On that note, anyone know what the update checking interval is for the Market? I've had "Auto-Update Apps" checked since I bought the phone, but I have to constantly go in and update things manually. Is it updating without me knowing, and if so, why doesn't it leave the little "App Updated" icon in the notification bar?
The guy owes me money.... oh wait.. I said the TF101.... drat!

Yea, I couldn't remember which TF he mentioned before, but either way, it does suck pretty hard that the Xoom isn't first to ICS. With so many of those initial HC tablets being pretty much stock, you would think more would have been already updated. Oh well, at least they are starting now.

Yup. And according to Droid-Life, the update is live now, so get to gettin if you got one.
If its based on 4.0.3 I'll be faster than the stock GN ICS

Android noob here:
On the Iphone, all the app icons have the same size, shape and the same dropshadow.
On the ndroid, it seems that you can do whatever you want as long as it fits within a square, am i right in this? Also, no automatic generated dropshadows, right?
thanx

Paging DrFunk, and other G-Note owners.
After my debacle with Handtec, I've finally got my order fully cancelled and money refunded. I see that Negri has the White Galaxy Note in stock now. It is a little more expensive than Handtec was charging, but nothing crazy. Now, though, I have have a dilema...
Waiting so long for the White Note, and then wasting a few weeks with Handtec, has now put me in a weird timeframe. I would like to get the Note, but we are only a month or so away from MWC. Anything launched at MWC probably won't ship right away, so we're still a few months away from anything really new shipping, but still.
So, owners of the Note, if you DID NOT own one right now, would you still buy it today? Since the Note just came out relatively recently, I'm not anticipating a newer version at MWC, but who knows.

The screen. The screeeeeen.
Joking aside...if I didn't own a Note, would I still buy one? Maybe. MWC is right around the corner, with quad core devices. GSIII and HTC's quad core roundup are coming, but I guess you gotta ask yourself, do you really want that? If they were quadband 3G, I know I would. (The GSIII will be quadband 3G, btw).
But I bought (and made love to) and Note because it's probably the fastest, most versatile device at the moment. Large screen, fast processor and pocket-able frame make it a winner in my book. That's what I want in a device, and that's why I bought it.
There probably will be a successor to the Note, but it won't be at MWC. The Note is too new, and still selling quite well. If you don't need to have the latest and greatest, I'd buy it.
and then buy the next big thing, because I am a whore
I feel like I've posted this every two months, but..... ATT finally rolls outs Gingerbread for Samsung Captivate.
what?

So now that leaves the T-mobile Vibrant as the only Galaxy S variant still stuck on 2.2, right?
Ugh, and it fucking sucks. This is my first and last Samsung android phone.

Didn't the vibrant get an unofficial gb update through the kies software?
The Vibrant 4G did, but not the OG Vibrant.

I just started up my transformer prime and it immediately gave me the notification to update to ics. I did that and then I went to marketplace to sync my Gmail account but every time I try to download any apps, it gives me an error code (-101). I don't know if the transformer is the problem or if it's ics or something else. Has anybody else had this issue?

Try clearing the Market's data and cache.

Tried doing that and restarting a few times, didn't seem to make any difference. It gives me that error code whether I try downloading a new app or one I've downloaded onto another device.
Yea I have been using ICS on mine also and if I hadn't been able to get ICS I would probably be looking to get a new phone. Now I feel like I can wait until every phone coming out has ICS and AT&T has a decent selection.

Coming to a phone near you in late 2013/early 2014!
Just in time for my upgrade to come due on my Tuna.
Now that I've had my Tuna and it's 4.65" screen, it's hard to imagine going back to something smaller. It's nice to be able to see web pages on a phone screen, it really is.

Same position. I'm using the CM7-9 ICS port out there and it works pretty well, certainly no worse battery life than the 'stock' ROMs out there.
I am in a different situation than a lot of people. I bought the phone outright and have had 10-15 different roms on it already jumping around to hacked official roms, MIUI, CM7, etc, etc until I found something I like.
ICS is so good, once you start using it the though of going back to GB is impossible, even if you might get slightly longer battery life or more stability. The apps alone (gmail, calendar, browser) are worth some of the downfalls of the cobbled together Galaxy S ICS ports that are out currently.

I think of it less as a phone and more as a pocket computer with phone capabilities, which is exactly what i want. The vast majority of time i spend on it (the Galaxy Note) is spent browsing, reading e-books/pdfs, gaming, emailing and texting, thus a large, clear screen greatly improves the experience. Of course, i do call on it too, but that function is the only one where a smaller screen is preferable, and even still, it's not at all uncomfortable to use.
It would probably take the unveiling of another ~5.3" 1280*720/800 (or higher display), plus a quad core processor with a similarly slim form factor for me to be particularly envious, but i'm not sure how likely it is that such a device will be revealed. I'm eagerly awaiting the unveiling of quad core phones, but i think my Note will keep me very happy until the end of the year, by which time we'll hopefully see the Note's successor.

The size of the T-Mo GSII is almost identical to the AT&T GSII Skyrocket. So any cases for that should fit. I'm not really one for cases, though, so I'm not really much help with recommendations, but maybe that will help with your search options.

Can't wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II Fury HD LTE Plus.

Hurhur, the Blaze 4G better have a red-eye reduction feature!
My wife had a continuum. Just before getting rid of it, we were able to get an official leaked 2.2 rom on it. It sucked.
I don't care how nice the gs3 turns out to be; I'm never going back to a non-nexus android device again.

I am completely and utterly intimidated by the prospect of rooting and flashing a new rom on my Vibrant. I tried it once and hard bricked it (a real hard brick, not one that could be fixed like most people get).
Every guide I have seen has been hard to follow and never complete, either assuming you have already rooted or assuming you aren't an idiot.
I just bought this Diztronic TPU case a few days ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YEFM8M/?tag=neogaf0e-20.
I'm very happy with it so far. It's smooth, fits nicely and isn't bulky, is smooth to touch, and it has cutouts for the buttons which I like. Highly rated on Amazon as well.
Have you considered replying toone of the ads on craigslist offering to install Roms for $20?
Great thanks! I am really getting slower 3G speeds on this Galaxy S 2 compared to my old iPhone 4.
Galaxy S 2: ~ 10 Mbs
iPhone 4 : 13 Mbs
I can't really complain with those speeds, but it still sucks. /firstworldproblems
Is that an ATT branded S2 or international?
Telus, a canadian service provider.
The wiki says it's the same as the T-Mobile version, with HSPA+.
