Your not going to flash anything until november?
i didn't flash anything on my N1 until i needed extra storage... and even then the CM experience was decidedly shittier then stock, so i stick to stock for now until i see a need to mess around.
it requires me to do work, which i'm particularly against.

Are some of you having issues with apostrophes not showing up properly in the browser sometimes? I think it's only when it's italicized.

You'll be happy to know then that they've added 2 new buttons to quick controls in 4.0.3!
Bookmarks and New Tab buttons have been added:
Praise the Google Overlords!
I agree with you. The tipping point for me rooting and installing CM was so I can use the the ext partition scripts to allow my Nexus One to breath. I think I have more than enough space in my GN for apps, music, and video. Don't see myself rooting and installing a custom rom any time soon.
That said, I still have not received the 4.0.2 update on my GSM Tuna. What gives Google?

I'm installing custom roms for performance reasons.. the 4.03 rom I have installed with a custom kernel is running better than pure stock.
It looks and behaves exactly like out of the box ICS, just better performance. Not even changing the launcher.. but that's just me, I guess.

Is there any way to make it so when I receive an e-mail, the notification light doesn't go off, but it still alerts me in the notification bar? I can't seem to find it in the G-Mail app settings.
Also, is there a reason why the keyboard features (such as autocorrect, dictionary, etc.) don't work with the Secondapps GAF site?

Label notifications should allow this. For example the "Notifications" Label on my account gives me notification on the bar, but does not make a sound of turns on the light.

Has anyone else experienced connectivity issues when having Wifi on simultaneously with data? I was at a cafe last night and while connected to their wifi, I was completely unable to browse the web/download apps. Both wifi single and 3g/4g were greyed out. Turning off wifi re-established connectivity.
What was strange, though, is that if worked at home. Everywhere else, it seems to be a conflict.

You sure it wasn't a acceptance based network where you have to accept terms and somehow it just wasn't popping up for you? Forget what those networks are called but they bug the shit out of me.
Naw, it's not one of those. It's not like Coffee Bean, where you have to enter in a code via web form before gaining access. They have the SSID broadcasted and post their password on a chalkboard. No web-form access at all.
Although, what's interesting now is that I'm at work and have both wifi and data connected, both icons are greyed out, but I can use TuneIn Radio pro running perfectly fine with no hiccups. Not sure why the cafe was giving me issues, since my other devices (wifi only) connect via wifi all the time.
Concern has just turned into very minor concern.
Now, onto the extended-battery deal from Verizon: I was able to get it for the $25.00, but I've yet to see it shipped. Order confirmation emailed, but I get a "Page Not Found" when checking status. Eck!
I ordered mine Saturday for the 25.00 and never got a "shipped" email. My order number also leads to a "page not found".
Fed Ex showed up 10 minutes ago with my battery. Dont worry about it
The battery adds a small but nice amount of bulk. It gives it a slightly heavier/sturdier feel. I like it.
Now I just hope Seidio releases a case to accomodate it
I found my answer regarding expansys: avoid

Sweeeeet! Awesome, thanks for that. I'm using this phone a lot more than my D2 and the battery life is killing me. I'll have to change my habits, of course, but man, the screen is so purty.I ordered mine Saturday for the 25.00 and never got a "shipped" email. My order number also leads to a "page not found".

For the case, I'm hoping for a decent skin, but if there's a hard case that can accommodate the extra bulk, I'm completely there.
Also, I'm just about to jump on the Best Buy insurance deal. Does anyone have any experience with it? Seems exponentially better than Verizon's Asurion option.

If you grey and have bars it means you're connected to an access point of some sort but not signed in or connected to google talk. Lots of places block this (port 442 I believe) so it means you can still use the internet but google services/push notifications won't work. When you're signed in to gtalk it's blue (or green on froyo/gingerbread)

That's not a warranty issue, though. samsung's recommended UK repair place wanted to know if he bought the phone from the UK, he said no.. and they opted not to help him.
I'd bet if he had said that he imported it from the UK through retailer X, that they would have repaired it.
He didn't contact expansys-usa to have them ship it to the UK, which is the way you would deal with a warranty repair..
every phone of UK origin has NO WARRANTY for someone in the US.. thus retailers like Expansys-USA will ship it to their UK branch, which will then contact samsung UK for warranty service.
Ah, interesting. I wasn't aware of this. That makes sense for my work connectivity because they block google talk, Google music, yahoo messenger, etc etc.
meh, you should have known this. He could have easily said it was from the UK since its only an import store in the US, no need for a repair place to know that. Its a UK phone, thats all that they need to know.
The actual proper method would be to talk to expansys. They would most likely either know a place they deal with, or work something out with the place the customer was referred to by Samsung. The poster seemed to go from 0 to jackass way too quick
edit... i took to long to post, robobandit beat me to it.
You acknowledge that when importing the phone, you dont have warranty service direct. You have to send it back to the company you bought it from first.

Of course, it helps when you don't drop your $750 phone.. but maybe that's just me..
Yup. Just keep your Expansys receipt safe and sound, and the box too, just in case.
Best Buy's plan has gotten much better since I've worked there. Turn around time is a couple days, maybe 3; slightly slower than insurance, but no deductible/limits.
Just gotta remember that it doesn't cover lost/stolen.

you should avoid importing things period. the warranty is almost always for the intended region of first sale.
Thanks. I obviously don't expect it to be lost or stolen, and I'm more worried about damages. The prospect of replacing a cracked screen with a brand-new phone + no deductible is enticing enough for me to get it. Last time I lost a phone was my first one, obviously because I didn't develop habits that protected against careless-phone-placement syndrome.
also i believe there are two plans, make sure you choose the black tie plan. My wife just went through a fix and while the actual plan worked well, Geek Squad (at least the one by me) is run/staffed by a bunch of imbeciles.
Ah, I will ask about this during my lunch break. Thanks!
it took 3-4 business days to get a replacement phone, but she was given a loaner android phone for a $50 deposit. So it works pretty good

Ah, so that's what FedEx was trying to deliver yesterday. Awesome. My phone is at my doorstop right now. No GAFers try to steal it!

Sorry, your signal isn't good enough to make it this far. I can't feel anything.

I just got the extended battery today. Same situation. No shipped email, page not found on order status but lo and behold, it's here today.
The battery isn't physically much bigger but it adds quite a bit of "heft" to the phone. I actually don't like it. It's now off balance. I really enjoyed the phone as it was. However, the battery is the most important thing. So hopefully the extended gives a little more life.
On the bright side, the case I purchased from amazon fits just fine with the extended battery in there.

I thought the poster said expansys wouldn't help when he said this:
You might be right that I just misunderstood the wording and he actually hasn't contacted expansys, so I guess he needs to post again. Want to import one of these so bad but things like this will hopefully hold me off until best buy starts selling them.

He only mentioned that he bought it from them.. I saw nothing about him contacting expansys-usa
The issue is that he told the repair folks in the UK that he didn't buy the phone from the UK..
This probably made them think it was a US model.. since he said he bought it from expansys-usa.. they couldn't have known that expansys-usa imports UK phones to the US, so they referred him to samsung US to get a US-based repair company.

Just got the extended battery in the mail, came pretty quick I'll make sure to post updates. On a typical day on the regular battery I was getting 15 hours or so out of it (wifi at home and at work), on weekends not so much. It adds a little more heft to the phone making it feel more solid and the bump isn't that much different.
Is there any special way we should store the old battery? I figure I'll just keep it around for when this one starts to get crappy.

Relatedly, be sure you turn on personalization for voice under settings. Makes it a lot better.
