So I just noticed that Osmos was the top paid game ($4.99) on the android market with an insane rating of 4.8. And it's part of the Humble Bundle for Android I got gifted from iCole. Man it's a large game and man the graphics are awesome. Better than that Modern Combat 3, which lags like hell on multiplayer.

Osmos is the game I dislike most in the pack

Oh yeah, I also noticed this from the Humble Bundle site for Android:

Pay what you want. If you bought these games separately, it would cost around $60, but we are letting you set the price!

I know they kinda meant the games on PC on steam and such, but yeah.

The default software is shit from what I've heard, but there's already a nearly 100% working ICS build, thanks to kernel and driver stuff from nVidia.

If you're willing to flash a custom ROM, I think it's great value.

Of course, I don't know about the Austrian phone market, but sale-point sells it international, for 270EUR. So maybe there's something better for your range.

Edited:

Alternatively I think the Nexus S is in that range. 280 EUR at sale-point

Why does everyone keep comparing the O2X to the Nexus S? It's like comparing the Galaxy SII to the original Galaxy.

It was an alternative. It has neat stuff like the curved screen, Android 4 and all that good stuff.

Maybe he wanted a phone which was wonderful out of the box. It's a good phone and it's in his price range.

Stuck with my mini pro for 2.5 moar years! Gawd it's slow.

After entering a 3 year contract with Rogers with a fucking BlackBerry Bold about 1.5 years ago, I just ended up buying a Nexus S off some guy on Kijiji. You might be able to find a Galaxy S or something for under $250 in decent shape to hold you over. 3 years is just too long...

So apparently the HTC Ville is a mid-range phone. A qHD SAMOLED, 1.5 GHz dual core, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB NAND, ICS-equipped mid-range phone.

Your Mini Pro is barely low-range.

I really hope for the Endeavor they didn't shoot themselves in the foot and use a Tegra 3. Yes, the benchmarks look amazing. No, a quadcore A9 cannot equal a dual core Cortex A15 equivalent.

If the rumored Endeavor comes out with a 1.7 GHz or higher Snapdragon S4, and keeps all the other specs, it will be a serious competitor to the SGS3, no matter what Samsung releases. If HTC releases a Tegra 3 flagship to compete with the SGS3, and the SGS3 shows up with the Exynos 5250, it will be soundly destroyed by Samsung in every single relevant metric for the SoC.

so I bought an iView 760TPC from some ghetto web 2.0 html website for $140 with shipping and handling, payed for the regular shipping dates but I'm getting it tomorrow because their warehouse is so close to me

Edited:

also, I used to have a sony ericsson xperia x10 and it was a piece of shit and I hated it and it stopped working the day after my warranty expired but I might be getting a galaxy s2 soon, anything I should know about it? any weird kinks you wouldn't know about it until you used it for a while?

[Ninja Duck]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an emulator for the Galaxy Nexus? I want to start tinkering with my phone but I'm not sure what to do with rooting it and whatnot. I want to what I'm doing before I attempt it and mess up my phone.

There is no emulator. Just read carefully and make sure you have a handle of what you have to do, and make sure you backup data.

So it turns out I bought the extended battery for the LTE Galaxy Nexus, instead of the GSM. Ffffffffffff

why would they be incompatible?

[iCole]

Why doesn't Samsung ship these phones WITH the goddamn extended battery in the first place? Both S2 and GNex look better with the bigger battery cover (imo), not to mention that you can hold the phone better.

also, Note doesn't have an official extended battery?

is the extended battery a noticable change in terms of battery life? (SGS2)

It's like $300-ish MSRP, mid-ranged in compated to those $600-700 phones.

Also, the specs are mid-ranged too.

[BrainDeath]

The Mini Pro is a fairly powerful phone, it's mid range.

IMO: ARMV6 = low range ARMV7 = mid range Multicore = High Range (for new phones)

The mini pro has a 1Ghz snapdragon and an Adreno 205, it's actually perfectly good.

I agree, I mean based on specs (which isn't everything, I know) it has half the RAM (512MB) of a high end SGSII (1GB), half-ish the processing power (one-core 1GHz vs two-core 1.2GHz).

In general terms, the Mini Pro is considerably mid-range.

Uhm my phone is 800mhz and has 512mb of ram

Oh god what the fuck does that make mine if it is worse than a mini pro

[garychencool]

Okay, what is everyone's spec version for a mid-ranged phone? The specs would be different per person, the fair way to describe a mid-range phone is to look at a high end phones and half the specs.

I can't give you any exact stats (xda possibly could?), but without the extended battery I've been getting low battery warnings by the evening (and back then I didn't even use the phone intensively) and I had trouble getting through the day without charging.
With the extended battery, the lowest I got after a day of usage was ~37% as far as I remember. (medium usage - checking social things, whatsapp, some music and general internet browsing).
edit: also, I'm using void echo kernel (the rebranded "Phoenix kernel" that they renamed it to now is kinda buggy for me, sticking to void echo) and that gives a rather noticable decrease in battery consumption as well.

Which reminds me, I haven't even used the standard battery of my second SGS2. not a single second

[Demonkahh]

Anyone knows how to fix the damn fucking fact that double-pressing the Home button simply makes GoLocker fucking stop caring about the fact that it's enabled and simply takes me to the screen effectively bypassing my damn security pattern?

No. The only 800mhz cpu I know is common in androids in the snapdragon S2 (such as MSM7230). It's newer than the one in the mini pro, and is in fact faster. Uses less battery too.

[garychencool]

I kinda hate slider phones now (yes, I hate my mini pro for having it), it requires soooo much pressure to press, would rather use touchscreen, which I do use like all of the time.

And SwiftKey X doesn't show if I have caps or alt on or not, but the stock does.

Next phone: no fucking slide-out keyboard

Anyone here with CM9 alpha 5 on their ZTE? I'd love to know how stable it is, because I'm pretty sure I might flash it tomorrow but I want to know some information before I'd do it.
