It appears that this phone will depreciate a little faster than the iPhone4.. seems better to look for a used one one or two months from now?

Probably drop off the most when the iPhone 5 gets announced in late August..

Wireless etc. Won't take a phone back if it has more than 15min. of usage.

I saw the sticker but didn't peel it off.

Good thing the Samsung Galaxy S3 is on it's way before the iPhone 5 hits the market next year. Samsung doing pretty good with 10million sold already in just over 3 months. August will simply be an iPhone 4 refresh.

rumor has it that samsung might be using some sort of flexible amoled screen on the S3?


http://www.oled-display.net/smd-want...splays-in-2012

Even thought these are just the prototype to show what the screen is capable at. Who's know what kind of new design they might come up with that can take advantage of these screen. I wouldn't mind having a screen like that as a watch/phone =)

Bought it straight.
Also got the warranty. Came up to about $700

It's the costco warranty, and I forgot what it covers since I was busy creeping on the girl while the guy was telling me what it covered lol.

All I remember is: I get the $50 back in 3 years if I don't use it.

Rooted. Unlocking...
Rooted with
[25.07.2011][CF-Root v4.1] KE2/7/8, KF1/2/3/4, KG1/2/3 - su+bb+CWM4 - xda-developers

Phone came with KF6, so I used KF2. (I didn't bother reading. I just went with it lol)
Then searched for Chainfire's app on the Market.
It's finding the code now.

I just got two Samsung Galaxy S2 for free from BELL. lolz. One for my wife, one for myself


Brief Review: Super Bright Screen (LED) Huge and Sharp

Slimer than most dual-core superphone/smartphone.

8.0M camera with true 1080p HD recording!

I still need to get used to a phone without an actual keyboard though...

Chainfire's app doesn't work on the i9100m's.

Rebooted. Did step 3.

Still locked.

Nevermind. I'm retarded.
Tried step 2 again. and it worked.

sold my old SGS for 270 on craigslist.
sad that the phone depreciated so much but I guess it's over a year old with scratch/dent marks where I dropped a barbell on it.

anyone try getting rid of the triangle at the boot screen?
I'm running Lite'ning Rom 4.1 which includes the ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel.

From my understanding I would simply need to flash a stock kernel like KG2, then flash back to the ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel via flashing the zImage in CWM manager?
Does this sound right?

EDIT never mind found the appropriate FAQ in the rom thread. Can't wait to do it tonight.

How do I get rid of the yellow triangle on bootup?
1. Download the CF Root Kernel from here and extract it until you have a zImage file. Put this file on your phone's internal memory.
2. Using the PDA option in Odin, flash the Stock XXKG3 Kernel from here. The password is intratech@XDA.
3. Go to CWM, and select the Flash Kernel option. Use this to install the zImage file.
4. Download the Ninphetamine 2.0.2 Kernel from here and extract it till you get the zImage file. Put this file on your phone's internal memory and flash it using the Flash Kernel option in CWM.

What a load of crap....After purchasing the phone online yesterday, I just got an email from The Source saying the product was displayed with an incorrect price and they cannot ship it to me.

The yellow triangle doesn't bother me at all. I mean.. How often do ppl reboot their phones anyways? I never do unless I need to flash something.
