iPhones have official carrier settings in data files inside iOS. Maybe that's why you didn't have that issue with the iPhone.

You can also try flashing some different radios to see if it'll make a difference.

I know on my wife's galaxy s certain radio's would not have the roaming mode.

On the original stock firmware it appeared to. Only gets warm now on 4.0.2.

^It'd be nicer if they could make the black part white and the buttons black

That's the standard ics color. I'm sure it can be skinned but I don't think having a white block at the bottom of the screen will look very nice or be battery efficient.

essel 01-05-2012 09:45 PM

So the white one comes out in February? Fuuu I guess a bit longer wait then

CP.AR 01-05-2012 10:19 PM

i don't know man... the reason why the GNex looks relatively "normal" sized right now is because when the screen is off everything blends together.

if the screen "pops out" like that, I'm afraid it'll make it look even larger (as do white phones generally appear "larger")

twitchyzero 01-05-2012 10:44 PM

black looks more classy imo

LOL. Where'd you get that from?

hongy 01-06-2012 12:21 AM

I don't know just assumed.

!MiKrofT 01-06-2012 10:30 AM

Here's what the white one will actually look like:

essel 01-06-2012 01:52 PM

:heckno: I think I'll stick with the black

hongy 01-07-2012 02:03 AM

So it was originally rumored to be out for fido/rogers on the 10th but now it's the 13th? What was the point of matching with telus.

parm104 01-07-2012 01:55 PM

I'm getting annoyed with this Bell Firmware. I think I'm going to root this phone after all and put some custom rom/radio after all.

In need of a better, more reliable radio, more juice from my battery and a better notification bar. Makes no sense why they put a battery icon with no percentage or numerical way of measuring how much is left.

!MiKrofT 01-07-2012 02:38 PM

It's not a Bell firmware. It's the stock Google one but released for Bell that's on the phone which of course doesn't come with a lot of these tweaks. There are only 3 radios currently available for Nexus Galaxy. First thing I did was unlock, root, and flash because I wanted a newer OS revision. Currently running Android Revolution 2.1.2 with KK6 radio and widgestoid to get the samsung type of dropdown notification as well as modded battery bar. You might not like it since it's based on the same concept as VillainROM for SGS2. You might want to try CM9 or VillainMIUI instead.

Not quite ready to do MIUI just yet on this phone. I'll end up doing the unlock/root and then either put on Kang Project or Eagles Blood Rom on it. They're both using KK6 baseband so I can't go wrong with either one. I'll get my Nandroid done and my SMS Backup and go from there.

!MiKrofT 01-07-2012 06:21 PM

Do note that kk6 is an international baseband. I'm using it now and it does have the random disconnect as well. Lk1 and kk7 are the North American ones.

CP.AR 01-07-2012 09:57 PM

kk7 has been awesome for me. no drops, no failed messages etc...
(I'm on Rogers)

Just flashed from modaco to bixie's AOSP 4.0.3 build.
I think I'm gonna sit on this ROM for a while until RevolutionHD goes 4.0.3

!MiKrofT 01-07-2012 11:18 PM

Yeah kk7 was good. It's the stock bell radio. I did have 1 drop but trying kk6 now to compare battery life. KL1 is the newest one of but I've heard it has problems on aws.

hongy 01-08-2012 12:12 AM

It's been out for a while so how is the battery life for you guys? I'm basically set for this phone once it comes out for fido but I need it to last at least a day (12 hours if not more) on about 45 mins of talk, 100 sms, plus whatsapp.

!Yaminashi 01-08-2012 01:00 AM

I dunno about you guys but my s2 drains battery most if I'm using whatsapp. If I'm just browsing, Facebook, twitter etc I can get 24 hrs easily

You should be able to get 12 hours. I'm able to hit 30 hours with light usage while polling 3 email accounts and pushing 1. There's some line and whatsapp usage in there too. The biggest battery drain is when the screen is on. This is on Android Revolution Hd 2.1.2 custom rom.
