It is for now. HTC is making a big comeback with their one series. I'm tempted. HTC one x. Release date around April.

Ya that's pretty much how I see it, I can just keep waiting and waiting but eventually just gotta get one.

Wow. Just got it up and running with no issues using market enabler. Yay for free $10!

Custom ROM or APK?

twitchyzero 02-28-2012 12:56 AM

my $10 just went through as well..guess they finally fixed it :alonehappy:

!MiKrofT 02-28-2012 11:08 AM

Sweet. If you can just use market enabler I would definitely try it. The other method from xda was deemed unsafe due to killing the secure element chip.

Simplex123 02-28-2012 11:28 AM

So that means you can use your GN at like Save On Foods as a paypass?

twitchyzero 02-28-2012 11:33 AM

ie timmie ho...mcdicks

Yup, McDonalds, Superstore, and Tim Hortons to name a few.

So I'm guessing JordanLee you used this thread?

BTW, for me the Market Enabler app in the market was not compatible with my GN so for those who have the same problem here is the apk:

As I've mentioned in a couple of posts above. Be careful when using the XDA method which you've posted.

Secure Element Error Locking Users Out of Google Wallet

Simplex123 02-28-2012 02:02 PM

I've given up because it won't let me add a card. It just sits at the adding card loading and then comes up as failed even after resets and uninstalls. I didn't get the Secure Element Error though hopefully I didn't break my chip

JordanLee 02-28-2012 02:30 PM

I was on Team Kang's Maguro 24 build which had Wallet pre-installed. I since updated to build 26 and Wallet wasn't incorporated due to legal issues. So I just went back to my Titanium Backup and restored it and all worked fine. I'm on 4.03 as well, then I used Market Enabler and you have to physically hold down on T-Mobile to switch it over. Clicking it does nothing.

Got into Google Wallet and even though it asked me to add a card, I just selected cancel and scrolled over to the Google Gift Card and the $10 was already there. You can either use an American CC to add funds to this Google Gift card or buy a Vanilla Mastercard and add it in that way. May just get my cousin who lives in the states to spot me some so I can buy stuff with it without incurring the 5$+ activation fee.

!MiKrofT 02-28-2012 02:59 PM

How is build 26 of AOKP anyways? I've been sticking with Android Revolution builds since I got my Nexus but thinking of finally switching over.

JordanLee 02-28-2012 03:12 PM

To be honest, I absolutely love it. So many little tweaks inside ROM control and I've never had a restart loop or random shutdown on me yet and it's been over a month. Battery life is miles ahead of stock and the power saver feature is great in class or when I barely turn the screen on. Little tweaks like holding power button when screen is off to turn on torch is what makes things a lot easier. I tried Manhattan and it wasn't too stable for me.

jonwon 02-28-2012 05:20 PM

how does the galaxy nexus compare to the optimus 4g lte

Yeah. Those were also the main reasons I stuck with android revolution Hd. Stability and battery life. But looking at changing things up a bit

i got market enabler working for that first link for my GN...you have to make sure you don't have forced GPU rendering under your dev settings though. Make sure you hold down US T-Mobile to actually spoof it.

As long as you reset it before you switch ROMs there shouldn't be any problems.

just a quick warning to everyone

HD SAMOLED screen are not only known to have defective banding issues but are also prone to ghosting/burn-in

http://androidforums.com/verizon-gal...es-normal.html
http://www.google.ca/support/forum/p...hl=en&start=40

I was playing GTA III today and i put it on pause (goes to menu) for 10 minutes. The screen didn't sleep and when I return to the game I noticed temporary burn in/ghosting that lasted ~30 seconds. Good thing it's complete gone but I was just surprised such a short time can cause what originally appeared to be a serious burn in.

I love the screen but god damn the QA for it is terrible...no excuse even if it's a new technology. I am just surprised there have not been crazy reports of the soft button burning in...

!MiKrofT 03-03-2012 01:50 AM

Yeah. I have camera zoom fx. But my default camera that I use is Capture Pro.

Armind 03-07-2012 07:43 PM

Hmm anyone using Kang - Maguro 27? XDA thread says 26, so not sure if 27 is stable or not?

Will there be a battery % on the pull down menu like Manhattan?
