I guess I'm one of the older guys here, I'm 27.
I got my Gio as a backup phone in case I messed up my Nexus S.
The funny thing is that I've spent a lot more time modifying my Gio than my Nexus, on which I pretty much flash a CM7 nightly every now and then.
Right now I'm stuck trying to build CM7 for the Gio, but I can't devote that much time to it either between a full time job and some semblance of a social life. The annoying part is that the build error I'm facing right now has no obvious documented solution or troubleshooting process.

I'M 16 Years Old

What limited would that be, and because as far as i'm aware the limit is hardware - the Dell Streak running 1.6 has 2gb available for apps storage.

I really think some people need to step away from the internet and go out and have some fun. If it's here when you get back then you can install; if it's not then not.
Surely an update to your mobile phone can not be the most important thing in your lives...
Not in the least bothered really when it comes, today, tomorrow, next week.
I already have Froyo and its running sweet.
How many stupid Desire users does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?
The be honest I am more irritated by dumb-fu-ks who have more time than brain cells and have to whinge about everything including the firmware release of a completely functional mobile phone. Even worse is the fact that two mouse clicks away is another section of the forum where they could easily download and run about a dozen versions of Android 2.2 hacked/packed/delivered with all the bells and whistles.
So people put the fu-king phone down, chill out, go outside and take a breath of fresh air. You will live longer ....
THE UPDATE WILL COME WHEN IT COMES..... Jumping up and down about it, checking the OTA update on the phone every 2 microseconds and making another 1.4 billion new threads won't make it appear any faster...
Next instalment in the new pointless thread forum - "I fu-ked up my phone when updating the OTA ! Help !!!", "Why won't the HTC OTA work on my Orange/Virgin/crap branded Desire" and my favourite "What's an OTA", oh and another "Anyone got Froyo Update?"

you do have a point here. but: why do you get so angry?
you accuse them of having nothing else to do than wait for the froyo release. yet, you fail to convey this in an appropriate manner: In order to make them realize that they are poor souls (whose sole purpose in life is a phone software update), you better tell them in a way they don't perceive as *****ing and hating.
however, the way you get all angry about them raises the suspicion that you yourself have little else to do in your free time. complaining about them doesn't help anyone!

A new Samsung Galaxy W user

I am happy to see the Galaxy W has at least separate section on XDA, although its in Low 'Activity Devices' but if we keep it going then soon it will be on 'Current Devices'.
I recently bought the Galaxy W and now playing with its feature. In most of the areas i found it fantastic but it lags some of the things.
In the coming days I will be posting here. I hope this section will grow soon with plenty of custom ROMs.
In past I was the HTC fan and used many Android based models but now i have switched to Samsung completely.
Thanks
I bought mine last week too. It's actually my first experience owning a smartphone but I'm perfectly happy with it. Thought it'd lag a bit more but instead it's as fast as I could hope. Of course, TUXBrother's OC custom ROM helps in that regard^^
I'd also like this section to grow some more, as I feel this is quite the underappreciated device. Bring on more custom ROMs!
My second android phone
Hi,
I bought one for my wife 3 day ago, she likes it, and my opinion is that besides the screen and the size its not much different than my SGSII.
I think this is a really good middle range phone, perhaps the price should be a bit lower
Magorgoth
For Php16k (I dunno how much this is in your currency), I can't ask for anything more. It's snappy especially right after applying all the tweaks, the body/screen size is big enough to still remain pocket-friendly, and the screen is bright enough. It can run almost anything it's big brother can, except for those HD games which obviously requires a better GPU.
i bought mine 2 months ago, and never regret it, actually this my 1st smartphone and im glad i pick a good 1

just bought this SGW yesterday, china version,..everything just fine till i found that it doesn't have market place apps pre-installed on it..
been trying to install manually...install is OK, but when creating new account, it always exit...(
the worst part is...this china version is S$50 more expensive compare to singapore price..
now i'm thinking about updating the firmware with other version (region)....
Which firmware do you have installed on?
China Firmware should be the I8150ZSLA2 version. If it's still on warranty, try going to the samsung service centre in your area. It is of course your choice whether doing that or to reflash using another stock rom

Can I do that? i mean asking service cnter to reflash with another version that include market app..
I just thought this is the rule in china...not to include google related thing..
I don't think Samsung Service Center would do a reflash, If they can't solve the problem, you could reflash it yourself. In my country there are some people using ZSLA Firmware (Taiwan CSC), and none of them reported market failure. Might as well check on your firmware version (settings -> about phone, look for baseband version)

xboarder ICS completion

Apparently xboarder bricked his phone and Samsung wont exchange it therefore he cant develop anymore for the skyrocket but he is open sourcing from where he last left off. Since its being open sourced somebody should look into making a t989 build. It has gsm working I think.
Man I thought these were hard to brick... sucks

Someone, told that there is an officially supported jtag available now. His response "cpu is dead".
I smell bull****.
I like howxda has been going down hill because people assume the worst in others. He's making something from scratch and you expectit to be perfect. bricking your phone more than once seems kind of expected when you are working by yourself and testing experimental builds in your own phone. I believe he never purchased a new phone so maybe that is why Samsung is not replacing it.

Well dude something fishy is going on because we have year warranty on our phones out the box and samsung doesnt know he mods his phone all he has to say to tmobile is his phone wont turn on.....trust they will give him a new one.. So idk whats up but our variant i dont think will ever see ics
To be honest im gonna get bashed for this but ill state some things i've notice..I've been following xboarders work since the sensation which he was accused of kanging from the CM team and threw a ***** fit hence the "they dont like me"you guys must of heard from xboarder himself.So he left the sensation community and his rom to kristofpetho i believe or was it melvin,cant remember its been awhile.Then he received a donated amaze 4g and soon enough he was working on asop ics which was never finished..Then lef tthe amaze to work on a donated skyrocket with the same tactics luring ppl to think he's building a asop ics rom..so far nuttin's been finished but a ported sense 3.5 rom for the amaze i think he kanged RC team..I say this because i seen a post NRGZ28 said about it and xboarder quickly replied pm me and that was the end of discussion..The sense 3.5 can be arguable however cause its just speculations of a post i have no real facts if its kanged..I understand he's just a kid and he's working,testing on his own but the facts is there just browse like i said i've been following him since we've had the same phones..I know im not a dev and havent put out anything but im learning and im thankful for the righteous devs that we do have.Just sucks ppl donated to him..This isnt a i hate xboarder post i have nuttin against him i just dont like shady ppl..

He sent back before. He is saying they won't do it again. He says the jtag won't work cause his cpu is dead.
I think the kid hit a wall and doesn't want to admit defeat. Considering, how he was treating the other guys trying to work on ics.
He said he was going to release a 4th preview in a day. That was a week and a half ago. So.. I think it's too hard for him.
Without drivers cyanogen and slayher haven't got an alpha build. So this kid was full of cap from the start.

Or maybe it is a unsatisfied owner feeling like venting/discussing the very current (and yes well covered) subject with other owners in a DISCUSSION FORUM.
Sorry but in my opinion... someone that jumps right into someone else's conversation (it is obviously not a conversation for you, you make it clear you disrespect the comment and submission) and yells "troll" is him/herself the troll.
Grandma didn't say it exactly like this but it went like this...
"if you don't have anything good to say... then STFU"
Something like that.
By the way OP... I hear ya, so do a lot of others. It pisses me off every time I see a press release mentioning some new ICS unit and here we are... still waiting. I rooted and am using a 4.0.4 that makes it "usable" but it still has crappy phone/data coverage/reception and Verizon has been promising that "patch" since early in January well before the launch day buyer's return deadline. We shouldn't have to root and take chances like that... lucky for me I'm an IT engineer and am comfortable with it but I would have been much happier with a 'bone stock" unit that works right.
There are a lot of threads on this... but then again there are always a lot of threads on everything so... whatever.
Verizon is dropping the ball big time... my only hope is that the update they come out with will be better that the leaked 4.0.4 and that is what is taking so long... and at this point in time is still not an excuse.
Im trololo bcoz im talking the truth? I bought nexus device coz i had enough of flashing my galaxy s! I just wanna have fast, stable and bug free software.
It's definitely weird that the Galaxy Nexus is lagging behind update wise. But at the same time, it's a Nexus...if you're not on the latest OS version you're doing it wrong.

Luckily you're in the right place if you are tired of waiting for the OTA.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do for the official OTA though, for that you'll need to contact Google or Verizon.

When will you upgrade your HOX to a new one?

So I have had my hox for nearly 20 months, and I am barely able to make it through a day due to battery issues. I think its time for upgrade, but I love my hox so much that I dont feel like switching to a new one yet or heck maybe even a year. I may perhaps still be tempted by the m8 or maybe z2 or the forthcoming g3. But there's still few months for that. How about you guys, are you upgrading yet or will hold on to your hox for eternity
well i have a couple more months then its being boxed again ,not to keen for another HTC this time its a great phone but time to change ,looking at the oneplus one or the oppo find 7 for a bit of difference ,steering clear of the big 4.

or you can simply buy a new battery for about 25 euro and wait next year for a new phone
I am happy with my HOX and I am not a maniac to changing my phone every year. Now we have better Kernel flasher and soon I hope we will have multy boot.
Yes perhaps a new battery it may be then. But I just want to see how other phones hypes are really worth

Up until today i was sure going to pick up xperia z2, because its a great overall device, but got to play with m8 all day, and i must say, its tempting. The phone just feels so great in hand, trully premium device. Now im torn between these two and have 1 day to choose. Decisions decisions...
I also dont want to change to something new yet. My hox is keeping me busy as long we have at least cm support

yes its about support as well now a days apart from other characteristics of the device itself
Wouldn't say it's a weird decision maybe a change from
Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony.
Nexus is still in with a chance. I just can't see what there offering that warrants such a high price.

+1. So many good roms still being maintained and developed. Next month will be my HOX's second birthday, still get some 4 hours of SOT depending on ROM.

I can already say that battery is beast like. Only received the phone like 2hours ago, it was at 57%, after heavy usage all this time and sot of 1:40h, i lost only 17%, and brightness was more than 50% all time. Trully impressive phone, only size takes some time getting used to, everything else A+.

Wow that's the total sot that I receive on my Hox. +1 reason to move on then I guess.
I have to see what happens with the oneplus one first

thats a nice decision... this phone is still one of the handsome phones out there... perhaps to keep the legend is a wise decision...:good:

the true legend out there, in my opinion, is HTC HD2 sorry for the OT :angel:

Perhaps this year with G2 or Xperia Z, so I'll give my HOX to my gf. She now has my old Bravo.
