The Official Android Thread [OP Updated 1-24-12]

Might give it a spin and see. There is little on XDA about rooting this phone because it just released this week. I'm stuck with tethering as my only source of internet at home. I might come close to 5GB if I'm on xbox a lot.

 

Go ahead and use Desk SMS from ClockworkMod as well. It allows you to text from your browser and works great as well.

 

I used that when it first came out. the $5/year turned me off, but Koush is one of the best devs for android.

 

I copy and paste so much stuff some from the computer to text that it would be worth $20 a year for me. Desk SMS and Swiftkey X are two apps that I tell people should buy when I learn that they are Android users.

 

Agreed. The ladies swoon over my proper grammar and capitalization in extremely long texts. It makes them think you care a whole a lot about (texting with) them.

 

I have that as well and it works well. I had to pay for the wireless so my wife can use her ipad because I'm a cheap ass and didn't get her the LTE version.

 

ive used desksms, syncsms, and mightytext. giving mightytext another go around.

 

I was not pleased at all with Mighty Text's first go around, but they did just come out with a major update including the ability to send an MMS from your computer. Let me know how the new update works for you.

Before upgrading to an ICS phone, I actually though Browser Texting was the best. But now that I am on Android 4.0.X, DeskSMS has been the quickest/most reliable.

 

I got onto the beta waiting list, and tweeted something for them to bump myself up, so i should have my hands on beta before the end of the day.

 

I got my beta invite this morning via email and it doesn't look like it is all that personalized; I think you just need the one-time passcode. Check the spoiler below for my email and see if you can do the same process to go ahead start using the beta now.

Welcome to the MightyText Web beta!











































Thanks for being one of our beta users for the new product. We've made some improvements and hope that you will have a better overall experience.

























On Android Phone:
- Make sure you have the latest version of the Android App (currently v2.05). This is very important, to be fully compatible with the new web release.


- Configure the MightyText Android application as you have done previously (select the same Google Account). If you already have it working on the latest version right now, then you don't need to do anything.


On Computer:
on Google Chrome: Make sure you still have the MightyText Chrome Extension installed and enabled. (Currently at v7.0). Once you switch to MightyText Web, the Chrome Extension will act primarily as a "notifier" -- it will show the incoming notifications.
Done! Launch new Web App:

- Go to the new MightyText Web App at https://mightytext.net/app -- you should be prompted for a one-time passcode. Enter the passcode mighty-april


Please note: You will have to sync your Google Contacts again. This should be a one-time thing, and should take < 20 seconds.


LAST STEP - very important: ** restart your browser (Chrome) **


That's it. We recommend that you bookmark the new web app URL: https://mightytext.net/app. As always, please send us your feedback and bug reports, and feel free to be brutally honest :)



Questions? Please reply to this email, or click the new "feedback & support" button in the new Web App.


We will post product updates and new feature release info on our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/mightytext - so "Like us" on that page to stay in touch.


thanks,
The MightyText team

 

duvel

 

sprint GNEX is on 4.0.4.
VZWs owners must be mad

also, I just got an extended battery (2600). I wonder how much of an increase i can get.

 

If we hit May and we still don't have it then I'll be mad.

 

Fuck my iphone going back android in may...what should i get

 

big red

 

VZW has been a little quiet recently. I wouldn't buy now, as most phones have been out for a bit.

future options

Moto Razr HD (or Razr Maxx HD) whatever they call it (aka droid fighter???)
Samsung Galaxy SIII (details released in about 10 days)

 

With the rumblings of Chrome coming out of beta soon, I wonder if the 4.0.4 update may be waiting on this. Maybe a browser change with the update?

 

Glad to find this thread. Got a rooted G2X running CM7 and looking at CM9 for some ICS love.

Didn't see it mentioned here, but Google is selling an unlocked GNex direct from them for $399.

Kind of reminds me of the Motorola Q I had

 

I miss my HTC G1

 

Why the fuck did ATT have to Nerf the HTC One X and switch the quad core to a dual core? That being said I'll probably still be picking one up.

Franco released an update to his stable kernel, milestone 3, for those using the kernel but not the app.

 

pretty common knowledge that LTE doesn't work with tegra 3 (yet). even the GSIII will have a S4 in the US for the LTE radio.

china still uses WIMAX AFAIK.

 

Yeah, I just flashed this afternoon and while my phone was idling the battery percentage crept on up 5% in about 45 minutes.

 

Yeah, Just played w/ the HTC One X. Awesome camera, big screen, feels nice in the hand :aero: , pretty snappy response and supports google wallet. Will be kopping on the 6th.

 

anyone on an old device with CM9?

a ported build just popped up for the evo4g, and thinking about giving it a go, even though all other ICS builds have been horrible.

 

Run CM9 on my atrix and AOKP (parts of CM9) on my prime. I've run cyanogenmod on my last two phones (milestone and G1) and always loved it.

 

ICS up to 5% of android devices. very very quick jump.

 

rdoanecu just realized I was douching up the Verizon thread with my questions, thought they were in here. Got the radios all set, thanks for your help. I'll look around for a link to one of the 4.0.4 roms later in the week. Havent flashed a new rom since the first week I got the phone so I'll want to read up and not screw shit up. Thanks again.

 

so many acronyms/phrases in this thread that I don't understand

 

You recommend CM9 or AOKP for Nexus?

 

If there are no major bugs for the Nexus AOKP port I'd go with that.

 

we haven't even really scratched the surface. good thing we haven't brought up screen technologies (tons of acronyms)

 

rdoanecu Should have done it when I had more time, but looks like I softbricked my phone. Flashed the rom and the gapp after a full wipe and also my update.zip file from my Titanium backup for my apps. Hit reboot and it sticks on the black google screen. Gave it some time, pulled the battery and nothing. fuck

 

unrelated: here is a test shot from the EVO LTE, which has the exact same internals as the ONE X AFAIK.

My CM9 experience was awful. Granted, it was still a really early beta, but every 3 seconds or so I recieved a pop up about android.phone force closing.

 

In benchmarks, the T3 tended to beat out the S4, but on levels that you won't notice in day-to-day use.
