tried to do a reboot recovery with some mega hacks

and just got it stuck here.

followed like all these tips from http://nexusshacks.com (thx diav for the link <3)

spent days trying to get a USB driver to do this hack and couldn't install the drive till this FINALLY WORKS
http://www.mobisynapse.com/forum/topic/how-to-installing-the-usb-driver-for-nexus-one-and-nexus-s

except it doesn't recognize it when it's at the bootloader screen

June 20th is rumoured GS3 date in Canada. I may steal my wife's upgrade for myself, seeing as I've bought her two phones already.

uhm may I ask you guys which among these smartphones is bang for the buck and why, if possible based it on your own usage..I plan to buy a new phone as a replacement for my softbank 707scII (yeah I know its old and low-tech but I treasured it very much

)

for the high-ends
galaxy s3/optimus 4x HD/htc one x/ any sony(?)

mid-range
galaxy s2/prada 3.0/optimus L7 & L5/xperia P & S

entry level
optimus L3/xperia u

*kindly correct me if I put a phone under a wrong category (mid-range/high end/entry level)

Thanks for those who'll reply

the Nexus 7 are in stock by me. but i'm trying to get rid of my ASUS Transformer TF101 first before picking up the Nexus 7. but no one around here is willing to adopt an almost one-year old device.

Amplifier · « **Reply #90 on:** September 07, 2012, 12:04:58 AM »

How about the new Kindle Fire line? The 8.9" HD looks pretty swell, especially for only 300. The 7" HD for $200 looks real tempting, though. There's also the Fire SD, which only runs 159 now

Amazon sure is gunning for an even more massive portion of the tablet market share, I reckon.

mrhomiec · « **Reply #91 on:** September 07, 2012, 04:56:52 AM »

today's unveiling is definitely some hot new buys.

but i'm not a fan of Amazon's custom skin over Android. even with rooting, they always find a way to shut people out.

i finally sold my ASUS Transformer TF101, so i picked up the Nexus 7 and i love it. no regrets.

UPDATE: all the free stuff you get with your Nexus 7 purchase. http://www.mrhomiec.com/google-play-store-apps/

^ DoPE... they always giving away free gift cards with phone plans, better look out for those. How is SwiftKey? I should cop the free one

Man I heard bout dem ads in the Kindle, they got good reading abilities? This Nextbook is pretty dope, doesn't lose connectivity - but the GetJar got no apps at all - no access to the Google Play store so ghetto

but serves its purpose - being an e-reader for cheap.

FUCK LMFAO I ain't gonna name names but FUCK man serves me right for bringing my Nexus S to a fix it shop that looks like a internet gaming / banner making / website creation / was there auto insurance too? They couldn't fix my phone, lost my phone, even when I had the IMEI I was like sssshit whatever, I gotta move forward. WAS THIS CLOSE to getting whatever Galaxy Nexus on a cheap plan 40 bucks 250 MB data at Fido but lol okay. I'm a wait:

[Exclusive] Galaxy S4 due in February

Samsung plans to unveil new device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona

By Kim Yoo-chul

Samsung Electronics plans to unveil the latest in its Galaxy line, the S4, at a European technology exhibition in February, according to company officials and local parts suppliers for the technology giant.

The timetable was released just three days after rival Apple introduced the iPhone 5, which has received a mixed response from industry experts and consumers as it is seemingly lacking in innovative features.

``Samsung is ready to unveil the next Galaxy smartphone _ the Galaxy S4 _ at early next year’s mobile world congress (MWC) in the Spanish city of Barcelona,’’ said an official from the firm asking not to be identified, Sunday. The new device is expected to hit shelves globally in March at the latest.

MWC is the biggest exhibition in the world for telecom companies and Samsung, will exhibit the new Galaxy at its booth.

The new Galaxy, expected to be the firm’s most powerful handset yet in terms of hardware specifications and software advancement, will help the Suwon-based outfit further cement its leadership in the global smartphone market.

When I first saw this, my first thought was "What if, in response to this, Apple developed it's very own gaming system just so that it could have it's own propietary controller that could do the same thing for the iPhone?"

Then I
