No sign of JB either on Kies or OTA.

I've noticed the notification bar is now dark grey on Official JB:

Thought you saw it before that.

It either sells or goes back to T-Mob

Or come Wednesday I like it more than I do currently and keep it. With the Nexus due so soon I can't make my mind up.

Syncme Wireless

I don't think it does instant synching i.e. when you take a pic but it can be setup to run a schedule dependant on user defined criteria e.g. time of day, day of week, if connected to a router etc etc.

The app is free but there is a couple of in-app-payment features which come to about £2. Well worth buying them as you can exclude folders/files, schedule the synchs etc.

I have used this for the past few months and, once set up, it just runs in the background synching my data every evening

Same here, not sure how that will pan out. Root is ready though.

DTWD · 8 Oct 2012 at 09:11

Just seen a pop up from Kies telling me there is a kernal update, but now it's wanting to update Kies as well (it could be the same update just badly worded).

I have updated Keis but it keeps crashing on launch now...grrr!

So I've tried AOKP and CM10, personally slightly prefer CM10 but what are the other options/suggestions?

Whats the deal with wanamlite?

I like some of the Samsung features but not the cartoony looking icons etc, should I be looking at theming? And if I went with a fairly stock ROM could I theme right over touchwiz and have every icon done? I've themed iOS before now and there's always apps and icons that don't get picked up so stay as stock and stick out like a sore thumb.

After that, I guess I've now got a seriously powerful handset, what should I be doing with it? Is there anything at all that gives it a point to having a quad core cpu?

use nova or apex launcher and an icon pack like suave or vexillium

matt100 · 8 Oct 2012 at 10:08

so wanamlite is basically stock samsung? Is there a JB version?

mrk · 8 Oct 2012 at 10:09

As has been discussed many times over the last page or two, yes!

matt100 · 8 Oct 2012 at 10:35

OK, had a read through, still none the wiser lol, I understand the process of flashing a ROM/CWM etc etc, I just don't get the wanamlite thing that seems to suggest flashing multiple things, do you flash a rom and then other stuff on top of that?

To be honest all I'm interested in is the ripply water unlock which I acknowledge is a ridiculous reason to flash something, everything on CM10 works perfectly, the camera is super crisp unlike some have found and I like the tweakability of it so I'll probably just stick with what I've got.

Haven't been able to connect to Kies for 3 days. Finally got it working. Still no update though.

DiCe! · 8 Oct 2012 at 11:12

Delighted with this phone, ICS runs fine, I have the patience to wait for JB.

Not sure I like any of the stock sounds on it though! I have settled for the bottle opener notification.

Download zedge from play. Plenty of sounds and wallpapers on there, all for free.

So for everyone saying they want the LTE version and specifically calling out the 2gb of RAM, is there any evidence anywhere of real world usage that would be impacted at all by having more RAM?

Or is it simply that 2 is a bigger number than 1 so it must be better?
