Hi there,

I am using Rush Kernel on Ultimate HD 3.0.2

Device Arc S

I am not able to get into recovery mode (unlocked bootloader - status checked) with pushed volume down button.

Can anyone help me? Or is this normal? (I am sorry, but I didn't read all 32 pages of Rush Kernel thread)

Thanks in advance!

BUT,,, Yesterday I have change my ROM to (ICS) which is sdk version, and I know that...

the ICS url:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1314781&page=7

whatever,,,, the wifi is not work ! the data(3G) is not work ! the Bluetooth is not work ! so how to enter the recovery mode to return my previous ROM ?!

Help me please!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hloo:
Any help plzzzzz
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyh90:
just use quick boot but select either recovery or bootloader depending on which option you need
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
ICS is new enough that I don't know if this will work, but in Gingerbread and lower, you can use adb to do it.

Make sure Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Mode is enabled. Then go to the computer type

adb reboot recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hloo:
Thank you alot, but it does not work

I have faced this replay:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I'm waiting... :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If you're using Quickboot already do what Anthonyh90 stated. Chose Recovery or Bootloader
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hloo:
no my friend , that was my previous state when I was using another ROM!

my state now that I cannot send or run APK in this ROM beacouse the (3g, WIFI, and bluetooth) is not work so I cannot send (Quickboot.apk) and the ROM has not any file manager to install Quickboot.apk from SD card !

sorry :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
OK, yeah sometimes you need to post a little more details.

Here's Quickboot

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16959871/Quick Boot-11.apk

Here's Astors file manager

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16959871/ASTRO-203.apk
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hloo:
no my friend... you was in the correct path in your first replay...

I need a way to send "adb" command to my phone ! :(

when I connect my phone to the laptop>>> the message appear "unknown device" ! in (2.3.*) the laptop know that is (Nexus one) !

** sorry for my bad english
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zener79:
This is a long and hard procedure, but should work if you are not able to use adb or if you don't find a better solution. You will have to power on your device using the battery trick one time or two:

Pull out the battery.

Copy the passimg.zip to the root of your sdcard.

Power on the n1 with the battery trick. You have to keep the vol- button pressed while booting.

Install the passimg file

Root your phone (oneclickroot is fine).

Reboot with adb or with battery trick.

Install quickboot and rommanager

Install recovery.

Use quickboot to enter in recovery and restore your backup.

Hope this helps

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hloo:
it is work tell installing "passimg.zip" !!! thank u !!!

my phone now is 2.1 !

but I cannot cont. cuz tell now the usb does not known my phone !

is there any way to root the phone without usb ? I mean like installing "passimg.zip"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -_-Help-_-:
-Upgrade to 2.2 Froyo

-look for a Z4Root QR Code

-Scan the Z4Root QR code using Google Goggles or w/e

-Install it using astro or a file manager app

-look for Z4root tutorials on youtube

-????

-Profit

You don't need the computer at all but for looking up tutorials IF you are confused that is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zener79:
You need to install the phone drivers on your PC, than you can use oneclickroot. Reboot, install quickboot, recovery and you are done ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NZtechfreak:
Let me know your questions for my review, will try to answer all queries.

You can either ask me here, or here (it'll be easier for me to keep track of questions at the blog I think).

Also getting the Note and Razr if you've got questions regarding those handsets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragooon123:
Here are the points I want to know

1) Is the button's area used by apps or do the buttons just hide?

2) A good benchmark of the GPU and CPU

3) How is the screen's quality when compared to SGS2

4) Is the UI fluid or does it lag?

5) How does Dungeon Defender perform on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
- call quality and signal strenght

- comprehensive test of the browser

- general stability of Ice Cream Sandwich

- camera: test photos in daylight and low light situations

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragooon123:
Ah yes, a thorough camera comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
1) Can the face unlock be tricked into unlocking with a picture?

2) will the device unlock if your eyes are closed?(as in could someone unlock the phone by holding it to your face as you slept)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
Does it unlock in low light, if so whats the threshold.

I too would like to know dungeon defenders performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinMArchibald:
Thanks in advance for the review!

1. UIMark3 for Flash and HTML5 benchmarks

2. Quadrant benchmark

3. Speakerphone volume/clarity when on a call

4. Landscape/portrait deathgrip (check degradation of WiFi data, calls, cellular data, Bluetooth)

5. Open a bunch of web pages, play flash in each one simultaneously, and then pinch/zoom on of the running flash videos and check for any lag. (SGS2 seemed to be able to handle this test)

6. Battery life (high, medium, low usage)

7. GPS lock - cold, warm; tracking accuracy over time (think there's a test app for that).

8. Play YouTube music videos (various resolutions) and see if check for stutter, sound/visual sync over time. Play a bunch of times to make sure there aren't any crashes.

9. Take a bunch of high-rez photos and high-rez videos in a row and make sure there aren't any crashes or UI lag.

10. Verify that the notification LED works properly (calls, SMS, MMS, email, voice mail, IMs, etc).

11. Try the different software keyboards (including the new Android keyboard), portrait and landscape, and let us know which ones you find easiest and most accurate to use.

12. Try the copy and paste functions and let us know if they seem easy to use.

13. Upload/download throughput lows, highs, averages.

14. Try the dictation to see if it's useful.

15. Try to play DIVX Plus HD videos (MKV) to see if they play okay.

16. Try the video voice mail feature.

17. Let us know how hot the device gets while using it for various things.

18. If you can, try to use the device for turn-by-turn car navigation (Google, TeleNav)

19. WiFi connection success, near and far from hotspot.

20. Charging speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tornlogic:
Oh one thing. If you decide to check out DD could you please do multiplayer, and one of the larger maps. Then play through to one of the later waves. Like the Bionic, the Nexus should be brought to its knees.

Honestly there's not an Android Phone out there that can play DD, yet it's funny to hear certain people say it will be plenty fast. I promise those people it won't.

You can prove that for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwurky:
1. Does Face unlock work correctly with change in facial hair?

2. If you have the equipment, does Android 4/GN support 3G video calls (standard video call over 3G, not Skype/Google or other app)

3. How is speaker quality with voice calls? playing music? is there static/clipping at the loudest volume? How does it sound: tinny, empty, enough bass (for a handset), etc.

4. Test MHL output to HDMI, quality good? sound supported?

5. Test USB on the go, mount USB flash drive, mount memory card reader with memory card in slot and test if GN can copy files back/forth over it.

6. What kind of device encryption is available on Android 4? What does it mean? If handset is locked, is password/PIN/face unlock necessary to see who is calling you/read SMS/see notifications on lock screen?

7. Is there noise cancellation/secondary mic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakimy:
thanks.since everybody is hammering you with questions I'll just ask one question :)

can you monitor the cpu when you do the following:auto sync,installing and uninstalling an app.cus when I do these things in my DHD,I notice that the cpu goes up to 100% and the phone lags for seconds before it returns to normal (not sure if it had to do with Lookout) so I hope that it got fixed in ICS ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
How does usb on the go work and does it really have noise cancellation? A lot of us are wondering if that notch in the battery hides a second mic underneath.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjtj4444:
5. Open a bunch of web pages, play flash in each one simultaneously, and then pinch/zoom on of the running flash videos and check for any lag. (SGS2 seemed to be able to handle this test)

I wouldn't open a bunch of web-pages if I was a reviewer. Hidden windows does not update, so they dont stress CPU. It is more of a test of amount of memory and obviously Nexus will do good since it has a lot of RAM.

But browser performance with zooming and scrolling should of course be tested in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
I posted on your blog but I'll ask here too just in case. Could you please check is usb host mode works. That is to say can you plug in a usb drive, since it is supposed to work with usb controllers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kidd_Funkadelic:
1)Specifics on audio Quality. This will be my main audio source, primarily streaming (Pandora, TuneIn), secondarily local mp3s. I have nice headphones, and direct line in on 2 vehicles to upgraded stereos, so I'm curious how it stands up against my Galaxy S (Fascinate), which has fantastic audio quality w/ the Voodoo Sound App (Wolfson Microelectronics WM8994 ultra low power audio codec).

2)Lag free? That's one complaint I have w/ the Fascinate. Opening any app should be essentially instantaneous. I should need to wait 4 seconds to open Chomp or Jorte...

3)GPS lock time?

4)Battery Life!!! Biggest drawback to smartphones...

5)Boot time? I haven't seen this one asked yet, but on my Fassy, rebooting although varying in time, sometimes takes close to 5 minutes to come up fully and be completely responsive. Granted a chunk of that is the stupid media scanner which I would expect to be gone w/ the removal of the sd card. Since the memory can't have changed since the last boot, no need to scan...

UPDATE:

One more- the new dock points on the side indicate an easy way to put in a car or home dock- but does that support audio out? I'd LOVE to be able to slide it into a car dock w/out the need to plug in any wires and have it both charge and stream audio....

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Your faith overwhelms me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
Could you please check if the Galaxy Nexus (GN) can output digital audio to an external USB DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)?

Theoretically, the ICS’s USB Host feature allows that (i.e. USB DAC = USB audio device).

developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/index.html

developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/usb/UsbConstants.html

That allows bypassing the internal DAC & internal amp of the GN, in order to get a portable or home audiophile quality system with the GN as a source:

GN audio player > digital audio flow > internal DAC > internal amp >> headphone

=>

GN audio player > digital audio flow >> USB >> external USB DAC >> external amp >> headphone / speakers

A list of external USB DAC:

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
1, When the hell does it come out.=-)

2. Social network syncing with the new peoples app. Specifically frequency of updates.

3. LED colors on notifications.

4.Are there "quick controls" in the browser ? The are in honeycomb under LABS. They turn off the tabs and allow one thumb navigation while on full screen viewing.

5. Picture overall quality in in and outdoors...and Video HD quality. Is it choppy stuttery low FPS etc ?

Does it play MKV and other HD videos well ?

As an audiophile (sortof) can you elaborate on this. You lost me as to what it could mean.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
Let’s consider the iPod/iPhone audiophile quality ecosystem with a proprietary audio interface (i.e. with some Apple tax):

. a home system:

msbtech.com/products/dac4home.php

my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010a/IMG_7635t.jpg

iPhone > PCM digital audio flow >> proprietary dock connector >> Apple-compliant DAC (MSB Platinium DAC IV) >> amp >> speakers

. a portable system:

head-fi.org/t/549750/cypher-labs-algorhythm-solo-discussion-and-impressions-thread/135#post_7581345

iPod > PCM digital audio flow >> proprietary dock connector to USB cable >> Apple-compliant DAC (Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo) >> amp (HeadAmp pico Slim) >> custom in-ear-monitors Westone ES5

The audio USB host feature of ICS could revolutionize the portable audio market using (existing) standard USB DAC.

Properly audio USB host-implemented Android phone >> PCM digital audio flow >> standard USB interface >> standard USB DAC >> amp >> headphone

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
As far as I'm aware, USB DACs are generally plug-and-play so I imagine they would be compatible - but software would need to take advantage of them.

But since you are talking audiophile-level, you probably intend a home theater setup, in which case I'd just use HDMI for digital audio out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Does the new data management app/feature differentiate between 3G and WiFi data? On a tiered plan, obviously, Wifi data isn't counted. I'm curious if you can manually set it to record only LTE/3G/2G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Im sure it does differentiate and total of all data. Data counter widget does all this, but im not sure about total data but that can be easily figured by adding all data amounts. Data counter widget also tallies tethering data, but not sure about the internal ics counter.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bjlefebvre:
Really basic, but how does this thing feel to carry? The released specs all sound good to me, but is a phone of this size just going to be a hassle to carry around?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
The only question(s) I have are:

1) How smooth is it compared to the GS2? I have a GS2 now and everything I throw at it...it keeps chomping. But i saw some preview videos of the app drawer loading..etc etc.

2) Can it handle 720p and 1080p MKV, xvid or divx files like the GS2 can? This was really usefull for trips

3) how good is the battery on ICS?

One extra question:

does the new buttons on the bottom cause more "burn in" that is created from AMOLED since you are create a line across the bottom and is always there, I would think you should see some burn in during a blank full screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
I want to see how the camera fares in low-light conditions compared to the SGS2 and iPhone 4S. That's one area it is supposed to be better at so I want to see for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Does the stock music app finally output gapless from track to track. This annoys me a little and I haven't found a 3rd party app that I really like using daily.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Why not:

GN audio player -> PCM to MHL port -> MHL to HDMI adapter -> HDMI stream demultiplexer with SPDIF output -> external SPDIF DAC/amp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
because USB DAC is the norm in the computer audio industry.

There are existing portable or wall-plugged standalone USB DACs at different price levels.

USB DAC can be integrated in an amp / preamp / network player / CD player / …

"GN audio player -> PCM to MHL port -> MHL to HDMI adapter -> HDMI stream demultiplexer with SPDIF output -> external SPDIF DAC/amp" is possible, but with a lot of adapters, hence a lot of different transmit/receive clocks, hence a lot of jitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ralph9994:
does it have otg?

test with ps3 abd xbox controller.

drop test from waist level
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
There are lots of SPDIF DACs/amps/preamps on the market too. And it's only two adapters, possible can come down to just one, if they make a MHL to digital audio adapter, which is likely since MHL wasn't just meant for HDMI, it's meant for all kinds of digital video and audio for portable devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Does ICS allow for a landscape dialer and incoming / outgoing call screen. Always annoyed me that this is portrait only in Android as have phone on its side in the car.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:

What do you find different using sgs2 and galaxy nexus.

That's my questions for ya lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
My only question is when you are done with the review can I have it? :D

No seriously I'd like to hear your honest opinion on the back cover. I've read some articles complaining about how cheap and plastic it is and other articles praising it for soft touch coating. Which is it???!

- sygic

Etc.

Test how fast it gets gps lock, gps accuracy.

@ NZtechfreak

You should really update your first post with a compilation of users requests that you are able to do once you have your device for review. If you dont then things will soon get lost under all the posts and also people can see what you already have on the agenda and only need to post if their request isnt on the list.

[Xperia Play General] osmoses:
After I had rooted my r800x I noticed my battery life was barely half of what is was or less. After grabbing BetterBatteryStatus I had found out that "lidswitchd" was using as much cpu as it could get. When I had rooted my phone I had used a different sdcard as one of the sets of instructions had recommended but not wanting to keep putting the back on I had disabled the safe sdcard option (settings->storage->Disable Safe SD card). Once I re-enabled this option my batter life went back to normal.

Not sure if its just limited to the r800x/stock2.3.3 or not so just wanted to let every know my findings, kind of curious if anyone had see this before.
[Xperia Play General] normb8s:
Thanks for this advice. I noticed the same thing of lidswitchd using 94% of cpu. my phone was crawling man. which was causing me to loose my mind. I looked all over to find and answer and most said to factory reset. Your solution saved me from punching kittens and choking out puppies

The lidswitch has a counter that is always counting how many times the device has been slid open and closed. likely the error you see is attached to the counter process having a problem and cpu being increased because of this

very interesting
