NO good news found regarding ICS update for GS + GSII and consecutively also for GNote :

w w w .darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/get-your-ota-and-ice-cream-update-here.6184/

Whatever this doubts mean - just ordered the GNote :)

ICS --- Inshallah ?

i'm really hoping samsung will not refuse of hardware buttons from his future devices such as sgs3 etc... a device without buttons looks not well for me :(

that's why i don't like htc - they have not got them!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
Well since Sony ericsson have promised ICS update to their entire 2011 android devices, and motorola and htc to some of their devices which all have hardware buttons, so samsung is bound to provide ICS update to atleast their sgs2 and onwards devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alesscam:
Google have confirmed that ICS will be optimized for devices with HW buttons..

The problem seem that it's not optimized for Exynos cpu...

probably will require 'more time

After upgrade to 4.0 they will simply deactivate the button lights. After a few hours you will have forgotten these buttons ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
No, ICS supports hardware buttons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kanalcommander:
I think further discussion is no more necessary. Google confirmed that on devices with hardware buttons they will be used. Edited this to opening post.

The advantage is SW buttons will be removed so the screen is bigger :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
Totally Agree,soon all modern devices have a 4.5+ screen:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Lol

Google has confrimed that ICS will support phone with hardware buttons.

In these devices the onscreen menu icons wont be popping up.

SO no worries. Enjoy the 5.3 inch screen and ICS ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
ICS's no hardware button design is half baked as you will always have to press physical hardware button (power button) to start using it. With physical home button, you just get easy access to unlock the phone. The need for physical button will only go after they have devised really efficient always on capacitive sensor that doesn't drain considerable battery (like double tap on N9 to bring unlock screen).

Amoled Burn Out

Am I the only one that is worried about ICS virtual buttons? With my Galaxy S after a years use I can see burn out where the android notification bar is located. I've been using my phone in landscape for the last few months and now I am also seeing burn out on the right side of the phone as well.

I think you will see even more pronounced burn out with the ICS virtual buttons on Amoled screens. :(
[Atrix 4G General] deech:
So I got this machine and thought it was the bee's testes, turns out it isnt ;)

I cant rely on it to re-boot without loosing the contents of the internal memory. last night for seemingly no reason it shut it self down and when I discoverd this I re-booted it, and it took and age to restart, then when I checked the internal memory pfffft gone, everything, all gone.

What a crock of cack, this happens every 3rd or 4th time it reboots, looses the entire lot.

Phone is stock, un-rooted, has had a factory reset and reformat of the internal AND external memory.

Frankly this is the last time I buy a Motorola phone, going back to my trusty Hero for the remained of this contract (22 months) that thing has had salt water baths, drops bangs, knocks, rooting and tooting and still wont die, Atrix, cant even take a reboot with out dieing.

I've never heard of that happening

[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
Seriously dude change your phone .. never heard any thing like this in the forums. Maybe faulty hardware. Myself using AT&T version of ATRIX.
[Atrix 4G General] deech:
Yeah I thought of that, Orange are being difficult though (now why arent I surprised?)

I am wondering if using gingerbreak all those months ago had anything to do with it, but since then I've had the OTA update from orange (the pre-pre update they pushed months ago) that wiped out the root / gingerbreak.

The worse of it is that I never know when it'll happen, seems to be random, not every reboot causes the internal wipe, so damn frustrating, think I may have a look at CM7 as it left Beta last night I wasnt going to hack about with this phone but seems I am being pushed that way :(

Oh well if anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated :)
[Atrix 4G General] GeNiO426:
It's probably just the phone itself. I've never had or heard of any Atrix owner having those problems before. It is technology so there's going to be faulty devices somewhere along the line, unfortunately.
[Atrix 4G General] deech:
In an unexpected turn of events, a second call to CS Dept, has decided that indeed the phone is Terminally Ill so new HS coming tomorrow, so factory reset tonight to clear everything off

But it is an odd one, random reboots and internal memory wipes...

Ach well :)
[Atrix 4G General] malfuncion:
Glad to hear you went the proper route of having it warrantied other than trying to polish a turd. If I run into trouble CS reps I always wait a day and call back. A new person on the other end usually helps the situation a lot.

I had run into a similar issue here at my work with a device. You can troubleshoot it all you want but on mobiles it either works or doesnt.

At the end of the day, save yourself some headache and call it in for RMA.
[Atrix 4G General] Note_E:
This happens to me sometimes. Not hardware fault. Motorola can't make a phone.

[Nexus S General] joesloco:
The Nexus S 4G will allow you to tether 3G or 4G using most of the apps in the market such as Wireless Tether or the built in hotspot app (3G only), but these methods turn your NS4G into an Ad-Hoc network. Some devices, my notebook computer for instance won't accept an Ad-Hoc connection so I found another (Simple IMO) method.

Some background:

My brother has an Evo 4G and he has never had any issues tethering to my notebook computer using 4G so I wanted to find out why. Turns out Evo's use a different method of tethering. They do not broadcast as an Ad-Hoc network they use a completely different method of tethering called "SoftAP". This essentially makes Evo's think they are actual Access Points, which any wi-fi enabled device can connect to.

I found a way to make my NS4G work in this manner using the WiFi Tether app, very similar to the Wireless Tether app in the market.

Prerequisites:

MUST be rooted.

Make a nandroid backup ( better safe than sorry)

Have some time to toy with the settings if the ones listed below don't work (which they should)

Download and Install attached file "WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6" on your NS4G and grant SU permissions.

Open app and go to Settings-> and change to the following below:

Change Device-Profile: Samsung Galaxy S

Change Setup-Method: Netd (Master)

Once you change those settings you will be able to tether as an Access Point and not as an Ad-Hoc connection allowing you to connect and tether your 4G with pretty much any wifi device.

You may have to play around with the different variations of the options but the ones I have given above should work just fine.

**One thing I should note, the only issue I've had with this is set up is when you stop the connection. The app might "Force Close" and on occasion reboot the device. But that is a small price that I pay to tether my 4G connection.

Let me know if this method works for you just so I can confirm it wasn't a fluke on my end! :)

Hope this helps anyone with similar tethering issues.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
the latest version from the market allows you to choose softAP mode
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
Wireless Tether is blocked for us 4G users on the market. The last version that I was able to download from the market was 2.0.7 and it didn't include the softAP option. While I never have had a problem running in ad-hoc mode it's good to know the app has been updated since 2.0.7, thanks joesloco for the heads-up.

btw your instructions worked for me I was able to connect with 4G through an actual AP instead of an ad-hoc network.

[Nexus S General] PepeJones:
My Nexus S 4G is running on latest stable version of Cyanogenmod.

As far I know, the 4G switch/widget is broken in this version.

When I turn it on from settings, 4G scans for a while and then it says disconnected. Does 4G work with Cyanogenmod? Any patch required? Or should I replace with a different ROM?

I'm in a major city that has Sprint 4G coverage.

How could I get 4G tethering working?

Thank you.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Great guide. I forgot all about this when I used it on my optimus.

I heard that this is faster than the native one. Is that true?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Hi Demar, I'm currently on GR4, but it should be the same on TP2.

I just tested with my own setup, I set the wi-fi channel on the router to channel 13, and the phone was unable to connect.

Then I changed the property "ro.wifi.channels" in build.prop to 13. After a reboot it connected fine.

So it seems that's all you need to do, either edit or add the line

"ro.wifi.channels=14"

to your build.prop.
[LG Optimus 2x] CryptKilla:
Yeah. I know this. I tried, but without results.. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Which kernel are you using? I'm on HP-RC4.
[LG Optimus 2x] alanber:
Wifi channels enable for both 11g/11n networks

Hmm... What script do you mean? ;)

Anyway, to enable last (14) channel for .11g, without the script,

you need to set "wifi_country_code=JP" in the "secure" table in the following database:

"/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db".

(It may be easily done with RootExplorer and SQLite editor installed).

Also, it may help for 5GHz .11n too, by default (for USA) very few channels are available,

Most channels in .11n become active with EU code in the field above.

And, there is no need to reboot the phone after change - just switch WiFi off/on!

[Desire General] kuroneko007:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/8848669/Android-upgrade-for-Google-Nexus-S-in-weeks.html

So Google has announced that the Nexus One will not be getting ICS as it is simply not powerful enough. As the Nexus One is basically the same as our Desire, there goes any hope of an official update.

Question now is, once ICS goes AOSP, is it going to work? Without the N1, we will be lacking some necessary drivers, won't we?

Not good news. I know N1 owners and Android commentators all thought the N1 was going to get it.
[Desire General] Terepin:
Another reason to ditch Desire for good.
[Desire General] PulpzillA:
didnt they say any device running gingerbread would be able to get IC? i'm confused.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Old hardware, Low internal memory. Is it possible to run on the Desire/Nexus one, but they do not want ot make it. Period.
[Desire General] danarama:
There was never any hope of an official update.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Desire was never going to get an update, but Nexus One was always in the grey area...

I guess they can easily say hardware requirements are holding it back - it will run GB - but maybe it hasnt got the internal storage for ICS to run effectively... devs can probably span it onto EXT on SDCARD but of course Google won't want to do that...

Its probably a case of 'it can.... but probably not as well as they like.'
[Desire General] Kyoraki:
I smell hypocrisy here. First they say that any device capable of running 2.3 will be able to get ICS, but ask them to port to a device with a different chipset to their other flagship phones, and suddenly it's simply 'too old'. And I bet they'll continue to moan that handset makers and carriers don't update devices enough.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
The problem is not the SoC, but the LOW internal memory. They just don't want to take out apps and shrink the size of their "original" build to fit a smaller system partition.
[Desire General] ZeGuitarist:
"Ditch Desire", "ICS looks ugly", "Roboto is a complete failure", ...

I could ask "why the hell haven't you left Android yet?", but since you strike me as reasonably logical and intelligent, I suspect you simply think all the alternatives are even worse than you consider Android.

Which means you're not just logical and intelligent, but my word, you're depressing.
[Desire General] erklat:
The only thing I smell is one more charade low skilled users granted us the last time an official update was released :D
[Desire General] DasGensu:
since 2.3 aosp is only about 70-90mb big, how big is ics going to be? even the desire has a system memory of ~200mb (correct me if im wrong) so why wouldnt they be able to fit it in there?

at least let the xda devs do their magic, dont wanna ditch my precious device :(
[Desire General] Terepin:
I already wrote why.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
the nexus one has in total 145 MB in /system

the ICS sdk system image is 170 MB (without google apps, wallpapers and ringtones)

so

1) it doesn't fit in the n1

2) probably it will slow down a bit the n1, and that its not acceptable for the average users (that after the ota will have no chance to go back)

3) marketing purpose..maybe about time to buy a new phone, as the very small internal memory (like our desire) was an epic fail and its going to complicate everything for the average user that have no more free space

this explain why google will not update it (atm :D)

cyanogen will do soon when the source come out
[Desire General] deakodude:
With the speed the devs have been churning out roms lately if they put the ics rom out for the desire by the time my contract is up I shall stick with my desire and just swap sims.
[Desire General] erklat:
Oh no, that would mean another official update not done properly :eek:

I think it would be about time that average joe should decide if they want OTA updates or not.

I find it amusing that the moaners knew the Desire failed miserably with internal space compared to iPhone 3GS and Galaxy, and yet they bought it :D
[Desire General] Petols:
So is this the final nail in the coffin for Desire?
[Desire General] Terepin:
The final nail would be when most devs (read all true devs) left. But yeah, Desire is with one leg in grave.
[Desire General] kuroneko007:
Hardly - the amount of development still going on for the Desire is phenomenal compared to some much newer phones. Probably the easily unlockable bootloader has a lot to do with that (take note, handset makers...)

Right now I (and probably a lot of people here) am running Android 2.3.7 - the most recent version of Android on the market. This means that our Desire is more up to date than the most up to date phone you can buy in a store right now. How is that "one leg in the grave" (btw the expression is one foot in the grave)

I am sure Cyanogen & team will come up with CM9 for the Desire based on ICS. None of us can yet say how it will run, but I would bet my bottom dollar that it is coming.

Personally, I have another year to go on my contract with the Desire. I expect to be running ICS quite happily for the duration of that year, and during that time, I'm sure that my phone's OS will be more up to date than all of the people I know around me with an Android phone.

Then, when my contract is up, I will get a phone that has satisfies the following conditions:

*Rootable

*Unlockable S-Off-able bootloader

*Micro SD slot

*SIM-unlockable

*Plenty of internal memory

Then I will have the equivalent of my Desire, just with new hardware specs. And it will be awesome.
[Desire General] RoiK8181:
I never expected any official support for that ICS ROM anyway, on the N1 nor the Desire.

but, i'm sure that upon Source code arrival, it would be adjusted to work on the desire.
[Desire General] civarch:
I also never expected the desire for the ICS even. With that exeprience from gingerbread tells me not to expect for another wave of OS upgrade. And that is how i rooted my phone and install custom ROM (CM7.1) to it. I never imagined the power of this phone since i rooted it. It gives myself a feeling of having a new and powerful phone again after a year of constant hard reset due to memory issues. I know the CMs and other Devs are already reasearching to port another upgrade to the desire and a big thanks to them for continuously searching and developing. :)
[Desire General] gsmyth:
I'm more than happy with GB on my Desire at present and have faith in the XDA Devs and Modders to create a working ICS port for the Desire, regardless of the fact an 'official' desire update will not be released. Look at what they have achieved so far. The HTC software updates are a separate matter, look at the debacle with GB, I dont think Sense would be missed a great deal if someone brings a stable vanillia ICS version to the Desire. The fact that someone has already ported ICS to the Nexus one (albeit SDK version and not 100% working) must give some hope to devoted Desire users. :)
[Desire General] island3r:
You people don't get it I think.

IF the Nexus One doesn't get official ICS support, then there will be NO ICS Adreno 200 drivers. If you don't have gpu drivers, you don't have GUI hardware acceleration, which is the most important new feature that ICS brings.

And what other device has the same gpu? That's right, the Desire.

So my point is that we have to support the N1 users on this.
[Desire General] chichoko:
That wont be the case I think... We have already found a way to enable partial H/W acceleration on GB custom roms... so our devs will surely find a way to enable full H/W acceleration in a custom kernel/rom whatever...
[Desire General] alidsd:
Just pray that good devs don't go away from Desire development, this is the only way we can get ICS or beyond ICS.

[Desire General] Terepin:
GPU acceleration, new UI, new apps. Oh, and yeah, it's shiny. :D
[Desire General] danarama:
Got to be honest, its all about how shiny it is for me too.
[Desire General] DooMMeeR:
problem is, the existing driver is for another interface, it even is OpenSource, so someone with the insight could rewrite it, but so far nothing has been done on that end

Adreno 200 is not really different to the Adreno 205 but QC does not deliver new drivers for the 200

as of now it is a harsh thing, as there are pretty new devices out there which will not get ICS love because of that descision

Wildfire S

Galaxy Ace

Optimus Net

Optimus Hub

ZTE Skate

Huawei smart bar

Ideos X3

What ROM/kernel are you using?

If it's CM7 based, than welcome to the club, this is a common problem for all of us since over a week ago.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Yeah I'm using nightly 177 I believe with stock kernel. Actually this has been happening since I first flashed CM7 back in nightly 124.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Supposedly I read that if you go into Manage Applications > Youtube and uncheck enable hi-res playback or something... it'll fix it. Perhaps it was Adobe Flash.

I haven't personally done this but it was also screwy on MIUI (CM7 based) running over Faux's kernels.

I don't have either installed (Adobe or Youtube) to check ATM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HappyCamper954:
Been lurking here for a few weeks, reading, studying, learning, and my eyes are still red...

I just wanted to share my experience so far and get some feedback.

Rooting

I followed the 1 click Ace Hack Kit to the letter, still had an issue where my phone wouldn't boot, screen was on but black, and had to re-install stock from the Ace Kit to correct it. Phone Rooted

Custom Rom

Reviewed all the Inspire Roms and decided on the Revolution HD 6.1.3

Again following everything to the letter, I couldn't get SuperWipe to run, it would abort, but did the full manual wipe (wipe data/factory reset - dalvik cache) in the the boot loader as in the sticky guide for flashing roms, radio's, etc. Was able to install 6.1.3

Q: Is there really any difference between doing it manually and running the SuperWipe Script?

Radio's - Read the Radio Sticky numerous times. Shoot, so far the recommended radio for HD is kicking but however, still have a fundemental question.

Q. I get that it's a gamble, but what sets these radio's apart from what AT&T gives on their stock phone?

I read in the radio sticky they are sort of area specific or vary by location. May or may not be good, try it... I don't get that because I could buy a Inspire in CA, use it in FL, and the stock radio doesn't change. I get that these coders and developers are freaking awesome and above my head, but intrigued none the less.

Doesn't it really come down to tower coverage? Still putting the radio puzzle together after much reading.

Anyway, I wanted to post a BIG THANKS in the Revolution HD Thread but can't as of yet.

I really like the 6.1.3 ROM so far. Some here may hate Sense, but I like the eye candy.

XDA is cool site and still have a lot to learn.

Hey, at least my first post wasn't "How do I boot loop my new phone?"

I'll see you around :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Some will say the radio is region specific. I and others find no evidence of that. The Dev will recommend the radio for the matched ROM you choose. That should be your best bet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Welcome!

I actually don't know if superwipe does anything special or just takes the hassle out of wiping partitions and FDR and cache. in my experience it doesn't make a difference which I do as long as I do one or the other, or both.

As for radios, there are different settings in the build.prop I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that's set by each version of each radio (and other settings in more places?) but basically it boils down to different settings causing the phone to interact with the network differently. I never had luck with any of the recommended revolution radios so I would always stick to an inspire OTA or update radio and flash the corresponding RIL (radio interface layer, must match the radio you install).

come to think of it now, it might be the RIL that sets the build prop and other settings. now i'm just confused...
