[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The "AT&T" one, which at the moment is the same as the "world" version will NOT work on VZW.

As of now there are 2 models of the Galaxy Nexus: 1) CDMA/LTE (for Verizon in the USA) and 2) GSM/HSPA+ (for the rest of the world, yes including AT&T and T-mo in the USA).

As of now, there are no GSM/LTE versions (I'm assuming this is what you're looking for on AT&T). If you use the GN on AT&T, it will have HSPA+, but not LTE. And no, the VZW version will not be able to be unlocked and used with an AT&T LTE SIM card, because AT&T is only operating data on LTE, and you'd get no voice/text (assuming you somehow got the device unlocked to accept the SIM in the first place).

Unless Samsung/Google have some kinda curveball lined up to announce a 3rd model with GSM/LTE for AT&T, that will come in the future. As of now we're not aware of this model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
You are correct in saying the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will not work with an AT&T SIM. However, the reason you provided is incorrect. Currently, both AT&T and Verizon operate data only LTE networks. Neither provide LTE voice (Voice Over LTE aka VoLTE) but both plan to (Verizon in 2012 and AT&T in 2013). Whether or not the Galaxy Nexus can take advantage of VoLTE is another open question but it will be able to use CDMA voice either way.

The real reason your Galaxy Nexus will not work on the AT&T network is the LTE frequency bands are different as well as the obvious 2G and 3G CDMA/GSM incompatibilities. A Verizon Galaxy Nexus with the an AT&T SIM (assuming you can unlock the device) will never be able to find the AT&T network. Hopefully, future devices will offer software programmable radios that can be unlocked to interoperate on multiple bands. There are plans for some 43 LTE bands worldwide!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Uss_Defiant:
So I'm guessing that by the same token in Canada, if your with bell, getting the LTE version is pointless?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thanks for a little more information, but I said just as much. Even if you somehow got it unlocked to accept a different LTE SIM card (don't think it'd ever happen), there are several reasons why the phone wouldn't work. Even if they did have the same LTE frequencies exactly (or you hacked it on), he wouldn't get any GSM functionality out of the VZW device.

Basically what I was trying to express is that the other things could theoretically be overcome with software/firmware hacks (VZW and ATT will operate in the same spectrum, just slightly different frequencies), whereas you can't ever overcome the fact that the CDMA does you no good on the AT&T network.

Overall I think the point has been made regardless...

Based on the posts I've read, is there really no official stable version of Gingerbread released for the Epic 4G, and are all the GB ROMs buggy?

And I thought that we would be working towards ICS for the Epic 4G...

I'm new at this, but I thought that Android being open-source means that it would be easier to hack and modify and less reliant on the carriers to release new OS updates. Have I gotten it wrong?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtex06:
Android is by far the best medium for end users. But the major hold up is that the source code has been held out by samsung. There was a leak of the source code recently. The rom to look for is Cyanogen. These guys build it from the ground up with no source code. If you really want to try a gingerbread leak . This is a good one. He also has a 2.2 android that is complete no bugs. here is the link to gingerbread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190337

And the link to his 2.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146630

At the moment I am using the beta cyanogen very close to completion. It is 2.3.7 and it runs smooth and fast. There are a few minor bugs like no 4g. The 4g was not a big deal for me as it only covered a small area for me.

Can tell you are new. Gingerbread is still only a leak. However kernel source was released for 2 days. If you look in Development and read the OPs on the ROMs find one based on the released source like the one with Heimdall in the title. They are stable with no reboots.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb360:
Yes... You've got it wrong. Hacking can only get you so far... Major version updates require source from the manufacturers.

If you want timely updates switch to iOS. With Android it's not *when* you're getting updates but *if* you're getting updates.

I'm currently running ACS' ICS beta rom. The ICS is just a launcher but its nifty. If you want a pretty stable eh17 rom w/o the ICS I used titanium to uninstall the launcher (and the other 2 launchers [beats me]) and used launcher pro plus. Makes for a stable gingy rom. I've also flashed the eh17 honeycomb explosion theme. Looks great and run awesome.

Supposedly nubernal fixes reboots... ill see as soon as I find time to flash

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffman1984:
There's always going to be bugs... Especially when devs start modifying what was most times just crap to begin with.

I strive to put out a stable ROM, but when you want to update something, something else may not always act as it did.

I'm in the midst of getting a second test version out of my ROM... Come back tonight and check it out. If you're into something semi-stock, then you'll like what i have to offer. =)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkasick:
For the most part, "Android is open source" only applies to device manufacturers, and owners of Google-branded Nexus devices. The latter of which have (nearly) all platform source code available in Git repositories, including instructions for building a source-based ROM for them.

Third-party manufacturers do not release the majority of Android platform code for their devices. Some of this, like custom UI code, is not particularly relevant to us. But other of this, including proprietary kernel modules and userspace drivers for peripherals, is very much relevant. Not having the source to this makes getting full functionality out of source-based ROMs rather difficult. It doesn't help that Samsung's devices are "uniquely different" from HTC and others which makes porting source-based ROMs to them painful to begin with.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroAsc:
Ok... so in other words, to have a stable usable and relatively bug-free release of Android OS, we will need the carriers to release some official version for it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkasick:
Not necessarily. However it is often easier to support a new version of Android if the manufactuer provides an update to it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
No. I've been running GB forever now. Most of the issues were temp slip ups with roms or themes. The only pervasive one in all the leaked based roms is the reboots, which frankly I never found to be as big of a deal as many made it out to be. Our best guess is that it is sleep related, so in other words, it only happens when your phone is sitting untouched.

I had them quite a bit, but really not a big deal.

Install ACS ICS v6, and the nubernel kernel, and the reboots aren't an issue either.

At this point I couldn't care less if the official ever drops. (Not that I think it wont, it's just, also, IMHO, not nearly as large of a concern as some are making it.) To the extent I DO care, it's only because it will probably consolidate the efforts of the devs. Lots of work still being done on Froyo roms, and there's probably some hesitation on getting involved in any particular leak, because you never know when another leak will drop and make everything you're doing outdated.

Edit: This is anecdotal, but most of the "problems" people report are from people who seem to give gingerbread a shot for about 5 seconds. I'm willing to bet most of them restore data, or a titanium backup, from their froyo rom, then attribute any problems to gingerbread being buggy. It's not. It's fine. If anything a lot of the real not-just-whining outrage is over how GOOD it is. (AKA, the leaks are so solid, what's the hold up exactly)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eimunic:
Hello,

My SGS2 is running on Android 2.3.4 using the KI1/KI1/KI1 firmware.

Unfortunately USB Host Mode doesn't seem to work. From what I have read, I

need KH3 in order to have Usb Host support for my self-written applications.

Now the questions:

- Are there several firmwares which support USB Host Mode? If so, which should I install?

- Do I lose my warranty if I flash a different firmware?

I have seen this thread but I am not quite sure which firmware to install.

Moreover, please note that USB Host mode works fine if I just want to connect an USB Stick but this application crashes in the same way as mine.

The debugger tells me that the desired USB-method (e.g. getDeviceList) was not found.

Thanks for your help.

Does no one know the answers?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eimunic:

Hi All.

I recently unlocked my Xoom and started using the Tiamat 2.2.2 ROM. I have moved back to the Telstra stock ROM because of the MZ601 Market issue (issue 21, can't post a link because I'm a newb).

I just realised that the stock Telstra ROM is 3.0.1 (Mizuu/Dice playback issues made me realise!). My Xoom is still unlocked, with CWM. I tried the OTA but as expected it got stuck in the boot loop with the exclamation error, so I cleared the cache/dalvik.

How do you go about updating to stock 3.1 in this scenario?

I installed clockwork, wiped all the partitions and tried to flash CM 7.1, it installs with no errors but I'm stuck on the HTC screen after boot. I tried going back to Clockwork and re-flashing the rom but get the same result.

is CM 7.1 not compatible with my specific model? is there anything I can do to trackdown whats causing it to freeze.

according to Relay, the method of using HTC unlocking your bootloader you can flash recovery, and ROMs, but you are still S-On and can't flash radios.

-on a side note, I accidental hit the thanks button on post #5.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kay.one:
is that the reason 3rd party roms don't work, because my radio wasn't flashed as part of installing the rom and current radio isn't compatible with them?

Is there any ROM that works well with Xoom 4G? Every ROM I look says not to fash on a 4G Xoom.
[Xoom General] demecles:
Simple answer no.

Longer answer is that no dev is going to waste the time getting one up and running just to have ICS drop a few weeks later.

So I'd just sit tight and wait for the Ice Cream goodness to roll in.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
What demecles said, no dev is going to waste there time doing a ROM that will support the 4G XOOM when ICS is right around the corner. There's a few kernels out there that will work with the 4G XOOMs but I'm not even going to bother with that, as long as I have root access, I'm all good and waiting on ICS to come out.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Did you flash CWM via NV Flash. If not, do that. Then boot into recovery by holding down the power + volume down keys until you get the second boot logo. Then wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache. That is usually why a phone refuses to boot.

Also, if your phone turns on it is not bricked. Bricked means when you press the power button nothing happens at all. You can be soft-bricked like you are, but it can be easily fixed. Nothing to panic about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iSpooNz:

Then when i try to go into CWR it shows the LG with a blue and black loading bar below then shows as if its loading something then it just goes back to the blue LG screen and im stuck there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You have stock recovery on the recovery partition, not CWM. You MUST flash CWM onto the physical recovery partition using NVFlash with the One Click flasher. You used Rom Manager and that doesn't install CWM onto the recovery partition. Once you have CWM properly installed you can enter recovery and revive your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iSpooNz:
Ok so from CWM do i wipe everything?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
@OP, this is is correct. Use tga gunmann's nvflash tool from the development section. The process is super easy. Just make sure to follow his instructions closely. Just fyi, most people get errors during the nvflash process because they don't install the apx drivers appropriately, so take your time and read the instructions carefully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Start off by wiping cache and then go to Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If you still can't boot after that then try a full factory reset.

Just remember the first boot after wiping dalvik cache can take several minutes as android rebuilds the dalvik cache. All subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iSpooNz:
Ok so i ended up having to do a factory reset yet im still getting the same results. Im still stuck on the 2nd lg screen when booting up
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Did you do as phburks said and go into advanced and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Most issues of not booting are related to the Dalvik Cache not being wiped after flashing a new rom. That is essential to getting your phone to boot again. A factory reset DOES NOT clear the Dalvik Cache.
