How does this not require a connection?

The Google Music Beta software syncs music on your computer to the cloud, you'll still need to use bandwidth on your phone to get the music from the cloud to the phone. Unless you drag and drop your iTunes music folder to the phone, or use yet another piece of software to sync music from iTunes to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not sure what you mean...

1) Android phones don't use or need syncing software. You just USB mass storage and drag-n-drop files into the phone

2) if it did come with software, how would we EVER know? The phone doesn't exist in the wild yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tone503773:
yeah I use bandwidth by streaming using the Google Music app. By Connection I thought he was talking about a physical connection (USB).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
1-How do I get music on that usb mass storage device ( by computer ) right and a usb device is a physical connection correct, otherwise we would be able to sync to the cloud but that hasn't happened yet with music and movies :rolleyes:

2- some people have this phone maybe not you or I but maybe some others can let us know if there is a software for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
There won't be any syncing software, except that which already exists through your google account.

If you want music to your device you'll either have to use Google Music or copy it over by Mass Storage either manually or through some sort of software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
This is the only reason I like this phone so much is because of google sync :) love the cloud and syncing everything with my google account. can't wait
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epix4G:
U can get wifi explorer From the market to put music on phone from your computer.

My Samsung Galaxy SII requires the use of Kies and USB cable to do OS updates. My old N1 received all updates OTA.

Does anyone know if to update the OS on the Galaxy Nexus you will need to use Kies?.

Or at least it ought to, since it's pure Google OS, not Touchwiz.

Can someone inform me which modem is the best one to use for the i9000t version for telstra in Australia, as I have looked around and there are so many recommendations which has got me confused

Try googling "modem dance". This is a process which will allow you the use of all bands with any modem.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Sh@dow@lker:
Hi,

i am new to this forum and I have gone through all the threads here but I can't quite a find a solution to a problem I have, i am using a sony ericsson neo ,I am using stock ROM and I have not rooted my fone and have no intention of doing it as of now. i updated it to 2.3.4 build 4.0.2.A.0.42 last night and everything works perfectly except for swype feature

In one thread Frank had mentioned that we need to enable the swipe to write option , i checked in my fone and could not find that under text input settings. however i found "gesture Input" feature which had a similar description to the swype screenshot in the thread. i have enabled this.i had also removed the third party go sms app i was using for texts since it might conflict, but still the swype feature doesn't seem to be working,

My fone was originally imported from hongkong and I am using it in India. It shows a japanese and a chinese keyboard apart from the standard keyboard under the keyboard settings page, I have disabled the swype to switch layout feature in the chinese keyboard since it might conflict with swype.

i do not know what else to do to make swype work.

can someone help me out?

i have attached the screen shot of my text input settings and my fone status which shows the build number and everything.

i was unsure if i should start a seperate thread for this . I had added this in the Android 2.3.4 - MT15i 4.0.1.A.0.283 new Features/Bugs thread since it was the most appropriate thread i could find and did not receive any reply for over 24 hrs so I have deleted that post and started a new thread, if you want me to move it back there i can gladly do so.

Sry i'm being such a noob

and

Thanks in advance for your help,
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tleung11:
1. click and hold on input field.

2. choose international keyboard in the pop up box

3. start swype

Yes, that function is not enabled on other "English" keyboard in other language.

[General Questions and Answers] xxfleacorexx:
I had a ROM for the HTC Desire installed and I wiped it to install a new ROM. Which didnt take, I kept getting an error message in the ROM installer. I took out the battery and kept trying til it fully installed but I posed with another problem, the touch screen no longer worked ( I also had trouble with while running the Android ROM but I could get it to work most of the time.). I only like to NAND installs as I only have 2GB SD cards (2) which are full as is. I would like to install the stock ROM but it wont download for me or I would like to install a better working ROM.

Everytime I try to install a ROM I get the same error messages in the ROM installer. How can I fix this and get a working ROM (whether it be Stock or otherwise) installed on to it?

(HTC HD2 T-Mobile)

Edit: Got the original ROM on but touch screen still not working. I have found out it could be the Digitizer, is there a way to fix this without sending it to HTC because I got mine from a friend (pretty much brand new) so the phone it not registered to me, only the sim card is.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PikkonX:
I'd say T-mobile if possible, but if not just tell them something that wont make the warranty voiding actions obvious. They will probably know that this phone has yet to receive any updates though.

Really wondering whether it's Odin causing these issues or something with the recovery/phone itself. I don't think user error is the cause of these problems.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
Hello Everyone,

As you all know, the Note has an AMOLED display.

Each pixel lights itself individually, so if you have an all black screen, you use basically no power at all. If you have white, then it's on at full power.

What is annoying (so to speak) is that many apps have a default of a pure white background and black text. From a power perspective, it is much better to do white text on a black background. Yes, you can turn down the brightness, but then it's just harder to read due to less contrast.

I found one method of doing white on black web browsing with opera mobile:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/195082-high-contrast-browsing.html#post3028371

Instructions stolen from that post (for convenience):

1. Create a text file on the sd card with the following:

* { background-color: black ! important; color: white !important }

:link, :link * { color: #00ffff !important }

:visited, :visited * { color: #ff00ff !important }

2. Open Opera and type "opera:config" into the url field.

3. Click "Quick find" and type "css" to filter the options.

4. Tick the "User CSS" tick box

5. In the "Local CSS File" choose the css file you made earlier.

you may have to hit 'back' a bit to go up subdirectories.

6. Save your changes to the config screen.

For the most part, it does what it says.

Also If I load in text files into opera mobile, I can also read them as white on black. It takes a little getting used to, but I got used to it quickly. There are some glitches, sometimes some graphics don't show up right. (not sure why - it's usually banner stuff).

If anyone knows how to do with with other browsers, that would be good to know. The original post it claimed it worked with opera mini, but I can't find the 'full' about:config screen.

Using a color of 'Lime' seems to be better - not quite as intense as white on black, and should save even more power.

There's some interesting articles about what color/color combos are easy to read or not.

Yellow/Black is the most obnoxious and hard on the eyes, which is why it's used on warning signs!

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] randomstranger99:
Works perfectly!

I use more traditional link colors though:

* { background: black ! important; color: white !important }

:link, :link * { color: #4289ff !important }

:visited, :visited * { color: #969bff !important }
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
Hmm, I'll try those, thanks.

I don't know why but some web page graphics don't show up.

Like on XDA, I can't see the 'reply' button (but you can click on it if you know where it is).

I tend to cross reference it with opera mini if I suspect there's a missing graphic somewhere. Most sites work fine though.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] randomstranger99:
I tried to apply the CSS to Opera Mini, but the config doesn't appear to have the same number of options as Opera Mobile does.

Do you know if browsers other than Opera Mobile can use custom styles?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] maxh:
Thanks! Do you know of any way to easily toggle between this CSS and the default?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lj_1102:
You have to use "background-color" instead of "background" in the css because with "background:black" you're overriding all background properties like "background-image" and "background-position" etc.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
That's much better, thanks!

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] maxh:
Any way you can easily switch between them? This morning I wanted to go back to the normal color scheme and I went back, clicked default, then save, and for some reason it was unable to find the original CSS file even though it highlighted the correct path to the original just before I hit save. I had to uninstall and reinstall Opera in order to recover the original settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ChodTheWacko:
I don't think so.

I just use opera mini if I want to see default colors.

Is there really no way of getting it to work for Opera Mini? I use Opera Mini a LOT as I often have only a 2g connection xD

Thanks a lot for this!

Wanted to bump this thread - I was poking around and I found a browser called maxthon browser that has a pretty decent night mode

I think I still prefer opera with css mod but it's worth checking out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] iznee:
Thank You sooooo much for this...have been looking for this mod for so long...thanks again..now my eyes are not strained browsing for a long time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dhrv:
you can easily toggle between both color schemes (after having selected a modified Local CSS File):

opera:config -> Author Display Mode -> uncheck "User CSS" and click Save (default color scheme)

opera:config -> Author Display Mode -> check "User CSS" and click Save (white on black color scheme)

you also couldn't find the original user.css because there is none. you can create an empty user.css file and select it as the Local CSS File, this will show web pages with their default color scheme and has the same effect as disabling "User CSS" i have described above (but it's takes more clicks :p)

BIG THANKS to the original author runagate on androidforums and to ChodTheWacko and lj_1102! :)

edit: for convenience you can add opera:config to your speed dial or bookmarks so it only takes 3 seconds to toggle the CSS on/off :)

THX a lot. This was a good idea I tried it but there were som glitches in some web pages. I was playing with the settings and figured out somehow how to make it work like back then but with inverted colors. Now it works like a charm. (have to backup my settings :D)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] reanimatedlevo:
@maxh

You can also rename your css file, just add an extra letter to the end and opera will run with default settings, when you remove that extra letter opera will again run with black background...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Keboid:
Could you tell what changes you made to avoid those glitches?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] an123:
If you need to do this on a system-wide level, then go to accessibility settings and click "Negative Colors"....everything gets inverted.

Excellent inverting hack for opera browser

this long after the post, you may never see this hahaha but bless you for the color variables. This makes this hack far better in my opinion.

also, changing background: black to background-color: black fixes many of the unseen items issues. thx again guys for reminding me of this hack AND refining it better than it was .

A little thing but annoys me... When i get a notification from CNN for example the text is black and you cannot read it in the notification center... Is there a way to change the text color?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
The system has global light and dark colors. If the app writer forces a specific color, like black, it can cause problems like that. If the app writer refers back to system colors, they will automatically present in a readable format. Unfortunately, in this case, its a poorly written app reference forcing black text, and your only choice to be able yo read it is to try a theme with a light color background in the notification shade. Serendipity 8 has a white background in there, so that would make it readable.

Long story short, no, you cannot change the text color.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fone_fanatic:
I have a vague memory of experiencing this before on another device. I think the problem was due to improper APN settings. If you go to you're APN list and you select one, scrolling all the way down you'll find 'APN type' . that tells the device what to use each APN for.

Currently on my sgsii I have 2 APNs, one for internet (named ATT PHONE), the other for mms & supl (named ATT WAP). Btw supl is what is used for aGPS. Check your APN settings with what they're supposed to be, correct ones can be found on att's site, see if the fixes it. You could also reset them to default.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayrod88:
I had this same issue when running serendepity 8.1. I also suffered the notorious MMS bug and I concluded that it had something to do with the APN's. I tried everything to get it to work and nothing. I wound up going back to cognition and it works fine again.
[About XDA developers] Deviantelf:
I'm a bit confused why more than one person can't register on the site from the same household in one day. ? My boyfriend recommended the site to me and I wanted to thank people so I created an account. He then tried to create an account later and got: "Sorry, our IP has already been used today to register an account today, please try again later"

And even worse, as I was typing this, when he tried to register from his phone (without wifi) he was blocked because he has Sprint as a carrier and got a message "Sorry your IP address is blocked from registration. The reason is: Sorry, to prevent spam and abuse we do not allow registration from a Sprint wireless IP."

So now I'm really confused. With multiple people in a household, and routers everywhere with the same IP, why can't two people register on the same day???

And the best yet, I got on my phone (without WiFi) and clicked register... I got "Sorry your IP address is blocked from registration. The reason is: Sorry, to prevent spam and abuse we do not allow registration from a Verizon wireless IP." ... only I don't even have Verizon, I have AT&T (which still uses Cingular servers at least here ... I know because of my personal web hosting stats always show me on a Cingular server).

Why block people from registering from their phone??? What about people that only have access to internet on phones, or is just random carriers (and invented this is your carrier) that are blocked.

I am honestly confused by both things.
