[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Given that manufacturers are allowed to use other anti-competitive, anti-consumer tactics like price fixing (minimum advertised price) in the US market, and anti-product tying laws are basically unenforced except in the highest-profile cases, my guess is going to be there's either no law against it, or nobody is going to enforce it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jasonator:
Went in for Potter, walked out withTf.

Went in to get Harry Potter, on a whim, decided to ask if they had one.....sent to C.S. and walked out in 10 minutes with an X1.

Compared to an iPad 1, it is a bit laggy.....It pains me to admit that. Any fixes or advice? Im plain stock, no root or overclock.
[Galaxy S II General] sz1a:
Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.

When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.

To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.

This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Tried it and it's perfectly fine for me..
[Galaxy S II General] sz1a:
Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Maybe you should get a replacement.. Have you flashed or rooted your device?
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?
[Galaxy S II General] DreadPirateDan:
When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.

Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.

But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst :)
[Galaxy S II General] sz1a:
Thanks for the replies,

The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.

The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..
[Galaxy S II General] sz1a:
Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.

I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.

Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.

I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..
[Galaxy S II General] kipi_zai:
I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.
[Galaxy S II General] sz1a:
I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
I thought it was a bad choice before, but a recent Engadget article on naming schemes reKindled my disappointment.

The previous two Nexi were named Nexus x, now we have a x Nexus. Galaxy Nexus doesn't roll off the tongue like Nexus One or Nexus S.

Sticking Galaxy in the name means that I, along with many other people, will now associate the device much more with Samsung than with Google, so they're failing to build the Nexus brand.

I don't know why they didn't stick to Nexus Prime. It's one of the best product names I've ever heard. If Google put out an advert that just said 'Nexus Prime', I'd research it simply because of the awesome name.

Here in the UK, plenty of people know that the Galaxy S2 is Samsung's top-dog device. That means that some people will now assume that the Galaxy Nexus is just another of Samsung's cheaper, crappier Galaxy x phones like the Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Europa, Galaxy Mini etc.

The naming choice combined with the lack of specific information about availability makes the Galaxy Nexus one of Google's biggest marketing failures so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
This.

I mean, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I was disappointed it was associated with the Galaxy lineup too. Not sure why they wanted to do this, or why Google would allow this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samagon:
I don't see it as that big of a deal. People who are familiar with the nexus brand will understand this is a nexus device that is part of the galaxy lineup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tifford:
but that's exactly the problem with it. only "people familiar with the brand" know what it is. the name isn't helping draw more people in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] and932:
It could also work in the opposite direction. Since the Galaxy name is now well known, adding the Nexus can bring awareness to the Nexus line as well. Of course, there is always the risk of "Nexus" being associated with the cheaper like the "Ace," but being part of the Galaxy series will definitely bring about a more familiar name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
I think its pretty clear Google has allowed Verizon and Samsung to slap them around and take over there Flagship Android device. What Nexus One aimed to be...and what Galaxy Nexus is warrant for a total change in name. For they are nowhere close to standing for the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Google should name it iNexus and a looooootttt of people will buy it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Futur Innovations:
I personally like Nexus Prime a lot more. "Prime" makes sense because it is the first device with 4.0 on it. Its funny how the next-gen Asus Transformer tablet is called "Transformer Prime."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Nexus yo mama.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TabGuy:
Meh. The name will have little or nothing to do with what phone I choose. That's a cosmetic thing. And if I were worried more about cosmetics than functionality I'd choose an an Apple product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezegm:
Maybe they couldn't use Nexus Prime because to my knowledge, isn't there a tablet called Prime or something that was just announced. Maybe they got the rights to use that name before Samsung or Google did. That's just my idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Ha! That should be HTC's bid for the next Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I like Galaxy Nexus, it makes it sound like by using the phone I become the center of the galaxy. Think: nexus of the galaxy, or galactic nexus.

I hated the Nexus Prime name, and I for one am glad that's not the one they went with. To me the problem with the something like "Prime" is the same problem with the whole "Droid" image that Verizon went with: it has such a niche appeal, that it's limiting the appeal of the phone for no good reason. I am so glad that this phone has nothing to do with "Droid" or with "Prime".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th0r615:
I liked Nexus Prime better then Galaxy Nexus but in the end its just a name and doesn't matter.

I will say this though, outside of maybe the "Droid" brand, the "Galaxy" brand is the most well known line of Android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
You may have missed the point? The article over at Engadget is actually quite good: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/11/editorial-the-problem-with-bad-product-names-and-what-we-can-le/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
It's a bit of an overkill to say Google made a mistake.

I do much prefer Nexus Prime. But then, I'm male. I know the Transformers. And I think the association with "Prime" and all it's masculine images of being a Prime are bloody cool. However, apart from being damn cool, it may not get the most recognition.

Anyone that wanted a Nexus device, already knew about it and will get it even if it's called the Nexus MV88PM+. People outside the tech circles will not know what the hell it is and who made it. It has no branding on the front.

Someone alluded to Google bending over for Samsung. Well, Samsung don't have their name on the front, and only have it on the back under Google's name. After chatting with a friend that works selling phones, many people know the Galaxy branding and can often just want one of the Galaxy line-up simply because they trust the name. In the same way people trusted the Desire line-up in the UK and the Droid branding in the US.

Galaxy - Jo Public understands.

Nexus - we understand.

None of the names are offensive. Both mean something to different groups. Naming seems sensible to me. Not explosive, but very well judged. "Safe" as Engadget may have put it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XDAholic:
"marketing failure"? I can't remember more fanfare/hype for a device since the iphone. Intentional or not, the way things have panned out so far have worked! The lack of information has left the masses clamoring to get their hands on this device. I think google could of named this the nexus turd and people would still want this device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Nexus Prime was never an official name, it was a "guess" a joke by some one on the internet, then every one stuck with it

Yes, it would have been better to call the new Nexus 3 as Nexus Galaxy, than Galaxy Nexus

but what's done is done, there's no going back

so now i hope the next Nexus 4, they will make it better, and name it something decent for a change, or maybe be simple and call it Nexus 4 which will go very well with the Quad core CPUs, or maybe Nexus Quad

either name will reflect perfectly on the model

what do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
i totally agree. Now everyone wil associate this phone with the Galaxy S phones etc.

But actually it's not that big of a deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Nexus Quad makes me think of going to class :(

Maybe something like Nexus Core4...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TabGuy:
No, I read the article and understand the point. I just don't agree with their conclusions. When people ask me what kind of phone I have I never say "Thunderbolt" I always say Android. Just as people with Apple phones say iPhone.

The model name of a phone is only important to the geek world which comprises a very tiny percentage of the smart phone market. Since a phone's life can be measured in months most people simply don't care what manufacturer or model number they have or use.

I've had Motorola, HTC and Samsung products. I've have had good and bad products from the same manufacturer. I have no manufacturer loyalty or brand loyalty or product line loyalty. These are electronic gadgets that help me get my work done and make my life easier.

The Galaxy Nexus could have been called the Prime, Nexus Prime or the Pink Panther and I wouldn't care. I'll still tell people my phone is an Android.

There are almost 1 million Android phones sold every single day and I think my reaction is the way 95% of phone buyers think about smart phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sarg92:
The Galaxy name brings more brand awareness. The Galaxy S & SII are one of the most popular, well received and best selling handsets, attaching the Galaxy brand to Nexus will make the device sell better. People know that the Galaxy S II is a fantastic handset and knowing that the Galaxy Nexus is the new Galaxy handset available will draw interest.

Now in the future, depending on who makes Nexus phones, we could have a Sony Xperia Nexus or a LG Optimus Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
I still call it the Nexus Prime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I guess the absolute bottom line is whats the point in moaning about the name of a phone when its already been named.

People by their very nature love to complain about things that are totally out of their control. Gives them something to do i guess lol.

Now if the phone had been called the Nexus GirlieBoy then that WOULD have been something to have a real moan at but really.. calling it the Galaxy Nexus isn't going to make it look or perform any worse and if anyone thinks its any less able than the SGS2 then just show them the 4.65inch HD buttonless screen and let them drool ;)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
likewise. i will say, though, i still think nexus one is the coolest name for a phone ever. some of the old winmo htc codenames were cool, also. i liked htc kaiser a lot.

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I still have my Kaiser tucked away in a box somewhere. Looks like a brick, camera is totally useless unless the subject can stand perfectly still for 10 seconds and WinMo was impossible to use with fingers (hence the stylus) but I loved it soo much lol.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
i loved winmo, too! when touchflo started making its way over winmo i groaned. i kept flashing new roms that were touchflo-less then finally jumped ship with the nexus one. i'll take my os nice and nude, thank you! :D

i must say, though, my favorite winmo device was the sprint branded htc titan i had (mogul, as it were). i loved that thing to little bits.

eric b
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knut150:
I call it the Hot Mama, just get me the damn thing!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
They could call it anus prime for all I care, just get it in. the us market already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
This is a Samsung phone, not a Google phone.

It's closer to the Xoom and Nexus S 4g by Sprint than it is to the N1 or the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -CMX:
I dislike Galaxy Nexus because the term 'Google Nexus' is lost with this phone. It is Samsung all the way this time. Which might be a good thing to sell to the public, but it doesn't get true Google love out on the streets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrabraham:
Yes, I hate the name as well, its even worse when saying it aloud. Nexus followed by any other name would have been better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belmore:
I agree. I thought that they should have stuck with Nexus Prime. Or at least Nexus something. Cause like you said, there was Nexus One then Nexus S. Nexus Prime just seems to fall right in line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
i could see what your saying because i haven't been around android long enough and was confused and the marketing is all wrong for this as you point out i agree i see it as part of a samsung - google devision sort of thing, if this is just google make it google alone,too much samsung in this thing,to make things worst they make it sort of look like the sg2, i think maybe they should have had another manufacturer build it sorry about my reply typing this on my google chrome cr-48 netbook laying upside down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
There is actually a Transformer (from the cartoon Transformers) called Nexus Prime.. might be why they were not allowed to go with that product name.. would have been epic though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
This.

With a name that reads "Samsung Galaxy Nexus" it's positioned right next to the incredible successful "Samsung Galaxy" line of products in shops everywhere around the globe. In my opinion that's all that is behind the naming decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
What makes you say this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The tablet is the Asus Transformer Prime (I have the current version) but Im pretty sure they didnt name it after the cartoon haha :rolleyes:

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
No but what i meant was maby google was not allowed to use "Nexus Prime" as a retail name since that might violate ©® but "transformer" does not have to aim at the cartoon and "prime" in itself is just another word, but in combination Nexus Prime, that might be a whole different story :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
We'll know for sure if they call the next transformer the transformer matrix of leadership, or transformer unicron.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
As mentioned before the Google Nexus branding is only really known to developers and tech followers so they probably went with the Galaxy Nexus name to give it more appeal to the common user as the Samsung Galaxy series is very well known by everyone.

Whatever the speculation is and how many people are moaning about it its a done deal and nothing can be done about it now.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Philio25:
Considering that the Galaxy line isn't far off matching the iPhone (being the best selling individual smartphone device) in sales and the Nexus branding phones haven't had much impact, it's a sensible move from Google.

It's still a Google device in terms of vanilla OS, first for updates like the Nexus phones, presumably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
This is where another problem lies is when you do searches for case's and screen protectors they have it either under samsung or nexus if you don't find it under one it's under the other has that been like this with the other nexus phones ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
At last a man that sees sense haha but dont tell the Nexus true bloods they will string you up :eek:

Im still sure it will be the best phone I have ever owned no matter what its called (apart from if it was called the Nexus Girlie Boy).

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spin_spinning:
I also see an opportunity here: We now have the Galaxy Nexus, next might well be the Droid Nexus or an Optimus Nexus (plus whatever name HTC comes up with). They couldn't have an Optimus Prime obviously.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
The "Nexus" is the google part. None of them was called google anything. Nexus One, Nexus S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithRVA:
I didn't like the Nexus S name either. I think the GN should have simply been the Nexus 3.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ned_Stevens:
Hi folks, I have just joined as a friend of mines told me XDA was the place to look for help in sorting out my HTC Desire.

I will do some reading over the weekend and hopefully sort the problem out myself and not need to look like a complete tosser. There is obviously millions of members and endless amounts of topics to chose from.

A brief description of my problem : I installed the HTC Gingerbread 2.33 RUU a few months back and ran into issues with the storage, which I believe the update warned of. Anyway, that RUU updated the handset no problem, but me being me I decided I wanted to revert to a stock rom so downloaded an older version which failed to install on the phone.

I used Revolutionary method to gain S-Off and created a NAND back up without any problems then I tried to run the old RUU and hit a brick wall so to speak. I am now stuck on the TMobile UK loading screen and although I can boot into HBOOT menu I cant use recovery to gain access to the back up or anything else.

My PC is now wont find my Desire as a phone but just a Android Device.

As I say I will do some searching and hopefully find my way through the maze of information.

If I need anymore help I will give full details of ROM Version , HBOOT and exactly how I got my phone into such a sorry state.

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.

;)

There are a lot of threads I'm sure but I recently Odin dk28 and accepted ec05. I checked for ota and it never came thru so I found a site and dl the update. Simple rename and went to factory recovery and installed.

I was worried about a data wipe this way but it did not. It installed perfectly and is running great. No data loss. Took me 15 mins total.

After trying all gbread leaks and many countless roms this ota seems to be working very well on the old epic. Breathes life back into it.

Linpacks 18ish and quadrants 1700+ for me w 24 apps. Overall very very happy for a stock phone. The epic should have had this a long time ago

[Epic 4G General] Rene2.5RS:
Any chance you have the link for where to download it. Would like to do it for my girlfriends phone
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
link

I uploaded the zip I downloaded to update to 2.3.5

You need to apply this to a stock Froyo EC05 phone via stock recovery.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8DFupwiCOXyZGY2MzU4ZGUtNDlkNS00ODVhLTg3MTMtYjUyMzI1MGY4MGU1

It is in my google docs folder.

If google asks you to login; just use a different browser than IE. I have it set as public but it seems IE and google docs don't talk well.

Rename that zip to update.zip and copy it to the sd card, turn the phone off and boot into stock recovery. Then choose install from update.zip

Good luck
