I got that feeling too...I was confused why they rated it so high, since there seemed to be a lot of those passive-aggressive negative statements throughout the review.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
So far I would say that the review from 'the vert' is the best.

They have very nice pictures and a very good writing style. In addition he makes you very excited about the phone but is still honest enough to admit it's weaknesses. I personally really like this site and how they are doing their work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
The Engadget video is of very low quality! The background is a bad choice and is not leveled well. The GN keeps sliding down and it made me stop watching the video. Too irritating.

The quality of the The Verge video is awsome!

Agree, the verge review is the most accurate

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
Anyone heard anything about when someone might cook up a ready to use ICS Rom for the EVO?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTsol:
Only confirmed one I know of is Cyanogenmod 9 coming out in January.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
Expect at least two months. And for official HTC roms ported to our devices even longer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
I'm really surprised to find that after searching the evo dev forum that it appears that there aren't any active porting projects. I'm curious to know why that is... the evo 4g seems like a pretty speedy phone that should fairly easily support ics without a problem.

I know that Cyanogen will probably release an ICS port at some point "when it's done" but cyanogen is well known for having extremely long testing cycles before releases (even beta ones) are made and both the ics sdk and sources are now available... the tools are there, i'm just really surprised that it seems nobody is using them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328339

AFAIK, they've switched the base from the SDK dumps to source as soon as it was released.

Ports like this take months, as the source is not released with the drivers for all devices and the device drivers that are used in Gingerbread AOSP roms are not fully (if at all) compatible with the new OS version, not to mention the amount of testing that is involved to make sure everything is bug-free enough for any kind of beta release. ICS ports are in the works, just don't expect any sort of stable or mostly functional releases for a while...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JUN10R831:
Source Code just came out so time is needed to have anything stable for are Evo

Is there a way to add MAP to Samsung Stock or CyanogenMod?
[HTC Desire S] Goshik:
Hello guys, the question might sound stupid, but i failed to find an answer anywhere. After upgrade 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 (I used prerooted rom by adidas http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1183684) My system "contacts" app appeared in Russian, and my calculator app is not well resized to look well on desire s. Please advise if it is possible to extract or find anywhere these apps in original IN ENGLISH and flash them to my current ROM system.

many thanx in advance
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Hey,

well, I think that the calculator app is sized correctly. It's the way HTC designs it, first I also thought it's false but it isn't.

And for the contacts app, you may look here and extract the APK. Or better replace your rom with that from Proxuser if you want stock experience. It's a bit tweaked (kernel, other things).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pluto:
Just checked the Nexus' new page, in features, it says:

The reason why I canceled the phone out of my list was because of the memory that seemed little for me. Why do I want a huge memory? It's because of music, I don't store movies, videos and other media. But with this new cloud feature works even with no data connection. Does that mean, I don't need an SD card? If that's true I'm definitely getting it, after all the memory was the only thing stopping me, and it was only because of music. Seeing I got my Samsung Wave with a full 16GB card full of music with absolutely nothing else.

Does that save me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
From what I gather, It will still need an initial data connection whilst it caches the song from the server that you have uploaded it to, and to cache it, it will take some of your 16GB therefore there will still be a lack of storage for your needs :/

Ps, hope that made sense haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Bare in mind that the cloud music service is (currently) only officially available to folks in the US.

There will be a lot of people who don't know how to get round that.

As above though, for the 'cloud' service to work without a data connection, you must fist cache what you want to listen to on the phone, and 320kpbs MP3's aren't tiny.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Without data you still need the storage for cached songs.

BTW in case it wasnt clear No sd card + Google music announcement IS the reason for no SD card. I hope the discussion can stop now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Google Music when download are 320 Kbps resolution, that means a 10 min song will be close to 32 MB each, now do your match and see how little songs you can put in the cache in the 13 GB of space left in the 16 GB version of the GN

so, to enjoy Google Music you'll need at least the 32GB version of GN

the next best thing is to use a USB key on the go, and keep it always plugged into the GN whenever you go around listening to music off your USB stick ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
The benefit here is that you can change what you store on the fly. So really you'll never need that much space taken up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that's assuming you got WiFi connection nearby, or an owner of an Unlimited 3G/4G plan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
I don't know a way of getting round it :| ... is there one? ;)

Also do you or anyone else reading this know - if I uploaded my own MP3s does it upscale them to better quality?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
no, it stays at whatever resolution you uploaded it as, it will not be bumped to 320kbps

and you need a USA SIM card for them to allow you to stream for the free songs, if they detect a NON USA SIM card it will just give you the message that currently it's only for the USA

proxying the server, only works on the PC

and you can proxy the phone too via WiFi with an USA carrier SIM card to fool it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
That's for songs you purchased from the Android store. For songs that you uploaded to it, I'm pretty sure the cached version will just be a copy of the version you uploaded, same bitrate and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
you upload from the PC, not from your phone

the phone only caches whatever is on Google Music

so yes, you only get what you uploaded + whatever you purchased from Google Music

the thing is most audiophiles like me will keep/sync 320kbps music in storage, as anything less than 192kbps sounds really bad in the car deck

but if you want to save space, you can definitely go with 128kbps, but that's only okay with headphones from the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] downwiththebanksters:
And we see the 1% eliminating choice and slowly tightening the noose, forcing us to pay them to listen to our music from both their music store and bandwidth costs....you KNOW this was part of the negotiations with the labels to get the music service up and running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
If you are an audiophile, you will be using FLAC for archival, and V0 for mobile playback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
They state that tracks their match their music on the servers will "upload quicker"(Read: Won't need to be uploaded at all since Google Music will simply use the copy on the server), given that, i think it's safe to assume that all files(that don't match) are uploaded and then converted to MP3.

If not, then atleast all the content is likely transcoded to MP3.

Infact, my entire collection is FLAC and i just went to music google and the file streamed is indeed a 16MB MP3, and with a track length of 7:11 that more or less corresponds with a file averaging out at a bitrate of 310 kbps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1100462&topic=1100183

FLAC, aac, and ogg files are transcoded into 320kbps CBR MP3. For all other supported formats, absolutely no transcoding or matching will be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry don't mean to sound dumb here but with this whole syncing to the cloud the music takes up space on the phone memory through caching? I thought the idea was so it doesn't waste space on the phone with its limited storage. I don't know much about this google music so don't flame too much, inncoent question :) hopefully will come to the uk soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
If you have an active data connection, (and until it comes this side of the pond, fooled them into thinking you're a citizen of the US) then it won't take up any space, it'll stream.

If you select songs for offline listening, they'll be cached on your device, using up space - but easily removed and replaced with something else when you change what you specify as available offline.

That's my (limited Brit) understanding of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
yes if you open Google Music, and select the option to make available offline

it will show you the amount of space left in your INTERNAL STORAGE of the phone, so if you only have 1 GB of space left, after Games / Apps, then you can only cache 1 GB of songs at 320 Kbps, using the 10 MB song file example pointed out earlier, you'll see you can roughly only cache aprox 30 songs give or take a few in 1 GB of space

... not much as you can see
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Thanks guys that really helps! Good job Google put on all those extra data controls as this could really eat up data plans!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Basically, the way it works is you can upload 20,000 songs. On your phone, whenever you listen to music, it

streams

to the device. If you listen to a particular song, album, or artist often, it downloads the tracks to your phone so you're not paying to stream them over and over again.

If you know you're going to be out of data connection, you can explicitly

download

("cache") songs, albums, artists to your SDcard so that you can listen to them. When you're back in a data connection, you can choose to keep them downloaded, or clear them again to free up space.

In the settings, you can specifically set it to only stream on WiFi, or only download on WiFi, or both. You may want to do this if you're on a strict data cap. In this case you'd probably cache a couple albums on WiFi while at home before you leave the house to tide you over till you return again.

I've been using Google Music Beta for months and it works pretty damn seamlessly in my experiences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pluto:
Thank you guys, I appreciate it. though since it's only available in the US then it's out of reach for me.. smh

What about Spotify though, does it have the same feature, or there's a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbroon:
Not sure this will work, if I use a proxy on the PC I can browse the market but if I try to purchase anything, even the free tracks, it requests a US credit card registration.

Other than that it works and proxy is so far just needed initially to sign up for it. Once you have google music activated on your account you can upload and access your own music fine without bothering with a proxy. Took less than 5 minutes using hotspotshield to do this (inclluding the time to install it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
From what I understand, Spotify is streaming only. And you pay to use all of their music, you don't upload your own (although they pretty much have 99.5% of what you'd want to listen to anyways).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pluto:
And by making the account you can stream tracks from phone and use all features? That's awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Yep, everything in the Music app works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
minor correction there

it's to the INTERNAL STORAGE only, not the External SD card

as i was trying to do that as well, because i ran out of space in the Internal Storage and wanted it to put the cache on the SD card instead as i have a 64 GB microSD installed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
No, it caches in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
/sdcard/.. = Internal Storage

External Storage = /sdcard/external_sd/...

and if you use USB on the Go then it is

/sdcard/usbStoage/...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rusty!:
Got ya... I'm used to them being referred to as 'internal SD' & 'external SD', with 'internal storage' referencing /data :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
A car deck/inside is a unimaginably way worse sound stage than headphones directly. So, please, tell me how 320kbps with all interferences, reflections and related sound wave damping inside your car sounds better than 128kbps directly in your ear?

This is my first question here on this topic. And i am only make it becouse i cant find the answer anywhere.

I have a sgs2 with a modded rom. But i already use the cyanogen.

Both have the SIP active already but the cyanogen have the option to change user-agent.

There's any way to put this option in the other modded ROM too? Or there's any app with this option active?

Thanks in advance. :cool:

Hello,

So unfortunately i must write in to this forum because i am a newbie ;)

I work for it since 3 days and searched for solutions but now i must ask, because i tried this 15 times and it doesn't work...

This helps me a bit ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815 ), but no one have this problem...

So i want a dualboot on my hd2 with win phone 7.5 and android on one sd card (later change the boot in magldr when it works).

Okay first i load the storage lock on my hd2 to unlock the card then i put it off and take the sd card in a reader to change the partitions (like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo&feature=relmfu ). In the video it works to put on the phone after this changes, but on my hd2 i take the sd card into the phone an after the reboot comes only that the storage card changed and is damged. the only way after this is to turn off the phone and do a hardreset...

Is there a solution for my problem that i can change the partitions and take the sd card into the phone to boot win 7.5 normally?

thank you

okay a bit stupid, but what must i do at next :confused:

Do the Sd card in the card reader and put android on it (and change then the files) or is there something before like in the video? :o

thanks ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ricola7:
Hey,

just to clarify, you already sent the "DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab" and the "DEV_EXTRAPART_8G.cab" (8GB just for example) to your device?

Then you have to use the storagelock app in WP7 to unlock the card.

When unlocked take the sd card out of the device, put it in a card reader and connect to PC.

If you are undecided use this android build: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957652

This build includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)). So read the readme file that comes with it, exchange the 2 files and then copy the android folder (The whole folder!!!) to the root of your sd card!

To boot android, you have to choose it from Magldr. I think it's point 3 and is called Boot AD/SD.

If you need more help booting Android from Magldr just yell, then I have to restart my device and look it up ;D
