You want to have ths lock tab unlocked same thing happened to me when I was trying to mount my sd card as a physical drive..

Tried that bud, no joy.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
This is a very drastic approach, but download a program called Gparted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/), this utility is the swiss army knife of formatting/partitioning etc.

Basically create a bootable USB drive, in your PC's BIOS set it to boot from USB, then use Gparted to format your memory card to fat32.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
I had the same problem with 2 32gb memory cards from eBay only 8mb showing it's faulty return for a refund
[HTC Desire S] anonymous_1997:
just checked out gparted looks like it could solve your problem its pretty badass :P
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Or maybe you can try Panasonic's SD Formatter. Use Full-Write format type.

Hey guys I am trying to change the icons on htc sense warms rom to be exact, but does anyone knows where the icons are located on the apk thanks??
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Each apk file contains icons inside of res/drawable* . Sometimes there are drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, etc. and sometimes just a main drawable directory. In addition to all icons being located inside of these drawable directories, the icon used by the Launcher is usually called "icon.png".

Official details are here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Can somebody confirm that 4.0 supports multiple wi-fi profiles? 2.3 had the issue that you could not have multiple wi-fi settings with each their own static info/IP. You are forced to changed it every time you go to a wireless network which requires static info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
What kind of wireless access point requires that you supply static IP anyway? It's almost always dynamic IP with DHCP or static IP bound to MAC address assigned with DHCP..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
A number of routers I connect to, to bind every internal IP to a certain IP number
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
You should do this with static IP reservations with MAC addresses, and not rely on clients to supply their own static IPs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
I got my answer since I have the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyguitar:
Ok first off, I love the Galaxy Nexus. However I am a very intense user and always push things to the limits :)

So I have noticed a few oddities:

1. This morning the volume went down on its down. I actually saw the volume bar appear and decrease, as if I was pushing down on the rocker. It happened twice. Both times I was hammering the phone so perhaps it's related to RAM? The first time I was moving six 400mb avi files from one folder to another using a file manager app, and listening to MP3s at the same time.

2. I heard this phone has visual voicemail, but my voicemails appear in the same way as they did before. (a text telling me to dial the vm number). Any ideas? I am on Vodafone UK contract.

3. When I bought the phone and turned it on, I entered my google account details. The phone then installed a bunch of apps I had installed on my last phone, the HTC Desire. Some of these apps I didn't want any more so I uninstalled them. This was all fine until I woke up this morning and found the phone had downloaded and reinstalled them again overnight!! What's going on here?! Will I wake up tomorrow to find them appear again?

4. The Android Market sometimes has the movies page, and sometimes doesn't. Very odd. It's up to date so I don't know what that's about. Also there's now a Vodafone section to the Market. It's a non-branded phone so I am a little surprised. There must be a network dedicated section now.

5. The BBC iPlayer is missing from the market. Why is this? I am in the UK and it's always been there before.

6. I have found it tough to find a movie player app that plays my avi and mkv files. Rockplayer doesn't want to work now. MXPlayer doesn't run at all. Mplayer is ok but the videos are not that smooth. What else is there to try??

I hope this post has given a helpful insight into the Galaxy Nexus - it would be great if an expert could please address some of these issues for me.

Thanks all

Jonny
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
I have noticed this too, odd! I thought it was because my hand was near it, but definitely haven't clicked the buttons so.. hrm!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpenurse:
I too have noticed that BBC Iplayer is missing.

Also, I went on the BBC website and tried a flash player video... not working.

Tried downloading flash and it's not compatible?

Anyone know why or if it is permanent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
I've had mine open the browser whilst it was laid on the table as I watched :confused:

I think I saw a thread saying that Diceplayer has been updated for the GN - not used it myself, but might be worth a look into. They claimed it's hw decoding avi and mkv.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewstiff:
You will find that because it is a new OS version, some apps will have to be updated to show in the market.

E.g. BBC probably labelled their iPlayer app as being compatible with Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb so until the app is updated it won't show for ICS users.

Other app makers may have just labelled the app as "works with all versions" or "works with Froyo or later" for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seakins:
I too have had an issue with the volume going down and then immediately going up again. Quite weird. Only happened twice since yday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
For your visual voicemail you need to register with Google Voice, unless Vodaphone has its own app for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
I just received a phonecall and the volume rocker I had to fight with to try and get it full volume. Phone won, call was quiet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
How about Mobo Player?

I'm so jealous on you UK guys. We will get maybe sometimes in the next 3 weeks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrTechie:
DicePlayer works perfectly and has HW acceleration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
No Google voice in the UK.

There an app called Visual Voicemail Plus that provides this service (for, I believe, a small fee).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
the missing apps are due ICS 4.0 not being compatible with those old apps

you have to wait for those old apps to be ICS 4.0 compatible for them to show up again on Market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
I had the volume issue where it kept going up and down by itself a few times today.

but since about 4pm it hasn't happened again...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Could it be that the volume issue has something to do with some preset profiles that should not be there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
i've got the volume problem too. Picked up my phone today and its done it about 5 times in the past hour or so while i've been playing with the phone. usually coincides with me sending/ receiving a text message. Really annoying problem as i dont know i have received a text most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Mhhh. thats a handful of users now with the SAV-Ghost (had to give it a name - self-adjusting volume) .

Biggest worry I have seen yet (apart from flash which will be sorted out sooner or later)....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
When the volume started changing on it's own, did the temperature suddenly drop and lights started flickering?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Thanks, I didn't know that. GV has been out for a while, you would think Google would have brought that over by now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I got the problem too, but it only seems to happen just after I unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Getting the volume problem a lot as well. It's weird cause it didn't happen yesterday at all, only started today.
[Kindle Fire General] Grims:
On Gmail & Google Voice, I can't get the "to" field to bring up contact suggestions when typing in a name. Google Voice matches contact names with the phone numbers...so it appears it has a contacts list...it just isn't using it for composing messages.
[Kindle Fire General] dnic24:
to get around the contact loading issue i set up the native email app with my gmail info and it ported over my contacts. So now when i use the gmail app it populates the "to" box
[Kindle Fire General] abremel:
Interestingly enough, the contacts app on the kindle still uses the same storage as the standard google contacts app, so if you're rooted and copy googlecontactssyncadapter.apk over from another device, you'll actually see contacts show up in the sync settings, and then be able to pull down all of your google contacts and keep them in sync with the kindle.

EDIT: worth noting - if you've already setup the native email app and imported your google contacts that way, you'll want to clear the contacts storage before doing this, or it will sync as though all the contacts currently in the kindle are new contacts, and youll end up with doubles of everything in your google account.
[Kindle Fire General] Grims:
Outstanding! That did the trick.
[Kindle Fire General] ncstdc:
got the sync to work via googlecontactssyncadapter, but it looks like it's syncing all contacts rather than just "My Contacts". any way to sync just certain groups or does that require replacing the amazon contacts app with googles.
[Kindle Fire General] abremel:
I noticed that as well, haven't found a fix as of yet - ill let ya know if I come up with anything.
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
abremel what sync settings are you referring too. Would you please be more specific.

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire General] Grims:
You have to install this.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19461785&postcount=2
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
Super that did the trick and it works perfectly. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] xdalaw:
Thanks, abremel! Nice to have my Google contacts pictures showing up in Google Voice!

Not sure if this was necessary, but I'll add it so that someone else with a similar question knows what worked for me.

After rooting, I copied the googlecontactssyncadapter.apk file I got from my EVO 4G (via Dropbox) to the System/apps folder on my KF. Didn't "install" the .apk file. And, I changed the permissions to RW/R/R, as seems to be necessary in other Google apps installs on our KFs.

Will keep checking thread to see if you figure out how to only sync "My Contacts." :)
[Kindle Fire General] bennettg:
i have the same issue. i cant install googlecontactssyncadapter.apk in /system/apps with rw/r/r

calendar works

what are we doing wrong

also kindle contacts not syncing

please help
[Kindle Fire General] kbiz01:
I'm having a related hallenge.

Am rooted (JCase method) with GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk , GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk in system/app with matching permissions along with the framework file and market, even have the maps files so Market, Calendar, Books, Reader and even Currents and other location based apps work but I can't get contacts to show up in Sync settings. All I can manage is to import contacts by (re-)setting up my gmail account in the native email app, and it doesn't bring in the physical (I.e.home,office,etc) addresses.
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Is there an easy way to clear out the contact storage?
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
What I did for the doubles: My contacts on the KF had all ready imported when I setup the mail app with my gmail account. When I moved the sync adapter and set the permissions I indeed got the duplicate contacts in both the KF and my GC. Through the web, you can access your GC and do a restore to an hour ago. This got rid of all the duplicates in Google Contacts, then when the KF synched.....Bob's your uncle the duplicates got removed from the Fire. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Could any dev try to port CLEAN and STOCK android? I really like stock Android and I think it is the best :)
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Would also like this ported!
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
I'm bored with Sense for now, I always prefered clean and stock Android (Xperia X1 Android user). Also I will help with the CyanogenMod tests! ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_1:
Dudes: stock android = CM7
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
Cyanogenmod is as stock as it goes for the moment. Once we can get more WFS S-off more devs will flock and port roms over :D
[HTC Wildfire S] No.12:
I agree with that.
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Aww. So CyanogenMod it is then... We should help dev with it, to get stuff ASAP
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
I deleted some critical files in /system directory accidentally, and it force closed / shut off.

When I tried turning it back on, it never gets past the "kindle fire" screen.

Connecting it to the computer and using adb, su command doesn't work, mount doesn't work... but it can detect the device.

So... am I screwed?
[Kindle Fire General] mfisch@mfisch.com:
Unless someone discovers, or Kindle support can give you, a way to load the software via the boot loader, you're probably bricked.

I'm not sure if the boot loader has this functionality. Has anyone successfully extracted it yet?
[Kindle Fire General] ivanemoore:
I was playing around last night replacing packages and I did something similar...where I got stuck in the same situation. What I was able to do (and was very happy/surprised it worked) was using the root process to get back in.

The one I used was the one with the script you run which does everything for you. I'm on a mac so I hacked the runmemac.sh script and add in a few lines after the /system mount point was remounted rw to push out the apk's I had swapped and make sure the permissions were set right. I kicked off the script and it proceeded to root my kindle (even though it was not necessary) and put my packages back.

It's an ugly way...I could have just ran the individual commands but I was being lazy. It also means you need the original packages you removed first in order to put them back. But it worked.

Basically find this section in the script:

echo "--- remounting /system"

./$varadb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"

and add:

./$varadb push whatever.apk /system/app/

./$varadb shell "chown root.root /system/app/whatever.apk"

./$varadb shell "chmod 644 /system/app/whatever.apk"

If push doesn't work, you can try install. I had a few trial and errors in the process but that is from my last go around which worked...twice.
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
It wouldn't mount... :/. *sigh*
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
The fire does have a recovery partition but I've not figured out how to trigger it during boot..
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
have you tried getting to it through ADB?

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

Nope..to easy I guess :) I tried ADB REBOOT RECOVERY with no success. It rebooted back to the lock screen
[Kindle Fire General] Lkish:
Download the standalone 6.1 update and adb in and put it in the updates folder. Then reboot.
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
How do I adb push files to /sdcard/kindleupdates/ directory?

After typing "adb devices" to show the device, I typed:

C:\adb> adb push update-kindle-6.1_D01E_2017120.bin /sdcard/kindlefireupdates/

To which I got:

failed to copy 'update-kindle....bin' to '/sdcard/kindlefireupdates/': Permission denied

I tried using "\":

C:\adb> adb push update-kindle-6.1_D01E_2017120.bin \sdcard\kindlefireupdates\

To which I got:

failed to copy 'update....bin' to '\sdcard\kindlefireupdates\': Read-only file system
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
Try this:

adb shell mount -w -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /mnt/sdcard

adb push update-kindle....bin /mnt/sdcard/kindleupdates
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
mount: Operation not permitted.

Doing:

adb shell su

results in "[1] Segmentation fault su"
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
Sorry, forgot about the su part.. I am guessing adb remount also does not work.

Yes, I've been able to get at this functionality! I am still working on documenting my findings in my fastboot thread. However, be forewarned, the method & instructions are not user friendly at the moment!
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
Nope. Guess this is bricked 'till bootloader is available (which, I hope, can be pushed through adb)... *sigh*
[Kindle Fire General] pyrorob:
if you have busybox installed try adb shell first, then busybox mount.. like

adb shell

# busybox mount -w -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /mnt/sdcard

for me it wouldnt do the command unless i used busybox

or you could use the other..

busybox mount -o rw,remount /mnt/sdcard

but if your getting at least the adb console then all is not lost..
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
Didn't work either... I could've sworn I installed busybox as a method of rooting... >.>

Oh well... until recovery is out, guess this is just a $200 paperweight x.x.
[Kindle Fire General] Lkish:
I did it using a Mac to download the kindle software 6.1 update then usb connected the fire and it mounts on the Mac as a drive. Then drag the file into kindleupdates folder. Reboot will then run the update automatically.
[Kindle Fire General] ubeezee:
I was having the same issues.. bootlooped/bricked after rooting, pretty sure I removed system files somehow when adding google apps. Anyway, my friend and I figured out how to recover it back to out of the box state. This is what fixed my Kindle. I just posted a thread on it here with all the steps:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356257

hope it helps!
[Kindle Fire General] Tylerbman:
Has anyone had any luck writing the files from the Kindle 6.1 Update Rom dump to the Kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire General] firedevelopers:
Hi All,

We're Kindle Fire Developers based in the UK, and although currently the device is a little slow, we really do think it's going to take off! (I'm sure a software update will sort the speed)

The size is ideal, we think the iPad is too big as a tablet, but the screen is just right for app development, surfing the net and reading books.

What does everyone else think?

Can't wait for it to be fully launched in the UK.
[Milestone 2 General] bruno.sdo:
Hi,

1º - Since I took the original version of Milestone 2 and started using these posted here, I can not use my phone as a usb modem.

This problem is happening to anyone else? Anyone know how I can fix this?

2º - When active the tethering it works for a few minutes and stop, then again only works if I restart the phone. This problem I've had since I used the original version (2.2) but is now worse. Anyone know how to solve?
[Milestone 2 General] Canton_bgi:
Have you tried an upgrade to the newer versions?

All tethering is normal for me.
[Milestone 2 General] WhatsUserName:
Have you tried to do a factotery reset and format sd card and wipe dalvik cache and battery status? This usually make all incompatibilities go away. If this don't work you can pass the retail ROM. It's kinda risky install retail ROM, but if you want try it may solve your problems. If you don't want pass the retail send your phone to the technical assistance, I think they do it in some cases.
[Milestone 2 General] bruno.sdo:
Yes i tried, but the problems continues.
[Milestone 2 General] Canton_bgi:
Bruno sorry, but you are right. After a short period for the Wifi Tethering working.

Download the ROM of the 27th of October. It did not notice any bug.
[Milestone 2 General] bruno.sdo:
Hi Canton,

Are you talking about the version cm7-20111027-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-Stable-v2 ??

I updated yesterday to version cm72-111116.2011-Milestone2-ICS-v3.0, until now tethering is working (I am already using the 2 hours). If the problem come back, I'll try this version you indicated.
[Milestone 2 General] Canton_bgi:
Yes, the same.

Well that's 16 days not worked for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I have been told by two different contacts at T-mobile (my local Tmo store and a Tmo phone rep) that the Galaxy Nexus is "coming soon", but will only be available through Best Buy stores.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
I think those rep just found out about the Nexus S...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justanothernoob:
We'll see...

I'm here >=P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sosquidtaste:
Believing in-store and phone reps with this kind of information has historically proven to only enhance our own wishful thinking. Bad idea.

So I suggest everyone take the "coming soon" part with a huge grain of salt until more concrete information is made available. If only for your own sanity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I agree but her initial response was that she did not know. She then did several searches and found the info in her T-mobile system. FWIW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
First inklings of Best Buy mentions.

Feels good man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _illmatic_:
If it was in their system listed as coming soon I think it would've leaked by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
According to bb employees they don't go into the system until the press release is out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
This was not a Best Buy employee. It was a T-mobile employee, and it was only a "notification" of coming soon to Best Buy. The phone was not actually "in their system". I fully understand that there is no concrete information about this at this time. I am just digging for information, and this is all speculation at this point, but since T-mobile has taken this route before, it is plausible that we could see the Galaxy Nexus released like the Nexus S was released. Again... speculation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sosquidtaste:
Hmm, that's an interesting twist. I remain very, very guardedly optimistic.

If we get some leaked Best Buy documentation soon, I will sacrifice many lambs in your honor :]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
its hopefully the unlocked version coming to best buy? Either way since its pentaband we should be able to use it with at&t tho it may require a unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I am also monitoring a page at Amazon which has the Galaxy Nexus (unlocked) listed but shows a status of "currently unavailable", hopefully that will change at some point.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-I9250-Galaxy-Nexus-Unlocked/dp/B005ZEF01A/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1321226981&sr=1-1

Yes , folks I am "grasping at straws", but with the lack of any information here in the US, it's about all we can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The lack of info on this phone in the US is horrendous. Nobody knows what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vyse666:
Wow, that page has been up since the 28th of October. How did I miss that?

Anyone contact Amazon to find out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
I know, I wasn't talking about the comments you received, just what I've seen elsewhere. Mainly in response to the person who said "we would have seen a leak by now".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steevo1:
I haven't, but that is a good idea. I'll contact them and see what kind of response I get. Maybe others should contact them as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
waiting for yoou to post response...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They're unlocked out of the box. And it works with AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
I called tmo yesterday to add corporate discount to my account and ended up speaking to 3 diff departments. It looks like they don't have any info on the Galaxy Nexus. This leads me to believe that they won't be carrying this phone anytime soon.

While speaking to them they told me about a sale they are having this Saturday. Found some more info here: http://www.tmonews.com/2011/11/guest-post-explaining-the-“value”-in-value-plan/.

I'll be buying the GN unlocked and will go for the $70 plan which includes 2GB data. I hope Amazon US carries it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
I would rather amazon carries it than best buy. Paying 8.25% sales tax on a $600 phone is pretty painful.
