Extremely disappointed

Hi all,

I have been following this thread very closely from day 1, and have read each and every post on every single page. I haven't contributed so far because I hadn't received the device and there was a lot of information already on the thread. My 2p worth wouldn't have made much difference.

Just so you all know, I am an avid Nexus fan, and had placed my pre-order for the GN on 10th of November via Handtec. Last night after checking Handtec's blogs, I was told that the my order has shipped from the fixed batch which they had just received yesterday (29th). Handtec mentioned that Samsung had confirmed that this new batch was devoid of the volume bug.

Today they update their blog to inform everyone that the new batch is no different than the old stock they shipped and the Volume bug 'fix' would be pushed OTA. Again, there were no dates/timescale and there was no official source to confirm this announcement.

Incidentally, I missed my delivery today becuase I was at work and no one was home to collect.

By this stage I am so extremely disappointed in Samsung/Google that I called up Handtec 5 minutes ago and told them to recall my delivery from DPD and offer me a full refund. I have been very patient so far and have simply had enough. I was awake at 3 in the morning here in London to watch the live Samsung GN and ICS event in Hong Kong on 19th Oct 2011, and this is how they treat their loyal customers? In my personal opinion, this sort of service is totally unacceptable. I live in a area where my network keeps fluctuating between 3G and Edge, and I am on Vodafone. I know this would not work out.

I will use a dumbphone in the interim and wait for this entire mess to sort itself out. I will of course still stick to this thread for the most up-to-date information. I would like to thank all of you who have devoted countless nights to inform us of the problems, and to keep everybody focussed on the problem at hand.

Cheers,

SAM

Don't get too excited, but I just got an update:

http://www.thegreenrobotblog.co.uk/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-volume-bug-fix.html

No new Android version but build version differs. I couldn't get the bug to occur so I can't test it... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Build ITL41F is the rumoured update. The kernel version has incremented as well.

Is there anyway you can grab the URL for the update? A lot of people here would be grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fpad77:
Hello fellow Elysian! Quite a co-inkydink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I've already done the update... is there any way I can find it out retrospectively for you?

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Ha, oh, hai!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
It should be in the logs, if you look back around the time you got the update. If you have access to DDMS in the Android SDK you can use that, or the CatLog application in the market to dump the log to a text file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webthingy:
Do you have a spare Vodafone sim card?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fpad77:
Curse you for living in the same town as me and getting the update first!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Interestingly, the update is only 960kb...so I think that would probably rule out any changes to the booloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
Thanks for this, I didnt realise that they had posted that the stock was the same... I'm still intrigued why I had two Samsung security seals on my box (one on top of each other) with the bottom one clearly broken... roll on the flash....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I think it's pretty clear that Handtec and Clove aren't sending out any new stock at all, they're just sending out stock that they had opened themselves when they were at the testing stages, and have had hold of the entire time.

Disclaimer: This is pure speculation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Having trouble finding it, first entry is at 17:31 but I think I did the update slightly after that... says "Vold 2.1 (the revenge) Firing up" followed by "Entered the Android system server".

These sound a bit like boot up messages :(

Any idea on the tag I should be looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
If any rooted users manage to get the update, the file will be in /cache and can be copied out to the /sdcard directory only before allowing the update to run. You would select to run later and pull the file prior to make it available both for users to download as well as examination by interested parties.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I'm unsure myself as I have not tried grabbing this info from a log before, but there should be a very blatant URL somewhere. If you can, upload the log to Pastebin or something and one of us will gladly paw through it! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dai_griff:
Just got my OTA and its downloading now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Should be attached, go nuts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jms.flynn:
B@stard, I want my update. How long is Googles usual update procedures last? A few hours and everybody's done or a few days?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I don't think it's preferential treatment, I was bored and forced a check ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Hmmm I can't seem to find a URL, maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

I did however manage to find the file name: 11bbbccb08d5.signed-yakju-ITL41F-from-ITL41D.11bbbccb.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ladrero:
At last!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rawkode:
Fantastic! Fix came OTA :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
That's in a "removespuriousfiles" section so could be a post-install clean up.

Can the next user grab the logs *before* rebooting!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
It sounds like the file simply contains a patch file for the boot.img and nothing more.

Its too small to even have a complete boot.img in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
So is the fix coming to those in a specific area first? Or is it certain batches? Or just random?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Interestingly I don't seem to have root any more since applying the update.

**EDIT - never mind, I just hadn't rebooted before. Forgot I've only done the fastboot boot, not flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
You could test nfc read/write that was confirmed as going into the next fw release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
No tags to play with... which is next on my list of toys actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
My Nexus reads my university id card without any trouble. Haven't got any writable tags though.
[HTC Sensation] kaof:
I'm trying to flash bricked 1.5r1 beta4 on ARHD 3.4.7. Wiped dalvik & cache and booted to home screen fine, but I got random boot loops within minutes.

Did this on a clean install. InsertCoin with bricked doesn't give me the same problem, same with reverting to faux123's kernel on ARHD.

I really like ARHD, and wanna test out bricked on it. What could I be missing, please help!
[HTC Sensation] kaof:
Anyone? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I have not seen this problem before.

Has anyone reported this on bricked thread?

The way around this would be to flash ARHD ROM again.

This will re-install the original kernel.

Then,why don't you try latest Faux kernel in my signature.

No problems reported with that one.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
I did and installed 1.5 bricked and issue was solved. The version after this forced me to loop. The newest beta randomly dc. But 1.5 is solid.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liwindowsnux:
today i saw a script from erenz here

i followed the steps, and i have already gotten a working rom.

files i used as base:

Luke1215's latest kernel(X10i_MIUI-1.10.28_Luke1215-2.3.7.ftf)
FXP046 from Jerpelea
MIUI 1.11.18 for N1 from miui Chinese official website(yes i'm a Chinese secondary school student)

but i found some bugs:

1.video cam not working(FXP046's BUG, but is there any solution?)
2.browser FC
3.Super Market FC(Sometimes i need it:D)

so anyone has solutions to making the rom fully-working?:confused:

BTW ,ask a noob question , how to change the default language at the first boot?
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
My Sensation was acting up and getting slow (probably because of all the apps I had installed) so I decided to do a factory reset and after rebooting the phone, I was no longer getting service/signal. Also, when I got into Settings, the Mobile Data is greyed out and cannot be toggled. Basically I have a phone right now that doesn't work and I need help. I found something saying may have something to do with the contact points on the back cover but they're all fine when I checked.

My phone right now as it is:

S-off, Android 2.3.4, Sense 3.0 = pretty much stock

If anybody knows a fix for this please help or if there is an existing thread already, a link to that would be nice.

Thank all for checking this issue and for you future any help you can give me. I'd appreciate them.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
try rebooting to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. If that doesnt work reflash your rom.
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
No luck still

I followed what you said but the problem still persists. This really sucks. I'm back to my nokia N8 for the mean time. I miss my android already. :(
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
This happened to me when I was flashing a rom. I ended up trying everything but my apn settings were always greyed out and I would get no service as well. I had to wipe all data and perform a factory reset. Then after then reflashed my rom and checked my apn settings to see if I could access them, and when I was able to, I knew I was good.

GL
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
@kpjimmy

Sad to say, I've done that as well. I tried flashing different roms and tried a different radio also but none of these fixed the problem. At this point I'm all back to stock ROM and radio and pretty much waiting for a suggestion that I haven't tried. I appreciate the help.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Make sure you are on a stock kernel as well. And if you reverted back to your stock setup, then the ril should correspond to your radio. Check the ril/radio combo and also make sure your kernel is stock as well.
[HTC Sensation] kaoticorder:
I'm having the same issue. I've reverted everything back to stock (unrooted, original CID, S-On) and gotten a new SIM card (T-Mobile). I've tried different Radios w/ matching RILs, different ROMs, adjusting APN settings, everything that I can think of, but I can't restore mobile network connectivity (cellular service & data). At this point, I'm beginning to think it is a hardware fault, but I really have nothing to back it up except for the fact that *nothing* else solves my problem. I've even used the dialer code to toggle the radio on and off, with & without ciphering. About to pull my hair out and pay for HTC to replace the mainboard. Any other suggestions are welcome.
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
I agree with you, this may well be a hardware issue. I finally gave up and went to T-Mo to arrange a handset exchange. I was sure that there has got to be somebody else with the same issue and here you are. If this is software-related though, I could say that I have tried everything I could think of, along with a few suggestions that I got but I haven't had luck with this bad boy. But yeah, it's got to be hardware-related. My reason, you know when you don't have a sim card in? When you go into settings, the "Mobile Networks" where you can adjust the APN settings is greyed out (missing sim card = hardware). Now, as for the "Mobile Network" toggle that is greyed out, that could mean antenna issues maybe since no antenna = no signal? In that case, there is nothing to toggle. I've been having almost sleepless nights with this. LOL
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Have you checked the APN settings... Not sure that it would grey out the option but should definitely be checked
[HTC Sensation] kaoticorder:
Here's something that will mess with your head. The reason I believe it's is *not* the sim-reader is because if I go into Phone Info, under Phone Identity, I can read my phone number off the sim card. I can also read contacts & messages stored on that card. So the phone *is* communicating with the SIM chip... It just won't communicate with the network. If the antenna wasn't built into the battery covery, I would be tempted to believe that the antenna was disconnected from the board internally. Then again, I get wifi, bluetooth, & GPS just fine. Who knows?
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
Yes, I have checked and APN settings and even used something from an HTC tech but it didn't work.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I had this same issue with a Sensation I got off Craigslist, the mobile data was grayed out and no matter what I do it didn't work.

End up sending to HTC and they fix it under warranty, they go my serial number so I wan't required to have a receipt when the phone was sent.

If all hope is lost, you can send it back for repairs like i did.
[HTC Sensation] mintaeroboy:
Wipe system from recovery?
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
@cmarti

Did they ever say what was wrong with it? Was it hardware or software related? I talk to HTC about repairs already and I have the details on how to proceed but like you said, that would be the last resort. I was able to arrange a handset exchange from t-mobile and I have this entire week to wait for any development on that matter. I just sucks though that we don't know what is really wrong and I'm sure there are more users out there having or have had the same issue and are still left in the dark.

@mintaeroboy

I have done what you suggested already and that didn't fix the issue. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Do u have a system backup u can restore?
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
Yes, I do. I have the stock as my very first backup and I restored using it but the problem is still there.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
weird, did u try pull & put the sim card back in? or go to a tmob store & have them replace the sim card...
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Did you try downloading the RUU and flashing the complete stock ROM that way? Download the 1.45 RUU for TMOUS (from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13698101&postcount=1) and run the program. It restores everything to right out of the factory, but it's different than restoring a backup or doing a factory reset. This re-partitions everything and resets the bootloader security. Don't worry, the s-off tool from revolution still works if you flash the RUU. I know because I did it myself :-)

Hope this works for you. It's a better option to try before you send it off to HTC.

Let me know what happens.
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
Yes I did. I don't think it is the sim card though because I put mine back to my nokia n8 and it worked. I also borrowed my niece's and put it in the Sensation but could not get a signal, just like how it is with mine. For these reasons, I ruled out the sim card being the suspect.
[HTC Sensation] ronald.aton:
Yes Jimmah, I did that last night using the exact RUU you suggested and no luck of a resolution still. Kernel, radio, rom, ril, etc are all just like new from factory and still scratching my head, in fact for a few days now. hahaha

Hi Guys,

I Have been using my galaxy nexus for about a day now, and I have to say that i find the auto rotate annoyingly slow. Sometimes not at all, really frustrating, some apps are smother than other but generally not great especially compared to my SGS2.

Anybody else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
This is likely to reduce accidental auto-rotations that have been a problem with some phones I've owned, like HTC Desire.

I wish it was a setting that user can change though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l1233799:
I agree its annoying. I turned mine off but is there a way to turn it manual when you want it? Like a gesture or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
I've noticed that in the videos. The Xoom does the same way but, ICS looks smoother. Like kristovaher mentioned, it may be by design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
It's just one of these things that you can't change in the stock version of Android, I am sure that in a CyanogenMod there will be options to adjust that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Its not lag as such. Its implemented into Android as a timer so it doesn't rotate accidentally. Agreed it could be a little quicker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
yeah the auto-rotate is not as fast as it was on the Nexus S running Gingerbread.

I guess I'll just get used to it. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Have you tried using spare parts to change the transition speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
that could work, although I'm guessing it's more to do with a threshold that has been applied to the actual physical rotation of the device, rather than any delay with the effect of the screen rotating.

Would be interested if anyone tries this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Setting the transition speed unfortunately doesn't work. You don't need spare parts for it. The development section in the general Android settings has also an option to play with this parameter

Edit: btw I'm pretty sure that it can be changed by playing with the files in the /sys (not /system) directory. A lot of low level things can be changed there like backlight settings etc. My bet is that the file you wanna edit is somewhere in the /sys/class directory. Unfortunately I didn't root my device yet, so I didn't play with it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkitab:
What about turning animations off???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
So far I like it slower. I was often annoyed by accidental reorientation due to normal movement on my Nexus S. This helps make sure the change in orientation is intentional and deliberate. I like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
is there a way to fix it ??

i find it too slow :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Install the MoDaCo rom, that has the tweaked the rotate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwboston:
The slow auto-rotation must be a feature of ICS. HC works the same way on the Xoom. My wife's iPad will auto-rotate at the least little movement. I prefer the HC/ICS way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
This is one of the few things that annoys me with this phone. It seems to be worse in certain apps, too. It's bad in gallery, and really bad in a gallery replacement app I use called Quickpic.
