[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sand0rf:
Hi,

Sorry, it took some time. I'm travelling around New Zealand so I have only limited Internet access. I've bought a replacement battery but it didn't solve the problem so it doesn't look like the battery :(:confused:

When it starts rebooting and I remove the backcover to remove the battery, the battery is not warm at all. It's more the part below the battery (behind the trackball)

regards

I just purchased Skullcandy Fix Bud Headphones which turned out to be made of iP*.

The best headphones (sound wise) I've ever own so far. The only drawback is that volume buttons don't work.

Is there a way make it work on Android?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jacobharasimo:
it should just work, however its possible that apple is doing some odd 1 off thing AGAIN. plug them in and try, if it works great if not your screwed save cutting the buds off and wiring it onto the stock headset lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] billygowhoop:
There's an application called Klipsch Control that enables the volume button usage I think.

[G Tablet General] cooki3monst3r77:
This is my first post ever even though I've visited the threads quite often for the wealth of information that is here. I would just like to say I've tried many ROMS for my EVO and my new G-Tab the past few days and Calkulin's G-Tab [ 3991 l Battery Saver script w/ Profiles ] ROM has it all. Its fast, somewhat integrated with the stock ROM, pretty, and everything works! I am truly blown away by the quality of this ROM. Ive tried just about every BL1.1 ROM thats out in the last 2 days, and this one is IT. So, like the title says, THANK YOU Calkulin for an amazing ROM.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyblue04:
It dosen't matter. Just backup with Titanium Backup and restore when it comes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
You'll want to wait for a rooted version of the OTA anyway. It'll be out hours after the source is released. Then you can just use your favorite backup app to get your stuff back.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quis89:
Do we know approximately when the ICS is set to come. Since I got the 3D I haven't really kept up with Nexus news but I'm looking to come back to the flagship.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamiltus:
Don't see why it would take Google sooooo long to release the OTA ? I mean, The community has had it built for Weeks. I guess I'm just a bit too impatient and don't really feel like rooting my phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyblue04:
I'm the same. I've rooted by all the ICS ROM's still have bugs. I'd already have a Galaxy Nexus if they did not delay and delay then have volume bugs! If they released all the drivers from day one, we'd have a million decent custom ROM's...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
the nexus s is supposed to be an android flagship phone. Its built with vanilla android so its the first and easiest phone to update, yet for weeks now people are walking around with 4.0 on their galaxy nexus and nexus s users are still left in the dark. say what you will about apple but when an update comes out all compatible devices receive the update that day. obviously im not saying every android should get this update in a timely manner, but a phone by google made for this situation certainly should
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castro08:
I have a question when they said that nexus s should receive ice cream sandwich within " weeks" after galaxy nexus release. Do you guys think the clock has started or are did they mean release in the united states?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Yeah, you may want to recall how us Nexus One users were treated with Gingerbread when the NS came out. ICS was probably developed primarily on the GN, so NS development slips on the totem pole. At least you are getting official ICS...:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
yea your right, im very happy just to be on gingerbread (anyone with an x10 or intercept will agree with me) and i wouldnt even mind waiting for the update, its mostly the lack of any information from google thats killing me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Because unlike the Community, Google has certain standards it must meet before releasing an OTA. I mean no respect towards the community but no company could ever release partially working builds.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
The Nexus S will get a ICS update LOOONNNGGGG before any other phone will and ICS was built for the Galaxy Nexus so THAT was the first and easiest to develop for. The Nexus S is next.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corvidd:
I don't really care the Nexus S gets the update before other phones, I just want it asap.

I'd gladly have every compatible phone receive ICS tomorrow as long as I got it on my NS.

And, much as I don't like it; the Apple comparisons are true. Apple do release new OS available for everyone to download on the same day their new device featuring that OS is launched.

People say that it would be ridiculous to expect updates until the GN has been out a while, but why? Google should have made the next update available on the day they announced ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
Apple also restricts new features to older phones to encourage people to upgrade. Just look at Siri as a fine example, it's *only* available on the 4s even though it's been proven that it will run fine on the 4. Similar constraints can be found with each model upgrade.

When ICS comes out for the nexus S, it will be fully functional with no neutering of any feature. so how does one "encourage" people to upgrade? you delay the update to crank in some early sales.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
all because thats true it doesnt make the other point invalid. When a new iphone comes out, all iphones (and ipod touches mind you) get the update that day.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
is the nexus one getting ICS? how about the G1?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
Point, but this is due to hardware limitations. Siri for example will run fine on older devices. also if I know the Xda, there will be a ROM available

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
of course there will be, there already are roms available now for the g1. the original iphone obviously has the same problem the g1 has, hardware limitations. When 4.0 came out the iphone 3gs was laggy and almost unusable until apple released a second update to fix the mess. But were losing sight of the point, when an OS is released by apple all phones (fine all compatible phones) get it that day. Sure it doesnt have all the features as the newest iphones, and by not all the features i mean ONE feature as in siri, but they get the update at least. What have we received since the galaxy nexus was released? And i honestly dont even care enough to keep talking about it, but when ever people hear about apple they always have to but in with "YEA BUT APPLE SUCKS CAUSE ____" which isnt the point, i was making a comparison.

like i said before all because one statement is true, it doesnt make the other statement false.

I've had FroyoPro ROM in my X8 since today. It works really good, but it has one problem: When I try to install any app that doesn't come from the Android Market (That means, from my SD card), the software freezes, crashes and reboots. I have checked the permission to install apps that doesn't come from the Market and the same apps were installed without problem in the 2.1 Stock Android Version. Can anyone help me?

...my wife also has a DHD, and would like me to root & flash better radio/rom.

however, she has myshiftwork app, and would really love it if she can keep the accumulated data of her hospital shift.

I've had a look at the sd, but it seems data for the app isnt kept anywhere there... which means its probably held somewhere in the phone.. out of reach due to unroot.. =_=

any suggestions how to solve this little conundrum of mine??

All I needed to do is achieve temp root in its current stock/unrooted state, run Titanium/mybackup and backup just that specific app & its data...

...then I can wipe the rest. Hopefully the restore would be ok... or she'll kill me... =_=

Yes, you will get flamed for being in wrong forum so be prepared.

Anyways, the Google package should allow for selective installing IF you are in fact referring to gapps? Also are you running a2sd? If not try that, there shouldn't be any reason you are out if space unless you have a TON of apps. Post a screen cap of your space.

Okay guys I wanted to make this thread so anyone can state their opinion without being insulted. This has obviously been a long fought debate and will probably stay that way, but I want you to tell which one you personally think is better.

If you think differently of someone you may quote them and correct them but do not make fun of their thoughts/or insult them.

By posting in this thread you have the assume the right to criticize or be criticized, but not to insult or be insulted.

Example of how it should be written: iOS/Android. I think its better because...

My opinion: Android: I think it is better because it has support for a wide variety of devices, it can be customized to almost any aspect, it is open sourced, and I love the way it looks and feels.

But the locked environment of iOS allows for a more stable and problem free experience. They both have their flaws but iOS is better.

I prefer Android over iOS because you, as a user, have the freedom of choice about what you want to do with your device how the GUI should look and even how your entire system is built up, with custom roms, kernels and so on.

Whenever i use an iOS device i feel like I'm sitting in a tiny cage ^^

On the other hand, iOS has some nice advantages, like the cydia, installous app download stuff...
[Off-topic] AFAinHD:
Compared to their installous we have applanet or snappz market. Either one which can be installed without hacking your phone in anyway, another advantage over iOS. And to their cydia we have XDA. :D
[Off-topic] OmegaRED^:
My biggest gripe with iOS is that it's meant to be closed source and that is the vision for that OS currently. iOS has the place for those that don't want to be to complex about it and just have something that works for them.

Android does it's best to remain as open as possible.

I must admit i knew very little about the deeper inner workings of phones until i got a droid and started modding it.

Android is for the enthusiast that wants to go berserk and customize everything.

But android is not as user unfriendly as what iOS jerks will make it out to be.

Android has proven over and over to find smarter and more friendly methods to everyday tasks.

Huge customization with apps alone on a basic user level is still so simple and issue free that anyone can handle it.

Even so:

I really like both. There's part of me that is thinking of trading my iPhone 4S for a Nexus if I like it in person, this is my first iPhone and outside the camera I'm not blown away. However, I could not trade an Android tablet full time for my iPad.

Some of it is just the classic, "it just works better" argument and all the small touches that Apple pays attention to that feel rough in Honeycomb. That could be greatly remedied by Ice Cream, and I of course still love many Android tablet features such as multi-tasking and (for a little while at least) natural flash. I'm a huge proponent of having the ability to root easier than jailbreaking, though when it is available, the latter has far more diverse functions.

At the end of the day, the reason I prefer the tablet more (this bothers me less on phone) is just the huge disparity in software. That's not something a new version of the OS can fix, it's up to developers to support Android more. I know many people say they have everything they want on an Android tablet, but to me it's still literally night and day as far as what's available. The iPad has better software than any platform I've ever used, and that makes far more difference than other specs.

So, yea. If that were to change I'd have no problem rocking an Android tablet full time. I have no weird emotional issues about companies or platforms keeping me on either one, just software investment and general "finish".

I like Android because the complexity of the user experience scales according to the user.

I can make it as complex as I like with widgets, cpu profiles, sound profiles, 3rd party lockscreen, 3rd party launcher, 3rd party dialer, etc

I can make it as simple as I like with nothing but app shortcuts on the homescreen to mimick the iPhone.

With the iPhone/iOS, the user is stuck with a simple user experience. I mean, seriously, it's just a grid of app shortcuts.

Look under your bed, find your dusty and scratched up WinMo 6.1 phone that's several years old. Plug in the charger since the battery is probably drained by now. Boot it up. Tap the Start Menu, tap Programs. There. A grid of app shortcuts. Apparently, you've got the iOS UI right there under your bed all along!

[Samsung Focus S] emjlr3:
For anyone who has the new Focus S (I am a proud new owner as of Saturday),

Have you dev unlocked the device?

I have been reading about this official Chevron Unlock, but it has an app limit, and does not allow "sideloading" of apps that access higher privelage system files. To me that sounds like you can't really do a whole lot. So I would have to take the Chevron followed by INTEROP-LOCK unlock approach, to use apps like Root Tools.

I am interested in unlocking this device to allow me to install homebrew apps and downloaded .xap files.

Anyone have any luck?

To anyone who has gone this route, what is your experience?

Thanks for the help.

Worth noting, though, that the INEROP unlock + ICS method here does allow you to use ICS without a plan.
