IMO, this commercial looks to attract US based customers. Am I wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
no, i kept looking for the verizon v on the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Goes to show you how subjective these things are. I thought that commercial was AWFUL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i thought it was awful too but it still brought a smirk to my face. i used to know people like that. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You have to agree its better than Verizon DROID commercials that show you absolutely nothing about the phone right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robboftw:
I thought that was a pretty terrible advert to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
It seems like it was targeted toward young people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
IMHO the Verizon Droid commercials and the Droid brand identity in general are some of the absolute worst marketing decisions ever made. It's like they don't even want women and older people to buy the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Agreed. I have a few of my iPhone friends ask me sometimes "I want to buy a Droid but when I look at these commercials I have no idea what the hell it does...Am I supposed to go into space with it or something?"

That whole "mysterious space age" stuff isn't exactly attractive to the mainstream market. Maybe only techies and sci-fi lovers.

On topic: I thought the commercial was a little limiting (doesn't show everything about the device), but yes, something like THAT does attract the mainstream market a little more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Agreed. They're just terrible.

That's why I like these new Nexus commercials. They actually show people using the phone for real world stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
That advert is ****.

It would be nice if they did an advert in the UK, I've never seen an advert for a Nexus handset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Out of all the Galaxy Nexus commercials I have seen thus far I think this one is probably the best and appealing to most people:

[YOUTUBE]CdD8s0jFJYo[/YOUTUBE]​
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Wow they really sped up the panorama rendering process.

It takes forever and if you exit during the render process, the image is lost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
This is false advertising.

The commercial shows 5 people, all in a Google+ hangout, and all of them are in this hangout via their Galaxy Nexus handsets.

This is impossible

. Google+ Hangouts at the moment cannot be initiated from the Android or iOS clients, and must be initiated by a PC using the web-based client.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
I was wandering about the same thing - does Google+ on the Galaxy Nexus support initiation of hangouts?

Hope that comes as an update soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Nope, it most certainly does not support initiation of hangouts...yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
i'm 21.. so im that so called young people.

and i hate this commercial..

as much as i hate rap music and any thing like it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madhat73:
awesome ad lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qnet:
Yeah, I like that one the best.

Didn't Google have this advert checked before publishing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
They didn't even have the phone checked before releasing it, why do you think they'd have an advertisement checked?! :rolleyes:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cantankerous:
Hello All,

I have a Telus Milestone on Simple Mobile. I am on 2.1, and I want to update to 2.2 or beyond(need flash, apps on sd, etc), but after searching around here, I realize I cannot do this with rom manager as I tried. I'm not exactly sure what instructions I should take, as I've seen a few guides.

A couple of questions(besides the obvious):

1. Is it possible to complete this process and retain my media(photos, sms, mms, contacts, installed apks, etc)?

2. I have this on simple mobile(which is confusing me if I should use a certain file of a different region), does this make any difference?

3. Main question: Which guide should I follow, I see 2 different rooting/updating threads, but they seem to indicate different processes, some links are down and dont want to make a mistake.

I currently have installed the motorola drivers. It'd be great if someone could simply link a guide I should follow, and a mod/rom(smoothest running 2.2 or above) to install.

Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] arjaycabling:
just follow this procedure.... but this video is for motorola droid a cdma version of milestone....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDR63MH1NYQ&feature=related

you'll just be following those procedures that is given on the video tutorial...

you may get the files for your milestone gsm version on this thread..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941346

all you need to do is to complete these files.

1.motorola drivers

2.RSD LITE latest version ( you'll need this if you can't go to openrecovery meanng to say IF you got stock openrecovery)

3. openrecovery http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/

4. google apps http://www.multiupload.com/MYPOK7TFPF

5. rom https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads

then follow the procedure shown on video tutorial...

works fine for me,

thats all

the best thing in here is... it works even if your rooted or not? :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cantankerous:
Thanks a lot I will be following tonight, and post results.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cantankerous:
Okay so I attempted the instructions above, but couldn't get into the clockworkmod recovery, and since I seen around it wouldn't work for milestone I stopped there. I'm assuming since I only had universal androot, this was not sufficient to start the processes.

Eventually I came across other instructions using RSD lite 4.6. Where I am at.

*Notes: I am on 2.1, Telus Milestone(but using Simple mobile sim).

I have the 90.78 bootloader

I flashed the vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf. I added the openrecovery 3(with update.zip in SD folder) to my SD root, along with the update file. I placed the rom+gapps under the openrecovery>updates directory.

However, I can't get into openrecovery menu. Everytime I go to apply update.zip, it says:

EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD

Is there anything I've missed(directed towards anyone)?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] arjaycabling:
yeah me too..

but first try to root your milestone..

then flash it again with vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf

try this open recovery by G.O.T team

http://groupoften.wordpress.com/g-o-t-s-openrecovery/

replace your current openrecovery and update.zip OR just cut it into a folder rename it so you can still have an option. extract all the files inside that zip. there's an instruction inside follow it. hope this might help... i know what you feel coz i've been on that situation... and if this works

first thing you will do is BACK-UP!! I repeat BACK-UP so you can still go back if you dont like the customrom you used.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cantankerous:
Appreciate the help, I used GOT open recovery as you said. Basically, I believe the error comes, if you don't enter the open recovery, exactly after you flash the sbf, ie: don't let it boot into android once you flash.

I got into the GOT open recovery, and did a back up(thank god, because...)

once I tried to install the 2.2.1 Menu, my phone was stuck/bricked on the M logo. I'm assuming this is because I did not wipe fully? Last question(hopefully), do I need to click the "wipe all/factory reset" before applying the 2.2.1 menu?

Battery Life depends on how you use the phone and installed apps.

Mine i use for less than an hour music, less than an hour game, sms message and rare phone calls. Last about 1 to 3 days.

If i play too long then its drains fast. I also noticed that it depends on the kind of game that i am playing. Some games can drain the battery a lot faster than others.

in audible they do not work at all for me. as long as this does not work, the ics roms are no good for daily use :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
BM's ROM has the decent music app which integrates flawlessly in the system. It integrates on the lock screen and in the notifications bar. As far as I know, the volume buttons worked just fine.

It might've been Koush's as well, I kinda alternated back and forth between them for testing, but surely one of them work.

So no, it's not going to be a standard feature in ICS, just a poor implementation for the time being.

[Defy General] TEXASMADE1978:
The Defy from T-Mobile is not compatiple with AT&T 3g bands. Also your texting problem is connected to your APN settings not being correct.

You are correct, sorry I meant to say that the 850 band is the only one reported working
[Defy General] sggrant323:
Several other forums report that the 850 band works on ATT 3G.
[Defy General] exorz:
a tmobile defy definitely works on att. I am on one right now.

did you check the band changer? since you're on edge you should be on the correct bands. maybe the person sold you a non tmobile defy?

also i've seen a 3g fix floating around but i'm not sure what it's for.

with my tmo defy that was unlocked i just popped in my sim and it worked. when i changed to cm7 i had to change the bands and then it worked.

It is a non t-mob defy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
I'd like to be able to wirelessly connect my 4G Touch to my PC. The machine I want to connect to is running win 7 64. Apparently, there is no 64 bit BlueTooth driver for the Epic 4G Touch, as I get a 'driver not found' error when trying to connect via BlueTooth. I have full USB connection functionality.

I have a wireless AP on my network and generally use it for my internet connection. The phone connects via Kies, but there is no ability to freely roam shares on the fly. You can add folders, but this becomes tedious.

I'm thinking that there must be a way to wirelessly connect to PC for simple two-way file transfers.

The only other method that occurs to me is VPN, but is this really practical for this instance? It is in the wireless menu. I'd have to get up to speed on VPN set up and security (I've been intending to do that anyway...), but I'm OK with that.

So, given that BlueTooth doesn't seem to be an option, what is the most efficient method of wireless phone to PC connection (and vice-versa)?

Thanks!

I know we've already had threads about this before, but seeing as how no one ever had a solution to this issue i thought i'd check back in again and see.

overview: the problem when you use a USB car charger dongle, like this one:

is that it will register as "charging USB" and will charge much much slower then if it was doing it via "charging AC".

I know that if you open one of those things up and short out the 2 data connectors that will resolve the issue... but does anyone know of any of these that are already setup & ready to go to allow the "charging AC" mode and charge our phones normally?

Can someone show me a screenshot of the "charging USB" and "charging AC" indicators? The RZD is my second HTC phone and I've read mentions of these two different states of charging, but I've never noticed any indicator that I was getting anything other than an "AC" charge. That said, the OEM HTC car chargers supposedly supply a full 1A because the D+ and D- pins are shorted. I have one on the way and when I get it in a few days, I will report on my findings. Assuming that I can tell which mode my phone is charging in when I connect it.

[HTC Rezound] icy1899:
This is an easy fix and it should work on most chargers that have this problem.

I had this problem with the Griffin PowerJolt Dual Universal Micro that I bought for my TouchPro2. To fix it all you have to do is open up the housing (make sure you don't lose any parts, some are under tension and have the tendency to fly away) and solder together the two middle solder points on the usb connector. I have attached an image of what you should look for.Just make sure you do not accidentally solder to either pin 1 or 4 as they are the +V and -V. Once you solder the middle pins together you should be able to reassemble the charger and you phone should see it as an ac charger and will be able to charge faster. Let me know if this works for you.
