I am truly sorry for not being capable of forming understandable sentences. Really, I am (even though it made perfect sense to me). Let me just remind you that English it not my main language.

I simply wanted a way to be able to select MP3 files as ringtones without using apps, and without moving them to another location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
No because we've exhausted the meat of the topic and pulling your chain is much more entertaining. I am only sad that it's harder to get you to snap out on us. I disagree with the way you interpreted "or" since his use case involved a "not." :p

Seriously though, I'm with a lot of you that feel many of these features should be stock but where should we draw the line? The cheap bastard in me wants everything to be stock. Where would the incentive for developers to support the OS be? I've resolved to only want to kick Google in the ass for making a smartphone that offers less functionality out of the box than a feature phone. (The fact that android did not have native voice dialing over Bluetooth until April of 2010 was beyond ridiculous. It I still think it is crap that the stock OS does not have options for quick text like a FEATURE PHONE does.) I don't mind needing an app to change the blink rate/color of my notification light per contact because I don't know of many feature phones that do that.

Basic things that are 'core capabilities' to a device being a smart phone should not be apps. I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on this though: I feel that being able to connect\read\write and format external USB storage should be a stock functionality. I feel that we should not need an app like Stickmount (it's a great tool but if this ability were available stock, the dev of Stickmount could have focused his talents on something even better since the core stuff is covered.) I don't know enough about OSes to be able to speculate on whether or not the capability should require root access if anyone wants to shed some light on that, it would be cool, too.

Then I could give you just pickles or just onions, because all you said is that you didn't want both! :laugh:

I can misconstrue your sentence any way I want, because the English language lacks parentheses/is not formal logic.

I believe the only unambiguous way is "I want neither pickles nor onions." Plus you get a chance to use the word "nor."

It's because Google isn't going to pay to license the good camera software from people like Kodak etc.. The OEMs will pay (or develop their own) because they're getting something out of it. The only way we'll see Google have good camera software and processing is if they really make a push to sell the Nexus as a top-end product to all consumers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
I've slowly come to realise that my GNex is making a quiet popping sound from the rear speaker. Also happens across by Bluetooth headphones.

It happens when I tap the screen a second after I tap it, and then if I don't do anything else, 5 seconds after that. It can be anywhere on the screen, even the android buttons.

If I pinch to zoom, it doesn't do it.

Its very quiet, but quite annoying.

Anyone else got it/noticed it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watso4183:
Phone settings>sound>touch sounds <-disable this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellraiser_rob:
I also get this even after turning off that option
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
You can turn it off in the settings. If you still encounter it, even after doing this, there is something wrong. Go through the usual troubleshooting steps before taking the phone back to the retailer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellraiser_rob:
Strangely, it seems to happen only in certain apps, twitter for example, but browser seems fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
That popping in Twitter is a feature of Twitter whereby you pull down the twitter stream and it auto-refreshes, giving you a popping sound once it has completed.

It also does this popping sound upon entering the application, because it auto refreshes when you start it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
Perfect. I didn't believe this could be it as it made the popping sound, even with the volume off, but turn the volume up and yup, there's the correct tap sound, turn it all the way down (off) and it makes a faint pop sounds. Switch Touch sounds off and no pop, any time.

NEW ISSUE! The pop sounds happens as soon as you stop doing something which makes a sound. With Touch sounds off, turn your volume up to full until it makes the full volume set "chirp", then 3 seconds later, around the time the volume slider fades away, you'll here the pop is there.

Or at least it is on mine. Almost as if the sound card powers off a few seconds after it was was used and discharges into the speaker in doing so to cause a pop.

I also get it after turning off "touch sounds"

I removed the base with the iphone connecters and just whittled out the base to fit the radar chin and add a bit of back support and voila it fits perfectly.

Sadly the charger port is on the side and headphone jack on the top but hey wp7 is mostly in portrait mode anyways so when Im on my desk I just swipe up down for live tile notifications :D
[HTC Radar] bucjong:
Nicely done. I just might do the same to my iPod docking station that is built into my monitor. I have no need for the iPod dock anyways since I don't own any apple products. What did you use for the extra back support? Again, very good idea. Thank you for sharing.

Anybody have any tips or suggestions on how to get moisture out? I know people say rice, a hair dryer, or alcohol but i need some good advice ....This is my precious :-(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
Just as you stated.Those are the best solutions."I would avoid the alcohol"

I would use the hairdryer then put it it a bag of dry rice for several days maybe even a week.With the back,battery,sim,and sd card removed of course.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
Avoid the hair dryer.

What kind of water was it dropped into? If it was relatively clean just shake it out pull the battery and submerg it in a bowl of uncooked rice for several days with no attempts of powering it on.

If it was beer or soda or something that would leave a harmful resadue your going to.want to rinse it out with distilled water and then dry it or in rice.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] itsmefu:
I dropped my Incredible in the toilet a few days ago and put it in a container of rice for a few hours to remove the moisture, works fine now. Did you immediately remove the battery when you got it out of the water?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I had to fix three of my friend's phones when we went on a rafting trip and capsized in the river.. lol.

I took off the battery covers and removed the batteries, SIM cards, SD cards, etc. then buried the phones in a container of uncooked rice (brown rice actually works the best, I'm Asian woohoo). Then, with a CAREFUL eye, I turned on the oven at the lowest heat setting possible and stuck the container in there for maybe five minutes. After that, they were nice and dry and even now work flawlessly :) one device was the original Droid, too. And that thing was killed in the river lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MichaelAmrs:
It is not recommended that you use a hair dryer (not even on the cold mode) to dry out the phone. Using a hair dryer may force moisture further into the small components, deep inside the phone, as the air blows inward. And if it is too warm, it will likely melt them....If you want to try and suck the liquid out of the inner parts of the phone, try using a vacuum cleaner.

Be careful not to hold the vacuum too close to the phone, as a vacuum can create static electricity, which is even worse for the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
:O and works still?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
Yeah it works the sceen is just super dim even on full brightness
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dagnus:
I would recommend uncooked rice in a container. also, try cat litter in a stocking or cheese cloth placed next to your phone in a container since cat litter is meant to absorb moisture. but i would try just putting it in a bowl of rice (i stress how important it is for the rice to be uncooked) and make sure you immerse the phone in the rice. leave it over night. make sure the battery is out and ofc, that its not plugged in.

i wouldnt use a hair dryer or alcohol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deepsunn:
You could also try

desiccant packs

(silica gel packs, like what comes in a shoe box), mixed in with the rice. I dropped an iPhone 4 in a bucket of soapy tap water used for cleaning windows and used rice, desiccant packs and very minimal heat from an oven (kept the oven door partially open, on lowest setting, with phone in zip-loc bag of rice and desiccant).

The desiccant packs I used were from good ol' Wal-Mart, they are made by Winchester and I spotted them hanging behind the counter in the sporting goods department

; they are meant to be used in a 5-7 cu. ft. gun safe, so they were actually as big as the phone itself and could be "recharged" by leaving them in an oven for 5-6 hours on low heat. The "5-7 cu. ft." part excited me, as I was probably using them in a 5-6 cu. in. zip-loc bag..

After all that, the iPhone worked flawlessly, minus water stains under the screen from that nasty, soapy tap water, so maybe dunking it in distilled water is a good idea as the screens on these phones aren't fused together with the outer glass, like iPhones. Best of luck and let us know how it goes/your method!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I would agree with deepsunn.. since you didn't do anything while the water was still fresh on the phone, it's all dried up. I'd actually get some distilled water and just drop it in there, battery and all cards out. Then proceed with your drying procedure. That should get rid of any dried spots or stains on the inside of the glass and on the screen.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:
Well the past couple of days of having it in rice, the screen now has completely stopped working so i guess its time to pony up and pay my ins deductable
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jpitch2415:

Hi guys,

I have the Cachemate app and after clearing the cache, it showed my used internal memory at 115mb. I did not install any new apps, but I did app updates from the Market and now it shows my used internal at 123mb. I have also cleared the web browsing history and all text messaging threads I had going. This would also happen on my Nexus One and Hero, so I know it's not just an E4GT issue. After about 3 months of just updating apps (and not installing any new ones) my internal memory would just keep going down and down. I would go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and click on every app one by one and clear cache that way, but I could never get my internal memory to back to where it was when I first flashed a ROM and installed my apps initially. On my Hero, it got to the point where i couldn't update my apps anymore because it said i had no more space in memory to do so. Is there a reason why the internal memory keeps going down only from updating apps? Is there anything I can do to stop this, like a directory to manually clear out that is being missed by clearing the cache? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you have it moved to the sd card (USB storage) before and the update installed it on phone memory? Then just move it to USB storage again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie3203:
I move all the apps I can to the SD card. I keep some on the internal memory because i use their widgets and they won't load if the app is on the sd card. When the apps that are stored on the sd card get updated they definitely stay on the SD card but the internal memory still goes down. Same result with the apps that get updated that are stored on the internal memory of the phone. No matter which apps (SD or phone stored) get updated, the internal memory will keep going down until there's none left. I'd understand if the updates were a larger file size then the originals, but they aren't. I also just tried wiping the dalvik cache, but that didn't increase the memory either. It's just weird that I have to re-flash the same ROM every few months just so I can keep updating apps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Download Memory Booster Lite from the market and check what is using your memory in the task killer. Kill apps you are not using that are autoloading. If they keep loading back up freeze them with something like Titanium pro or bloat freezer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I went into Three shop on Oxford street today and aksed about returned defective handsets, but she didn`t know what I`m talking about. After I explained, she said they don`t use 2G for voice any more, its all 3G now, hence no returned phones with volume bug. "All 2G masts have been replaced with 3G ones, very very few 2G left".

I thought 3G was only for data? Or it can also transmit voice? Some time ago I remember they used o2 for their voice calls?

I`m currently on Vodafone and their coverage is so crap. Try getting signal(iPhone 4) indoors with thick walls or with steel constructions - good luck. Not even talking getting 3G for data. But my Three USB broadband dongle just flies, no difference indoors/outdoors whatsoever. Very impressive.

So, would this mean that if I switch to Three, my voice coverage would also be much better not just 3G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Poolmunch:
I'm with 3 uk, good coverage and signal most places. I was told that 3 doesn't use the 900Mhz band so I can only assume it uses 3g for voice as well.

I've also had the GNexus for a week and not noticed the volume bug at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
2G can be either voice or Data. You get crappy speeds compared to 3G, and the trade off is you can only have one running at the given time, meaning you can't browse the web while in a call.

3G is the next step after 2G, and allows for both voice and data(at least on a GSM carrier), and offers a lot better speeds than 2G.

To answer your last question, it really depends on the coverage you have in the area, so I cannot answer it; you just have to try it out yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tweedie:
I am on three network, I am pretty sure they using "3g" (probably why its called three?), and don't actually has any 2g network/mast anymore. In fact, when you request for a sim card from three, it says you must have a 3g type of phone.

Where you get areas that doesn't have 3g, it will fall back to 2g but will be using someone elses network to provide (last I had heard was orange network). Not sure if that is true anymore as that news I had heard is a few years old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
They used to have a deal with orange to carry 2G, and it still works in a few places, although officially they'll tell you that's all done with. Three have been aggressively rolling out their network to replace all that (which is why you can get 3g signal in fields in the middle of nowhere).
