[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
Little problem with my Galaxy Nexus, just want to know if anyone else has the same with theirs before i take it back as a faulty unit.

If i tap the back of the phone around/ above the back camera i can hear a little rattle. I first noticed this by simply putting the device on a table and heard something that sounded a little loose so looked to find out where it was from. It doesnt seem to effect anything but if no one else has this i will be returning it just incase it does become a problem in the future.

Just sounds like something inside isn't fixed properly and is tapping on something.

It doesnt happen anyother time except when i put the phone down on something hard or physically tap the back near the camera.

Anyone experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
No, thankfully my GNex is fine (I just tried it several times to make sure).

My Atrix and N1 both had that, and while I didn't notice in degradation in camera performance, when the phone vibrates it is super annoying...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I always thought it was the shutter.

If you hold the phone vertical and tap on the top back corners, you can hear it... sounds like a rattle. I think its just the shutter. Probably not a big deal.

Had this on my N1 and G2x. I've always heard this. I would assume some cases are worse then others
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Guys, this is totally normal... The camera lens is not a fixed item. It has moving parts to enable autofocus. The iPhone does it, my last HTC Desire did it... and, I even found this poll for you which shows almost 90% of phones do it in that thread. (I bet the other 10% were not tapping it)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
So I finally figured out how to root my phone. I've installed the google market and it's great to have access to that, as well as other google apps. But now I'm wondering- what's next?

What are the things I can (and should) do with a rooted Nook Tablet? Finding a way to block OTA updates is my number 1 priority, but I'm also curious about what else I can do now that I couldn't do before.

I've been browsing threads trying to find the answer, but there's so much dense info out there now that it's pretty baffling. I'm seeing a lot of words like "superuser" and "permissions" and stuff being thrown around, but I have no real idea what that stuff means.

Can anyone maybe briefly go over the essential stuff that newly rooted tablet users should be looking into? A jumping off point would be really helpful. There's just so much info out there and new rooters (such as myself) could use a entry point before jumping in the pool.

Also, I've heard that once you're rooted, you can remove usless barnes and noble stuff that slows your tablet down. Is this really recommended? The tablet seems pretty fast, but could it move faster if I took off the B&N stuff? And if so- can this be easily done?

Much obliged to anyone who may have thoughts on this.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Any time someone says " I rooted my device, now what do I do?", the best answer is to unroot it. Superuser Permissions is a tool used to bypass the safeties built into Android OS. The whole point of root is to bypass all security measures. If you don't know why you need root, then you don't need root. It's a security risk. Once you're rooted, it's easy for a malicious app to screw up your device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
+1 Totally spot on. Most people *don't* need to root. If it's confusing, don't do it! Install whatever applications you want from an SD card - the majority *will work.* You bought a media device so have fun with it! :) The ones that don't work tend to be other tools to help you manage rooted devices, heh (and keyboards, bah!). The default for most apps isn't too bad though on this device (including keyboard).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
Ever try running zergRush on a device rooted with zergRush, just to get adb running under root?

You can't, you have to su to do it. At least I can't on my nook.

Usually rooted devices are more secure imho ;-) If they were secure to begin with then they couldn't be rooted, odds are rooting plugs at least one security hole. A good rootkit will plug it's own exploit anyhow.

Of course that depends on the user not to blindly click yes whenever it asks for superuser permission, but the requirement of having rooted your device to begin which likely weeds a bit of that out....maybe...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I find this to be a rather closed minded statement. It's like telling someone they shouldn't ever try to fix their own car. This is how we LEARN things. Asking questions, taking chances. Granted there's a learning curve and granted you take risks when you root your tablet, but the fact remains that if you don't take risks, you gain nothing. And I think the "you don't know what you're doing so don't even try" attitude is pointless and slightly offensive.

The idea is to LEARN and GROW and gain insight into the inner workings of the android system. Not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of others, so we can pass that knowledge along. If the only people allowed access to that info are the people that already have it- this little circle of friends is going to die out rather quickly.

Instead of assuming people are too stupid to learn how and why to root, why not lend a helping hand to those seeking knowledge and guidance?

Just something to consider.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clamor of Souls:
Here is my procedure to install ICS.

I assume the following basic configuration: G1 (HTC Dream) with CWM-Recovery 2.5.0.7, 1.33.0013d SPL, Radio 2.22.28.25 (2.22.27.08). For different configurations, there are blue marked sections. These instructions must be performed in addition or instead.

preparation:

The following files are required:

•	the ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360598 , if you use the RA-Recovery 1.7.0, you have to either download the following ROM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20028334&postcount=193 or you must re-sign the normal ROM.

•	recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip and boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874.

•	the mtdpartmap.txt with the following content "mtd 132 2" or "mtd 145 2" for alpha 1

•	If you do not have the 1.33.0013d SPL, you will need a suitable kernel. For example, the SPL 1.33.2005 (Radio 2.22.23.02), I used the following kernel ezgb-2636-v1.5.2_S.zip http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14768272&postcount=2427.

copy all files to the SD Card.

Create backup if necessary.

1. Boot into the recovery.

2. flash recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

3. wipe cache and data

4. Reboot into the recovery

5. flash Rome, when using the RA-Recover 1.7.0, use the ROM with the new signature.

5.1 If you do not use the SPL 1.33.0013d, you have to flash the suitable kernel.

6. flash boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip

7. restarting

Hey guys! I have my GNex since yesterday and I love it oh so much :D

Just one question: Is it possible to change the stock browser's agent permanently to desktop? Because I always browse on desktop mode and hate most mobile optimized sites :/ And everytime I restart the browser I have to tick "show desktop site" again.

If not possible on stock, is there a solution with root? I'm gonna root that beauty anyway ASAP ;)

Bump.Really no one? Or is my question kinda stupid?

its not a stupid question its just not possible on the stock browser. The only option is to install another browser such as Dolphin Browser HD which works very well and can be set to desktop by default.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwboston:
In Honeycomb you type in "about:debug" in the browser address bar, which enables the Debug category in settings. From there you go to UAString and select Desktop. Does this not work in ICS?

Yes this seems to work

edit: scratch that - it's not persistent :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Doesnt work on ICS.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
I know that hack, but it didn't show me an agent to change to desktop mode on ICS. In Honeycomb it's possible to change between mobile, tablet and desktop agent by default since version 3.2 btw. But about:debug shows some other neat options too, like OpenGL rendering for example.

I think you're talking about the check-box for "Desktop version" that is already available without about:debug? That's what I talked about in the OP. It resets after every browser restart.

Ok thanks. I'm aware there are other really good browsers, but Google improved the stock browser a lot in Android 3.x and 4.x and I kinda like it a lot :) So I thought it might be possible to hack. Doesn't seem like that though :/

Do you think devs could modify the browser.apk in some way to make desktop mode persistent?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwboston:
The UAString in HC sticks across browser and device re-boots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Maybe in Honeycomb. It definitely doesn't stick in Ice Cream Sandwich. I've tried it. It doesn't stick. That's why I said it's not persistent.

Just found it. Press menu (top right corner, three dots sat on each other) when in browser and you find a check box for request as desk top site. This should be what your after man :)

Edit

After a more careful read through seems you found this option already. As for making it stick after reboot surely its not too much hard work to check one box after reboot? Permanent solution unknown
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
Yeah, I knew about this feature from the start, but as I mentioned before, it doesn't stick to it. And I don't talk about full reboot, the option doesn't even stick if the Browser was closed and needs to be restarted

Mine seems to drain "normally", at 65% after 23 hours. Not been doing a lot with it, just messing with apps (installing, rearranging). I always turn off wifi when not using it (especially if there's none around).

You might install "Power Tudor" and see what exactly is using that much power to drain yours that fast. Could be something stuck syncing (like if you have mail set to sync every 10 minutes).

Just curious, isn't "airplane mode" the same as just turning off wifi, since it has no cell radios?

I also question the time scale on the battery chart, never seems right to me. If your graph is 10 hours, and it was off at night, I would think it should register than 6-8 hours (or whatever your "night" was. Looks like it was only about an hour.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] SleepyDad:
So, just curious why most (all?) of the custom ROM's need to have the speaker toggled on/off on the first call after a reboot. Is this another one of those things like HDMI that's very difficult to fix?

I'm wondering if a workaround is possible. Such as taking the code to toggle the speaker on/off and adding it to the Call button. If it was toggled every time a call was made, but before the first ring it'd be pretty much transparent that it's doing it. A second workaround might be to check the last time the phone was rebooted (I'm assuming that date is stored somewhere) and if a call hasn't been made since then, toggle the speaker.

Then again, maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about :)
