Hey everybody, just ordered a Reiko leather hipcase from Amazon, will be getting it Wednesday. I will be letting everyone know how the fit is too. Been searching for a good size hipcase that doesn't look cheap so hopefully this fits the bill.

Here's the link too in case anybody else is interested:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XKVMA6/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It says it's for the Droid X but I used phone arena's size it charts to compare our Galaxy Nexus to it and looks pretty close. Here's that site too in case anyone is interested:

cool. Keep us updated. Thinking of getting a case for outside the pocket this time around. Not sure though.
[HTC Sensation] BickyXD:
is sensation's rom compatible with sensation xe . if it is not , where can i find sensation xe 's android development forum?
[HTC Sensation] tehshouter:
Yes they are compatable.

Hi,

Sensation ROMS are perfectly compatible with XE.

Just flash and be happy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Khixar27:
Hey Guys iam a newbie

can u tell me about problems of flashing roms everyday like its drawbacks to the memory battery Any hardware etc ???

thanks guys
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Well from a battery stand-point, every time you flash a ROM, you more then likely will need to re-calibrate the battery so the OS can re-learn what's really going on. To be honest, I spent the first 2 months flashing a new ROM every day and didn't see any drawbacks. Obviously every time you flash a new ROM you run the risk of flashing a bad download/boot looping and/or bricking the phone or if you're restoring data, restoring files that can jam you up. I haven't seen/heard of anyone having problems with hardware just because of flashing ROMs frequently. If that were the case, I'm sure there would be more warnings from the Devs if such a problem was frequent and expected. Curious though, do you suspect something is wrong with your hardware because of flashing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
The process of flashing itself has absolutely not negative impact on your hardware, only the choice of content. As long as you install things that are known to work you can flash all day if you want.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Technically, eMMC flash ROM has a finite number of write cycles, but for practical purposes, you are correct.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Khixar27:
i have no hardware problem

everytime i flashed i formatted so like formatting a hard drives alot of times decreases its life and perfomance so this made me curious ....

btw how does flashing a rom incorrectly causes a brick ??
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
A bad Rom flash can cause a soft brick either by not wiping correctly or if there are corrupted files in Rom. This is easy to fix as long as you can enter hboot. If your hboot becomes corrupted and your phone won't even boot then you have a hard brick and it may not be fixable. It's a lot harder to create a hard brick but it is possible. Just don't ever mess around with stuff that you do not understand.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Not really sure why there is a distinction between a soft brick and a hard brick. I use to think so but really, a "bricked" device is as useful as a brick (not going to insult you because you clearly know that Gizmoe) but just saying there really shouldn't be a distinction between hard and soft bricks. If you can get into HBoot, your device is far from being termed a brick. A bricked device is a bricked device, no matter the prefix which is why I never really liked the terms soft and hard bricks since in my opinion it misinterprets what "brick" really means.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I actually agree with you. A brick should mean a brick and a bad install should just be viewed as a fixable error. Not sure why there are two terms for a brick, as a soft brick is no where near what a brick actually means. I guess we have all just accepted the term soft brick by its rampant use in these forums.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
haha, agreed. I have a bricked phone on my desk. It's a rather nice paper weight so I guess it's not totally useless like a brick :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid 3] sr20s13:
so since i can't post in devolpment forum yet, do i need to install some kind of bootstrap or safestrap to install it?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
You do with any ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Don Vincenzo:
I don't know if anyone else has come across this, but it seems that I can't get Tasker to actually stay running in the background - it loads up and allows me to create profiles etc, and after clicking the green tick to apply, the Tasker notification appears (to allow it to stay running), but after a few seconds it disappears. I've tried this both with profiles in the app, and after a clean reinstall of the app with nothing setup, and have the same experience.

I'm going to email a bug report to the developer, but just wanted to see if anyone else had also had this issue, to try and figure out what the cause is.

ROM: MCR Ir4

Tasker Version: 1.1.1u2m
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I haven't installed Tasker on my Gnex, but it worked fine on my Nexus S with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Don Vincenzo:
Interesting - I had assumed it was an OS incompatibility, but maybe it's something else...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
Tasker works for me on G Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rijin:
Same here....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Don Vincenzo:
Could you tell me - are you both running stock ICS, or a custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
Stock Galaxy Nexus CDMA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CodeMonkey:
There's a number of threads on the Google support group for Tasker re ICS issues, including notification icon disappearing. Pent's waiting on ICS for his Nexus S to look into it further.

I'm due to receive my GN tomorrow and am a *very* heavy Tasker user so will be interested to see whether I hit any issues..

Either way I have faith that Pent will sort it; he's never let us down before :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
the icon disappears sometimes for me but when a profile kicks in the icon comes back, so I think it does actually run. For me anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Running fine for me, stock ICS, light usage (very new)

As for alsex87 I only have an icon when a profile is doing something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoicesX:
Tasker work perfect in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
Works fine on my GN too. Agree with other comments that it comes back when profiles change. So I'm pretty sure it's still running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CodeMonkey:
Well it's looking good so far for my setup; had to tweak tasks setting volume levels as I moved from an Atrix but everything else seems intact (including deactivating the lock screen when in 'sleep' mode). Will know for sure by the weekend.

Re: the notification icon, I have run in foreground unchecked and no icon showing. Doesn't seem to have had a negative effect so far..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mirilo:
It doesn't work for me. Same thing. Allows me to create a profile, but then keeps crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2wyce:
Won't run at all for me, I was assuming it was an ICS compatibility issue. I kept waiting for an update but when I never got one, I figured I would google it. Well, I found here that it's working for most people, so I don't know what it is that's wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gotbeer:
I am a heavy Tasker user too. Just got my profiles installed. The "home" profile (wifi near) activates, then both the Tasker icon and my "home" icon disappear.

As a side question is there an easy way to copy the backup files from an old phones sd card to the Nexus? The SD card folder doesnt show up when I plug into my computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takaides:
I've seen some people leaving it in MTP mode, but I have the best luck transferring files in PTP mode. When you plug it in to a computer, select the various modes by clicking on the USB symbol in the notification tray. Just don't switch it up while moving data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
This isn't immediately pertinent, but Locale (which I'd consider the predecessor to Tasker) seems to work fine. The only problem I have is that I can't split notification volume from ring volume (I silence emails at night but leave ringer on), but that's not Locale's fault as ICS itself doesn't seem to offer the option. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CodeMonkey:
Pent now has ICS - expect reported / found issues to be resolved with the upcoming v1.2 release of Tasker per http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/browse_thread/thread/e3a1ec4dd8e30a0a
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lochstar:
Tasker crashes for me when I try to launch it. Running a Sensation with Android 4.0.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Try Llama. Even if you donate, it's a cheaper app than Tasker. Very reliable and easy to use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] manningfan10:
Mine has been getting rlly hot in my pocket lately and draining battery extremely quick like from 100-50 in an hr. Anyone else with this problem or a fix? Tia
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Try doing a factory reset, don't install any application on it and test it for a day or two.

This problem may happen because an application uses your CPU at 100%.

If the problem persists, call Moto.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
Mine only gets warm/hot with the 4G enabled. I've gone three days on 3g and it is never noticeably warm. Only got the phone last Friday but right off the bat I noticed it got very warm using 4G
[Motorola Droid RAZR] manningfan10:
I would really hate to do a reset w/out having a nandroid as i am waiting to root till there is a .sbf and i also never have 4g enabled
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rickinsav:
Check your task manager. Happened to me once I recall and it was and app stuck at >50%.

I also notice the screen got warm with use. Not hot, but noticeable. But now I don't notice it (haha)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
Sounds like you have an app which runs a lot in the background. Check your battery settings to see what is doing this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
As much as I love my Epic Touch 4G, I won't miss Sprint's crappy data speeds one bit. I've never gotten even to 1mbit download speeds in any state I've travelled to. I work in Los Angeles (Downtown, Culver City, Marina Del Rey, Pacific Palisades, Century City, Brentwood, Westwood, Malibu, Gardena...) and I've never got one full mbit of download speeds any place I've travelled to in California, Connecticut, Texas, Nevada... So I don't think it is just once city that I'm paying for bad service but every place I need service.

I'm looking forward to breaking my contract with Sprint by forcing a Verizon PRL on my phone. I won't feel in the least bit guilty as in my opinion Sprint is throttling my data speeds every place I go and they claim they are delivering 4G but my phone can't ever stay connected with 4G. When it does actually stay connected to 4G for a couple of minutes I've never gotten more than 600k. I've tested other ET4Gs - all get the same speed where I need them to get good speed.

This video got me stoked (not because I want to replace my phone, just my crappy provider).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySymqERaHEA&feature=player_embedded#t=21s

I've never even downloaded 1 GB in a month of data so a 2GB plan with unlimited minutes will give me more minutes and much faster download speeds for the same price as I've given Sprint for so many years.

The Galaxy Nexus is a nice phone from what I can tell but it isn't the phone that makes me want to switch carriers, it is just Sprint that is driving me away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] teknikk7:
Your so cool.

You know about PRL and how to do fancy stuff to your phone....wow

I wish I was like you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
Actually I wouldn't know how to force the PRL but for the HELPFUL people on this forum who post tips on things like this.

So again, I'd like to thank the people on this forum who help me get the most out of my phone!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dkotoric:

I have forced roaming on the phone and have been roaming since Friday all day long, but I just found out today about prl 1115 and roaming on 3g Verizon. will definitely have to do that tonight and hopefully I will be able to leave this terrible company in no time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
NICE!!! If I could even get 1/4th of that speed where I use my phone, I wouldn't bother to switch.

I've wanted to try this too, as im sick of their horrible service, but how long does it take for them to notice and cancel your contract?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-evolve:
When they cancel your service with you have to pay the cancellation fee since THEY booted you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
No that is why I'd switch my PRL so they cancel my contract. Otherwise I'd just cancel my contract outright if the ETF was the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-evolve:
Lets be honest though, data isn't really up to par with T-Mobile or Verizon maybe. But they offer unlimited data and thats the only reason I'm still on it. 5gb cap from T-Mobile was not enough for me. Also don't we get charged for roaming?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I certainly understand people sticking with Sprint if they get good service.

In my area it is barely usable and I'd rather be offered a 50 gallon drum of water for a month than get all the water I can carry home as long as I only take it home one teaspoonful at a time. I average about .35mbit download speeds in all the areas I visit (some a little higher, some a little lower) and I've yet to lock onto strong 4G signal. One of the few times I locked was at LAX where I got about .8mbit download. I'll torrent on my cable where I get about 30mbit down so I don't exactly need that much data on my phone.

No charge for roaming on my contract. And I only average about 500-1000 megs per month so Verizon's 2Gbyte plan will leave me with PLENTY of headroom (I realize they have larger plans but 2 will be save me money and give me plenty of headroom).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Awsome another "Im leaving sprint" announcement thread. How many of these have I seen already? You forgot to say at the end how android sucks and your getting an iPhone.

T-mobile has the sgs2, I'd grab that one or the sensation XL.

Im debating doing the same thing, but I'll end up paying more for less incentives in the end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
if you were more of a data monger i would suggest you to wait it out for sprint to upgrade all its towers and switch to LTE because i believe we can be grandfathered into unlimited data. fortunately i recently got a tower upgrade in my area. i honestly used to get score btwn ~23kb to 200kb, but now im getting ~1mb down which is insane (lol) and all i ever need to perform the daily routine

check this out. you can search the cities you are in and see if they have any plans to upgrade towers near you

https://network.sprint.com/search/los+angelos,+Ca/

also, have you tried contacting Sprint about this? being a long-term customer they usually bend to your will if you call and complain to a manager, just threaten to cancel. they might let you off your contract hassle-free or at least give you some cash money towards ur bills until you drop them or something. i would give it a shot being that youre determined to leave anyway

hope this helps! and best of luck with whatever you decide to do :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
Thanks. Sprint has been telling me for years that either they are upgrading towers in my area so that is why it is slow, they are having a problem with a tower in my area so that is why it is slow or just wait a month or so as they will be upgrading towers in my area. "I ain't fallin for no banana in my tailpipe again".

I agree, I will ask to leave nicely but I doubt Sprint will let me off just because they have crappy data service.

It is my fault for sticking with Sprint for so long, I have no one to blame but myself. I'll miss this phone as it is a great phone but in the 20 cities I've tried it in (switched it once so far) none of them gave me good speed. I had the 3D before this and while it got slightly better speed it still sucked compared to what other carriers are delivering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akaiNe-iSolutions:
there is absolutely no reason i got better service 3 yrs ago with my iphone 3g, 2 years ago with my nexus one, and this past year with my fascinate and nexus S on cricket, than this crap ass slow sprint 3g internet. I get over 8 mbs close to here on 4g, but not at home, nor anywhere in my hood. so i'm bout to roam the **** out of them and dip ... i cant stand slow 3g, this was the reason i got a nexus one in the first place, tired of slow edge speeds with iphone on tmobile... i might as well have a iphone on sprint since they get all the 3g bandwidth i hear... terrible terrible shame, because i absolutely love the device and a galaxy nexus with CRAP OMAP is not appealing, i'm basically just going to flash it to boost or cricket if they can't do any better with the 3g. its retarded slow ... like 69 kb on sprint tower, 300-500 on vzw

EDIT: and on cricket I was getting 800 down consistently 1mb some other places and this was including at home. So why does cricket have better towers in this area? who cares... they do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I did this recently with us cellular. I didn't change prls but I moved out of their service area. I got a threatening letter that I violated my contract and when I cancelled I was told I had to pay a prorated etf. I wasn't too impressed :X

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I sincerely hope that by the time you do that, Sprint changes their policies and charges you for every abusage KB you use.

If you can't handle adult agreements, don't enter into one.

If Sprint is not providing the service that is written in the contract then be an adult and have the ETF waived.

Either way, grow up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
I am no Noob to Android, but am to Samsung phones. This is my first time ever encountering kernels and modems that could be flashed separately. All other Android devices I used had everything together as a single package and did not offer a kernel and modem separately.

That said, I am trying to determine a solution for a frustration of mine. I want the newest Gingerbread 2.3.6 version for my ATT Galaxy S2 (NOT Skyrocket), but every time I check for updates, my phone says that I am up to date already. Yet, there have been three newer firmware versions leaked and I dont know what this means, but I am wondering if ATT is leaving me in the dust or something.

I have tried all three of the leaked updates (UCKJ1, J2, and J4), and although the phone works perfectly fine, all versions give me an impossible to deal with problem when I am in a call with someone. The problem is that no matter who I am talking to, they all complain that they cannot hear me because my voice is randomly fading in and out to the point where they cannot hear me at all. Strangely though, when I am on UCKH7, everyone says that I come in nice and clear and no one ever complains about clarity.

So, I was wondering first, what controls the calling portion of the firmware/

ROM? I was thinking that it was the modem, but when I think of modems, I think of something controlling internet, like 3/4G and wifi.

Second, if it IS the modem that controls the calling, then what would happen if I flashed the UCKJ4 firmware and the UCKH7 modem? Will everything work?

I was thinking that since H7 seems to be the only version that doesnt give me voice problems, then by using its modem with the J4 kernel, I could have the newest firmware, but still have people hear me.

If anyone knowledgeable in this area could help me, that would be ridiculously awesome! I dont want to try this unless I am sure that I wont brick my phone or something.

BTW, the voice problem is not caused by finger over microphone or my or the other party's reception. I have tested this as thoroughly as possible and it is definitely the firmwares for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
1) your modem controls both the calls and data connection.

2) you can flash the stock KH7 modem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336958&highlight=UCKH7+modem

you can do this without changing your rom or kernel. Hope that fixes your call issues (sounds like it will).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Modem controls calls and data connection, however the Samsung Noise Reduction feature is in the audio libraries within /system and to some degree in the kernel (sound drivers)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
Ok, so the modem does handle calls then. Thats good to know!

For the record though, the noise suppression feature seems to have no affect on this problem of mine. It doesn't matter whether it is on or not :-\

I am CURRENTLY running KH7 modem AND kernel and no problems right now.

Soooooo... What would happen if I flashed the J4 kernel, but the KH7 modem though?

Will things work right (data, wifi, phone calls, system stability, etc)? Will I lose noise suppression?

LOL, thanks for the replies so far, but my questions were only half-answered. (Probably too much text in my OP... sorry!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Most likely not much - the only case where you're likely to notice a change is if you flash my kernel, which pulled in the I9100's latest sound driver a few days ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
Please forgive me for not fully understanding all of this.... -_-'

So, it isn't worth it to flash the J4 kernel (in order to get Gingerbread 2.3.6) and the H7 modem (to keep my phone calls clear)?

If I flashed your kernel though, how would it affect my phone?

Will I be at 2.3.6?

Would I flash your kernel, but keep the H7 modem?

Also, can you provide a link to your kernel (to make sure I find the same thing you are talking about)?

Again, forgive me for not understanding right away.

1. Sometimes while playing music that is even cache'd to the phone it will stop after every song and I have to turn the screen on for it to advance, is that normal?

2. Is there anyway of getting lock screen controls for it?

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba501:
No, it's not. Do you have underclocking profiles for when the screen is off? If so, having it set too low interferes with playing music; bump it up a little. If not, try clearing the application data (settings > manage applications > [find the app] > clear data).

As far as I know, the only way to get lock screen controls is if you use a third party lockscreen (Widgetlocker; others may work too, idk) and install Phantom Music Control.
