[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
Memory (RAM) management made a big difference on my Evo. But when I try the standard tweaks on my Galaxy Nexus, it doesn't seem to do anyting.

System tuner pro:

Can move tweak sliders, but adjust minfree values do not make a difference in available memory.

Selecting "boot settings" crashes the app

Auto Memory Manager:

Can veiw OOM groupings, but cannot adjust values

Adjusting Min-frees does not seem to make a difference

V6 Supercharger:

Selecting min-frees does not work, will not display current min-frees

Neither "Bullet proof", nor "Hard to Kill" launcher settings work

Anyone have luck in good memory management? SeePU is constantly displaying low memory :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
Don't, just don't. Uninstall every memory management and task killer app you have and then reboot your phone, trust me, Android can handle memory on it's own - that's one of the functions of an operating system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Well for some devices with low memory these things can be helpful. But yeah with 1 GB RAM on this phone you will probably do more harm than good with those apps and scripts.

As for why they don't work in this phone, try asking the developers who created them to update them for Android 4.0. A lot of things have changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
I will post in the V6 thread as well about the issues running on this device.

As for why I want it to run on this device: It runs great off the bat, but quickly gets loaded down. Sure, android does a good job of killing apps on its own when needed, but I want that to happen in the background when the device is in my pocket, not when I pull it out and open a new application.

I had the same thing on my Galaxy Tab and managing the memory well works to keep it running lean.

And keep in mind I don't want an app killer, rather to tweak the internal values of the android memory management process:

OOM groupings - to control which applications are killed first in low memory situations, which ones are maintained, and which are never killed.

Minfrees - to control at which free memory levels each OOM grouping is selected for freeing up memory.

I want to sell my HTC Sensation 4G.

I unlocked it using Method 2 on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232107

My question is if I use the Factory Reset option in the Settings menu on the phone. Will my unlock still be activate and will the factory reset work?

Because on an iPhone if the phone is jailbroken you have to use some other method to factory restore it.

Hey adaseb,

no, a factory reset only deletes all data in /data.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerfest:
I am a big user/tester of nightly's... and while CWM doesnt get nightly's, and is more random...

I was wondering if someone could either teach me how (search does nothing for me) to do it myself, or pull the latest from the 5.0.2.7 branch of CWM (searching, the latest I found was from September of 5.0.2.0, so feel free to guide me to newer) for the Evo Shift!

And of course basically the same thing for 4EXT recovery as I asked for CWM... I use 4EXT for partitioning and alignment as well as conversion.

Thanks for any help or directions!

(this phone has a BAD ESN old owner decided to ditch Sprint... this will be my mobile "work" phone WiFi only :D )

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmik1021:
I have been having the issue where Google talk looses connection to the server repeatedly. I have to go back to the main gtalk screen to get it log back. I had this problem on Cog 4.5.3 and continuing on CM7, which I flashed today (nightly 181). This seems to be the only issue. I have search around the forum and the interwebz and have yet to find any actual solution to this problem. Any help from the XDA crew would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crymson:
I am using an Atrix 4g, CherryPi build, and this same problem recently started for me over this past weekend. Before that, it was working fine, but for some reason, it now loses connection to gtalk everytime I back out of the app. Hopefully someone can find a solution.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docent000:
I'm having this issue since Friday December 2nd.

Everything works fine over Wi-Fi but when I'm connected to AT&T 3G network the Google Services keep loosing connection and then reconnect.

It is not only Google Talk, it is all Google Services including Google Voice and GMail - now I get my messages late and sometimes I have to manually refresh to get new messages.

It is happening on my phone that runs CM7.1 and my wife's phone that runs CM6 and never been updated since December last year.

No settings were changed on either phone but both of them started having this problem last Friday.

I spend half an hour on the phone with AT&T technical support but they were useless and just said they have opened a case and will investigate.

Moreover, sometimes Gmail over IMAP was not available ("cannot connect to server") and Chase bank app could not connect to Chase server either

The problem still exists today for the 4th day.

Again, everything works 100% perfect over my home wi-fi connection, so there is clearly no phone or ROM problem.

Are you guys all on AT&T network or are you with other carriers and countries?

I am going to an AT&T store today to test a phone on display.

BTW, my phone is Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S), rooted, running CM7.1

I personally believe that AT&T is having problem with their APN.

My brother has SGSII and he is using a different APN that is only available to customers that have newer "4G" (HSDPA+) phones.

When he switched to "wap.cingular" he had the same issue in GTalk.

But he has no problem with Google Services using AT&T's new APN:

APN: phone

instead of "wap.cingular"

But this is only available to HSDPA+ customers. I cannot switch to this APN.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathKoil:
I'm with you guys. I noticed today that I would lose my data connection when using many different Google services. Talk, GMail, and YouTube all cause my to lose my data connection (bars go grey from the normal blue, meaning I can make calls and do SMS, but I have no data connection).

Google Talk:

As long as I am on the main screen, I am connected and can see who is online and offline. As soon as I click on a person's name, I start to lose my connection. Occasionally I can get a message out before I lose my data connection, most of the time I can't.

GMail:

Messages come in on a LONG delay over mobile data, and when I am in the GMail application, I lose my data connection.

YouTube: The app loads, I can search for videos, I can even choose videos, but they will never load. I lose my data connection until I back out of Youtube.

All of this works just fine over Wifi.

Anyone have any additional information for us? When I noticed the problem, nothing had changed on my phone for weeks (I'm running Atrix CM7 nightly 20, which was released back before Thanksgiving). Tonight I did a full wipe in fastboot and reinstalled everything from scratch, and I have the same problem.

DK

P.S. I am on AT&T in Massachusetts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docent000:
Here is what I did as a temporary workaround.

I gave AT&T my brother's SGS II IMEI and told them that this is my new phone.

After the new IMEI was posted to my profile the data plan code has changed from SMT2GB to HSSMT2GBH

This way I have gained access to AT&T's new gateway (APN: phone).

With this gateway I have a stable connection to Google Services and the GTalk works perfectly, no jumping in and out.

The only problem is that I tried so many options but I could not setup the access point for MMS.

I don't usually use MMS anyway, so no big deal to me.

I consider it as a temporary workaround, hoping that AT&T is going to fix their wap.cingular anytime soon. It's been 4 days so far. And every technical support rep I spoke to says that he/she never heard about this problem before and this was their first time ...

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Full wipe (or clear data, clear cash, etc.) won't help here, this is clearly AT&T's problem. But I was about to do the same before I found out that my wife's phone acts exactly the same way. This saved me from setting up my phone from scratch :)

P.S. I have visited an AT&T Retail Location today and tested a few 3G phones they have on display - same problem detected.

(Woodbridge, New Jersey)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docent000:
OK, guys. The problem is gone this morning.

I have a stable connection to all Google Services through "wap.cingular" APN.

Congradulations AT&T, it took 4 days to fix the problem ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Ha, if I had found this thread yesterday it would have saved me several ROM installs. Oops :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docent000:
AT&T

Just a little update, if anyone would read this thread.

In February-March AT&T had the same problem with wap.cingular again and other APN had no problem.

Googel used to sing in and out all the time and quite a few websites were not loading at all giving me a message "page cannot be found"

Speaking to an AT&T rep was useless as always.

The first guy told me AT&T cannot guarantee 100% access to the internet at all times and there is nothing they could do about it.

Second guy called me a few times, he even tested a phone (or at least he said so) and did not find any problem. Then he called me back again and wanted me to do a factory reset. I told him I'm not doing it, peroid. My wife's phone does the same this and so does my old LG Incite with STOCK windows 6.1. I also told him that I'm not using their AT&T stock bloatware, since I told him that he started to push to the point that my problem was with unsupported OS and this was not AT&T's problem. I told him that I pay AT&T for SERVICE and not for the phone support and repeated that the other two devices have the same problem. I told him I'm not an average lamer-user, therefore he can't give me all that BS. He had nothing to reply but only promise to call me back WHICH NEVER HAPPEND.

Yes, he never called me back.

But next day the problem was gone. Maybe they found the problem and he was embarassed to call me back? Maybe the problem was gone by itself like it started. I don't know.

But it's all OK now since then.

Last week I flashed ICS 4.0.4 and now the phone is even faster and only better!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snow_fox:
Considering ordering this for xmas.

Just wondering if people went with standard B&N screen protector, or if they used something else?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] twodollaz:
I heard about this: http://www.epinions.com/content_1950392452 on reddit. I think I'll be giving it a try first. If it's not good, I'll go with another ready made type. The price is low enough that I don't mind experimenting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snow_fox:
I may bypass that.. Use to work at radioshack and hated having to cut out screen protectors.. even with the pre-made gride it was annoying..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
For the NC, I got a $2.5 eBay job, since it's pre-cut, anti-glare, anti-smudge. Works fine.

The more important question would be HOW TO best apply a screen protector. It's a PITA, especially for butterfingers. I watched a bunch of Youtube how-tos.

There are some tricks, the main one is to work in a non-dusty, lint-free environment, and to scrupulously clean the screen surface. May be the expensive stuff have better cleaning kits. Dunno.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
Personally i have elected to go without a screen protector. After using an iPod touch with a screen protector for years i have found it to be a much nicer user experience using glass screen devices without a plastic covering. And since i wont be putting the nook in my pocket im not too worried about scratches from keys and dirt. I do however use the leather nook cover when im taking it places.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I have also elected, for now, to go without a screen protector. I have a leather cover for it, and I use a stylus I purchased from Walmart (Targus, was cheaper there than anywhere else) almost all of the time. So far so good.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I don't think the NT is glass, feels like some kind of acrylic.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] outbasket:
I bought a couple of cheap Matte screen protectors from Ebay. The brand turned out to be Insten 22191 PBNXNOOKSP02 Made in China. I could not get it on without bubbles, so I don't recommend them. I bought 2 for $2, so I may try again. I saw one applied at the B&N store and it was perfect, so perhaps the ones they sell at the store are better.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
I had a gift certificate so I bought the matte one from B&N. I normally use InvisiShield protectors on my other gear, but they have a slight orange peel finish that I didn't think would serve the great NT display too well. The B&N screen works fine, but frankly I think it slightly diminished the impact of the high quality display. While it lowers the noticability of smudges, it also reduces the contrast and the sharpness and vibrancy slightly. I'm debating going with no protector, or finding a crystal clear protector that literally looks like nothing is there. I know that will do nothing for the glare and smudges, but it won't be any worse in that regard than not using one at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digitalreflex:
I took a chance on a kit from amazon for $9 which included 2 antiglare sheets and a stylus. The screen covers went on fast and work great while the stylus is decent.

I would post a link but I don't have enough posts, search "glareshatterer" on Amazon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
I went with "stealth shields" in ebay. They are like 7 bux for 2. It goes on with water and soap with a squeegie.

Mine went on flawlessly, no bubbles or anything. Crystal clear.

I find the water and soap shields the easiest to install. I always screw up the self adhesive ones and i alost always get at least 1 bubble.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarrisonBP:
So, I've been sick all weekend. What better way to spend a few hours indoors then to try out a fresh new ROM?

Last night I flashed from the old, worn out, seemingly no longer updated SkyRaider Sense (with Chad's Incredikernel) to what had been my old standby, CM which I believe came with it's own kernel. I am on XP. While native tether worked on SkyRaider, I couldn't get it working on CM7.1 which is a deal-breaker for me as I tether often (and though it's a good backup plan wireless tether SUCKS! soo slow). After trying to figure it out for a few hours, I came to the conclusion (wrong as it may be) that CM7 could not support wired tether, a problem that is isolated to that ROM.

Time for another flash. This morning I did some research and landed on MIUI and a new Incredikernel. I like this ROM but still no wired tether. Here's what happens:

1 Plug in USB

2 Menu>Settings>System>Tethering and Portable Hotspot>USB Tether ON

3 New Hardware Wizard Runs - doesn't matter though, I've downloaded no less than 10 drivers that are supposed to fix this and similar problems (tetherxp.inf, Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device, HTCSync, VZAccess, etc). Automatic install, let windows search, manually choose file - honey badger don't care.

4 Device Manager shows "RNDIS" Under "Other Devices" Anything I do - "The hardware was not installed because Windows could not find the necessary software."

5 A single tear rolls down my face.

Though this MAY be an easy fix, I have searched everywhere and cannot find the info I need. Feel free to post any link to solved posts concerning this, though I feel I've tried everything readily available.

Does Chad's new kernel support RNDIS? Is there a kernel that does? Can someone write one?

Is there a different driver that I am supposed to be using?

I don't want to go back to my nandroid backup.

Please bring NyQuil, thanks in advance,

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
I've had the similar RNDIS issue before. What fixed the issue for me was installing the modified usb drivers from the unrevoked website. The thing is Windows would not install the drivers running normally. I had to boot the PC into safe mode, then I booted my phone in to Hboot then plugged it in to the PC and the drivers installed successfully. Give that a shot maybe it'll work for you..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Download this and unzip it then go to ADB , DRIVERS, HTC Modem Driver. The driver you require should be in there.

Thank you both, I hadn't tried installing in safe mode WHILE in HBOOT... however, it did not work. I tried both sets of drivers while in safe mode and HBOOT, then just in safe mode, then just in HBOOT.

Do you mean faint vertical grey-ish lines all on the screen? I have that on low brightness, too. When I turn the brightness up, they go away (or are at least unnoticeable). But if it's lower than about 1/3 the way up, I can see the lines pretty clearly on whites and other light colors. They look pretty consistent and like there are dozens of them across the screen.
