[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
Yes, check for dead/stuck pixels. I had a single stuck pixel on my first Nexus which, to be honest, would be hard to notice in normal use. But luckily I was able to have it replaced with a new unit, which is 100% perfect. I'm sure that over time that stuck pixel would have started to annoy me more and more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shutterspark:
Loose battery cover.

It's probably not that common, but here in Japan they ask you specifically to check for defects before handing over the phone, and the first model they gave me had some play in the back cover (slid up and down a little when seated) which would have annoyed me no end.

2nd device was fine though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Is there any Logic? Thats the big question. I got my phone on November 24th from Handtec and have suffered the Volume bug every day I used the phone rendering it useless. It has fits constantly vibrating and up down and vibrating more and up up up down down down down vibrate up down vibrate, for 25 or 30 seconds at a time then goes unresponsive for a few seconds more. I set it to WCDMA only for a while but there was no signal in many places I was. Junk.

Many people who bought new phones in past few days have the update immediately. I am still waiting. I thought it was meant to be out to all phone by last week? Is it the end of this week? I cannot do another week like this. Absolute crap handling of the situation by google/samsung.

:mad::mad: argh......ARGH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
check your build.prop file and make sure you have the google version of ICS.

/system/build.prop

you don't need root access to read it. Look at the fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Thanks.

ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.1/ITL41D/223971:user/release-keys

I did notice this, could that be anything?

ro.product.locale.region=US

I am in Ireland.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Looks like you have the proper build that the OTA is for. This is the code from the update script in the OTA.zip. You're probably just unlucky and haven't gotten it yet.

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/yakju/maguro:4.0.1/ITL41D/223971:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/yakju/maguro:4.0.1/ITL41F/228551:user/release-keys");

Mine has a weird samsung fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
As if by magic.... Its arrived right now. After my second post. Who says complaining achieves nothing :o Wahoo. Time to make some phone calls without dropping them. Time to do some surfing while on 2G without phone going nuts. Brilliant.

:eek::cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
That's pretty funny. How ironic :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Maybe the almighty Goog picked up that I opened the build.prop file and knew I meant business? :D

Or perhaps it's just ironic that it should arrive within minutes of me finally reaching 'ranting point'. ha!

Thanks for the help. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vonsamurai:
Do you have a old AT&T sim card? That was my problem. Ask someone at an AT&T store for a new sim and see if that works.

I am not running anything that would auto start or kill apps.

The app itself isn't crashing it is just giving me a server error when I try to send MMS.

I don't have an old sim card. I am using a micro sim. I don't know if that could be the problem.

For a professional review, listing ALL of the amazing features of this app, please go here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...ion-weve-seen-to-date-really-hands-on-review/

Lots of people seem to be having problems with Samsung Dive, I for one was one of them. Well I found this app, and it's fantastic, period.

I love, and I mean REALLY love, my Samsung Galaxy S2, it's an incredible phone, and if I was to lose it, I wouldn't know what the hell to do. I believe this app to be 10* better than Samsung Dive, even if it works for you.

---Before you do this---------------------------------------------------------

Root Permissions Is Recommended, why? Because:

This will make GPS location tracking enabled if wifi can't be connected.

This will make the app be installed as a System app, protecting it from Factory Resets.

This will save the data of the app, Protecting it even further from Factory Resets.

And a few other things.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, Before you install this app: TURN "Remote Controls" OFF: The may see this enabled, forcing them to turn the phone off and dispose of it, making it irretrievable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Samsung Dive Features:

Call Phone

Wipe Phone

Locate Phone

Track Phone

Turn On Alarm

(Un)Lock Phone

Theft Aware Features:

100% Invisible

99% (Un)Uninstallable

Track Phone

Lock Phone

Wipe Phone

Update: Get: IMEI, area code, carrier, network, owner name, Signal Strength, CellID, New IMSI.

Opened via the Phone Dialer with a user specified code.

Auto-Check for updates.

Custom Lock Text - Give the theif some **** :D .

More features coming within future updates.

See, the poblems with Samsung Dive is:

1. The remote controls option, the thief will see this, they will then know that the phone can be traced, so they'll dispose of it.

2. It isn't invisible, in fact, it's quite visible; When the phone is getting tracked, the GPS icon is not hidden, and "Connecting to server" notifications pop up, alerting the thief.

3. It doesn't always worlk. Ive seen countless threads complaining about this.

The problems with Theft Aware: None. Nada. Zilch. It's cheap, extremely cheap considering what you get, would you risk your device's safety for just 3 pounds? (Bound to device licence)? I wouldnt, In fact, I didn't - I bought the app just 5 minutes ago :D .

Oh, by the way, there's a 70% off limited discount for a limited time.

There's also a free 7 day trial, so you can test the app to its maximum ability.

So give it a try, it's an incredible app. Oh, and it's also created by Avast! - The creators of the best antivirus ever created.

Ok, that's enough Bumming the app, I'll shut up now and let you check it out. Thank you.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] okmijnlp:
Opinions are opinions. Personally I love Avast! But seriously, weather you like them or hate them, you should really try out the app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
One observation. When you lock it with dive as long as they are using samsung roms you can mess with the thief, on theft aware you just reflash rom and poof, it's gone. Chalk one up for the dive.

And how is custom lockscreen message and alarm not alerting the thief?

Bottom line is if you have professional and smart thief you're fckd anyways and if your phone is stolen by an idiot then dive will do just as well.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] okmijnlp:
Custom lock screen is optional, it's useful if you've got the location of the phone.

Whereas a factory reset will render dive useless.

Yeah you're absolutely right, but I doubt a thief from a council estate will be a pro either way.
[Kindle Fire General] ccrooks:
Is there a way to use the cloud drive as a real cloud drive (i.e. dropbox)? It's cool that it sync's docs, music, and apps automatically, but what if I want to put some stuff in there from my PC and have it available on my kindle fire to download (or not) when i wanted to?

Anyone got any ideas or alternate apps?
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
Sugarsync works great and was just released on the kindle. I like it better than dropbox. Holds a reasonable bandwidth so I can actually play video files as I download them. 5GB free. Reasonable rates for more space.
[Kindle Fire General] terracode:
To upload files directly into Cloud Drive from your computer:

Goto https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive#path=/ on your computer and log into your amazon account.

1.Click on the "Upload Files" button on the top left corner of the page.

2.Click on "Your Cloud Drive" to select a destination folder for your files. If you do not select a folder at this time, your files will be uploaded into the "Your Cloud Drive" root folder. You will be able to move or copy your files into a different folder once your upload is complete.

3.Next, click on "Select files to upload." Select one or more files from your computer to upload.

4.Confirm your selection to begin uploading your files.
​

You can now access your files from any computer or Kindle Fire. You can also use Cloud MP3 player to play music from your cloud dive music folder on your computer.
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
I know that it's possible to access my music, apps and books on the cloud on my kindle fire.

BUt if i have photos, personal docs, etc on my cloud drive, there isnt a cloud option on "docs" on Kindle Fire and there is no way to access them on fire. You can view all the files by silk browser but you cant download them i think.

I think amazon screwed really bad on that.
[Kindle Fire General] terracode:
If you go to the Amazon Cloud Drive location via Silk Browser you can download the document you placed on the Cloud Drive. You'll need to tap the name of the document to initiate the download to the Kindle. Selecting the checkbox for your doc and clicking the download button will not work. You'll need to tap the name of the doc. The file will appear in your Downloads folder. I was able to upload a Word doc via my PC and download that file via Silk Browser to my Fire. Unfortunately Quick Word was unable to open the file, but I was able to open the document using 'Documents To Go'.
[Kindle Fire General] nednarb:
does it matter what file type to do streaming with sugarsync? Should I keep movies under a certain size?

I got sample from a movie to work for streaming, but the whole movie wouldn't work. The file size was like 1.25 or 1.5 gig though.
[Kindle Fire General] FoibleOfHumanity:
Makes me wonder why Amazon Cloud Drive doesnt have an app...
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
I've had no problem streaming 600kbps video from sugarsync. Guessing the file you were streaming was a bit more than that.

I can't say enough good things about sugarsync. I can simply drop files in a synced folder on any PC and access it from any other PC or mobile device. I can also upload files from one mobile device and access from another (use this all the time to move apk files from my phone to my Fire).

Interface look could use some work, but its as easy as it gets.
[Kindle Fire General] egonzalv:
Use

minus

, its easy, and give us 10gb of free cloud drive
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
I think amazon's idea was to implement cloud drive on kindle fire features.

You can listen music from your cloud drive on music section on kindle, you can watch videos and apps on cloud too, i think they failed on documents, cause there is NO cloud option...

if there is an cloud option on docs section on kindle fire, you can access all your files on your cloud drive, but using that sections - music, videos, docs, apps.
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
Actually, The only Amazon cloud feature that makes sense is audio. You have an interface for playing any uploaded audio (or Amazon purchased audio) from their interface as well as the ability to move files back and forth from the cloud.

With video, images and other files and docs, there is no intelligent way to interface with these files.you can't play an uploaded video from the cloud, you can't view an image directly from the cloud, and you can't manage other files directly from the cloud. Files have to be downloaded before you can do anything with them. And cloud videos are not accessible from the video page, and cloud images are not accessible from the gallery.

I'm actually using mp3s in Amazons cloud, videos in sugarsync, and images in Flickr. Additional docs are managed in sugarsync. Would rather have one, but this setup actually gives me accessible, playable and manageable files for all.
[Kindle Fire General] guthrien:
Can't you do all those things with Dropbox? There's no defacto reason they couldn't set it up that way.

What's the rule or offer with uploading your own music to Amazon?
[Kindle Fire General] therethere:
Not only audio, but also apps and books are working good with the cloud. You can read and use books and apps from the cloud and download to device.

Only videos and docs (images, documents, etc) are not streaming from the cloud, neither accessible with that 2 options CLOUD/DEVICE that the others have.

I'm using picasa for photos and sugarsync for videos too.

[EVO 4G General] bcdudley:
Since I got my Evo, I have plugged it in with a usb cable to my Alpine head unit and used it as a jump drive to play music. A few days ago I decided to partition my SD card. Didn't even think about it being an issue. Today when I went to use it, I got a "Unit Error" on my Alpine.

I am guessing this is because the partitions. I also switched from Synergy Rom to a Mik Rom, but I don't think that is the cause.

Is there a way to fix this besides going back to a single partition, or am I stuck using the 3.5mm headphone jack now?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] threestripebrand:
Hmmm I'm partitioned without any issues.

sent from my nike hating evo!
[EVO 4G General] bcdudley:
Maybe a difference in the head units. I am running an Alpine, don't remember the model number off the top of my head, but it is one of the lower end units, single din. I am guessing it is getting the error because the first partition is ext3 and the Alpine is looking for a Fat partition.

Is there anyway to have it only mount the second partition?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Maybe if you repartition and setup the ext3 at the end of the drive instead
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
You don't NEED to partition. Get rid of a few apps and format your card as just one

Having trouble with AOSP? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
[EVO 4G General] bcdudley:
I do not think putting the ext3 at the end would help, but I am willing to give it a try. I am assuming I can partition it from my Linux laptop and it will be the same. Will Roms still work with it?

I understand I do not need to partition, but after seeing how much faster it is with partitioning, I am going to be very hard pressed to go back. Before, even with just a few apps loaded, my available memory was less than 100mb. Now with everything I need, I still have 340 out of 400 available.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Something that indicated that this depends a lot on the model of the stereo: my regular single din model recognized my phone as a mass storage device and was able to play the music files inside of it, however my double din pioneer errors out and it's unable to read it at all it does detect it since once plugged it does show that it is attempting to read the device on the USB port. The single din model is also a pioneer.

Also OP, have you disabled development mode on your device?
[EVO 4G General] {ParanoiA}:
I would say just leave ur phonehow it is since u like the setup and just buy a USB stick for your car since they are pretty cheap now a days

Support TrevE !
[EVO 4G General] bcdudley:
I will uncheck the usb development and see if that helps. The biggest reason I use my phone instead of a usb stick is because of a program called subsonic. It lets me store all my music on a server at home and easily sync it up and download to a folder on the phone. it was just an extremely convenient method for playing my music.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will report back once I am able to check it. My pcm went out in my truck last night and I am waiting for the replacement to come in, so I am down right now.

Thanks.

I am a very heavy user and sometimes have to swap between 3-4 different extended batteries before I can recharge. Because of this fact calibration doesn't work for me, the red battery low led blinks at me about 80% of the time.... Is there an edit i can do somewhere to turn it off?

[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
I use Light Flow Lite - LED Control. It just checked and it does have control for the Low Battery Notification LED. Check it out.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] UbuntuBrandon:
Yea definately go with Light Flow. It is worth the 5 bucks (I believe) for the full version. There is a free version, with less features of course, but it gets the job done. You can control, like MoonShadow said, all of the LED notifications throughout your system, which is awfully convenient.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
+1 Lightflow is definitely the best option.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Got the free version now but the question is still on the table because running yet another program is not the best option for this, its gotta be written somewhere in a "build.prop" type of file that could be tweaked to your preference, basically manually doing once what liteflow does for all of those other options

from my X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
I have not tried this so make a backup before you do this. If you don't typically use your red LED you can turn the brightness down to 0, it will technically still "blink" but you won't see it. Go to /sys/class/leds/red/ open max_brightness in text editor and the number should be something like 225, turn that to 0. Reboot and see if that works.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
That actually sounds like a feasible option there
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
And u also just gave me another idea caden

I was looking around in there and found the pcs backlight "brightness" and the value changes when I change my display brightness. I have been trying to find a way to lower brightness below what the slider allows. This way I don't need an app running to make it even dimmer to save battery. And with root explorer I can make a shortcut right to it when I want to change it.

The lowest value I've seen is 30. Im gonna try 20, then 15 and if I can still see then 10. Hoping this will help save battery when I don't need such bright screen.

Hoping ill be able to find something that shows the "minimum allowed by slider" or similar then I could edit that and be able torestore just use slider. I KNOW it goes lower than 30 cuz when using battery manager and battery goes lower than 30 it dims the screen even lower than I had it set.

Wow...sorry everyone lol..I didn't mean to hijack..was kinda related when I started. I know others might be interested in this also. I will post my findings after I give it a shot tomorrow. Gonna nandroid first of course in case anyone else tries this before me.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Im.just a little curious as to why u can't throw it.on the charger b4 going thru 4batteries? I mean I understand completely how heavy ur use might be as I am the same way. I can drain a stock battery in 3-4hrs sometimes(less sometimes) and I have 2fully charged batteries in my wallet all the time.

I recommend getting a desktop battery charger if u don't have one. Cheap on ebay.(I assume u already have one tho)

Edit::I tend to forget that not everyone wears pants wit pockets near the knee and can just easily bring their charger ANYWHERE lol. I have even asked bartenders to let me use outlets.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
I'm glad my post gave some insight haha. Let me know if it works.

Also as a side note, maybe his signature indicates he travels a lot up north somewhere (wilderness areas?) which would mean no outlet to charge. Just a guess.
