yup im rooted and i got to say i like my phone being rooted

there are less restrictions placed and since i have had android for while now and my last phone was rooted i coulnt stand being not rooted

also i used to have los daily once or twice but it was drastically reduced after doing this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VDxEnO1tow for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewalk4866:
you can also try out the one click root option that located in the top of the dev section it works great and you dont have to us ODIN to root you phone. Just remember to read read and read you will find all your answers that way :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Will this let me flash Starburst ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Oh, and one more thing, this doesn't mess with phone activation, etc. Right? Or would I have to re-activate the phone or something once I flash a ROM/root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewalk4866:
Yes it will let you install any rom that you want as long as you also insstall clockwork mod (CWM5) it also in the instructions on how to root.

No this will not mess up your activation just start flashing roms till you find one you like. please just remember to do a backup inside cwm once you are rooted you will see an option there for it. This will let you go right back to how your phones is right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Thank you so much! Also, last nooby question, I promise, I heard something about a Binary counter with Odin, will flashing roms/rooting with that one click root increase it? Also, what happens when it does increase?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ashevillemike:
I have another question. I'm currently rooted with EG30 but have not installed any roms. When it says to do a wipe does this also wipe the data from my internal and external sd cards?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewalk4866:
No it will not wipe any sd card data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewalk4866:
Yes once you flash cwm you will have a binary count but if you go on eBay and search for USB jig it will reset the binary count for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] txbatman90:
Assuming you are using ClockWorkMod, wiping data and cache will not affect the information on your external SD card. If you select "advanced" from the CWM main menu, it will provide an option for partitioning the SD card. I haven't messed with that item, but I'm guessing it could wipe data from the external SD card.

I use the ClockWorkMod backup/recovery and it works great. I also use Titanium Backup. It will allow you to backup all of your applications and files and then restore after you've wiped everything and installed a new ROM. Titanium also requires rooting.

I started out using the Odin ROM and has some issues, so I reloaded the stock ROM and then flashed the Starburst ROM with LoST kernal. I'm having great success...great battery life and all is well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
No when you wipe data its on the phone but not pictures on the SD card. Its easy once you get going.

Email me if needed I can walk u thru.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ashevillemike:
Why don't I have an advanced option in CWM? ROM manager says that I have the latest version (5. 0.2.7)

I tried to flash the EK02 zip and got an invalid signature file error in cwm and the installation was aborted. I did wipe data and cache beforehand. Can anyone tell me why this happened?

Thanks,

[Milestone XT720 General] AlphaCentaurus:
Hello!

I found that our phone support only HSDPA at 1700/2100 MHz. Is it possible to use HSDPA at 900 MHz after some software modification or not?

I have a bad feel that ability to use HSDPA 900 MHz is hardware depending?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure the radio frequency is hardware based, rather than software controlled
[Milestone XT720 General] DarkMD:
Same to me... in my country (Panama) 3G frequency are 900/1900
[Milestone XT720 General] Shadowdancer123:
Although I don't think it will enable 900 Mhz support, you can always attempt a baseband update that more closely resembles your needs.

I got a lot steadier 3G coverage with the European baseband. (in sweden)
[Milestone XT720 General] jp23:
same to me, my network operator have HSDPA and 3g on 850/1900 Mhz.

it's any solutions for this?
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
better 3G coverage

Whoa..are you saying that by using a comparable baseband, but not necessarily my own carrier stock supplied one, I could potentially improve my 3G reception??

Anyone on Wind Canada tried this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog17:
I have been searching numerous of threads and on the web to see what apn protocol does for our phones. Most, I should say all of our mt4g roms have APN protocol set on wap 2.0. With this ics rom we have APN protocol set on IPv4 or IPv6. Would this have anything to do with any issues?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Hmm. The CM7 variant I'm currently using is set to IPv4. However, I usually get duplicate and triplicate MMS messages when soneone sends me one. That's the only problem I've run into, and I have no clue if the two are related.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog17:
I'm just not sure why the ics rom has IPV4 or IPv6? This is the first time I have seen this in the apn and I'm not sure how to change it. I would like to see if changing protocol to "wap 2.0" would help on wifi? Not positive but, could protocol IPv4 be a setting from another carrier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digglez:
I found on the market apn setting shortcut its not an app or a widget just a shortcut to the system apn settings , try it and tell me if it works I gotta figure this out before I update to ics
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] apollopayne:
Sorry if this has been talked about. But didn't find much on it. Are anyone using it? Do you recommended it? Free or paid version? I have tried the free one but didn't notice any thing.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Scratch0805:
Worst app I ever bought. At first I thought it was the mutts nuts but as I learnt more about what my phone was really doing I realised that I used more battery with it running than without.

Don't get me wrong though its brilliant if you hardly touch your phone but if like me you cannot put it down then its absolutely pointless, I much preferred using a combination of apps to save battery's, llama a free task automation app, autostarts to stop things running in the background and fast reboot pro to free up some memory.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] apollopayne:
Thanks for the advice and got fast boot pro which is ace
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] owner eod:
No

Its a complete waste of money, i use battery defender instead its free & does a better job :)

@scratch: as far as i know you don't even need to install any auto killer to terminate apps cuz Android has a feature through which it shuts down unnecessary apps when free space is required...

Sent from my HTC Wildfire
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Scratch0805:
Nowhere did I mention any task killer and just fyi I know perfectly well how androids built in task killer works!

I also know that the android task killer has exactly the same flaw deep down as any auto taskkiller, all apps have certain parameters which when met will enable an app to start. These parameters range from things such as switching on wifi or mobile data to simply plugging in your charger therefore even the built in taskkiller is slightly flawed as an app which has been killed before can just restart as soon as one of its parameters are met.

Check out the app I mentioned autostarts which isn't a taskkiller as such but more stop the task parameters from being met in the first place.

Just got mine as well. I'm in Chicago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psero:
So I don't know if you guys have a problem with this, too, but I thought I might post a poll of how much internal storage they start with on their fresh Galaxy Nexus (GSM).

When I opened up my Galaxy Nexus, it started out with 13.33 GB worth of available storage, means that the ICS firmware is taking up 2.67 GB.

I never asked for 13.33 GB worth of storage out of the box, I asked for something close to 16GB when I bought it. I don't like the fact that I feel cheated and the numbers were misrepresented. I KNOW I KNOW some of you will play Le Googly Devil's advocate and say, "Well obviously, the 16GB includes the Ice Cream Sandwich that comes with it, so it would obviously take up some space."

I KNOW I KNOW, but I want you guys to realize that operating systems like linux didn't take up 2.67GB way back when. But now, 2.67GB..? Now that's crazy OS talk right there. I like to have more storage please.

This is a very inconspicuous marketing tactic, using our own money, our own internal storage to pretty up an operating system, called ICS, worth 2.67GB of data.

I remember way back when...

So anyways, how much memory do you guys start at?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
if u remember way back.. then go get urself some old device with cupcake, donut or eclair. i m pretty sure they wont take up to 2gb of ur internal memory

if u want newest os, suck it up dude.

if u want more memory, get 32gb with lte.

if u dont have lte, but u want 32gb, well too bad, get 32gb with lte anyway and suck it up~~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I'm pretty sure most of the unavailable space is allocated for dalvik-cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
As Chirality comments, a good chunk is definitely taken up by the dalvik-cache. You could get rid of that (don't ask how) and get closer to your 16GB, but then you'd end up with a really slow device.

btw, you're forgetting the marketing 16GB vs actual 16GB space. As every digital storage manufacturer represents 16GB as 16,000MB = 16GB, whereas in reality its only 15.6GB, that makes it 2.27GB for ICS by your calculations.

And not to mention your comparison to linux? This is Android, it only uses the linux kernel. But besides that, it's very different from a linux distribution, it's more like a JVM wrapped onto a linux kernel.

and finally.. is it really that big of a deal? If it is.. then as king23adrianc says, get the 32GB version, OR wait for an ICS phone that comes with an SD card. I understand that for some people, they need a lot of space. I can understand that. But then I can't understand why you would purchase a device limited with only 16GB knowing that you need more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yeah, suck it up.

It is a new OS, new requirements.

I don't know if you can flash Android version 1.0 to get more space.

Duh...

This is really more of a QA question but could anybody recommend a methodology or tool to thoroughly test an Android's network latency in-app? I'm trying to troubleshoot flaky network connections, timeouts, and general latency issue in an app.

[Xperia Play Accessories] MilkyJoePD:
I've heard they're not that good but I think they're great. They have lots of bass.

I've compared them with ridiculously priced ones from HMV (which do bounce about on your head a bit) but they have some bass on them.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:
Your question?

I like them too, i tried to get a replacement pair from sony chat services and they were very reluctant, they really wanted me to buy some livesound headphones from them for £79 but i got them from play.com, they are very good (bass heavy) :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] dannejanne:
They are utter crap if you ask me. Sure they have some bass. But bass is far from everyting. Where's the treble? It's pretty much non existant. The difference is so huge with better earphones. Why be happy with the Sony ones when you can get other ones with better bass and much much better treble.
[Xperia Play Accessories] GojiTronix:
The sound quality is horrible, i ended up getting the mw-600 to replace the stock ones, and they sound 100 times better.
[Xperia Play Accessories] dannejanne:
I use a pair of Audio Technica M50 earphones and the sound is amazing. Sure they are bulky but I don't care =D
[Xperia Play Accessories] psxpetey:
they sound good on the xperia play only any other device and they wont play any good sound best headphones ever are bluetooth rocketfish for 57 bucks
[Xperia Play Accessories] MilkyJoePD:

[Xperia Play Accessories] JayGB2011:
I was just thinking today how good the stock headphones are. What are people expecting from stock supplied headphones?

Just looked at the MW600 and that does look sweet.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:
I just realised that I could plug in normal headphones without a microphone and still make and receive calls using the phones Mic :)
[Xperia Play Accessories] Clienterror:
The stock ear cans do have decent bass, the problem is everything else is really really muddy and the bass is just booming there isn't much definition.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Sniper Spr3e:
i use my sennhieser hd202 for music and a bluetooth for calls

the stock are ok but i do love my music nice and crisp
[Xperia Play Accessories] MilkyJoePD:
If the stock earphones aren't that good then I'd love to try some other ones.

If there's one thing I've noticed about them it's that sticking them up your nostrils then yawning, it doesn't make it sound as though the sound is coming from inside your head as much as others I've tried.
[Xperia Play Accessories] MilkyJoePD:
Yep.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:

[Xperia Play Accessories] ff7fan4eva:

It's freaky. It sounds like the music is inside your head. You have to use the hard plastic earphones though. Stick 'em up there and yawn. :-)

[Xperia Play Accessories] XperianceIT:
My play didnt even come with earphones, all i got was the USB, Wall Charger, the headphone jack adapter, and the phone!
[Xperia Play Accessories] republicano:
the earphones sound great but i hate how sony makes the right wire longer or the left one too short,its not logical, the left cord gets pulled out of my ear because its too short and the wire generally moves to the center of my chest not the left side,so to fix this you tie the right cord up so its at even lengths with the left

i also brought the same style with even lengths,the only time they are practical for me is when i clip my ipod shuffle to my singlet at my shoulder,which is less than 20cm away from my ear anyway.
[Xperia Play Accessories] MilkyJoePD:
I think the different lengths is so you can put the wire round the back of your neck so the wires aren't dangling in front.

Hi,

Just wondering if I'm the only one in this thread with these issues. I don't have stock Xperia Play headphones and every time I try to plug in other types of headphones (tried 3 different ones) it keeps saying something along the lines of "accessory not recognized". Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and I need to buy proprietary Sony headphones or if my phone is just messed up. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Sniper Spr3e:
general rule of thumb is that headphones with any sort of micrphone or volume control that arent official sony ericsson dont work

also its a 50/50 chance that normal headphones work (normally cheap headphones dont)

my sennhieser headphones work but they cost £50 and only play music but alot of people complain that most headphones dont work.

so your choices are

1. but official sony ericsson headphones

2. buy a really good set of headphones (£40+) (probaly only work for playing music no mics or anything)

3. use a bluetooth headset

I know they have microphones but they still might work.
[Xperia Play Accessories] crazymonkey05:
Guys any headphone with mic and omtp wire mapping will work on the play with full mic support and BTW I use the Sony MDR-ZX100 and they got amazing bass with awesome treble couldn't be happier with them
[Xperia Play Accessories] RoboticBuddy:
Wait, just to confirm, basically any Sony headphones w/ a microphone and pause/play button would work on the Xperia Play, right?
[Xperia Play Accessories] |SavageD|:
I wouldn't say any....lets just say that there is a very high chance if it's a Sony ericsson headset with vol control and mic, that it should work.
[Xperia Play Accessories] AzNTypeR:
If its a Sony ERICSSON one Yes. Just a Normal Sony, No. They changed it.

- If you really urge to use one with a Mic, either use an adapter or do what I did. Buy a MW600. I can now use my New Earpods, so now I can be one both sides. Pro Apple and Pro Android.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gymfreak7855:
Hey Xda members

I have been thinking, Porting of ICS for our LG-p500's is not going to happen the best we can probably get is 2.3.7 with the 4.0 gui and a nice new kernel to support it. However I have been hearing that certain development teams are working on porting ICS. Is this true? How far do you guys think they will get? Hopefully within the next three months we shall see our first beta roms running 4.0 I really hope so as the new layout of 4.0 is better than 2.0-2.3.7. However they will run into issues such as giving support for the ARMv6 processor and fine tuning it so it will be able to run on half a gigabyte of ram... Which will likely limit the system very much so. I believe the minimum requirements for 4.0 are of the following:

1ghz processor

1gb of ram

these minimum requirements are double those of the p500's specs.

As I find out more I shall post links to developers teams threads which are working on ICS ports.

Also if anyone needs any help with their device leave a message as I can help with anything.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
No, there are no minimum requirements for ICS. it's just that currently it's not possible to port ICS (no 3D(hw acceleration), so it's useless) because LG and Qualcomm haven't release new sources for ICS.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Back in time, when ICS sources were released and Andy started with his port, i told him that there would be no big big progress until some specific parts of source corresponding not only to armv6 but qualcomm chip itself (or lg stuff/sources) be released but he insisted he could manage to fix all by himself, now im sitting back with my bowl of pop corns :)

That beign said, im not here to disrespect or to demerite his hard work, and good lord that he has a team now to support him, as he realized when he was working alone on GBS phonenix it was a very difficult/ time consuming job and finally left that project...

Finally and hopefully, we have very good devs working in devices similar to O1 and they surely will find out a way to make ICS work, (if andy doesnt manage fix this those problems first........)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gymfreak7855:
also i doubt LG and Qualcom will release new sources for ICS
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
no one has said we get sources for this old hardware. we can only hope, the hope

dies last :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
Just going to say Andy did open source no port
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] HawkeyeWPR:
Obviusly he Can do a Porting 0.0
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SWEATTAIMI:
Its easier to build from source :) and a port is made also Andy can port but he don't want to
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gymfreak7855:
Yeah, making a build from source is a lot easier than a port from another device, it also tends to be more stable as well.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It's basically the same except that a configuration from a lower-end device (The G1 for example) will make it much simpler to build than making a custom device tree from scratch. Again, we need code we don't have, so we can only raise a war against LG or Qualcomm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idan_mo:
Well, at the first, I thought I'm too sleepy because I've less then 3 hours to sleep, then I really chaed it out.

and voilla, probably silent update (like the market gets updates) adding new voice recognitions, like Hebrew, and it's actually works pretty nice!

Confirmed with some more users in Israel who use ICS port for their Galaxy S II.

Also added for example 'Arabic (Israel)'.

Comfirmations please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Well I do have Hebrew as one if the languages I can use for voice typing but not sure if it has always been there or was added in a silent update.
