[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QueeN-LoveR:
Hello all,

I have the Galaxy Nexus and when I was configuring it, there was no Arabic in the UI language list.

As far as I know that most developers confirmed that the new version of Android (ICS) will have the Arabic language (menu & options Arabized).

Is there any way to enable the Arabic language on Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liorra3:
Try to use some app that will make locale manually like morelocale2, that's work great with hebrew, after that our device set to hebrew.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QueeN-LoveR:
I tried it but it almost did nothing. Only numbers were arabized
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alebreez:
What I know for sure is that Arabic is *fully* supported for reading and if you need writing download any Arabic keyboard. I didn't see anyone say it will support Arabic menu. This is to the best of my knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QueeN-LoveR:
Read the Locale section

Hi guys. Just sold my x10 and got a mini pro.

Having some serious issues with the gps. I stood outside for 20 mins and found 9 satellites.No matter how many it finds i never seem to get a locked signal.

Im currently using 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware which i believe is the latest

Ive attached a photo showing that the gps is finding various satellites ok.

Anyone with a mini pro that has had the gps working ok?

Many thanks

try this patch www .4shared.com/file/u0AVvK65/gps.html
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
The GPS on the Mini Pro its very bad and with a poor accuracy, take a long time to find you, and the signal its lost very easy, i already start a thread about this with some answers... but the GPS on mini pro its really bad :(

How do you install it? :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] salzzz:
If i'm not mistaken you've to push it to /etc/gps.conf
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tigermrk:
Thanks for the help guys. just to update i downloaded gps fix from the market. no need for root with this app.

Worked a treat left it on my window indoors went back 5 mins later and i had 18 satellites with a fix within 7 feet.

The patch you have posted, is this a well know issue then?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
Well its a notorious issue, but not so many people really use the GPS, or at least it seems that its not a very important bug in here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1294658

in the practive (with N-Drive for example) works.... lets say "good" with a few drops of signal for me, but the accuracy sometimes its not the best...

For me, the longer I used the GPS with Google nav, the better it got. (There was a particular deviation in my daily route, the phone got better and better at 're-routing'.

PS: just got 2.3.4 through PC! CDN in USA.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tacoaru:
Anyone care to explain what is 'pushing' and what is needed in order to do so?

For me, finding my location through maps takes a few seconds. However, other apps that require gps can't seem to get the location. I just want my Zombie Run! game to work and flee from imaginary undead :D

After driving around with GPS Test turned on, satellites popped up all over the place. Guess my area of the neighbourhood just has poor reception or whatnot. Other gps apps worked properly as well. Would still like to know more about pushing though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neroyoung:
Mini Pro has awesome working of GPS

I live in small town and there also i get GPS fully working with turn by turn navigation also LOL

Mini Pro is awesome ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauritzius:
Pushing means uploading the file via the 'adb' command to your phone, that is:

adb push gps.conf /etc/gps.conf

after remounting your partition r/w. You need to have a rooted phone, though, in order to have access to that particular bit of the filesystem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
anyone know if this has got fastboot mode? I will try booting to ODIN screen and connecting to PC later, will report if I find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
Almost no Samsungs do - Download mode (Odin/Heimdall) is Samsung's equivalent.

There's not really any need for fastboot with download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
thats what I figured, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] mike216:
What are you a nexus s noob like me? We better learn the adb codes now
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
I know adb but every other device I had also had fastboot. I knew about samsung Odin as well.

Hi. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I need a isb creator tool that will allow it to have the bios for a toshiba p300 laptop and would need to work from boot. Eg I need to put the usb drive in thdn power on the laptop while holding fn and b go kick start the usb drive

I've attached a zip. I don't have instructions but you should be able to figure it out.

Alternatively, the HP tool that did the rounds some time ago was useful:

I download and flashed this zip file but I do not see Babe. I tried using ROM Manager. Does anyone know why?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For the love of God!! Do some reading. It is a theme for recovery, not a flashable zip. Use 4EXT Recovery Control to install it.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

ROM Manager has nothing to do with 4EXT.

They are separate programs.

If you want to use the theme,then you have to install 4EXT.

Check my signature.

[HTC Sensation] rlamba:
Thank you for your kind information. I think I will stick with ROM Manager as it is very easy to Use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, trying to find out all of the relevant things about this phone is a lot more difficult that it sounds, getting some real world experiences from the XDA community makes more sense. I am coming from a Samsung Vibrant, a device still without 2.3 from the manufacturer, that has always had pretty bad GPS, and leaves a lot to be desired..

Feel free to offer any of the positives/negatives you've found switching from your old device, compare, contrast.. anything goes. A few of my specific questions:

Battery life? Under heavy use, not just because you have a million apps with notifications every 5 minutes..

The ease of rooting and recovering if something goes wrong? I've never came close to bricking my old phone, but we have software we can flash(odin) the original software with in download mode-- does this phone have protections like that?

Development and community support? I've never owned an HTC, so I am wondering if they are better about updating devices? Does the dev community here have difficulty getting drivers and such to create new roms(or upgrade to ICS)?

Think about the concerns you had before you upgraded to this phone(for those who actually think things out, not the "oh, shiney!" crowd), did this phone fill your expectations, is there another phone you wish you had bought(or one coming out you would hold out for) that works with T-mobile?

The only thing this phone seems to be missing is NFC, and I'm unsure about how the screen quality is versus my amoled galaxy S. The only other phone I'd consider that is out now is the S II, but something about it leaves me underwhelmed..

Please, be positive, no flaming, no telling me I should spend hours/days using search to find outdated answers to my questions- this has the potential to help other people considering the device!
[HTC Amaze 4G] deliriousbb:
See my signature. This phone suits my needs. The others have been good for what I needed them for (Sensation: similar but the Amaze has better everything; more RAM, better backlit illuminated camera, 2mp front camera, NFC, dedicated video/camera button), (Galaxy Note: has everything I needed, but camera was slightly slower and I have Tmobile and I couldn't handle the EDGE data only) I don't regret getting the Amaze. It is slightly heavier and thicker than the Sensation, but its solid.

Battery life is not that great if you are a power user. I have 3 batteries and it gets me through the day. I usually do not need to use the 3rd battery. I use the phone for practically everything. Gaming: Shadowgun 30mins-45mins, texting: 30-50 msg, Netflix streaming: Yo Gabba Gabba 30mins, Music playing via bluetooth headphone 1hr at the gym, phone calls via car bluetooth for 30mins, regular phone calls 30mins-1hr, surfing the web 20-40mins, xda forum for 30-40mins. With all those things, I use 2 batteries. If I cut the activities in half, I can use 1battery and it will last me around 12-14hrs. (My rooted sensation did better at 16hrs, but I don't mind the 2hrs sacrifice)

This phone is roughly a little over a month old. Don't expect the community to be brimming with new things, especially with the announcement of ICS. Most developers do not want to dev something that will last only 2 months and then have replaced by a totally new firmware (ICS). So there will be a slight lull during this couple of months. But there are some great developers like Xboarder56, NRGZ28, mike1986 and Revolution that is keep this phone relevant. I really appreciate these guys.

The build quality is top notch (at least initially) for HTC phones. IMO it is definitely better than the current Samsung phones out now. The Galaxy Note was a nice phone but you can totally tell that it did not use premium material for the overall phone. The glass looked nice, but it did not have Gorilla glass.

This phone DOES HAVE NFC. Check the specs. :p (Near Field Communications)

[HTC Amaze 4G] TheSneakerWhore:
Having come from the Vibrant:

Great battery life-QS1.5.1

Great build quality

Great camera

Easy to root

Easy to backup

Easy to flash

[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
you can't really brick this phone because we're stuck with s-on. Usually bricking occurs when you mess with bootloader and radio. However, with s-on we can't change that unless its through an OTA update.

Rooting takes a minute, recovery is done with CWM recovery, so it should be familiar.

btw the vibrant sucks balls.

however the gs2 is supposedly a huge upgrade to all their crappy predecessor so you can check that out too if you're afraid of the change from samsung to htc.

You can always invest in a mytouch 4g or sensation to see how it's like. They're both AMAZING phones har har but of course they lack in hardware specs, but they're both better than any other samsung phones out there except the latest ones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bstes1:
Best T-Mobile phone going right now!

Let me start by saying I have been with Android since day 1. Started with the G1, then Mytouch 3g, the Nexus One, the Vibrant, the Mytouch 4g, and now the Amaze. I have not had a problem with any HTC phones and they are all still running today. The only phone I had any issue with was the one Samsung (also still running). I am not an HTC "fanboy" if something better came along I would certainly buy that.

The Amaze is the best phone T-Mobile offers right now. Compared to your Vibrant you'll be blown away with the quality of the phone the fact that everything works as it should.

HTC has a good track record of updating their devices OS's (Even the Mytouch 3g got Froyo before the Vibrant) and they do it OTA, no Kies. HTC's have always been quickly adopted by the development community for their relative ease of rooting and overall usage of "common" hardware that allows you to make ROM's for several different devices with very little modification.

Gingerbread is not a huge leap from Froyo. Most everyday users would be hard pressed to find a real difference. What will be different is going to HTC Sense from Samsung's TouchWiz interface. This will be a case of "It's up to you" totally depends on your own personal taste. I personally couldn't stand Touchwiz.

Battery life has been a little better than my MT4g was and seems to be about on par with or maybe a little better than my Vibrant. I have not owned a phone since my Palm Treo 650 that I didn't have to charge at least daily so I don't think there will be any surprise for you here.

Lastly, the screen. It is very nice and smooth. The resolution is higher than SGS2 therefore making it very crisp. It is not AMOLED, however, so you will not have the vibrance and deep contrast of the AMO screens. Your blacks won't seem as black and your bright colors will not jump out of the screen at you like the AMO screen does. Once again this is somewhat of a personal preference but compared to the Samsung devices this may be the only slight disadvantage.

This phone has the best camera ever offered in a smart phone. It has as much or more computing power of any phone on the market. The device is very solid, it just feels high quality and it has all of the bells and whistles that any smart phone out now has including NFC. I can't imagine this phone not exceeding any expectation you would have for a smart phone, unless you need a phone with a battery that lasts several days between charges, then you my friend have un-realistic expectations. Ha!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
In a nutshell..

Good -

Sharp and Bright screen. Blacks levels are ok light bleed makes it worse. Still better than GS2 screen because of sharpness and IMO color accuracy.

Very fast camera. Dedicated buttons for camera and camcorder. They also wake the phone which is a huge plus IMO.

Eye pleasing . White model looks great IMO. If this were a super light/thin phone itd be a no brainer.

Bad-

Just big , heavy, and Fn bulky. Simply doesnt feel as good as other phones in the hand.

Lack of support. I give nothing but credit for wonderful work by Xboarder and others but take a gander at GS2 forums , or when Galaxy Nexus drops there forum. I just dont expect this place to ever be buzzing with the number of great tweaks , enhancements , and features other phones may get. ICS ROMS will likely be on other phones much sooner than Amaze.

Galaxy Nexus and its HD screen are going to be available soon. Just something to consider. HD screens will be more prevalent and the Amaze fast camera and gorgeous screen wont be as impressive by weeks end.
[HTC Amaze 4G] riprowan:
Love my Amaze

I've had a Nexus One for over a year (prior to that it was a Droid). I've also used the original Galaxy phone as well as the Evo.

I've been waiting patiently for a Galaxy Nexus for months as a replacement for my Nexus One. After seeing the camera shots - which are identical in shot quality to the (poor) camera on my Nexus One, I knew I could not possibly get a Galaxy Nexus. For me, camera quality is very important, since my phone *IS* my point-and-shoot, and the Galaxy Nexus camera simply blows. So I gave up waiting to get a GN.

I went into the T-Mobile store to play with the GSII side by side with the Amaze. Both are very good. For me, I went with the Amaze.

1. Build quality, IMO, is top notch. Yes the phone is heavy. To me it has a really solid feel. It's like comparing a S300 Mercedes to a Fiat - both may actually provide similar reliability, but the Mercedes feels far better built.

2. The screen is excellent. I suspect the GN will be better, but side-by-side with the GSII the Amaze had the better screen IMO. The GSII's AMOLED "pops" more but the improved resolution on the Amaze made the real difference.

3. The camera on the Amaze took better photos, and I liked the software better. The flash is amazing for a camera phone.

4. Battery life has been a huge improvement over my N1/Cyanogenmod phone. In normal use I go all day easily without charging. If you aren't playing games or heavily using Maps, I suspect you'll never need to "top up."

5. Great network performance. I haven't benched the speed, but the network feels 3X faster than my N1.

6. The new Sense is much better than TouchWiz IMO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I want to say this is some great quality feedback, definitely hit everything I asked then some. I have a multitude of reasons for wanting to upgrade from my vibrant besides the "oh, shiney!" factor. Not a huge fan of touchwhiz, poor gps performance, lack of updates, no camera button, etc.. The biggest issue I have right now is price, I'm not willing to go contract with tmobile, and I don't want to pay the current full price like I did with my vibrant-- so if anyone decides they want to get a different phone and knock a fair chunk off of their amaze to get rid of it, bookmark me(I'm looking at you deleriousbb!)

The best points for me I've read about so far:

picture quality, I do want a good camera in my phone since it is the device I have with me always, who knows how many pictures I've lost by not having a dedicated button too..

I forgot it DID have a NFC- that was the original thing I was looking for when looking for a phone, trying to find one that is a little more future proof, this phone being the only one that I could find with hardware specs that sounded good.

Hell, it even has FM radio, something I wish I had a few times now..

Heavy- I actually LIKE this, my vibrant felt far too light, I want to have a solid feeling phone, and if it can double as a brick to be used for self-defense-- so be it.

Overall this sounds like a phone worthy of upgrading to(I really want to make sure I am upgrading) from my vibrant, more or less future proof.. the only thing it doesn't have that I see in the near future is a quad core processor, and those only interest me because of the battery savings they are supposed to offer.

I don't know about the s-on thing someone mentioned, that locks the radio too? That would be the only downside I've seen so far, changing radios has been the way I get the best battery out of my phone thus far, but I suppose I can deal(and have something to research). I also don't know much about how the qHD led screen compares to the vibrant, I was looking forward to better battery life because I know amoled screens use more power than most and using black reduced that..

I guess the only question that didn't get answered is if there is a phone out or coming out that people wish they had held out for? I am not impressed by the galaxy nexus- no external sd, no camera button, lower mp camera(yes I understand better quality sensor), and a few other things.. but I am a hardware guy, and this phone is superior in specs, and the feedback makes me feel good about that.

Also, is there anyone who thinks they may be trying to sell their phone anytime soon? I see myself buying this used rather than going contract(I hate contracts), so I am going to have to wait till there is a price I like more..

Thanks again everyone for the great info, besides everything about the phone that sounded so great, it sounds like you guys are pretty friendly, supportive, and overall helpful!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Check out XDA's market there are some pretty cheap phones there. usually range about $400 for amaze. So you can sell your vibrant for iono $150? on CL and pay $250 more for an amaze.. on contract you already pay $200?

So anyways I actually have a gs2 in hand right now so i'll add some things, although it is similar to what manmythlegend said.

the gs2's connectivity is actually on par with the amaze. I would say amaze's gps is slightly faster but gs2's wifi connectivity is a bit stronger and has quicker connection time.

amaze's camera is better, GS2 appears to have more options on the camera and has their own scenes to choose from, BUT it does not compare to the amaze's scenes at all. BTW I love how the amaze's dedicated button works even when phone is locked.

Screen. the super amoled compared to the amaze's screen reminds me of mt4g good and bad displays. gs2 looks awesome when you view it from every angle. Amaze reminds me of an old LCD when you view from different angles the blacks become like gray. However, I hate how gs2 looks all stretched out and it's not as sharp. think iphone 2-3 vs iphone 4. Amaze is defintely more uhh pretty, its like the UI and icons actually pop out at you compared to gs2' where everything looks blended in a bit.

Another factor, I do not like gs2's blue tint when viewing websites or anything with a white background, it actually feels bad for my eyes. oh and amaze's color seems to be more true.

But remember this, Amaze's battery right now is SO SO, so if you're a heavy user make sure to carry a spare or your charger around.

This may seem like a bias review, but I'm actually pointing out what I normally use on a daily basis that the gs2 would not do for me as the amaze would.

keypoints

1. CAMERA (love amaze's camera and its scenes)

2. Web browsing or anything that has to do with a white background (XDA APP ahem), blue tint is no go for me..

3. base on user preference. I like the weight of the amaze. It tells me that my phone is in my pocket and that it's sturdy to carry around. The amaze's curve body makes it feels better in my hand.

There's something about the gs2 that just doesn't feel right. probably the width or depth of the phone, not exactly sure. I have about an average adult male size hands and the width of the phone might be the thing that is bothering me or that it's actually too thin that makes it feel weird, idk grip both phones, you'll see what i mean.

things that will bother you on the amaze:

the light bleed from the bottom (fixed with screen filter or other ways) and possibly the mediocre battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] enserio:
GREAT GREAT reviews here. Just what I was looking for.

My G2 has some wear and tear and TMo said they would do an early upgrade where I could get the Amaze for $250. I went to the store and played with the Amaze, and it was a pretty nice looking phone at face value.

I, too, wanted to wait for the Galaxy Nexus to drop on TMo, but I despise Samsung. If I had to use Odin every time I flash, I'd be pissed. HTC is perfect for people who love to flash roms, and I am that guy.

Really thinking I should do this...only thing that had me thinking, was whoever said that development for this phone would be weak. xboarder is a BEASt, though - dude was in the G2 forum for a few months and had things going.

Should I do this?
