[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clcross18x:
I was in the same boat on AT&T after having been bitten by the iPhone 4S bug. After a few weeks, I totally realized I never should have bought it. Battery life is great and all and the apps are well designed, but there is something about having the same phone as my mother that rubs me the wrong way. Verizon's LTE is mighty tempting as well and even though we just launched a few LTE devices on AT&T, none of them caught my eye.

I ultimately decided to go with importing since my monthly bill would be lower with my work discount. LTE is great, but I can't imagine doing anything with it that I can't do on AT&T's HSPA network. Plus with how the launch of this phone has gone, I didn't want to take the risk that this would be Verizon's first and last Nexus phone. Hopefully AT&T does decided to launch an LTE version of the Nexus in the next six months. If not I'll just wait for the next Nexus....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onicrom:
I would also add... if you plan to travel outside of north america get the gsm phone, cdma doesn't work outside of North America (ok china and india?)

also. i've been using tmobile and not at&t which is awesome where I live. (~9mbit/s down). I cannot speak to the battery usage of LTE, but I hear its terrible

I say go with GSM

(note CDMA/LTE version is slightly heavier [15g] and thicket [0.5mm])
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
It was easy for me.

Got the imported GN. Went into AT&T store renew my contract by getting a iphone 4S for 200 hoping that I would be able to sell it for 500+ on ebay etc. That would help me cover some of damage that importing GN did to my bank. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Please explain what you can do on the LTE network that is impossible on a 7mbps+ HSDPA+ connection?

I use slingbox, tunein radio and SiriusXM without a hiccup.

How would Verizon make this stream better??

These outrageous LTE speeds only benefit users if you are tethering to download an .iso or something. Outside of that, it's marketing gold.

Discuss.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
If I get the verizon lte model I may actually get the Big old Cheese during a wootoff for once with the better speeds and ping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fr4c:
All of these posted speeds are nice, assuming that for both AT&T and Verizon provides the same level of coverage and network performance as promised. Even though my area is in HSDPA+, AT&T service is crap and isn't worth a damn during peaks times when I need to use my phone. I'd be lucky to get 1MB down if that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBaker:
This is *exactly* the problem. Here are my AT&T HSPA+ speeds on my GSM Galaxy Nexus:

From my house -- 5 mb/s

From random place in the west part of the city -- 10 mb/s

From downtown at 10 PM -- 5 mb/s

BUT, from downtown during the business day, when it matters -- 0.5 mb/s

It's what I call the football game effect. At a football game, AT&T phones get basically zero service, whereas Verizon's CDMA network is capable of normal speeds. Downtown has that same issue during the day, as will any crowded area (shopping mall, etc).

This is the reason why I'm likely going to switch to Verizon if they ever release the phone. Enjoying LTE has less to do with the crazy 50 mb/s speeds than it does with enjoying reasonable speeds even in crowded areas. I'll still keep the GSM phone for international travel, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
I wanted a GSM device and I didn't want anything a carrier had a chance to mess with. This meant importing. Yeah, I paid about $750, but it was worth it. I get updates prompt from Google, I don't worry about carrier apps that can't be uninstalled, I can change phones whenever I want without having to call or get permission from my carrier, and I'm stuck on AT&T for a while anyway.

I'm very happy with my purchase. Honestly, with the VZW one, you'll be tied in to a contract anyway. You'll end up paying more than the phone's cost over that time regardless. The GSM import is just more up front. And if you can get WiFi fairly often, then it's worth it to go with the cheaper plan.

Also, to reply to the poster above me: I haven't had any issues with speed in Boston on AT&T. It seems pretty consistent. Maybe your area is more of a problem area? I know a lot of people hate on AT&T, but I've found their network to be quite stable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias.alberto:
Making the story as short as possible: I wanted to install CM7, so I factory-resetted my AT&T Captivate (with Android 2.1), what caused lots of force closes on every process and market wouldn't download anything. Tried to install the most recent version of gapps available on cyanogenmod wiki, but all it did was delete the old apks without putting anything on their place. Now I don't have market, gmail, gtalk and not even the web browser. Phone is still rooted, but as soon as I open the terminal emulator it force-closes.

Before resetting the phone, I backed up everything with ROM Manager and also Titanium Backup. But I don't know what to do with these backups, since I don't have android market and can't install any app to begin recovery. What should I do?

I'll be glad to provide more details if needed, just ask me. Thanks in advance. :)

EDIT: Just to show I've done my reading before asking: I guess I'll have to use Odin to re-flash the phone, but I'm not sure if this is the best method. I've already messed up and I don't want to make it worse, so I though I should ask before doing anything else. On the Odin tutorial I found, they used I897UCJF6 but I have no idea if this will work with my I897UCJH7. Maybe I could flash the gapps again if I found a version for Eclair (which I have searched and downloaded, but the recovery menu won't install it, just showing "installation aborted" - should I search and download other versions?). Maybe I could build the gapps zip again using the apks from Titanium Backup. I've also tried to reset and wipe the phone again, but nothing would restore the gapps.

Some other info that might be useful.

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: I897UCJH7

Kernel version: 2.6.29

Build number: ECLAIR.UCJH7
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you can get into recovery, do a restore from their. Since you backed up using ROM Manager you will be able to restore that backup with CWM. I don't use CWM, so I'm not sure of the exact wording of the option.

Once you've restored, you should be able to then flash CM7 and gapps. You should redownload in case you had a bad download. Check the md5 if you want extra peace of mind. Also be sure that you're wiping properly and that what you're flashing is compatible with your device.

As phones vary so much, I can't offer much further assistance. It's a place to start though.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias.alberto:
Well, I guess yesterday I was too tired to think, I just ended up panicking and couldn't think of anything to do. Luckily, thanks to your suggestion I could realize what I had to do. I'll explain for others who might have this same problem and find this topic via Google.

As I had clockworkmod installed previously, there was a folder called clockworkmod on the root of my sdcard. Inside of it, there's a zip called recovery-update.zip. Just copy it to the root of the sdcard and rename it to update.zip. Using the 3 button combo (hold volume up & down while booting), I could get to the recovery menu and chose the option to reinstall updates from sdcard, which led me to clockworkmod recovery menu. Then, I just had to choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and select the cyanogenmod_rom.zip. A couple minutes later, my phone was booting cyanogenmod, so I just had to restart it on recovery mode and redo the last steps again to install the google apps. \o/

Once again, plainjane, thanks for the enlightenment! :D

[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
This is nice!

A few suggestions:

- Less icon spacing. Should fit at least 5 on the screen at once.

- No vibrate icon. It's unnecessary. Holding the power button works fine.

- Brightness control.
[Atrix 4G General] crossxn:
Thank you. Well done :)
[Atrix 4G General] kzkalra:
Hi can I install this on rooted locked atrix on 2.3.4!? I'm on UK retail. The thanks
[Atrix 4G General] AndroidON:
Wow. This is what I wanted.

Thank you :)
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
I'm on a rooted US ATT 2.3.4. How can I get this to install? I tried abd install, that didn't work...

--Q

EDIT: I think I figured it out. You have to go into /system/app and rename SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex to have .bak then copy the modified SystemUI.apk and then chmod 644 it. Rebooting now...will keep you posted!

EDIT2: Yep! Totally worked! GENIUS!! :D THANKS!
[Atrix 4G General] kzkalra:
Do I really need to use adb or can do chmod by using some tool on phone?
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
You can do all this with Root Explorer if you have it. Same idea.
[Atrix 4G General] malfuncion:
I think the OP is trying to edit the SystemUI.apk to include more functions. If so, may take a look here. Not sure if that will help too much or not...?

for the other posting people, here's what I have been running for a while..

basically Darkside's stock SystemUI with a theme hacked together from thread mentioned above as well. MIUI Icon set I think is what he says...

To install:

Download file to C: or where ever(if downloaded to someplace else, fix path in the commands below).

Start Menu --> Run --> cmd

On Windows 7 (or XP): hold the Windows Key on keyboard and press R together. Input CMD and hit OK

On Linux: well, you know whats up ;)

On MAC: unplug the computer and toss it out the window.. j/k. This wont work for you though. Follow normal procedure to use ADB in your teminal

Inside CMD Prompt, in this order:

adb push C:\SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk

adb shell

su

/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system

cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk

exit

exit

adb reboot

[Atrix 4G General] Shaydar:

The Screen is so bright that I always set the brightness to its lowest.
[Atrix 4G General] CyberPunk7t9:
Many many thanks! This needs to be in new thread. please post it or I will. :)

I really liked the darkside ROM, But I soft bricked my phone at least 15 times trying Arabic letters connecting solutions under 2.3.5. So I flashed the Aura ROM missing the quick panel from the Darkside ROM the most.

Not only I have the quick panel now with Aura 2.3.4, the icons also look cleaner/better.

Great job. Thanks to you and Nottach also!
[Atrix 4G General] Abu-7abash:
Any chance you upload your version and share it? I'm looking for exactly the same thing and sadly 2.3.5 Darkside ain't providing that.
[Atrix 4G General] CyberPunk7t9:
It's just the latest Aura ROM (found in the development section) + this awesome quick panel MOD.

Aura is based on 2.3.4. I noticed that arabic fonts were connecting properly in the system+browser with Aura ROM as-is. No framework.jar or lebwebcore.is hacks are needed with that ROM.

Root+Battery % icons MOD+No carrier logo MOD+proper Arabic font connecting+this quick panel MOD is pretty much what I want now in my Atrix. Currently happy to have all that. :)

Not to mention a lot of other plus features Aura ROM adds.
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
Hi,

I was using this mod on 2.3.4 and it was great! Just upgraded to Android OS 2.3.6 (att build 4.5.141) and it just boot loops until I replace it back with the original. Is there any way to modify this to work on 2.3.6? Or, is there a version around that I'm not finding that will work on 2.3.6?

Thanks!

Hi guys, My phones working semi ok now .. Just one question

When ever I leave my phone to charge it just chooses when it wants to charge!

It just drains sometimes when on USB or while using the wall charger ...

I know it can't be a USB problem because I can flash Kernels and Stock firmware with ease and no error .. and also I rooted without any hassles .. Any Ideas ? :\
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrat55:
What rom are you using? I had that issue with Wolfs rom. It would be plugged and charging, would reach 100% and stop charging and decrease till around 95% and then charge again to 100%. Its not a big deal really unless it really goes down by a lot. I kept happening but never caused any problems.

I switched to MIUI based rom and now it doesnt happen and battery is much better tbh.

now I'm trying oodie's MIUI ..

This is also my second battery, but not from Sony
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrat55:
Dunno man, try to use you battery (normal use) to 0% and let the phone shut down by it self, do that a couple of times so the battery stats are reset for sure.

I am on Crowds MIUI rom and my battery last for like 13H+ with a very good daily use. And i dont have any random discharges problems. Try it out if you want.

- Captain Scrat

EDIT: btw when you install a new rom its normal that the batt discharges fast, it needs to get "acquainted" with the rom because diff roms have diff tweaks and optimizations.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That is not a problem, it is a feature included on purpose to help extend the battery life. If it is not doing that on MIUI roms then your battery wont last a slong...its a stock feature from SE themselves...

Is there a way to keep the over scroll glow(and possibly change the color) and then add the bounce to it? Where are the slider(like when you go in settings>volume>all volumes) bars colors located in the actual System(i am theming for a ROM)This is for KK4 deodexed.

Thanks guys and gals!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Don't think you can have glow AND bounce, not sure though.

The glow is 2 images in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi

The progress bars are in the same apk,

It will need to be decompiled and the file you're looking is /res/drwable/progress_horizontal.xml edit it with notepad++

You will see 3 rows of 3 hex code colors. The top row doesn't matter, you need to edit the bottom most 6

Start = top of bar

Center is the middle

End = bottom of the bar.

So there will be 2 of each of those, and only change the last 6 numbers of the color code leave the first 2 alone.

Sounds a little much but once you get in there and see what i mean it's simple.

Hi all,

This is my first theme using the UOT Kitchen. I recreated the stock Gingerbread status bar as well as the overscroll that you see in lists. I tried to get it as stock as possible. This includes the gingerbread icons and battery icon and black status bar.

There are two versions available. The first is the most stock, with the normal orange overscroll, and the other version has an android green overscroll instead (which I prefer). Everything else remains the same.

They are based off the stock framework but should work for all 3.0 Amaze ROMs.

Flash these like you would a normal ZIP in CWM recovery. And always make a backup before flashing anything!

Let me know what you think.

With the flurry of ROMs available, but not alot of time to really tinker, evaluate, troubleshoot etc, I'm looking for a real no brainer ROM to flash. CM7 seems to be so popular, but I cant understand why since I hear of so many things that are "broken" like GPS, etc.

I'm obviously a noob to this, wondering why CM7 is such a winner in the community?

As far as the gps goes, browse around the forums here, plenty of options of fixes...but I recently went to the evo deck rom, its another aosp running 2.3.7, found it to be much cleaner and less buggy than cm7, and it still offers the different theming which imo is what makes cm7 legit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelkus:
I've only been rooted for a couple of weeks and went with CM7.1 stable because of its notoriety and large set of peers. That way there are a lot of people in your shoes if you run into issues, though I've had things go really smooth so far.

I flashed the GPS fix and that was easy. I can't really think of anything else that was "broken." Since then, I've flashed a Tiamat kernel and replaced the CWM Revolutionary recovery with the new Amon_RA recovery (3.08). It's very fast and stable in my experience... plus it looks really nice.
