why don't you actually try what i said before dismissing it, imbecile? sheesh, some people like to make things overly complicated and have yet more processes they dont need running on their phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thinkpanda:
No, I did not dismiss your solution. On the contrary, I do really appreciate the OGG+ANDROID_LOOP way to solve the ringtone issue :) I apologize if I give you an impression that I don't like it.

It just turn out that I see this thread after I have finished the app... :p

As a ordinary user point of view, I like your solution more than mine. But there are scenarios that it is not always easy to convert a ringtone to OGG from MP3 and add a flag on the street. (may be someone develop an app for that? :D)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I found it easier to convert the file in Audacity and in the save dialog box you can add a new field called ANDROID_LOOP and set it to 'True'

Worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tao980:
Thank you all for the very useful information I have found in this thread. I have a question though: is this also applicable for alarms, or just for actual ringtones? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
I was "served" with this issue too with my brand new Galaxy Nexus. The ring tones I use are already in OGG format, just lacked the ANDROID_LOOP tag. Instead converting them again with Audacity, I found a little proggie which can just edit the tags. Here is a link to the download location - http://www.gausi.de/flogger-en.html

Sources are included as well as pre-compiled version (just exe to start - no installation or anything - very simple). Precompiled one is in German, but isn't difficult to figure out. Worked for me like a charm to make my ring tones looping. Thanks for the ANDROID_LOOP tip!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
hmm...not sure about alarms, the ones i took off my old N900 repeat OK when the alarm goes off so i dont know if it's just rings tones, why not give it a try and see for youself? :D

Not like you have to wait for your usual alarm to test it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
And for the linux guys (like me) this is a simple batch command that will convert a mp3 file to a an ogg auto-repeat ringtone:

mpg321 custom_ringtone.mp3 -w raw && oggenc raw -c "ANDROID_LOOP=TRUE" -o custom_ringtone.ogg ; rm -f raw
[General Questions and Answers] Dasadorah:
Hello,

I'm a noob a tech but I know cell phones have IMEI Code but can a contest get that IMEI Code to know you voted to many times for contest which will be cheating? I know from my PC they will know from IP Address or even if I got a proxy for it. So how would I get away with it by cell phone internet?

If so, is there a cell phone with web that is not traceable at all?
[General Questions and Answers] ABorgh:
Internet contest track id by IP number. Even if it is a phone, not by the IMEI
[General Questions and Answers] Dasadorah:
Thank you for your answer! But do you know if its IP only or is it IP with Cell Phone Carrier and/or your phone number?
[General Questions and Answers] ABorgh:
I am quite certaine that is ip only

I have a small crack in my screen that makes my menu button go crazy every so often. I have the protection plan so it is covered, but should I flash back to stock before I go in?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I ordered a replacemnt for my phone and it comes Thursday I'm just looking for a stock ei22 theme or rom without anything especially not the 10 lock mod I need just stock so I can return it anyone know where to find it? I looked in the threads and couldn't find anything can someone please lead me to it

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
The first version of mostly stock is a completely stock, but deodexed rom I think. You would have to flash a stock kernel I think so it doesn't display a kernel id in about phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
They won't really check that deep in it to see if it is the ppl r cool but they can't have anything obvious on the phone like the notification bar and stuff

But thankss
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
Hey all..

Been a while since I posted but this seems to be a big issue with everyone publishing different answers so I contacted Asus themselves for a clarification.

Notice no mention of dock only and I mentioned the tablet only in my email.

I'm hyped again. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
2 speaks in 1 spot.. or 1 speaker with 2 drivers.. which does not sound right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
I think this was confirmed a looong time ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
Not according to Engadget who are still stating one speaker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
wait... what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
No idea exactly how it's implimented.. but there are two speakers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
Waaaaa... if theres 2 speakers in the same spot that would SUCK!

where is this info?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think it's been pretty much confirmed (i.e., it's in the manual that ASUS has posted) that the Prime only has one speaker location. It's questionable as to how genuine a "stereo" effect ASUS can generate with two speakers in the same location, and I believe a tear-down of an engineering sample showed only one speaker.

What's less clear is whether the Prime still puts out decent sound, for a tablet. Some reviews have stated that sound is full and loud, others have stated that sound isn't that great.

I don't think any of us will know what the Prime's audio quality is, particularly for our specific uses, until we have one in our hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
The quote from my op was an email from Asus support.

I think the confusion arises from engadet mistaking the ventilation grill as the speaker grill.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Someone Walkin':
You mean the manual that engadet are hosting and they still state only one speaker... hardly a clear confirmation of anything.

Either way, I just thought I'd mention it... how you validate my info is up to you, I'm not going to argue about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jwigginton:
Here is a tear down - http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/2011/11/02/asus-transformer-prime-gets-torn-down-kal-el-pictured/

Looks like the 3rd and 4th pics maybe speakers??? Can't really tell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
There's been a tear down? Got a link? Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Um, no. Here's a link to the manual:

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/TF201_EManual_en_20111117.pdf

Note on page 14, where it points at the single location and says:

And, yeah: the Prime has no ventilation grill. That would be quite odd for a tablet using a mobile processor, where heat isn't supposed to be an issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
There is one speaker grill. Have two speakers under one grill is pointless. I'm assuming there is one STEREO (two channel) speaker.

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/TF201_EManual_en_20111117.pdf
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Here's one link to the teardown, but elsewhere on this forum someone mentioned that it looked like there's only one speaker. I'm not sure if it's clear from these particular shots.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
Wondering if it uses something like the BOSE audio systems.

http://www.besttabletpcsreviews.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-tf201-tablet-pc.html
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Thanks. I'm more interested in the location of the wifi antenna. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
stereo or not, the speaker is the best ive tested on any tablet PERIOD.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Why are you even listening to what engadget says. They got a bunch of things wrong such as not being able to turn off touchpad. Get the spec from asus. They mentioned themselves that it was stereo speakers. Now maybe it's in very close to each other I don't know we'll see when we get it. Maybe it's tilted slightly when in portrait mode.

Proverbial horse's mouth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CandyNJ66:
I see only 1 speaker grill on my prime but sound is very good. Will listen to some good music etc but sounds good to me!

Sound is only coming from the one right speaker grill but im no audiophile expert. Baffled by the 1 grill

Edit The manual that came with my Prime, says this:

"Audio speaker system- The built in Stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments.

Audio features are software controlled"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
For those that have a Prime already, have you found that your ears can approximate where the sound is coming from? Or perhaps more clearly, does the right side of the tablet sound louder than the left?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CandyNJ66:
The right side for sure unless there is a preference I havent spotted yet. Only had a chance to see it under 2 hrs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ericc191:
It's probably just a single speaker and Asus is claiming it has a "stereo" effect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CandyNJ66:
The manual never says stereo SpeakerS but stereo speaker as in Singular. Mut be a stereo like effect but honestly, Im not really hearing it . The warranty card mentions SoncMaster technology under"Supreme Sound"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
In any case, the difference seems to be quite substantial, based on what Asus Taiwan had showed..

Also, the speaker does seem to have a larger response curve based on these graphs compared to the ipad and galaxy tab..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
I'm sorry but I don't understand what that means...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
It is an idiom meaning getting information straight from someone knowledgeable of the situation.

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/from+the+horse's+mouth
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
was that supposed to be good or bad lol?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
Response curves tell you how well a signal processing system responds to an input signal. Larger frequency response curves are better on speakers since that means that you have less attenuation on the output signals over larger set of frequencies. The flatter the signal from a sound source between 20-20KHz the "cleaner" the sound will be reproduced with no sudden changes in output power levels and hence abrupt changes in the volume with respect to frequency. Prime seems to have a smoother response, and theoretically should be better.

Ofcourse normal speaker drivers have what is known as transient region where the sound output drops off- on the right of that graph, ie. at higher frequencies generally above 9KHz since the drivers can not oscillate well. Again prime seems to do better there..atleast theoretically.

Low frequency sounds still seem to be badly reproduced (at the left of the bode plot).

[Intercept General] sharkgoal:
While i am a noob for Android/Smartphones, I am kinda a geek for pc's... With that in mind, I ask: Why doesn't someone create a program that can be downloaded and placed on a SD card that will run during a smartphones boot up that will start the phone in a "Safe mode" and allow users to fix them.

I currently have a Samsung that keeps freezing when the logo appears. I have attempted to perform a "Soft reset" but it still freezes. I don't know were to turn, so here I am....

I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum... Any help with were i should go from here will be greatly appreciated.
[Intercept General] chaos5338:
try charging it and turning it on....or try to repeatedly take out the battery and then turning it back on.....it happens sometimes one mine
[Intercept General] newboyx:
You also could run a logcat to see where the phone is hanging.

Are you running stock?
[Intercept General] penguinrepair:
will the phone go to download-mode? hold the volume-/camera/power for about 10secs it should get to a download screen so it can be reflashed, otherwise... well you know...
[Intercept General] Kirk_the_jerk:
Sometimes this startup hanging happens for me & it will only boot w/o the SD card. Give that a shot.
[Intercept General] stefanlasiewski:
This happens to me several times a month. The only solution that works consistently for me is:

1. Remove the battery

2. Wait for several minutes (Seems that some component needs to cool down, or capacitors need to drain, or something)

3. Then plug the battery back in

4. Reboot
[Intercept General] Gfabmag:
i have found that when you hold down the Phone button for about a minute or so after you remove the battery , the phone will vibrate , do not remove your finger until the phone vibrates ...and it should boot from there.
[Intercept General] Markuus2107:
Solution

I was talking to a tech rep at Virgin Mobile one day, and asked him if this was a common problem (knowing already that it was). Sparing you the details, what he told me is that when the intercept boots up, something gets jammed up with the 3G. And then the phone locks in the flashing logo phase. Now, EVERY single time I shut my phone down, I put it in airplane mode. It then reboots in airplane mode, and I almost never have a problem (meaning two or three times in the last 6 months). When is does happen, I reboot it again, and it boots right up. I presume that if need be, take it into a place with no signal and reboot it then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forchellam:
Hey guys, I'm currently on a Virgin Mobile Galaxy Nexus on Fido, and have yet to receive an update to ITL41F.I9250UGKL1

So far I've been hearing only of Bell Galaxy Nexus owners getting this update in Canada.

Is there anyone with Virgin Mobile that received their update?

I'm currently on ITL41D.19250UGKK7

Update: Woke up this morning, checked for update, and there it was, ITL41F.I9250UGKL1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Tone:
Doesn't google roll out based on IMEI number? I think it's luck of the draw to when you'll actually get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
Same here: Virgin Mobile GN on Fido. Still ITL41D.UGKK7 right now. My device is a yakjuux build (I believe it's the same for all Bell/Virgin Mobile users too).

I almost flashed the stock Google images yesterday (ITL41F.XXKK1 / original yakju build), but decided to wait for an actual OTA. I don't think it's a good idea to revert to the default XXKK1 baseband. The versions I tend to see in Canada (either UGKK7 or newer UGKL1) seem to work better here.

Anyone else able to chime in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swapnil:
Got a virgin mobile GN with ITL41D. I am using a mobilicity sim card with it (don't think that would affect an update though). No updates yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Just got my OTA on the a stock Bell GN

How does one identify a yakju build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
Go with file explorer (es file explorer, root explorer,astro etc etc) in /system/build.prop and open in it.Try to find the line ro.build.fingerprint=...... check what it writes after that.If it writes google/yakju/maguro etc etc then you are on yakju
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
I got the update notification yesterday on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Nexus. Of course, I couldn't apply it since I'm rooted with CWM and all that. Anyone have a URL yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Could someone dump the UGKL1 radio please? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swapnil:
Just got an update on my stock Virgin Mobile Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
Is this part of the packaged images google provides?

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
NO. The radio provided in those images is XXKK1. I would like the UGKL1 radio (or the URL for the update from someone's logcat) from those who managed to get the OTA on a yakjuux build (which is what all the Bell- and Virgin-sold devices are running).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
Do you know what is different betweeen these radio images? XXKK1 and UGKL1?

Another method commonly used to obtain OTA files:

OTA files are generally first downloaded to the /cache. If somebody with root access downloads the OTA, before they attempt to apply it, they can adb pull the .zip file from the /cache directory and post online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Based on this, it would seem that:

1) the XXKK1 radio is localized for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom, while the UGKL1 radio is localized for North America; and

2) The UGKL1 radio is newer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Pretty new at android but yea

UG is north america

KK/KL is the date in YM format where the letter represents the number of the year or month. K = 11, L = 12 so KK is 2011/11, KL is 2011/12

The 1 on the end is the revision number.

XXKK1 is the first revision in november for region XX (west europe)

UGKL1 is the first revision in december for region UG (north america)

If noone else dumps I will eventually. I want a copy of this baseband for my own purposes. It may be some time for me though as I am still learning about SDK/ADB/Fastboot/Root and I am trying to learn the long way instead of just using the quick apps.

Can anyone tell me am I able to combine ROM with different basebands? Like for example if I want the straight YAKJU build can I still use UGKL1? It seems so from my reading but I'm looking for confirmation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you can combine any radio with any ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
As efrant said above, you can combine a ROM with a specific baseband. Just flash the correct filenames in the right order (bootloader, then radio, then image).

The steps would roughly go like this:

fastboot-windows oem unlock

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio UGKL1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip

fastboot oem lock

Hi forchellam!

I am on Fido too. Could you tell me if Name Display is working properly? I have only CallerID (phone number).

Thank you!

What about you, JLishere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
congrey,

Only people in my contacts have called me so far (so the name only came up because they were already stored). I'll do a test with an outside caller and let you know as soon as I find out.

Have you tried calling Fido and making them reset Name Display? (removing and re-switching the service on)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] congrey:
JLishere

Not yet. I called and asked why it's doesn't work but received expected answer 'contact with manufacturer'....

Does resetting gonna help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Interesting. Your update notice says "Galaxy Nexus" and mine said "Nexus Prime" which I thought was a bit strange...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
i flashed a rom before checking what version gn i have so build.prop is different then stock, but my bell gn did come with KK7 baseband not KL1. is there any way for me to tell without flashing my original backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you bought it from Bell, then you had a yakjuux build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forchellam:
I only had people in my contact list contact me as well, so I decided to remove my home phone number and test if it works, and it only shows up as :

"905-XXX-XXXX

Markham, ON"

No name attached to it.

Though honestly, this feature usually never works for me. I often find that if it's some business or organization calling, it shows up with the name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:

Thanks phazerorg

--update--

Just flashed the update. Went from ITL41D.UGKK4 to ITL41F.UGKL1, no problem (the file is indeed for yakjuux builds). What's amazing is my download speeds have gone from 2.0 Mps in average, to 3.0 Mps on Fido's HSPA network in Montreal, which is great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope. The yakjuux shipping baseband is the same: everyone had ugkk7. Now, with the update, some are on ugkl1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Thanks for your responses.

I have some follow up questions I hope you can help.

1. My Bootloader seems to be newer than the official Yakju boot loader. Are these swappable as well?

2. How can I dump my bootloader? I was able to dump my boot, recovery, radio, efs on my own but I can't figure out the bootloader location.

3. If I want to update the image to yakju do I also have to flash the bootloader and the radio? or can i just update the image? I ask because I already have the radio, and bootloader I want (PRIMEKK14).

4. What are the requirements for receiving OTA? If I keep my Canadian baseband and bootloader but grab the Yakju build...will I get the AOSP OTAs? I'm getting the impression for OTA's I need all 3 parts to be in sync. So I either have to go

YAKJUUX + PRIMEKK14 + UGKL1 (all Samsung Canada)

or

YAKJU + PRIMEKJ10 + XXKK1 (all Google AOSP)

Thanks in advance. Any comments on this would greatly be appreciated.
