I was told that Verizon employees were getting Ice Cream Sandwiches tomorrow for what its worth....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BFirebird101:
Even if they delay, it is already so late, it will be so easy to swindle some store out of it since there's no way to get that information to everybody within this short amount of time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
It sucks for me because I'm attached to my sister's employee account, and we can only upgrade through the website/calling their employee sales line. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea they've already had training. I've talked to a bunch of stores around here and they've all completed it as of Monday last week. They all told me they already had all their shipments (30-60 phones) for the 9th. It was pushed back but my Verizon store CALLED me last night and asked if I was still interested in the Galaxy Nexus because they are going live on Thursday.

The store had a running list of people's names and numbers interested in the Nexus and said they'd call when they knew of the day. They didn't call last week when it was pushed so I'm sure they wouldn't call the entire list of people and tell them it would be available tomorrow if it wouldn't be. There is no reason to not release it tomorrow. Last week they had the LTE issue.

Regardless, I have a SGN on hold available for me tomorrow from a corp Verizon store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
this week it's the "we need to push the white RAZR" issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RVDigital:
I'm in the EXACT same boat as you! I'm attached to the website. If you hear anything, please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djkinetic:
poor vzw users getting trolled by Verizon =( thats the one great thing about GSM carriers, if you have the money buy it unlocked and pop in your sim =) regardless welcome to the Nexus party!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hulsey:
Yesterday I received a call from my local VZW store to set up my appointment to pick up my Nexus on Thursday. Today I sent a text to my contact and that same store to confirm and got this........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
and Verizon doesn't like releasing stuff on friday(unless it's a special Motorola occasion)... so if it's not tomorrow it's not this week. weee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
You got it! I've been hounding my sister (VZW employee) for any information. She's pretty high in VZW, but she's either a) not giving me anything b) doesn't know anything.

You let me know if you hear anything, too! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I just texted my Verizon guy and said to reserve a galaxy nexus and an extended battery for tomorrow because I can't make it before 6pm (stupid thing called work) and he said no problem. He said he set one aside with my name on it and it'll be here tomorrow.

This was all just within the last 15min.

The simulator is now live... looking good for tomorrow ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raibyn:
Sweet, that's a positive sign!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hulsey:
Either way, unless he calls me back and tells me to be there tomorrow I guess I will be waiting until Friday or whenever they decide to release it.I wish the rest of you luck tomorrow! weeeeeeeeee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
yeah i'm familiar with the 'set one aside' game considering i had a GN set aside for me last week and was in the middle of getting rung up for it when i was denied.

hopefully Verizon really will release it tomorrow and is just keeping 'hush hush' about it because they want the white RAZR to do well..

sort of like with the Rezound, it was a 'hush hush' last-minute thing also because the RAZR was just released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I just sent a text to the guy that activated my rent-a-RAZR and he said they will be selling it tomorrow. fingers cross
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
apparently 4.0.2 is also starting to be pushed today as well according to some users who have them already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Ya...I'd definitely call the stores tomorrow before you guys go in. No store has received *official* release date information. I have friends that range from district managers (to large markets, not rural areas) to corporate managers...every single one of them has said they haven't seen an official date. They all pretty much said the same thing: If you've seen a date, it's not from Verizon. Any dates you see are speculation.

Unless Verizon is only telling certain people...nobody has received a date.

My VZW rep just called. She told me her store was just told the phone is on sale tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i love how the 'support simulator' and all the news you guys are posting here show up in google news AFTERWARDS... heh.

freakin' google news trolls
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Weezal657:
So my quick story. Based off of a couple other people I went ahead and called around the area to see what the stores are saying. The first was a big vz store and the person read off a script saying that he knew nothing and did know when it would be released. The second said next week, but sounded like she pulled it out of her a**. The third was one of the premier vzw stores and said that it will be released tmw and that he was getting the shipment in tmw by noon.

So I went to the store because he would reserve one for me if I bought a $50 gift card. I asked him again at the store what his toughts were if it really would get released based off of all the trolls and pushbacks. He said that he had gotten an email that stated he was allowed to sell them as soon as they get to the store and that the UPS shipment that comes in tmw had 10 nexus phones in it.

Will all of this happen, no clue, but figured just in case it does I would rather throw down $50 just in case.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I've seen that. As far as I'm concerned, all that means is "it's ready when it's ready" and I think they'll release it tomorrow. They wouldn't want to commit to anything that would potentially hurt the sales of the razr, now would they?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
oh yea? how come i didnt get it? ive been checking for updates nothing yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I'm not a violent man, but I want to punch every random Verizon employee I see right in the mouth. They're usually pretty rude and snobbish anyway, but this just puts the icing on the cake for me. Verizon employees realize that they have their customers base by the balls and they're completely fine with it. They couldn't care less about how their customers feel, because they know they can't actually do anything about it.

I hope this phone launches tomorrow...not only because I'll be glad to have the phone, but also so I can go the next 2 years without ever speaking to a Verizon employee. That's a huge bonus to me.

And because I want the frickin phone. This Rezound blows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Not everyone has hence why I said "starting to be pushed" if you want more info look here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i think that's true about most cell phone stores. when i was on t-mobile, the local t-mob store was the same way... big time snobs & very rude... and yes, my local verizon is the same way to.

the only time i deal with easy going/laid back employees is if i go to some indepedent mom-n-pop style cell phone shop(the ones that sell used/unlocked phones & provide repair/unlocking services, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I didn't even think about it since I rarely dealt with AT&T retail employees, but I guess you're right...thought about this past month when preparing to leave AT&T and the employees were complete dolts to me.

So my vzw rep that said that he was getting it in tmw just called. He said that his main rep just called and said that though he will be getting it in tmw he is not allowed to sell it until it is released, in which the main rep didn't give a date too. I am now getting really close to just saying screw it and buying the RAZR.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mean Bro Greene:
More or less, don't trust anything a rep says. 3 reps in the same store told me different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Dont buy the damn razr. That's exactly what they want you to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Exactly !!! Weve waited this long you can dooooo eet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sglasgowaz:
No go

I called two verizon stores in my area and both of them said it isn't on sale tomorrow. I went into a Go Wireless store that is a Verizon reseller who said they expected a shipment tomorrow, but they did not have them in stock.

So many variations....

UPDATE:

Just had my phone number absorbed into the Verizon Family account. This is required if coming from another carrier. Once the phone number is part of the Verizon account, the phone can be ordered and shipped overnight. I'm stuck using my work phone (lame feature phone) for a day, but no biggie. Just wanted to give you an update. Make sure you get all of this out of the way before ordering if you're not already on the plan. Going to place the order at 11pm Arizona Time/1AM Eastern.

Here is my problem:

When i am in putty, I don't have enough time to type in the command before the nooter disk boots up and my putty session becomes inactive.

Does anyone know how to copy and paste the commands into putty, or an alternate way to fix the BootCnt file?

I found a fix. I made a bootable image of cwr on an sd card, wiped fresh, then installed new zip.

No issues here.

There is a new modem as well

sorry are you talking about the rom if that is what you are talking about, I just updated the modem.

Im using el13 modem,kernal,rom without issues...no lag and havent had issues with games closing either....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
They have the tar and clockwork flashable version. Been running all day with no issues so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Early to tell but the biggest thing I notice is wifi signal strength for me is much better. I would get 1 bar of wifi on my bed on all prior versions and right now I have 3 bars. Other than that I haven't done any major testing. If I leave my phone on all night when I get up in the morning I have to turn my wifi off to get data back. I can then enable wifi and be good. That happened often before EK02 and now it only does it every morning. So tomorrow morning I will know if it is fixed. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else but haven't done any testing either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Coolfor ya but. Was just gonna post link to EL13 to show ya modem.

Tryout EL13 see how it is for ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Yeah it is showing more bars but half the time here on XDA it hangs and I have stop and refresh to wake it up. Also on speedtest it hung 2 outa 3 times for me. But more bars showing. No Idea? Speed is the same though, when it does not hang.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
No lockups for me so far. I have been on xda most of the day and just ran 4 speedtest's and no problems.

Hey thanks for the info. Im gonna dig a bit.see what my prob is. Sounds like its just me.

You are welcome and don't sweat it. Glad to provide any info I can.

My wifi actually seems worse, actually disconnected a couple of times. I'm only on the el13 modem tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, I have found myself leaving Wifi on 24/7 and when I leave, 4g connects instantly. When I walk back in my place, Wifi picks right back up. Considering I am pulling Wifi from my downstairs tenant, maybe I would be a good person to test if the range/signal strength is better on the leak..decisions decisions

My wifi hasnt changed but my signal has went from 2 bars up to 4 using el13....

Sent from my fingertips to youre eyeballs.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Ok all I guess the third time is the charm. wifi is much better and no more browser lag. The only thing I did differently was my oldschool 3 cash wipes and 3 dalvic cash wipes. No more auto wipes for me.

Ohai there!

I want to root my SGS2, and I'm going to use CF root

Problem is, that I don't know what modified kernel I should download. I think I've narrowed it down to two choices, but I'm afraid to just try one in case I brick my phone.

Here's a Screenshot of my "about phone" page:

Which of these kernels should I use?:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-42-v4.2-CWM4.zip

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Just rebooted my phone after trying a bootanimation.zip (which didn't work)

It was called "call of android" and had an "android" folder instead of "part0/part1"

normal stuff, I just tried renaming android to part0 and the same in the desc.txt file

anyway----

When I rebooted my phone (doubt anything to do with bootanimation.zip) it said in the notification bar "+" and in the pull down "You have 3 new flirts"

The + was green, anyway I clicked it thinking "uhhh?" and it opened a webpage "affiliate.add" soemthing, then i closed it, the page didn't load.

What is this and why is it on my phone? I don't play games, I come to XDA, and I use apps as tools not toys. Where'd this come from? Can I upload something from my phone that would be more detailed/help? (App list or something)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ensomniacc:
I get this too, its certain apps, they do push notification ads. I still am trying to figure out which app is doing it for me..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
Use Addons Detector. Works like a charm everytime! :)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
am I looking for "push notifications" ? thats what pops up atop my screen?

"Mp3 Music download" uses AirPush

Whats AdMob ? I hate all these ads in apps, no one clicks them except on accident. Useless as PC ads too bad I can't figure out how to use the adblock plus app on my phone. I read there is host files that "block" ads, do they remove all the visible junk in apps and web?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
Yes push notifications are the apps that give you notification spam.

Admob ads and such can mostly be blocked with hosts files. If you don't want to flash any rooms just use AdAway. You will need to be rooted to use it.

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adaway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I'm already rooted, running 12081022_exp kernel by entroy and Lite'ning Rom v6.1

Can I still put a host file in there? Whats the host file exactly?

Cool! Adaway did a hot reboot (its not under my power off options) How can I get my phone to hotreboot? :D Good ol boot anim :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
AdAway modifies your host file for ad blocking with the least background consumption, sooooo you're all set.

As for that hot reboot, no idea
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Airpush Detector is specifically designed to target notification ads. Just uninstall the offending app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
I installed and use that boot anim as well as another guy who requested it. Don't think it was the ba.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Not even possible. It's an app that was installed. The bootanimation only contains images.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
It was not the bootanim :) I deleted "Free Mp3 Download" app that was using "AirPush"

Do I have to turn on the Webserver for adaway to work? It removed the Ad's in the bottom of my apps, SO NICE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
AdAway just downloads a new host file. Otherwise it is never actually running. I run it once every couple weeks tops, to check for updates.

So no, you don't need a internet connection to use AdAway. As long as you have at least updated once that is...

It's pretty much telling your ad's to go to something instead. Example:

ad.google.com will head to 127.0.0.1 - Since that is your local IP, and your not running a webserver, it will fail.

Hi,

I upgraded my phone with new software 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 (everything official) and everything is working fine execept one thing.

I can't use anymore mobile internet. WiFi is working ok, but as soon I turn it off there is no chance that I can get any data from net.

For mobile network is writen that it is conected, but still I can't use it.

Before upgrade everything worked great.

What should I do to make it work again?

Thank you ina advance for answers.

I have sideloaded Google Voice search and it works great with searches.

However, when I try to use voice input from the keyboard (Smart Keyboard Pro), all that comes up is a microphone with a slash through it, obviously indicating that the keyboard doesn't have access to the microphone.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suffeks:
any custom ringtone i try on the phone, whether .ogg .mp3 .wav will only ring once and stop repeating during the call, however the phone keeps vibrating on

stock tones work fine

another sidebug: if you have no bars and try to make a call, the phone gives you error saying to turn off airplane mode which it's not in

wtf??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doubleatheman:
I have the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeldada:
same here.. I want my custom ringtone to be used on my new GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
I've found that myself...

MP3 ringtones won't repeat.

It will loop ringtones if you convert the mp3 to OGG format, and in the file info (you can edit this in Winamp for example), create a field called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to TRUE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Where do you store the ogg file to use it for custom ring tones?

Bug or intentional... Hmm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
Funnily enough, in the folder called "ringtones" when you connect it up to your PC.

There's a seperate folder for notifications...

and there's also a seperate folder for alarms!

Fun isnt it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Interesting, so they're forcing us to use the OGG format.

Will the created field work on a regular MP3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
I had a look at that first but couldnt see anywhere it could go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sayan1987:
I don't use winamp, but itunes.

How can i edit the file info?

I can edit information about title, album, author..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesilent:
Could someone post a screenshot of the created field with winamp ?

:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Same issue here with a mp3 again as above.

Will try to create and edit the ogg later.

Oh, I cannot imagine OGG format can solve the problem. Before I see this, I write a really little app to solve the problem.

You guys can always use a program called "goldwave" to lengthen your mp3's. Copy and paste the mp3 until it's as long as you need...
