[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
I think it has to do with how GB utilizes the CPU/GPU. Much of the image processing is done by the CPU instead of the GPU exclusively so that bogs things down. Couple that with an under utilized dual core & it's a wonder it plays 720p as well as it does. ICS is supposed to solve every issue by enabling hardware acceleration & better utilization of dual core architecture.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evltwn72:
I wouldn't expect ICS to really improve battery life. The biggest battery killer in 4G LTE phones are the radios switching between the 3g and 4g. I guess that's a downfall of the CDMA network that VZW uses. I have the RAZR and I'm really enjoying it. Screen is beautiful. Coming from the DX, which I really like too, this phone is awesome.

Razr it is nice device without Dev:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
What do you mean?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bullswife98:
Have had the Razr for about two weeks now and loving it! Screen is beautiful, no dropped 3g or data issues (no 4g here yet so no issues there) no lag,battery is amazing with smart actions nice feature btw. Rooted, got rid of bloatware that Verizon puts on here which also improved battery life since the apps aren't running in the background. Loving it. Now just waiting on ICS ota to drop.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bebeau25:
Just got mine about 10 hours ago. Came from an evo with sprint. All I can say is WOW:) love the phone and love being with Verizon. I did like my evo but couldn't stand sprints slow data. This razor is awesome...still haven't rooted yet but will soon. I would definitely recommend this phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
What method did you go to root the Razr?

My wife will be really happy to hear that!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dbam987:
I've had my RAZR for roughly 9 days now, and am glad I picked it up instead of the Galaxy Nexus.

Positive Things:

Screen is awesome

Highly durable; great feel when holding it

Smart actions is a great feature

Polished implementation of Gingerbread OS

Data speed is amazing (13 Mb down / 6 Mb up)

Moto Blur mimics a few features from Ice Cream Sandwich

Moto Blur widgets are quite nice actually.

Can play high-end games very nicely.

Browser is awesome; haven't had the need to get an alternative yet.

Negative Things:

Has a few minor quirks, but an update is eminent to resolve them

Battery life is a bit short, but hopefully that upcoming update helps that. Smart actions helps prolong it too.

Smart actions could use more triggers and actions that can be performed; i'm looking to develop some add-ons to it if i can

Doesn't have Ice Cream Sandwich (yet), but Moto-Blur has a couple things that mimic it.

Overall, I love the Razr.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I'm starting this as I am pretty pissed off because of the lack of device compatibility information out there for accessories. I just got a white barely there case from casemate, and it's the most ill-fitting thing I've ever had. My GSM Nexus literally slides around in the case. That .5mm difference between the LTE and GSM versions is SUBSTANTIAL.

I quickly purchased some bestskinsever skins for my GSM GNex hoping that will make my Barely There case actually fit like it was meant to, by making my phone slightly fatter. Ridiculous, right? *ragequit*

So I ask you, please list the accessories that are a perfect fit or made SPECIFICALLY for the GSM Nexus.

Cases:

None at the moment.

Skins:

bestskinsever: Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus Total Body Skin @ $8.99

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxMakerxX:
hi,

guys.. i think i bricked my phone and it goes like this i will say it from the very start happening.

first, im using EWjet firmware quite a while and it ver 2.3.3 base 71 and it working fine just that battery ran out very fast, so i decieded wanna to change to another firmware so i saw this MIUI prime firmware it seem not bad so i wanna give a try. so i follow the instruction about the first time and than i find out that my ver and base 71 still can go install the firmware, so i downloaded and install, but who knows once i install and i reboot and it stuck at bootloader with the SONY ERICSSON sign in the middle of my phone screen and i tried go to recovery and it seem can't go through and it stuck so i think i bricked my phone. after this bricked i did go try the pc companion to repair my phone it not working and it say download error. and i also think tried flash with kernel downgrade and upgrade it not working too. PLEASE EXPERT HELP ME. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Ewjet MIUI etc are ROMs not firmwares. If pc companion or seus don't work then search for flashtool and use this to install global generic firmware. This will put ur phone back to how it was when u first got it :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxMakerxX:
hey laneyofdeath thanks for help and one more question where can i find this global generic firmware and after i flash it back. can i still able to rooted to MIUI rom again?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxMakerxX:
hey laneyofdeath i got it THANK you very much! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
No probs buddy

Edit: Also yeah u will need to start from beginning again though do u have backup (titanium or similar?). If not, you will have to re-install all apps from market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] princepilot:
Hi,

I have a Galaxy Nexus and have a few Q's...

1: Is there a way to up the brightness beyond max on the phone? Its nowhere near as bright as my old GS2

2: Why is there no way to do video calling on it? If i go into the phone part it just has a dial button. On my GS2 it had a dedicated video call button also. Surely google arent making everybody use google+ (also talk doesnt have a way to video call as far as i can see)

3: I still havent had the 4.0.2 update. If i downloaded the genuine software from google (http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html) is it just a case of going into ODIN and putting that file into the PDA tab? If so will it void my warranty?

What do I need?

Superboot : DOWNLOAD

Drivers: You will need to install this driver.

The Process:

Download the above files and install the driver. For the driver, it installs Pdanet on both your computer and phone. Follow the directions carefully. Pdanet will be wiped from your phone once you run Superboot. After the driver is installed, feel from to uninstall Pdanet from your computer – the driver will remain.

Extract the contents of Superboot and rename the folder “root.” Place this folder into C:\ (you may be asked for admin privileges).

Power down the phone.

Connect the phone to your computer.

Boot the phone into the bootloader by simultaneously holding Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.

Open up the command prompt in Windows:

Click Start Menu, then in the search bar type: cmd (this will open the command prompt);

Type the following: cd C:/

Then type the following: cd root

The next step will unlock your bootload - this will wipe all data on your device.

Type the following, in the command prompt: fastboot-windows oem unlock

You will receive a warning about unlocking. Use the volume keys to select an option and use the power button to confirm.

Your bootloader will now say: Lock State – Unlocked (near the bottom) as well as “Fastboot Status – Okay”

Now, to root your device, simply double click: install-superboot-windows.bat that you originally placed in the root folder in step 2.

Your phone should reboot on its own.

Be patient while it reboots, and don’t worry – first boot may take up to 5 minutes.

After phone set up, confirm Superuser app in your app tray.

All credit for this tutorial goes to:

Evostance and

Paul O’Brien

Useful root apps:

Busybox

Rom Manager

Titanium Backup

Root Explorer

Questions?

The above method unlocks your bootloader AND roots your device.

You do not need ADB.

This does not put a custom recovery on your phone.

This does not put a custom rom on your phone.

Yes, your phone is still stock.

Yes, you will still receive OTA’s from Google/Verizon.

This only puts Superuser on your phone, you need to install busybox yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlagAZ:
Question, when using superboot, is there a way to unroot the root if needed? If so do you have the steps to unroot?

Thanks,

Keith
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master K:
CDMA problem

I have a brand new Verizon Galaxy nexus. I have the bootloader unlocked but everytime I tried to do the boot.img step it would just stay on the Google screen forever. I did an adb logcat and I could see it failing and looping over and over again.

Any idea what I should try? Could the update to 4.02 have caused this?

Thanks,

Master K
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wljohnson05:
This is something I would like to know too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
Its been a long while since I've done Android mods haha, If I root and stay on stock rom with CWM recovery, Will I still be able to do the 4.0.3 OTA? or will the recovery not be able to apply the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ephung23:
If you have clockworkmod installed with your stock rom. Once you restart the phone it will wipe clockworkmod and install back the stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] owenbeals:
Yes you can unroot by flashing the system image... it requires adb check out my channel , I'll try to post the video here asap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] owenbeals:
This process wipes the data.. did you pull USB during the process... either way go into boot loader and lock boot loader by typing OEM lock instead of OEM unlock and try again this time don't pull the USB cable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] owenbeals:
You will still be able to accept ota
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Master K:
I did not pull the USB. I did it twice so I know the lock unlock sequence fixes the phone.

I did the unlock without issue and then when I do install-superboot-windows.bat the phone reboots, I get the Google with the unlocked padlock and there it sits. Well past 5min. I did an adb logcat and I can see it is stuck in a bootloop so I pull the battery and lock and unlock again. I rebooted and the phone started up as if new. As I said i went through all this twice (never pulling the USB) and the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogreenbay07:
I followed this guide letter by letter and it worked perfectly. BTW I have the LTE nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
never mind
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epicrean:
I downloaded both links,

installed the drivers,

made sure the newly files (superboot) where in a file named root on the C:\

rebooted phone in to fastboot, then plugged it into the computer

started command prompt

made sure I was in the C:\root directory

typed in fastboot-windows oem unlock

Alls I get is a massage saying "waiting for device" (yes the device is hooked up to the computer via USB)

the instructions mention pdanet... I never saw that install anywhere so maybe i am missing a step
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprakes:
I can not get the drivers i downloaded from the link to work. It took forever to run the exe and install them, like an hour, and then the install was unsuccesful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
Had to boot the phone back in to the bootloader and rerun the install-superboot-windows.bat. Then my phone rebooted right away. Been sitting on the Google screen for a while...past 5 minutes...so hopefully it will go through.

EDIT: Waiting 15 minutes and phone was still stuck on the black screen with the while Google logo. Pulled battery and phone booted and was rooted. Odd....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeLopez:
is it just me or the download link is down as of 12/18/11?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anotherxdauser:
Followed instructions (although I got the driver from elsewhere, so didn't need the PDAnet files).

Installed loads of apps and such. Turned phone off, then on again. After I rebooted though, my phone appears not to be rooted anymore. Superuser doesn't seem to do anything (although it's on the phone) and Root Explorer says it is denied root permissions from Superuser.

Downloaded Superuser fix from the market which says my phone isn't rooted.

If I just type the "install blah de blah" command again (IE, missing out the unlock oem as the bootloader should still be unlocked), then will it wipe my phone? Don't really fancy installing all the apps again.

Will this then be permanently rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbenson1226:
Hmmm, this tutorial looks strikingly similar to the one I created at DroidForums. A little credit would be nice - or please completely rewrite it. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
Try the PDA net application on your comp, it will properly install the Samsung drivers so you can adb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Same thing happened to me but i just issue the adb commands manually. I wound up just pushing the root files and setting permissions myself to get root again after the OTA update to 4.0.2. The boot image actually appeared to be doing something prior to this update. I guess 4.0.2 changed something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] owenbeals:
Try installing pdanet from junefabrics.com it includes alternate Samsung drivers that may work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIDIncII:
So everytime i try this i get up to where i have to type fastboot-windows oem unlock. I type in the command but then it just stay there saying waiting for device. I installed the drivers so i dont know what the problem is. Any solutions?

Im getting the same problem? I type in fastboot-windows oem unlock and its saying waiting for device?

Just finished rooting, what do I do now? I want to install that android revolution HD rom, but I dont know what a virtual SD card is and I have never done a root before :(

Any help would be nice, but I dont want to get OT in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlpineM3:
Thank you for posting a video and very simple instructions as well as supplying to proper files, but how does this exactly translate on over to those using a MAC? I've read every thread and countless pages with not luck. As it is there seems to be tons of procedures to root, but not using a PC def complicates things....can anybody point me in the right direction?

Also, I updated from a rooted TBolt and had PDA.net installed so does that mean I don't have to install those files in order for the drivers to work with Samsung (sorry if a stupid question, not sure if they would be different even though the app works with the GNex).

Also 2.0, someone else in this thread mentioned this, but does this procedure make root permanent? I've read on other threads about it being temporary sometimes. Please advise and thank you in advance to whomever helps out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] owenbeals:
Not sure on the mac... but if you had pdanet working on HTC you'd need to reinstall and choose samsung this time (only if standard Samsung drivers don't work)... this root method is permanent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KlugN:
Thanks for the vid. Waiting to root now! Man these drivers are taking FOREVER to be installed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbphoto615@hotmail.com:
I have rooted my GF's Nook Color with the last stable CM7 root, it is an internal (emmc) root.

I downloaded a few apps I know she'll want, one of which being a document editor for her book, and other documents. Most of which are in .doc and .docx format. The main app I found to be most user friendly, and most like Microsoft Word, was Kingsoft Office app. Well about halfway into reading a document, maybe 2-5 mins after opening the app, it will say the application needs to force close. I have run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, but to no avail.

I am also having an issue setting wallpapers. I have followed several guides, and I believe my images are sized correctly. But when I long press the screen and go to set a wallpaper, I go to my gallery and select my picture and it brings me to a crop screen. No matter how I crop it, which I cant do a full crop where I can see the full image, I cant get the image to show up correctly. I've read multiple guides on how to change the wallpaper, but so far nothing is working. I do not know which launcher I am using, I guess I'm on whatever comes with the latest CM7. Id like to stick with whatever i'm using because so far It seems to have the best shortcut position and grid on the screen.

Any help and advice for these issues would be greatly appreciated. I have yet to receive help from some other posts on other sites, so I'm hoping to get some here.

Thank you in advance for your time. :)

I'm running blend miui on my neo (currently miui 1.12.2 i think).

I would like to go back to the stock rom (android 2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42 is latest update, right?)

What's the best and safest way to do this? Is there a chance that I get the 0% battery problem (I think not, but just asking to be sure :p)?

I don't want to relock bootloader and I also want to keep root because I want to be able to change rom back to miui easily if I don't want the stock anymore
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Use Wotanserver (it's free) to go to .42 or Flash Tool (see guide and file here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258723)

For root, use Zergrush, very quick and easy.

Because you no longer have CWM recovery. Stock is stock. It sounded like that's what you wanted.

If you want recovery on stock ROM try Inteks V15 kernel, it's in the development section.

Inteks kernel is a bit of a battery hog.. :( lately i'm really starting to think about going back to stock .42, maybe even .283, as it had better battery life as .42

I don't notice any extra battery drain compared to stock. Try the CPU Tuner app otherwise.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Deleted member 4331532:
i'm using AnTuTu CPU Master, and 90% of the time it's set to 576 MHz max. battery life isn't as good as on stock anyway.
