My Market was already pretty fast to begin with, but this update does seem slightly faster. I might just be imagining it. Thanks for the upload!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ExMM:
It does feels faster on my old Hero, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mjgspr95:
Does this app allow them to block movies from root users or are they doing that regardless of the market app you're using? I just noticed this and I'm not sure if it was blocked with my previous market app.

3. Delete useless folders from sdcard. I personally delete all folders except downloads, download, dcim, music, videos etc. As they may have settings from old Rom.

4. Then flash superwipeg2+, and it will reboot on its own.

5. Then flash the Rom and don't flash Ril matcher.

Hopefully it will solve your problem.

Delete the PC10IMG off of your SDcard....

And you're posting in the wrong section. This is for

DEVELOPMENT

.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFatePPC:
sorry... can i move this?

how can i remove that .zip file, only with an mini sdcard convertor to my laptop?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jspina:
If you have adb set up then type:

adb reboot recovery

this will reboot your phone into recovery and then you can flash a backup or a new rom to boot up.

hope this helps and good luck!

that works too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Could always just boot into your ROM and USB mass storage then remove it. Or take the card out and put it in a PC and delete it.

Or if you have the SDK you can /adb rm <file> . or /adb reboot recovery .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFatePPC:
thnx for the fast replys and the feedback!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
After wiping everything you rebooted with nothing in your /system, /boot, /data partitions so how can you expect to see anything except a white screen.

Its not written anywhere in the guide to reboot at the 2nd step.

Delete PC10IMG.zip from your sdcard as suggested above and reboot into recovery via bootloader.

And follow the steps exactly as stated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
He deleted the Rom, so can't boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFatePPC:
hey, i am up and running again , i again followed the guide , but i still have the ril issue ...

your guide didnt solved it?

any other suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uvt_novice:
Why did you post your question in this thread? - it has NOTHING to do with Android Development!!!

Next time post/ask in the General Questions thread if you have issue like this.

P.S. Run Rom Manager and download/run Virtuous ril Automatcher to fix ril issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Dee:
You better delete or move this thread asap before the ROM Mistress finds this or you will get a nice infraction ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFatePPC:
sorry for misplacing the thread,

but your suggestions doesnt solve my problem, as soon i match the ril with the latest radio, dataconnection doesnt work anymore

if i goto the APN settings, i get an error about missing sim card

so only an older radio with older ril works

or the latest radio with older ril works also, but not that good...

doesnt mather if i use ril matcher or manual overwrite...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coredalae:
dont use ril matcher for me it just bugs out everything, which is also why the thread was closed..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
Make sure you have the right radio for your area. Some areas don't like certain radios. Also, its better to have a T-mobile us radio for the G2 and the Desire Z with the other ones.

When you wipe all data and system, you've wiped the rom off the Phone so expect it NOT to start up to anything but that white screen.

Make sure you always remove the PCIMG w.e folder at all times if youre not a adb user ,to get to the recovery . Common sense, place it in a memory card slot for your computer or some other device and just delete it.

And yeah, you should've posted this in the Q&A section.

Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Every thread I read about the Galaxy Nexus not having enough storage space has the same king of replies: "Just use Google Music", "You can stream from the cloud", "Google limited the space on purpose because they want you to use Google Music", etc..

Why go through the tedious process of uploading a limited selection of songs to Google Music and keep updating it when with apps like Gmote, you can have access terabytes of music directly from your PC!

All it takes is installing the app on your phone, the server on your PC and forwarding one port to your PC and you're done.

For movies I setup an FTP on my PC and forwarded that port through my router. With ES File Explorer you can access it and stream any movie from your hard drive directly to your phone (not recommended through 3G though! :D). MXPlayer for mkv, h264, etc playback works perfectly with SW acceleration!

Edit: Corrected. It's 20,000 songs not 5GB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
5GB? You can have up to 20,000 songs on Google Music.

And I recommend it because its seamless and awesome. And doesn't take up space on the phone lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Ah, thought it was 5GB. 20,000 songs is plenty but you still have to upload those to "the cloud" versus just leaving them on your PC. Plus it's not officially available to anyone outside the US yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You just upload em once. In the background over time. And every time you get something new its uploaded automatically.

Not to mention that Google Music can be accessed from any web browser, where you can listen and manage everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Most people don't know how to do what you describe..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zok-star:
but what happens if you have all this music in the cloud, and you have no reception/data to stream???

I still rather have space on the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
But I'm guessing most people in this forum do!

Those are nice features, automatic updates definitely helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It auto-caches your most-played music. You can also manually pin (cache) artists/albums/playlists if you know you'll be out of service
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yumunum:
If you delete a song on Google Music, it doesn't delete it on your computer. Vice versa. Sucky management, eh?

Data caps will make me think twice when wanting to listen to music. Who wants to feel limited in that way?

What if I don't have reception?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inlogan:
This is how I use Google Music

1. I used the Google Music app on my computer to upload everything to the cloud. When I add new songs, they'll be uploaded automatically, or when I buy something on the phone, they will be downloaded to my computer.

2. I "pinned" all my music to my phone over wi-fi one night. It's easy to do in the app on the phone. You just select the albums or artists from the "Make Available Offline" screen and they'll download over wi-fi. There is also an option to do it over the cellular network which would be good for an album or two but might eat through your data if you're not unlimited. This means none of my music needs to stream to play on my phone. It's all cached locally. I take the subway to work every day and don't have reception all the way. This also syncs all your playlists in Google Music!

I now have my music on my computer, phone, and anywhere I want from the cloud, and I don't have to have a signal at all to listen.

If I ever get low on space on my phone because I've cached all my music, I can just untick the checkmark and it won't be locally stored anymore, but it's still in the cloud and on my computer. It's easy to pin or un-pin music from the phone.

I used to manage everything manually over USB on my Nexus One. I didn't understand how Google Music could help me, but it finally clicked on how I could use it to work for me easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
Agreed in all aspects +1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I have about 30GB of music in Google Music lol you're not limited at all. I think that's somewhere around 5,500 songs...so I have *plenty* of room to grow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
7100 songs/45Gb here, GMusic rules! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lathanub:
It's only available in the United States? Darn... time to get a VPN set up? Haha. This is the same problem I have with Google Voice.

All of these wonderful things to be using but are unable to due to location. Why must we be so behind in Australia?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinggheedora:
1: Because people want to access their music from more places than just at home.

2: Google music is easier to use and set up than setting up your own music server, vpn, etc

3. Not everyone has a music server or wants to set one up

"Why buy a car from Toyota if you can just buy the parts and built it yourself?!"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [GO]Bobster:
have to say GMusic rox! anywhere in the world, my music at the press of a button!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
My Google Music account has about 12,500 songs in it, which is about 90GB worth. For a free service, that's amazing. Also, it let me download/pin music while I was vacationing in Italy, so it's not totally US only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sohoxda:
Out of the US

There is a trick to sign up for Google music if you are outside of the US. Just install an application called, HotShield and then sign up. This way, your IP is recognized as coming from the US.

Anyways, the idea of using Google music is to store your music on the cloud so you can play all your music from your phone, computer, friend's computer and so on without storing your music locally on your computer.

I have a problem when I tried to play one of the song from Google music. I can see the progress bar of the music playing but I don't hear the song. Does anyone have the solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
Meh, I'll eat up anything Google releases. I love it all :) /fanboyism
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
lmao that whole thing about the cache/pinning is basically having the songs ON your phone .. which is the counterargument here XD yeah we can put our songs onto the phone too, but we need to use a usb cable but its 10x faster than wirelessly lol

not that im against GMusic lol, i just hate that it eats up my data like crazy and i cant listen to **** if theres not a clear signal lol. However I find the equalizer on the app pretty good, is in fair competition with PowerAmp believe it or not... some songs sound better on Gmusic; and yes i am pretty good with the EQ so thats not it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yangqi:
what you said is a solution, but think that it will require you run your computer 24*7, so there could be relatively large cost to electricity. Why not let google take care all this maintenance stuff, etc. It's free and "unlimited" for most people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fromage2323:
Ya I've uploaded about 13k songs so far. Takes quite a while tho cuz I have to throttle the speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
who me O.o? I just said its better (for me) to use a usb cable to transfer my songs onto the phones internal storage because I'm on a 5GB data plan and take the subway for an hour and some parts of my campus get low reception. GMusic feeds off data and needs a stable internet connection. If I had an unlimited data plan and ...somehow had service 24/7 , GMusic would be a dream. But 4GB isn't too bad on my storage anyways,

The whole caching music thing is kind of iffy to me. I always have my playlist on shuffle and having to selectively pick out songs that I want to listen to ahead of time, then wait for them to download, every single day, is kind of a pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellbringer626:
I've used Subsonic Streamer (link:http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp) to stream from my home computer for a little over a year and it has been great. However there are times I don't want to run my desktop 24/7 as this is a waste of electricity. Wake-On-Lan doesn't work with my current router (Hoping to fix that with the new router i just bought).

Subsonic has been an awesome way to access my music library (about 11,900 songs) from the internet and the android client has gotten very good. But having music available online regardless of your home internet connection and powered state of your home server/desktop/whatever is also very convenient.

Even with regular streaming I don't normally go over 5GB (although I'm grandfathered into an unlimited data plan) so the whole killing your data is not that big a deal and I consider myself a somewhat heavy user. YMMV

Google Music is a awesome because: 1. Your music is backed up to cloud. 2. you can access it from any internet connection. 3. The android client is pretty well thought out.

One thing I wish google music would do is help with album art. I've been having to "fix" albums that had low-res embedded album art because it looks ugly and pixelated in the android client. It would be awesome if Google implemented a way to search and fix tags/album art. I had some that I had to retag because I haven't been neat with additions in music collection. Only a problem for large collections, missing tag info.

TL;DR: Google Music is great & FREE. Some minor things could be improved like Auto Tag management/updating would be fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
Its simple. Its easy. Its awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
As a webOS user, I set up an Ampache server and it works great. Thing is, any Ampache client on Android blows. Ampache Mobile for webOS is the one better app that's on webOS only.

Is Google Music able to play random albums or something like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
lol :p i only signed up to GM for the free music, nothing else

not a fan of the Streaming cloud audio, as reception is horrible, and it needs data, and eats battery life ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Your idea is okay but if you look from my point of view. It's just a very good solution.

1. Why should I set up my own system with all it's troubles etc. if there's allready a company doing this for me for free!

2. I don't want to have my PC running 24/7.

3. My upload rate isn't that good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i personally don't like the hassle of using Google Music... it makes me feel like i'm using another version of iTunes.

i don't want to have to 'sync' or upload a collection somewhere & then stream my music... i'm old fashioned & just want everything right there on my device and to be able to access it instantly and not have to use data to do it either.

heck, as it is, i average 50GB/month & that's not using Google Music. i don't want to piss off Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
I'll have to look into Gmote, didn't even know about it until this thread. I have more than 20,000 songs, but I use Google Music anyway. It is pretty seamless and I like the fact that I can access my music on any web browser also so it makes listening to exactly what I want at work much easier as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
what if the songs are downloaded illegally? would you recommend uploading it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
I have about 2000 songs in iTunes, I've set about 900 to be "Make Available Offline" on Google Music. As I add new content to my iTunes library Google Music Mac agent auto adds to Google Music.

Huge advantage for me is ability to keep day to day music on my Galaxy Nexus and stream others - or flag as Make Available Offline if I feel in the mood to listen to something I normally wouldn't. My music is about 10GB on my iTunes, on Google Music and the music I only need I have about 3GB of music on the device.

Still have 13GB free on my device with loads of apps installed, some videos copied, etc. This on a 8.5GB free on my device. I'm not complaining at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Google and Amazon regularly sweep user's libraries for pirated music, so I wish you the best if you knowingly upload stolen content.

And I bet they have logs too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreycentex:
And some of us don't have the upstream bandwidth from our home to serve the phone. I do well with 6M/512K DSL and I would be buffering all the time if I were to serve that out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
You should try Twonky installed to a NAS. I have a Synology DS211+ with two 2TB drives. It wakes up automatically using WOL. Uses little power. Plus I'm anal about my collection tagging. I'd much rather manage it myself using media monkey.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chevybythesea:
So, I was offered the upcoming Nexus by the Verizon Rep I talked to today, to fix my data-dropping issue. From what I can tell, the hardware on the Nexus looks like a step back, not forward. What do you all think?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
if you dont take that deal please tell them to offer it to me..please?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
How the heck did you get that offer? It's so rare that they would even such a new phone. So far, they wouldn't even offer Razr
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Get the Nexus. The hardware is better in most aspects. I am going to try and get my upgrade date moved tomorrow and pick it up.

Were you talking to a rep in the store or on the phone when they offered you a Nexus?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
The hardware is better besides the lack of an sd card slot... And it has ICS.

[LG Optimus 3D] Araltd:
Curious if its possible to remap the video call option to automatically use tango, skype, or some other video calling service? I have NO CLUE what the native video call option is????? is it proprietary like iPhone Facetime? or carrier based? or what?

Since I'm on T-mobile in the USA - I'd like to remap that to use a compatible option . THANKS
[LG Optimus 3D] tlee422:
Tango

Have you downloaded Tango for your Optimus yet? I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Please give better details. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] projectsome:
I understand what he's trying to do. ie when he goes into his contacts and hits video call, instead of making a normal video call, he wants it to connect via skype instead.

in theory this would be possible, but then the reciever would also need skype...
[LG Optimus 3D] Araltd:
That's exactly right

... from contacts hitting the video call button the phone using an outside method of video chat... What is the default method anyways? is it some proprietary protocol like Apple's FaceTime? or is it carrier based or what?

Another great question would be, is there anything that would interface from the optimus to a facetime device? is there facetime for android? :D All my friends and family have iPhone's, and NO ONE has Optimus 3D or android's at all - hence the reason for wanting to use another video call client.
[LG Optimus 3D] tlee422:
Hi Araltd,

My experience is only for Tango.

Currently you can Tango another Tango users from within your contact list.

Tango supports PC, Android 2.1 or higher, Windows Phones, iPhones (3GS and newer), iPod touch fourth-generation and iPads. That means you can Video Chat with other platforms.

You should give Tango a try. You’ll enjoy it!

Android Devices

- Download Tango from the Android Market here: http://bit.ly/lERnBS (choose to open in 'Market' when prompted)

Apple Devices

- Download Tango from the Apple App Store here: http://bit.ly/lpK8XN (iPhone, iPod, iPad)

I am in the same boat as you; all my friends are iOS users. I just can’t get away from Androids freedom!
[HTC Rezound] chevyirox:
I wonder will we see a ics update for the rezound now or atleast soon
[HTC Rezound] xRogerxC:
I'm sure that HTC is working on ICS/Sense 4.0 for us, but between them and Verizon doing what they have to do, I'm sure it will be at least a month or two before we see an update.
[HTC Rezound] chevyirox:
We'd more than likely have root before then, so either way it'd be worth the wait. This is a awesome phone
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
HTC stated ~6 weeks from release of the Nexus. Don't expect anything before February.

[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Hmm

I have to admit, i've been browsing over at the Nexus forum with a little jealousy.

I know I know, once we get s-off we are going to be sitting pretty. Then of course waiting for ICS also.

I don't plan on exchanging my phone, but things sure are tempting.
[HTC Rezound] Clamster:
I'm pretty tempted too but rooted or not the rezound is a bad ass phone!

[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
The rezound is a better phone hardware wise. We will get s-off and they will be pissed they didnt get a rezound
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
Anyone with any doubts just needs to go look at the GN screen. Teeth and eye-whites look yellow! You can also still see pixels on the GN.

Also, go play with the GN camera and notice how the angle of view is narrower, it doesn't focus on objects as close as the rezound can, and it has some pretty obvious distortion. Turn off image preview on Rezound and the shutter lags are so close its hard to tell which is faster.

For the screen alone, I will happily wait forever for S-OFF and ICS or whatever.

This is not even going into the build quality. The store demo I played with last night was falling apart already (battery cover wouldn't stay on and the whole back felt creaky) and it's only been sitting there for a few hours. The Rezound, which had been sitting there for weeks, still looks to be in pretty good shape.

Also, my Rezound seemed to be pulling in better signal for the few minutes I was playing with them next to each other.

[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
My guess is April '12 we'll see ICS
[HTC Rezound] 300k:
HTC did say the rezound would get ICS. For that 6 weeks things, HTC may have it done by then, however, Verizon may be the cause for the delay in its release.

Does anyone know if it will get Sense 4.0 with that update. If they show Sense 4.0 off at CES, they might make the timeline of six weeks. If they don't, I don't mind waiting for both Sense 4.0 and ICS.
[HTC Rezound] xRogerxC:
I do recall reading an article on one of the tech sites that said ICS/Sense 4.0 would be released together. All we have to do now is wait :)
