[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
it depends on the person's size. i'm 6' 5" and have big hands. this Nexus' still feels like it's a bit too small for me. i look forward to the 5"+ phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
For me the SGS2 felt bigger. I can reach stuff much easier on the GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chbennett:
I think that the nexus is ok for people with above average sized hands, but really, if your hands are too small for the GNEX, then they are too small for most of the 4.3" devices out there right now anyways:

Here is a comparison between the GNEX and the DroidX (4.3"). There really isnt that much of a difference.

Here are the two phones in my hand how one might hold them. There is again minimal difference. Basically, this says that if you can use a 4.3" phone, which has become the defacto size for android super phones, then you can just as easily use the GNEX's huge 4.65" display.

The GNEX:

and the DX:

(Note that I am 6' 3" and the diagonal of my hand is about 9.5", so the usability will be better or worse depending on how big you are.)

Edited: I hate Box.com. And I wont every try to venture away from the comfort of Dropbox again for cloud storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
My previous phone was a Galaxy S. I do think that was the perfect size for my hands. Although i still couldnt stand the hardware buttons on that phone and the gsm nexus doesnt feel any heavier and seems thinner. But after you get use to the gnexus screen the gs seems so little. Even my wife's iphone 4 seems tiny now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
No problems using it, but would you prefer it to be smaller? Or do you like this size better now that you're used to it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1.4hitachi:
Seems a fine size to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
I have rather large hands (glove size 8.5) and my opinion is: the GN is on the far end of "large". This is probably the maximum size a smartphone can have and still be (relatively) easily operated with one hand. For smaller hands it already is too large.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baguett:
Galaxy Nexus is just under the "to-big-for-human-hans-limit" if you ask me.

The Galaxy Note on the other hand, is to big.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkhouw1:
i don't have an issue with the size using it, i have an issue with the size of it + a holster and just putting it into and taking it out of said holster. I liked the nexus one (OGdroid before that, and a myriad of smaller phones before that) i was coming from but was ready for something a little bigger. a little smaller would have been nice since i keep it on my belt, but i like the big screen when i'm using it.

i got the leather case from vzw, but i'll be heading out tomorrow to try to find a nylon one that hopefully will fit the phone but be a smaller total package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morben:
I agree it is borderline too big for human hand. I have trouble maneuvering the phone in my hands to reach the power button and to pull down the taskbar, and i don't have small hands!

I had to create shortcuts to perform these tasks to make life easier - screen shot attached.

Actually makes the usability of the handset much more efficent IMHO :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Ha! I love it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
hardly. i don't consider my hands to be exceptionally large, but it fits fine and, strangely, my original evo now feels a little small. it's a good size for being turned into a pretty nice media/game device, though. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
I'd prefer it to be a bit smaller. Makes it much harder to type with one hand. 4" would have been great. But its a great phone.

droid-VNC-server from the market gives me the attached looking image when I VNC into my phone. I would like an update to the package so that it works for my handset.

I'm willing to put $50 on the table for this update once tested on my HTC EVO 3D (CDMA). If other handset add to this bounty their bounty will be contingent on their handset working as well. Please PM me if you would like to add your handset to the mix and add a bounty amount.

If you think you can fix the problem please pm or reply to the thread.

The source can be found on github which I can't post a link to.
[Android General] pcfascist:
On github it looks like the HTC G2 and the RAZR are affected by this... I thought more folks would hop on board...

Beta Build Fixes This

This thread has a link to the latest beta build which fixed this problem on my Bionic.

Direct Link to APK:

[Android General] mscala:
didn't work for me

Didn't work. Said problem parsing package when I tried installing. Tried the main download link and the mirror.

Anyone else have same issue? I would love to get this working.

Rooted Droid RAZR with latest stock 2.3.6 build
[Android General] lurkadurk:
Try uninstalling the old one first

I had to uninstall the original version to get the new one to install. I think they changed keys or something.
[Android General] pcfascist:
Thanks Lurkadurk, I'll try it when I have time to get to a custom rom...
[Android General] pcfascist:
Looks like the Pixel Depth is still unsupported... I'm not rooted right now because I lost my HTC powercord and I need to downgrade HBOOT.

So if someone with root could download the package from the working mirror:

http://xis.student.utwente.nl/files/droidVNCserver.apk

Then download Log collector from the market... Hopefully if you post it here someone will know how to fix the package.
[Android General] huisinro:
This distortion seems to do with image dimension calculation errors. The display may have a large length to store the pixels than the actual width of the display.

Try our app, VMLite VNC Server, it surely works on your phone, EVO 3D, we have customers on this model.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
[Android General] xrayvzn:
vmlite

So does your app fix this issue with droid razor xt912?:confused:
[Android General] huisinro:
Of course, our vmlite vnc app just works. Please purchase it and try.
[Android General] xrayvzn:
I'll try it out....but can I still use TightVNC viewer with your VMLite....and if so, are there security option implementations available? I would like to be able to securely gain access remotely to a HTC in order to make repairs using a web browser. If not I could always gain remote access to the desktop remotely and control and repair that way, but it would've easier to just use a the internet protocol than to have the client run a RDP .
[Android General] xrayvzn:
Nevermind the remote access. I see when I visit your website that you can connect with a web browser. But can you at least tell if I am able to use some authentication when connecting over the internet?
[Android General] xrayvzn:
Nice

Just wanted to let you know what a great app this is!!!..works like a champ!!..worth every penny!!You sir, are appreciated!!!

Thank You!!:D
[Android General] edbcnn:
Just purchased your VNC app, the screen is distorted. Using rooted Nexus 5. Its a good thing Google refunds the money.
[Desire HD General] amirjadidi:
Hi,

I've rooted using the following manual:

How to Root the HTC Desire HD - xda-developers

After that, everything was OK.

Unfortunately I tried to re-root it (just curious), during the process the htc white screen was appeared and the phone was freezed. After plugging it out, when phone is booted, this page is coming and not leave!

I tried to reset using "factory reset", It starts but after reboot, htc white screen is remain!

Can you help me?
[Desire HD General] Ditti4:
Seems like a corrupt or missing system and/or kernel.

Just take a RUU and follow the instructions and then try to reroot.

Sent from my loved HTC Desire HD @MIUI Germany. <3
[Desire HD General] amirjadidi:
Thanks.

Would you please instruct me?

The bad news is that the "recovery" does not work. When I select "recovery" in the bootloader a red icon appears in the screen.

How can I change RUU?
[Desire HD General] if4ct0r:
RUU (ROM Update Utility) is a executable-setup that needs to be run on your PC with your phone connected via USB.

Download an RUU exe from here. Connect your phone to your PC and run the setup.

Your phone will be wiped clean and restored to factory settings. Try re-rooting using the Advanced Ace Hack Kit.

EDIT:

You can find the latest version of the Stock ROM RUU in this thread.
[Desire HD General] amirjadidi:
OK.

Just some questions:

1. which RUU has to be downloaded? -currently, I"m planning to use: RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.37.707.3_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_188759_signed.exe

2. My phone becomes a stone! when I connect it to the PC, just in charge mode while the phone is off. Is it possible to wipe in this situation?!

Thanks for your quick reply.
[Desire HD General] amirjadidi:
When running RRU, it detects that the phone is not connected via USB. As I said before the phone's OS is not loaded so it can not process on it.

Is there any low level format for this phone?

Recovery and factory reset are not working through boot loader.
[Desire HD General] klawsterfobik:
Save starting a new thread.

I'm in a very similar situation where I can't run the RUU as my DHD won't load past the white HTC screen. I can get it it to the HBOOT USB PLUG screen, but entering into the FASTBOOT, RECOVERY or FACTORY RESET sends it to a black screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark.

When i go into System Info all looks good, however exiting out it says "No image or wrong image!"

I have tried updating the drivers but all that did was bring up Android Bootloader Interface in Device Manager.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Ok seems that You are entering stock recovery. Are You S-OFF? If You are then You can flash CWM recovery and flash a custom ROM. If not you will have to flash a Ruu for your cell. Do You know how to find the Cid number?
[Desire HD General] martijndemulder:
Got about the same problem here.

Factory reset doesn't do anything. Still got the same Rom problems and NONE of the usersettings or apps are removed.

Also using recovery doesn't make a change.

Flashing an RUU looks promising, but also doesn't do anything.

IMHO it sounds like none of the options above have the RIGHTS to write any information OR the paths they are using can't be found...

please advice..:eek:
[Desire HD General] uros0104:
If you can get to bootloader, try using fastboot. Or try copying a pd98img file to your sdcard and flash it through bootloader.

You didn't mention does the charge led light up when you connect it to your PC.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Hello,

I'm trying to change the text colour, but I can't open the *.xml's that are in framework-res.apk>color.

I already tried to use ColorEdit.exe and AXMLPrinter, but there is only an error. Or is it the wrong direction?

Please help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Yes sweetie, you are in the wrong direction here.

The XML files you are trying to edit are compiled. You need to decompile the apk, edit the files and recompile it. Search for APK Manager, that'll make your life easier. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
cyanogen mod can do it in advanced settings i think. i did it b4.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Have you installed proper framework in apktool folder?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Yes, decompiling works fine, but compiling doesn't
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Which framework did you install in the apktool folder and how exactly?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
I put the "framework-res.apk" to "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder in apk manager. After I choose the file I want to edit i decompiled it using 9th option. Than I edited the .xml's and decompiling doesn't work
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
No, no. You can't recompile because you haven't set the resources needed.

Before doing all you did, you need to follow this guide to install the framework resources.

I'm still on 4.0.1 ITL41D and haven't had a single update as of yet, am on giffgaff which uses o2's signal but just put in my old o2 sim card but still no update. Anybody had it yet?

Yeah my phone keeps asking me to update. But im running Android Revolution HD. Need to update to 2.1 to get 4.0.2 ICS rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr_stone:
Yes, got update this morning as soon as I powered it up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
what network you on if you mind me asking?

and am patiently waiting I bought this phone because I don't wanna flash stuff anymore it wastes so much time.

and also with the update did your data wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
I just got my gnex yesterday imported from the UK. I haven't received update either. Just patiently waiting. No rush for me as I'm in the states and no volume bug here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AleT:
I also am on giffgaff in the UK. Got my galaxy nexus this morning. It is a yagju build (i.e. should be google, not Samsung updated).

I too am stuck on 4.0.1, kernel ITL41D, so the volume bug hasn't even been fixed, which is driving me mad. As far as I can tell, it should be downloading two updates. The volume fix (ITL41D) and 4.0.2, but I am getting neither.

I tried a factory reset and set up everything from fresh, but no joy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
it toom me like 4days after volumn bug fix was release to et OTA update. By tgat time i was on custom rom.

Ive factory reset now and waiting manually flashes volumn bug and now waiti.g for 4.0.2 OTA or for someone to post a linl to it.

I would edit the mistakes in this post but keyboard is fu*king up abd i cant select text.... another bug
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheEdge65:
Got mine this morning when I woke up. SIM free here.

anyone who wants to update manually heres now:

I'm sim free as well although on android market it says o2 galaxy nexus? bought if from phones 4 u as carephone warehouse was out of stock, first time I've gone to buy an android and they had none. Played on the note through, that thing i huge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
How do i know whether Google or Samsung will Update my nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Am not entirely sure but the is a thread somewhere about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smartstradamus:
Im on Giffgaff and got the update in the early hours of this morning.

My GNEX is sim free and locale is set to US although im in the uk.

My gnex also showed up as "o2 galaxy nexus" in the market but I just edited the nickname in the market control panel so now it shows as "galaxy nexus"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Download Android System Info from Market. If build is yakju then it's a Google build. Anything else is probably a Samsung build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kave2:
Got the update yesterday; Ireland.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
Under buildinfo -> fingerprint?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Got mine this morning - England
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Nothing yet on my uk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It does not matter where you are or what carrier you are on. It only matters what software version you are at, your IMEI is up, and you have internet access. You don't even need a SIM in the phone, only a wifi connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
buildinfo>fingerprint or buildinfo>product should say yakju somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
Still waiting here. On T-Mobile US
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cfhuk:
Is there any way to update it without changing anything on the handset, like rooting or unlocking the bootloader? Still checking for update but stuck at 4.0.1. I bought this phone so I'd have updates as soon as they were available direct from Google. This is disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roni1979:
You will geht the Update if it's available. Google stopped the Update cause of bugs. As soon as they have a new Update you will get it. Calm down you're one of the first which will get the Update as soon as it will available again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
You guys can wait for 4.0.2 all you want. They are fixing issues discovered in 4.0.3 and will roll that out. Whether that will be 4.0.4 or just a new build of 4.0.3 remains to be seen. The fact that they stopped rolling 4.0.2 out for GNex and stopped the rollout of 4.0.3 on the nexus s makes it easy to figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
the problem is that nexus lacks important features like facebook integration and other advertised feature like the USB Host feature, so google is in late.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cfhuk:
I hadn't realised they had halted the roll-out, that makes more sense. I have got the 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 files for the phone from the Google forum that Jean Baptiste (may have spelt that wrong, but you know who I mean) posted. They are the files direct from Google for the Yakju Maguro handsets, and as they are freely available to download I thought the roll-out was still on, and we had just been forgotten. I'm used to being in this mentality, as I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which was upgraded to 3.2 in the US months ago, and we're still on 3.1 everywhere else in the world.

And now you mention the halted roll-outs, that does make a lot more sense, as the UK is a market that doesn't generally get rolled out to first (there have been exceptions). We get updates after the US has already got the botched one, had it halted, and then had it restarted. Makes it a bit safer for us I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] af250xxl:
....which makes me wonder why the UK was the first country to get Galaxy Nexus

ahead of the rest of the world.... :(

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus in the US.(sometimes using AT&T and sometimes T-

Mobile) No matter what I tried, it's still not updating to 4.02. :(

Well, at least it's good to know that I'm not the only one who is waiting and

waiting and waiting........... :D but if Google pushes out 4.04, I'll be happy! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
what if they find issues with the 4.0.3? will they just roll that to 4.0.4, find more issues? stop all releases?

alot of people got the Nexus expecting fast and expedite updates, but its not happening in this case. hopefully they fix it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tauruslei:
Me too am waiting for the 4.0.2 update. Unboxed mine yesterday and had the ITL41 thingy update. I think that if you have a yakju build and not getting updates then google must have halted rolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turism0:
I must just be lucky, got the 4 0.2 update ota the day it was released. I do have root and an unlocked bootloader, neither was affected by the update :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Did you even read the comment? My speculation about your question is what I posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leenukes:
I very nearly updated it to 4.0.2 manually yesterday but didn't want to unlock my boot loader for fear of it wiping everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] af250xxl:
You mean wiping EVERYTHING as in the Android OS itself?

I don't really care if it wipes anything, since I just bought my GSM Galaxy Nexus

yesterday and there's nothing on it. :) On the other hand, I will probably wait

patiently for 4.02(or 4.04?) to arrive via OTA. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I agree. I have yakju and it will not update no matter how many times i check-in or check for updates. Blah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leenukes:
wipe all my data. There are binary images available and you can use fastboot to flash it.

There is a toolkit kicking around.

I'll find the link.

This is the thread for the tools: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362957

You can Google galaxy nexus factory binary images.

Tool is simple, download full image, put in obvious folder, run tool and unlock boot loader then flash Google factory image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You'll be waiting a long time for Facebook integration seeing as it's Facebook's fault it's not working. Google won't change anything as Facebook need to use the Google Contacts API to get it working again.

Until they change, there'll be no official Facebook sync option
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RayGarden:
"FriendCaster" is probably the best alternative.....at this moment :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Well, custom ROMs have it enabled but resolution is ****e. It's a start though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Yes, it wipes

EVERYTHING

.. the phone literally vanished from my hands after I unlocked the bootloader!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well I was hoping for more active Android updates by buying a Nexus phone. I must admit, having this for two months almost and only getting a firmware fix for volume bug has been a little disappointing. No 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 yet.

I'm considering updating manually, main reason why I don't though is simply because everything is set up perfectly and wiping everything would be so much hassle.

Oh well, the wait continues :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] todders:
I must admit I have become a little inpatient with the lack of updates.I unlocked boot loader and flashed 4.02 at the weekend. Kept me occupied for a few hours and learnt something new. Battery seems a little better and it seems even more responsive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Varghjarta:
I too am getting by underpants all up in a bundle over this. Do people in the UK get the yajku (sp?) official-updated-by-all-mighty-google-rom on their phones? Or the one where Samsung is in charge?

I'm in Sweden and I have some strange "regional" (with no actual regional adaption included) rom that Samsung is in charge of. I am also experiencing freezes and other bugs that I've seen seems to be fixed on 4.0.2, but when I get that update is a mystery. Oh the pain!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
De telefoner som är inköpta i England är alla yakju, dvs supportade av Google direkt. Om du vill göra om din GNex till yakju är det bara att låsa upp din bootloader och sen flasha 4.0.2 manuellt från Googles sida med roms för Nexus-telefoner :)

English translation:

Phones bought in the UK are yakju, i.e. supported by Google directly. If you would like to convert your GNex to yakju, you only have to unlock your bootloader and flash stock 4.0.2 manually from Googles page with roms for Nexus-phones :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
Yes 4.01 is buggy, but whats the point of them pushing out the next update when they have obviously done more work on it since then and after that! If you just wait for the one they actually push OTA you will have a great experience and lose none of your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chistery:
It's just the lack of comment from Google/Samsung on it that annoys me.
