I came from a thunderbolt to bionic and now this and this is by far the best phone ive ever had and best android phone to date I have seen and used regardless of carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnyce87:
I just returned my rezound last night for this as well, great phone so far. Only down side is the signal, compared to my rezound its crap so far in my apartment.(thank God for Wi-fi). Also the extended battery for this phone is kind of a joke. Not much difference in the mA, but the good thing is my phone isnt a tank. But I did like the build and the feel of the rezound a little better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] as0k:
I've only had 2 smartphones. My first was Nexus One and i loved it all the way. The only think i had to complain about was the storage for apps, wich was way too small.

So far i love everything withmy GN except the low notify/ring-volume (fixed with volume+), and hope this phone will stay with me for as long as the N1 did.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
I'm starting to have second thoughts. I previously had a Razr and after removing the bloat the thing ran great and had Amazing battery life. I like the design of the Nexus better. Feels and looks better plus it has ICS but there are a number of things that annoy me. Some are bugs and some are "features"

My Nexus while at first seemed great actually has a few issues that are making me second guess my decision to return my Razr.

1. When switching from Wifi to 3g/4g my data stops working. I have to switch to airplane mode then back to restore it.

2. The speaker phone is aweful. While in the car its completley useless. I spend half of my conversation repeating myself becuase the other person can't hear me. I did a comparison with my wife Incredible and it was night and day.

3. When typing on the keyboard I notice that they keys being registered are not the keys I am pressing. Not all the time but on average its worse than the razr. The upside of this is that the autocorrection of ICS fixes the mistakes so its a wash in the end but still annoying.

4. MTP file transfer fail often when transfering files. I ended up using a wifi ftp server to get my titanium backup files.

The last two are not so much bugs as design limitations.

5. No SD slot...I mean really... why can't nexus phones have sd cards.

6. No voice search button with the rest of the "buttons"

Anyone else seeing these things or is it just me? In the end the verdict is still out. If all of these issues (speaker phone too) are software related then I can wait out a fix. If not then I may have to go back to the Razr which seems to have more robust radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
I don't see why people are going nuts over this phone. Other than AOSP ICS it doesn't really have THAT great hardware. The screen is far from superb because of the pentile submatrix (1st mistake) not using exynos/mali (2nd mistake) having samsung build it (3rd mistake). I'm not saying it's a bad phone by all means, just seems like they really cut corners on a phone that's supposed to change the Android playing field. Once other high end devices get ICS the Nexus won't have anything over them. Well maybe just direct updates from Google, but once other devices get locked too that won't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SaitheShaman:
I'm pretty happy with my Galaxy Nexus so far. I'm coming from an OG Droid and this is like a breath of fresh air for me.

For me the pros:

1) Updates by Googles

2) Easy to Unlock and Root

3) More space than I'll ever need (especially with cloud capabilities becoming more and more prevalent)

4) I was so used to a slow and way out of date (though beloved) phone, I'm still kind of euphoric with how snappy this one is.

However, some cons:

1) The Radio. It's definitely not as strong as my OGs Radio. Areas I know are 4G sometimes drop as soon as I enter certain buildings and switch to 3G. Overall, I feel like I'm getting less bars than I used to. Hasn't really impacted me so far in functionality, but it is annoying.

2) Speaker Mic. The speaker phone on this thing is useless. It actually affects my voice search quite a bit with me having to repeat my commands often. I've worked around it by using the earbuds with mic that came with the device.

3) Camera Hardware - The new software is blazingly fast, however the hardware hasn't impressed me that much. its about the same as the OG Droids camera for me. I'm by no means a great photographer though, but I just feel like I'm taking the same pics but a ton faster now.

[Gen9 Android Development] Tha0lia:
Hi all,

I have tried to boot with µSD card. It's a cool idea for people who share their Archos G9 tablet or if you are paranoid like me (wipe a SD-card is easier than wipe a full SSD Archos).

I test with Class 6 16Gb Samsung µSD. I feel that it's fastier on µSD than SSD.

If somebody is interested by a howto or a video, ask kindly me :)

[Gen9 Android Development] sa_ma:
Hi,

a howto would be great to have
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Are you booting from and EXT4 partition on the SD card ? That might explain the performance boost, one of the thing we can do in the future is have an EXT4 partition on the internal storage of the device and run the os from there, that gets the speed up quite a bit... Same as $auron di with UrukDroid for the Gen8.
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Unfortunately, gen9 is a bit more complicated for this...

I created a thread regarding this with some information I gathered if someone is interested. Take a look here.

So, you're saying you can run the G8 off the external SD? If so, I'd be interested in this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Character Zero:
I have seen a lot of issues with installing the OTA and seeing installations that are aborted and having this message :

Assert failed apply_patch_check

To help troubleshoot the issue you need to post the full error message so someone can figure out what it is failing on.

But if you get that "Assert failed apply_patch_check" and in the parentheses it says "boot" and then letters and numbers, it means your kernel is different than .886. "But I am stock .886". No you are not, you installed a leaked update, your kernel is different than .886 and you cannot update with the OTA.

Hopefully 5.7.893 will follow and put most of us back on track and then 8.894 will put the rest except for some that installed some other strange versions floating out there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ursa81:
Hi! Yea I'm having massive troubles here. I've downloaded around 10 different ROMs, and all but the Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.2 aborts the installation process. Even worse, I've removed the original ROM and cannot use anything computer-based (like flashtool, fastboot) because of this.

can I update/repair my kernel? (when I reboot I see the icon of the "freexperia" logo from a leftover installation).

So the only things I have are my boot-unlocked SE Xperia Arc S, and Clockworkmod (CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.6) and a possibility to transfer files to my sd card via usb cable.

I just bought my Arc S, but since the #"%"¤# SE bloatware I got massive slowdowns and mermory-related issues very fast, so I wanted to uninstall some stuff. Of course it led me down a path of insane troubles so now I just want back to stock ROM. I've already wasted 10 hours of my life on this so soon a new phone will be cheaper :(

Any help is HUGELY appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpth:
you cant boot into the bootloader? hold down the volume buttons and the power button. once you do that you can flash the stock fxz files and get your phone back.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I am not sure I fully understand what you are trying to accomplish, but it seems like you are trying to upgrade to the latest official android release, right?

If so, it won't work. You need to get the newer version of MicroMod and use that to update. You should just be able to flash it over your current install without any wiping required.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonMaster345:
Well, today i will buy myself an HTC Dream for a measly 60 bucks

Its rooted and seems to have Cyanogenmod 6 apparently

BUT, since the fact that not many people enjoy CM on g1's because its not fast enough i want to find a decent and very snappy rom for my future g1.

most of my attention is going to EzGingerbread and Laszlo's Froyo rom

All i really want is a rom thats fast that can use many of today's apps (Angry Birds lol) and that can run Flash Player ( Android 2.1+) that i wont feel sluggish (Cm6 just doesent feel right..)

Aside from EzG and Lazfroyo

Is there any rom out there (and kernal) that is faster and more "fuller" than the two im interested in?

If so say so!

Thaaaaaaanks to whomever responds

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:

***************

you may as well stick with these two. i have flashed many many roms, and if you want "speed" and "fullness" on the g1 there aren't many that compete. if you want more speed then there are a few good ones to try, more "fullness" there are some of those two. but i cant find anything that has both as much as these two. well unless you like sense roms...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm using this guide and changing the file names for the LTE version based on the mysid-itl41d factory files google released. I need to unroot my phone to swap it after realizing the screen has a green washed out tint. I'm getting stuck trying to flash the actual zip file due to an error below:

C:\nexus>fastboot-windows flash radio radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek01.img
sending 'radio' (3704 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... OKAY

C:\nexus>fastboot-windows -w update image-mysid-itl41d.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
--------------------------------------------
Bootloader Version...: PRIMEKJ10
Baseband Version.....: I515.EK02
Serial Number........: 014691491501C017
--------------------------------------------
checking product... OKAY
checking version-bootloader... OKAY
checking version-baseband... OKAY
checking version-cdma... FAILED

Device version-cdma is 'I515.EK05'.
Update requires 'I515.EK01'.

I tried pushing the CDMA radio to the phone but the version doesn't seem to update. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
You're not flashing the radio correctly and the script is bombing on the radio check. In the package itself there is an flash-all script that will enumerate the steps needed.

This is not correct: fastboot-windows flash radio radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek01.img

Again, if your binary is named fastboot-windows then use that, the radio is the issue. That's radio-cdma, not radio.

If you want to do it manually here are the steps:

You need to flash the CDMA Radio

fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek01.img

Then flash the (LTE?) Radio

fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img

The automatic script also flashes the boot loader

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekj10.img

The use the provided ZIP:

fastboot -w update image-mysid-itl41d.zip

If you extract that zip you can also manually flash boot, recovery, system and userdata

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I knew I was doing something wrong... how exactly do I run the script? I'm a little new to using cmd to flash everything since I used odin primarily with my fascinate. Thanks!

Edit: do I type "sh flash-all.sh" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
It's a bash script, so if you're in windows you don't :)

Just do it manually

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekj10.img

fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek01.img

fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img

fastboot -w update image-mysid-itl41d.zip

The script reboots back into the boot loader after each flash:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I've flashed with fastboot many times and never did that, but it won't hurt anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It worked perfectly the second time around. Thanks a million!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anticitizen:
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I soft bricked my device this morning by flashing an incorrect update.zip and following these steps, after trying just about everything else, was the only way I could restore it.

Of course I had stupidly wiped my Nandroid backup when I tried a wipe to fix things. Due to the lack of a memory card, a full wipe takes out your Nandroid backups too! :eek: I forsee this causing lots of drama on these boards in the future, unless someone finds a way to access the internal storage while in recovery mode (from a computer that is).

Infuse vs S2

I took advantage of that $.01 sale at Amazon and bought two s2's for my wife and daughter...added new lines to family account and all was well...I thought due to the hype surrounding the s2's, I would be jealous and find a way to swap with the wife...

10 minutes after opening the box and setting them up, I was glad I was keeping the Infuse...The screen size diff. believe it or not is VERY apparent, at least to me...

And besides the diff. asthetics, it does not come with an SD card or HDMI Mini cable...Not big deals by themselves, but I expected MUCH more from these based on what I have read...

For $.01 they certainly are a "deal", but switching from an Infuse(and IMHO down) to the s2 provides nothing but proc. speed and Gingerbread...

I am an "average user" so the faster proc'r means nothing to me by itself...I actually took all three phones and loaded the s2's with some of the same apps I use daily on my Infuse...

I will keep the Infuse...

Get the Skyrocket friend at work has it and pulls 12 to 15mbs down easy at work which is in a bad signal area, while my infuse pulls 1 to 1.5mbs if i'm lucky and here in Los Angeles Lte is not even official, plus you won't have to downgrade screen size, I'll be getting a skyrocket soon because right now I can barely watch a YouTube video at work without buffering, Lte is going live faster than anticipated.

This is great. Im sorry but im not gonna take someones word on a phone and buy it. Go play with one, buy it and move on. If u want performance get a skyrocket.
[General Questions and Answers] rboone18:
I say screw that data speed I get 5down and 2up on infuse. I would rather sg2 over skyrocket better hardware and even screen quality is equally as good as Infuse faster CPU,gpu but still has great developer support that's where some developers probably went. That is why I consider sg2.

Really only reason I am considering a new phone is someone letting me have their new line phone I would pick out pay new line price for my tricked out infuse. Really if I say no they just going to get infuse and want me to do it to theirs.

I miss the size of my infuse but I am happy with this s2 until the s3 or something better comes out!

Agree with uaguilar. I have the gs2 and wife has infuse (w/ miui, too). Performance difference is significant. Play with one for a little while and you'll see where it's noticeable.

Do you care about sound quality through headphones? Would you miss the screen size 4.5 vs 4.3? If not go with S2
