[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brakeb:
yea, nothing is working... i installed droidwall to try and allow ssh in, but that did not work either... still hoping it work soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
Yeah, I can still ssh from the phone to the computer perfectly over the cell network, but it doesn't work in either direction over wifi. I've checked and rechecked all the router settings and even rebooted the router, but it won't work.

I'm no expert but I can't live without ssh so if I stumble across anything I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brakeb:
I cannot live without ssh too... and here is the kicker... if you PuTTY, it works QuickSSHD... don' t ask me why...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brakeb:
Just installed firebind, and was able to test and it says that port22 is open inbound and outbound... that only means the port is open... if droidssh and quicksshd are busted in any way, that may be the case...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
I downloaded Firebind and it says the same. If I turn off Quicksshd and try to connect, it immediately says "connection refused", but when I turn it on, it just hangs, so it is obviously trying harder when Quicksshd is enabled. I'm going to try a different kernel if I find one. It looks like the kernels are only for 4.03 so I'll have to get a 4.03 rom and there's not much to pick from yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubik:
I can SSH from my linux box into my GNex. Quick question, doesn't SSHDroid default to listen on port 2222 instead of 22 ? I thought that is the case. If it is, you are trying to connect to the wrong port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
What's your phone setup? I'm trying from Linux too but I borrowed a windows box and tried putty, tried quicksshd and ssh droid, everything. What bugs me is that SSH phone to comp works, but only when not on wifi. The same setup and commands work on my Nexus One on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
I don't know if it is related but my phone has a bigger problem... the MAC address changes on every reboot.

On the router, I had set the IP address I wanted the phone to connect to 3-4 times over the past few days. I thought I must have kept forgetting to hit "apply" until I looked a little closer tonight and realized I had set it for a different MAC address yesterday. I found it changes to a new MAC address every boot.

I found this thread where someone had that problem and Samsung replaced it. I called Verizon and after some head scratching (in which they didn't rule out a "hidden setting") they decided to swap it. I'll go to the store tomorrow instead of waiting for one to ship.

I'll report is ssh works after the swap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubik:
Stock 4.0.1 , locked & not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
Well, I got a new phone because of the MAC address problem and while it fixed a lot of issues (crashes, lockups, battery drain etc that I had attributed to non ICS compatible apps) I still can't ssh while connected to the router from the command line or ssh to the phone with QuickSSHD, but I can connect to the computer through ConnectBot. That's not really useful to me, but at least some sshing does work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brakeb:
No, I changed it to port 22. and have tried on port 2222 as well... no change.

The weird thing for me is... When I set up wireless tethering and connect my laptop to the phone, I can then SSH with no issues. Also, if my phone is connected to my wireless network, and I use PuTTY, then it works, but OpenSSH based SSH connections fail miserably. I can ping on Windows, OpenBSD, and Mac OS Lion, but OpenSSH-based SSH connections fail.

Is PuTTY OpenSSH based? I'd imagine not, considering that it connects to the phone.

I keep trying to get logcat output but I have no place to send them to. The developers of both QuickSSHd and SSHDroidPro seem out of contact. Don't know if it's because of the holidays...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fubaya:
I got a new router, a cheap DLink, and ssh works perfectly now. I can't understand why it didn't work with my old one, but everything was set up right and worked remotely, just not when connected to the router.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fairmont:
Howdy guys,

I've had the same issues with my Nexus as well, cannot ssh/sftp to the phone when on my home wifi or 3G. using QuickSSHd to open a port and I can ping the phone from my command line but apart from that I get nothing.

I think something has been blocked to prevent access to the phone.

I'm running a Peter Alfonso 4.0.3 ROM

Frustrating when I used to be able to ssh to my jailbroken iphone from practically anywhere with anything!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AppelonD:
I just leaned that to make this work on a Fresh installed ICS 4.0.3 in my case (Pixel ROM) on my Nexus S, I had to jump in to ther terminal emulator once and execute su - and then grant it superuser rights. Then after that SSHDroid now finish initialization, and you can SSH to it....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
Sorry if this was already asked... If I unlock the bootloader and root, will I still get OTA updates? (I dont plan on flashing ROM's just yet...). I heard Verizon has a fix for the signal issues in the works and I do not want to miss that OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
If you install a custom recovery like clockwork mod you won't be able to install an OTA but you don't have to install that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
So I can unlock and root and still get OTA's as long as I don't install CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Yes you will get the update. Note that after the OTA you will lose root and just need to re-root the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azn android:
Okay thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnivalrejectq:
Im just wondering if anybody has come across a digitizer/lcd replacement for the epic touch? My screen is broken except for the bottom capactive buttons and I cant use insurance. I cant seem to find the parts anywhere though , compared to other phones. Any help? Anybody come across them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duke4eva:
The parts will run you around 150$, so it might be worth it to just pay the TEP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Stickies clearly state not to post Q&A in General:

Questions do NOT belong in General! Post in Q&A Instead

Moving this thread to the correct location
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnivalrejectq:
This occured to me but I figured since its not about actual workings of the phone it might be ok in general. My aplogies . Yea I'm not sure I can use tep because the screen is cracked and it looks like my fault , I've also used tep too many times before. And on top of it all Its rooted with the little yellow triangle.....I'm willing to pay the $150 but I can't find the parts anywhere on the internet , nor does my local repair shop have any for the gs2.
[EVO 4G General] smelkus:
I recently noticed my phone really chewing threw the battery when I was running through the news, Twitter, etc. But, when it was just idle, the battery hardly moved at all.

I think I finally narrowed it down to the latest Twitter update to 3.0.0. I normally only sync my Gmail, but somehow the latest Twitter made some changes that really put the hurt on my stock battery. Go to Twitter> Menu>Settings>(your username at top under "Account Settings") and uncheck Sync data, and scroll down and change Contact settings to Don't sync. For good measure, I changed Sync interval to 4 hours before disabling it. Since doing those changes my battery hardly moves when using Twitter. Before those changes, I could literally watch the percentage count down while on Twitter.

Thought I'd share this in case anyone else was experiencing the same thing. I was sort of surprised because I usually make a point to only sync with Gmail and then found this app going crazy. I was tipped off to the app when I noticed my soft key lights coming on and off while using Twitter and then I used System Tuner Pro to help narrow it down.

Hope that helps someone.
[EVO 4G General] MakeMeFibonacci:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling. You may need to reflash your rom. I've noticed that sometimes my battery drains quickly and overheats after restoring a backup or flashing a rom, or installing an app.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If that works, great. If not, then do a nand backup and reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and reflash. If it still doesn't work, then ****... I have no idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dcam1075:
Anyone else having issues sending and receiving MMS messages while connected through WiFi calling on the KL1 update? This always worked with WiFi calling on other devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
Its hit or miss. At times mms will send when wifi calling. Other times it doesnt. Wifi calling has been very buggy for me in general
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dcam1075:
Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me or a limitation of the new WiFi calling app. I have not had it work at all yet, but I will keep trying.

Same prob here. If you turn wi fi off then mms will go through
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paladine01:
So I haven't updated my radio in a while and it's out of date, so I wanted to move to 2.15.10.07.07. I'm running CM7 and rooted with S-off.

If I install the update, will I lose my root and have to redo it? If so, does unrevoked 3 still work? Been out of the loop for a while.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Installing the radio will not interfere with your root status. Just ensure you have the proper file name to install via hboot: PB31IMG

Here's a link to the radios: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=18

CHARGE YOUR PHONE TO A RELATIVELY HIGH LEVEL THEN...

1) check md5

2) go into hboot

3) Accept the update

4) Once it accepts the update, boot into the phone (do not go into recovery)

5) update your PRL via *228 or *22899

**wait a minimum of ten to fifteen minutes if you are stuck on the splash screen before you pull the battery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
He's not going to be able to update PRL on CM. Well... it can be done... but not by dialing *228, with CM running.

But otherwise good advice above.

After you Flash the new radio...and want to update PRL...

1. Back up your current system (nandroid)

2. If you have a nandroid of a stock-sense based rom, restore that, or flash a new one.

3. dial *228, press 2 for update

4. let the phone reboot

5. then after that, restore CM nandroid

Don't forget to do the wipes while switching between Roms.

What a hassle, I know...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paladine01:
New radio works great - no hassles.

Do I need to update the PRL? What do I gain by doing this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
DEFINITELY follow his method being that you are on CM7. It slipped my mind about the differences with Sense vs AOSP radio flashes. My apologies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
about PRL...

I'm not an expert, but what I have gathered it is a list of preferred verizon cell towers. Having the most up to date list means getting the best coverage on their network. For example, a new tower could be built or leased and you could get better reception in some places.

It's not especially critical. But, better reception and coverage is not a bad thing, it is probably worth the effort once in a while.

edit-- verizon says every 6 months??? i bet once a year is plenty... unless you've got a 4G phone and the network is growing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N-Forced:
You can infact update the prl on CM7 and MIUI without loading a Sense rom. Just call *228 then do update 2, the only thing you can not do is load a custom prl, for that you need to be running sense, not to update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
So just make a big liar out of me then... lol. I guess i am totally wrong.

I just did it on INC DECK 1.3. I swear it has never worked for me before! And ive tried on CM and even just a week or two ago on INC DECK... nothing... no awful Verizon muic... just an error message. Oh well, update away. Sorry for the bad info.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuffaloChips:
Well, if you can't update it using *228, what did it do when I used it yesterday? I am on CM7.2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Why does *228 not work on cm? I thought it would work on an Verizon contract phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplesage:
thanks for the info!!
[General Questions and Answers] takemo:
I have followed the Autostart Navigation on the Tasker Wiki page. I was wondering if it is possible to turn the screen off when I'm on the same road for a specified amount of time? And then turn the screen back on maybe 5 minutes before the next direction is given? Since I have a pattern lock, is there a way to unlock this with tasker?

I'm fairly new to android and tasker, so I'm not even sure if this is possible. I searched the forums and online but couldn't find a solution.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamnottypingthis:
So, I've been removing / stripping media and languages from apks for a few different ICS roms. I just have a few questions. Does the framework APK have to be signed, or no [like the 'system' apks]? Also, how can I extract, or view the resources / decompile / resign* in the jar files in the framework folder?

I wasn't sure if Android had an API for this like BBOS does for .cod's, or I'd just make a program to do it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Smoghog:
I keep getting the pop-up notification from Device Management about the update for my SGS2. Currently, I'm running stock with the launch version (I777UCKH7), rooted with my own tweaks. I'd rather not bother with an incremental update and just keep things the way they are for now (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) until ICS comes along...

Can I disable the check/notification? It's getting really annoying to have to hit it several times per day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cpenticuff:
I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, and maybe someone knows how to do that exactly...

I would say go for the update... I don't believe anyone has had any problems with it. Me personally: I tried to update but it gave an error and wouldn't install, and now I don't get the notification anymore even though I didn't "really" update. My S2 is rooted with most junk removed via Titanium Backup, but stock rom and modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Smoghog:
I totally forgot to come back with an update. I followed your advice and accepted the next time it asked if I wanted to update. It began, then said that I was already up to date. Hasn't bothered me again since then. Odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
Haven't found a way to remove frequently called or contacted from the phone or people app. Kinda sux seeing my ex's info right there every single time. Temps me to text or call. And yes drunk texts apply here so it'd b nice to be able to remove these on demand lol

Anyone know how?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Press the menu button and then clear call log.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
Not the call log. The frequently contacted. Its the last column in each app, phone app and people app. designated with a star icon at the top of the people app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Oh sorry. I misunderstood you. You could try clearing data in the contacts app. Not contact storage.

I haven't tried it so I can't confirm. That's my only educated guess. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
Not work :-(

Anyone know how?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Have you tried. Logging in on your computer and digging around? I looked briefly the other day and didn't see anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peanutplanters:
bump this !

This is super annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Hold down on contacted and then hit the 3 dot thing and tap remove from log. To remove favorites you gotta log in and click on contact and then find the find the setting to remove starred contacts but it didnt update on phone. I dont know how to proceed with that part.

On market there's a app called history eraser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UndergroundWire:
Bump. This really is annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Only way I have found is to clear data for contacts storage. Really annoying, hope they add it in later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
Not working on GN .... :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Clearing data in contacts storage works on mine, and it must on yours as well.

Only thing I can think of if that doesn't work, is if you store your contacts on phone or sim. But can't understand why you would do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boot_sectorz:
How can this data be cleared? I have been trying to find a way to clear the frequently called list for weeks since ICS came out!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Anyone thought about checking in their Gmail account online to see if Google has said contact(s) flagged as frequently contacted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Settings

Apps

All

Contacts storage

Clear data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boot_sectorz:
Sadly that clears even the call log. I want to clear the frequently called list or some specific numbers from that list but maintain my history.

I don't mind the frequently called list to be hidden since I can manually clear the history. Frequently called list however does not allow deleting some numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
+1

This really is annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barbaragha:
you could just install exdialer from the market. you can delete individually calls from call history (incoming/outgoing/missed). and you get T9 dialing with it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff missing from the stock dialer.

doesn't consume much resources, very fast, and you can have it look almost exactly like stock dialer with its ICS theme.

If you want to have the same stock dialer icon you can use desktop visualizer (free) and link it to the stock dialer icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boot_sectorz:
Does not have a way to delete frequently called list :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crios:
Bump....Up..Up...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] textshell:
I'm sure there's a way using a the java api, but if you're rooted you could just try to clear the information from the underling database.

If you know sql (UPDATE tbl SET ...) look at /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database/contacts2.db and clear the columns "times_contacted" and "starred" in the tables "contacts" and "raw_contacts".

Of course make backups first, i never tried this. So the usual, if it breaks, you keep to pieces.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
i think im going to submit a request for this on the AOKP release... it would be nice to have this built right in if it works...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pascanu:
That's not the frequently called, that's the "Starred in Android" group.

Just open the contact and deselect the star (upper right).

You can also do it in Gmail - Contacts and it will sync.

[EDIT]: I just realized that bellow the Starred contacts the list goes on with Frequently Called.

The list is just useless, the contacts in that list are not even the ones I contact the most. No idea how to erase those, but I'll continue to search and post here if I find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pascanu:
Solution

Here's your solution:

1. Use MyBackup Pro http://goo.gl/XTKbH to backup the call log; there might be other apps that can do the same thing, this is the one I used

2. turn off AutoSync in Android Settings

3. Setting -> Applications -> Contacts Storage -> Clear Data

4. turn on AutoSync

5. wait until Contacts are synced again; wait or you can check progress in Settings -> Accounts -> youraccount@gmail.com

At this point you can check that you have all contacts but no Call log and no Frequently Called

6. enter MyBackup Pro and in Options check Append Call Log

7. restore Call Log

8. after it's finished it will ask you to reboot

After all this you should have all your contacts and Call Log but no Frequently Called. Sorry, I don't think there's a way to delete only one contact from that list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9wire:
I didn't see this thread when I started a whole new one. I cleared data in contacts storage, and it worked. Wondering if there might be a way to change permissions so it wouldn't keep the frequently called log, but keep everything else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smohanv:
this option works,

Menu -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> Contacts Storage -> Clear Data

But again painful...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
Will this delete all my contacts as well? I do sync with google, but I worry some may fail. I had an evo crap out last year that everything was "synced" it wasnt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] textshell:
Permissions won't work, this is columns in a database (as almost all data on android; sqlite)

Either somebody needs to code what i outlined above in java and add auto run, or do some work with triggers if sqlite sufficently supports them)

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Obviously. If you delete the data of the contracts provider.

In theory synced contacts should come back. I wouldn't recommend it.

Doing it cleanly with sqlite (and root) isn't that hard to do.

Wouldn't break my heart if frequently called and call log were disabled altogether.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisdogg:
I don't think there is any way to do this. I couldn't do it on Gingerbread either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stretched:
This is stupid we have to backup the phone, delete and restore to clear out this. Is it writing its own table? Or just parsing an existing one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boot_sectorz:
Gingerbread was easy. Just install frequently called remover and all will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 321X:
I've found out that:

History eraser

Clear contact data (via apps)

Long press items in fav list

Opening contact, open menu, anything?

Does not work at all

There are two scenario's imo:

Most frequently contacted (people app)

Most called (?) in dialer

all on the last tab.

When I change the so called most contacted person (I do not want to show) in Google Contacts (on the computer) it will disappear from the Most called tab in the dialer. I just changed one digit from the number and it is gone.

The people app however STILL shows the contact!!

Any other tips for the People app?
