Sorry for the OT, but...

...Can anyone send me via PM a dump of the system partition of a CDMA RAZR after the upgrade to the new OTA?

If you want... dd if=/dev/block/system of=/sdcard/system.img

Thank you!

I could use some help. I went from CWM on boot, to safestrap. When I switched to safestrap, I did a nand but it was of nitro's deodexed ROM, so it is not fully stock.

I have that on my non-safe and RazrX on my safe. What is my best, easiest way to get to a point that I can get the ota?

And, once I take the ota, we are stuck with this ROM/build until a new ROM comes out based on it?

Ok , I resolved this . I deleted the file off the sd card then went to the pc and changed file permissions ( not sure if that is what done it or not ) . Then I did the process anew and it worked ! Thank you ! Hopefully I'll be able to tell a difference tomorrow .

Got the OTA. Updated. Re-root with doomlord. Done. Pretty easy process for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheFuzz:
I really don't want to screw this up!! So, I uninstalled safestrap, went back to my safe system, installed razrbootstrap, confirmed I can get into recovery that way.

I have a ROM that has been modded, the battery icon etc, so it is not true stock. I have the full stock rom from nitro 2011-11-16stock.zip on my sdcard-ext. Should I now install this via razrbootstrap, reboot, then try and apply the update???

Does this make sense? And, what seems to be the best way to keep root? I have seen many different suggestions on many different forums on how to maintain? I really don't want to screw this up!!

Help!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
+1 , I unrooted before applying OTA using doomlords unroot. Applied OTA then rerooted. Easy peasy
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheFuzz:
Still have Superuser after update but no root

So, I thought I did things right and installed "forever root" prior to applying the update, rebooted, installed the update, actually it installed itself. But! After when I went back into my apps, I still had superuser installed, but I was not rooted. I tried using Doomlord's one click root and it failed because it found superuser.apk already installed. I need to get rid of the version of superuser I have, I believe then I can re-root. Can someone point me in a direction to get this accomplished so I can get back to root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
so, far I download the update from the OTA, not the link in OP - it downloads goes to unpack it and turns into a triangle over the android. Reboots. Update fails....could be I need to get rid of the recovery I flashed on it from day one. Doing a master reset still keeps clockwork recovery. And then at times it is slow to reboot and is stuck a the dual core screen until I unstick it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
Could you have the su installed from the market? If so, you could probably uninstall... Just a thought.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Check unknown sources on your phone and try again. Same exact thing happened to me. Just keep running it until it takes.

i posted this in another area which i believe was the wrong area

but basically this is the situation

I have the Droid Razr, trying to do my update...had it rooted from DOomLord root thing...rooting was easy and fine...worked great....all between that and jrummy16 toolbox pro, i changed a few icons, and it is suppose to back it up...apparently it takes back ups over and over, and it copied over my original icons, and im guessing that is the only thing left holding me back from updating my Razr, unrooted verified unroot, can anyone provide any assistance, I already tried wiping and factory reset...it did nothing as far as returning icons or allowing me to update via setting about phone...nor the recovery boot method with the file itself.

PLEASE HELP!!!! IM STUCK!!!

SafeStrap is like that by design. No ROM flashing allowed from the non-safe mode, it's in HASH's instructions.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
Nitro's recovery worked with installing the OTA. Go here to get the stuff you need for the preinstall folder and, if you need it due to deleting the bloatware, the original ROM. Voodoo OTA rootkeeper from SuperCurio will keep your root during the process:

I have a GSM galaxy nexus on T-mobile and I just noticed that my google+ app takes up 110mb of space.

Is that normal or is something weird with this? Seems way too high for an app like this...

It is updated through the market and otherwise operates normally, just taking up a lot of space...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
my is

Total 29.94

App 21.10

Data 1.08

USB SD 7.77
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamontoast1291:
Mine is taking up around 130mb so I think it's normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knome:
Thanks for the feedback. I think it took up a lot less space before I updated and the app was still sporting the black Google+ icon.

After the update (red icon) the total space used shot up.

I'd prefer that the app be smaller since it's not something I can uninstall, but not a huge deal, and I'm glad it's not something wrong on my end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
Mine is like 30mb and my music is like 70mb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scouter68:
Mine is at 236 MB!!

I am glad I have a lot of space free. It would be nice to figure out why it is so big and how to limit the amount of data that is downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berkmanmd:
I think its caching your pictures
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
Mine is up to 2.11 Gb total! :eek:

21.10 Mb (App)

45.68 Mb (Data)

2.04 Gb (USB storage data)

It's definitely the pictures. The app was downloading all of this by default in the background. Good thing I was on wifi while this happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knome:
Guess this mystery is more or less solved. I still don't understand why the app needs to download so much picture information but at least it only get's as out of control as your picture gallery. Hope they find a better way to deal with this, or at least make the downloaded galleries more useful or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jSchmiez:
its normal. Mine is taking up about 800mb. Got to remember the app storage shows SD cache now also, that's the bulk of the space used.

Hey guys

Have any of you guys suffering from the issue where when your device is charged with an AC adapter, the screen is either locked up or will just navigate itself through menus and stuff?

I woke up way to early this morning after I received a call via home phone from a friend who said that I kept calling him at 5am three times in a row. After I looked at my phone it was making dialing random numbers by itself.

This doesn't happen on the USB charging via computer but from a wall adapter. Have you experienced this before? Is there a solution for this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoang.pham:
I got the same problem since launch, but never could really cause it on demand. but yes mine does the exact same.

I realized this morning, and a reboot doesn't fix it. while charging on AC it would do it, but it does happen without the AC charger plugged in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Check out the Developer menu and enable the Display User Input option (don't remember the exact name, but you should be able to figure it out). Watch it when it happens and see if there's any kind of pattern to how it operates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elfarto:
Are you using the original AC adapter or some 3rd party one.

I got exactly the same problem on other Samsung android phones if i used a 3rd party AC adapter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Ha! I used a third party (more precisely, Apple). Will try to charge it with the stock charger this time. Someone just suggested me to charge turn off USB debugging (?) will also try that as well. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattchenzo:
3rd party adapters that are slightly different voltages will do this... happened on my OG Droid and my Droid X2 as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
I by no means can take credit for any of these but I've have the wallpapers since my Droid X and the Ringtones since my Samsung SCH-i760 - but they still seem to work if you like basic items.

[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I just got my Rezound today (it is a CLN Replacement for my Droid Charge). So all that I got was the phone and the back (then I also had to order the battery and back separately so I have two backs now), I didn't get any of the other stuff. So no headphones or manuals or SD card or anything like that.

So I took the SD card out of my Charge and put it in the Rezound and noticed that it shows up under ext-sd using ES File Explorer. Is there a reason that it does that? What is the easiest way to fix that so it reads everything properly?

This is my first HTC phone so it is going to take some getting used to, especially with no manual (I will probably download it later). So far it seems like a pretty nice phone.

Next I have to figure out how to root (temporarily) so I can run titanium backup to get all of my apps and app data on this phone. How do you get in to that menu to see what state S-Off/On is in?
[HTC Rezound] birddog79:
After a complete power down, hold the volume down key and press the power button until it boots up. Keep pressing the volume button and the bootloader will come up. It will say S-On at the top.

None of the Rezounds came with instruction manuals.
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
This is my situation as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
until we get permanent root (s-off), i don't think we will have a way to fix the fact that the external sd card gets mounted as sdcard2 or ext-sd. you will have to just copy or move all of the stuff from your sd card over to the built in storage if you want most apps to read the data properly... unfortunately.
[HTC Rezound] HTC Rezound:
Like everyone else has said, we are currently s-off so have fun moving everything directly to your internal storage. There is temp root now thought. I reccomend clean took
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
you mean S-ON
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
So the Rezound also has the sdcard issue too

Is there some reason the app developer's wont provide

a option in the app, for the app to find its data files,

(in this case the actual e-books and related data).

It seems counter-intuitive to not support what is going

to be the standard (in HC 3.x and ICS 4.x). Google,

from what I've read, decided that fat32 wasn't a

good idea (ties to mickey$loth etc). Those OSes

instead use a FUSE mounted re-director to mount

/sdcard over a ext3/4 subdirectory to avoid the

Incredible's no app space but lots real space issues.

This also allows devices with no SD slot to have an

/sdcard mount point. As I understood it, those devices

don't even support USB Mass Storage (as it conflicts

with sharing the single ext type partition). Something called

MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) is used instead.

http://www.androidcentral.com/ics-feature-mtp-what-it-why-use-it-and-how-set-it

Regardless of the USB mode mount issue, I can see not any logical reason

an app can't be told to look at specific path (for example /sdcard2/kindle)

vs defaulting to /sdcard/kindle) to avoid the wastefulness and silliness

of having to sync the internal storage /sdcard/<appname> with the

real external external storage /sdcard2/<appname> directories to cope

with the changes.

Anyone have any idea how to either automate the sync process,

or 'teach' the Nook and Kindle apps to look at /sdcard2 instead of

/sdcard for the data directories? I was hoping for a short term

way to sync the 2 sets of directories via adb (after temp root

if required).

If / when we get s-off / perm root adjusting the /system/etc/vold.fstab

to repoint the mounts to the places the apps actually look, (unless, of course,

the app devs fix the apps to allow an arbitrary path to data setting).

Right now on my HTC Flyer I mount the 2 filesystems as USB Storage

(on GB 2.3.4) and run a sync program on my laptop, awkward

but it works.

Thanks

A lot of people here are saying Google can/will update the camera quality in an update. Is that even possible? It seems odd that a 2011 camera sensor shoots such poor photos in low light. Its decent in really bright environments but anything else is really poor. There's a ridiculous amount of noise in photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Yea they could, but it would be a pretty hefty sized update.

Probably just ISO adjustments and tweaks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shoman24v:
This **** needs to take photos in widescreen. It can do 1080p video but take 4:3 pics. That's my biggest beef.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
1080p = 1920 x 1080 pixels. 2073600 pixels, which is about 2 megapixels. In other words, the widescreen of 1080p isn't actually using the full sensor, whereas the 5mp still photos do. Automatic widescreen cropping could be added in an update, or via a different app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
Yeah I agree, I think also something in compression department.

Once I take a peek on meta of picture taken by this phone. For f/2.8 and ISO 640 the result was too grainy too much noise. I believe they could improve this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SenorFusion:
Alternate Title: "Why Verizon and Samsung can Suck It"

DISCLAIMER: This post is purely my opinion and based on absolutely nothing except my experience with both batteries, and knowing Google and Verizon

The extended batter on the Nexus is perfect.......Too Perfect.

My nexus feels like an entirely different phone after.

Before, there was always an impending feeling that I that the phone was about the slip out of my hand. I could drop it at any moment. (with no case).

I slipped in the new battery in the VZW store parking lot and I couldn't believe what I was feeling. I'm still getting a case, but with this batter I'm confident I could hold on to it easily without one if I wanted to.

The back, that's maybe 1mm larger, completes the teardrop design of the phone PERFECTLY.

As several other have said, It just feels right.

My Theory: This is the phone that Google designed.

Do you think the engineers at Google looked at this amazing phone they designed and said "ok for the battery cover, lets go the opposite direction of the entire design and make the back concave IN THE OTHER DIRECTION"

No.

Do think they looked at this monsterous 4.5 inch samsung screen, and Verizons LTE network and said "Yea, lets put an 1850 mAh battery in this thing, even though we know the Bionic offers a whopping 2760 mAh extended battery and we could easily fit a 2100"

No.

What about common sense? What do you expect when you get an "exteneded battery?"

You expect it to be bigger. You expect it to stick out from the back. You expect it to mess up the lines and flow of the device because your trade off is a large capacity battery.

You don't expect the design to be lacking in the regular battery, literally noticeably wrong, and have the extended battery complete the real design.

Don't you think Google knows this?

With the extended battery this phone is too perfect, too symmetrical, the lines are too good, and common sense (Which you better believe Google wants in their flagship product) says they designed this phone for this battery.

So, Verizon or Samsung (or probably both, because they both get paid) made the deal with Google contingent on putting a smaller battery in the phone and thus creating the world's easiest upsell in the "extended" battery.

For people that already have the extended battery, I'm betting you agree.

If you don't have it yet, don't be quick to call BS on me here until you hold it in your hand. It's impossible to describe well enough the differences and perfection achieved until feel it and see it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
I don't know about all that but this phone does feel awesome with the extended battery. I don't know why but before it felt very slippery and unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
This. The phone feels so much better in your hand with the extended battery cover, it needs to be experienced first-hand (no pun intended).

Although I have no idea whether google designed it that way or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogreenbay07:
I was actually thinking the same thing but considering the extended battery was only $25 I really don't mind paying for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berkmanmd:
I really dig the added weight. It feels more...solid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Now I really can't wait to get this damn thing. Tomorrow hopefully. They said 2-day shipping when I ordered on Friday, today would make the 3rd day, but it didn't come. Bastards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
same thing happened to me. i complained to fedex, gonna see what they say lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niuguy:
Depending when you ordered Friday its probably shipped Monday. I ordered my phone and extended battery Friday night and while I got a shipped email sunday (I think) Fedex didnt actually receive the item from Verizon until Monday at 6 AM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipson626:
I can't decide about how I feel about the extended battery. Luckily, our phones here came with both 1750 and 2000 mAh and covers in the box so I can switch back and forth. The 1750 battery/cover has the back concave with the little hump on the bottom. I think that keeps the design a bit consistent with their other Galaxy's (S II, S II LTE). I agree with you that the extended battery cover completes the tear drop PERFECTLY which surprised me. On the other hand, I think the added weight just makes me feel like I'm going to drop it. It's defiantly noticeable and I prefer the weight of the 1750 battery.

I'm not sure if I want something more comfortable and light or something better looking with more power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
My ext. battery showed up yesterday. With as much as I'm playing/setting up the phone, I needed more juice. I like having the added power and don't mind the weight/size, plus it still fits in my Incipio case (slight bulge but nothing I'll worry about). Once my honeymoon phase is over with the GN, I can flip-flop between batteries should I need to. Plus it was $25, can't pass that up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Also, just for grins I thought I would mention the verizon phone shell is thicker not just the rear cover compared to the GSM..... So seeing as they already re-worked it for the bigger standard battery it would make sense that the extended battery works well with it. Even tho I'm really not a fan of most Verizon phones due the the need for huge bricks for batteries that are notoriously packed on the back.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
Does anyone else have an issue where the ext cover is slightly popped up around the camera? You can basically push the cover in/out right below the camera.

I think I read someone else posting about the cover not seating, but I think it may have been the stock cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Holy crap! You were kidding about this thing. This phone should've just shipped like this in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbenj:
I have this issue on both the stock and extended battery, don't know why or if i should be worried about it though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I think you should send your fellow korean in the states your 2000 mah battery and cover :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] S4Rs:
I want to get the extended battery, But I want to know that it will work with the real car dock (the one that uses the pin connectors) whenever that thing is finally in stock. I am really upset that verizon is selling that cheap car dock knock off right now and isnt offering any accessories that take advantage of the pin connectors right now. (probably because they dont work with cases and VZ would rather sell more cases right now.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordo_99:
If Verizon/Samsung put as much thought into this as you believe they did then you'd think they would have also realized that it's going to be much harder to convince someone to buy an extended battery because it feels better than because they need the extra juice? I would probably side with you if the stock battery was 1600mA or something but it's a sufficient 1850mA and the extended battery is barely larger.

I do agree with you to an extent but to say that they purposely flawed the design is a pretty big statement to be making...especially when this phone sits on the shelf right next to the Droid X and Razr which have FAR worse backs than this phone. Verizon didn't coax Motorola into poorly designing their phones so that the Nexus's faults would fly under our radar did they?

Perhaps, I'll have an incredible moment of epiphany when I get mine in the mail today but for now I remain skeptical.

It's only 1mm thicker...while that COULD be enough to make it fit improperly I doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
i agree entirely with the OP. idk if samsung and/or verizon did it, or if google did it, but i do think that it was a bit of a cop out to put the crap factory battery in it. i think im going to pick up an extended today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
FWIW the GSM version also has a smaller battery, smaller than the VzW version I believe, so you can't really pin this all on Verizon. But I do agree the extended battery makes for a better overall experience. I'm pretty much always around a charger so it's a non-issue for me, but I still go with the extended battery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
Where are the pictures of this holy extended battery?

Update: nevermind, I don't have Verizon. Lucky you guys. :D
