So 4-5 month for the update from that of SE getting it to final... That's pretty damn sad man...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lolstebbo:
SE's already the most transparent OEM as far as the 4.0 update is concerned. They've already publicly released the alpha build for their ROM and they've been providing more updates on their progress than any other OEM. The release of the alpha build at this point in time (and Cyanogen's own estimate of 2 months) further bolsters what they and Motorola have been saying: the time-consuming part of OS updates isn't the coding, it's the certification (which Cyanogen doesn't have to deal with). Different policies and procedures across various bureaucracies (clearly) takes a lot of time.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ether_Man:
I know. I dont consider SE any worse than any other brand because of it... I just consider it really sad that it has to take so long between the release of the code until ANYONE gets the update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ani55:
Actually the galaxy s2 has a beta ics build (official) with pretty much everything working!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ether_Man:
Official? Where? I know there are 2 diffrent lines of unofficial ones. But have yet to see any official actual rom. Official confirmation that they are working on it yes. But find no official releases.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rayray2:
Hi, this may be a stupid question but will this update be applicable to all listed devices

regardless of where in the world and on what network they are sold?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alexgogan:
You can be guaranteed that the carrier of choice will also delay the procedure something wicked as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
Users of HTC Sensation see already enjoying Leaked versions of ICS... HTC is far ahead of other companies... Their leaked version is 99% stable with 2 to 3 minor bugs which are not even noticeable..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fastbenny:
I updated my Milestone X (Alltel CDMA) to this

Alltel just released the firmware update. And I found a Root for it as well. So I am Root.

BUT they have it just like Verizon has it now. You have to have mobile Hotspot plan, BUT only the new firmware can stop the use of the Wireless Tether.

So what I need is to downgrade my milestone X back to what it was before.. Like use a stock rom. But I can't access the clockwork recovery mode since I updated. I have searched almost everywhere. Please help me with this. I'm sure others are looking for a way to do this as well.

I can apply update.zip via Stock recovery mode, and i can also access bootloader.

Thank you

P.S: I'm new here, So if I posted this in the wrong topic area, Please just transfer it to the correct location. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] natekellie:
I recently did the same and experienced the exact same frustration with tethering. I have searched and searched for answers. I too believe that we need to downgrade, but I now have an boatloader error. From what I am reading, the error comes from the phone not accepting the downgrade. Unfortunately, I can't find the 2.3.5 sbf to load back on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Epiales:
With all the sales on Playbooks they are $50 cheaper than the Nook Tablet right now so I'm trying to decide between the two. I've heard the playbook can be rooted and android apk's can be used. Is this true? Anyone have experience with both? Which is objectively better?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Blackberry is dying. I would stay away from their phones & tablets.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Epiales:
the same is true for webos but the hardware of the playbook seems impressive for the price. i just need to know how viable android on the playbook is going to be.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
So hunting through the bloat I chance upon this interesting kibble. Using nobloat I disabled it and thusfar no issues...But doesn't anyone know what the heck it is?

Google wasn't much help in that regard.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Maybe it is the dreaded "Battery Sucker" we are all searching to disable/stake through the heart/flame to hell, cut it's scrawny head off???
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
that's weird, i just checked and mine has com.lge.wolfman
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Imagine it is the reason why the battery life is so horrible. And if so, why is it there to begin with? hehe
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
makes us actually wonder that question with serious thought, just WHY is it there and named so? i can actually say i saw battery life decrease when i enabled it. i could leave my phone unused in my holster all day and see little dropoff, but when i re-enabled com.lge.dracula i actually lost 3/4 of my battery power by mid-day!! coincidence?? maybe....LTE affiliation? possibly.... "battery sucker"?? certainly.
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
Well Dracula was also on my vivid

Sent from my LG Nitro HD
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Can someone run it with the others over at Skyrocket's forum n see if it's also available on their phone. If it is, then it might be LTE related.

Repherb, when u disable it, did u check to see if your LTE will work or not?
[LG Nitro HD] hashhash:
i froze dracula through Titanium backup , currently connected to LTE, no problems here, restarted to make sure. it is still frozen and LTE connected.

LG Optimute LTE. P930.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Who can we inquire to here in XDA to research on this random file? Can someone from XDA investigate with LG to find out the purpose behind this file?

Also, is there any possibility of some screenshots to show the difference freezing Dracula does to the battery life? This way we can prove that this file (or Wolfman) does suck the life out of the battery and is the reason behind the horrible battery life.
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
Froze it, no discernible difference in battery life imo.

Ran a video playback test, the extrapolated playback time at 40% brightness in airplane mode is about 5 hours 20 mins. The same test on my SGS2 got slightly over 8 hours.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
LTE works fine when disabled, i am going to dive into the OS to see what calls this. btw: after rooting with DoomLord v3 zergrush, i am getting a serious amount of FC with nothing disabled using GO launcher. anyone else having this? just a [Q]... not trying to cross post...

**************UPDATE******************

after running top, i found that "lg_fota" (OTA updates) calls the Dracula process. hope this sheds some light on this elusive process.
[LG Nitro HD] Dr Doppio:
I hate to reopen a two year old thread, but since Dracula is actually undead, I just have to ask: has anyone figured out what com.lge.dracula is, and if it's safe to chuck it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durmonius:
I tried to unlock bootloader by this tutorial -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267273) and unlocked successfully but something gone wrong and after unlocking my X8 doesn't accept any SIM card... so I lock again bootloader and use SEUS but it won't help, my phone still doesnt accept any SIM. What to do now?

EDIT: mobile is simlocked (if it can help)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbass1234:

Hows your wifi holding up?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Congrats! Make sure to post your impressions on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
Open the box and let us see what is inside or it didn't happen! :)

Congratulations!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
ignore this post
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
So far so good it seems. However my router is in my room... and i hardly left my room. SOOOO that might helped it out xD.

I will say anything if i notice it acting funny.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
I will try to write something up soon. Overall i am pretty dang happy with it though. Besides one scare that i am still not sure what happened with and it hanging on Google earth if i stay in there too long so far it all good. But i will try to do a more in depth write up later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
but... but that picture was taken WITH the prime ( slightly cropped and rotated though)... OH I KNOW! TO THE MIRROR! lol

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
Nope that was just a box not a Prime. Come on take it all off! Ok, I may be getting a little too worked up over this! :)

p.s.: front and back view please! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
Oh if anyone wants to know.

I ordered mine from tigerdirect and got the 32gb champagne ( that looks grey if you ask me) version
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
ROFL.

I was making a bit of a joke though of how can i take a picture of the device when the original picture was with said device xD

but i will find my phone and take a photo real quick. brb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
I KNOW RIGHT!

That was how i was when it first told me it was shipped. Then i got all sad again when i reliased it would still be like 2 days to ship ... and then i was all !!!!!!!!! when it showed it was out for delivery. LOL

Oh btw picture have been taken and uploaded check above this post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newtybar:
Interesting, there have been numerous reports from people who called into customer service and were told that TigerDirect never received the grey/purple ones and only shipped out the champagne.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you place your pre-order? I ordered mine on 11/24 and was wondering if mine might be shipping soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
When i said purple i went champagne thinking the full name was champagne purple... but i seemed to have been confused or it changed. Either way i got the champagne one not the grey version sorry for the confusion.

Either way the names are confusing since champagne looks grey while the grey looks purple x-x

Also i ordered mine on the 27th so says my account
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
the two colors are:

grey vs gray

happy now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
Thing of beauty! I miss my preorder now more than ever! Some Where Out There....sigh!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
You will find your true love someday, i know it to be true.lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
I like the purple hue to mine... Purple is my favorite color! but it's not barney purple. Hell I keep mine in a leather case all the time anyways. I used the leather case (rooCase) from my TF its a little loose but it will work till my new TP roocase comes!

I'm curious as to what the champagne looks like in person.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
H8trs will claim it looks like urine ... IMHO to each their own
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zedklind:
Ain't she a beaut! ;-) mine comes tomorrow with a controller! :-D N64OID!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newtybar:
You are the first person I know to get the grey (purple)...where did you order it from.

People who preordered champagne seem to be getting theirs on time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
It was a hard choice to make myself. I like purple as well. But i decided on the champagne in the end. You make a good case ( no pun lol) about having a case though.

While maybe not in person but i did post a few pics ( front and back ) a bit back. Might be a better look then what is just all over the web.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
Yes she is! I been all giddy since i originally opened it.lol

Yeah i thought about getting a controller but in the end figured if i really wanted it i would just pick it up later.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Charles_A:
Which i wounder why. Why would champagne have President over the grey version. That just weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbg225:
It appears due to the supply shortage each retailer only got one color in first shipment but it could be either one for instance best buy has shipped multiple gray units but not a single champagne
[Omnia 7 General] CoreOxide:
Heya,

Out of nowhere my Omnia's 7 camera can't seem to focus anymore. It takes blurry pictures no matter what I do.

I tried resetting the camera settings and using a 3rd party app, but it didn't change anything.

Is there anything else I can try before resetting?

Thanks,

Alex.
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
Reset, and if it doesnt work, call Samsung.
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
Are you on Mango?

Are you trying to half-press the camera button or pressing the screen to focus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSeagull:
Currently, the Motoactiv app will only sync with the RAZR. I found a thread where somebody ported the apk and modified it to look for notifications outside of blur for incoming text messages.

Incoming calls are still hooked through blur and don't properly notify missed calls on the Motoactv even with the modified APK.

I am including the already modified APK, would someone be able to take a look at this and see if it would be easy to have incoming calls be hooked to the regular dialer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
I have a Nexus and the apk posted on this forum works fine for me with texts, calls and calendar appointments, have you tried it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dajoey:
I'm using a galaxy nexus with stock 4.0.1 as well, and I'm not seeing the same behavior. What's happening is I can receive text notifications. However, when I receive a call, it does not show the incoming call on the watch. I can't see who is calling or answer it from the watch. I have verified in the software that it's supposed to send both. It seems like it's not working with a non-blur dialer, as I was having the same problem with my Atrix after installing Cyanogen but not before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSeagull:
I'm in the same boat as dajoey. Calls cannot be redialed through the Motoactv on the galaxy nexus, they can on the razr. If I miss a call without the headphones plugged into the motoactv, there will be no notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Not to completely thread jack, but do you guys like the Motoactiv?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSeagull:
I received a free one from my employer, I would say its a great piece of equipment to own and the notification feature built into it is amazing, but I believe that it is overpriced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jug6ernaut:
Love mine tbh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
Anyone see the new hack that unlocks the android framework?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSeagull:
I did it to mine, without a launcher designed for that size screen its practically unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Thanks for letting me know, let's just say I can get them at a lower price, so cost isn't really an issue, but I'd rather buy something that is actually useful (which I think this could be) and cool. Nike's/TomTom watch is great if you use Nike+, but I like (or think I would) how the Motoactv can communicate with heart monitors and other accessories as well as be used on a bike.

Anything you particularly like it for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSeagull:
I did my Christmas shopping with it on, listened to music the entire time. With headphones plugged in it acts as a bluetooth headset so I was still able to hear all of my text notifications and take calls. That alone makes it a pretty awesome tool. Not to mention the motocast sync grabs my music and podcasts right from my iTunes library. I haven't used it for any fitness activities so I can't comment on that yet. Having the app made completely backwards (and forwards) compatible with other android devices would go a long way as well. It does look huge on the wrist though, I wouldn't wear it unless I had long sleeves to cover it up. Although while training, that would be a different story. I'll probably pick up a heart monitor for use at the gym with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wiaza100:
I hope a solution appears to activate Receive notifications of incoming calls with non motorola Phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intheb0x:
i have some questions

with using a cdma verizon galaxy nexus, is the apk working for notification of text, caller id, google apps like gtalk and similar?

im hearing conflicting reports and would like to know for sure.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nversestudios:
I have the 16 & 8 gb models, they both have the updated firmware and text, weather, and answering calls work on my tmobile samsung galaxy 2s.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madisonjar:
okay so I cant even get text or email notifications on my galaxy nexus...it shows connected through the app (and yes it is set to get notifications) but I dont get any no text email nothing...any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dank Holliday:
Same problem here.

What version of ICS are you on? Is your phone rooted? I am having the same problem. I am on 4.0.2. The phone appears to connect fine and I am getting the notifications from the weather app but that is it. I also noticed that if I set it up as a Moto phone in the watch setup the bluetooth icon in my notification bar on my nexus is still dim, but again I am receiving the weather notifications okay.

If I set it up and say it is not a Moto phone the BT icon on my Nexus is light up like it is when connected to other bluetooth devices, however I cant get anything but the weather to notify to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asimpereira:
MOTOACTV App to be released for all Android phones!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xpprofessional1:
can anyone help me here?

i have the samsung note AT&T with ICS 4.0.3 and i cannot answer my calls from the MOTOACTV or return calls from it. the call back button is grey out i can't press it to received calls or to call back. i also have the motorola sf600 bluetooth , i can see the call on the device but i can't answer from it i have to use the button on the bluetooth to answer my calls.:confused::confused:.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmj12345:
Did anyone else have trouble connecting their MotoActv to their Gnexus via bluetooth? No matter what I try, I can't get mine to connect. I have the latest software on the MotoActv, and tried multiple versions of the MotoActv android app, and when I bluetooth scan, it finds the MotoActv, but when I click on it I get the message "Couldn't pair with MOTOACTV because of an incorrect pin or passkey".

What am I doing wrong???

Edit: I'm on ICS 4.0.3, Gummy custom ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmj12345:
Disregard above, I restarted the MotoACTV and my phone and it paired up just fine!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mygti02:
So ill be switching to Verizon in the next week or two, and was thinking about getting the GNex. I have a few questions though.

How is sound quality when talking on the phone (how do people sound and what do people say about how you sound?)

How is sound quality when listening to music?

How is the signal strength?

How is Bluetooth integration in your car? I had a Vibrant and the connection to BT always dropped randomly.

thanks for the input guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mygti02:
no one huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
This isn't a US telecom forum. I wouldn't expect too much feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rman18:
I haven't had any issues with any of the things you mentioned... Some have complained of low speaker volume. Seems adequate to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Steve:
Sound quality on call has been excellent for me.

Sound quality for music has been good, but sound volume has been an issue because the speaker isn't really that loud. The speaker is capable of doing much more than what it does now and Google knows it and said that an update will come in the future to fix it.

Signal strength is dependent on location, but I haven't had any problems. Verizon did announce today that an update is coming to tweak the signal strength bars to be more accurate as well as a few other things.

I haven't tried bluetooth so I can't comment.

It's been a great phone so far, I would highly recommend it.

P.S. I am on Verizon as well, on the East coast of the US if you were wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I'll give you some info.

Call quality is OK, I haven't had anybody asking me to repeat myself at all, unlike when I was on Sprint.

Signal, there's a signal issue right now that should be addressed with a software update.

Sound quality for music is good, I have no complaints.

Can't comment on the bluetooth integration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgoyena:
You'll be paying more on Verizon compared to T-Mobile. T-Mobile is actually not bad. Their data is good and fast around my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
I have the GSM i9250, but Bluetooth works great, either with headset or paired to my car.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
I have T-Mobile and the nexus..yes I payed 750 for the phone but I only pay 70 a month after student discount for unlimited everything. I have the old android internet plan so I don't get throttled data.I use 5 to 6gb data...all that would of cost upward of 200 dollars a month on Verizon considering the overages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
Student discount, how did you get that ? I asked if they have it and they said no....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Why T-Blowbile? I have had nothing but good experiences with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SamsungVibrant:
I'm considering switching also and T-mobile is not really cheaper for multi-line plans. I will actually save money by switching to Verizon.

T-mobile is only cheaper if you have a value plan but those are a joke especially if you consider adding another 15-20 bucks a month on the bill for the full retail price of a phone.
