That camera software is the same one as the Sensation.

Definitely NOT being sent from my HTC Amaze4G until Christmas Day.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Mail ordered my nexus and wanted to know what defects to look out for that would warrant a return for another. (also, anyone know if replacements are refurbs? I refuse to shell out $300 for a refurb!)

My Watchlist so far:

Display tinting red, green, or blue in sections

Overwashed "linen yellow" whites

Speaker issues

Battery "awake time" bug

These seem to be specific to a "bad" device and would like to know other issues that mean I got a bum unit that should be returned...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
None of those you can do anything about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Hmm, why do you say? These issues are not consistent across all units. Some have reported not having these issues, so it seems to vary unit to unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Some of those issues are user tolerance too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GotSka81:
I can say from personal experience that I've experienced all of those except for the battery bug. I've been through three phones so far, and all of them had different issues. My first phone had really bad screen banding, which is inherent to SAMOLED screens, but some are worse than others...and mine was the worst of all the phones I compared it to. The store agreed to replace it, but the next one I got had severe static over just the earpiece speaker. The store once again agreed to swap it out, and now the one I have has a ridiculous amount of red throughout the screen. At lower screen brightness (50% or less) anything that is supposed to be grey is completely purple (menus, widgets, etc). I've been told by a Verizon rep that this is something that will be fixed by a software update in the future, and is a known issue...but I think he was making it up to get me out of the store (please note that this was a different store than I had been dealing with from the start). The phone is completely awesome...as long as it's not broken!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
Must have lucked out... Got mine at Best Buy on the 15th and have had NONE of the issues... Whites are white... no blue tint... After a few charges the battery has been fine... Right now my Nexus has been on for about 5 hours with light use and I'm at 88%. If i had the awake time bug it would be much lower...

Like i said, i lucked out. So for anyone with these bugs, replace it. These bugs are NOT on all units.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] verboten:
I am happy with my whites, but they are far from white. When I first was checking out my nexus, I thought to myself, wow the whites look really good. Then, I compare my Nexus S with SLCD, Nexus S with AMOLED, and my GN. The Nexus S with the SLCD, whites are insane, almost pure white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmellen:
My first one had issues where the touch screen was totally unresponsive after coming out of sleep. Swapped it at the store the next day, and this new one has absolutely no issues. Connectivity is great, colors are great, battery is great (Extenged battery, been off charger for 4 hours, sufed a bit, a couple of texts, and quite a few phone calls, and I'm still above 80% for battery)... I love the phone.

The guy next to me in the office though -- He's on his second one, and is getting dropped calls, dropped connections, and it's overheating to the point of making his face uncomfortable on the phone... he's going back tonight for another one. his first one wouldn't connect to 3g or 4g, and they couldn't fix it in the store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
Just use the phone like normal. If you have to seek out a "defect", then it isn't a defect. Just use the phone and enjoy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bykr_dude15:
are these issues for only the verizon version or the GSM as well because I am debating on shipping a GSM one but I'm iffy about it because I dont want to get a defective one and wont be able to replace it or have to wait another week to get a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
This is one reason I purchased direct from Vzw. Now I can go into any store and raise holy hell for a replacement off the shelf.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flyerwire:
I haven't heard of the issues on the GSM version. I'm sure the screen issues can be on all versions but have heard nothing on the other problems. I have an imported GSM version with 0 problems (besides still being on 4.0.1!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drachnem:
I had 2 with bars going down the display, easy way to tell is have all white or dark grey on the screen.

I have also noticed on my current device that if I put up an all black image, I have spots around the screen where there is darker black, almost like the glue on the screen or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Here is a new one, when the phone us vibrating something sound a like it is loose inside the phone ..not many reports of this one tho only seen 2 so far not including mine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Hey guys,

i've searched the forum but cant find a whole lot regarding this topic. Its really more of a "whats your opinion" question rather than a "whats the answer to this" type of question. Anyways, I just started using Swype, thought it was pretty cool but did notice it in the battery usage at a very low percent. Just curious to who uses it and if anyone experiences drain because of it. Thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i haven't used swype in a while but i dont recall there being much of a battery drain, unless the latest update causes this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
thanks for your input. I was just curious because I've never seen a keyboard on my usage haha. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
I am using it and I like it a lot. I am actually using a beta so I have the latest updates. I don't type all day on my phone but I don't feel like it's a battery hog. What drained my battery was the common culprits like my email client checking all the time and so forth. There are treads on battery hogs. Surprisingly, I found that PowerAmp had a nasty habit of doing something even if it was off. Also, programs that you (or at least I) would never think of, like Officesuite, kept doing stuff on their own even though I had only installed them and never used them. I found that a good way of identifying these bad guys is by checking wakelocks in betterbatterystats. cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman5oh:
Is their a method of unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone (Verizon LTE Version) without losing my data and settings? I want to install cwm and flash a few tweaks but at his point do not want to have to set the phone back up again. Not having root and cwm prevents the back up I need. Is their a way to back up the data partition without root and restore it later after the unlock and root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
You only lose data when you unlock the bootloader and from what I have read you need to unlock the bootloader to get root. You can backup the contents of your /sd card/ so you can backup your app data but I don't think you'll be able to keep system data. If you have a Google account synced it keeps most of this backed up anyway though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman5oh:
That is the way I understand it as well, was hoping that their would be a better way to do it. I have transferred over 10 gigs of pictures and music t the phone and with mpt it took loooooong time to transfer all that stuff. I know google will restore the apps and some settings like wifi, but then one has to open all the apps you need a log in for and set them up as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewjrr:
havent really used MTP much so i dont know whats faster that or transferring over FTP.. maybe that could help you a bit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
No. Bootloader unlock = wipe. No questions, no two ways around it.

adb pull /mnt/sdcard *

Back up the whole sdcard partition.
[Defy General] nessonic:
The other threads I have viewed concerning this process are pinpointed on something they do, such as opening contacts, etc. Mine is a continuous, non-stop crashing. It's to the point where using the phone is becoming near impossible, as this dialog box keeps appearing and I have to click force close. Occasionally the calendar storage will crash too.

My lockscreen never comes up, the keyboard auto pops that acore force close up (the only time I can force it to come up on command, but also means I'm unable to text/type anything).

I'm starting to think I need to reflash from start.

Background info: Coming from Epsylon's CM9 builds, had trouble getting it back to CM7.1, had bootloop pull battery issue, didn't flash gapps until after flashing CM7.1, then once in I restored backed apps with data. Problems started after I did this.
[Defy General] LeonardoJegigzem:
Try a clean installation of cm7 and after that wipe cache and dalvik!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mum_laris:
Hi all.

I'm enjoing the new porting of Eyama on my u20i (x10minipro).

It seems to suffer of same strange feature with bluetooth of MiniCM7 (by Paul).

It can connect to other devices, like pc or other phones with bluetooth, but not with my headset (handsfree and not).

But previous version ROM (SonyEricsson 2.1u1) worked perfectly with same headset.

Did I make something wrong?

What happens:

[handsfree]: discover and pair but not connect to it

[headset]: discover, pair and connect, but reset connection rapidly (every 20-30 seconds).

Any ideas?

Thanks anyway for Your help.

Cheers,

M.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mum_laris:

Or has same problem?

Please let me know...

Thanks.

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mum_laris:
Hi kkkhattak,

thanks for Your help, but my problem starts "before"...

Phone doesn't pair in some case and doesn't keep the connection in others, so the app is un-useful for my problem.

Thanks, anyway!

Cheers,

I am in desperate need of a FM radio, the one that came with the ROM I am using doesn't work. I am using MUI Rom. Any advice, besdies getting a new rom.

Thanks alot
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
Try tune in radio I use it with miui
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mrw5641:
ya I tried that, but they don't allow the station I listed to, it is blocked by the providor and I heart radio stinks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ubuntunerd:
there are a ton a radio apps in the market you can try
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tao86311:
Search radio in market,and try them one by one...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mrw5641:
thats most likely what I have to do. I was seeing if anyone had a radio app that came with the phone or w.e that they can post for a download. Or from another ROM.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Ive been running the "cm7-1.4highpro-test-rev3" kernel and it runs great. I've been bumping up my undervolting slowly, and im at -475 at 216 mhz, which (in theory) should be the undervolt clock speed that will save me most battery becasue i have phone set to go between 216 mhz and 312 mhz when screens off. Ive got both 216 and 312 mhz undervolted extremely heavily and i haven't seen ANY issues. The rest of clock speeds are at -100 or so, and if i push much further than that the phone locks up and does weird stuff. This would lead me to believe that the undervolting IS indeed working. But can the processor really run at -475 @216mhz and -450@312mhz without any side affects?? I haven't once had it get stuck in sleep mode with screen off or ANYTHING, so im a bit unsure if it is actually undervolting or not.. Myrt undervolt shows that my phone is undervolted to the specific settings i set within SetCpu. I also havent seen much, if any, difference with battery life. With 10 hours of idle time, straight idle screen off whole time, wifi, gps, mobile data, 4g, bluetooth, all that stuff off and after 10 hours my battery is down to 85%.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I limited uv clocks, so there is a low limit. One day ill add more low end clocks but it won't matter because the photon uses a separate clock for suspend. I knew people would try to uv to 500 with it set on boot and screw there phone up. So this way I didn't have thousands of user error related uv issues. Uv does works but its more for high end than low end. Low end uv causes sleep of death.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
haha ok I understand, just thought I was going crazy there for a bit, or had the most amazing tegra 2 known to man. is there a way to UV the suspend mode then or no? And is my battery life at idle about average or low considering the UV. do you have any kernels for CM7 that aren't limited for UV? Thanks for reply, and all your hard work on the photon!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Changing suspend voltage can only be done in source. I havnt played with it yet because i need to test it on a stable kernel that way i know any issues would come from it. As far as extra uv steps its planned after wifi fix. I wont add 500 new steps probably 2 steps at a time(-25 steps). Im also planning on changing my clock table(multiples of 216 only). I might make a half step 1.0 kernel underclocked to 108~192. It will be mem underclocked and gpu/avp underclocked. With lower voltage tables on everything. Default scheduling will be powersave. Which you can check out with cpu master right now. That kernel will also have a tweaked 2 core start/stop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DethMetalz69:
"That kernel will also have a tweaked 2 core start/stop. "

Holy ****!

That would be the best thing

Title says it all. This is getting out of control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
The people I'm upset are are the idiots granting the patents :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Something I've been able to do since I've had the blackberry.

All this **** they are patenting is so trivial to technology that I think other companies never bothered. Soon enough they will patent pooping with a smart phone and we'll all be doomed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Other articles clearly state it's the exact arrangement of techniques and interface that would be defensible, not merely multitasking. Someone would have to copy pretty much the exact full layout and procedure for it, not merely multitasking. Not reason to get worried beyond Apple likely going after anyone who's copied their interface too tightly. So outside of maybe Meizu, no major worries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
It's frigging ridiculous with all these companies suing each other. Half the time they are partners anyway-for example, Samsung supplies chips for the ipad-so I think a lot of this is driven by lawyers, who are the only ones who always win regardless of how the rulings go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
So yet again Apple takes something everyone has been doing for a long time and slaps a patent on it.

Hold down something to bring up a menu, select the program/function, switch. Repeat to return to previous or different program.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Everybody take a deep breath this isn't what you think it is...

It is actually for changing the interface of the app you are using while in a call (adding a notification bar at the top), not just changing to an app while in a call.

From what I understand is that Android doesn't have to even think about this since you can see the notification bar almost all the time and is a part of the OS no the App anyway and that's what Android generally uses.

Really what Apple patented it was the ability to screw with an app's interface while on a call.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sculler315:
Exactly, from the article:

"modifying the corresponding application user interface to include a switch application icon that is not displayed in the corresponding application user interface when there is no ongoing phone call"

Either display the switch icon outside of the second UI or have the second UI include the switch icon all the time - at least two ways to design around this patent, and as others have said unless the interface is copied exactly, there shouldn't be any issues... I hate it when articles summarize an issued patent using the broadest interpretation possible based on some part of the title...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I like to browse or use apps while on a call, by simply hitting the home button. Apple is specifically doing this to go after android and the companies who make android phones. We should be worried and oppose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
If that were the case, their patent would reflect that. It doesn't. It's nothing like how Android does it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NickDG:
Just like the patent they got on being able to tap on a phone number from an email message and dial it. I was able to do that with my Treo well before the iPhone was even a glimmer in Steve's eyes.

It's just stupid they are getting these. I thought any prior work voids these things?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
They call this one the 'we finally figured out how to do this too!' patent.

Time for google go bust out some moto patents and force apple to remove cellphone functionality from the iphone.

'youre a barista... you bariste for a living...' love that commercial...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
If it's that easy to get patents, maybe Google should play Apples silly game and put a patent on answering the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Like I said innoff topic, its like Coke suing Pepsi for using carbonated water, and Coke winning. When carbonated drinks were around before both products were ever produced. Epic fail with this patent system. Its lost its purpose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
When the patent office has a display honoring Steve Jobs, obviously impartiality does not exist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yglup:
Good one! But true! Im losing respect for apple in general. They arent really all that innovative. They're kinda like P Diddy, they just remix tech instead of creating new!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
The patent in question was filed by Apple in 1996, before your Treo was a glimmer in Handspring's eyes. I made the same point you did elsewhere and got corrected. The patent's age makes it valid, but others have pointed out it should still count as an obvious function.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meeklo062704:
Apple so badly wants to be the best they're trying to cripple the competition. Apple and the fanboys claim to be "best in the world", but they're trying to be #1 by default instead of #1 by design. If you're the best prove it, don't cry to the teacher saying that someone else is stealing your science project. Buncha damn crybaby apple fanboys. I still think it's funny that they're not messing with google, just the hardware manufacturers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I still don't understand why apple is getting away with the drop down notification, clearly an android feature. Im afraid that Apple might try and patent that as well if Google sits on their hands.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Can Google even patent an open source project. Google has open sourced Android, Apple could literally rip off the whole OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I feel that's the plan, then remove the competition by frivolous lawsuits and BS "patents"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
That is why people embrace open source. If Google were to ever go evil with Android like Microsoft did with IE, people can just take the open sourced code and branch it without all the compatibility issues. This is exactly what Amazon did with the kindle (obviously for different reasons).

It is the main advantage of open source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo-t:
A patent on multitasking as a whole?? Or their version of it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
It is a patent on using apps while on the phone to be more specific
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
A very very specific way of using Apps while on a phone call that has nothing to do with the way Android does it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Prior art. If Google didn't patent it before they released it, it's too late now. No one can patent it. You can't go back and patent something. You have one opportunity to patent it as an inventor before anyone else sees it. Or as best as someone can prove to the USPTO.

[that's how it works in real patenting in the biotech industry, pretty sure this would be the same. It is plain retarded how any of these patents got through. "Ideas" should be thrown out. Hard lines of code or processes, that may be a different story.]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manooti:
Android had this "pull-down" feature before iOS. Now that Apple has patented it does that mean that Google must get rid of the "pull-down" menu while in call because that is patent infringement?

If a company like Google had it implemented before the competition, then do the patent laws apply if it was patented by another?

Android has the pull-down menu almost everywhere. So I'm guessing now it must be taken off during calls.

If U.S. judges are as bright as those in Australia or Germany expect Android to be no more.

Someone please elaborate on this. Open source with proof of release date vs patented claim after the fact. Who wins? If Apple wins, we lose our pull down menu while in call. Please tell me I'm wrong and explain it to me please.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Are you saying if the inventor hasn't patented it then no one else can?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
This is the kind of **** that apple does that made me sell all of my apple ****/Mac/pod/everthing. I HATE FUKN APPLE. I HOPE THEY DIAF. And I wouldn't piss on them to put it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
As much as I despise Apple this patent doesn't effect Android, has nothing to do with the pull down notification bar, and is largely irrelevant for anything other than preventing companies from putting a glowing green bar on the screen while in a call.

So while I can't stand my iPhone because it is like riding a horse with 3 broken legs put your torches and pitchforks away... at least until they sue someone again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
It does effect android when they are suing to specifically to make android powered products banned because of "rectangular shape" or "dialing numbers from an email"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Just wait untill tomm. I'm sure well see anouther lawsuit from the fruity phone makin dicks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
I agree but that has nothing to do with THIS patent...
