[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
Has anyone tried Root Call Blocker on their Nexus?

I used to use it on my Desire and tried it on my Nexus. Then removed it. Why?

1. Affected my wifi in a minor way. When I restarted my Nexus, the wifi didn't come on even though my settings said it was on. Turning off and turning on wifi seemed to correct this.

2. Affected my bluetooth in a major way. I constantly use a BT headset with my Nexus. After installing RCB, after I turn on my BT headset and it automatically connects to the phone, a short while later it will loose connection - though the phone would say it is still connected. Turning off and on the BT on the phone would still show the headset is connected even though it's not. Turning off and on the headset would first show the BT on the phone has dropped connection, then turning the headset on would not automatically pair the headset.

The BT problem goes on but the end point is that RCB was not playing nice with my radios. After removing it, everything is back to normal.

Has anyone used Root Call Blocker on the Nexus and does it work for them?

Hello!

Already few times I've tried to upgrade. From EG31 to EK02 and EL13. With EG31 everything works just fine but after upgrading I'm starting to get random reboots and device is hitting.

I've tried everything and only stocks Rom.

Can somebody give me some advice how can I figure out what causing reboots and hitting?

Maybe somebody can give some other advice? Because I'm trying to upgrade for a long time and can't.

Please, help me, guys? Is it only me not so lucky?

Please?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szaboagoston:
Hi everyone,

I read a few "downgrade to Froyo from Gingerbread" threads, but I did not seem to find an answer to my question.

I have a Desire GSM.

What I did:

1. I rooted my phone with your help, using Revolutionary

2. I backed up my official Froyo ROM that I had rooted

3. I installed a developer Gingerbread ROM from this site

4. I wanted to install a developer Froyo ROM from this site

5. This did not work as I got an error during install:

"Installing update...

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted."

6. So I restored my own old factory Froyo ROM that I had rooted, which works fine

7. However, I still don't seem to be able to install any other Froyo ROMS because I get the same error as described under point 5.

Some information about my phone

In HBOOT:

Revolutionary

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANEL- SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

In RECOVERY:

ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0

How can I install other Froyo ROMs?

Can anyone help? I don't understand much of what is suggested in the error message.

Thanks a lot.

Agoston
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Your recovery is too new. Flash a recovery which uses the older update script (e.g. 4EXT or RMD).

GOT THE ICS AOSP BROWSER TO WORK!

Here's what I did to get the stock browser to work in the Sense ROMs.

1) I extracted the Browser.apk file from "Voldemort's" ROM and put it on my SD card. (I attached this file to this post)

2) Navigated to /system/app/

2) I went into Root Explorer and renamed the current "browser.apk" to "browser.apk.bak"

3) Copied the AOSP browser.apk into the apps folder.

4) Changed the permissions on the browser.apk to the same as is listed in the picture below.

5) Went into the app manager and cleared the data for the browser app.

Opened the browser, and BAM! Worked! :D

(Pic of permissions... I stole this from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402364)

I hope this helps you guys... The browser is really fast. Opens really quick too.

Here's a pic of the working browser. (Sorry, the screen shot sucks.)

UPDATE:

It appears the 4.0.3 browser should work fine in a 4.0.3 ROM. Most of the AOSP ROMs already come with this browser, but if you're coming from a Sense ROM, this may help.

Hello,

Is it hardware accelerated now? Is it smoother than the one from gingerbread on complex/lots of flash pages/scrolling?

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Yeah. It's fast as hell. WAY WAY WAY better than GB. I was using Miren Browser on GB because I was on Sense. But this is definitely faster than Miren Browser as well.

I've gone to a couple sites already that crashed all the other browsers and they not only stay open, but they still move/scroll very smoothly.

Does it work on GB roms (2.3.5)? or is it only for ICS?

I am trying on 2.3.5 (InserCoin ROM) but it did not work.

Got the answer! --> ICS apps use ICS APIs that GB doesn't have, so it wont work!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Yep... Just don't flash this. LOL I don't know how to make flashable zips. This zip just has the APK in it. The instructions are simple. Although, I'm hoping someone can add this to their flashable AOSP mod.

Right-o. Yeah, it only works in ICS.

I've been using CM9 nightly since 07/12 or something, and love its speed. Just wondering if green lens camera (just photos, not 720p vids) will work on CM9 eventually? Any technical reason why it would not work (like unreleased source/libs etc)?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshpremraj:
Guys, please respond. Whether I stick with defy or not depends on this camera issue, tbh.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miscz:
Nobody can guarantee that. If your choice depends on ICS buy Nexus phone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshpremraj:
Of course, if there is technically no roadblock, I trust devs to work their magic. What i mean is, is there any technical reason it definitely wont work? Like locked bootloader, no ics kernel for defy etc?

Was thinking of sgs2 if defy wont work with ics. Will sgs2 have similar problems in future too? For jellybean i mean, as ics for s2 is already announced.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
it depends on whether epsylon or any other dev can write a driver or kernel module for the gb (2.3.x) kernels, because thats whats keeping the green lens from working.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshpremraj:
didn't the devs already write custom drivers for 2.3? in which case there is hope for the same on cm9 :-D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
people keep mentioning these custom drivers made by epsylon, but i havent seen anything... could someone please post the link to a related topic??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshpremraj:
Even I ly read abt it when someone wrote abt it in passing.

On a side note, epsy has a green lens n is locked to defy+ sbf, and has written that fixing cam will be hard,but not impossible. Gives me enough hope :-)

ON my Prime the wifi is very fast and shares the signal strength of my father's ipad1.

WIFI - what I found

I had my Prime along side my transformer. The Transformer needle buried to -40 dBm's where the Prime would lay between -50 and -60 dBm's and fluctuate also. I am finding the Transformer has better and stronger WiFi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
The wifi issue WAS real. I do not have any issues with my unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] speed4134:
oh,its real alright!

I originally bought my wife a toshiba thrive and replaced it with the prime after a week.So far,she hates the prime saying that its much slower at everything it does,and i have to agree with her. But all that speed drop is related to the wifi problem...it disconnects randomly,and when connected,web browsing is sluggish compared to the to shiba. Also had a few fc when playing games wich resulted in having to reboot the prime.

Am trying to explain to her that there will be a solution to this problem pretty soon for sure. Please note that the tablet is updated to asus latest firmware and the wifi problem is not corrected.

My conclusion is that the prime was released too early,but im sure that the issues will be resolved by the goodfolks at asus,or by the geek studs here in the xda community.

So maybe the prime is not ready for the general public,but still very desirable for the techies at heart.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Play with your AP setting...channel, security, etc. I've had to fiddle with these for almost every new device I get, as annoying as that is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandmcd:
The Wifi on my Prime has been more reliable than the Wifi on my old TF1. It is stronger, probably thanks to the dual antenna system, and have had no problem in my house, at work, or any coffee shop. Speeds seems about the same other than the browser loading pages faster thanks to the Tegra 3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denverbuckeye:
I managed to buy one of the original pre-shipping units that had VERY inconsistent WiFi similar to what has been pointed out in online reviews - signal fluctuating between -40 and -75 on a wireless router in the same room.

Yesterday, I traded that unit for on in the first batch shipped to Gamestop and the difference is noticeable. Pretty steady signal strength between -38 and -45.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MountainDrew:
Wifi on mine is fine in my house, always pretty much full strength. I have a 4 story townhouse, with an AP on floor 2 and 4. The Prime connects much more reliably than my Galaxy Nexus.

I've tested mine along side my galaxy tab and they have the same WiFi strength in all areas of my house and even outside/garage etc...Picked my TFP up from GS on the 21st just for reference.

GPS on the other hand....not so great. Not so great meaning not working at all. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The issue doesn't seem to be getting a signal, it seems to be maintaining it consistently. A couple of people have posted reports from Wi-Fi Analyzer showing there's a bunch of fluctuation on the Prime that doesn't appear on other devices compared side-by-side. That could be an issue when you're not at home and using sketchy signals at airports, restaurants, and hotels. It also would be invisible in things like browsing and downloads but a problem in streaming video or audio. Anyone checking or comparing Wi-Fi should do it using Wi-Fi Analyzer (or similar).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I tested using wifi analyzer and have not noted any difference between my old school(but new) tab and my TFP. I have also not noticed any issue with youtube as of yet although I've only watched a video here and there. I have not done any testing away from home but I have used the prime tethered to my tab and evo with no issues so far. I will create a video if anyone is interested.

And again, sadly, GPS is a no-go.

Edit:// It should be noted too that my router is located centrally in my modest sized home. 1700 squaw feets. Or square even.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Wifi on my prime works fine. connection strength is strong. no dropped signals or anything. seems right on par with my iPad. so in all I don't have any problems with my device or wifi.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] azzurrony:
Guys, I'm averaging about -55dbm from my mobile hotspot. The Prime is right next to the phone. Should I be worried?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
1,700 square feet may be modest for TX but it's down right huge in some places. ;) You guys should post what routers you're using too. Samsung devices have a particular distaste for D-Link and perform exceptionally well with NetGear. So it might be interesting to see if the Prime interacts with all routers the same way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
I hope its not too bad, my room is up the stairs and on the opposite side of the router in a 2500 sq ft house, and I get a just one bar wifi signal on my phone.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xmtsystems:
I'm using a Trendnet TEW-639GR router in my 2 story home. Upstairs where my router is, my average signal strength (according to Wifi Analyzer) is -40 dBm. Downstairs, I am seeing -50 to -55 dBm consistently. Outside, -60 to -70 dBm. My wifi is working just fine.

edit: I should also mention, that I'm in a 4200 sq. ft. 5 bedroom house, and my signal is very strong throughout.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Oh, hah. Yeah you are correct again, Barry. I guess it would be huge in metro areas and not-so-middle-of-nowhere-suburbia...lol. It would be a sprawling mansion in Tokyo, I suppose. ;)

I'm using a cableone modem/wireless router. Lame i know. Especially considering i am a network infrastructure supervisor. :-) it sits in my tv stand though where fewer the devices the better.

Edit:// ah see with just the two posts above it's starting to look modest again! :-D

I think signal is not as strong as it should be.

But I can access Netflix and browse the web no problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
In LA 1700 would run you into the millions so I would say it's not modest. Of course if I bought the same size in my home state of south Carolina it would be reasonably priced.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Wifi is not as strong as original transformer. Weakest of about every tablet I played with. I have my router about 15 feet from me laying in bed and I am getting 3 of 4 bars. Always got full bars on any tablet / phone I played with at that range. I walk about 50 feet from my router on other side of house and I am getting 2 of 4 bars. (3 with every other tablet). However, still streaming all my videos with even 2 of 4 bars.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
I'm not sure if I've read anything (OR MUCH) about the actual functionality of the WIFI in regards to not working well. It's all about number of bars and wifi analyzers. Could it be that the WiFi on the TFP is fine for most people but there is a problem with how the tablet reports and displays WiFi strength? Its strange that so many people (not all) are saying that the wifi still functions like any other device but anything that just displays the strength displays it as weak. Considering the relative complexity of antenna diversity is this a possibility? If so this could be something that could be easily fixed with an update right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
^^

First quote might have proved your point. although his readings showing weaker signal, he is still streaming all of his videos just fine. I think wifi performance is fine. maybe, like you said, the readings are just off. if so this could be fixed by an update. good point though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
I think a firmware update could fix the issue. Because I think you hit the nail

right on the head. Could be just the way 3.2 is reporting the strength is way

wrong. Hardware is fine. They just need to tweak everything and ICS and

a few firmware updates should fix the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
Some are fine some are not. It is a gamble. Same with screen bleeds, dead pixels, fail gps etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfranco328:
I thought the same, maybe the software was not properly reporting the wireless signal strength but I have an issue with that theory. We are all using the same version of android and firmware yet some of have this issue while others dont. Using wifi analyzer my signal fluctuates, testing on the web through speed test.net , my download revs up then drops. This is not shown when using the speed test app. I am seeing this as a hardware issue and will call best buy about a replacement. The router i am using is a netgear wireless n600. I will try another router before I make the exchange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
anadtech also pointed out in their part 2 review that the 3rd unit they got had better WIFI but still somewhat erratic like you are reporting. It may be the way in which the 2 antenna communicate. They don't seem to work together but rather one after another based on the review. If this is the case then that would be a software issue and could be changed in the immediate future. I bet the inconsistency comes from when the antennas flip duties back and forth. This and the underclocked companion core potentially causing stuttering. I'm of course just throwing things out there for healthy discussion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
"Bars" are useless. Asus programs the ranges the indicator reports so it's far from accurate. People with the VZW Galaxy Nexus are complaining about signal strength compared to other phones so VZW's updating the s/w to reflect more "bars" because they say it's "under reporting." Wi-Fi analyzer is accurate. And certainly as accurate on the Prime as it is on any other device. If the signal's fluctuating you might not notice it depending on what you're doing. Downloads for example may seem fine but actually be taking 25% longer because of the fluctuation. High profile video's a good test because it needs consistent bandwidth to play smoothly. But hey, if people are happy than call it good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfranco328:
I saw that review but missed the part where the reviewer said it was still erratic on his third unit knowing that I aggree with your analysis...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You'll find this article on Teg3 interesting. It talks about the duties of the five cores (2+2+1) and the impact on the net performance of the chip. It also talks about Nvidia having to write the code (vs. ARM) to make the whole thing work.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bradwest414:
I am also experiencing random disconnects, strange fc's when performing somewhat mundane tasks like reading a book, browsing Facebook, etc. The the browser is a piece of junk (obviously I am searching for a replacement... It's only software), so to speeds point it may not have been ready for prime time, but is definitely going to satisfy my techy heart. I am eagerly anticipting a nice dev ramp up through early next year as this tablet starts making its way into more people's homes!

I'm reserving most of my opinions until I see it get the ICS upgrade :-)
