[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evoholik:
It was the ics domination one. I think you named it evoholik -update.zip

But not a big problem...I like the font and color in ics domination but sometimes when its charging, at certain percentages when it switches back and forth from charging icon to percent icon the battery levels don't match up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Check market for font changers. The colors in this should be pretty close to Domination if not identical
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evoholik:
Ok sounds good. Thanks. So what I'm running right now...is this final or you have more changes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pakakid:
How can you determine what radio your phone has, and if you want to update how would you go about doing so? Would this mean I have to wipe everything flash a radio and then re-flash a rom? Thanks for the help guys!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _eroz:
Go to Settings > About Phone, your radio is the Baseband version.

See this thread at rootzwiki.

I don't think you need to wipe anything before flashing the radio/modem/baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pakakid:
Thank you, do i have to be on stock? Or can I do this while Im on Juggs 4.1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _eroz:
Reading post #26, it looks like he was able to do it while on Beastmod and Juggs.

Just curious, are you looking to update to enable wifi calling? because Juggs 4.1 should already have that feature minus the baseband/modem/radio update.

Or is it to stop the t-mobile update notification?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
If you flash radios with Odin.

Odin does not care what you have on your phone, rooted, stock, custom , does not matter as long as you get to download mode, it is going to replace what you have with whatever you are flashing ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pakakid:
Its to use the ICS animations and battery mod
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
so one day i turn on my tablet running lightspeed 1.0.7 and it asks me for a password. I thought it was my little brother playing a joke on me so i just factory reset it using CWM...... it boots up and asks me for a password AGAIN, after the factory reset. So i wiped all data, formatted evereything possible, and reflashed the ROM. AND IT STILL ASKS FOR A PASSWORD!!!! what gives? how do i fix this?

EDIT: I have used cwm to restore a backup of the stock ROM and it still asks for a password..... what the heck is this? PLEASE help
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
where is asking you for the password at..

Did you encrypt your tablet.

i think at the password screen keep trying and it will eventually ask for your google account information.. then let you in... .

if not my only thoughts is you will have to flash a total Stock decryped acer rom. one that updates the bootloader . as a few of the major updates have done..

but im guessing from my memory of people asking this in the past...

you will not get alot of help bypassing a password on here .. as to be honest who really knows if its your tablet or not...

that is why the google account verification is there..
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
no i didnt encrypt it.... its asking for the password when it boots up. I have seen a few threads on other forums with people that have xooms and transformers having the same issue.

Ok, so in that case, what do i need to do to be able to send this tablet to Acer? i am (was) rooted and i have thor's recovery installed. Is there a way to undo the stuff that voids the warranty?

and where can i find one of those full stock acer roms that update the bootloader? i guess one of those is worth a shot
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
ok so I tried to go back to stock using the unbrick method 2 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

and no luck. still asks for a password

and I also called Acer and they told me I will most likely be without my tablet for 2-3 WEEKS! and also Acer does not provide a box or pay for shipping for warranty repairs? really? I would really like a solution, if anyone can help me, please do. thank you

[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
Thanks Timmy, I'll try this as soon as i get home to my sister's computer. hopefully it works!
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
ok so i am about to try this, but step one is to turn on USB debugging, what if i cant get to the setting menu to turn debugging on?

EDIT: so it seems that I will not be able to use this method because the software upgrade utility isnt able to recognize the tablet, because usb debugging is not enabled, and i can not enable it because the tablet is asking me for a password. i am stuck

any other solutions?

EDIT2: It is actually the computer that is not able to recognize the tablet. the drivers install, but when i connect the tablet via USB, it says the device drivers could not be installed
[Acer Iconia A500] ClarkBoy:
Not sure if this is what I experienced. My daughter's new A500 did an OTA update which apparently did not complete correctly. Tried to reboot after but would not. Did some browsing on this site and others and tried some things but no luck. Finally got various versions of update.zip and put them on an SD and did the power and volume - combo. I think after the first one I got the little android guy and the enter your password screen. Searched on a resolution to that but nothing. After a couple of more update.zip tries I got a version of 3.01 and ran that. Still got the android guy with the enter your password screen. Wanted to avoid returning it to K-mart where I got it new on Thanksgiving for $219. I knew they didn't have a replacement in stock and wouldn't be able to get another one for that price. Then I did the power and volume + combo with rocking the screen orientation toggle 2 times to reset the cache/data. Success - no password screen! It rebooted and went into the tablet setup process. I am not sure if it was that particular update.zip. I am thinking if I had did the clear the cache thingy after loading the initial update.zip it would have been ok. So my daughter's tablet has 3.01 on it now and seems to working fine. I am tempted to try a later release just to get to 3.1 but I don't want to risk horking it up. I haven't seen any notices for an OTA from Acer so that surprises me.
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
This is the password screen I'm talking about. Is that what happened to you?

And this is the screen I get when trying to do the rotation rocker trick
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
you did try using the password associated with your google account Correct..

that could maybe work....
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
Yea I tried that password. And all others I could have set...... but I know that I did not set any passwords on my tablet so I think its a glitch. I have been doing research and I have seen many people with this problem. Maybe its a honeycomb thing?
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
This will fix your issue (hopefully):

FACTORY RESET WITHOUT LOGON

ACER A500

1.	Power Down

2.	Make sure the Screen orientation is off (slide to left while landscape mode)

3.	Hold down the right volume key (Volume up (+)).

4.	Hold down the Power Button.

5.	When it buzzes let go of the power but keep hold of the volume up button (+)

rock the screen orientation switch quickly back and forth once.

6.	Should say :

Erasing Userdata....

Erasing Cache...

http://www.hard-reset.com/ for additional information

If this does NOT work then you will have to flash it using your USB Serial number and a paperclip. You use the paperclip and power button to put the tablet into fastboot, then you can flash it. Guarantee you it works, you just need your serial number.
[Acer Iconia A500] bwassef:
TimmyDean, thank you for your response. I left town for about four days so when i get back home i will try those things.

Also, you mentioned using a paperclip and flashing it from fastboot using my serial number.... is that the same method you linked me to before? if not, is there a thread with instructions on how to do that? thanks for your help, man.
[Acer Iconia A500] ClarkBoy:
"This is the password screen I'm talking about. Is that what happened to you?"

Bwassef, yes that is the screen I was getting until I did the procedure that timmyDean described in post #12.

Good Luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@timmyDean - With all due respect to you I think you should give the correct recognition and acknowledgement for the "Tip" you quote to the originator i.e. the Developer "Sc2k" (of "ItsMagic" fame), who first published this tip in the thread "Acer Iconia A500 > Iconia A500 General > "[TIP] Wipe without using recovery".

He published this on 20th June 2011

which is some six and a half months ago.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
With all due respect never read it, I got it from ACER when I called them last year when an employee forgot their password. They faxed it to me, I scan it in if you'd like to see the original fax.

Secondly, I apologize if it was posted earlier I never searched for it here and assumed that since someone was asking that they were asking because it wasn't posted.

So, I give credit to ACER tech support and any others that may have posted here before me and shall post here forever after and/or any other site that may have already posted it or will be posting it including all social media networks such as Twitter and Facebook but not limited to such. All oral and written communications, anyone that used smoke signals, sign-language, or any form of communications present and/or past; thank you all and everyone.

Thanks to all,

[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I've noticed that the stock Sense app drawer scrolls incredibly slow in the "All Apps" tab and isn't much better in the "Downloaded" tab. Compared to ADW EX it scrolls about as quickly as Verizon gets updates out. Has anyone else experienced this?
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
My Sense app drawer scrolls just fine.

I have tried both LPP+ & ADWLauncher EX in mine & while both work very well I didn't really notice any speed difference between any of them.

~John
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Absolutely! Especially when you use a live wallpaper. It's crawling at about 15FPS it looks like.

I've just decided to either stick with a static wallpaper in Sense, or use whatever I want to in GO Launcher and enjoy the high speed smooth scrolling :)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I guess I never noticed because I never saw the point in using a Live wallpaper.

~John
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I don't typically bother with LWP's either, but I like the ICS Phase Beam LWP, so I tried it out. It's not smooth enough though.

Hopefully having real ICS on this phone with hardware acceleration will help the app drawer to be smoother.

IDK how all that works though or if it effects all aspects of the visual experience or not.
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
Well, I'm not using a live wallpaper. Just wallpapers from my gallery. I wanted to give Sense a try and I do like it, but the reduced speed of the app drawer is enough to convince me to switch back to the speed & added functionality of ADW EX.
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
It's not slow, it's designed that way. It is meant to show one full slide at a time rather than flocking through all of them at once. It's just how sense is, you'll need ti install another launcher to change it.
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
Jim - Yes, I'm aware that it's set up to scroll. Thanks for the heads up on that for anyone who hadn't figured it out. However...

I fixed it. I was scrolling through the app drawer today and hit the "Menu" soft key. I found an option to display the drawer as an alphabetical list instead of an icon grid and now it's fast as can be! I also love the list because it's more readable. I know this might not work for everyone, but hey, it's better than waiting for one slow page after another, right?
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Sweet, didn't realize you could show it as a list. Good find.

Awesome application guys... Works on my Mac with safari ... I'm gonna try it on my new playbook tomorrow :) if it works with my tab then I don't think I'll touch my phone much :P :D

AirDroid is so much more awesome cuz you can use wifi hotspot mode too... So all you need is your phone and a device with wifi :D I'm pretty sure I'll be texting from my playbook from tomorrow :D
[HTC Incredible S] DeGozaru:
Only recently came across AirDroid and absolutely love it. My only gripe is that it CAN get a bit slow if the WiFi connection is a bit stretched, but otherwise a really useful app.

Just a suggestion since we're on the topic of wireless access, but if you have an Android tablet and an Android phone, you might want to check out TextTab.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.howettl.textab&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3dldHRsLnRleHRhYiJd

It essentially allows you to text from your phone using your Tablet device. I found it very useful when I still had my Galaxy Tab.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] romanvail:
I am on the LTE version and I've been seeing these 3800 batteries on eBay from China for the Galaxy Nexus (Prime) -- comes with a backcover.

Wondering if anyone has tried this?

Probably doesn't come with NFC built in...or does it?

What sort of life are you getting with this battery?

Does it feel sturdy, what are your reviews?

I have an Otterbox Defender with the official extended battery from Verizon in there. Don't want to lose the case but if this 3800 case and battery are truly amazing -- I would get a screen protector and the 3800 battery instead.

What do you guys think?

OR does this battery just mean that in a month Verizon or Samsung will have the same official version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I'd like to, but don't want to sign up on ebay or paypal. I will wait until I can get one elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I purchased a couple of batteries off eBay last night, a 3800, two 1900 and one of the 2000 + door from Korea, only the 2000 comes with NFC, when they eventually get here, I'll let you know how they hold up!

Edit: Noticed you are on the cdma nexus, however I assume the life will be comparable!

my M2 has been rooted, wipe data and cache.

After install Bootmenu-A953-1.0.5, I install bootmenu and reset(I try it when the default init mode is set as official, recovery, and 2nd-init), the phone could only start, show the logo and reset, again and again.

what should I do?

I need help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
so i was just wondering and thinking, my phone is about to go at any moment between dropping it and replacing the screen once then cracking the

screen and having a chunk at the top missing now. I feel like getting a new phone i was thing sgs2 since I started out with the vibrant i love these phones. what yall think?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Sgs2 is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I think the s2 is an amazing phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Just don't get T-Mobiles version of the sgs2. Its not the same, and my g2x is actually faster and smoother than it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Really? my g2x was practically unusable. I had to get rid of it because it was so bad. My t mo gs2 definitely out performed it hands down.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Sgs2 is vibrant++... In my opinion I would go for a total different phone. To me those three are the same with a few tweaks here and there. I would wait for a real upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
And any upgrade would just be an upgrade to the sgs2. So by your logic it would just be a vibrant+++. The sgs2 is the best phone I have owned. And I have had a lot of them. Bigger, better screen, much more storage, nfc, dual core, better camera, possible future lte capabilities, and the list goes on. How are these just tweaks here and there?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eksasol:
I used to own the S 4G, then the S II (T-Mobile), now the Note (International). My advice is to skip the S II and get the Note. The Note international version is expensive and won't work with T-Mobile 3G of course, or you can wait for the Note to come to US (it will likely be with ATT, hopefully T-Mobile).

The S II T-Mobile version isn't a worthy upgrade at its full price, unless you are in a contract and get subsidized of course. The reasons are:

-Lots of people with the T-Mobile version it has screen problems and imperfect screen, including me.

-It's still 800x480 res, the usage experience will be the same.

-T-Mobile version uses Qualcomm S3 cpu, which is no longer considered high end. I could not play HD MKV videos with it smoothly.

If you look around the Note forum there are lots of praise for this phone. The only thing that could hold ones back is the size of the phone and maybe cost.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
hey folks. Samsung is going back to power vr as the graphics force to power its next gen soc(A15 socs??). With HD super-amoled plus and power vr 6xx(not too sure if its 6xx or 5xx) series to power them,it will definitely be another great year for Samsung and android. I personally can't wait.:cool:

what do you guys think?

a similar soc is ST-Ericsson Nova A9600 which is also an A15 with power vr 6 serires gpu read here for discussion on this NOVA
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Where did ya get this from? I thought it was reported that it would be Cortex A15 + Mali T604?
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
i have the evidence.I'll be more than happy to share it to a mod but wont release for general public.(for obvious reasons)
[Galaxy S II General] WagTwo:
Source please?
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Well ok... Personally I don't care either way, I just hope they go for whatever has the best performance/power consumption ratio.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
I assure its legit. and it specifically says Samsung are moving away form mail.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
dont care !!! remember when sgs2 was first launched how many games/apps were incompatible. significant amount of app that i'd bought while i had sgs were not working on my sgs2 things are getting better now. but using the similar gpu found in ios devices and psvita does make a difference and I as a consumer will have more option and it's not just limited to games but to all other apps that uses open gl.
[Galaxy S II General] wurzelsepp3:
It makes sense, I recently read news that Samsung licensed some PowerVR GPUs.

But I do hope it's a SGX 6XX, anything else would be a disappointment (for me).

I also hope that it's going to be a dual-core (1.6GHz) Cortex A15, if it is it will be way faster than a quadcore Cortex A9 especially when you consider that applications are only starting to support dual-cores right now.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
we might still see newer quad A9 with mali but by late 2012 we should expect Samsung coming out with A15 with power vr. since A6(for ipad3) is widely rumored to be A15 and we all know who makes A5 for apple.we should see the Samsung version of A15 in 2012.

also if you remember the exynos/orion which was delayed and it was reported(not officially though) that the reason was 'problems with it graphics unit'.
[Galaxy S II General] Arugi:
i like powerVR more then mali
[Galaxy S II General] WagTwo:
Any mods that can confirm the information?
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
I'd prefer if it was a power vr 6x. Easier support from developers due to iphones using power vr also.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I'm indifferent either way. The Mali 400 in my S2 can keep up with all the games and I'm not seeing a trend towards better quality graphics simply because the screens on our devices do not support it, this might change with ICS and the 720p screen on the Galaxy Nexus.

For the future it's wait and see. Usually better graphics means more power consumption and that's a trade-off I'm not willing to make.
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
They've opted for both the next gen of PowerVR and Mali chips, so it could be either.

OP is not wrong, but he is not right either.
[Galaxy S II General] lonathe:
I'm personally hoping for a usable NDS or PSP emulator in 2012.

power consumption should be fine considering that 45 SiO2 > 32/28 nm hkmg is a huge jump.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
i am aware that samsung is the licensee of both mali and power vr but the source specifically says that they are 'moving away from mali'. we may see few versions of exynos with mali powering some of the future devices but their flagship devices will have power VR.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
WTF guys this is exclusive news to XDA and you rate it 2 stars. Just because you are not getting the news from engadget?? there were news about samsung being the licensee of both powervr and mali but i have never seen a report that says which way the samsung was heading in terms of graphics wise.
[Galaxy S II General] Rawat:
At best, this is an unsubstantiated rumour. We'll know more about Samsung's SoC plans when they unveil the Galaxy S III at MWC.

tbqh, your news hardly seems reliable, and even if it was doesn't really matter. Samsung have used PowerVR for many of their SoCs, and Mali 400 for only the Exynos 4210
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Samsung has announced and is sampling two newer SOCs; Exynos 4212 and Exynos 5250.

Exynos 4210 - dual-core Cortex A9 @ 1.2ghz, Mali 400 MP4 GPU, 45nm process.

Exynos 4212 - dual-core Cortex A9 @ 1.5ghz, Mali 400 MP4 GPU, 32nm process. (GPU Speculated, not officially disclosed)

Exynos 5250 - dual-core Cortex A15 @ 2.0ghz, Mali T604 GPU, 32nm process.(GPU Speculated, not officially disclosed)

Here's the thing about sampling/testing. SOCs typically have to be sampled for 6 months (or more) before they show up in phones. 4212 started sampling in September/October and 5250 started sampling in November. That means that both should be available for the typical Galaxy S launch window (my bet is on 5250).

If Samsung does go back to PowerVR, by the time they start sampling this SOC they would have already missed the Galaxy SIII launch window. So, I find this unsourced information interesting but highly unlikely at this point. Once you can reveal your source(s) we'll be able to judge this more accurately. I appreciate the info and respect your need to conceal your source(s) at this time.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
I agree with your post.it is highly likely that sgs 3 will sport a Exynos 5250. but with in next year I think wee will see high res 3D tablet since samsung is also a TV manufacturer(we all know that 3d TV is the TV for 2012 /s) and it makes sense to lure more people in to 3D (3D ecosystem???).to achieve such graphical horsepower Power VR 6 is the only option they have. my bet is we will see highres 3d tablet by q4 of 2012 sporting an soc with power vr 6xxxx
