[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
The A200 and A500 are practically 'fraternal' twins. Internally the major specs are identical. There may be a different GPS/wifi/bt chip but the core parts are the same. Here they are side-by-side.

I don't know Acers reasoning for what I'll affectionately term 'rebranding', but the A200 is running 3.2 at release and will get ICS. I see no reason for the A500 to not get ICS, for any reason.

The process of getting it to the A200 would be the same as getting it to the A500. So, costs, legalities, etc be damned. OTA or through a manual process, ICS should be coming to the A500.
[HTC Sensation] tabor91:
Hey there folks, I've got a sensation 4g (bell). I recently followed the htc released steps to unlock my bootloader, all went well, as far as i can tell, when accessing the bootloader, it says that it is unlocked.

Here comes the issues. I was trying to flash cm7. I did all the necessary steps, wiped the cache and data, did a backup. The whole nine yards. Then I flashed the rom. Rom wouldn't load. No trouble, I made a backup. When I reverted to my backup, I had lost all radio functionality. No mobile network, no wifi. Nothing.

SO I tried flashing MIUI through rom manager. Still nothing.

I'm stuck folks, any suggestions?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bikedude880:
Due to requests for a dev thread, here it is.

And as a note:

I am privatizing my builds and will only release tests to those I deem competent of being able to produce crash dumps, log files, and other useful information. This is not because I dislike anyone, but the stress of having 20 people tell me that "x doesn't work, when can you get it working?" isn't going to make me want to work on it.

Currently in a working state (may still be buggy):

Audio

Bluetooth

Wifi (After reboot, should be tcmd related)

2D/3D Acceleration (renderscript is unknown/buggy)

Sensors

CDMA radio

GPS (not aGPS)

USB Charge/Mass Storage/ADB

Key mapping (working 'b' key)

CPU scaling works correctly

What doesn't work or is already a known bug:

The Alt-lock key.

Camera

3G data

GSM Radio (will be testing this asap)

What will NEVER work:

NFC

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] PS4AndroidHacker:
Flashing CM9

Hey guys,I found a ROM of CM9 on another site last night. I rebooted into CM Recovery and made a nandroid backup first of my factory D2G ROM. After that I cleared everything and did a factory data reset and cleared the cache and dalvik-cache. After that I flashed CM9 onto my D2G along with the ICS Gapps. Everything went just fine but upon the phone booting up, it keeps bootlooping and actually not going into the operating system. I thought maybe I need to give it some time to load and all so I let the phone sit all night waiting and woke up this morning and it was still in the bootloop. Now I'm flashing back to the SBF from Verizon and retrying everything. Can anybody tell me if I did anything wrong. I have experience with Droid 1's,HTC Hero's, T-MO G1's,etc. I'm pretty sure everything was done correctly and went by all the flashing instructions I've ever been taught. I'm kinda at a loss and think I may just keep it on a factory rooted ROM.

Model:

Droid 2 Global A956

CWM Recovery 2.0.8 I believe

I did install the bootloader app that I got

ICS CM9.zip file

1.Did BACKUP

2.Wiped Everything

3.Flashed ROM

4.Got past the Red Motorola "M"

5.Bootloop

Hi bikedude880! I'm wating for your rom in long time. I don't have a lot of rom to try.

P/S: Sorry for my bad English!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Just bought my phone yesterday & have 14 days to decide if I want opt in with Sprint's insurance plan.

I did so because I wanted to see what other "alternative" insurance competitors had to offer.

Ensquared seems to be pretty good but some things to take into consideration before choosing them:

Monthly premiums are less: $4.91 vs. Sprints $8 which comes out to $58.99/yr. vs Sprints $96/yr. And with Ensquared you pay the whole plan fee up front.

Ensquared's deductible is $75 BUT it's my understanding that there is a $35 admin fee for the first claim and a $25 admin fee for the 2nd & 3rd claim (wtf!!!).

So with Ensquared it comes out to $110 for the 1st claim & $100 for the 2nd & 3rd claims (admin fees included), whereas Sprint has a $100 deductible for 3 claims within a 12 mo. period & no admin fees (I think)

Both Ensquared & Sprint cover up to $1000 on each claim.

On Ensquared's 1 yr. plan you can file up to 2 claims within a 12 month consecutive period, their 2 yr. plan covers up to 3 claims BUT the 2 yr. plan asks for an up front payment of $99.99 which comes out to $4.16/mo. or $49.99/yr.

Sprint also allows one the option to cancel at anytime & receive a prorated credit of your unearned premium, not too sure about Ensquared.

So taking everything into consideration we can see that Ensquared's monthly premiums are lower BUT when filing a claim it costs more.

When calculating all the numbers between the two on a 1 yr. plan basis & using 2 claims within that year. Ensquared comes out to $268.99 & Sprint comes out to $296 (but you have one more claim left)

In the end I'll probably go with Sprint for 3 major reasons: The biggest is no admin fees, the 2nd is a higher number of allowed claims given within each plan period & the 3rd is the ability to recomp any unearned premium.

If anyone here has experience with both can you please post any additional pro's & cons between the two including the level of customer service.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I pay the $8 insurance on both of my phones. It is really nice being able to walk into a Sprint store and walk out one hour later if you have an issue. When I had my OG Epic, my screen went bad. I brought it in and they not only replaced the screen but also the keyboard and battery cover. It was like getting a new phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
This is where having the insurance doesn't seem to make sense... I don't carry it, but if my screen goes bad, I wall into a Sprint store, pay $35, and they replace the phone under manufacturer warranty. Only down side is it sometimes takes a day store a replacement to arrive.

In your case, you had to pay $100, or the cost of repair, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Maybe I'm wrong, but as I understand it, any insurance claims require you to send the phone to Asurion. I don't believe the Sprint stores handle any insurance claims.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mzaur:
Where did you read that the first claim has a $35 fee? First claim is $75, after that it's $100. So for one year it's $60 and two claims ($75, $100). 2 year it's ($75, $100, $100)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
I read it on their page, unless it was for a different type phone. Either way it's still ridiculous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mzaur:
I don't have Sprint. Ensquared is considerably cheaper than my options with AT&T. Even compared to Sprint's TEP, if something happens after 12 months, that's 96+100= $196 for replacement. With Ensquared it's $135 if you have 1 year plan and $175 with 2 year plan. Not ridiculous at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I was going to stop my Sprint insurance last week because I baby my phone and nothing ever happens. Then my phone stops working. After 45 mins the tech couldn't bring her back to life so they swapped it out right then and there. :) Usually they order one and it takes a day to get there but I got lucky. Lesson learned it's nice having Sprints insurance. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blkhwkz:
The $100 is only for lost/stolen phones when you go through Asurion. I have taken phones into the Sprint store and got them fixed or replaced without paying anything since I have TEP. A friend of mine that is a fireman and does construction on the side breaks his phone a few times a year and never pays for repair or replacement. Think on his latest phone he switched to Best Buy's insurance and then switched back to Sprint's after his first claim with BB. They sent his phone out for a month before finally agreeing to replace it. Sprint he has never waited more than 2 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
the $100 insurance claim also applies to broken screens w/more than a 1/2 inch crack. My wifes EVO dropped a few months back and the screen is nearly shattered. Only way to fix it is to file insurance claim and pay deductible. Sprint stores wont even touch it. Good thing for her is its still usuable and shes waiting a couple months for an upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thaprinze:
Call your home insurance. We're with Amica, and when we asked them about additional coverage for our electronics, they said we could insure all of our electronics (2 cell phones, ipad, 2 Touchpads, computers, etc.) for ~$50 per year. This would be used for worst case scenarios, such as losing your phone, or breaking it beyond repair.

If you have an issue like a bad screen, broken camera, defective microUSB port, etc just take it in to Sprint and pay the $35 to have it repaired. The only way the $8 TEP program is beneficial is if you're very clumsy and/or your phones seem to always break.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gibsonusa:
I work in a metal fab shop and my phone speakers go out a lot so 8 bucks a month is a good deal for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Well I'll agree that $50 per year to cover your electronics is good but is there a deductible that must be met first?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hawk777th:
Going to finally get around to putting some videos on my tab. I just wondered what format was best? Do you guys use the stock video player? Probably will mostly be anime stuff and am planning on just converting with Sony Vegas.

Any help would be great!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] maupenabh:
the best format for the tab seems to be mp4, but I play 720p mkv files fine too, including over wireless. The stock video player won't cut it so you should get a better player. There's plenty on the android market, mx player and mobo player are free, dice player is not. I use mx and it works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] andrewkeith5:
I haven't yet found a format that BSPlayer won't play fantastically :) Plus it's free, so there's no reason not to IMHO...just remember it'll ask you to install a plugin first time round - install whichever one it asks you too, that'll improve performance as it will use hardware decoding :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zhangyi0402:
Change your video format to mp4 with a xivd or dvix code, you will find it so cool in this tab. This format support 1080p video.

This tab is weak with h.264 code.

Hi,

This is usually a false positive alarm. it causes by runtime compression , something like zip/rar file but in runtime and for executable files. Avira Antivir usually detects this files with runtime compression as a Trojan and many times it's a false positive.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Chainfire:
App is using stolen exploits, is considered warez.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zmbutt:
exploits are warez ???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Chainfire:
Heh, I thought I closed this thread ! (Will do so after this post)

To answer your question, no exploits themselves are not warez. However, the author of the exploit code does have copyright on said code and binaries, and he never gave permission for the authors of this root app to use the exploit code and binaries. As is his good right, he has asked us to remove this app from our forums because of this.

By now, he has by the way open sourced the exploit. But as long as this app is still using the old binaries, the app is still warez, and not allowed to be on XDA.

I can receive calls just fine but when I call someone, theres no ringing and when it connects I cannot hear the person nor they can't hear me.. what could the problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
What kind of router are you using?? If it is a belkin, make sure UPNP is on in your router ..

This may also affect some other routers, with the belkins it seems to be a bug in multicast, if UPNP is not on it breaks multicast, aka audio streaming ..

Also if you have any ports forwarded in your router , disable them and see if that helps ...

I have found a couple locations that wifi calling does not work because of the router, but I was unable to find out what router they were using ...

You can test by logging into your router , finding a setting like DMZ, and set it to the IP of your phone on your wifi to see if that corrects the issue, this could help tell you if it is the router or the phone.

Hope it helps ...

So I was looking at the ICS build requirements and saw that ICS requires 16gbs of ram to build lol. Unless I am misreading something, so much for nightly builds, that is going to take forever. Anyone have a supercomputer laying around?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Also, the theming is imbedded further in the framework which makes it harder on the themers as well. I have a friend who is working on a theme for the NS4G and he said it will definitely weed out some people because it is more complex. I believe he set up an 8gb build environment to make themes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Interesting because one of the components of custom ui's (motoblur, sense, twiz) is theming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Even trying to darken the background on the dialer is proving to be a challenge. One thing I don't like is that gapps (especially Google+) are really taxing battery life. I delete a few of them as soon as I flash a new build. Fortunately, the out of the box look is great on ICS. I will probably run rooted stock ICS for a long time when it comes to this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Images in the drawable-hdpi and nodpi are actually less in ICS than our current GB's framework-res, which makes me think there's more smali/XML edits. It'll definitely be harder to theme for those with weak XML knowledge (such as myself).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Actually with TouchWiz on top of the ICS builds from Samsung it will not be much different. Most of the images are pulled from the framework rather than other places and you still have twframework with Samsung devices. It's not that it's more difficult, it's just learning where everything is now versus previous android versions.

And those requirements don't mean much, that's just if you want something done in a decent time, you really don't need all that power.

Hey everyone,

I just finally put CM7 on my Atrix (well, Neutrino, specifically) and so far it's great, but I have a few issues with the CM7 apps. I can't stand the alarm clock and I don't like the dialer much either.

I was wondering if I could take a stock Blur ROM, or even a ROM like Alien, and get BlurAlarmClock.apk and BlurDialer.apk (and perhaps BlurContacts.apk might be needed too) out of it, and flash them over the currently installed ones I have now?

Would that conflict with CM7? And are these dependent on the Blur framework?

I'm also not entirely sure how to make a flashable zip out of an apk. I am kind of new with screwing with ROMs like this, so please forgive me if this is more simple than I realize.
