[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
I believe I am ready to root my NT but am second guessing myself so could you wonderful people read the steps I believe I need to follow to see if my understanding is correct. If I have any part wrong could you please correct me? Thank you in advance. (I will be thanking you again when it all works.)

1.	Turn off wi-fi

2.	Factory Restore either by using the ‘n’ and power key 8-10x or the magic sd card

3.	Use Indirect’s [Blocks OTA's!] Full root for Nook Tablet. [11/20/11] [Permanent root!] with help from Albert’s videos as I need VIDEO Collection: How To Root, use Dropbox, demo by Albert Wertz of Tabletroms

4.	[simple]How to stop OTA's[tutorial] Will I need to do this, taking it to 9.9.9 or is that done already in the root (step 3)?

5.	Install HomeCatcher

6.	Now do brianf21’s Hidden Settings App Updated 12/29/11

7.	Then do SG Pillar’s instructions with ADW Ex launcher to make my homescreen the way I want it.

Now if I do all above correctly I will:

A.	Block those damn FOTA updates

B.	Still be able to use Nook apps/site/books

C.	Be able to use Amazon apps

D.	Be able to use Android Market

Please make corrects where needed. I don’t want to brick this thing but I want to be able to use it with the freedom I feel I have the right to. Once I know I have stuff right I will throw back a no-doze with a pepsi-max and get to work. Thanks for your help!!

Thanks a bunch!!!! I don't know how I missed that post but it is just what I need!!! :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
I just re-watched the videos. I can't thank you enough for those. I will be doing the root first thing in the morning. Two questions...

1. Do I need to do the factory restore first to go back to 1.4.0?

2. Do I leave the wi-fi for the whole process or do I turn that off after doing the drivers?

Again thank you and all rest for all your hard work!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
1. Yes hard reset and wipe data (de-register) both are different.

2. Off

Hallo an Alle, ob deutsch oder anders sprachig.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MotorcycleMike:
My Incredible 2 is rooted, S-Off and running the stock ROM. If I use the HTC Unlocker will I lose or gain anything? I would like to get official OTA updates (which I do not accept now in fear of losing Root) rather than flash them from developers. Will Wireless Tether be affected if I use the HTC unlocker? Will programs like Superuser and Busybox and other Root-dependent programs still work? Will I need to re-Root?

Thanks.

Mike
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Better off without it as then Verizon will prob know youre rooted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
That would be the case, as when you unlock it, it says **unlocked** at the top. Once relocked, it will say **relocked** showing it was unlocked before.

That and apparently HTC will send those that use it to Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
Has this been confirmed tho? Or simply speculation?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fearbeta:
HTC unlock doesn't give you s-off so no I don't think there would be any benefit. I also read that people are having trouble installing custom roms.

I s-off my phone,it says **unlocked** at the top.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxynexusVZW:
I have had the phone for 5 days and with fairly light usage, I am still not getting good battery life. I turn off all data and wifi when not using it and screen on time is below 2 hours.

Below is a screenshot of my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macooper79:
It doesn't get better...get used to it until its fixed in an update , along with the other big issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
By about the 3rd day it seemed better. But it's also difficult to gauge because the first few days you're bound to toy with it constantly.

Until there is an empirical way to gauge usage, like an amp meter attached to the phone - it's all perception imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
In the top left you have three things running in the background, im assuming constantly. Uninstall them, especially the battery percentage since you can look that up easily on your phone

Do yourself a favor and try aokp milestone 1 from rootzwiki , and also download lean kernel 1.1.1 on xda. Use interactiveX governor for kernel. This is the exact setup I am using now, and have been for a few days and have been getting insane battery life. Hope everything works for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
Best I got is 16 hours bone stock just an extended battery. Worst I got was 4 hours(screen was on the whole time) watched 2 movies before I plugged in. I average around 12 hours from 100% to 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
First off, it's hard to tell by your screenshot how good or bad your battery life is. You're burning approximately 10%/hr, but maybe you had your screen on or were surfing the internet for a portion of that time. Anything that involves data transfer will kill your battery faster.

I got my Galaxy Nexus on Wednesday, and I've had great battery from the start. I calibrated it by letting the phone's initial charge die down to zero, and then charged it all the way up to 100%, and then used the Battery Calibration tool. I drain between 2-3% hour with light use, but can obviously drain much more depending on what I'm using the phone for.

That being said, for those on this board who think an OS upgrade is going to fix the problem, I highly doubt it. I have a reasonably poor cell signal (averages around -95 dbm), but still get solid battery life. Given that we were all issued phones with the same software, if you're experiencing incredibly bad battery life, I'm going to point my finger at the hardware. It just doesn't make sense that some of us with 4.0.2 get great battery life, and others do not. You probably have either a bad battery or a bad phone. Now, I'll probably get called out for saying this, but watch all the posts that follow when the update releases, when people still have poor battery life.

This is my 3rd Android phone (Incredible, Charge, GN), and every one of these phones has had poor battery life. On average, if I'm playing around with the screen on, I'm draining upwards of 10%/hr, if not more. But if you properly calibrate the battery - which is VERY important - you should easily be able to get a full day's charge out of your phone.

There is a post on XDA about the 13 steps to proper battery calibration. Once I followed it on my last phone, my battery life went up at least 50%. You have to let the battery drain to 100%, then bump charge a number of times, then use the battery calibrator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Try running without JuiceDefender. Constantly toggling data on and off (or wifi on and off) actually hurts battery in almost all cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stockmoose16:
Your results may vary, but when I used Juice Defender or Green Power on my Droid Charge, I nearly doubled the battery life. I haven't put it on my GN yet because my battery life is much better than what I had with the Charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
No using JD or anything like that. Just the the phone do its thing. I don't even open the multitask button unless I want to switch between apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
Gotta be a software issue with the battery.

Just this past weekend in Wash DC. Very strong 4 G market.

I had it fully charged off charger. After 7 hours without touching the phone even with google plus sign out, the battery went from 100% to 54%. It's like the phone was active a lot without me even touching it. No SMS/mms either. No emails either.

Know. I did same thing and put it on airplane mode with it 100% charged. After 7 hours on airplane mode it was at 98%.

So it's gotta be an operating system issue.

I tried it on wifi instead of 4G mode. And battery drainage was down to 72% after no use overnight.

I would recommend a full nandroid backup before deleting stuff, just in case.then a full titanium backup, in case you mess up with one app. Then start uninstalling. there are lists of what is safe to remove. Or you can freeze, then if everything is ok after a day or two of use, uninstall the app.

if i freeze an app is that the same as deleting?? of coarse i know if u delete you get the extra space..but other than that is there a real difference?

Freezing stops it from running, it's like uninstalling without losing the files. One you confirm the file isn't necessary for anything you use, then you can uninstall.

[HTC Amaze 4G] peterg21:
I am in Canada and have been looking for a decent TPU case for the Amaze. I don't want to order the case online as I want to actually physically see and feel the case, the main issue with TPU cases and the Amaze being pushing the volume rocker buttons which can be very difficult.

Of the two cases I have played with, the one that is easier - a lot easier - in changing the volume does not have the 3 holes around the camera and the flash. So I went on a quest on this site, google and HTC themselves to try and find out exactly what the 3 holes were for.

Yes, the conventional wisdom is that these 3 holes are for noise cancellation but it is not as simple as that. I took off the back of the phone and examined the back and the chassis itself. Two of the holes apparently seem to correspond directly with antennae and do not seem to have much, if anything, to do with microphones. The one which most probably deals with noise cancellation is to the right of the flash LEDs.

The next question is noise cancellation with respect to what? Is this to do with voice calls or video recording or both? Two calls to HTC and the first person in tech support did not even know there were any holes there and even pointing her to photos on the htc website of the back did not result in her seeing the holes. So I phoned back again and this person was somewhat more clueful but was unable to provide me with anything really conclusive.

When it came to noise cancellation she said that with this phone and most HTC phones, the noise cancellation is primarily (if not exclusively) for video recording. That could be what the one hole is for.

I then did a test with the 2 cases (one with holes and the other not) in a noisy environment with the noise essentially coming from one source (an area facing the rear of the phone) and called my voicemail at home and left messages. When I came home I really did not hear any more material difference between the two calls.

The reason I went to all this trouble was basically because I tried to justify getting the phone without the 3 holes at the back.

I called HTC today and they said NOT and they emphasized NOT to cover those holes, they will affect rectption etc. They were not specific on what each hole is for there are three around the camera, does anyone know, exactly what each one is for...

my guess is one is for noise cancellilng, one for wifi and one for cellular, but don't know which is which...I believe the right one is for noise cancelling, not sure what the top and left are for? anyone know??

thanks

Right hole is for cellular radio

back hole is for......!!!! :eek: j/k
[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
One hole for noise canceling. Other two for stero recording for camcorder. You guys don't research your phones much that is explained on many websites. Google amaze 4g specs plenty of websites explain that. What would a pin hole have to do with WiFi and cell reception. This the first electronic device you have ever owned that doesn't even make sence.

+1 to this. I bought it from amazon. I think the brand name is Diztronic. I got mine from amazon for $10 shipped (amazon prime :D). So far, the the diztronic tpu case seems to work perfect for me: it got the holes, has a nice feel to it, and does not feel very bulky too. It also has a pretty good review on Amazon.

I use the black color, but the grey smoke seems pretty cool too. Based on the amazon review, the grey smoke looks better on black amaze (which made me regret it now, I should've tried the grey smoke color :mad:).

Hello to all.

just got my new Nexus S. Had a sgs before and got stolen..

My question is the following:

When i booted the phone it had the gb 2.3.4 and after i made a search for update it said i am currently up to date...

I know that 2.3.6 came to Greece some weeks ago so i should be able to get it if not ICS.

Any thoughts?

On about phone --> model - nexus s

android version - 2.3.4

baseband version - I9023XXKD1 ---@

build number - GRJ22

On Fastboot mode --> product name - hearing

hw version - rev 52

bootloader version - I9020XXKA3

baseband version - I9020XXKD1 ---@

Furthermore i would like to now which model i have , I9020 or I9023? On the back of the phone when i remove the battery it says I9023..

thank you all
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flodb113:
You have the i9023 version. Mine is also s-lcd and in fastboot it said 9020, so it's normal. You can grab the 2.3.6 update and flash it through custom/normal revovery from one of the sticky posts in General Section. There are threads here that help you in doing that.

After that you could also upgrade to ICS in the same way. Happy flashing!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasilios1979:
is it ok not to have ota updates....?

i only took that instead of sgs because of the updates....

is there a way to fix it? furthermore do i have to ulock bootloger to update manually?

thnks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flodb113:
Well it could take some time from activating the device until getting the update notification. You should get it eventually.

If it's one of the official updates from Google I don't think you need an unlocked bootloader, but I'm not that sure (when I tried it, I had an unlocked bootloader). Download the OTA package from here, put it in the root of your usb drive (not in any folder). Be sure to download the proper version for you -the i9023- then:

-turn the phone off

-press and hold (at the same time) Volume Up+Power Button

-scroll with the volume buttons to "Recovery" and select it by pressing the power button

-here, if you only see a triangle and an android, press volume up and a menu should appear

-you should see an "apply update from sdcard" or something simillar. Select it, then chose your OTA .zip file

-when it's done, reboot and you're good to go

Note: If you get an error stating something like "Could not verify signature" it means the file may be corrupt download it again and start over. If you get an error saying "Version verification failed" you downloaded the wrong file.

Normally, when flashing a new rom it's necessary to wipe dalvik, cache etc. But I applied the 4.0.3 OTA over stock 2.3.6, through the built-in recovery, with no problem whatsoever.

EDIT: I also chose the Nexus S over the SGS and I can say there are no regrets. I'm loving my phone and if there's any question, the solution is most likely here on xda. Great developers and community for the NS

I have flashed KL7 and found that really smooth then before at Stock Browser when scrolling. However, for scrolling, it's now become not fix for horizontal and vertical at same level(just like Opera). Is there any way to fix the same level when do horizontal or vertical scrolling just like the verison before? Thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] blaaez:
I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but I do notice too that with KL7 everything is silky smooth, but the browser now almost feels TOO smooth in that now quickly flick-scrolling causes the pages to scroll in a zig-zag fashion now where previously the pages would smoothly scroll downwards. If there was any way to get back previous scrolling behaviour of the browsers pre-KL7 I'd much prefer that too!!
