This worked on my old Droid, haven't tested on my Galaxy Nexus yet -- but hopefully the app is ICS compatible: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.probeez.liteprofiles&hl=en

Setting Profiles Lite is limited to one rule -- so make your one rule this: When charging, screen timeout=never (since this actually changes the screen timeout on the basic level, instead of the workaround that the Dev Settings option triggers).

(The full version of Setting Profiles will of course also do this, and I'm sure you can also do this with Tasker.)

Hi, i've just moved to san francisco recently and i wanna get a new phone with contract. I know nexus is the best right now but which model should i choose? And i wont be buying an unlocked gsm gnex.

Will thank every post with useful opinions!

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I believe it was Tech TV, but when the iPhone 4 first came out for Verizon, they did a side-by-side comparison of the AT&T model & the Verizon model in San Francisco. They went to various locations around San Francisco testing signal strength, web page load times, uploads/downloads, etc and I recall that all but 1 of the tests came out as Verizon being the winner.

As far as the Galaxy Nexus goes, obviously, you can acquire it for either service. The plus with Verizon is you get 32GB rather then 16GB, although the battery drain is faster(with LTE on) and I believe Verizon's plans are still the most expensive also. Personally, I'm only on Verizon because I've got the no-longer-offered 'unlimited data' otherwise I'd say bye and go to AT&T or T-Mobile. I kinda miss having a GSM phone due to the ease in phone swapping + worldwide functionality(switching to other providers).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
So verizon lte is faster? And if i go to another country with a verizon locked gnex i cant use my gnex? That sucks. Now im more confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kryptonian_Knight:
welcome

I have vzw and it works heat for me. art just hot a signal boots in ad a few months ago but VZW is still faster

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
Confused ... You are saying you won't be buying an unlocked gsm nexus and asking whether att or Verizon? Currently the nexus is available only on Verizon. If you want att, you have to buy the unlocked gsm gnex and you have no other option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
Ill wait till it comes to atnt... Anyone can answer my question above?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
Oh 1 more thing i love developing my phone (rooting, flashing n etc,) so which one should be best? I really in need a response. Ill thank every useful posts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
National coverage and network: Verizon is the best. I'm happy with AT&T since it has decent coverage in major metros and I can tolerate a dropped call here and there. So if your job depend on phone calls and need network everywhere you go, Verizon is better.

International usage: ATT since you can easily swap sim cards. Some Verizon phones are world phones but I believe nexus is not.

Data speeds: nexus is lte on Verizon so it has faster data speeds compared to gsm model. Generally Verizon lte has much better coverage than att. Att just got started on lte. But att hspa speeds are more than enough. I easily get anywhere between 3 - 5 Mbps average speeds on att which is more than enough for me.

Phone choices: I love the fact that I can import unlocked phones and just pop a sim to get it working on att. But if you only buy contract phones then both network has good phone options.

Also on modding with nexus no issues, otherwise both network force manufacturers to lock bootloader. But nowadays it has gotten better with manufacturers providing option to unlock bootloaders after the device is released in a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
Thanks for the lengthy response i wanna get the at&t coz its cheaper. Also i dont often call or need an internet that fast that but i think i need to wait 2 more months to have it with contract. About the modding, is one faster than the other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
I am thinking of getting the verizon right now. Anymore inputs?

An entire forum of developers and not one comment about ATT in SF? Amazing!!

TO the OP, other than the above comment regarding National Coverage (verizon is better), which is true, let me speak specifically to SF:

DO NOT get ATT! The network is embarrassing bad in SF, and while I have been outside of SF for about a year now, I am sure others can speak to this. TO be fair, when I left they were investing a few million to patch it up but I am not sure where that was left. I had to move to Verizon for this simple reason alone. There was a reason it was so bad. All the Iphone users during commute hours and the network was not up to par. Lots of anger....

Verizon was great once i switched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
Im officially getting a verizon nexus when they are open. There is only 1 thing that im concered about. I am here for college and ill return back to my country for a couple of months on summer break. But its ok i think... Ill use my dhd in there thx for the responses guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craze96:
I know about that offer. Thanks for answering though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
I was surprised as well and yes you are right AT&T service is terrible in San Francisco.

I had AT&T since the first iPhone and just recently switched. AT&T was great at home and where I work but was simply infuriating when I would be in the city.

There are still some low speed areas on Verizon in SF but I have had much better luck.

I once used a custom rom, and also did some partitioning in order to use swap.

I dont remeber if i repartitioned my phones internal memory, is there a way to restore it to factory condition?

Every other ROM i ever tried was laggy, though i cleaned all cache dalvik etc

What could i have done wrong?

Furthermore, there is no way to connect my phone with pc.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] martin255:
With Mur4ik's bootloader you can flash the stock 250 MB system partition.

And with any partition wizard software you can repartition your micro SD to stock.

But without proper connection to your phone it will be difficult, especially the internal memory resizing part, because that part has to be done via fastboot. Repartitioning the SD can be done with a single micro sd reader.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] gordito_gr:
I tried installing many drivers i found in these forums, but my phone still shows as an unidentified device.

Any suggestions?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] darko94:
Uninstall all previous drivers you installed, and use official LG drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035853 or install them using Windows Update. Also try using rear USB ports, not the front ones.
[Thunderbolt General] ahart814:
Guys...

I have a Thunderbolt and due to the length of time I have been with Verizon and issues I have had, they are giving me a new phone of my choice (not a refurb).

What phone would you all go to (those who root and use custom ROMs) if you had your choice of any phone. Keep in mind I have always liked Sense Rom's but have never had a Motorola phone or a Nexus.

Please let me know!!!!

Thanks so much and have a happy new year!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Cygnusis-X1:
I'm personally not very fond of Sense & Motoblur UI. I would suggest the Galaxy Nexus, especially if they are giving you a new phone (hopefully free for you) and one of the major reasons why I would is first and foremost the HD Super AMOLED screen in general PLUS it having a 1280x720 resolution on that beautiful 4.6" screen (black pixels actually turn off instead of illuminating and looking wasted out and colors are 10X more vibrant), the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, PURE Google phone so no custom UI and you get all the updates before any other phone, Android 4.0 (Mmm), 1850mAh battery (soooo much better than the Thunderbolt) and 1080p video recording.

For me that is the only phone that I would go with, especially as far as what phones are out now on Verizon (which aren't that impressive). That HD Super AMOLED screen is just too sweet to pass up!
[Thunderbolt General] ahart814:
Better than the Rezound or Razr?? Think I should wait for quad core?
[Thunderbolt General] rexorz:
Nexus all the way.
[Thunderbolt General] Cygnusis-X1:
In my opinion I would say so because the Razr has an ugly amount of bezel around the LCD and the resolution is only 960x540 and has the Motoblur overlay and the Rezound is not too bad of a phone, I am just not too much of a fan of the Sense overlay either. I'm not sure but I think quad-core phones won't appear until around Quarter 2 or so of 2012.

Waiting is always not a bad idea, but the Galaxy Nexus is definitely worth it, again IMO. haha hopefully I was some help.
[Thunderbolt General] tcberg2010:
This.
[Thunderbolt General] aislepathlight:
I'm basically the same boat, and but I was told that I could have anything

but

the Nexus, which is very disappointing. My story is in a different thread further down...
[Thunderbolt General] Cygnusis-X1:
What was the reason?
[Thunderbolt General] EggoEspada:
That's pretty messed up. If that's the case though, The HTC Rezound is a no brainier. It's similar spec'd and the display is gorgeous.
[Thunderbolt General] ahart814:
Think I should wait for the spring and keep my tbolt? Or is the Rezound or Nexus really worth it??
[Thunderbolt General] Cygnusis-X1:
I think the nexus is definitely worth it.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Find out the most expensive phone they'll give you. Take that value, presuming it's lower than the Nexus, and offer to pay the difference.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
howd you get a replacement? They sent me like 5 refurbs. Then finally they sent me a bionic, refurb, and I'm not real thrilled with it. It keeps forcing updates then failing and losing all my data. Kinda tired of dealing with these issues after paying 2400+ a year. At this point I would like to see if the rezound is any better, but they want me to shell out another 250 for the "privilege" of an early upgrade.
[Thunderbolt General] ahart814:
I have a business account with several phones which allows me certain "perks"
[Thunderbolt General] FJ40dan:
Don't get a Charge

I had 2 thunderbolts and then did the charge when the random reboot started. Waited for the TB and glad I went back no comparison. Slow, everything, gps, data, email etc. Had a TB a month now and loving it.
[Thunderbolt General] number5toad:
I liked my bolt before it was rooted, now that it's rooted I love the sh*t out of it....but if you're in the mood for a change, I agree with the recommendation for the Nexus. I got to play with one for a good hour or so last week and really fell in love. I'm not 100% sure if it was the hardware or ICS that really appealed to me, but since you can get both at the same time, why not go for it?

I personally like the RAZR quite a bit too, but all things being equal, Nexus seems like the way to go.
[Thunderbolt General] tedkord:
I'm in the wait crowd. I want the specs of the nexus, but its got some important omissions. The GPU isn't up to snuff for a brand new top of the line phone, and its got no expansion slot for a microsd card. And, did I read the battery isn't user changeable?

I was excited by the nexus, but if the SGS3 is quad core, Super amoled HD (RGB, not pentile) and it can take a memo card, its worth the wait. I'm not so excited about the nexus since it came out.

[Thunderbolt General] aislepathlight:
Hey, sorry about being away, for a while, long story. But the first one that I bought came with bad light leaks. The second one came badly scractched and dented. The next one was the one I had the bulk of the time, but the headphone jack ended up dieing. I was sent a replacement for that which came with a broken ear piece. The final one came with a damaged battery cover, which I just swapped with the previous phone, so no big deal.

The biggest complaint I have had is that they tried to charge me for one of the phones I had sent back, which took at least a half dozen calls and many hours to get fixed. They had sent me text messages saying that they had recieved the phone, but then a series of text messages saying that they were going to charge me for the phone not being returned. It took taking to a manager to check the future bills and a couple forms filled out for them to refund the charge.

More later...
[Thunderbolt General] chrisrach3:
I'm on my 7th or 8th Thunderbolt. I've been having intermittent POP3 email problems ever since I've had the phone(s). I went to a Verizon store a couple of times recently when I had the issue and noticed that with the exact same settings, the Galaxy and the Rezound worked while the Thunderbolt did not. The Bionic and Razr also did not work.

Anyway, they won't let me have anything except for a Charge or Revolution. I think the Revolution is a lesser phone than the Thunderbolt, and I don't know if my POP3 account would work on the Charge. I would've tried it out, but either the store didn't have it or it wasn't working if they did.

Has anyone come across this same issue before? If so, what amount (and nature) of convincing did it take to get them to offer something better?

I traded my EVO 4G for Galaxy S2 (Epic) like I planned months ago when they announced Galaxy S2 for first time. I want to thank each of you guys here for help, tweaks, mods, ROM's and other things that kept my EVO running better. I will step by periodically to check if anyone needs help with something that I can help with, but moving primary interest to Samsung S2 sub-forum.

If anyone wonders I traded EVO plus $110 for Galaxy and Galaxy is awesome and crazy fast :) and EVO is let's face it - hardware outdated for current and next upcoming android versions.

As an owner of both phones I must say the battery life on the Epic is quite nice and working on them now is not an issue as another poster mentioned. I read about the OG Epic issue and as of right now its flash city over there. CM7 and MIUI is coming up. Not telling you to change but saying if you want to Epic is a good look...
[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
yea...its very tempting...maybe sprint will drop a bomb at CES (doubt it) i work for sprint on the wireline side of the house so upgrades arent too difficult to get. its just hard to leave the evo, plus i'd have to wait for a dev to pull touchwiz...some ppl like it, but i dont. just a fan of aosp's...the touch will have it soon i'm sure.

running ics evervolv rom with the camera and gps zip flashed and i love it. few hiccups here and there but deff on its way to some solid goodness.
[EVO 4G General] gsx62391:
I made the switch too only because my evo charging port fell out and the evo was starting to get a little stale since having it from release day. My wife has had the first epic 4g since launch and i hate that thing with a passion. But the epic 4g touch is a totally different beast. Its like the first couple months of having the evo, i cant put this thing down. Its bigger, way faster, thinner, lighter, and the battery lasts me all day for once. Speaking of fast, i had gotten so used to the "Android" lag that i didnt even notice it anymore. But if there is a phone out there that completely takes the lag out of Android its this phone. Wow. I have a whole new perspective on Samsung. 1.2ghz dual core is quite a jump from 1ghz. And it overclocks to 1.7ghz dual core!!! I thank my EVO for being the best phone of my life while it lasted, but i honestly can say it is not missed! Thanks to all the devs and members who kept the EVO at the top of the cellphone food chain, but evolution has just kicked in! (pun intended)
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
^ this.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
^^^This guy aint lying, when you guys get a chance go and pickup Epic Touch, its a hell of a phone. I know this is an Evo forum and I have both but he is not lying it will make you not miss your Evo as hard as that is for me to say.
[EVO 4G General] Mship:
I gots to agree. I made the switch about 3 months ago and I not looking back. Well I am for CM7, but the phone even with the stock Touchwiz (oh the horror) is actually pretty good. This is coming from a guy who had the Moment and I said I would never buy another Samsung phone gain. I probably would have kept the Evo if the charging port didnt break.
[EVO 4G General] johntheman:
So for all you former evo owners now on the ET4G, how's the reception (phone, data, gps)? Is it as bad as people say about Samsungs?
[EVO 4G General] gsx62391:
I haven't had a problem yet that my evo didn't face. But I've been rooted since the moment I got this phone. This phone does show 3 bars where my evo would show full, but I have done multiple speed tests and I'm still getting the same speeds even though the E4gt shows less bars. I recall having this problem with the first couple of builds for the evo too. I've tried every modem out there and they all show the same bars and speeds for me. So either I'm not affected by it in my area or people really just need to see more bars to think it has a better radio. either way it's sprint so you can't expect to much in the way of speed and strength of signal.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:

[G2 and Desire Z General] PoorCollegeGuy:
Actually, here's the deal

You CAN rename backups. I do it all the time. What you CANNOT do is add spaces.

My_Rom <----works

My Rom <-----will fail

I usually use camel casing (camelCasing). I've seen people with this problem in a few other phone forums and just happened to stumble on this :)

OP, if you rename your backup to one that has no spaces, then you should be alright!

Hope I helped!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
i didn't try without spaces, but could a space make the md5sum different? i thought just renaming the thing changes the md5sum :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] PoorCollegeGuy:
Nope, the md5sum is stored in a .txt file in the backup folder and doesn't ever change (even with the name). If you change the .txt file in any way it'll probably break the back up. I'm not sure the logistics behind it, but spaces break something that removing the space will fix.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
A couple things.. The spaces are because of the file reader cannot register the new tokens, some programs (windows and most OSs) are completely fine with this, however some just don't have he exception to deal with it. As for changing the .txt file with the md5, that wont actually break the backup, but CWM will think that it is cause they don't matchup
[G2 and Desire Z General] sebastianlow:
Why not just use 4ext? They name the backup for you, very nice recovery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmoG530:
Are there any benefits for doing so and if so, what are the best sets for it???
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyboyC13:
yes battery life can be improved significant also with the overclocked kernal you need higher voltages to remain stable.

Just to make sure you know you need to have a custom kernel flashed such as faux's kernel to do either of these things.

As for values it really is a by phone thing some people will be able to drop voltages quite a buy while other can't drop at all typically though at lower clock speed voltage can be drop much more on my phone at 1000mhz it has a 50mV drop but at 216 its a 275mV drop
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmoG530:
Okay, I understand you. At this moment I have the 1.3 kernel from faux. I know some people said that certain voltages can crash your phone, so I wanted to make sure I had help before I messed something up.

*EDIT*

I have it set to 1.1 mhz
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ar31791:
Use SetCPU. A good way to undervolt is to decrease all clock speeds by 25mV to start. Play around with your phone and games to see if anything freezes up. Then keep lowering 25mV at a time until you start seeing instability, then put it back up 25mV to where it is stable and you should be pretty good.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Quick tip: Before you start messing with voltage settings go to SetCPU's main screen and press Menu>Safe Mode Instructions>Extract Zip.

I hardly ever see this mentioned, but if for any reason you select "Set at Boot" when testing out settings and get stuck in a bootloop, flashing the zip that is extracted will put you in "Safe Mode" and none of your settings will be applied, allowing you to correct the unstable ones.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmoG530:
Thank you all for your help. I have the voltage clocked at 1125mv from 1200mv (1200mhz) mv and 500mv from 750mv (216mhz). Everything seems to be running smoothly, but haven't been able to run an appropriate test for battery life yet.
