[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guster730:
This isn't a huge issue, but it's slightly annoying. I've been running teamhacksung's ICS port and one day it crashed. When I rebooted Instead of seeing the AT&T logo > Cyanogenmod logo > boot animation I see the AT&T logo twice. I've flashed the glitch kernel but I still don't see it, although when I boot into recovery I see it flash for a split second.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Although I'm not on ICS right now, from what I remember from when I was on it, I think that is normal. If it's really bothering you (I don't see why), flash stock and try again to see if it still happens.
[General Questions and Answers] ChrisFSU:
If so, is there an easy way to backup everything with an APP or hooking it up to the PC?

Thanks. Oh, and it's a Galaxy S.
[General Questions and Answers] iHeadhunterz:
No it does not. Because you are only changing your Recovery Image. Installing another ROM does require wipe. Your contacts should be synced with google. as far ass messages you can use an app Called : SMSBackup and restore?
[General Questions and Answers] ChrisFSU:
Thank you so, very much!
[General Questions and Answers] marconmgm:
You can always backup with titanium if you are not sure
[General Questions and Answers] glevitan:
CWM recovery does not change anything but as they told you the recovery image and therefore allows you to flash roms and backup you actual rom.

Your best bet is to use titanium backup for the apps in case you flash a new rom. but Be carefull not to restore all apps and data in a new rom but only the missing apps. Respect to the contacts you can export them to the SD card and restore the VCF file afterwards.

The most important thing to do if you flashed CWM recovery for the first time and you are planning to explore new roms is to do a nandroid backup (Copy you actual rom option)...this will allow you to go back to your actual rom in the state that is now if you don´t like what you flashed. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Johnny Sorrow:
If you buy no other app in the market, get Titanium backup. Pro version is a no brainer

[HTC Sensation] xdafalter:
Hi,

a rather short search (i have to admit) here and in google didn't give me some usefull information about it. Anyone can give me a source for detailed infos about encyption method, algorithm, etc.? Basically I'm interessted if this is really trustworthy or just some proprietary encryption with backdors and everything.
[HTC Sensation] el_fixit:
ICS Encryption method for System and SD-Card

Hi

you can't encrypt the sdcard at the moment, because ics doesn't support that.

for the new encryption feature in ics it encrypts your /data partion with dmcrypt-luks essiv:cbc:128 this is the same encryption which is used in all minor linux distrubition for FDE. so i think it's trust worthy. On Linux the difference is that they use as default essiv:cbc:256 so on ICS the encryption isn't that hard, but i think it is still enough. And any why at this encryption the weakest point is you password!

more about dmcrypt und luks can be find in the internet. wikipedia linuxes..

if you wan't encrypted data on a sd card you can install LuksManager and create a container it uses the same technic and creates a encrypted container..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
What say you all? I've been on a Samsung kick lately and just wondering if I would be happy with the switch from the Bionic to the Nexus?

Have an Otterbox Defender and Motorola OEM extended battery for the Bionic...so extended battery and a stout case are a must for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Nexus for sure.

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
I know some people don't like typing out long winded replies but why the Nexus for sure?

Here after a while I think every electronic gadget I own will be Samsung lol.

51" plasma, 46" LED, Blu-Ray player, so on and so forth. Man to me Samsung is what Sony used to be in the late 80's through mid 90's.

Anyways, I really want a Nexus, but just not sure if I'd prefer it over the Bionic. The damned locked bootloader really has it going against it for the Bionic. Secondly I have never owned a Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
i switched from the bionic and couldn't be happier: my gnex is stable, it doesn't BSOD like my bionic frequently does (including both 5.5.893 or 5.7.893), and it holds a 4g connection in places where my bionic cannot. i haven't tried it yet, but i am also very excited about the ability to try new ROMs (without having to worry about whether or not i can return to stock on the bionic) and standard apps that are designed for AOSP (but don't play well with blur). very happy camper.

if moto ever makes another AOSP phone, i'll be the first one to buy it...but i will not purchase another blur model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
Okay thanks for that insight.

Glad to see Otterbox has a Defender case for it.

A bit worried about LTE radio signals though. Seems to be pretty widespread among the Gnex owners. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I have never owned a samsung phone either before the Galaxy Nexus. Every smartphone I have owned were HTC. (Shadow, G1, Nexus One, Sensation)

I have no issues at all with the build quality. The screen is beautiful and I think it feels fantastic in the hand.

After using the G1 and N1 and moving on the the sensation I vowed never to buy another phone that wasn't a nexus device.

As far as battery concerns go I have the GSM version and my battery life is fantastic. Best from any phone I have ever owned. My fiance has the Verizon version and she has no complaints with battery life as well. She got the extra battery charging kit with stand just in-case, but hasn't needed to battery swap yet. Plus it makes a nice desktop stand.

If you want the latest and greatest android with the ease of loading custom roms and kernels without jumping through hoops; I would definitely recommend the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
Okay thanks! I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus NIB off ebay for about $500 to $550 when tax returns come in. Hopefully I can get $300 or so for the Bionic and all accessories. Then I'll just grab an extra battery for backup and the Defender case.

Eff me, I'm really turning into a Sammy fanboi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
There is no reason over another except this phone has some serious development under it's belt. Patience and some reasonable expectations and you will have quite possibly the perfect phone. It has some flaws, don't get me wrong, but to me it already is the perfect and will get better as it ripens.

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
the only plus' with the Bionic is the extended battery is much bigger & cheaper and it has better signal strength(reception) then the Nexus. everything else though the Nexus blows it away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
Well my Bionic should be arriving on Monday. We'll see how the LTE speeds and how much changing it does from 4G to 3G once I activate it.

On my Rezound the only time I lost 4G was when I went to non 4G coverage areas in the boonies. But in the city of Chicago where I live and work, the Rezound held a darn strong 4G signal.

My Droid X is always -60dbm 0asu and almost always has full 3G anywhere in Chicago and almost anywhere in Illinois.

These issues with the Gnex signal really worry me, but I think I'm in such a good spot for LTE coverage that I probably wouldn't be affected. I work in a prison, so I can't take my phone into work and therefore don't have to worry about signal strength while in highrises downtown. Thank you all for your input. Like I said, I'll probably keep the Bionic til tax return time and have some fun with it, then hopefully the Gnex's will come down in price or I can pick up a used one cheaper than new, or they will resolve the radio issues by then.

Either way I will probably be getting one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
LTE reception should be good wherever there is coverage. CDMA and hspa will vary by location, geography and radios.

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] varsityd:
I switched from a Bionic to a Galaxy Nexus. The GN is the first Android phone I've had (among Droid Inc, Thunderbolt, and Bionic) that makes me not miss iOS' look and feel.

It comes down to a few points: 1) ICS, 2) no hardware buttons, 3) high resolution screen, and 4) LTE network. Bionic has #4, but not 1-3. If purchasing new and cost isn't a deciding factor, I really think GN is the only LTE phone to get.

P.S. I have 4 ext recovery touch (latest) and a ext4 filesystem.
[HTC Desire S] Paulst30:
I had to read this a couple of times to try and understand,

however,

If in the event that a rom isn't flashing correctly, then its assumed that you aren't formatting or wiping the phone/device correctly.

I use clockworkmod recovery, however formatting these things on a clean new installs works for me every time.

Wipe data factory reset

wipe dalvik cache

wipe data

wipe cache

If you do not wipe these things you will effectively be flashing over the top of an existing rom.

For instance you wouldn't re-install Windows without formatting the drive. Its the same principle.

I hope that helps in some way.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfessorKazuki:
Hello gentlemen!

First of all, I want to thank neobuddy and everyone that he worked with on the ICS Passion ROM. I find it excellent and have been using it for the past week or so.

I do have a slight issue, though, and as I am not yet familiar with mobile development, I am not sure if the problem stems from my hardware or the software. I bought this Vibrant used, though in excellent condition. As soon as it arrived, I rooted it and installed ICS Passion on it. Therefore, I never actually used the stock software, and that is why I am unsure if this issue stems from the ROM or from the phone itself.

Anyway, my problem is that sometimes during a call, my voice will cut in and out very frequently. This occurs with various people and in various places, so it doesn't have anything to do with signal strength. I can hear the other person just fine. It also seems to only occur when I receive a call. Once I hang up and call the person back, they seem to be able to hear me just fine.

I suspect that this has something to do with one of the following:

1) Sound filtering and normalization. The way that the software handles the data that it receives from the microphone. If it was the microphone itself, I would expect this issue to be much more consistent.

2) Which network the phone uses during phone calls. I've gathered that H is for data transfer and 3G is for phone calls (for the most part). Is it possible that ICS Passion somehow fails to switch to the proper network when a call is received? This seems unlikely as I searched through the ICS Passion thread in the dev forum, but couldn't find an issue similar to mine.

Any insight would be appreciated, although I suppose if no one can help out I can just flash the stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I can only assume it's the phone.

Thanks! :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProfessorKazuki:
Sweet, good to know, thanks. Do you know of a more permanent solution?

I'm afraid to upgrade to v10 because some people have been experiencing issues with their phones rebooting several minutes into the call. I may try it anyway, though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenrb:
Do you know if your problem is with incoming calls only?? That's where the issue seems to be, that the mute/unmute fixes. I put 10 on about a week ago, and am loving it. Put 10.5 on yesterday, and 10.6 today, so they are working on it. I think 10.6 might have fixed it for me, so I'm so happy. Thought Bionix was going to be the end of the line, I tried a couple of gingerbread roms, and had issues!
