[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokuzumi:
I can't speak for the NS4G, since I don't have one, but I did just load a stock rom on my Evo Shift 4G that I am selling. The phone is not activated right now, and was only connected to wifi. I went to check for updates, and I was able to update to the latest version available on the Shift. YMMV. I've also done the same thing on an old Evo 4G. Only connected to wifi, and was able to apply updates.

Also, has the ICS update for the Sprint version been released yet?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
There is no ICS OTA for the NS4G yet. When there is you should be able to update over wifi. Or you'll be able to just grab the OTA as a flashable zip from here once its released.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steineronie:
can you get ota with the bootloader unlocked? or do you have to relock it before you can get it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokuzumi:
I'm fairly certain you need to relock the phone, and then apply the update. The update won't process if the hboot is unlocked. From there, you will be able to unlock the phone again, to gain root access.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
I'm new to the NS4G myself so I may be wrong but I've read many people post that you can still get OTAs with an unlocked bootloader and rooted. Supposedly you just have to be on a stock ROM already and can't have made any changes to any system files.
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
Hey I just wanted to share the (2) OEM updates for the Surround.

1st was included with the 7392 update:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._e9a01966f3fe897b61f9f0712b2746adb067bfd1.cab

Brings the following up to:

Firmware revision # 2250.21.15204.502

Radio software version 5.66.09.09_22.46.50.21H

Bootloader version 1.5.2.2250.4

2nd was included with the 7720 update:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._9dc85b25de5f2e11d7649ce4fbc0a30a6918fab9.cab

Brings the following up to:

Firmware revision # 2250.21.40300.502

Radio software version 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21H

Bootloader version 4.3.2.2250.0

I traced these earlier using wireshark, enjoy!
[Surround General] jimski:
Hmm, my Surround is running different Firmware and Bootloader versions:

Firmware: 2250.21.40500.502

Bootloader: 4.5.2250.0(129685)

Running Mango OS: 7.10.7720.68 - No forced updates.
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
I am not sure why yours are different, I flashed a pre-NODO AT&T ROM to the device and I let Zune take it from there all the way to 7720. This is what was downloaded and installed to my Surround. I already downloaded those cabs manually and applied them to my wife's phone with no issues via cab sender. She missed the OEM updates alnog the way somehow.
[Surround General] jimski:
Dunno. Purchased on launch day, and stock all the way. I did have the Beta 1&2 versions of Mango on my device (Developer Unlocked), but did a hard reset just before updating to the official Mango. No updates since then, although I did get three updates that day; pre-Mango cleanup, Mango and HTC firmware.
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
jimski, I think you just explained why yours are different. You applied the beta versions of Mango to your phone which altered the "stock" ROM you had on your device. I had the same versions as your phone before I reflashed to stock and allowed Zune to do all the work this time. Even though you had a pre mango cleanup your ROM wasn't noticed as stock anymore. Anyone that has never applied the beta mango on their AT&T device and is up to todays specs please post what versions you have compared to those listed above. Thanks!
[Surround General] israel.lopez217:
Actually, his firmware and bootloader version are the same as mine, and I haven't tampered with my phone at all. Our firmware and bootloader versions are newer than yours. There's something wrong. By the way, do you by any chance use a Zune subscription?? The HTC Surround has been locking up while playing songs on battery power ever since the Mango Update.
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
I dont subscribe to the Zune service. However I did state that I had the same versions as you before I recently reflashed the stock AT&T ROM and let Zune do all the updating. Now I wonder why the current updates dont match the older updates. P.S. My phone performs much better with these lower versions that I now have compared to the versions that I had before(which you currently have). No lockups, no hesitations, no restarts. Everything has been flawless since reflashing and reupdating.
[Surround General] jimski:
I did experience lockups (alarm bug), restarts, and quirky volume changes when plugging anything into the 3.5m jack literally from the day I got my Surround (on launch day), and through the NoDo update. After NoDo, without any noticable bug improvements, I did my first hard reset (last March) and all the issues dissapeared. I wrote it off as something getting screwed up during manufacture, although the underlying ROM seemed to be fine. You might be experiencing the same thing with your recent stock ATT ROM flash. Did you try a hard reset prior to flashing?

BTW, for israel.lopez217, I do have Zune Pass, but don't stream music very often. Been playing streamed tracks for the past 20 minutes though (5 or 6 so far) and no lockups. On battery, and the screen is sleeping.

[Surround General] mangojain:
I'm not able to use the second cab to update the bootloader to version 4.3.2.2250.0 with the NT cab provided by Ansar for HTC Surround. It goes through the entire procedure and then gives an error msg at the end, saying that the update was unsuccessful.
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
I think you misunderstood what OEM meant. You need to check with Ansar about updating his ROM.
[Surround General] mangojain:
I am not allowed to post on the development forum yet, else i would ask Ansar there. Hope he reads these posts too. Updating the bootloader is hardly important, but i wish he would provide a solution for Internet Sharing not working on his NT rom.
[Surround General] mangojain:
donjulio0088 - the 2nd cab updated my stock rom yesterday. any idea where i can lay my hands on a cab for the latest firmware (2250.21.40500.502 at least) . . . Zune is not showing any updates available . . . am really desperate for ICS, my broadband connection often goes down and with my Windows 6.5 device i used to have a fallback option.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] forza11:
I have the prime now for nearly a week and i'm also really happy with it, don't really care about GPS so thats a non issue. Wifi however is not as stable I would like.

I did some inhome tests with the Prime and my old Ipad1 wifi only. The Ipad wifi connection remains stable throughout the house (speedtest.net app gives 24MB down and 4up everywhere),

The Asus is very quick in the living room where the AP is located (30 down, 4 up) but drops really hard when i walk to the first floor (5 down, 4 up). Since I can still do everything i can't really be bothered. However, the hotels I usually stay in for work have really crappy wifi, the Ipad always manages to get a signal (be it a very low signal) but i'm 100% sure the asus will fail here. I will test it soon but as I said, the Ipad and my laptop already have a low signal there (trains in at 11MB with a 'low/poor' signal). Would this be a good enough reason to return the thing for repair? What can a customer expect from a 600€ device when it comes to wifi signals?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
As title.

I can't understand why I have two different address book with two different look'n'feel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
What do you mean by two address books? You refer to contacts in dialer.apk and people.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I need to write 10 chars at least to answer yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
The phone application only lists your favorites and recent calls. (or your contacts with phone numbers if you don't have recent calls/favorites)

The people application lists your entire phonebook.

So it's not two address books.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
They've always had this in all generations of Android.

Phone.apk and Contacts.apk -- nothing new, except now its a little bit more noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
This is not true, my phone application has all my contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LOL...

Contacts.apk is the People app, AND is the dialer.

You guys are cracking me up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Does it matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
one is from the SIM card

the other one is from your Google account

if you have additional Google accounts, you will see even more address book

if you have facebook installed, you will see yet another address book from facebook

if you have Yahoo mail/messenger installed, you will see yet another address book from yahoo

if you have Twitter installed, you will see yet another address book from Twitter

if you have Lnked In installed you will see... anyways you get the point, right? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Yes because I don't understand the difference between the two apps.

If both apps has all my contacts, why have two different apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
They are shared contacts, not too different copies. So it's not two lists, just the same list viewed from different places.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
In this case I don't see the usefulness of having two apps with the same list.

They are confusing and it seems a bad merge from gingerbred and honeycomb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
the people app is new and google is trying out something different i guess. the contacts app is the same as its always been on android. the people app i think is designed to try to merge all the social sites data together into each of your contacts etc. just ignore it if you dont use people or social.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soulfl:
I fully agree and understand,

My Dialer has a nice black smooth feel then my People has this ugly white look...

I use people because i have the button on my screen but then when i'm making calls i use the dialer and for a second or so it confuses me because of the different layout and style...

I think this is what he is trying to get at is why both of them why not just link people to the dial contacts instead of having a hole separate program...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
IT.IS.THE.SAME.APP.

Different activities, same app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
Because the phone application is for calling people. It's the reason it only shows contacts with phone numbers, and when you tap on the favorites it automatically calls them. (phone call functions)

The people application is for information about people. When you tap the people it opens up the details of the people (email/chat/social/address/etc).

They have always been to seperate apps. phone.apk and contacts.apk.

The only difference now is that they debundled them appropriately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
the results doen't change ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No, but the nitpick in me hates it when people refer to it as two apps ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Ugh.. Go into apps and disable contacts... See if your results change then.

..Jack wagon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
actually it's not the same app. its two activities with different backgrounds, layouts, etc. they just contain similar information is all (i.e. your phone numbers).

contacts is the standard black background we've known for years.

people is white, totally different settings, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Really...so me editing Contacts.apk to add T9 support to the dialer...

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...50aeaa2939ef31d25359c3b82a894f84a01c43#diff-2

Pretty sure that source is contacts...

And then me taking the People app and looking at the app info calls it contacts...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
This is the correct answer.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
My bad i stand corrected i hadnt looked at the source. I guees they are 2 activities within the same apk.

But from the phone perspective they look like 2 totally different activities etc.

I started browsing thru the src's. It would be awesome if you could change the background colors to match since youre adding commits already...if cyan team dont mind that is.

Hi. Despite much searching I have been unable to locate exact information pertaining to my query. I purchased an HTC HD2 from ebay primarily because it is operating Android (Cyanogen Mod7) instead of Windows. The phone would appear not to have been factory reset and as a result I am unable to set up a Google account, etc. My knowledge is very limited but I want to do a factory reset but not delete the Android OS...how do I do this? MAGLDR V1.12 is installed and there is an option to hard reset but I do not want to end up with an empty device with no operating system. I do not have a memory card installed. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott
[HD2 General] rubledub:
1. turn phone on amd hold power button all the wayy through go go go as magLDR loads

2. choose AD Recovery ( option 5 i think?) in magLDR menu

3. once recovery boots up ... find the option to wipe user data ( sorry its been to long since ive had to wipe data from an old rom ;-)

^ the above (wipe data) is clearly marked as such!

this will reset to newly flashed shiny new fresh android rom
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
@rubledub - Is there an "ad recovery " option in magldr 1.12?

I started answering just as you have a few hours ago, but stopped when I realised magldr isn't 1.13.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
also, be advised that some builds span the system as well as the sd-ext partition. the "factory reset" option in clockworkmod (CWM) wipes the sd-ext in addition to the data and few other partitions.

therefore, if you are using such a build that relies on the sd-ext, then format the relevant partitions manually. alternately, take a CWM backup, then use the "factory reset" option, and then do an "advanced restore" to restore the sd-ext portion (because it will have been wiped during the "factory reset").

you mentioned that it is a cyanogenmod build, which means it is VERY VERY LIKELY NOT relying on the sd-ext to store the build's system files, so "factory reset" inside CWM is the recommended option for you.

the above posts may be correct, i.e. magldr 1.12 might not have support for CWM...even if it does, the build installed might not be a CWM build (there are two types: CWM zip or magldr image).

just a few things to consider.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethrd:
I was sitting here playing with my Acer Iconia A500 tablet, and went to send a text to my wife. I noticed that I didn't have any service which is strange since I have full bars in my room normally. Toggled airplane mode on and off, restarted the phone, even did a factory reset, but the phone just won't connect to any cell towers. There is no physical damage done to the phone, and it worked perfectly fine an hour before this. I was running CM7, but now I'm back on stock since AT&T said they would send me another. However, I apparently bought a refurb so the 90 day warranty is already long past which means I have to fork out for a new phone.

I'd really prefer not to. I'd like to just get the phone working properly again. Anyone have any ideas?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Yeah, you WANT to set anything you sell on eBay back to stock....

Why? Because they might take it for tech support after they buy it.

I learned that lesson the hard way 2 or 3 years ago...

When I got my G1, I sold my old HTC Touch Vogue on eBay. It was unlocked and running a Rom from the forums here on xda (NFSFan's I believe)... It stated so *VERY CLEARLY* in the description.

Well, the buyer took it to the Sprint store to activate it. Now, I knew it could be activated because I'd activated it on another line just to make sure. However, the guy at the Sprint store took ONE LOOK at it and refused to activate it since it wasn't running Sprint firmware.

The buyer emailed me back asking for help, and I assured him that it could be activated, and gave him a link to instructions on how to do so, and even gave him my phone# in case he had any questions.

Next thing I know, a chargeback hit my Paypal account for the full purchase price of the phone... apparently the guy took it back to the Sprint Store who again refused to activate it - and this time called his credit card company from the Sprint Store and the rep told them the device was broken.. So they charged back my account...

Thing is, nothing was wrong with the device, and the buyer knew what he was buying. Not only did it get charged back, but Sprint confiscated the device claiming the reason it couldn't be activated this time was that it was stolen (which it certainly wasn't)... so I was out the full sale price PLUS did not get the device returned...

I learned my lesson - NEVER EVER SELL A ROOTED/CUSTOM FIRMWARE DEVICE. Ever. Period. Sell it in FACTORY CONDITION because you never know what kind of idiot is going to get it on the other end.

I don't want to install hardspl 2.08 again because it might brick my phone? so any way to check for hardspl 2.08? My phone is currently running WM 6.5

Also, how do you check the radio version on WM6.5, because I'll also need to make sure my radio rom is compatible with the android rom..

and if I do install the same radio rom twice will it brick my phone?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
phone down

hold voldown

tap n release power

keep holding voldown

when stripey screen appears, there is a line marked spl.

as for radio, when you start booting, a screen appears with small text in teh lower corner, R,G,D, thats the rom radio and protocol version

however for simplicity, just flash them, they take seconds to flash.

put phone into bootloader

connect to usb

run hspl4 - choose 2.08.hspl

phone back into bootloader

connect usb

flash radio 2.15.50

good to go.
