I recently noticed that Blood and Glory is not visible in the Market on my Note and I cannot download the files to my SD Card. It just says 'Checking Version' then I get an error message stating that an internet connection is needed although I am online.

Anyone has this issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] senectus:
its already installed on mine, and works fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Final5k:
senectus, if you go to Market, can you see Blood and Glory and do you have the open/uninstall option via Market? I was able to download it earlier on but uninstalled recently, since then it does not appear anywhere on Market.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlaow:
Hi, i wanted to flash miui rom on my phone via the cwm recovery.

but i can't do backup from there, it says can't mount backup path when i tried to do a backup. i also can't do restore from the option,it will says E:can't mount /sdcard.

i'm using CWM recovery 5.0.2.7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neobirdrio:
Have you tried mount sdcard? In recovery mode - mount storage

Mount / sdcard ( if it look like this.. That mean your sdcard currently not mounted)

Unmount / sdcard ( mean currently mounted)

Btw, you dont need those backup, in some cases, when you flashed other rom, then you dont like it, and when you going restore the backup you made, its not working. The restoration process fails. And sometimes recovery mode not working, only download mode available.

You better get your self your firmware file ready in your pc, and odin software. If anything happen, the solution is in your hand.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisjm00:
I've been looking all over for this and I can't find it. I have the gnex with the extended battery. I bought one tpu case but because the lips along the edges were so shallow, the edges would sag under the side of the phone. Can anyone who has the diztronic case and extended battery tell me if the lip of the case comes over the phone the entire length of the phone? I ordered the smoked translucent color one and am wondering if the case covers all the edges of the phone when on, preferably with the extended battery door on. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
version 1 & 2 the lip fits great and over the edge to the screen(i have both). reading various threads version 3 the lip is a little looser on the volume side because of the cutout, but some people still find it acceptable and it's still over the edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vertiginouz:
I have the revision three case and it fits just as well as revision one. (I have both)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisjm00:
So the case will sit above the edge of the phone the entire border of it? It doesn't have to be super super right, but it does rest the entire lip of the case over top of then phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
yes and yes. there's an entire thread here about this case, i believe there's pictures as well as video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisjm00:
Just got my case today. Fits exactly how my diztronic case fit for my Droid bionic. Did they add extended battery support in rev3? It fits like it was designed for the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PossumK11:
I got my rev 3 case yesterday for my Verizon phone with extended battery. Fitment is very good, but not perfect. The power button sits fairly close to the edge of the cutout instead of dead center, which the volume buttons are. I'm not sure if this is by design or if the case is being pushed away from the phone from the extra thickness of the extended battery. The result is that the power button is a bit harder to press, but it is not bad at all. With my Case Mate Barely There case and the extended battery, all buttons would sit directly against the cutout edge making them much harder to press. For $10 the Diztronic rev 3 case ended up being almost as slim as my Barely There case with full protection around the sides of the phone and very good extended battery fitment. Definitely a great deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] futureaccount:
I found this "wake on volume" zip (mod?) in the "sky ice cream sandwich" thread and installed it through recovery (the rom manager one). The installation was smooth and no error was shown and I even remembered seeing a "enjoy" down the botton when the installation was done. Then I rebooted my phone. Surprisingly, that "wake on volume" doesn't work! Oh well, I can live with it so I can just leave it there unfunctioning. However I later found out my root was GONE! My guess was that mod somehow destroyed it, so I tried to re-root my phone, but the "skyrocket-easy-root" didn't work. It said I should have root. wtf. So I went back to the "sky ice cream sandwich" thread and downloaded the mod under the previous one, which was supposed to be the "revert". I certainly hope installing it will solve my root problem. But now somehow I can't boot into recovery!!! Not via rom manager nor holding up+down+power!!! I'm screwed!!!

It's really not fun to set up everything again but I will do that if factory reset is the only way...but I'm afraid this issue persists after reset...root sometimes survives reset maybe so does "root problem"

Again, help is desparately needed here!

I won't try no mod anymore!:mad:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
Obviously the Atrix is less than a year old. If I were to take my phone into a warranty center would they require a receipt or anything? I read somewhere else that as long as the imei matches up and there's no liquid damage they don't care. Phone was bought second hand.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erick161:
Shouldn't be a problem. They will look up your account anyways.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tada1228:
I bought my Atrix on Craigslist. I hardbricked it by trying to downgrade to 2.2 froyo.. I checked my Imei on the Motorola website to check if the warranty was still covered on my Atrix and it said it was. So I just filled out the form they tell you to fill out, printed the paper and included it inside the box with the Atrix and just sent it out like that. It did not require a proof of purchase. Oh and make you don't include the Back plate or the battery, they don't need those. They will not send you a new or refurbished Atrix, they will just replace or fix the problem and send it back.

Oh yeah, make sure that the white sticker that's next to the sim card slot is white, and not red, because they might invalidate the RMA. The sticker on the battery can be red because you don't have to send that in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Ok, I have been with my Verizon-Nexus for 5 days now, having come from Sprint and the Epic 4G Touch Galaxy SII.

My Galaxy SII was rooted with the best ROM by Calk. Phone was ****ing crazy fast, and smooth as hot butter, ZERO lag whatsoever. You just barely touched the phone and it did what you command in 1/100th of a second :D

Now I have the Galaxy-Nexus, tried it stock, and then with a couple of the most popular ROM's + kernels, and stock or ROM'd this Nexus just has lag in areas I was not expecting. And the colors of the screen are not as vibrant and popping like the GSII. But my biggest gripe is how laggy this phone feels, it is pretty shocking, just open and close the app drawer, there is an ever so slight hiccup when it zooms in and out, almost a slight shake or stutter, for just a split second. But on my GS2 it opened before you hit the button, you just thought it and bam it opened, was that fast.

Scrolling and swiping between screens, is not as fluid as the GS2, there can be just a tiny bit of lag on the swipe of the Nexus, where the GS2 was like flowing water smooth. What I mean is, go to your furthest screen, then press the home key for it to take you back, there can be a little jitterbug lag on the Nexus for like 1/2 a sec, but on the GS2 it is warp speed factor 9 fast.

Battery life, just no comparison whatsoever, the GS2 could go 40+ hours on light, and 16 hours on full blast heavy day with like 4 hours on screen display. Nexus is not even in the same league. Hopefully Google updates and improved ROM's will fix this eventually.

Enough *****ing :) I do love the Nexus, pure ICS is awesome, and no GS2 ROM can come close, and the LTE network and better carrier overall compared to Sprint is why I jumped ship. The high res 720p screen is amazing, as much as a loved the GS2 screen, the high detail on the Nexus is awesome. The build quality on the Nexus feels very solid, and just a mature and artist design, compared to the plastic cheap GS2 feel.

The Nexus feels like Android has grown up, and improved greatly. Just I have a beef with the lag, and chop in this phone. If it came out after the GS2, and is running the latest and greatest OS, it should blow the GS2 out of the water, not be a step backwards in performance. Why didn't Samsung + Google think this out a little better, I mean build it off the GS2 architecture, use the same hardware from the GS2, but with the high res 720p screen, and 4.0 ICS. It seems in the hardware area they dropped the ball or something ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The screen is more realistic in terms of color compared to the over saturated screen of the SII. Also, I can get two days on light usage easy.. and 20 hours with 3.5 screen on as well.. I also don't have the lag you speak of :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Try bigxie's rom and pair it with Franco's kernel.

If you still think the phone is laggy, then you should probably go back to the sgs2. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LORDFIRE00:
sorry, hit reply button to fast. you are forgetting one EXTREME major difference between the TWO devices.

the nexus does NOT have a DUAL CORE processor.

the S2 DOES
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
You must be thinking about the nexus s as the galaxy nexus most definitely does have dual core.

The biggest diff between the s2 and the gn is that the gn has a display resolution of 1280x720 which means the gpu has to push 2.5x more pixels than the s2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Really?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
lol lol lol lol lol !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdkizzle:
I don't get any lag either?

It's great for me though, this phone has absolutely exceeded my expectations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hugo87:
Hes talking about the GS2 Exynos dual core vs nexus TI Omap dual core. Exynos is known to be a beast in the mobile processor. Iphone 4s dual core may be the only better dual core at the moment. But im sure the next best thing is just around the corner as always... tegra 3 samsungs own exynos quad core etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Radsolutionz:
so i just sold my s2.... to buy a GNEX... lol was the extra cash worth it? lol it comes in mail tomorrow im stoked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
Unfortunately the GN has more pixels to push with a slower GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I swear the verizon version must be different cause i get smooth as butter on the gsm version. And we see lots of complaints of lag on the verizon one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
With this ROM the phone is much smoother, I don't mean to exaggerate, this is a fast and bad ass phone, don't get me wrong.

Just saying, if you have used a rooted and ROM'd Galaxy SII, that phone just seems fluid and smooth 110% of the time, where the Nexus is smooth 90% of the time if that makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
I totally agree with you mate, SGS2 is a much faster and more responsive, and fluid phone than the Galaxy Nexus

Other than the high resolution of the screen straining the processor, I dont know what could be the reason.

However, BATTERY! I cant offer any explanation, how the heck can there be such a major (almost 50%) drop in the performance from SGS2 to GN just on battery? I mean WTF!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berz:
i have no idea what u guys are smoking , but Gnex has been the smoothest android ive used ,and i have friends with SG2 and note on custom roms.

if u want faster animations and according to u u consider that as "Smoothness" just download spare parts and make all transitions and animations super fast.

PS: Im on AOKP milestone2 with franco's kernel with nova launcher .

0 lag or hipcups till now blows my friends GS2 away in fluidity and scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
could be because you used crap ones earlier really, and ive seen not one or few MANY sgs2 being more responsive, faster in moving across screens and much more fluid in experience.

just go and check the number of threads on here where going back using the home screen is jittery for users, and the screen comes with small patches being rendered and then the full page, it is so stupid to see that!!

maybe you're the one smoking here.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

also just go and check quadrant, the GPU rendering performance is so patchy, the FPS is a paltry 10-20 or something

and compare that with SGS2 - thats so clearly flawless!! something like 50-60fps

just go and check on youtube on the comparison video which clearly shows that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
Quadrant isn't optimised for pics yet. Maybe you should download a touchwiz rim for the nexus lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcr33p:
Quadrant isn't optimised for ics yet. Maybe you should download a touchwiz rom for the nexus? lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Totally agree, I have the same config except with the apex kernel and it is close to being like my SGS2. I prefer the physical size of the nexus though. I can't wait for a stable ics build for the SGS2 so I can compare both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Here's my quadrant score running bigxie rom and franco kernel. I'm OCed to 1.35ghz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
thats unbelievable. Did you run quadrant on stock unrooted phone? You cant go beyond 1700 on stock

what are these ROMS doing that is so unbelievably superior to the standard kernel? I dont understand this at all. Its GOOGLE's stock kernel!

"GOOGLE"

and i dont want to abandon it. Its a 530 £ device, and if you were running the race against Apple, you've already lost it if you expect your device owners to fiddle around rooting and flashing with custom ROMS to make it work well enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I am on stock, not rooted, 4.0.2, on Verizon, and i see zero lag. the phone is the fastest i have ever used and looks great.

I cannot compare to the SG 2, since never even seen one in person, but compared to the SG 1 - fascinate, it blows it out of the water.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidstyle:
Quadrant is worthless...I score 3700+ on my sgs fascinate running cm7 w/ glitch v13.1. Running stock 4.0.3 on my sgs fascinate I score right around 2100. bottom line Quadrant is not yet optimized for ICS.

[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
all those people who say Quadrant is worthless - what the heck are you guys talking about? Its a benchmark score, it checks how fast CPU does calculations, and how fast OR smooth your animations work.

HOW THE HECK CAN YOU OPTIMIZE IT FOR ICS? what is that even supposed to mean?

if your display isnt producing enough FPS for an animation, whether you are on ICS or YouSeeA$s it doesnt matter!

The phone is plain and simple slow because of high resolution and slow GPU!! so shut this stupidity up here please or tell me why you say what you say
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
What people mean by not optimized for ics is that a couple of the graphic tests (moon and DNA tests) are being rendered via software instead of the gpu which drags down the score. Most of the custom kernels force 3d hardware rendering all the time which brings up the score.

In addition, Franco's kernel has a bunch of enhancements to improve IO which also improves the quadrant scores.

I find that with a 4.0.3 rom and Franco's kernel, its the fastest phone I've ever owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
ok buddy now you look like the moron. many times over the past years when a new android phone is released, the quadrant app does not always run correctly. often times the moon is missing shades or graphics, and some of the tests dont run correctly. the apk has to be updated to run correctly on the newer builds. sometimes it breaks completely. sometimes the quadrant score will be lower than a 3-year old phone. becausse the developer has to fix the app to play correctly with the new version of the OS.

maybe you need to slow down and take a breath and read up on some things before acting like you know all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
sod benchmarks and the like, completely irrelevant. here's a simple test:

Live wallpapers.

to standardize things, lets test the mighty Microbes live wallpaper. Switching homescreens Buttery smooth on on the SGS2 and galaxy note (which needs to push even more pixels than the Nexus as its 1280x800), but laggy on my Nexus.

And really, you don't need a freaking quad core mali GPU to scroll microbes smoothly.

this leads me to believe that it's not a hardware issue but one related to software and optimizations - the SoC on the Nexus is plenty powerful but samsung somehow managed to optimize the software better for their SGS2/Note - and yes, i believe that once everything is fully optimized for ICS, out beloved nexus will be as smooth (if not smoother) than the SGS2.

Using a third party launcher like nova does make it better. which is sad, in a way.

I find it annoying that google couldnt even optimize their own live wallpapers for their flagship phone, though. Phase beam is the only one that is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trixnrice:
i've been running franco's nightly kernels and aokp custom rom, and it makes a heck of difference in UI smoothness and overall quickness of getting around the phone (opening apps etc.). buttery smooth! i've played with the SgII, skyrocket, and even the gnote. With the custom kernel and rom on my gsm gnex, they all the feel similar, no lag generally speaking, and minus the nasty touchwiz appeal of the skyrocket and note (sgII was rooted and had custom ROM). optimizing the kernel and rom and can do wonders, software is definitely a factor. Its a balance of hardware and software, and if you say otherwise, i pitty your phone.

Below is a benchmark i recently ran, its the second highest of 3. its with the latest updated AnTuTu Benchmark app. Stock Gnex average around 6000. Performance increase? i'd say so, even if its just synthetic benchmark scoring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] versd:
benchmarks dont mean much. i could smoke any of the gnex quadrant scores with my motorola atrix, hitting 5000 on quadrant. the gnex wont hit even close to the same numbers but NORMAL operation, as in day to day use, as a phone, gaming etc, it is smooth as. running high demand games like shogun or whatever is smooth, screen transitions and multitasking all smooth. benchmarking phone is like dyno queen cars.

big numbers on the dyno, but drive them on the track/road, and a decently tuned car with a third of the power and the high power car will be in second place.

its not about pure numbers but the overall experience.
