[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
Hey guys I'm just wondering what sort of led/technology the Galaxy Nexus uses for its main LED on the back.

I've upgraded to this phone from the Desire HD and the Rear LED is no comparison the Desire HD's LED was great, but compared to the nexus' LED its dim and yellowish.

When having both phones side by side in 'torch' mode the gnex looks so much brighter.

When the LED is on it almost looks like it has a blueish hue at certain angles.

After all that I was just wondering what type of hardware the gnex LED uses :)

Thanks in advance guys.

Probably would have to have ask google, or even better samsung for that. I bet you could narrow down your search seeing which companies supply leds for phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilium007:
Hi - I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.3 ICS and decided to connect up to my work Exchange server. They enforce a security policy that requires the phone to be encrypted. I ran the hour long encryption process and it all runs fine. Now I want to remove work email and do a factory reset. This is where I run into problems.

I run the gui factory reset, the phone reboots but never resets. I boot into recovery mode and attempt the reset but it can't mount /sdcard so the reset doesn't happen.

Any ideas to assist would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilium007:
OK, so after an entire day at work (!!) I managed to work out that I needed to blow away my /data/media (/sdcard on Galaxy Nexus) partition which was encrypted and recreate. That was no mean feat ! But now I am well versed in the use of ADB and Fastboot !

So I managed to push up the 'parted' tool to remove and create my partition 12. I then recreated it and converted to ext3 then ext4. So now I have a working phone again and will not be encrypting it again !

The problem I have is that I can not remember the original partition size. What I have recreated is shown below.

[Xoom General] thechainrule:
Curious if this would work with a xoom. I want to use my xoom as the source for audio that goes from usb to optical.

I am a N00B so I can't post links yet but this is it.

Behringer UCA202 2-In/2-Out USB Audio Interface S/PDIF Out

Highlights

Ultra-low latency

Audio interface connects instruments, mixer, etc. with a computer for recording and playback

High-resolution 48 kHz converters for premium audio quality

Works with PC or Mac—no setup or drivers required

Free audio recording and editing software downloadable at

Stereo headphone output with dedicated level control for monitoring both input and output

Additional S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion
[Xoom General] joshndroid:
It would depend on whether the Xoom can relay sound to the usb port.. if other USB devices can receive sound from the xoom like a dock or something you may just have a chance if that device indeed doesn't require drivers.. this is just my own opinion
[Xoom General] mradlauer:
Android will need standard ASIO, WDM or Core audio drivers for this device to work.

The audio industry standardized the driver requirements a few years back. ASIO works in linux so with some work, it would probably work in android.
[Xoom General] thechainrule:
Interesting. The xoom does output sound via usb when in the dock. So I need to find a usb sound card that has asio hardware?
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
UPDATE: New information found/needs finding

Dell Venue Pro fw - XDA wiki

Introduction:

I dont own a VP but I do own/have access to every other 2nd gen dell device (2nd gen as by from dell, not the cpus of course)

The VP is the only one I have no info on, and it's also the only wp7 device in the entire lineup.

I've also never used an actual wp7 device, closest I've come is the html5 demo they published earlier.

What I'm interested in:

The version numbers from about/version screen or whatever it's called for officially updated devices. I know you can manually/force update the OS itself but that's not what I'm interested in.

What to report:

OS Version:
Carrier:
Firmware version:
Radio version:
Bootloader version:

I've already got a few common versions listed, dell uses mostly the same type of versioning scheme as they do for android.

'Carrier' should be what your phone reports and not what your actual carrier is.

Facts:

0xx - Prototype roms(?) (though there's many wp7 launch ones that had this, esp bought from the MS stores)

1xx - Early WP7

2xx - Pre-NoDo(?)/NoDo and newer

The bootloader seems to be unchanged from launch, and the baseband has a single update, possibly during the 1xx -> 2xx changeover.

xxxx.15xx.xxxx.xxx -> 2.2.50.15

xxxx.18xx.xxxx.xxx -> 2.2.50.18

doesnt seem like a coincidence.

These are of course for the firmwares themselves, and not the main OS. From what I've read the OS itself is somewhat independent of the firmware bundle.

The main reason that all devices arnt immediately updated is due to the manu confirming their firmware works/possibly needs updates(?)

Released OS/firmware bundles have been tested, you can force update the OS and hope it works with the already installed firmware(?)

[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Unlocking it changes the displayed code now?

I assumed it remained the same as on the venue the code determines the available features (ie mainly if tethering is enabled or not, though the vp does not have working tethering by default regardless(?) )

On the venue unlocking has no visble effect except for the fact you can insert a foreign sim card. I'm assuming a locked to unlocked att one would still display att?

I'm going to go on a limb and assume that ALL vps have the same bootloader, i've yet to see one that isnt 7.27.1.0 from fw vers 029 to 219

Wetherx: as unlike the android dell's there's no way for me to check the update paths of the various combinations, are you intentionally on 7720 and not 7740 or has it not offered the upgrade for you?

If it were the venue I could check by navigating over to:

http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GTOUB1A132500

as 325 is the latest 00/retail rom for the it.

Such a concept doesnt exist in wp7. You would need to check on the device or in zune(?)
[Venue Pro General] weatherx:
SIM unlock does not change carrier code. i'm using a tmo-us dvp on at&t, btw.

i never got the 7740 update prompt. as sad as it sounds, windows phone updates are handled by carrier, not mfr. as of now, phones need to be connected to zune via usb to check for updates.

[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Apparently, the VP also has a hidden version string like all other 2/3rd gen Dell devices,

my new VP is: GLEOS2A421933_S

LEO is the qisda codename

2A4 is the submodel

219 is the FW version

33 is the tmo region

_S is AWS?

Dell Update Process

Contains information if anyone is actually interested.

If any other users could report in their version string i'd be interested.

I'm aware of dell having to recall VP launch models because of bad wifi, I wonder if all VPs are 2A4 devices.

The normal process is that submodel numbers never change unless they are hardware changes (ie the Streak 7 is the only one that has currently has multiple submodels because they physically contain different modem models for each region, others like the Streak 5 have the same modem, they only have different amps for each region/cell band groupings)

If it were the Venue, it would be

-AWS

-US

on the end of the version string to determine the 3g varient, my VP is "_S"

I wonder what a US model would be, and if EU AWS models are the same

I'm guessing from previous knowledge:

00: US-generic unlocked VPs?

20: EU-generic unlocked VPs?

30: US-generic unlocked VPs?

31: At&t locked/branded VPs?

33: Tmo locked/branded VPs (I can confirm this one)

An equivilent Venue rom of age and type would be thus:

GTOUB1A132500-US

TOU is the qisda codename (toucan)

1A1 is the submodel (all V's are 1A1)

325 is the rom version (a 2.2.2 rom)

00 is the region (unbranded/retail)

-US is the cell varient (ie at&t bands UMTS850/1900)

If anyone is willing to go into the EM app and check it's a very simple thing to do:

Open the dialer

Type "##634#" (without the quotes)

Select Phone Information

The "SW version" string contains what I'm interested in

FW Version

OEM Version (or rather it's equivilent from android to WP7)

Carrier version

Afterwards the EM app may appear in your app list, it was always on your device but was merely hidden. I would not recommend removing it.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
mine DVP too has the same version. mine is a unlocked DVP TMO-US

so under security it shows Unlock

Ah so it might be the lock code and not simply the carrier version.

One or two guys on here have mentioned it already, but if any of you are wondering about which one to get, i cannot comment on any of the others, but reallook is pretty decent.

I can't apply screen protectors to save my life, but I went to a wireless store, and had one of the guys do it for me. And it came out pretty good.

It's well made enough to where you can't even tell you have a screen protector on it. But it is a fingerprint magnet.

But still really well made, and possibly the best screen protector for the note?

And a good bonus is that they give you 2 screen protectors, and even screen protectors for the camera lens (4 total!!)

Hope this helps some people that are looking for a screen protector.

Also, the protectors are absolutely clear imo, so if you're looking for some sort of shaded protectors, this is not it.

And you MUST figure out which is the sticky side, (it's actually the second tab which is sticky, which really threw me off)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tomdroid:
Got this one too, basically because 2 cost less than one Steinheil and people reported it not to have the rainbow effect (RGB glittering from adhesive like e.g. the Zagg ones).

+

It's absolutely clear.

No rainbow/glittering.

It's extremely precisely cut.

It sticks rock solid.

It's comparatively inexpensive.

-

It's the worst fingerprint magnet ever.

Cleaning away fingerprints is a pain, this must be some special oleophilic coating.

Fitting it on took forever, easily 10 trials, 1 hour and I still could not get it to stay 100% flat. Right now there's a small area (2x2mm) next to the home button that's not sticking. I left it like that because the other 9 times it'd be flying on any one corner no matter what.

Tiny and not so tiny scratches after only 2 weeks AND the Samsung Flip Cover...

I would not recommend this. Installing it is a real pain and seeing how maintenance (cleaning) time drastically increases while durability is to be questioned (scratches), it seems like a waste of time and money.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] daddymatt:
I installed my real look perfect the first time... I do own a wireless shop though and do it all the time. My point is that the difficult install is not relevant to the quality of the product, it has to do with experience. If you messed up this one you will probably would have messed up any other brand as well. IV used real look for a while and yes its a fingerprint magnet (like most other "crystal" protectors), and yes it scratches (that is the point to scratch these and not the beloved phone) but I believe it to be as high a quality product as any you would pay 2 or 3X the price for... that's why I use it! :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tomdroid:
I may not have the experience you do but this wasn't the first screen protector I have put on a device, must've done this nearly a dozen times. The other protectors ranged from dirt cheap (read: free with other accessory) to quite expensive (Invisible Shield). None were this tricky to attach and besides this one there was only the PSP with it's notorious raised edge one one side of the screen where I/the foil failed to achieve a perfect on-surface attachment.

As for the scratches, of course what you say is the point. But a decent quality foil should certainly not get scratches this fast with additional protection (flip cover) over it. For comparison, my PSP's $3 foil served some 2 years of almost daily carrying the device in messenger bags with no additional protection and to this day has barely any scratches.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DPMAce:
One thing I forgot to mention is the costumer service at Reallook is incredibly good. Any questions or complaints I had, the guys there tried there hardest to kiss my ass.

It is a shame though that the protector is SUCH a finger print magnet. But some other guy on here said that these protectors are thicker than the SGP. If this is true, then maybe Realook is worth it just by the fact that it offers superior protection. I bought a nice screen protector to protect my $700 phone, it better damn well do it.

The biggest advantage to buying realook is the back camera screen protector that comes with it.

And again, read the instructions if you do get this one. Tab 1 is supposed to be pealed off first, but it's actually the non-sticky side.

If anyone finds a better protector that offers more protection, please post it on here so I can try it out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] daddymatt:
In no way am I trying to argue but just want to point out that invisible shield and the cheap junk that come with cases are totally different therefore comparing apple to oranges. I can assure you that there is zero difference between installing a real look and an sgp, etc. These are equally as difficult as the ultimate ____ crystal whatever that people pay $40 for and absolutely no difference. Of course there are some with oil coatings that would keep the fingerprints away but yet again, apples to oranges. My one and only point is that the real look clear and the sgp ultimate crystal, and any other multi-layered hard screen protector are all equally difficult to align and install perfectly... it simply is a tough job to get it perfect in one (or four) tries. That being said, I WILL NEVER PUT THAT DISTORTING ZAGG JUNK ON MY DEVICE AGAIN! I'd buy 10 of these before having orange Peel effect... my eyes have been opened! Lol!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] woodyear99:
I got the realook on my note and agree with the op. I used it in conjunction with a tpu case for decent protection. Can't really see much scratches after a few weeks and definitely prefer it to zagg shields I used in the past.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
I am not yet a developer, so I want some input on whether this can be done. I have really crappy 3g speeds here, so I updated to a verizon PRL. Speeds are much better. But being an AOSP fan, I can't change the PRL to try out new ones without nandroiding, flashing, testing, and restoring.

So... I am wondering if it is possible to make a flashable zip file that contains the PRL and a file to direct it to where it goes. Or maybe doing it via ADB. Is this possible?

Any input?
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It has to be done thru epst and recovery doesn't normally touch the places that the prls and radios and such are stored which is why the prl doesn't change when you flash a rom, so I don't think building a flashable file for prl changes would be easily done

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryjt85:
hello …... can i ask some noob questions ….. cause this thread one of the best and most organized one’s ….i’m not expert in modifying android …. but i need to root my device because some apps won’t work without it …......

i read a lot about the root thing and it was confusing ..

so i downloaded the aahk kit and read the Effen Manual ( i found that you really hate those who start the process without reading the instructions > so i did my homework and studied the manual ))))

but still have some question that need to be answered before i start …

my device is not rooted before ….i bought with the original OS and updated to GB after one day .. and couple weaks ago i recieved the new 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 .. OTA.......

i understood that the root thing doesn’t erase any data in your device (contacts, music, pics,or apps ))......but when i read the effen manual i found this in (imported version notes ) If you are running one of the following Sense 3 build versions a full downgrade is required, which means your data WILL be lost ….

one of them is : HTC Arabic 3.13.415.2 downgrades to HTC ARABIC GB 2.42.415.1

my version ….. is 3.13.415.2

(1) so that mean i will lose everything ????

(2) after downgrade to GB2.42.415.1 and finishing the root …. what version will i have the 2.42.415.1 or the 3.13.415.2........

(3) will the android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 remain without change or will it change to previous version ….

(4) at last … if i want to return the device back to the original condition can i ?? if yes it will return to 3.13.415.2 a previous one >>> and it will return to android 3.3.5 with sense 3.0 or previous one …...and if it will return to a previous one will i be able to update it to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 through the regular way ( through setting>about phone>software updates ) or will i have to do it manually …...

one more thing if used unofficial rom (cayoon …. etc ) then decided to return to my original rom ...can i ???

sorry to bother you with my noob questions ...but i will be more than pleased if you helped me out …. cause i really found your thread pretty use full , organized and cleared …
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_makulit:
AFAIK, there is no way to root firmware 3.13 (correct me if I'm wrong). In order to root it, you must downgrade your device in a lower version that has the root exploit.

To answer your questions:

(1) so that mean i will lose everything ???? - Yes since you are downgrading your device, all data will be erased.

(2) after downgrade to GB2.42.415.1 and finishing the root …. what version will i have the 2.42.415.1 or the 3.13.415.2........ - It will be 2.42.415.1 since you downgrade your device to this version.

(3) will the android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 remain without change or will it change to previous version …. - It will be changed the version which firmware 2.42.415.1 has. If you want to get Sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 again, you will then have to flash a new ROM on your device that has Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5

(4) if you want to go back to stock after rooting, you can download a RUU with the build/firmware number you want to go back with then flash it on your phone then everything will be back on stock.
