[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It is 3.5G but it's marketed as "4G."

Galaxy S2 can reach up to speeds of 21Mbps. BUT the T-Mobile version can reach up to speeds (theoretically) of 42Mbps because it uses a Snapdragon instead of Exynos.

GN reaches 21Mbps. Not 2-9. These speeds are all theoretically speaking as we weren't talking about "real speeds in real time."

Don't understand why you quoted me and reverted everything I said when everything I have said about about Galaxy S2 is a fact.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
I agree. I don't understand who would be rushing to import a non-subsidized GSM Galaxy Nexus and not plan on immediately rooting it. The Verizon phones, ok, someone walked in and walked out with the "latest Android phone". Still, the vast majority of the nexus owners, especially anyone who visits xda-developers.com will be rooting and flashing if not true "you need a 12 step program" crack-flashing. :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavrek:
Im sure this has come up before but here goes... Logitech has a Harmony LInk which is, for lack of a better description, pretty bad-ass... The software for the Android Phones (2.2x+) is mediocre at best. Also the Link does not support 3.0+ for Tablets yet...

Since the technology is THERE can we write custom app software to interface w/ this thing instead of waiting for Logitech to come out with something??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
Just reviving this as I'm interested as well. I can develop the app, but I was wondering if anyone is working on it. I'm not a wiz at the embedded OS stuff so if there's a reverse engineered os for the Harmony Link or a way to iptables forward myharmony.com to a local custom server that improves it I'm all for it.

Personally I'm fine with the app functions. I'd just want to rewrite it so that A) it remembers my link so that it's not having to reconnect all the time and B) Holoizing it.

Seriously, the wife asks me to mute the tv and it takes a good 15 seconds for the app to connect. I'd like to turn it into a service that always stays connected with an exit button.

Logitech Harmony Link Mods

I received my Harmony Link Thursday and downloaded the app, I think it's 1.6.5 now.

It works fine on Kit Kat and 4.0. I'm running it on two tablets and my Nexus 4.

I wasn't happy with the GUI so I decompiled it and I've been improving it. My main issue is the small number of icons on each page. The favorite channel page is three across by four down. Mine now shoes five across, six is a bit crowded and who has more than 24 favorites anyway.

I'm trying to increase the button count on the remote page since it's also 3x4, NOT enough buttons for me. I haven't figure out where the program stores this layout yet, but I'm working on it.

I can share the apk file if anyone needs it, send me a PM.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Hi everyone,

I will be upgrading in late Feb. The options are: another s2 or Note.

Love my s2 (rooted with Illusion-xT v1.4.2 - XWKL1 2.3.6) , played a bit with Note and its size is not a problem for me.

I really have no time to go through the forum to find my answers.

I'd like to know:

- the battery life compared to s2

- does Note do everything that s2 does?

- call recording quality pls, does anyone use Total Recall?

- application compatibility with s2

- overall performance compared to s2

- your experience if you are owning both s2 and Note

- TV out - like in s2?

Thanks a lot guys!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
About roughly the same, the 250mAH is to feed the huge screen. I get the same video playback time of 9hrs on the S2 and on the Note. Gaming might suffer since it needs to compute for more pixels.

No issues, Andriod apps mostly scale to the screen and if they dont developers fix then quite fast.

The Galaxy Note is different device but is an upgrade for the Galaxy S2 in a way.

Some say the note lags/UI stutters more than the Galaxy S2.. this is only true when you use the pinch to view the home screen or the app drawer which is a TW issue, anything other than that the Note does things FASTER than the S2 which is expected as it is a better device even under the hood.

I find it difficult to now use a phone with anything less than 5.3" of a screen, this is one major drawback once you get attached to the Galaxy note.

Altho both phones are not with out its issues, faces similar issues on both ends though :(

You havent asked this but the GPS on the Gnote is amazing, you can even get a signal lock indoors all of this due to the GLONASS that it has, but its not that accurate as compared to dedicated GPS devices yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Thank you EarlZ

Yes I ve forgotten to ask about GPS as I am gonna use my Copilot and Sygic very often.

What about TV-out - the same as s2?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkShot666:
Howdy.

Typed up a quick compairison between the two if you wanna take a moment to read it here.

One thing that I didn't mention in that post is TV out, and it's exactly the same as you would do so on a GSII; plug in an MHL adapter.

I personally haven't used GPS on the phone enough to count, but everyone else who has, has said it's the best they've used thus far. Much better than a GSII

If you go for it, you'll love it.

And hey! If you're not satisfied with it, go ahead and sell it and use those funds for either a new GSII or, when the time comes, put it towards it's successor.

But I doubt you'll want to once you get your hands on this baby ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:

Just took a quick peek at your post and I noticed you mention at 25% there is no issue viewing it under direct sunlight? I even have issues with the S2 or the note at 100% brightness under direct sunlight well ofcourse this varies how bright the sun is shining though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkShot666:
I've personally never noticed any issues. It could very well be that any light that I was under wasn't 100% dead on, but my Note screen is always one of two brightness levels: 25% and 0%. I've never had a need to crank it any more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senectus:
Are you a big guy? (ie 6" + ?)

Then get the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Used on both. More or less the same, yes.

For both devices, however, the system UI outputs at native resolution. So when you're web browsing or just going through menus and such, the S2 is at 800x480, the Note is 1280x800; noticeable difference.

I will say though, that the Note does seem to slow down quite a bit when hooked up to the TV for moving about the UI or playing games and such (mainly because, not only does it have to render 3x as many pixels already, but now it's doing it twice over(!!!), it's quite a burden, and it shows.

That said, it's still (mostly) functional, and when using it for video output (even full 1080p), it is flawless there.

P.S. I'm selling my international GS2 if you're interested. Send me a PM :)

Well, the only reason I say anything is that it's fairly easy to mistake a SGS2 with a SGS2 E4GT for kernels and you could mess up your phone. So if it's common place to say ET4G where there is already something called the Epic Touch (without the 4G), there might be confusion. I'm just trying to help out and ask why people might be switching them around.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] penderperson:
Personally after getting my feet fully into android with this being my first android phone, i think its a good differentiation from other carriers' models of the SGSII. Its much easier to search for Epic Touch, E4GT, ET4G, etc than the other models. I can definitely see where confusion would come from downloading the wrong modem, kernal, etc but I bet it will be worse with the longer names as they try to top this device. Those long names can be truncated, especially when viewing them on the phone.

Hello :)

Does anyone know if the Droid RAZR microSD slot supports SDIO cards? This would be important if we want to use for example NFC microSD cards for Google Wallet.

From the Chip Block Diagram of the OMAP4430 it is not clear to me if the SDIO always connected to a microSD slot or if it might be that "only" SD storage cards are possible without any IO functions.

Any input on this is highly appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this.

First, the problem I'm having with my LTE Nexus is that I will have a great signal (4 4G blue bars) and then data just stops working. Shortly after, the 4G symbol and the bars disappear entirely and I'm left with a solid gray triangle (no data connection).

I have the logcat output but don't know how to find the entries that correlate to this data drop. I'm hoping someone in here will be able to help go through the logcat. Unfortunately, with the logcat I captured, I forgot to use -v time so I couldn't correlate to the screenshot I took (to remember the time of the drop). I'll try to do that. But if someone can look over the logcat I do have, I'd appreciate it. Attached is the logcat. I had at least 4-5 of these data drops which should be reflected in the log somewhere...

More details about the problem here:

- this happened for me while driving but ALSO when I was just walking to my car, so initially I thought it might be when it tower hops, but I don't think so

- When this happens, often I have four full bars of 4G. I'll try to browse or go to the market, etc and I'll get the "no connection" error. But it doesn't seem to be signal level related or I would expect it to happen only when I had like 1 bar. Then again, if the bars don't update that often, I suppose it's possible I'm dropping from 4 bars to 0 really fast for some reason.

- Shortly after that, the 4G symbol and bars disappear and I am left with a solid gray triangle. No data connection works while this triangle is there

- About 30 seconds to a minute later, I'll get the gray bars, then shortly thereafter 4G and then blue 4G+bars.

- Every time this has happened I have been in a seemingly good 4G area. It never even tries to go to 3G. It just goes 4G -> drop/nada -> 4G. But it does do it frequently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
Ok, I collected a logcat after this data drop had occurred twice. I think I may have only caught one occurrence of it, but this message in particular looks suspicious:

01-12 12:11:09.375 D/GSM ( 375): [GsmDCT] disableApnType:fota

What is fota and why is it causing the radios to disconnect? From a little googling, fota sounds like firmware over the air.

The logcat data was bogus because I think they had rotated. I'm going to have to capture it again when it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
Caught a logcat/dmesg of the LTE radio crash

Well, the bad news is it still happened again so the data roaming didn't fix it (I was surprised if it would, but it did go a while without doing it again).

I caught it on logcat. I think this is the start of the "crash" of the radio (for lack of a better word at the moment):

I then looked at the dmesg and found roughly the same corresponding timestamp there, and bingo:

It looks to me like some sort of hardware/watchdog timeout on the LTE radio device. I.e., I think it's a hardware problem. Or could a bad SIM card theoretically trigger something like this? I would have expected some sort of Icc or SIM message from the kernel (in dmesg) if that were the case, though.

This has pretty much convinced me it's an LTE radio hardware problem, but I am going to let my logcat run over night and see if I catch any more of these. If I do, I'll try CDMA only to see if it's just the LTE radio or some sort of handoff thing.

Does anyone have any reason to believe this is a software thing or a SIM card issue? Or do I have a Nexus with a dud LTE radio? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
VZW says this is "normal"

I drove to the Verizon store where I noticed this dropping happening 3-4 times before, and sure enough it did it twice on my way.

The two VZW CSRs there said it's "normal for 4G phones" in this area. Their 4G coverage map shows this is a good area (not near "extended 4G"), so are they just blowing smoke up my ass?

In every case this happens, I see a message like this:

It's not always prefaced by this message, but was in 3 of the 4 cases:

It looks to me like the radio is crapping itself and some kind of watchdog is kicking in. What is this silent restart stuff about? I also see this message corresponding to the drops:

Bad hardware

It was a bad radio in those two Nexuses. This one I have now has not had the data/voice drop plague that the last two had. Unfortunately, it has the purple tint and banding, so hopefully when I swap it out (again :rolleyes:) I'll get one with a functioning radio and a good screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
Well, after swapping the one I had that wasn't doing this data+voice drop, this one (also manufactured 12/23) has the same radio dropping problem. :( I hope it's software, but I went almost a week with the last one and I only saw that message in logcat once. This phone did it 2 times today, but none prior to that in ~24 hours. hmm...
