Hi, I do a stupid OTA update to Android 2.3.6 on my XT910S (Korean version) right after i bought it, not yet rooted.

Now i can NOT root, even with ZergRush v2,v3,v4 :(

Can i go back to 2.3.5 to root? Would anyone help me please?:(

I'm a new user so... sorry for my ignorance :(

Thanks so much!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheProd:
Just flash the fastbootfile of the 2.3.5 version

Root it and back up root with the OTA rootkeeper, update to the 2.3.6 and restore root :)

--> 2.3.6 with root :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomermax:
Use ota rootkeeper before upgrading

Hi again, i have found this file: Blur_Version.65.1.12.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip

But when i put it in RSD Lite, there was an error stopping me...

"Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing."

What do i do now?

Would you please help?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pswin09:
Use EU version, far better than Asian version. As far as I kmown, there is still no asia retail fastboot file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sh4itan:
or just use the search function to locate the Retail.en.EU flash files of 2.3.5 from EternityProject with the own Flash method.

- flash to 2.3.5 (start in fastboot mode and run the fla****-file)

- gain root with zergrush

- load OTA rootkeeper from the market

- "protect" root with rootkeeper app

- OTA to 2.3.6

- restore root via OTA rootkeeper

I have done the same thing i have the USA version with verizon i want to go back to 2.3.5. where is a thred on how to fastboot and were do i get the file.the file i have is this one VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml.zip. Im new with the razr done many sbf on the droid x.

You may not have to go back now...

Warning, I am not rooted YET, but this link seems to suggest that we can now root after the OTA without the Safestrap/bootstrap. Check it out and good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
Just got my phone yesterday and i am really impressed...coming from a HTC Sensation which wasn't too shabby either :D

It's a GSM model (Europe) with 4.0.1, I9250XXKK1, kernel 3.0.1 and build ITL41F.XWKK9

i hear there are OTA updates out there up to 4.0.3 but i can't get them probably because it's not "standard" Google firmware model is it?

i have a couple of questions:

- could i install 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 without rooting or unlocking?

- i'm quite happy with 4.0.1, at least didn't hit any bugs yet (except a few camera FCs after i installed Camera360)....is there anything in the newer ICS versions that's worthed the update?

- I have ADB installed and was used with my HTC...do i need to remove it and install it again? All HTC drivers have been removed from my PC.

- i read it doesn't have Gorilla Glass but some other fortified glass...do you guys recommend a cover/foil for the screen? What's a good one considering the curved glass surface? On my HTC i didn't find a curved screen protector at the time...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeekiz:
1. No 2.0.3 has only been released as a "build it yourself ROM".

2. I'm on 4.0.2 I haven't experienced any problems but on the forums people are suggesting that 4.0.2 introduced some UI lag.

3. Install the Samsung drivers found in the development forum in the root pack

4. I have a dry screen protector that was cut for the entire screen but it won't stick down on the top and bottom of the screen (around 2mm), just look around for a reputable brand, I've tried a cellnet one and the one I have currently is a random one only defined by "Crystal Guard" a random Chinese one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
You'll probably get the 4.0.2 update soon as it's currently rolling out. You won't be able to get 4.0.2/3 without rooting/unlocking. 4.0.2 isn't much different so you're not missing out on much there. 4.0.3 is meant to be a lot faster but that's only a custom rom at the moment, it's not an official OTA.

You don't really need to install ADB unless you plan on rooting and all that stuff.

The fortified glass seems just as good as Gorilla Glass to me, I've had mine a couple of months now without a single scratch (including after dropping it onto the road), I'm not using any kind of screen protector I think they ruin the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
but aren't those OTAs related to that Google vs. Samsung firmware thingy?

i see people changing to "stock" Google firmware hoping they get OTAs directly from Google instead of Samsung (which probably releases later?)

to be honest the only thing right now that i miss is the T9 dialer, which i saw as separate APK around here...i would need to root it for that though....

i played around with the timelapse video function, does anyone know exactly what the time settings do? 1s up to 10s?

i suspect it's the amount of timelapsed seconds "compressed" in a real second? but what would mean that at the "1S" setting it won't be a timelapse since is 1:1 ratio :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Have you checked to see whether you've got yakju or yakjuxw yet? If yakju, you'll get the 4.0.2 OTA soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
I thought the timelapse thing is taking picture every x seconds and making it into a film. 1 minute with 1 sec setting = 60 frames film?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
i assume i'm on the Samsung tree since software update doesn't find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Depends if the update is being pushed to his batch yet, remember they stagger the OTA updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerozoneice:
ok fingerprint says yakjuxw/maguro:4.0.1/ITL41F

are there reports of 4.0.2 OTAs coming over to samsung devices yet? been like a month already since it's on google's right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
It's clear that WIFI is causing quite some debate, some people having issues, some people saying it works fine for them...

But often nothing is mentioned about whether they are on G-only, mixed, N-only. How the tests have been done, where the router is and where they were while testing, etc.

At the moment I own a TF101, TF201 and SGS2 and 2 wireless routers so I am in the position to do some testing but am wondering what the best way is. I know of wifi analyzer and speedtest (the app) but get extremely mixed results with speedtest.

On one run it can tell me I have a 13mbps connection, but 2 measurements later it's 5 or something so not sure if that's the way to do it. But what is? I guess wifi analyzer is fine for general info (signal strength) and it seems the signal strength shown on the TF201 is almost as good as on the TF101/SGS2 (also when 10 meters away from the routers with for example 2 walls in between).

If this thread is unnecessary or something, please close it... Just wanted to get some direction and clear way of testing and measuring to finally get an answer how exactly the TF201 performs.

* General signal info: Wifi Analyzer

* Speed measurement: Speedtest app? How many measurements should one take, is it necessary to close the app after each measurements? Or should I transfer a file to/from my pc to the tablets over wifi or somethign, or use a webbased speedtest (and with or without flash interface?)

Any recommendations/remarks?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>WIFI is causing quite some debate, some people having issues, some people saying it works fine for them...

Wifi performance is highly variable, depending on many factors. People tend to think of wifi as "if it works good for Joe, it should work good for me." That's not how it works. It's not possible to have a standardized wifi test that applies to everyone.

>I know of wifi analyzer and speedtest (the app) but get extremely mixed results with speedtest.

Speedtest introduces the vagaries of the Internet, which increases variability. People use it because it's convenient, but it's better to use something that tests only your LAN. Suggest iPerf for Android. Another simple method is to do a large file copy to get throughput (size / xfer time). Do it 3 times and get avg.

Wifi Analyzer shows routers w/ recognized SSIDs, but it doesn't show other sources of 2.4GHz interference. It's better to just ignore it and run throughput tests for each channel.

There are various caveats for setting up wifi: don't use mixed mode, don't use auto 20/40 for 2.4GHz, don't use TKIP/WPA or WEP, do use WMM, et al. All these reduce wifi speed.

However, the complaint many have is (drastically) reduced speed with respect to increased range. That's usually a reception problem rather than a config problem. It may be fixable with a config change, but more likely, it can't. Testing won't solve this problem. Even if you get good results with testing (via changing some specs), it'd only apply to you and not anyone else.

Suggestions:

. Check for and apply any router firmware update.

. Optimize router config per tips found at various sites.

. Try throughput tests. Change channels and experiment with settings per test findings.

. Try a different (new) router. Many routers mentioned in other threads are old draft-N units that may have compatibility issue with certain devices/drivers, especially in mixed-mode operation.

The last is a quick and simple solution for non-techies. Routers are cheap to replace; not so tablets.

Their is no standard test as we all have different routers! My router is fine with the prime! works great super fast downloads faster than my Evo 4g and my brothers thrive

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
I understand about the variances, I think it's more of a matter of being able to test with multiple devices you own. In that case you can actually compare your TF201 (in this case) and the effects of obstacles/distance on it (again compared to other devices you actually own).

If people say 'well, the TF201 works just as fine as my SGS2' I have no idea what exactly it means... When setting right next to the router? Perhaps the wifi connection is not the bottleneck? etc...

Was more hoping for a good way of simply testing the TF201 performance compared to other devices in my current home situation. But having some sort of set settings might make it possible to compare those results with other people doing the same thing with a number of devices in their home situation :)

About the different routers, sure... But they all have the same general settings.

The idea was not to find a solution, but merely get a proper measurement of the situation and perhaps draw conclusions based on that.

But I'll check the iPerf app and also the simply transferring an x-amount of data. Thanks for the replies so far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>If people say 'well, the TF201 works just as fine as my SGS2' I have no idea what exactly it means...

Most people aren't technical. It's hard enough just to get folks to tell the name of their routers, let alone how it's configured, or any other test parameters. Like the 3rd post in this thread. That's the way it is.

It doesn't matter anyway. As said, how wifi performs on one doesn't relate to the next. The only thing that's relevant is how it performs for you. That means doing your own testing, configuration, etc.

>Was more hoping for a good way of simply testing the TF201 performance compared to other devices in my current home situation.

iPerf will do that. Have one PC connected to router via wired cable to act as server, and do comparative testing.

>About the different routers, sure... But they all have the same general settings.

Different routers have different performance, even with same settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LeCramp:
e.mote is 100% correct in what he writes. I'm not the network/wireless guy at work, but I have been following them around from time to time when people claimed that some of "my" systems didn't work over WiFI..

Wireless is a very imperfect medium. First and foremost 2.4Ghz is shared by too many devices. Most of which you will not pick up with WiFi Analyzer. For example, we had a situation where all wireless communication died in an area around lunchtime every day. After alot of work we found the culprit: one of three microwave ovens used by the staff would flood half the 2.4Ghz channels with noise, effectively jamming them.

Also, wireless is a shared medium. That is, every device connected to your router has to wait its turn to be able to talk. If some of these devices are too far away from each other to "see" the other devices, chances are they will try and send/transmit at the same time. This can also severely distrupt WiFi performance.

There are so many variables when it comes to WiFi that I'm usually amazed it actually works as well as it does. And when it doesn't, it's too easy to point at a single device as the culprit. There is usually many factors at play here. It's damn hard getting any mainstream user to understand this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I agree with e.mote too. There are a couple of YouTube videos floating around comparing a TF1 to the Prime side-by-side. The signal on the Prime seems erratic in comparison. Much like GPS, getting a signal and maintaining it are two different things. I think a lot of people are using the tests e.mote mentioned and calling it good. The throughput test is the only one that tests the sustainability of the signal. Things like web access don't really need a sustained signal to appear to be performing well. Streaming, online gaming, and downloads do. If you're always using your home network and get good results there then Wi-Fi performance probably isn't a big deal for you. It's when you're traveling and using sketchy APs in hotels, restaurants, and airports, that Wi-Fi's really tested. GoGo inlfight is a great test when 100 people are all competing for the same bandwidth in a confined place simultaneously. There can never be agreement on Wi-Fi performance because no two people use Wi-Fi the same way or under the same conditions.

Heyho,

I'm an former iPhone user, and as we all know.. it doesn't support real multitasking..

But it saves much batterylife by freezing procecess of apps...

Now i wanted to ask if there is any app for Android wich can, for example, freeze an app that runs in background for like 5 minutes, unfreeze it and let it check its things, and then freeze again for 5 minute

[TouchPad General] theroar:
Had not been back in Webos since alpha 1.... somehow the 3.0.5 update made me interested in at least having it there, so I went through the steps of updating.

After all the updates from Alpha 1 to Xron, one of my favorite things is how fast we can reboot and get back to work. Tested it this morning and on Xron 2.9.1 it took 45.89 seconds.

Tested with Webos... 1:15.72 seconds.

Only 30 seconds, but man has it always felt longer. Wonder if it is the more interesting boot screens... That glowing HP logo does nothing to entertain. Shoot there were times I thought it was frozen or something.

Lastly... A full wipe and reinstall in cwm takes us about 5 minutes. A webos update has a message that it will last 15 min.

I guess I am trying to say Thanks to our Devs. I am SOOOO glad we have android on our touchpads!
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Android definitely boots faster than WebOS. I find myself just shutting it down when I'm not going to be using it for several hours instead of using sleep mode. I downloaded Quick Boot from the market which allows you to have a shortcut to power off instantly.
[TouchPad General] darkassain:
a chunk of that time is the system fsckig the media partion along with other scripts that setup webos, which means that while webos boots slower android takes a while to start completly if you have the patch that jcullins that reintergrates fsck msdos since the fsck happens after the ui starts

this is also the reason the 16gb boots a tiny bit faster than the 32gb, there is much more space to check...;)

I have updated Samsung Galaxy SII with different Android version and I discover that none of them have support for NFC (near field communication) except the original ROM then I bought the phone.

Now I have Android 4.0.3 ROM I9100OXALP2 (ICS) and it does not have support for NFC, none of 2.3.6 or 2.3.6 all official ROM :confused:.

What do I have to do to have NFC support?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Most of the roms here are for i9100 not i9100P or whatever your phone is, so they do not have NFC support as we dont have the hardware, if you want NFC support your best bet is to flash back the rom that came with your phone.
