I was wondering, will this get updated for ICS ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ril z:
how to make network mode work? i tap on it n nothing happens. i'm currently on nero ICS v1.

thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tyrigi:
It's bugged on v1, you need to w8 ICS v2. for fix it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ril z:
that explains SystemUI force close everytime i toggle gps n launch maps. so i flashed statusbar widget from hansip87 n now network mode is working. it still force close n time in status bar only shows 12 hour format, but great news is that now it has reboot toggle in status bar.

Hello i have looked everywhere but didnt find any information.

Is it possible to dual boot a Android on a Samsung Armani b7620.
[General Questions and Answers] MoonMaster33:
I have looked through the threads in this section already and have found nothing up to date about phone upgrades. I've had a DX for some time now and its time to upgrade. I've been happy with it and its a great phone. I love having the ability to install roms and such on it. So my question is what's the best phone to upgrade to on VZW. I would just like a stable phone with the ability to some day install CM9. Preferably one with a dul-core and an unlocked bootloader. But I've lived with a locked bootloader before, I can do it ounce more lol. I just waned your input on what to get.

Thank You,

Theovlit

Hello

I cant decide between sgs2(400€) and nexus s (250€)

Do you think this phone has still potential? or does it worth to buy this phone?

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdeath09:
Is worth it. I mean the /system has 512mb just like the SGS II, the cache is 512mb aswell, the VM HeapSize is around 120mb, /data is 1gb, internal memory is 13gb. The camera does some nice shots (I find the macro photos pretty good), the Video Rec is pleasant enough, the browser is pretty great, the reception aswell, amazing sound quality, the display (the SAMOLED and the SC-LCD) is good, the design is quite pleasant, is made by Google (probably more updates), the bootloader is unlockable (the S2 has also athe bootloader unlocked), the RAM is sufficient just as the CPU and the GPU. But as I own both phones I gotta say that the SII is a hell of a beast. The performance is better, the camera is better, the CPU and GPU is better so in the end is your decision. The Nexus S still has something to give and is probably a long long way from it's grave. So yeah it's worth it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Pretty much exactly as said. All the features are great on this phone, though most are done a bit better on the sgs2. The nexus is based on the sgs1 after all. The nexus is, however, far sexier.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBigWaffles:
SGSII no contest.

You want a phone that's going to last you the next few years. The Nexus S is nearing it's death (the single core thing is killing me here) :S

Linky

Do we even have networks good enough to transfer near-adsl2+ speeds with a mobile coverage/audience? For the lifetime of either the sgs2 or nexus s i wouldn't see the max speed as much of a negative.

For anything bar high-end use the single core on the nexus is easily capable. No doubt the sgs2 is a beast though, and it's easy to tell the difference in almost any situation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
Nexus S

Depends on carrier. Although gs2 has superior hw, looks like development for for tmobile sgs2 is already starting to die out. Perhaps that will change as soon as ics drops but, unlike some, I really dig the constant activity found in nexus communities. After experience with gs1, I don't think will ever buy another non-nexus phone.

Same here with the single core thing.

If I can buy the SII I'll go for it.

Though I'm still satisfied with my NS since I bought it last April.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haerwu:
If I would have to choose today I would rather go to SGS2 then Nexus S which I bought year ago. It is faster, not so fragile (my phone has scratches on screen).

But I do not remember how well SGS2 is supported by custom builds - this is where Nexus S shines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarusdg:
I don't plan on using any custom roms. I have a gsm nexus so hotspot is free. I dont plan on overclocking. Are their any other advantages of rooting. Ive been out of the rooting game since the mytouch 3g and didnt feel the need to root the Nexus 1, or S. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
Kernels that make the phone run faster without overclocking(ex. disabling debugging) and save power(ex. shutting down one of the processors when the screen is off)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You can also remove apps you don't wanna use so you can clean things up. That's my main reason

Can be phone locked back to keep in warranty if ptoblems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
yep can be reverted to the exact state of when you first got your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuntdog:
This wouldn't appeal to everyone and hasn't been mentioned - rooting could allow you to cheat at games and get extra "bucks, points, etc.".

IMO biggest advantages to root include backing-up/restoring apps with Titanium, custom kernels, and removing unneeded apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
backing up / restoring game data and make easy game saves transferrable to my tablet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Could you please give some URLs how to do that (disabling debugging, shutdown one core etc.)?

Or is this available only in custom ROMs? If yes, could you please give some examples of ROMs which have such features.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Shutting off 1 core = Franco Kernel 'hotplug' feature.

Those are features of a custom kernel. For franco kernel, you need a 4.0.3 ROM such as AOKP.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Did you install a different kernel too? Did you make a backup before flashing new rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyrax_07:
kernel i did not, is stock,and yes i did a back up before flashing new rom.i cant find any info or related problems not sure why this happened
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Could have been an app you installed preventing it from booting properly, try to make a nandroid of your current rom then restore back to your original rom and let us know if it boots. If it does, it's most likely something on your rom. If it still doesn't boot that's more of a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Did you properly wipe, did you install a rom, you have to tell more information then just saying it wont boot could be anything why it wont boot answer what you did before you got to the point you are in now and then we can help.

What's the best way to clean the NT screen? I keep getting fingerprints/smudges, but I'm not sure what's safe to use... Any experiences would be awesome.

Also, I just read that putting rain-x on the screen makes it keep fingerprints off? Seems kind of weird, but anyone try this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Some sort of cloth based material, not paper, preferably micro-fiber.

If that isn't enough on its own, use a small amount of a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar put on the cloth and wipe the screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
I personally use a 50/50 mix of di water and methanol. Spray a slight amount onto a clean micro-fiber towel and wipe. I use this method on all my lcd screens. Di water is better than tap due to low mineral content. I work in the semicondutor industry so I have all the di that I need.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
Yea, sorry, I should have specified di (distilled) water when mentioning it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 1000cleverlines:
I have some laptop screen cleaner that's like a blue spray gel...will that work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DaveRush:
Fyi, DI water != distilled water. DI = deionized, whereas distilled is just condensed steam.

For this purpose, distilled ought to be expensive enough. :)

DI water, on the other hand, was upwards of $50/gallon last time I was lucky enough to need to flush my laser's cooling system.

HTH.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blawens:
I bought a 50 Pack of lens cleaners (the ones in individual packets) from WalMart for less than $3.00.

Rain-X huh? might try it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
Nice thing about working in a clean room I have a endless supply of DI (yes di-ionized) water. I didn't realize that it was so expensive to buy. Maybe I need to start smuggling some out and selling it on ebay. lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
T-shirt and some spit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nookd:
This works for me every time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bobcat001:
I prefer to use a damp tissue, but B&N says not to use moisture when cleaning the screen.

I purchased the official B&N anti-glare screen protector for $20 (eek!). I got it mainly because my daughter somehow manages to get food and who-knows-what-else on the screen. B&N says not to use moisture when cleaning the screen, but that's the only way to get the crud off. So, I got the B&N protector.

Anyway, despite comments online about people destroying both sheets in the process of installing them, I installed mine without any problems. First I made sure the screen was completely clean with absolutely no dust on it. Then I peeled back just an inch or so of the removable film, pushed the top edge of the sheet to where the case meets the screen, then slowly peeled back more as I pushed the sheet onto the screen, by bending the sheet as I worked my way down the screen. No air bubbles. No dust. No dirt. It's perfect and it looks like it will last forever.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roland0fgilead:
I use Monster ScreenClean and a microfiber cloth to clean all my electronics. A big bottle is about $12 at Walmart. It's the only Monster product I'm willing to buy.

+1 on the baby wipes. Especially the costco ones. Make sure they're not the adult all purpose wipes that are kinda soapy. Works wonders with all marks and grease and no damage to the screen/tv/monitor etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fr3dw0rth:
I used a cleaning cloth that is made for cleaning eyeglasses. Worked wonderful!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pezaremba:
I also used a cleaning cloth (microfiber) designed for eyeglasses. Then I immediately installed an anti glare, anti smudge screen protector I bought from Amazon for $9. Haven't had any glare or smudge problems since then.

I can't recall the policy about linking to/recommending products... so I won't.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TRS-80:
Yeah, I just usually use my shirt. Without the spit though. Cotton T-shirt works best.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bridge66:
I too use the Monster Screen Clean with the microfiber cloth that came with it. Just one squirt on the cloth (it's barely damp) and the smudges wipe away very easily. I keep another, thinner, microfiber cloth behind the NT (sandwiched with the case), and use it for cleaning on the go.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tim_m99:
As long as there is only general finger marks (ie oil), then I found breathing heavily to fog up the screen then wiping over with a soft tissue or micro fibre cloth or clean t-shirt does wonders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Did Google make a BIG MISTAKE by putting a weak GPU in a phone with 720p Display?

I love this live wallpaper, but it makes the UI lag horribly!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tokyopop.wallpaper.panda.free

However, it's smooth on the Nexus S.

It's not a complex live wallpaper, it barely moves at all, yet the GN can't handle it?

When I first read that Google decided to use a 2-3yr old GPU in the Nexus, I thought, okay, it might be alright if the OS is optimized to use it, but now it seems like Google made a HUGE MISTAKE and should've gone with the most powerful and current GPU available.

Why do companies do this??!

Even Google employees admit, in their G+ blogs that the GN has A LOT OF PIXELS to push! So, knowing that, what did they use a weak ass GPU??

I love my phone but I wished Google would stop f'ckng up like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holmes6:
I suspect you are jumping to conclusions when you blame the hardware for this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tu3218:
I just downloaded it for the hell of it and it ran just fine on mine. I am using NOVA launcher but I don't seem to have any problems with it. Try NOVA launcher and see if you get the same lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Not all the Live Wallpapers are enabled for hardware acceleration so become laggy - it's not Google's fault, it's the dev of the wallpaper for not enabling it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
There are only two GPUs better, Mali-400 (SGS2) and 543 (iPhone 4S) so I think you should read more tech stuff before call it weak.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xisaacbx:
Don't really think its the gpu. I run games that are very 3d heavy with little to no lag at all. I think I read somewhere that some live wall papers are not optimized for ics just yet. Hence why the ones that come with the gnex (phase beam) have no lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holmes6:
Of course it makes sense. Those of us with slow computers/gpu can always get some extra FPS in games by lowering the resolution. Fewer pixels = less work.

From what someone else said above, it appears the developer of this particular wallpaper may not have enabled hardware acceleration. If that's the case, the specifics of the GPU are not even related to this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelteixeira:
Oh, and just a side note. It's not the "same" from three years ago. The chipset used before was 4430 and now 4460, working on 384Mhz.

I strongly suggest you to read this:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
But, it makes you wonder, if Google KNEW that it takes a more powerful CPU/GPU to push 2.4x more pixels, why did not use the latest CPU/GPU's available to them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Title of thread says gpu. However now you are talking about cpu (with what you quoted).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Samsung might have a winner with Exynos, but for whatever reason, they do not work with high speed radios. This includes Tmobile's high speed network (The 42mbps one) and Verizon's LTE.

So, who do you blame? Google? Nah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
Could Samsung have equipped the GSM Galaxy Nexus with Exynos 4210? YES.

Would the Exynos support LTE? NO.

Will Verizon be the #1 customer of the Galaxy Nexus? YES.

Therefore, was it cheaper to use one base hardware configuration that can accept both HSPA+ and LTE-enabled radios? YES.

Now you know why the SGN uses OMAP4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuner520:
GPU is good

just think of it like car names, same name different model year

new improvements, knowledge, manufacturing process, and material technology

That said, everything perfectly smooth with Panda Wallpaper on 4.0.3 w/ 384mhz GPU.

You'll either have to wait for the official 4.0.3 (or better) release or flash custom rom or.... different phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stere0xide:
I think with the Galaxy Nexus, Google decided to showcase how better optimized the new OS version is. Manufacturers, like many mainly Android OEMs seem to be guilty of overpowered, not so optimized phones and using this as a justification for a premium price tag.

The Galaxy Nexus with it's "modest" specs in my opinion runs pretty smoothly, Android really has come a long way in terms of optimization and better process handling. That being said it isn't perfect yet, but then again it is the first release of this OS version, even other ecosystems are not exempt of such hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I think the question in this thread goes the opposite direction. Why did google choose this gpu? Because they purposely knew it was more than capable even with the higher res screen.

What i dont believe is that google shipped these live wallpapers that arent running correctly on this version. Thats a bone head move on them. The gpu can easily handle them as you can see by running certain ones. But its just not coded properly for the new nwxus.

And yes the nexus s may run them fine. But different hardware means strange issues arise that can be fixed hopefully quickly. I just dont believe that this gpu is a bad piece at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
I am not sure if the blame goes to Google or more on Samsung who actually builds the phone.

Bottom line is, the "Nexus" phones are low sellers, don't make much money at all for Samsung or Google, compared to the more popular devices.

Yes us nerds complain about the hardware choice in the Galaxy-Nexus, but we are but a small .01% of the Android purchasers.

Samsung is kicking ass with the Galaxy SII, and the SIII is due out in Spring, their big money maker. The Nexus is but a blip on the radar in the big market picture.

This is a beta phone to test Android 4.0 ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thetinybus:
That isn't the case at all. Google wanted to put a piece of technology that was stable in this phone to showcase ICS. It has a higher clock speed than this "old" gpu you're talking about anyways.

Thracks nailed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
You're complaining about the GNex having SGX 540 with a 1280x720 display, but you forget than most tablets use WEAKER GPUs to push 1280x800 (Tegra 2 is tied only on a few workloads).

The SGX 540 is more than adequate. Besides it's a really bad idea to try hot new hardware with hot new software, that's just asking for a disaster; Google decided to use a true and tested chipset, which is a better idea for a REFERENCE PHONE. It sets the bare minimum for a good ICS experience. If you want a powerful device, grab the Galaxy S III when it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I was just about to put you on blast for this panda wallpaper but I just noticed your a chick lol.

As someone suggested before try nova launcher. Runs smooth on mine... Adwex had choppy apw widgets so I switched to nova and chop no more. Guess it goes for live wallpapers too

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pachi72:
Well Nokia symbian phones are pentaband and use Ti Soc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
So to the people who think that the gpu on the GNex is woefully underpowered: what soc was available about a year and a half at least before launch, it takes at minimum on an aggressive schedule to design a phone, that would have been a better choice?

I have yet to see how it is underpowered. All games seem to run great. The UI is snappy. So what is the issue aside from some live wallpapers that potentially need optimization? The phone is performing fantastically if you ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbrownla:
Yeah, I'm not seeing it either on my STOCK Galaxy Nexus. I think these people have rooted or done something to their phones (if they really even own them). Then again, I came from the Droid X after owning an Optimus 3D. The Optimus 3D was a great phone but the Droid X almost had me buying an iPhone... *urp*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EPICTROY:
True true but everyone over hype the Mali-400 cpu-gpu the only thing I like about it is the ability too play adobe flash 1080p flawlessly but I think that tegra has the best gpu because games never lags on it....how about turning flash on your Gnex and see how laggy it is because it's very laggy with that option one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmedandDangerous:
Like it has been said multiple times in this thread, the OMAP 4460 has a dedicated HD decoder that is separate from the GPU.

The GPU itself is still weak, considering Nexus phones should last the technological leaps that will be bound to happen between now and the next 1-2 Nexus phones.

1.4ghz is a far cry from 1.5.

Nice try ;)

Most people can hit 1.35.

A much smaller portion can hit 1.4.

I don't know anyone that can run 1.5. Don't believe me? I'll post a 1.5 kernel for you to try, that merely undoes what was disabled for 1.5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is your point? I never said otherwise vs. the decoder, and no matter how much you don't want to believe it, there was (and still isn't) any other GPU available on a soc that could handle all radios. The GN is not a GSM only device.

If you want to place blame, blame Samsung for not making their soc work with highspeed radios (such as LTE or 42mbps hspa+). Maybe you think the Nexus should have been postponed until Krait?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J.Max:
Where was it ever stated that Exynos doesn't work with high speed radios? I figured they went with TI because it makes it easier for multiple OEMs to make handsets based on the reference design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Where?

I don't know that it was given as a public statement, but it is pretty well known/assumed.

Have you noticed that neither (42mbps HSPA+ nor LTE) device SGS2 does not use Exynos?

ATT SGS2 LTE: S3/Adreno 220

Tmobile SGS2: S3/Adreno 220

Now, ATT does have a slower network device that is Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wish777:
i downloaded the app to see if there was any lag on my nexus...am running gummy without any changes to overclocking so forth...i don't have any lag what so ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J.Max:
True, but people said the same thing about Tegra 2, and the Galaxy Tab seems to work just fine on Verizon 4G LTE. I don't really know, but I don't think they'd go with a proprietary architecture on a reference device like the GN. No way Google would optimize source code for it.

Now, as to the other point...why would TI put a 2 year old GPU in the 4460 SOC to begin with? That to me is the bit that doesn't make sense.
