[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
im curious is to why when i go to the settings, about phone, software update... the phone says application software update has stopped unexpectedly, pls try again.

This has happened ever since I upgraded to xxki4...

can anyone tell me how i can fix this problem?

also does anyone know the official release date of ics for the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ding ding ding ding ding !

You're the 136,794,308th person to ask this inane question on XDA. Accordingly, Samsung have advised there will now be no official ICS firmware released for the SGS2, ever. Nor will there be any source code whatsoever released (which means CM9 won't be progressing from its current alpha build status, also ever).

Are you happy now ?

Also, you made the Baby Jebus cry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kneedraggin101:
software update used to work on a stock phone, before i upgraded to xxki4...

just used to say nothing was available... but it still worked

can i root again using unrevoked3 and superuser instead of simpleroot and damage control?(which is where i think the problem im having came from) or do i need to unroot before i can use unrevoked3?:confused:

Android beam and face recognition?

Or do only the "official" ICS gets it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
It's up to the rom developers - I for one think the g2 should have this feature despite our lack of a front facing camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
don;t need FF camera for beam though, rite?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
rite. However you do need an rfid chip for nfc, which we're lacking. so we wont get to play with that either.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentie:
Desire Z lacks front camera and NFC hardware, thus neither of this works in ICS, i believe.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spjuggalojoe:
No but an sdcard with rfid built in was introduced at CES or maybe just before. I don't have a link at the moment but you can find it by doing a search for nfc on Google news. Hope this helps.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whippler:
i read about it some where, but mentioned nothing about capacity, or never even referred to it even having memory. I ques they lacked the memory part alltogether @ this time. And i dont think no-one is going to get satisfied whit just the minuscale internal memory on this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spjuggalojoe:
You're right about that one. It's sad that half of our measley internal storage is taken up by the stock system files, and each custom rom we add takes away from that.

Anyways, here's the link to the story I read about it. There's also a link to the manufacturer's site in there.

Edit:

I modified this post because this has become more involved than simply the fb app. It has evolved more towards the build.prop file being modified.

Original post:

i tried to download the facebook app from the market, and it's not showing. so i did a titanium backup of it from my phone and installed it on the nt, initially i was able to open it and sign in. i went to a few posts, looked at a few friends, etc. after turning it off, it would force close each time i tried to reopen it. i dont know whats happening to make it force close. i presume since it's not showing in the market, it's communicating with facebook or the market and one or the other is telling it no.

is there anyway to tell the market this is another device so it will show other apps that are not available right now?

Get your Facebook apk from this compressed file found in this post. Once you unpack/unzip it navigate to the extracted apps folder to find the facebook, Twitter etc. apk's
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
I'm going with dodgepot's method. I've noticed other apps were not available since posting this. This method should clear it up. It will be late tonight before I'll get a chance but I'll let you guys know the results.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Honestly the facebook app is not that good any version, its better if you access it by browser just bookmark the page.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
Oppinions vary on the fb app. I like it personally. I did get it to work however. I installed the updated app just fine from a backup of my evo shift. However... I tried the build.prop mod. Nogo. I tried the nexus s and the .... crap.. drawn a blank here... the second mod listed in the linked page. Neither worked. Anyone with experience modding the build.prop file, I have a few questions. In the original file there are more of the ro. fields listed than what are shown on each of the mods. Do these other original lines have to remain in place or should they be deleted? Some of them look to me as if they would conflict with the new lines. Also, what's the endresult of a screwed up build.prop file? Does something other than market rely on this file? If its geeked up, will I brick or have to re-root? Also, I presume this file is something that comes with the 1.4.0 rom. Is this something that could/should be replaced when the root process is taking place to prepare the device for the market? I guess when cm roms, etc. come out they will have there own build.prop that will define the device as something else to the market so more apps are available since google doesn't recognize the nt as a "market" device?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Do not remove7touch the other .ro's of build.prop just change the lines provided. The end result with a screwed up build.prop basically will be that your device won't be recognized by market and certain apps if not all, for ex. airdroid when i login in my browser to access my nook it recognize it as Droid3 because i changed my build.prop to Droid3. You won't brick or have to re-root your device if you mess up with it, by using adb push of the original build.prop is enough. Build.prop can be changed to a modified one before root i did it and worked like a charm.

A line is being canceled from my tmobile account. They said we need to be on the phone with them, Do i need to switch back to factory settings or does it really matter? When they switch my sims to unlock... Does it require my phone to be on factory settings or can i just keep my phone s-off and coredroid on my phone?
[HTC Sensation] boakesm:
Not sure your question is clear Sims are specific to supplier but will work on any unlocked phone......
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
I have tmobile and they're willing to unlock my phone so that i can use other carriers sims with my sensation.. However i have it unlocked and coredroid rom on it.. Do i need to go back to factory rom or can i leave it as it is for them to unlock my phone for other sims...?
[HTC Sensation] boakesm:
Have you tried another sim my guess is you are aleady unlocked...
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
yes.. tried a att... doesnt work... Tmobile said they're going to unlock it for me.. My question is do i need to be on factory rom or is it okay to leave it on coredroid rom.. Can they access my phone and unlock it even though im unlocked and on a custom rom?
[HTC Sensation] boakesm:
Well tell them to try nothing to loose - I still believe its a matter of u need the apn - access point name - settings for new sim / provider. When you 1st boot a Rom it as you to select from list...

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Babis_ECE:
One of the main features Android 2.2 (Froyo) introduced was Flash Support.

I don't think Flash can work on Android 2.1 (Eclair).

If you want to have Flash on your Milestone you should consider upgrading it to Android 2.2.1 (Official or CM6) or 2.3.7 (CM7). ;)

Furthermore, you mention using CWM Recovery. This only works correctly on the Droid. NOT in the Milestone. Use an OpenRecovery (FuFu's, Androidiani's) with your Milestone.

(I am guessing you have a Milestone since you posted this Thread in the Milestone Android Development..)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaetawoo:
I'm using the AOKP rom for my Galaxy Nexus and using the native tethering (not verizon) built into that rom and also using a pre- build of the WiFi Tether app, I was able to tether to my TF201. The latest version of WiFi Tether does not work however, and i dont know why.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre113.apk&can=2&q=

that one might work, though the one i have is pre110, but i don't see that on the download list.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Look, there is a consistent theme here that has been pretty much established some days back now that explains why if works for you...

*your using a custom ROM

and you have native tethering built in said ROM

So not sure it is worth a whole new thread over your success to be honest, I could have told you this would work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I also have the Galaxy Nexus and, for whatever reason, I can't get either pre110 or pre113 to work (although pre110 worked for my Nook Color), but I can tell what does work (without a ROM that has the native tethering built in).

I got SwitchPro from the Market and am using its AndroidAP toggle as a widget on my GNex home page. Somehow, that SwitchPro toggle allows the native tethering to work without calling up the Verizon subscription page. I'm using it right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Nice.... but again, something different than the big tethering issue blocking ad hocs networks for tethering via an APK. Not an apples to apples comparison to those of us NOT on a custom ROM and with no native tethering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
did you ever hear back from the maker of the tether apps yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Nope :(

Sent a direct email to the Barnacle dev who helped with the TF101 ad hoc issue. Nothing back.

I did hear back from the member that helped get this fixed for the TF101 with the help of the Barnacle dev. He said he would help. I looped him into what I/we have tried and even sent him some info today about my latest test using some files from the Prime's HC system dump. Just not heard back so might be slow on that front to get movement. Back in my original thread I posted last nights test and failure and why I think it failed.
[Droid 2 Global General] clockcycle:
Hellos,

Was wondering and wanted to know from others, their experiences with using a D2G with different carriers/services.

I have a D2G on simple mobile currently. Switched from Sprint using an EVO 4G, data in my calling areas just stunk and never got better, forget ever getting a 4G signal..

But, it seems I am in an area between towers, because I seem to get the same result using Simple Mobile connected to Tmobile Towers. Signal drops from nothing to 3 bars if I turn around. And I only get an Edge data connection (I understand it's a frequency issue).

I was told by a Walmart Rep, that they use Family Mobile powered by Tmobile and don't have the throttle issue as with Simple Mobile, but 250mb data cap at the same $45/month as Straight Talk (even thought I'd be stuck at Edge with the D2G anyways) is too low a cap, especially if I were to switch phones later on.

So I recently read into Straight Talk as an option, after reading how bad H2O data is and that Simple Mobile's 3G is throttled to 119kbs (tested on a SK4G, yeap confirmed 119kbs max).

So I wanted to know from others, what kind of data rates they are getting on various providers using a D2G.

-CC
[Droid 2 Global General] SanFrancisco:
I would not know about Droid using 2G (on my old phones what I used as T-Mobile EDGE) or what I call "100K data" connection since I don't get it around here. I am sure that my data connection at times has degraded to 2G, but I have not noticed that as being the issue, so I have not been able to perform a speed test while in 2G mode.

Last June 2011 I used a Droid style phone on Virgin Mobile USA prepaid. That was the Motorola Triumph. I can't recall as a MVNO who was providing Virgin Mobile's signal, but I think it was Sprint by that point (Sprint bought Virgin Mobile USA prepaid). In any event, I was not pleased with the VM speeds (that is, if I was not using WiFi). My speeds were consistently about 300K to 700K.

Currently I use Straight Talk and I am VERY VERY pleased with the service. When I bought a phone and a Straight Talk SIM card I opted for GSM AT&T service since it had better GSM phones than T-Mobile did.

Since Straight Talk is an MVNO (buying its signal or "tower space" from other carriers and spectrum resellers) one's Straight Talk signal and data connection will only be as good as the provider you chose to use with your Straight Talk account. I assume the same principle applies to CDMA and Droid (Motorola) handsets.

Where I live in San Francisco I get a better signal from GSM-based AT&T than I did with T-Mobile GSM handsets, so on Straight Talk's SIM purchasing site I chose to buy an AT&T GSM SIM.

Whereas with T-Mobile 4G I would often get 2G in most parts of my residence, with AT&T 4G (again, this is with Straight Talk) using an Samsung Galaxy S II and ATT HTC Inspire, I consistently get a strong 4G signal (says "H+" on notification bar). And speed tests have been outstanding, (using speed test net 2286 kbps download, 1130kbps upload). Those speeds are in the "slower part of the house). This does not matter most of the time, however, since I use WiFi 90% of the time.

Bottom line: I suspect one's physical locale, handset model, and provider (CDMA, GSM, or specific carrier) all play an important part in the speed and quality of a data connection. In other words, everyone's experience may differ, even with someone who has the exact same setup as I, but who lives down the block.
[HTC Sensation] Immortaly007:
Hi everyone,

I was wondering, I'm currently running LeeDroid's SuperSensational V4.3.0 (With android 2.3.5). But I want to go to ICS (Darkforest ROM for example).

If I use titanium backup to restore the apps from this android 2.3.5 ROM (including data), in my new android 4.0.3 rom, will this cause a lot of FC issues, or is it a safe process?

I can't seem to find any details about it, so...any experiences?
[HTC Sensation] porfymartinez:
I don't know about anyone else, but I couldn't restore the apps through TB. I used File Expert to find my TB folder and restored them manually than used TB to restore my data for the apps. No force closes here...
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
Tb works fine aslong as you have the latest version, no fc but some older apps will be incompatible

Think the latest is 4.7.3 it was updated for ICS
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
As long as the app is compatible with ICS it'll work fine.

It won't matter that it was previously installed on Gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] SickL1408:
You will almost certainly find the FC issues after restoring the user apps along with data. I havent personally found problem on restoring system apps but user apps sometimes cause FC problems. And on a separate note, you should move onto the DarkForest ROM. Best ICS ROM for me :D
[HTC Sensation] Immortaly007:
Hi,

Just to update on the progress: I did flash DarkForest rom and ran a Titanium backup of all user app and some system data (only the stuff I found necessary, i don't use HTC mail and stuff so I didn't restore that).

So far the only app that seems to FC on me is the XDA app (kind of ironic xD). So if anybody's wondering: yes restoring titanium backup to ICS is safe
[Atrix 4G General] zizux:
So I had to replace my ear speaker on my atrix. That went well but when I put it back together I lost the ability to hit the 2,w,s,x&z keys on the keyboard when the phone is held upright.

I've taken it apparent and put it back together again to no avail :(

Any suggestions on what to try to fix it?
[Atrix 4G General] sebbo90:
It does sound like it is hardware related. I assume that this patch of screen doesn't function at all on other apps (not the keyboard)? Try a touch test app on the market and see if it recognizes the touch on the broken bit of the screen
[Atrix 4G General] zizux:
Thats the odd thing, with the mutlitouch tester app you can click and then drag over to that area and there is a line where it won't cross but you can get close.

I must have bumped or scratched something internally, the screen itself is fine.
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
sounds like the fragile digitizer ribbon had been riped
[Atrix 4G General] sebbo90:
Yeah if that is the case, i'm afraid that it broken and you'll need a new digitizer, sorry
[Atrix 4G General] elnino43:
Had SAME exact issue. And when I had it in lanscape mode it the backspace button didnt work either. I got it replaced yesterday under warranty
[Atrix 4G General] zizux:
I went in and they did the same for me WOOT!

They noticed that it was rooted and said 6 days ago they would have told me I was SOL but they got an email from somebody at AT&T that said root didn't matter I guess.

I did have another rom on my phone which they didn't say anything about?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stncldtex:
I will probably get flamed, but I have looked and can't find a direct answer. I just got my t959v as a replacement for my Vib. Can I root this without a PC? I'm on stock 2.3.6.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Just to clarify, when you say "without a PC" do you mean no computer at all or that you're using a Mac/Linux computer?

If you have no access to a computer with which to use SuperOneClick or to load up a modified kernel, then I don't think it can be done as standard recovery doesn't give you the ability to flash like you can in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
I have a theory but it is only a theory. I will verify at a later date or you can jump in if you want (might soft brick, recovering requires a computer).

Theoretically you should be able to use kernel flasher to flash a custom kernel with cwm. Then flash a ROM with root.

Again I have not verified this works but I will try soon (insert vague time stamp here)

Be respectful

Always click thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I haven't tried one of those & didn't even think about that. Good mention for sure. I'm game with testing that theory with you at some point if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stncldtex:
Was hoping it would be as easy as the 959. Copy an update.zip to my sd, reinstall packages and bam, guess not. Will try the kernel flasher method. Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No worries. You could try the method you described; I've not done that. I'm wanting to say the one time I tried to flash something that way using standard recovery that I got signature verification errors.

Good luck; let us know if you need any assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stncldtex:
No go, on kernel flasher. No root access. Can I install cwm without root from my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I don't know of a way without one of the custom kernels. All of the ones I am aware of come with CWM/root/voodoo lagfix.

I will admit I've never looked into adding CWM without root access or if it can be done, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I believe the update.zip method was for Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
You have to be rooted to use a kernel flasher which sorta defeats the purpose lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Yeah like I said, just a theory. Haven't used myself ever. Looks like you need a computer to root. And I don't recommend a Mac! Lol : Rips out hair:eek:
