Hey guys,

I picked up a Galaxy Nexus from Rogers(Canada) this weekend and I can't seem to send/receive picture messages. Has anyone been able to do this? I've tried an MMS apn I found online but it didn't help.

Thanks,

Ics have a problem with mms.

If you want send mms you delete apn type from mms apn.

When you send mms you have to select mms apn,send mms and select again internet apn.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Well with the release of Imnuts' awesome new kernel I'm finally back to messing around with clocks/volts. I seriously haven't touched Voltage Control since EP1W was released months ago, and even then I only overclocked and undervolted, I never messed with the I/O Schedulers or the CPU Governors. I've decided to use Smartass V2 as the Governor since Imoseyon explained what all the different governors did and that one seems to suit me the best, but as for I/O Schedulers I'm still pretty baffled.

So basically I'm asking if one of you nice XDA users could explain what I/O Schedulers are and what your personal favorite is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
For flash based memory, all IO Schedulers work roughly the same as far as how fast they work. You won't see much of any difference between any of them for 95% of what you do most likely. There is a thread here on XDA in the Nexus One section where someone (or a few people) setup a simple benchmark to test the read/write speed of a few different schedulers and they were all the same, or close enough that it wasn't significant.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
To answer the "what they are" question...

They are the rules that the OS uses to determine what order to execute reads and writes to and from block storage (HDD or flash). The primary goal of the majority of them is to find ways to group operations in such a way as to minimize the effect of the seek time on a rotating physical disk, such as an HDD. Different schedulers have different ways of deciding, but, as imnuts said, they'll make very little difference on flash, as flash doesn't have the limitations of a spinning disk, and thus, don't have the problem that I/O schedulers are meant to solve. Certain types of operations or certain individual operations may benefit from one over another in the short term, but over the long run, the total time to complete a larger set of operations on flash should shake out to be roughly the same regardless of the scheduler used.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
Firefox Mobile has the "Adblock Plus" extension available to it. It works.

However, unless it has been changed, it is a beast that takes a long time to load (in comparison to the alternatives).

-- end short answer --

Some release will drop XUL and go with native Android UI... and thus speed it up. I have not tracked the topic, but there was concern/question/reality that removing XUL would break compatibility.

There are a couple of Android wide ad blockers, but to my knowledge they all require root (as mentioned above), and all but 1 works by blocking entire domains (not the ABP regex approach).

Someone started an Android-wide Adblock Plus clone (it's in the market). He stopped and passed it on to a member of THE Adblock team. I contacted both developers. The "current" dev did not respond, so my hopes are low. (The big problem is that ABP is Javascript, and the clone is a reimplementation in Android-Java.)

If you're rooted then use an app called "Ad Away" from the market. I been using it for quite a while now and it works flawlessly.

Try AdFree Android, this blocks all ads on free apps by having a similar proxy blacklist like AdBlockPlus for webpages. It works very well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
Does the use of liveOC negate the need for normal oc? Or is it OK to combine the two? For example, can I set liveoc to 110 and oc to 1.2?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Yes, you can change the min/max clocks AND LiveOC. It's just that, for example at 110%:

100 --> 110mhz

200 --> 220mhz

400 --> 440mhz

800 --> 880mhz

1000 -> 1100mhz

1200 -> 1320mhz

etc

Just remember that because the frequency is going up, you may need to jack up the voltage a step to keep it stable for each frequency.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
If you're a fn of Otterbox email and ask them if they plan to make a case for the device. If enough requests come in they may start to manufacture a case for it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ORam78:
I hate to burst your bubble but it doesn't work that way. I do the electrical for this company and know the owner of the company. Tablet cases are only made based on the demand. How do I know this? Well, I sat down with the owner and their engineer on this issue. I had even asked why they didn't make the case for the prime. Multiple reasons, first and foremost, companies rarely will offer the device in advance so that OB will make the case as the device is released(Apple hates the fact that OB makes a case, why? because it hurts apples sales for their own cases). Secondly, and most important, OB must establish a contract with the manufacturer or supplier in order to make the case. Once this is done, the case is then tested against weather or not it will sell and also if there is a market for that specific device. My response to that, "but there is". OB's response, it is dependent on weather or not the manufacturer will issue an order or if OB will get a sales request from a supplier, like best buy or amazon.

So in short, emailing customer support is a waste of your time. I know a few of their agents and most of the time those requests are reviewed however nothing can be done without an order.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Big issue I think is that tablets just don't get the same case backing as phones do. (excluding the iPad, which is very well supported by accessory makes, but then again, there's only one model every so long.) If more companies like Trident, Griffon, etc. put more focus on other tablets we'd easily see something similar to, if not an OtterBox, but they seem to think (and unfortunately are sort of correct) that there's more money to be made on the iPad than other tablets. I would love any rugged solution for my prime, Gum Drop, OB, Trident, I really don't care.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ORam78:
First off, not the utility guy bud...I've done his work back when they had some ugly cases. Second, I could care less if you believed me. I doubt Curt cares weather his company makes one for you or not. Last I checked, he does just fine without making a case for every device. I'll let him know though when I see him in the morning. After all, his office is on the third floor. Which is where my meeting is tomorrow.

And since the OP is the person that asked, and wasn't being a ****...send me a pm and I'll see if I can at least get you a free case for a phone...just send me your phone details.

I'll mention it to him again about the prime case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Isn't the gumdrop cases like an otterbox type design? Wonder if they have something in the works.

Like any business....

If there's enough fanfare and interest they probably *will* make it. It's not "never", it's "how hard do you all want it?"

If there is enough interest, it will be made. We'd have to pull off another massive, highly targeted, multi-pronged Social-Media attack....

But it's entirely possible.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Boiling this down...

Find an independent supplier (NEWEGG, YOU READING THIS?!?) that has a geek heart, that would be willing to field something like this.

Stage a massive Facebook Wall takeover/Twitter bombing like we did with ASUS, only this time requesting an OtterBox for the Prime.

The focus would be not only OtterBox but suppliers....

Great suggestion!

They have a TF101 Original Transformer Case:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
That was pretty rude, the guy was only trying give us some inside information into how these decisions are made and you have to jump on him? Now when we may need some additional information in the future from not only him, but others may have second thoughts about posting some piece of information for us. That was a pretty jack a s s way to act. In my business (global restaurant company with over 350 locations) Our CEO talks with everyone at the HQ, and everyone is ENCOURAGED to bring ideas and innovation. What a terrible kind of place to work....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
I agree. And I got the same email as everyone else. I would find it hard to believe that a company would deny a certain market if the demand was high enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Yeah you've got a point, I apologize where it's due. Sorry man, and the info is appreciated Oram
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ORam78:
Much appreciated and thanks for the apology. Funny thing is that Curt has a small replica of the Titanic in his office above his bookshelf. He has it there to symbolize that nothing is unsinkable. He encourages what you talk about here. That creativity and innovation made what his company is today. His son is taking off as well with OB Asia which from what I hear is growing as fast as OB did.

Working at the HQ is cool as hell. Let's just say I am working on getting into the company.

On an additional note, it is being 'discussed' but as I stated previously, its tough without an order. This is strait from the top. But if I know Curt, this won't just get put on the back burner. I'll keep checking into it and fill in details when I know something.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robomo:
The *big* dream I believe, would be an Otterbox that includes coverage for the dock accessory. The engineering/design would be tricky, but if it could be effectively pulled off it would *definitely* garner quite the crowd.

A *transformational design* that is as adaptable as the Prime - one for the dock, one for the tablet and is interconnectable and usable.

Something like that would be insanely cool, and very, VERY successful I believe. The majority of people who buy a Transformer Prime don't just want the latest n' greatest (though that's nice)... they also like the optional dock accessory. The huge backorder fiasco going on with the docks proves ASUS significantly underestimated the dock demand.

If you know any counterparts at NewEgg, tell them a hurd of Geeks over at XDA would love an Otterbox for their Primes :cool:

In my opinion, *nobody* has the street cred like NewEgg. There's a very good reason why they're at the top of the Geekdom hardware foodchain.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ngough:
Oh man, if they make a case for the Prime, I would be all over it. Have a case from them for my Nexus One. Minus the screen shield (as expected), it darn near looks as good and definitely performs as good as the day I bought it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
if you only have one launcher and you chose the debloat option there is no choice to make. Download another launcher from the market or the net like go launcher or adw and you will be presented with the option because you will have more than one launcher installed. If you debloated you removed the barnes and noble launcher.

Sorry for the confusion, the antenna is at the top-right of the device when it's put together.

So the bottom of the picture is the top of the front of the device.

USB Port

The back USB Port behind the cover is coming out on my 80G9 when unplugging a cable f.e. is this correct? It moves 1cm from its normal position.

Cause on your pics I didnt saw that the USB Port is mounted on a sledge plate.

Or wasnt this visible to me.

It might be correct cause the back USB Port is connected to the main board with a cable ...

[Gen9 Android Development] Tweakurr:
Which one of the ribbon cables carries the touch screen data? I have a non-responsive screen, Thanks.
[Gen9 Android Development] iourine:
The long white one. The brown is to LCD matrix.

The matrix and the touchscreen look as a single unit, however they can be separated. Remove the metal shield at the motherboard side, all additional boards (antennas etc.), and metal clamps on the short sides of of the panel. It appears as a single unit in a metal frame. Actually there is one frame attached to the front panel and touchscreen, and the other embracing the matrix. The latter frame is fixed within the former one with small metal clamps/holes on them. Just release them with a small screwdriver. Be careful not to leave your greasy fingerprints on the matrix - as for any optics, the more you try to clean it afterwards, the more you pollute it.

Proud to say that I broke my touchscreen and left the matrix fully operational. And found a man here in Moscow with exactly the opposite damage. And managed to assemble a single device out of the two. And it works! And no unrecognized spare parts left! And now I have a spare MB (with dead modem port, however) for Linux exercises, and a spare set of batteries - which seems to be quite useful in the future.

Is the screen completely dead? In my case, the crack was not across the whole glass, and the very edge of the screen (about 15% wide) remained operational. Thus I managed to rotate it so that it could be unlocked, and then use a USB mouse to set off the screen lock for the future. Once unlocked, it could be operaterd with a mouse instead of the TS.
[Gen9 Android Development] Tweakurr:
Thanks very much for the reply. Sorry for the delay been on vacation and doing house remodeling. I will compare the cables tonight. The display is perfectly fine except for the touch sense. Just want to make sure the problem lies in the display panel.
[Gen9 Android Development] iourine:
I'd better check the cables and connectors only. If the trouble is in the touchscreen itself, or in its controller board (attached to the bottom side and bent around the LCD matrix - do not tear it off!), then surely you won't fix it at home. Hardly you will be able to replace the controller board alone, too. The only chance is to find another broken device for parts, as I did.
[Gen9 Android Development] Franz.Xaver:
Thanks for the teardown pics, they are very interesting.

I was thinking if it would be possible to exchange the speaker to some better speaker.

Is this possible, did anyone perhaps already exchange the speaker?
