CIQ and now this? The switch to WP7 was always easy, now I'm near dancing on the tragic comedy that is an android user's privacy.
[Off-topic] mistermentality:
You don't like an os that tracks what you do from a company that sells you ads?

Um...bing direct ads via user data and the wp7 phones have been found tracking users without users permission.

Sorry but given that these things about microsoft are well known then to ignore them so you can claim some moral high ground for ms by implying they have no privacy issues is trolling.

As is suggesting ciq is an android problem when its a usa issue not related to the os because it is not part of android nor on most android phones. Certainly not in uk or europe.

I had this on my Samsung Captivate and it was a neat little thing to have, curious if it could be ported over. It's available in the market but currently only works on Galaxy S phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alas1986:
After going from one thread to the other i was able to do it myself so I've decided to put it all under 1 thread... Unzip all the files you download

WARNING!!!! I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE TO WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!!!

Step ONE :

Download the USB driver and firmware files to Windows. ( USB DRIVERS) ( FIRMWARE)

Run USB driver app in Windows, reboot Windows.

Run firmware app in Windows.

Put phone in download mode (power off, volume down + power on, plug USB cable in)

in firmware app, click start!

And you're done!

You're now yakju with latest Google ITL41F.

For those who are having issues with the "R" icon for roaming on Fido,rogers,Wind,Mobilicity etc etc .. follow the instructions below

You will need to unlock your bootloader and the following files:

1: FASTBOOT

2: UGLK1 RADIO

Unlock Galaxy Nexus Bootloader

Below’s a step by step guide for folks who’re not much familiar with fastboot and stuff like that. Here you go:

Put your phone in fastboot mode:

Switch off your phone

Hold the Volume Up Key + Volume Down Key and then press the Power button.

You’ll now see a Android robot. And text below it would read “FASTBOOT MODE” in red.

Extract the Fastboot.zip file on your PC

Now open the Fastboot folder ─ hold Shift key and Right click at any empty space inside the folder, and select “Open command window here“

Now connect your phone to your PC using USB cable, and then type fastboot devices in the command prompt to make sure your device is recognized.

And now to unlock the bootloader, type this in the command prompt:

fastboot oem unlock

Accept the request on your phone by selecting Yes using the Volume button and then press the Power button to confirm. (Keep CMW opened as you'll need it for people with the roaming issues)

Next you will want to "Flash" the UGLK1 Radio. To do so follow the instructions below:

In CMW after you have unlocked your bootloader, Type:

fastboot flash radio <radio-maguro-i9250ugkl1.img> without the "<>"

Then

fastboot oem lock (to relock your bootloader)

Enjoy your new Galaxy Nexus updated by Google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SL1VR:
Will rooting/unlocking the bootloader void the warranty? Any way around this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Technically yes, but you can always relock and flash back to the stock images, effectively returning it to out of the box stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Thanks, worked perfectly for me. Got a notification of an update too.

But when I went to go update in the middle of the update it just stopped half way through with a big red triangle with a "!" in the centre of it which I assumed ment it didnt work so I restarted my phone and the notification to update never came back :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alas1986:
Search for the update manually

Go to menu>settings>about phone>update>check for updates

I've done that, says I have the latest version even after rebooting the phone.

You could try to factory reset your phone also

I am not exprt but looks like your phone drivers ste not loading properly. I had same issue but then I waited for the drivers to load on my pc and then pressed start button again and it stsrted working .

I would suggest that you conect your first snd let windows load drivers. When you drivers are loaded then follow the procedure .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe3754:
I do not mean to disrupt this thread but there is a much easier way to do this and it is all one click,if you go here and download this tool http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/gnex-root-toolkit/ and then download the factory image and put it in the factory image folder of the tool, it is all one click from there.I have read that it works well, I did not try it because my phone is Yakju out of the box.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaroag:
Hi. I've been thinking about how the phone/tablet manufacturers manage the android platform source code. In my case, I have a SE MK16a "Xperia Pro", for which SE only releases the Kernel source code, as most manufacturers do.

What I think, as most of the android platform is licensed under the Apache license, should the manufacturers release the platform modifications they make? For me, it would be interesting if I could rebuild some framework parts to customize my stock ROM, and I think that's one of the reasons Android is open source.

The reason to post this here is, I would like to know other people's opinion or experiences about this.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Fro-Zone:
How do I get my android back? Or, Can I?:confused:

This will become obvious, so here it is... I/Me = Noob. Thanks for the patience in advance.

I did a good month of research & playing around before, then finally installed ClockWorkMod & rooted my S2. Was up late trying to get something done on it & had just installed cwm. I choose the option within cwm to "backup" and let it run it's course, assumed (never, I know) this was done correctly & I was free to do what I love, customize - optimize - edit - etc. Well, apparently is was not done. I realized this last night and immediately scrambled (panicked) & may have made my matters so bad that I will be walking into the Sprint store with my tail, & ego, between my legs forking over some hard earned cash.

I formatted all files within "Mounts and Storage," cleared all "caches" and did a "wipe data/factory reset" - Basically did every option I could at least 2x's. :eek:

I did look for the back up - but it was not there (prior to all wipes)

I feel like I can get my phone back witch is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen when on, and the battery pic when on charger. But, I need access to the external SD drive so I can install the files that I have on my CPU. I have researched this all day! Took off work today, and tomorrow seemingly. If this is a hopeless task, for the love of all things righteous, someone please put me out of my misery!

BTW - First post ever on any site. I am smart enough to know that when it comes to this stuff I cannot keep being hard headed and not asking for help. I just hope its not to late.

[General Questions and Answers] moshe22:
If you can only access cwm them you should be able to download a ROM for your phone and flash it within CWM.
[General Questions and Answers] Masamushia:
Seriously? That's definitely a good attitude to hold when you don't receive help. Just get hostile with the people you are requesting help from! But I digress. Well, if you did indeed botch a backup somehow, it sounds like all you need to do is just flash another ROM or something and you should be golden. The backups are stored in your external SDcard for future reference though, under CWM -> Backup.
[General Questions and Answers] Fro-Zone:
In response to the attitude... what else would you have me do when I need help, I ask, and I am ignored? Plus, my tactic worked, but, I digress.

In the days of emptiness with no help, I list cwm and now have real problem. I can still access default recovery mode, and a screen that says got to kies and do recovery mode. My main issue after several hours troubleshooting, is, I cannot get my phone to be recognized by any drive on my laptop. It will also not respond to being charged.

I have already replaced the dam phone, but I am not giving up on the seemingly fubarred one.

Without sarcasm, thank you for your response and attempted assistance. I do appreciate it, despite what you feel about any prior comments.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carinlynchin:
Hi, I have been waiting and waiting for an Android device to incorporate WACOM but the only one so far is the lenovo thinkpad....so I was wondering a few things:

1) If you have one...is the pen pressure and all that very very good like it is on other wacom devices??

2) Although I have been considering this device, I am still stuck with wanting Windows or some other operating system that will let me draw and edit on programs such as GIMP or Photoshop etc.....so ...my next question is: If I get a windows based tablet with WACOM capabilities, would it be possible to have a full functioning Android OS installed that will be able to use the multi-touch capabilities as well as the WACOM pen input?? If so, what is the quality when using the Android OS? Does it work flawlessly? Can you have other features such as forward and rear camera functionality...etc??

3) Pretty much here is what I want and you tell me if you know it exists or if you think it can be done by installing certain things.

* Some major OS..(windows, mac, linux, etc) that can use full-fledged programs for graphic art..etc...

* Has multi-touch as well as Wacom capabilities

* Has cameras

* Will have Android OS as well as above OS and Android will work just like it does on the phones and tablets.

Pretty much I want android and only OS for major applications that can't be done on android......

Maybe I'm dreaming (along with everyone else) but I thought I might stop in and ask the Pros ....

Thanks

My nephew who is an exceptional artist and draws amazing portraits and abstract images using sketch book on his sprint HTC Android phone (not blowing smoke he uses his fingers to perform all the intricate details) went nuts when I showed him my TPT. He said it felt great and he would not let it go through the holiday visit. He gave it two thumbs up. Coming from him says a lot. I am sure it won't compare to WACOM hardware but he drew a nice abstract piece on my tablet using sketch book pro. My jaw dropped I could not believe he did this using my TPT.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
Cellphones/Android tablets have ARM based processors.

Laptops/Desktops have x86/x64 based processors.

Android is an ARM based OS.

Windows is x86 or x64 based OS.

Windows 8 will have both ARM and x86/64 based iterations.

At the current point there is no way to run windows and android on the same device unless you use an emulator like bluestack(which prolly won't run many android apps). Windows 8 will be able to run on ARM devices (if you can unlock the bootloader and find the right drivers) but in the meantime your best bet will be either remote desktop (which allows you to remotely access your x86/64 machine) or ubuntu (which has been recompiled for ARM... if you can find the drivers).

Honestly, the art programs for android are amazing. You may not need windows as badly as you think.

Sketchbook Pro

Photoshop Mobile

Doodleroid

Sketch n Draw
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carinlynchin:
yea thanks...i actually have sketchbook pro and I really like it but as far as photo editing...what is equivalent to photoshop or gimp (i use gimp bc photoshop is too expensive for me since its only a hobby)....

also what would be the best android device for pressure sensitivity and as close to wacom as possible?

I came upon somehting that I think beats ntrig possibly.... called the IPEN....currently it doesn't support pressure sensitivity but the IPEN 2 will....then they have a PENBOOK but I don't know about getting another windows device...i really like android but would be willing to get an IPAD if I could get the IPEN2 because its only supported on Ipads (apple stuff) or the PENBOOk......look up the vids for it...its pretty darn cool....

see i'm desperate to find what I want here w/i the next month bc its tax season :)....and any other time I can't warrant spending that much money :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tableteer:
Samsung will release the next Galaxy Tab with the S-Pen, which is made by Wacom.

Just wait a few more weeks. It will definitely be worth it! The IPEN solution looks OK, but will only work with the included software and you can't get around the stupid limitations of iOS (for example no way to export files other than mailing them to yourself).

The N-Trig pen actually works quite well, but has its quirks (like all N-Trig products).

I'm very confident that the Samsung + Wacom combination will be by far the best solution.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carinlynchin:
When does the Samsung with s pen come out? I haven't seen that anywhere...o heard that they wanted to use out for future releases but didn't see any plans...can you send me a link please?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carinlynchin:
I called samsung but they didn't know about it
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tableteer:
It's not official, but confirmed by a Samsung executive. No release dates, but MWC is a good guess. Maybe a bit later. Either way, I think it's worth the wait, because it's MUCH better than N-Trig or iPen.

Good night .. I ask you a question to the developers who know much about editing files. bin

With that program I can edit the AMS.BIN?

I have no option to see if I can do this because I can not re-bada 1.2 / 1.0 as it gives me an error I can not resolve.

So please read this developers if I do please tell me which program or file that opens AMS.BIN?

From already thank you very much and I hope I can help!

No, complete backup can be done only via CWM recovery. You can try mounting system first and then backup again. If that doesn't work then try re-flashing the rom and using stable version of CWM recovery (v4.0.0.9) :)

Hi all, After flashing Yakju on my Yakjuux device i ran into this problem where i couldnt download and install 80% of the apps in the market. Error 101 or 404

Here's how i fixed it. It's a pretty simple fix

Go to your Apn settings on settings>more>mobile networks>access point names.

Then select your APN to edit it.

Remove any proxy and proxy port in there , just delete them.

note: not the MMS proxy.

Save the changed you've done and your market should download like a champ!!

As long as buttons still work, get into Odin mode, volume down and power button, press volume up when screen is shown and then flash stock ROM through Odin from computer. This will return u back to stock. Search Dev section and it will explain more in detials. Good luck.

Help is really appreciated, I need to sell this phone and can't have all my personal data on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
Just follow same steps as i've mentioned above. Turn off phone, hold volume down/power for about 5-8 seconds and the press volume up. Now go to computer and run Odin, then connect phone to computer. If u did it correctly Odin should recognize phone and com port should be shown in yellow. From there follow steps on how to flash phone back to stock using Odin in dev section. Make sure you have the USB divers installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
btw even doing that you will still have stuff in your usb files. I believe there is a file although unsure which one it was. its a pit file that erases everything on the phone because it formats all the partitions. it is flashable through odin and it was in one of the threads that had the full restore. might have been eg30 or ek02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halojinx:
True. for me, all my stuff are saved to my sd card. OP should remove personal files off sd card, if any,and save any files needing to be saved, then format card on computer. Best way is to perform what you have suggested if OP doesn't want buyer to see installed apps and other files on phone. Hope OP understands what you have suggested.

[Off-topic] cobalt553:
I've been using Android for more than a year and I stick to it for familiarity sake. But for Windows 7, one has to use the phone for a while to understand its unique feature. The best thing about Windows is that they integrate email, and contacts from different networks together on the phone in a seamless way. Win 7 phone is much more content centric, compared to app centric. I've not seen any other phone OS do it that way.

It is a shame that Windows isn't marketing that concept well enough. If Windows 7 had more apps, it will be a serious contender with Android.
