[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Budge:
I kept getting calls from a particular advertiser, and after asking several times for them to stop, I blocked their number on my skyrocket. :mad:

But now their number is at the top of my contact list. How do I remove it from the contact list without unblocking it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NativeTxn:
It seems that it might have to be listed in the contacts in order for the phone to recognize the number to block if they call in the future.

Complete guess, but I think a reasonable guess...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Budge:
You are probably right. I wonder if there's a way to filter my contact list so that blocked numbers aren't seen. I'll have to check the market for an app. Thanks.

PS -- Cool screen name. Nice to see another Texan on the forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ginther:
I created a contact named "Blocked Telemarketers" and put any sales call numbers under that contact. I also added it to the blacklist and auto reject list. No more rings, no missed call notifications either.

The back cover... bottom by the search button on the battery cover, it squeeks, everytime I pick it up, most annoying thing with this phone, out of all of them.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -josh-:
I think the build quality is terrible, coming from a hd2 which was solid, this phone is certainly shoddy in that regard. Mine is always making noises :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam3Sixty:
Mine doesn't squeek, but the bottom half of the touch screen, where the keyboard pops up, makes a clicking sound where the top section (screen) taps the bottom section (game pad). When its a bit noisy u can't hear it, but when ur in bed and it quite its the loudest thing in the world, lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
Hello I'm new to the nexus line and recently upgraded form a SGS. my phone is Rooted, unlocked boot loader and running the most recent version of CWM 5.5.0.4. I'm running the GSM version of the Nexus.

My question is how do I flash the my first rom? When I boot into recovery and click install zip from SDcard i get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" I am also unable to mound the data partition within. windows drivers are installed for both fastboot and adb so I can flash that way, i'm just wondering what the exact steps are and if that error mounting data is normal.

I also downloaded the most recent franco.Kernel as I want to run that, I know how to flash that with fastboot but wasnt' sure if that is how you would flash a rom with the nexus, on the SGS i used to use odin.

Thanks and sorry for the noobness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
How did you "unlock fastboot" and "root" and "install CWM"? Did you use one of the "Tool Kits"?

Do you have ROM Manager installed on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
Sorry, Yes I have ROM Manager installed and its' paid for.

I unlocked my boot loader using fastboot oem unlock, I rooted by using an app because I couldn't mount the data partition in recovery so had to use some app some guy made that downloaded the su.zip from clockwork and flashed on it's own.

I installed CWM using fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

it's the dam data partition that i'm really having trouble with, i'm just wondering if this is normal, all the posts on the web say to flash a zip by choosing "choose zip from scard" but mine wont mount???

I should also mention that my entire device is encrypted.....that is whats causing it isn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm not 100% sure but it could be that you flashed the wrong recovery.

According to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357642

the recovery for the GSM version is 5.5.0.2 and not 0.4.

I would flash the correct recovery then try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P4p3r1n0:
You can not mount sdcard from CWM recovery (don't ask me why, I don't know.. maybe because it is not supported yet ..)

anyway, do like me, use CWM 5.5.0.2 and then try again toflash zip files .. It works for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
He posted it on his Google+ account here:

https://plus.google.com/112476065271141473049/posts

I'm starting to think it's my encrypted phone, technically when I boot I have to decrypt the device before it boots into android.

I'm going to factory reset and see if that helps. I have a feeling that is what my problem is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
OK so that was the problem, the data partition was encrypted (now that I think of this it makes sense that it wouldn't mount) anyways, for whatever reason a factory reset from android wouldn't work. I removed the "recovery-from-boot.p" file from my system folder originally so the CWM image would remain in tact.

anyways, I flashed the original recovery over the CWM recovery, preformed a factory wipe (which is the only way to decrypt your phone) then flashed CWM back on and now I can mount the data partition

what a pain in the ass, guess I wont be encrypting the phone any time soon, I wish there was an option to decrypt the drive and then get into recovery....wouldn't have this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neel-X:
It is possible now on 4.1.2 to decrypt the device. You must provide a password for dectypting (chane from unlock pin to passw).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] freezepop:
Hello,

I recently rooted my TPT and installed market enabler and was successfully able to change market but today when I went to download an application I got an message saying "client is outdated, market will update automatically shortly " now do I just wait or is this an actual issue because I have never had this happen to me before. I also uninstalled market enabler thinking that was the issue... but it didn't change anything. I would be grateful for any assistance thank you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:

Another option is going into settings>applications>manage applications> market>clear data.

Try settings>applications>manage applications> google framework services>clear data if that doesn't work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morsoseth:
Okay everyone. After alot of trial and error. I got my Samsung T-mobile vibrant working on AT&T. I'm running Whiskey Nextgen 2 Rom and everything seems to be working fine except signal strength. I've read about how the Vibrant only picks up 2 of the ATT signals or whatnot but I have NO signal inside the building where I work. My question is whether an AT&T radio can be flashed to the phone so that its basically an AT&T phone with decent signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
Yeah, you can flash a captivate radio.

T-Mobile Vibrant not working on 3G network from AT&T

Could you use 3G with AT&T network?, because I couldn´t, just Edge, which is very slow,any recomendations on this matter? I heard this device doesn´t support 850 mhz, is there any way to make it happen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
No 850mhz. You can get AT&T 3g in the areas they use 1900mhz though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morsoseth:
Well I had a Captivate but it was stolen from my home during a burglary some months back. I had left it home because it was one of those "shut off" models that would constantly shut down on it own and I was using my more dependable iphone 3gs while at work. That being said, I had 3 bars inside the building. With the Vibrant on the ATT network, I'm sitting at 0. Cannot connect to the market or anything. At home, the Vibrant signal is fine but I need a happy medium and I'm still recuperating from the break-in so I cant just go out and purchase a new ATT phone at this time.

The more I read about flashing radios though, the more concerned I am about doing so. I was under the impression that the radio had to match the kernal and my kernal version is 2.6.32.9 so I dont know if the cappy radio will match.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
The good thing about it is that it's close to stock, so you won't have to find everything again =D

Any tips on a good kernel to use for best battery life?
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Don't ask that. Unless you find another user who uses their phone EXACTLY like you do, you can't compare. What is good for one person is bad for another. There are only 3 kernels. Try each out for a day and see how it works for YOU.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

What modem should this be run on? Also, I know the memory is repartitioned, but how is it that they were able to squeeze ICS onto what is supposed to be less than half the capacity it needs? Is there anything compromised by this (and I'm not talking about bugs and update-ables)?

I am definitely excited to try it out... I think I will have to be patient and wait for the alpha bugs to be ironed out first though, I'm too much of an end user.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It is recommended to use EL30 but I did not like It with my TW ROMs so stuck to EI22.

They trimmed a lot of fat but it still takes up more than CM7 in our system RAM which could cause some slow downs or even the occasional reboot.
[Epic 4G General] m550viper:
Auto-rotation

Quick note about auto-rotation: There are two separate options for this, one for the default launcher home screens:

(Menu > System Settings > Launcher > General > Auto-rotate screen)

and one for a more general use with apps:

(Menu > System Settings > Display > Auto-rotate screen).

No vm is virtual memory which is used when ram is not availble this keeps the ram "free".. least from my small understanding. :what:

[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it starts off using less ram and grows as needed (starts with 5m, maxes out at 92m, and has 32m overhead if needed).

From my understanding this setting will not affect apps that use native code (most 3D games for example), only apps that use the Dalvik Interpreter.

You can play around with the settings, my Touchpad is set at 5/48/256... But it also has more than 2x the ram of the Epic, so I figured I'd lower it a bit.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That's what I thought, so it sets limits for growth. I wonder if there is a setting for how often it gets flushed.

I have also attached my script which was calibrated to 6500k using my Spyder. My settings will look too warm to most because stock is about 7500-8000k (which is typical for uncalibrated TV's/Monitors). Also, each screen is a bit different so YMMV.
