[TouchPad General] ImEatingSeeds:
Hey all, just downloaded the gapps zip from goo-inside.me.

The filename is "gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11.zip", however when I try to install the zip from CMRecovery, I keep getting

E: Can't open /sdcard/gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11.zip" (bad)

Installation aborted.

I also tried a file I found on there named "gapps-ics-20120201-signed.zip", and that returns the SAME error.

I did a full cache wipe, factory reset, dalvik wipe, then installed CM9 0.6, and even tried "Fix Permissions".

NOTHING seems to be resolving this. I tried to search around for people with this problem with either of these two zip files, but have found nothing regarding these two specific zip files returning this error.

I tried downloading a fresh copy of the files, removing/recopying the file...nothing is helping.

I'm sure the fix is simple and elegant, but I'd love some help on this as I feel like a moron not being able to figure this out :)

Thanks all, and CHEERS!
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
Hmm, that's weird.

Try downloading from different site. You could also try v8, if it installs, it will update and you'll be current.

Just some ideas. Hope something works. Good luck.
[TouchPad General] TheAmazingGoop:
I had the same problem. I was able to flash only after copying Gapps to the TP via clockworkmod. Unmounting, rebooting, then flashing. Good luck!
[TouchPad General] TheRisingDragon:
:(

I can't install gapps which I downloaded from above mentioned site :( hope a solution if any of you solved it :?
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
If you're installing a rom, use this link http://goo.im/gapps to choose the appropriate gapps. Copy it to the root of your sd card, along with the rom file. Wipe cache, format system and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash the rom, then the Gapps. Reboot. It should work. If you just want to install gapps, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, flash the Gapps file then reboot.

Good luck. Make sure that you use the Gapps corresponding to the OS you're using.

[General Questions and Answers] sirspazzolot:
I suppose this is still a general question, but my specific situation involves these two phones. I'm leaning towards getting the Stratosphere (I love physical keyboards and fast internet ;D) but I'm worried that its single-core processor would cause it to be left to die sooner than other devices such as the X2. The fancy video-out and 8MP camera and all that on the X2 also make it seem like a more viable phone.

Given a device that features 4G and a single-core processor, and one with 3G but with a dual-core processor, which do you guys think would be rendered obsolete first?
[General Questions and Answers] watt9493:
The x2 will fall off the face of the earth because of locked bootloader and 3g. And infant dual core tech, blur, lack of updates.
[General Questions and Answers] sirspazzolot:
RIGHT. I knew there was something about that phone that turned me off in the past! Locked bootloader. But would the single-core processor in the Stratosphere endanger its longevity as well?
[General Questions and Answers] watt9493:
Not as much as almost no development. Single core is better for now IMHO until they refine dual core.
[General Questions and Answers] sirspazzolot:
Huh, I guess it's been PCs for so long, I didn't realize it might not be fully developed. Thanks for the input.
[General Questions and Answers] *GalaxyDev*:
Well Android 4.0 is the version that optimises dual core i would recomend this phones for a reason:

Motorola X2:its motorola you'll receive 2 updates if youre lucky and almost 0dev

SGS Stratosphere: Single core and first galaxy s(doubt youll have official ICS update that will make ROM port harder)

but if you need to choose between those two i would go for the stratosphere (will have less dev that a SGSII but more than the X2)

I am still on the stock radio 4.0.2 and was considering going to 4.0.4. I am pretty sure that it is a leak just like 4.0.3 was.

My question is how and when are official radios released? Do they come packaged in with ota updates? Are they released by Google? And lastly is the 4.0.4 radio an official release or a leak?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
If they're part of an OTA update then they become official I guess; however, the radios that are always floating around are proper radios that you can use. Just make sure you're flashing the correct one (LTE / GSM).

4.0.4 is a leak but it's official. :p (If yet, in theory, not a final "product").
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrt54gs7:
Hi all,

I believe that live wall papers used more resources compared with static background. I have set a live wallpaper as background. My question is, can I save a bit of power if I auto-switch background to static image when the screen goes off (Im using tasker) or does this have no effect on power saving since the screen is off? Does live wall paper still use some cpu/gpu cycles while the screen is off? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waddle:
I do not believe that live wallpapers use resources while your phone is asleep. And also they don't use that much battery life. Only about 2 percent everyday for me is from the live wallpaper. For the visual effects, it's worth it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macellaio:
Fairly certain that I read somewhere that live wallpaper processing is suspended on screen off. And the amount of battery usage while the screen is on will depend on how much stuff the wallpaper is doing. All in all, I think most live wallpapers are a drop in the bucket of total screen on time.

Hi,

I just want to share with the community. If you want to root a Gateway TP A60, follow the timmyDean's method from XDA but before starting, update Version.cfg file:

Line:

[PRODUCT]

1 = A500

to

[PRODUCT]

1 = TPA60W

Enjoy!

Chaton
[Acer Iconia A500] networkdawg:
This works? I upgraded mine to 3.2 before rooting it, silly me.. and have been looking for a way to do it.
[Acer Iconia A500] chaton78:
Well, it worked on mine after I accepted the latest update (last week of January).

You may have to install Gateway USB driver first. I don't know if it changed something but I did it before trying to update my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Good info to know. Gotta give a little love to Gateway.
[Acer Iconia A500] jwilliamg:
Turn your Gateway A60 into an Acer Iconia 500 and get ICS

For those of you who have a Gateway TPA60W (Acer Iconia A500 clone) and are desperate to get Ice Cream Sandwich, the way I was able to do it was to follow timmydean's method here to root the Acer A500.

Once you do that, your Gateway A60W will effectively become an Acer A500 and the only evidence left that it was ever a gateway tablet is the logo on the back cover. (Everything, firmware, device name, model number, splash screen when you boot, color scheme, etc will all list Acer as the manufacturer.)

After that step is accomplished, go to Google Play, download and install the Acer Upgrade tool that is necessary to get the ICS update. Once that is installed, go back to settings and check for a system update. You should then be able to download and install the official Acer ICS upgrade without issue.

Works like a charm.

But, as always, back up first!

Hey, I'm planning to root my dad's Gateway A60 and update it to ICS. Once I flash the device and get the 'P A S S' message on the tablet, what should I do next? Install BusyBox and SU tools, then Backdoor tool, then turn OTA off? Do I have to even do all that other stuff just to update it to ICS?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
It's not a serial number. It's supposed to be the uid number. There's an app with the tool that gets your uid.
[Acer Iconia A500] Porkchops:
Hey guys, I just bought one of these for my father in law, and was trying to get it updated/rooted/de-bloated, and it's firmware 3.0.1 at the moment. It's a TP-A60W (not sure if the W changes anything), but I keep seeing that everything is for firmware 3.2 and while the tablet tells me there is an update available, it will not install it - just fails everytime. So I'm wondering if I am safe to use this method on 3.0.1, or if there is some way I can work around to update it to 3.2 first, or if there is a different method safe to use on 3.0.1??

Thanks in advance!

Just curious to those that use Pandora in their car and forgive me if this is n00b thread but I'm looking for any input.

First off, I have had this phone since launch but have yet to put it under heavy use(lots of email, gps, bluetooth, etc). So I'm a bit cautious about wearing down my baby lol. To the heavy use users, is battery life still the same or are you seeing drastic changes on how long it last?

Second, what set up(modem, kernel, rom, etc) should I use to run Pandora as flawless as possible? I will mostly use it when driving through the city(weekends) so I hope to get better reception there than at home...

Again, sorry for the dumb questions but I would like some input. Cheers! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I listen to music via pandora in the car. the batteru drain is very light. At most, you use 5% in 30 minutes. (At least for me). I always have screen off when I play pandora, though. And I have good signal where I live.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Don't know about your second question, but anytime you use any phone heavily (lots of everything you mentioned) the battery is going to quickly drop. Flashing most ROMs will improve your battery life, but not so drastically that it will stand up to a day of heavy gps/bluetooth/4g/constant email & text etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wartouched:
Unfortunately the sad truth is that any smart phone under heavy use will have the battery drained under heavy use. I for one rarely leave my phone off the charger when one is available, be it in my house, work, or in my car. Like water in the desert you never know when your next charge might come. I would suggest investing in a car charger for you trips through the city. Not only will you not have to worry about battery drain while listening to music, but when you arrive at your destination you will have a nice and fully charged phone on what you can impress people with. Car chargers are rather inexpensive if you check on ebay. I got a wall charge, car charger, screen protectors and a tpu case for less then 5 bucks shipped. While the quality might not be as good as the sprint charger(with what seams like a 20 foot cable) it will get you by just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Sorry I wasn't clear enough guys!!!

What I meant by battery drainage was in the LONG HAUL, will recharging it over and over again damage it...as I understand it, most cell phone batteries have 1000 charges life span.

I do have a car charger that I rarely use unless I have to. Will leaving my phone connected to it WHILE using being harmful? I think thats my biggest question here..I have heard that using the phone while charging can spell bad news for your phone. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
Honestly I've heard stories of this happening to people, but it has just never happened to me. The batteries on all of my phones have had pretty consistent loss over time so I personally don't think you have anything to worry about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
I haven't noticed any significant loss in battery over time other than what naturally happens to all batteries whether you use them heavily or not. I'm always on my phone, streaming music surfing the Internet, using a car dock to recharge and it seems just fine still after having this phone since day 1 that it came out.

I couldn't tell you the best setup since right now I'm just running stock rooted sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a2tz:
And you can get a new oem battery off amazon/ebay for like $15. I've noticed some batteries lose their charge more then others but to me it always makes more sense to just keep it charged then buy a new battery later if I need to. I'm talking over a year for me before I can tell a battery gets worn out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I can say from my previous phone that over time if your a heavy user and you find yourself always searching for a charger while your on the go, your battery life will diminish and eventually the battery will swell.

My last phone a Zio from cricket, began with a battery that would last about 7-8 hours with me using it to text, listen to pandora for an hour on my way to work, check Facebook, XDA, etc...

After a while I had to charge my phone more often, eventually the battery could not last any longer than 2 hours 3 if I didn't use pandora.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cezell09:
Yeah. All lithium-ion batteries will eventually lose their vitality. It's just the nature of the battery. Constant use will definitely make this happen sooner but not soon enough to be a fear in the back of your mind. I actually need to replace my laptop battery soon because of this but it would happen sooner or later...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flyboy1100:
I find that after a few days in my phone, that my battery starts to drop faster, so i just swap it out for my spare and drop the spare in the phone. But usually between 2 days i will swap at least once.

The external charger always charges to 100% where the phone a we all know is flaky at best in charging.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zx3junglist:
luckily, this isn't an iphone or a razr, so if the battery goes to ****, you can just buy a new one. if I were you, i wouldn't think about it again. pandora away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammester:
One thing I did was if I am going to have it plugged into the charger and using it heavily I bought a cheap knockoff battery that I just throw in for this purpose only. Heat is one of the biggest killers of batteries and if you are using your phone heavily while being plugged in it gets very hot. I figure if I am going to kill a battery it may as well be a cheap knockoff one then the actual OEM one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CoppertoneSPF15:
I got the Motorola rapid car charger for my entire family. We all use the E4GT. Super cheap, $5 on Amazon (free ship with prime), charges at 950mA so it's every bit as quick as Samsung OEM, and it looks quite snazzy with the blue led window. Definitely top tier quality!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
No problems with GPS not working when charging? Mine did...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
I recommend using a profile locked at 500 or 800 max to get max battery life. Did this on a trip recently, 10 hour drive. Pandora or doubletwist and gps the whole way, no battery drop with screen on and charger plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brittlespeed:
Use the phone for what it's for. Don't worry about battery life since they are cheap enough to replace.

Noticed that it was dead. Went to charge it, nothing, no light. Stripped it down, took out the batter, put the battery back in, plugged it in, now it is taking a charge. Why?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
If the battery fully dies, it takes a while to recharge it enough to actually turn the phone on. Actually, in most cases, if the battery is completely dead, the phone itself wont even recharge it, you have to take it to sprint and have them put it on one of their machines to "boost" it enough for the phone to charge it.
