[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
after running noupdates

Oh, btw if after running no updates you get the ota update message click accept and then let it try to update. It won't be able to so just reboot your phone and you'll never get that message again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lunchboxVA:
i tried running the noupdates and it errored out said the file didnt exist any suggestions

can i click on the system update message when system updates are frozen...will that make it go away?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
That's strange, when I do it it reads "updates from com.Samsung disabled"

And yes once updates are disabled accept the update it will try to install and then fail.after that you just reboot and you'll never receive the update again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
hey guys, does anyone know of an app that lets you use Hulu for free without a hulu plus account? it could be an app or even a browser. Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stickerbob:
There used to be a modified version of Flash floating around the Nexus One forum. It was modified specifically for Hulu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
could you link me to it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Znomon:
just tested the one from the nexus 1 forum and i can confirm that it doesnt work on MoDaCo 4.0.4 LTE.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh1r0:
Hi guys,

do you know how to port Samsung's Ebook & File Manager on an ICS Rom?

I've tried to install the apks but they force close!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
These apps require the touchwiz framework. They won't work on ICS, at least not until Samsung releases their 4.0 touchwizzed ROM (and, really, who's going to use that over CM9?) I like the ebook app also, but there's lots of other good readers. Try ezPDF reader or the Kobo app. As to the "my files" app; that one is garbage anyways (the interface was nice, but who cares: it's a file explorer). Get ES file explorer. Much more there, especially if you want to stream from your network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
I flash quite a few Tom's and kernels etc but is it possible to damage hardware doing this? Recently my phone got really slow and laggy so thought if I do a full wipe it would be fine

Nope!

Flashed a few different Rome and stuff and still slow

Its only slow when unlocking and scrolling through homepages, apps seem to run OK but things like pulling the status bar down is a slooooowwww!!

Wasn't sure if one of the cores could be damaged or gpu or memory and can't first d any test apps to find out if there's any failure

Anyone know why it might be like this? I usually use aokp with nova launcher and trinity kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The act of flashing lots of ROMs and Kernels isn't going to damage your hardware. But there is a higher chance that you've crossed up some things or made a bad combination and flashed to your phone that's making it slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Let me guess you ran the 512 trinity kernel.... And you wonder why your gpu is having a hard time.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
Well I did run that for a while, could that have fried it? Only ran it for a few days though and never played any games
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuentzler:
I've been using SleeperRom 2.0.4 as my daily driver for a while now and it's been perfect, but ever since Rdio updated its app i've been having playback issues. Most of the playback issues were fixed with subsequent updates of the Rdio app, but one that has not been fixed is that after playing 2 songs of an album, playback just stops. So every 2 songs I have to open the app back up and manually tell it to go to the next song.

I've thought for the last few days that this was just an issue with the app, but I went ahead and did a clean install of CleanGB, CM9, and SleeperRom to test it. and after the clean install i did not have the playback issue on CleanGB or CM9, the issue is only reoccurring on SleeperRom.

If someone uses Rdio, can you please test this with sleeperrom to see if you are having the same issue? I can give you steps on how to reproduce the issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuentzler:
I've taken the test a step further to see if it's the kernel.

Running on cleanGB with cleanGB kernel it works, and then I flashed ShadowKernel which is used on SleeperRom, and everything still works fine so it seems like the issue is isolated to SleeperRom.

Any other suggestions on how to test this further?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuentzler:
No suggestions? I know you guys have SOMETHING.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Uuummmm seems like he has tweaked the rom for a higher amount of free ram after those two songs it closes? Id say just don't use sleeperom since its isolated to just it?

Sent From My SPH-D700 Running Android 4.0 :sly:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuentzler:
The app doesn't exactly crash, it just stops playing after two songs. I have to manually skip to the next song.

I'm using CleanGB for now, which is also a great rom, I was just partial to Sleeper.
[General Questions and Answers] tellet:
Hi, i've been thinking about the past and the present, and i've realized that android, no matter how good it is, is killing the beautiful differences that taken place when phones like Touch hd, HD2 were on top.

Why do I think that? Let's go back in time to 2009- the HD2 comes out, and becomes a flagship product of the HTC, people are happy, developers are making lots and lots and lots of fixes and upgrades. As we can see now, the HD2 is still one of the most active boards on xda, with new roms and builds coming every month.

Now look at the present time- HTC released tons of new smartphones, the 7 series and the other ones, which names i didn't even remember... The point is that now, every device equipped with android (i'm not sure about wp7 but i think its likely to be the same) differs from others only by screen size or the processor, now every app is the same, every phone looks like it's been cloned from another.

HD2 looks like it's personalized specially for one owner- it has it's own programs made specially for this one machine (like tcpmp and the other ones). The new ones look like cheap machines sold for 5$- each looks the same. At the moment, the HTC doesn't have a phone, that could become a flagship product like hd2 was and that's sad, cause it doesn't seem to change.

Well, it had to be a small IMHO and it grew up to a large lecture, anyway, what do you think? Does the android make a homogeneous mass from every phone? Or maybe do you think I'm crazy?
[General Questions and Answers] MissionImprobable:
The market is certainly diluted. There are a ton of generic devices clogging things up, and honestly there are even too many quality phones, which to your argument, limits how often updates come out and spreads out the field for aftermarket development. It's also cost in terms of hardware in certain areas, as manufacturers aren't going to maximize sound output or still/video capture quality when they know it's only going to be one of ten devices bringing in revenue. If manufacturers would focus on one or two flagship devices and two or three mid-to-low range devices this would be much better all around.

Handsets are also dropping with far too much frequency. I'd rather see quality development than to have pretty good devices come out every few months and then get ignored once the newer phone hits the market. If it weren't for developers bringing out MIUI/Cyanogen, etc to give us the latest features I can't say that I'd stay fully satisfied with the devices.

I understand that people love different features, but there's no reason I should be presented with 34 Android-based phones when I go to look for something new, and that's just from Verizon alone. Over all of the major carriers we're talking about somewhere in the neighborhood of what, probably 75-85 current market android phones? That makes zero sense what-so-ever. The number of models needs to be scaled back so that one, casual users don't feel overwhelmed with the choices, two, updates can remain current and there can be a focus on developing quality product, and three so that aftermarket developers can streamline their work and know that what they code will work smoothly across the platforms available.

It's raining androids right now, and someone needs to stem the tide.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thecontrolm7cl:
So as it is obvious i am on the charge right now but have an opportunity to upgrade. My initial thought was to go for the nexus! i mean an aosp experience android 4.0 it makes sense. But then i found another phone i think rivals the nexus. The rezound has a great community following, and multiple 4.0 ports. Some major differences are 1.2 GHZ dual core vs. 1.5 Snap dragon. Screen size(technically speaking) and a few different things like screen resolution and such but i'm wondering what other people thought.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
having a Nexus and having played with a Rezound I would go with the GN, it beats the Rezound in pretty much every category but the screen where both are pretty nice (GN a bit better though)... however they are both solid choices and if you like the size of the Rezound or the Beats or Sense then go with that, I'd try both of them out for a day or two if I was you and not get one based only off of recommendations :)

if you have any specific questions about the Nexus I'll answer

blazing through on my Nexus Prime via XDA app
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I agree that they are both nice phones.

Part of it comes down to the display if you are display whore like me.

Most people probably wouldn't notice or care about pentile, but I personally feel that the pentile annoys me as much or even more than the fact that the Rezound has an LCD display.

I would check into enhancements by Supercurio so see what he has brought to the table for display mods/tweaks. Check into Voodoo Display Tuning.

In any case, don't get one without actually trying them out.

Personally, I'll wait for the GS3. If Verizon gets the GS3 AND doesn't screw it all up, I think it will be worth the wait.

Also, don't forget to look at the LG Spectrum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
If it were me i would go with a maxx. The phone is good enough for me and that battery would last so long. Of course i wouldn't really need a custom kernel on that (i only use one on the charge for ext4 and uv, which i wouldn't need on he razr.

Sent from my pocket-sized, Linux-based computer using electromagnetic radiation... and Tapatalk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
LOL LG

no in all seriousness though the Spectrum would be a good deal as a beginning 4G phone or for someone who's not into rooting/roms... the radios are solid, its very snappy, screen is nice and its a nice size the only complaint would be the UI... its very touchwizzy and bogs the phone down occasionally but otherwise its not a bad choice either (oh except for LG's OS upgrade timing as well, like Samsung in that regard but if that doesn't matter than disregard)

blazing through on my Nexus Prime via XDA app
[Verizon Droid Charge] thecontrolm7cl:
i figure the nexus is probably what i would get a lot of opinions but i just dont know that i am ready to go with the 299 i know very well that which i got it would be rooted and rommed in a few days so whether or not it is sense is of no purpose. i've used both somewhat but its not the same when they aren't mine ya know? Honestly the biggest draw of the nexus is that it is AOSP and will continue to be ya know?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
The Spectrum has a fantastic screen, but an awful custom UI, bad battery life, and a mediocre build. The Rezound isn't bad at all (biggest downside is that it's super chunky), and despite the sub-par screen the RAZR Maxx is actually quite nice, but if you're getting a phone now you'd ultimately being doing yourself a disservice getting anything other than the Nexus.

Sure, the phones may all seem at least somewhat competitive right now, but you need to think about the future, especially if you're on a 2-year upgrade cycle like most people. No phone, from any company, will get official updates as quickly -- and more importantly, for as long -- as a Nexus device.

Me, I'm waiting to see what gets announced at MWC at the end of this month, because the quad-core Tegra 3 devices we know are coming up will be way more future-proof than the current crop of dual-cores. The question is just when Verizon will get one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
IMO u should wait for the GS3. Thats what Im doing. I think that nexus, rezound, and maxx all have big downsides IMO that hopefully GS3 wont.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
I'm sure even the SGS3 will have one or a few downsides. No phone is perfect. :)

That being said, I don't necessarily see the point in waiting for it to come to Verizon considering the SGS2 didn't.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
People keep talking about quad core, I just wonder what are you going to do with quadcore. Dualcore is plenty of power for a phone. 99% of the apps not even support dual core and it will take awhile to get there, the only thing I see with quad core is you're going to pay extra cash for something just make you feel good, but no functional for anything!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
something to do with battery life, quad cores run more efficiently... idling on 2 cores for all but the most power hungry apps or something like that

blazing through on my Nexus Prime via XDA app
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
This all speculation, my PC with more core, I need more cooling power! Law of physic more power, more heat. I think they are going to make more capacity(mah) for the same given battery size.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bwheelies:
I vote for razr. By far the most polished software experience, stock for stock, and screen was good enough IMO to jump the Samsung ship.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
OEM UI's on ICS?? OHGODWHY.jpeg

lol really though while I have to say that the razr is nice for those who don't want to root, battery situation, locked bootloader and the possibility of BLUR SANDWICH will steer most others away...

[Verizon Droid Charge] kgbeezr1:
I went from the Charge to the Bionic, then to the Rezound. Two add-a-lines later and ~$650 in ETF's hanging over my head and I bought another Charge - I missed it too much. I was tempted by the Nexus, but the lack of removable storage kills it for me...I want the option of taking more than 30gb of stuff with me.

Don't put too much stock in the idea that a dual-core processor gives you better battery life, or noticeably more speed. Neither the Bionic or the Rezound were faster than the Charge to any real noteworthy degree, and battery life, while marginally better on the Bionic, was still poor overall. The pen-tile screen on the Bionic stunk, and while the Rezound's screen is very smooth from dead center, colors look pale and the viewing angles are terrible. Nothing beats the SAMOLED+ on the Charge. The "Beats Audio" on the Rezound is just a built-in preset EQ curve, easily reproduced on any other phone. Strictly in terms of sound quality with good headphones the Charge is in a different league - no hiss, no whines, cleaner, better, louder sound. Both the Bionic and the Rezound have the high pitched whine/interference, although not as bad on the Rezound.

Right now on Verizon there's no phone i'd rather have...when I took my new one out of the box it was like a huge feeling of relief. I won't be forsaking it again until something clearly, substantially better comes along.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
You're assuming that all the cores in a mobile device are activated all the time, which is completely wrong. It's not speculation, it's been measured: Tegra 3 uses almost 60 percent less power than Tegra 2 in general because whenever it's in standby or other low-intensity modes it switches on a fifth low-power companion core and switches off the primary cores. Then, if you do need extra power, it dynamically kicks in the other cores as needed, whether that means activating a single core, two cores, or all four.

And as for the speed difference... even on the fastest dual-core devices, Android still lags every now and then. Try using the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and then the Transformer Prime -- there is a definite difference in speed and animation smoothness using the same OS. Everything is faster on a quad-core device.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Isn't ICS also optimized for multi-core devices? If so, the dual core on GN and quad on Transformer Prime should be much better than say Bionic for example.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MidnightNinja:
I think the gnex is worth it, partly because it will be supported by samsung/google for 18 months. Seeing as most of us are locked into two year contracts, it also eliminates the need to buy a new phone in 6 months when the current new phones arent really supported
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Take a look at this article. Basically they said that the power drain is from screen size, ram and LTE4G. Quadcore may only consume a little bit more battery power (but NOT saving power). They definitely need bigger battery just like I predicted. In theory, dual core should save power better than single core (same as your theory, one sleep, one working), but that's not the case. I found that when you use your phone, they all kick in for speed and smoothness whick translated into more power consumption.
