You should try the AOKP version because it's as stable as CM9 and I think that CM9 dosen't have something more than AOKP ;)

Hi i just got a question so im getting ready to cancel my tmobile contract i did hemidall one click stock did i also had to check bootloaders and do again or no?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Is your phone working? If yes your bootloaders are fine and go return it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I would use kies if you are going to return it... that makes it 100% stock... no questions asked...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Raver made a 100% Stock GB ROM. If you use Kies mini you will need to flash back to Pure Stock Froyo then do the upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I believe the sgs4g is still being sold with 2.2; therefore, it would be in his best interest to flash back to froyo and not do the update. Otherwise, Tmo might not take the phone back...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I am pretty sure it's ok to send the phone back with the updated ROM provided by T-Mobile and Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I wouldn't be too sure of that... Encountered a similar issue with my old blackberry. I updated it to 6.0 (supposedly bb's reply to android) but I found it had a battery issue. So I took it back to get a different phone (sgs4g) after having the bb for 3 days, and they wouldn't take it back. I had to downgrade it back to 5.2 in order for them to acept it... Has to be in the EXACT same condition as when you bought it per the Tmo agreement...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
We have some people on here that sell phones... I bet they let us know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
Actually my phone came with 2.3.6 from a tmobile seller/friend i saw him cut open the seal to show phone, its quite funny he gets tons of customers but nothing is in his store like phone display and such just a desk or two.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Then you should be ok...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
But my phones preloaded with inception movie when i click on the icon it says is missing!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You deleted inception from the sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
So would tmobile still take my phone if they check also what do i pay if i got the first monthly bill but not 30 days yet in cali i can cancel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
That's would be a question for tmo customer service... Not here... Stay on topic...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
I called tmobile im able to cancel my contract abd keep my phone.which i paid 125 for now should i keep this phone or try to sell
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I think that's more of a personal decision. I know you can use FBs carrier unlocker script to unlock it for use with other carriers if you like the phone.

Also, please add [SOLVED] to the title of this thread.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
Im fine with tmobile been thinking i mean other phones got.better roms but all we need is just a single decent rom which vahalla black final does greatly a broad question but im just wondering when ics will come i know we got miui in development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Is anyone interested in dedicating some time (at their own risk) to test out if the OTA 4.0.4 will manually patch on an encrypted phone? I was able too without errors, but my phone was already 4.0.4. I lost root so it appears to write to the encrypted partition.

Here is what I did:

CDMA/LTE 4.0.2 Gnex with bootloader unlocked, rooted or unrooted, stock recovery, stock everything else, but device is fully encrypted and you know the password :)

(Assumes you have working ADB AND Nexus Toolkit 5.3 and assocated drivers)

Start state:

USB debug on

Phone booted into android

1) Launch Nexus Toolkit and select 4.0.2 LTE, option 6.

2) Load insecure boot image via push menu/command of nexus toolkit:

select option 14

THEN select "no"

-phone will reboot to fastboot

-phone reboots into android, enter your encryption password.

3) Close Nexus Toolkit when it asks you what file you want to push. (ctrl c, then select "y", then enter)

4) Manually use adb commands as such (assumes update.zip is the 4.0.4 30MB OTA file):

adb devices

adb push update.zip /cache

*above command may take 20-30 seconds to transfer the 30MB file)

adb reboot recovery

You should see the Android bot with a red exclamation point, Hold power then hit volume up.

Use the volume up and down to select and apply update.zip, select the update.zip file.

Wait for the update to patch, THEN select reboot phone, enter encryption password.

All done

Feel free to re-root your phone in the Nexus Toolkit (option 4), just make certain you use 4.0.4 LTE/CDMA when the Toolkit starts and put your phone in first fastboot. Thankfully the Toolkit gives the phone plenty of time to boot up considering startup takes twice as long to boot and you have to enter a encryption password.

If nobody bites, I can understand. I'm just too busy this week to test it out fully and write a guide. Maybe next week when I have free time I will wipe the phone and downgrade to 4.0.2 and really test this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
Just out of curiosity, why not just use adb instead of the toolkit, especially if you are going to want to write a guide for others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Ultimately I would rather the Nexus Toolkit include support for it.

I would rather there be less ADB and more automation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I wiped my phone and removed encryption. I downgraded to 4.0.2 and encrypted the phone. I was able to apply the 30MB 4.0.4 ota and maintain encryption and my files and settings without a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mipmapped:
Worked great for me. Stock encrypted 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 IMM76K (lost all patience with Verizon). Did hang on first boot after typing password, but after a heart racing battery pull it started correctly, performed the application upgrades and booted into Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Encryption encrypts the userdata partition ONLY. It does not touch system or cache. So yes, an update will work, because an update only updates the system (and sometimes boot, radio and bootloader) partition, not userdata.

The only issue is you can't flash it from /sdcard (which is actually /data/media) because that resides on the userdata partition which is encrypted. But you can flash it from the cache partition, as that is not encrypted.

If you have root: (1) just move the update file to /cache and (2) boot the stock recovery.

If you do not have root: then your procedure is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timgurnsey@gmail.com:
Has anyone start encryption after upgrading to 4.0.4?

I reset my device to 4.0.2 (without encryption) to upgrade to 4.0.4. Now, when I try to start encryption, it just restarts the device and never goes through the encryption process...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
So I am getting my new Verizon Nexus on Tuesday, what should a new nexus owner do? I think people say root it even if you dont want to use it as that would prevent wiping the device. So I plan to root it. Do I need to root it before or after activation?

Plus we are actually getting two nexi, one for me and one for wife. Can I make same profile for both phones this way dont have to double pay for apps? Thats what we did with webOS/Palm. Is that possible, same marketplace info on both phones with different emails, calendar and stuff.

Sorry this is my first time using androiid so asking very basic questions. :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
If you want to change your ROM or bootloader later, the first thing you need to do is to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your device from all user data.

IMHO there is no immediate need for root. You can go without and root it anytime you like or really need it.

And yes, I think you can have 5 devices on your Android market account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes the device, not rooting. Those are 2 different things.

As far as sharing apps and things, you're going to need to do some interesting setup for that. I suppose the best way to do it is to have 1 account you both use for the market, then you each get another account to use for personal info, contacts, email. Otherwise you'll be sharing contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
Great thanks, I will unlock the boat loader though I dont like ROMS.

1) Is it easy to unlock the boat loader?

2) should I unlock it before or after activation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I would not recomend rooting right away especially for a new user! Read read read is the best advise you will recieve. If you find the need to root for reasons you know then do it. Too many people root without knowing what it means or why they are doing it!

You can use the same gmail account on both phones yes, that way you won't have to double pay for apps. Usually contacts, calendar, gmail & such sync to your account. I havent had personal experience with sharing devices but I know you can have more than one Google account on one phone. So this is what I recomend: set up 3 Google accounts. One that will sync your contacts email calendar, one that will sync your wife's contacts email calendar, and one to buy apps on only and share that one!:)

Edit: looks like some others beat me to the draw lol, I'm not the fastest types especially on this tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
You need to unlock it

first

. Unlocking makes your phone like a new out of the box device. It is very very easy. Google built a way for specifically doing this into your GN via the "fastboot oem unlock" command. Forum search will find you plenty of guides for how to do this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
1. Yes it is you will see a "toolbox" pinned in the development section.

2. It shouldn't matter. And you don't even nesesarily have to do that, especially not wanting ROMs and not knowing yet what root is or if you want it. Don't let the others peer pressure you into it. Many here enjoy the stock experience!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I would suggest reading through this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19177629&postcount=1

It will give you a good background to unlocking, rooting, etc.

I would suggest running stock for a while until you are comfortable with android and have read up on how to tinker with your phone. As someone who has had multiple android phones and have ran custom roms on all of them, I am perfectly happy running stock on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
In short: outside of ROMS what is the use of unlocking boot loader and rooting? The reason why I put my webOS phone in developer mode was the patches, I could download a new calendar, or make the functionality of stock browser better or change the way screen looks, does unlocking on android does the same, does one even need to do anything to the stock 4.x or the stock version is pretty good?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
The stock is pretty good! 4.0.4 leak is better IMO, which is also pretty much stock, just an unreleased one. There are many calendar, browsers, and lock screens to download in the Market and you will not need an unlocked bootloader to do so. I think you should play with it and enjoy what you get with stock and then decide if you need more/ different and then find out what the requirements for those changes are. You will def be happy with stock ICS compared to WebOS!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I ALWAYS recommend rooting. But if anything just unlock the bootloader and leave it at that. It kinda sucks when it wipes your device AND SD card space after using it for months.

As far as not double paying for apps.... do this:

Create your Google account

Create her Google account... make hers default on her device.

Add your account to her phone as secondary and turn off contacts/gmail sync. It allows you to access the same apps and market stuffs but keeps yours and her email and contacts separated. Her contacts and gmail will sync as normal. I've been doing it for my wife for a long time.. but Google only recently made it real easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aysiu:
The point of unlocking is that if you later want to root, you'll have to have it unlocked, which will wipe all your data. If you're going to wipe all your data, might as well do it when you first get the phone than when it's all set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Dante=-:
I know this is really basic but the very first thing I would do (even before you get your phone) is make sure you have all of your contacts in Google contacts. Import them in and clean them up as necessary, I find it much easier on a PC. Then when you log in on your phone they will all just be there and you won't have to worry about doubles.

You can also look into uploading music and photos through Google Music/Picasa.

Good luck with your new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Don't root and unlock the bootloader without reading, but don't put anything on the phone that you don't want to lose as unlocking the bootloader wipes the device.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Ok, Im kinda stuck here. I installed a video player that finally ran wmv files, but does not open correctly sometimes. By mistake I set it as default player and have not been able to reset the option.

I have gone through the logical basic process of going to manage applications and clearing defaults but in all video audio programs this option is grayed out. I even downloaded DefaultApp Manager but even there options are empty for viedo and audio. I did clear all caches through CWM and still the same problem.

I was wondering what can I do to at least recover the option to choose a default program for certain types of files?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Do you have any other options installed to choose from? Maybe try uninstalling the video player, then install a different player and try to watch a video. It should ask which player to use. Then you can re-install the other video player and just don't set a default so you can choose which to use for different video types. Which player is it? Try Mobo Player v5 it has ARM 7 optimizations and can play many different types of video, supposedly including .wmv files. Or if you are streaming from PC, try Qloud Media Server, which converts your videos on the fly to an android friendly format. Both work great for me, but I don't have any .wmv videos.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Ok found a solution. The default settings go back to ES explorer which is the file explorer I use. Messing with its settings found one saying reset app defaults! Ta da!!! I could choose my player again.

Tested Mobo player as u mentioned. Very nice!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scienceisgod:
Hey folks,

Bit of a noob question I am sure, but if y'all could humor me... :o

Been using Webkey for a while to remotely control the EVO. I run Ubuntu and am looking for something that will give me direct-connection control over the EVO on-screen (mouse, keyboard, etc) without the lag that comes with Webkey or access over WiFi.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scienceisgod:
Not trying to be impatient, just curious.. does the lack of response mean there isn't anything better than Webkey?

Splashtop works fast on win7 I've not tried it on Linux cuz I can shell in manually but ill see if its compatible

Looks like its PC and Mac only its pretty quick for using it on win7 I can do anything from PC to phone or vice versa from anywhere as long as they are both online I use it to snag files for work when I'm out

We are legion, for we are many
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scienceisgod:
Thanks. I have a setup that dual-boots. I'll give it a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scienceisgod:
Sorry, I just realized I may have phrased my question wrong.

I am looking for something that I can use primarily when my phone is right in front of me (instead of remotely when my phone is elsewhere.)

I am looking for the fastest possible interface up on screen (which I am assuming would be if I plugged it directly into my PC) This is primarily so I can use my monitor as the screen for a bigger display and my PC keyboard for faster typing.

If "shell-ing in manually" would accomplish this, can you point me in the right direction so I can learn about it?

I know, noob question. Thanks for all your help! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
HDMI cable and a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard would probably be the fastest for right there at the PC or HD TV IMO

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
First of all, sorry for my bad english.

Well, since I installed 2.1.8 i'm having troubles with battery drain. Sometimes, full battery drain in about 3 or 4 hours. I've noticed that this happens only when i've got wifi or data enabled, and with a data usage monitor i saw that the phone consumes mb constantly!! :S. I've updated to 2.1.9 and naa kernel 11, but, this still happening. I made full wipe (and battery stats too) and clean install and the same... and I don't know what 2 do!! :S Somebody knows anything about?

thank you so much!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
1. turn off wifi and data if you dont need them.

2. check battery health

3. do battery calibration

4. use battery saver apps like juice defender.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
Thank you for your answer!! Well, I try to disconnect from wifi and 3g when i don't use them, and I've checked battery health and i's ok, and I tried to calibrate battery too, and it didn't solve it! I think juice saver like programs don't make magic!

So, I don't understand why since nAa10 kernel its havint that issues!! :S
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
Maybe you can post a screenshot of what is using the battery?

1. settings

2. about phone

3. battery use

Post those stat so we can figure out what drainning the battery.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
Thanks for your answer! Yes, I did it and well, it says that the highest battery drain, as always, is produced by screen. But the thing is that the drain only happens when I activate 3G. It never happened me before. With 2.1.7 and older, battery lasts for 13+ hours with 3G on, but now, p.e., in 2 minutes of 3g connection battery charge went from 99% to 91%. I tried to make full wipe of the phone and reinstall one by one apps, trying to install only essential apps, but still doing the same! :S

Sorry, here are snapshots:

I've made a wipe and install again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
i cant really say why there is a drain but can you try undervolt and see what happens? the second to the last option showing on your first screenshot.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] giggx:
Hello,

I have got the same problem. Same Kernel Version naa-11.

I really would like to know, how much percent display-usage should have.

Can somebody with no battery-problem look?

Sorry for my english, not native speaker.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
Thanks for answer! Actually, I've always had undervolt activated, but today tried without it, and the same! it was spectacular the drain a couple of hours ago, in 45 minutes, battery went from 100 to 59!! Without touching it!!! :S

Here's another screen capture:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabioleroy:
Hi,

I had the same problem. I fixed by installing and using another launcher. I'm using now GO Launcher EX instead of the MiniCM builtin. The battery life is now about 48 hours.

BYE!

F;
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
Thank you so much! I use Go Launcher EX too!! so, for me that's not the solution!! :) Thx again!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppino:
I have 49% of Display usage in a day of almost no use, only 2 calls and some minutes playing Bubble Blast 2 :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] giggx:
Thanks for your answer. The 80 percent usage has to do with my usage of the phone.

I thought the indicator shows the energy that the phone uses for displaying now at the moment.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
That is strange. Ive gone from 100 to 20 in 12 hours. Probably not rom/kernel related. did you do automatic updates with your apps? i think it has something to do with you net connection. since you mentioned drain is happening when they are in use. could be the apps trying to check updates from the server or frequency of your apps updating like facebook or other apps?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ttocs99:
I had battery drain it sorts itself out atfter a week or so flashing a new rom only tips I have is turn down screen brightness turn off background data bluetooth gps and wifi get rid of dsp manager use undervolt and use it when u need too basicly.

If u use it for 44 mins strate with data on and stuff its going to drain alot hope this helps

P.s I dont leve my pro 2g I leve mine on 3g it doesnt really affect battery that much unless I leve data on
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] linex2004:
Well guys! I think I've found a solution!! That's what I did:

First, CPU and governor are set like this --> InteractiveX 122-600MHz, Undervolt

Then, in accounts, uncheck whatever I won't use

In apps like facebook, twitter and something like that, disable autoupdate. You'll still receive notifications because they use push and don't need to search for updates.

and Yesterday, battery went from 100 to 20% in about 11h... And with bluetooth and Wifi on everytime!!

Thanks for all your answers, guys!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
thats it the auto updates are the culprit. glad you sorted it out. mine is at 70% after 15 hours. but i havent used it that much
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fabricionline:
I have the same problem since 2.1.7 MiniCM! I'm seriously thinking about going back to 2.1.6!
