HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You gotta be kidding me.

You want the "open" nature of the device, but are on Verizon?

Right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Land Master:
Last I checked this thread had the word REVIEW in the title. Sorry you don't like what I have to say but this was my review and it was applicable to THIS device in THIS forum. And for the record I am now on my 2nd Nexus, I returned the first because of the same issues. So, I guess I just happened to get the only two that are bad.

If you have something valuable to offer I am all ears but this reply tells me nothing. I'm on Verizon because after using Sprint for 9 months in our new area we couldn't take it anymore. The service was terrible on EVERY device we own which is five. We moved to Verizon because of a nice 20% corporate discount and, for the record, the Call Quality on my wife's Razr is FINE.

Last I checked the bootloader on the Nexus is unlocked. I call that "open" and don't see how the carrier I use it on has any bearing on this discussion. If you have something pertinent to add then please do so.

Android 5.0 Jelly Bean may arrive as early as Q2 2012, supply chain sources claim, with Google apparently integrating Chrome OS functionality for dual-boot tablets and netbooks. Those aren’t the search giant’s only dual-OS ambitions, however; insiders tell DigiTimes that Google is pushing Android 5.0 and Windows 8 hybrids to its manufacturing partners, for notebooks, netbooks and tablets that offer the best of both platforms.

Although Google is yet to comment significantly on whether Ice Cream Sandwich has met its expectations in the market, it’s clear that Android 4.0 is yet to gain a significant foothold. According to Google’s own stats, as of February 1 2012 only 1-percent of devices were running ICS, with the majority still on Android 2.3.x Gingerbread.

The dual-booting Android 5.0 Jelly Bean and Windows 8 machines will be able to hot-swap between the two platforms, the sources indicate, rather than demanding a reboot each time. That would give users the opportunity to use Android for its web-centric functionality and speed, while switching to Windows would offer the various legacy and business apps many users still demand. Update: It’s worth remembering that Microsoft’s Windows 8 hardware requirements apparently block second OS installation on ARM-based PCs by users, thanks to a locked Secure Boot system, though it’s unclear whether OEMs are permitted to do so before the hardware leaves the factory. [Thanks Richard!]

Google is supposedly seeing Android 5.0 as a second chance at the notebook and netbook markets, Chrome OS failing to grab attention as expected, though the tipsters warn that the response to Ice Cream Sandwich has left some partners “conservative” about the new platform.

Part of Google’s challenge is encouraging timely OS updates among vendors. Motorola revealed its timescale for upgrading US Android devices yesterday, with most not expected to see Ice Cream Sandwich until Q3 2012 or later

I read the same thing a couple of times and i think androidcentral said it best. It will probably be announced and google I/O but not launch and until then its all rumors
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I get all my info about google's android version's from wikipedia

It looks like 5.0 will be mainly for tablets PC's and also dual cores. So I don't think the shift would benifit from it much at all.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
bu-bu-but Ice Cream Sandwich! I want it on my shift! It's the best OS evar!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
And you shall have it. Jelly bean is pretty much honeycomb all over again but better... Hopefully and thats if all these rumors are true
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yeah, comparing ICS vs HC or GB vs HC is like comparing apples to oranges for the shift. Right now GB is a lot better vs ICS until all the bugs get worked out and has funtioning 4G wimax.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I meant he shall have ics. If jelly bean is for tablets and honeycomb is for tablets then it may not be open source. It that is true it doesn't bother me seeing as i won't be getting a tablet for a good year or two whenever i see it actually having worth for me. I returned my HTC flyer cause i really didn't need it and bought a fourth 22 inch tv and the sony google tv lol

[EVO Shift 4G General] MrLinky:
Although UEFI has the capability to load a second OS without a hardware reset, every thing I have read to date indicates that Microsoft will require manufacturers to ship their product with a locked bootloader to earn Windows certification.

As Windows 8 (a total redesign just for tablets) will be competing directly with Android, I think initially dual-boot won't be an official option until Microsoft has either made a substantial amount of money (off of Windows 8 licenses) or has secured a large enough market share.

It is worth noting, however, that the locked bootloader requirement may only apply to ARM-based devices; x86 hardware may be exempt. Intel and AMD are making huge strides in their mobile CPU departments, and as Android and Windows 8 can both run on x86, we will be seeing a decent amount of Atom/Z-01 powered tablets soon.

Hi All

I've just bought a second HD2, and I noticed a specific ligne in the top of SPL screen (see picture joined).

Did you know what that mean ? And how to remove that ?

Thank in advance

Secaplus
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Device has been unlocked via software method.

Security unlocked means unsigned radios/ROMs can be flashed ect.

I believe Security unlock also removes CID lock so no need for HSPL to bypass CID.
[HD2 General] DJ_MiX:
Most likey unlock by xtc clip box.
[HD2 General] jc7300:
Security unlocked... Mine looks like this too (Tmobile)

[Nexus One General] test.im.09:
Hi,

I am trying to push

$ adb push androidvncserver /data/androidvncserver
failed to copy 'androidvncserver' to '/data/androidvncserver': Permission denied

When I do 'su' in 'adb shell', i get a root prompt , that means I have rooted my device, right?

$ adb shell
$ su
#

If so, how can I push to /data?

Thank you.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Your default shell is secured - means, when you're executing ADB command without executing something through SU, you're going through the regular permissions.

To enable insecure boot, set ro.secure to 0 in your build.prop. I'm not sure if it's enough, though, or if you need a kernel compiled with security off to take full advantage of insecure adb commands.

You can push the file to sdcard, enter shell, enter su, and in root shell copy the file where you want it to be.

And you're posting in the wrong section. There is Q&A for questions, please move there.

They announced:

«...new devices from these partners will receive the latest android platform updates for 18 months after their first launch, if hardware allows...»

But:

Source: link

And as far as I can tell, Motorola, member of the founding team,

announced the device Motorola Defy+ in August 2011 (that is a fair time after 2011 May 10),

launched it September 2011 (let's stretch it to 4 months before the launch of Ice Cream Sandwich),

with capable hardware (ask LG Optimus P970 and Lenovo Ideapad A1),

and has shown no hope for official latest android platform updates (ICS).

'nough said.

EDIT:

Truth be told, Sony Ericsson has done a great job untill now, they guaranteed Ice Cream Sandwish

for all their 2011 Android (some of those launched before 2011 May 10), we have a champion.

But the situation still a mess for the rest of the team... And same for others outside of the team.
[Android General] zelendel:
That is a great thing as long as your not in the Us where the manufacturers have no control over updates. The carriers have total control of what gets updated and what doesn't. Most carriers EOL the device after 4 months so this will not happen here.
[Android General] mrolp:
Maybe it could happen, I hear the founding team is a partnership from Google and 5 manufacturers (HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson) and 5 carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Vodafone).

I expect at least an apologize from those who did not fulfill the compromise.

Hello Frnds,

I flashed Xperiamod6 with DooMKernel on my arc... But when I tried to take backup of the particular rom in CWM it is giving me error as error in /sd-ext... :(

Can anyone tell me how can I take the backup?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilude56214:
Normally, it always skip that step, may be due to your particular rom. I think you should backup stock rom for safety :)

There is a network fix zip somewhere around here. I know its included in StrongSteves Rom but honestly Sprint is just slow and there really isn't anything imitation can do that is going to dramatically increase your speeds. Welcome to Sprint. Lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] In_da_buff:
ok - so I get that if I sync my Google contacts to my phone, I sometimes see a name or email address to someone I don't have saved as a contact. i.e. I put in a text and then put in a name and as I started typing the name, Steve, I saw the name of someone I emailed last year about some skis, Sam. I love how Google never forgets and saves names, numbers and emails of people you'll never contact again.

Anyhow, I cleaned up all my contacts and want to export them to my SD so that if I flash a new ROM I don't have to worry about losing my contacts. Some of my contacts don't have gmail/email/facebook, just names and numbers. I've done this in the past and when I import the contacts from my SD card - it ends up doubling or tripling up names in the contact list - all un-joined.

How can I export a clean list to the SD and import it back without creating 200 additional duplicate contacts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVAH0LIC:
Just clean and deal with your contacts from the Gmail site. Keeps things a lot simpler.

Epic 4G Touch perfected by Tiff and Calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I ran into the same issue myself. what I did was, cleaned up the contacts on my phone, export it to my SD card (it saves as a 0001.vcf file, but you can rename it if you want).

I was going to flash a custom ROM, so I wiped everything. And since you are flashing a new ROM yourself, its usually better to do a full wipe anyway. Once I got my phone up and running, I disabled sync contacts with my google account and made sure my contact list was empty. Then I just imported my saved contacts.

I backed up my SMS messages with SMS backup the same way, available for free in the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
If you go into contacts you can hit menu while in contacts and set it to

show only contacts with a phone number or such
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prasket:
I had this issue as well when i first came to the Droid world. I had all these weird contacts showing up when I would search a name for a text or what have you. Found out that I had Google set to save contacts I once had and deleted or even any email addresses that I had ever sent to. I went to contacts on gmail and cleaned everything out and set gmail settings to not save the emails anymore. Not sure if this will help you or not but I thought I would share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
There is an app on the market that will scan and fix duplicates, merge contacts, and other things. I forget the name but just search for "contact cleaner" and it should show up.

[Kindle Fire General] qryptiq:
@james

what does this mean to us?
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
It means the devs can finally enable bluetooth now that they can see error messages at the kernal level.
[Kindle Fire General] UrticantOwl:
Just to make sure I've got this right, are you referring to this thread? :D
[Kindle Fire General] csholmq:
That's great! So, just to be clear, are pins 3 and 4 both GND? No VCC? I can see from your plot that it's about 1V8.

Also, could you give some more specifics on the communication? I assume something like;

Baud: 115200

Bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop Bits: 1

Edit: Which connector are we talking about anyway? We only guessed it to be 4 solder pads. No connector. Are these the pins you're talking about?
[Kindle Fire General] -Homer-:
Does anyone know if it's possible to flash a new bootloader via the serial port?

My KF is dead since something went wrong while flashing FFF1.2 :p

- Homer
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
Yeah thats correct. Maybe we can get them linked together.
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
Yeah it may be possible. See if when you turn it on a USB connection appears for 2 seconds. If so, you can send x-loader over USB to it and boot anything you want.
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
I marked up this image to show the serial port location.
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
In the other discussion thread that I cannot reply to, they mentioned the 1.8/3.3V difference.

This will drop the 3.3V RX from the FTDI and divide it roughly down to 1.8V.
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
Also, I read the datasheet for the FT232R, and the VCCIO pin of the part (Pin 4), can be changed so that the I/O voltages are 1.8V. This is done by feeding 1.8V into pin 4.
[Kindle Fire General] _ante_:
Assuming that the TI chipset in the Jorjin module even supports Bluetooth. The available pictures from teardowns (namely ifixit.com's) show a model number WG7310-30 stamped on the module cover and inside that module, a TI WL1270B chipset. Unfortunately, the Jorjin site does not have information about this particular module but does for two others in this WG7310 series-- the WG7310-0A and WG7310-2A. The 0A uses the TI WL1270 chipset which is 802.11 b/g/n only and the 2A uses the TI WL1271 which has 802.11 b/g/n + BT 2.1 + FM. There's readily available information on the web for both of those chipsets (the WL1271 in particular, see TI's processor wiki or Omappedia) but I haven't seen anything for the WL1270B (try googling it with -kindle and -amazon). One interesting thing I've noticed looking at dmesg output on my own KF are references to the WL1273 chipset (which is what the Nook Tablet has in it I think?) and then there's this: pastebin.com/a4m6jc7T which looks to be dmesg output from KF (running a 2.6.35 kernel at) that showing BT drivers loading if title is to be believed. Hopefully somebody can finally get to the bottom of this now! :)
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
At my last job, I had to get a WL1271 going in Android, and oddly enough I am doing the same thing again at my new job too.

I did notice that the WL1270 does NOT have bluetooth as well, so its probably more than likely that the KF does not contain bluetooth.

I did try 'microcom' (a part of Busybox I built and installed on the KF) and tried all the serial ports (ttyO0 - ttyO3) and I didn't see anything out there, but of course one would have to enable the BT_EN line to the chip to wake that part up.

If it did have bluetooth, finding the BT_EN line would be a tremendous amount of fun though!
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
Where would one begin the search for said line? ;) I did get a kernel with BT enabled to at least start and load modules but it complained saying it couldn't find a bt device in /sys. Assuming the chip is ignoring such requests, where could I begin looking to 'wake it up'?
[Kindle Fire General] csholmq:
This is on 3.0, but it mentions BT as is implemented on a few places in the kernel. Don't know if it will spawn some ideas. https://github.com/KFire-Android/kernel_omap/blob/4AI.4/include/linux/rfkill.h
[Kindle Fire General] jamez70:
Wow.. it could be anywhere. A schematic would be the best bet.

I looked in arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-4430kc1.c but that did not show anything.
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
I actually found a few things... ttyO1 BLUETOOTH_UART_DEV_NAME. Says BLUETOOTH_UART is UART2 and CONSOLE_UART is UART3

also appears as if is_bt_active is set to NULL

so could that be what we're looking for?
[Kindle Fire General] _ante_:
I need a few more posts under my belt before I can insert links, but if you go to chipworks.com and click the "Chipworks Store" button (top right), you can type in "WL1270B" and search their report store. I'm not paying $200 for a photo of the die, but you can see from the description that is says:

Texas Instruments

WL1270B

Publish Date: Nov-11

The WL1270 is IEEE 802.11 b/g/n compliant power saving technology from Texas Instruments.

The only other WL127x chip in their catalog is the WL1271A with a description that clearly states that it provides mobile WLAN, Bluetooth, and FM on a single chip. This isn't absolutely 100% definitive, but it strongly suggests that the WL1270B is 802.11 b/g/n only. As for the lines in the code snippet from the last post-- not surprising, the driver in the stock rom probably supports a range of WL127x and WL128x chips.

Who knows, maybe we'll can still get lucky and one of these teardowns will show a different chip used in some production runs.
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
We'd just like to know if the kindle fire's chip has bluetooth or not and where in the code we can enable it if so. Its not like we're busting our asses to activate a non existent chip. Just looking for clues to find out if there is bluetooth or not. Lol.
[Kindle Fire General] AtomicFizzle:
Jamez70, have you had a chance to try the serial port probing with the modified kernel posted in the other thread? The suspense is killing me! I find this all very interesting. Thanks for all of your help!
[Kindle Fire General] csholmq:
This seems incorrect. When I do a calculation on this, I get 2.245 V :/

More correctly, I would substitute the scheme with this:

Voltage divider circuit (courtesy of calculatoredge.com)

Vin: 3V3

Vout: 1V8

Ra: 10 kOhm

Rb: 12 kOhm

According to Vout = Vin * Rb/(Ra+Rb)
