[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nathalie0226:
So GabrialDestruir, I initially used Albert Wertz root method using an sd card.

Should I re-root my NT using the same method as it is right now or should I un-root it prior rooting it again.

It's not that clear for me yet how I should proceed.

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
I'm looking into getting CLEAR's home internet service but I had a question for them first. I told them, "I am currently a Sprint customer with a 4G phone (my E4GT) and I am aware that Clear and Sprint use the same 4G network. I live in a very strong 4G area according to your coverage map and Sprint's coverage map, yet 4G signal doesn't penetrate my apartment. I have to step outside to get 4G signal. I am considering getting CLEAR home internet service but since my phones don't get 4G inside my apartment, would the same be true for CLEAR's home internet modem?"

They told me that even though they use the same towers and same technology, and that they built Sprint's 4G network for them, they are not the same signal. They told me CLEAR operates their service on a slightly different frequency and they don't share that network or bandwidth with Sprint 4G customers so I wouldn't be sharing the network with Sprint.

Is this all true or are they just trying to get me to sign up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
without knowing if this is technically true in any way...

i wouldn't trust a Clear rep with 2 cents, having dealt with them as a reseller for several years before dropping them for BS practices and dishonesty, and dealing with Other resellers lies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
Good to know. I'm not completely uninformed. I know that Clear operates on more frequencies than just the ones our phones are able to pick up on but from that to saying they don't share bandwidth or network at all with Sprint 4G customers is a bit of a stretch for me. I'm not so sure that's true...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I'm pretty sure there was a thread here on XDA that showed you how to change your WiMax MAC address so if you weren't on Sprint, you could use the MAC of your CLEAR modem in order to get 4G on your phone... So I'd think that the frequency is the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
One thing has very little to do with the other actually, because the same is true of Comcast 4G WiMax modems that use CLEAR's network. Changing the MAC address is simply a way of getting the network to recognize your device as active but it has nothing to do with frequencies. I've heard CLEAR operates anywhere between 2.3 - 2.7 GHz while our phones' center frequencies put us between 2.5 and 2.6.

There has been lots of talk here on XDA about changing center frequencies (especially on the EVO) to take advantage of a bigger range of frequencies, which leads me to believe these other frequencies are indeed in use. I don't know if anyone's been able to do it, though. But even if they are in use, I'm just not sure how true their claim is that those frequencies provide better signal, are faster, and don't share bandwidth with Sprint 4G. That last claim seems a little out there for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
Thank you! That was my worry, that if I didn't have Sprint 4G indoors, I wouldn't get CLEAR 4G either. You just helped. I'll give them a try and hope for the best. Worst case scenario, I'll return the equipment before the first 15 days are up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
You'll be lucky if they let you return the equipment within that window. One of my idiot roommates in college signed us up for their shady ass service in our apartment... We got one "bar" and 56k speeds. They would not let us cancel (even within the window) because we technically "had service". It took months to get that straightened out without having to pay cancellation fees... I can't remember how many conversations we had or how many techs they sent out... But hey, maybe they are different now? This was over four years ago... We ended up with Comcast.

Check out clearwiresucks.com
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
Thanks for the heads up. They assured me since there is no contract, I could cancel at any time within that window and get all my money back but I've made my decision and I am not going to get service with the. I gave their "Acceptable Use" policy a read and it sounds like a lot of double talk. "Unlimited but only under our terms and if we think you are using too much data we will throttle you without warning and we won't tell you what we deem is 'too much data'... blah blah blah."

I bet they copied-and-pasted that stuff from AT&T's stance on their customers who were grandfathered in with their unlimited plans.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
I think you made the right choice. Check out that site rofl
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Haha, CLEAR. What a joke of a company. Stay far away from their lies and shady practices.

I tried out CLEAR ~1.5 years ago, and they assured me I'd get good data speeds, but I would get even better speeds in about 1-2 months as they were going to build a tower even closer to where I live (the rep even gave me the cross streets).

Well, I got crap data speeds, and returned it within 2 weeks. And to this day, their data map still shows no new towers where I live.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polakowt:
Clear is terrible. Customer right now and I signed a contract. Can't wait to get out of it

Wow, I've yet to find someone who says something complimentary about CLEAR. So glad I'm staying away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
You guys don't know anything about Clear !!! If you want optimized download speeds, all you need it to rotate your modem ... problem solved... at least that's what they're saying here, and I can't stop laughing ...

http://www.clear.com/support/faq/connection-issues/connectionsignal/optimizing-your-connection

STAY AWAY FROM CLEAR !!!

Their lowest plan is $35/month for 1.5 Mbits/sec ... Even if this service would be $15/month, I would still have a hard time justifying the amount of money for the service. 3G runs at this speed (for me at home, not everywhere else) and it comes part of the service without additional cost, so why spend the money in the first place ???

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
So I finally decided to pick one of these up before the sale ends (yes, they are still half off at Verizon corporate stores). The stock battery provided "acceptable" battery life, but I was really apprehensive about losing the little hump on the back of the phone (and $25) for only ~13% additional battery.

So, in short: it's a good buy. Obviously it won't DOUBLE YOUR BATTERY LIFE or anything, but it kicks the phone up from right at the "acceptable battery life" line to the "good battery life" area.

When I first got the battery, I allowed it to charge fully before using it, and the first night of use was comparable to the stock battery, maybe a bit better. After letting it charge overnight, I got much better battery life the second day. I decided to cycle it a second time.

The first ~12% of the battery life on this cycle was used flashing a kernel and then recovering when that kernel created a multitude of issues. In short, I spent a good 20 minutes wiping dalvik, resetting app Cache/Data, fixing permissions, re-installing Nova, etc. It was a mess, and for this reason my battery stats neglect to show a good 15% of the beginning of the cycle, for which I apologize, but if anything this just makes my recorded runtime that much more impressive to me.

I historically get about 2.5 to 3.0 hours TOPS on my stock battery.

Disclaimer: I was on wifi 99% of the time, but was resetting my router when I took the screenshot, hence the 3G indicator.

On the second cycle with my extended battery, I got a pretty good chunk longer:

And again, that's with the first ~20 minutes of flashing/installing/chaos not recorded.

For what it's worth, I also got rock solid standby on the extended battery. When I went to bed, I consciously noted the battery at 42%. When I woke up 5 hours later (it sucked ok), the battery had only dropped to 41%. Seriously.

This is totally anecdotal and non-scientific of course, but based on my results (so far) and having heard similar reports from other members here, I would not be surprised to learn that either the stock battery is of poor quality/chemistry, or the extended battery is of higher quality. A 13% increase in capacity, by all means, should not provide such a drastic improvement in performance, but I'm seeing a 19% increase in screen-on time alone.

So, I don't claim to have evidence that there's more than a numeric capacity increase to the extended battery, but the real-world results are certainly pleasing, so I don't really care!

PS: I do miss the hump, but the extended battery/cover gives the phone a nice feel for its own merits :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Ya it's not a huge increase but I could tell the difference; definitely worth $25.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell12:
I left the house with full charge yesterday, the first day with my extended battery. I noticed I was down to 90% rather quick, checked for wakelocks and had none. As the day went on my battery life seemed to drain as it had with the stock battery. The extended battery didnt really "kick in" until I got down to say 10%. At this point it took longer than usual to drop down in percentage. I checked my battery stats @ 4% and again found no wakelocks, my screen on time was a bit under 2 hours (like stock battery), I really didnt notice the extended battery at all. I figured this would give me that bump to take my Nexus through the whole work period without having to do a quick charge in-between jobs (DirecTV Installer). I hope I get better life out of it today, like OP did on his second day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
These batteries take a couple charge cycles to get to full capacity. Give it a couple days and you will start to notice a difference. 1850mah to 2100mah is not that big of a jump though. It's not gonna get you a huge increase other than maybe about 10%-12% longer. I bought a desktop cradle that will charge the phone(it fits with the extended battery with the standard backplate) & has a slot to charge a spare battery. It's pretty handy because I can charge the phone and the stock battery at the same time and can easily change batteries if needed. I got the cradle on Ebay for $20. It shipped from Hong Kong, but surprisingly only took about a week. I bought it on the 2/17 and it arrived on 2/25(seller shipped it on the 20th so not too bad). Shipping was free. Here's a link: http://tinyw.in/RpFR

Here's another 1 from same seller. Different title, but the cradle looks exactly the same: http://tinyw.in/E6PN

Btw cordell12, I don't know if you remember me from the Evo 3D forums, but glad to see you over here. How long have you had the Gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
After a couple of charges I've noticed that the device does have a nice increase in battery life. Nothing to write home about, but that extra 10-15% is nice to have especially since I got it at the Verizon corporate store for the $25 sale. If nothing else though, the added weight (very minimal) and feel of the backplate complete this phone for me. Feels so much better in my hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
So you're getting almost 4 hours of screen on time? I think I can eek out 2 hours and make a full day with my extended battery. I'm thinking I got a junk one if I can't get at least 3 hours of screen on time.

Think if I get another battery, it'll work better than this one? Previously, I only used the stock battery, and that thing lasted me a good amount of time... and oddly enough, it felt like it lasted longer than this extended battery. I've been using it for over a month now, and I don't have many things syncing to my phone so it shouldn't be draining it as much.

I think I'm going to buy another battery, and if it doesn't work, then whatever I'll just have another extended battery.. Right? :p

I wish I could give you a good idea on what my battery life is like, but I feel like I get about 13 hours with 2:15 screen on time and that's with maybe.. 30 minutes of a light game and the rest of the time is texting/reading/surfing the web. I use Wi-Fi at least 70% of the time as well.

Right now, I'm at 10 hours and 40 minutes with screen on time at 25 minutes. The battery percent is 66. I feel as though that's pretty good, but to be honest with you, if I start using the phone or getting texts or anything, it'll drop extremely quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imompero:
I am not sure why this phone didn't worth this 2100 ma battery in the first place.

The increase in weight or thickness are so small that it's crazy that out was shipped without the bigger battery.....definitely worth the 25$
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Not quite. The battery (chemically) works best on the first charge and gets incrementally worse with each charge, exacerbated by exposure to high temperature. The phone, however, needs several large charge cycles before it calibrates to the battery. This is why the other poster didn't seem to notice a difference until he got to 10%. That's poor calibration. Eventually, the curve will straighten out and he'll see more accuracy. The battery will still cut out at the same voltage it did on Day 1, but he'll have a better idea of when the cutoff will come.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
I agree. It's really a no brainer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ro_explorer:
This is true for li-ion batteries AFTER the battery has stabilized. The battery needs to be reach a chemical balance in order to provide full charge/discharge efficiency. This optimum chemical balance is reached after first 3 to 5 charging cycles (even more for the cheap ones), depending on the exact chemical components used to fabricate it.

It only allows charging in portrait position, and some (if not most) application don't support portrait position..

Also if MHL to HDMI cable allows you to HDMI output directly from the tab, what's the point of docking this?

I've been trying to keep up but I know I've missed a few days. Has anyone found out how to root after the OTA update yet? I'd really like to get some Custom ROM's but not sure if it's possible yet.

Wondering the same thing.. trying a few methods now.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Unfortunately, after receiving the OTA you cannot run the One-Click root method, however, if you unlock and install Amon_Ra style recovery (find it in the Dev thread) you can reboot to recovery and go to "Developer options" and install Superuser from there to get root.
[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:

Install ClockWorkMod/Amon Ra

Install a rooted ROM

I had to re-install SuperUser from the market for some reason, but the AmonRa push for root/su worked like a charm.. I've been using CWM for so long with a Samsung device.. I really, really like AmonRa.. very slick.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
After rooting with Amon-Ra, downloading superuser/busybox from the market is necessary.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I've never had to download busybox. Wierd.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I did mine last night... After I rooted and starting adding more packages (like titanium backup), a new SuperUser Update showed up in the market which I applied. No issues with that.

Getting to root was involved more so with the HTC Bootloader Unlock as I had issues with clicking on the Button on their page to start the process (nothing happened).. Ended up moving over to Chrome to do it.

After that, it was easy though there are a few battery pulls along the way.
[HTC Rezound] meccha:
is there a chance of somebody releasing a "one click" root for people with OTA updates?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
It's super easy to root.

If you already have Amon Ra just navigate to the devoloper menu in that, then select install su. Done. :)

If you don't have Amon Ra, flash it, then navigate to the devoloper menu in that, then select install su. Done. :)
[HTC Rezound] meccha:
yeah, but the reason why i want to root first is because i need to back up using titanium. i dont wanna wipe everything. my phone is still locked.
[HTC Rezound] neckbonest:
you will need to unlock the bootloader before you can root. im prety sure, someone corect me if i am wrong
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, but I was addressing the question you asked, not the one you meant to ask. :p

Now if you don't want the factory reset from unlocking without being backed up, that's another story. And as mentioned above, you can't root until you are unlocked. That's the point of unlocking, to be able to root. Even with OneClick you ahd to be unlocked. ;)

MyBackup does not require root but will not back up all the data. It's a good program though, I have the pro version and use it. And I think it will back up your contacts and sms/mms without root, you'll have to check on that.

If you just want to back up apps without data AppMonster Pro is great. Restoring is nice and easy on the eyes and you can install from your sd backup or redownload from Market. One thing I love about it is that it backs up apps as soon as you download them.

I think those are your options for backing up without root. I would grab both of them. I use both regularly.
[HTC Rezound] meccha:
Really? I used CleanTool to temp root to disable sense before OTA update, so I thought unlocking is not necessary before rooting. Oh well I guess I am out of luck for backing up my data.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I just used Amon RA.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, the temp root was the solution for before HTC unlocked the bootloader. You mentioned OneClick before, that's for perm root and no longer works after the OTA.

And yeah, iirc, there's no more temp root since the OTA. That would've allow you to back up, then unlock and root and restore. I think that's what you were getting at...

To install any theme, you will need to install a custom ROM.. if you want to stay close to stock experience, you can get started by installing Unnamed or SHOstock. Once you install a custom ROM, you should find that ROM-specific themes.

And before you install any custom ROM, you will need a custom kernel (like Entropy's DD kernel or Siyah) to get a recovery like CWM or Redpill. You need recovery like that to install any custom ROM.

So.. read, read, read before you flash anything. All you need is patience.
