You're checking the Google Voice app, right? And you have the settings in the Google Voice app to have background sync, and notify you of new messages?

if you want the GV messages to show up in your regular Messaging app, then you have to configure that in the Google Voice app. Weird thing being it'll apply a seemingly random number for each contact when it "forwards" from Google Voice app to the Messaging app. If I were you I'd just use the GV App to save yourself some troubles.

Another level of troubleshooting is to simply go to www.voice.google.com and make sure your settings are correct, and you can check the messages in there to see if your GV# is receiving them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
Looks like the problem is on Microsoft's end...

I was trying to unlock my MSN Live account (to play with Skydrive) and it was asking me to send a verification code to a cell number (guess email isn't good enough anymore). But never got the code, tried several times. Then tried my phone's cell number instead and that worked.

Google Voice seemed to be setup just fine. So I tried a test message from voice.google.com to my Google voice number, that was successful. Then I realized I did get some texts a couple days ago from a friend on my Google Voice number.

So text is working on my Google Voice. But for some reason Microsoft appears to not be sending or accepting Google Voice numbers when sending it's verification emails. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightninman:
This would be something on Microsoft's end. I use Google Voice for all my texts (because I used to have multiple phones and this made it a lot easier). But Facebook's verification texts also don't support Google Voice numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dennis_:
I believe this is because Google voice can not accept short codes. At least I know this is the case for sending SMS from GV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frozinite:
Did you port your phone only a couple days ago? You need to wait 3 days minimum before texts start working. That's what happened to me - I freaked out for a while. Although if you want to see if _something_ works, you can ask another google voice member to text you. Intra-google voice texts will work. It's just when it comes from outside networks, it'll get lost. Sending texts out should work though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I have to say, it would be nice that someone write an updated and more concise tutorial on root/unlock phones. I came here, looked easy enough with the gui tool but then lo and behold I ran into an issue with not even a word in the tutorial. You know where you go to unlock phone and you need to press vol up/down and power well there were multiple choices depending on how you pressed those buttons. Nowhere did it mention what exactly do you choose then if that was not enough my drivers which I thought were installed all of a sudden crapped out and I was just left there with a oh oh wtf do I do feeling. I yanked the battery since I couldn't get out of that vol up/down screen on my phone. Cancelling the wizard on the gui did jack all either. Thankfully it didn't F'up my phone. I am just a little paranoid now of doing anything to this phone. Then today I look around the forums some more and I find a thread about how my radio might be messed up after rooting it.

Again, nice to have the tutorials but it would be nice to have someone write a proper tutorial and not cut corners. Lets not forget some of us, like me, had a piece of crap Blackberry and Android is all new to me. What you might consider an afterthought is probably a stumbling block for someone like me.

Honestly, wish I knew someone who could do it for me. This stuff is not for the feint of heart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] --GNex--:
Try the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit ! Its really easy ! Its a step by step tutorial

Download--extract--start the program

connect the mobile via USB (must be in fastbootmode)everything else is easy explained/step by step
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheWenger:
Hardest part is downloading the Samsung drivers. Really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] --GNex--:
For me it wasnt neccessary to install them ! If you have the ToolKit its really easy ! Everything you need ist to start the program und click 4 times a button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Lol dude really, i'm going with user error. Please try a toolkit or go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400871, use post 3 if you don't want to use the toolkit. I followed these steps and had my phone unlocked in no more than 15 minutes. I don't even have ADB installed on my PC. It was extremely simple to follow these instructions. So take some time, read the steps carefully and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
guys I followed this tutorial...

theunlockr.com (sorry i can't post links)

As I said, he didn't explain what to do with vol up/down button, what to expect etc. It's at this point too that the driver went crazy and turned to exclamation point and I was stuck in the vol/up/down screen.

I agree, drivers are difficult. When I thought I had it and it was listing my serial number etc I thought I was good to go, up and until the vol up/down power button thing.

P.S. The restrictions on this site are a little overboard no?!? and that image verify, i have to click it a million times before i can even interpret what it says. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
How can it be user error when the tutorial I followed that was linked from this site didn't explain what to expect? I've been reading sites for the past week bud just to build the confidence to unlock/root my phone and despite god knows how many hours I ran into problems. I'm happy as heck for you that you did it in 15mins. :)

Please.. tell me this is user error...

"2. Now, click Unlock under Unlock + Root and wait for your device to prompt you. When it does, select Yes using the volume buttons and wait for it to reboot."

prompt me? ya... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Hey I don't make the instructions, I just follow them. If this is the set of the instructions you are refering to http://theunlockr.com/2012/01/26/ho...-nexus-one-click-method-lte-and-gsm-versions/, are you 100% sure you installed the drivers correctly? That is probably your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
I thought I had and I thought things were working but again, when it came to part where to confirm on my phone using vol/up/down pwr I saw device manager then seemingly re-install driver and then in bubble said driver failed. I was then stuck with the vol up/down on my phone.

If I am brave I might give it another go tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I'm not understanding the issue.. if the device didn't prompt you then something went wrong and you should start over..?

When you hold the volume buttons and the power button while booting up it puts you in boot loader mode. You don't have to do anything from here.

Rooting will not **** up your radio either. Whomever said that is stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Pressing the vol/up/down pwr gave me more than one option.. restart/fastboot etc...can't remember, there was like 3 or 4 options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigdawgr6:
This phone has been by far the easiest phone to unlook\root. I'm chalking it up as user error as well. I always read, re-read, and for good measure re-read once more before I even think about trying to do anything to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Guys. Shut up with the user error. The OP has stated they came from a blackberry and have probably never seen the boot loader on a phone. It is understandable.

Even if it is user error it isn't necessary for ten people to say it is.

OP, when you hold volume up/down + power it says like reboot, reboot boot loader, and something else, correct? With an android on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
To unlock the bootloader you need to stay at the bootloader. Where it gives you the three options I do believe are Reboot, Bootloader, and recovery. When at that screen to unlock the bootloader all you type in cmd is fastboot oem unlock and then look to your phone to read the warning and continue with your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The OP is using the toolkit but what you say can apply to the toolkit as well.

OP, when you are at this screen is when you hit unlock on the toolkit and see the prompt on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
thanks for support joshnichols189. The user error was getting on my nerves actually. I won't say it isn't user error but I've been with a lousy Blackberry for years. Cut me some slack guys. :o Android is new to me. I couldn't do jack all with my BB. Love my android so far.. I'm just really afraid to make mistake and brick my phone.

I believe you are right about the options there joshnichols189. It was stuck there when I saw drivers issue in device manager. I was kinda in panic mode.

I didn't know in cmd prompt you can to type in cmd is fastboot oem unlock, I don't recall that being said in tutorial.. I think it was more like the cmd prompt was saying press any key when ready.. then poof my nexus went to that screen.

I'll give it another go tonight and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Yep. It opens a cmd prompt window (can't remember but) it then ends with some press any key when you are ready then it goes to phone.. depending on how you hit the vol/up/down gives you a few options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
The command times infinity gave you was for if you were unlocking it the manual way. I don't have my nexus anymore or I would do the steps with you but I believe when you hold volume up/down+ power it will put you on the screen you need to be on. At this point it gives you the options to reboot, reboot recovery and reboot boot loader. You don't have to choose any of these because oddly enough you are already in the boot loader. From here ONLY if your drivers are installed correctly should you push unlock on the toolkit. Then when the cmd window opens follow what it says and eventually the phone will prompt you. From there choose yes or whatever it may be on the phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
thanks man I understand, I will try it again tonight. Be a joy if I can get this working. At least now I know my phone wont be hosed if I run into this again. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You can always shoot me a PM if it doesn't work out as intended and we can try to sort this out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
That's awesome, thanks, really appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:
Big thanks to joshnichols189 for helping me out last night. I cleaned out the drivers and re-installed and read twice-over each set of instructions as I did it. I had missed a step where you have to go and 'update' the driver again.

Now it's time to see what I can do to put a new release on this thing. Hehe...

I wonder if you can recommend a particular ROM that would be reliable? I know you mentioned you no longer have a Nexus so I wonder has anyone else experience with Android Revolution HD ROM? I saw it last night at the unlockr and was tempted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I'm confused if you actually used the tool in the development forums here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Hate to say it but I told you so lol. Try out GummyNex or AOKP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Most people like AOKP. It has the most unique features ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flukester69:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] toscha42:
To de- or re-compile SystemUI.apk (or any other .apk) normally you need to install the corresponding framework-res first. How-to you can find here.

Hope you can get it . The class.dex is set to -03 but the values drawable wont change what is the problem there ?

I can decompile change things and recombile again but i think the finished systemUI.apk is smaler then the orginal one.

I know now that the smali is in the dex file . but where is the drawable value safed ? Manifest ? or a XML ? because maybe its possible to drag the files ( Class.dex & ??? ) into the orginal systemui.apk ? Thx for your cool Work man , but i try now since weeks . but i come closer ;=) Have a nice day

hi mate can u provide me with the details of how u did it? i tried the same with the modded spike 7.1 system ui.

on decompiling, it gave me 2 9patch errors. modding went perfectly but recompiling gave me many errors due to the initial errors i got when decompiling.

later i tried to remove those .9.png files and everything went perfect but when pushed to system\app the status bar disappeared.

can you share your steps?

edit:

it seems i messed up the way i pushed the app, i simply pushed the app via root explorer and a reboot gave me no status bar.

edit2:

installed your mod without wiping caches and it gave me no status bar. My bad !!! that should be my mistake when i pushed my modded system ui!

edit3:

wiped all caches and installed your zip and still no status bar with no wallpaper :(
