[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Some people (like myself) chose to buy a Nexus because it offers you the freedom to choose whether or not you want to root/hack/ROM your phone. I primarily bought the Nexus because I was tired of rooting/ROMing being the only option I had to get a near-AOSP experience with the features I wanted.

It's okay to not root, just don't complain about OTAs if you choose not to. Similar to my previous post -- if you care enough to be following 4.0.x releases, you should not complain about the quickness of your OTAs imho. Part of choosing to stay stock is dealing with the OTA release schedule. There are pros and cons to both sides. If you really want OTAs on your schedule, you just have to do the work and manually make it happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
This is starting to remind me of the Nexus One and the froyo release. People are freaking out because they aren't getting nightly builds from Google.

Grow up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Another one star thread, pro.

Just help yourself and root your phone, then we don't have to read these pointless threads.

95% of people here respond as they do because the could care less about OTA's because we install custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
now I feel bad for the op.

but to quote meryl streep, whatev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
That's pretty much why I got a Nexus One and stuck with the brand. While the ROM scene is pretty cool I really can't be bothered to spend my life messing around with my primary phone (got sick of that back in the WinMob days), I'd rather have something which just works and doesn't have a 6 month lag for updates due to OEMs and carriers dicking about with the software. But I like hanging about on XDA because it's the first place I'll hear about OTA's and the first place I'll hear about something which will make me re-think my "can't be bothered with custom ROM's" stance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Boohoo it'll come when it comes. Just stay calm, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
why do u guys think google is just sitting on its ass and not developing. id rather have something finished than something half baked.

4.0 is a drastic new os, it takes time to develop these things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alpha2beta:
What Google needs to do for the Nexus lineup is what they do with Google Chrome, they should have a Stable channel a Beta channel and a developer channel that you can pick from for your updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
These threads are getting annoying. You bothered to make an account on XDA and you bought a Nexus device, ROOT IT.

Also, Google isn't obligated to give you anything but the latest Official version of Android via source, they don't have to give you an OTA and before you go on and say "the nexus program is all about being first" ITS NOT. Its about establishing a standard for manufacturers and developers to build upon not for some end user to ***** and complain about a small revision change that he doesn't have.

You have Android 4.0

No other phone has Android 4.0

SO SHUT UP AND BE HAPPY
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougeq:
Wow some people are really need to relax. I owned an infuse before my gnex and I left it because of all the crap when updating to gingerbread. We have ics, we will be updated that makes me happy, I can wait until its ready because I know we will get it. If you can't wait flash and be quiet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1Shotwonder:
Now I know with titanium back up you can save apps its been a while since I have got into the whole rooting deal and I am thinking about doing it for the TFP. Now my question is with Titanium backup can I save stock apps i.e: App locker/Backup , Asus splash, and others also stock widgets? if there is another way to do so please inform me I just want to make sure I can keep all the stock goodness that you cant get back if you wipe and root.

-Thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
it wouldn't be a good idea because those apps are in /system.

not saying its not possible, but OTA will require you to manually update your current firmware to stock before you can receive the OTA firmware update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1Shotwonder:
Well I just want the apps really they all work fine for me so I wouldnt need any ota updates as for firmware I would run a mod rom if I do go this route. I understand the whole no ota's etc due to rooting/flashing custom boot image
[Atrix 4G General] tge101:
I apologize in advance if this has been addressed, but I could not find a similar problem, unless it just hadn't been dumbed down to my level. My Atrix 4G is rooted and bootloader unlocked, I accidentally hit OK for the latest OTA update and it begins to install, then about midway through the screen locks onto a white triangle with an orange exclamation point and the little android guy. If I take out the battery and reboot, it loads fine, even connects to the network but then shuts down to install again. I've also tried holding power and volume up when I boot it up and I get the "beginning RSD protocol" (or something similar) but it just stays at that. I'm not sure what to do and I hope someone can help me out. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] verruckterGeck:
Are you still having this issue?

This exact same thing happened to me and after doing this for a few times, I got an error message that the update can not be applied.

But then after a few days, I started getting prompted and this time - instead of letting the automatic download and update, I followed the steps here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504519&highlight=4+5+141

[HTC Inspire 4G] Dre318:
I know these are 2 seperate roms by 2 different devs but what's going on? I think the wcx illuminati rom was closed because the dev was sick of getting more complaints and suggestions than thanks, but why did the ascension rom get closed? There's not even a post telling why.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Yes, there's was a post explaining it. The op requested the threads be closed. Why? I don't know flapp's reason. I haven't spoken to him about it(or schedules don't sync). Also, regardless of my status as a collective member, i support him in his decision regardless of the reason. After all, he opened the thread, its his project. If he wants to close it, its still his project to end/ pause not mine, or yours or even xda's.

If you love Collective roms, grab Absolution. Its great, rock solid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Ascension was closed by Flapp, the dev of that rom. It was his choice. He owes us no explanation. I thank him for sharing his work and wish him the best. Doing this work takes a lot our of a person. Remember to always thank the devs, believe it or not they give up a lot to share with us their work.

I got your 10 char right here

Ok guys I think it has been said enough. For what ever reasons he has the Dev decided to close the threads. This is his choice and he has the right to do so. No need for threads asking for an explanation.

[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
OK, just got the LG OPTIMUS LTE (3rd day) and I have to say that I knew about the battery issue but didn't think it was that bad. I seem to need to recharge it 3 times during the day.

Do any of you have a magic configuration? What settings do you have configured.

My wifi is on when I am in the house. When I leave should I turn it off? Bluetooth is always on as I use it in the house an car. Screen at 50% brightness. Sleeptimer 1 minute.

Also read that with time the battery gets better. Any validaty to this?

Thanks in advance for your help
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Yeah man, its not the greatest.. i try and turn brightness down alot while I'm inside. And a Gladi cut diem on game play unless you're beat a charger. Only place i have wifi on its at home. Also, I've heard that I've cream sandwich improves battery life, which Canadians are getting in q2.. So I'm suspecting it to come very soon.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
Yes, ICS will improve battery life but until them I'm be purchase a 1.8amp power adaptor and a wall car adaptor at Best Buy. When MugenBattery finally do a battery that is over 3000 mamp I will buy it.

I really am loving my new phone a part for battery life just need to change old habits (had a blackberry that I charged once every 2 days)
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Literally same here, i had a bold 9780 before this and i didn't use it much it would last days on end.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
yeah agreed, this is the best phone i have ever used, but the battery is a bit anoying, what i did was i bought 2x replacement batteries on ebay, which came with a wall charger for them, so i bring 3 batteries to work every day, the only anoying thing is charging them at the end of the day because i only hvae 1 wall charger, if i got 2 i coulda charged all 3 at once. the other thing is when doing this its smart to calibrate batteries more often since changing batteries in and out of phone i calibrate them all on the weekend.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Go here and download the FAST DORMANCY app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021248

After you download and install it open the app, select disable and reboot. It will make a dramatic difference in standby battery life. Only thing is it will only work if you are on stock and not on any of the CM 9/10 variants. Since I downloaded the app I can go all day on a single charge. Good news though you don't have to be rooted.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Is there a quick fix like this for those of us running CM ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EyeAndroid:
As I am in the process of getting my Nexus Rooted, I can't really decide which ROM to go with. I wan't fast and stable. Im leaning more towards Rev HD but I like the customization and theming options in Open Kang #26.

Which rom are you using and why?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:

I want to buy 2 back covers, one black and if possible a white one as well. I dont care about NFC.

Now I also want to know if there is such a thing as a back cover protector which we apply on the screen? You know a transparent plastic sheet at the back would really help reduce the scratches from the back cover and wouldnt bulk up the phone and also preserve it's looks.

how to root

At first, my english's poor so i'm sorry if i have bad or wrong words.

my droid pro : 2.3.4

I have a Droid pro, its running on stock rom. But i feel that its so slow, i think because there are a lot of apps but they r not helpful to me.

So im here, i want to change a different room for my Droid pro ( smooth, fast, and save battery). But i didn't use Android Phone before.

So plz answer me some questions.

1/ Do i need to root my Droid pro before changing a different rom ( room coock)

so plz give me some advices how to do this. My Droid pro's running on 2.3.4 ( stock room )

2/ Can you give me some ideas about roms for my Droid pro ( fast, good, save bat)

Thanks you. And sorry for my noob ^

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rianpi:
hi can anybody help me to update my phone, I am outside the US and obviously it doesn't let me do an OTA update, is there any other way?

is there a way to get the latest skyrocket stock rom somewhere? I also want to unbrand my skyrocket,

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] howlingmoon12:
Best way seems to be rooting, installing CWM then flashing the rom in CWM. Debranding Im not sure of, I've heard that custom boot animations must be kernel supported, and therefore can't really debrand on stock. I for one would be grateful if anyone could tell me simply how to remove the Rogers splash screens on boot and shutdown on the stock rom itself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
By unbrand do u mean run an aosp rom . Or use on a different network. Not att..? Tovuse on a diff network u need to go to one of the websites like cellunlockr. Root and install cwm recovery and u can change the rom when ever u choose. Look in the dev section...read

Theres guides to all of that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pumasmedina7:
First i switched to verizon from att and got a razr and i used to get full bars signal on it but i switched it for the nexus and now i only get one bar or two if im lucky
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
You can thank the people who complained their signal bar was reporting too strong. Seriously. (Well, that and the fact that Motorola has the best radios.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stockerx10a:
Just to support a fellow Gnex owner. I had a sony x10 and yeah, it definitely pulled in a signal much better than my Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
you cant compare motorola radios to samsung. Moto makes the best radio on a phone with the exception of blackberry while samsung makes one of the worst. But i find that samsung has improved since the captivate. This is the only thing i really missed about my Atrix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Combination of 3 things here.

1) The signal displayed on the Galaxy Nexus is the

actual

signal strength, whereas the RAZR likes to be generous with holding onto signal bars and over-display your actual strength.

2) On the Galaxy Nexus, when connected to LTE, the signal bars show your actual LTE signal strength (as reported by the phone settings). The RAZR will show your 3G signal strength in bars, even when connected to LTE. The best way to compare signals between the two is look at the Settings > About phone > Status, and compare specific dBm's.

3) The RAZR (and most Moto phones, honestly) just have better radio hardware. They blow Samsung out of the water.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
do you have any connectivity issues? dropped calls? low data speeds?

if not then why do you even care how many bars you have? would you be happier if it always displayed full bars no matter what??

Different manufacturers use different algorithm to determine the graphical representation of signal strength in dbm. The actual performance is what matters.

If you do have problems then it might be your radio. What radio are you using right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dxtra:
Yes to all your questions. Is a fact, the GN reception sucks. Places where you get 2 bars of LTE on any other phone, on the nexus you'll drop to 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I don't have cdma so I can't comment on that. my gsm gnexus has decent reception, dare I say better than my iphone 4.

Have you tried the new 4.0.4 radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spbluffmaster:
Hi, recently i upgraded to Codename 1.4.0 -4.0.3 CDMA and noticed improvements... Phone has better signal strength and actually works faster after upgrade.

I wasn't able to run this game on all the GB-based ROM's I've tried. Guy-kun claims:

But Samsung =/= Motorola :p The game works just fine on CM9, icedBOCA, AOKP (basically, any ICS-based ROM) though.

Perhaps it's something on my tablet, but maybe someone might have luck in getting this game to run on a GB-based ROM (such as Hyperdroid, Overcome, etc)?

It doesn't work on my galaxy tab either, which runs official 2.3.3 rom. The T-Aiki game directly closes and crashes after hitting the "play" button. While the "osu!droid" game runs well...

I have Clockwordmod Recovery installed on my GSII (T989). If I do a full backup, and then flash a custom ROM/Kernel...can I just do a complete full restore if I don't like it (from the backup I made)?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Well there is no cyanogen recovery so that's probably why no one is replying fyi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
I hope you mean clockworkmod and yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nuggstein:
Big typo haha.

So I don't have to worry about losing anything? Once I restore, it will be like I never changed anything? (Almost like an image backup of a computer)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
Make a backup im cwm recovery and you can flash back to it and all will be as it was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AJ26T:
No i wouldnt suggest doing that when u make a back up in cwm you making a backup of that rom! If your worried about your data use either

Titanium backup or

MyBackup Pro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nuggstein:
umm...I thought CWM recovery backed up everything...including data (excluding microSD card).

So, if I restore it, it restores the original Kernel and ROM? Is that correct?

If something goes wrong, while flashing new kernels/ROMS, I can boot into recovery and just restore?

I'm already rooted, I just want to be sure before I start messing with my device.

Thaks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] malaeus:
you are correct the Nandroid backup built into the CWM recovery will back up everything on your phone as it is. including any ext partition on your external SD card. (will not backup your FAT partition where your normal downloads and pictures go, as this is where the backups are stored) but your ROM, all apps and their data and anything on your EXT partition (if you have one) will be backed up.

i suggest copying the clockworkmod backup folder to your computer before flashing anything else. just in case it messes up your SD card somehow.

doing the full restore will automatically restore ROM apps and data as they were when you backed up. feel free to flash as many roms as you want, just make sure to keep your backup safe. and to wipe all data in between roms as usual. :)

although titanium backup is amazing. and will backup apps and their data while booted inside your rom. its amazing, check it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scooter247:
Cwm backs up everthing including rom, kernel, and data. When you restore your backup it will restore your phone the way it was the moment that you backed it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nuggstein:
I have TB Pro...are you saying it will back all of my apps/data up, and I can just restore it from within my new ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterWinkey:
Correct. Just use caution when trying to restore system apps.

Good.Luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Dude don't sorry so much!!! Super Noob!!! JK! Well not really :) you are never going to want stock again...just carefully flash your desired ROM.. use TB to restore all of your apps and their data. Do a nandroid back up of your current rom then one of your favorite roms after you set it up to you liking.

I was meant to post this a couple of days ago but I forgot. Has anyone else noticed in the last week or two, Galaxy Nexus ads have started showing on TV? Does anyone else find it strange they've only just started advertising it now, instead of November?

Seems they're starting to push it now, just as the next generation phones are being announced which seems a bit silly to me..

PS. Give us Google Wallet.

Not just P4U adverts. There were pure Google adverts that simply had the tagline 'Simple. Beautiful. Beyond smart.' - I saw a lot of these here in London.
