Hmm interesting development but I guess if he uses boot.img and recovery.img from Cyanogenmod port it could work?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fabsau:
well we will never discover it if nobody will test it...

maybe I will do it, if I find the time for it.

stay tuned =)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mazen912:
ok guy's

it is just trying i'm not a dev guy

about recovery problem it is easy no need to use odin

when your phone not able to boot go to adb and push feamod recovery to sdcard

then

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 :)

adb reboot recovery

unfortunally it doesn´t work ;(

i tried it with skywalkers kernel, cm dev boot img and it wouldn´t boot...

mazen912 would you kindly ask if skywalker will help you out?

the hope dies at last....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nail16:
what kernel did you use??
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fabsau:
the one which mazen put in and skyhigh v1.3
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mazen912:
i use https://github.com/abbradar

to porting but i will change the kernel
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] wintel_mac:
I came up with that also, but as sdcard was not mounted (since vold is not executed at this early boot stage) I was not able to do that. However I did not check if /data was already there, I think it must have been there. And it should be RW.

So push it do /data if you experience the same problem and dd it with if=/data/recovery.img and it should work.

But of course Odin worked, too.

I just bought an Iwave grove from Ross for $9.99.

I was not expecting much and was ready to return it if it sounded crappy, but it has a nice and clean sound. For the price it is a keeper.

I already can bluetooth to my home system or plug in my nice headphones for great sound, but this gives me another option when I don't want either.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbr64:
Hi, hope I'm not dubbel posting... but here is my PROBLEM:

I have the now-well-known problem (hardware?) when the phone (i9020) fails to mount the sdcard and also refuses to boot.

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

This problem occured now and then until it now became permanent. The last thing I did while the sd-card still was accessible was to unroot the phone. (su-XXXX-signed.zip on the sd-card)

I'm pretty sure the process of rooting finished but the phone then decided not to boot any more. (E:failed to mount /sdcard etc...) - Perfect timing...:(

I have not been able to verify this since the booting now stops at the Google-text.

I can connect to the phone with SDK Manager and the bootloader is still unlocked. I can also fastboot it with recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img.

I also still have stock rom.

What I would like to do is to unroot and lock the boot manager before I send my unit to Samsung.

Locking the boot manager shouldn't be a problem but how do I unroot?

I can't flash by putting .zip with stock rom on sdcard because the sdcard can't be mounted...

Can I flash it with stock rom via fastboot...?

...or are there any other methods to unroot it...?

Is there by any chance a way to check if the phone actually is rooted?

Thanks in advance.

Might be that simple...

But it's the flashing of stock recovery I can't do. Question is if they are able to see that it is rooted?

Locking the bootloader shouldn't be a problem since I can use fastboot.

It's just the rooting that concerns me...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
That link, while not for your model, does contain the commands that you need to use fast boot.

I will break it down for you:

Unzip that zip file you have into your ADB (fastboot) directory.

Run these commands at a command prompt in the ADB directory:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

Reboot your device.

Return your device.

Discalaimer: You may need to adjust the names of the .img files depending on the file names inside your stock rom zip.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbr64:
I knew that...:rolleyes:

Thank you - now I get it.

Just one more obstacle then... the stock rom contains only boot.img, bootloader.img and radio.img.

In addition to those three .img-files it also contains three folders:

'META-INF', 'recovery' and 'system'.

I guess I nedd the other .img-files as well...??

Hello

In ICS, there's this screen showing the "data usage":

​

Is there a way to tell Android, how much data I've already used in the current period, so that the amount shown in ICS and reported by the provider is roughly equal?

Thanks,

Alexander
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't think so. And you can't reset it without changing the date either. You kinda have to just wait it out and set it to reset when your next bill starts so that you have a good running 30 days of usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexs77:
Ok. This makes the feature basically useless. Nice to look at, but not useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Can't you just drag the left and right cursors to match your start and end dates of your current period?

How is it useless? It'll be perfectly on track starting your next billing cycle...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
This feature is insanely useful and i love it. Just move the sliders.

And worst case yes the first month using your phone you have to let it collect info. After that its good forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
In instances where I've done a wipe mid billing period and reset the counters, I just adjust my warning and data limits accordingly. If I had used 250 MB prior to the wipe I set my limit taking that into account for the rest of the month. The tiniest of a pain in the ass, if it bothered me at all I'd only wipe data on the 20th of each month at 23:59.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
I'm so completely frustrated by this phone.

I live in Houston, we've had excellent LTE for a while now. I had a thunderbolt for a long time that performed flawlessly on LTE.

Since day one, across multiple roms, multiple radios, and more wipes than I can count, this phone has been absolutely pathetic with regards to radio performance.

I'm CONSTANTLY losing 4G, or having 4G and being stuck with gray (non google connected) bars. I'm always singing out of Gtalk, not having texts go through.

The phone burns a hole in pocket (figuratively) sometimes when it drops to 3G.

What should I do? Do i need to get a new phone? Anyone else massively disappointed with the Gnex data connection?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I stopped reading when you related 4G issues to SMS issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeLopez:
yes get a different phone, or go back to your thunderbolt

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
You shouldn't have, i use google voice which requires a data connection to google's servers.

Does no one else have these issues?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
GSM touters aside,

Have u tried flashing one of the custom radio packages or even one of the radio hybrids?

i had some wifi-mobile data handoff issues with the 4.0.2 radios, but the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 have been stellar. digs out 4g almost everywhere and whatever the connection, no heat or handoff issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
i also came from a thunderbolt. and the only place i have issues is when i am in a building pretty far away from windows. at work, where i had an OK 4gLTE connection on my thunderbolt, i have a 50/50 connection on my nexus (probably 80% 4g with thunderbolt)

other than that, as long as i am close to a window, or outside i get as good a connection as my thunderbolt did. you may have a bad SIM card, or a bad radio in general. i would try to get it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Yes I have, i've use 4.0.2, 4.0.3, the latest "hybrid."

They all have the same issues across the roms.

Thanks though :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicastro78:
I live in Arizona and when in Phoenix I have no issues with 4G signal. Samsung is notorious for bad attenna designs. You may have a bad attenna, nit properly wired, or defective radio. I would recommend having Verizon replace it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
if i were u, i would try the 4.0.4 complete package. i also find it easier just fastboot flashing radios from the rootz page. if that has troubles, try

4.0.4/4.0.3 combinations both ways.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I'll have to agree that the reception on this phone is mediocre. I've owned the GSM G Nex, the CDMA G Nex, Droid Charge, and the Thunderbolt. CDMA Nexus definitely has the worse reception. Was thinking about getting rid of it, but the 4.0.4 radios improved it to acceptable levels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ITHORA:
I got my first GN about a week ago an immediately noticed something was wrong with the 4G connectivity. I tried switching ROMs and Radois to see if it helped but it didn't. Battery went down about 1% per minute on idle as well (extended battery). After about a day of dealing with it I went back to the Verizon store to get a replacement.

My new GN had 4 bars out of the box and it hasn't dropped since. Battery life as drastically improved also.

If you are still in your exchange period I highly recommend getting a replacement as it is the only fix I have been able to find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
Not to tout my own app, but install Real Signal from the market. It logs and graphs signal points as it changes and also lets you know what network your using (1x, eHRPD, LTE, 1x etc). It does GSM too.

I know the Nexus radio is bouncy as hell. I compared the Nexus with the Razr and my old Fascinate and the Nexus signal looks like and EKG readout where as the Razr and Fascinate tend to have less bounce (in same area).

Anyhow, it may help prove or deny an issue or not help at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
Here are some charts for 3 devices. The Nexus, even though many more points, clearly jumps around on its signal levels.

Nexus (alot of data points)

Fascinate (40 or so points)

Razr (100+ points)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tea_dub84:
Im in houston and dont have any of the problems that your listing. It may just be your device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I think this is the 3rd or 4th thread I've seen today about this 'issue'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
My reception is fine on my GN. My wifes Rezound does pull better dbm in fringe area's but I do not lose data or calls and my 4G data does not drop either. I will tell you that the Rezound will pick up 4G data in fringe area's where my GN will be on 3G but these area's are so far and few between it doesn't really matter.

I also did not notice a difference between the 4.0.2 radios and the 4.0.4 ones. The dbm readings were exactly the same when tested in lower signal area's. I actually went back the the 4.0.2 radios and have no issues with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
The answer is use 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Bear in mind that these 4.0.4 radios are probably not done. If they were, we'd have an official release. It's going to take time for Verizon to work out the radios, after all, this is a BETA device. I do not have issues either. Occasionally I'll lose data connectivity for no reason, but it's not at ALL like it was when I was on 4.0.1 (I purposefully held off upgrading to 4.0.2 for several days). On 4.0.1 I'd lose data connectivity briefly several times a day. On 4.0.4 I can stream media literally all day with minor issues.

I think it's either your area or you have a wiggy device. The 4.0.4 radios have been fantastic for me. I travel extensively, and even in rural places where I show 0 bars I can still hold a phone call and good data speeds. I'm working in a semi-rural area today with 0 bars of 3G, wireless tethered, and my device has 133ms pings and just pulled 699kbps down and 396kbps up. My laptop is pulling this. I've even done a little remote desktop connect work too.

All in all, my device seems to do OK when it's on the fringe. If you have a hardware issue, a new radio package won't fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Well that's slightly encouraging. I got the phone when it launched, so i'm not within the exchange period. I suppose i'll give them a ring and see whats up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
My reception in Pittsburgh has been great with all the different radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Verizon's advice:

"Just wait, there is an update that's coming to fix it."

... I really don't like dealing with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T4rd:
I don't live/work in a 4G LTE area, so I don't have a whole lot of experience with hand offs, but my Galaxy Nexus seems to be sketchy when I do go into my neighboring city with 4G. It's very sporadic; sometimes it goes into and out of 4G exactly where it should and the other half of the time it just stays on 3G until I toggle mobile data a few times.

I just got my wife a Rezound for her B-Day over the weekend and it seems to be much better at keeping 4G where it should. We stayed in a hotel over the weekend in a strong 4G area. Sometimes my Nexus would randomly drop to 3G inside the hotel whereas my wife's Rezound stayed on 4G the whole time. A couple times I had to toggle mobile data on/off 3-4 times in order for it to pull 4G.

I flashed the new radios too when the 4.0.4 leak first hit. My Baseband version is: I515.09 V.FA02 / I515.FA02.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] URPREY:
When I got a Gnex for my wife, hers was doing the exact same thing. Wouldn't last more than 4 hours, data connection always dropping. Since it was only a few days old, Verizon sent us a brand new one and it's performing perfectly (just like mine always has).

You most likely have a defective phone, and should get it replaced. No amount of rooting. changing roms or radios will help, unfortunately. Believe me, I tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
Thanks for the advice, I'll call back in again shortly. Glad to hear her's is working correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
No, it's not. Don't spread lies. The Nexus isn't a Beta device at all...it's a developer device. *VERY* different thing. This is a consumer phone, and should perform like one.

As for the speeds...700kbps is absolutely not fast enough to do most things. That means a theoretical ~90KB/s, but in reality that means you'll be downloading at 10-15KB/s, which is horrible. Loading even a semi-small picture would take anywhere from 10-15 seconds. I have a hard time believing you were doing anything useful through Remote Connect with that type of speed.

The speeds on this phone are awesome...but the connectivity *is* lacking. Here in Cleveland I can go from full 4G to 3G in only 2 blocks. It's ridiculous. The other day I was at a friend's house (in the country) and in one room I had 2 bars of 4G (fairly strong and fast) and the next room over I was at 1 bar of 3G (and couldn't access the internet). His iPhone was at full 3G in both places and was downloading fine at 1.3Mbps.

Samsung should definitely *not* be the manufacturer of the next Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaRkL3AD3R:
Here here. Never have I seen such terrible radios on a top end phone in my 7 years on Verizon. For something that costs top dollar this phones ability to perform as a PHONE is pitiful.

Just for comparisons sake, holding my girlfriends Thunderbolt in the same spot and same way as my Galaxy Nexus, here's what I find:

Galaxy Nexus - 80% of the time 0 bars, 20% 1 bar

Thunderbolt - 70% of the time 2 bars, 20% of the time 3 bars, 10% of the time 1 bar

Galaxy Nexus - -120dbm 99 asu

Thunderbolt - -85dmb 2 asu

Galaxy Nexus - 897kbps down, 516kbps up

Thunderbolt - 2970kbps down, 581kbps up

Both using CDMA Only radios on 3G.

So wtf honestly, this phone has the worst radio I've ever seen on an Android phone, and I've had quite a few :( The first thing that went through my mind when I was witnessing how BAD it really is first hand was the iPhone antenna defect and how holding it a certain way blocked out all signal. Well the problem with the GN is it doesn't matter which way you hold it, it always has absolute sheet signal. Terrible.
