[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaRkL3AD3R:
Both phones set to CDMA EVDO only, no LTE radios active. Location is 3G EHRPD enabled, but does not have any 4G towers for miles. I held both phones the exact same way in the exact same location within 30 seconds of each other to record my results.

Signal Test:

Galaxy Nexus 3G Signal Strength: 0-1 bars, -120dbm 99 asu - -100dbm 1 asu

Thunderbolt 3G Signal Strength: 1-3 bars, -94dbm 2 asu - -85dbm 2 asu

Bandwidth Test:

Galaxy Nexus 3G Bandwidth: 0.86mbps down, 0.54mbps up

Thunderbolt 3G Bandwidth: 2.94mbps down, 0.56mbps up

Bandwidth test was the best of 3 runs using www.speakeasy.net/speedtest connecting to New York, NY. Current location is central NJ.

My Galaxy Nexus is running stock 4.0.4 with the newest radios and bootloader, along with Imo's kernel 2.4.1 exp2.

Honestly, after having my Thunderbolt for 8 months, coming to this supposed better phone and having these kind of radio problems is just appalling. The Thunderbolt was always railed for being the pioneer of LTE radios, and for getting weak signal. Well after these tests I am not sure what to believe besides the truth that is sitting in front of me. My brand spanking new Google phone has by far the worst radio I've ever seen in a Verizon smartphone.

I'm going to be hopeful in getting an update that may resolve these radio issues, but the realist in me tells me this is 100% hardware.

I'd like to get some results from other Verizon Galaxy Nexus users running 3G to see what kind of dbm and bar signal, as well as what kind of bandwidth you guys are getting. I am very disappointed and want to know if it's a hardware defect or if this phones radios' really are this bad :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Meh. The Qualcomm radios in both of these phones are in fact ****. I think the build of the Galaxy Nexus (whether it be physical or software) has something to do with it. Maybe Samsung herp derped the position of the radios or Google took a **** on the blobs.

Regardless, its a great phone and still gets better data speeds than every other carrier and phone. -coughs- iPhone users -coughs-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaRkL3AD3R:
Except it doesn't get the best data speeds of any other phones, as my test results conclude.

Even on 4G I've nabbed 40mbps down 15mbps up bandwidth tests on that same exact Thunderbolt when I was in a good signal 4G area. How much have most GN users hit on 4G? 30mbps down?

This phone is a great micro-tablet, but as a phone it is heavily lacking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Really, cause I have seen people getting upwards of 50mb/s on the Nexus (seems like most of them live in NYC).

Not to mention I was talking about people on other carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaRkL3AD3R:
Other carriers is a given, but that really isn't what the point of this comparison is. The point is I'm holding two phones on the same carrier, at the same time, the same way, and one performs multitudes greater performance than the other. Has nothing to do with other carriers.

Fact is this phones radio is junk. You can have a quad core 1080p Super AMOLED Plus screen and 2GB of RAM, the best GPU on the market and 128GB of space, but if it can't hold a signal to save YOUR life, then what good is it at as a phone?

Samsung/Google needs to get on this right now and fix this phones radio. I'm just worried that it can't be fixed through a software OTA...

And I'd also like some speed comparisons, namely 3G, from other Verizon GN users if possible please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnprevite:
On 3g i used to get about -75 at worst with thunderbolt at my house. Currently getting -93 at best with two different galaxy nexus. Usually worse. Used to have a stable 4g signal too. Now it drops after a few seconds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaRkL3AD3R:
That sounds about right... very disappointed in these radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strongergravity:
I get the same -120dbm, 99asu with my Nexus at home, where I would get around 95dbm on my old Tbolt. I think the antenna/radio gives up signal quicker at the fringe distances faster on the Nexus - if I go into a city I get the signal strength I am supposed to get. I have a theory that part of the problem may lie with Verizon's use of old Alltel towers (I'm on the VA/NC border) - The signal in my area is consistently weak, but I've gone to other rural areas & gotten good strength. Perhaps Samsung/VZW will give us a software update on the phones...and perhaps when they upgrade our towers around here for LTE it might straighten up the tower's overall firmware...But we probably wont get LTE here until 2020.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theherodrownd:
LTE will cover Verizon's current 3G footprint by the end of 2013, FYI.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfectly_Diverse:
I just downloaded a program on my PC with the accompanying app for android called "Android Sync Manager Wifi". I like the idea of being able to sync (mostly music) files over wifi from my PC to my phone (Atrix 4g). The issue I'm having is that the program doesn't seem to see or access my SD Card, which is where I store my music. I could just transfer music to the internal storage then move the files to the SD, but I'd rather have the files automatically synced to the SD. So my questions are (1) can I get Android Sync Manager Wifi to see my SD, or if not, (2) is there a way, perhaps an app, that will auto transfer files placed in one folder within the internal storage to a folder within the SD? I know it is theoretically possible, but I don't have the know-how to make it happen.

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] Elsydeon:
Seems like there's finally an option for those of us that want to use the cradle without having to fiddle with removing the case. Check out the Sony carrying case SGPCV1, it's a thin padfolio type case that can double as a fold back stand. I'm not sure how it works so that it fits into the cradle, so hopefully somebody on here that desperately wants to use their Tablet S in a case with their cradle will buy one and show/tell us all. ;) It does require you to basically glue the case to the tablet's back using weak adhesive pads.
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
I checked it out in Sony website, it's kind of thick and wonder how it can fit into the cradle:confused:
[Sony Tablet S] Zverikk:
It doesn't. I've bought Sony Tablet last week along with a cradle and the mentioned case. The case is excellent, btw: thick, but fits tablet perfectly, can serve as a cradle itself and is nice to hold. But it doesn't go into a cradle. The only option (besides removing it every time, which is not recommended) is to semi-open it (see the third photo on sony-asia.com/product/sgpcv1) and insert a cradle inside. It's too much hassle, so I just shelved the cradle and use the case at all times.
[Sony Tablet S] essteex:
It does kind of fit if you fold the case back on itself, but it's more convenient to remove the case when docking and reattach at a later time with the velcro fasteners that come with it.
[Sony Tablet S] Zverikk:
Yes, but a tablet also sticks to gel pads, which become dirty when you remove the case often, and need replacing -- and there's only 4 or 6 spare ones!
[Sony Tablet S] Elsydeon:
Would the tablet be held onto the case properly with just the velcro attachments, minus the gel pads? I was thinking that was one way of how this case worked with the cradle...you removed the tablet from the velcro and put the tablet into the cradle without the case at all. Which really isn't using the tablet within the case and the cradle like I had hoped.

I could also see that what makes this padfolio case unique compared to other Tablet S compatible ones is that it leaves the thinner lip edge wide open and attaches to the thick end. The thin lip end I figured was the part that really needed to make contact with the cradle, so wouldn't folding the cover backwards so that the bottom edge is exposed let it fit? That is to say, the cover would actually fold behind the cradle and cover the back of the cradle once the tablet is docked.
[Sony Tablet S] Zverikk:
I guess, yes, although it would be not as firm, and may be uncomfortable to hold.

Yes, that works. But the folding part of the cover does not stick to the back of the case, so it would lie on a table, looking very strange. As I've mentioned, the cradle can fit inside the half-open case (see attached image).

Google maps? I am not sure I understand your question. I know on the desktop browser version it allows you to map A to B, then B to C, etc. Quickly looked on my phone and didn't see that option, but I might have missed it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Don't believe the phone has the option. Be really nice if it did.

Hey guys. Can you help me? My sgy doenst recognize by my laptop. So i decided to copy files via card reader. Then i put the files. After it my sgy cannot recognize the sd card any more. Then i tried to read it in card reader but cant read also. Please helkp
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Did you format the SD card in the card reader before copying your files to it? :)
[General Questions and Answers] limo03:
i didnt reformat. Because i used that before. Then after it it doesnt read any more in my phone and in the card reader. Can i make it function again?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
So the disk doesn't show up at all in 'My Computer' when you insert it?

Does it show up at all if you right-click 'My Computer', select 'Manage' and open 'Disk Management'?

If it doesn't, your SD card has a format issue. Try a low-level formatter like the Panasonic SD Card Formatter. If that fails, you could try formatting it in a Symbian Series 60 phone, like a Nokia. They have been proven to bring SD cards 'back to life'.

If none of these work, you most likely have a faulty/dead SD card :(
[General Questions and Answers] limo03:
when i put the card reader well it shows removable disk e. But when double click it says please insert disk to drive e. I put the sd card in nokia x2-01 but it has password already but i didnt put any passwords. Ok ill try what you said. Thanks a lot
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
That's promising - you may be able to recover it via the Disk Management console :)
[General Questions and Answers] bhatt86:
I am having this same issue, the sd does show up in disk management and I tell it to format fat32 and it begins the format but comes back with an error "Access is Denied"
[General Questions and Answers] LoyalCrystalean:
Same for me, but for me it says its "Virtual Device Security-Fail No medium on unit" when I'm trying to format it through CMD. Also, my PC doesn't recognise the SD-card either, BUT it shows up in the list in CMD with diskpart and disk management. Is it possible to recover this?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Even though it's basic, make sure the write-protect switch on your SD adapter isn't on. That's the most common cause for 'access denied' errors.

If you have access to one, a Nokia Series 60 device is your best bet for recovering your cards. They have even been successful in recovering WP7 cards for me.

If that doesn't work, try a low-level formatting tool like the Panasonic formatter. If this still doesn't bring it back, you may be looking at new cards.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] IAmSly:
Hey.

So, I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and the end goal was to stick miniCM on it.

I followed the tutorials to root the phone and unlock the bootloader, all of which went fine. Next, following another tutorial here I attempted to install the nAa kernel.

At this point I have flashloader installed with all of the necessary drivers, and U20_nAa-11_2.6.29.6-nAa-11.ftf in the Flashtool/firmware/. I flash the customer kernel, putting my device into flash mode.

The installation goes fine, however when I attempt to boot the device, it gets stuck at the sony ericson boot animation -- about half way through -- and continues to loop. I'm able to access the nAa flash mode settings, but it always crashes at the animation.

I'm following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

The only thing I haven't followed religiously is the following: "Generally you have to delete all the files in /system/lib/modules before flashing a custom kernel!" -- could this be the problem? I'm not an Android user, I'm doing this for my girlfriend, so I wouldn't even know how to go about the above.

The phone also still contains the user data, could this cause the animation looping?

Cheers.

What ics rom? Lol we don't have ics, just imitates. Our custom roms use custom kernels from the Rogers infuse, so no hdmi. Some of the roms are using the AT&T infused kernel so hdmi will work with them. I forget which one those are. But read in the development section.

Titanium backup is probably the best in backing up and restoring apps and it's data. A must have app. Just don't restore system apps.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dnovalkowski:
can you tell me what the processes for restoring the apps and settings with titanium once I have a new rom. I tried to restore things with rom toolbox ones I had a miui rom but is just reset things back to the way they were to start with with the old rom and everything
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dnovalkowski:
Also i noticed when i had the miui rom installed that my data wasnt working. Any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
You would open up titanium backup. Press on your menu button then press on batch. After that's opened up, press on run for the option that says "backup all user data" and let it finish. Once that's done, you can go ahead and flash the rom you want. When it's done, go to market and download titanium backup. Open it up, hit menu, and then batch. Scroll until you see the option "Restore missing apps with data" and click run. Let it finish and you're done. You're apps are there with its data.

You would just need to set up your phone the way you like it.

As for the data on miui, you may need to change your apn settings to whatever it is for Rogers.
