im not rooted or unlocked will i need to do both? and will i lose everything if in doing so? if i just want to flash the kernal ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
yes and yes. unlocking bootloader wipes phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You only need root OR and unlocked bootloader to flash a kernel. However, if you are running 4.0.4 without root, then you need to unlock your bootloader (as 4.0.4 is not rootable yet without a bootloader unlock), which will wipe your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Still getting data dropout on ugla4 radio. Not complete dropout like I was on .2 with ugkk7 radio. I think I am going to flash aokp tonight and flash an ogdobber kernel and do manual fix.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
ok thanks for the info guys, i did a clean wipe when coming to 404 (wish i had left it on 402) and it took a while to restore the phone to how i liked, wished i had done the root/unlock stuff early on. just worried google don't seem to be responding to this issue which for some is a MASSIVE problem if you phone is as good as off while in your pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aa_chow:
Haven't had the signal problem at all.

My model is GT-9250M. On Mobilicity (AWS 3G). Also had no signal drop with Rogers 2G.

Originally a Yakjuux 4.0.1, OTA to 4.0.2, then flashed to official Yakju 4.0.4 image via fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Well for anybody that is interested I flashed ugla4 radio last night. I thought I was having complete dropouts early in the day. About the 3rd time I lost signal I was impatient and did airport mode to get data back in a fairly good spot because I needed data immediately. But I noticed when my nexus was trying to reconnect it just took awhile a few times today. But I also didn't have any extended stays in no signal areas so my first day is kind of inconclusive. Tomorrow will be a better to test because I know I will be in no signal areas for awhile. I am hoping at least what I experienced today stays consistent because it was tolerable and acceptable. Even my atrix which is the best phone I've ever had for cell reception exhibited somewhat long reconnection times like today. Even Verizon phones have problems in downtown where I am at. Usually atnt does better higher up in the skyscrapers as far as reception. Verizon usually dies better underground, though the main building where I work, underground is one of my goto sweet spots if I need reliable data and fast.

Thanks for everyone who has shared their phone build information.

It looks like we have found no discernable pattern with the hardware

original product id: yakju vs. yakjuux etc.

manufacturing location

manufacturing date

model # (forgot to mention mine is actually -i9250GSMH)

place of purchase

carrier of use

battery

The 287 comments on the google code bug report (28133) from all over the world anecdotally confirm the lack of discernable pattern at this point as well.

I will say I am quite happy with the battery life on 4.0.4 with the smartreflex workaround. The device sleeps properly with awake time more properly matching screen time and solid connectivity graphs. With moderate use I am getting over 24 hours; that's with with sync enabled on most services. I haven't seen any negative impact of that setting change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rootusr:
yeap, no pattern yet. I've been using the disable smartflex workaround for a while and it's working fine, however I'm worried about the lack of attention that google seems to be putting on this, It's easily replicable in several devices and its not happening in the previous 4.0.2, At least an official "yes, there is a bug and we're working on it" or a "we have not been unable to identify the problem but we're working on it" would be the correct way to show respect to the users

Copy and pasted from Vodafone forum.

Hi Everyone,

Following reports from some customers, Google have withdrawn the 4.0.4 update and so it won’t currently be available to install.

We’re waiting for information from Google about when this software, or a newer version, will become available.

We’ll let you know as soon as we hear from Google.

Thanks,

Yeah, again, what he is saying is that they stopped pushing it out OTA. It's still available here: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-yakju-IMM76D-from-ICL53F.7f97fbc1.zip and the full 4.0.4 ROM is available here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
thanks for the info from vodafone ...

I wish google themselves would come out and say something, admit that there is a problem, that they are working on a solution and when to expect a fix. I think they owe us that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
But how often does Google do that? Not very. And often, but not all the time they do address major issues. It would be awesome if they gave us even some acknowledgement and timeline but I guess we should get used to it. Otoh, this is affecting the phone in smartphone, and should get more attention on their behalf.

zippity doo da.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vro25:
Most phones do not have an issue as it was a very small roll out, Google did the right thing by stopping the roll out - they don't want to make it worse by rushing out another release. If you're not using a stock ROM you really can't complain. Anybody that has the issue and hadn't fixed it themselves via rooting should just take their phone in for service. They will re-flash it to 4.0.1/2 and the problem will be solved.

If you've applied the patch on your own, then just root it and fix it as per one of the methods posted.

This isn't the Google complaints thread, it's the come here to fix this thread ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekow:
Hey guys.

I have litening rom v2.1 ICS on my GS2. I have been having several issues with it. Such as super battery drain when connecting to 3g. I have tried ununstalling some apps but the drain seems randomised. I have installed better battery stats but it doesn't really find anything of interest. I am getting the old ANDROID OS drain. Although i do really like ICS, If i want to go back to the old GB nandroid backup what steps need to be taken.

1. From what i have read is flash a stock rom first. Does this rom need to be a 3 file rom or can i use the vodafone stock rom which is all of the 3 combined into one file "GT-I9100T_VAU_I9100TDUKF4_I9100TDUKF4_I9100TVAUKF4" is the stock rom i have on file. If i need a 3 file can someone link me up a stock 3 file gb rom? Do i need to flash a GB bootloader first? Do i need to add a PIT file when flashing the stock rom?

2. Do i wipe the phone after installation or before. I heard it's back to wipe the phone before going ICS -> GB

3. After flashing stock i assume i need to cf-root the phone again then i can restore a nandroid backup is this correct?

Alternatively is anyone on a ICS rom that is stable? Which rom is it? Hows the process from litening to a different rom? Just a wipe then flash? Thanks guys.

Help!!

Greetings! I noticed after 3 days or so and after flashing Axiom rom that my screen wasn't as bright as before. I was just wondering if this possibly could be a kernel/baseband issue, or if some brightness settings got stuck, or my screen just went bad. While comapring to my friend's Gnex his screen was considerably brighter. He also mentioned that my screen when I first showed him my nex while were beaming stuff back and forth was just as bright as his. I've flashed back to 4.0.2/4.0.3 roms and the brightness has remained the same. Wondering now if I should just try running Odin to get everything back to stock and see if that works. Or if my screen just crapped out on me and I need to contact VZW for a replacement. I've searched around the fourms and unless I miss it, haven't been able to find anything :(. Thanks for the advice!

i am using a demo sim card.. ( a demo sim card is a special sim card that is used to refill the prepaid account of a particular carrier... --this is with respect to india)

The issue is --- i used to refill the prepaid accounts of many people using my sim card.. this was running successfully on sammy's unrooted GingerBread firmware..

but recently i rooted my phone & upgraded to Bezke's Milestone 4 ICS ROM...

Since then i am not able to use that service.. (i.e. i am not able to refill any account)..

has anyone else faced similar issue.... or can any one suggest me a solution..

please help me..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
Don't know about demo SIM cards..

But did the phone had a valid IMEI number before you rooted? Has it changed after rooting? If yes.. then search for lost IMEI thread...

If it hasn't and you don't find a solution, try flashing back a stock ROM.. and then see if the SIM card works..

I also guess you can still use the SIM on other cheap feature phone.. Don't see a sense using it in SGS2... Just for topping!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attackd0g:
Around this time, about two weeks ago,I noticed that my phones gps signal was not what it used to be,then eventually it died all together, not picking up any signal at all. I flashed about five other ROMs, thinking it was an error in the rom. I even went back to the stock Froyo 2.2.1 backup I had, after about ten long minutes of searching for signal, I tried flashing a newer radio. That did not help either I'm currently running Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0, radio v.26.13.04.19_M.

Everthing else is fine, just can't get the gps to work anymore. Any ideas?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attackd0g:
it blinks in the status bar but never gets a signal

Edit: So i Googled the problem and found many users were experiencing this same issue. i found a thread that said it could be a short in the GPS antenna Coax Cable that is connected to the main board of the phone.

I have a Galaxy GT-I9100

Build number = Gingerbread.JPKI1

I installed the JPKI1 firmware last night to fix some language issues that I was having with my phone (FIXED)

But in return, it stopped auto-rotating.

I downloaded this app called "Rotate" which manually rotates the screen to landscape or portrait but I dont want to do that every time I want to rotate the phone, esp when your about to type something or take a pic.

Has anyone had this issue before, if so, what the fix, if not, what is the fix?
