[HTC Rezound] mroneeyedboh:
As some of you may have came across one of my what to do threads ( coming from sprint to Verizon threads ) I was debating between the GNEX and the Rezound. My fiance went with the Razr.

From reading more and more I went with the GNEX, but after looking into the GNEX more and more its seems like a bad move. I went thru amazon wireless so I have 30 days to return the phone if I dont like it. I'll get the GNEX a run and see where she is at. If shes no good, I'll get the rezound. I went with the GNEX because I love AOSP, and dislike Sense.

But my main concern is no S-Off and that can make it or break it for a lot of things. My main thing is if I ever get a brick, it makes it that much harder to recover if at all amongst other things. I can adapt to flashing kernels a certain way no problem.

Long story short, there are a few S-off rezounds out there and even someone selling one now. If we can get that and reverse engineer it, then we have s-off right? Will it ever come?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I'm totally over it now. I've just gotten used to the limitations of S-ON, and it doesn't bother me one bit anymore. I can still do everything I need to do..
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
IMO it's about as likely as us getting aosp at this point. not alot of interest as i think most of the devs and users are comfortable with what we currently have. not saying we will "never" get s-off but as of now it doesn't look likely.

if this really concerns you, your best bet is to get the gnexus. i have heard miui may almost be ready so we could use the RIL from that for cm9 but we only have one dev working on cm9 and it seems to be more of a part time project from what i understand.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I'd personally bet this phone will never see s-off.

the ppl who can make it possible, for some reason do not like our community (from what I hear)

also, we have htc unlock, so they have about 0 enthusiasm to give us s-off as we already have root. :(
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
alot of those devs went to the gneuxs too. the only sort of complaint i have is no aosp options. everything is sense based which is fine for some but it never hurts to have some choice.
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Yeah, it's not looking good for s-off.

The good news is that we still have several ROMs and kernels to play with anyway. Enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
Why don't they like us!? What did we do to them!?!? ; ;
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
We weren't the "premier" device to go with.
[HTC Rezound] mroneeyedboh:
And what was? The nexus? lol bug city:cool:
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Well, i am not denying that, but yeah, the buggy phone still is the premiere device (even though our salesman was adamant that we DO NOT buy it, because of the bugs).
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
No s-off for us :P we might get lucky in the future but I wouldn't depend on it

Htc's devunlock has screwed us basically due to the fact that it gives developers less incentive to get us s-off

And most of use (including me) are happy with this
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
That was probably HTC's intention all along. Less chances of bricking and replacements.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No, Nein, ii eh zen zen, Nyet .
[HTC Rezound] mroneeyedboh:
If so many people want it but the devs dont wanna give it.. Why? Isnt s-off THAT much safer? Allows more ease etc etc.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
If the rezound had s-off and launched with ICS It would of been alot more popular, especially for the devs.
[HTC Rezound] mroneeyedboh:
true, but why not still strive for it? I understand why they dont but why woudnt they? Guessing by the comment people saying its not the premier device etc etc ...so then based on that then guessing there isnt many good devs for these device?
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
The rezound spec wise blows the gnexus away. Yes we have "good devs" but most of them are only interested in sense. As of now there is no aosp options. The devs who are "fluent" with cracking hboots "soff" are all on the gnexus.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Give? Kind of an understatement.

It takes a ton of work to "try" to break into a device to gain S-OFF... It's not an easy task and many times takes many people trying different tactics over a long period of time (like months) to accomplish if they are even successful then.
[HTC Rezound] mroneeyedboh:
yeah I dont know whats into getting S-off I didnt mean GIVE like it was a 10 min process.. but people are always saying th devs dont want us to give it to us. AS in spend the time to crack it. Long story short. thanks haha
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
De-sensed ROMs will get very (VERY) close to AOSP

(like this one:)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1507670

And the Rezound is a better phone in my opinion.

After having several Samsungs, I couldn't go back.

Here were some of my inhibitions to getting the GNEX (and why I didn't get it -- independent of being a lover of HTC phones and build quality)

1) No data and voice at the same time unless you're on 4g. I use 3g all of the time to save battery (I use it VERy extensively for work and need constant - but not always super high bandwidth - internet)

2) Weaker/poor antennas (way lower reception than Rezound, way weaker GPS antenna - although it probably does stay awake when the screen is off on GNEX)

3) Did I mention that it's a Samsung?

The only things that I WISH I had from the GNEX are NFC (to use Google Wallet - that **** is the FUTURE) and maybe the massive display (which has the bottom portion if it wasted with virtual buttons anyway - so it's not as 'big' as it says it is).

I also, however, am a Sense lover. So much so that if I go on AOSP ROMs on my phones (like Eris and Incredible and others), I wind up going to Sense after several days or weeks. I can't stand how POORLY refind AOSP is, how LESS smooth it is (yes, I said it.... Choppier and LESS smooth than sense, despite the file sizes), and I miss all of the Sense Apps.

The Sense dialer is unparalleled. Some 3rd party apps come close but.... nothing is Sense.

Swiping screens feels much more natural on Sense than ANY other launcher, save the iOS devices. I remember having an Incredible next to a Droid X (rooted/overclocked droid X) and laughing at how CHOPPY swiping screens and moving the app drawer was with the X versus how SMOOTH it was with the Incredible. iPhone users laugh at how un-smooth AOSP is.

The GNEX is a lot faster than other AOSP phones and is quite a bit smoother. So I give it that. But It's a Samsung. I can't go back to that dark place.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
theme wise yes but not even close otherwise. im sure true aosp will come in time.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
What are you talking about?? There are only TWO tiny bits of Sense left over on my phone that anybody will ever see:

1) The in-call and incoming call screens for the phone function

2) The camera app

Its also not entirely outside of the realm of possibility of merging your favorite parts from any AOSP ROM (like say AOKP or Codename Android) into a Sense-based ROM and creating sort of hybrid ROM. There are plenty of AOSP-based Sense ports on other non-HTC devices.. Its just a matter of whether or not somebody wants to do the tinkering, and if successful, whether or not they want to share it...

Hi,

I´m using the Jaguar DHD Image on my HD2 WM6.5 for a long time.

It works very well.

The only problem that I have is that sometimes I get a connection with my Bluetooth devicese and somtimes not. Then I have to switch blutooth off an on a sveral times.

Is it possible fix this problem?

This post is just 1 day old and 144 clicks.

I think there are more people who have the same problem.

Is it posible to contact Jaguaralani direct?

My build is an SD Build WM 6.5

It would be nice to get some help.

Thanks

Try a different build. Bluetooth is worrking well on every rom i have tried, both nand and sd builds.

Bluetooth update for Jaguar DHD

Hello evilbarcode,

bluetooth is working on my device ,too.

But the "autodetect" is not working stable.

Sometimes it connects automaticly sometimes you have to start bluetooh several times or push the connect bottom a few times.

So on other builds there is no problem, you switch bluetooth on...and the devices are conected.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evilbarcode:
Yes, that is correct. I've recently installed a sense 3.5 nand build, but when I first put android on my hd2 (about 2 months ago) I used sd builds and I am pretty sure my bluetooth devices connected straight away (after I had connected them the first time). If your keen to stay on sd builds try this one. It was the first sd build I used, an older version but still good. Should be much better now though.

Cheers,

Evil.

Bluetooth update for Jaguar DHD

Thank you for that link.

That build looks good.

Last week I tryed the EVO HD2 V6 (Nexus) Build.

I like it, but there are some bugs.

But mr evil is working on V7.

But I also like my JaguarDHD (Desire HD) Build. It works almost perfect for me for about one year. Onyl this little Bluetooth thing is disturbing.

I don´t know anything about creating builds, but perhaps it is possible to create an update file with the bluetooth part of one of the other builds?

Does no one have an idea how to do that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Techienana:
It looks like despite the fine work that the devs are doing lots of people are having lots of issues. I had mine last week and worked myself into a real mess. So now that I'm starting fresh with a BN-partitioned and -updated to 1.4.2 NT. I'm taking my time about touching stock rom this time around. Easy enough to do since I am successfully running CM7 off a 16gb sd card with the neatest dual boot system I've seen yet: cold boot=cm7; reboot=stock. Love it!

However, I would like to be able to use the NT for my apps and use the whole sd card just for media files. So I would like to root it and sideload apps. I haven't seen a report yet from anyone who has been able to successfully root an NT that was partitioned and updated by BN. If you have, please let us know how you did it and how it's working.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NikkieL:
I haven't done it myself yet but there's a thread under the Nook Tablet General about a few people had B&N re-partition and don' seem to have any problems.

"Barnes & Noble Nook TabletNook Tablet GeneralB&N To Repartition Tablets"

(don't know how to add the hypertext link).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
I had no problem rooting using Albert Wertz's newest SD card rom (4.6) on a B&N-repartitioned nook running 1.4.2. It went very smoothly (both the repartitioning and the re-rooting) and everything is working great. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Hope this helps!

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

I just re-read the initial post and I see that you asked for details. Here's exactly what I did (please forgive the extreme detail--I just wanted to cover every step):

First I unrooted my tablet and returned it to stock factory condition (opened Nook Tab Recovery flasher, then pressed the button for "Flash Stock Recovery;" then I opened Nook Unroot app and ran that). When it was back to stock condition and running 1.4.0 (that's how it was when I bought it), I manually added the 1.4.2 update I downloaded from B&N's site to my SD card and restarted the nook. It loaded 1.4.2. Next, I removed my SD card and headed out to the local B&N. The first employee I met took my tablet and began the process by erasing and deregistering it from the settings menu. He didn't ask for a receipt or look for evidence of rooting or anything else--he just got to work! Once the nook was erased and deregistered, he powered off and placed the store SD card in my tablet, then rebooted by plugging the nook into a wall charger and letting that power the tablet on. Once the new software loaded, he rebooted the nook and I re-registered and checked the software version (1.4.2) and the partition sizes (all as promised) and that the tablet was working fine. No problems at all. Total time in store: about 10 minutes.

Once I got home, I went to my computer and downloaded Albert Wertz's newest SD root rom onto my desktop, inserted a reformatted 32 GB Micro SD card into my computer, and followed Albert's instructions via his youtube walk-through. It's all here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630

After I rooted and rebooted system, I checked the software version (still 1.4.2) and checked for partition size (still had all the new space from B&N repartition--yay!).

The whole re-root took far less time than it took me to type this reply, as did the B&N repartition. It all seemed pretty easy and painless and my nook is now running all my android market and amazon apps as well as a few I bought from B&N. Everything's working flawlessly so far. Again, i hope this helps someone!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
The fact that is partitioned has nothing to do, as i have explained before the File System Name of the partitions are still the same and they keep having the same format (/media : fat32 ; /userdata : ext4). So that has nothing to do, as for the Firmware version 1.4.2 it can be rooted using the sdcard root >> development section BUT you will not be able to sideload (at list the easy way) so that for me is not a worthy update.

I recommend you to go back to 1.4.0 IF your Nook Tablet is the 16GB model.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
As I said above, I'm rooted using 1.4.2 on a 16GB tablet and I sideloaded half a dozen apks and hundreds of files yesterday alone. I sideloaded the DC Comics app, the Comixology app, NookHome, Marvel Comics app and others and they all work fine. I used them all last night. Not sure why other people are having problems...Is it just the 8GB nook that has sideloading disabled with 1.4.2?
[Nook Touch General] case-sensitive:
I'm travelling with my NST, and I have not been able to connect to hotel/conference site wifi that requires authentication --- as in you first connect to a wifi network that has no password, but when you go to a webpage the browser first takes to you a login page where you enter your ID/password. Opera mini on the NST simply refuses to go that login page, even after I explicitly type in the URL of that page (the "wheel" keeps spinning).

I have another android device (a samsung galaxy player, rooted but otherwise running samsung stock 2.2) and I have no problem connecting. Any help and suggestion is most welcome!
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Try using Opera Mobile. Opera Mini cannot access local hosts; when you browse with Mini, all the data is compressed by Opera's servers first. If you have mobile but it doesn't work, try re-installing it.

That's the perfect solution (and good thing I have the opera mobile apk in my backup folder!). THANKS!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Okay, I have been pretty vocal about the heat generated by the Gnex around the camera when it's under heavy load being "normal" and "nothing to worry about".

But...on Saturday morning my mobile service suddenly stopped working. No calls, no SMS in or out, no mobile data. Wifi was fine. I swapped my SIM card into my SGS to see if it worked there...no dice. Since everyone else in my house uses the same provider and their service was fine, it had to be the SIM.

I called my provider today, who told me that sometimes the SIM gets heat damage and stops working, and that he's "seen this before". Now I get to wait 5-10 business days for a new SIM to come in the post. :mad:

So, since the SIM is in the same area that gets hot on the Gnex, do you all think that the heat from the Gnex was the culprit, and can I expect this to happen every few months? Discuss amongst yourselves. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I use my phone pretty extensively on a daily basis and have yet to have this problem (Verizon GNexus), and have owned it since December 15th. Is it possible that the SIM cards your provider gives you are "cheap"? I don't think any plastic should have that much of a problem at 140 degrees F.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Mine's a GSM model. The SIM looks fine physically- when I used a different provider my SIM was cardboard, but this one is plastic, like a credit card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
Most are plastic nowadays, I've not had a cardboardy SIM for, I dunno, six years or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't think you can get non-plastic SIMs anymore...

Could have been the GNex, could have also just been the SIM dying for something else. SIMs go bad from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
If it happens again, a co-worker of me had it with his iPhone.

Basically it was a hardware fault, putting too much Voltage on the SIM.

Hi Guys,

I need a new case for my SGS2 (with 2000mAh battery). I had the Rearth Ringke, it didn't last long (the coating went off after 4 months). Very disappointing.

Looking for something better that will last longer, made of silicone and slim.

Any recommendation ?

Thanks! :)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamR:
I ordered the SGP ultra silke and the Case Mate SafeSkin (a bit thicker than the SGP and the Rearth). I think that the SGP is exactly the same as the Rearth, I hope it isn't (I don't want to replace it after 4 month again).

Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dave7802:
I +1 this

Have it on my phone, its Slim and nice, I have had it on since the phone was released.

Same case, no problems.

Do take it off from time to time and holding the phone feels sexy

With any case its going to size to the phone, but this is my personal preference.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] corknroll:
I've bought the samsung official one in silicon(go amazon), no so slim but very resistant . I'm using it for almost 6 month and it still look new ! It fits perfectly with the 2000mah battery and cover !

Or if you want you can buy an invisible shield for your GS2 , but it's not a case, it's like a screen protector but all around your phone. (but i used to remenber that it's relatively expensive , around 30$ /w shipping) ...

Hope it helps !

Please excuse my bad english..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamR:
By "slim" I meant like the cheap Chinese case from the link above. I have this case, using it now and don't like it at all (the hard buttons are hard to press and it doesn't have hit absorbing material, like the more expensive silicone cases).

There are forums which discuss the same issues that you have and i have seen a few, however I do admit freely that its difficult to search for them. You can take my word for it though that it has been discussed before, as i too have a SGP Ultra Silke Soul Black case and i have the extended 2000mAh battery.

And the SGP Fits perfectly! So dont worry! :)
