i did a research and learn that ICS 4.0 does not allow the user to swich WCDMA only.

Is it ok if If install modem kernel of a 2.3 ROM into a 4.0.3 Rom. IF so, How can I do it? please give me the tutorial link!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikka06:
I don't know which is your current rom...i'm on miui v4 right now and if i go in Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network type selection i can switch between 3G and 2G...so i can choose only 3G network.Regarding the modems,if you're an ICS rom you can flash only ICS modems...here is the link http://bit.ly/GFMk0R
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:
My current ROM is Euphoria r.c2.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb87:
nope might not work

I have not tried that. In the link below you will find the modems which are ics compatible.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158783&highlight=bootloaders

All you have to do is download your choice of modem ( depending on your location) and put it on your SD card. For convenience sake put it in the phone sd card directly and not in any folder. then

1) reboot into recovery

2) select install zip from sdcard/ internal sdcard

3) choose zip file of the modem

4) yes

let it do its thing. Then reboot and check in the settings under baseband.

PS: since the rom that you are using now does not give you the option to select 3g only, even the new modem will switch to E in areas of very weak 3g reception. Just FYI.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:
what im looking for is the option "Network Preference" on 2.2 and 2.3, on any ICS Rom, it disappears then. I downloaded an app from market called 3g only but it is not strong enough, the gsm still change to E icon.

Anymore way to get WCDMA only?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb87:
In that case you can try miui 4 as mikka06 suggested above.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
1. open dialer

2. dial *#*#4636#*#*

3. click phone info

4. scroll down

5. change preference

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:
It's laggy.

I flashed back to 2.3 cyanogen mod 7.2 already. Now enjoy the WCDMA only zzz,

But i'm still looking for an ICS rom that has that suck option.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:

But ICS still has bug with wifi AP and consumes battery with rocket-fire speed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
I dunno what you're doing but my tethers work fine, both wireless and USB. lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikka06:
Why is laggy or which are your issues? I'm on miui v4 for one week and believe me is not laggy at all
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalentjne:
I just dont like to use MIUI 4. I flashed it for 30 mins and then kicked it out of my phone. Cyanogenmod 7 brings me a smoother UI and long battery life.

Just wait a few week for the ICS Rom bugs fixed and then i'll try. I'd love to use ICS, it has such an really amazing UI.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb87:
One more suggestion.

If you install Doc's Master ICS v5, in that there is an inbuilt app called as galaxy S settings in the app drawer, wherein under radio you can select HSPDA only (3g only). Although I am not quite sure if it works because i don't have 3G on my plan. However the ICS rom works great otherwise and probably might solve your AP issue too. (Fingers crossed)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvini:
Great Tip

Thanks a lot, i was going mad with the phone keep going back to 2g.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheV:
Hey,

I'm hoping to get some feedback from the Nexus (i9250) users here that either own or have previously owned a S2 (i9100).

I'm considering letting my S2 (running CM9) go for a Nexus and I only really have one concern: Battery Life.

I'm interested in 2 different scenarios, if anyone has a view on it:

1) Stock: Nexus 1750mah vs S2 1650mah

2) Extended: Nexus 2000mah vs S2 2000mah

Technically I'm more concerned with the Extended scenario considering that is what I'm running on my S2 in order to get through the day without any worries.

Thanks in advance for any feedback :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheV:
Just IceCreamSandwichMan bumping the thread:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0097:
Galaxy Nexus has better standby (means if you keep display disabled and have only things like Bluetooth, Data sync and Wi-Fi running it will last longer than the sgs2) but the Galaxy S 2 have better display-on-time (because of the smaller screen of course). I guess the display-on-time of the galaxy nexus is around 4 hours and the one from the sgs2 is 6 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheV:
@blockbusta: Thanks for that bit of information. I will monitor my screen-time usage over the next couple of days to see if my usage would allow for the upgrade to a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
I used to have an S2 with a 2000mAh battery, now I've got a Nexus with a 2000mah. The Nexus is definitely worse for screen on time, but is a lot better for standby which makes a huge difference. The Android OS doesn't savage the battery like it does with the S2, and you can keep wifi on and the drain is minimal.

With the extended battery and Franco kernel, I can usually squeeze at least 5 hours out of it, with decent standby time.

To put it simply, I was disappointed at first doing the same trade you did, but have grown to get used to it and learnt how to squeeze good life out of it.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheV:
@Remoteconcern: Thanks for the info, it definitely does help. As long as I can manage to get 17 to 20 hours out of the 2000mah battery, it would be sufficient for me (but that all depends on usage, and in this case very much on screen-time it seems).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratchoke99:
Hello

Kind of curious if there is some form of log I can post of when I crash. I'm using the newest virtuousprime rom and I seem to only crash under apex launcher. I seem to be able to use regular launcher just fine.

Also for some reason my atp always continues to be searching for a GPS signal even when I turn off the options in locations section of the atp settings. Anyone experience this? Can this be the reason my apex launcher is crashing?

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I'm not sure how you can get into fastboot mode w/o booting into android first and using the "reboot bootloader" command.

But, you can boot into APX mode using the reset button, then use nvflash, just like you did when you loaded the custom bootloader. Reflash the bootloader and recovery, but use one of the recovery images posted in this post

I plug it in for like 5 minutes and it says its 100% charged, obviously its not. Also when I wake up and unplug my phone it says its 100% charged, itll stay at 100 for like an hour and a half then all the sudden itll drop to like 85%. Is there anything I can do?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelOfGrief:
Hello.

I am new to this forum, so please bear with me, thanks. ;) I did watch the noob video.

I am building a carPC system based on Android 2.3 device IconBIT Toucan Nano. It's an ARM9 standalone box w/ HDMI and 2 USB ports, no GPS, no WiFi, no screen. Device comes rooted.

I've built a HID USB keyboard emulator based on a PIC18F2550 to use car radio keys to control the Android box, they basically map to F1-F10 keys, but I can change the setting to any HID USB scan code of course.

What I am trying to achieve is to be able to start Music player, Navigation and some other apps of my choice by pressing a single hardkey. When you drive, you don't really want to browse menus and look thru Applications, you just want a seperate keys for Music player, Navigation, Camera, etc etc. I have found a keylayout file (/system/usr/keylayout/*) which maps hardkeys to keys and apps, however it only runs pre-chosen default apps (like Music.apk or VideoPlayer.apk), and no user-specified apps.

I would like e.g. to run PowerAMP instead of Music.apk when 'MUSIC' key is pressed, also I would like to run Navigation (e.g. Google Maps) when some other key (say 'CAMERA') is pressed.

How do I specify my own apps for hard keys? Some posters suggest I should use some Application->Launch menu, but my device does not have this menu. Also, another suggested way is again go to Applications, All and change defaults, but no defaults are set for music player.

Also, for some reason, when I installed the latest firmware provided by IconBIT, HOME button stopped working. I have a mapping in keylayout file like key 62 HOME # F4, but just nothing happens when F4 is pressed.

I think there's gotta be some config file responsible for the apps launched on hardkey press, but where is it?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelOfGrief:
Anyone please? Can't believe no-one out of 4 million users can help me?

At least, can you please point out which system file (or app) is responsible for launching applications when a hard-key is pressed? I understand, *.kl files are only map files, which map Linux keycodes to Android keycodes (e.g. 'HOME' is a key code)...

Is it compiled into the core? Can't be so! Is the launcher app responsible for this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelOfGrief:
I have found a working solution and would like to share it with the forum readers.

Using a .sh script, it is possible to read keyboard events using getevent and then launch required app using am start command. Here is my sample script:

#!/system/bin/sh

while true # infinite loop

do

s=$(getevent -v0 -c1) # get a single event from input stream

# -v0 switch utilized to sort out unneeded garbage data

s=$(echo $s | awk '{print $4}') # sort out key scan code

case $s in # based on scan code, launch required application

0007003f) am start -n com.maxmpz.audioplayer/.PlayListActivity # launch PowerAMP

;;

00070040) am start -n ru.yandex.yandexmaps/.MapActivity # launch nav app

;;

0007003d) echo "HOME" # reserved for HOME button

;;

00070045) am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/.RootExplorer # launch Root Explorer

;;

0007003b) echo "CALL" # etc etc

;;

esac

sleep 1 # delay to prevent double events

done

Put the script into a skeys.sh file and chmod 0755 skeys.sh - that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garcia09:
Hi everyone, forgive if anything like this is already up (I searched and found nothing). But I completely customized the text messaging appearance so that it takes advantage of the pure black that the AMOLED uses.

(This is all using the app: "Handcent SMS")

I downloaded "handcent SMS" went into settings --->custom style--->bubble settings:

Here is where I Changed Conversation style to: Android

Background color: pure black (all colors to zero)

Incoming background and outgoing background to: pure black

(By then everything should be black)

Now this is what makes the effect happen:

I adjusted incoming font color to pure red (255)

Then I put outgoing font color to 138-Green and 255-Blue

I adjusted both fonts to size 22.

I Also noticed that the date font color also helps with the effect and I have mine at 83-green.

So once you have all these setting in place, the pure black and the incoming red font should look like it pops right out at you, while the blue outgoing font color sits in the back!!!

I noticed the effect pops out more outside or whenever theres a more light in the room!

(First write up, forgive if I'm not as thorough as I should be)

Give it a shot, mess around with the colors!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
Interesting effect. I do like the glossy black background. Though I found the pure red to be too harsh. I settled on official Android Blue (51, 181, 229) for the incoming text font color.

Will try it out for a few days to see whether it's a keeper.

Update: Making the incoming text font a couple of points larger than the outgoing enhances the 3D effect.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Eh, the red text certainly pops out but I wouldn't say it does so in a 3d kind of way. In fact it looks sort of pixelated to me and harsh to look at. More like it's grabbing my attention by being so stark compared to the rest of the screen.

I think I like your color settings for the outgoing text though, very easy on the eyes. I'm messing around with options for the other color, so far I'm working with max green, mid blue and red.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Ever thought that this effect won't come out in a screenshot because it's an effect of the AMOLED screen or the specifical display?

Ever thought that this is an optical illusion and not an actual 3D-effect and you might just not see it because it is, in fact, an illusion? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenamesian:
someone please just delete this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garcia09:
Hi all,

I was the one who posted this thread so if you want to continue hating direct all your negativity to me (we're all trying to get the best out of this phone so if your not interested in a post or a tip doesnt work for you, keep walking and stop talking).

Sorry for no screenshot but as synFox stated, a screenshot will not work here due to your computer not being AMOLED.

And of course it's not real 3-D but a very realistic 3-D optical illusion!

Some of the things that make this trick work the best I discovered are:

Light, the brighter environment you are the better the illusion.

The conversations exchange amount, meaning the more text exchange you have on the screen the more the colors contrast and create the illusion (YOU WILL NOT SEE THE EFFECT IF YOU JUST SEE THE SETTING SAMPLE IN HANDCENT SETTINGS.).

Mess around with it and enjoy the OPTICAL ILLUSION!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Actually I can see the illusion in the settings already o.O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
We all know what an optical illusion is. What we are saying is that it doesn't even have the "ILLUSION" of being 3-D. Not even a little. Perhaps some of your screens have some sort of ghosting issues when there is a large contrast difference. All I can see on my phone and others (including on a SGS II which has Super Amoled Plus) is just as in the screen shot.

Do you see the same "illusion" when you go to Titanium backup? Or the CWM screen as well? Or on any other sort of terminal or CLI ? If so, then you probably have screen problems. If not, then you are either trolling, don't know the definition of 3D, or need to get your eyes checked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandazzz319:
Since the prime is packed with Corning® Gorilla® Glass, it should be OK to prevent stretch from daily use, isn't it? I have a keyboard dock and everytime I take out my prime from dock, the screen protector will have a ugly line on the near the connect slot, I just want to take the screen protector away
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof, it is just scratch resistant. You can still scratch the glass on your Prime if you aren't careful. Gorilla Glass is strong, but people have the mistaken idea that strength = scratch resistance and this just isn't the case.

Gorilla Glass is strong because is has a decent range of flex before the glass shatters which makes it better suited for tablets and other small thin devices.

Having said that though, I have been using my Prime without a screen protector for the last 3 months. The way I look at it is that if I don't need a screen protector for my laptop, I probably don't need one for my Prime. I pack it into a decent padded pouch when I travel and I never place is screen-side down without some kind of cover on it, and aside from that I just don't worry about it.

I'd say no. I've had my prime since 12/22 with no screen protector and no real case(I have a targus netbook sleeve that I only use when traveling). I don't have a single scratch on the screen or back, yet..lol

screen protector will decrease display quality and possibly throw off touch sensor inputs slightly. not as responsive.

Do you really need one? I'd say no. If you just cant let it go and feel unsave all the time without it, go ahead put one on.

Unlike a phone the prime doesnt really come in contact with stuff that could scratch it all the time imho. My phone goes into all kinds of pockets and lays on tables everywhere. But the prime is mostly out in controled situations not when i quickly have to check the time :)

Since I own a cat (or she owns me), and she's already left a scratch on my Prime to mark the territory, I'll say yes. A screen protector is recommended.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
If there is something about my Prime im not happywith, is this "Gorilla Glass" hehe.

My Prime has been always in a leather Folio case, pretty cool, and somehow managed to get some scratches on the screen :/ about 5 small scratches.

I have NO idea how they got there since I always use it with the Folio case.

G. Glass does make a good job hidding the scratches, they can only be seen with the right angle and lighting.

It is really up to you, if you can stand screen protectors go for it, if you can't (like me :P) just get a case and handle it with care.
