[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I can't say much regarding call quality nor signal but where I live and commute, there are definite signal blackspots (but not due to the phone). However when the phone actually has a full HSPA connection, it zips through downloads and *uploads*. Sure it might be as fast as some other phones or LTE but it's fine for my uses. Battery life is pretty average to be honest though with a custom ROM and kernel, you really do get a much better battery life (~3 hours on-screen time depending on how hard you use it). I've had 3-4 day standby battery lives though. NOTE: this was when I was using a 4.0.3 ROM.

It seems that Google has improved battery life in the stock 4.0.4 ROM (which I'm currently using).

Which carrier are you talking about? T-mobile (which country?)

Epic 4G Touch is Sprint. Are you staying on Sprint? Leaving Sprint?

I have a GSM and use a T mobile USA SIM. Best phone currently out. And will be until the HTC One series is released

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Wrong. Galaxy Nexus > HTC One series.

Pretty self explainitory.

1) When Android 5.0 comes out, Galaxy Nexus will get it first before all these other phones.

2) Developer friendly. Bootloader unlockable via fastboot without any need for exploits.

3) On Screen nav keys.

4) stock android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Fixed :P

Jk I agree with you but decided to play devils advocate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's okay. Sometimes I have a feeling people play devil's advocate on purpose for their entertainment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexicon:
I would say it is awesome improvement. Have you experienced any browser lag when opening any web pages? It's rampant, it seems, on T-Mobile phones but since the Galaxy Nexus isn't their nor has it been touched and molested by them I believe the lag is non existant. It's awesome. Go for it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Well the Galaxy Nexus does beat the HTC One series in particular aspects (mainly development/software and the 'open' environment) but many people don't need those aspects so it's up to personal preference. HTC dominates the Nexus in terms of specs.

But who cares, I love the aesthetics of the nexus. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Doesn't matter how good the hardware is when Sense will cripple the phone's speedyness :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Even on the Tegra 3/S4 the phone still does seem jerky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Go for it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
I thought HTC was gonna stop shipping phones with lock bootloaders

But I do agree Gnex over HTC One series .. Sense is just too much of nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
HTC still ships their phones with locked bootloaders. You have to unlock the bootloader via their dev website. But doing so, this will FULLY VOID your warranty and there is no way coming back because you have to provide HTC with your device information. I find this unacceptable. You can alternatively avoid this by finding a exploit to obtain root access etc etc etc.

On the other hand, with Nexus devices--it says that unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty but you can just flash back to stock and then lock the bootloader. They can't tell the difference, and honestly... warranty is only there for physical defects, most of the problems fixed by warranty aren't by software problems unless you brick your device.

[LG Revolution] stlbluesfan46:
I had a question about the fix thread for the Test Mode. If I flash the v4 .tot file, would I be able to update to the v8 and be test mode free?

Also, I noticed while in the emergency mode the port used is COM3 instead of the COM4 earlier. Is there a way to change that back, and maybe get rid of test mode?

Thanks
[LG Revolution] stlbluesfan46:
One more question:

So right now my MEID/IMEI is set at 0, but I still have a phone number set and I can make calls.

What would happen if I used LGNPST and MDN programming to reset my MEID back to the number under my battery? Would this possible get rid of the test mode?
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
Doubtful... I'm stuck in test mode but never had my MEID zero'd or screwed up. I think it's a separate issue.

Please do let us know if changing it does happen to work though :)

Download FlashTool from here.

Install it. Select the path C:\Flashtool to make it easy to find

Download the FTF file from here.

And copy it into the folder C:\Flashtool\firmwares

Now launch Flashtool by double clicking on the Flashtool icon.

Click the Lightning bolt button.

Choose Flashmode.

Accept all the defaults.

Wait until the animated display comes up showing you to turn off your phone and do what it says.

Allow the program to flash your phone back to Verizon stock.

When it reboots, you are totally back to stock again.

Now follow up with the threads in the Development section on how to root and install a custom recovery.

Good luck!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Did you backup your TA (Trim Area) with Omnius before you had these problems?

If not, your best bet is spending $24 with Alejandrissimo to fix your problems.

(It sounds like your TA is screwed up, so reflashing anything won't help (as you already tried))

(They had this problem when the R800x was first unlocked, but it hasn't reared it's head for a while)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Try using cwm and fixing permissions to see if that helps. It usually corrects a lot of those little errors
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaplaydc:
Okay,i'll try it..

By the way i found another prob

Sometimes my phone get reboot it self

I dont know why,i haven't doing anything with overclock or underclock before
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Is it overheating? If not then it's probably the system getting overloaded and the kernel taking a crap. It happens some times unfortunately
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaplaydc:
Nope,its normal i guess between 32' to 35'

If the problem is something with kernel or system,so how to fix it?

Hello all,

So I just bought a mytouch 4g for 175 from CL, no water damage. I checked the eMMC chip using a terminal emulator, and it checked out good.

Now, How do I root it and install CM7?

I tried the guide on the UNLOCKER"s site, but the files needed are offline.

I tried to use superonelick,rooted with that, but when i use the terminal and enter "SU" I get a permission denied error.

There is a sticky in the development section with some great instructions on a couple of methods. Make sure you check your Android version before you start. You want to root version 2.2.1. Stay away from htc bootloader unlock... Good luck!

Thank you for being polite, eqjunkie. I hope other people follow your example.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
Wow lucky! Good chip?

And man, you even got FROYO on it as well! I thoiyght all MT4Gs now have GB on them... I would've thought the original owner had gotten GB on there...

Anyway, just follow what eqjunkie said, and you'll be all ready to go. Be sure to read mine and neidlinbger's guides as well! Good luck!

Any luck with the rooting, OP? Do you have to downgrade?

Hi all, this is my first post and sorry for my english :rolleyes:

I have a big problem with my galaxy sl, i can't use wifi connection (eduroam) in my uni (http://venus.unive.it/wifi/index.php?cmd=eduroam_android Venice)

I have followed the istruction of my uni, but wifi don't work :(

I have read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477743, i have tryed all versions but the connection don't work

I use miui rom v2.3.23 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538234) with default kernel.

Do u have a solutions???

thanks to all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
Hey there!! I also have eduroam in my University and I have never been able to connect it. Sorry then!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Same problem here (with eduroam and another similar wifi network in my university).

Actually I was able to connect, but it worked few times. Usually after a full wipe my phone connects flawlessly to wifi, but after that connection, another full wipe is needed.

In my case, it seems that the phone is unable to get a valid IP, because using a fake IP, gateway etc (in wifi settings press the menu button and then go in advanced) it will immediately enstablish a connection (no internet connection of course). I tried to put valid infos once (I had with me my laptop connected and I copied all the infos from it, I only changed the last number in the IP) and it worked. That's why I think is an IP problem, but maybe it was luck :D.

Maybe doing a sort of "wifi config reset" solves the problem (at least in my case), but it means that everytime I should reconfigure it... I simply gave up and I use my 3G connection :p.

I found this weird workaround time ago, but I never tried it. I think it worths a try.

===

EDIT:

Strange, you use a different config. I thought all Eduroam networks would have used the same config. Here mine's:

SSID: eduroam

Security: 802.1x Enterprise

EAP method: TLS

CA certificate: "Not specified"

Client certicate: the downloaded certificate
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erma91:
i will try ur config next week but, my friend can use edoroam with a acer liquid (2.2 foryo) with config written in university site.

IMO there are a bugs in the kernel of galaxy sl because a lot of android phone can connected to eduroam
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erma91:
Up :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I tried again after I saw this thread and I now I'm quite sure that my problem is an IP problem. I played a little with airplane mode/static IP in a random way (as suggested in the link I posted) and finally I enstablished a connection.

Usually, right before the connection, my phone asks the credential password. And that's weird.

Anyway I discovered something interesting. In our /system/build.prop we have:

...
wifi.interface=eth0
...
wifi.interface=tiwlan0

but

getprop wifi.interface

gives as result tiwlan0 and that's ok, this is our wifi interface.

But after that I went to see some other config files and I found that in our /system/etc/dhcpcd we have

interface eth0

I think this should be

interface tiwlan0

(I found reference to eth0 in /system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf too, but I don't what this file is used for).

I wanted to see if changing eth0 with tiwlan0 in /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf and removing wifi.interface=eth0 from build.prop would have helped, but I had no time and now I'm on holiday.

If your problem is similar to mine, try to do that change, it won't break anything, I already did that and wifi works (at home of course, where I've never had a problem).

I am intrested in the past times, when the X8 was new on XDA and there were no custom kernels and the bootloader unlock was new. I have heard about many people who hard bricked their lovely phone. When found the devs the date code thing out?
[XPERIA X8 General] MeisterRoerich:
reserved you never know ;-)

In opinion, a hard-brick is all but impossible on the X8. True, a work-around may not be available yet but .... a hard-brick ...? *chuckles*

before this yes..

i got a few hard brick on my phone and my friend phone..

because at that time no custom kernel and scare to unlock bootloader,,haha

but now,,it ok :)

thank to custom kernel.. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
It's a "hard-brick" when your phone cannot be powered on, and cannot be recognized by your computer.

So the solution is already here, it is to write to the phone with UART or JTAG cables.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] in_dmand:
Hey guys... as it says in the title, I am having issues with my G-nex randomly losing connection/signal but then coming back again. From what I have read, this is a common problem... anyone have any tips? Also wanting to know if I flash a custom ROM if that would possibly fix the problem. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMarkwald:
Not necessarily the ROM, but the radios. Try that.

There are a few 4.0.4 ROMs for the LTE GNex out now you could try as well if you want to go the ROM route.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanderDelores:
Is this happening to you? (See attachment)

If so.. I've been trying multiple radios and multiple roms all day without any progress, this still happens. Would love it if someone has a solution to this... I'd have having to send in my phone again.

The signal issues seem to stop when the phone is awake though... :/ But I'm missing a lot of phone calls since my phone is "off" when people try to call me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] in_dmand:
yeah, that's exactly what's happening... it does seem to happen more when the phone is off, but I think it still happens when it is on. it is so weird! I went into the verizon store, one of the reps said that he had just been having this issue today and that he put it into airplane mode and back off again and it seemed to fix the problem... I did it, and it seems to have helped, but that was only about 20 min ago lol. see if it helps you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanderDelores:
Hmm.. interesting. The problem here is that this started on March 24th... :/ But, still trying Airplane mode, even though I'm not optimistic..

I emailed my provider, asking them for info, but a friend of mine has been working beside me for the past few days, on the same network with the same phone, without problem. So I guess it's time to bring it in..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] in_dmand:
Thanks for the info! I may try to put the latest rom/radio on it and see if that helps... if not i'll un-root it and send it in I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholasbgr:
I'm having a similar issue with my GSM model, It started when my phone was updated to 4.0.4. Phone signal suddenly drops and comes back again in less than 10 seconds. Sometimes it happens with 1 minute intervals between signal losses, sometimes 5 or 20 minutes, it's very random. After noticing the issue thanks to "Light Flow" that blinks the notification light in white when there is a signal loss, I installed this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.missedcall&hl=en) to track it properly. The results are very frightening, I'm about to do a full wipe in hopes that the issue will be gone :|

ps: like you guys, I did notice that it's very most likelly to happen while the screen is off. Actually, it has never happened while the screen was on.
