I'm not sure about yours but my 4g reception looks to be legitimately improved. I also doubted it but my speed tests are showing way above evdo's range. I don't understand how it suddenly can get so much better though on the same hardware... It was so bad before that I never even turned it on!

Stuck at now writing

It would appear that my update is not finishing. Odin has been stuck at "Now Writing. This should take about 2 minutes" for approximately 10 minutes now. The phone is showing Verify Image (RADIO)... Success, but has not moved in a lengthy period of time. Should I be concerned?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well..if if continues to sit there, be sure to close out Odin before disconnecting phone, then battery pull and unplug, put back battery and hope it still goes into download mode. If it does, you are fine. Don't just yank the cable with Odin running. The whole process doesn't take more than 4 minutes to finish so something definitely isn't right

Thanks John - back in Download mode, so going to try again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] myepicyear:
I was a part of the Epic Community as well...Those were days huh? lol. I noticed that most of us Epic owners who were flashaholics really gravitated towards the NS4G because we all

so badly

felt the drought of development in the Epic community. I have to say though, even though I never pick up my Epic anymore, with the development shift to MTD, those who kept hope in that phone, even through the abundance of..underwhelming ROMs, have really built themselves a nice little community now. Back then, Bonsai, Midnight ROM, Deca's/Shabby's first CM7 self-kangs(lol),etc.. were ALL WE HAD. ahh simple,simple times...

Anyway...getting back to the phone that eventually won our hearts over the Epic(RIP):

I used Odin(haven't used it since the Epic), booted up, and all is wonderful to say the least.

So thanks for bringing this to us...and DK28...It's a bit late I suppose..I didn't know it was you, but that was huge for me at the time ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:

The ICS ROMs which are currently available for the G2X and Optimus 2X and other phones which use the Tegra 2 don't have ICS compatible NVIDIA drivers, that's why there's no ICS ROM hardware video acceleration, only software based.

Do you honestly think that xda developers haven't thought of that yet and you're bringing something new to the table?

Windows and Android are two different operating systems. Just because something works on one doesn't mean it'll work for both.

im sure theyve thought of it. im just wondering is that the reason? that its specifically coded for gb and cannot be recoded for ics?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westfoshow:
Before going nuts on modifying your phone you need to ask yourself if you want to root+unlock bootloader or just root... Not all xperia phones can have their bootloaders unlocked (if your phone was sold by a carrier i.e. branded such as Rogers then you will NOT be able to unlock your bootloader... Technically there is a test point method but it is quite the procedure compared to simply unlocking it the simple way that Sony offers). In the newbie guide it explains if you root your xperia but not bootloader unlock it you can only install custom roms for stock kernels, although if you wanted say ICS beta rom that Sony released then you would NEED an ISC kernel which is only possible to get on your phone after bootloader unlocking...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedino87:
Hi Experts of the forum.

I have a HTC Desire Z with android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1

Currently I am having some problem with the reloading of the home screen almost everytime i go into a full page app and exit.

It is quite irritating.

I was told that this is caused by Sense.

But anyway i was wondering if it is possible to root the phone now and upgrade to the new ICS version as well as the latest Sense that HTC provides.

As much as i hate the reloading problem that sense is causing, i still like their UI, and their new UI as well, and i hate it that HTC is not going to upgrade it for Desire Z.

Anyone can advise on how to upgrade by root or something.

I can't seem to find a way to root or upgrade.

BTW, i read somewhere after rooting we can also overclock the phone, but is it a good idea to do so, will it cause any problem and will it like kill the battery life very fast?

Please help.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not at a computer so I don't have the links handy. Check the thread in development on rooting

Only folow the wiki ie don't use visionary and don't simple try the htc hboot unlock.

Once you have the right link to downgrade, root and flash custom recovery you can install lots of roms

Some better than others but you will easily find one better than your stock rom, even if you love the sense ui

You can find many super fast sense roms with many nice extras added.

And yes overclocking is plenty safe so long as you don't attempt something crazy like 2ghz but even if you did

The chance of perment damange is low. As far as battery life many custom roms may increase your battery life

Over a stock rom even with overclocking. I am a heavy user and tend to get close to 24hrs on most roms between

Charges, and this is with slight overclocking (1-1.5 depending on current rom and such)

Good luck and if you have any issues use the search option first ask question if your still confused

There is a great community on xda ready to help
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedino87:
thanks for the advice, but just to check, if i root and change rom, will it delete all my apps and data? is it possible to save all my data and apps data?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, it will. You can easily reinstall the apps, but the problem is the app data. If you are rooted then you can use a tool like Titanium Backup to backup all the app data. But if you are on 2.3.3 and not currently rooted, that won't work for you, since you have to downgrade as part of the rooting process (thereby losing all your app data). It'll be fine going forward once you are rooted, but the problem is with your current data.

For stuff like SMS, there are various backup utilities on the Play Store where you can back those up without requiring root.

How much stuff do you have (in terms of app data) that is going to be a problem if you lost it ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Just curious... anyone successfully use NinjaMorph to change notification icons / theming on the new Skyrocket ICS? I know it worked well on GB... but not sure if it works on ICS. Thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
I just installed Ninjamorph and idk how to change the notification icons.... where are they located?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
SYSTEMUI.APK..... "res" folder.... "drawable-hdpi" folder
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Ah OK thaks

EDIT: I cant find Systemui.apk. I can find "sys" and "system" but there is no file called "res" in either of them. I cant seem to find it thanks

Edit2: I found it but when i change the color of the 4G symbol to green, it is still grey..Any idea why?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
You have to change ALL of the 4G icons... there are 14 in total (7 for 4G and 7 for 4G/LTE). For 4G, there's 1 for connected... 3 for data in signal strength... 3 for data out signal strength. After you open the drawable-hdpi folder, scroll down and you'll see them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
Omg thank you so much! U my friend are a genius. And this won't screw anything up will it? Cause when i changed the first icon and saved, the 4G icon would NOT appear. I turned on data and everything but the icon never showed up...hmm ill try it anyway. Thanks

Edit: Also, if i deleted every trace of the Vibrate icon, it would go away right? And if i wanted it back, how would i get it back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Here's what my 4G icon looks like. You can also use Apk.Manager on your PC to change png files, save original stock icons in a separate foldef so you can move them back if you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scoutamis:
That is so frickin amazing. Why couldnt i have found this sooner... lol. Also, do you know which one to delete to remove the clock from the status bar? And will moving it to another folder remove it as well? Cause i dont wanna completely get rid of it. Thanks so much for your patience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
The clock is not in SYSTEMUI.APK... I think it's in a framework file and not a png (i.e., not as easy to change). Search the forum as I know others have done it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sillyfofilly:
I have a Belkin F5D8633-4 v1 router, set up with WPA2, with wireless mode 802.11b&802.11g&802.11n. When I attempt to connect to it through my GN, nothing happens. It just shows the message "Saved, secured with WPA2", but doesn't actually try to connect.

Other devices are able to connect to the router just fine (I'm writing this from a PC connected to it), and the phone is able to connect to other wifi networks as well.

I have tried turning off all wireless encryption, power-cycling the router, pulling the phone's battery, but none of these seem to work. What can I do further?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jschan:
I have similar behavior using a Belkin F7D7301v1 router running Tomato. Other things can connect to the Belkin AP, and I have a D-Link AP setup with the same credentials to allow roaming across my house that the Galaxy Nexus can connect to without an issue. I also have a Nexus S that doesn't experience the same issue. It seems to be an issue with my Galaxy Nexus on that particular AP. Will do some more testing around different channels to see if that's an issue as that should really be the only difference in the two.

The Galaxy Nexus is a Google I/O one running OTA stock 4.1 Jelly Bean.

I'm on stock JB and have been able to connect to the following routers without any problems:

- Engenius 2611p outdoor router 2.4ghz.

All routers on WPA/WPA2 encryption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jschan:
Thanks for the response, EP.

I tweaked a few things before realizing it was the MAC address filter list. I added the Galaxy Nexus to the mac filter list, but apparently although Tomato allows you to add more than 32 mac addresses to the filter list, anything after the first 32 entries are ignored. I was at 33 entries. I removed some old mac addresses and everything started working just fine.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I got a new battery, extended battery to be precise, from Amazon. I felt it was a good deal $12.99 + Free Shipping and ordered it. I got it in 3 days after placing order.

First battery observations:

Anker 2800mAh Extended Battery and Back Door for Samsung Infuse 4G, I997 - White [With a Free Card Reader]

I was kinda skeptical on how it would fare.

I popped the battery in my phone, put it on charge to 100%. And took it off.

After about 24 hours off the charger, here are the stats:

1. Standby: ~24 hours

2. Display: ~2 hours

3. Calls: ~2 hours

4. GPS: ~15 minutes

5. Brightness: 50% of time on auto, rest of the time at ~12%

Current battery level: ~52%

I will update this post with new observations when the battery comes down to 5%.

Note: This is still the first cycle since I got the battery. I think battery life will increase slightly after a couple of cycles.

============================================================

Second battery observations:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Observations at ~2%

Observations at ~2%

Standby: 1 day 23 hours 8 mins 8 secs

Voice calls: 2 hours 32 mins 18 secs

Display on: 6 hours 8 mins 4 secs

Display was at 12% for ~1 hour of display, and rest of the time in auto.

Note: There are some minor "ups" in the graph. Looks like battery is setting itself now. See the charging component below, its

not

on charge the whole of the time. Maybe once the battery calibrates itself, it will all flatten out. Also note that this this the first discharge cycle of this battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
I got the 2 pack of 1800mah batteries and they get an average if 17-19 hours of usage, they're great in my opinion. I wish they had this option when I was looking for batteries. Is it a Sim battery or does it need a new back plate?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
They sent me a new back plate. Its chubbier.

Its about 1.5 days plus on standby, with about 3 hours display and 3 hours calls, and battery is at about 35%. Pretty good so far, I must say.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
When I held it for the first time, it felt a little heavier, but that's expected. Been using since I got it, and hardly feel any difference now. Only thing is, I can't use my existing phone cases anymore.
