[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
I have tried a few times with the A2SD script in (Sandvold's) ICS - but always get problems:

Very slow - at boot-up the "Preparing SD card" takes along time, and also for Apex launcher to internally catalogue the apps before being able to display their icons.

Worse still is downloading from the market, which takes 5x the length of time.

It is true I 'only' have a class 4 sd card - but others have reported this is OK.

I have ordered a class 10 card which will be with me shortly.

The worse problem is the phone keeps prompting me to input my SIM card number, and asking to reboot.

I am on stock HBOOT (but also previously tried cm7r2), I have tried stock and Tiamat kernals, and I have tried all different kinds of a2sd scripts. In some cases I have still run out of space, even though I have 1gb of ext4.

I am currently on Apex launcher, Tiamat kernal - and leaving apps where they are .... but I miss some of my favourites.

This configuration is stable - so I am hoping the new class 10 sd card will do the trick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
Class 10 SD cards are reported to be unstable on the Desire, someone may be lucky with it running properly, but a lot of people have problems; check out the forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Thanks for the info. However, I tried it and most apps appear to be on the SD card. I typed a2sd install, y, n, y.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
Class 10 card ... my observations

I saw conflicting advice on class 10 cards ... but in any case I took the plunge and ordered one from Amazon - wasn't too expensive .. 11GBP.

I set up the card from scratch via Gparted - wiped the phone and reinstalled Sandvold's 0.5.3 (Tiamat kernal, stock a2sd, Apex launcher ) turned a2sd on via terminal - moving everything ... and reinstalled all apps from the market not from TB.

Result: a very stable phone, nice and quick, no problems with download speed ... so I am pleased as punch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gizwinmofbappreg:
4.0.4 update has kind of broken my phone.

GSM Stock Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile. No Root. Nothing done to software, firmware, recovery, etc. Bought new from Amazon.

Got the 4.0.4 update notification today. Was on 4.0.2.

Download and Update went fine until upon reboot:

"Android is upgrading...Optimizing application of 2 of 52"

Screen gets really bright, washes out, then goes black. Can't turn screen on after that.

I left it like that for 30 minutes and still couldn't turn the screen on.

Pulled the battery and rebooted. Same thing, stuck on 2 of 52.

Any advice on how to fix this? Please help, thanks!

I recently got stuck in a bootloop. So I tried to flash my backup. It said it failed from failure to format /system.

So, I'm getting my GSM Galaxy Nexus tomorrow, I am so pumped up for an amazing Android device I've only used for small periods of time with my friends. Really excited to use the $30 T-Mobile plan for 5 GB/unlim txt/100 mins plan, as it seems like a really good plan, in my opinion.

So, what should I expect right out of the box?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zachpozniak:
I've noticed that a lot of the roms for the samsung galaxy s 4g and mytouch 4g are not reviewed on YouTube. I know a lot of people don't just like flashing roms before even knowing how it runs or how it looks. You can't always tell by a screenshot. So stop by my YouTube channel and request a rom review! I have a couple Mytouch 4g rom reviews but I would be up to doing reviews on the new roms available for the Galaxy s 4g! I'm not trying to promote myself in any way. I am simply trying to help out around here since I'm not the developer type! Stop by, subscribe, message if you want a review, and stay tuned! I have reviews on apps, roms, unboxings, and much more android goodness!

They would be pretty high is you got a dev to do it.

Otherwise, there's no chance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
To answer your question directly, possible? Yes. Highly improbable and extremely difficult? Yes and yes.

Sense is HTC's proprietary UI. It is built specifically for HTC hardware. Porting Sense would be a very difficult task, as all framework would have to be hacked and rewritten to work with our hardware, drivers, etc.

Again, not saying it can't be done, just highly unlikely.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RamAir02:
I'm not sure what recommendations you're looking for, as you've tried 10+ launchers, including all of the popular ones. IMO, Apex and Nova work best with the TFP. They also have been built from the stock ICS launcher with added functionality. Personally, I use Apex and love it. I use a custom grid size that works well in landscape, as well as portrait without cutting off any of my apps or widgets. I'd say give one of those two launchers another shot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmat1120:
From what I've read about it it isn't a launcher. Instead it will be built into phones/tablets kind of like sense on htc stuff. Hopefully someone finds a way to turn it into a launcher or modifies it to run on the prime, but it may be awhile before any of that happens.

As for AT&T anyone interested in other modems? Maybe ones that don't support LTe ( a lot of people don't have LTE where they live, or prefer battery life so don't use LTE), or maybe ones with LTE&HSPA combo.

Hello everybody

Please excuse my noobness regarding the Samsung Galaxy SII T989 , I am a Nexus S I9020T user ... I am currently on T mobile 4G monthly plan (5G at 4G speed) and living in Lexington , KY , I am tired of the crappy data speed on my Nexus S and especially the ping times .... In most places I can get only around 1 mb/sec DL and .5mb UL with 200-300ms ping times using the speedtest from Ookla (and rarely 3mb or 4mb in just few places) but not the case in general ... Although I am enjoying the pure Google Ice Cream Sandwich experience and that's since Dec 2011 , but common our devices are just a beautiful MP3 players without fats Data !!!! so thinking of buying the Hercules T989 and have several questions :

1.Does T989 have high speeds of Data and good ping times in general on good T mobile coverage areas ? I know it's theratically capable of 42mb HSDPA for DL .... I KNOW it depends on location but devices differ between each other in their antennas ...

2.Is it easy to remove all TM bloatware ? easy to wipe device clean and install the whole new stock system again (I like to do that from time to time using stock or CWM recovery) ...easy to get download links to stock roms and radios(modems) ?

3.Is this S2 varient better or worse that the AT&T varient ? why some say the AT&T chipset is better ? which one is really faster ? what anout the international I9100 ???? if I see the I9100 or the I777 is better I would probably dump T mobile for AT&T ...I am jelous of my wife iPhone on AT&T getting 70-90ms pings and 4-5mb consistantly on AT&T towers ...

4.Does this device have any particular problems in GPS , antenna , screen ,battery life ...etc ??? anything ...

5.I know it's up to T mobile to release or not ICS for it , do you have any idea when ? or at all ? I enjoy it on my Nexus S t mobile version but data speeds suck here ....

6.What about the camera COMPAIRED to AT&T version of the internaltional version of S2 ?

7.Is it worth buying this device or waiting for another model soon ?

Thanks for any additional ideas and opinions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Laazyboy:
A for data speeds, this phone is nuts, but TMobile has very iffy coverage. You should ask someone with a smartphone with 4g who lives in your area and is on TMobile before anything else, because it sounds like you are most worried about data speeds

Wow you have the same ping but a lot faster service than I do. I will say though, when this phone is in a great coverage area, it FLIES. Really it all depends on your coverage area.

This phone is pretty damn nice overall, main thing is the brief wait until the ICS official or leak update, and the screen isn't perfect in low-light conditions.

But if you're hunting for high specs, wait for the Galaxy S3 or maybe the HTC One S.

Hey!

I was so happy just now, when my phoned told med there was an OTA update to 4.0.4 for my Gnex (GSM).

But when I restarted the phone to install (I am on stock) the bootloader/recovery just showed an android with a warning sign above it (!).

Now I used the Gnex toolkit and flashed all of the img files myself, only to find out that all my music, all my contacts, all my pictures and SMS's are gone! :(

But worst of all, I have NO receiption at all. Can't register on carriers network.

What do I do?

I am close to just destroying my Gnex and buying the HTC One or Lumia 800 instead -.-' This phone has been nothing but trouble
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Was your phone completely stock?

Well, that's what happens when you flash all of the stock images... its completely replacing the OS on the device, which of course wipes the phone.

Have you tried toggling back/forth Airplane mode a few times and rebooting? Or giving it time to register on the network?

You can also go into Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Network operators and letting it find (or manually selecting) your proper network. While you're there, you may have to enter or have it detect an APN. Couple more reboots may be required.

Okay moneybags... Settle down, its not that serious of a deal.
