Hi Guys,

I know there is an NTT DOCOMO thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1559622&page=10) that is discussing the issue of generic IMEIs and permanent sim-unlock on NTT Docomo phones sold by Negri.

There are some instructions on restoring the original IMEI (it removes the permanent unlock) however they are all over the place at the moment.

My concern is that for anyone owning the Negri-shipped version of the NTT DOCOMO, Google Wallet fails to authorize because it needs the original IMEI (non-generic) as indicated on the box/back to authenticate and work. I have tested it on three handsets on T-mobile to no success.

Does anyone know the most painless way to get Google Wallet to work on this version of the Galaxy Nexus (version SC-04D)?

Currently, I am on Android 4.0.4, no-root, stock everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Update:

I finally got a real response from support at Google. They took 1 month to get back to my ticket - fekin' chumps.

Their statement was: We have put IMEI blocks on carrier specific-locked/branded phones so that you cannot add cards to Google Wallet on them ever. Some phones may have slipped through the net but both my Galaxy Nexus phones are trapped.

There is nothing they will do about it and it just sucks.

cuz you wanted to spend $79 more to get it in 3 weeks?
[Member-Found Deals] redthunda69:
I think he meant 100$ on contract. Plus, 1saleaday ships very quickly.

Oh I see, wow, that phone is over a year old, and it's $100 on contract? With those specs?

Full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_s5830-3724.php They are selling S5830L which has 850/1900 3g for at&t. Good deal!

Edit: looks like development is kicking good for this phone. Go here for root, CM7, CM9, MIUI, ICS, etc.. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167
[Member-Found Deals] Envy Diz:
Retail at Best Buy is $100 no contract. International/Unlocked phones aren't sold on contract with any carrier that i've seen or else everyone would be selling the international version of Note.
[Member-Found Deals] orangekid:
3.5" HVGA, 800mhz, 278mb ram

why you wouldn't rather spend $180 on a good condition used HD2, MyTouch4G, or some HTC ATT phone or any other wayyy better device is beyond me. These specs are barely better than the Hero.

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help...

I'm experiencing a strange problem in functionality with my HTC One X which worked without issues straight out the box on the SGS2.

I cannot watch live streaming on the device (football through live online footy). I've tried using the default Internet Browser which crashes upon pressing play. Opera Mobile also crashes. The only one that does work is Dolphin HD, however the stream on this one is intermittently jumpy. I also cannot click the icon in the bottom of the streaming video to make the stream full screen, whenever i try to click the icon, the browser thinks i'm trying to pause the stream and does so (possibly a flash issue not browser). Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Luke.
[HTC One X] Hunteres:
the same here

for me crashing with Dolphin as well... i almost missed Chelsea _ Barca :(

if there will be a solution i would be happy

As soon as I know I'll post it here, my unit is fine but my screen is ****, it looks like its been 'burned' on the surface which you notice when you stroke it with the finger for general navigation, you can feel a 'resistance' instead of the regular smoothness.

The secod way to easily see the defect is by using a flashlight.

Guides I am following:

http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-dance.html

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1022rpBQPDZvU0MAa0u6Nuvg3D9TGXrCIxlV8mDjN6us&pli=1

SSN: -I9000GSMH

I was told it is the international edition of the GT-I9000

I am unsure what firmware I started on, i think it was a JVT? I'm unsure, but that doesn't really matter, i used Heimdall, because Odin ALWAYS stops either at Initialization... or Setup Connection..., to flash JVU, then reverted to old USB drivers and used odin to install CF-ROOT JVU(works fine just to flash kernal), so my phone was rooted, i then installed mintberry through CMW AND GOT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH IT, then realized mintberry would not allow me to go into servicemode which would HOPEFULLY get me on T-Mobiles 3G network

So im reading the guide for the modem dance and it asks me to be on UGJL2, TLJL3, UGJK3, UGJK4, modem? firmware? WHAT? i go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and try to download ANY of the listed firmwares, oh they are all on multiupload links, and they barred themselves from USA ISPs, so i cant download the firmwares, ive searched google, found an unuseable encrypted .rar, woo-hoo... but anyways, i downloaded the appropriate modems, used heimdall to revert back to the "oldest" firmware i can download... JVU (DUMB!!!!!), install cf-root with odin, go to servicemode and enable ONLY WCDMA 850, NO OTHERS ARE STARRED, reboot, *#0011# and it says im on the 1900 band, WTF, i try to install UGJL2, TLJL3, UGJK3, UGJK4 modems through CMW, USB cable NOT plugged in, same results. So I've failed on the 2nd step of the guide...how, i doubt its user error. $*$&#&@#&@ CURSES!!!!! i just tried to follow gamerz-roms guide to flashing his rom, BTW he provides link to mutliupload to d/l JVU, VERY UNIVERSAL, but odin screwed up when i try to install sephamore 2.5, why does odin always screw up? why doesn't anyone update their links? why cant i enable 3g on t-mobile? is there a rom that has WCDMA 850 enabled by default? i could flash my own modem through heimdall, but none seem 850 defaulted, right now im HATEHATING my phone, very frustrated, help me please

Im now trying to install JVU through heimdall, BECAUSE ODIN SUCKS! i replaced the modem file in the JVU package with the modem file in captivate-ugjk3-cwm3.zip...so i guess i'll see what happens

Well it worked once, then i tried again, but with sephamore kernal as replacement, now i get:

Handshaking with Loke...

ERROR: Failed to receive response!

Now what...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xakuvo:
So i was able to get heimdall to work by reinstalling the drivers, unplugging usb, and removing the battery for a couple min. and i installed JVU, which i seem to have to default on...now I tried the supplied passwords on sammobile on the encrypted .rar for UGJL2, a us firmware, and one worked! but when i try to flash with odin, its an odin package, i suppose i could load through heimdall, but anyways when i try to flash with odin it fails, as does the other file UGKC1, I9000UGKC1_homebinary.tar, and I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar, so is it impossible to revert back? i should be able to do it, maybe i'll repackage these odin files for heimdall...

if i repackage for heimdall im missing boot.bin dbdata.rfs 512.pit and firmware.xml, should i pull these from the heim jvu package i have? merge them with the KG3 files, try installing through heimdall... would that be safe since odin seems to always fail on me?

[Xoom General] dizzy33:
Hello, I just installed the stock ICS on my Xoom, and I'm disapointed ...

As everybody was saying "the Xoom is now a whole new device", I was expecting so ...

There are good points with ICS :

- new functionalities like icons directories.

- gpu acceleration for a few 2D applications.

- a few websites are now smoother.

- typing texts in forums is now fast.

- a lot more available memory : around 512Mb instead of 400Mb in 3.2.1. EDIT : since a reboot of my Xoom, the available memory dropped down to 360Mb !!!

But I was expecting a lot more fluidity, smoothness, from the 2D applications of Android.

- the new market is more laggy than the one of honeycomb 3.2.1.

- some web pages are smoother now, but some other are slower !!!! XDA for exemple lags more than in 3.2.1 !!!

- the 2D GPU acceleration does not work for all applications : even when "force 2d acceleration" is selected, some applications become smooth, some other don't, even when they are the same kind of applications.

- stock web browser crashes more than in 3.2.1.

- on stock browser search string on some forums don't work anymore (try on XDA !), same problem with some dropdown menus which let the web page disappearing ...

- the new kill apps system in ICS does not really kill all apps. So we still need an app killer.

- the portrait mode is still laggy compared to the landscape mode.

- the available memory, when the Xoom has just been rebooted, vary between 510Mb and 360Mb ... !!! With absolutly no change in my Xoom configuration.

- When you force OFF the screen rotation in landscape mode, if you lock the Xoom and put it in portrait position, when you unlock the Xoom the display will be in portrait mode, and right after the Xoom will be unlocked it will go back to Landscape mode. This bug didn't exist in Honeycomb.

- the cursor to select text to copy seems more difficult to position than in Honeycomb.

- if you kill the stock browser with an app killer, when you relaunch the browser it will then open the last visited website, which is as expected. But if you kill the browser with the Android task killer, then the browser (when relaunched) will display nothing.

So I don't feel like I have a new device, some things are better, some worse.

As I am very concerned by the Android fluidity, ICS is a big step forward, but there are still some more steps to do, and I hope we will be able, one day, to see Android as fluid as an ipad on our Xoom ... But I guess I should stop dreaming.
[Xoom General] glock20c:
Maybe you should trying running one of those custom ROMS and see if you see and

better performance or features..it's worth a shot
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
I think even Stevie Wonder saw this thread coming.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Stop running crappy apps and it'll be "fluid".
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
There will always be people taking personaly what you say about their toy ! This kind of people should just open their eyes, and stop being agressive.
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
You may be right but I would expect Google to optimize more Android without the need of tuning a custom Rom to gain (maybe) a few more images per seconds ...

With this thread I wanted to ađvise people who are still waiting for the ICS update to minimize what they can expect of it, this way they may not be as disapointed as I was...
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
No.

Most of the stuttering is caused by apps which are written by developers who don't really understand Android,

Seriously.

Pay attention to which apps aren't responsive. Look at memory use, wake locks, watch for unnecessary services and background threads.

Eliminate apps one-by-one until stuttering in menus and the desktop stops. Don't run live wallpapers.

Factory reset. System settings from prior Android revisions can cause problems.

I have fixed many of my friends' Android devices when they blamed the device or OS for lag.

Stock 4.04 is quite responsive and fluid. If yours isn't, it's probably the apps you've installed or settings conflicts.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Change animation settings under development to none or at least down to .5 from 1.0.

Use a third party launcher and third party browser if unsatisfied with stock. We have choice...we can use it.

My Xoom is as smooth as butter...no lag or stutter at all.
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
I always choose the apps to install according to their fluidity. I know some apps are badly developped. I also have no apps running in background (that's why I choosed the stock ICS), always killing running apps before running a new one. I also don't use animated background.

I do my best to let my Xoom run as smooth as possible.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Have you changed your animation settings under Developer Options (in Settings Menu, toward the bottom) If you don't need animations, then change the settings to "none" it will make a difference.
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
Thanks for these advises but the problem for me is not the speed of the device but its fluidity. So changing the animation setting did change the speed of the way the menu are displayed but not the fluidity of the animations.

About the fird party launcher, I think it will not make it run smoother as it will run in the background and occupy memory.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Why, I don't know, but I have always found increased smoothness from launcher like ADWEX. As they say, "your mileage may vary." The configuration in my signature represents what I think is probably the best, smoothest and fastest combination I can find. I also have tons of apps and a pretty elaborate theme and still my Xoom is butter-smooth. It can be done.
[Xoom General] enomele:
Why kill the apps before running a new one? If you are choosing apps based on how well programmed they are that seems completely unnecessary.
[Xoom General] willysp:
Hi,

You didn't mention what apps you are running.

I'm running 4.0.4 stock rooted - and no issues in general. It got very laggy once after running for a week, but a reboot fixed it. Like any OS, very complex and not perfect - reboot once in a while.

I honestly don't find ICS to be very much different than HC (nor did I expect it to be). (ICS is what google wanted HC to be but ran out of time, so released HC)
[Xoom General] smegatron:
Adw auncher makes for a much smoother home screen experiance than stock. Stock struggles with more than a couple of Widgets. Its a diferant experiance, but definatly faster.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Which is why you were so quick to see my original suggestion as a personal attack?
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
I thought you took it as a personal attack because you said "stop using crappy apps", which to my point of view is agressive.

That's it. I'm sorry if your goal was not to be agressive.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You know, there are lots of fixes for any problems this device had at one time, but many require rooting and installing custom roms/kernels/recoveries and certain non-stock apps. I realize that some people like staying stock as much as possible...I don't. I want to get root immediately and start customizing. That's just me. Some people don't like to eat meat...I do. Some people can't imagine not driving everywhere...I've never owned a car. We're all different. But sometimes you just have to understand that your desire to stay all stock comes at a price. Lag exists. That's why custom roms exist...to eliminate lag, among other brilliant things.
[Xoom General] dizzy33:
OK, so I'll check the custom ROMS ... Can anyone specify which ROM is the best for fluidity ?
[Xoom General] mckr32:
I didnt have or notice any of the problems you had on stock ICS

I am running the following rom on my xoom atm and have had no issues

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437358
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
That's all fine and well, but I never stick with custom ROMs because, as you said, we're all different, and I want one that has a UI that mimics stock 100%. I don't want to see anything in settings that isn't in stock, I don't want anything in the launcher that isn't stock, absolutely NOTHING in the UI that isn't found in stock. They can tweak the kernel or the back end for performance if they want, but I don't want to see one single UI change that isn't in the stock ROM. Also when it comes to gapps, I don't want to see a single app that wasn't pre-installed on stock (except for Superuser obviously). For instance, on the Motorola Xoom, most gapps packages include the "News & Weather" app that's found on phones. That app has never been pre-installed on any Xoom stock ROM ever.

I have no idea if there's a ROM like that for the Galaxy Nexus, but there sure wasn't when I owned a Nexus S. If there were a ROM like that for the GN, I might consider using it.

Some people say "Well then why not just run a custom kernel with the stock ROM?" I've tried that too but I like to keep kernels and ROMs matched as I've had issues mixing and matching ROMs and kernels in the past. Plus, I think a small part of me gets nervous about running a kernel made by someone who doesn't have access to documentation for the hardware they're developing for. Let's be honest, only Samsung and Google truly know what this hardware can do and what its limitations are.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Well, my signature shows what my Xoom is running...I'm extremely happy with it. Note, however, that I'm running EOS wingray nightlies...there is some experimental aspect to any nightlies, but this rom is superb for a daily driver. No complaints. There are other good custom roms available, but I haven't tried them so can't recommend.
