The sheer genious of Apple is their understanding that the majority of the population don't WANT options. I don't have data back this, but I would bet anything that the vast majority of Android owners are also Windows PC or Linux OS users. This is because we are the types who WANT options. I want the freedom to change my CPU or graphics card on a whim, and I want the option to change the code in my phone. Most people don't. This is why there will always be Apple products vs something else.

I didn't completely get this until I bought my parents iPhones. It was the only smartphone my parents could figure out and they fell in love with it immediately. When I asked why, my mom replied "because I dont feel like I can screw it up by changing something." They liked something that they felt was set in stone and didnt have too many options.

This fundamental difference in personality type is also why 90% of iPhone vs Android (or Mac vs PC) arguments are ridiculous - it is often a matter of taste, not a matter of fact.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
You're totally right, there are a lot of people out there that like being put into an environment where no matter what they do it will never be "wrong". They don't want to be scared to use their phone.

I love the choices android gives though. The funny part is that I'm a mac user, I just use my macbook as a hub, so I never tinker around with it (I like the box, lol) but when it comes to phones I love playing around with them.

And I'm sure chrome still has some tweaks left to do, like others have said, it's still in beta.

Hi friends,

I'm in Australia and I ordered a One X From expansys.com.au

Phone is great, but after the OTA update to 1.28 my GPS is now too jumpy to use for navigation.

I have the European version of the firmware.

I've had this problem on my HTC sensation before, and adjusting the boot.conf file, and the GPS confg files (can't remember where they are now) fixed the problem.

As there is no s-off yet I can't change these files. Is anybody else having these sort of problems? Anyone in Australia have a HOX from overseas running the 1.28 OTA?

Well it depends on your preferences, but due to the fact that its a Nexus phone running pure ICS, the Galaxy Nexus is what most will recommend. Motorola has some good hardware in the Razr Maxx with a long lasting battery, but its still on GB and Motorola isnt being very dev friendly right now by keeping bootloaders locked.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
Or are we still stuck with some programmer at Google who I would like to shoot, that got high and decided to name the phones non removable internal memory sd card. What a bright star. Last time I checked an sd card was never ment to be internal hence the word "card" meaning little flat thing I can take out. If It's internal non removable in my day we called that flash memory or internal memory or phone memory but never sd card. Now all the apps are confused my "real" removable sd card is sitting unused by any app but the camera at least someone was bright enough to let it use the removable memory. But it might as well be a one S with no card slot because no apps use it and I have to manually move things from the "internal sd" to the ext_sd card. That is apps that can find its data there and doesn't get lost and quit working till I move it back. Sorry for the rant. But the question is, is that the way ice is doing things to or did someone fix that so when I hit move app to sd it puts it on a removable sd card and doesn't just move it from one area of internal memory to another. Those of us who like to use our memory and not have a contest to see who has the most free are running into problems. Thanks for your input. AND PLEASE NO EDUCATION ON LINUX AND INTERNAL SD CARDS I DON'T CARE WHY IT'S A DUMB NAMING ERROR IN MY BOOK THAT I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ICS FIXED. Or if we are in the era of just putting pictures and music on our cards like a darn $10 mp3 player.

I'm having a very strange problem with my phone. I am currently using aokp 33, but I had this problem for a while. When I'm at work it says I am in Ljubljana, Slavania. It shows this on my HTC weather widget, hd widget and the built in weather. If I move around town sometimes it shows the right town, but this happens every day when I'm at work. Gps is on, weather is set to update every hour.

Any ideas?

[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
I'm sorry Embargho101, I don't quite understand where you're stuck. I'm happy to help. There are ISO burning instructions in post 3 (as well as instructions for doing the downgrade). You'll reboot your computer with the CD in your drive. This should boot up into the CD instead of Windows. If it doesn't, you may have to change the boot device or boot order on your computer. Typically, mashing down F12 while the computer is booting will bring up the boot menu. From there, you can select to boot from the CD-ROM drive. It does very from computer to computer though.

[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Can you burn the iso to a usb?

and also. Whats so special about 1.40 other than splash screens.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
S off makes it easier to flash no computer or fancy apps needed.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:

That's one of my major reasons for S-OFF. Flashing ROMs requires no extra magic on the to make it work. I can restore NANDroid backups from anywhere (Especially nice when Boot Manager doesn't like moving back to a ROM in another slot). You have the ability to flash radios. Oh, and also, if you haven't already unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, they won't know that you unlocked. :)

Just for the sheer convenience of being able to flash ROMs without anything extra, it's worth it.

You need to boot into the CD. Before you boot into Windows, it'll give you the option to boot from another drive (on my desktop it's ESC, and on my laptop it's F12).

Hey all,

I am using the Galaxy S II 9100G

and i am really tired due to trying new stuff for root

finally i rooted my device

BUT, i cant use the ORBOT (from Tor) (( an error in transparency)) cause i still don't have the full permission to have a transparency and the internet browser doesn't contain a place to change the proxy.

using the Orbot in Syria is a must cause the WhatsApp and Facebook are banned (even Viber and any other communicating program)

I really don't know what to do :confused::confused::confused:

and i have to tell i started hating the G (9100

G

I am not that lazy person but i am at a dead end and need your help.

thx in advance.:o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Check your Superuser app and ensure permissions "allowed" for Orbot.

If not, clear Superuser cache and make sure you "allow" permission when asked by Superuser.

Open Torbot / settings / wizard / request superuser access / TAP "select individual access through tor" / check which apps you want / long press to start tor service

settings / "check" tor anonymity
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Ryad:
still have the problem

thx for helping man but i stiil have the problem

my problem is the orbot got a root permission

but when i make a long press to start the Orbot i get an error (error: cant get transparency) so i cant use the orbot

it seems that the root has a problem with the full transparency

any help????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
DID you remove Orbot from your allowed apps in the Superuser app, and re-trying? (this isn't clear)

Have you tried un/re-installing Orbot?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Ryad:
yeah for sure i tried that

man the problem i can check (Tor Everything) but while the Tor is starting it keeps giving me a warning: (error starting transparent proxing)

I ma really tired of this issue

is it possible that i may need an other kind of root????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
There's really only one kind of root...

But from a quick google search of "warning: (error starting transparent proxing)" and "orbot", it appears that not all kernels and firmwares support orbot.

What ROM are you on? What kernel? What version of orbot?

Maybe you should be asking the people responsible for orbot for help.

EDIT to add: taken from https://guardianproject.info/2011/05/17/orbot-1-0-5-2-now-available/...

Unfortunately, there is no CyanogenMOD available for I9100G. So you may be out of luck. Or try the Firefox for Android option he also outlines, which doesn't require root anyways.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Ryad:
Thx man for your helping

any way:

Rom: gingerbread

Kernel: 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL165 #2

Orbot: the very recent one

it seems i must wait the cyanogen 7 for 9100G

is it a possible that they will release one for this device (as an opinion)???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
So... stock, then? (FYI, "gingerbread" isn't the ROM. It's a version of Android.)

My nexusS4g constantly looses 3g while running through Airave on any ICS ROM. Wifi stays connected. Anyone else have this issue?

sent from my gummy4.0.4 nexusS4g
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
I'm going to try posting this differently, since my last post about these issues drew a staggering amount of ire.

Before I go into details, I want to share my phone's performance prior to 4.0.4, particularly in my house on ICL53F and the XXKK6 radio. On all floors (2 + basement), I can pull down an EDGE signal with 3-4 bars reliably. I can pull down H at 1 bar on the main level and 2-3 upstairs. I can typically pull down about 1.5 down/1 up on the 2nd level. I rarely if ever lose my signal, and have only dropped calls a couple of times.

All of that aside, I have run into a radio issue that I wrote up here on my phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488097

I've tried flashing 4.0.4 to my phone multiple times, and it's not gone well.

Two nights ago I flashed IMM76I, hoping that it would clear up the issue I had with IMM76D, but it was actually running worse on my phone than the previous 4.0.4.

The issues that I've had are mostly radio related. The first time I flashed 4.0.4 (IMM76D), I had problems where the phone would drop signal on standby, but would typically regain the signal after waking the phone. The drops were somewhat frequent, but didn't happen all the time. Speeds upstairs were about 0.6 down/0.3 up on the 2nd level.

On IMM76I, it was a different story. My phone lost signal for 15 minutes plus at a time, even out of standby, multiple times. I missed 2 calls and 1 text. This was on the XXLA2 radio. I tried the UGLC1 radio and things were no better; the phone was still regularly losing its signal. Even by my office, where I get full bars and 4g, my phone randomly lost all signal in the middle of a call. Upstairs I was getting about 0.3 down, 0.2 up consistently.

On both versions of 4.0.4, my phone has an issue where unlocking it from the unlock screen will lag and half-render my home screen for a few seconds.

At this point, I'm thinking something is wrong with my phone. I'm hesitant to have expansys mail it back halfway across the world; part of me is tempted to just sell it locally for a few hundred, take a hit, and buy one straight from Google instead.

So, given all this info, I need some advice on what to do. I added a poll to the thread to get an idea of what people think. If you have suggestions about potential fixes or tests that may be worth running to detect defects, it would be much appreciated.

"On both versions of 4.0.4, my phone has an issue where unlocking it from the unlock screen will lag and half-render my home screen for a few seconds."

This is a known defect in 4.0.4 as they changed the way auto-brightness worked, its documented as an Android bug I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
Do you have the same issues in a different location (with better signal) in your town/city? It sounds like you just have marginal signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Ah, thanks, I'm glad that one is obvious :)

It seems like the signal at my house, using the same radio (XXKK6) in both 4.0.2 and 4.0.4 has drastically different performance. 4.0.2 with XXKK6 is reliable at my house; I don't have any signal issues really. 4.0.4 with XXKK6, or any radio for that matter, constantly drops connections on all the main floor and basement of my house. This is with both IMM76D and IMM76I.

At work it's a better signal, but IMM76I with XXLA2 (I think, might have been UGLC1) flat out dropped all connection strength on me more than once, something ICL53F and XXKK6 never did.

If there are other diagnostics that could reveal more about the behavior and confirm or rule out defects, I'd love to know what they are.
