[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchermagic:
thamkyou for your swift and informative reply.

so did kies not update when u have rooted your device?

if so i take it you have to manually flash to the newest firmware everytime a new release comes out?

is this the only thing i need to worry about with updating the firmware no other donloads or auto updates im missing, because like i said i saw a firmware update that was 300mb and i cldnt find anywhere online official kernely/firmware builds, and it seems that a simple flash of 8mb or so updates everything? i saw people talking about connecting via kies to update firmware and it was a big 300 meg file!

thanks for your links also mate.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Whenever you root, kies gives you the "wrong firmware to update" error! No worries though, because YES, you can always flash the latest firmware or custom roms manually! This is usually done through Odin 3 or CWM (clockworkmod recovery!) If done through Odin 3, your flash counter in download mode escalates/goes up, & the only way you can reset it for warranty purposes is using Triangle Away (link in my previous post!) which can be DANGEROUS!! Or if you flash roms through CWM then your counter's not affected also! The majority of people however, prefer to use Mobile Odin on the Galaxy Sll, as flashing with this app also does not give you the boot up triangle warning, or affect your download mode counter! ;) Here's the link to Chainfires lates free version here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 Or if you appreciate the work the devs (for this particular app, Chainfire!) do for us in this forum, you can obtain the "PRO" (paid/donate!) version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchermagic:
thanks for the reply again crock daddy! mobile odin sounds awesome,

i see i was getting confused because whenever i have ran kies, it has never asked/said anything about updating firmware, guess ive installed an older firmware version than what my phone came with oops lol. i guess im all good to go, cant believe what this handset can do! and yes i will be donating to the clever gits, chainfire is insane, thanks to that i have shadowguardian dead space and backstab working :)

thanks for your time again peace out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchermagic:
right flashed to ics, love it, u sir are a legend....

BUT i tried rooting and it said my kernel was secure thus no temp root access. so closed s2 root down. (would this of done any damage or corrupted data btw?)

tried the cwm zip in sd card method, but cldnt find su zip, also read that it doesnt give full root access or sumin. (again would going into clockwork recovery have done any damage because i didnt complete the rooting process-cldnt find su file so just shut it down)

and im guessing there are no insecure kernels for ics yet?

sorry to be so pedantic and worrying about silly things lol.

also have had a couple of jitters and games completley freezing since ics :( is this common and or should i reinstall games?

this is the kernel version im using for an orange sgs2 19100p

I9100PBVLP6

just doule checking this is the most up to date and stable build.. cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
When you root using the cwm & superuser.zip you won't see the su.zip in recovery mode! You have to put an sd-card in your device (external sd-card!) & put su.zip on that rather than your internal sd-card! that way recovery sees it! ;) & YES you do gain full root! (read the whole thread! : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719)

If Superuser shows up in your app's, then that's the indication you need to tell you that you have root! ;) :D

Either this method, CF root method or any other method will allow you to install custom ROMS, but there is an advantage and a disadvantage for both.

:;This method: Doesn't affect custom rom counter or triangle, but CWM recovery is not permanent. (but once you flash a custom ROM that has a different kernel with CWM recovery included then your rom counter will still be unaffected and whatever CWM recovery is included in the custom ROM will become your new permanent recovery)

You can still use CWM recovery to flash stuff with this method, by using clockworkmod (Rom manager!) & booting straight into CWM recovery & doing everything you need to do from there!

This method keeps the stock recovery, so that if you have to send your phone in for a repair, the repairer doesen't see that you have a custom recovery (CWM recovery!) which tells them you have rooted your device & void your warrenty!

:-CF-Root Method: Flashing the CF-root kernel (or ANY insecure kernel!) with Odin will increase your custom ROM counter, which can be cleared with TriangleAway.apk (only on ICS). But Chainfire has warned that it is dangerous and can permanently brick the device (i've used it on XWLP7 ICS 4.0.3 and it works perfect.)

I've used both methods, but I found this method easier and generally safer.

As for some of your games freezing on ICS, try going to settings/developer options & try checking "Force GPU rendering" to see if that makes a difference!

The latest official Samsung firmware for Orange here in the UK is: I9100PBVLP6 (ICS 4.0.3!) so you do have the correct one, but I don't think there's an insecure ICS kernel available for that version as of yet! ;) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EchoVelocity:
Hey all,

I'm familiar with the process whereby you can run variants of Linux, usually Ubuntu, in a chroot environment then connect to it via VNC. But has anybody tried to port an ARM version over to our device yet? If not, why not? Is it not possible? Arch running on my GN would be a dream.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SSMay:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I know ubuntu works and works seaminglessly well for the Nexus One through the use of a VNC and some other stuff.

I remember following this guide: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...29tLnpwd2Vic2l0ZXMudWJ1bnR1aW5zdGFsbHBhaWQiXQ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EchoVelocity:
As I said in the OP, I know you can do it this way. But is it possible to run it directly on the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Ah, well, if I'm not completely mistaken, I know the Ubuntu team is developing a standalone operating system for android devices, but I don't know when and if it will be completed.

As of now, though, I doubt there is anything standalone.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marksman34:
I just bought a tf300 yesterday, and I keep get getting force closes and apps not responding. I know this is not the 300 forum but there isn't one yet. It's mostly stock launcher and browser. I'm considering returning it but that seems unnecessary for a software issue. Any thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] evo5150:
it sounds like it could be a software issue.. did you update it after you took it out of the box? Try that and if that doesn't work you should reboot and try and clear your cache files.. GL and welcome to the TF300 WORLD!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marksman34:
I cleared the cache on my launcher and browser, seems to be good now. I cleared my browser several times and nothing, so it must have been the launcher causing trouble with everything. My keyboard even works better now! Only time will tell if it comes back, thanks for the tip.

Edit: i checked for firmware updates in settings and there was nothing, so either best buy did it or there isn't any.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
Running CM7.1 and only get 30 minutes of record before it automatically stops. Anyone know of a program that can record longer? fyi, it isn't sdcard space, I have a 32 GB card with > 15 GB free.

thanks,

brad
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
It has that limit probably to protect the sensor from overheating... if you want to use your phone as a security camera, there are apps that will only start recording if motion is detected!

The other reason for the limit might be international regulations; i.e. if it can record for more than 30 minutes you have to call it a video camcorder, and there are other taxes/regulations/restrictions around that. If that's the case then you shouldn't have an issue finding a dev who has already worked around it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualflyer:
As far as I know it's not to overheat the sensor but to avoid paying taxes for it as a camcorder as you said. It would be a illegal to avoid this restrinction I think
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
I have been thinking about getting a Razr maxx for the battery life as my nexus won't last through a day and its getting really old. I plan on keeping my nexus however I will be keeping it as a backup. I'm getting a 500 dollar gift card from signing up for fios so I figure I'll put it to use and only pay 150 out of pocket. Is there anything that I need to know with the phone really? I had a bionic prior to my nexus and the screen left something to be desired. How much better than the bionic/ worse than the nexus is it? I'm looking forward to the build quality of the razor but what are the biggest issues you guys have run into so far. If any of you guys have used a bionic you know the feeling of the screen kind of crawling while looking at it, is that still present?

Sorry for the long winded post, the biggest thing I am worried about is the screen quality. Is it acceptable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CSharpHeaven:
Please read the following thread without assuming I intend to pursuit you away from purchasing Razr Maxx. Please pay extra attention to the possibility of the release of new Razr line phones soon. Good Luck.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
I think you'll love the Razr Maxx. I'm coming from a Droid X with the larger extended battery and the difference... in everything... is day and night. As you know, the battery life is phenomenal. After the first few days of sketchy "break in" time where the battery and the phone seem to shake hands and get to know each other or something, I go 2 full days between charges... and even then, it's just a top off charge. Here, the battery had JUST dropped to 40%:

I can't speak as to how it compares to those other phones, but I can say it's the best phone I've owned. It can go toe-to-toe with the best iPhone out there and win in many category. The same goes for other Android phones.

The only negatives I'd say I find are 1) the gallery doesn't seem to separate pictures from videos like my old Droid X and my tablet, and 2) although the screen is amazing with sharp detail and fantastic color, it is a little dark occasionally some details get lost in shadows. Nothing that would make me remotely consider another phone, though.

And dammit... $500 for FiOS?? Those jerks only gave me $150 to switch!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
Thanks, I'll check that thread out. This isnt really a necessary purchase so I can wait a month or so for something better if that's what is in that thread. And as far as the gift card goes...yeah, I was happy to switch away from Comcast, the gift card just put the icing on the cake. I like my nexus but the battery life is more than lacking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Yeah, that thread... and all the other ones that member created... really won't apply to you as a U.S. customer. Motorola has been great with updates. I've had 2 major updates since early March and we're getting Ice Cream Sandwich in about 3 weeks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
wifi range is the worst of any device I've ever owned in over 10 years. other than that it is amazing
[Motorola Droid RAZR] NCRoadster:
I had the Galaxy Nexus, and like you I got tired of the bad battery life.

Got the Maxx, and I've been really satisfied. I went through my first charge on wifi, and I got 8 hours of screen on time. That's insane! I was only expecting 6 or so.

On LTE, I get less, but it still lasts me the whole day.

I thought I wouldn't like the screen since it's qHD, but I think it looks great.

If you can wait tho, I would wait for the Maxx HD/Fighter that's supposed to come out rather soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
Agreed. Don't know if it will get any better with ICS or it's a hardware problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I agree!! The Wi-Fi range kinda sucks. But other than that, phone is great. Not too fond of the display either but I've seen worst.

I came from the Epic Touch which has that super amoled plus display (second best after retina in my opinion).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
The screen is mindbogglingly bad, mostly in displaying whites. Yellow when looked at straight on, blue from angles. Even though the Bionic has a PenTile LCD (Same one as in the DX2 & Photon IIRC, probably in Droid 3 & 4 too), it's a lot nicer, with the exception of blacks where OLEDs remain king. Make sure your eyes are okay with it, especially if you're coming from the Galaxy Nexus' display. Mine hurt after looking at the RAZR for too long.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
I tend to analyze my screens a lot. If the maxx is that bad on the screen, I can hold off a month or so til the razr fighter or HD or whatever drops. And after checking it out it looks like it could be a very nice device, especially if it has a 3300 mah battery in it like the maxx. What are the rumored release dates for the phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MillionManMosh:
The current Razrs have a gorgeous panel. No concrete information on whether the HD version will be an AMOLED, SLCD or something else. If you like the Razr's screen, though, it's probably worth waiting for the HD so the price drops on the Maxx.

As for release dates, it was supposed to be the middle of this month last I heard. Won't be till after the Incredible 4G at least.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
wow you are all so picky about the screen! I still have	Galaxy S that I use as an MP3 player and I think the screen is at least as nice, maybe nicer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
In all fairness, I'm going to be spending close to 700 dollars on this device. I want it to be a screen I enjoy looking at every day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
well I spent almost that much, enjoy looking at the screen every day, and still haven't seen better. maybe IP4 is nicer but I haven't compared them side by side.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
I get really good wifi range. The 181 seems to help or its just me. Either way my maxx is above and beyond what I expected.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eakeller:
I also switched from the Galaxy Nexus to the Maxx due to battery life on the GN. There is no question that the Nexus has the superior screen, but the Maxx is very good as well.

I also had a Bionic and was afraid the Maxx would have as bad of a display - but that's not the case. It is much, much better than the Bionic, but still not quite as beautiful as the Nexus.

Guess we can't have everything.....my choice is phenomenal battery life and very good screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Honestly the display on the Galaxy Nexus and HTC Rezound 720p HD is awesome on full brightness, but how often will you have your phone on full brightness? The beauty of their displays doesn't show much if you turn the brightness down or off, it really only shows off on full brightness in my opinion. The Maxx doesn't have a horrible screen at all, like I've mention I've seen worst. I came from Super Amoled Plus, say what you want about that but it's freaking awesome to me. Once the Maxx gets the official ICS, the phone may not have an HD display but the awesome battery makes up for it for me. How many smartphones out there will last you all day (24 hours) with "heavy usage"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Touch-ee:
The Razr screen is not bad at all. My Thunderbolt screen was a little better for sure but not enough to really care about. After 1 hour you dont even notice the difference.

I know there are already similar posts, but I have some slightly different questions,

1. Is there any way to get just hspa, or just get 3g?

2. I somtimes have full signal but nothing will load?

3. No matter if I am on edge, hspa, or 3g I get EXTREMELY slow speeds (I almost always have a full signal)

4. Is there a way to get get back on the regular (non MTD) roms?

THANK YOU!!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Hello,

you should have explored the CM7 threads before posting, but yea, you can ODIN / heimdall with repartion with all the stock KJ6 files to flash to stock.

You may be in a bad area with slower 4g.(yes there is a difference)

when signal shows 3g, you are on 3g. There is no need to be on 4g while idle. When using increased data, "like downloading or xda app, IDK:)" you will switch to h, which is 4g.

The signal issue i guess is just a CM7 / stock issue, which may be solved with a full AOSP kernel that bhundven is working on. Honestly IDK. Just go into airplane mode and out. your signal should be fixed.

Sirius XM updated their app the other day to v 2.0. Lots of great new features added. On the market it still says it's incompatible with the XOOM but I side loaded the apk out of my GNex and it works PERFECTLY. It even has a tables friendly layout!. Its a free app so I figured I would share.

Just be aware you need a Sirius XM subscription to use it.

[General Questions and Answers] No_Nickname90:
I had a quick question. I wanted to know if ICS saves your Face Recognition. Lyk when you're training your face and you do those random training sessions. Does it save if you turn the security off?

For example, I have it train my face when I'm out and about. When I get back home, I don't need security, so I want to turn it off. If I turn it back on, will I need to retrain my face?

I mean, can't really use Face unlock at night when I'm laying down. LoL!! I want to start using security, but I don't want to erase all my random training sessions every tym I go home. LoL!!

Yea. I've done test at home. Had Face Recognition and went to a spot where it couldn't recognize me, so I trained me face there. Turned it off and tried again and had to retrain my face.

[HTC Rezound] mj23kb08:
I currently have a Droid X and I plan to upgrade to a Rezound this June. Anyway, one of the things I love most about my X is syncing my Wii remote to my phone and using it with my video game emulators. I've heard however that the wii remote isn't compatible with Sense. Has anyone figured out a way to make it work on the Rezound yet?
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
Sense removes a lot of protocols for bluetooth functionality. It is deep in sense and to re-enable it requires a custom kernel and custom bluetooth stack, which basically means no one bothers. The hardware can use it no problem, but the software does not. Once we have AOSP, Wii remote functionality will work natively. At this current time, we do not have any options for Wii Remote on rezound.
[HTC Rezound] mj23kb08:
What about this? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/htc-rezound-aosp-ice-cream-sandwich-rom/

It appears to be an AOSP "senseless" ICS rom. If I flash this would I have my wii remote capabilities again?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You would have no wifi or data.....
[HTC Rezound] mj23kb08:
Why would I have no wifi or data?
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
you would have wifi and data for senseless rom's

However i don't think senseless would provide what your looking for.

You will need a true native asop rom and kernel, people are working on these but it will take time.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
nope, but knock yourself out trying. That is based on the leaked ICS RUU which is sense based. Real AOSP roms are not sense based. That one will have the same bluetooth stack as the stock rom.

Until someone gets RIL working on AOSP, the rezound will not control a wii remote.

and one more thingh: i have 2 weeks left on the garanti, so if i return it to the store will it be still supported or they'll say it's no longer so coz i installed another rom on board? coz my tablet is having problems with the battery and some other stuff.
