[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
Im talking about just regular stock gingerbread apps, so I guess that would be samsung gingerbread apps. Up until the last few months Ive used stock gingerbread that came with the phone. Couple months ago I rooted my phone and flashed ICS on there and have loved it since, but these apps are the only thing I miss from Gingerbread. If I downloaded Tibu onto my moms Samsung Fascinate (stock, brand new) and backed up those apps as .apk files and copied them over to my phone, would I be able to install them on my phone even though Im using a samsung captivate with aokp milestone 5 flashed? Or would that give me issues?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That makes sense, since stock ICS isn't going to have those apps. As I said, Doc's Master ICS has a lot of those. I'm pretty sure you will have trouble installing them manually. There may be a way that I don't know of though.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
Thanks. I might give it a try, I really dont like the ICS versions of those apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jef023:
Hey Bdithug, I was wondering if you found a solution to this issue? I just hate the stock calculator from ICS also, but the one from Gingerbread was great. I have golaucher and APW widgets installed so I'm using their clock and calendar which are pretty good...

Let me know if it worked out for you installing the stock gingerbreag calculator apk onto your ICS phone...

Tx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
I tried it. It didnt work. I downloaded apk extractor to send the .apk file from a stock fascinate on gb. when i tried installing the .apk file on my ics cappy it wouldnt let me because of the apps with the same name. so i uninstalled the ics calculator and calendar with tibu, and tried again, and still wouldnt let me. i just i have to resort to a 3rd party app from the market. still dont know why google would have removed features from the calculator app in the first place, thats not usually how updates to apps work. the calendar app for ics is a complete joke. still have not found a quick easy, simple yet attractive calendar app for android.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekric19:
i have tried Doc's Master ICS, i didnt like it 'cuz i felt it a little unstable, now i'm using Slim ICS, happy whith it, but i was wondering how can i do to install the Samsung Stock Camera APK?? or another one like that???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seryogin:
I run Nostalgia 6.2 and happy with most of the apps. It's based on Slim ICS, but has all the things that I was missing in Slim :)

I like most of the apps that came with Nostalgia. I did install RealCacl to replace the stock one. RealCal is more of a scientific calculator.

Still getting used to the blue on dark theme. Especially in some html Gmail messages it really gets me :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
I stuck with aokp and installed acalendar app, easy calculator, and stop watch & timer.

Much better apps than ics stock calendar, calculator and clock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilNexus:
Ok, So i'm running CM9 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and I have google wallet installed, I can open it, even got my free 10bucks when I setup my google prepaid card however I try and use it at paypass locations and can never get it to scan.

Any advice? NFC is turned on btw

I had this happen to me once also, but rebooting the phone fixed it.
[LG Optimus 2x] skoins:
Hi

I need a new phone, and I have come down to either the Optimus 2x or the Huawei Honor being the best options for me.

I am mostly interested in the 2x due to its good specs, however my research tells me that it was full of bugs to begin with. I am not very fond of using custom ROMs, so my question is, how is it running with the latest official update??
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
The latest official firmware (v20q) is very good. You will be satisfied on stock. However, if you ever want, installing custom rom is not a big deal. Do some reading in dev section and you are good to go. And there is very good stock based custom roms, which you can flash once and no need to change/upgrade anymore :).
[LG Optimus 2x] skoins:
Thanks good to hear, I heard a few horror stories about the phone, but I think it was with the original rom which was full of bugs...so there is no problem with it today? (if updated)
[LG Optimus 2x] lionheartpl:
I think it is a good phone but there are some better options out there.

My carrier, for instance offers the galaxy nexus for the exact same price today(it hadn't launched here when I got my O2x). SII seems to be better too, but it's also more pricy.
[LG Optimus 2x] skoins:
yeah but they seem more expensive. I think spec-wise you dont find a phone matching it for the price, I was just wondering about its actual use.
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Do not buy this. It is a fail phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] skoins:
Really? What do you mean?
[LG Optimus 2x] ktxed:
If you don't have a problem waiting for the ICS update go ahead :D
[LG Optimus 2x] skoins:
well, it should be out sometime this year, and if their 2.3 works well then I can easily wait
[LG Optimus 2x] tomsi91:
you should and you should use stock 20q rom with gueste kernel, his app for adjust everything is amazing, for example you turn on zram in there and low ram problem has gone
[LG Optimus 2x] imars99:
Great phone go ahead.

Physically the strongest phone I've used! matches the Nokia 3310 as far as im concerned, missed my pockets many of times and its gone crashing down to the concrete, screen hasn't cracked. I always use a screen protector so idk about scratches.

Stock roms are pretty slow, you cannot brick this phone so why not try Temaseks CM7? Lightning fast

Everyone loves to complain about the battery but that's life, depends how you use it.
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
It's a good device IMHO. Latest updates should keep you pretty much satisfied with it.

Sent using some sticks and gum, just as McGyver would
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
As Mungulz has said, its almost can be possible to brick this device. Its great for trying new roms if your new to the custom world (:
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
Sorry to say but i actually agree.

The problems i had:

- for three months i couldn't make calls under 3g regardless of baseband /ril combo or rom. I wasn't the only one witht his problem, other people with LG had this problem too.

- the radio of the phone goes off randomly if you are in area with bad coverage and doesn't come back until you restart the phone.

- i have four bars and still sometime i can't receive calls, one time i was waiting a phone call and i was actually watching the phone and saw full coverage, i received a sms from my carrier saying " somebody called you while you were unreachable". It's a known problem that lg has never fixed, some devices have this problem some don't.

There are better phones for your money, personally i'll never buy anything from lg again. The 2x is a cheap phone with performance yes but it misses an important part: the phone itself (phone calls, radio signal) sucks.
[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
Calling quality is bad, other than that, you can find many roms for it, that can work well and suit all your needs.

[LG Optimus 2x] Durio:
Got this phone secondhand for 190 euros. the phone will be overheated if you use it heavily during charging. No problem otherwise:)
[LG Optimus 2x] marcof93:
If you want to buy it as second-hand phone (about 200€) I think you are going to make a good choise..if you are going to spend 300€ or more, you are doing a bad choise..the hardware is very good but the 2x tegra2 platform is no more supported by nvidia and lg is not so good in making software..so I think you are obliged to install a custom rom
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
I have rethought everything.

Should I keep my H1X and buy the Galaxy Note II when it comes out in Q3, or return the H1X which has overheating problems (as most do) and buy the SGS3 when it comes out instead.

Which do I choose? I need to decide by the end of today, please be honest!
[HTC One X] rajitsingh:
Wow! Just wow!
[HTC One X] treebill:
sadly this is a choice only you can make, remember HOX give you full tregra games, s3 does not.

plus sense looks much better then touch thingy bobber.

also may i add no over heating problems here, or any other problems for that matter.
[HTC One X] gdelrosario:
is this serious ?

suppose it is, what exactly are the benefits you are looking for?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Sounds like you want a Samsung device. In that case return your HOX and wait for the Samsung device.

All the pros and cons of this phone are listed on this forum. But only you can judge what's right for you. :)
[HTC One X] dragon546:

[HTC One X] tku137:
I just don't get why anyone with a working phone should exchange it with e.g. a Samsung one. HOX is such a great phone, imho

My Samsung experience started with the Omnia II, which was -to say the least- such a crap that I was really quite "happy" when my girlfriend dropped it after I got it 3 Month. I instantly bought the Galaxy S, sold the Omnia II when it was repaired. Was using the Galaxy S for 2 years now and honestly... touchwiz und stuff is kind of kindergarden shti compared to Sense, it was a solid phone, no doubt, but compared to my new HOX, its quality was kind of kindergarden, too.

I still think the Galaxy S is a quite good phone and I was happy with it. There were little drawbacks I could ignore all the time. BUT ONLY if you pull on Cyanogenmod or at least some other custom rom. Stock firmware was always terribly unresponsive, laggy, buggy and stuff... Sure one can't compare the pure hardware specs because just everything in the HOX is just plain 'better', except maybe soundchips, because Galaxy S had a quite impressive Wolffson soundchip

And whats it about with "overheating"? The Galaxy got hot when you played some games with crap graphics, battery dropped out very fast, especially after a year of use. Now with the HOX I'm playing games with very impressive graphics on 4+1 cores, and the phone doesn't get very hotter then my Galaxy S, plus the battery lasts longer then I'm willing to play ^^ PLUS I don't have to wait an eternity till the phone is responsive again after quitting the game...

So after over 2 years of Samsung, I would recommend the HOX to everyone (except you're really a Samsung "fanboy" ;) ). Even though I was one of the folks who had to get it replaced through warrenty first...
[HTC One X] rd_nest:
Buy all of them and keep them all. You may need extra cell phones for the rainy days :)
[HTC One X] kirdroid:
Galaxy s and omnia? You should have used either the gs2, note or galaxy nexus before passing comments on Samsung.

Anyway to the op...one x is a great phone and I bet the gs3 will be a great phone as well. It's what you want now as there are always new android phones releasing all the time. And for problems you will see similar problems will be posted when gs3 is released. Just visit any device forum it's full of problems (battery issue, screen issue, camera issue).

So bottom line just get the device you like and be done with it.
[HTC One X] tku137:
Yea, should have written "after 3 month omnia2 and two years of Galaxy S" (but touchwiz is still almost the same on all of the latest Samsungs :-P ).

And for the GS i still think it's a great phone (especial with cm9 kang/nightly), and I'm sure latest Samsungs are too, but all I was trying to say is: IMHO HOX is the better phone for me and I would recommend it :-)
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
If you can live with the UI go for the Samsung as you seem to like them!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tuktukscotty:
I have had my Tab for a while now and overall am well impressed with it. I have it rooted so that I can use What'sapp but apart from that it is totally stock.

The issues I am having are:

Firstly, when I go to Facebook through Browser sometimes it just hangs. I have tried to attach a picture of what I mean. I have tried clearing cache etc but still it hangs. The only way I have found to get it to work again is to turn my router off and back on. I don't think it is the router that is at fault as it only happens on my tab and not on any phones, laptops or Pc's in the house. Anyone any ideas??

Second issue is, Even though I have flash player installed and up to date some websites say that I need to install flash player to view this video/image.....

P.s. I have a 7310

Any help would be much appreciated....

Thanks in advance

[Acer Iconia A500] tveith:
Hello all,

I purchased my Acer Iconia A500 several months ago - living in Toronto, Canada. I registered my device but was stuck at 3.0.1 for almost a month. Finally, I received an OTA and my A500 was upgraded to 3.2. I waited and waited - now almost two months, and have still not received the update to 3.2.1. Now that ICS is rolling out, I am not being offered the upgrade because my device seems to be stuck at 3.2.

Acer has been no help - still waiting to hear from their "second level" support. So my question is - does anybody have an easy way for me to get this !@##$%%^^&&*& device upgraded safely to 3.2.1 so I can get my ICS update? I've read thread after thread but none of them seem to give any clear instructions for what I should do.

Advice / help would be greatly appreciated :)
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
To receive the ICS update, you must have the Iconia Tab Updater installed from the Google Play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5GRC51cGRhdGVyIl0.

make sure you have this installed and up to date.
[Acer Iconia A500] rascalsblade:

It would be awesome to change this.

I just found that tweak today! (Changing some registy values myself)

Go to: Local Machine\System\Input

enter in the folder that corresponds your alnguage id (in my case is lang_0416 for Portuguese Brazilian)

add the string ".disable" in the end of the values of "Dictionary File" and "HTR Dictionary File" and restart your phone.

Next time you type something, you should not be bothered again with the prediction and auto correct.
[Nokia Lumia 800] fabiode34:
Hi guys! You problems with the phone vibration ends here!

Access the phone registry and go to "Current User\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring"

First go to: RingerOffVibrateOn

and change script value to: av0.1v2.2w2r

Now go to: RingerOnVibrateOn

and change script value to: av0.1v2.1w0.1v1.pr

DONE!

Reboot isn't required. Call your phone and you will see the classic vibration while on silent.

Unfortunately the phone cannot vibrate and ring... Only vibrate, then ring.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

I don't know if i'm really helping here...

If you found out that your alarm volume is too low... You can go to in registry: "Current User\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Alarm\RingOnVibrateOn"

Change script to: p

yes... just "p" (that means PLAY)

it will not change the volume at all... it will just play in the same volume as your ringtone ^^
[HTC One S] nozzla:
Got my one s from three and was wondering if anyone knows if rooting voids warranty? Already got loose volume buttons so don't want to root if it has to go back to be replaced. Cheers.
[HTC One S] Komadyret:
If volumbutton already is loose, I'd return it ASAP anyway.

But unlocking through htcdev and then rooting won't in general void the warranty unless it is rather obvious that the damage is caused as a result of the unlocking/rooting (overheating due to overclocking or bricking the device during software-tampering are things that comes to mind).
[HTC One S] kolyan:
Tmobile said it doesnt.....but rep probably had no idea what i was talking about
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Rooting as in htcdev doesn't void her...but if you root it and install some other variant you might have problems..although even HTC are starting yo get wise and don't care anymore
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
Could you please link me to where this is stated by HTC?
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
It's in the disclaimer. Part of your warranty may be void if you unlock the bootloader, which is necessary for rooting.
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
I thought he was saying that it would NOT void warranty.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Rooting technically doesn't void the warranty, but unlocking the bootloader *may*.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
true :) but in order to get root you need to unlock bootloader.. Stupid or what ??

some people just want root only, Just for some apps. they shouldnt be punished for voiding warranty

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danney92:
Hello,

Sorry for my bad english.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, and flash'ed the Resurrection Remix 1.7 ROM. BEST!

What I missed is a Taskmanager like the original Samsung ROM Taskmanager.

You can see what is open (okay... I can see this with ICS too), whats in the Background open (this I cant see), and how much RAM it eats /how much RAM is free...

I looked at the Play Store, and there are Apps, they are old (are they still ICS compatible?), or they are ugly or have Ads like "Wanna have better Battery!?! OMG!!! Download my all-can-fix-app here".

I dont want anything, only the funktion, whats in the Background open, and how much RAM it eats... Like in the Samsung ROM with the one widget.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hope you can help me. Becouse I dont find something...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
+1 I was wondering about this too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefa1con:
you dont need a task manager on android

android manages ram differently

if you kill a app with a taskmanager

android will just restart it= wastage of battery life

apps in the back ground are frozen and wont affect performance but u can remove them in the ics multitasking UI
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danney92:
Thanks for the answer.

But when I will watch/show (...my english... ugly!) what is in the background? Or what CPU eats?

Can ICS show me this too? Becouse I doesent find enything. In Stuck ICS from Samsung, I can watch it, and so I can see, for example:

I have installed "Testapp A", and I wonder, why the battery will be so short, I go to Samsung Taskmanager, and it shows me that the App running in the Background, so I go to Play Store, and delete this app. So it dont running more...

With Stuck ICS I wonder, why the battery goes down... I looked. And an App was in Background. A Game... So I have deleted this crap.

Do you know what I mean? Its for me more Diagnostical, I know, when I kill something, it will restart.

Maybie it´s not a Taskmanager, it´s more a Diagnostical app?

Sorry for this english.
