[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
Thunderbolt vs Droid 4

My wife has a Thunderbolt and I have a Droid 4. As far as comparing the two, the Thunderbolt does have the advantage of an unlocked boot loader, and tons of ROMs, however...

Our D4 ICS ROMs are more functional than the Thunderbolt's since they have no RIL(data/phone) so really they are unusable at this point in time. My wife currently runs Virus' InfectedEternity ROM, which is great but it's a GB ROM with Sense 3.5. She envies my software all the time especially now that the D4 ICS Roms have stable data. The wifi tether app works great. The only things which do not work in our ICS ROMs are the HW video codecs (which might be coming once we can flash custom kernels and use open source since a TI license is required for our codecs), and the advanced ICS camera functions (face detect).

As far as hardware, the D4 is definitely superior. The only benefits the Thunderbolt has are a slightly bigger screen (0.3" bigger), and a better camera. Otherwise the D4 wins all day with a better looking screen (Tbolt is older TFT), a faster processor (dual core OMAP4430 vs single core snapdragon), better touchscreen, better call quality (both are excellent though), and better battery life. The D4 even has a physical keyboard (the greatest phone keyboard ever) and they are still about the same thickness.

Overall, the D4 is definitely superior to the Thunderbolt. Development is booming for the Thunderbolt, but is at a standstill until ICS leaks, whereas we are on the verge of bypassing the D4's boot loader with kholk's kernel, which means our development should blow up in the coming months.

Why htc or other brand don't make roms instead of the updates they do, that would be so great wouldn't it ?

Hello

I would like to know how I can hide this icon, whenever I write something and get the keyboard this icon always appears in the notification bar, before I had a 4.0.3 ROM and it never was, but now update my rom to 4.0.4 and always comes when I write and I do not like that, Anyone knows how to hide it?:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
This icon is on all ICS versions. If you use stock keyboard it is hidden (cause you have that function when long pressing space), but on all others it will show.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Well obviously it was not on previous versions because the OP did not see it. I also never saw it on the stock versions when I had it. AOKP has the option to remove the IME switcher in their ROM Control, but it seems the OP is using a stock ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
use a rom such as AOKP and hide "Show IME Chooser" in rom control
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
im using the new EaglesBlood ROM 4.0.4, old version 4.0.3 dont show me this icon and i dont like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Uncheck all the other keyboards you don't want in language & input.

For example. If you just want the stock keyboard with voice typing only check "google voice typing"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Get rid of the PinyinIME and OpenWnn from the ROM and it should go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
Geez, it's just a small notification while you're inside a text box. Concentrate on writing and ignore it.

... before I try to send the phone out for warranty.

Turns out, I bought a docomo samsung galaxy nexus (from negri). I have not received for a while (out of the country) but finally got my hands onto it last saturday. I booted the device, no simcard, just load the configuration. For any reason, it stayed on my desk all week discharging.

Yesterday I tried to unlock the thing and it was dead. I remove the battery, fired it up and still nothing. Then I connect the wall charger, it is from my current phone, a galaxy s2. It charged for two hours or something, i then tried to boot, but it was stuck. I performed the boot on recovery mode, and it finally solved the issues and here we go, the phone booted correctly. I unlocked the phone, just to see that the battery information is 0% and the phone just went off as I saw the power usage statistics. And this time for good, its been sitting charged but nothing happens. I tried the legacy s2 charger, my car charger, and the original nexus charger that was sent on the box.

Since is a new phone for me, I do not know how what to expect. For example, in my s2, if its charging even with a depleted battery there is this led notification. In the nexus there is nothing. No led, no on screen animation. How can I discard is just a battery issue and not a general fault in the device ? Connected to the charger, is it possible to do something with no battery ?

My intention is to discard the battery issue first, so I might bite the bullet buying a new one, because dealing with the warranty (outside the us) might be a pain.

Thanks in advance.

Belkin gold plated hdmi cable ?
[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
Have you thought of looking on eBay? After all there's likely to be far more people selling their devices on there than there will be on a forum dedicated to those who by definition, wish to keep their Iconias.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Agree that eBay would be the place to look for what they're selling for... but why not have both? I have a Razr and an a500 and both get a lot of use... and with the 4G on my phone, I use that for wifi tethering and it works great. There's times where the bulk of a tablet is not inconvenient and I carry just my phone, and there's time where the large real estate of the 10.1" screen is a plus and I use the tablet.

Bottom line, I get a lot of use out of each.
[Acer Iconia A500] leo72793:
I agree. My Iconia has given me great use. But now it ha become a dust collector in its box. I rather pass it onto someone who can use it more

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
So I recieved one of those ebay generic batteries with the Black and white leabel yesterday.

it was marked 2600 mAh rating.

I peeled back the label to see whats underneath. Much to my surprise there was no casing! Its just a thin plastic frame around the outside. The cell inside did not even take up all the space. there was 1/8" X 1" thick strip of foam along the length.

I'm not gonna rip open my OEM battery but damn...I'm sure the Samsung isnt like that!

So after a full charge, the battery life was pretty dismal. 2 hrs of light use, no games, brought it down to 60%. then i went to sleep. in the morning it dropped to 33%. from that point i went down to zero after 1 hr of web browsing, sitting on my desk.

i'll upload pics later

EDIT: just slapped in the 2nd fully charged battery. its down to 87%. i took like 3 photos and nothing else. FAIL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netnerd:
not all generic batteries are suck!

i bet your generic battery is lighter in weight?

Anker battery weight the same as oem samsung battery.

i havnt used oem samsung battery after i got my Anker batteries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
I should specify ebay ones. Yeah i ordered a pair of ankers and a charger this morning. I however did see some nice looking battery cases with 3500mAh ratings, kind of like an external sleeve/backing.

however this makes the phone even longer and thicker, but not as gross looking as the 5000mAh double sized batteries. sadly, they are in the $45 range

EDIT: like this

http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/...laxy-Note-i9220-GT-N7000-Galaxy-Note-LTE.html

i wouldn't buy from here tho. seems sketchy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
I don't find the logic in such a stereotypical post.

I bought similar...from a US seller...shipped from the US. ...same result...crap batteries

Seller did refund half of the purchase price and told me to keep the batteries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vanemburghj:
HHHUMMMM you spend $10 and .....

complain it is a piece of crap, not sure if you know you get what you pay for in this world. Continue to go cheap and you get cheap at some point you have to spend money for quality. Not saying the most expensive is the best, but do your research and buy the best bang for the buck vice the cheapest for the buck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netnerd:
go look at this freaking loser review on amazon. he spent 14.99$ for 2 batteries and charger, that is like 5$ for each item. And he get pissed off cus the charger takes too long to charge compare to samsung charger.

that is like getting a kia and get pissed off cus it' not as smooth or as comfortable compare to Mercedes!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
I have 2 Anker batteries and they seem comparable to my OEM's. No better, no worse. Hopefully in time they will still perform.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garbagedump481:
They aren't even broken in yet.

In the end, they will still suck, but hopefully not that bad. I wouldn't try to use your camera with flash on using an aftermarket battery though :p

EDIT: Also some gentleman was selling OEM note batteries, wall charger adapter, and a USB cable for 20$ shipping on eBay. I picked one up, it's perfect, and a steal of a deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
well ive been trying to cylcle them a few time turning EVERYTHING on and maxing brightness etc.

still. felt like i opened a big bag of chips and finding it only half full. Im curious if others found the same thing in "better" batteries?

EDIT: I fully knew i wouldnt be getting the full rated mAh as i just wanted cheap, backup batteries. I've bought many of these before, but never opened them till now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
These batteries have since been retired. Do yourselves a favor, buy the "Anker" brand batteries. Theyare as good as oem and cheap too. Under $20 for two including a stand alone charger with usb output and 600mA.

Hello experts,

I have a question, and have done some reading, but can't find the answer I hope to hear. I know that I can run some emulators that run Android on the PC, but what I haven't heard is if I can run an alternate launcher on the PC.

what I want to do is run SSLauncher the Original on my PC so that I can easily create the screens I want. Make my modifications from the comfort of my desk using keyboard and mouse instead of my phone. And then maybe take that and install to my phone. If not, at least I would know how to make it and the steps would be alot quicker doing it right before hand.

So, is this something I can do, and if so, how? Thanks in advance for all the help guys and gals!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] psyqiq:
Can somebody please port the Bravia Engine for the GT-i9000 to work with ICS?

I personally tested it on GB and it`s just amazing.

I really think it should be a standard on all ICS roms simply because it would compliment the rom and make it look even better than it is already.

The colors are so vibrant and vivid with this engine and it would be a shame not to port this beautiful thing.

I am asking all the devs out there to sacrifice a bit of your time and look into this.

It would be ideal a full working port with support for AOSP and AOKP roms.

ykk_five already did it for the SGSII : http://goo.gl/68j3M

I encourage all the SGS users who want this, to write down their thoughts about it and to support this.

Thank you and I hope to see this soon on our SGS`s.

though it was explained well by codeworx and supercurio that this what you call bravia engine port is a mix of cyan and stock files. whole thing can not work without a service baked into system

[Galaxy S I9000 General] psyqiq:
are you for real?

can`t thank you enough for clarifying this, but I`m afraid you went a bit over your head.Firstly I don`t really care about the implications needed to make this work, don`t care if it needs a service baked into the system or not and really don`t care at all about all there is needed to be done and what are the mechanics behind this port and the way it SHOULD run etc.

I tried it on GB, I liked it and I wanted it on ICS. Simple as that.

If u wanna help then do it, but don`t come here lecturing me for nothing.

Plus, it`s even more funny you called me a newbie. Heh. DO YOU KNOW ME OR?

There is a chance I might know more than you could ever understand.

Since I bought my phone I have trouble playing videos in gallery, I finally found what is bugging the playback (electric sound and FC) it's an app called ''htcmediacacheservice'', when I kill this app in Task Manager the video playbak is good but after some trials this app will come back again bugging videos.

Am I the only one to have this buggy service/app?

Deleting it in titanium backup would be good?

I just updated using the 1.29 RUU and currently restoring everything

I think this app is here to ''help'' the video player with cache,but sometimes this cache get's buggy or the app itself is not stable,I have found a list of ''deletable'' apps in Sense and this one can be deleted without affecting stability

Do you think it's bad ram?

5th battery saver core of Tegra3 to save battery it

its runs in the default video player to play h264 videos and when the screen is turned off

Hi,

I think I'm having same issue with video playback. It runs most of the time smooth, but sometimes sound "clicks" and video pauses for some part of a second and run further ok. I killed that cache media service mentioned before but it didn't help. Any idea what else can be wrong?

I'm on stock 1.29 rom.

I stumbled across this on rootzwiki, I guess it is an ICS version of MIUI. Either way, I was curious why there are no Galnet ROMs here on XDA. It runs android 2.3.9, and can use the MIUI modified Morfic ELP and T15 kernels.

Anyone besides me giving this a shot?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Its been out for a while and its half ass ics meaning it isn't ics just has framework from within it. If you search the right stuff you'll find a thread about it... and galnet doesn't allow there links on xda for some reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Yea I don't care if it's fully ICS or not. It runs well on my phone with the T15 kernel and I did the GUI over most GB and I'm starting to like this more than ICS. MIUI has a LOT of customization and themes which is awesome since I'm always changing ROMs.

I was looking around and I saw some stuff about Galnet being banned from XDA for whatever reason. Oh well, rootzwiki is where it's at for this ROM, the latest build was on 4/17 if anyone is interested.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pio_masaki:
Yeah I've run the galnet MIUI with the trin 1.56 kernel. Runs good enough and I've always been a supporter of MIUI, and generally fall back to it even on my g2x. Usually I run singh-ui from here on xda. I've heard that MIUI China at least is dropping P990 GB so our ports are likely done after the 4-17 and 4-20 ports. MIUI Scotland or galnet may keep going though.

Ok, forgive my noobness...

I am on AOKP MS5 with Franco Kernel MS3. But, I am on the IMM30B radios (I think - baseband says I515.09 V.FA02 / I515.FA02).

I would like to upgrade to the IMM76K radios (FC05 / FC05). But, how do I do this? I know I can just flash them like any other update, but I read somewhere that it only works if coming from the 4.0.2 radios. Is that true? Do I need to downgrade to 4.0.2 radios before upgrading to the 76K 4.0.4 or can I go from 30B 4.0.4 to 76K?

Also, are the MD5 sums different for each file? I hear people saying to check the MD5 values, but they are all different. Does that mean they are actually different versions of the radios, or are MD5 values just a unique identifier for the file?

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I came from the fa02 radios too- no problems at all- just flash in cwm. the CDMA one takes a while to flash, so don't panic :) The md5 is a digital signature to make sure your downloaded copy is the exact same file (not corrupted) as the original, so your md5 should match the one provided by the op exactly.

What about the MD5 values? Are all the 4.0.4 76K radio packages the same thing, even though the MD5 values are different?

As I understand it, they are not all created equal. Some are upgrades from certain existing radios (may not be 100% accurate here). Anyhow, I know this one is a full radio update: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630438
