[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DFWDraco76:
I bought my SPH-L700 through wirefly.com b/c it was $50 cheaper than getting it directly through Sprint. It arrived last week, and I couldn't have been more excited.

Unfortunately I'm now extremely anxious, and am second guessing whether I even want this phone.

The audio is so low, and would vary from one app to the next, even one minute to the next. After browsing the forums and Google, I installed Volume+. The volume problem is better, but I'm not happy that I have to install a 3rd party app for something like this.

The TTS voice changes sporadically when I'm using Google Navigation. The voice sounds all nice and pretty most of the time, but then will switch to a basic computerized voice.

The battery life sucks - but I don't need to say anything more about that, we're all aware of that.

I've had really crappy experiences with bluetooth headsets. I talk on the phone often when I'm driving, so I really want a solid experience. I'm on my 3rd headset now, and all 3 have had popping, and audio fading in and out. My latest, a BlueAnt Q2, sounds great when streaming Pandora or listening to Google Navigation directions, but as soon as I get a call it sounds like crap. I just got off a call and the other party was griping about how bad I sounded to him too.

I'm 100% stock, unrooted at the moment. Is there a ROM that addresses these issues? Any other suggestions to improve this stuff? I really want to love this phone, but it's making it difficult...

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Most custom ROMs will fix the audio issue for you. I'm not sure if the TTS problem is related to the audio volume or not, but I know that I have fewer issues understanding what the navigation is telling me to do now that the volume issue is fixed.

For battery life, what do you consider terrible? What is your average screen on time, and total time on a single charge? Good/bad signal strength? Have you looked to see if you're phone is entering deep sleep?

As for the bluetooth headset, I've got nothing there as I don't use one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DFWDraco76:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Luckily I'm at my desk most of the day while I'm at the office, and have my phone plugged into my computer - if I weren't, I wouldn't make it through a full day.

Oh and another thing I forgot to mention in my first post - when I use the camera, my phone gets REALLY hot. Just one or two pics, then I back out to the home screen, and turn off the screen - but the battery starts to go really fast at that point, unless I turn the phone off and back on.

Signal strength is usually around 3 bars during the day (that's another thing - I miss the 4G I had on my Epic. Wish we could get 4G on this bad boy sometimesoon...). I'm on wifi at home.

I'd never heard of Deep Sleep until I read your post. I just installed CPU Spy to see if it enters that state... and it says 46% Deep Sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Heating up from taking pictures is not normal. You might want to get WF to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DFWDraco76:
Nobody else is having the issues with bluetooth audio quality during calls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Wish I could help but don't have a Bluetooth headset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
For the phone getting hot when using the camera issue, do you have instant upload enabled on Google+? If not, do you have a similar auto-share service enabled? I had instant upload enabled for G+ initially, and when I started taking a bunch of pictures, my phone would get hot. Not because of the camera, but because the phone was uploading a bunch of pictures. All the radio usage caused the phone to get warm. Turned off instant upload, and haven't had the problem since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DFWDraco76:
Yes, I did have instant upload enabled. I've disabled it...

But the bluetooth issues are a big deal for me. I'm in the process of exchanging the phone for a new one through Wirefly. For the record, their "standard" exchange policy is to have you send your phone in, THEN they send you the new one. For a mere $400 deposit, they'll send you the new one up front, then refund the deposit when they receive the returned unit. This is SO much fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
As a suggestion, should've gotten it through Sprint. They send you a replacement model, and if you don't ship back your old phone in like 2-3 weeks, they charge your account. Much easier, but I understand the frustration, don't blame the Gnex for that.

Anyways, try either SlimICS for a basic ICS rom, or AOKP. Haven't had a single problem with it on my GSM Nexus, or my gf with her Sprint Gnex. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DFWDraco76:
I got it through Wirefly b/c it was $50 cheaper. In the end, the deposit (for an "advance exchange") is refunded, so it's a moot point - just annoying. (I never blamed GNex for that part :) Just the battery life, audio levels, bluetooth audio quality, etc.)

Thanks for the ROM suggestions, I'm probably going to take the plunge and root the new phone when it gets here. I usually wait a year or so before rooting a new phone, but we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Oh as for the battery life, same thing I told her, turn connections off when you don't need them, such as Data, GPS, Bluetooth, etc. Lasts her like 2 days now on a single charge.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquethys:
Hi guys, today I tried to root my friend's captivate...apparently I'm not supposed to use Odin on that and got impatient and pulled the USB when Odin got stuck on one of the first steps...attached is what my friend's phone looks like now. I'm trying to use Odin now to flash I897UCKH3_I897UCKH3_I897UCKH3_HOME.tar

because apparently my phone is still in download mode and can take it. Now Odin just gives me another screenshot..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
That screen is fine. KK4 is the official ginger bread. I'd download the .tar file put it in the PDA slot and let it flash. FYI all you need to do for root is flash a kernel with CWM baked in I believe.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquethys:
THANKS GUYS!!!!

Erm, how do I flash the kernel with CWM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
With Odin. Still goes in the PDA slot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spritefish.fastburstcamera&hl=en

Haven't used it yet but ran across this
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Ive used this couple of times. Its really good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
Cool so our phone will have this feature like the One S if we ever get sense 4.0 running
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Our phone already got this feature. Actually, when i was back in Sensation we were using a ported camera from amaze to get the burst and panorama feature. to take burst shos, go select it as the shooting mode

What i like about the One S camera is taking picture while recording a video
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
Yes I know about that one but only 5 shots this app keeps going like the one s

That's what I mean
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
Ohhh. I get it. I use this app. Pretty awesome
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
Yeah, downloaded it already and it looks pretty slick. Don't think I'm gonna use it; but just keeping the app though. :rolleyes:

The focus seems off though if I move the phone around while taking the picture...
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
Yeah I don't think its made for moving the phone around while taking

pictures when I take pics of people or something moving it works fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
True. This app functions but its not nearly up to the same quality as the one Ss burst mode. The one S can burst up to 99 shots with hardly any delay between shots at all. This app has substantially more delay than the one S burst mode, but its still pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ports the one S camera over to the amaze the way they did the sensation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] puttagunta_h:
I am having the HD2 with "NexusHD2-ICS-CM9 v1.5" (Android 4.0.3). I saw that there was a new release with 4.0.4. I just wanted to know if it is possible to upgrade without wiping the phone. I dont want to re-install everything.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mainweb:
No you can't upgrade like that, you must do clean install because ISC is absolutely differ from GB if you don't want to lose things, then do back up with titanium or with CWM
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Backup your apps with Titanium backup and (just in case you don't like ICS) CWM. Change the partition sizes as required, then flash the ICS ROM. Restore your apps either with Titanium or by doing an advanced restore in CWM and restoring the data partition. I would stick with the former method though because I'm not certain if the latter one works all the time as I've never actually tried it.

EDIT: Ignore this, and skip to the bottom. Although at the same time you should still make the backups. You can never be too safe :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gazzacbr:
dont forget "sms backup & restore" and "call log backup & restore" so you dont lose anything,

and as long as you have the paid titanium backup (and who doesnt?) you can leave the batch to run on its own

it doesnt take very long to get back in action :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] taxi81:
I'm not expert,but for me 4.0.3 is a ICS.I don't know why he can't upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4.I always do clean instalation of new rom but i thing it isn't problem.Only partition size for a new rom can doing problem if old and new no the seem.Sorry for my english.I'm from Poland :)

IGNORE THAT, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. Apologies if you've already done a fresh install. :o

Yes, you're completely right. I think I must have misread his post or something. :rolleyes:Thanks for that
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FortMax:
puttagunta_h, it's possible, but you're mileage may vary depending on how you initially set things up. Read through the original ROM thread, you'll notice mixed results. For me, the upgrade from any of the prior versions has NOT worked as I'd expect them to. I'm always stuck at the boot animation. The only thing that works for me is a full wipe. :( Hope you have better luck.

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
very little.

I was making some wallpapers from some pics that caught my eye and a lot of them happened to be from classic video games: Mario, Zelda, etc. I just got to thinking that while a lot of today's games are widely-played, they just don't have that lasting value that the games of the past had, the games that appealed to everyone.

I know there are a few like Little Big Planet and what-not that still do something for everyone, but it's titles like Dead Space and Mass Effect are what move units now. In the "What are you playing thread" Skyrim and BF3 are tops. Halo inspired some cool things like Red vs Blue, but are any of us going to look back a in years to come and really feel like any of today's games are anything more than hours of well-designed time killing? Even one of my favorites in Ninja Gaiden Sigma makes me wonder if I'll see it as great down the road. I don't think Ocarina of Time will ever be a let down, or Mario Kart, or the old Metroid games.

I know this is a little disjointed but I just wanted to get it out. What do you guys think?

Bugaboo the flea really did it for me too. I lost many nights' sleep over that game.

Also, pretty much anything by Ultimate - Jet Pac, Trans Am, Cookie etc.. They were all classics.

Most games today get played till completed then put back in the box until they're sold a year later. I do revisit portal and the most recent Assassin's Creed that I have at the time. Some modern games still have plenty of staying power, but I don't know if they'll be remembered in 30 years.
[Off-topic] bucd:
Yeah...definitely true OP. It seems as technology gets better, we only get better with eye candy (with some exceptions of course) But now a days kids think a game is good because it looks good.

I mean, i get it. I get caught in the whole graphics as well, but the content needs to be there also.

That or maybe i'm just getting older and thinking back on simpler times just seems like it's more fun. :p

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
It's not age, it's content. Maybe the whole thing with the games that feel that way is that they "take you somewhere else." It's fun to play BF3, but when you play Mario 64, or the Final Fantasy series they are their own experiences. Maybe it's just that I feel like I get enough death and mayhem on the news and I feel better when playing games that are just games, nothing too heavy.

missing the "epicness" in today`s games. baldur´s gate 1 & 2 for example was sooo awesome. with more than 120hrs of epic rpg experience (if u fance the genre of course), proper characters and brilliant dialogue wrapped in beautiful visual art. imho there are but a few games on the market nowadays to rival games from the 90´s, such as bg1&2, where more quality games have been produced.

just my 2 cents

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J F:
An MTP filesystem for linux that I believe works better than anything else currently out there.

http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-devices-and-linux/

I tried to make the filesystem implementation robust and as complete as possible within the limits of MTP. Everything except chown, chmod, symlinks, and updating the modification time without actually changing the file should work.

I've only tested it under Fedora 16, but the code is generic enough that it should work on any linux system (and probably Mac OS X as well) with libmtp 1.1.3, fuse, and libmagic.

Give it a try, and let me know if you find any bugs or other issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Hi. This looks great. I tried mtpfs a couple of weeks ago and found it unreliable and buggy.

I'm trying to use this on mac. I installed gcc 4.7 since xcode command line tools ship with gcc 4.2 which doesn't support C++11.

However I still get this when I run make:

Hi,

I tested on gentoo x64, it worked very well.

Mounted my galaxy nexus as normal user, showed in nautilus as a drive. Copied some flac files to it, so far so good.

OSX build

With the patch below I got jmtpfs to build under Lion using libmtp, fuse4x, gcc46 (or gcc47), and file (libmagic) installed via macports. I'll include the patch in my next release.

There is still one weird issue though. If jmtpfs is run without the foreground (-f) option, you just get i/o errors when trying to access the device. It looks like something in the way fuse4x is backgrounding the process is messing up libmtp. But with -f it seems to work fine.

New release 0.4 with improved Mac OS X compatibility. Follow the link in my first post.

Apparently if you don't lie to the Finder and tell it MTP supports chmod and utime, the Finder throws a fit.

I'm also using the user that started jmtpfs for the uid and gid for the files. This fixes the permissions problems in OS X. And I report the combined free space of all the storage devices as the free space of the mount point. If I report 0 (which is the truth, since the mount point is read only and only contains directory entries for the storage devices, and its each subdirectory of the mount point which is read/write and has its own free space) then the finder assumes there is no free space in any directory under the mount point and refused to copy over files.
