[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Yea tell me about it. You can never see how things are working if no one replies lol kinda sucks but if you apply it to newer phones im sure people will post more. I wish i could do what the flashtotalk program does. It would save everyone from rooting and anything. Its a custom mms app from aosp that has its own apn built in depending on the carrier. Unfortunately i haven't found it anywhere online and even if i did it has some sort of installation key so that kinda sucks. I gotta dive i to Android coding more to figure it out but thats gonna take a while
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
So I've been running rc1 since it was release but I'm thinking about trying the rc3 update. I just finished downloading the rc3 updated rom but what a the best way to flash, wipe data etc and what about the addons? I tried finding some flashing specifics but there are just too many pages to filter thru on the Dec page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GR8CDNPumpkin:
There have been some issues with RC3 ygst DaGr8 is working on. He solved the major inescapable and is currently working to get the ROM stable.

I would wait for RC4.

Don't forget to hit Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
since there are a lot of changes from release to release, the best way to flash is obviously a full wipe, then flash...

I have been running rc3 for a few days with ZERO issues, so feel free to flash it now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I was planing on staying away from the rc3 but I thought it was pulled and reworked than released...I guess I was wrong, thought the current rc3 was the fully stable ready to go version. I'm content with rc1, ill wait for rc4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GR8CDNPumpkin:
RC3 has issues like exchange service and dpi issues. Contacts FC'ing. Samsung Calendar as well. These FC's occur after applying the tablet ui. (except exchange which happens from the get go.)

I want tablet mode so that's why I am waiting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
i don't use exchange, so I deleted the app, so no fc's for me; also, don't use tablet mode; need larger fonts, so thats not an issue for me either

no issues with calendar or anything else for me

Is there a way to extract the baseband from from the spf file or the photon itself? And then reflash it?

I have no problems with my radio. I'm just curious... I've noticed there are a few different versions of the basebands so it seems like it would be possible to use older or newer basebands.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dozyaustin:
Dear all, my Captivate is slowly limping, prompting me to upgrade. There are multiple reasons the Cappy is unhappy. She has been through a lot of ROM's and I think she is tired of all of it. But my battery and Wifi seem to be simply tired in the Hardware department.

I am considering the original Nexus S because of the smaller size, the price of Free (With 2 year ATT plan I already have) and for the unlocked naked Android

Is it still worth buying one of these 1.5 years after the fact? How is the GPS (The Galazx S has GAP lock problems)

Thoughts?

Thanks .
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeuXGod:
If you don't look for the best of the best, the Nexus S is still an excellent phone. The GPS works fine. I did a 120Km trip the other day, and was all the time with it on and never dropped or gave me misleading readings.

I can still run all the games, new or old, without any hick, and it's still very fast with ICS.

In the end, it's up to you :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark_On_Land:

Like DeuxGod said, if you don't want the best phone out there nexus s is a wonderfull phone. I was planning to upgrade to a Gnex a few months ago, but naah. I think I stay with ns until summer, it's awesome! We have veeery many ROMs/ kernels to choose between, and that's also a + :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dozyaustin:
See, the thing is that I do not really want to F! with my phone ...not beyond very simple things.

I just want something that works .... get NS 4.0.4 get a launcher I like and be done. That's all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Dog KMc:
I got my Nexus S about 2 months ago and I gotta say it is a real stable device.

My previous device was The Samsung Vibrant {Still in my pocket} and this phone as on par with my Vibe. After of course flashing 4.0.4 on it.

My Nexus S saw 1 OTA update. When I got it at bestbuy (Free w 2 year contract) it came with Gingerbread 2.3. After an hour or so It got an OTA of 2.3.6. It was a refreshing change to have Fully functional Gingerbread running. After a month I found a thread here on XDA that you can flash OTA's just by using the stock Recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445570

My wifes phone got the OTA to 4.0.4 but after a month mine still did not get it so I used the above thread and put it on myself.

No rooting, No un-locking of boot loader, Plain stock.

Now I like this Nexus S even more with 4.0.4 running on it.

The GPS is (for me) accurate to 12 feet All day. My only issue was that on a 5 hour trip the Battery was dead in 3 hours being on a car charger. Further tests shown that the screen brightness being 45% or brighter would drain the battery as 45% or lower the Battery would Charge up. (yrmv)

The thing I noticed that I like is the Flash on the Camera. Best I have ever seen on A phone. Bright, Bright, Bright, for a good distance.

I use Apex launcher as I like it over nova.

I have a 2 tone black TPU cover from eforcity that is amazing.

My wife dropped her NS on a Cement side walk and in her words " It went dancing across the sidewalk" with no problems or damage to it.

Its been a rock solid device for me and I have no complaints about it.

just my Short Opinion on this.

Good luck on your decision.

[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Hello all, I'm just curious to know what virgin mobile phone are you going to get after your wildfire s?
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
As of now, probably the EVO V 4G.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
im thinkin the same thing
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Although, now the LG Optimus Elite is looking pretty nice, too. I like the 3.5" and the NFC...
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Yes! I was looking at that one, looks nice for $150
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
It's cheaper (even cheaper than my WFS!!) It's a hard decision to make. I really want ICS, but the LG Optimus Elite has NFC. Although, I won't be upgrading until about October anyway 'cause I'm gonna get a Nook Color soon.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Its a hard choice, I might save up some more cash and then buy the one V, Nook colors are sweet, I have one on ICS
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Sweet! That's the reason I'm getting one. I hear it's easier to root than a lot of similar devices and ICS is really nice.

I think the V is more attractive in most ways, especially 4G (which I don't get where I live, but there are some cities fairly close with it) and ICS are pretty cool.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Yes your right, the nookcolor is very easy to root and install new roms (So easy a cave man can do it :p) Ive had my nookcolor for about 4 months and i like it!

Ya 4g would be nice, hopefully the one V goes to virgin mobile, all we know is the evo 3d and lg optimus elite
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
Yeah, I've heard rumors about the One V, but I don't know if it actually will happen. Especially after the EVO V 4G announcement.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
ya im thinking they might not get it since VM got the lg optimus elite instead of the one v
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
And even the EVO V 4G. At least they got one phone with a V, right?
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
BTW, I've got the international GSM version of the One V (Primou) and love it. Nice upgrade from WFS.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Hahaha ya, that's probaly why it went to virgin mobile cause the V :p
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
I thought I seen you over in the one v section ;) what do you like about it compared to the wildfire s?
[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
I can't wait for the evo I'm happy we are getting 4g by next month when the phone comes out thank got my birth day is in June do I can get it plus its an evo 3d with ics so I'm super excited I just hope it will work with current evo 3d roms
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
Above all else, the screen. It's no One X screen, but light years beyond the WFS. It's beautiful.

ICS/Sense 4 is really slick. At this point I have no desire for CM9. It's that good.

At the moment I have 700mb free for apps. And I have several 10-50mb apps installed.

The GPS is unbelievable. It can find 8-9 satellites in my cement house where the WFS is blind.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
That's my biggest hope. If the current ROMs don't work, it's not worth it. I fear that it will be a similar situation to the WFS though. The VM version will be slightly forgotten behind the Sprint version. While Sprint and VM are essentially the same, the leaked RUU has really boogered up some of the Sprint phones, which leads me to believe there is a big enough difference there, but maybe not.

Hopefully they'll all be shipped S-OFF, though!!
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
After this phone, I won't be continuing my service with VM. The reception and data speed already was ridiculous. But THEN we got the data cap. And THEN they decided if I wanted to upgrade my phone, I also had to forgo my 25$ a month bill.

So I get less for more? F**k virgin mobile. I have principles.
[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
hopefully its not that hard to fix because this time its not a completely different phone (ours is smaller and has no Sim) and when I get the phone I'm gonna hang back a little and wait got other people to see what happens to their phones when they try new roms
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
@Cafe- wow thats pretty good! I think the best and most affordable way would be the one V over the evo 3d, the evo 3d is going to be at least $300 which is wayyy to much for me right now, but if virgin mobile gets the one V i assume it would be $200-$250

@bigchillin-i understand that completely, i said if virgin mobile dosent get 4g this year im leaving them...looks like ill be staying with them, i dont mind the service, but for $25 a month i cant complain, now if I paid $35 a month I would want more from them such as truely unlimited data with no cap
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
Really? On contract? I paid $290 outright for mine and there is no such thing as a contract here. [The Evo 3D is $380 here.] I would hope that with a contract you'd get a deeper discount than just $40.

[DIGRESSION]

I'm going back to the US for three months this year and I'm really not looking forward to all the hassle US phone companies give their customers over contracts. I'm going to get nailed for a pay-as-you-go plan with AT&T (only "normal" GSM carrier), especially for data. In Cambodia, I pay $10 for 800MB 3G or $20 for 12GB 3G. Calling is an extra $10/month :eek:

[/DIGRESSION]
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Im wrong! Virgin mobile users pay retail for there phones, so I guess the one v would be $300 and the EVO would be $400
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
I believe I saw that the evo price point was going to be around $250. But that was like a month ago and I haven't heard anything since.
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
Evo what? 3D, 4G?
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
The EVO V 4g for virgin mobile, they changed the name from EVO 3D

@bigchillin- I read a article stating that the EVO V 4g would be hitting stores at $400 because that's how much it costs on sprint without contract and the one V $300
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/evo-v-4g-hands-on/

This is just one of the many reviews with a listed price.

Edit: Also....WIMAX? Thats mother effin BS. Just what i wanted to do VM, give the middle finger to lte and jump on a sinking ship....
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Bigchillin, what service provider are you going to switch to?
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Dunno. I was referred to Boost mobile, But I haven't even looked at them yet. So Boost, or back to cricket.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
But boost mobile and virgin mobile are owned by sprint, so wouldnt they have the same sevice and price?
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Not necessarily. Cricket also uses sprint towers, and their speeds are faster than this. We are throttled because VM refuses to pay any more on their lease.

But, like i said, i haven't yet looked into it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
VM is just to dam cheap...lol
[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
I saw that it said 299.99 somewhere and I'm probably gonna get it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eqthinklab:
Tried to search if everyone was aware of this problem. Don't see any references, so posting in hopes it would help others.

If you just flashed one of the awesome ICS ROMs out there and getting constant FC with the error "Google Calendar Sync Has Stopped", you may be experiencing what I have. Note: This doesn't seem to affect all ICS ROMs as I didnt have this issue with Seraphim, but I'm on Objection right now and this is exactly what is going on with my Calendar.

I've been troubleshooting, installing/uninstalling system apks, finding workarounds and have had no luck figuring this one out. At first I thought it was just an exchange issue (another problem i wont get into). But after searching the web it looks to be a known issue with "Recurring Event" and the ICS sync engine. Because I had problems with Exchange Sync on my device, I ended up syncing my Exchange Calendar with Google using a third party app (gSyncit), so I have multiple recurring meetings in my Google Calendar.

Here is an excerpt from 'ISTAR' in a google groups thread:

"The problem appears when you have eventfull calendars, with repeating events. It looks like not all of them are able to be processed with Android sync daemon. Here is the threat discussing that issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23175 Depending from your calendar there could be 1 or more events bothering that app. So you have to identify them and recreate it or if you got unlucky: refrain from using such pattern. :(

The easiest way to identify the wrecker is 1) to install log reading app, e.g. aLogcat from Market, 2) Go Setting->Accounts->Google->UnCheck/Check Calendar wait for the error "google calendar sync has stopped" 3) run to aLogcat, pause and scroll to the red lines, saying something like "error in recurring pattern =MO TU WE, etc." The error text can vary depending from the nature of your problem. 4) Try to identify which one is bad event and remove it from all calendars. 5) Resync and go to step 1 if error appears again. After 2-3 iteration you should vanish all your malicious events.

And I don't think google will fix it fast. The problem is being known since December 11, and still in progress.

Good luck!"​

I confirmed this by following his steps and removed all my recurring events one-by-one until Calendar synced successfully without the FC.

Since I haven't been able to get Exchange sync or Google Calendar Sync to work with my work email. I've resorted to using Touchdown as the solution, until this is fixed or until I find a better workaround.

Hopefully someone finds this helpful, or can provide me with a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
No issues with calendar sync on that Rom here....recurring events and new events sync fine.

Which version of the Rom are you using
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eqthinklab:
im on the newest objection 2. seems that this is only affecting a handful of people (only two others on the dev thread has mentioned it). it could possibly be a way that google calendar saves exchange items in its database and unable to process it on the device. dont know. frustrating. ive also tried taking the seraphim calendar apk and dropping it in with no luck. so im stumped.

this is the only issue from making my device perfect with objection which i think is the cleanest cooked up rom :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
It definitely could be an exchange issue.

I do not use exchange so have no way of testing :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] laurimyllyvirta:
There's an app for it

I had this issue after updating my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.3. Calendar sync caused forced close and no data was synced. Bought an app called CalenGoo for less than EUR5 after confirming with the very helpful dev that it is not reliant on the defective ICS sync engine. Got everything up and running in seconds!

Deleting recurring events (weekly meetings with colleagues etc) is simply not something anyone who uses their Google calendar for anything serious is going to do. And again no guarantee that adding the meetings again would not just cause the same problem. Rather buy a phone that works.

Also tried deleting my corporate google account from the phone and re-adding it (my personal account synced just fine). Not intrigued to factory reset the phone and restore all apps and lose their settings etc. while there is no guarantee that it would do any good.

It is ridiculous that Google/Samsung would release this kind of defective crap, and makes you think what else might be wrong with ICS if QA is this bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DawMatt:
Fixed my issue!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this information!

I use gSyncIt to sync from Outlook to Google, then Google Calendar Sync to sync from Google to an Asus Transformer TF101. It worked fine until I upgraded from Honeycomb to ICS and my main calendar failed to sync from that point on, with the dreaded "Sorry" message.

I followed the tips in the first post and discovered I had only one problematic recurring calendar entry. It used this Outlook pattern:

Weekly repeat, Mondays to Fridays only, started July 16, finished August 10​

When I deleted it the sync worked OK. When I recreated it using this:

Daily repeat, weekdays only, started July 16, finished August 10​

it still didn't work. Mind you gSyncIt could be representing both of these patterns the same way in Google Calendar.

In the end I recreated the repeating calendar entry as 4 separate week long repeating events and it synced fine to Google and through to ICS.

So if you are running into this bug my suggestion would be to check for any daily recurring events that run longer than a week but exclude some days of the week (especially weekends). I have lots of other daily, weekly and monthly recurring events but this is the only one that had that pattern (and the only one that killed the syncing process).

Thanks,

Matt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sagie:
OP - thanks for the info, been experiencing this since I've upgraded my Galaxy Note to ICS.

One thing to add upon the info on this thread -- it seems to me that when accessing, via the Google Calendar website, the events that cause the crashes, they seem to show a message "This event has a recurrence rule that cannot be edited in Google Calendar" next to the "Repeat:" checkbox of the event.

This might be easier to detect for you than searching the logs. Of course, you still have to go over all of your reoccurring events to find the offending ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] galaxytab1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trevor432990:
Simple mistake maybe

Hi folks I thought I had this same problem as well but found out there was a simple solution. If the duplicate events have a different colour tab on the lefthand side it means they are coming from different calendar feeds and to stop this happening I just clicked on the drop down menu next to 'Calendar' top left of screen and unchecked everything apart from my Gmail email address & UK Holidays.

After that everything went back to normal ... simple mistake or just me?
