[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schueyisking:
so basically it is safe to just leave it plugged in all the time then, the phone by default is DEFINITELY stopping charge at 100%, Correct?

because i know 2 facts about lithium batteries which i learnt today....never leave it permanently charging. and never let it drain fully all the time (the 40-80% charge rule).

im just worried that if i leave it plugged in it'll continue charging even when its at 100...

Do you know if - with that different kernel/ROM - whether you can set it so that you can leave it plugged in - and it won't charge past say....96%. And when it reaches that limit, it lets the battery drain back to say 40%. Before charging again - any software that will let you do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Is how phone even on the charger that long..? Something like over night won't kill your battery. The software is supposed to tell the battery when to take itself off of the charger and when to go back. You can use a kernel that will let your battery ONLY charge to a certain percentage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
You do know todays chargers have technology in them to prevent this right? They have for a while, overcharging is mostly a thing of the past, unless you buy cheap, flea market chargers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwsdert4:
in Recovery Mode there is an option called "battery ststus calibration" (something like this which I cant remember) . actually any percentage of battery use can be "calibrated" into 100%, the number is not important.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Okay, as long as charging up to 100% isn't damaging my batteries.

I did come from a Nexus S, and I always thought that when it stopped charging at 97% that was a good thing to prevent damage to the battery. So naturally, when I see it's going to 100% every night, I imagine it's damaging my battery.

Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
You cannot calibrate your battery. You can condition batteries. Wiping battery stats and so called calibrations apps do absolutely nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwsdert4:
I think "Battery Life Xtender" feature in some ROMs caters exactly to ur requirements. see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257497(just for example) and find some ROM in GN android development section:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
That's just because that's how the nexus s battery driver was written. The galaxy nexus driver isn't written with the 95% recharge limit. Its OK though there's no danger whatsoever leaving the phone charging overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwsdert4:
i mean, the feature is included in some of the GN roms

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah I know some devs added it in, but its nor in the stock rom from Google.

I can`t hear and cant be heard during voice calls on my Samsung Galaxy Note. When I make a call the speaker by my ear does make the default Android "dialling now" noise, but then nothing (although the call seems to connect and the other party picks up). Do you think this is a problem with the phone or a network error? Thanks

This just spontaneously happened 10 Mins ago. Was working perfectly before.

EDIT:- FIXED. PLZ DELETE THE THREAD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
I'm looking for an all white case that covers the bezel on the front. The back could be all white or gray like the Neo hybrid (I think). The only case that seems to be like this, is the sgp ultra capsule, but all reviewers complain of the glitter being gay. Is it really that gay? Is there any other good white cases I don't know about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ficklecycler:
Its only as gay as you are uncomfortable with yourself.

For example...If you're really uncomfortable with yourself, then it is really gay.

If you don't give a ****e about glitter (and realize that plenty of DUDE things have glitter), then its not gay at all.

Don't be a homophobe and just rock whatever case you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonzo007:
I picked this one up off ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/18087166803...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1577wt_1163

I like it a lot actually. Also have a black diztronic rev3 and in comparison it fits just as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Agree on the gay thing by ficklecycler. I have a white Mercury case and not at all conscious about the pearl effect. I even think it gives it a bit of character.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I had a Black case that had glitter in it. I didn't much care for it... but after I swapped out to a cheaper Diztronic Rev 3 case that didn't have the glitter... then it felt like cheaper materials.

The glitter effect wasn't really evident but gave it a little sparkle. Kinda like a good paint job on a car... where dudes rock glitter and colored flakes all the time.

It ain't like your rocking rainbows. It just has a high quality to it.

However I'm using a Ringke Slim, which their white case is solid white. I'm using the Metallic version because it matches the original case of the GN perfectly and thus it appears to not even have a case on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
OK I think I'm going to get the ultra capsule then. I usually don't care about things being gay but I'm only sixteen I'm buying this with my own money. Its funny I've been saving up for months for the nexus(when it was 700$) the minute I saw it on the play store for 400 I bought it. I have like 40 dollars remaining. When you buy stuff with your own money you really value it lol, that's why I care about the case being gay.

Tl;dr - I'll get the ultra capsule. I only care because I value my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
If I were you I'd care more about the way you're tossing gay around. You do realize that's offensive, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ficklecycler:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
He definitely could have used better diction, but we know he wasn't trying to be offensive or homophobic by using that word. We shouldn't be too overly sensitive. We got the general idea of what he's asking, but yes he should have used better word usage.

Anyways, to the OP, look around eBay and amazon. You'll find plenty of white cases. Try Cruzer Lite. They have an all white case that you're looking for. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Mercury tpu case on Ebay. Costs half the price of the ultra capsule
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
ignorance does not make the things you say sound any less offensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Unless you're a person that takes things too seriously, bruh. O_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
right. it doesn't offend you so if it offends someone else they take things too seriously.

if he had been asking about black cases and tossing the word "******" around, would that be offensive? now tell me the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krooked22:
****** is a more offensive word, by far! Tossing the word gay around is no big deal to many American people. On American culture is usually used to describe something as either being lame or homosexual.

Nothing to get you knickers in a twist over. The episode of south park about the word fag is hilarious!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Lol! Man I loved that episode too. And the episode when he said the N word at Wheel of Fortune. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Completely different. I won't even type the n word; I would put it on a whole other level than "gay". If anyone forgot, gay means happy in the dictionary. It has another meaning. The n word doesn't exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Its sad that I spawned a conversation like this. I was wrong. Replace all gays in my first post with girly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Lol, but then he'll just call you a sexist. :P

No worries man, we got the point you were trying to make. Did you ever decide on a case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnyMal:
There is no such thing as "offensive" words. It's the context that matters.

As for the white cases I have this one and like it very much http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MK5XA4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Yeah in today's politically correct butthurt society.

[General Questions and Answers] Mglantz:
I have CleanRom 4.4 installed on my Rezound and it works great! If I wanted to install 4.5 do I have to do all the necessary steps as if I was installing a new rom for the first time. Or is there an quicker upgrade process in which I dont have to wipe eveything from my phone and start over?
[General Questions and Answers] emile518:
Updating CleanRom

Unfortunately CleanRom V4.5 was rebased to 3.14.605.05 and you have to reflash the new update to get all the benefits of the new ROM. That means a full wipe. Then flash CleanRom V4.5. You may want to wait because 3.14.605.10 base was released and Scott with likely rebase his ROM any day now to the current leak. So wait and save yourself the trouble and just do it once.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolsboyDroid:
Hi!

Today ICS for TPH (unbranded) was released according to @SamKiesUpdates and sort after I began receiving a update message from Software Update service asking to update (When I bought the phone I in my naiveness turn the options on on Settings->About->Software Update).

Software update never asked me for nothing and every time I did a check for update it said none until today.

My question is: Is there a way to stop it from asking? I can postpone the update up until 7 days but the icon saying that it was postponed stays nagging :(

Also does anyone know the download folder for the service in case it has download the ROM update?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan999:
Pretty simple...Go to settings-->about phone-->Software Update-->Uncheck Auto update and Push message option...Probably reboot if required.

And that should do it.

Don't forget to hit the thanks button if it helped.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolsboyDroid:
Thanks for the tip, it helped but wasn't enough...

I had to go also to Settings->Applications->Manage Application->All->Software Update and do a Clear Data

Then I rebooted just to be sure... and it stopped

Is there a way for checking the current frequency the phone is using?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoNickKnown:

There you can see some informations about Kernel, Model, Android-Version and Baseband-Version.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coas:
Thanks but I'm looking for the actual frequencies not the baseband version. Baseband switcher change the frequencies but the BB version remain the same.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melikephones:
So is it easy as just editing XML files to Mod? For example media_profiles.xml has a bunch of camera related variables. If I just change those and reboot, is that going to change anything? I know it could screw up my phone, but I am going for tips and tricks on how to mess with Android.

I know how to code, and would like someone to maybe point me to a guide.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] melikephones:
When I say know how to code. I mean I know xml and SQL....some Java. Was going to see what I could do with Android and maybe help community if I can learn.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] modest_mandroid:
Depends on what you're trying to do. You can modify the ROM's apk's by deodexing and extracting. Depending on what you want to do, you can either modify whatever xml files or jpegs or whatnot that are inside, or if the task requires it, decompile, mod and recompile the code with smali/baksmali. A program called apk manager is also pretty handy for modifying apks. You can modify certain aspects of the rom with simple shell scripts, like you would on any regular linux installation. And then there's system development that will require you to learn C. If you want to get into that sort of thing, there's a guide on http://developer.android.com that goes over how to grab the android source and compile it. You could try poking around the CM9 code for an example too, even better if you have a device to flash it to.

Actually, there's a pretty decent how-to-get-started guide written by an awesome chap in the Captivate forum:

Only if you purchase a device at full cost and are not going from 3G -> 4G.

If you currently have 4G, upgrade now.

Wait I had 3G unlimited then my free upgrade was due so I got my Rezound 4G and was told I am being grandfatherd in to 4G unlimited. Your telling I am loosing it? If that's the case goodbye Verizon.

After the cutoff date, if you upgrade, you'll lose it. We don't know when the cutoff date is.

I signed it even though they said they would only kill grandfathered data plans after your contract is done and you got a subsidized phone. I think I'm going to pay full price for my next phone so I can keep my unlimited data and I can upgrade my phone whenever the hell I want to.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
That isn't acceptable to a lot of us. I certainly could not have afforded the $650 pricetag for the Rezound when I got mine in Dec. The only reason I'm on this phone is because of the subsidized upgrade price.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Wait a couple of months then get it on swappa or craigslist. That is what I am going to do.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
This.

When my contract expires, I'm gone from Verizon unless their plans drop in price.
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
I am a bit confused here. I admit I am bit thick headed sometimes but I called Verizon and they are telling me that I will have unlimited as long as I have a contract with them and even upgrading my phone they will never take my unlimited plan no matter if its 4g or 5g :)

I say call Verizon and get it from the horses mouth.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
That is because CSR's are like used car salesmen, they tell you what you want to hear. Not really lying to you but definitely not telling you the whole truth. Sometimes it because they just want to keep your business. Alot of the time it is because they are to stupid to know exactly what is going on. If you don't believe me, go into any Verizon Wireless corporate store and ask them were the antennas are for the Rezound. I'd go paychecks with you that 9 times out of 10 they will tell you they are inside of the phone.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Ok so this is how it sits as of right now, you have a few options:

1. If you are on a 3g device with unlimited data you can keep it after the deadline. If you want to upgrade to a new phone but want to keep your unlimited 3g data, you must buy the phone at full price.

2. if you did what most of us did and went from unlimited 3g to a new unlimited 3g/4g phone. you get to keep it till your contract is up. when it is up, and want to get a new phone and still have the unlimited data you must buy a new phone at full retail.

as of right now. we aren't hurting there business having the unlimited plan nor will they just straight take it away from us. the way they will force us off of the unlimited plans we have is to make us pay full price for a new phone when its time because they aren't stupid and know we the consumer will always be looking for the next best thing.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
Looks like I'll be buying used phones off of craigslist once I'm tired of this phone. That is, unless the deadline is further out than my updgrade date.

[HTC Rezound] DroidBurgundy:
*sigh* Hasn't been the best week for me and big red. In a heated moment of passion I decided to damn the man and order an unlocked GSM Gnex and opt for the $30 5gig data plan on Tmobile HSPA+... joke was on me because upon further analysis of their coverage map, and daily testing, I have come to realize that in a majority of places I go with my phone I would only have 2G coverage.... So having wasted the $30 and now a %15 restocking fee from google, I sit anxiously waiting for Verizon to announce WHEN the cutoff is.

Remember last summer? They eventually announced the exact day in July that people had to get a new contract with unlimited data, I had not paid any atention at the time because I was mid contract with a Droid2. I logged on tonight to check my account with Verizon again, and noticed that both my and my wife's phone on a family plan, each having $29.99 unlimited data plans, are due for an upgrade on June 30 (which I knew)... however my wife's LG Ally is now eligible for a subsidized upgrade NOW, a full month+ ahead of time?? I cautiously added the upgrade to my cart, and was prompted with the plan changes menu, where it still showed the phone as having $29.99 unlimited data, with a note that once that option was changed it could not be changed back...

Has anyone else seen this as well? So clearly we can indeed still upgrade from 3G to 4G at a subsidized price and keep unlimited data? Or at the very least until they announce the cutoff date.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Until the cutoff date. And we don't know when that is, sadly.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
They just announced their plans, they haven't taken effect yet as far as I know. I haven't seen any solid dates.
[HTC Rezound] DroidBurgundy:
Indeed. I may need to "coerce" my wife into upgrading her line ASAP then just as a precaution. She rarely uses over 1 gig a month herself, perhaps we could switch lines if I was unable to upgrade mine by the end of June since I usually average 3-4 gigs a month using 3G now.

i hate verizon, a lot.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Nice to see people signing! They just keep tacking on more and more fees.. Charging $30 to upgrade, now the removal of our grandfathered plans if we get a phone on contract. If they're that concerned about subsidizing devices for us.. They could REDUCE the amount of subsidy as opposed to forcing us to get full retail to keep our unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:

[HTC Rezound] Cybie257:
Upgrades are every two years, but at the 4-month PRIOR to the ending date of the contract, they will offer you the upgrade price. Of course, if you did it that exact day, your contract end date will appear to be 2 years, 4 months. All you are doing is 'extending/adding' another two years on your new upgrade/contract.

Also, a tech support (not customer service rep), told me that they have the power and ability to add back any features (including the unlimited plan) within 30 days of any changes. This is only if you change things back to what they were...

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
that's because they haven't officially changed anything yet.

[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
When is your contact up? I assume in two years or less, right? And what changes will VZW make to their policy in that time? I have had unlimited for just over 2 years and they are already changing the rules.

I can't wait to pay full price for a handset to retain unlimited at the end of my current contract, only told after a year that my plan must go to tiered.

No thank you.

If Sprint had LTE where I'm located, I'd go to them. Especially with the new HTC EVO LTE.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
I'll stay with Verizon as long as I can keep my unlimited data. Once that finally dries up I'll get a dumbphone with no data until somebody give me what I want.

I am willing to pay MSRP for a phone, that's not an issue. But once Verizon realizes that this tactic isn't stopping customers who really want their unlimited data they will find some way to eliminate the feature.

EDIT: I will also be buying the new phones second hand or at least make sure Verizon doesn't get any of my money directly for that phone.

I have an idea and im kinda wondering if it would help some people keep their unlimited data while still getting a subsidized upgrade. Personally, i have 4 smartphones on my plain with unlimited data but only I ever use more than a gig or 2. What if i were to get the upgrades on their lines and activate them, then put my SIM card in it. would i lose unlimited data? i dont think i would because it would be like getting a used phone.

Any ideas/opinions on if this would work?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I get what you want to do, and while not a bad idea, who knows how picky Verizon is going to be. If they watch you upgrade a line and put that phone on your line you may find they get mad at you "cheating" their system and remove your unlimited data.

Who knows. All hearsay until it happens.
