[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm not being rude. No one on XDA or tipping these Android blogs really has any idea of when the update will

actually come out

.

Its never reasonable to take a Verizon' CS rep's word on an update, they have no idea what's going on. We've seen this same BS over every single update and people need to realize that until you hit "check now" and it starts downloading, the OTA has not pushed out yet.

Chill. Wait. Go outside. The update will come out when it's ready.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SilentO:
It is coming out tonight at 1159 pacific standard time so stay up and wait for it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
K thanks guys very helpful I'll check later at my local verizon store for specific details I just hope it it comes soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
Your local Verizon store employees know nothing of when updates are supposed to come out. In fact, most of them will tell you just about anything you want to hear to prevent you from giving up the phone and their service, including feeding you a load of bull regarding release dates of patches. :)

Verizon Wireless does not let their retail store employees know of any upcoming products, patches, and/or fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They don't know anything more about the updates than the bowl of cereal you ate for breakfast this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
OK so this forum knows nothing, the verizon store knows nothing, and my bowl of cereal won't tell me either so who do I ask??? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
You don't ask, you sit on your hands until you are told. Again, there are umpteen versions of 4.0.4 here on this forum so flash one or wait. Think of OTAs as being agnostic: nobody knows and nobody can know if they exist, it's just not reasonable to assume one way or the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
You don't ask anyone. :)

The key is to be patient. It'll come when it's ready, and not a moment before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Don't listen to them, man! I trust everything my local Verizon store says. Obviously the guy that asked me how i "jailbroke" my thunderbolt can surely give me accurate updates on my Gnex software! :D

Unlock/Root/Install 4.0.4 radios and rom of choice. Boom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odock:
What is 4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
While i feel i'm being trolled, i'm still going to be nice and respond :) ICS 4.0.4 is the newest leaked version available for VZW Gnex. The update includes ICS 4.0.4, new radios, and bootloader. Alot of the custom roms are now based on 4.0.4 as there are fixes in it and its

generally

agreed that these updated radios are helping certain issues with data and such.

Edit: Some clarification. 4.0.4 is the basic ICS version. The leaked Verizon update pack includes the ICS 4.0.4 update, bootloaders, and radio. I believe it'll update your baseband to IMM76K.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
im thinking we will get 4.0.5. probably around the same time frame the rezound is getting ics. they say between june-july.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noesmitipo:
Hi everyone,

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) yesterday. It came with GB and I decided to root it and change to a custom ICS rom.

I have flashed the last Narkdroid ROM (sorry by the languaje of the link - Spanish).

Well, I have been testing the system and I have found problems scrolling in different menus and programs (I think that it hasn't got the problem with GB). I don't know well how to explain it. It's like a little delay when you scroll. While you're touching the screen it works perfectly, but when you leave the finger from the screen it does a jump, a hit (I don't know how to say it). It's like if the moviment speed suddenly gets slow for then going fast.

I have read about it (I think that they try to say the same that me) here and here, but I haven't read about any solutions.

You can see 2 vídeos of the problem here:

In the first one the problem is at second 7 when I go down.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b7hFy8xNuA

In the second one you can see it sometimes, when I move it makes a cut on the speed of scrolling:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtvDSwU8GYg

You can notice the effect more when you have the mobile in your hands that in the videos, but I have tried to explain it the best possible.

Is it any way to solve it?

Thanks,

Sergio.

I can't insert the videos, I don't know why.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tak3r07:
This is a known issue. As you have already read in the 2 other threads.

Try flashing LP7 - it has a lot better scrolling performance
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
I know this question has been asked many times but i cant find any questions or answers for my reason of the problem or anyone else having this problem caused in the same exact way. Is there any way someone can tell me why even though i have my phone set to always auto correct words when typing, to the word that i usually use, why does it always seem like it resets my words and i have to resave my words i was meaning to type every few days. Hope this is an understandably explained question.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Having used almost every rom available extensively, I've never run into this issue except for when the first OrDroid builds came out.
[HTC Sensation XL] daniel2606:
Hello everyone!

Is there a way to rezise the system partition to 2GB ant give the SD Card 2GB more space because 9GB is not very much space and my system volume everytime has 3,5GB of free space....

BTW: Sorry for my bad English^^
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
Nope. For now.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yep there is the answer :D
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Actually i think there is. But only only one dev has the ability to do it. Were better waiting till we have full S-Off or atleast radio S-Off before anyone tackles this subject :)
[HTC Sensation XL] daddyload2:
so this is not full s_off? :)
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
No it's not. ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] daddyload2:
would you be so kind and explain to me, why not? :)

Bacause its not radio s-off?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
It's just a modified hboot that tricks the device into thinking it's S-Off, it allows users to flash security protected partitions, but, the security flag is still switched on.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:

[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Has anybody tried this on the ICS ROMs?
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I got it to connect to my tablet, but I don't know how to transfer anything with it so I can't for sure say it works 100%.
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Apps like ES File Explorer and QuickPic have "Share" in the long-press menu if you long-press a file. Then click "WiFi", then click the device.

On the other device, a popup should appear asking if you want to accept the file share.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I connected both devices through wifi direct, downloaded both apps, long-pressed on a picture, hit share and these are the only options for both apps:

I think I'm missing something here lol. :o
[HTC Rezound] brock350:
On es explorer you have to add a server in order to get the share via WiFi to work.
[Android General] chicoelnino:
Moving from s2 to the s3 and was wondering whats the procedure for moving all my stuff over to the new phone?

I know I can sync my contacts. I can also sync the apps I bought/downloaded i presume?

Regarding sd cards, the one Im using at the moment is giving me a lot of problems so I'm getting a new one for the s3. Do i have to copy over all the contents from the old card to the new one, and if I don't, what affect will that have on apps etc?

I've titanium pro so do I have to back up anything on that for instance before moving phones?

Kinda confused over what I need to move over as the s2 was my first android.

Thanks.
[Android General] zolaisugly:
If using titanium to backup just insert new card into old phone backup then put new card with backups in new phone and using batch option if you have pro version move all apps and data to new phone.

Ps only move user apps. Not system it might screw things up
[Android General] chicoelnino:
ok, so backup with new sd card on s2, then on the s3 just move just the user apps over?

Sounds easy enough.
[Android General] invasion2:
Or backup everything with Titanium/myBakcup or whatever then upload it dropbox. But Google syncs your contacts and apps. And SD card - connect phone to PC and mount as disk drive then copy the WHOLE SD to your computer then when you get the new SD put the contents on it! Hope I helped :)
[Android General] chicoelnino:
Just so I'm 100% clear on this:

1. Google will sync "all" my apps onto my new phone? So The 60+ apps will all be downloaded onto S3 once I set sync up?

What about any data associated with each app? Like game data etc? How will I get that info relocated into each app?

2. I copy the content from my current sd card onto computer and then copy it onto new sd card when I've it in the phone?

Thanks.
[Android General] meastroxo:
yeah, im a bit confused about the google-app-restoring, because i did some wipes (for custom roms) and my phone didnt restore anything (it was enabled in settings). is the unofficial android 4 the reason for that?
[Android General] chicoelnino:
Can anyone else confirm that this is the best way to get data from one sd card onto another??
[Android General] Couldn't_Find_Good_Name:
If u backup your apps using astro you can restore them and it will also restore the data

Sent from my GT-S5830
[Android General] chicoelnino:
Ok, I'm just going to do it now as I have Astro already installed.

So I backup on my current sd card?

Then how do I get the data onto my sd card?

Also doesn't some apps only work if they are installed on the phone memory and not the external sd card? How do I go about sorting that out?

Thanks for help.
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
The main problem with using Google to restore your apps is that it generally screws up at some point. I usually have issues because I go ahead and get on WIFI while it's syncing because all the apps that I have would take forever on 3G. Unfortunately the switch over to WIFI does it in and at some point the sync fails and it won't try and autoload your apps beyond the first time you set up the phone.

Never tried Astro for backups so I can't say how that works, but TiBu is absolute gold when moving between phones and Roms. The only thing I like even better is using Nandroids, but that only works for certain instances and won't help in the case of switching devices.
[Android General] someone3974:
As you said, you can backup all the data in your old device then restore to your new one! I know that Moborobo has the backup and restore feature. I used it to make the transfer. Hope it can help you!
[Android General] Strafio:
I've rooted both my S2 and S4.

I've used Titanium to back up my S2 apps on to my Micro SD and put it in the S4.

When I run Titanium on the S4, it can't detect my backups from the S2.

Am I doing something wrong?
[Defy General] guillermo1996:
A couple months ago, my bother tried to update my Motorola Defy. He used Cyanogenmod 7.

I don't know what he did, but the phone stopped working.

I read on the Internet that I needed to "Flash" it. And suddenly, another problem, the battery wasn't enough to flash...

I tried the "McGiver" way, with a broken USB, and I worked...

I installed RDS Lite 4.9 and Motorola drivers. I used a SBF file that I found here: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

I used the "Vodafone Spain", because I was vodafone, and I'm from Spain.

All the process went right, no errors, no mistakes... everything alright...

The problem came when my phone starts for the first time, and I release that the Touch Screen didn't work...

I've tried to use other SBF files, and it's always the same problem... the touch screen. Everything else work fine (sound, accelerometer, vibration...).

I have no idea of what to do now... Should I buy a Screen a try it? If that's what I need, how can I change the Screen?

I need help...

PS: I'm sorry about my English, but like I've said, I'm Spanish
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
did u wipe data & did a factory reset?
[Defy General] guillermo1996:
Many times... but in the Recovery mode it says:

E: can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: can't open /cache/recovery/caller

But I think it works fine...
[Defy General] hsrars-d:
If the problem is in hardware, i think it's not the screen, if you can see a picture, it's the digitizer on top of the screen, you can buy it for here.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] g2tegg:
Well, I think my beloved Skyrocket is now pooched. It has been acting strange lately (won't turn off, and when I pull the battery and put it back in it just restarts). Now, most recently I am unable to sync it with my computer at all. I'm running stock 2.3.5 Rogers, got bored on the weekend and wanted to try CM9. But the computer won't do anything when its plugged in. The skyrocket will just charge.

I have tried 3 different PC's, my MacBook and 4 different Micro USB cables. All yielding the same results. What made me come to the final conclusion its definately my phone is because I tried a friend of mine Skyrocket and his works great.

Before I turn this thing into my kids bath time boat anchor, is it repairable or pretty much hopeless? If not, I'm getting a Note. Go big or go home, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wickidmasshole:
at one point and time mine wouldnt connect to usb either. i did some searching around and found out that after i plugged it in i had to go to settings/more/USB utilities and click connect storage to pc wile i was plugged into the computer and HEEEEEY i could finally copy files and all that good ****. i have never ran the CM9 rom and i am also on ATT so i dont know if your phone layout is the sme and whatnot. hope that helped a little....if any
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nosheeple:

You guys rock.. and I am super thankful, but now I want to take my thanks to the next level and contribute.. I know nothing of programming at all but I'd like to learn.. My question is what is a good place to start? I got programming for dummies, and a for dummies series on Android.. is this a good place to start? Any suggestions?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Having taken my AT&T One X back, I have been considering the advantages of the International version and this is what I came up with:

More frequent updates

Free wireless tether out of the box

No bloatware or branding

Unlocked Bootloader

Twice the storage

Am I missing anything? Even though most of the bloatware can be disabled, there is still some that you can't, which eats into the RAM.

I have LTE in my area and it's fast, but my current phone doesn't have it and I can definitely live without it. Given that they are the same price off contract, I'm starting to think that the International version is a better bet.

I'm aware that performance and battery life are better on the S4, but other than benchmarks, I'm not sure the performance angle will mean much. Better battery life interests me, but timely updates from HTC may narrow that gap on the International version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Positives

- While Adreno's no slouch, you could argue GeForce is better for gaming and you'd also have access to the Tergra Zone.

- Multitasking's been improved (too early to say it’s “good”) but it may be on the U.S. version too with updates.

- You get to select what app to open e-mail, pics, videos, web links, etc. with on the fly which has been removed in the U.S. version. Flashing custom ROMs would fix that though.

- You get back whatever stock HTC apps AT&T ordered removed. Someone who owns both phones could probably tell what they are and whether they're worth anything.

- The radio (for me) has been the best I've ever had on a phone. That includes celllular, Wi-FI, and BT. It picks up cell signals better than the i9100 did, moves between Wi-Fi and cellular cleanly, and BT auto connects to all my devices three times as fast and more reliably than the i9100. It's not fair to judge the U.S. version in its current state as it's obviously experiencing some bugs which will likely be worked out.

- You get a two vs. one year warranty.

- You get to use this which I think is pretty cool. I have a couple on order so it'll be kept charging when I'm not using it. It's supposedly "Bose-like" in its sound reproduction and charges the phone using the pogo pins. It connects via BT using Apt.X for lossless sound. They may make one for the U.S. version but for now the pogo pins are in the wrong place.

Negatives

- Battery life isn't as good as the U.S. version. You should get 12-14 hours but anything over that is pushing it. You'll also have a stroke until you rack up a few charge cycles because out-of-the-box it's pretty scary.

- Certain apps think you're in the UK. I have to use an old hacked version of Amazon MP3 to get cloud access.

- There's some debate about warranty support. The phone may have to be shipped to the UK if it needs repair. That's HTC's policy (Samsung's is the same) but some people have gotten repairs done in the U.S. It seems pretty random.

- HTC instituted a new warranty policy regarding third party ROMs with the One's. If you unlock the bootloader using HTCdev and they detect a third party ROM was used your h/w warranty is void. Since the bootloader's not unlocked on the U.S. version yet it's too soon to say if the same policy will be applied here.

- You have to buy SquareTrade for ADH since it's not available from AT&T. That also takes care of any issues with HTC not covering the warranty on ROM'd devices. It's transferable so you'll get more for the phone when you're ready to sell it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Thanks, Barry. You're a stud, as usual. That actually sounds pretty good. I don't bother with warranties. As long as the place I order from has a decent return policy (in the event it's a lemon), I'm good.

I am a little worried about battery life. All of the reviews made the S4 version sound so good. Battery tests I have seen are all over the place. Seems that the tegra version has longer call time and the S4 has longer web browsing.

I also noticed a thread in the International forum dedicated to complaining about Multitasking, so I wonder if it is still an issue.

Radio is that good, huh? Are you on AT&T? Did you have to set up a specific HSPA+ APN to get full speed? I had to do that on my Nexus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
It should get you through the day easily syncing, doing productivity stuff, streaming audio, and browsing. Game play and videos will require a top-up.

They're neurotic. A handful of them bricked their phones screwing around trying to recover what they thought was lost space on the SD partition; even though none of them seemed to actually need the space. HTC's running virtual drives so the phone shows up as "disk storage" vs. using MTP. They racked up 100 pages discussing it. In Astro, I could see it calculating actual files stored correctly but reporting available space differently because an HTC apps was holding space. The space was there if needed because the HTC app would have reduced the cache it was retaining. So it was a reporting error not an actual loss of space. It also would have been the same on the U.S. version and I think with half the storage at least one person would have stumbled upon it. Moral of the story: trust nothing on the international forum.

I know how important multitasking is to you. Give me a list of things you couldn't live without having opened at the same time and I'll test them. I wouldn’t want you buying the phone on hearsay.

I had the i9100 for eleven months and never got MMS working 100% of the time. With the One X, I popped the SIM in and it read the APNs without me having to do a thing. Keep in mind AT&T's a mess though. F-ups are usually due to the SIM, APNs, and/or plan provisioned on your account not lining up. So it's always a YMMV based on the plan linked to your account.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
You also have the Nexus. How does battery life compare to your Nexus? Mine has been stellar. If it's anything like the Nexus (or better), I'll be fine.

As for multitasking: It's not really like that. I fast switch between apps all the time, but I don't have a particular usage scenario. To me, ICS is made for multitasking, thus the dedicated button, so nerfing it seems ridiculous.

Mostly, I see myself multitasking between my bank app and calculator or a web page (which I already know refreshes) and e-mail. Sometimes, I multitask between the gallery and messaging, if I'm looking for a pic to send or a particular image. Maps and e-mail (if someone gives you directions or sends you an address).

Honestly, I tend to open apps from the tray most of the time, but I sometimes use the multitasking button to go back to one I used recently. Even on the nexus, those will die after a while.

My one other true, main concern is push e-mail. Someone in the AT&T forum reported that it was just the AT&T versions having that issue. I really need to believe that because if I get the International version and it's still a problem, I'll be sad. I suppose I could wait for an update, but it's that critical to me. My job depends on timely responses to e-mail.
