[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
get yr cpuid!!!!

you are correct, you cannot system update (OTA) on a custom rom

you need to be completely stock

the very first thing you do is GET YR HC CPUID if you don't have a backup then do one now and copy that uid.txt file somewhere safe:)

be prepared for a full data wipe and I mean full!!! If you're taking this route then you have issues anyway so a full format is gonna be required at some point:)...

scenario one: OTA to ICS

you need to download:

iconia root and acer recovery installer

run ari and "install stock recovery us version"

then run iconia root and "unroot"

once you reboot you 'should be' completely stock

you can now system update all the way to ICS

scenario two: Flash an ICS Stock Rom

Just download one of the pre-rooted stock roms and flash that thru recovery

If you want the unlocked bootloader to install recovery then download the files and flash to your hearts content!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Sprinkster:
thanks so much, its doing great now, its now allowing me to do OTA UPDATES, it did two so far, and now its doing a huge 352.mb update (other ones were 7.5mb) so i guess after its fully flushed with these other updates, next comes ICS 4.0 :) root has been taken out and so far so good , will report once its fully done and on ICS

Unroot/Return to Stock/receive OTA

Hey, I'm trying the same thing.. my configuration is below.

I did the gingerbreak/unroot, I've flashed what I thought was an official rom.. but I'm not getting OTA's.

Any help?
[Acer Iconia A500] Sprinkster:
try to search for updates through the check for system updates makes sure your connected to wifi
[Acer Iconia A500] nolanta:
that's what I'm doing.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
do it once, do it right!!!

your build version shows you are current to HC 3.2.1 - the next step is ICS

gingerbreak will only work on 3.0.1 from 3.1 you need Iconia Root, (i beleive)

the only real "official acer stock roms" are HC ones from vaches thread or

the ics ones from civatos thread - there are 2 stock versions here - the stock, stock one.lol and the

deodexed and zip aligned ones links (for theming and customizing with) near the bottom of the Original Post (the OP)

Your system needs to be stock as to get the ICS update,

tbh, I'd do Scenario 2 unless you know for sure you have the correct HC build path - and CPUID!!!

is it really that important??? - put it this way, it does no harm and it keeps you nice and clean, clean!!!!

You need your cpuid to do it this way

You will lose all your Data - which aint a bad thing either....!!!

If you cannot get your CPUID then its Scenario 3 a full and proper downgrade:(

You gotta say you've been lucky getting this far without a nandroid!! Just think of it as a way to redeem your wicked ways, lol

go back to HC, do a nandroid at full stock and retrieve your CPUID!!!!

Copy it to somewhere safe on your PC!!!!

Then decide OTA or flash Stock and hello ICS!!! Haha I wish it were as easy!!!

unlock, loadup and root it....done!
[Acer Iconia A500] nolanta:
I have my ID, and I'm preparing to sell the Acer, so I want it in out-of-the-box stock form of the latest OTA. I do not want to retain root or put a custom rom on it at this point.

I don't see a Scenario 3. Iconia Root is reporting 'something is wrong you are still rooted' when attempting to unroot.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
only just saw yr post, did u get sorted???
[Acer Iconia A500] nolanta:
Nope. Going to keep trying.
[General Questions and Answers] Lebatman:
Hi, I accidentally accessed my APN settings, and ended up enabling EDGE. Since then, I've had data blocked, (cos I don't need it, as wifi is available most of the time), but I simply can't get rid of that E symbol on my notification bar.

Image: i imgur com/6fuMk jpg

(spaces are periods)

Tried:

Unchecking data enabled.

Rebooting, removing the sim, booting, inserting it back and then booting

Creating a fake APN access point, that can't be used.

Tmobile (bought it off ebay, was AT&T) say they can't help. AT&T say they can't do that. wtf.

It appears to be eating into my battery life. :(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianblack:
Question for you guys .... I use Google Music but have noticed on my RAZR that often the bluetooth music control (like from my car stereo) only work when Google Music is in the foreground on my phone. It seems to be OK if it was in the foreground and I switch back to Navigation -- I can still control it. But if I start playback from my launcher using iSyncr widget things often get all screwed up and I can only get things right by going directly into Google Music... otherwise the controls on my car do nothing.

Anyone else notice this?

(Same thing happens when I stream A2DP to my laptop ...)

Another issue is I can't use the button on iPhone headphones with my RAZR. I had no issues with my Droid X but it won't answer/end calls nor control music playback. Is this normal as well?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marculous:
could it be the widget?

droid razr stock un- rooted .181 waiting for official ics...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianblack:
Anything is possible -- although I've been using iSyncr since I first got Android and have never had similar issues.

I've been listening to music all day at work via Bluetooth and it's been working -- and that's without having the player in the foreground. So I don't know ... I wonder if it's the stock Motorola player stealing focus? I have never used it but it always seems to be running.

Also any idea on why the headset button doesn't work at all? Not even for call handling.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marculous:
unless you are using the settings on the stock music player equalizer, I don't see a reason to not use task manager to end it, that may be what's causing a conflict. and I am unfamiliar with your headphones, I rarely use them. but when it do I have some nice sennheiser earbuds my wife got me. normally I use a jawbone jambox (bluetooth) at home and a wired (dynex) logitech speaker at work.

[HTC One X] ruscik:
Hi All

Got my One X during the weekend. It is my first Android phone. Before I was Windows 6.5 with many devices till HD2, then HD7 and now One X.

Until now only HD2 wowed me and now One X as well. I never had a case for any phone but this one is so lovely that I need one the least for my motorcycle.

I am looking for a waterproof/shock proof case that I can attach to motorcycle. It needs to have a window for display so I can use GPS and a window for camera so I can record stuff while on the move if I feel like it.

I am looking for alloy case as do not want any of that recycled condom stuff.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One X] cyben76:
Otterbox use top make 2600 and 3600 that is compatible with RAM mounts for motorcycle. The case was waterproof, crushproof and airtight. Not alloy though. The also have 1900, but no RAM mounts attachment, but u can get a RAM mount holder for it i think.

U won't see it in otterbox site, but u can still find them on other online store

I almost wanted to buy one when i had a motorcycle.

2600: http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/otterbox2600.htm

3600: http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/otterbox3600.htm

1900: http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/otterbox1900.htm

But all the 3 cases were made for PDAs with sylus, so i don't know if the capacitive touch screen.
[HTC One X] ruscik:
Thx man forgot about those. I had 2600 long time ago for my Ipaq. If I remember correctly front window clip's open to use the device. However do not think any of them have camera window but still an option.

There must be a rugged case somewhere for out devices or a industrial device of similar size.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
This any good for you, although it does look like its a ribbed condom...

[HTC One X] cyben76:
I think Otterbox might be reviving Armor series or coming out with new range of waterproof case!

See the sneak peak vid:

[youtube]iWZ1Ca3eo04[/youtube]
[HTC One X] ruscik:
Will be keeping my eye out, at worst will have two cases.
[HTC One X] ruscik:
Sorry man but that is an ice cream bag not a case.

I was hoping for that otterbox armour series but it is only for Ipood devices.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
it would appear (from their website) that they have brought back the armor series, only for iphone 4/4s or something, but hopefully they'll expand to other phones soon, can't imagine why they wouldn't.

Well it will go well with your ice cream sandwich rom

What in gods name is 3.24.? Is that ICS.?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaulB007:
You know, I just don't get it.. I see some folks getting 4.5+ hours of screen on time which I can get from Calkulins EL29, but I am lucky to get over 2 hours of screen on time on ANY ICS ROM.. Folks say it must be rogue apps that are causing wakelocks. My question is why do wakelocks seem to be so rampant on ICS, yet on EL29 I had no issues? I reinstall the same apps with every ROM installation. Same settings, no additional apps, no less apps than what I had on the last ROM. So I have to ask, what gives? Is this purely an optimization problem on the software to hardware end of things that varies by device? Bad luck? ect?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Are you restoring data? that can have issues. Also some of the apps you use might not work the best on ICS. I would say install them 1 and a time and see when you battery drops. I can easily go all day with ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaulB007:
I am, yeah. Honestly I hardly use most of the apps on my phone. I use Opera, stock sms app, navigation sometimes, I use Mr. number which is a call blocking program, the stock music app and youtube. Pretty basic stuff really, I have a few other apps but rarely if ever open them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magnumtripod:
Im not a dev or anything, so my understanding of this stuff is limited.

What would Samsung do to fix battery life that the devs on this board can't? srs question
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I_FLY_Z3R0:
They could do what HTC did with their latest phone and install an auto task killer which kills running apps. I hope they don't because I was reading in the one x forums that if you just switch apps real quick say from the internet to messaging and try to go back to the internet 20 seconds later it has been closed and reopening it takes you to the homepage. that's one idea

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
Probably ICS is not reading screen on time right. They last almost the same to me but ya ICS screen time is half of gingerbread but I've used them the same amount, I do the same thing everyday at work so my usage of the phone is always almost the same.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
You shouldn't have a problem. That's a great guide all around to get your phone prepped for some fun stuff should you ever decide to start flashing ROMs.

In my opinion you should flash both of those files update files anyway, since CWR is a nice thing to have on your phone as a just in case; primarily for the backup and restore.

s15274n doesn't mention it in the guide, but whenever I have to flash a CWR zip I almost always have to do it the "reinstall packages" twice so don't freak out if you flash that one and it reboots back to recovery. Just run the "reinstall packages" again and you'll be in CWR.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
Thanks Ive been doing alot of reading since I posted that. Thing is I'm not sure if it's the 959v or the 959. Looks like the 959 is as simply as copying a update.zip to the internal memory and flashing it thru stock recovery. Looks like the 959v is a little more involved, using odin in such. I'll get it nailed down. Thanks alot!

Just go to Settings>About Phone and look at your model number. Will tell you if 959 or 959v. And yes if it is the 959, it is that easy.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_arc:
Hi all.

I was given an HD2 running CM7 off NAND. It has a 2gb SD card in there, with around 400mb as ext3/ext4 partition.

I want to swap the 2gb for an 8gb card. Having not installed the ROM myself (and am not too familar with the process on the HD2), I'm unsure how to proceed.

Are there any files on the SD card that are likely to be needed for booting?

Can I just stick the new card in, use recovery to partition it and then remove the card - copy the old ext3/ext4 partition data over and it'll be happy?

Do I need to use recovery, can I just a Linux box to do that instead?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
assuming you don't have a linux pc that can read ext partitions, id do it this way..

into cwm - full backup.

2gb card into card reader (or mount usb storage in android - or 'mounts and storage - mount sd card' in cwm) - copy off your whole fat32 partition - make sure you have hidden files set to show in windows explorer.

8gb card into phone, back into cwm, create the new ext partition.

8gb card back into card reader (or mounts and storage - mount sd card in cwm) and copy the fat 32 stuff back to the card.

into cwm - restore - advanced restore - restore the sd-ext partition only.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_arc:
Thanks for the reply.

I do have a Linux PC to hand, and the HD2 doesn't have CWM on it.

So in the end, I used GParted to create a partition table that looked like the existing card and then copied the contents of the old card over. Phone booted up fine :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] «iain»:
Hi Guys,

I can't find much info on this, I think I just fail at searching or perhaps I don't understand custom ROMs well enough.

I love Resurrection Remix .9.6 everything for me works except for live wallpapers working on the lockscreen.

I tried the last couple of AOKP based ROMs based on Resurrection Remix and WiFi direct doesnt work. I can't post in the dev forums for this so thought I would ask here. Is WiFi direct not working something to do with AOKP? Is anyone aware of how I could get iot working in 1.9.1 of the above ROM?

Or do you know of a similar ROM which does work?

Many Thanks

You answered your own question- your build.prop edit broke it. At this point, you can have one or the other. Either you let Vlingo's servers think you have a SIII, which is currently unsupported for Wallet, or let Money Network know that you have a GN.

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you are not experiencing any issues, then why worry about it?
[HTC Incredible S] aerosmith:
I second that. Why bother if it is working fine. It is not that if you upgrade all of a sudden your voice is going to sound very sexy :D. But to answer your question check with what the ROM recommends. Usually the ROM should recommend you a radio. Otherwise assume it should work with whatever radio is installed on the device.

Not new to the sensation but new to this account. I have decent knowledge for this phone but seeing i have to ask questions, i might as well take advantage of it. seeing my phone is having such crappy battery life, even though it isn't mentioned in the kernel thread. If i have crappy battery life after installing a kernel several times with the same rom i used it with before and had great battery life, would it help if i recalibrate the battery after flashing the new kernel. I know this is said to do with alot of roms even though it is built in to most roms now, but it is not mentioned as a possibly try in any of the kernel forums and would like to know from someone with alot of kernel knowledge if this would be safe and something that might help.

Battery stats are automatically wiped when your battery hits 100%. The process of manually doing it actually does nothing.
