Hehe..skyrocket.

I'm not sure what 'exactly' you're talking about, but you can get it yourself. No guarantee it'll work on that thing you call a replacement for an sgsii :D /sarcasm/

Most likely what you were using on the sgsii was gingerbread, so download a stock (or near stock rom, better chance it'll have what you're looking for), GB rom for the sgsii.

Then take a look at /system/apps in that rom. Most likely what you're looking for is in there.

Sometimes you can simply copy the apk to your phone, open the apk, and it installs no problem. If that doesn't work, then copy and paste into your /system/app folder. Set similar permissions just in case.

If all else fails, you can get an sgsii again and be even happier

Just joking

But seriously

:D

Is the Galaxy Nexus still worth it on Verizon half a year after launch? I'm looking to get a phone, and yes it has to be Verizon, and this is really the only appealing one. Don't feel like playing the waiting game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Yes if you want AOSP android and are willing to deal with potential issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So... you answered your own question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
Damn I just ordered mine.. what issues.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just read the forums. People complain about anything and everything. There actually are

real

issues with signal, call quality and software hiccups... although they effect people differently.

Just use your device. Don't go looking for issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0b1l3:
Okay, but do you think Verizon's gonna get the s3? Honestly though, I don't really like it. I don't even know if they're gonna change the processor for LTE. Is there a better phone on Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Nobody knows.

Okay... then you don't care.

Completely subjective. Go try them all and do your research then decide. How can

I

know what

you

want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgarozzo:
Yes, Verizon along with the other two big carriers as well as US Cellular is getting the S3.

Problems with the Nexus:

1. battery life is terrible. buy the extended battery from VZW, makes a world of difference.

2. Can't transfer data off the phone via usb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Uh. Yes you can. Plug it in, open Windows Explorer (or Android File Transfer on OSX) and transfer files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Can't tell if serious..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mduran1023:
Yes, the Verizon Nexus is worth it. Its easily still the best Verizon phone available right now (unless you want the Razor Maxx's battery life).

Like all current smart phones, it's not perfect, but I've found that the latest 4.0.4 update has cleared up most of my software problems. (Been running a leaked build for about a month now, though I switched to stock yesterday so I could get the official OTA update - which came through a couple hours ago).

Only complaints for me right now are hardware related: so-so camera, screen banding, and status bar burn in on the screen (this may or may not be a hardware failure, as some other phones I've seen don't have the issue, but then others have it MUCH worse as well).

I should also note that I live in Phoenix and have great LTE coverage, so I can't comment on any of the network issues that some people have reported.

Ultimately, I would say pick it up and try it out for a while. If it doesn't work for you take it back and wait for another phone to come out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juntistik:
I'm having the same dilemma as well, although I have begun leaning heavily to the Gnex simply because after going to the store and checking out the Razr Maxx, it just looked terribly ugly to me.

The sad part is a major deciding factor for me leaning towards the gnex was that I assumed it had an unlocked bootloader (ITS A NEXUS). Now that I know it is not unlocked, I am back on the fence. I know it can be easily unlocked, but that voids the warranty (if they can tell...), do you guys really think VZW would decline a return or exchange based on the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Sigh... You realize that having a phone ship with an

unlocked

bootloader would be a HUGE security problem? Giving full access to the hardware without any user intervention, how is that a good idea?

People need to seriously understand the difference between a

locked bootloader

(which ALL phones should have by stock) and an

encrypted bootloader

, which is one that is locked, and not easily unlockable (requires an exploit to unlock).

Just because its locked by default, doesn't mean it can't be unlocked. It literally takes 1 command line prompt: "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock that bootloader and do whatever you want with the device. It can also be

easily relocked

with just 1 more command prompt as well. Verizon cannot tell you've unlocked once you've locked again, and as long as you're not stupid enough to return a non-stock phone, they will never deny you a warranty claim.

Read up on the subject before you start pulling out these stupid, baseless complaints. I'm tired of hearing people complain about locked vs unlocked bootloaders when they clearly have no idea what it actually means or offers them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Product F(RED):
^This

This is the way all Nexus phones have been. You should be grateful Samsung lets you re-lock the bootloaders in case you have any issues. The HTC Nexus One was a permanent unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
Gnex is you want Android

iP4 if you want iOS

Those are pretty much the best phones on VZW at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mduran1023:
You shouldn't worry too much about the locked boot loader on the Nexus. It's REALLY easy to unlock/re-lock the phone as needed.

If you're not comfortable doing it manually you can always download a tool to take care of the process for you.

For example: I just used the WugFresh Galaxy Nexus tool to return my phone to it's stock software, with a locked boot loader, so that I could try out the ota 4.0.4 update for a while. As far as anyone else can tell it's always run the stock version of Android and hasn't been fiddled with.

It's also good to remember that unlocking the boot loader on the Nexus doesn't require you to download some b.s. tool like HTC is using, and there's no official record of you playing with your phone.

Yes the Nexus is worth it.. the Razr and the rest of the Droids have a lot of support.. and yes the GS3 suppose to be on vzw soon.. but unless you wanna deal with waiting on key lime pie or jelly bean than get one of those..

VZW don't seem to have any great phones coming out this year.. besides another Razr and maybe the Gnote.. but by time its release.. the next Nexus might be out

WIFI Settings -> Advanced

Under Wi-Fi frequency band

Try taking it off AUTO and put it on 2.4 Ghz only

Probably Router dependent. I'm running a LinkSys WRT350N with DD-WRT.

I'll have to double check my work routers which are fairly new Buffalo Routers but it was bouncing at work too.

The EVO 3D did not have this option and was running smooth at work and home.

I had tried the whole Sleep power options etc. and nothing helped this immediately resolved my problem. It was bouncing like a yo-yo.

I found mention of something like this in in the HTC One X forum (they have WIFI issues too). And someone mention this as well in this forum http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26532979&postcount=5 (kudos to portojohn) but he switched his back to auto, I'm leaving mine off auto. My problem immediately returned when I put it back on auto.

I see a lot of posts sprinkled around with WIFI issues and I think this might resolve it for some folks.

*********************************************************************

EDIT June-11-2012: Although switching to 2.4Ghz has greatly improved things it still was not as stable as my EVO 3D.

So I thought what's different?

LTE and NFC.

So for grins I set Network Mode to CDMA Only and turned NFC Off.

I currently didn't use either.

Now it seems 99% as good as EVO 3D was.

Although DATA speeds measure the same, it feels snappier, but that might be placebo.

I also tested to see if I still get Simultaneous Voice and Data and I do in CDMA Mode only.

I assume their will be updates by the time LTE is available and if I had LTE I'd probably shut WIFI off.

Not sure NFC had anything to do with it. I suspect it was more CDMA Only improved things a bit further.

I think the whole WIFI shutting off while asleep has nothing to do with the problem. EVO 3D did that and it was fine. For some folks with weak Data that might be an issue.

Unfortunately this is a step backwards for us running 5 ghz wifi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Your 5 GHz router isn't dual band? most are.

You saying this the first phone you could connect to your WIFI with? Prior phones I believe were 2.4Ghz only.

I'm getting 25 mbps down 23 mbps up on my router at work with the phone locked to 2.4Ghz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I dont have the phone yet as bb messed up my pre-order but thats another story. My router is dual band but living in a townhome community means the 2.4 ghz band is very crowded from other routers in the immediate area which causes issues at times. I was looking forward to connecting at 5 ghz with this device just like my galaxy tab and laptop.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
I do very well connecting to my 5 GHz network on my airport extreme.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
try the 5ghz lock then
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I do 25/23 on 2.4Ghz only limited only by my FIOS Service.

If your not getting drop outs great, leave it. It might be folks mostly with 2.4Ghz routers that have the issue with Auto.

Also keep in mind you will run into 2.4Ghz routers that don't agree with the Auto setting in the phone (friends, hotels what ever).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I doubt this will correct the wifi problem related to extended sleep times. May help with a more stable connection. Mine's been set to the 2.4ghz since I got the phone. Sleeping longer than an hr or so with no email or wifi activity causes wifi to disconnect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I have no issues with it doing that. Email, weather etc. doesn't need much bandwidth and it uses less power. As long as WIFI comes back quickly when I wake it.

It felt like the stay alive when asleep was working but it didn't help Yo Yo effect. I assume you tried playing with that if you want WIFI on 100%. There is also another setting in that Market App for Power Settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
What is so confusing to me is that my wife's has no random disconnect/reconnect issues, but mine does. We are on the same access point, same exact settings. I will try forcing 2.4 GHz to see if it helps me, but it is strange that she doesn't even have this issue.

Anyone else with multiple new EVOs experience this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Is your wife receiving emails more often than you - or rather with shorter intervals inbetween received emails. When I had push email enabled (imap), if I received at least one email every hour or so, wifi would remain on all night. If not, then it would shut down.

Look at the time stamps of your wife's received emails compared to yours. See if they fit the profile above.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Well for those that want to be notified of emails without having to check/wake the phone this poses an issue...imho
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
With mine, I notice it happen when I am using the phone. In fact it just bounced off of WiFi 2 or 3 times using it over the past 15 minutes. Essentially, when it starts pulling data during use, it likes to bounce. I expect it to happen unrelared to incoming email. When it bounces, it quickly recovers and gets back on WiFi after switching over to 3G.

Nonetheless, I can sit down with her phone and browse for a good 20 or 30 minutes and the WiFi never bounces.

I just switched mine to 2.4 GHz to see if that helps. Her's remains on auto.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
@dustindw, I think our issues are two different things then. I've not experienced any wifi dropouts while browsing or checking email or any other time the phone has been on. My issue manifests itself when the device is in a sleep (deep sleep?). The phone will disconnect from wifi at this time. I can confirm this by taking it out of sleep and observing a reconnection occurring on the status bar.

Are both phones in the same physical location (literally) when one drops and the other one doesn't? If so, then i'm at a loss as to why. If not, perhaps your wifi signal just isn't as good in some areas of the house as others..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I leave mine on auto an so far no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
Yeah both devices can sit side by side and I observe this happening. I also didn't have any luck forcing it to 2.4 GHz, it still bounces off and back on to WiFi.

I am going to get a secondary access point setup tonight and see if it works better with that. if it doesn't, then I wonder if my phone has some kind of hardware issue with the WiFi chipset. Ugh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Veereihen6:
What about that setting just under the wifi frequency band selection called "best wifi performance"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
I have also tried that mode, and I am pretty sure it still had the same issue. I need to try it again, but I have been reluctant due to other threads discussing how that mode is a battery life killer. I will give it a whirl again just to confirm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eepyikes:
Mine still drops out even after setting it to 2.4 only...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I am on revision 3 also and I see this issue as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
I'm on Hardware 0003 too.

But since setting it to 2.4Ghz it has been 100% better.

When I wake it, it bounces between 3G and WIFI a bit.

But it stays stable. Where before on Auto, even after it was awake, it would bounce.

I don't think this has to do with SmartSync, that just waits for longer periods to sync email if your busy watching a moving or something and you have to explicity choose it in Htc Email.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AardvarkAttack:
I'm on HW v3 and even after setting it to 2.4GHz only I am still having the issue of WiFi showing connected when it really is not. This is really agitating.. Thinking about trying to exchange if a software update doesn't come out soon to resolve the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
I don't think I've seen this posted on this thread yet, if so I apologize. I disconnected from my home Wifi and reconnected BUT this time set up the phone with a static ip and have zero disconnects so far. Mine was bad too. It was disconnecting once every 5 to 10 minutes. Worth a try if you haven't already!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^No go. Give it a day or two and the wifi issues will return. They did in my case. At this point, until htc comes out with an update there is no proper fix. Maybe we'll get lucky and some rom authors will implement removal of the htc smartsync crap out of their roms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
I tried this with no luck. My WiFi still disconnects and reconnects quite often during use. The WiFi bounce is seemingly getting more frequent too. My wife's EVO LTE does not behave the same way at all. Her phone doesn't suffer from the bounce syndrome at all. Same network, same areas of the house.

It is frustrating. I don't understand what is different between our two devices and the way they are configured. (nothing noticeably different)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FlowingAway:
Its crazy how much different the results are with some of these suggestions. I hope HTC's update is swift and effective.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
There is a thread on removing SmartSync crap. I think it's mentioned in one of the Custom ROMs and incorporated in one of the ROMs.

I don't think the SmartSync stuff will cause WIFI bounce though. Biggest complaint is it will shutdown the WIFI when asleep even when you have it set to always on in sleep.

Having it shutoff in sleep doesn't bother me, as long as it's stable when awake.

I had terrible issues with my EVO 3D and WIFI and I ended up shutting off a lot of fancy stuff for speed and the EVO 3D became stable. It was stable at work but not at home. Like the TurboBoost and "Wide" channels was giving the EVO 3D fits. Rock solid now.

So you might check some of your router settings.

EVO 4G had run fine with the same settings. But not the EVO 3D. So some folks might be running into those sorts of issues as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I wouldn't know what to change in my router settings. It's a very simple set up with wpa2 security, locked to G spec. My primary issue was the drops during sleep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logicvoid.powersaversettings&hl=en and uncheck put data connection to sleep. Not sure if it will solve all issues but it cant hurt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brianf80:
Just wanted to note I was having this issue with it dropping wireless constantly for no reason as well with my out of the box LTE. I read through this and tried forcing the freq but didn't help.

BUT I think I did find a fix for mine. I set my wifi from channel 6 to 11 and I no longer have been dropped. I havent had a huge amount of time to test but I was getting dropped every 30 secs and after the change, didn't see it for the 15 mins I used it.

No idea why this helped at all. But thought I'd note it to see if it helps anyone else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
I changed my channels and it didn't seem to help. I need to try a few other channels. I am also going to try another access point tonight, if I can. The constant WiFi bounce is bad, really bad. It almost seems like it has gotten worse.

My wife seems to experience a constant connection, with really poor performance. I suspect it shows connected, but it isn't, and it is using 3G.

Crazy!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Viridus:
I think I found a workaround for this WiFi issue. I have my bluetooth enabled and it hasn't dropped for a while.

Is anyone else starting to have Sense UI restart pretty much every time they press the home button? Pretty much every time I exit a browser or a game Sense has to reload itself. I'm guessing this is due to the aggressive app closing HTC implemented on their One series devices. Also, multitasking is definitely not working very well as browsers are reloading websites, the XDA app takes me back to the home screen, among other issues in different apps.

Ugh, the GS3 looks more and more appealing with that 2gb RAM. Hopefully these are issues that can be addressed in user developed roms.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aeonus:
rseeks which

Mine was bouncing up and down, never really connecting. I fixed this by changing the Advanced settings for the connection to a static IP address, rather than DHCP. Not sure at this point if it was the router or the phone, but I don't really care either. It's working.

EDIT: I take that back. It says it's connected, but doesn't actually have a connection on the router side of things. Bah.

EDIT2: I fixed it by changing the router settings. We are running a Cisco Aironet 1140, and it ended up being because of the mixed security settings. For some stupid reason it was set to WPA2 TKIP/AES, which I changed to WPA2/AES only. Fixed it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Some of us may be suffering from the same issue. However, I don't think my disconnect issue is due to an antenna connection fault. More so, as soon as the screen is powered on, the phone instantly reconnects. I don't have fluctuating wifi signal levels. If it was a contact issue, the signal level would be all over the place, especially when on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustindw:
Mine is intermittent during use, often times mine is still connected when I come out of sleep. During use, it will drop and reconnect. It seems like it is doing it less now on a different access point (as far as I can tell), but I can't say for sure. That also leads me to believe/hope it isn't hardware related.

I hope HTC can acknowledge some aspect of this though, just so we know.
