[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimatezero:
I have a problem with my dell streak, I've tried using DSC 1.0 and 1.1, Longhorn 2.6 and 2.8 and in all of this ROM's I keep having the same problem, the In Call volume is way to high. I've tried changing the volume settings but it doesn't stick and always go back to the previous value. I also tried using DSC Gain and made it worst. Any suggestions?
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
Saw this over at the AT&T One X development forums. This script will apparently allows us to flash boot.img through CWM with S-ON and without having to use fastboot anymore.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686564#

Should work for us, no?

EDIT: vladnosferatu pointed out that our boot.img is located at mmcblk0p4.

So the command for our devices is:

"package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");"
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
good research,

our block for boot.img is mmcblk0p4

so for us should be

"package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");"
[HTC One X] tgascoigne:
I'm pretty sure this is what the updater-scripts do anyway, but since we're not s-off the recovery can't flash that partition.
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
All updater scripts say this but it doesn't flash it as security is still on
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
The AT&T One X is not S-OFF and one of their devs tested this. He posted and says it works, but maybe he "thinks" it worked. They don't have any custom kernels yet.
[HTC One X] tgascoigne:
It doesn't throw errors, it just doesn't flash, which is probably why they think it works.
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
Funny if it's an obvious known fact. If you read the thread, they're acting like they've never heard of it! :D
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
i'm gonna test it... give me some minutes
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
If they have stock kernel they wouldnr know if it works, guys it don't work. That why we have to fast boot flash.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
Didnt work :(
[HTC One X] Tikerz:
Nevermind, they're flashing boot.img from different RUU versions. That's probably why it works.
[HTC One X] tgascoigne:
if this is true, perhaps the image from an ruu is signed in some way? Or maybe the at+t one x is just less protected than ours, after all, they have supercid, we don't. Either way, we know 100% that this doesn't work for us :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JC0406:
I've been getting problems from my Prime. Lately I downloaded quite a number of games. The performance was alright but the main issue was the gyroscope/accelerometer that was needed from some games like Modern Combat 3 and GT Racing Motor Academy. Whenever I tilt my tablet vertically, its as if the tablet thinks I'm tilting horizontally and vice versa. But for some reason it's fine whenever I play Asphalt 6. I've also been noticing quite severe lag when browsing through my homescreens and app drawer. I've turned on performance mode and cleared my background apps and its still laggy. The last minor issue is my prime can't seem to charge when hooked to my pc when turned off. Are you guys facing any of the same problems? Hope its not a bad copy! :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] berto1014:
I would start with just rebooting the tablet, that always cures my lag issues. Check the game settings in the games you are having trouble with the accelerometer and make sure there is no setting set to inverse tilt or anything like that.

As for the PC issue, PC usb's dont put out much power. So it may charge extremely slow or not at all sometimes. If you can charge through the wall, then there is nothing wrong with the tablets ability to charge.

If your lag persists, I would back your apps up and stuff and do a system restore and see if that doesn't fix your issues.

I am not sure if you are unlocked or ROMed, but if you are, redownload the ROM, boot into recovery and factory reset and apply the new ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JC0406:
yeah, I tried rebooting. It works at first, but after awhile, it starts getting all sluggish. Hmm, I tried recalibrating my gyroscope a few times but the problem still persists. No, it's just for cases of emergency when I really need to charge up the tablet with my notebook. But I read it is supposed to be able to charge only when the power is turned off. I would try my best not to flash any ROM's just for the sake of the warranty :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Hi.. Just got my replacment galaxy nexus maybe 2 weeks ago and im thinking "should i get the galaxy s 3.. It will cost me and extra 50euro if i want to bring my galaxy nexus back to the shop and swap for the gs3. So if you were in my shoes would you do it or? Please leave your comment on what you think
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This is the Galaxy Nexus forum. Of course no one here will say they would take the S³.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
For only 50 eurons on top? Yeah, I'd personally go for it.

Hell of an upgrade for that money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
The only reason I would do that - for the better battery time. S3 has a bigger battery and specs are promising a long battery time.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
I can only give you the same advice I would give anyone when it comes to choosing a personal device, ROM, kernel, or just about anything for that matter.

Try both, see what fits you best. If you personally like the GS3 better, go for it. If you don't, don't. Do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Hmmm good answers i like the s3 but love the way were getting android 5.0 before anyone else whenever its out :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
And even 4.1 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Why you are so excited about early updates? What updates Nexus got first than others which would be worth mentioning? Except the ICS itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Galaxy Nexus (GSM) = Android updates as soon as they're available. These updates include new stock Android features, security updates, kernel updates, driver updates, radio updates, etc. Essentially, updates to everything that runs the phone.

Everything else = anywhere from 2-18 months, or never.

Wikipedia, I know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Ice_Cream_Sandwich_4.0.x

Otherwise, to the OP, my previous recommendation still stands. Which device is best for you is something only you can decide, not someone else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There haven't been any major updates. The nexus will get 4.1 and 5.0 before every other phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
What's right. But I will repeat my question: list me the updates Nexus got first :)

None so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mellll:
I love my GNEX. But if I had a chance to swap for an S3 and pay $100 on top, I would.

Hardware is better, community will be big, and the phone is much smoother and overall a lot faster in every way that I can think of.

We Canadians will be getting the 2GB RAM version in a couple weeks. I jumping on it as soon as it comes out.

And I will be keeping the GNEX since it is a very good phone still, even by the end of the year, it will still be a very good phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Because there hasn't been any yet. You're using a technicality. When Google finishes the next major update, it will be first on nexus phones. Besides nexus isn't about fast updates, its about having fully open kernel and rom code. That's the point. You'll never get code for touchwiz or sense framework.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
4.0.1

4.0.2

4.0.3

4.0.4

And every update for the foreseeable future. Just because there haven't been any MAJOR updates (AKA, Jelly Bean or w/e it will end up being) doesn't mean it hasn't gotten every single Android update before every non-Nexus device on the market. It hasn't gotten that update yet because that update doesn't exist yet. Even so, it will get that update at least 2-∞ months before anything else, except perhaps the Nexus S or the next Nexus device(s). Most Android phones that are coming out with 4.0 are coming out with 4.0.2 or 4.0.3; and although the updates since 4.0.1 have been small, there have been several bug fixes and new small features in every update since. Take, for example, 2.3.4 which enabled video chat on Google Voice. If you didn't (or still don't) have 2.3.4 or newer, you couldn't use it. It just didn't exist as far as your phone was concerned. 4.0.3 made several improvements to ICS in general, including but not limited to graphics improvements, new APIs, new and improved camera functions, bug fixes and accessibility improvements. Not to mention that the updates and Android itself are built with this phone as the hardware reference point and more or less designed from the ground up with this phone in mind. Android 4.0.1 was released October 19, 2011 and it still only makes up 7% of Android handsets 8 months later. If Google continues releasing major Android updates in November/December, that means there are only 5-6 months left for ICS to be current, and it's easily possible we'll see more updates until then that will never appear on other phones.

Take the T-Mobile Galaxy S II for example. That phone was released 12 October 2011, a week before 4.0.1 was released. It received an update from 2.3.5 (released July 25, 2011) to 2.3.6 (released September 2, 2011) just a week or so ago. It will be finally receiving 4.0.x (IIRC the worldwide version currently has 4.0.3, which it received March 13, 3 months after the Nexus) on June 11th according to the press releases the past few days. This is actually one of the better examples of a non-Nexus device getting an update.

This whole 'argument' is ridiculous and is either trolling or an attempt to derail the thread or both. Or not, it's hard to tell sometimes. Either way, it will always be the phone that makes you happiest that is best for you. I'm done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mailboy1412:
for another 50 Euro, go for it :) GS3 is way better than GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonker83:
You would be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibila:
I would get the s3 and give it some Nova launcher love. That should run like a boss!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Right? There was a thread just like this not two days ago and everyone was bashing the SGSIII. Then I say something like that and everyone loves it. Go figure haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
I love the look of the s3 but ive falling in love with my gn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
That's a serious argument not to love the S3 :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7e9ebi41Wc

After screen is broken - it just doesn't work anymore :D What a shame Samsung.. :)

PS: Me.. I love my GN. But if I could, I would switch to S3. S3 is just a bit better.

PS2: Is it possible to have another launcher (if I don't like Touch Wiz) on S3? Like completely disable TouchWiz and install Apex or any other?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Crapwiz is not only a launcher, it's a part of the framework and other system files, just like a cancer that infiltrates the surrounding tissue, u can't get rid of it comepletly with a launcher (icons, notification bar,menu and settings etc..). For people who think that by installing nova or apex they will get the aosp feel on s3, i say go install the ported new crapwiz launcher on ur gnex and u will get the crapwiz experience u look for on s3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
My personal opinion, is Yeah, it's the SIII and it has 2gb of RAM, which I'm sure is just super fast, but it's not a Nexus.

I will never use another NON-Nexus device as long as Android is around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronak47:
Touche...

Nexus all the way... people question why apple sell shed loads of phones... its simple the software is optimized to run on the hardware thus delivering a good user experience... its also the same with the nexus line... trust me I have a one x and have also done comparisons to the s3 and the difference if any is negligible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danrarbc:
For me it would depend on how quickly an AOSP RIL can be up and running. If it's reasonably soon the hardware of the GSIII wins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Still after reading these i dont no if i should... Correct me if im wrong but i have a feeling that the gn will have more of an community
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
Honestly with these two phones being so similar, I think you need to go in the first day you can and play around with it, and see which feels better to you.

I agree the Nexus will always have more of a community, but look at the SII, it certainly wasn't left in the cold.

Coming from under powered phones in terms of RAM, the 2GB is a huge selling point for me. But The idea of having no physical buttons on my phone was a huge draw to the Nexus.

They really are two comparable phones, in my eyes, the RAM and the one button are the only differences. If you like all the goofy Samsung Touch Wiz BS and their nerw stuff, that could also be a selling point, but most of us want Vanilla anyway.

Sorry, I kind of started rambling, adn I don't think I helped you at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
You did help actually i think you made me stay with my nexus. Thanks.. And plus my neighbour and good friend got the s3 in white today so ill have a look tomorrow and see.. And i know this is not the right thread but is your screen when on a white background not "pure" like my kind of has different shade one white line running down the screen and this is my second gn.. Oh and p. S the 2gb ram isn't in ireland
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
What a crock that the SIII is so different depending on where you live. No quad core in the US, no 2GB RAM in Ireland. Come on Samsung.

Glad I could help, I think in the long run you'll still be happy with your GNexus, it will stay at least as up to date as the SIII. It's the next Nexus or maybe the S4 that will have all of us GNexus owners wanting to upgrade.

I read the screen thread numerous times and heard all the complaints about the GNexus screen and I almost didn't get one because of it. I am a Verizon customer in the US and I'm in the middle of a 2 year contract, so I bought my GNexus off ebay, and the guy told me it was new/never used. He said he bought it for his daughter but then she wanted an iphone, not sure why he couldn't return it. I consider myself lucky, because my screen is beautiful. I have no lines, or grey parts or anything bad except there is a tiny bit of a blue tinge to the screen when on a pure white screen like the Google Webpage, but not enough for me to really care, plus I heard you can fix it with custom ROM's.

So to answer your question, NO. My screen doesn't have any issues like in this horror story thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] printing724:
FWIW, I had a Fascinate before the GNex. I had it rooted and flashed the same day I got it and spent the better part of a year trying to get rid of TouchWiz and get as close to a stock/stable Android experience as possible. Several came close. I was on CM7 for several months toward the end, but gave up and reverted to a TW-based rom. Too many bugs and stability issues.

It was six weeks before I rooted and flashed the GNex. It has been everything I tried to get the Fascinate to be. So...if you don't mind TouchWiz, the S3 might be better for you. If you want stock Android, I'd stay with the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ficklecycler:
??? ok...

To the OP, I would totally go back and get the GS3. The Nexus is awesome, but there are several key upgrades in the GS3 that I'd like to have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusNero:
Nexus FTW.

If I was to get a SGSIII it would be rooted, and an AOSP ROM would be put upon it. However, it would not have the sexy look of the Nexus.

I will never get another phone outside the Nexus line....and when JellyBean does arrive, the GNex will have it and look good with it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I have galaxy nexus gsm, still on 4.0.1 for the last 5-6 months since I first got it January 2012 and not one update here since in Australia lol, so it may be true that you get quick updates in the US an places like that its not the case for Australian gnex users.I had to root an flash 4.0.4 just to get what most get ota on their gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
Have you checked do you have yakju or yakjuxw?

There's a very simple procedure how to switch to yakju (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895) which would increase your chances getting OTA updates.

No root required. As far as I understand. Just unlock the device to install yakju image. And then you can lock it again and it will be completely stock again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
even if u get the S3 now, u'll have these same feelings when the new nexus comes out, and will want to have it's "key upgrades". i think people (talking in general here) should learn more how to control their desires, coz honestly, i don't find how a person who owns a gnex can feel the necessity to upgrade to a newer phone, whether S3 or One X or whatever. it's more for having the latest gadget out there so they can be cool than it being a necessity. my opinion is that neither the S3 nor the One X introduced something exceptional that would shorten my patience and make me get a new gadget before the announcement of a new nexus flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
If you're into mods and customizations then get the Galaxy Nexus. The developer community is enormous and you can usually expect the latest releases to show up for the GNex before most other devices.

On the other hand, the SIII will be a beastly device. I'm sure it will soon be developer's device of choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redrumsilence:
Look at the S2, then the GNex, then the S3

The S3 is the the clear winner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidx1978z4:
This thread seems pretty split on opinions, so I figure I'll through my two cents on this topic.

I bought the verizon gnex on launch day and had never been more disappointed in a tech purchase. It could not hold a 4g signal in places that I know have a strong signal, both speakers sucked, I had constant mic cut outs during calls, and the battery life was horrendous. There were many such reports in the forums, so I just returned the phone outright and went back to my bionic, which despite its reputation worked flawlessly for me.

In early march I decided to look for another used gnex at places like craigs list and ebay that I could pick up cheap, figuring that I could at least sell it off for the same price if I had a another bad experience. I bought a gnex from some guy who had bought it for his girlfriend for valentines day, but she didn't like it and went back to her old iphone. The casing of the phone is all dinged up from getting dropped but the sreen was perfect, so I paid $250 for it and put a case on it to cover the damage.

In all honesty this gnex is the best phone I have ever owned hands down, and I have gone through nine smart phones since the OG iphone on lauch day. I haven't experienced any problems what so ever with this phone and have really enjoyed flashing just about every rom, kernel, themes and radios available. I would not have even considered the s3, except for the fact thst verizon hooked me up for some reason, the day that I activated the used gnex.

That day verizon bumped me up to be eligble for an upgrade on my line, even though I had just used my upgrade for the bionic three months earlier, and they gave me some kind of $50 hardware credit. I couldn't resist burning that upgrade on pre ordering the s3, especially at less than $200 after the upgrade fee, and also being able to keep my grandfathered unlimted data plan before they end the practice.

Anyway, I'm excited to get the s3. What I hpoe will happen is that a deodexed touchwiz rom will be released that will allow it to be themed like stock ics, while retaining the features of touchwiz that I like. Also I'm sure that there will be good aokp or cm9 ports coming, if you want touchwiz gone altogether.

The main thing that I want to see happen in the s3 dev community is the ability to disable the capacitive buttons and put some on screen navigation buttons, while leaving the home hard button funtional. In my opinion, it should have been designed this way from the start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
I'd get the S3 because I love TouchWiz, and I don't like the fact, that I don't have any buttons, anymore...

But, because my Nexus has got an insurance, I won't get a new phone, untill next year, and then the s4 will probably be out...

But, as it's your choice, and your phone, have a good sleep over it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
When I'm on jellybean an your still using ics on the S3 a few months from now I think you will kick yourself.It took the S2 4 months to get ics after gnex what makes you think the S3 is going to be any different in terms of waiting for updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunswick000:
GS3. You're talking euros so that means the international version with the quad core processor. Bigger screen than the nexus. I wouldn't worry to much about about updates. It will have a strong developer community backing it. Unless you can hold out for the next nexus device(s).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
People that have tried that say they still only get the 4.0.2 update, not worth jumping from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 stock when I can just stay on aokp b38 4.0.4 rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Im inclined to go with The s3 on tuesday. And devs when they get the source for android 4.1 its only a matter or days maybe weeks before we would get jelly bean(4.1) too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Think420:
if you got the cash go for it, but honestly the nexus is a great phone that offers a lot more than the GS3 in the long run due to the developer community

I see most of the new features the GS3 eventually getting ported to the nexus anyways
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
I just have it in my head that there will be more development in the galaxy s3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
from a plain economics point of view it makes sense to get the s3.. if its only 50 euro more... secondhand prices for the Galaxy nexus are about 300 euro (thats what i got mine for) and you would easily get 450 for an s3 secondhand..

plus you are getting much newer tech.. i love my nexus and wouldnt change it for the s3, but if i was in the same position re the price difference i would.. its a no brainer..

just the extra memory and micro sd slot on the s3 is a very nice to have in my mind..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Bad news i sent my nexus away with a fault with is the data drop and they said its not broke so i guess theres no more s3 :(
