No backwards compatibility and always online, no thanks MS. The rest, I couldnt care less.
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
On second thought, it probably doesn't matter how far users get to bend over for the next XBox. Hardcore console gaming is a niche market, and said gamers are more or less captive. Some peeps are threatening to jump to PS4, but each has its exclusives. If you're hooked on Halo or whatever, you're still gonna get your uppers from Uncle Ballmer even if he wants your left nut.

XBox/XBL isn't a huge market (XBL pop: 40mil per WikiP), so whatever happens, MS' bottom line won't be materially impacted. But the upmarket pricing will ensure consoles staying on the skids. As with Surface RT, MS is going for premium while trying to expand its foothold in the living room at the same time. Your captive base may go yessuh masta Ballmer, but casual gaming peeps will balk at the sticker shock and the draconian DRM. There are already too many choices vying for the entertainment eyeball, and there'll be more still. Apple & Goog won't be sitting around picking daisies.

Anyway, I wonder how XBL will fare with Metro UI, as greater integration will mean more "appification." If keyboard/mouse is awkward for Metro, XBox controller will be a gas! I don't think 50" touch-screen TVs are coming to Walmart any time soon.

Then again, Metro is fairly suited to the simplified U/D/L/R nav scheme for most 10' UIs. XBL apps will need to be dumbed down to fit (read: forget Office on your TV.) But if Kinect is bundled, maybe there's still a chance for me to be a chimp on meth, while MS records it all for posterity.

Can some one make a mod to compmpress the SDCARD like we used to do when computers come with 210MB hard drives? compressing x2 it would double the space.

Don't know what technology was used put is got obsolete quickly since HD grew so fast.

In this case we are stuck with the 14GB SDCARD.

I'm sure there is a need for this type of mod. I'd be willing to give up some SDread performance for a mod like this.
[HTC One S] HighRoIIer:
It depends on what you have stored on the sd card.

First we have only the 10gb partition which is free to use..

And second over the years the most contant we use was already compressed.

So, Mp3, jpeg, avi are all compressed files, therefore there is very less room for further compression.

So i guess the mod is not worthe the truble.

[HTC One S] c19932:
is it possible to repartition to create an "sdcard" larger than 10gb? i would be happy even with 1-2 gb of more space
[HTC One S] Big_Den:
Would be possible with s-off to allow for repartition.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Did you sbf and take the latest OTA? The current version of the Eclipse will function only on that version of gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
yes but ill try it again just to back track my steps. I have factory reset had to sbf after Miui and before. I always sbf and wipe no matter what I do I am kind of OCD and have to start new Ill give it a go right now.
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I have also tried new SD cards as well. I have been messing with dev. for a while so I know a lot about it I also read everything and more before I do anything (OCD) Been working on my A100 and its been easy and was easy flashing Miui dont know what I missed
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I have the correct 2.3.5 (412) build so I dont get it
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
If you are trying to flash Eclipse 2.2.1, you must be on the OTA 2.3.5 (418) build. Also, you have to root 2.3.4 and backup root using Voodoo before updating to 2.3.5.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
and remove voodoo's su backup, before flashing eclipse
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Latest official is 418. Latest eclipse won't work with 412. That could be the problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That isn't the latest build. 418 is.
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I'll remove voodoo but I DL Eclipse that was with the 412 file in the same thread unless I did not see It right. I tried to flash this a week ago and had to stop messing w/it I was editing band pics in PS & LR so I just now picked it up again. I DL the Blur version 412 should I kick that to the curb and DL 418? I was under the impression that the GBP7v0.5 would work with 2.3.5 412 though if so that would not flash as well

[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
Correct me if I am wrong Eclipse did work with that version at one time or no? I saw Eclipse 3.0 but have not read the forum yet and I have been working on my Acer tab more. When I was on 2.3.4 I had no issues with Miui I had to sbf to 2.3.4 from OTA Leak 2.3.5 b/c I was not to fond of that rom at that time I will flash it at another time. I really dig the Eclipse Rom so if I need to start ov and it looks that way then I will have to read up on everything so I know what I am doing and not half assing it. I hate doing that.

[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I saw the 3.0 version for the Bionic and I have 418 DL now I am going to read some and flash the 418 and try Eclipse then if all is good take care of voodoo and hope it works. However I have some reading to do before hand. I am sure if it foes not go right I'll complain about it even if it is an operator error I'll still have to blame my DX2 for any errors. I think thats how it works :rolleyes:;)

Edit: See post below.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
You don't even need voodoo anymore. Just take ota and root using motofail.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Did ya get it?
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
LaserChicken, those steps are incorrect!!

In order to flash eclipse 2.2.1 just do this...

-SBF to 2.3.4

-Root using Petes 1 click method

-Download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from play store

-Backup root & TEMP UNROOT (do not delete backup yet!!!!!!! )

-Settings>About Phone>Software Update> DOWNLOAD 2.3.5 OTA

*After downloading 2.3.5 from system settings the phone will reboot to stock recovery and install 2.3.5 kernel.*

-Reboot

-Open VooDoo, restore root

-NOW DELETE SU BACKUP FROM VOODOO

-Once you restore root & delete the backup < IMPORTANT! from voodoo you should be able to flash eclipse from BSR :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Straight from nitro in another thread. Sbf, take ota, root via motofail, install bsr and flash eclipse then profit. So much easier than the previous method.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
saw that, but I haven't got motofail to work with 2.3.5/1.3.418
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Ok, I just grabbed Motofail, gonna sbf and try it myself.
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I am about to try this one more time I have been dealing with my psycho fish giving birth to about 80 swimming eyeballs so its been a crappy day and I hope my DX2 does not feel the wrath. I have Factory Rest the phone with and without Voodoo I have also let it OTA and that was with the Stock version 2.3.4 MOTO sent installed on the phone. I have missed a little step and I am going to do what well...all of you guys said and ill let ya know in about 30. Also you guys F-Ing ROCK!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
Oh Duh!!! I totally forgot this due to lack of sleep but when you SBF you rename it to Update makes file update.zip (not Update.zip.zip) and phone should install on its own when in recovery or is that just when you are going to update to a new Version e.g. 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 I will sbf and see if it OTA on its own I am dl all files again just to make sure there are no bad dl. I really hate to think that flashing other roms were just a fluke on my part well about 3 flukes and lmao you guys have me cracking up also thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
If you download and rename it you will have to flash it but the OTA should install on its own
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Was motofail successful for you? I tested it and it didn't work. I used the Linux version as I refuse to have Windows installed on any computer I own or control--so unless there is something different between the Win ver of Motofail and Nix ver--I'd stick with Pete's and Voodoo.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Worked on windows for me?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
This is why I wish Nitro would have kept Eclipse on 2.3.4. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] sortosane:
This shouldn't be this difficult

Hey, Been trying to flash Eclipse for 2 days now and keep getting the same error. I've followed everything from the developer walkthru up to the point of flashing the rom. keep getting this:

E:Can't chown/mod /system/

(Operation not permitted)

E:Failure at line 294:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

I can restore just fine, I've re-downloaded the zip 4 different times on 3 different machines.

WTF?

edit: think i figured it out... rootkeeper... :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Alright I can confirm I was wrong. Motofail is a no go. I sbf'd multiple times and tried every combination I could think but no go. It always failed when trying to push su and busy box. I'm sorry if I sent some people to waisting time by suggesting it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
yeah, go with .418 instead of .412, .412 is pretty much the same ud as .418, except .412 was a leaked update that was found, so id go ahead and nandroid, voodoo backup root then flash blur update .418 then delete voodoo su and flash eclipse 2.2.1 and see if that works

but remember /alwaysalwaysalways/ backup your rom so you can go back if anything happens
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
I just now finally flashed Eclipse and I cant stand it I am so stoked lol!!!!I dont know how or why but my RSD lost its mind and would go through everything and say finished is showed no errors but I checked all system and device info and RSD had done nothing. So I wiped all Moto files from PC and did new DL's of EVERYTHING :rolleyes: and started it all like i had just got the phone. I SBF rooted and OTA last night and passed out before i could do any flashing and i am still going on about 2 hours of sleep in 48hrs. I am out of phones and tablets. :D Oh wait I still have my milestone x2 have not touched in months has the bootloader been unlocked?
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Nope bootloader is still locked
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
hows that a100 running, btw? get any ICS leaks/official yet?
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
Of course it is! Ggggrrr I have not looked anything like root, mods etc. on the MX2 in months. I have a couple of things about root but nothing about that phone had jumped out at me as far as roms and hacks go. Oh well I will just play with my gift DX2 that finally has Eclipse stupid RSD! It went all quackery on me. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
Its doing pretty BadA** I have ZeroNull's Green ICS on it but have been going back and forth from Zero's ICS to FlexReaper on 4.0.3 and the Flex Kernal Tweaks I really wish I could find more on the Acer but everything I look up it is the same.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
do you have the unlocked bootloader on it?
[Motorola Droid X2] alidust42:
Yep and piece of cake I waited for the OTA b/c I was a little chicken its my 1st. When the OTA hit I said F it and have had no issues with any of the mods and unlocking the BL did a recovery and bricked it for the fun of it and restored it back. It is a ton of fun I wish more than anything there were mods and stuff for it. I wish I could get that good to make them
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythomasy:
i've been looking around here and found some posts about rooting the 4.0.4 of LT15i.

for my locked bootloader LT15i, i might flash the 4.0.3 .FTF(4.1.A.0.562) ,then use the one-click root ,then flash back to the 4.0.4 .FTF(4.1.B.0.431)

should i use the right 4.0.3 .ftf and 4.0.4.ftf (use my HK version .ftf)?

but i can't find any hk version 4.0.3/4.0.4 ftf in the forums.

if i flash with the global version ftf ,is it harmful to my LT15i?

BTW, in my software info, it says: file system version: WORLD-1-8_4.1.B.0.431

phone software version: 1241-4324_4.1.B.0.431
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Just flash stock 4.0.3 kernel, root and flash stock 4.0.4 kernel. This way you get to keep your HK customisations.

(To flash the kernel alone, exclude all other options in Flashtool).

And flashing different .ftf's won't harm your phone. You will just lose some of the customisations i.e. some region specific apps. In most cases, it's just bloatware.

Cheers!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythomasy:
Thanks very much !

And could you give me a link of stock 4.0.3 kernel and stock 4.0.4 kernel (what does 'stock' mean here?)

i just downloaded a 431 general-global ftf from the post and it's 199MB, it may not be the 'kernel' ,is it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
You've downloaded the entire ROM, hence the big file.

Download the LT18i .562 ftf from the same post as well. This gives you 4.0.3.

Put both the .ftfs in the firmwares folder of Flashtool. Now when you choose to flash, you should be able to see both the firmwares listed. Choose the .562 and EXCLUDE everything except the kernel (in the options on the right hand side). This way, you're flashing just the kernel and nothing else. Root it and then do the same thing with the .431 kernel.

Stock means the unmodified firmware you got from Sony (Ericsson).

NB: There's a 4.0.3 kernel alone somewhere in the forum. If you don't want to download the whole 4.0.3 ftf, you would need to search for this.

HI all!

I searched, found lots of threads about how to turn SMS NOTIFICATION off ... but .. I want to turn SMS off completely on my galaxy nexus ...

I am on Verizon, but, I'm guessing some folks would like to turn it off on the gms prepaid plans too ...

Basically, I want to go google voice, ALL IN!! Have everyone call me on my gvoice number, use my gvoice voicemail, give up MMS and use email for pics, and google voice for all normal sms txt.

I want to completely ditch my verizon txt plan, BUT, I don't want to have to pay for folks that sms txt directly to my cell phone number.

Is there a way to "shut off" sms to my cell number on my galaxy nexus?

Thanks!

verizon text plans

I don't you can have no text plans with Verizon, but there is a choice to pay only per text message with no monthly cost.

By default, Google Voice will still route the text messages to your phone, unless you turn that off, and choose to forward them to email.

True. Would any of the black list apps work or blockers.

I can grooveip then google voice txt over data, so think I'm all set, that set up lets me send unlimited sms that don't register with the cell company as sms.

I, and it seems other folks would too, need a way to NOT pay for spam / unwanted sms txt to our cell phone numbers.

Anyone else got any thoughts? Sounds like this isn't a Galaxy Nexus question then, I thought my phone could turn this off. Is there another more general forum I should be asking in?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
The answer was already said, try reading please.

Call Verizon and tell them to block SMS on your line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Verizon can block all texting, and can remove the texting charges from your account assuming you have an individual plan with a separate texting addon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] munkiii:
You get charged for receiving text messages?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes. sending and receiving messages cost money in the US.

to the OP, i used to work at VZW, they can block texting completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bryantjopplin:
I thought if the phone actually didn't receive it from the towers its not charged to the account. I would use a freezer and freeze the messenger app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noneone:
OK THANKS! If was a setting I'd just try it right out, but, before I call VZW then ....

If I have VZW turn off sms for my account, if someone sends me a sms, does it bounce back at them, or just look to the like it was delivered, and go off into nowhere?

THanks!

Some people might be interested to know, that Google Wallet works with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, using a "Seidio 3800 mAh extended battery with NFC", and the Convert Combo rugged case.

I had to side-load Google Wallet, but it activated and Google gave me $10 to try it.

I went to 7-11 and made a purchase and it works! :D

For those who have not tried Google Wallet yet, once the cashier rang up the total, I turned on my phone screen, touched the back of the phone to the pay terminal, Google Wallet asked for my PIN, then touch the pay terminal again with phone, and it completed the sale.

I used to have a Galaxy S II and when I played music over bluetooth to my car stereo it would display the song name, artist etc.....

With this phone (One S) this no longer happens. And it doesnt happen in any car that I pair with so I know its the phone.

Anyone know of a remedy to this issue. While some may not consider it a deal breaker, I may sell the phone for this reason alone.
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
It's because sense roms for 1S doesn't support AVRCP 1.3 profile. I believe there are some AOSP or AOKP ( not sure) builds support AVRCP1.3 profile. So if you want to fix your problem, flash one of these roms.

For me it's not important... as I use the display of the ONE S as the default display for track and time... so it's not a big problem.

Hi guys,

I've noticed that since upgrading to ICS on my Note, the Wifi is always on and downlink is always lighted up as though the phone is downloading something all the time.

Because of that, the phone gets hot and battery drains.

Is anyone out here facing a similar problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Now I'm sure this sounds dumb. Just about positive of it but what if I used my upgrade on another line on the same account? I'm assuming I'll still lose unlimited data? I mean I have another line that has an upgrade waiting that I'll use whenever the next phone I want comes out but I like having multiple upgrades lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No, you shouldn't lose unlimited data if you are giving your upgrade to another line on your plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redstar427:
Verify with Verizon

I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus with Verizon, because Amazon was selling it for 1 penny ($0.01), and Verizon had the double data plan for new customers (I am tired of Sprint's fake 4G, etc.).

Then I pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S III, on a 2nd line, upgrading to a Family Plan.

I asked Verizon directly if I would lose the double data rate deal, after the upgrade, and they claimed I would not.

Once I get the phone and activate it, I will check and verify. Also I chatted with a Verizon rep online, and kept the chat conversation and what they said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The upgrade being used should only effect the account that "uses" the upgrade. So if its not your line, you shouldn't lose unlimited. I'd quadruple check when doing it though.

But eventually, when changing your plan or upgrading any phone, you'll be ushered over to the new share plans. Make sure they don't do that to you if you don't want it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea I'm gonna be checking a lot but I figured this should get me one or two phones before losing it. I rarely use much data but I love the unlimited fall back.

Hello all, I have a Fascinate on AOKP Milestone 4. I'm not sure what kernel, I don't think it's Voodoo, it may be Icy Glitch.

I forgot to charge it overnight, it had low power, and I left it on during the day. I tried turning it on, and it just goes the SAMSUNG logo for about 6 seconds, briefly flashes off, then goes back to the SAMSUNG logo for around 30 seconds, then repeats.

If I plug it in with the battery, it goes to the charging screen, which is not animated.

If I plug it it with no battery and the down volume button depressed, it goes to the Download screen.

Any help would be appreciated, I have Nandroids, and I would like to avoid wiping all of my data.
