DD-Ripper and prboy1969, I plus +1 both of you.

I think the only reason Crapple has been this successful because they use Unix and think about that, Both Linux and Mac OS (yuch) use Unix as there core language. Hands down though, Linux is far more better because of the fact that it's open sourced. Linux will never die if people are still willing to code it.

I hate all these Apple addicts out there. They are the most idiotic and annoying "tech" people out there.

Apple releases a new products that is "new" but in reality it's just a revamped product that was out already.

Like the iPad... Tablets have been around for a long time. Just cause Apple decided to bring them back making them thinner, and more idiot friendly doesn't make them as great as they are hyped to be.

I'm sick of all the hype that surrounds Apple's products...

I'm through with my rant now... thanks. lol
[Android General] nightfire37:
+1 :highfive:
[Android General] mistermentality:
To be fair to Apple making an idiot friendly slim tablet was what made tablets so popular, if it wasn't for them its doubtful we would have the competing android tabs that more tech minded people may prefer and when it debuted it was the best tablet so it did deserve some of the hype.

Apple took a good idea, ironed out the kinks and produced what became the benchmark for modern tablets. It wasn't the first ever tablet but it was the easiest and most user friendly and at the time was innovative.

Now Apple rarely innovate and yet people flock to buy their products but the original ipad was actually innovative and worth some of the hype.

[Android General] stumpyz9:
Right here. This is the type of products apple makes. Like every other person in this thread knows, apple fans dont know why apple products are "better" they just are. Thats because the products are made for these idiots. Why is this better? Uhmmm......cuz i put an S on the end of it. My friend had an encounter with someone who would go far in apple. He had a droid X and wanted a faster phone, so he asked if he wrote X2 on the back it would be faster.

OMG... That guy is really outrageus.... I added my comment too there into all those -ves which is quoted below... He even reviewed an adroid phone lol.. i have no patience to read it... i have sent same comment to his email n g+ profile... what he is doing there in goole plus rather than camping outside cupertino my god...

'lol.... i feel funny about 'apple operates in a vaccum'. If you can list out their innovations i can feed it into my ever lowering knowledge about apple n their products.. Hope u dont list inventing mobile phone into it.. Reading ur article n the payment u got u may be tempted to do it haha OMG... If apple is not going to balloon their 'small' device near close to current smartphone levels , surely they will be pumped out of scene like nokia gone down...Then by mere lawsuits against CR infringements wont be sufficient to stay in the competition. Didnt they invent their new technology yet to make screen big?

Common man , I would have been really happy if u tried looking at ur own backhole to see how big/small it is, instead of this ********. I'm very sure right now my middle finger on right hand is pointing upwards in front of ur face. This article makes more apple haters which goes against the intention behind it. May be by reading all those above -ve comments apple may take down ur next payment ... hahaha'

I love Apple, The only thing they need to improve is iPhone screen size. Mac OS x Lion is alright, so is Mountain Lion, iOS 5 and 6 is fine. But i still prefer Android on my phone and iOS on my iPad. I dont want an iPhone because of the screen. Thats all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonnythrice:
Hey all,

I have a Sena SMH-10 Motorcycle bluetooth headset. Its always paired up and worked with my SGSII perfectly. All calls, music and even voice commands functioned relatively well. Normally, I'd press the "call" button on my Sena, and it would activate the Samsung voice commands with a "what would you like to do?" voice prompt.

Now that I've upgraded to ICS (unrooted, stock SGSII), the call button on the Sena doesnt activate the voice command. The phone pairs up fine, calls, music and notifications come through the headset. But as you know, riding a motorcycle doesnt really allow me to open apps or dial manually on the road!

Anyone have any ideas? Some setting in BT or Voice that I missed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I had big problems with that too...it won't light the screen or ask me what i want unless the screen was unlocked...it worked fine on gb...I'm using cyberon now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
It seemed that ICS broke many features that we were all used to. I'm the same way with the blue tooth headset. I purchased a top-of-the-line Blue Ant G2. worked perfectly on GB, but not on ICS.

I'm about to give up and Odin back to GB before ICS and the maintenance update, when everything worked like it suppose to.

Yeah yeah yeah, ill be giving up the smooth transitions. but ill be getting back my scrolling wall paper, working BT, and a bunch more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] syntaxerr0r:
I'm having the same problem. I really hope it gets fixed soon! The only function that works is the long press on the BT handsfree (Motorola T505) which redials the last number.

Is this issue also present in CM9?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
I'm using stock ICS. It seems to work okay with my BlueAnt. I activate the phone voice command by saying "phone commands" to my BlueAnt.

However, I don't have a headset, I have the BlueAnt S4 handsfree for my car. Haven't finished rebuilding my motorcycle, so haven't bought the headset. Do the headsets have the capability for voice commands? If so, maybe try that and see if it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] syntaxerr0r:
Which voice command do you use on the phone, the stock Google one or vLingo? How is your BT/voice command activation setup? Can you get it to take commands when it's locked (my biggest problem)?

I'm interested to see if, perhaps, it's just a matter of settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fogrocker:
MC helmet BT

I thought mine wasnt working at all.... one push of the button on my helmet and music would stop.... then I tryed it stopped and found that the press of the button would bring up the Voice talk app and if I said Hi Gallexy it would ask what I wantwed to do but the volume would be so low that I wasnt hearing it.... havnt got an answer on what to do yet,,, still working on it...

Thats my two cents

Hi Everyone, How I can install a custom recovery in a500 On ICS

The Build Number is : 1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Image Version is : RV03RC01_WW-GEN1

If You help me i can help you :highfive:

Sorry For My Bad English

:silly:

Acer A500 Stock ICS

HTC Incredible 2 Stock ( For Now) :D
[Acer Iconia A500] jiteshkumawat:
1. Install acer recovery installer from market. This apk is free.

2. Keep with you the .zip or .image file of recovery which you want to install and place it in sd card.

3. Run the apk and select install from sd card.

4. If apk do not detect .zip file in your sd card than extract recovery.image from that file and store it in sd card.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

You can get custom recovery files from tegraowners.com or any other custom recovery in development section.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
The real answer is if you have ICS, to install a custom recover or custom kernel you must have an unlocked bootloader.

The following resources are related to the new bootloader, a quick read of the OPs of the first two are highly recommended, even if you install with the third link. (This is to have a highlevel idea of what you are changing on your device, as it will help you find what you need to look closer at in future if something goes wrong, or possibly prevent a problem in the first case)

bootloader thread

civato's guide

Afterota tool (windows users bootloader install tool)

If you already have the unlocked bootloader installed, but can't boot into recovery:

This is likely because you have a stock ICS rom overwritting recovery with the stock recovery in every boot; either use fastboot or (if you have root) a program such as acer recovery installer to force the install of a recovery and immediately reboot into it. (Most bootloader installers will also install a recovery that you can immediately boot into)

Once in recovery you can backup/restore/or install a rom modified to prevent the overwrite of recovery. (More advanced users can stop this from adb by removing some files)

Personally I use a lightly modified version of the stock rom you are using now:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661492

it ought to be safe to do a no wipe update to that and receive a more expected environment with a custom recovery, optional custom OC kernel, and busybox support.

However if you explore the dev section, many other (both more and less modified) versions of ICS roms exist. Themed and otherwise. So feel free to explore.

Is there any reason now not to just download and install the 211 leak that's been out for a few days?

Meh. Its close enough. I had the .75 build just to get a feel for it then I flashed back. I don't mind waiting another few days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
I wouldn't... It may be the same build, but you never know if there might be some teeny tiny tweaks, and we still don't know if leaks take you off the upgrade path (I've only heard that it MIGHT be possible)...

But I really came here to say BOOM! The wait is (almost) OVER!

Is it safe to assume the update breaks root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FlyersPh9:
Currently I have an update for 3.6 something but it fails every time...I think because I removed some apps like Madden and other "non-deletable" apps. How do i fix this so I can apply ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
I would assume so. Some haven't in the past but since this is such an expansive update, I would expect it to break root. Just my opinion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work you may have to fastboot. I'm curious about the "3.6" , what did you mean? RAZR doesn't have a 3.6 version number.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
So the latest leak is the OTA? I may just flash it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
The build number may be the same but there may very well be some differences between the leak and official. Who knows... I'm just going to wait it out
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aliceics:
I'm not fastbooting back until people start posting that they got the OTA. I absolutely love ics and how stable it is. Idk about you, but for me, GB 2.3.6 for my RAZR was absolutely awful. I don't mean looks but it was noticeably choppier.... and ugly :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
After a few weeks on .79, then flashing back in preparation for OTA, the .181 build seems downright nasty, glitchy, and this could just be my imagination, but I swear it even has a musty/moldy smell to it.

I think it made a brand new package of hamburger buns go moldy early.

PS: Now that Gingerbread is about to be history, there's no harm in torturing it a bit.

nice review... but one thing from your review (might have found other things, but i'm too sleepy right now):

Walkman (the music app), you said: The app itself didn't change all too much

i said: OMFG! it plays FLAC! the gingerbread's music app only plays my ringtone, while this so called Walkman app plays almost all my flac (almost because it doesnt play some of my flacs, dunno why)

and it plays beautifully.. i mean the looks, the sound is ok, but Neutron is still the king.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Velnica:
Finally finished getting all of my logins back on the phone :D Now onto my quick points review:

1. Since when did Google auto-sync installed apps? I logged into the Market and it downloaded all of the apps I had installed! +10000000 to Google

2. Walkman music app is sleek :) One feature that I still desperately want is for Shuffle/Repeat to be an icon and not buried in the menu

3. Album is nice, but it's a bit slow cause I have tons of photos. I also wish you can exclude album arts from showing up >.>

4. The native email app doesn't support Push IMAP :( But it does look awesome

5. Sometimes I lag when exiting form an app to the home screen (by pressing Home button). All my widgets & shortcuts go blank and then pop themselves back on. Thinking of clearing the app cache to see if anything's amiss. Anyone else have this problem?

6. The PlayStation app is gone O_O Is the one by Sony in the market the same one? I installed it and it looked different...

If you have battery drain problem overnight, download this app: Badass Battery Monitor

Charge to full then leave it running overnight and then the next day check for the following:

1. Screen on time - sometimes app updates turn this on

2. Apps -> Power% used - this app will tell you in more details what part of teh Android System uses it most (kernel, etc)

3. Apps -> Wakelock - Some apps had problem with this. I had Kaiten mail installed and it was waking my phone up 500 times during the night, hence battery drain. This is now fixed.

4. Apps -> Check for any suspiciously big numbers in each of the dropdown menu

Hope that might help

changed my view on the browser... after using it for several days I find it really great and give up using Dolphin HD.

Dolphin still have its edge over the stock in few areas, but the stock comes really close in this iteration, close enough for me to stop using Dolphin.

- slide from the edge of the phone to the center of the screen, it bring you to the next tab!

- slide from up to down to reveal address bar/ tab

- boomark sync with Chrome
