Actually the mic would always be on, an inactive mic wouldn't be able to track said user's voice. The phone's camera is active(screen on) while the device is on, Android phones enter sleep/deep sleep after X amount of seconds. Unless you are suggesting that Voice unlock be used once a user turns on the screen...Which would be pointless since you would just use your hands or camera Via Face Unlock.

Now if you mean "hands-free" Voice Unlock, that would clearly require an active mic 24/7 so that it can always check for user input. Both seem useless though IMO. It takes like 4 secs to unlock in jelly Bean so why bother with the phone detecting your voice? That's precious time be wasted on a gimmick.
[General Topics] KeithOYS:
If I'm not mistaken, S Voice is capable of doing that.
[General Topics] clarkinum:
i don't think so...

I think it is need a special kernel. S3 have it. maybe big guys can port it but it is must special for every device
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] frost866:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
I've moved my VZWGnex, like the rest of the herd, to JB and flashed a few kernels for fun. Personally, I had no issues at all. Now, about 24 hrs in, I'm kinda missing all of the customization of Liquid 1.5 (ICS).

Since there are so many threads that have been peppered with issues involving Nandroid/CWM/Alt Recoveries/TBU, I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the experiences.

The central question of the thread is...

Which are the reliable methods for moving from JB to ICS on the Gnex?

Obviously, there will be variations on the theme, based on individual history and preferences, but I've not seen the answer to this question clearly defined in any way other than via fastboot. That may be the only way, but I'm tempted to believe that a nandroid backup can work. Did it work for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tkirton:
I have TeamWin Recovery. I simply back up (nandroid) the ICS and then install JB. To go back, I simply restore the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Yep. Just restored my ics backup a little while ago with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
And you're already done this, right? This isn't just theory.

To which ICS rom did you restore? And from which JB rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
I have cwm. Flashed bigxies (check spelling) jb rom last night and flashed back my backup of rascream/trinity combo a little bit ago

Did not wipe just flashed backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
In an effort to bolster others' confidence, maybe those of you who have restored ICS roms from nandroid backups could give some extra details, like:

Your daily driver that you backed up before going to JB.

Your preferred recovery.

Your version of JB.

The exact steps you took to restore the nandroid backup.

(Ex: All I did was restore my backup in CWM. Did not wipe.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
Update:

Came from Liquid 1.5 and CWM 5.5.0.4 (it's not the touch version)

Flashed the Vicious JBv2 without issue. Tried several kernels - stock, stock linaro, Franco, etc.

Without wiping, flashed the Liquid 1.5 nandroid in CWM.

NO ERRORS

Sent from my Liquid 1.5 GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spearhead121:
<just asking>

so you can apparently restore to 4.0.4 cwm backup from 4.1 directly without any issues. is that right? and just a question. can i, after restoring to 4.0.4, restore back 4.1 again? that is without flashing the bigxie's jb rom , simply by restoring cwm backup, would it come back to 4.1?

</just asking>

Incase you are wondering why would anyone want to do that, its just that iv experienced some wifi issues since jb update. and iv seen the verizon wifi fix. iv flashed it, only to make the signal more worse. i bot my nexus from the google play store. so i think i may have messed up the wifi files. by going back to 4.0.4 i want to copy the files in wifi directory from the etc folder. just hoping to get back to the normal wifi conectivity as on 4.0.4. is there anything im overlooking or any simpler solution?

thanks a lot in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Yes. A nandroid restore formats everything beforehand so you will have no issue restoring between 4.0.4 and 4.1.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Note, which is an admittedly large phone at 5.3 inches diagonally across. But, many new higher-end phones now offer screens around the 4.7 inch mark, which still is only 2 inches approximately off of a 7 inch tablet. For me, the Nexus 7 is only 1.7 inches bigger in size. So, my question is are 7 inch tablets really needed for those of us with the higher-end and, subsequently, larger phones?
[Nexus 7 General] Psipherious:
That's something you'll have to personally decide. With the same resolution 1280x800 on your phone I assume your text is pretty crisp and readable.

I want a 7 inch tablet for 2 reasons, so I can view websites in landscape mode without any need to zoom in. And so I don't drain the battery my phone while browsing the net for hours.

I won't always have the tablet with me of course like I would the phone, the phone's handy to have while out, but at home I would far rather use the tablet in pretty much all cases.

So... it's really up to the individual. But the battery life is a big factor, I don't want to have to charge my phone multiple times through the day to be able to browse the web for a few hours and still have the phone last to the end of the day.
[Nexus 7 General] SinisterModz:
+1
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
The performance of the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Note is almost identical, as they both sport the same resolution and one with a dual-core 1.4Ghz processor whilst the other has a quad-core albeit clocked slightly slower at 1.3Ghz in speed. The main appeal to me of the Nexus 7, initially, was its ridiculously cheap price, the ability to run tablet apps and also as a battery saver for my phone.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
you know what I love about android there are devices and sizes for everyone, I want a seven inch tab after a year of having a ten inch tab I find it very uncomfortable to use while at home and on the go. Holding it portrait is very cumbersome. while my gf's kindle fire is just right size for ME.

Who cares if there is a place for a seven inch tablet, I for one never want to see devices like these built one way
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
Well, I'd say 10 inch tabs are too big personally. As it was mentioned at the Google I/O, the 7" Nexus won't fall over when holding it with one-hand in bed at night. Plus, in my opinion, 10" devices are verging on laptops for me (Mac laptops for example start at 13 inches). I really cannot decide over the Nexus 7. It'll be quite a strain to save up the money, so I'm not sure whether or not it is worth it.
[Nexus 7 General] tory13579:
+2

I currently run out of battery life at the end of a work day on my GSII due to playing games for a total of an hour and a half and checking it a lot through the day. It will be nice to use the N7 to play games and use phone for texting and Facebook.

Then tether with my phone if I want to browse or what not on the interwebz
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
Would you say 7 inches is a portable size?
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Haven't you made two other threads asking pretty much the same thing?

One thing I will say is that the "only 2 inch difference" is deceptive. 10 inch tablets are only 3 inches bigger than the 7 inchers, yet generally have twice the area (and, if you compare them side by side, you'll probably opine "so much bigger").

If my calculations are correct, the Nexus 7's screen is as large, as the Galaxy Note itself is. Maybe that's not such a large upgrade from the Note, but from smaller, sub 5 inch phones, it may well be.
[Nexus 7 General] macevanscb:
Of course 7in tablets have a place... for some of us

I for one love 7in tablets.

I read ebooks and a 7in screen is almost exactly the size of a paperback book page... and its much easier to read on a tablet (on a stand) than it is to hold an actual book and wrestle with pages.

I have a 4" Droid X, but that's still way to small to read on for me.

And I doubt that a 5" screen is much better.

I want to buy a Nexus 7, but I am really really angry that they didn't include an SD card slot. For me the cloud doesn't exist. Where I live I have wifi at home. But, away from home, 95% of the places I use my tablet do not have wifi... no wifi = no cloud access. I have a 32GB SD card almost filled with ebooks, music, and videos. But that's useless on the Nexus 7, limited to only 8GB or 16GB... and I'll bet that all of that isn't available for media either.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
I suppose so.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
after having a galaxy s vibrant for a while (among other previous phones), i decided just to stick with a basic smartphone that can provide me with the ability to text/email/do basic web browsing/yelp. aside from that i use the tablet to fill in the gaps when traveling and/or sitting at home. my 10" tablet is a bit too big, imo, and i think 7" tablets are a good idea. 7" tablets are easy to hold and tbh having a large phone is a pain getting it into your pocket.

it was a weird adjustment dumbing down on my phone but if i hadn't then i wouldn't have seen the need to get a solid use out of my tablet. plus having a $25 month bill (virgin mobile) for unlimited text/data/small minutes works out much better for me vs paying $100~+ each month w/tmobile.

tl;dr: yes, i think the 7" market will consistently be the most popular market, even with smart phones growing in size.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
The Nexus 7 has 16GB of storage, with which you can store what you like on. It's still pretty decent, as eBooks don't take up too much space, and I think this tablet is aimed for home use. For a close to tablet experience on the go, check out the Galaxy Note. Although, here in the UK where there isn't Google Play Music, fitting all my music into 16GB is going to be difficult. Any news on a UK release for Google Music by the way?
[Nexus 7 General] markp1989:
Im not to sure where a 7" tablet fits, I have wanted to try one for a while, so I figured the nexus 7 would be a good one to try out the form factor.

I already have a largish mobile 4.3" Samsung Galaxy S2 and a 10.1" tablet Asus EEE. I know some days when I am just web browsing in the home the 10" feels too big but the 4.3" feels a bit small, so a 7" seems like it could work well. I will find out soon enough.

Another place I noticed the 10" seeming to big is when I am using it in bed as if im on my back I have to support the weight of the tablet, which does get surprisingly heavy after a few hours holding it.

Brad387 : I signed up for Google Music when it was first released using a proxy server, after initial signup you dont need a proxy to upload or listen to music

the only thing I am not able to do is actually buy music from the Play Store.
[Nexus 7 General] Step666:
There is already a thread discussing tablet sizes etc, please continue all further discussion there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
What's the holdup and what can we do about it?

It's been pointed out that as the owners of this device it's up to us to enforce the GPL.

Does anyone know how to go about applying pressure to HTC?

Anyone a member of EFF.org? I'm getting sick of feeling like HTC's bastard child.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
Yeah, WTH.

I feel there's gotta be a reason. They can't just be ignoring us out of laziness... can they? I think I read somewhere that they could take up to 180 days, which seems ridiculous. It's only been 70 or something like that. In Canada anyway... it was released on 4/20.

I guess would could bombard them with phone calls and emails, but I'm sure that won't make much difference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Surely AT&T has something to do with it, and if that's the case, a letter from xda isn't likely to move them.

Also, they aren't yet in breach, yet, right? The phone hasn't been out two months.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
their typical canned response is they release within 60-90 days of device release. We're over 60 and approaching 90 for the Rogers phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Considering AT&T had HTC lock down the bootloader, I'm sure they have also asked them to hold out on releasing source for as long as they possibly can. That is the only explanation I can think of.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
If AT&T was controlling it, then explain why the source for the SGS III is out already.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
That is my guess as well.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Edit: SGS3 isn't an AT&T exclusive...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
AT&T is only one carrier selling the phone and the GPL is international, not just a US thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Well, who else has the XL? Rogers, Telus, and Telstra? Their combined market cap is less than 1/10 of AT&T's...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
My guess has been they don't want to give Apple any ammo to fight them with. So they're holding out as long as possible.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
that doesn't matter. AT&T is not in control of enforcement of GPL. They don't own the code in question. AT&t isn't the culprit here I'm sure of it.

Samsung has always been much faster with source code release.

Yeah AT&T is an evil greedy company who doesn't give 2 ****s about their customers, but I'm not blaming them for this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
I do blame them for the BL being locked while Sammy doesn't care. HTC needs ATT more than ATT needs HTC. Samsung I'm not so sure it works that way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Well, we're all just speculating here. I'm just saying... AT&T is the only carrier to have them lock the BL ... and they've got the weight to lean on HTC to hold the source as long as possible.

Samsung has leverage HTC does not, as the Galaxy line is in enough demand that they don't need to give in to these kinds of requests.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Okay. I was going to open a new thread about this. But this is easier. Plus no new crazy thread. Subjects would be the same.

I do have a lawyer already on this. You can pm me for stuff if you want it I don't want to get his offices flooded. He wrote a lot of the commerce laws and sales laws the state of California follows today. He's also on the commerce board here in California.

The reason why my lawyer is on this is because of AT&T and their crap between a supervisor/manager and I.

Through a discovery phase;

HTC and AT&T know and are working on the SIM card issue. Yellow screen LCD display (sharps fault). The phone is Gorilla Glass. Not gorilla glass 2. And source will be released 4th of July weekend.

There's little bits of info I know that's proprietary which I can't publically post but is nice to know. Such as a device refresh time with AT&T on the one X**. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Source hold up is caused by Samsung and HTC, not AT&T and HTC. It deals with an agreement they have concerning memory/ram components.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Interesting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Whenever there is a discussion about source being released someone always says they're talking to a friend who's a lawyer and I always laugh a little inside.

This time seems to be different and I hope so, but when is July 4th weekend? This weekend or the next?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Its next Wednesday. But the second is a Monday.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
I got really pissed and sent them this, I believe it is my 7th "comment" to them. I would have made it longer but I ran out of charachters. Does anyone know where I can talk to someone from HTC directly? I need to vent and/or use some choice words.

Anyway, here is the "comment"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Only problem is that the One XL was released more than two months ago.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
May 6 -> June 6

June 6 -> June 29

Unless you are talking about the international versions
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The Rogers version has been out for about 70 days.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Oh okay my bad.

Well anyway, the rest still applies.

I need to make a spam bot. Nao.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Do all of the One X's have the sim card issue? I've had the phone a Month now and never came across the issue...(knock on wood) lol. Sorry gunny for hijacking your thread but I've seen folks talk about this and was just wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Evo LTE has source and it was released well after the ONE x.. That kinda sways towards ATT and not HTC as the culprit.. Otherwise they wouldn't have released the EVO source so quick right?.. It was out only a few weeks maybe a month and got source :(

One S has it also
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
I've had mine since launch day and not had the issue. No connectivity issues, yellow screen, squishy screen, etc

In fact, my One X hasnt had any issues since day one. I guess I'm just lucky.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
i dont even know what the sim card issue is.. What is it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
That throws my Apple idea out the window. HTCdev site is so screwed anyways. They have phones listed under Cingular
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Sigh, more rumor mill.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
My question is just WHY? Why the HoX? Why our HoX? Locked BL, no source, they are really trying hard to kill development for this particular phone for some reason. This could have been one of the best phones of all time.... (With proper development.) Just take a look at the EVO thread, TONS of development going on over there. all the cool mods (vol rocker wake for ex.) All the roms you will ever need by some of the biggest in the game.. and its the same phone. Whatever the reason is, it make me :( :confused: :crying::mad::rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
ATT is behind all of this. HTC releases other kernel source in a timely manner. Other phones get bl unlock quickly. ATT is the customer. These are ATT issues. The kernel source will be released. It might not be until September, but it will be released.

I am pretty sure we can't sue anyway because we are not the copyright holders on the software that the gpl addresses. If we could get one of them on board, it would help a lot more.

Leaving ATT as soon as Sprint has their all new network up and running to some degree! Can't wait. Done with ATT's games. No sd card? Thanks a lot ATT. No bl unlock, thanks ATT. No kernel source, thanks again ATT!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
At&t has NOTHING to do with this....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iamlilysdad:
Yeah they do. They chose to keep the design the same as the international version.

Sprint chose different. They wanted an SD card slot. They told HTC, and HTC obliged.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Then who? ATT orders the phone to their specs. ATT is the customer. Why is this hard to understand? How does Sprints version of the same phone have one? Because they ordered it with one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elomire:
How is it AT&T's fault that the EVO 4G LTE and the One S (T-mobile) also don't have source released? For those who think they have source, perhaps go to their forums or HTCDev and see that they obviously don't. This is on HTC.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irishman06:
Had a sprint HTC hero back when, and they took forever with source as well. I'm used to it, this phone rocks unlike that one, so I can wait... :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kujila:
HTC is always slooooow

Come on guys! Need that source! :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Toaster Strudels:
PLEASE. Come out this weekend.

I hope it really does come out on July 4th weekend!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:
Time for torches and pitchforks guys. Besides wifi hotspot..... at this point nothing else on MIUI, AOKP, or CM9 can be fixed without kernel source.

Everyone is on hold.

I figured there would already be a massive thread on this, since so many users were going crazy about the boot loader.

Let's get this ball rolling.....gunnyman, fire up the petitions ;-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I've been spamming (and consequently been flamed) HTC's Facebook page constantly. It's getting ridiculous.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:

I send a request for source once a week. I get the same canned response once a week.

Shawshank Redemption, much? ;)

I might have to join your effort, there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
hahah ya gunny , just tell them you dont give a damn about their source , that will get em to release it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
So what's everyone's educated guess on why this is happening? why does it feel like the manufacturer and/or carrier is making things xtra hard for the hox. Does the carrier even have any say over kernel source? If no and it's just HTC then why does Evo and one s and Tegra one x all have source? If its AT&T giving the hox such a hard time then why let the Samsung off the hook so easy? Are things like unlocked bootloaders and source actually part of the original deals between manufacturers and carriers? I just can't figure it out..none of it makes a lot of sense to me.... Especially when compared to other devices recenty released...:confused::mad::crying:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
At&t does like to have as much control as possible. They can't dictate too much to Samsung, because Sammy has a growing market share and is just about all the rage right now. They do, however, have much more control over HTC, who has seen sales slip for a few years now. HTC needs their devices subsidized on At&t, while At&t needs Samsung devices.

Just my .02
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] firmbiz94:
What makes u think the EVO has source released? Afaik we r in the same boat as you..I believe the one s is the only one
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
My mistake. Thought y'all had some kernel development goin on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SirFork:
Because with the proper modifications of the kernel source, the phone can actually divide by zero; rendering unforseen consequences to the space-time continuum. Quantum physicists are studying this before releasing the source to the public.

...That or HTC is still burrowing deeper into AT&T's corporate anus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] firmbiz94:
Yea we cannot wait for kernel source over on the EVO forums either..I came over here to see what u guys had going on..we are pretty much at a stand still until the release
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I send a new request for source every week.

I suggest all your Devs do the same
