I don't like "mix & match" in general haha But, this one is actually looks hella nice when it's covered with the white cover. :good::good::good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
it looks good, but the biggest problem is that if you put it in pair of jeans, the cover will stain.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dakunclear:
I find this funny cause before I saw this on here I bought the white flip cover for my blue s3 and it looked sexy
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ejatds:
i tried out the white back cover with my blue s3 for a couple weeks, but the white just looked too odd with the blue 'rim'/bezel surrounding the outside of the phone. i wish they kept that part silver like it is on the white version, or dark grey (similar to red gs3). it would have looked a lot cooler imo
[Galaxy S III Accessories] willham:
Where can I buy legit flip covers? I tried amazon but all the reviews said they were knock offs.

If your in the us try best buy if your in Canada try best buy our future shop or memory express

[General Questions and Answers] mrtomhill:
The samsung galaxy ace 2 VS the samsung galaxy w.

These two very similar phones are driving me insane, I can't choose between them, so I could really do with some help.

Part of it comes down to lower power duelcore vs more powerful single core.

But there is also NFC capability, and how all this effects the battery?

Is powering two cores worse for the battery than powering one huge one? ram is also a concern, average vs better than? is trading processor for ram ok, how will that effect the experience?

The prices I can get them for ace 2 £220 (this price does not include unlocking it) http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_ACE_2/PPAY/NEW

galaxy w £230 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-I8150-Galaxy-Free-Smartphone/dp/tech-data/B005HBKGXS Help me android community, you're my only hope.

[General Questions and Answers] vx117:
I've personally had the galaxy w/exhibit ii and loved it. It was fast and zippy and the screen was amazing. I think it came with a single core 1.0 GHz processor and 512 mb of RAM, so it was pretty fast specs wise. There is also a sizable amount of development for it as well. Also $200 for a phone this powerful was well worth it.

I don't know much about the galaxy ace 2, but I can personally vouched for the galaxy w.
[General Questions and Answers] ialazmi:
Ace2 better than w
[General Questions and Answers] Elwino2.3:
I think Samsung galaxy w better, because the CPU Clock is 1,4 GHz and Ace 2 is only 800MHz. These both is NOT UPGRADEABLE TO ICS :P.

Ace 2 has 800 MHz DUAL CORE
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
Hey guys my prime does the oddest stuff to my external drives. Both slots the micro and normal ones after a few days of use it will start changing the file names to weird as shown in the picture.

I have tried multiple cards and different devices but only happens on the prime. View attachment 1162578

The files on the top were videos and now are undelete able files and the only way to delete is to reformat
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
No one else gets this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
Seriously my sd card problem are all but good!

If i format to ntfs it shows the files for a moment and they vanish. If i put it the dock it shows up. Then after afew days moving files around it starts saying cannot copy. Then i have reformat again. I have tried multiple cards but the same issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
figured out that the prime only likes certain sd cards and not the 2 32gb cards I have one by PNY and another from wintec.

Put in a 2gb kingstone and its fine now.

What kills me is that other Android devices use them with no issues

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] DQiB:
first, wrong section

trx it with a update.zip root package via stock recovery to get root.

cause your problem is the firmware u wanr to root!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gluove:
But my phone have no recovery. I bought it few days ago and I get it with 2.3.6 by default. what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] DQiB:
it has one, a stock samsung one,

which makes hlupdate.zip's aviable
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] KoperKiller:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gluove:
how can I get that recovery?

i tried with pressing some buttons but cant get it in

press and hold volume up AND home button, while pressing buttons turn the phone on :) and apply update.zip from menu

Any ideas/rumors for when Rogers is going to send out the official ICS?

Still waiting...

I would love to use a unofficial ICS, but the XT910 is my first android phone (came from BB) and i don't really understand how to do all that stuff... i would need a really simple instructions to do it lol. still a noob

It's out actually. Take a closer look in dev section.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] manny315:
but thats not OTA you have to root and im way too big of a noob to do that.

I wish it would just pop up on my phone and I could install it like the noob that I am... I said noob
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danifunker:
No that isn't true. Please reread the thread. All you have to do is to download the zip file and place it on an external sdcard, then reboot the phone, during boot, hold Vol + and Vol-, then choose recovery. The system will boot in recovery mode, it will take a little while to boot. Once booted, you will probably see some kind of Android image. At this point, press Vol + and Vol- and choose the update option. Locate the file on your external sdcard and wait. The whole process shouldn't take more than 20 min, but I haven't done it on a RAZR before. Good luck!

Finally just keep in mind that this is a leaked version, so we aren't sure if this is the final version, technically out could take you of the upgrade path, until someone verifies this is final.

Good luck!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
This is not necessarily going to work. I have noticed that side-loading ICS updates from stock GB like that can lead to errors. That is why we he have this 100% working rooting way.

On the XT912 the way I get people on ICS in my utility is flashing GB 2.3.6 fastboot files, then ICS recovery which I pulled with DD after flashing it myself. This why when they side-load it they will never error, and requires no rooting.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danifunker:
I side loaded my ICS upgrade (leak) without issue. I think our only matters when your rooted and forgot about whatever changes you made to your system. If the OP is new to this stuff, I doubt they has made any system changes and could always just try the method I posted above. If the upgrade doesn't go through out would just fail at the verification phase and they world still be able to go back normally onto gingerbread and would still have the option to wait for the official OTA.

I have the fido XT910 i downloaded the fido version of this file. Will try side loading bcaz my laptop crased last night,not rooted got my razr last week have worked eith moto b4 when i had my atrix from bell prior to the Razr ....hope i dont fxck up
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
Side loaded and running smoothly would post it in the fido section but it says i dont have rights to do it all i did was us the my files app and transfered it to the sd card root rebooted and left it to do its things my phone was never rooted so maybe thats why i had no issues ICS is EPIC!!!! On the RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
No need to be rooted to install the leak and the leak is the real deal. Been running it since yesterday, beautiful
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
I just couldnt wait for fido anymore
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
So if this would take me off the official update path, would there be a way to get back after? If of course the leaked version is not the final... if there is a way then I will do it tomorrow for sure! Still want the official OTA when it comes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
Wait I just reread that post and its talking about being rooted... my phone is not??

Edit: sorry just reread everything and I will try to side load the leak tomorrow, thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
Did you just put the file anywhere on you SD card? Or is there a specific place?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
When i downloaded it it went to my downloads folder from there i went into my files app moved it from there to the sd card not in any folder.do it as you were if u were to put a rom on the sd to flash
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
Thanks! But I have never done that :o

So I have the file as you say and ready to go, but is there a way to get back on the official OTA release? My guess would be to side loan the right GB version...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
That i am not sure of but i would assumed so though
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
Just make sure that the file when transferred to the external sd it is not in a folder
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
Ok... so i have everything setup and ready to side load the leak BUT... not sure yet if i want to get off the upgrade path. Does anyone have any news about the official OTA? I could still wait a little while, few weeks maybe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danifunker:
My opinion? Just wait until it's confirmed... It probably will be confirmed in the next week. If not before the end of today, probably by the end of next week.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jermzrdc:
Was the leak not offered to specific ppl by Motorola & Carries? And if so wouldn't they allow the leaked version to be update if there were to be a change for the final? This is a question not stating anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] piyush.waghwani:
Thank you Thank you Thank you

Unfortunately I don’t have a Rogers RAZR to test these instructions with. With some luck the firmware team will get us the new SBF, so it will be much easier to upgrade. In the meantime, please re-read this entire post twice to verify you fully understand how the process works (basically it downgrades your phone to gingerbread, except for the boot partition which is the current OTA version, then attempts to patch the phone with the official OTA package). I have done this method a number of times on my Verizon branded Droid 4 (which I’m using on Rogers Canada), so it should be fine on your RAZR.

Let me know what happens either way.

Any testers?[/QUOTE]

I did it. Worked just fine.

I already had a Rogers firmware on the phone. I was selling it to someone and did a factory reset. After that, my phone was stuck on welcome screen. It wont let me click start and keep saying "Unfortunately, the setup has stopped" click Ok and again goes into the same loop. Thankfully you can access the settings and thats how i enabled the developer mode and followed the steps and successfully installed the ICS firmware on the phone. Thank you once again.

I have Windows 8 and trying run as administrator dint work for me. I did it without administrator. :)

yoohoo! You guys Rock!!

Regards,

Piyush
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
little Rogers bird told me it's going to be July 26th. Fido too.

take that with a slab of salt.

(Roger tech just installed new netbox at my place, he got a RAZR too. explained how Maxx doesn't work for Canadian GSM, and our XT910 doesn't have LTE chip n stuff, and how ICS is rumoured internally to be pushed OTA on July 26th...)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ravi Shanghavi:
Argh. Wish I'd read this thread.. rooted first then loaded the ICS rom. Would have much preferred to have not Rooted. I just don't trust it. I've done it for years but with all the stuff that goes on and lack of oversight with relation to these apps it's quite worrisome.

Had to use Motofail to root, while I can probably find a way to unroot.. would still prefer not to.

Is there a way to install the rom overtop of this and lose root? I'd like to effectively have a clean carrier OS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Just install the ICS update file like you were coming from GB. Should overwrite anything put into place by the rooting process.

I wouldn't worry about rooting though, the process it self is to take ownership of all of the files on the phone. It's basically just altering the permissions. If anything ran on your phone that would be harmful, the Superuser app would notify you before the changes are made. Phones are un-rooted to give the user a blanket of protection against these harmful apps. The only negative thing I've seen from rooting is the inability to play videos from Google videos (or whatever that app is called)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LukasProtos:
Help...so i hold down both buttons when i turn on the phone..but it just loads back to the regular phone..no recovery options or anything. If anything it just loaded up in safe mode. please help

Ignore this post. I should have read the previous posting.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

I rebooted my phone as suggested and selected Recovery from the menu. Now my phone is stuck with an exclamation point in a triangle and an Android icon. It's been sitting this way for about 10 minutes. The buttons are unresponsive.

Did I just brick my phone? If so, is there a way to fix it? Please help. Thanks

Sorry again. I guess I'm panicking for nothing. I messed with the buttons and got the phone to respond. The update is being applied. I'll cross my fingers and be more patient next time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danifunker:
Try to hold VOL+ and VOL- before powering on, then power on the phone while holding the buttons. A menu should appear, choose recovery... etc

I'm not sure where you got to the point of file system read-only.

I also have made a video how to boot into recovery on my old XT860, but it doesn't have an SD card (as well, there are no updates for the phone) so it only shows getting into the recovery mode and the point where you can select a file. http://youtu.be/k0bhb2xSCHg

Good luck!

After the above poster edited their symptom...

Just press VOL+ and VOL- right now. Then you will get a new menu where you can select "apply update from sdcard"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] awhite2600:
Thanks danifunker. I managed to get the phone to boot into recovery mode. It then appeared to freeze but eventually gave me the option to install the update packed from the external SD card. So far so good. I guess I'll know in a little while if it's successful.

The read-only file system problem occurred when I tried to root the phone and install the update that way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MHFixxxer:
ICS Leak

Q: has anyone been able to confirm or deny if loading this update will mess up future OTA updates?

Q: is there a guide explaining how to 'downgrade' back to stock gingerbread? (to get back on the OTA Update path) from what i have read/understand you cannot simply install the stock fastboot file as ICS has a different bootloader and doing so will result in a bricked phone.

a previous poster did make a valid point: if this is a soak test you would think it would continue to get OTA updates :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
Bump! Anyone here anything about the OTA for the Canadian RAZR, I know that Motorola says Q3... anything?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
the leak is official. dont wait. update.

never ever wait for Rogers to do anything :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Been running this leak for almost a month now, not a single bug.

This is the OTA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MHFixxxer:
rsdlite

i would assume that if one wanted to get back onto the upgrade path you would just have to wait for the RSD lite file to hit the internet, and then use RSDlite to load the file.

right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Matt8296:
If that leak was the OTA what the hell are they waiting for then!!!! What about all the bugs that have been posted?? Are they fixed?? And what if its not the real OTA and we can get back on the upgrade path??

This is my first android phone, I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to rooting... maybe I'm a little chicken to try but this is my maim phone and don't want it to get F'd up lol.

What I really would like to know is if someone out there knows anything about the actual OTA upgrade to ICS from Rogers... anybody?!?!?:banghead:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
1. No idea, it's Rogers always the last to get OTAs. Most likely have a tiny staff of developers

2. There's not a single post about bugs in this thread so I've got no idea what you're talking about

3. There are no bugs...

4. I doubt it will take you off the upgrade path, the update checker will find the difference in versions and notify you of the difference. Even if it doesn't someone here will post the update.zip once it's released and you'll be running the OTA

5. None of this requires rooting. Download the update --> Boot into recovery --> Update from SDcard --> done

6. Q3 is what Motorola is saying. Rogers will never comment on when it will hit
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
once an OTA (or any kind of dev file for that matter) is done, its gonna sit in QA desk for some time before it can get legally published to consumers. thats what holding them back.

bugs i saw are verizon stuff. i dont have any bugs other than Flash doesn't work. but thats an adobe thing.

if its not the real OTA and Rogers release an OTA, just re-RSDLite the Rogers fastboot file. u will need to reset everything though. or wait until the real OTA arrives in XDA and flash it manually.

if ur that chicken to jump on something "leaked", thenby all means, wait for the official OTA. at this point, nobody even heard of it. from what i know, it'll be another month or so at least. once somebody knows about the actual OTA, then it'll get posted here in XDA. stop reviving ur old thread and just visit the forum every other day. just a friendly suggestion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therm0:
Word today that Rogers/Motorola are rolling out ICS to what appears to be select users. Anyone here had any luck getting the update? It's a different version from the leaked version from 2 months ago. Can someone post the update.zip file?

The version info: 672.180.352.XT910.Rogers.CA revision 02. Screenshots and news are at MobileSyrup (I can't post links yet).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cancel357:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crimson13:
No one's posted an update.zip yet :-/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech guy 88:
so for us impatient people who are running 310 how do we go about applying this update (once we get the zip)? Can we just load to sim and then boot into update or do we need to do extra work.

I am not super concerned as this build of ICS has been awesome for me but I always like new stuff....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therm0:
I'm not an expert on this stuff, but my understanding is that the update package is specifically signed to the 3331 version of Gingerbread and won't install on the 310 build of ICS. Someone will have to make a fastboot image of the new ICS build and you'll have to flash that instead of using the update.zip. I'm not completely sure on this however, but this is how I understand it.
