[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
The GNex is a great deal right now. I'm debating getting it as well, but am trying to hold off to see what the Nexus line is going to be like this year. The price will either stay steady, or continue to go down, so there is no drawback to waiting (unless you wait until a point where it's no longer made and out of stock, that is).

The only real drawbacks are it's last years Nexus, with new models a few months away, and the lack of SD card expansion (Google seems to have done away with that on their developer phones, but we'll see if that continues with the next series of Nexus phones).

However, it's guaranteed to get Jellybean (next month, confirmed), and will most likely get next year's update as well.

BTW, I'm only talking about the GSM GNexus. I don't even consider the Verizon version a Nexus device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
Well I thought about the Gnex for a while and decided that I wouldn't ever get it. I mean sure its got the curved and high resolution display, but its lacking key features like a micro SD card. And in actuality it will be more expensive for me to get the Gnex. So...I'm most likely going to go with the Galaxy S III but thanks for the suggestions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
What's different with the Verizon Gnex?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
I for one am going to wait til sept-oct too see the note 2 with a 5.5 screen. Which is also around the iphone 5 is set to release which will also means other goodies samsung and other companies will release to go head to head with it. I see no real reason to upgrade now and then want to upgrade again in just a few months, that's unless you have the money to burn like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Simply put, Verizon got their dirty paws on it. Came without Wallet (although it was able to be sideloaded), had some Verizon bloatware, and updates have been a nightmare for users (took months after ICS updates were released for Verizon GNex users to receive them). In fact, Google has since dropped support for it as a Nexus device (CDMA is a dead technology).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoutamis:
Verizon put bloatware on the Gnex?! That's crazy -.-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rob4828:
So the Verizon nexus didn't get 4.1?

EasyWP7Updater

Hello hackers!

Earlier today I started working on a project that should make updating Windows Phones via cabs easier. It's called EasyWP7Updater. Currently only manual cab sending is enabled, you can grab cabs from the official update list thread or if you have a custom rom, your rom author might offer customization cabs.

Downloads: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/downloads

Bug Reports and Feature Requests: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/issues

Source code: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/tree/

Future homepage: http://jessenic.github.com/EasyWP7Updater/

Please test and report all bugs you might find either responding to this thread or by posting them on the Issues page on Github. Feature requests are also welcome.

In the future I'll allow ROM builders to add cabs in the app, stay tuned!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
I'll definitely hop on board to help =)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Useless guy:
What the difference between xboxmod's cab sender and your?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
will this app relock the phone when after updated?

xmod cab sender has this problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Really, @Magpir?!? That's just a matter of the CAB itself. It has nothing to do with the CAB sender. You'd get the same behavior if you update manually using any CAB sender, or if you update using the official Zune mechanism. It's already known what causes the re-lock (the "prevent relock" registry values that normally have the MS server where you phone checks its expected lock setting are restored by this update). It's also known how to avoid the problem (http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...date_be_forewarned_possible_solution-06-28-12).

@jessenic: Nice project! Are you planning to include "fake an update just to take a backup" as a feature? It would be nice to narrow down the number of apps needed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
Possible in the future, it's open source so you could start working on that too :)

At the moment there is no big difference, but in the future my app will let you download cabs from ms servers in a simple way too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
Just tried it, and it works fantastic! Although, similar to other senders, this one should be easy and familiar to those who do not hack much. This makes it much simpler.

Since it's open source, are you allowing people to include it in other archives? I've downloaded and compressed the updates, added cab sender, then uploaded it for easy installation. Can I do that with this if I give you credit?

Thanks for your hard work. Great Job!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
We are adding automatic download for all OS versions, it detects the one on phone and shows latest versions and tells the user how to check which language packs are installed. That's the plan at least.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
That's even better, thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
It solely depends on how ROM packages are built. Have you noticed "Shadows" tab in DSM editor? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] starxonline:
What the heck is this?

Maybe my brain is still asleep but how the hell do you execute this? There is no file to run it. All I'm seeing is uncompiled VB files.

!update!

Wow what a bad setup on the download page. So I guess I had to source download but still it's pretty confusing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Er....

Downloads: https://github.com/jessenic/EasyWP7Updater/downloads <--- going to this leads you to the actual download of the Zip file. How is this confusing?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] emjlr3:
sweet deal

worked well enough, and was easy to boot

just some quirky things with the play by play:

why have it denote the same % over and over? this entire process does not take all that long, waiting for the next percent doesn't take so long that we really need to know its still at 0%. I imagine its to let us know that things are still rolling, but seriously, if it sits for a minute or two and hasn't ticked over to the next percent, obviously something is wrong

where exactly did the backup I made end up?

the "installing updates..........." message didn't display until after the updates had actually been installed

and it finished with

seems like a success to me, not an error
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
Yeah that part needs some fixing. Its already on my todo-list.

Edit: Oh and the backup is in the default Zune backup folder, you can restore it with Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] NairobiWP:
This is an awesome tool. Thank you very much for making the update process painless.

My one suggestion would be to add a progress bar so the user can how many more steps the software has to go through.

Thanks again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
I attached the download file as GitHub is deprecating it's downloads section.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] konker:
This is a really useful tool!

This is a really useful tool!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SlasheI2:
I just flashed AOKP the other night and realized that I don't really like the AOSP camera and how it can't save any pictures or videos to the external SD card.

does anyone know how to get the stock samsung ICS camera running on AOKP? my internal SD really isn't large enough for the random pictures and videos that I take so I would really like to have the option to save to my external SD.

oh and for some reason I can't save google music onto my phone for offline use. I think it's because AOKP has a weird file structure where the internal is now called emmc and when the "SD card" folder used to be internal is now the external. Does anyone have a fix for this?

any help will be really appreciated.

thanks!

Everytime restart it boots into recovery first

Applied the csc-code 'xfx'

Successfully applied mult-csc

And it won't start until i hit the reboot on recovery.

I want to flash ICS, but dont want to risk bricking in recovery

Any ideas on fixing this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
are you still on GB? you can flash ICS stock roms via PC Odin. and if you want custom roms, since you are still on GB you can safely do so using CWM. install abyssnote42 kernel for good measure.

the instructions are usually spelled-out for you right on the first page of whatever ROM you wish to install.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
Hi, lately I use alot of GPS with Waze app (delivery), and my battery drops pretty fast.

I wanted to know if there's a way to allocate all the phone's resources to Waze,

like closing everything else in the background, especially data transfer.

I would simply turn off the 3g and save alot of battery, but Waze needs it to find addresses.

I use stock 4.0.4, unlocked but not rooted. anyone have a creative idea what can help me?

Thanks :cowboy:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellar:
Maybe Watchdog can help, I believe its used to set a limit on CPU usage from certain apps. Maybe you could limit everything else's cpu usage except waze?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
but then I'll probably need in each time to set the cpu usage app by app no?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Buy a car charger. Problem solved.

Really nothing is going to help you save battery with a app that does all this. Screen on/gps/network usage for traffic maps etc.

Only battery saving tips is really turn off the screen or use a lower brightness setting while you do use it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
Can't use a charger cause I work in food delivery (with a scooter) :p

But yea I figured there's no other solution for that.

It's just I see apps like whatsapp and other games keeps popping out messages and notifications while my battery already draining from the GPS, and I know they run in the background and drains battery too. So I thought perhaps there's a way to close all apps except Waze, but I guess there isn't.

[Kindle Fire General] kitsunisan:
Read a couple of articles on it but haven't seen any mention of micro sd cards. Does this thing have expandable storage?
[Kindle Fire General] ksimilie:
it doesnt
[Kindle Fire General] kitsunisan:
That makes no sense at all. And $50 for another 8gb of memory?
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
It makes sense though. If they had included a microsd, would anyone buy the 16gb version? Nope.

Sent from a thingymajig that sends things.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
First off,

Congrats GOOG, looks like we have a great (and affordable) tablet to play with! Some of the issues like missing SD, HDMI (has this been confirmed?) are really no big deal for me, 16GIG is huge, cheap storage is really spoiling us :p

Second,

I haven't used an Android product yet (this will be my first), moved from my amazing Motorola E6 (it was Linux/EZX based, a rooted device ran most linux ported apps for EZX, xmms baby) to the slick Nokia E71, and to Apple (currently on 4S). I have always known that Android is the way, but didn't move (too many choices in hardware?)

Ques 1) Will all Android market place apps work on the Nexus Tablet? I have seen some power apps (incredibly we have Total Commander port for android, Christian rocks, waiting for Alex to release DC port now)

Ques 2) How well do android spread sheet applications work on Tablets? Has anyone really stress tested complex excel / open office functions on Tablets? How will a spreadsheet feel on a 7 inch? Can I open Spreadsheets from email, edit, save a copy and send back on the fly?

Ques 3) Do you guys login in to remote VNC sessions using your tablet? What has been your experience on Android tablets? Is it smooth? My wife uses an iPad, and we use that to remote control a laptop connected to our LCD, I hate the experience

Ques 4) I intend to use this tablet for a lot of reading (black background, grey text), will Nexus 7 have any application that could render PDF text having unicode UTF-8 fonts + ability to reflow the text so that it fits the page width? I haven't seen any such application in the Apple iOS space, but incredibly Adobe did this on Symbian (UTF-8 with text reflow).

Quest 5) How do Android tablets fair in terms of productivity tools? (PIM, Task Management, Email, Reminders)

... I actually have a bunch of more questions, but I guess I will have to hold until we get more reviews of the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
Oops... I didn't realize my Sony T1 reader is an Android device. So this makes Nexus 7 my second, my bad.

Besides, *bump* :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyleNSkillz:
2) In my experience the basic excel functions work (sum, avg, etc.) I have had trouble with some of the more technical ones, and IIf statements do not work at all.

3) If you are talking about remote desktop...it still sucks.

5) I like android for productivity there are lots of apps and widgets, and they claim there is even newer and better stuff in 4.1 that this tablet will take advantage of.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Welcome to Android! Unfortunately I'm new to the tablet space, but I can answer your first question.

1) Android apps were made to be versatile. Well coded apps (key word there), will usually scale correctly according to what screen size you have. So a dev who makes a good phone app, should have it scale to a tablet screen.

Unfortunately, the lack of Android tablet success has led to a lack of "tablet specific" layouts for apps. So tablet users tend to have blown up versions of phone apps instead of UI's that take advantage of the extra real estate. But I think the success of the Nexus 7 might change a few developers minds.....

Edit- So just to clarify, most market apps will work on both phones and tablets. Unfortunately the wide variety of devices out there means you are much more likely to get occasional compatibility issues. Just a sacrifice you have to make for all the choice Android offers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
Actually if N7 can do Google docs without the horrible text box (save / cancel) rendering for individual cell edits, I would be very comfortable. Google docs is fully portable with my Open Office (Libre Office) sheets.

Nope, VNC as in running a TighVNC server on Windows/Linux and accessing it using a VNC client from the tablet. I am worried now, with my wife's iPad, I at-least get real estate to vent my frustration on, with 7 inch I may need a wall next to me (to bang my head on) :p

Can you please name a few of tablets?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
Thanks mate - I think 4s is my last apple device, I am moving.

But too many hardware options with Android - none perfect, I wonder why GOOG bought Motorola Mobility :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
I took the Samsung Tab for a spin yesterday, not bad at all (the slate with all those ports missing in N7 making users drool over it, it's nice. I installed a couple of applications from the market (TC for one), very smooth indeed. Thanks for confirming this. I hope I will need very little applications besides the stock applications on the tablet.

I tried this as well yesterday on the Samsung tab - I tried the Acer 7 tab as well, but I think it was a old android version (HC). Polaris Office Spreadsheet may fit my needs - but really need to spend an hour or 2 to really know if it gets the job done.

If anybody has used a PDF reader which does UTF8 + text re-flow + font adjust, please let me know - this would be killer feature for me if it works.

Looks like K9 could be my email solution - has anybody ported mutt to android yet? :)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
if screens can help you decide - though from all the roms available i have to say go for aokp - best one out there - its a blast on my gnex and i run it solely on my tf300 - though i tried cyanogen and it had alot of issues.

its mostly stock ics with some tweaks for convenience (also you have a dedicated aokp rom settings menu where you can control the tweaks they added without searing in submenues)

i run adw launcher ex (so pardon the non stock look) but in the the menu bar you see the tweaks that can make life that much easier. everything else is mostly vanilla ics 4.0.4

I currently have the skyrocket but have a chance to get the Samsung galaxy nexus. I live in Oregon so no LTE. I need a second opinion which is better for games picture taking and mainly overall performance. Would really love some input I'm stuck in between.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Gnex camera is bad apparently.

Both phones are powerful, very very powerful. If you're comfortable rooting it honestly doesn't make much of a difference and I'd go with the Skyrocket since out of three things you mention picture is one of them and I've heard complaints about Gnex camera.

Without the LTE its a bit disappointing though. In all honesty you're choosing between two high end android devices, you'll be perfectly satisfied with either. Given the fact you're on XDA you must be some what of a techie, so maybe GNex is your best bet. Try out the camera first though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmfpkendrick21:
Yep there is a white nexus.. its not on Google's site idk y. But tried camera and love it so far thinks its better then skyrocket to be honest I couldn't get good pics with SR
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Yeah. It has a glossy finish which is why I prefer the titanium one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lnfound:
Really depends on what your priority is. If you're in an LTE market, Skyrocket seems to be a better choice. As a SR owner I'm considering selling and moving to a Nexus. If you need your phone unlocked than consider a plus for Nexus since you'll save $20 there. As others have mentioned look into the camera, I however use mine once a month if that.

I guess biggest part is how much Dev support you need. Nexus will keep you flashing everyday of you so choose. SR options are a bit limited but those who have worked on it have done a fantastic job.

Is there a way to create my own Ringback tone that plays in place of the normal ring ring ring people get when calling you.

The media i want in place of it is "The Mental Health Hotline " LOL if you've never herd this before check it out it's funny as hell.Verizon has a few versions of it but they all have music n techno to it and it drowns out the message.Oh one more thing the fullest version i can find is 46 sec long and ends with the "If you have low self esteem hangup all our operators are to busy to listen to you..........:laugh:
