[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k19wm:
Well there must be a difference between stock screen and Chinese screen .... They look the same feel the same but Chinese one will have pink shade/tint as soon as you go past GB ... Different kernel will have different saturation of tint .....

I have two notes at home one is mine one is wife's , we run same roms I usually update mine first play with the new ROM and then install it on her phone .... Right now we are on cyanogemod 4.2.1 and kernel 3.0.31-cm ... Mine is fine , hers is pink .....

The only kernel that came close to being white was thor .... But it was bad for many reasons ...

So is there any official word of Nexus phones coming out for T-Mobile? And if so, which would be a better investment: GS3 or Nexus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] belly1026:
Why do you need a T-Mobile Nexus when you can get an unlocked Nexus from the play store?

I personally don't like the Nexus due to the lack of MicroSD slot, but Nexus phones are always the first to get the latest version of Android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diqsa:
sorry im a noob, but what do you mean you can get an unlocked Nexus from the play store?

the nexus physically looks nicer i think lol. but why do they always get the latest versions first instead of the mass produced Galaxy series phones? i dont understand why JellyBean's first release isn't available even on the SGS3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snguyen0730:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Product F(RED):
The Galaxy Nexus is pentaband and works with both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G/4G (HSPA+, not LTE) in the US, and in most countries. It's $349 before tax: https://play.google.com/store/devic...XZpY2VzX1VTX18xX3Byb21vXzEzNDA1MTg5NjUwMzYiXQ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vzqsmooth56:
Seeing that the galaxy nexus was just ban from the USA due to a court ruling on Apple setting the Samsung infringes some of its patents, i don't see this happening in a long time. If you want a galaxy nexus i suggest you buy now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
1. Any overclockable kernels for this OS?

2. Which is better, Nova Launcher Prime or Apex Launcher Pro?

3. Are the 3rd party launchers going to give the same "100% no lag" experience as the stock launcher?

4. What resolution will I effectively be in if I set my dpi to 240 and I get rid of the nav bar?

Reason I am asking is because I don't want to drop money onto an app if I don't know exactly what I will be getting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skillz9669:
1. Any overclockable kernels for this OS?

Not sure off hand

2. Which is better, Nova Launcher Prime or Apex Launcher Pro?

Many people say that apex force closes a lot with jb, Nova runs smooth

3. Are the 3rd party launchers going to give the same "100% no lag" experience as the stock launcher?

I have not noticed any difference using different launchers so I don't think it's the launcher they sped up, its more of a system overhaul.

Reason I am asking is because I don't want to drop money onto an app if I don't know exactly what I will be getting.

and by all means try the free versions first, the prime and pro are not any "faster", they just have more features :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
1. Franco, that I know of

2. Last I heard, Apex doesn't even work on JB yet, while Nova, which already worked with JB, had an additional preliminary JB update within 24 hours.

3. I have a little bit of lag on Nova(about 10% of what I had on ICS), but 4.1 has only been out for a day. They'll patch it up soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
franco doesn't work. It freezes at the Google logo before the boot animation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
You are 100% incorrect. There is an abundance of people reporting use of Franco on JB all over the forums, complete with screenshots.

"207 is awesome! Glad I made the switch! I added the values posted above before anything. Once rascream JB comes out this phone will untouchable. Nexus phones for life!"

"it works perfectly for me...its like a whole new phone with how smooth and fast it is"

If you don't know something for sure, don't act like you do. Why even bother posting if you're just making things up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattbourge:

Today I realized that the phone don't have any bass response at all when you record a video. You can put the phone right behind the speaker and it won't record any bass... but if you use the voice recording app, it does recognice bass.

[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
for some reason today i started getting random reboots here and there. when i got home i decided to wipe my phone and do a clean install. everything went well, successful wipe and complete flash of the rom, but when it restarted after the flash it was still the same as before. nothing changed, all my apps, wallpaper, settings everything had been untouched. i even did fastboot wipe userdata. it was like i didnt do anything at all. then i tried wiping my internal sd card, same thing successful wipe, but it all comes back again. i did it a couple of times from the phone settings and also from my computer. then i flashed the ruu from the bootloader, everthing flash normal but when it restarted nothing changed. also tried changing my recovery to cwm but that didnt work either. tried flashing the eng bootloader and it said fail-pu.

right now im running energy rom june 19th, 4 ext recovery, joupunutbear 1.93.2222

any help or advise would be great.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
The outlook isn't good, sorry to say that. Most likely, the internal memory chips have failed. Basically, it won't write anymore on it, meaning what you have on it right now may be stuck, permanently. This is because of the "Fail-PU" error. Before doing anything like the wire trick below, try to ensure that the RUU you're trying to flash is a correct one. It would be great if you could get a picture (or describe) what it says when the ruu flash is done. But since you have problems wiping, this may not be the issue. Try the wire trick, as described below with caution.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. I've heard that sometimes if you do the wire trick, it can temporarily fix the error. Heed this.

Do the wire trick on its own, meaning do not connect the phone to a computer, or run the Juopunutbear's S-OFF program, or anything of that nature.

Just do the exact same wire trick (same timing too) you did to obtain s-off,

but without using the s-off program, or plugging it in the computer.

Keep us updated if that trick works for you.

It would also be a good idea to flash a RUU after doing the wire trick

(again, without the s-off program, or plugging it in the computer!!!)

Again, best of luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
this is what came up.

i used this ruu

http://d-h.st/z70
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Have you tried the trick i mentioned earlier and then flashing the RUU?
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
yes, i've tried it a couple of times. ill try again in the morning but i think its a lost cause though. thanks for your help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
theres another thing you could try too.

Boot into fastboot and then type in this command:

fastboot oem boot

Pull out your battery

Put back in.

Flash the RUU
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
no good. i pulled the battery as soon as the htc screen came on and also when the boot animation started. still getting the same results with the ruu.

i noticed this though. isnt it supposed to be bootloader instead of misc?

INFOaARM_Partion[0].name=misc
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot, flash your stock SHP or ENG hboot via fastboot via:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip en_hboot.zip

Place the attached zip of choice be it sh or en in your adb folder and try those commands, let me know your results.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
If he flashes eng hboot, redownloads ruu to ensure good download, and try flashing ruu in bootloader again... I bet it would work
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Actually, I checked it out for my phone with fastboot oem boot too. It lists the partition 0 being the misc partition too. So I think that's fine. My device is fully functional (wipe/flash capabilities included)

*knocks on wood*

so I think that partition is normal.
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
tried both and it gave me this....

C:\adb>fastboot flash zip sh_hboot.zip

sending 'zip' (396 KB)... OKAY [ 0.246s]

writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.563s
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
To be honest I think the emmc chip although it's s-off it thinks its still s-on, my best guess would be to try s-off again, see what happens.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Boot into fastboot, and then type in this command

fastboot oem readsecureflag

This command should return with a value of 0

If not, let us know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
yup thats what i got.

C:\adb>fastboot oem readsecureflag

... INFOsecure_flag: 0

[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
I kinda gave up on the phone. Ill just buy a galaxy nexus by the end of the month. But if there's still any suggestions I can do to try to fix it, I'm willing to do so, just incase it happens to someone else. Thanks for helping.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
You could try to claim warranty, but the thing is, it's already modified so most likely, they won't touch it. A fail-pu error usually means a hardware failure. Most likely, your chip failed and will not write any more.

Another thing you could try to do is brick it, and then claim warranty. You can always say that it turned off and never turned on again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
The warranty is not the same as the tmobile insurence is it? Because I took that off thinking I wouldn't need it. Also stupid question, how would I go about bricking it?lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
HTC usually has warranty too. The thing is, they will most likely refuse it if you have modified the phone.

Bricking can be easy. But, bricking with a Fail-PU error isn't always easy.

PM me later, and I will try to assist you. I'm a bit busy right now so just send me a PM to remind me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] msndroid:
Will do. Thanks I appreciate it

I tried setting an alarm but for some reason it still forces a Google search, despite processing the command correctly. How do I fix this?

Also, Google Now doesn't talk back even though I set everything to US English. It forces a browser search, rather than the built-in in browser like what various videos show.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
I'm having identical issues, although I can get my phone to talk back.

If I ask "Who is the prime minister of Australia" it will talk back the answer to me.

But if I ask it to set a reminder or to send a message it just does a Google search.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] H3g3m0n:
Set the Devices language to "English (United States)", this is in the main settings not the "Google Now" (Settings->Language & input). The other voice/input language options can be whatever you want.

You should be able to tell if it worked as the Google Search should now have mountains as a background rather than being blank, and in the Google Now app's settings the first option should show up as "Google Now" not "Now Cards".

The only problem is now the weather is in Fahrenheit :(

EDIT: This can just be set back in the setting for the Weather card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 843:
It shows the background for a second and it disappears. I was probably redirected to the local Google region-specific site. Is there a setting I can change to make the search engine google.com?

I compared my pebble blue s3 to a store dummy phone and my battery cover was a completely different color. The dummy was lighter and didn't have the blue "chrome" look that my phone has.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Cheapest place to buy via upgrade for Sprint???

I'm looking at Costco and it's currently $199.99 with $25 MIR (Free activation+shipping). The thing I have to consider is that I'm going to be using another phone line to upgrade, then putting it on my line. At some places (Letstalk.com, Amazon.com) they charge a separate ETF if that happens. So far, Bestbuy, Radioshack, and Costco are the only ones that'll allow me to do that with an upgrade ETF free.

Hello!

This week I bought a new Defy+ MB526.

Tried to root it, no success.

After thinking I flashed:

The problem is I have to charge battery

twice

a day! Yesterday I charged it to 100%, and after 7 hours (WiFi on, BT standby, GPS standby, no calls\sms) battery fall to 50%.

I used to have HTC HD2 with CM9, ICS 4.0.4 and battery could last for 2 days before charge needed..

Does anyone have an idea what causing it and what to do?

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btwin:
Sometimes it happens to me a similar problem. Battery get drained within a few hours without any CPU activity. What I can say is that it seems to happen especially in the move while fast hopping from one cell to another. Battery suddenly reaches +40°C which is a good pointer to expect only a few hours of phone activity. As of now I didn't try to reboot the phone, though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehud83:

[HTC Jetstream] guru_shastri:
assuming we could get ics, is updating it to JB a realistic option?
[HTC Jetstream] craig0r:
I'd say so. I see the biggest problem as being that Honeycomb's not open source, so we have the kernel sources for the Jetstream and nothing else. So a lot of the porting process is probably gonna be a guessing game. Once all the "guess work" is done and ICS is running, there won't be much more guessing left to be done for JB, just porting the existing code modifications over to the new OS.

That being said, there's a good chance we'll never see ICS. Yeah, it's being worked on, but on a device that sold so poorly, there aren't nearly as many developers as for, say, the Xoom or Transformer tablets.
