[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
Nice write-up :)

The actual limit of free space for a successful conversion is somewhere at or below 10 MB, IoSconosciuto tested it. The ext4 conversion itself costs you about 4 MB in partition size (not free space, but the result is the same). This means if you convert to ext4 with 10 MB free in /system, the backup and restore will work and you will have 6 MB free after the conversion. Since the partition is ext4 afterwards, that suffices to make and restore later backups.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taxman.:
You are right! In my particular case, the conversion cost me exactly 4,4 MBs.

thank u bro at last im done with it, thank you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Indigoreli:
friends you think AT & T officially actualize

jelly bean or believe that they will have to upgrade

by roms?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
Most of the time AT&T is slow to release updates, they might release a device that uses Jelly Bean but only time will tell.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
No way HTC or ATT release Jelly Bean for our phone. The ONE X might get it if HTC doesn't release another phone in the next couple months.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
and that is cold hard reality
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
Wow lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
meh I'm not ready to give up yet. Maybe our phone wasn't the greatest seller, but it was the HTC flagship before the One X, it was released after the Nexus, and it sold no better than any other HTC snapdragon s3 based phone, meaning if they weren't going to bother giving us jelly bean, then I doubt any other HTC phone pre one-series gets it either. Also my Captivate I had before this got 2 updates, so I wouldn't hold my breath, but I wouldn't count them out either.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kev_cr:
Totally agree with this, anyway ONE series are not having as success as HTC wanted to, so if they don't upgrade other phones to JB, and just give it all to one, think they won't be winning anything, instead they would be lose lots of clients... so far HTC is one of the most responsible about updating phones so, as Motorola lost lots of clients because of this and HTC is not going as well as they expected, I'm also a believer we're getting JB, just hope not to be wrong... anyway, time to time...

PS: Sorry about my english =/
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
HTC isn't the problem. AT&T is, and has always been, if you look historically at the way all Android manufacturers update devices.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
well if we get it look for 2nd quarter 2013 earliest. AT&T holds on to updates forever. The first beta leaks for the captivate gingerbread rom showed up in July, the leaked version we ended up getting leaked in November and we finally got it in January
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
We got ics pretty quick if you remember.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah but lightning rarely strikes twice. We got ics because our phone was at&ts announcement device. Not to mention HTC is still trying to get ics updates out to all the rest of its phones including the Vivids Verizon cousin, the rezound
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I just saw the incredible s got 4.04 hopefully we will at least get that. 4.04 doesn't look any different but fixes alot of bugs.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Was the 3.44 Telstra release 4.0.4? If not, don't hold your breath.

I'll be very surprised if we get 4.1 even somewhere in the world. If anything, I'd hazard a guess that HK will get it as they are carrier-unbranded.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah HTC is struggling and betting their future on the one series. The round of ics updates might be a fair well gift to all of us instead of continued support. It's all good I knew when I got my vivid that one update was probably all it would get. Times have changed since the captivate. The captivate was a flagship phone and if you wanted to stay on att and get an android it was that or a teenage texting toy. Now the market is flooded and manufacturers know that their competitors aren't any better about updates so they really have no incentive to update you.

It's not like our phone is super old and outdated. Only what like 6 months?? I just came from an Atrix 4G which is getting ics 3rd quarter of this year. If that phone can receive two updates then so can ours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kev_cr:
Anyway, branded or not, as 1 firmware is relased it'd be easier to build a ROM for everyone, isn't it?

Most of us want to believe it, anyway HTC has not officially anounced anything by now...about hardware, that's not a problem, we're at the same point as ONE S is, so, it's quiet "possible" to get JB update... but not confirmed, and about Atrix 4G... haha, got bored waiting for that update, tha's why I sold it and got my Vivid, those 2 updates (GB and ICS had to be given, at least because of how they announced that phone and what it really was)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
I agree, my coworker has one of the new Razrs and he didn't get an OTA ICS update notification til about 4 days ago! (Verizon). There's no reason the development community should be so small or limited...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
When i think about it I could see us not getting it because project butter will make the one x seem pointless lol

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JayBuck:
Here's to hoping XDA can help us on this front. I've been very, very impressed with the amount of support you guys have shown for this phone even with all the bull**** we've had to deal with. I am amazed at how much the phone has improved from all the updates, currently using Wajee's de-sensed v1.2 and it's amazing...hopefully if we ever get the issues figured out I can one day have a official CM9 install...until then I can dream.

Again...thank you guys for all the hard work...lets hope these great minds can come together and come up with a solution to get a JB ROM also since it appears HTC isnt going to be helping us anymore....guess i'll be purchasing Nexus only devices from here on out since none of the carriers/manuf. can seem to get this right from our standpoint.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Canio Wolf:
Well said, much love for XDA :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Well I'm not as concerned about an update as I am a stability and performance patch. Let's faced it here Gingerbread was perfect on the Vivid. ICS definitely improved many aspects of the device but also left it with a lot of bugs. If ics is the only major software update I'm fine with it but they need to address the bugs and at least bring us up to the much more stable 4.04. I love my vivid but I do think it'll be my last carrier phone. I'll probably pick up a Nexus at some point just hope the next one has a better camera. Nexus cameras have always sucked Imo. My vivid hands down has the absolute best camera I've used on a mobile device. The view finder has no lag and the shutter has very little to no lag and picture quality is excellent. Only thing it lacks that my 8MP Fujifilm digital camera has over it is mechanical zoom, but overall the camera is forgotten nowadays and my vivid is all I need.

Also now that I have 2 solid built htc devices I'd prefer they ditch Samsung and their glossy cheap plastic.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] amlaria:
S3 is slated for 4.1 in September, wouldn't be surprised if HTC "leaks" an update in q4 2012
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Awesome I hope that's the case! Reality is this phone is too young to be dropped from support

Sent from my VTC HIVID using the xda app
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Well, it already has been dropped.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Have they said that yet or not? I know the Raider 4G in Canada has been but don't know that the vivid has. It's wait and see with the Vivid. Oh well either way, I just want better battery life and some bug fixes, which can be accomplished from rooting anyway
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
The Inspire just hit EoL June 11 (16 months after release). The Vivid isn't EoL with ATT yet (released in November, making it 8 months old), but historically ATT has been known to only release 1 major update per device (the Vivid's was obviously ICS). To see another OS upgrade from ATT for the Vivid would be surprising, but if an RUU gets released - there are some great chefs around.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
It's just wait and see period really. No one knows yet I doubt att or htc even know yet the fate of this phone.

Sent from my VTC HIVID using the xda app
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
The fact that carriers are already dropping it is enough cause for concern, whether they are ATT or not.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah not a good sign. Problem is htc wanted a clean slate with the one series and I wouldn't be surprised if they just decided to drop every phone before it.

Really when you buy a carrier smartphone you just need to be happy with it for what it is when you buy it and consider every update an added bonus. So let's just all count on not getting it and look towards are developers instead. :-) still no regrets on this phone.

I was fed up with my captivate and was trying to make it to may to grab a one x or nexus but I came to the conclusion that gingerbread was good enough and screw the latest version of android or the latest and greatest. The Vivid met my needs and if I really can't stand it in a couple months, I'll haggle att for an early upgrade or cut my losses and buy a nexus. Even if you can't haggle att for an early upgrade, typically 18 months is all you need to upgrade again.

I got mad and angry waiting for updates on my captivate, but now I'm a veteran with android. Expect things to get even worse. Locked bootloaders are becoming the norm and manufacturers more and more want you to buy the latest and greatest. When I bought my captivate 2 updates were the norm, now it's one. And my captivate took all of 10 minutes to root and all htc phones pre sensation were just as easy. I didn't even know what s-on meant when I bought my flyer. It is what it is. But hey we got ics, and that's more than alot of other phones got

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] agentfusion:
HTC is far from betting their future on the ONE series. They are diversified enough in other markets that they will not be broke just from bad phone sales. Example, they now own BEATS by Dre and license beats audio to hp/compaq. HTC has been around a while and I don't see them going away any time soon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Their sales are down. They reported a 58% loss in the second quarter. And that's up from previous quarters! So yes they are indeed betting their future on one series phones. Don't think for a second the vivid is too young to be cut off from updates. My flyer was just over a year old when htc decided they were done with tablets for a while and decided that all tablets were staying on their current versions of Android.

My flyer was screwed anyway because it didn't run normal sense versions. It instead ran sense 1.1 for tablets, almost a 3.0 lite with tablets optimization. And ultimately that's why the flyer didn't get ics, HTC didn't wanna devote resources to making a new sense for it. And go figure our phones run a different sense too! While I see no reason why jelly bean features can't be added to sense 3.6 I doubt htc sees it that way. Also gotta consider that at&t might decide too many people are buying vivids and ignoring the one series. Look at the inspire before it. Identical in every way to the Desire HD that did get an ics update yet at&t refused the update.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone but seriously just don't expect a jelly bean update. If it comes its an added bonus and quite frankly we're lucky we got ics so quick. All and all jelly bean is minor anyway and yeah we could use a bug fix update at least but you can take care of most if not all of the bugs by flashing a custom rom and kernal anyway.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhomerun:
Title = Question.

The closest I got was the MIUI ROM that's up on the front page of the development forum right now. It was so close to working. It said "No SIM Card" but the calls worked!! And the -36 baseband was recognized! The only problem was that with that status message, the phone would not allow me to save any APN settings, therefore I could not get data access.

I also tried it with the -42 baseband. These should be the newest AT&T specific basebands available that are AT&T specific.

The real problem is, I can install 62 just fine, but it only supports the slower HSPA data speeds as these are for the R800i.

I don't really expect a solution but I thought I'd ask :cowboy:

I am running CM9 (Cyanogenmod9) FXP127 with Mjolnir Kernel and modules, and I have hspa+ and it is a great ICS rom in my opinion:laugh:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhomerun:
Thanks! Do you use a specific CM9 build?

Also, which baseband do you use?

Do you have the call volume problems that many CM9 builds have? What about your proximity sensor?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USMCmattyE4:
I run FXP127 which I beleive was released fairly recently, Video does not work... ALTHOUGH if after installation you flash the Mjolnir4 Kernel and the modules (wont get wifi if you dont install the modules) the video works fine... the only problems I am having is the proximity sensor (just realized that today) as long as you dont leave the number pad up and close it when you dont need it, it doesnt bother me much. I am however going to research a fix for it this weekend.

baseband -62 It runs at the same speed as with at&t's newest BB I flashed back and forth from stock to CM9 ran speed test results are identical
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhomerun:
Thanks again. The proximity sensor is one of those really tricky things. I don't mind Bluetooth audio not working, and other minor things like that. Video does have to work for me.

Actually I never had a problem with a non-working proximity sensor, except for Skype handling it very poorly. So I basically need it to work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
I have gotten all ICS roms that I've tried working on my AT&T play 4G(lol 4g). On some I may manually set the APN. I've tried KA11-14 Rom, Xdarkmario's Rom in .42 & .62 Firmware with Doomkernel ICS beta v.3, & CM9(can't remember which build) with CM's Kernel & recommended FW. I haven't tested for differences in speeds(data), but I got the H signal on all.:)

Edit** In NY area I hear that the. 42 FW with -56 baseband gets better call reception & less drops then newer .62 fw.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
I was thinking of buying one of these for my nephew, he currently has a Nook tablet. I was trying to figure out if all the content he currently has on there would be easily re-downloadable to the Nexus 7 with the Nook app. I just wasn't sure if Amazon or B&N had any content that was only available on their devices and not available through their apps for other Android devices.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 416inversed:
I could be wrong, and if I am hopefully someone here will correct me, but my basic understanding is that any apps & magazine subscriptions purchased through the B&N store are not available through the Nook App, but books & single issue magazines are.

With Amazon, all content should be available through the Kindle & Amazon Store apps, as long as they weren't Fire-only apps.

The other complication would be if older apps are incompatible with 4.1 Jellybean, of which I don't know.

I flashed jelly bean on my google playstore GNex. since then the wifi performance has diminished. my laptop, ipad, printer and tv, all in the same room have full 5 sticks of connectivity whereas my nexus randomly changes between 1-3 sticks and sometimes drops for no reason. i have flashed the verizon wifi fix posted earlier but the problem seems to have worsend a little. it was fine when i was on 4.0.4. can someone suggest a fix or give me a flashable file of 4.0.4 wifi radiofiles? Any help would be resoundingly appreciated. thanks a lot in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
wifi "radio files" are within the kernel.

try franco kernel r210 or trinity's jb kernel

thanks for the quick reply. simply flashing them via cwm will do? will that change anything else other than wifi? thanks.

AS im sure people who use swype beta have noticed, swype received an update recently. while overall im happy witht he update, i see that they took out (or im just blind) manually adding words to personal dictionary straight from swype settings. I know you can just type the word and tap it once while its in the auto correct bar, but i like adding most of my words b4 i start using swype. So is there a way with the new swype update?

And since i like to flash roms allot, is there a way to backup the personal dictionary and then import it to the new rom? would be pretty kick ass if its possible

With the pre-paid global SIM card, you get the benefit of having the same number, which you can carry through your journey in different parts of the world.

I was reading some reviews with the camera and some people said they can set the camera to 12MP or 9MP mode depending on 16:9 or 4:3 (which I have no idea what it means), how would I be able to get better pictures?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
For changing to 12 MP mode, press menu button while on camera app, and choose Resolution (the icon with is a rectangle with a number on it) and choose 12 MP.

Oh, and 16:9 -> Rectangular photo (I like that way more), just like big TVs.

4:3. Square-ish photos, just like the old 15 inch monitors.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
coming from an iphone I ALWAYS forget about the menu button (far right), I only expect options on the screen, so 16:9 is when you hold the phone sideways? and 4:3 is when you hold it the normal way?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] butters149:
is 12MP only showing the 4:3 ratio? Not sure how I can get 12MP and 16:9.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
you cannot use 12MP as 16:9 ratio.

I and almost everyone else using it as 9MPX...also on 8mpx i use 6mpx which is 16:9...and 8 is 4:3
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Yeah. More or less like that. But you can take 4:3 photos while you're holding your phone in landscape mode ( I.e using camera button). The photos will be the same.
