[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Well, I would consider it more a "gettin' ready for the glory hole" plan, so as to be of some contributor-level support on what everyone is waiting so anxiously for (ICS/JB for the ATRIX 2); and beyond that, this has become an enormous interest for me, as I am sure is the same for many others, and just want to get at the heart of it with full fervor... but, nonetheless, I know where our limitations are, what our capabilities are possible of, and know that we (the A2 community) can seriously tear this phone a new one when all put our heads together! In the meantime, I shall be immersing myself in getting "me smarts on" as some kid in college said to me, who probably now works for the city's sanitation department! :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
That article is just speculation. With the atrix hd coming out i highly doubt we will get jb officially. Once we have official ics the devs will be able to work up something for us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kc92iyngr:
It's confirmed that sgs 2 isn't getting jelly bean update. Hence I doubt Atrix getting it. And reading the source its just their guess and not confirmation from motor. Let's get the official ics first and then hope for jb.
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
motorola has history of upgrading phone to only one update like they did with defy ....came with 2.1 ....they release 2.2 ...though its totally capable of running 2.3 they never released 2.3 instead they released defy plus with 2.3.3 so its same with atrix 2 ...now they released atrix hd with ics ...... only razr ,razr maxx nd atrix hd from motorola will get jellybean ...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Once again this is probably my last motorola phone. I don't care about factory updates if its unlocked and I can throw cm on it.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
+1 to that. I'm done with Moto for good. Unless they make a Nexus phone...
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
The OG ATRIX came with froyo, got the GB update and is scheduled to get ICS. I wouldn't say that this phone WON'T get JB but by the time it does I will be long gone and into another phone.

The ONLY way I buy another MOTO phone is if they make the next Nexus.

Moto makes some excellent phones and I would recommend them to anyone who simply wants a phone and doesn't like modding things. But since we are all on this great site, that rules us out and unfortunately Moto thinks we are the minority and they do not care about us.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
I agree. My wife started out with a backflip and now she has the original atrix and they are stable for her because she don't care about modding. Myself on the other hand bought the a2 because of motorolas products being stable and I thought we would have the bootloader unlocked by now. This will be my last motorola phone for sure because of the bootloader issue. The a2 is a good phone but Im just getting bored to easy with it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Bump.... For sure last moto, unless they change policy.

ARE YOU LISTENING MOTOROLA!
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
Lol...no. Don't kid yourself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] spikywits:
True, and the reasons for JB denial on SGS2

dual core(min quad required??)

low resolution(min hd 1280x720)

I guess a2 has similar config, and also likely to miss the JB upgrade
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
Not all OG atrix ....some r still in plans of evaluation and planing.....nd i think some has even been rejected for ics......anyways OG ATRIX WAS A FLAGSHIP OF its time i read Engadget article how AT&T introduce new phone to market posted here by Dev Jim ....... The reason they r updating it to ICS IS due to its flagship status .....while Atrix 2 is not a hit or flagship device........nd now since they release ATRIX HD Like defy plus......the chances has became slim ....anyways ur right with moto for excellent phone.......its the only reason i got this phone after using defy for a year....
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pacwell:
This will be my last Android let alone Moto! ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
other way

We should consult Oracle (from matrix) bootloader UNLOCKING :laugh:

or hire Neo ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kailynleto:
When I installed this ROM, it was smooth as butter. The only issue I had (a fairly big one) is that the Play Store had a server error, even after clearing dalvik, Market, and GP cache.

If you should encounter this issue, you will need to download the 04/29 gapps and flash it in CWM, then reboot.

I found this solution in the Galaxy Ace forum. The problem is that the Play Store does not prompt you to accept the Terms and Conditions, thereby rendering Play useless. I'm not sure everyone will have this issue, but heed this advice if you do. The combination of gapps and ROM is good for most, but will not always work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tutusinghsohi:
thank you so much.. i was getting so stressed out, because i just started getting this error too.. couldnt find anything about this on the forum (came across your thread after doing a google search)..

again, thanks a lot.

Hey, I'm currently working with a HTC HD2 with a Froyo Android on it and having difficulties in the basement.

I've recently moved into a new rental house (am a University student) and was given a room in the basement (not much choice there since I signed up late for housing). Anyways I've noticed I get 1-2 bars in the basement which is fine (so I thought) but I'm not receiving any text or phone calls! Whenever I walk outside with my phone there's multiple texts waiting for me and whenever I meet my parents they question why I never pick up the phone (I dont even have missed calls showing).

Now with my closest friends I have whatsapp/fb chat/google talk which is fine but for employers who I give my resume to, or friends I occasionally meet up with they have no way to contact me :S so was wondering if there's any way to boost my signal in the basement?

I've read about a few signal boosters and repeaters but they are costing hundreds of dollars which is out of my price range but really do need to fix something or my social life is going down the drain next semester :S

Thanks in advance
[Networking] aerok5:
forgot to mention, it wont even send texts as well :( at two bars... so sad T__T
[Networking] SimonTS:
Says it all really
[Networking] luftrofl:
Go outside. Solves both your social life problem and signal problem.
[Networking] MrObvious:
Maybe AT&T will have better signal and you can just switch to like Straight Talk.
[Networking] aerok5:
Hey just downloaded a signal booster app last nite (Fresh Network) and it doesn't fix the problem completely... but if i hold the phone exactly above my mini-fridge and send texts they usually go through after 3-4 attempts which is nice :D but sad to see there's no better solutions :(
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
Signal booster apps are a scam. I hope you didn't pay for it.

You should connect it to a strong wifi network and use wifi calling.
[Networking] aerok5:
Hey, no didn't pay for it but I personally disagree. It feels like it does help (although the difference isn't very much)

And yea was debating on going pure WiFi but seems like a lot of hassle to have two different numbers, or is there a way to keep same number?? Sorry not very sure how WiFi networks work, if you could recommend a good one that'd be great :D
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
Most T-Mobile smartphones have built in wifi calling. No porting or different numbers. You just connect to a wifi network and enable it in the settings.
[Networking] aerok5:
checked under settings and no luck :( thanks anyways mite get roomies to chip in for a used network extender (cheapest i found was around $60 which isn't all that bad)

thanks again :)
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
The HTC HD2 is a Windows phone, right? I believe only T-Mobile Blackberry and Android phones support UMA.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RubenRybnik:
So I just got my SGSIII on ATT from SGSII on Sprint ( E4GT ) and was excited to try out lightflow. The phone is pretty sweet otherwise, but with lightflow seeing some odd issues. The first is the LED light always stays green, found this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1757028 ) Which states uninstalling it fixes the issue. However I don't want to remove it, I want it to work, lol. What are other peoples experiences with LightFlow? Does it work for you? I see that if I actually have a notification then lightflow will show it, however it's usually the wrong color, and it never blinks at all, always solid, and almost never the right color.

So if this is just a lightflow issue that's cool, I get it, the SGSIII is new, bugs are going to be there. But I was wondering if it was an issue with the LED itself, can the phone display more than orange, purple and green( I almost certainly think so ). If so, are you using anything else?

Thanks, going to email the dev in a bit, but thought I'd ask here first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] biggins1870:
The dev has already acknowledged the issue and is supposed to be fixing it in the next update.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I keep trying to flash the .zip file but it says it's denied or something like that. I really want to get this ROM working on my Galaxy but I'm not going to flash until I get the recovery saved first. I hope I make sense.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Turn off signature verification in the install zip from sd card menu and try again. It should work once you have done that
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dstarfire:
Wait, are you trying to use CWM to flash Entropy's CWM release? 'Cause the only release I've seen from him is his Daily Driver release, a version of CWM.

If that IS what you're trying to flash, you need to use Odin or Heimdall.

Extract the zimage file from the .zip. In Heimdall, you'll want to flash that file to the kernel in heimdall, or let Odin flash it wherever it belongs.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Akita24:
So the S3 is showing up with a locked boot loader. The only carrier on the planet doing that. Why? I've heard all sorts of silly excuses from Verizon apologists but ... The recently released HTC Incredible 4G has just been unlocked using the HTC developer site unlock tool. It seems they really don't have a valid reason or they would have forced HTC to lock the 4G down (HTC is hurting very badly financially and is much more likely to have to kiss V's butt that megacorp Samsung).

Flip side: Maybe it's high time for a company that doesn't need to kiss butt, with arguably the worlds most popular phone on their hands, to do something like HTC and make a developer unlock tool. That would make them the heros and add even more positive spin on the phone and the company.

Just an idea ;)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mustbepbs:
I think with how huge the S3 is compared to the INC4G, they maybe wanted to treat it differently. Besides, not all is lost. Looks like Samsung left a few doors open. The situation doesn't look nearly as bleak as Motorola phones.

I mean..people have only had it a few days and look what we've got so far with the bootloader situation: root and a workaround for custom kernels. Things will come. I think people are just being really impatient because a lot of people don't have it yet and all the excitement, anticipation, hate for Verizon, and anger about the situation is festering and people are causing an uproar much too early.

I'd say if things are still looking bleak after a month or so, you'd have the right to be upset. Definitely not a few days after SOME people get it. At least wait until it's been officially available for a week :P
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Good question! All I know is right now I am enjoying my stock S3. But I am on ATT. I guess last month when I was looking to leave Sprint I made the right choice huh? GSM forever for now! LTE or not! :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
“Network security."

In other words, no reason.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] amt897:
It's likely a combination of a few things. Locked bootloaders allow them to get you to purchase more phones as upgrades slow down. But in their defense, a significant portion of users with custom ROMs that allow bad software (not really sure what) could actually be harmful to the network. Their product is the network, they don't really care about the few percentage of people that actually care about this stuff.

Which sucks for us.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Araltd:
Forgive my ignorance, but what does having a locked bootloader mean on a GS3?

Not rootable? no custom roms? Since its CDMA and NOT GSM, there is no "unlock" to use on another network? I'm a little confused (and an android noob)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] amt897:
Basically, when we say locked we mean encrypted. Pretty much every phone comes with a locked bootloader, it's just often easy to unlock.

When you boot up a phone, the bootloader is the first thing that loads. It checks signatures of whatever ROM you have, in some cases. This is called a signed bootloader. So you'd have to have a ROM/kernel/whatever signed with the same signature as the bootloader-- i.e., Samsung, in this case. You can sometimes spoof this key, but this bootloader is encrypted, on the SGS3. When a bootloaderis encrypted, it is pretty much impossible to fool, and it becomes very hard to load custom software on the device.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Serious_Beans:
You can still flash custom roms I believe but no custom kernels until the boot loader is unlocked. It also makes other mods and recoveries a pain to install and run....it's mainly just a pain in the ass.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Araltd:
OK got it. Thanks.

$$$$$$$$$$$$

At the end of the day, no matter what they say about anything, it always comes back to that.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheClap:
Yep. /thread
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dohturdima:
Agreed. Unlocked bootloader = easy root = tether apps run = more drain on the network = greater expense for the carrier. People who run modded roms and kernels tend to hold on to their phones longer, carrier may be losing money.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] SlimSnoopOS:
The fault in your logic is that tethering is included in the shared data plans now. Anyone on these new plans can use it which I would guess could soon outnumber those who root and tether.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] redbearde:
That, and with the exception of those of us who still have the unlimited data plans (which cannot be but so many people anymore), the user will pay for whatever data he uses.

Concern about tethering is no longer a valid excuse. ...even with Money being the motivating factor.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] LLStarks:
Nope. Since I know it isn't true.

Verizon asked Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Metups:
Good news about the custom ROMs. I suppose this means that the phone may be rooted, so wireless tethering and nice programs such as Titanium Backup are possible. But, what is the additional advantage of having a custom kernel? Is that something to really look forward to?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
By “custom ROMs" I think he meant “Touchwiz-based custom ROMs"
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jh120:
I tweeted them about this too. Their response:

See guys? They're doing us a favor!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drksilenc:
no you can flash full roms just not radio kernel and bootloader normally but thats been accessed already
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] CBMC:
Without custom kernels you will be stuck on touchwiz based roms.
[General Topics] demun:
I have recently installed a program that simplifies the use of your PC as a router so that you can access the internet via the WiFi adapter in you PC.

In my case I am using a Lenovo G560 Laptop with built in Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and a ZTE USB modem for internet connection.

My Android device is an Acer Iconia A101 running ICS (4.0.3) and is rooted although I believe it is not necessary to have a rooted device for the software to work.

The software is Connectify-me and is available from website "connectify.me"

There is a free Lite version and a paid Pro version - I am currently using the Lite version and have just arranged to get the Pro version.

Setup with it is simple and now I can get on the internet with my A101 without having to get a SIM card or drive into town to fing a WiFi hotspot to update my applications.

I live in North Queensland, Australia.

Hope this info is useful.

Cheers, .. demun

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Freshgeardude:
What are the advantages to this app?

is it just to adjust audio settings? (I have an HP ENVY beats edition so it has the audio control)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] DroidGnome:
Hmmm I'm not seeing a single change other than now I get a message every so often saying MusicFX.apk has stopped :(

I've following the OP's instructions, and tried this using AudioGalaxy , Google Music and Samsung's own music player. Nothing I do in the Awesome Beats settings app has any effect at all...

Has this been tested and confirming working on a Sprint Device?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] kemtehani:
It provides Audio boost ( plus equalizer and bunch of other stuff) for speaker, headset and Bluetooth and to me tunein radio and music sounds better. When I got my SGS3, I was a bit disappointed with audio output quality comparing with iPhone 4 but this app fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] kemtehani:
I tried it on Telus SGS3 which is similar to AT&T and it works. I haven't got musicfx has stopped working message at all and I am sorry you got that. I even tried it on my friends GNex and it worked. Did you open the app after installation and enabled the Boost option?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] DroidGnome:
Yes, I enabled Boost in the Settings (vs leaving it at MusicFX).

Here's the steps I did so we're all clear... note this is on a Sprint Rooted S3..

1) First copied the AwesomeBeats.apk to the system/app folder and changed permissions as indicated

2) Ran the com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk which caused the phone to install 'something'.

3) Went into settings, changed the Music Effect to "Beats"

Immediately received an error about MusicFX not responding.

4) Tried several music apps and while music was playing went into the new AwesomeBeats app in the app drawer and modified a few settings to extremes to try to see if anything worked.. no sound change..

5) Thought maybe a reboot was in order (not mentioned in OP but hey never know). After reboot, verified beats was still selected in settings, it was.

6) Retried music and beats setting app.. no change.

7) Noticed another app in the App Drawer called "Install BeatsAudio" or something similar... CLicked that, and it said it was installing some files and then it rebooted the phone.. (I thought Aha! OP forgot to mention this)

8) After reboot, verified Beats was still selected in settings... tried Music and AwesomeBeats app again... still no changes no matter what settings were tried.

Since then I've removed the AwesomeBeats.apk from the system folder and rebooted.. menu is now gone in settings and things seem 'back to normal' (though nothing really changed that I could tell).

So there you have it... everything I've tried.

BTW this is on a STOCK Rooted S3 from Sprint... no custom ROM nor Kernel... perhaps that's a difference that is required and not mentioned?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] kemtehani:
The steps are all good....when you install com.motioncoding.beats-2.apk, you need to used the app called Beats Audio Installer to get Beats audio working, music fx stopped for me only once but after that everything worked perfectly.

did you try to use the get "Boost audio" enable in the app after?

If you guys are you using the stock TW Music Player and say that it works...well check again.
