[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typos1:
I m looking for something very similar. I have a OEM sat nav/car phone thats pre bluetooth so has it's own sim slot. Its a pain to keep taking out the sim every time I get in and out the car, so I d like something that I can slot into the carphone's sim card slot that connects via bluetooth fo my phone. It would have to make the carphone think its just a normal sim, when in reality it would actually be remotely accessing my phone's sim card. Its perfectly possible, you d just need a bluetooth dongle, a small chip to convert the info from bluetooth to something the other phone thinks is a sim. Woudlnt have to be a smartphone, could work with any phone with bluetooth to control another phone, no need for apps or anything. trouble is, whilst all the components exist for it to be possible, no one actually comdines them into a product.

I went to buy an Ultrabook today and narrowed the choice down to the Asus Zenbook and Samsung Series 9. Now I already own an Asus product (the Transformer Prime) and a Samsung product (the Galaxy S III). One of these was a horrible waste of money, the other a fantastic device which works flawlessly.

I just want to thank Asus for helping me decide on the Samsung Series 9 - what a great piece of kit!

(And Gary, if you want to accuse me of not even owning the Prime, I'm happy to email you the receipt. Feel free to send me a refund if you feel any sense of guilt in taking my money for that piece of garbage.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jess813:
So I am with Sprint and have the GNex but I am seeing more support for the GSM version ... so even though I have a Nexus.. is it really a Nexus? Does CDMA/LTE play a part in updates? Why doesn't h

My phone received the full Jellybean update? Is it antennas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The GSM version by default is just going to have more support. Putting the fact that you can buy it cheaper aside, the GSM model works

everywhere in the world

. Compare that to the Sprint and Verizon models which are different devices for just those carriers (ROMs aren't compatible). Also consider that of the 3 models, the Sprint one probably has the smallest user base just considering the size of the carrier and how relatively recently the phone has gone on sale. The GSM model has been on sale since November 2011, the Verizon has been on sale since December 2011.

CDMA/LTE does play a part in the slowness of updates, basically because the carriers get involved. They have to test the updates on their networks (quite strenuously) before they give the OK to put the update out. We'll see how long Sprint takes (we've yet to get an update for the Sprint model), but we know that Verizon does take a while to push their updates.

Your phone will get the Jelly Bean update

, it'll just take a while.

The reason why the Sprint Galaxy Nexus isn't an "AOSP device" is simply because Google and Sprint haven't come to terms on their ability to license and distribute the proprietary radio parts with the rest of the Android code. They're currently able to license these for the Verizon model (this is new), and don't need to get specific carrier permission to use the GSM parts.

Your phone is a real Nexus. It'll get updates and will hopefully soon be an AOSP device too. You just have to realize that when the carriers (CDMA specifically) get involved, things get a little weird and not all phones get treated equally.

All of that being said, if you're interested in ROMs and development, I'm sure there will be plenty of great options for you on your Sprint model. If you're not interested in hacking (and that's okay!), then just patiently wait for the OTA and

enjoy your device for what it is today

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jess813:
Thanks for your feedback but in general isn't Sprint closer to Google than any other carrier? Hasn't Sprint shown the most support to the Android team? I.E Google wallet and Nexus S 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just because Google and Sprint decided to try and do things like Google Voice Integration and Google Wallet doesn't mean that they'll be able to come to terms on a licensing agreement for proprietary CDMA and LTE code.

Not to mention that there has been some friction between the two over the time since the NS4G has launched. Remember, Google launched the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint over 6 months after it became available worldwide (GSM) and on Verizon (CDMA/LTE). That doesn't seem to be something that would happen if they were really that good of buddies. Sure Verizon likely had a good agreement ($$$) with Google to have exclusivity, but if Google really wanted to launch a Sprint model they could've.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jess813:
So explain to me why CDMA takes longer than gsm? What do the radios have to do with it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemlocke:
CDMA is not open source like GSM, so they have to add in all the proprietary code for the CDMA versions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysterious99:
Hey guys,

I recently rooted my S2 and installed a custom ROM because i was sick of waiting for Samsung to release ICS in my region ( Also i love stock ICS :D ).

Recently they released ICS in my region so i went to sammobiles to download the firmware.

My Question is that do PDA and CSC change for each new version of android released or am i supposed to wait for the firmware with the same PDA and CSC as the version i was using.

Also I wanted to know if I could flash firmware of different region on the phone without it having any errors

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
u can flash any stock rom ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The only small issue you might face if you flash stock firmware for a different region is you may not be able to get OTA updates for your region when they're released. But it's easy enough to flash them via Odin so this isn't a massive problem.

Thank you to Hashcode for Jelly Bean for the Kindle Fire!

I installed the 7/13 version today and it rocks. It's like having a brand new tablet!

I'm able to install apps through Google Play, except for some of the key Amazon apps like Kindle, MP3 player, and Appstore. I get "Unknown error code during application install: -24" error. The Amazon Mobile app for shopping installed fine. I enabled "Allow installation from unknown sources" and tried installing directly from Amazon's web site, but I got a similar and vague error that the app failed to install.

I flashed the latest Gapps with TWRP. The version of Google Play on my device is 3.7.13.

How can I install these Amazon apps successfully? I have my .mp3 music and Kindle books that I would like to access on this device. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] SPKNout4CHRIST:
I am having the same issue. I cannot install the kindle app.
[General Questions and Answers] mcmb03:
It's probably because amazon hasn't updated their apps yet. I'm sure they're checking the build version and seeing 16 instead of 15 in your build.prop files. I don't have a Fire or a device with JellyBean, but that's my two cents
[General Questions and Answers] jaegorith:
Update: Thanks for your replies. Reverend Kyle was able to install these apps with no problem. I did a factory reset through TWRP and then was able to install these apps! I lost all the apps I installed and customizations that I made over the weekend, but no big deal to me. I can just reinstall those. But having the Kindle etc. apps was a definite need. Initially I had cleared the various cache areas after installing JB/Gapps, but I didn't do a factory reset. Now everything is working!

Thanks to Reverend Kyle for his JB installation video. That's what led me to do the factory reset.

As a newbie, I can't post his link in this reply until I have 10 posts. Just Google him if you want to see the videos.

AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.1.2_r1

I installed AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.1.2_r1 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1765288 and found several defects.

1) sound. if set sound volume to off, an non-stop system error occurs. (fixed by this way: manufacture reset in TWRP)

2) usb. PC and KF can't detect usb connection. The battery charge is. UMS says "please plug usb cable", but cable is already pluged.

I tried it on the 3 PCs. Only one PC+KF connected, but file transfer speed is very low ~200KBps. Plus KF hangs from the begining ~2 minutes of file transfering. Hard reboot helps only. I tried everything ways to solve that problem what i found in the internet (think so =) (wipe cache(both), install androis SDK manager, drivers from Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6 and so on...).

first PC: win7/i5 3570K/asrock extr4 z77 - usb doesn't work

second PC - notebook samsung RV513-S02: win7/E-450/AMD A50M - usb doesn't work

third: win7/i5-2500/H77 - usb works but very slow (~200KBps)

Ok, after asking on various Rom threads to no avail I'm making a topic about it seeing as I'm not alone on this one...

I seem to have lost all cellular data. When I turn on mobile data I keep getting ' connection failed due to incorrect apn settings'

I have flashed different roms, re flashed current viper Rom, factory reset, full wiped, reset apn to default settings, even got a new sim from my service provider. My apn settings are correct, as have been confirmed by my service provider, I've updated radio and firmware...and still no mobile data.

Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?

Thanks guys.

I'm running viper too and when I upgraded to recommended radio this happened to me. I lost all data connection ! To restore my data I used one of the five(I believe it's 5) generic ics radio and matching ril. I got lucky first one I tried worked for me! I'm not exactly sure of your situation but it sounds very similar to what happened to me... You might want to try the generic ics radio with matching ril.it restored my data right away. You will have to do some searching to find it. But it's there. This just happened to me last week. I really hope this helps you! It worked for me... Best of luck.

this problem seems similar to the problem i faced recently ..i would have complete signal ..but no data

in my case ..if i change the network mode to GSM only ..i used to get Edge

the thing which caused this problem in my case is... loose sim ..yes the sim is loose ..and i kept a paper on top of sim to make it fit tight ...and voila problem solved ...just try this ..it might work :D

I even lock on wdcma only by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information press your current channel and another menu will come up, choose your desired channel from there then press refresh. My device kept going to edge sand it drove me crazy so I locked on wdcma only

And had no problem ever since. I now stay on H. I'm sure it depends on your area also but I've never lost signal doing it that way.

So I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for my birthday (WIN!) and first thing I noticed is that everything Samsung dumped on has slowed it down and made it look ugly (with the exception of the lock screen). I've already installed Nova Launcher and a keyboard that's basically trying to mimic the stock ICS keyboard as close as possible, but I'm wondering what else I can do short of flashing stock ICS or Jellybean? The settings menu and the notifications bar are the ones I really want to get rid of. They're both slow and clunky. Any ideas? (Oh, my tablet is already rooted)
