[General Questions and Answers] lsmrfydgaf:
Hi everyone I have a question, maybe someone can help me out.

I tried and tried flashing a rom onto my LG thrill.. finally gave up.

So to go with a new look I downloaded SPB SHELL 3D (pretty cool actually) anyways.. I happened to come across a rom that works with v10e and keeps my signal! Unfortunately I didn't like the rom.. so after using cwm to restore my SPB backup.. SPB was gone! And now when I try downloading certain apps my phone says it couldn't be downloaded because I had no memory left and I should free some up. Why? Both my internal and external SD'S have GIGS of free memory?

So far its happened with SPB SHELL & APPLANET.

Any comments? Suggestion? Resolutions?

Thanks in advance!

Guys,

I no longer use this phone as my phone but I still love using it for games and music and for the kids. What would you recommend as the best performing ROM for this. I want something clean and simple that will allow me to run the stream Pandora, Google Music and games.

thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
For gaming, any ICS ROM will do (e.g. NexusHD2) but I'm not sure about pandora and Google Music. Never tried pandora but Google Music seems to work fine for me (bear in mind I mean only listening to music via the app, being in the UK that's all I can use it for)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
Pandora is working without problems on ics cm9 from tytung, im not American but Orbot app is giving me chance to use Pandora as American ;-)

About playing games i would suggest you to use Gingerbread roms maybe something like Dorimanx rom.

Also there is script on xda forum which can temporarily disables unused services and apps even sms and call function so you can play games with better performance also.

As alternative buy Ram manager app which have hard gaming mode, again you'll have more resources for gaming.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rugged96:
how is the battery usage on those ICS ROMs? I am using an NRG rom and it works good but I know it might not be optimal for battery drain. I would put low drain very high on my list.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mr-K:
It's not as good as in GB. But 1,5 day is possible without charging.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] janus19:
I have AOK-Paranoid Android ROM on my HD2, and I have to say that my battery life is pretty horrible. Less than 8 hours with very little use...

However, since this is a used phone I got from a friend, I can't say if the problem lies with the ROM or the condition of the battery itself.

I just ordered a new battery off amazon and hopefully that will improve things considerably. I'll let you know what kind of battery life I get with the new one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cero92:
If you are not an "update addicted", then HyperDroid ROM might be the best.

It's based on Gingerbread, compiled from source, really fast, stable and "light".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] janus19:
By the way, anyone else have such horrible battery performance with their HD2 and Android ROMs, or is it just me?

Wasn't really sure if it was appropriate to that thread or not.....the ads aren't really intrusive were it not for the fact that it makes the Back button not work.

At least I searched for similar threads prior to posting!

Im looking for a very perfect fitting case for my gnex, I love my naked phone so I'd like a pretty thin case just to prevent scratches and minimal drops. I want something that allows for easy pressing of the buttons as most cases make that pretty hard. Anyone have a great case they'd recomend?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
Probably the sgp capsule case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I've heard some pretty bad things about it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
or just get a diztronic tpu..half the price of the sgp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hawon:
is the quality and thinness same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Looks like a cheap on I have off eBay. I'd take the SGP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norm12:
Ringke slim is perfect

Sent by Logo the turtle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
i guess. the sgp and diztronic are both tpu cases, so there is no major difference. for the diztronic i like the button cutouts, don't have to worry if the case makes it hard to push buttons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
incipio feather or the ringke are pretty thin cases
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I have the case and no, it's not barely there. (Though I still like it for other reasons)

@OP, you should take a look at Rearth Ringke and SGP Ultra Hybrid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
I use the diztronic smoked gray translucent case. It looks nice being semi transparent, adds very minimal bulk, and comes with a nice screen protector. I ordered a skinomi also but haven't put it on yet because I don't really like the feel that type of protector gives, so the quality of the protector that came with my tpu case was a nice surprise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprocha101:
You want one of these. They're like the ringke cases but a lot cheaper. They are surprisingly good quality.

do any of these thin cases fit with the extended battery? (2000mah)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazl0:
Incipio has a great light case.

my other phone is a Nokia n900 maemo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dsoto87:
Ringke slim fits the extended battery without the cover (cdma version). It's perfect for exactly what you described, small drops and scratches. Looks great too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
That rearth ringke looks awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
I carried my Nexus One for 2.5 years with out a case and had no problems. However, if you're going to get one, get an Incipio. I've got one on my Tab and it is really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Ya I usually run my phone naked but I'm a diesel mechanic so with my phone sitting in and on my toolbox I'd like to prevent bad scratches. I've already got some pretty upsetting marks

this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Ordered a rearth ringke

Should have gone with one of these. It about a 10th of the price of the ringke. I can vouch for its quality. Its a really nice case.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Macguyver:
I got this on mine, doesn't add any bulk, gives it a little grip and protects it in a drop. Real happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but there's a case literally called "Barely there", from Case-Mate.

And here is the chinese ripoff I bought: ebay

It's my favourite so far and I've been using it for a few weeks. It doesn't really cover the corners or the top and bottom at all. Wouldn't do much if I dropped my phone, but it's good for protecting the screen and back when I have it sliding around on a table or whatever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
If its just scratched your worried about get an Invisible shield :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I have one on my screen haha. I just wanna protect the back and corners a bit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabidfurball:
The Ringke Slim is an excellent case. I've had the black LTE extended battery one since February.

Just one thing to note, the case come with extra rubber plugs for the usb and audio ports, don't lose them, because you will need them eventually. The plug "leashes" do wear down with use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] system60:
Looks nice but doesn't has the same fault of the Case-mate barely there, it doesn't protect the top or bottom of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
Exactly what I was gonna say. I like the way ringke keeps away from the sides and protects the corners and top and bottom. This other one does the opposite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LNJ:
I have the Barely There and love it. Although the Barely There that I had on my SGS2 was slimmer than the GNEX one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
I have purchased so many cases for the GN and my Ringke slim cases are my favorites. Only time I use a different case is when I'm out hiking or jogging and I need massive protection.

Thin, good drop protection, and gorgeous build quality. What more could anyone want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
got the 0.3mm case on ebay for $3 and it really feels no case on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
nice link, zelda
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andythefan:
How about a slim/barely there case that protects all edges of the phone? I have the Diztronic, it's a fairly well-rounded and great case, but it's not the thinnest I've ever seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatdude90210:
Just got the SGP Ultra hybrid (not the TPU Capsule case). It's very thin, I would say a touch under 1mm all around. It's very well made, and follows the exact contours, like showing all the original sharp edges, of the Nexus. I also have the Mercury TPU case. The SGP feels much better and less bulky in my hands, much more like the original phone than the Mercury. The only negative is that the power button of the Ultra Hybrid gets pressed a little too easily.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qubertoz:
I rooted my nook color and then decided to unroot it. However, I was not smart enough to look up how to unroot the nook properly. I selected the wipe and restore option. Now when I turn on my nook, It won't let me sign into my account and proceed. It states, "sorry we're having trouble setting up your NOOK. Please shutdown the device and try again". I've done so several times for the past couple of days and had no luck. The nook color was running 1.4.3 and it is the 8gb model. I used the manual nooter 5.02.19 and clockwork 3.2.0.1 eyeballer for the original root. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
Have you tried 8+1 reboots?

That's were you start to reboot the unit but as soon as you see something on the screen you hold down the power button and start the process over, (you are interrupting the boot process). You'll need to do that 8 times. If you miss and it reboots you'll have to start over. On the ninth time it will be pretty clear that things have changed but in the end you should see Kate as though you had turned the system on for the very first time.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qubertoz:
I just did exactly that and it reinstalled the software and cleared the data. It looks different from before but it's still giving me the same error message. And then when I power off the nook, i can see the rooted android interface with the bottom taskbar. The card is out of the nook as well. Is the 8+1 reboot method the only way?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Are you able to connect to wifi? You have to be able to do that before it will let you log in to your account and set up.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qubertoz:
Yeah, I connected to my wifi. Its the last step in the setup process that is giving me trouble which is signing into my bn.com account.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
What is the exact model number as seen on the box?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
ah ha...I can help you.

You have a nook that was probably not originally registered to you or has the original registration messed up somehow.

You need to skip the out-of-box experience. Misry, you know this...

When your girl Kate shows up, hold volume up, tap the bottom right corner of the screen and then the bottom left

A green box for the Factory Screen pops up. Select it.

hold volume up again and tap bottom right. Skip OOBE button comes up. Select it.

This will allow the Nook to run stock normally, w/o registration (even after reoot!)

You should be able to completely erase the original registration since you have wifi through the settings menu. Just go to factory reset from there.

Sweet, right? It was my saving grace when my wifi chip borked and no matter what wipes I did, the nook would crash when it tried to remember my saved network config. Only a true, complete factory reset loses that stuff (including the original registration stuff.)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
I realize this question will probably go unanswered, and I've searched, but I'll ask anyway:

Does anyone know if any ROM has an option to prefer connecting to one WiFi AP over another when BOTH (or two or more) are in range? The current algorithm seems to prefer whichever has the stronger signal at the time of (re)connection.

i.e.: I have a dual-band Netgear WNDR3700 router that has both 802.11G and 802.11N radios. Obviously I'd like to give N higher priority since it's got more bandwidth, but I can't, and I often discover that my phone is still connected to the slower G when I want N. I know that I could tell my phone to "forget" about my wireless G AP, but, wireless G gets much better range than N, so I like it when it hops over to G when I get out of range N, and then hops over to 4G when I'm out of range of both.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lynkdead:
The hack-ish solution might be to get some NFC tags set up to connect to specific networks spaced at locations around your location where you know you typically leave range of either of the routers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawleyncsu:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
please search in the future, or just look around as there are at least 3-5 topics regarding amazon/flash.

The Amazon Video On Demand app will not work on ICS or JB.

you can install flash manually with the apk and then install an alternative browser (flash does not work in chrome) reports are that it will crash in fullscreen but aside from that it will work.
[HTC One X] OzanSRC:
As everyone knows my battery life such a pain. Today i realised something. When the battery percentage for example %43 after doing a soft reset with pressing power button on 10 seconds when the phone starts i look at battery stats and it shows %46-47. I flashed the lastest RUU previous day and charged at nearly 5 hours at night. Except that battery drain is too weird. It drains %3-5 when screen opened.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
It's just the software reporting the battery stats wrong. Seems to be some type of bug I think.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] skytbest:
So I have a Verizon SGIII rooted with recovery. I changed my LDC Desnity to 270 with ROM Toolbox, then I installed LCD Density Modder and used that do change it back to 320 (what I thought was the default value). Now when I boot up my phone I get to the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo and then the screen just goes black. Doesn't respond to touch or anything. I'm now trying to mount my system through recovery but it won't work for some reason.

Is there some way I can fix this through recovery?? Will a cache wipe or something reset the LCD density?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] blue265:
Did you make a nandroid backup before hand ? If so you could try advance restore and restoring system from a nandroid backup. Or just do a full restore.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] skytbest:
Unfortunately I didn't. But if I have to do a full restore I can. Is this the "Factory Reset" option?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] oreo:
connect your device to samsung kies maybe? you can do stuff on your phone with the pc i think theres restore as well
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thetony:
If you don't wanna mess around with adb commands to pull the build.prop and fix it manually just reflash your rom.

Hi,

I've been using JB since the version from io12 was out. Currently I use Bigxie's deodexed 4.1.1 and all is wonderful. Except one thing that is. The wifi signal is weaker than I'm used to from ICS. Especially the wifi range seems worse. Connections that I've used with ICS are now out of range. Some of my friend or family's connections are now very weak and I drop out of range very often. This goes for any JB rom/kernel I've tried.

I've tried several roms, trinity and franco kernels, dirty flashing, full wipe. I've even tried a couple of different basebands, even though I don't think they affect wifi.

So I'm wondering if other GSM GNex users are experiencing the same thing? I've seen a thread with a flashable "poor wifi fix" for the Verizon GNex, but nothing for the GSM version.

Verizon GNex wifi/gps fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739097

Any suggestions? Coukd a similar solution like the Verizon fix help?

Best regards,

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Ok, allow me to explain whats going on with the "fix".

There were some folks who ported the GSM version to Verizon (myself included). However, they failed to use the correct wifi/BT firmware (I did but thats besides the point). They left in the GSM version. So that above fix is merely the bcm4330.hcd firmware and bcmhd.cal calibration file for wifi/BT from 4.0.4 for Verizon. It is not meant to be used for GSM and only applies to those who ported GSM to CDMA. Even with the fix, wifi is weak.

Verizon users currently have a newer version now, specifically for them from Google. However, the weak wifi issue still exists even for us. There are some who have strong wifi routers or are always close to them that do not see the issue, but it does exist for every JB user. Wifi is simply weaker, and BT is fairly janky.

It is a Jellybean specific problem, and I am assuming it will be fixed in time. You could try a 4.0.4 bcm4330.hcd, bcmhd.cal on Jellybean, but I doubt it will help, and it could end up hurting. I am thinking that broadcomm needs to fix these files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Thanks for the reply and the precise info about the problem and the background for the Verizon fix. Very much appreciated.

I guess I'll have to wait and hope for an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am right there with you.

Wifi is horrible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burhanistan:
WiFi does kind of blow chunks. WTF.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The more I think about it, the more I think it can probably be resolved by tweaking the calibration file. However that is a bit beyond my abilities as I don't understand whats contained in it to know what it needs tweaking to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
wifi weakness

I'm not sure why it does this but when I am in my house about 15 feet away from my router I would notice my wifi signal dropping down to 2 bars where my other phone would stay at full strength until I got around 15 yards away.. I decided to see how far I could get away from my router before completely losing signal. I walked a total of about of 30 yards from my router to the edge of my street and stopped every time the signal decreased down to one bar(which was between every 5 or 10 yards)... every time I thought the signal was about to drop out it would return back up to 3 bars after a moment of adjusting. Once I got to my furthest point it dropped out completely and then came back to 1 bar. When I came back inside where I previously had 2 bars I then had full signal throughout the house. I tested this a couple times and it seems that it only uses what it needs. If someone could do a similar experiment to confirm this isn't specific to my router set up I would appreciate it. I also did not notice any drop off in performance in speed from 1 bar to full signal while I was within 20 yards of my router, however, I didn't run a speed test, I just used my youtube app to load a video... I will run some speed test when I get home this evening to get a solid figure on the speed difference. This may not be a bug but a feature to conserve energy to increase battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
A good theory, but I am dropping wifi in some of my rooms. Switching to and fro like that doesn't save power ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimb9:
didnt people have poor performance with their wifi signal on ics? did broadcom leave everything the same of did they change/update drivers for our phones with jb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Me too, I only need to move to the next room or so sometimes. The main problem for me is range. The range for me was better with 4.0.x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
ICS wifi performance on the GNex wasn't exactly perfect for me, but it was better than what I get with JB. My router at home is giving me an okay performance and range, but the routers I normally connect to at family and friends are giving me problems since I moved on to JB.

I believe JB does come with new drivers. At least I've read that it does, in other threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I had better performance on ICS with WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jebac21:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
Wi-Fi has been fine for me, but only when using 2.4GHz—5GHz, on the other hand, is horribly broken. If you are using 5GHz, I recommend trying 2.4GHz instead—hopefully Google will have this sorted before the Galaxy Nexus II ships.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibraheeemz:
you may want to revert back to ICS to verify if the phone hardware is not a problem? otherwise for me I have used both... ICS and JB, and I don't find any difference..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
I’ve found 5GHz to be broken on both ICS and JB and this is with more than one phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I'll try 2.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
5 Ghz was fine for me on ICS. It works on JB too, but the range...ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related. It's definitely related to JB. It's not a 5 GHz problem either, that's what I use at home on my d-link. Family and friends have both 5 and 2.4 GHz. I'm sure it depends on the quality of the routers also but I didn't have any real range problems with any of them before JB.

Same here, except my d-link at home, which is kinda okay at 5 GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
2.4 is pretty weak for me too.

I looked at the calibration file from ICS to JB. I don't think the difference warrants the problems seen.

From ICS to JB, these are the changes:

# 2.4G ACR

rxgaintbl100=1

# 5GHz Starting Tx Gain Index

initxidx5g=96
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Okay. Right now I'm at my parents house. The Linksys router here is 2.4 and range is pretty bad. It wasn't that great with ICS, but it was better.

My sisters Cisco router uses both 2.4 and 5 GHz and the range is really bad on both bands on my GNex with JB. No problem for her SE Arc or my other sisters SGS2 tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] splus:
I also notice weaker wifi range on JB. Less signal bars but it's not just bars display, it's actually disconnecting sometimes where on ICS it wouldn't happen.

Knowing and experiencing all those mobile data problems with GNex on ICS I really doubt Google will fix anything about this problem. This really sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
As a temporary solution, I now use the setting "Wifi PM_FAST" in Franco's app (kernel #220) to boost wifi. At some battery cost I guess, but it's to early to tell.

Edit: the stting, as I understand, does not improve the signal, but it can minimize the risk of wifi drops during screen off, e.g. while streaming or downloading a large file
