[Hardware Hacking General] moemzn:
So the hardware must speak to the app files im dealing with, would an emulator solve the problem?
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
It's not a question of hardware vs. emulator.

You can have anything send any keycode that you want.

adb shell input keyevent 4

Will send a "Back" key.

Something has to interpret that.

Applications are written with a fixed understanding of keycodes.

Ok, if you want you can hack something to turn keycodes into touch events.

So "F1" would generate a touch down then up at the coordinates of 234, 132.

You'd need to do some low-level hacking or else hack the application.

If you were going to hack the application, it would be just easier to modify it so "F1" does what you want already.

I appreciate ur awesome reply sir you saved alot of time, ill get a developer to do that time to move fpr the next step, thanks again!

It sounds like i am a idiot, but I am facing a lot of problems on jelly bean (official).

Is it possible to downgrade my official jb software to ICS 4.0.4 official without having to root it?

Sorry for my noobness, I am new to this device ;)

Thanks for your time :)

Thatgrass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Follow Efrant's guide
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
? I can't find one where I don't have to be rooted for or having cwm installed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
that guide doesnt require root or cwm... just an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
I don't have that too... And I want to revert back to ICS ;)

Is it possible??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
without an unlocked bootloader... no not really. even if you used ODIN, it would unlock the bootloader then relock it.

is it really so hard to type: fastboot oem unlock ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
OK, so can I flash with Odin a firmware without unlocking it manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes, but ive never used ODIN, so i couldnt help you with that portion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
Okay.. Someone else experienced with Odin?

Anyway, no other ways that you know?

Thanks for your help btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
its either manual or ODIN.

i will always prefer manual since its not that hard.

either method will wipe your device too btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
OK,

1. How to unlock boot loader? fastboot oem unlock

In terminal? How exactly?

2. What is easiest way when I have boot loader unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
use the guide i posted. it has step by step instructions on how to get everything setup and what/when to flash each item.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
And unlocking boot loader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
yes it shows how to do that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
I see, does it matter which command prompt? Is stock windows vista or Ubuntu good for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the guide is generically setup for windows. for ubuntu, you just need to use ./fastboot-linux instead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
Okay, and how do I know which file I need to download? All those Japanese names or something? I got GSM nexus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the yakju or takju (pick one) images are the ones for you.

do not, DO NOT use mysid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
Okay, thanks :) I will try to do it :) but it s evening now, so maybe tomorrow :) thanks for help!!

BTW: will my warranty be void? Or how big is the chance something will go wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no, it will not be void. just relock the bootloader if you need to send it in for warranty service... fastboot oem lock

slim chances if you follow everything exactly and make sure all the drivers and everything are installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
So, follow the guide will automatically relock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
And how to install the drivers..?? I have a driver already installed I think, it says: Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device

Or do I have to delete that one? But how to install the new one....?

Sooo sorry for my n00bieness :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_charlie:
Just use the toolkit that is on sticky here in the forum. It does everything for you.

You should know that unlocking the bootloader wipes EVERYHTING in your phone, including internal memory (sdcard).

The toolkit installs the drivers and then you have an option to unlock and relock the bootloader. Then there's an option to flash a factory image for the phone. That's what you want. Just download the 4.0.4 from google's site.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
Okay, that's easier then that guide in other posts here right? How to flash that IMG? Is it only system.IMG? And will lock automatically after flash?

Sorry for many questions, but first time I 'flashed' with my other phone, I bricked it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_charlie:
If you use the toolkit and select the option to flash a factory image, it will flash everything (boot, radio, system, data and recovery) leaving your phone like new.

You still need to unlock the bootloader, though. That also wipes your device but with the current rom you have (in this case jelly bean).

After unlocking the bootloader you flash the 4.0.4 image. You can relock the bootloader again if you like (it won't wipe but you'll probably need to unlock it later and then you'll get wiped again).

Long story short,

1. Install drivers (option 1).

2. Unlock your bootloader (I believe option 3).

3. Download factory image.

4. Flash that image. 3 and 4 are in the same option in the menu.

5. Profit.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
I've go e back a couple of times. I found the easiest way to do it is to Odin back to stock which wipes EVERYTHING, including or pics videos etc. The I used the toolkit to unlock the boot loader , gain root and flash cwm. If I already know what ROM I'm going to then I flash it on first boot. Total time once u have all the files is approximately 30-45 minutes..... probably less
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thatgrass:
Thanks everyone, I am going for unlock boot loader and use toolkit ;)

I'll report how it went ;)

After relocking warranty back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Seems like you don't like to read... Following this guide its all you need do the things right and Ffs forget about odin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:

hi, could someone please post benchmark results of the nexus 7?

I am particularly interested in I/O benchmarks such as Androbench and RL Sqlite benchmark.

I want to know this because Asus is having problems with I/O performance on its transformer line on ICS which causes loads of lag and ANR messages....

thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:

[Nexus 7 General] Tempie007:
thanks.

the scores on the nexus 7 are way better than on the prime.

did some research and it seems the nexus 7 uses the same memory as the transformer prime ..

[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Only thing I can think of is the crap 2.6 kernel on the 201, cause both are stock aside from my cfq scheduler on Prime. I thought the T30 was supposed to be better than the T30L.
[Nexus 7 General] Tempie007:
yea it must be. have posted this info to motley kernel thread.

found the n7 kernel source in his GIT. maybe he is already looking into it or he is developing a N7 kernel too ;)
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
he is developing for N7. just take a look at the Nexus 7 original developement section. he already has made a sick motley kernel for this device. overclocked to 1.6ghz. happy to see familiar faces over here also. hopefully we ALL can have a better asus experience here..lol

[Nexus 7 General] razball:
Just got off the phone with the ups, and I asked why if my label had been created on Thursday why on Monday would I still have no update to tracking.

He first said you'll get it Wednesday, I mentally wanted to scream but I started in on they have a guarantee for 2 business days etc....

He double checked and found out a lot of peoples shipments shipped late and didn't get scanned so it looked like there was no movement.

A lot of us should be getting it today.

If you weren't planning for today leave a note with the tracking info on your front door for them to leave it somewhere kind of hidden so someone doesn't steal it lol
[Nexus 7 General] pkshr:
My UPS tracking is updated today and says it's shipped today and I will get tomorrow :)
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
My info still only says Tracking label created but it's scheduled for delivery today rofl. Called my local UPS hub and she said it's being delivered today and there's nothing on the shipment about having to sign so as long as there's a relatively safe place to leave the package UPS should drop it off.

[Nexus 7 General] sabre31:
Same here which pisses me off. Tracking finally updated and it's showing delivery tomorrow but ups shows it as shipped on 7/11.
[Nexus 7 General] rudyy:
Same here. Label created (whatever that means) on Friday, and no update and no tracking info. UPS Site says, "Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status- including the delivery date - will be updated."

I'm guessing it's still in China.

So basically, UPS stinks.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wiz561:
Just wondering which carrier people are using. I have Verizon, but thinking of jumping ship because of the whole bootloader thing. Unfortunately, it seems like they are the fastest and in the most markets. Here's what I've come up with...

Verizon: Fastest carrier and in the most markets in the US. Unfortunately, bootloader is locked.

AT&T: Second choice because they have 4g deployed in many markets.

Sprint: It's a gamble because they are going through a huge upgrade with their network. Don't have 4g widely deployed, but they say they will in the future.

T-Mobile: Quick speeds, but not widely deployed.

I'd love to get people's opinion and which carrier they have.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] JohnM:
If you plan on making a long-term switch:

Verizon - Verizon will always stay the fastest. They will most likely be first to deploy LTE-Advanced (gigabit/s 4G) on the best spectrum (700mhz). This means fastest speeds + best LTE-Adv coverage.

AT&T - Never considered or would consider. Slow 3G in areas without LTE. I'm not sure about their LTE-Adv plans or what spectrums they currently and will use.

Sprint - Sprint's 3G network is fairly slow in some areas, but can also be up to par with Verizon in others. They use the 1900mhz spectrum but have 3G in most areas so it doesn't really matter. In areas where sprint doesn't have 3G, verizon likely only has 2G or even nothing. You can roam on Verizon's 2G for free if you have Sprint. Basically, coverage is not an issue but you may have slow 3G speeds. Later this year Sprint plans to begin switching 3G to 800mhz, according to wikipedia. This means better speeds which is great and more coverage (although not an issue really).

Now, let's talk 4G. Sprint plans to deploy LTE on the 1900mhz spectrum also which is decent but still means good coverage if they will be able to set up enough towers. Speed would be around what Verizon's LTE offers but probably a little worse. They also plan to move LTE to the 800mhz spectrum in 2014 which means tower range, penetration, and speed on par with Verizon.

I'm not clear on the details and I don't even know if anyone knows yet, but their LTE-Adv. network will supposedly be deployed on 2500mhz which would be terrible and mean no real (non-spotty) coverage unless in huge cities. We know this from sprint's past mistake of putting WiMax on 2500mhz. For reference, 2500mhz coverage is like WiFi but a little more. I'm pretty sure the source I heard this from was wrong and Sprint won't make this mistake again.

What would make more sense is if LTE-Advanced is put on 1900mhz after LTE is moved to 800mhz.

TL;DR: Sprint is the cheapest option and will probably be on-par with Verizon in the future. Samsung bootloaders are unlocked. They have true unlimited data which is also the biggest plus. I'd recommend switching to Sprint.

T-Mobile - Honestly, I don't know enough about T-Mo.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wiz561:
Wow, thank you very much for the in depth and useful information!

I'm still t'ed off at verizon about this whole bootloader locked/encrypted thing. I came from a DX and feel like I missed out on a lot (updates) because of the issues that surround that phone.

So, it sounds like Sprint may be caught up to Verizon in 2014, which is when my contract would end for the s3 with verizon. But then in 2014, who knows what Verizon will have.

I think I'm finally starting to be OK with not having the best or fastest, but something that I will be happy with and get the job done. I use to subscribe to the middle tier for internet, but now thinking of dropping it to the lower one because it's cheaper and same speeds as it was two years ago. I guess as long as I have 20 megabit, I'm happy.

If you have good Tmobile coverage in your area...Tmobile would be the one to go with.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] a454nova:
LTE will be on 1900 800 and 2500. Voice will be on 1900 and 800. Network Vision takes all the towers they have now and upgrades them with all services. On top of a all new backhaul to support it all. The system is a software update away from LTE-Adv. And will operate on all 3 Bands, replacing LTE. The system will be very cheap to keep upgraded and maintained for many many years to come. It uses fiber to the antenna where a RRU is 6" from the antenna. No lose of single from the long run to the cabinet. This means more power from right off the antennas.

The idea behind it? Say your down town where there is a good 2500 LTE... Your phone switches to it and you have unbeatable service. As you drive away, you signal drops and your phone will switch to the 1900. You pull in to a Bass Pro Shop and get deep in the store. Your signal drops below optimal and you phone switches to 800. You never know, you just know that everywhere you go... You have probably that fastest service out there.

You ask, why not just use the 800 all the time. Spectrum and throughput. That's another long rant.

Conclusion? Sprint is putting out a ton of money for a system that's ahead. It will be very hard to beat, and they plan to share it. $$$. This helps keep our cost down. But this will have to wait till 2014. After Nextel is done and Clear gets LTE rolling. As of now, most suffer from old tech and a T1 backhaul. Unless your lucky and are in a first round market.

Like me.. Hehe as you probably see in the 30 other threads made about we have LTE. lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smashmash:
The stock music player on the note, besides not being able to do gapless playback also has really annoying DRC - very noticable compressing going on if you use custom EQ - and a noise gate which chops out very quiet passages/the tail end of fades off.

Is there any music player out there that gets round these issues or is it Samsung thoughtfully building this into hardware?

I used to love the Note but the more time I spend with it the more I realise the only thing I like is the screen size :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smashmash:
Do they still have Dynamic Range Compression and the noise gate on?

Good example of the noise gate kicking in is track 12 of The Feeling's Twelve Stops and Home when it drops to the pub noise and walkign home the sound cuts in and out as the (unwanted) noise gate kicks in. I can understand having it on phone calls but why the ferk does it need to be on in music player?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bazzix:
I don't think it's the stock music player. I've noticed this DRC/noise gate thing everywhere, in the flash plugin, in vplayer, stock music player, ...

Whenever a certain volume level is not reached, it gets muted. E.g. the heavy breathing of Tony Soprano in the Sopranos when he's at his shrink's are muted, and totally ruining the experience.. Doesn't matter if it's in vplayer or in the standard video player app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
Why don't you try? All three propositions (Mortplayer, Winamp, Poweramp) doesn't cost you a dime if you want to try them. There is a trial version of poweramp, a light version of Winamp and Mortplayer is generally free. So take a look at the players yourself in order to see whether they suit you or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k4syx:
Background noise

Well there's no point trying, the thing is hardware related - no equalizer or software player can cure it.

I'm coming from HD2 and it had the same problem, way more audible.

Basically every phone I've tried had this kind of backround noise, the one with lowest levels of it is HTC Desire S.

This noise is barely audible or not audible at all when you're using low quality phones, but when using good ones (Fischer Audio Eterna here) you can easily spot it..

Currently my player of choice is PowerAmp - it has the best quality of MP3 decoding libraries, sound stage is rich, wide and detailed, so I can live with a little amount of noise. When I can't, I'm using Desire S as a MP3 player :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
So that's what its called, noise gate

I have had this since I bought the Note, through Gingerbread now ICS, watching films with headphones or listening to music, the low quiet bits are cut and simply go silent, hate it, as I listen to lots of music and watch films, its constantly cutting sound out and back on...starting to think its a hardware fault, but others are obviously getting this too, so surely there is a fix
