One X all the way!

In my opinion, One X has much more beautiful design, Sense is better than TouchWiz, HTC has a better past in terms of maintaining its phones up to date and One X as better screen.

If you normally use more than one battery and/or think that 32GB aren't enough for you, you should consider going for the Galaxy S III.
[General Topics] MattyOnXperiaX10:
One x has very bad battery life and if your not a modder. I'd go with the Galaxy S3

Htc One X || Droid Razr || Galaxy s
[General Topics] mike21pr:
IMHO. if its the international version: GS3

US version: One X

Are you Jelly...? Galaxy Nexus JB 4.1.1
[General Topics] nekrosoft13:
Also trying to decide between those two phones. Right now S3 is winning.

One x has horrible battery.

But i do like sense ui. Can that be ported to S3?
[General Topics] Niquel97:
Go for the sgs3

Because its faster,had better battery life,better screen...

So its better
[General Topics] ArmorD:
HTC looks 1000x better, but S3 is a bit faster. I'd go for S3 but it's a tough choice, both are excellent in their own way. I believe HTC is cheaper?

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to remove the Google+/Picasa pictures from the gallery app? I went to settings and disabled Google photo sync but there are still 3 extra folders in the gallery - scrapbook photos, profile photos, and posts. I don't want them to show up in the gallery app.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilishSerpent:
This is an irritating issue. The only way I know how to solve this issue is to remove your account from your phone. After you add it again, you need to quickly navigate to your sync settings and uncheck "sync photos" before it begins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I BELIEVE...clearing data/cache in G+ and Gallery after making sure the sync settings are disabled works.

But, indeed... irritating. I had it once. And it's a pain in the ass.

Thus, I'm not about to check if the above works =] I don't want to deal with it again, lol.

Edit:

As the above poster said: Deleting your Google account WILL work.

I'd then clear Gallery and G+ again just to be sure.

But it's again, a pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xuggs:
I've frozen Google+ (I don't use it), go to Settings> Apps> All> Gallery> Clear cache and all the Picasa/Google+ pics will disappear. Don't sync again. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedofheat:
I just got my phone yesterday and noticed this issue. Thanks for the tips. Will try them out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Get a file reader app and browse thru your folders until you come across a file labeled ".no media" copy it and paste into each location you don't want to show in gallery.

EDIT: any folder/file with a "."will become hidden unless you set hidden to show.

Android is upgrading...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crk1995:
I ve got a better solution.

Download picassa app from play store. Delete those pics from google-linked picassa account.

I was also annoyed by that issue. But i found this way to solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
clearing the data/cache in the gallery app works! Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwhitney24:
Try downloading the gallery app called QuickPic. It works on both ICS and JB.

It auto hides those folders. You can hide and unhide folders from with in the gallery. Its been my go to gallery app for a long time.

Running.....All.....scroll down to Gallery.. don't rely on the icon, read Gallery, click on, then Disable and clear Data from the storage area. that should clear the gallery icon from the Apps screen and the offending pictures, good luck

I have a evo 4g that I bought for a friend that was boot looping while updating to a stock ruu the battery died now the phone won't respond

My question is, Is there a way to recover this phone or is it a paperweight ?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenonV:
if its not hard-bricked...connect the phone and let it charge for about 20 mins. take out the battery, put it back. hold the volume down button while turning on the phone, if you can get to the white boot loader, this means you can recover the phone, you will just need the correct files. i can find those later, and you can use google, if somebody else isnt generous enough to help ya out ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmc98droid1:
I have the files but the evo won't even show the lights that it's charging so I charged the battery in a incredible I have and now I can't even get the phone to power on I think hboot might messed up

could i just have an issue with a bad battery ? the battery i have for the evo feels like it might have a bulge in it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
If you charged it in the incredible and it worked there, it should work in the evo. Have you tried the incredible battery in the evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koker93:
if you read threads for noobs about rooting their phones one of the first things you learn is to have a battery at 60% or better. Thats because flashing a file to the phone and having it die half way through kills it. You just learned a hard lesson, charge the battery first. If it wont go to the bootloader, its dead. If the battery works in the other phone, its not the battery. Sorry man, I'm pretty sure you're S.O.L. :(

Hi!

I am kinda new to rooting and flashing but have been reading alot lately so hopefully i'll learn some. :)

Anyhow, I was following the guide to root Motorola's Defy(I have a Defy Plus) posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1595013&page=1

Worked like a charm until I decided to install CM. Install seems to work fine but when I boot for the first time I always get this error:

err:A5,70,00,00,23 posted in the Bootloader 9.10.

From what I've read people claims it bricked then?

I have tried with both CM 7.1 and CM 7.2. Same results and same error-code. Seems to be no problem getting it back to shape by following the root-guide again though.

Just wanna get rid of ex. motoblur. :/

Anyone who has a solution. Couldnt post in that part of the forum since I was a new member here.

I haven't actually used it yet because there's no custom roms yet and i'm quite satisfied so far with the stock rom. I wanted root for Titanium and file access and to be able to install adfree on my phone, plus all the other advantages of having root to control the phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I have a couple questions regarding the ICS update, as I flashed FF18 One-click root last night.

1) What happened to the screen capture shortcut?

2) I know that the Data Roaming notifications are a little buggy, is there any way to permanently disable them? Either through removal of a apk file, or something else?

3) Is there a reason for such the quick battery drain? I had it charged to near 100 percent last night, so I unplugged it and left it connected to WiFi over night (that was ~7 hours ago). When I woke up, the battery level was at 52, and after 30 minutes of light use (browsing the web with chrome, looking at settings, and configuring tasker with an attempted "Theft Profile:) it was down to 38.

4) With ICS comes a new way to incorporate applications and what not, generally I like to remove as many homebrewed apps (like Social Hub for example) when I first flash the device. Is there a list of safe ICS applications to remove?

I am sure I will have some more questions over time as my dad gets the upgrade himself, he will be asking me questions as well, but those were the ones that were on the top of my lsit.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
1) it's power + volume down now, just hold it for 1 second.

2) I haven't gotten one yet since the update, but if they are like they were, there's that checkbox on the notification to permanently dismiss it

3) I had the same thing yesterday, on day 1 of my ICS update. Seems slightly better this morning, but we'll see... this morning I've used 6% of my battery in 34 minutes since unplugged, with about half of that time awake with screen on. One thing I'm suspicious of is the new Sprint ID switcher thing.

The good: Open it. Switch from "Samsung" ID pack to "My ID" pack. Bam. Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich launcher, no TouchWiz.

The bad: Download "Home Manager" app from Play market. Observe both "Launcher" and "TWLauncher" are running. ...and if you had a third party launcher like I do (Go Launcher EX), you probably ALSO see that one "running". You can use this app to kill the others, but it seems temporary, although I've been switching and configuring and have only used it 1 day. Having 2-3 launchers simultaneously seems like that could use a little more battery to me.

4) Can't tell you that, I'd think whatever the old GB list was would still be valid, as a baseline, and maybe you'll find more you can remove later.

Personally, I think the "better safe than sorry" route is to install a rooted kernel with a recovery, take a nandroid backup, so that if you delete an app that's "not safe", you can restore your nandroid and be back in business.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
1) Thanks, that was bugging me.

2) This is because I am in a low signal area and switching back and forth between towers.

3) I don't have an issue with the launcher (I also froze the TWLauncher application though):

I am hoping to run it down this afternoon and charge it and see how it goes from there.

Battery stats: http://imgur.com/a/7zLjf#71

4) Will just have to start freezing things and finding out what doesn't work I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
5) Is it normal for the apps to be randomly force closing, stalling, black screening, unresponsive? Unfortunately, I can't wipe dalvik cache without custom recovery (or if I can, I don't know how)?

It shows a blue line if the word is misspelled or it can't find the word in the dictionary, in the field the word with the three dots underneath is the correct spelling of the word it thinks you're trying to spell. You can either tap that to correct spelling or if auto correct is enabled when you hit space it will auto correct it to that word. If the word is so misspelled that there is no suggestions then it assumes the word you're spelling is either a pronoun or txt lingo. But I do agree there should be some option is have a line underneath any word that's misspelled or otherwise not recognized so you can review before sending the message.

This will probably resolve itself, but last night I went to bed at ~80% battery, watched a movie, and when it was done, the screen turned off as normal... and when I woke up, the battery was down to 25%.

I'm not a serious gamer but I did put my N7 through about an hour of some pretty intensive gaming and it got a little warm like any device but it was never HOT to the touch. Battery life on day 1 was a bit weak but thats because I was too excited and did not give the N7 time to fully charge before playing with it.

Yesterday it was fully charged at around 2pm when I unplugged it.

Went to the library for a little over an hour and mooched their WiFi then went to my friends house.. from 4pm till midnight we were abusing my N7 pretty much constantly... showing off GNow, Maps compass mode, sports scores etc and when I got home around 1am I still had 47%.

Granted, I didn't game at all yesterday or watch much video.. but it was still being used fairly constantly.
