[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I agree..although I used to think aosp was ugly I find myself now a little envious of the gnex even knowing I have superior hardware..these jumps in firmware are very hard to distinguish with a heavy sense overlay..vanilla android has matured and I think the need for skins has diminished..although it seems OEMs are going in the opposite direction..why can't we have a device like the LTE running vanilla..it would be sick..and my next device certainly will be the nexus variety provided sprint doesn't wait 6 months after initial release to drop it..ie galaxy nexus
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
I think that the GNex is a great phone.

But I won't mind waiting for a good, plain Android to come later while I enjoy this awesome screen earlier.

Looking forward to a nice CM or AOKP, and meanwhile using the Nova launcher and laying out my apps and widgets.

I don't know about others, but I am not liking every Google decision, e.g., notification and ringtone volume locked together.

There's a lot about Sense that doesn't suck at all, the Clock app, Mail, the settings layout, and a few other things.

Imo.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
OK to use USE 3.0 speeds if I understand this, you need:

- a USB 3.0 port on your computer

- a USB 3.0 cable

As far as I know, you do NOT need a 'USB 3.0 device'. So we could transfer data faster on our Xperias using the above? I'm about to get a new laptop and will definitely aim for USB 3.0 if this is correct. Then you just need to buy a new micro USB 3.0 cable, like on eBay or something, true? Anyone done this yet? I'm browsing on eBay for a new cable, but the micro USB 3.0 end piece does not look like the one for my phone now. e.g.

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/USB-3-0-8-Pi...USB_Cables&hash=item2eae4dca6e#ht_2370wt_1270
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sidkota:
USB 3 DOES require a USB 3 compatible device... i.e. USB 3 compatible devices on both ends...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
Ah this is annoying, the first place I read it said you don't need a 3.0 device, the second place I read it said it works as fast as the slowest device - which could be 2.0. Info. is a little sparse on this, isn't it? But it's been in for a few years. Is it really worth getting 3.0 if adoption is so slow?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
No, because our devices have only microUSB v2.0, so we can only have the speed of USB 2.0.

You can try, but you won't get more speed out of it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] z1WV:
You can use usb2.0 cable without problems, USB3.0 standard is backwards compatible with usb 2.0. You should probably get faster charge times with USB3.0 because of higher rated mA on ports...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
I like the sound of that!

I have heard of many problems with USB 2 devices in 3 ports. Driver issues apparently.

I look forward to phones which support USB 3 because that's now a missing link the chain - the computers selling now have the ports. I was a bit doubtful of the 'real' benefits of the speed (I was quite young when USB 2 came in) but my God, it is fantastic. I backup my hard drive frequently and I am amazed at the speed every time. :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prophete_be:
Hi,

the only problem you can have by using USB3.0 port for your smartphone, it's a driver problem.

For the speed of transfert, you need USB3 port, USB3 cable and... USB3 device :).

The connector of USB3 (device side) is different from USB2 and I never saw USB3 cable with micro port (used on our smartphone).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
It's a shame, I can't wait for USB 3.0 phones! I didn't care much about until I got my first USB 3.0 hard drive...wow
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] quarterfeet:
but why need usb 3.0?

the best would be a class 10 sdcard -- so writing files into the phone's memory card is faster.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thewhitewolf89:
10 sd will be enough
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SharpnShiny:
Yep ultimately I would prefer to use a phone's flash memory. I've experimented with music library management on Android but I for my next option I think I'd go with an iOS device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensingtn5:
After my Verizon GN got the 4.0.4 OTA update a while back I noticed a new unlocked padlock icon on the Google boot screen. I have a weird way of noticing slight changes on my phone and am positive that was not there before the update pushed. I also have not had the time yet to fiddle with my GN, so have never rooted or unlocked it.

What does that icon mean? Is my bootloader unlocked and can that happen as the result of an OTA update?

And more importantly, I'm thinking about filing an insurance claim on my GN and getting a replacement. Will it void the warranty/ insurance if I'm unlocked?
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
Hi all,

So I found this script which, as far as I can work out, is supposed to re-introduce the rotating buttons feature on the Incredible S, for ROMs which don't normally have that support (i.e. MIUI).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21048049&postcount=146

Thing is, I tried flashing the .zip file via recovery and nothing has changed. I'm not sure if I've installed it incorrectly (I can find the script in /system/etc), whether the script only works for Sense based ROMs (it was taken from the Virtuous Quattro thread), or what?

Any assistance would be appreciated :)
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
This will only work for Virtuous Quattro, there is something in the framework calling the script in the zip which isn't present in any other ROM (unless it is a rip of virtuous quattro)
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
I see, that makes sense. I don't suppose there would be any way someone could add back in that 'something' to a ROM, or to manually run the script via a third party bit of Software (i.e Tasker) or something? The non-rotating buttons have always been a bit of a bug-bear for me...
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
You can. but it requires decompiling the systemui. This should help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1711537&highlight=backlights
[HTC Incredible S] dCode16:
You can run the script using init.d support. When the system initializes, you can start this script.

This however has an issue that it continuously polls the device brightness and orientation and sets it to the softkeys. This maybe a little harsh on the battery life.

The other approach (as linked by l0st.prophet) is where the application subscribes to events and when display is on / off or rotated, it gets the trigger to set the softkeys. This is better on the battery but maybe slow to start (when phone boots) as this runs as an android application.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
The problem is that your phone has hardware damage on the eMMC (the flash storage) now, which can't be fixed.

There's a few workarounds (read the threads about the "leak brick bug") but none of them really work out nicely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben cole:
I also cannot do a factory reset.

I'm pretty sure I've never had this 4.0.4 leaked firmware installed. I've only installed 3 or 4 roms, all of which are the most popular ones on this forum.

Even when doing the reset from CWM the phone just goes into a boot loop at the startup screen.

I can restore to stock using MY backup but I want a clear phone for sale. I would try flashing a stock firmware using odin but I can't get hold of the firmware (every link goes to a download site that won't allow me to download it!!!!).

Any suggestions?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Whats strange is that it shows the "sdcard" when I am using the stock internal mem. I don't have any SD in there yet. I suppose it's picking up the internal memory as SD, but for whatever reason the memory size seems to be constantly changing. I'll try that and see what happens.

your external would be Ext card under the Mnt Folder.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malaspina_speaking:
All credits go to ginodp and the users he mentions for finding the solution for a similar problem on the Desire S. Here is the link to the original thread.

The problem: An awful lot of HTC Desire phones have a malfunctioning proximity sensor which constantly reads 0.00 cm i.e. complete obstruction. This causes the phone to blank out the screen during a phone call but never light it up again. Trackball wake and other methods generally don't work; inserting a headset sometimes works, but obviously it's not a workable solution.

The solution: The solution is disabling the proximity sensor. To do this you will need a rooted phone. Edit the file \system\build.prop with any editor that has been granted Superuser permissions by adding the line

gsm.proximity.enable=false

at the end of the file. Done! now the phone's proximity sensor is disabled and the screen will not blank out during a call, enabling you to end it at will.

I don't understand how to do that, could you give me a noob-proof rundown? Sure thing!

1. Have rooted phone.
2. Download BuildProp Editor from Google Play.
3. Press "get su prompt"
4. Gran Superuser permission.
5. Press menu, Add property.
6. In "Type in keyname" type gsm.proximity.enable
7. In "Type in value" type false
8. Press "Save value to file".
9. Reboot phone to let changes take effect. Done!

Any further questions or ideas on how to make this easier or better are much appreciated.

Again, all props to original finders!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reb0rn:
Yeah well why don't you try to enter a number after the screen goes dead for automated services that depends on it...

This is meant as a fix for ppl that have faulty proximity sensors. Not for fully functioning phones.
