I suggest using a text blocker and block all unknown numbers from texting u. It appears to be mass spam from an unknown source. Probably a text faker online. If worse comes to worse change your phone number

About a week ago I decided to root my phone. My goal was to get my phone to yakju by flashing 4.1 . After nearly bricking my phone, I eventually got there. What I want to do now is be able to receive OTA updates in the future. I understand that having CWM recovery installed will cancel these updates. Can anyone help me get rid of CWM without losing my data?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You need to flash the stock recovery back, which can be done via Fastboot. It won't wipe data.

You also need to make sure you have the proper bootloader and radio (which should've updated when you went to 4.1). Both need to be in place to receive and auto-install an OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomcintosh:
Thanks Marton.

I forget to mention that I'm a real n00b at all of this stuff,

I'm downloading the 4.0.4 "yakju" factory image from here. Is it ok to apply this using the wugfresh root toolkit? Once I flash the stock image I will be prompted to update to 4.1?

My phone details are attached. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
your already on 4.1.1 with correct radio.

Just flash the stock recovery using fastboot.

No need to flash 4.04 again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomcintosh:
Thank you!

I installed 4.1 using a toolkit and it wiped my data, but I didnt have much on there anyway.

I now have stock android 4.1, yakju, unlocked bootloader and not rooted. How can I root my phone from here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
uhh. You need to follow the same guide to root as always. You flash CWM, flash the su.zip and push the superuser.apk.

But I thought you wanted stock recovery? As I said before, you can just flash it via Fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
If you have adb already setup.

Adb reboot-bootloader. To get boot loader mode.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot reboot.

Recovery.img = stock recovery you can rename the file or use the exact name in command.

It will not wipe.

Yeh... don't know what I'm saying now :P

Im really annoyed that I have to write this...I had to get a replacement Galaxy Nexus and when I realized that my original one had a screen burn in problem...the replacement had a really bad blueish/purplish tint to it and so I sent in for a new one...and I got a new replacement that has the exact same issue as the last one.

Im seriously at a loss of what to do, because this is really annoying.

Should I get another replacement? Or is this screen issure normal?(I didnt have this problem on my original)

My friend told me to go down to the store and demand a brand new phone straight out of the box...he said it work for him once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] defconoi:
get the phone replaced again if its blueish purple under 30 percent or so, or try franco's kernel and app and adjust the gamma + contrast down, fixed it for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3ddyz:
I was sent a replacement refurb that had the tint problems, they then sent me a new boxed one which has been fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
There's a huge conversation about this literally two threads up. Keep exchanging until you get a good one. Be ready for many arguments over the phone, since Verizon and Google refuse to acknowledge that this is a problem.

How were you finally able to get them to give you a brand new one...the guy at the VZW store was hassling me and he said there is nothing he can do about it....then I called Verizon customer support and they told me to call samsung...Samsung told me that I have to send my phone to them for repair...but then I will be without a phone for a week

NONE OF THEM ARE LETTING ME GET A NEW PHONE!

This crap is so annoying.

I guess Im going to try to get one last replacement -_____- since they wont budge on giving me a new phone....the last option I have after that is sending it to Samsung for repair.

I am curious just exactly what is Busybox and what does it do for our rooted phones? I have it and I see that it seems to over write "code" but I am not sure just what it is for as it pertains to our phones. Is it something that has to be on the phone or is it optional etc? Can someone just explain it in plain terms?

http://www.busybox.net/about.html

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MXPS:
BusyBux basically adds a ton of standard linux/unix utility commands and shell scripts to embedded devices in order make the terminal more functional than the standard android terminal. If you are familiar with the linux/unix command line you will recognize a lot of these:

Hope that helps!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
Ok awesome so I guess the main thing Busybox is for use with Android SDK Tools? I mean we usually don't use terminal functions on the phone is that correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Great thread, I've always wondered what this was too! :-)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
SDK ,yes but terminal is also a very important tool to have. This early in development for our device its not used alot but as developement progresses youll find it being used more and more. Especially with kernels, a2sd scripts ,performance tweeks and whatnot.

Hi, How to disable vibrate when unlock milestone 2 ?
[Milestone 2 General] ajb12376:
:good:

On official stock roms you can't, I'm afraid - but you can get a lockscreen replacement app like GO Locker, Widget Locker and Nova Locker - think they all have the option to turn off the vibration. I'd recommend installing No Lock off the Play Store if you go for that option, stops the stock lockscreen coming up and being a nuisance.

Another option is to install a custom rom, or Argen2Stone

Edit: on second thoughts, if you install Spare Parts from the Play Store, uncheck the box for 'Use haptic feedback' or something, that might turn it off as well methinks
[Milestone 2 General] kinglau719:

[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I'm an old school mobile user, and actually, this is my first glass screened, capacitive mobile (other than a quickly returned Nook Tablet). When I first started reading about capacitive styli, I had to get used to complaints about friction and durability of the rubber versions. For my nook tablet, I made my own stylus out of a small flashlight (body) and some conductive foam (tip) from some old processor packaging.

Then I read about this conductive microfiber tipped one on the verge's most recent update to their styli mega post, the TruGlide. It wasn't their pick of anything, but it meets my wants and all the amazon and youtube reviews seem pretty psyched. It's supposed to be durable, soft and smooth and responsive. I'm pretty sure that's what I'm getting.

Anyone else got their eye on something interesting?
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I read some reviews on Android Central about two that I liked. One being the Wacom Bamboo stylus, which seemed to be the most balanced all around for everything. It wasn't quite as good for writing as the Adonit Jot Pro, but I also didn't like that the Jot Pro had a lot of sound when writing in print. I did like that both had replaceable tips. I'm planning on picking up a Bamboo, as it seemed to be the most balanced and incredibly durable with a great, premium feel to go along with my premium tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I just got the Amazon Basics Stylus: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GCJEZU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 it's about $10, has 4 stars and 600+ reviews. I've had Amazon HDMI cables in the past and they were pretty good. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I bought the cheapest no-name stylus for ~$3 and it's been great so far for some drawing in SuperNote, I'm not really using it besides that, but I don't see why it wouldn't be fine for general use.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I had an el cheapo one delivered with my leather case, and it serves rather commendably. I've lost it yesterday, so I'd better get my work bag overhauled and see if I can spot it in there. Otherwise, I hope that the lucky finder at least knows what it is and makes good use of it. :S
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
<trembles at the very thought of possible improper uses of it>
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
Ahahaha.

I think I'm going to order the Bamboo and give it a try. Maybe I'll order two and see which one I like better.

Well, if (s)he decides to stick it up his/her own behind*, for C's sake, let's have the movie posted to YouTube for all to see. At least I'd get a laugh out of it. (Your remark made me laugh as well; hadn't thought of that point of view. ;) )

Apparently The Verge has a huge list of stylii they review and constantly update. IIRC, the ranked the Kensington stylus pretty well and it's pretty cheap. You may want to take a look at their site for the full list.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
The verge link is in the first post for anyone interested.

My truglide is everything I'd hoped for. A very light touch is all that's needed, I never have to press and it never seems to not register. I got the short tether version, I might get spares for when I inevitably misplace it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I dont have much of a need for a stylus, but I do have one I made out of a cheap pen, some wire and a sponge. Works decent on my Atrix, so I figure it'll work fine on the Infinity as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KangLx:
I got one of those too and i love it. Smooth and TF700 is very responsive to it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
It's now $25?! I am hoping this is because it comes with a personal assistant to do the actual typing for you...
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
$25 for a stylus with a personal assistant that only types? I do not want to build myself a reputation here, but for so much overprice, she'll have to do more than that. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
I've used mostly Wacomb stylus due to just having them on hand and they work very well. Usually nothing too fancy, but they are solidly built with a degree of quality that isn't always found in the cheap ones.

Makes sense I guess, seeing how they've been in the business for quite some time with their touch/drawing boards.

I've bought a Belkin rubber-tipped stylus earlier today, and, like the el cheapo rubber-tipped one I had lost before, it is quite good. I am still deciding on which microtextile-tipped one to purchase, since they have a reputation to go that bit longer. I feel like ordering a bunch and picking my personal favorite and giving one away to my father-in-law. The rest will go in reserve, just in case I lose this one too... :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
So I looked up the link, and I might try yours. That's the kind of tip I was referring to; it's reputed to be mor immediate whe writing and drawing, and to glide over the screen more easily after longer periods of use|, whereas the rubber ones get schmutz on the tip and subsequently start to skip a bit, it seems. No idea if cleaning them regularly helps to any significant degree.

As usual, forgive my dumbness, but I know the tab ha gorilla glass, but I am just making sure..........

How are your "pens" with writing on the tablet and scratches. I am assuming they make these so that scratches are impossible?

I have never used one, thats the reason for this question but I will be using my tab at work for notes and such.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
They are soft smoothed tipped to prevent this. Even the plastic tipped ones pose little threat if used properly. I have the galaxy note and it cones with its spen which is a fancy name for stylus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
I used some monoprice ones I found: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=8842&seq=1&format=2

They were cheaper than the Amazon's essentials styluses and monoprice has their styluses well-organized so I could pick one with the features (length and tip) that suited me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I ran over the screen of my LG O2x with a knife with a lot of force, and it only left one scratch. ;) Really, a stylus is not going to damage your screen, as long as you clean it every once in a while.

I just received this elago stylus in the mail and I'm impressed. The stylus has a good weight to it and the rounded triangular shape means it doesn't rolls on a desk. Writing in supernote is very responsive and fluid. I see that the stylus is a dollar cheaper now too!

[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
Just received the New Trent two-pack Micro-Knit retractable stylus, and it is already, by far, the best stylus I've ever used. The tip uses a metallic fabric instead of rubber, but it's not scratchy at all. Feels like t-shirt cotton, actually. And man, it is smooth and CONDUCTIVE! I've yet to have a single mis-tap with this thing. Add in the retractable tip (perfect for tossing in a case or sleeve) and the fact that you get two of 'em (even if one is in the dreaded Apple white), and it's a no-brainer. I'm ordering an extra set, just in case. It's not the smallest tip in the world and may not be great for precision detail on a smaller phone screen, but for a table, it's absolutely perfect.

According to a Adonit Rep, it;s the Android Devs who are not implementing the SDK. Has anyone tried the standard Jot Pro? I know that it sucked bad on the Prime
[Asus Transformer TF700] pseudopsyche:
I picked up a Bamboo stylus, and I've been playing around with taking notes in the LectureNotes app. I'm not sure if I'm just not used to writing with a capacitive stylus, but it seems like this isn't all that accurate for note taking. I plan to use this in classes to take notes in lectures when school starts back up in September, but at the moment it seems like this stylus just isn't doing it for me.

Has anyone tried the Adonit Jot Pro with the Infinity with good results? I think it looks like the most accurate bet for writing notes with.

Also, any reports from those that ordered the BoxWave EverTouch? Is it fairly accurate while writing?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I also read something about a pen that had a side 'action' button on it, that when you pressed it (or held it) it would perform an alternate task (instead of making a line it might erase, bring up a menu, hold to drag, etc.) Does anyone know how that works? BT I would assume but it would be great to be able to do that on our tablets

Also, is the digitizer sensitivity matched in any way to resolution? Since we have a higher resolution than most tablets would the sensitivity be better and more fine grain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
How is writing with resting your palm on the tablet?

Is it recognized?

Or is writing not working then?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
Best deal on styli around. 14 styli (9 full size, 5 mini) for $13.95 (and free shipping with Amazon prime). 5 stars on Amazon with 274 reviews.

I've used Kingston, the Amazon basic and a few others ($10-$20 a piece type stylus) and for the price these simply can not be beat. Works perfectly in SuperNote (the only app I use for handwriting) and are precise enough to click small links on websites and works great for navigation throughout apps and websites. They're very sensitive, just need to be touching the screen to work, no pressure needed. The tips are a bit wide so if you're looking to do exact drawings or CAD type stuff they may not work for you but for all-around use, they're awesome.

I HIGHLY recommend them!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pseudopsyche:
Yes, the digitizer is supposed to be very good on the Infinity. Take a look at this comparison between the Prime, TF300, and Infinity: (apparently I can't post links yet, so just Google "android police transformer buyers guide" and look under the "Benchmarks" section for the comparison)

As far as the stylus you're describing, it sounds like the Adonit Jot Touch. Read the last few posts on the previous page of this thread (starting with post #27), as they discuss it a bit and provide a link to its product page.

This is handled on a per application basis. The application I've been using, LectureNotes, has several different settings for this depending on if your stylus and/or device is capable of tracking the position of the stylus. For the Infinity, however, I've been using heuristic palm detection, which kind of works. I'm still trying to tweak it to see if I can get it any better, but at the moment it seems to work at an acceptable level.

As far as I know, the Hand stylus (http://handstylus.com/) has the most narrow tip at 4mm. However, there have been reports that it requires a bit of downward pressure to function consistently. The aforementioned Adonit Jot is another narrow option, though I wasn't all that impressed with the performance even before the little plastic disc broke off mine.

Would you mind elaborating on your experiences with the Adonis Jot? I'm interested in possibly getting one for note taking during lectures for college this Fall. The only issues I've read is that sometimes it doesn't register properly, but apparently a little CPU thermal grease remedies that issue. And that some people had issues with it not sliding easily with certain screen protectors. What were your experiences with it in general and with the Infinity (assuming you owned it with this tablet)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
My experience was not with the Infinity, but rather the Acer A510. I had some pretty bad skipping, and if I'm being honest, I don't think I should have to add grease to a stylus to make it work, nor do I relish the idea of greasing up the device I plan on using on the screen of my tablet. Also, the stylus clicks every time it contacts the screen, which I didn't like. Almost felt like it might scratch the screen at any time. And the disc came off after basic use. Yes, it gives a very precise line, once you get used to the odd design, but it just wasn't worth the hassle. I use a New Trent with conductive mesh now, and love it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Just like to say, the infinity's digitizer is god tier. Its insanely sensitive, more so than an ipad (I've compared). Maybe the skipping was because of your tablet and not the stylus?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
You may want to check out the styli on this site: http://beststylus.com/ - their styli are some of the best I've used (granted I don't use it much, but it does work well). Their support is top-notch as well. My father was having some issues with neck pain at one point and this place went out of their way to send him (for free!) a telescoping stylus that made it much easier for him to use without pain.

Check them out and let me know if anyone else has any opinions on this place!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ethania:
Found this one from a swedish shop:

Phone Pen Duo

Pretty cheep. Good to try out if you are even in need of a sytlus.

Price transates to about 7£.

I'm very happy so far.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FrontRowJoe:
Agree about the digitizer being God-like on the Infinity, and that may have had some effect on the poor performance of the Jot with my Acer (though my other styli all worked just fine). However, the durability, grease, and clicking issues remain a problem for me no matter how good the digitizer is.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Looks like it has a conductive mesh tip like the New Trent model I use. If so, I agree: mesh tips are insanely conductive and glide VERY smoothly across the screen. It sounds like yours came with some pretty great service. Of course, mine cost a lot less. ;)
