I feel like jumping off the soak test train. Sitting around stock waiting for my phone to chime and ask if i want to download is starting to drive me crazy. The improvements in ics are really obvious once you flash back. By the way my clock speed dropped back too. I want to play with new stuff in my very limited free time. Google now and scv7.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ajfink:
Could be. It might also just check for stepping/revision microcode, and if the CPU matches those they feel can do 1.2Ghz, they enable it. From their end and from a setup speed time, this would be a more efficient solution. A stress test would be broader and include more devices, though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zapper_master:
I can't wait for the update and then an easy root of the update :o
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Just use OTA rootkeeper. People say it worked on the look so it should work hopefully on the final release.
[Motorola Atrix 2] davezaff:
Had to install the leak.....im not one of the grasshopers that have patience.....so i Had to walk the plank of the soak boat and into to the sea of ics. But hopefully rhe soak comes soon....its been two weeks since the first invites started so hopefully by months end.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A1deN:
That would be tight but it doesn't say confirmed, so the way I see it its just a possibility. Where did this even come from?

Sent from my Atrix 2 on the ICS Leak running SCv7.
[Motorola Atrix 2] davezaff:
Most soaks test come 2 to 3 weeks after the registrations begin... what do you mean whete did it come from????.

And it is confirmed for q3
[Motorola Atrix 2] aabaaf:
Ok, well it's been at least 2 weeks, since the first of us got the message about SOAK Testing starting. Any updates? If MOTO discovered a problem with ICS files they're working with, then why don't they send out an e-mail blast to those that they sent the invite to, saying, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, testing has been delayed, while we strive to bring the BEST, testing experience for our users. Testing will begin soon"
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Because it's Motorola, that's why... :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Um, did you think about who you were referring to, before you typed this out.... LOL...

This is Motorola you are talking about here. They are one of, if not the worst communicators ever, when it comes to their customers.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
At least they eventually update their devices. LG is worse about communicating and very rarely, if ever, update the firmware once a device is released. Be thankful you are getting ICS. The LG G2X (similar tech inside to Atrix 4G) got EOL'd and will never get an official ICS update.
[Motorola Atrix 2] aabaaf:
Actually to those that responded I did. It was more of a "rant", like those saying things about the unlocked bootloader requests, etc..........
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
Writing firmware for ICS has been a challenge for all the hardware manufacturers getting it to work with their existing hardware. That is why it has taken a while and some mfrs just outright cancel the project saying shoehorning ICS into their device is simply not feasible. Newer devices were designed with ICS in mind so the hardware is more suitable to getting ICS up and running on the newer platforms. Just be patient and our beloved soak will begin soon. That is of course, Moto finds a major bug and has to rework the code some more. Nobody wants a buggy phone. Plus Google just laid off a bunch of the Moto employees, so let's cut them some slack and be thankful that we will be getting ICS within a couple of weeks to a month, hopefuly. People rant and rave not even stopping to consider for a minute how difficult programming an Android rom is. It takes teams of people collaborating with the cpu, radio and other hardware chip makers to get it all working and gettng ICS compatible device drivers. It really is a very difficult juggling act and very time consuming process.

I just read this online

thedroidguy.com ++++++ /2012/08/motorola-droid- ++++++ 4-ics-update-on-its-way/

(Sorry kinda new to xda and cant post links yet)

If the droid 4 is getting the update, is the update for the A2 also on its way soon-ish?

I personally am tired of GB and I am seriously considering installing the leak, but with the OTA update so close i dont know what to do... any suggestions?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The leak is alright to flash not that Jim has written the script to get back to GB. If it weren't for him, we'd be in the dark ages, or the caveman era- whichever one had no phones, only bricks...
[Motorola Atrix 2] asdf20:
I suggest you wait for the official OTA from Motorola....even I am eagerly waiting for it...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mrJackiLL:
Greetings from Ukraine. I received the MFN's "Welcome to the ATRIX 2 Update Soak" letter on July 29th and nothing changed from that time. Any news about ICS testing?
[Motorola Atrix 2] leifemagnuson:
I got the survey then three or four days later got an email telling me to make sure i was stock be before they updated there imei list. Ive been sitting stock for a week with nothing new. I figured i got bumped.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gabo_e30:

I agree... Jim and all the A2 devs are doing miracles working with so little... Im gonna install the leak right now and then test scv7.

Thanks so much to our devs!

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

But now we could get back to stock GB and then update like everyone else or is there a catch? :confused:

Last post about this here from me... ill take it to the leak forum.

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah, that is the thing, we are not sure yet. Until we get the OTA and can play with it, or even the soak files, we still don't know. So if it comes down to it and you install the leak, and can't install the OTA; then you will have to wait while we (your devs) figure out how to make it work for those on the leak.
[Motorola Atrix 2] freshbakd:
So trying to be patient and wait. This thread was started July 28th so im hoping soon.

The Motorola Droid 4 soaktest emails started arriving August 6th( http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-4/198157-droid-4-beta-testing-ics.html) and they just started the ICS update.

I know why they are delaying the update .the leak is so good it put this phone on par with the new offering.

I'm tired of waiting also, but I'm afraid to install the leak. I am in Thailand so if I brick my phone I'm SOL.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ajfink:
Absolutely not. Never another Motorola device until bootloaders come unlocked.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jswiss8608:
I got my invite with the survey back on August 7th, and have not heard anything since. I filled out the survey same day, and I am hoping to be part of the SOAK. I am so tired of waiting this is getting ridiculous. I would just say hell with waiting and install the leak, but this is my only phone and I need it for work, so I cannot take the chance of bricking it. I think my next phone will be Nexus since they never really have to wait for updates.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jboxer:
I got mine on July 28th and I had to respond by July 29th. I fully expected the soak test to have occured and be done by now. They must have either found a major bug or decided not to update the AT&T version since it has been EOL'd recently.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
What really sucks is you guys that agreed to participate are back on GB stock waiting for them to push the update...damn Moto!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] ajsedlacek:
Exactly, sick of 2.3.6 and being stock. Plus the recent cutting of fat at Moto may now be affecting our soak test and subsequent official OTA. From info on one of the threads on Moto's official forums, one or both of the admins who are also employee's are going to be let go or reassigned. The two that ran the forum, Mark and Matt, were responsible with getting people signed up for the SOAK and sending out the correspondence and communication to people that signed up. I believe they were on their dev team as well.

Hopefully speaking about fight club on here didn't get me kicked out of fight club.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Um, no mark and matt are not part of the dev team at moto. They are basically "representatives" or marketing people, however you want to think of them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Did they have a soak at all?
[Motorola Atrix 2] matb321:
Ok. It looks like according to the Droid 4 forum thier soak got pushed August 13th.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
August 13 is over. And they already have ICS. So things are a bit unclear.
[Motorola Atrix 2] freshbakd:
Wait so your saying that it was all done in a week while it's been weeks for us
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
I had went back to stock so if i was chosen i could get the files to the devs. I got sick of waiting so im back on the ics leak. Moto is not in a big hurry with this phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2noob:
This is really sad that we are waiting this long for a soak test

[HTC Salsa] iCaal:
So I looked at the HTC article of who's getting ICS and Salsa wasn't, but Desire C does. There reason for not updating it is because ICS requires more than 512mb RAM... The same amount of RAM on the Desire C! And we have a faster processor bigger screen and more internal storage! So I email them with this contradiction and get back something along the lines of, we only update our phones if it will improve the user experience...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Hey guys, I was wondering if Sony's audio drivers can be brought over to CyanogenMod/AOSP/AOKP/etc. I just find the audio to be really lacking with the open-source drivers. Any help would be really appreciated, because the only thing keeping me away from non-stock-based roms is the audio. I especially don't want to miss out on CM10 once it's stable.

If it's anything like how the touchpad drivers are set up, now that those have been figured out, it should just be pulling certain .so and other files right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Sony uses proprietary drivers in their .so files, which leads to bootloops.

[HTC One S] dillinga:
Hi Guys,

I'm very new to this scene and have already started experimenting with ROMS (running Leedroid at the moment). I've just had a quick play with Coldblooded CM10 and love it but I'm intrigued about the current 'broken list'.

Is this just the way it goes with ROM Development on a new device that it goes through multiple iterations until the dev engineers a fix to all the issues? Does it make any difference when HTC for example eventually release the kernel source (which I assume they will once the official JB release comes out). I'm guessing stuff like the headphone issue/in-call echo will be 'fixed' in the official release from HTC so could be implemented in existing ROMs?

Hope that makes sense and I haven't just broken a load of noob xda rules....

Thanks
[HTC One S] PC Jona:
basically a rom is never really finished.

theres always something to be ironed out or a bug that needs to be squashed. or sometimes its just enhancements,

but yea like you said until htc releases the source then stuff wont be 100%
[HTC One S] encho:
Even when they do release the sources, there's still lots of things that potentially might not work.

Like take for example CM9 (ICS based) - although there are kernel sources out already for HTC's ICS, a bunch of things are not yet working. You can blame that on closed-source drivers, like wifi or camera, etc.

So it might take a while for everything to work properly, but as long as we have dedicated developers like xkonni, intervigil, etc, there's nothing to be worried about.
[HTC One S] dillinga:
Nice thanks guys that makes sense. I just assumed that things like drivers could be poached and reused but I guess a lit of that is part of the sense framework.

I look forward to seeing what happens

[HTC One V] Burlingtonrox:
Right now i'm looking into remapping the buttons on my One V. When I look into atmel-touchscreen.kl and himax-touchscreen.kl under /system/usr/keylayout/, I see that the search button is mapped to "key 217". I curious to what action key 217 is actually mapped to, as I've tried long pressing and combination pressing every thing on the phone.

Could someone enlighten us on the mysterious key 217?
[HTC One V] jetfactor:
i'd like to know as well!

[HTC One V] MonsterNo7:
Do any of the other One series phones have a search key? Maybe they forgot to remove that line? Just an idea.
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
Key 217 doesn't apply on our phone as it doesn't have a search button.

Just some redundant code probably.

In phones with a search button, you can remap key 217 i.e. the search button, to the recent apps or the power button or whatever...

[HTC Sensation] AdilJawad:
Dear All,

Few months back, i posted one thread in which I told that I have bricked my Sensation XE and unable to get it back. I was forwarded some helpful links and out of those links, i found one link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23078349) which i found useful and started working on it. I was able to go pass the first command, but once I am on the second one (sudo ./emmc_recover --backup b_hboot.img --device /dev/sdX12) i get the error "emmc_recover: command not found" though i am in the same folder where i have unzipped the files.

Need your support that what could be the issue that I am getting such an error. I have tried searching over the internet to find out if I am making any mistake while writing down these commands but unsuccessful.. :(

Kindly, if anyone has tried it and have been able to go pass through this, then kindly help.
[HTC Sensation] AdilJawad:
I got through this COMMAND NOT FOUND error by changing the rights for this file.. but now em getting this error...

root@ubuntu:/media/DATA/HTC Unbrick# sh ./emmc_recover --backup b_hboot.img --device /dev/sdd12

./emmc_recover: 1: ./emmc_recover: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

What could be the possible reason of this syntax error? I have entered all sorts of combinations but all useless. Any help!!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you some how changed that file ..

redownload the emmc_recover file ..and change the permissions using this way

go to the folder where you downloaded the emmc_recover file

then

chmod 777 ./emmc_recover

then do as the guide says
[HTC Sensation] AdilJawad:
No use

I Tried doing this but still the same issue. BTW I changed the permission of file in the same way before... So how can that change the file? Secondaly, i still tried doing it but still no use...
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Then the problem lies with the file itself or the download is corrupted.. Any ways you got your device from brick_detect.sh that's good news.. Means it's recoverable

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] AdilJawad:
Yes dear, i too hope its recoverable... Now what I need is the download file. Can you please guide me the location where I can find the un-corrupted file..?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
wth i just saw your command again ..why are you typing sh ./emmc_recover ?

it should be ./emmc_recover

please follow the guide to the letter ..you should not make petty mistakes like that ..during unbricking ..as it might hard brick in the process
[HTC Sensation] AdilJawad:
As told earlier that without sh its giving COMMAND NOT FOUND error that is why em using this sh along with this command..
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
nono ..once you do a "chmod 777 ./emmc_recover" it will become executable

then

you just need to cd to that folder

and do ./emmc_recover blah blah blah (and that should run it )
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Start fresh.

rm everything related to unbrick.

redownload & extract to home

then:

su

chmod +x brickdetect.sh emmc_recover

Check the unbrick thread for further commands.

Don't modify any of the commands, use them as they are given.

Just change sdX to whatever node you get from brickdetect (for example: sdb) & pyrV.VV to whatever hboot version you get from hexdump (for example: 1.27)

I'm in the process of making a video for the same, will link once it's done.

[Asus Transformer TF700] HowardZ:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can one buy a Verizon USB stick and then have cell data service on the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
It is not a stupid question. But... If you have a VZW LTE device and you have the share everything plan, you do not need the device since you will save a lot of money if you simply tether using wifi share under you share plan (which does not cost more). If you do not have a share everything plan, you can still save a lot of money of you download fox-fi for free and use it with your unlimited plan (Notice: this violates the VZW contract) or pay $15 a month for the right to tether. Either way, you save money by not having to purchase a USB device and paying the monthly line fee.

Hope this helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HowardZ:
That is a good alternative, but it includes paying for a cell phone or Teather device, its contract with Verizon, and keeping it charged.

I think the TF700 has a USB port. But does the Verizon stick require Windows? Will it even work on android?

perhaps nobody has been trying to do this.

thanks,

Howard
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
It does have a USB port, but I do not think 1) it can power the modem, 2) it supports the drivers of the USB modem, and 3) there is an app that talks to the modem. Short answer is, highly unlikely that it will work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HowardZ:
That is disappointing, because a tablet with cellular data service, plus Bluetooth, plus Skype or Google voice could be a do everything device. it would also be cell company independent if one can always switch USB stick to another cell phone company.

Perhaps a windows 7 tablet is what is needed for this scenario? I'd prefer Android.

Regards,

Howard
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
I completely agree with you. That is why I think that the Surface (WIntel 8) devices will be very successful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
If you want it all in one, have you thought about getting a 4G version later this year?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I have a feeling that most people that have a Transformer, also have some sort of cell phone. I think that most people just prefer to tether if needed, which is probably why this is not something that is available (yet, at least)...

I could be wrong, but I woulnd't think there wouldn't be much demand for this type of setup...
[Asus Transformer TF700] perlmane:
While you may be right, the battery of the device providing the tethering does suffer from battery drain, so an internal 4G LTE modem would be nice to have, but it appears that you are right about the popularity of such a feature. I believe I read that the XOOM WIFI outsold the XOOM that came out first with VZW due to the lower price. I had the VZW XOOM, but to be honest, I usually used it on Wifi, hardly ever using the built in 3G/LTE, I understand why people would want to have a USB modem so that they could use any Cellular carrier regardless of the device they want to buy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HowardZ:
Archos tablets have an optional USB stick for 3G GSM cellular connectivity.

However it is for european use only.
