Well got my phone replaced under warranty and that is the last time I ever touch that antenna port lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Good on ya! If it's coming new and not 'like new" for example, you might sell it and buy like a Nexus 4 or GS 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kuchar09:
It's a 'like new' certified one but screen and shell is spotless n looks brand new... I'd be all over a Nexus 4 if I wasn't on Verizon :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1454:
You know, that's how it is at every uni I have ever been too. I wonder if the uni doesn't block or pay the carriers to build towers just far enough away to where they don't have service there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Well campuses can be pretty big and yes, generally they don't allow companies to build cell towers on school property.. So I can see you having reception issues, especially in the middle of campus.

I'm hoping Verizon opts for a Nexus 4... I mean I guess it's more Google's decision, the Galaxy Nexus situation was kind of a mess, I mean what's the difference between a Pure Google GalNex and say, the Razr? Nothing, I have to root both to get the latest version of Android.

samsung sucks

Verizon Samsung products have insanely terrible reception. Agree with this post 100%

I do have multiple signal dropping issues, but i usually blame the ****ty brazillian carriers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
The funny part is that this gnex has slight better reception than my old HTC Thunderbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
My reception on my gnex is about the same as my thunderbolt... No complaints. I do know quite a few users on other carriers that curse Samsung, (mainly sprint, but sprint coverage is laughable outside major metropolitan areas, and in them too at times) but it really depends on location, tower distribution, and overall health of the device and components.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ompalompa287:
Okay so I'm currently running an ATT rom and radio combo. I want to first fully understand the difference between the two. I'm really unsure as to what the difference is and which one is better for what?

My next question is that if I am to switch from ATT to Rogers, do I just simply flash the new Radio and thats it? I've heard elsewhere that u must dial #*2.....something something and mess with the APN settings once u flash a rogers radio. What are the exact steps?

Also is it true that in order to get the capabilities to turn OFF LTE, I MUST switch to Rogers because it is "RAT Unlocked"?

Im having terrible service because I am in an LTE test site and I really want to turn it off and save myself the headaches from constant loss of data and reception.

I apologize for any repeated questions; I'm just trying to learn. I've attached my current build.

Thanks in advanced for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
I think yes roms are interchange but not all radios...and yes Rogers radio is RAT unlocked so you can disable LTE...which you can't do with att radios
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ooonimrodooo:
I posted this over in Q&A and I didn't get a response. But I thought maybe this was a question better suited here. I installed the free version of beweather on my phone. I love the weather animation videos for that app. So I got thinking. What if just I switched those videos with the stock HTC animations. I tried one and it worked! But the problem is, when the weather program opens, it starts with an image of the first frame of the stock video. Is it possible to change that image to the first frame of the beweather videos, so they can be switched out? Would this even be allowed on xda? Beweather is free, so Im not sure.

(Sorry, i'am bad in english)

Hello,

I download the rom AOSP (android-4.0.4_r2.1),

I followed this tutorial : http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

Can I run this rom in my Xperia S because this rom is not the stock rom ?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Refer to http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html

Therefore, the answer is "no" except you are able to modify code to make it compatible with XS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] c3ma138:
Ok thanks,

but where is the xperia s ics source code ?

I find the kernel code but i want the rom source code.

thanks again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] c3ma138:
This is very urgent please, where I can found the ICS xperia S sources ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
I don't think that Sony also releases their ICS firmware source code. AOSP source which is possible for XS is from FreeXperia team but they haven't public it yet until it is stable.

In addition, I don't know when they will release their source and please don't ask them because of the ETA rule.

PS. Anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

He's talking about the device tree and not only the kernel.

@OP: wait until team FXP release the sources, then someone will make an AOSP ROM for the S.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mischief316:
I've been trying to research this for a while now but can't seem to get straight answers. I am hoping the community here can help me especially if you guys have done it, or something similar.

I want to purchase the S3 and have it connected on prepaid, pay as you go with either ATT or Tmobile. I am leaning more towards Tmobile. I dont need any data packages mostly because i am around Wifi 95% of the time. All i need is to be able to get the cheapest pay per minute rate to make and receive calls and use the rest of the phones powers via Wifi. Seems like i can get the Pay as you go sim card from tmobile for free, but can i use that SIM card for the S3? i am pretty sure i need to cut it to size,but can it be done? do i need to get an unlocked GSM S3 for it to work, or will a tmobile S3 work? how about an tmobile S3 unlocked? I've read in some sites (conflicting reports) that if ATT or Tmobile find out you are using a smart phone on their pay as you go they can suspend your line?

please anyone with some concrete info let me know.

thanks!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neoslink1:
I think the SGSIII requires a premium data plan on both networks. If you tried to use a pay as you go SIM, they'd probably blacklist your IMEI. I would contact both carriers and ask to be sure.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnilss:
Hi!

I have a Samsung Galaxy SCH-I500 (also named as verizon Fascinate/Mesmerize) which i bought from Reliance in India. Everything has been working smoothly including 1x/3G data too on stock roms. But it was using android 2.2 froyo. Not content with it, currently i have flashed the TSM resurection 2.2 Rom with KGB kernel. Everything is working fine. But when i try to flash any rom other than Touchwiz roms, my data stops working. I have used the data fix files for ICS for verizon as well as non verizon (by massaint) but still it just does not connect. The Roms (have tried THS Bld 2, MIUI ICS, and AOKP M6) but with the same results.

My observation:

1) If i do not wipe data, cache & dalvik while flashing any Custom TW roms (like evil fascination, geewiz 2.8. or tsm res 2.2), I get 1x/3G connectivity.

2) If i wipe data, cache & dalvik while flashing any custom TW roms, I lose data connectivity on any above ROMs.

3) At any time if i flash back to Reliance stock roms I get back data connectivity again.

Due to this i am not able to flash any mtd based roms as it (i presume) wipes everything & hence i get no 1x/3G data.

PS: To enable 1x/3G data on stock rom (froyo) i have to go to settings-wireless & network -Mobile network-Reliance Netconnect (here i use Dial: #777; username: mobile no ; password: mobile no. Only then the phone connects to the Reliance data network.

Unfortunately, there is no such option to set the APN on any custom TW Roms and neither on AOKP/MIUI/AOSP ICS. Infact, i heard/read the APN settings cannot be changed on ICS roms.

Is there anything i can do about this.

Can anyone help me out with a solution for the same

Swapnil
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-L31:
You need datafix for gb by massaint for TW ROM

For ICS you need data fix ICS

Try this :

- Ask your operator how to update OTA either to activate or to update the prl.

- Try to re-inject your number. i'm not from us. in Stock ROM (Verizon) i still can use my data and call, even the provider is verizon. i assume you're using stock ROM not from verizon. try to restore to stock ROM verizon, and see if you can see the data. the patch is for verizon i think, not for your operator. i hope you get what i mean :D

*try to restore to stock Verizon and then inject your number. try if you can do workaround there, if you succeed, you can use the patch for sure.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnilss:
I have tried many times to odin stock eh03 from verizon but it always gets stuck at modem.bin and finally odin fails. I have tried it with other stock roms as well from verizon and different carriers with the same result. Somehow, I am not able to change my radio (modem) and it stays at stock reliance radio ie ek10. I have switched between many custom roms (froyo and gb too with the same radio without any problem)

I have asked this previously too but have not got an effective answer.

I have also tried both the data fix files on gb and ics as well but with no positive results. Also used apn backup and restore from market but even though it writes file settings to apns-conf.xml in /system/etc folder, I do not get 1x/3g data

That's right the tablet got a gsensor and another hotkey update. You will find these by running the windows update as the asus site does not show them.

Also if you get the latest bios of asus's website (701) which has support for windows 8 hotkeys you end up with a tablet that all the buttons work!!!

[Blade General] cyanide911:
So basically my old android died and I'm on a friend's Dell XCD35 (ZTE Blade) Gen2 now. I tried to listen to music with it with my brand new headphones, and the sound quality is really disappointing :(

Can this be something related to the stock ROM i.e. can something like this be fixed by a custom ROM? Because I've never noticed a huge difference in music performance across android devices, and the music in this Blade isn't up to the mark at all. Is there a ROM specializing in music (with something like Beats and xLoud) which might fix this? Or is the Blade known to have not-so-good sound quality?
[Blade General] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
No problem with sound quality from Headphones (I use a pair of AKG K77 to listen music) on both Gingerbread and ICS.

For your second question, there's a flashable zip for CM7-based rom (not sure if it works even on other roms) here for both xLoud and Beats audio, but I've always seen both of them as only a placebo, no real performance increase when I tested them.

[Nexus 7 General] ejohnson0547:
I have tried some of the custom launchers from the store but was not that impressed with them. I still like the performance of the stock launcher but I just wanted it to rotate the home screen and allow portrait or landscape mode.

Well I found out you can do just that.

You need to be rooted to do this. I am using a fully stock Nexus 7 just adding Root to it. Follow the other guides on how to do this.

Note: NEW info...

Just add the following line to the file "local.prop" located at "/data/local.prop"

If this file is missing, just create a new one. You DO need to be rooted to create or edit this file.

Use ES File Explorer, turn on Root Explorer and Mount File System in the settings.

Navigate to the folder "/data/"

Press Menu, New, File, then name it "local.prop" (without the double quotes).

Add the following line to it in the editor...

launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

Also change to Tablet UI

If you want the full tablet UI just add the following line also to this file:

qemu.sf.lcd_density=160

The qemu.sf.lcd_density overrides the setting ro.sf.lcd_density in the "build.prop" file.

Then reboot your device.

Old method

Note, this method makes it more difficult on re-installs and OTA upgrades, because typically the build.prop file is upgraded or overwritten each time also. The new method above is retained as long as you do not wipe data.

All you have to do is edit your "build.prop" file located at "/system/build.prop"

I used ES File Explorer to edit this file, just turn on Root Explorer and Mount File System in the settings.

Just add the following line at the end:

launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

Then reboot your device.

That's it! Hope this helps others.
[Nexus 7 General] kieronboz:
Confirmed :P
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
AWESOME!!! When I first did it, the rotation seemed a little hiccupy. Apps in the bottom disappeared and took a few seconds to reappear, but now its working fine. How do you figure this stuff out??

Edit: The play store doesn't really seem to like it now. Keeps acting weird. It wouldn't let me go anywhere else in the store while an app was downloading. Now that the download has stopped, its not glitching out anymore. I am trying to download another app, and while its downloading, it goes back to the earlier app that I was downloading and stays there. The screen is almost pulsating. Its hard to describe.

Second Edit: I force-stopped the play store and google play services, then rebooted. The glitch with the play store is now gone. But when I rotate from portrait to landscape then back to portrait, the apps disappear for a few seconds again and then reappear. Just an FYI.

Third Edit: Lock screen doesn't rotate.

[Nexus 7 General] _DrG_:
Anyone figured out if there is a similar hack for the lock screen?
[Nexus 7 General] Napalm2:
I originally used adb pull/push and it screwed up the permissions on the file. adb push set /system/build.prop to 0666 -rw-rw-rw- which stopped my Nexus 7 booting up. White bootloader google logo and then dead. Not even the nexus boot animation. Perhaps some security measure or something tried to modify the file. Either way, I restored the original file and set permissons to 0644 -rw-r--r-- and got it booting again.

Tried again, but this time I rebooted into CWM mounted /system and then adb shell and did echo launcher.force_enable_rotation=true >> /system/build.prop and rebooted. Perfect, we have rotating launcher.

This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

[Nexus 7 General] danifunker:
@OP

I figured out a way too allow users to update the device with this tweak setup, and think it is worthwhile to post in the original post...

Instead of putting the option into the build.prop, put it into a new file /data/local.prop

I have verified this works on my N7 tablet. We should look at using this file more often to avoid writing to the system partition, which makes it easier to do OTA updates.
[Nexus 7 General] ronf1011:
You don't need to root to get screen rotation on the home screen. Just download go launcher, its free and I like it, and the home screen will rotate. Just go to accessibility setting and mark off auto rotation, try go launcher-
[Nexus 7 General] shaneydroid:
Does that work without rooting then?

I have just rooted my new replacement purely to do the rotate :D
[Nexus 7 General] shaneydroid:
But launchers can bring their own problems and bugs.

For those who like the stock launcher (like me) I have found problems with most launchers.

Apex has a tablet style interface, nova has horrible blue outlines when scrolling screens, go launcher just doesn't match.

Holo launcher HD is about the closest thing to stock launcher and seems to work well but animations often jump.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

I have found with this build.prop mod, there is often a delay when switching from landscape to portrait.

Sometimes a couple of seconds and sometimes it won't switch back until I wiggle the nexus about a bit.

<EDIT>

Nevermind, turns out I have a wonky accelerometer :(
[Nexus 7 General] danifunker:
I'm not sure, you could try to make a default.prop file and send it through ADB to the /data folder.

Usually you don't have view access to the /data folder, but you might be able to do the adb push command.
[Nexus 7 General] frankusb:
adb cannot setprop or push to the data directory without root.

[Nexus 7 General] hoponpop:
I just tried this on my nexus s. seems to work like a charm, except some of my widgets get cut off after rotation. how will this affect ota updates?
[Nexus 7 General] danifunker:
The lockscreen hack is different, it needs to be set in the framework-res.apk file,which is only compatible with de-odexed ROMS.

The framework lockscreen rotation setting is build into the framework-res.apk file. In res/values/bools.xml. on line 35 you should see "config_enableLockScreenRotation" is set to false.

I can live with the stock build.prop file, and the changed local.prop file with root. I hope google releases an updated version where the launcher and lockscreen rotate automatically.
