You can bank on an unofficial build coming before an official one when the new Android version is only weeks old %100 of the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] option94:
More acurstely, you can expect an unofficial before an official 100% of the time unless you have a nexus.

You don't need to have the gmail app to setup a google account...

Just go to settings>accounts & sync, and then add google account...

Hi!

I try it but I can't it. There isn't google account in the list. Only one possibility the new exchange server.

I have a noob question

Im with a neo v with A.0.62 firmware

Which cannot be rooted

But i have already unlocked bootloader

what can I do now?

If i directly flash in JB Kernel and rom, will I be able to have root permissions? Do i even need to care about my .62 firmware if i want to go into CM10?

What should i do? Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
You will need to root your phone first. Installing a custom ROM won't automatically give you root acces. In fact, I don't think you will be able to install a custom ROM without ClockWork Mod Recovery which needs root access first. Follow Sony's own rooting guide here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0. Then install X-Parts from the Play Store to get CWM.

Once you have CWM you can install any appropriate custom ROM you like.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wilfacts:
Oh is that gonna be painful

Iv unlocked bootloaded with .62 firmware

So i cant get to official ics and stucked with the .62, flashing an older firmware for the root is risky? After that i have to go back to .62 again?

so confused :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
AW: [NOOB-GUIDE][ALL IN ONE GUIDE][NEO V]Xperia Neo V PREPARING PHONE AND PC FOR ANY

Use flash tool and an ftf file to update to ICS. You can go with 0.587 version for example.

After update as you are on unlocked bootloader you should flash a custom ICS kernel like suave, night elf or any other ICS compatible. This will give you root and cwm.

Look at the stickys. You will find all you need.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
You can always relock the bootloader (don't know what method you used to unlock, so can't advise on how to relock - I only know how if unlocking was done through Sony). Update the firnware to stock Sony ICS using Sony's PC Companion. Then root it using Sony's rooting guide. After rooting you can unlock the bootloader again. Install X-Parts and CWM. Then try out the custom ROMs+kernels to your heart's content.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
Could you share how? I've heard if its officially unlocked, you cannot lock it again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
On the other hand,unlocking via official method gives you an easy option to Relock bl via flashtool!

There's a thread by Blagus on how to do that!

Btw even Relocking via setool is an option for unofficially unlocked bl users!

So there's always an option!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
If this is what you're talking about, I've read it. But will it allow me to use the PC Companion and receive updates(Although I hardly feel there's going to be more than 1 update)/ Go back to official Sony ROM?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
Yes. That's the tutorial I'm talking about. I only mentioned what I did because I've done it before. After relocking use PC Companion to update your phone. Or the Sony phone repair program. I don't remember which. If you try both (like I did) one (or both) of them will work. But still you are out of warranty. You know that, don't you?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BlitzBerg:
Basically its all about DRM loss. What do I exactly lose? Only trackid? I suppose the newer versions run on unlocked bootloaders as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
I think you are right. It's basically about losing DRM. I don't know what it is and of what use it is. All I know is I've never missed it. If you are into trying out custom ROMs then unlocking the bootloader is a must because certain custom ROMs need custom kernels. To install custom kernels you must have an unlocked bootloader.

Hey guys I have had a lot of fun with the Galaxy Player Community and I would love to say thanks to all the great developers like Rueben, tsunura, and Supermaster who have put out amazing ROMs and have been overtly helpful. But the time has come and I need to move on. I was really hoping to assist or independently develop a ROM for you guys before this event happened....But less fate had other plans:(...

Anyway as the title says I will be selling my Galaxy Player, and if any of you are interested here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140808670010?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

However, fear not:cool: I will still be hovering around the Galaxy Player Forums and assisting you young lads and maidens in your quest for technological development. And if the time is right, I will put out at least 1 ROM for all of you to enjoy.

Anyway I would just like to thank all of you in the Galaxy Player Forum, you all have been amazing....Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] wtfsaywat:
Yeah if you buy it from the official Samsung site it is $230. But since I am including accessories such as an invisible shield that has already been installed I'm hoping to get at least $210.

condition at that time for the same price. I just checked again today and they have another one listed as

Used - Like New for once again $148.03. What is strange they have another one listed in the same condition

$189.05. And many listed as Used - Good or Very Good in the $179-$185 range.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] wtfsaywat:
I'm including some extra cables and an invisible shield full maximum which was $20 dollars so if the price range is $179-185 the price of the invisible shield bumps it up to $199-205. So if I offer it at the price you gave I will basically be ripping myself off, considering I have the invisible shield and other extras.

Hi,

With a rooted stock Telstra Au MZ601 running the recent ICS 4.0.4 there is no longer the 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' feature in the Gallery.

This was a handy feature for me. Does this work for anyone else? Is it working in the EOS ICS or JB rom?

I pushed picasasyncadapter.apk from another rom - this gives the option but still no joy.

Anyone have a solution? I don't use Google+ if that's relevant

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burning_afd:
hello everyone.

I'm using andyx firmware v15 and taking my attention that battery dies too fast and phone feels lagging at times.

So i want to go back to the stock firmware and use a rooted stock firmware. but i have a couple of questions:

1) i dont really know which pda or country's firmware i have to use.bought my phone from poland and living in turkey now. can i find out which version the phone originally came with from the box or anywhere else?

if using any firmware wont matter, is there any particular one i should use? maybe getting the newest updates before the ones?

2) is the version 4.0.4 safe to use? my friend suggested me to use that one but i'm a little pissed off after reading the brick stories about it.

3) also someone else told me to flash stock firmware then go for the siyah kernel. whats the benefit for that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
1) there are no particular firmwares. Try out different firmwares on whatever suits you best. I suggest you go up for Gingerbread because of its stability and battery life. But if you want to be updated on the trending things, go for ICS.

2) i suggest you go for custom roms with 4.0.4 as a basis.

3) siyah kernel MAY be a suitable kernel for you, but then again, it could be different. Try out different kernels that best suits you:)

-Try the search button for further info so you could get a variety of comments from users. Happy flashing :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burning_afd:

but i think i couldnt explain the first question. what i'm asking is which country's firmware should i install for my phone?

turkish, poland or another country's?

Use CheckFus to find the latest firmware for your phone and flash it with ODIN.

To root your phone just do some reading. There are quite a few methods described here, some are easy, some are more complicated. In the end choose one that corresponds to your needs and skills.

Ive just done what you were asking for similar reasons. I went on to samfirmware site and picked latest and safest ROM. Then on to chainfires thread for the insecure kernel to root my S2. (thanks to chainfire) No a difficult task just read before flasing and make necessary back ups. All tbe best.

Guys, i would like to share with you a piece of info. Apple has acquired a few patents related to Android. What's the relation? Android has infringed 9 patents of Apple and 2 from Microsoft. This will cause Android mobile producers to stop device production. So, what are the patents infringed?? Well i only saw 2. It is the multi-touchscreen of Apple's patent and some other thing... i forgot.

This info is from some part of xda... i forgot... :)Google it. Its based on somethingarena.com... so maybe android will die out.

Anyway talking serious now, I really doubt Android will come to an end, at least involuntarily. Google is extremely powerful! It's not some patent infringement that will stop it... They probably have the best lawyers, and strong arguments.

One thing, I have some thoughts that maybe Google will discontinue Android, but maybe after 3 future successful years, to crest another new OS, which will have backward app compatibility with Android... Sounds crazy yeah? Anyway that's my thoughts lol :P
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
When Apple uses its patents, Android will be like, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED :)

Hello,

I am french and I run the official stock JB release. I tried to use Google Now and thought I would be able to ask questions and my answer would then be spoken like I saw on youtube videos, but it's not the case ...

All it does is display the answer, but does not speak like SIRI does ... I downloaded the french voice pack, I activated voice everywhere in JB, but still does not talk ...

I then tried in english but still no voice !

Am I missing something ? Is Google Voice only a pre-release and will only be speaking in futures releases ?

EDIT : it seems that the button named "download offline speech recognition" is not present in the official stock JB release, and we need to click on it to download files which will let Google Now speak ... Does anyone know why this button is not there ? Will it be there in a future release ?

Thanks for your help !

This is my 3rd N7. I just got it about 8 hours ago from gamestop. I thought when I started my new replacement up I finally got a defective free device!!! Started playing major mayhem and boy did I figure out quick this replacement was the worst. It would read my finger placement but I would either have to hold it there or swipe. Oh and the keyboard was almost impossible to use. Even moving widgets and apps on home screen was a chore due to it out being able to hold on to my placement. I know I'm not the only one having this issue. You guys think an update would fix this or do I have another deffective device?
[Nexus 7 General] Vertron:
Not sure, but if it is defective again, I would return it and buy it somewhere else.

Can you try it out with headphones plugged in or while touching the headphone jack? This might be a grounding issue.

I just returned. I usually hate GameStop but they are bring really cool about the n7. They are exchanging it without question. One time they didn't even turn it on lol! But I got my replacement today and so far so good. Hope nothing is wrong with it *knock on wood*

Third time will be the charm with me, I think.

[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
No, you didn't stutter, but you also didn't make much sense. I'd say a person with the time and inclination has no reason not to try to get a defect-free device. There's every reason to believe that at some point the initial manufacturing issues will be worked out, and defect-free Nexus 7's will become available. That should happen sooner rather than later, and so long as Google is willing to keep sending replacements, there's no reason why someone shouldn't keep trying (do note that I, personally, do not have the time or inclination, so I'm stopping at 3).

So, when I say "why," I'm asking: what's your reasoning? Certainly you don't REALLY mean that "God or some other higher power" is actually trying to say something.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Yes GameStop just returned it no questions asked. The only problem was finding the tablets. Only one GameStop in my city had a replacement. This one is perfect EXCEPT the sound. Its cracky and pops. But the m going to hold onto this one because everything else is flawless. Including the lifted screen. I rarely use the internal speaker anyway. It works fine of I dont pump it up a lot. Anyway yes GameStop was badass for once. They didn't even turn it on lol. I could have gutted the CPU.
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
Kinda makes me wonder if Google, Asus, or retailers are just recycling some of the returns to someone else, hoping they will be fine with whatever defects the person returning couldn't live with. Anyone know if there are any rules at the retail level that prevent this from happening?
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Yes, the fact that the replacement orders are for a new products. Selling refurbs as new would break all sorts of laws.

Hi all, I'm trying to understand how Netflix is supported on Android devices.

Netflix uses Microsoft's PlayReady DRM (via Silverlight) on windows, I have

no idea how it does it on Apple's iOS though and more importantly how this

is done on Android.

Android has WideVine DRM (a company google acquired awhile back and

at the time of acquisition WideVine supported Netflix through their own

libraries), so can it be assumed that Netflix uses WideVine on Android

devices (phones, Google-TV, etc) ? Can this be confirmed ? If so does

that mean that Netflix has two streams, one for ReadyPlay DRM and one

for WideVine supported devices ?

To recap, the question really is "what is it within Android that is allowing

Netflix DRM support ?" How does Google-TV deal with this - in other words,

how is it that Netflix is supported within Google-TV without microsoft's

PlayReady DRM ?

Your comments/help/insight would be much appreciated.
