[HTC Rezound] Comedie:
Global in VZ ICS

I just received the official Verizon ICS in the last hour. I am poking around looking for the global feature, since it is THE promised reason I bought the phone. Offhand, I do not see the global feature anywhere . Network mode still only shows' LTE/CDMA' or 'CDMA only' as the choices, so it seems that 'global' is still not official from Verizon in the ICS as just shipped.

The LTE ON/OFF app seems to have a few more options than when I last looked, but I've no idea what's may have changed.
[HTC Rezound] ajv00:
I put in a tmobile SIM card and changed the settings in the app to GSM and wcdma and it worked calling and texting! It didn't have data but if you go to mobile network settings and access point names I feel like you could add the apn and be golden using data and mms over gsm. I'm Hoping this is the truth but I don't have anything to test it with :(
[HTC Rezound] goldy253:
I'm on the leak from three months ago, in Afghanistan. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problems. Calls only though no data. I'm using the extended battery. Had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.
[HTC Rezound] postmortem.:
GSM switch gone in ICS OTA?

Looks like option to switch to GSM is gone. Dialing *#*#4636#*#* does nothing...
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
that option to show network modes when dailing *#*#4636#*#* is removed in latest RUUs and official OTA, but however you may flash any of ROMs available to get GSM
[HTC Rezound] Comedie:
So SMS worked with the ICS OTA, both send and receive? Last time I tried 2 months ago under Gingerbread, GSM calls were fine, but could only receive SMS text, could not sent texts, and never got data to work.

I've spent over 1/2 of the last 3 months overseas, so this is a big deal to me. Even if just the calls and SMS send/receive work, I will be pleased. VZ told me the global feature is not in this latest Verizon ICS OTA, but maybe the inner workings are there and they just haven't put in the frontend and any VZ profitmaking carrier lockouts?

I am off to South Africa next Friday. Sounds like I will have to get an MTN sim in ZA and try again when I get there. Maybe this ICS OTA will have some value to me afterall. I'll try to remember to post back here, whether it works or not. If it all works, however, I'm pretty sure the posting will only be redundant info, since my screams of giddiness would be heard around the world... afterall, I've been using an old unlocked GSM RAZR flip phone when I travel.

The LTE ON OFF app still seems to allow access. However, until I get overseas I'm not sure how to tell if it is truly switching/working
[HTC Rezound] ajv00:
I only tried receiving a text/: sorry I can't confirm sending. But if you flash a gsm Rom which I might everything works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subjective Effect:
I've an Orange HTC Sensation with ICS on it (official update). It's not rooted.

Orange have a Contacts Backup app that doesn't work but constantly and irritatingly tells you it's failed to connect. I don't want it or use it and I've uninstalled the updates so instead of trying to backup my contacts to Orange (which I never asked for) it comes up in "update available" lists and intrudes on my taskbar with the "1 update available" message.

Is there any way to stop it trying to update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
Try using DroidWall to restrict its ability to use internet, but i think your out of luck since you are not rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
In ICS you can disable bloatware. It will still be installed, but unable to run. Unless this app cannot be disabled, then your only option is to root and rename the apk in /system/app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subjective Effect:
It doesn't seem to run but it keeps trying to update.

tbh this app has far too many permissions for my liking and don't want it. I can't see how Orange are getting away with this legally.

My fire is bricked good, I have the factory cable, but still nothing works, I have not tried the pin shorting out yet. I have used ubuntu and the FFF utility. Please help, it goes to showing half the screen with the twrp triangle and the other half of the screen is different colored lines, this happen the first boot after rooting it with the fire utility. I'm stumped. Please help.
[General Questions and Answers] travisgary:
i used the kindle fire utility 0.9.6 and it works awesome. you should try that before you do anything else. is should automatically install the twrp and FFF and if you can boot into recovery, you should be able to load a rom.

im fairly new at this as well so if i sound like a noob i am!

I flashed the Snow Goose ROM and play WWF and never had any force closes. I thought I'd share this. I didn't flash any kernels or mods if it helps. Flash ROM just as is.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaydawgx7:
I am trying to play my video from my SGS3 to my smart tv. When playing a video while on the same wifi as my tv, there is a little icon at the top of the screen on the phone that allows you to pick your display. When I pick the "Smart TV" display, the video is sent seamlessly to the tv. However, I am having a problem with orientation. Videos downloaded to my phone are perfect, but videos I record from my phone are not. A video taken in portrait mode shows up on the tv sideways, and a video taken in landscape mode shows up upside down. It displays normally on the phone. Anyone have any ideas?

Another question: Does anyone know what needs to be installed for this to work? I'm guessing it uses dlna via allshare, but when i put a custom rom on the phone, I no longer have the option to send the video to the tv.

FYI: For those of you that do not have a smart tv, but do have pc or something else running XBMC, you can also use this feature, but I'm guessing you have to enable dlna in XBMC. Works great! (Same issues with orientation though)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krips2003:
Use bubble upnp. I'm on stock and I hardly use allshare, in fact I have disabled it and use bubble upnp.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaydawgx7:
Thanks for the response. I installed bubble upnp and it does the same thing. However, I did take a few more videos and noticed the way you hold the phone matters. If I take the video in landscape mode with the home button on the right, it displays perfectly. If I have the phone in landscape with the home button on the left, the image is inverted when played through upnp, but normal on the device. Also, if the video is done in portrait mode, the orientation is rotated 90°. Is this what happens with you?

Also, if anyone else has any suggestions for upnp apps, please post them here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] timeToy:
Try Twonky Mobile or Twonky Beam, theses are the most reliable for me, with the added bonus with Twonky Beam to be able to send any video from the web.

Long story short - Verizon has offered me a warranty replacement for my Bionic. There was some confusion and now I have been sent both the Galaxy Nexus and the Razr MAXX. They told me just to send back the one I do not want to keep. Which would you keep?

Main PRO of the MAXX: Amazing battery life so less charging hassle!

Main CON of the MAXX: Locked bootloader, no Jellybean in sight

Main PRO of the Nexus: Always the latest updates, can run Jellybean now!

Main CON of the Nexus: Poor battery life

I am 50% torn, but will use the results of this poll to make my decision! I'll keep whichever phone wins here.

Nexus has better dev support with an unlocked bootloader and the quickest official updates of any phone. The Razr Maxx has a locked bootloader, but kexec is now working which bypasses Motorola's locked bootloader and allows a custom kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBone25:
Nice.

Quick question. Why does the phone need to know the barometric pressure?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mossolb:
Maybe someone will (or even has) write an app for some peer networking weather prediction system. And maybe the barometer helps with the GPS for altitude readings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ooxteme:
if your a climber hiker just a outdoorsy person like me, sypressure makes a great app with a baro altimeter and if you know that falling or rising pressure means changing weather you can monitor that too its kinda cool actually. the gps altitude you see on a straight gps program like gps tool box is always off by a long shot.

Hi,

Where I can buy new motherboard for my laptop ? The old one isn't so cool and i want to replace it to something better.
[Off-topic] devwithzachary:
Its highly unlikely you will be able to upgrade your motherboard.

But info of your laptop could tell us for sure. The problem is unlike desktops mobos, laptops mobos are designed normally just for that laptop and often even different models have different boards with amount points in other locations etc.

Short answer likely not possible unless your lucky or what to swap out the old board for the same board
[Off-topic] Maris97:
Lenovo G550, 15.6'' display.

I need motherboard that supports ram, cpu upgrading and haven't integrated gpu. And i'm asking for help because i'm afraid to buy wrong mobo.
[Off-topic] devwithzachary:
Not going to happen, laptops are no where near as upgradeable, yes you can upgrade ram (to the limit of the mobo) but like I already send the boards are designed for that laptop, as all laptops have things in different locations, USB ports, disk drive etc etc.

Its always been a case if you want upgradableness you have to stick to a desktop
[Off-topic] Maris97:
I believe there is some other motherboards... Lenovo G550 has a lot of models, with diferent specs. Maybe i can replace my motherboard with other G550 model mobo ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIRkeO_sJN8
[Off-topic] devwithzachary:
Yes if you can get a look at a board and check the mounts, USBs etc line up then you might be able to get a better G550 motherboard but you would be limited to just these boards.

The only time I have ever replaced mobos for laptops is when the boards damaged and it will be replaced with a copy of that board nothing else
[Off-topic] Maris97:
But if i find different firm mobo for ex. Dell that fits my laptop, it's safe to replace that ?
[Off-topic] SimonTS:
You've been told no already mate. The motherboard might physically fit, but the connection to the LCD might be different. Or the keyboard etc.

There is a reason that people don't upgrade laptop motherboards - it's not something they're designed for.

Long story short, I have fought and fought and finally got Cleanrom running but honestly I am so frustrated with the stuff thats missing now that I just want to go back to stock and learn more about Roms and addons before doing it again.

I have seen other threads but wanted to be sure we are talking about my versions that I have involved.

I know all about bloatware and un-needed addons but well yea. Just wanting to put the issues that I had behind me and not really feeling safe until I know its back in order I suppose. I am learning to live with it right now, just looking for a backup to my dilemma if I need one is all.

Ok...I think most of things you can get to work in CleanRom, but a step at a time for android converts! Have fun with it.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Just delete all your current contacts. ALL OF THEM. And start over but make them all sync with Google to begin with, make sure they're in google, not on the phone. It makes flashing roms and modding your phone SOOOO much simpler, not to mention if you switch phones in the future, they're all in google and will instantly be loaded onto you phone whenever you sign on with your google account
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you do start over, enter them via the contact page on gmail, makes it easier to manage them on your computer then they will just sync to the phone. If you do add a contact on the phone, change the contact type to google on the add contact page.

Hey Folks,

I'm from Brazil,

I'm actually using ICS 4.0.4 BUILD 80-OWAIN@WARMACHINE, download at XDA, DOMINATION. * http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517301 *

The rom is very smooth, fixed my problems with the LG OPTIMUS common reboot problems.

But, recently i'm been confronting a problem with my cellphone.

When i turn WI-FI or DATA, ON, My cellphone beggins to slowndown too much. Almost impossible to access something on the cellphone. ( even answer a call stay with slowdown. )

For tests, i opened the task manager and some apps began to OPEN and close when i turn the WI-FI on. App's like Gallery, Google Drive, Youtube, Google Talk, Cerberus, Songify, Facebook, and others, even ones that don't use internet connection ( or not supposed to use. )

After the cellphone open these apps, the cellphone get a bit faster, but a bit slower than without wi-fi.

I'm using V10d Baseband with correspondent RIL. ( downloaded through RIL MANAGER. )

The only SYNC that is activated is contacts and calendar ( Google account )

Someone could help me to fix these problem?

I think that these apps are opening in background, without reason, and slowing down the optimus 2x.

I don't know if this is the reason for slowing down, but could be an hypothesis.
