[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mullarameez:
I will always suggest everyone to download firmware from sammobile and then flash it via mobile odin pro as this will retain root. Basically while updating via kies it downloads same firmware as on sammobile, i mean its of same SIZE and after flashing through kies the downloaded firmware gets deleted from PC so better dwnld it from sammobile and have it 24x7 in our PC so no need to worry when something went wrong with phone.

BTW anyone is getting SECURITY POLICY RESTRICTS USE OF EXTERNAL SD CARD message while switching on phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dr.sanjaykumar16:
+1 yes I m getting this on left side of status bar as soon as my phone boots up....any idea why this so??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] an123:
having used this for a few days now, I have noticed a HUGE improvement in battery life :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] sujaishukla:
yes battery life has increased for sure plus the annoying handwriting tab next to the spacebar has gone, call list as everyone says has gone a bit bland but doesnt matter and the UI is lot more snappir than before, plus the design of the options tab everywhere has changed. all in all a nice improvement but then it might be me only who finds this to be nice as this is only my 2nd android and i dont know much :P

I just got my email for the D4 Soak Test. ICS is on its way!
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Yup, me too. Yay!
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
What version are you guys on

I can confirm, I received the email as well. Is any one actually on stock GB that they can get this update? If so, please try and up get the update zip off of your phone before you actually install it, so we can make the new build work for those of us on the leaks. Thanks!!! :victory:
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
With the emails going out at this time...I suspect the SOAK test will be .217. Those on .217 won't have to worry about updating as it will be the same.

We'll have to wait until someone gets the SOAK to see if it is .217 or something later.

My guess is .217 based on a few observations...

.217 is current leak as of today (just checked cheesecake this morning) and SOAK letters are going out now.

.214, .215 leaks all gave me options (via cheesecake) to download, later or cancel. .217 leak only gave me download and later options.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
i'm on GB still as I'm late to the party, so I've been patiently waiting. i'll try to grab the zip. it sits in the cache folder, right?
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
yep...grab the .zip and the .crc file, they both will be in /cache

Of course you'll have to be rooted to grab those. Once they install they auto delete so download, install later and copy. Then install and enjoy :)
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
correct me if im wrong, but those of us on ICS leak CANT flash this OTA right?
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
depends on the version. if it's 217, I don't see why not. if it's later, then you should, but if they reverted, you're screwed.
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Correct. OTA's update a stock phone.....it's not a ROM but patches to the ROM on the phone and it is looking/checking for specific file sizes/versions as it attempts to patch them. Missing files, different files.......update aborts.

The OTA's only patch what the manufacturer calls the latest official OS....for the Droid 4 that is system 6.13.219 (Gingerbread).

Anything else will need to find a different method to update. If it is leak .217 then those on .217 are fine and need to do nothing. If it is a newer build.....say .220, then someone will have to pull the files and see if they work using the same methods people used to update from leak .200 to .206 or to .208 or .217.
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
I see. I'm on eclipse right now, which is amazing, so I think I'll sit tight unless something amazing happens with this soak test ICS
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
How did you register to be able to take part in the soak test?
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Not necessarily, AFAIK we can move back and forth between the ICS builds, just not ICS-GB. Of course, if they changed the partition tables again, yes we're screwed. It is my understanding (somebody correct me if I am wrong) that Motorola changed the partition sizes on ICS, which causes GB fastboot files to not work. Assuming the partition table stays the same we should be alright.
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
First, create an account on the Motorola Owner's Forums. Then, in your account options there is some sort of opt-in for the Motorola Software Feedback program or some crap like that. I believe it occurs when you are adding the specs on your device.
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
How long best guess will it take for the actually soak update to arrive after you'll get the email and done with the survey...?
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Thank you, I just signed up. Doubtful I'll get it but if I do I'll try to grab the files.
[Motorola Droid 4] wheels01:
Grabing files

I received the email and i am almost done with the survey. If i agree to it and grab the files, can i delete them and not update, share them to find a solution for all the ICS Leak users?

I am on the assumption that it will be like another OTA leak that has been applied with the d4 utility and it will work for those members that are still on the last leak if in fact it is 217 the name for the new OTA.

Im just wondering if once someone gets the new OTA will they HAVE to update or can we get them and delete it from the folder?
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
I'm pretty sure if you sign up, you get in, it's not like were beta testing WoW here... :p
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
i'm sure if you delete the file, you won't update, but you may get notified again, to update.
[Motorola Droid 4] AMTrombley0924:
So now that soak tests are here, what is a best guess as to when the OTA rollout will begin?
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Soak tests aren't here yet. Historically, once they roll out the soak test, as long as there aren't show-stopping issues, it rolls out to the rest of the population in a week or two. But since this is a major upgrade, they may decide to take longer. Who knows?
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
Has any one received an additional email and or the update?

[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
So those of us who are on ICS Leaks probably wont get the ota right? The ota will only go out to those on gingerbread... But if they were leaked I would assume since they have our MEID, if we install the ota zip it should work properly...
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
You have to understand how OTA updates work. They aren't ROMs they are only patches to the ROM sitting on your phone. If you have any files that it needs to update/patch different than what it is looking for...it fails. Since OTA's look for the current official ROM image (GB .219) it of course can't update anything that is different than that.

So no...if you are on a leak, you can't use the OTA, you might get it...but you definitely don't want to try to install it. You will need to use the same process everyone uses to move from one leak version to the next leak version.
[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
No, I understand that, I used cheesecake for my first ics leak, and prefer to use my own scripts for jumping ics, but I kinda doubt that we will even get the ota update from motorola, as we are already on ics... But i do think that if someone does get the zip, that it will work using the jumping techniques.
[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMidnight:
I was having the same thoughts. I was running Eclipse 1.2 on my safe system but just reverted back to stock ICS .217 in the hopes that I'll at least the the OTA pushed to me and I can move it to my SD Card for review on the forums.
[Motorola Droid 4] WScottCross:
I got the soak test email, but when I clicked the link for the survey link I get the following message "This registration is closed. Thank you for your interest." Have they pulled it or do they truly have enough participants?
[Motorola Droid 4] bane58:
Guess they have enough people
[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
This is the first time I've tried to participate in one of these. I got the email and was able to get through the registration process last week.

A question for those who've participated in the past, do they typically send it out to everyone that that gets registered or is simply getting registered no guarantee you'll get it?

Kind of curious what my odds are that I'll get it.
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Being invited to a SOAK test, registering on the web form does not guarantee getting the SOAK OTA pushed to your device.

however...in even more interesting news.....droid-life.com is reporting that Verizon has signed off on the Droid 4 ICS OTA (6.16.217) and even has the .pdf on their support page.

[Motorola Droid 4] bdbraaten:
Thanks, I wasn't sure one way or the other.

I can confirm the test is starting though, I just got this email:

Hello,

Thanks for signing up for the Motorola Droid 4 software test. The software should be pushed to your phone later today.

Please do not call or contact Motorola or Verizon support for help during the soak. Those teams are not yet ready to support this software.

I’m not able to check private messages on the forums during soaks, so if you need immediate help that's not a good route to take.

If you have any problems accessing the private community, please click here for help. Please do not post questions publicly on our site or elsewhere.

Please start your visit to the private community here. You’ll find additional important information in the Welcome message as soon as you sign in.

Thanks so much for your participation! We really appreciate your time and insights.

[Motorola Droid 4] Marvin-:
Now that the soak is out. Have those who have gotten it been able to keep their root access? And if so how were you able to keep it? I'm hoping voodoo root keeper will enough to hold onto root after the OTA.
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Why even worry, it is just as easy to root ICS as it is to root Gingerbread on the Droid 4. The same person created both root methods.

Motofail for GB

Razrs_edge for ICS
[Motorola Droid 4] jimmyhawk:
Downloading update now.....
[Motorola Droid 4] Zerromi:
Likewise, and I did not actually sign up for the soak test. Possible that this is the full OTA?
[Motorola Droid 4] mustbepbs:
Just installed it on my wife's D4..and she had to leave for work as it was optimizing applications :'( Can't play with it for a few hours now!
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
SOAK test are always the full OTA. Every SOAK I have participated in has been marked as "success" and then pushed out to every one as the OTA.

I'm not sure if Verizon or Motorola just has some timing issues here or not....but it sounds like some are getting it pushed OTA without being part of the SOAK test (which also gets it pushed OTA).

OTA = Over The Air pushed to your device.
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
So it would appear. I don't even remember signing up for the moto dev forum, let alone soak testing, so Verizon jumped the gun on pushing the OTA, or Moto signed off on the soak version for general OTA release. Or something weirder or more inexplicable..

The wording of the OTA update dialog I have:
[Motorola Droid 4] Milo_Hutz:
I have a rooted device. Downloaded the update, which failed. I re-installed all of the bloatware that I had removed...tried again...still failed...

Anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] bane58:
Upgraded in soak test and kept root with voodoo.. Just had to temp un-root, install ota , upgrade the binaries afterwards using superuser

Pretty easy.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
@anyone who installed the official version, can you respond to my thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831081
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Is anyone getting the SOAK rooted making sure to copy the files from /cache off to the /sdcard so that they can share them? Once you install they are deleted automatically.....so they would need to be copied off first.

We'd like to compare them to the .217 leak ICS.
[Motorola Droid 4] a_lazy_dude:
Unless I've been out of the game for too long, doesn't verizon usually post their official updates on their servers as an alternative to waiting for the OTA to be pushed out? Anyone have any idea where to look?

I got my soak test email this morning, but still haven't gotten an OTA yet. Startin to feel a little antsy in my pantsies.
[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
go to Settings > About > Check for System Updates. You should get it then.
[Motorola Droid 4] rumgool:
I do not believe they do this anymore. However, the ICS leak .217 is the same as the soak test, so just grab the leak from the development forums here on xda.
[Motorola Droid 4] 640k:
I have cheesecake installed. Does anyone think this would prevent me from getting the OTA? I've switched it to the prod servers, but still nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freonite:
Hey Guys,

I would like you guys to check out this new game, QONQR. It is described as a mixture of Risk and Foursquare. Currently it is on Windows Phone and iOS and are working on the Android version. They currently have a kickstarter going to raise $25,000 to add a web interface and some more key features to make it a true MMO. They have promised that any additional funds they raise will be directed towards the release of the Android version of the game. As an Android user and developer I can't wait until they are able to release the game on Android. You can find it by searching for QONQR on kickstarter or google.

I have been able to work with the team of guys that started this game and they are truly devoted to the progression of location based gaming. They are very friendly and totally open to suggestions for new game features.

Have any of you guys played or heard of this game? What features do you think are great and what do you think is missing?

Thanks,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doodsz:
hey guys can someone give me some assistance on what happened

i was flashing a softkey for AndroidMe CM10

but the softkey was for AndoidMe 1.6 and wanted to see if it works but... then i got a bootloop so i pulled the battery out and tried going to recovery mode, but instead i pressed the lock button and volume down button and i think it went to odin moide (not sure what it was) it said start so i clicked start and the phone turned off.

so i finally got to recovery mode and i restored a nandroid and im all good :D

but now im wondering what happened or what i installed or whatever :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
just like you said, you installed the wrong file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knighthawk108:
Agreed. i tried Zenyth keys and a dpi mod on AndriodME 1.6 and the navbar disappeared. had to flash a fresh mod cause i refused to restoring my nandroid lol just make sure your ROM and a mod are compatible before flashing or weird things will happen! from experience ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
when it's bootlooping, try to see what 'adb logcat' tells you - often it's a matter of just fixing permissions in recovery; if not available, either restore a backup, check what files does the mod overwrite and back those up (becoming available to restore through 'adb shell' and 'adb push', which you can achieve in cwm/twrp).

I have S-OFF via Revolutionary, using 2.3.3 rooted.

are you flashing custom rom? if yes then you dont need to do anything just flash the rom in recovery.
[HTC Incredible S] rbsmlc:
i haven't flash custom rom, can i ota update directly?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, you cannot flash the OTA update directly. The Revolutionary HBOOT and custom recovery will prevent the OTA from installing.

Just go to the Development section and flash one of the many ICS ROMs available. There are 2 stock, rooted ROMs that are based on the official OTA/RUU for ICS that you can flash straight away.

i feel so happy and my phone become faster..

but many apps that i can't installed in this custom rom..

someone, provide me a flashable memo please.. i really need this app..

i've try to make memo apps in system and set permission to r-w-r-r but it didn't work guys even my phone got restarted twice..

so.. help me please for this app..

i'll give you +10 thanks... hahahahah:laugh::victory:

We cannot use memo.apk on cm7 use color note instead
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] initial_D.:
hihiihi:crying:.. but i ever flashed unofficial cm7 kang, it works guys..

i know we can use color note, but it's not as simple as memo..

could you make the flashable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
There is at least one other thread on this but no real answers. I flashed to CM9 everything seemed fine but the home button won't return me to the home screen. It lights up and I get haptic feedback but otherwise not working. I have wiped/reflashed multiple times to no effect. I tried different ICS ROMS and same thing... no home button. Any ideas? My next step is to go back to GB...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
Well I installed ROM CaLk N vEnUm TwEaKeD sToCk. Home button works now. Mobile Odin to CWM5, wipe 3x, reinstall CM9 and gapps. Still no home button, weird. I'm going to try CM10 for giggles and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
sigh... One-click odin back to EL29 rooted. Looks good. Mobile Odin to push CWM5 directboot. From there wipe 3x, install CM9 8-4 KANG, gapps. Boots but still no home button. Kinda at a loss at this point...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Gingerbread. No Cm9 stuff.

Pp.

Delivered to you via Mayan technology .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Lol how does that fix his problem. He wants cm9 with a working home button.

Maybe try and download a different cm9 nightly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
Well I flashed back to rooted EL29 and let the phone update itself to ICS. Everything is working fine with the stock, unrooted ICS. I'm going to try to flash from ICS to CM9 and see what happens. Have to wait till I get home as I can't get ODIN working at the office.

With ICS to ICS do I need to use CWM 5 direct boot or will any recovery work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
Yeah I tried a couple different nightly's and they all had no home button, no search button and android play was giving server error. Weird thing is I got one ICS ROM (CaLk N vEnUm TwEaKeD sToCk) to work once. When I flashed it a second time Home button no longer worked. Thats kinda weird. Ah well, maybe with ICS stock on the phone things will go differently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rendler:
I'm missing home button too on cm9 :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Every thread all u say is "gingerbread".... was funny til I realized u weren't kidding.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmfeny:
Which cm9 version are you on... mine is working fine and has been working fine with every build of cm9 I been on... I'm running chris41g mergeme from 8/11 I think
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
So I finally got this fixed. I think it was a problem with the gapps I was using. I downloaded a more recent build and was able to get everything running properly. So if your having home/search button issues try a new gapps.
