[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Hello, it's me again with new set of questions :)

My device is GT-I9001

1) What is Nandroid backup? Is it complete system image backup like Acronis True Image, created with CWM, because i have CWM installed?

2) I am planning to install CM9 on my device, is it possible to restore my apps completely with settings, and games completely with passed levels with Titanium (I've got Pro version). I need to know if any problem could arise when restoring? I also read not to restore system apps, my question is why?

3) Am I installing CM9 via odin or via cwm? I saw two files gapps and cm9, which is firstly installed?

4) How to wipe before installing custom ROM?

5) Could you find me Stock ROM for my phone, I've got no luck finding it? Here is PDA and CSC

Thanks in advance, I am especially thankful if you answer me the questions detailed/for noobs...:)
[General Questions and Answers] sony.xperia:
1. yes, it is complete system image backup (can be created using CWM)

2. yes, you can restore apps including their settings via titanium backup.

3. please read the installation guide for your device.

4. wiping can be done via CWM

5. find it on your device sub-forum.
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
1) Ok, I understand...

2) There is still more questions I asked...

3) I cannot ask there until 10 posts, and it's a bit unclear/confusing to me...

4) I know that, what I need to wipe. I figured it's system, cache and dalvik...

Is it needed to go into mounts and storage and to format system, data and cache...

Is sdcard and emmc needed to be wiped?

5) I already said I cannot find it...
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Anyone knows the answers?
[General Questions and Answers] L30nh4rt:
2) if you just restore User-Apps you can not do anything wrong. Only if you restore Systemapps that are not for your new system.

If this happens you can easily restore your nandroid and start over again

3) Odin is more or less only for Stock Roms. CM is flashed through CWM

4) nope! If you do the Wipe, system, data etc. will be formated

5) you can easily find stock roms for almost every samsung device on sammobile.com
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Thanks for clarifying :)

I searched every possible site, but still can't find my stock firmware o.O
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikario507:
what is the difference betwween those rom updates..!!

which one is better that the other one!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
Nightly versions are kinda like test versions, official releases are more refined, the testing from the nightlies helps decide what is added or removed for the final releases.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikario507:
ok, is the stable version the best version of CM9 or CM10¿? :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir Otto:
Yes, it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
but nevertheless you have to differenciate between official cm versions and non official ports

because even if the non official ports are statet as some kind of final version they may have a huge amount of bugs in the system
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikario507:
but how is better?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
It depends on who developed it

the official version are published by the cm team so u can trust in a kind of straight quality

the ported versions have the same source because they were ported from a official version of cm by some devs who wanted cm for theyr devices so u might have some very great ports by people who really know what they do and on the other hand u may et a port wich is full of bugs

so in my opinion the official ports may often beat the portet ones

Why I don't the 2 new thread ( Q & A) and original android developement in my xda app?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
App works slower than website :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
Maybe it takes some time for the Threads to show up in the app.

Anyways just check the Galaxy Ace forum, and see whether you see Q&A and Original Development section. If yes, then we are likely to see those after a couple of hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Asbusto:
This supposed to be in Q&A section.....:p

(for those who didn't understand...i'm just kidding!!!)

Hey, I thought I would start this thread because I gave into peer pressure and returned my ATP for the Infinity. I'm really excited.:D I thought though I should pass on the USB GPS Dongle I got to someone who might need it more than I do now that its just gonna collect dust in my left-overs box. Maybe other ex prime owners with dongles will follow in my example. Just PM me and I'll send it to you via USPS even if you're overseas!

Obvious mistake, i should have said the ASUS GPS Dongle to resolve Satellite Reception Issue

Here are the users who have benefited from the good will of ex-prime users. I have asked permission to put their names here. This is also to help prevent from someone taking advantage of this.

I was thinking the same thing as long as my infinity's gps works, should have it wednesday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
By USB dongle, do you mean the GPS one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Yes, he is talking about the GPS dongle. I have an extra as well now. NIB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
mine too

I wasn't sure if this was kosher but as long as you guy's are doing it I'll jump on. PM me and I'll give mine up too... you gotta cover postage to 12123.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbtorreliob:
Yeah I was worried no one would reply, but Ive had two people write to me. I was one of the fortunate few who got two dongles in the mail(Thanks ASUS USA for not being thorough with double checking your mailing lists). Ill be sending the first one out today and if my Infinity (Thanks Best Buy for the great customer service) has a working GPS the other dongle will be sent out Friday Morning.

To sound corny, we are a community and even though you'll always have a few extremists who do nothing but complain about how they got the shaft, I enjoyed my prime and I am happy to pass on the dongles if that will make other somewhat satisfied Primer owners happy!

As a recommendation to anyone sending anything overseas: Don't send it certified or registered or any of that junk, because it only takes longer and is more likely to get lost!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nramprabhu:
i can give mine too...

I am also sailing in the same boat.. Waiting for my Infinity Pad from BB to arrive.

I will wait to see the GPS works properly in Infinity PAD ( hopefully i don't need the GPS dongle any more) ..

If any Prime owners wants the GPS dongle , Please PM me . I can send it to them through USPS , If they can cover the postage.

Thanks ,

Ram
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
Some ASUS engineers must have had their balls clamped in a vice over the Prime's GPS, because the Infinity's GPS is one thing they certainly got right. Very fast acquisitions in all conditions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbtorreliob:
Today I sent out one of the two I had to the UK. It set me back US$6.53 and about 30 minutes of my time. The other one might head to Perth which should be the same price because the clerk accidentally keyed in China.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
I'm thinking about getting rid of mine as I do not use the GPS in ma ATP, rather prefer my SGSIII it. I'm wondering who may need it as it was easy to get it from Asus website.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barisko:
I would love to have a GPS dongle, so is somebody willing to help me out? That would be great!

I live in The Netherlands but never got mine... it's a long story... :)

Secondly i'd love to get a dongle, but I live at the butt-end of nowhere - i'd be happy to fire off some money for shipping and your time via paypal, or I could make some other arrangement to compensate for time and shipping.... Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
How did you return your Prime under warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bait-Fish:
See this thread.

One year Asus warranty was not expired yet. Walked into my local Best Buy, up to the customer service desk, not Geek Squad, and asked for a "warranty return." Beside asking what was wrong with it, there was nothing else, easy. Had all the original packaging and parts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Oh I thought you sent it in to ASUS for RMA and they returned it. Too bad I'm not in the US, so bestbuy is not an option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goodwidp:
I'm using the Infuse dock and while I really am enjoying using it, the lone issue I have is that all phone calls are audible only via the internal phone speaker rather than the car speakers (via 3.5mm). I know that the Infuse dock was (obviously) not made for the S3 so I don't know if it's an issue only with this dock or if this is how Samsung intended it to be with all docks. Would it be possible for a dev to enable this function in a custom ROM or other method? Thanks very much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I don't have a dock but quick question. When you navigate to Settings/Dock, is "Audio Output mode" selected?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goodwidp:
It is. The audio (music/videos) sounds perfect through my car speakers using a 3.5mm cable but actual phone calls are only audible via the phone speaker. Thanks very much for the reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goodwidp:
Bump to see if this is feasible. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enohand:
i run my phone via a no name mount (moslty just a holdeR)

& a male/male headphone cable plugged from the phone into my headunit & it plays everything (pandora, calls, Svoice etc) all via the car speakers.

not sure what your issue is.

when you plug in the headphone cable, does the notification area say "headphones connected?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goodwidp:
Thanks for the reply. The headphones connected message does appear and while all my music is routed perfectly through my car speakers, it's only phone calls that play solely through the internal phone speaker. The difference between our setups is that my male/male headphone cable goes from the dock's integrated 3.5mm audio out jack to my head unit rather than from the phone's 3.5mm audio out. I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work without having to plug the cord directly into the phone as that would take away the advantage of having a dock with integrated audio. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazytalk151:
I am having the same problem music goes through the usb port but calls do not. It is very frustrating. Hopfully they will fix it for CM 10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] screwyluie:
That is something else entirely
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
My understanding is that Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't have USB audio output standard, but that Samsung adds it into their phones. So, having call audio not route through the USB sounds like an issue to send to Samsung.

At step 7 did you hit restart?

Was the tablet still plugged in to your computer?

Have you tried connecting the tablet to the charger ?

Holding the home button and power for about 30 seconds should reset the tablet.

yes at step 7 i did a restart.

yes tabled was plugged to the computer

no have not tried the charger

let me try the home + power button this evening when i go home. thanks.
[TouchPad General] sstar:
Next time make sure you click on eject/safely remove from your computer and then unplug from your computer Before hitting restart.

Also just plugging into the charger should bring it back to life.

Let me know how you get on , did you already have novacom installed.

Hi my girlfriend has birthday next month and she was talking latelly thank she'd like to have a smartphone because she'd love to surf internet on the go, listen to music ( she's using some old mp3 player atm ), check e-mail etc.

She's been using a classic candy bar phones for years and I was thinink that as her bday is comming I could get smartphone for her as a gift.

But I'm not really sure which model would suit a total newbie in the smartphone world ? She's never used a touch screen phone, she only played littlebit with mine Nexus 7.

I use HTC HD7 personally and it comes with Windows Phone 7 but i thought Android would be better for her because of more apps, etc.

Is there anything you could recommend ?

Battery life longer than 20h would be great ( mine HD7 last like 26-28h ) :P
