[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Svartehjerte:
Real ICS (full) is unlocked BL specific i think; you have to flash original firmware i guess, use PC companion to repair.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SS-4050:
Can you enter flashmode? If you can then just re-flash it with Stock ICS Firmware,Oh did you install a costum kernel before Flashing real ICS? Most CosROM requires a costum Kernel installed
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shotgun_0619:
Go back to stock ROM, and root your phone again. Then unlock your bootloader and try flashing a custom kernel (I'd recommend KRsH Kernel). In CWM, do a factory reset and wipe everything (dalvik-cache, battery stats, EVERYTHING). Proceed to flashing the Real ICS ROM (choose "install zip from sdcard", not "apply update").

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

One more thing - the first boot takes quite a while (it took me about 5 minutes or so). I'm also running Real ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:
But what is flash mode. Is it plugging in usb with pressing volume down button...? yes it is working.but i cant understand what to follow from there...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:
But it cant open cwm recovery too.its strucks there itself....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:
Hey I'm out of power too....How should i charge it?? I had tried to charge it using adapter but then also it strucks at Sony logo and led is also not displaying on it... Is it charging or not???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:
I think no.. before I had rooted my device at stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.58 and flashed it to ics stock rom to it using flashtool with out wipe data so that i can preserve root as shown in some guide from xda forum(I cant provide a link).So i'm happyt with the root. Then after one month yesterday I had saw the realics r5.1 and tried to install it on my phone.It asked to install cwm recovery and i also had installed it.then i entered cwm and backed up my current rom to sd card and started to install real ics rom. then it had currectly installed and returned to cwm and it showed rebooting device and reebooted..then at sony logo i had waited for approximately 3 minutes and then tried to switchoff the phone but not responded.then i had removed the battery.and then tried again.but no use....:(:(:(:(:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eduardocclc:
I think you must install the custom kernel before flashing the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kspuchakai:
Hey thaknks for all your solutions...I had resolved it by flashing it with stock ics rom using flashtool....Hey can u tell me a method to experience the xperia s stock rom on my LIve With walkman...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eduardocclc:
You can install a Xperia S based rom, like Real ICS, or install mods like Xperia S Launcher
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shotgun_0619:
Try these steps:

1. DOWNGRADE to GB .58 firmware using FLASHTOOL

2. ROOT your phone, and install a ROOT SHELL

3. Use FLASHTOOL to update to ICS 4.0.4 (DO NOT wipe user data)

4. ROOT your phone

5. UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER

6. FLASH a CUSTOM KERNEL (KRsH KERNEL is recommended for Real ICS)

7. Enter CWM

8. In CWM, do a FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE PARTITIONS, WIPE DALVIK CACHE and WIPE BATTERY STATS (DALKVIK CACHE and BATTERY STATS are found in ADVANCED)

9. Choose INSTALL.ZIP FROM SD CARD and choose the Real ICS zip file

Seriously, the first boot is ridiculously long. 3 minutes may not be enough. Try waiting for 10 or 15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
Sprint is offering a Galaxy nexus for NEW customers and to add a line Not to a ten year customer who is 4 months out of contract.

I understand the principles of getting new customers, But here I am teetering on the brink of Declining income and delcining sprint service. I dont want to spend a bunch of money on the next best thing would rather spend 0 and have a solid phone for the next 2 years. Might be a little off topic here but I also wanted to know from nexus users on sprint if my efforts are worth it.

What is everyones feelings on owning a Galaxy nexus for the next 2 years on Sprint?

If you're out contract call account services and tell them you want to leave.. when they ask why, tell them why! you will get your Nexus in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bahnburner:
Ask for the retention or loyalty department. If they pretend to not know what you're talking about, tell them you'd like to cancel your service and you'll get transferred to them. CALMLY explain your situation and thoughts to them, and they should be able to cut you some slack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
Weighed the options on that recently but dont want to spend 300 on a new phone that why I am pushing to get a free nexus. Also I have a large account 5 phones My whole family and In laws so people are sort of depending on me. and 30x5 =180 my sprint sero with unlimited mobile to mobile calling and data 200 better option for us. ( I am a data hog ) and so is my brother in law. not really an option for me but thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
And what if they call my bluff? I cant really leave sprint (not that I really want to) Have numerous lines on different contract cycles
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urinsane:
Ahh you are on SERO... this is why. You can't expect discounted service and a free phone. I don't think Sprint cares if they lose customers that are on SERO.

Then again I might be jaded as I had to move from SERO once they released the HTC Hero a few years back. Wouldn't allow it on old SERO. I threatened to leave, escalated it to the highest tier, and was still told if I wanted android I would need to switch to a new plan. Otherwise, thanks for being a customer!

A few months later, they started allowing "premium" devices on SERO plans. I called and told them they needed to switch me back... no dice.

I've since paid the ETF and moved to a GSM prepaid Nexus, but I do understand why you need to stay.

That said, you are going to have to make tradeoffs if you want to stay on SERO.

It's $50 for upgrade at Radio Shack.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
HMMM Thanks That Might be an option.

But now back to my question. Do owners of the GNex feel they can be happy with this phone for the next 2 years, I am coming from an EVO which still has a very active Development community are things slowing down here or are they still strong? Open to Rom suggestions I am a minimalist. when it comes to roms I like clean fast and long battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
I beg to differ... I got the score when I got my EVO. customer care sold me an EVO over the phone and then credited my first bill the full amount of the phone. essentially Got the phone for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GituSum:
I just got my gnex a couple weeks ago. They way I look at it is sprint has got the new nexus phone around six months after they have been released. This phone is perfect for the way I want to use it and will be happy for two years. If sprint does happen to release the new nexus the same time as everybody else I also have another line due for upgrade in January so that swayed my decision also. As far as devolpment slowing down, I'm sure it will still be going for two years. The ns4g is still going pretty good and they have jb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
The Galaxy Nexus will hold up much better over time than any other phone. If you've been happy with the OG Evo for 2 years than you should be happy with the Gnex for 2 years. Compare it against the Evo LTE, the Gnex will be more likely to have the latest versions of Android without bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
I absolutely LOVE my Nexus. It's night and day from my Epic on CM9, which in all honesty was not a bad setup or device. I'm sure I will be perfectly happy till upgrade time. Got mine about a week or so ago.

Why not just add a line and get the GNEX for free and then cancel your current line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
being self employed... Changing your phone number can cost you customers unless you know a way to do that without getting a new number that is not an option... my already dwindling income cannot take a hit like that.:(

Google Voice number porting? $20 fee but you can use your number on whatever phone(s) you want and it comes with a host of other features.

Google Voice is awesome. The wife and I once had to switch phone numbers for stupid rebate reasons and since I had already given everyone my Voice number all I had to do was login and change my number that Voice forwarded to. No one had to update their contact information or even know about it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Keep in mind that even if it is working for you, apps restart themselves. When you go look and see what processes/services are running those apps you killed could very well have restarted.

Use a app. Kill it with hold back to kill. Reload the same app right away. If the app returns to where you left off it did not work. If it starts fresh it did.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg2826:
its working 4 me like it should, apps starting fresh.

Hello,

I was just wondering if there was anything that could be done about the "Samsung only" printer. My office has a Konica printer that I can not use because of this proprietary problem. Is there anything that can be done.? Not major or anything. Just annoying. ... my boss has a razor max that he just hits print on it shoots out the printer. Mine says it only works with Samsung printers. ...:(

hopefully, something will turn up soon. I would love to print from my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanf:
I have looked in the moto rom and can't find anything that leads to printer. in sgs3 it is called "mobile Printer" i believe... thats pretty easy. I was hoping that we could replace ours with the moto apk and be done with it.

I have a Droid 2 currently rooted and running the following versions:

Android 2.3.7

Kernel 2.6.32.9-g462500f

CyanogenMod-7-11162011

I now want to get a new phone and give my Droid 2 to my kid. Before letting her have it I'd like to return it to a basic default Droid 2, no root, no mods.

Can someone point me toward a link showing how to do this or something close? Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Droid 2 General] bhigham:
Presuming that it doesn't have the .621 update (came out early this year), the easiest would probably be to download an EzSbf from

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/161849-tool-ezsbf.html

If you have the .621 update, you would need to flash the stock 2.3.4 SBF. There is an ezsbf style one available at

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29930-new-root-method-for-stock-234-621622-found-droid2-r2d2/

but someone was having trouble with it the other day. While resolving their problem, they used a different USB cable, so not sure if the problem was the cable or the CD initially.

The other alternative is to use RSDLite, with Windows, but some have had trouble with the drivers necessary for windows.
[Droid 2 General] MissionImprobable:
You need to both SBF as well as wipe data/cache to get everything completely back to stock. The instructions above should get you most of the way through.

I used the M6 file from this post on that thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856 It's working great so far. The only issue I've found is that you can't exit using the back button. You need to press the home button to exit.

Also, even though the instructions say its for CWM, it's not. You can flash it using any recovery.

Download the M6 file, copy it to your SD card, reboot into recovery and flash it, then reboot and poof you're done.

Also it doesn't mess anything with svoice does it?

Also if I didn't want it anymore what would I do? Just try and find it tit backup and remove?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
1) Just tested again and yes you can exit out of the app with the back button.

2)If you have S-Voice set up with the double tap feature it will now open voice dialing. Otherwise it does not mess with S-Voice from what I have tested so far.

3)Well I dont know that 1, because I am happy with Google Now and dont plan on replacing it with what I now consider lame Google Search original app.

Hope I helped you out.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Thanks not bad. But didnt like that when double pressing home the voice command is only for voice dialing. You have to open up the actual Voice app and then tap on the mic icon on the top right of the screen to utilize other voice searches ie. weather, navigation, etc. Reverted back to a nand back up.

Also for those having battery drain, in the Voice app there's a setting where it always waits for you to say (I forget the verbage) to wake up Google now. I think if you disable this it wont drain your battery.
