[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Ya end of August for international version. After Christmas for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
:laugh: Yea, hopefully Samsung can tell Verizon to move it with this. I'll be surprised if a update doesn't come out before to fix any issues or if the JB update will include them. This phone is great but, their are a few issues I hate. One being the music popping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Wait so if this comes out for the INT varient is it really that hard for developers to just transition it over to our verizon model?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
I was hoping they'd add a couple unified widgets to it with the update.

I love this phone (features, screen, battery), and Touchwiz isn't as bad as people make it out to be..... but..... Is it too much to ask that they add a contacts widget (so that I don't have to use a different syncing app) and a social feed widget that go along with the email and calendar widgets? I miss having a unified feel across the board like on sense. It seems that no matter what widgets I download and install from the market, they look horrible next to Samsung's calendar widget which I've grown to like a lot.

That's really my only gripe on an otherwise great phone. Still looking forward to seeing what JB brings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alien-dx11:
Ha that sound's about right. But I think that since we have the unlocked bootloader , devs might be able to get it to us before verizon. IDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flipped cracker:
I'm looking forward to this. I'm also one of those people that like TouchWiz. Way better than the motoblur I had one my droidx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Secretwar1:
Ive become dependant of the smart alert feature, somi definitly wouldnt mind a port haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
Probably not hard at all, especially since we can unlock our boot loaders now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] The Apostle:
I don't mind TW either but at the same time I loved the pure OS feel of ICS on my GNex.

There's features in Touchwiz that are not on stock Android that I have grown attached to, one of them is direct call.... Major win
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
JB isn't even out officially for the Verizon. I wouldn't hold my breathe on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
is anyone working on a port?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
There international GS3 runs Exinos 4412. The use variants run MSM8960. Could be decently hard to get full hardware support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
I agree, the direct call was great. I also liked that you can take a screenshot by swiping your hand over the screen. And the little notification that there's a missed notification when picking up (causing a short vibrate). The missed notification one allowed me to turn off the LED all together and use that to let me know there was something on the phone :)

Windows Phone 7.8 Update Features Revealed, Current WP Users Won’t Be Disappointed

When Microsoft finally got around to announcing Windows Phone 8, users of current WP7.x were left a little disappointed by the lack of support for any current devices. As disheartening as the move was for some, it was a necessary way for Microsoft to really move on, since Windows Phone 8 will offer support for more powerful, dual-core devices – something which will undoubtedly be hindered by the support for older hardware.

To try and keep the peace, the Redmond company offered a meet-in-the-middle release in the form of Windows Phone 7.8, which, among other features, will offer the new variably-sized home screen tiles, allowing more to fit within the display.

As has been the cased with most of the software maker’s announcements over the past few months, some key detail were purposely left out with regards to what WP7.8 will bring, but now some of those features are beginning to emerge.

A leaked document has emerged via SmartPhoneFrance offers quite a few juicy details, specifically with regards to some new camera functions. The document is reported to have arrived courtesy of Finnish outfit Nokia, so its contents may not necessarily be true to each and every Windows Phone device, although a large proportion of WP7.x users are rocking one of the company’s popular Lumia devices.

The leak states Windows Phone 7 users will be treated to a greatly-improved camera app featuring Smart Group Shot, action shot, panorama and self-timer functionality. In addition, Wi-Fi tethering will also be a feature of Windows Phone 7.8, which allows one to tether a device’s Internet connection with other devices – particularly handy if you’re constantly on-the-fly. Wi-Fi hot-spots are becoming more and more common in built-up areas, but the ability to have the Web available at all times will be an invaluable tool to the majority of Windows Phone users.

Other features include a function which silences incoming calls, messages and alarms by flipping the device over, but even so, there’re still plenty of disadvantages next to the all-singing, all-dancing Windows Phone 8. Proper multi-tasking, NFC, OTA updates, Internet Explorer 10, and the aforementioned multi-core support, to name a few, and the main event will arrive at the end of October along with the main Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface slate.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mickfarr:
Only someone with a brain the size of a pea would post this as news when there is no news.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
I made everything bold that is already present on my Lumia. There is nothing really new here. Lets wait for an official announcement, I am particularly interested if and how API changes will be managed between 7.8 and 8.
[Nokia Lumia 800] rkononenko:
My next phone will be Nokia with Windows Phone 8/7.8 :D I'll ditch my lg500 android gladly :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] ybregeon:
And this "someone with a brain the size of a pea" ****s you idiot, not everybody knows everything about this!
[Nokia Lumia 800] paulheu:
Well, since you basically present this as 'news' and WP 7.8 features there is a point to be made you have not done your homework on this and to be frank make yourself look a bit silly to say the least by posting it the way you did. Your information is old and incorrect. These are Lumia specific apps and nothing about this is either leaked, related to WP7.8 or news at this time.

While it _might_ be possible these features will become part of WP7.8 for all device and not just Nokia that would seem unlikely at this point. You would also do good to link to your source URL as in the current form your post has a very high 'out of thumb' feeling to it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] *Detection*:
Nice post, but these updates already arrived in WP7.5, all except the new homescreen are already here
[Nokia Lumia 800] aj.pai.r:
I agree with 'Detection'. Except the homescreen everythings already here. That is not comforting. Although the homescreen will be quite a makeover. Sometimes i do wonder what advantages will the actual windows 8 user get...
[Nokia Lumia 800] rajju2:
Hahaha....

Still u dont have these features... i have in my wp7.5
[Nokia Lumia 800] paulheu:
@aj.pai.r

What the original poster describes as 'WP7.8 features' have nothing to do with WP7.8 or even Microsoft except for the start screen. They are all additional features/apps offered by Nokia to users of the Lumia series of Windows Phones once they have updated to WP7.5 CR3 (Tango).

Right now we know two things about WP7.8; It will be available some time _after_ the release of Windows Phone 8 and it will offer the WP8 start screen. Other that that we do not know of any additional features or extras.

[SPECULATION MODE ON]

It is generally expected Microsoft will officially announce WP8 on September 5 in New York during a shared press event with Nokia. It is also expected Nokia in turn will announce two or three Windows Phone 8 devices there and at Nokia World 2012 which is held in Finland September 5-6. The flagship Nokia store is currently being overhauled with huge signs saying as much as to expect something big September 7. If Nokia were to pull off an immediate availability of one or more devices that would be huge.

Personally I would expect a Lumia 800 style model as low-end(800x480) with more memory but no SD card slot, a 900 model midrange(1280x720) also no SD but more memory, a new model featuring PureView technology and possibly a Samsung Note type model. High-end quad core devices are not expected this year.

The 800 and 900 style models might actually have an SD card built in, so not user replaceable.

Just as the title states, does anybody have any suggestions on where to find some fairly good quality skins for the nexus 7? I have found some on xoskins and amazon but not sure on the quality so I'm hoping somebody has some experience...

Thanks!

Ok thanks guys! Are they removable if I get a replacement?

Please hit thanks if I helped! Sent from my GS3
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Lakilaulea:
I've always gotten my skins from Gelaskins. Cellphones, iPods, tablets, Kindle, even one for my Beats. I just bought a skin for my N7 and have been using it for about a week. Love it. Good quality, very durable, stays put, and comes off clean. Plus, they have some really interesting and different artwork, or you can upload your own.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] patheticpuma:
The decal girl skins come off clean for replacements, I have never removed them from any of my devices, but my wife changes outher skin every 4-6 weeks. Never any residue, and if you dont tug on it too hard removing it, they can be reused.

recovery just says something is wrong, look at log?

I tried a few versions (of the backup sets), same error.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it? :crying: :confused:

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
This happens all the time to people.

You can't simply restore a backup from another device because then your new device will actually appear as your old device on Google and Verizons servers, which will cause all sorts of problems if Verizon were to ever successfully restore your old phone and try and send it off to someone else. To avoid this problem, the recovery won't even let you restore a backup from another phone, even if its the exact same hardware.

Go to play.google.com, go to view your devices in the settings section. You should see two Rezounds. One will have been activated in the past, and one whenever you first turned on your replacement after receiving it and logging in with your account. So the one that was activated in the past is clearly your original Rezound that you've returned. You can give it a name, like "DEAD REZOUND" so that you know by looking at the name which Rezound Google thinks you're using.

There is a workaround that will let you restore the backup anyway if you want to search for it, but I highly recommend you don't. If you do, you can then go to play.google.com again, view your existing devices in the settings section, and you'll see that Google thinks your new phone is the same one you just sent back to Verizon. It should show "DEAD REZOUND" as being registered again today (or whatever day you successfully restored a backup from your old phone)

To sum up: Don't restore a backup from another Rezound. You pretty much have to start over again.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
I kind of follow... RA is an image backup

so it would duplicate the serial and device specific data.

I could do a TiBu of the user apps and data (and the

new xml files of the call log and sms's), though.

Use an app to export the calendar data to an

.ics (iCal file) and the phone book to a .vcf

for import on the 'new' phone.

Since Google added some 800+ empty

phone book entries and messed up my phone

book, I don't sync with it. I export the whole

thing to a vcf.

So the missing /dev/tty0 device file

error from the restore is just AR not

letting me shot myself in the foot,

right? :confused:

I'll need to install my ROM, then

restore the user apps and data

from TiBu then rebuild my 'desktop'?

Is it worth doing the RUU for ICS

to get there? The new phone was

offered the upgrade OTA, but I think

it was wiped by the unlock prior to

S-Off process. Would I flash

the ICS RUU, then flash the ICS/JB

hboot, to get fastboot commands,

then reflash recovery?

I have seperate micro cards for

the 600mb RUU zip and the

ICS firmware/radio/hboot(JB)

zip.

I'm thinking since I have to rebuild

the desktop anyway, maybe doing

the ICS RUU first is a good idea.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
In reply to the bolded part: Basically, yes. AR's nandroid places the backups in a folder with your phone's serial as the folder name. Attempting to restore any backup from a folder with any other name will fail to prevent the issues I mentioned above.

I do not and have not ever used Titanium Backup, so in regards to that, I can't be of any help.

If you have a linux machine, you can mount the data.img from any of your backups and then copy all the files from /data/app and data/data to your phone. This will restore most of your apps, and app data/settings. There will still be a few things you'll have to redo from scratch, and this may not work 100% for every app on your phone, but at least this way you don't have to redownload every single app and manually redo all your settings...
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
I did the RUU zip (it restarted itself, as expected), the firmware/radio/hboot(JB) zip

and then reflashed AR 3.15 from fastboot. Everything seems to be working now.

Do you know if the debloat script (freeze VZW apps) works for ICS OTA ROM?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
not sure...
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
I couldn't get ViperROM 1.0.3 to not crash (com.android.phone kept crashing).

Trying a couple of others that are prerooted and deboated. So far the ICS &

Sense 3.6 looks fine. Still have the 'social network' stuff to freeze though,

Could I do something like make a zip (from adb shell) of the user apps

/data/app & /data/data directories (to preserve the unix permissions).

and leave that on fat32 sd card? Then merge that into the zip for the

rom to be installed so the installer will reload them?

Would I need to add lines to the installer script to have it load /data (with

the subdirs ../app and ../data)?

hmms maybe better to make a seperate zip to preinstall my saved

/data subdirs? Can I copy the ROMs installer binary and build

a installer script to mount /data, then install the /data directory,

umount /data?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
not really. im on my third rezound and i restored the same viper rom i had before.

this is what i did with AR

1. back up current rom

2. boot into rom

3. use root explorer and find the nandroids

4. noticed 2 folders in the same nanadroid folder ( light bulb)

5. move old back up to the location where the new one was.

6. boot into recovery and did a full wipe

7. restored old back up.

8 boot phone

9. BAM!
[HTC Rezound] akristy23:
This app might work. I use it and it works great but I'm not sure if it restores data.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yeah this works perfectly fine, but can cause the new phone to register on the network as if it were the old one. It is perfectly possible to restore a backup from another phone, and it works fine... its just a bad idea because if your old phone is ever "recovered" and turned back on, VZW might see two identical devices on the network, which will cause problems in the future.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Good to know. Thanks

In my case, the backup is from a device that i bricked totally. couldnt get into download mode so im thinking they will just use it as parts

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinix:
Hi,

I've been experimenting with CM9/10 builds on my Defy. Most things work well but I've been experiencing a problem with USB connectivity. USB connections to a pc work correctly in 'Memory Card Access' and 'Charge Only' modes but fail in 'Portal & Tools' mode. When 'Portal & Tools' is selected then from some reason the MTP Driver fails to install correctly it reports and error 'Code 10' [This device cannot start].

I'm fairly certain this is a CM9/10 problem. I can successfully connect a 'standard' Defy in 'Portal and Tools' mode and likewise a Motorola Xoom. The problem seems specific to CM9/10 builds.

I've looked elsewhere and tried all the suggestions for updating/selecting the driver using Device Manager. I've also tried with USB debugging enabled and disabled - this doesn't affect the symptoms.

Is this a known problem/limitation with CM9/10?

I'd be interested to hear from you if you're experiencing a similar problem or have any ideas about fixing this.

Many thanks.

<update 18 August>

Now tried this with both Epsylon and Quarx CM10 builds and with Froyo and GB Kernels. Symptoms of problem same with each configuration. USB will connect in 'Charge Only' and 'Memory Card Access' modes but will not connect in 'Portal & Tools' mode. MTP device driver fails to install.

If you're able to successfully use 'Portal and Tools' mode with CM10 with a USB connection to Windows 7 it'd be great if you could post a quick reply to this thread. It'll help me understand if the problem is special to my configuration or something more general to do with CM9/10 builds and Windows 7.

Many thanks.

I keep running out of space on the 16gb model of Nexus 7.

I'm wondering if when I rooted something happen with the package that was used?

I read that it has happened before but not sure how to verify.

Thanks!

I had the same problem. All I did to fix was using the Nexus 7 toolkit, I just stock+unrooted back to factory image. Now my storage settings read 9.3 gb available. Yea I lost all my previous data but now I have that extra space I paid for. I think the problem is a 8 gb image was somehow flashed somewhere.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
You can just root your tablet afterward.

A factory fresh Nexus 7 will report around 13.xx GB free. The rest of the 16gb is used by the system and pre-installed apps.

:thumbup: thanks for the confirmation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Sorry, I haven't forgotten about this issue, just got distracted because my Asus TF300T got an upgrade to Jelly Bean and the OTA failed. Dealing with that.

I'm probably going to go back to factory stock but I wanted to make sure I am really having the same issue and that I don't just have a stuck hidden file taking up the space. It has been suggested that I use ES File Explorer to do a SD Card Analyst to be sure.

When I ran that, you can watch it count each file's size and the total used space being calculated on screen. Funny thing, which leads me to believe I do have this issue. It stops counting at 6.5 gb but then stops counting and then you see a total, which is saying I have used 12.5 with 1.5 gb available. Which would bring to the correct total of about 13.5 gb. Remember, when they say you have 16gb, you will see total available about 13.5 because of the index table taking about 3 gb. so 13 + 3 for the index comes to 16gb.

So why did it abruptly stop when counting at 6,5 gb, because that's really all I have used. So the total space saying I used 12.5 gb is bogus in my opinion and I have one f those bad firmwares installed.

That's my conclusion so far.

But of course I want to be perfectly sure.

Can you recommend some other tools to count what I really have and not rely on the system feeding me some bogus information because of a bad firmware file?

Thanks!

Rob
