[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guestk0024:
I have to say, I highly advise against using any of the desktop-based Windows OS for a VPN server. The reason being is that although some functionality for providing an incoming VPN service may be there, it is by no means widely supported and where it is found, can be flakey and unstable at the best of times. Server-based operating systems, like Windows Server 2003, feature a very solid server base (hence the name) and as a result, have much more support and stability when it comes to hosting services used by clients. Further to the point of an actual VPN server, they are very difficult to get working properly and even more difficult to maintain, even on a server-based OS. I know running a server-based OS isn't something that everyone can (or wants) to do, so if you need to use a VPN service for whatever reason I suggest taking a look here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-completely-free-vpn-services-protect-privacy/ or if you wish to shell out a few pounds here: http://www.zeropaid.com/news/94826/top-5-free-vpn-services/ Anyway, that's just my opinion (although one I have developed from a professional background and having endured trials much like you are now) so on to the problem you face...

You say you have setup a VPN incoming connection, via a Windows 7 wizard. I encourage you to check this link out, and go over the motions it describes to see if there are any intermediate steps the guide you followed may have missed.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/210562/how_to_set_up_vpn_in_windows_7.html

After you have done this, please follow the following link to see the ports that are needed to be opened between you and the outside world. This will either have to be done at a) your firewall if you have one (could be software, ie Windows 7 Firewall, or hardware) or b) your router.

http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in_q.php?qid=163

I am unsure whether Windows 7 as a VPN server uses PPTP or L2TP for its service. However, I will hazard a guess and say PPTP, as L2TP I have only ever seen used on Unix-based system. Therefore you will need to open (or forward) ports 1723 and port 47 to your Windows 7 PC. As there are many different makes and models of home router I cannot give you specific instructions on how to do this, but a Google string such as "<your router name here> port forwarding" will no doubt give you guides on how to do this. My money is on something like your router/firewall just blocking VPN traffic, as the ports are not currently forwarded properly.

I hope this helps - let me know how it goes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *BAM*:
I have read across many threads and forums that kernels and radios need some time to "settle" after a fresh install. Can someone explain more or less what that means?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonah1234:
After you install a kernel or radio you should not use your phone for about 5 minutes after you power it on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I never do that. It makes almost no difference whether I let it "settle" or not.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *BAM*:
Thanks for the replies, but are these items actually "settling" or is this just a myth? If they ARE settling, what are they doing? Unpacking sleeping bags and making s'mores lol?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Rofl. They're all getting together and cutting trees and making a log cabin. I don't know. Some people swear by it but I usually don't wait five minutes. I let it finish the sync after it boots and let any apps that request superuser after boot get access and then I'm off to the races. No need for any longer in my opinion. If you have a lot of superuser requests after you reboot or whatever I could see it taking a long time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooneyspam:
I usually let it settle for 2 reasons. Usually after flashing a new rom and radio it can sometimes take 5 minutes or more for it to get signal/data which I like to have for the setup so i can go ahead and setup accounts. A few times I've touched it early I sometimes get force closes and have to pretty much start over. Not sure what all has to settle, dunno if it is the cache or something else loading up. I've had system FC's and a couple other problems when I didn't let it start up all the way before touching it. These problems were mostly on huge sense roms. I just usually let it settle a little so that I can get through setup and everything else without a FC.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Typically if you're getting fcs like you're talking about then something wasn't right to begin with. Every time a rom has ever fced after unlocking it during first boot was something I messed up like not a good wipe or sometimes the flash was just bad.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadJoe11:
Ok, my atrix is running a Faux 1.3ghz kernel, CM10 v2.0 by jokersax. I want to get back to stock as possible. My backup of my original is no longer with us. Can I install fruitcake 2.3.6 with webtop with this kernel or do I need to flash a different one? If so, which one. I can use CWM well, but just don't want to brick my only phone before I upgrade in Oct.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveschz:
You could just use the Motorola software to flash the whole thing back to stock.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Simple. Just flash the 2.3.6 fruitcake and webtop as you suggested, then flash a Faux 1.3GHz GB kernel. Make sure to do a full wipe via fastboot first.

Don't flash SBF's. That should be considered a last resort!

Well, I'd resigned my fate to needing to replace my digitizer. Have a couple dead strips about 3/8 in wide, that go all the way across the screen. The first to appear is about 2/3 the way up, and the other near the bottom which came a week or so later. Soft keys work fine. Get crazy screen action periodically and freezes that can only be ended by screen off/unlock. Here is the strangeness though. Today the dead spots seemed to work, other than a hairline on either side of the dead spots. Noticed this when a city on my weather app loaded that was previously unaccessable (no rotation in app). Checked and confirmed dead spot anomaly with a multitouch utility. Anyway after a little use the full dead spots seem to be back. Any ideas as to what's up? Haven't heard of this happening. Could this be an indicator of a torn ribbon? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovitz:
You can flash PSDFIX or send your Atrix to service, cause propably it's hardware issue.

There are digitizers on ebay for a reasonable price. I just ordered one that comes with the digitizer, half a dozen tools and a precut adhesive to attach the new digitizer for about $60 us. Seems to be an all inclusive. Just search "atrix 4g digitizer" filter new and buyitnow an.d you'll find it no problem.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironman1965:
Got My GS3 I9300 now so not using Atrix anymore (good thing too). Replaced digitizer myself and Atrix is like new. Not more than a couple days after the atrix repair was complete, my daughter got her 2 week old iphone stolen so I sent it to her to use. Some douchebag kid asked her to use her phone to call his mom and as soon as she gave it to him the f@#!$%^ little piece of sh!t took off like the wind. Hope some day the little prick tries it on some olympic blackbelt with no conscience who then proceeds to slowly dismantles him piece by piece, or at least make his hands permanently unusable. Anyway the link I provided is a good source for atrix digitizers.

Thanks all and good luck!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonnyx:
Do you have some tips to share about digitizer replacing? does it need glue or some adhesive?

Thanks in advance. I want to do it but too scared that some screw or somewting will turn bad :(

Much appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
It's really simple. You only need adhesive (glue, double-sided tape) if you're getting just the digitizer, without the frame. I wouldn't advise that since it can get messy. Other than that, you only have to pay attention to the rather short and fragile flat cable that connects it to the motherboard. Just follow the disassembly videos carefully and don't be lazy to remove extra components like the screen, even if it seems unnecessary. It might make all the diference in the world.

When it comes to 240dpi, we are almost there! Thanks all moderators contributing their efforts!!

Some apps like launcher, dual clock, or worldclock are easy to find replacements in play.

Apps like e-mail,exchange, smemo, smemolite are perfectly modified.

And some apps are almost perfectly modified, like

1. phone(the layout isn't right while on call and the keyboard is shown *pic shown below)

2. dual column framework-res (FC happens after clicking account and synchronize / back)

Finally, some perfect mods are still missing from 240dpi , such as:

1. clockpackage (pics shown below)

2. samsungweatherclock (pic shown below)

3. s3 weather / transparent weather

4. splanner widget (similar apps can be found in play)

Hopefully one day the missing parts can be fixed. Thank all you experts!!

I traded my Epic Touch for this phone. Mainly for the pure Google greatness that is the Nexus Project. I got sick of having a phone that I had to mod out of the box to be mildly satisfied with. Having a phone that starts with AOSP is a wonderful thing. As for the iPhone. I will never knowingly buy an apple product. I try to stay as informed as I can and by doing that I just cannot buy a product from a company I truly hate. After having this phone for a few weeks I can say this. As long as Samsung makes the nexus. I will never buy a non nexus phone again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sugarfix:
I use an iPhone 4 as my personal phone and a GNex as my work phone and I'm platform agnostic. I love the fact that I can do what I want on Android, but I can appreciate that the small incremental changes and limited device set must make app development much easier for iOS. That said, when you can build apps quickly, easily and free from many restrictions, it's not going to be that much hassle to create multiple versions of an app for different screen sizes or processor architectures.

I'm glad I have both: My iPhone for the simplicity of the user experience and my Gnex for being my Burger King phone (I can have it my way).

I know I have a lot of reading to do as with any new device, but I am wondering which are the smoother more polished custom ROMs out there for the Nexus In your opinion(s).

I went with the Bionic when it came out and as we all know, Moto and Big Red never unlocked the boot loader like they promised so custom ROMs were/are out of the question (outside of SafeStrap etc).

Anyway, I just got my Bionic replaced again (Free of Charge), this time with a Gnex and it should arrive Tuesday. I had tons of data drops (several per day) with the GB ROMS (Stock) and loaded the ICS leak when I got my replacement Bionic. The data drops got better, but were still there.

Anyway, I look forward to getting my Nexus and making it "Mine" (Hello JellyBean) so what are your opinions on the different (Nice and Polished, Smooth Running) ROMS out there currently available for the Gnex? I haven't had a Samsung phone since my Vibrant, but I remember using Odin with it. Well except for my Droid Charge, but I dumped that POS within a couple weeks!!!

Thanks for your opinions in advance. Also, what about Radios? Which one are you running (if better than stock and you're in the "Southern Arizona area")?

When I try to boot a custom ROM, I get to the Boot splash then it falls into a reboot with a Sense rom.

With a AOSP ROM I make it to the unlock screen. After unlocking it asks me to choose Launcher. Which ever I choose it loops. Even if I left it on the Unlock screen, it still reboots eventually.
