[Motorola Droid RAZR] Karmarock:
I just updated my Razor to 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU via OTA update.

ICS is quite nice.

I experienced some minor problems (peakfinder started to act sluggish and grabatron is not anymore fluid as before, but I can live without them!)

... actually the enhancement on Wify is relevant and it seems its the new platform, at least up to JB!

Actually a much bigger problem arised for me!

With GB I was able to keep my phone contacts and calendar synced with outlook without having to use the cloud (gmail).

I installed Motorola PIM sync app and using Motocast USB I succesfully synced outlook's contacts to the Razor creating a new account (Outlook Contacts) were I could easily add new contacts also directly from the phone and sync them back to outlook using the excellent MyPhoneExplorer.

Motocast USB is needed just for the first time (it creates the Motocast USB Outlook Contacts account), then I preferred using MPE as it allows you to sync also calendar, toDos, notes, sms and calls with my Pc locally (no cloud things!).

Keep in mind that while there are also other solutions, the

Motocast USB account

creation is the only one that let you add to it new contacts from the phone using the default contact app.

Strangely the default contacts app doesn't let you add new contacts to the

phone account

.

Using instead the standard

gmail account

without syncing it was not an option as I experienced it syncing with the cloud even if not told to!

With ICS I replicated all the process to sync googlefree but, while the process could be replicated ...wait! I'm not anymore able to add new contacts to the Motocast USB account from the phone!

Actually the Outlook contacts account is created, but I can't select it as an option to add contacts to it from the 'contacts' app.

.... this is the problem!

I'm also looking for solutions using alternative contact apps which could work on Motocast USB account, but, as the new ICS contact application is nice (finally I can search in all of the contact's fields!) I'd like to use it.

Anyone has a solution or an alternative working contact app?

'use gmail' answers not accepted! I didn't open this thread to discuss the opportunity of using gmail :p !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Karmarock:
Solution: use go contact ex!

I just want to share the solution I found to my problem.

Actually I had to resign to the fact that it seems that the standard ICS contacts app doesn't let you add contacts to accounts other than the google one:

- Phone account (not visible from 'account manager' but actually is were Mobile Phone Explorer can add your contacts as an option instead of Google account). This was not possible either with GB

- Motocast USB account (still visible from account manager, but with ICS it's not possible anymore to add contact to it).

What did I do?

1) Deleted Motocast USB account (its now useless for my purposes)

2) Synced Outlook contact with the Razr stating that I wanted to add the contacts to the 'phone' account (not google/gmail)

3) Use Go contact ex to manage my contacs and specified in the options just to use 'phone' contacts and add contact to it (they had been synced to Outlook with no issues!)

This is not the kind of solution I preferred as I had to install an additional app, but, at least I succeeded in keeping my personal data away from the cloud (at least having the illusion of succeeding in it ;) )

Also

Can i have stock apps precisely camera and video player running in rr2.7 ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
first and foremost on XDA what u have to learn is this.

1) Do not spam the board with new threads for each and every issue of urs in the first place.

2) u should search before posting ( u can search rr thread or post issues there).

3) no stock apps will wrk on AOKP based roms due to framework changes, unless the app is modified to wrk on the same:)

4) sincere Request not to spam the board anymore, do post ur RR rom related issue on the rr thread not here:)

The pink hat swag on button hack ! It activates the hidden core inside the phone :)

And the AndroSmartStart Mod you can use this to start your car only works with hybrid electric cars. If you pair up with your car with BT . Set a password (a good one ;) ) then all you need to do to unlock your car and start it up is just hold your home button in for 5 sec :)

The phone logo on the backside of the phone. Swipe it from left to right three (3) times and then swipe it from right to left four and a half (4½) times and then the phone will vibrate five times and activate a hidden entrance in your room.

The entrance leads to a secret basement filled with jellybeans and freezers with ice cream sandwiches. Oh, a cola and/or pepsi machine will also be there.

[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Too broad of a question. There are MANY mods and tweaks, ROMs, Kernels, and script combos. Far too many to tell you which one is the best and which one will work best for you.

This is even worse than "what ROM is the best" ... no answer. Try em yourself. Find what you like. Trial and error is the only solution.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
This should be one of the main rules of XDA.

Why? Well, it's simple. Different uses, different quality of the CPU-chip silicon and a bunch of other factors will always play in.

This is not a question per say but more of wondering. I see the specs are fantastic for this and boasts an amzing batt life. I am able to upgrade and don't need a tablet sized phone. Already have a rooted nook tab!!

So for all you that have this, is this what you expected and what are your experiences? And how are the smart actions?

Mod if you think this belongs in the Q & A section please move and my applogies.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-Intimidator:
Using it daily like how I using on my DX with 1900mAh battery. My DX last no more than 7 hours like how I'm using this. You will see it charged for short time cuz I was transferred some saved files to my RAZR SDcard. But, it last me pretty damn good.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyxlp:
I love the Razr M so far in every way *except* the battery life. I've been off charge since around 9:30am -- it's 2:30pm now and I'm already down to 50% with light to moderate use.

Then again, I am coming from the Razr MAXX, which would still have 30-50% battery left when I hit the sac.

After they made the MAXX, I don't get why they'd ever make anything else with less battery than that. Who doesn't want more battery life?

I'd easily and gladly like with the added phone thickness. It was barely noticable on the Razr, and the Razr M would still be perfectly sized even if it was 25% thicker with MAXX-like battery capacity.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
For the size of the battery and the internals, I'd say it's solid. Not "out of this world", but definitely good for what it is. Signal strength in your area obviously plays a part (which, signal strength appears it could be an issue... possibly). It also idles really well.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmic06:
Thanks for all the input. I am coming from a droid incredable..the first one. Just want to make it a day or so on a batt and not have to charge it all day. Plus from what I read you can really customize when it uses and not uses data.....
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
Yeah it has Smart Actions - which is basically like a more intuitive, better integrated version of Tasker.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcons:
Llama is way better than smart actions. Smart Actions does not even 10% of what Llama can do. check it out on Google (Play) App Store.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melo563:
They seem to do the same thing actually smart actions can do all the things that were listed if you set them up for a profile. Looks like a good alternative if this phone didn't come with smart actions.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyxlp:
Speaking of Smart Actions, at the risk of hijacking the thread...:

There's one for "Connected to WiFi" but there isn't one for "Disconnected from WiFi" so I can make a rule to shut off Mobile Data when I connect to WiFi but I can't make one to reactivate Mobile Data when I'm *not* connected to WiFi and it won't do it on it's own without a reverse rule for it.

Anyone have a way around this?

Any help appreciated - thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
There's no need to shut off mobile data when WiFi is on... Android does it automatically. No need to use a smart action for it. If you stop doing it I can virtually guarantee you will not see any hit to your battery.

You don't think it uses battery? I take your word for it but it does seem strange it wouldn't save battery to turn off the data radio. Even a little. It still tracks the signal strength and shows the icon. Not trying to pick a fight..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
I don't think it does. I used to test it on various devices because I too figured it must save battery life, but ultimately I could never detect any battery improvement at all.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tequela:
No such thing as an exclusive data radio... if you're on 4G, 3G, or whatever... that very same radio signal is also used for voice and text... so yes the phone needs to track the signal strength and connection to the tower just to keep you reachable for plain old ordinary phone calls and text messages.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfusion393:
Hi,

Sorry for the long post but these are the events that took place.

Hope someone could enlighten me on the questions below. Thanks.

Questions:

1) What was the source of the problem, stuck at Samsung Logo (with Hydracore) ?

2) Is it safe to restore the first backup image (with Hydracore) with the existing CWM Manager or CF CWM Recovery ?

-----------------------------------------------------------

Problem: Stuck At Samsung Logo.

I was on stock LRQ / Hydracore Kernel 4.3b (std) and the phone was operating normally. A couple of hours ago, I did a nandroid backup with CWMR.. As usual, backup completed and phone rebooted. However, it was stuck at Samsung Logo but managed to go to Download & CWM Recovery.

Recovery processes:

Step 1:

- Recover last image backup with CWMR

- Clear cache & dalvik cache.

- Phone rebooted

- Stuck at samsung Logo.

Tried 3 times without avail, always stuck at the same place. So decided to reflash stock LRQ in Download mode.

Step 2:

- Reflashed stock LRQ with PC Odin

- Phone rebooted normally.

- Rooted phone with Super SU 0.95

- Phone rebooted normally.

- Installed Mobile Odin

- Reflashed Hydracore kernel 4.3b (std)

- Phone rebooted normally.

Not satisfied, tried Step 1 again a few times and the same problem; stuck at Samsung logo.

Step 3:

- similar process as Step 2 , ie, reflashed stock LRQ again.

- phone rebooted without problem.

The funny part is all my apps came back after boot, including the the crapwares from flashing LRQ.

Thereafter, upgraded firmware from LRQ to LRT via phone.

Also flashed a different safe kernel, CF-Root LRQ.

Step 4:

- flashed CF-Root LRQ with Mobile Odin

- phone rebooted without problem.

- made a backup with CWM Manager
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R@J$3K#@R:
I guess the backup got corrupted

When you restored the backup,all the apps got restored but there is something wrong in the backup and thats the reason the phone stuck at the boot screen

And when you flashed the rom using pc odin,you got those restored apps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
could be a corrupted backup issue.

or was the nandroid made on the same kernel?

edit: not sure... but but ur post says ur phone was stuck after a nandroid backup .. or was it restore?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfusion393:
Thanks, it was after the nandroid backup, as written above. Any idea?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
so u mean to say..

- phone working properly

- u reboot into recovery CWMR and do a BACKUP and not restore

- after the backup completes.. u select reboot system now

and the phone wont boot ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfusion393:
YES...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
thats weird.

have u tried speedmod and a cwm backup on that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vfusion393:
Read Step 4 (with CF-Root LRQ). No problem whatsoever until now.

Phone is operating even better now with LRT.

Thanks anyway.

nexus 7 owner

i OWN Both acer a500 and nexus 7 tablet

As a nexuz 7 tablet owner i would strongly suggest you wait until someone other then asus /google makes a tablet. the asus nexus 7 is plegued with issues like screen not seated and loose to cracking with out reason. software issues . not to mention its strange symlink os because of lack of storage no sd card slot..

get something from a company with better products would be my suggestion.. google and asus together is a mess..

s

i still love my acer a500 its has some software flaws but with the bootloader from this forum and the roms its a awesome machine..

sent two nexus back with screen issues and still waiting to see if im going to get a refund or new device not a word from google or asus in two weeks they have had my device back for 30 days..

just my opinion im sure others have better experience .. good luck on your decision.. we will love you either way ..

erica renee

OOPS i forgot . I still love my acer a500. and I LOVE all the awesome people of this forum especially the Developers great work everyone. THANK you all very much ..

Hi MD. i know you prob thought i was gone.. your doing a great job here in this forum.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
^ Disregard this nonsense.

I've been using the Nexus 7 since July 23rd and it's flawless. Everyone I know who purchased one has found it flawless. SOME early ones had issues, but they're on their 4th production run now and the small issues a few people had have been addressed.

With the Nexus you are assured Android updates as soon as Google makes them. And a pure Android experience, too.

With Acer (yes, I have an A500, too), you're assured of slow updates, missing features, and bloat. You'll maybe get one major update, then you're on your own.
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
Ill get the acer a700 :) im acer all the way for some reason nexus just doesnt seem that good to me plus the microsdcard is a must
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Disagree. but we all cant feel the same can we . Hi

im thinking we will have to disagree about the issues being fixed. That is far from the truth.. people in large numbers are still reporting issues with then 90 build. The screen lift is not as bad from what i have been reading. Since ASUS is now leaving some of the bezel screws out on the left side of the device.The good side is now its easy to get one in your had as there is less demand on it. But getting a replacement can take a month or longer. There are several new post just this morning about screen lift issues Dead spots on the digitizer Yellow splotches appearing on the screen and so on..

I am so very happy that you got a perfect one. There are people who are 100 % happy and satisfied with there NEXUS 7 TABLET. The issues is not a first one production issue its a design flaw where they weakened the bezel on the left side to make room for the digitizer connector..

The biggest issue is that the google play store is not set up to sell hardware. This is where people are being charged 2-3 times for one device dealing with refunds . Its been the worse ever purchase of anything for me.

Yes im kinda impartial on this message because i have had two bad exchanges and a bad original device. NOW i have both sent back and still waiting to see if im going to get a REFUND. i told them I Do not want another pleagued device.. I will get a note 10.1 im thinking. Thou i wanted a 7 inch device..

This is just my opinion of the device From the reading i have been doing on many forums. Yours could be different and is equally respected ..

Thanks Erica Renee angry with google. But it will pass when they make it right..

ok matey but you know the tab above is a acer right? not a asus.:o

Well, your anecdotal experiences are not indicative of the Nexus 7 buyer experience as a whole. Venturing out from the forums, you'll find most users are extremely satisfied with the tablet. Forums are generally filled with people looking for a place to gripe and a sympathetic ear.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
The nexus 7 is by asus.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chez-star:
Personally, after having my a501, im convinced that acer have somehow managed to go backwards from the bad old 90's days of horrible build quality and support for their laptops... Asus or Sammy for my next tablet easy.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
i would agree that people who have issues seek out the forums to not really complain. but to consult and discuss there issues and experience with others. Just as some people seek out the forums to try and knock down people for there experience..

I think the nexus is a perfect size the development is stronger then it will likely be on other devices because its a nexus and from google direct so to speak.But perfect its not..

and yes i know the one here is a acer .. sorrry i did not mean to make this thread a nexus bash or not thread.. I think the acer looks nice and if it has micro usb port is a added benefit.. the big question of course with acer is the Boot- Loader.. will it be like the a500 or like the a200.

Does anyone have any information about rather the a 110 will be locked or not .?
[Acer Iconia A500] KrisPerry:
Is it true the a110 has FM radio. For me this would be the deal breaker since I am looking for an incar solution

ah no srry was my mistake i totally noobed out and forgot the nexus 7 was made by asus,. im a dope thanks given for apology :D
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Its all fine . None of us are perfect.. By the way im getting a Galaxy note 10.1 monday
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
yeah i saw the galaxy note 10.1 a few days after seeing the a110

im not sure as i would love to have a 7inch plus a 10.1 instead of two 10.1's but the note is drawing me in big time.

anyone know how to get the pop-out youtube player like on the note and s3 on our tabs?
[Acer Iconia A500] KrisPerry:
What do you mean by pop out
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
you can minimize youtube player to a little screen and move it around your whole screen, and do other things while the video "pop-up" stays on top,....watch video and check e-mails at same time.:highfive:
