[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kristion:
Because of it being in the spotlight and in numerous heavily paid comercials by Samsung. Before the launch of the S3 I could see a commercial of the S2 every half an hour on the tv, also if I remember they had commercials in Premier League, etc. The point is that Gnex has a different customer target orientation, developers and people who know what android is and how it works, power users in general as oposed to the S2 which is targeted to casual users who want the latest and greatest and don't care about it having GB, ICS.

However, S2 has its advantages, better camera, better CPU & GPU, better speaker, but it's big downside is its software. People tend to be superficial, they are looking at the spec sheet and say, look, it has a better camera, but of course they do not know that the G Nexus has zero shutter lag which in most cases is more usefull than having a better resolution sensor and several other things such as better software, better resolution, timely updates etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rorzad:
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a big step forward for Android, but it's not the giant leap you may have been expecting. As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irdfgh:
Voice calls sounded great, though. Callers sounded clear in the earpiece, with plenty of volume, and transmissions through the microphone were crisp and detailed. I heard a good amount of street noise through the mic, but my voice always cut through loud and clear above it.

Thanks
[Xoom General] mguinta25:
So im considering buying a Xoom since now they are priced relatively cheap. My concerns are that reviews ive read dont really paint the tablet in a great light. My question is after rooting and installing jelley bean does the performance increase, and is it worth a buy for $250?
[Xoom General] jiffy1080:
IMHO yes and no. The best thing about the Xoom is that it is a Google experience device. It is starting to show its age and you won't get the performance of a more recent tablet. The Xoom still has the best build quality I have ever seen. I dropped it on tile once and it just got a scratch. The tile cracked lol. If you don't mind the skinning and paying a little more get the note 10.1. If you want a damn quick 7" Google experience device get the nexus 7. If you want a quality built 10" tablet for a good price get the Xoom. Once again all IMHO.
[Xoom General] zubr0w:
Hi I've had a xoom from day one.

Jelly bean has improved it yet again.

Considering the price of new tablets, I only recommend it if you can get it for Less than 200 dols.

It's a bit heavy and thick but it's works a charm, great build quality and I just fling it on my back pack when I'm on the go, it's so tough.

[Xoom General] Chocu1a:
I would say, if you can stretch your budget, then no. I Had a Xoom & thought is was pretty great with JB on it. Then I picked up a Transformer tf300t from ebay & realized how old & behind the Xoom is, even with JB. Plus, the TF300 already has JB, too. Sold my Xoom for $220, & bought my TF300 for $325. Well worth the extra money.
[Xoom General] MotorcycleKopp:
I recently picked up a Xoom less than a month ago and I ABSOLUTELY love it.
[Xoom General] Mjamocha:
What is this TF saucery you speak? Shut your face! Booooo..... lol
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenrek:
I finally rooted my tablet running JB! But feels the performance still still a bit laggy at certain times. So I am thinking of zipalign the apk to improve the performance. I did few search in the AsusTF300 dev forum to look for info on zipalign the ROM, can't seems to find the info I need in the sticky.

I did found this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

But AsusTF300T is not listed as one of the device it supports.

Anyone has any info on how to zipalign this tablet?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Rom toolbox pro includes zipalign. Somewhere I have a native android version of zipalign.

I suggest further study on the subject before you go beyond zipaligning more than the apks you have installed and then be prepared for some issues.

Google - android zipalign -

tools directory android sdk includes zipalign

several good links near the top of the list

Good Luck!

Stock JB " /data " includes zipalign.db and zipalign.log - I have not run zipalign on this unit but it has run through the system - this includes system apps and user apps
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenrek:
Thanks for the reply! :)

I install setcpu and autokiller to the tablet. Set the CPU scaling governor to "Performance" and autokiller to "strict" mode. I Use opera browser instead of built-in browser. Now everything feel snappier.

In my tablet, I do not find zipalign.db and zipalign.log in /data/. Maybe this does not happen to TG variant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joverclock:
Hello,

posting here due to me being a noob in the posting section. using the new rc4 of liquidsmooth and did the proper factory reset, and wipe of caches. Used twrp to flash. Over the last 2 days of using this awesome roml. (VERY SMOOTH) I have had a 2 crashes in which the phone rebooted. AFter reboot I'm able to make phone calls but I cant hear the phone ring on my end and no one can hear me. I tried reboots and even pulling the battery. Only way to get it back is to factory reset. I'm using the stock kernel and even flapjaxx kernel listed in post one.

I have reflashed once already also and still had the issue. Any ideas on how to fix? Phone works perfect until this seemingly random issue.

THANKS!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertlau:
Hi,

one query,

normally the battery counter resets back to zero after charging, rite? (the one in the battery option inside settings which shows ..days..hours..mts..sec on battery)

mine is not resetting. it just stays the same even after charging, still showing that on battery for 3 days 12 hrs....

.

could it be due to a recent update to ICS 4.0.3?

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernosoft:
So, I cracked the side of my screen the other night. It's not HORRIBLE, but enough of an annoyance that I don't want to deal with for another 20 months before my contract with Sprint ends.

I contacted Samsung and they told me it would probably cost around $70 to fix, but this thread says it costs around $160 (but I guess some people got away for free??).

Does anyone have experience with this before I decide on sending my phone to Samsung or not? I would greatly appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrazyRussianXDA:
Maybe give this guys a call?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tempest228:
Those prices sound about right from what I have seen. The main reason for the cost is the curved glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernosoft:
Ugh, Samsung quoted me $164 today and 3rd party places without reviews are sketchy.

If these are my options, I'm going to wait it out a few months, sell this bad boy and get a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tempest228:
The nexus refresh is coming up in November, so there should be some new phones to choose from for you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqrt:
Is there a way to turn off this feature? It's hindering my torrents download :(
[Nexus Q General] THE_KINGDOM:
Turning the Nexus Q into a USB host would also be a good idea, if it's not already. In this sense, if it's possible, you could hook up webcams, microphones and flash drives etc via USB.

A microphone would be good because you could dictate to google now, google search, talk over skype on your tv etc..

perhaps a bluetooth mic would do the trick? anybody experimented with this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JonnyBonny:
I am attempting to root my SPrint HTC EVO 4g LTE with software version 1.13.651.1 710RD. my hardware version is 0003.

Ok, my phone is currently normal. Normal meaning no Root, no S-OFF, no nothing. its completely factory. I am trying to root it and am stuck because i have questions, and i have scoured this site and the internet and can not find my answers ANYWHERE. Here are my problems...

I am trying to root my device with the one-click-root that i found on this site. Before rooting, it tells me to back up my device with Titanium or another method. However... i cannot use Titanium unless my phoone is ROOTED so how is this possible?? How can i possibly back up my phone when im not even rooted yet?

Also, it says to clear my google wallet settings. When i go to google wallet, it says this app is not yet supported on my service or device... how do i clear my google wallet settings if i cant even access them? Ive looked on other sites telling me to change my phone into thinking its another device but it all requires a ROOT!!

Please help, ive been so frustrated that i want to just chuck my phone at the wall.

I managed to install all the drivers required to connect my phone and my computer.

All im asking is how do i back up my phone without a root and how do i clear my google wallet settings without a root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] louched1:
1) I think Titanium Backup actually does allow for backing up some stuff without root access now. Otherwise just bite the bullet and start fresh. You only have to start fresh once. After that you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup for future events.

2) If you've never setup Google Wallet than you have nothing to clear. You'll be fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
If GWallet says unsupported and you haven't opened it ever then don't worry about it. There's some new feature with TBackup that let's you backup apps without root. I haven't tried it and idk if it's just with the pro version. If you don't care about backing up anything and can reinstall all your apps later then don't worry about it. You might lose texts that you have sent tho.

Edit: louched beat me to it...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
you can use my backup pro also :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androoze:
I have recently discovered a weird issue with my Galaxy S2 LTE on Rogers Wireless...Whenever it changes network modes (ex: driving in a car as it switches between EDGE, 4G, and LTE based on coverage in area) it causes the screen to go black for a second. It happens while in any app, like if I'm browsing, the screen will flash black for about 1 second then back to whatever I was viewing as it switches networks. If the phone is on the home screen and switches network modes, the home screen will rotate to landscape mode and appear to be zoomed in and then go black before switching back to portrait - which is very weird because stock touchwhiz does not rotate home screens.

I have done a factory reset and gyro calibration and still have same issue. If the phone isn't switching network modes it works 100%.

I'm running ICS 4.04. Phone is not rooted.

Any thoughts???

PS - this issue is especially annoying because at my house my phone gets weak LTE signal so it switches between 4G and LTE frequently. Yes I can prevent this by changing the network settings but I find this problem troubling; is it hardware or software???

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
Anyone ever fix permissions within boot manager? I have Jester's ICS rom in slot 1. I decided to try to fix permissions in boot manager so I went into boot manager, slid over to slot 1, hit the settings button, and chose fix permissions. A popup came up with spinning arrows saying fixing permissions please wait...well that was an hour ago. I don't know how long I should wait before I try to back out of the app.

Has anyone ever tried this? How long did it take you to fix permissions? I know it takes about 25 minutes in rom manager but that is working within ram and I assume boot manager is working on the sd card so I know it might take longer but I don't know how long is too long.

I would really appreciate some input. I would hate to screw up slot 1.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrrrrrredbelly:
The first time you tried to boot up slot 2, how long were you on the white HTC screen for before you gave up?

Only reason I ask is I've had it hang up on that screen for a while before, at least 5 minutes. I know this is ideal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
I have given up on bootmanager because I dont use GB roms and it is pretty buggy with ICS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I waited 15 minutes after the restore, at least 30 minutes the first time I tried to boot it tonight. I was working on the computer and forgot I had changed roms. I was shocked to come back to the white screen. I have switched between roms often so I am familiar with the normal wait times.

I can only think of 2 things that may be a problem:

The phone rom is ics and slot 1 is ics so maybe gingerbread is too big a change.

Phone rom and slot 1 are ext2. Thundershed in slot 2 is ext4.

I'm really surprised the backup I made in boot manager didn't work even if something went wrong to bork up the rom.

At this stage I just don't find ICS usable as my daily driver but I love playing with it when in the mood. Boot manager could be the solution.

Anyone else try a set up like mine?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I set it up again the same way and have gone back and forth between slots without a problem. Either it was a fluke or going too long in one slot somehow messes up the other one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
I bought it, I used it.

It didn't work, it frustrated me, I did finally get it working eventually, but never wanted to really mess with it again.

Just wasn't worth the time and aggravation and disappointment the next time it would decide to fail to boot.

So I pretty much gave up on it and got super tired of how much it slowed down boot time before the device was ready to use.

All the superuser prompts and not to mention all the space it used on sd card and possible sd corruption.

In the end, I regretted paying 15 bucks for it, but at the time it seemed like a great idea.

That's pretty much my experience with it, FWIW.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
I swap between Gingerbread and ICS all the time without any issues.

My main is Gingeritis3D and in my other slot, I have Liquid and Jesters ICS.

I've never had an issue.

My question is, have you ever had another ROM in that slot before?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm47:
in my experience I've only had problems when running ICS roms as the phone/base rom. I had a similar issue as the OP with an ICS phone rom... I eventually had to do a nandroid restore because bootmanager wouldn't boot back up after testing something else.

If the phone ROM is a gingerbread rom, it usually works for me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I would prefer thundershed as my phone rom but nusense won't install in any slot but phone rom. I bet a bored developer could fix it in an hour. Something about the script. I don't want to bother Santod with it because he is already working his butt off and I prefer 6.4 to 7.6. I'm sure he won't do any more work on 6.4.

Fixing Permissions

Anyone ever fix permissions within boot manager? I have Jester's ICS rom in slot 1. I decided to try to fix permissions in boot manager so I went into boot manager, slid over to slot 1, hit the settings button, and chose fix permissions.

I would really appreciate some input. I would hate to screw up slot 1.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Honestly I've never ran one through the app, but surely it shouldn't take that long?

I suppose its a possibility though.

Any luck yet or is it still running?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I finally gave up and backed out at 90 minutes. Rom rebooted OK so i guess i didn't do any damage. I assume it would do no good to fix permissions in rom manager since the rom in slot 1 is running off of the sd card and apps like rom manager fix permissions in ram system?

Thanks for posting. I remember the salad days of tbolt when a question would get replies withing minutes. Those days are gone for good.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Nah, I'm behind you on that. Probably wouldn't do any good through ROM manager. =\

No problem man. I try to reply as soon as I can. I try to stay active frequently. Lol. Yeah, it still takes a while sometimes.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lextsy:
All,

On my note 1 I always used my apple headphones. I am able to play pause song/ next track and answer calls but not hang up calls or alter volume.

Now on my note 2, I can do all the above but when I make a call, it doesnt work and the call ends however I can recieve a call with the headphones. This is such a weird situation.. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leony74:
You can only use Android specific headphones for volume controls and playing none of the headset with three buttons will work except u can recieve calls.Android headphones are klipsch s4a and s4a2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lextsy:
Ok I have found the issue. When the music app is open, and I go to make a call the phone just loses recognition that my headphones are in however if i exit the music app and make a call then it recognises it. Its like the phone can only use them as one but not both, although if i am listening to music and recieve a call i can succesfully pick up a call.

weird?

In addition, when I initiate a call and end it, my headphones need to be plugged in and out again to get them to recognise them again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lextsy:
hmm weird.. I fixed it by changing headphone output to surround instead of stereo..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numeric-mischief:
Sounds like you have a problem with the headset button priority. It looks like your music player is taking priority over the phone app, which is causing the bad behavior. Try Headset Interceptor on the play store (free app) to make sure the button press is directed to the proper app.

Why do we have so many toggles in extended toggles yet there is no 4g toggle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aghasi24:
What rom are u running
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
It's made and ported by someone, lol I forgot who. Try asking that dev. I'm guessing it came from the original s2 which doesn't have 4g which explains why we also don't have it.

Edit: Wanam made the toggles port and I think sleshepic helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The 4g toggle was never implemented by Wanum in his original release and noone has been able to add it in since it has been ported over. I'm sure it doesn't help that we've lost a few of the best devs to other phones since then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
yeah, what TD said. The 4g extended toggles we had on GB was actually a mod that added 4g to the standard set, and was not based on wanam's toggles from the international s2. The problem with that now is that the smali files we have to go off of don't exist anymore in ICS - totally different set of files altogether. And unfortunately I am not qualified to write in whole smali code at the moment

thought the whole point of project butter was a smooth, non choppy nexus here... that's not the case at all on every jb rom I've run. currently on cm10 now and it's just ridiculous how the launcher is choppy even using an aftermarket launcher like nova. it gets caught up switching screens, switching between apps etc. I never had ics on my nexus, but I'm wondering if I should flash an ics rom for a better experience? or just go to the stock ota that came out for verizon lately?

**EDIT**

pretty much just came to the conclusion that running the AOSP roms were laggy for me. flashed stock OTA JB rom, and it's MUCH quicker with less stutter, even with every home screen filled. woo!
