[Nexus S General] styckx:
I wouldn't touch another device supported soley by Samsung to save my life. They make great hardware but their software division is awful and their product support is garbage when their crappy software makes their great hardware run like poor hardware. I don't mind Samsung hardware when Google is poking sticks at the manufacture to get their ____ straight.. But to depend soley on Samsung is just a deal breaker for me.

Nexus devices till I'm dead or Google stops making them.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
It's a decent phone for now, but sure is not near future proof. Will it be able to run Key Lime Pie smoothly with the hardware specs? I think it will get obsoleted pretty quickly.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
I really like the form factor, it looks really nice, it will be more durable then the S3 since there is less screen to break. The spec for a device that small is good enough, its can still run stock Android smoothly. Unfortunately its not a Nexus so the software side will suffer. At least it has microSD card. I think its a compelling buy for people who don't want bigger phones. Too bad its 480p, skip.

I do owned many big phones including the Note, but for some reason as I get more knowledge of customizing Android OS, I begin to prefer a smaller phones and don't care as much about outright CPU performance. My ideal phone right now would be:

no larger than 4.2"

at least dualcore, omap preferred (sneer if you may)

at least 1024x640 res, curved amoled screen

pentaband

microsd (since that won't happen with a Nexus, 32gb internal will do)

removable battery

must be a Nexus

Not asking for a flagship powerhouse, just something with a small formfactor and practical while receiving direct Google updates, not asking a lot really. This new LG Nexus isn't close to what I'm looking for though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
I just noticed a new app in my /System/App directory. It's called STSystem.apk. I think it got put in there when I installed the new 3.9.16 market version yesterday. BTW my market was force closing for me this morning so I had to uninstall market back to my factory version. All is good now. But does anyone know what the STSystem.apk is? I searched the goog and didn't see any hits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xanathar:
It's the JB logcat extension of the System Tuner app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
thanks. i assume that i can freeze it. done.
[Android General] levander:
This is normally the type on thing you see on FatWallet, but I'm hoping XDA members will take advantage. At least it's a way to get back at Motorola a little bit.

I called to cancel my contract with AT&T. I said it was because I was disappointed over Motorola not fulfilling their promising for upgrading my phone to ICS. I have an Atrix 4G, which AT&T knows I have, and was one of the phones Motorola reneged on.

I told them I knew that wasn't directly AT&T's fault, but I was disappointed because Verizon at least got their customers a $100 rebate. AT&T offered a new phone that does run Ice Cream Sandwich at a discounted price. They did say if I got the new phone, they would want a new 2-year contract out of me. I still have nine months left on my contract. I wouldn't otherwise get a renewal upgrade till like July of next year.

So, AT&T's retention deal isn't publicized like Verizon's (sucky) one is. But if you call and act disgruntled, apparently AT&T offers you something.

The guys on forums like Fat Wallet do this stuff all the time. It's ridiculous how much they do it. But if you got screwed by Motorola and want a new phone running ICS, this may work for you.

I didn't take the offer because I actually wanted to cancel for other reasons. Even paying the AT&T early termination fee, I'm saving a lot of money over the next nine months by going to AirVoice. But, I'm a light mobile phone user. If you talk a lot and use a lot of data, you probably won't save as much as I.

A lot of people are going to want to know what the discount they offered on the new phone was. I don't know because I was trying to negotiate my way out of the new 2-year contract. They wouldn't budge on no new contract. So, I just cancelled.

This probably will work for some people. The people who don't mind signing a new 2 year contract. But if you're like me, and just don't use the phone enough to justify keeping a contract for $60/month at AT&T, you still got screwed because you still got your Motorola phone and you still don't got ICS.

Reports in this thread of what discounts people get offered would be great.

If they are good discounts reported in this thread, people should start calling Verizon and being like, what the hell? People with AT&T are getting a lot more than $100!! Use the competition involved in capitalism to our advantage.

Since some of us geeks aren't as socially adept as we could be. If they offer a discount and you don't like the deal, just say "well, let me think about it" and if you don't want to cancel, just never call them back. If they don't offer anything, just hang up the phone before they really cancel your account.
[Android General] levander:
I guess I should put AT&T's customer service number up here.

1-800-331-0500

first they try to make sure they got your number right thru caller-id, if they have it right press 1

if they don't have it right, press 2 and enter your phone number in

last, press zero to talk to a customer service representative...

The best feature is that it saves your place when returning to the search list, what a PIA it was constantly scrolling back down a few hundred results. Now they just need to let you filter search results by 'free' like on the website.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
I had this on my mind since last year.

I'm on GB (FB's VB) and multi select doesn't work, I have to delete one by one or I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks for the announcement.

The way multi select worked for me is you long press your first item till it selects, then you can select other items.

Hope it helps.

Every time I do a search through my browser (dolphin) I get a pop up that asks me if I want to enter game mode. Does anyone know what this is and how to permanently disable/remove it?

Thanks.

Yeah what is it???

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterT74:
Yes, I am also really looking forward to hearing what this GAME MODE is. I really don't know.

I think that maybe it has sth to do with the new Jetpack add-on, but unfortunately when I choose this game mode thing,

everything loads really fast, but there is no more address bar, no back button, nothing. You can just use it on Google.

Would be really cool if somebody could clarify this "ENTER GAME MODE" thing.

Thanks in advance.

Btw: I am using Dolphin HD on Samsung Galaxy S3 with stock rom, no root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ironzey:
Anytime I use the search bar in Dolphin when the results load I get that popup.

I've uninstalled jet pack and it doesn't do it anymore. I guess Dolphin jet pack thinks the search result site is a game site so it is offering up game mode. That's my guess.

I haven't really noticed any speed improvement with jetpack installed so it's staying uninstalled for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vampyren:
I recently started to get this as well.

Just like you I don't see angry value in jetpack either so I will uninstall now and try .....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ironzey:
It's definitely jetpack. It wouldn't be so bad if it only asked you once but every time I go to an HTML 5 site.

I'll try again after an update. For now I find jetpack unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
Perhaps it's a mode that allows to legally say "GAME ON!" while browsing through sites.

loljk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Loading...:
Game mode actually is a feature that puts the web page into full screen mode. So if there was a game on the webpage, you wouldn't be scrolling around everywhere when trying to play.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterT74:
But why is it coming when I open the Browser with Google as my start page?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Perhaps cause you're searching for games?

No, definitely not. It is directly after I open the Browser, I haven't even typed in any word for searching.

Removed jetpack and problem gone. In fact jetpack only slowed my surfing. And no this had nothing to do with gaming.

Hi guys, i'm planning to get a Razr Maxx and flash it with some roms but i first need to understand :Why are some ROMs labelled [GSM] or [CDMA]... does it mean that for GSM roms i wont be able to use 3G? ( i dont think thats what it means for GSM roms)...

yeah so i was wondering if someone could explain to me what these mean? I'm buying my Razr Maxx from Singapore.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matttah:
I'm trying to increase the volume of my ringtone/speaker. I installed the Franco Kernel milestone 6, and downloaded the updater app and have my sound boost set to 3, however I can't tell any different. I tested by setting it to 0, calling my phone, and hearing the ring tone. Then did it again at 3, but there was no difference.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Common misconception.

That value only changes headphone volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matttah:
Ohhh ok. Do you have any suggestions about boosting the ringtone volume/speaker volume? I use to use Volume+ but that doesn't work on JB.

Most (all?) custom roms at this point boost the speaker to some extent.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
IIf you want to improve your phone audio performance, try Ac!d audio technology.

they incorporated mixture of the best audio technologies available for this platform into one (sony, beats, dsp manager, etc).

EDIT: V5.0 IS UP FOR SGS PHONE. Working smoothly on JK 5 ROM.

Here is the website :

http://chautemseric.wix.com/acidaudiotechnology#!devices-support/cdfs

Or here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002197

make sure you download the files from Samsung link, not other phones. I noticed these 2 packages are different. More apps in the universal version. I tested the universal version and I can confirm this zip cause boot-loop on my device.

Installation Procedure:

1. You must start from clean rom. If your rom has pre installed dsp like awesomebeats,find out how to remove them from system. Any binaries, libraries and apk related files must be removed.

2. Reboot to recovery and do wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. use darkside cache wipe if you are using CWM 5xxxx. recovery.

3 . install the zip files. 2 option by using aroma or manual installation. Choose only acid engine with one of these addon: walkman, awesomebeats, noozxoide. I Recommended to use awesomebeats.

4. Do another wipes and fix permission then reboot. again use darkside script if you are on CWM 5xxx recovery. Reboot. Let sit for 5 minutes then do 2nd reboot.

5. Add some lines on the build. Prop. Follow the instructions from the dev post. Reboot.

6.go to setting-sound-music effects and change to your desire eq.

7.open dolby mobile and give permission.

8.optional: download noozxoide eizo pro from play store. This apps will allow sound effects adjustment for pandora.

Test with walkman, pandora, Google play music, or any other players and see if changing the dsp setting will make the difference.

Don't forget to click "thanks" if you like this mod.

all credit goes to the great team of audio engineer developers of this mods (R-ikfoot / Knight47 / Rizal Lovins / ThilinaC / Krabappel2548). Thanks for their hard work. It is truly magnificent piece of software. Again if you like to pay tribute, you can donate some money for UNICEF.

HI Op what's the SGS Audio Hack? does that just boost the volume without the audio enhancements of the Ac!d Audio app?

Sounds like you have put together some features that everyone is looking for :good: I'm currently using the Volume+ app which is also pretty good but not working on JB yet. I was wondering if yours is working with JB and if there are some major differences between the two.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

You'll need an app like Titanium Back up or Root explorer or Rom Toolbox to delete DSP. Normally two audio enhancing apps will usually not work together well and you'll have to delete one of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
Thanks for clarifying that. That's correct. Remove any sound effect apps from the system before flashing. Do wipe cache + dalvik before flashing and repeat 1 more time after flashing + fix permission.

If you want to know if this mod working with your rom just go to their website to read the detail. All I know is this work fine with stock based rom. I'm using jedi knight 3.5 rom. Trust me I tried most of audio enhancement apps available but nothing beat this audio quality performance . The bass is pronounced very clear and bold without over powering and everything else are nice and clear. No distortion or crackling that i notice so far.

I'm not certain the purpose for SGS Audio Hack.. I just installed all of them including walkman apps and all works really well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
fe1ixs, can you tell me how you set up the app, using Playerpro and Pandora i find no difference in audio with the app on or off. I deleted the Volume+ app and cleared the caches prior to installing the app to remove any conflicts (I only installed the ac!d audio since it says it's all that's needed) and set up the music settings according to the apps instructions and then also played around with the settings using the phones speaker and headphones. With the other app I was using there is a very noticeable increase in volume with all phone functions and music which is what I was hoping to find here but with a bit better music quality,

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
Sorry to hear you have trouble installing the apps. First af all what rom are you using?

Here is the steps I did. I'm using custom stock 4.0.4 based rom.

1. Delete dsp manager using titanium backup. You might want to delete other sound effect apps like awesome beats, volume+, equalizer, musicfx if any.

2. Reboot to recovery and do wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

3 . install the zip files. I installed 3 of them start with the ac! D.

4. Do another wipes and fix permission then reboot

Since you 've already installed the apps and seems like you havke no fc issues, I will just go back to Recovery and do wipes + fix permission. See if it works. play with the setting start with bass.

If still not working, restore from backup and follow the steps above.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
I'm on JMT X which is a 4.0.3 I don't think that would make a difference though, maybe that's what the SGS volume hack is for :confused: your steps above is how I installed so that's not it. Trying to find out exactly what the hack is needed for on their website. I did notice the app zip is for the SGSIII so maybe the hack is needed for the SGSII?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
Could be. The only way to find out is to flash it. Let me know if that's work with you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Thanks for the help, been testing it out most of the afternoon and even flashed Jedi Knight 3.5 which is a 4.0.4 ROM and I did get a small increase in volume over stock but it doesn't compare with the performance increase I get from Volume+ (as long as I stay on ICS or GB). Sorry but V+ just blows it out of the water in all aspects especially in volume increase.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lg777:
I get this app to stop running and have to close it. I'm on stock 4.0.4.

Don't have DSP or Volume +. I do have JetAudio though.

Is there an Acid app also? Not what other applications to look for. I installed the Sony Walkman App and see it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
That is weird. Are you using custom rom? Try another round of wipes and fix permission.

No acid notifier on v4.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
Use the compression setting if you want volume increase. And of course you have to use high quality headset to hear the difference.

It is totally change the dynamic on mine. Try to listen different music style.

Hey guys I have a little problem. I unninstalled dsp manager, wipe cache, wipe delvik, installed, wiped again, fix permissions and I am getting a huge problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
With cwm 5xxxx you probably need to use darkside cache wipe script to properly wipe and fix permission. Try that. If still doesn't work just restore your backup. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
I don't have fc issue at all. Try this. go to setting-application and look for noozxoide then clear data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Angelgome:
Nope no change. Maybe I have a problems from my backed up app even though I used app2zip. You are using jmt x?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fe1ixs:
Whenever you restore apps from backup, select app only. I use titanium for that purpose and seems to be okay. I'm on jk3.5 rom.
