[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barnacles10:
I wanted to share my experience and answer any questions should anyone have any. I searched and didn't find much in terms of full body skins for the nexus, especially the skinomi and more specifically the CDMA model.

As we know size between gsm and CDMA are a tad different. I know that phantom skins makes a full body for the vzw nexus but I was able to get my skinomi for 14.99. I figured for that I would try it out and share my experiences.

What the kit includes -

- one full body skin / 3m / dry application ( style of your choice - see website ) which covers pretty much everything but screen.

- one wet application screen protector

- micro fiber cloth

- application solution and squeegee

- instructions? :P

First impressions -

it fits pretty well. I use the extended 2100mah battery and it covered the door perfectly. ( I think the doors are about the same size anyway ). I did have to stretch it a bit down the sides for the volume rocker and power buttons to fit inside the cutouts perfectly but it was ultimately painless and very easy.

The quality of the skin is great. Its a 3M material but pretty thick. The point is not to add drop resistance, so if you drop your phone a lot this is not for you. This is more so scratch protection for your entire device. It fits the CDMA nexus very nicely still allowing access to your volume n power as well as your 3 pin, headphone and charging port

The screen protector went on painlessly as well. I'm usually not a fan of the wet application screen protectors or that orange peel feel. This def feels thicker then your vzw screen shields but doesn't seem as orange peelish as something like a zagg. Still drying so I won't be able to share how it looks until then.

My only complaints, if I had to complain, would be around the edges. As you can see pictured the corners folded over a bit creating a slight bump on each of the corners. I plan to use a hair drier and attempt to push those down a bit more. Not a huge deal for me.

Overall I'm very pleased for 14.99+tax shipped. I got tired of the bulk of a case and wanted something new. Just sharing my experiences should you want to move away from a bulky case as I did and want to find a low cost high quality product that will fit the CDMA nexus.

If you have questions, ask. Hopes this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SilentO:
Have the same skin and I love it, provides super protection.

Screen protector from them still needs improvement. I cannot even see the screen after 6 months of usage and considering buying a replacement from Zagg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oceansaber:
The screen protector, works perfectly for me actually, going 4 months strong!

As for the rest, I took everything off and left only the battery cover skin and the lens skin on...those rough edges were bugging me too much:(

I really want to be able to 'Share' to my calendar - that is, for example i'm on a webpage, and i want to put the website name/address on to my calendar as an event. I want to hit 'Share', and have it share to the calendar. Same should be for other apps, but mainly browser sharing to calendar would be great.

There's an app on the market that does just this called Text2Calendar, but it was last updated in August 2010. After installing it, it works just as you'd hope. On a webpage, you can share to this app, it will open the calendar where it's prefilled the website name as the name of the event and the address is pasted in to the description. Only problem is that when you hit save, it automatically crashes Text2Calendar and the event never saves. I've tried this app on ICS and JellyBean and same result. It always crashes.

I can't be the only one who religiously uses their calendar, and there are similar extensions available on chrome, just wish my galaxy s iii could do it too! Thanks!

Fix for ICS calendar

Ok, did tinker with it and fixed the issue with ICS calendar - well at least here, but please test it.

Edit - With english translation
[Android Apps and Games] texas83:
Hey man! It works! Sort of - i mean it definitely doesn't crash anymore, which is FREAKING AWESOME. I'm impressed.

Only thing if you can change, would make it great. It pops up a calendar entry screen where you can save the details, and then a second screen pops up with foreign text and tells you to select a calendar.

is there any way that it will just share it to the internal calendar sharing? thanks either way bud!
[Android Apps and Games] biopsin:
Yeah I was wondering where the japanish part of the app would appear:) I have only one account, so I don't see this dialog, I also use a different calendar...but I'll look into the translation.

Edit : New version post 3

Hopefully this will sort the language issue, but about the internal sharing thingy I don´t quite follow. The entries in the picture, are they different accounts? and if they are there is little I can do about it as this the way of android or original coder..Might be a settings in your calendar to set a default account, but that´s my guess..
[Android Apps and Games] texas83:
Awesome work man. I tried the new apk but it looks to be the same as the first one you posted.

The only other thing I was wondering if you could change - whenever you share to the app, it doesn't allow you to select a time for the event. It automatically puts the event as 30 minutes from now, it doesn't allow you to select the time. Can you change that? thanks again for your amazing work!
[Android Apps and Games] biopsin:
..totally unexpected lol

and the english arrays was a waste too?

just for comparison, I have replaced stock calendar with aCalendar

,have one google account, on CM9 4.0.4, and txt2cal is working with no issues. What´s unexpected is how well it picks up in other apps to, thanks!

Could you try to only sync one default account, for test, and see if anything changes?

obvious differences in setup makes this into a ghost hunt, for my part. A log would be last resort, so if catlog is reporting errors you will need to post them here, but chances are slim to none what to make of it :D

First of all, I have to thank all of the credits made by the developers.

I have some questions and please give me a kindly helping hand.

1. Can I have my baseband changed? The signal is weak all the time as I am in asia.

2. Why the interent connection logo appears as 4G even I am using hspa only? Can I change it?

3. Why everytime I open the address book, it tries to open ATT address book? Actually I don't want it but I can't see how to disable this or how to uninstall the ATT phonebook.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooshubob:
Hi all, my parents are heading out of the country soon. They wanted to pick up a cheap android phone to take with them and to give to a relative there, and I was suggesting the Nexus S (it's around $100 on craigslist and ebay)

However, I'm curious if there is any sort of carrier-lock placed by AT&T on their phones that makes it so I can't slap in another SIM card from an international provider?

I've always heard nexuses don't have any carrier locks, but wanted to clarify. If it does have a carrier-lock, is there an easy guide to getting around it?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
There is no lock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooshubob:
Sweet! So I can just pop in any SIM card and get service (don't need data really)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Yes. As long as the carrier supports the bands the phone uses. Almost all do.

The ICS update isn't installing on my Atrix 2. The download process will finish and the installation will start, but it stops just a little into it and the phone will restart saying that the software update failed. I purchased the phone used and it was already rooted when I bought it. Will that keep the update from installing? How can I unroot or flash back? I'm new to all this, so I'm not entirely sure what to do and I don't want to try anything without knowing anything for sure. I don't want to mess up my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have the same problem. Have rooted Atrix 2 on 2.3.6, official update is downloaded, but after "install" it just boots back to 2.3.6, and in About device section it says "Update failed."

General question now, how to officially update rooted phone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well all of you have modified or removed some of the stock system apps.of you are rooted go into cache/recovery and see the last_log it will give you the reason why the update is failing.

If you are not rooted just fxz back to stock and then try.

Dears i like to tell u guys i am absolutely new with Android this is my first android phone.

I have experience of updating windows phone, i had HTC touchpro 2 and HTC hd2 several time i update custom rom on it. And off course all this i learn via xda and helpful memberz like you guys.

So therefore kindly guide me as new student. I have few questions

1. How i get into cache /recovery to see last log coz i did see any option in cell to find log.

2. If i am able to get stock 2.3.5, can phone starts normally and can i use it because this is at&t phone and i am using in in pakistan with other gsm carrier.

3. Can cell update via OTA to 2.3.6 and ICS after stock.

4. Kindly mention link how to downgrade to stock, i mean procedure.

any other thing which is helpful in this regard.

Thanking you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well first of all you need to be rooted to see the cache folder.if you are rooted download root explorer or es file explorer.using that you can go into cache folder and see the last_log

Anyways if you wanna return to stock use the procedure from here and you'll be good to go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29560267

And yes if you fxz back to 2.3.5 you can OTA to 2.3.6 and then to ICS but in the link above now you can directly goto 2.3.6 just read the post and follow the instructions carefully

[Motorola Atrix 2] arunsankar:
I have an Indian MB865 which is on 2.3.6 (5.5.28.37). The issue I am facing is of the signal strength which never goes above -75dbm 19asu :crying: I've tried with different carrier and the problem still persists. However, my defy is showing above 28asu (mostly 30asu) on the same location. I am having wicked battery drain on cell standby (above 40% on typical usage). Please share your opinion on this. Does anybody else on Indian 2.3.6 faced this issue? I believe its a baseband issue? If then, is it possible to flash the 2.3.5 baseband over 2.3.6? Please help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] badbomb:
Instead of flashing the baseband from previous version, you can as well update to ICS OTA and see if that fixes the problem. The official update has been rolled out in India and should be available for your phone. It will be around 230 mb in size.
[Motorola Atrix 2] arunsankar:
No friend, it won't solve the issue. I got chance to check out a couple Indian Atrix 2 and all of them have strongest signal as -75dbm 19asu. Seems likes its done like that. I tried flashing the 2.3.5 baseband, but the issue persists. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
2.3.6 does have some network issues.. my signal strength varies from -75/19 to -115. Im on ICS now and still the signal strength is the same, but the battery drain from standby and has greatly reduced.

Batt backup has improved a lot in ics..
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Don't bother tinkering rom/firmwares for this. Just go OTA ICS bone stock rom, opt for 64k sim & that's it. Things you can see in terms of what works best in your area is by choosing for options between auto or manual network operator select & within each of them for checking auto only, 2g only or 3g only select. Install opensignal app & monitor towers & alternatively also check beforehand for signal hot spot /dead zones, operator wise for your coordinates on their actual site. remember cell tower location works only with 2G networks though. Stay away from crap apps like network boost/refresh etc as what they basically do is turn radio on & off. Use a nifty app like nosignalalert for sure.

In an unusual move I spoke to my cell network provider to provide me an option for femtocell (google it) since 3g and overall network was pathetic but no dice. Hope with the cell radiation complaint norms in place only genuine issues are addressed else we'll be having even an bigger issue of poor network here in India. On a parting note, when on GB & now better on ICS though, this model surely has low network issues inherently by itself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] arunsankar:
That's a great news. I was planning to take the OTA but for some odd reason, in our company users on ICS are facing issues with Exchange Active Sync. I am waiting because of this.

Thanks for the info. I am on a 128K sim now (BSNL 3G). I think I will have to OTA to ICS first and see how things go on from there.

My husbands Acer a500 screen froze when he was playing Zimga a poker game when this happened.

He believes he had ICS but he is not sure of anything speciffic.

He doesn't have any type of backup.

He never had it connected to the computer.

We tried the factory reset.

We tried the hard reset.

We cleaned the cache & whatnot...

Nothing helps.

I've tried to use the GUIDE: Recovering Recovery/Obtaining SKB

Of course we only option we have, because nothing was ever back up, connected to a computer. I downloaded unbumtu 12.04 and installed it onto my laptop.

The requirements:

-ubuntu 12.04

-micro USB cable

-paper clip ....

I also made sure I installed gcc, lsusb, libusb-1.0-dev, & libusb-1.0.x

I get it to show on the desktop ...

I type in: sudo su

Then: gcc apx.c -o apx -lusb-1.0

I end up with an errors.

If I remember correctly it says that line 4 and line 5 of EPPE code was in errors.

The another time it states...

Then it stats su: invalid option -- 'o'

I am by all no means a computer code writer, and hope someone will help me solve this issue.

I just can't afford sending the tablet back to Acer to be fixed.

I even tried flashing the information on the micro SD card, but I believe since his tablet wasn't connected ever to a computer things aren't running as smoothly as I would like.

I've downloaded nvFlash, blackthud3r, and many Roms.

I.ve even tried to flash a few with no luck. Mister Android has fallen and can't get up with the RED triangle and all.

I can get the tablet in Apx mode.

Also I can get the screen with the Fastboot...

I've tried all the tricks with the volume up and power button and toggle switch, AND/OR the volume down button and toggle.

But without the UIP or CPUID those items aren't doing me any good.

The tablet was only updated the old fashioned way. No customized anything.

Hubby mainly used it to get email and play pocker over the internet with it.

Not sure what other information you need, but I hope someone could get me out of this MISERY!

Been messing with it for over a week trying to read and get as much information about others having simular situations.

Thank you in advance & Hope to hear from you SOON!

We've even tried doing things in different computers...:crying:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, seeing it a stock tab, not a lot of options.

I would try this, here is a link where I gathered 4 500 ICS updates. Note that I named them with build numbers to keep things in order.

Rename one of the files to only "update.zip" (remove the build number in other words).

With the tab off, hold VOL+ and PWR until you see the update start to install, then release both.

Now, if one of them doesn't complete, then try the other. Hopefully one of them completes the install and boots the tablet.

Well, without having the UID number, I think NVFlash is out of the question. Usually we get these quite simply when the tab is operating.

There is a Linux solution, to get UID, but I'm not a linux guy. There's a thread about UID, I think in the dev section. In there are steps to get it through Linux I believe.

With the UID, I think we can run TimmyDeans rollback tool. But as far as I know, you have to have the UID number.

Might be a better way to handle menus. In-app action bars are ok, but is there a standard method to have;

all 'dragged' into view perhaps? Don't know, but having a drag down /something/ that can be extended with what we need now, and what'll be coming up soon would make sense.

Of course the best thing would be to have it configurable. Standard as is, with quicksettings (for Samsung/Asus), with menu on top/with menu button on bottom, with... something else an app installs to add other functionality as an option.

This type of thing shouldn't locked down but extensible for manufacturers/rom makers to get into.
