[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
According to this review, the Australian Razr M can be bootloader unlocked.

http://ausdroid.net/2012/10/30/motorola-razr-m-review/

I went on motodev and can't find any instructions pertaining. I assume this is not the developer version, so how do we unlock or check whether its possible? Does anyone know / has anyone tried on an Australian Razr M?

Is it as simple as fastboot oem unlock? I tried that and this is what happened

C:\Users\jlo.APBC\Dropbox\android\fastboot>fastboot devices

TA676001L3 fastboot

C:\Users\jlo.APBC\Dropbox\android\fastboot>fastboot oem unlock

...

(bootloader) fastboot oem unlock [ unlock code ]

OKAY [ 0.014s]

finished. total time: 0.014s

??? I didn't get any prompt to unlock or anything.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
This is for the RAZR i, but the process is the same. You have to get the Device ID, enter that on Motorola's website, and then it will give you the data you need to unlock. Just follow their instructions, and use the thread as a guide also.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
thanks, got the code in my hand :)

Waiting for some goodies to actually come out ROM wise before taking the plunge, also run the hardware in a bit and be sure 100% no hardware issues :cowboy:

Does anyone know, does simply unlocking the bootloader bar the path for future OTAs? (if you don't do anything else).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Hmm...just by getting the code, you may have already voided your warranty. I'm not sure, though, so don't quote me on that.

As far as OTAs go, no, you will still be able to get OTAs. You would only not be able to get OTAs if you rooted and uninstalled some stock apps, or if you installed a custom ROM. I wouldn't be doing either of those right now, anyway, since I don't think there's a fastboot for the Australian M yet. Once somebody puts that up, you're safe to do whatever you want.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Yep by fastboot you mean fastboot flashable system image right?

Always been my rule as well.

I just reread the fine print and it does seem that they want to screw you out of it if you even request the code. That is so lame...

(I get mixed up between different vendors and methods lol... RUU for HTC... fastboot image for moto... odin image for sammy etc.)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Yup, a fastboot is a flashable image. The stock fastboots allow you to go back to stock just in case you flash something else and you can't boot up again. It's a good rule to have. Hopefully, the devs here will get the fastboot. I think there's a way to make a fastboot from a stock phone, so even if we don't get a leak, maybe that's a possibility. If you think you might be interested in helping, talk to mattlgroff or p3droid (jimmydafish on here).

And yeah, I figured that would be how they determined to void the warranty. Motorola doesn't have a way to know that you actually did unlock your bootloader, because you can technically relock it. So, the request for the code is their way of keeping track. Lame, but I can understand the reasoning.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Well for HTC if you relock, it says 'relocked' not 'locked' in hboot.

Still I guess they warned you but in small print, I was expecting to not pop my warranty until I actually flashed my damned unit.

I'm curious about how much dev work we'll get bearing in mind we're a different variant to the US razr M and different radio, or we will get ROMs that don't touch the radio, etc. etc.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcons:
OK so I'm unlocked and have recovery installed. I'm keen to help others and make a flashable fastboot of Telstra's stock ICS system. Can anyone give me any tips on how to do it if it's not too difficult and I'll then upload for everyone to safeguard their phones.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin89h:
I recently purchased a Telstra RAZR M (My first Android) and am keen to look into flashing a custom rom. I'm willing to help out with an upload of the stock rom as well if needed, lets get this ball rolling.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydafish:
This is a rather uncomplicated thing and I'd be glad to help you get stock images. would you care to get me a little information?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
P3Droid made an app that backs up the partition images into and XML.zip and we can use it to make a set of images from the Telstra M.

We are particularly interested in the radio image to see if its possible to flash onto VZW hardware to have an unlocked GSM/HSPA radio.

The process is very simple, you just run the app and it creates the zip file and then you can upload the images for examination.

These images can then also be used in fast boot to restore your phone as well, of course.

Edit: I see he has responded above. Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcons:
Ok will check the app and get to work. :)

Can't seem to find the app... Any help?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
pj i'm guessing as you have changed your recovery whatever you extract can't be the 100% stock all in one fastboot image :) though probably possible if you reflash the stock telstra recovery. just guessing
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
I'm sorry, the app is not available in the market. He posted instructions in the thread in the general forum for the AU fastboot images for pulling the radio image.

He will probably release the app soon too, I was just suggesting it as an easy way to get this done...and now it has been taken care of.

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
so back to basics: how/when can we get a fastboot stock Aussie M image so paranoid/scaredy cat guys like me can unlock and flash with peace of mind of having an easy stock image rollback option?

hi:

im goin nuts on this:: i want to save an image as wall paper as its displayed on-screen..

seems i have to crop etc..and they never come out like i want.

i ve tried doing on device w/ various market apps and from home screen.. tried in photoshop.. etc.

why should this be so hard?

i dont know what to do..

help is appreciated..

thanx
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobas92:
Perfect Viewer can do this. Perfectly, I might add.

Open the picture you want with it, tap the middle of the screen, go to the second to last option, and set wallpaper as current screen.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amkaos:
wow,, that is great.. so simple.. exactly what i needed..

no learning curve..

why cant all these wallpapers apps just do it like that..

thanx very much

And.. I'm going to show you how!

While looking for a windows 8 theme I ran across this little gem ↓

https://play.google.com/store/apps...google&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=alwaysonpc

Java

caught my attention because we don't have java on our browser and phone. So.. to test it, one application or game I know requires it. Runescape!

Yes runescape actually works! I tested this on my nexus full graphics. Its fast but suffers from something I cant quite put my finger on makes the screen flicker on the browser.

Here's a small picture showing it. Its quite simple and easy to use after you get use to it. So.. basically its a emulated PC.

Check it out and give it a whirl!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazol:
I was looking around the Nexus 4 specs but I didn't find an answer... does the fact that the Nexus 4 have a res of 1280x768 instead of 1280x720 (like my Galaxy Nexus) means that the screen ratio is 16/9,6 instead of 16/9 or it's just that the pixel density is higher but with the same screen ratio of 16/9?

I actually prefer devices more "squarish" then as rectangular as the 16/9 ratio (like the Galaxy Note for example, that's 16/10 I think).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
It's a 15:9 ratio (aka 5:3)

as I said it's better to do it manually than flashing. This way u can always make a backup and restore if messed up. use root explorer to navigate to system/app - systemui.apk and check if the permissions are set to rw-r--r--

check if there is a systemui.odex file. If yes delete it and reboot

So I made a backup in TWRP and stupidly selected the "encrypt backup" button... now when i restore this backup the data partition takes 600+ seconds to restore and i boot into an empty ROM, like i had flashed the rom after a full wipe. no gapps either. any ideas?

Not stupid. However, we expected the feature to work, which it does not. I just encountered this with TWRP 2.8.5.0, so clearly this feature has not been tested.

It will be cool for Google to give away like 50gb drive storage for thoes who preorder or buy n4..... what a better way to promote their cloud....
[Nexus 4 General] sk8erwitskil:
i agree with that. 50gb is alot tho. i could see something like 20gb for free as a feasible option
[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Tealc:
I would be very happy if they gave me 20gb IMHO it will satisfy us all:)
[Nexus 4 General] AwesomeTurtle:
It would satisfy a number of people, but there will still be those who believe whining in forums will make microSD slots appear.
[Nexus 4 General] Kjennings15:
I wouldn't say 50 GB is excessive. I have 48 gb from dropbox for supercharging my tmobile galaxy S III. (shhhhh, don't tell them it's verizon ;))

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
I don't understand why Google don't offer a big chunk of drive storage to nexus users.

It's nothing but a number to them, most people won't even use near the allocation they get - but the fact it's there & ready to be used , is what people need.
[Nexus 4 General] funkyblue04:
Nope, I do not argue for an SDSlot. I do want 32gb though. Cloud is slow. Plus it uses more battery and requires a decent monthly data cap which many people do not have access to.
[Nexus 4 General] 02busa:
I love local storage, just as many other consumers do.. They should've offered 16GB & 32GB initially and offer a pre-order for a 64GB version if enough people signed up.. All priced accordingly. I'll pay for it if they make it, just as many others would. I mean I could always keep my S3 WITH LTE, Micro SD (80gigs total now), and a removable battery... Nexus customers know what they want. They choose a Nexus device for a reason.. Otherwise they could be one of the mindless sheep throwing $$$ at Apple.
[Nexus 4 General] Kjennings15:
Actually... Yeah, a couple
[Nexus 4 General] ak700:
Mostly they will offer some Play Store credit. They had done it with the N7
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
Here is what i came up with, for music use google music they are allowing to upload 20,000 songs. For picture and doc etc use dropbox or drive. And for movies transfer the movie to phone and once you done watching it delete it and transfer another one lol. I know its cheap why to live a life :p

I just bought a 64GB memory card a week ago :(
[Nexus 4 General] ngc604:
I have 20 gb of music on google music. 5 gb of google drive space for docs and books. 5 gb dropbox, 5 gb sugarsync and 5 gb ubuntu one for other files. and a 64 gb usb-otg for video. With that i think i am pretty good. I think i'll be buying the 8gb version and saving some money since tmo looks like they will be selling the 16 gb version for a msrp of $599.99. I wont be gouged $60 in tax. Thats bull****!

I also have a nexus 7 which the usb-otg is/was for and that goes with me everywhere.
[Nexus 4 General] ArRaY92:
They can give us whatever amount of Drive storage they want, it would be as useful as giving somebody replacement pistons for their new car.

The Drive mobile app is so uncapable of even doing the most basic tasks, that it is comepletely useless. You can't even move files to the location you want, cant add pictures to your gallery, can only download one file at a time, and only access them from the drive app.. Imagine looking at an album and having to go back each time after you viewed a picture, to download and view the next... The same with music, have fun opening each song on its own, and not being able to copy them to your music player.

Drive is just a pity.
[Nexus 4 General] stab244:
If you want the 16GB no contract just buy from Google. It's the same thing and it'll still work with T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.
[Nexus 4 General] DubelBoom:
Where did you pre-order from?! on play.google.com I couldn't pre order... Only wait and put my email to get notification when the device is available.
[Nexus 4 General] ngc604:
I dont think i'll need the 16gb. I have an 8gb sd card in my sensation and utilize all the services i mentioned. with ubuntu one syncing my pics to my computer and a backup of that directory on another hard drive in my computer. The only thing that sits on my sd card is the current rom, back up working rom, gapps and a few music albums i'm not sure if i want to put on google music yet. Google's cloud music isn't great yet but it is getting there.
[Nexus 4 General] jmquez:
Corrupted MicroSD is what broke my Nexus One and made me buy an iPhone.

64gb of MicroSD card just makes you carry loads of crap that you dont need.

Digital hoarding is a thing.
[Nexus 4 General] 02busa:
Not when it's Tons of Music, and Nandroid backups. People with data caps can't really afford to stream when they're away from wifi. More storage in the form of ondoard flash or a micro sd slot is a must for MANY people, and will remain to be a deal breaker for alot of people. If Google wants to compete, they need to at least add 32GB and a 64GB while pricing them accordingly. Tons of people bought the Int. GNex 16GB for $500+... Do you really think they would pass on a 64GB Nexus 4 @ say $549 or $499???..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
I'm deciding on my first smartphone. I've used Sprint's GS2 a lot. I understand at&t's s2 has a better processor but about 5% smaller screen than the Skyrocket. Using at&t's networks with Straight Talk, I wouldn't even really be able to take advantage of 4g LTE speeds with the Skyrocket.

I want lag free gaming (ps1 games especially) and web browser. I heard ICS made the Skyrocket laggy. But tell me, why should I get the original S II, since I see threads about it being superior to the Skyrocket. Thanks.

But if I'm doing a lot of gaming, wouldn't the extra screen size help for the on screen controls? The ideal setup is playing on a tv via HDMI with a PS3 controller, but 75% of the time it will probably be on screen playing. I don't even have an MHL cable yet (nor a smartphone for that matter). I'm concerned that the processor of the Skyrocket will lag with PS1 & N64 games or other higher performance games. Also laggy web surfing would be really annoying.

When comparing the processor and gpu on these two phones, I don't think it even really matters. Different apps will run differently on both phones. It's all about software optimization, rather than hardware. And really, it's only resource-heavy 3d games that will be affected by the hardware. And even then, you can have games run better on inferior cpu/gpu if there is better optimization for that particular chipset. I can say that my previous phone, an LG thrill 4g, ran games at a higher frame rate than my i777 does (and it definitely had an inferior chipset). On paper and benchmarks, yes, the i777 has a superior chipset. But in real world application, this is not always the case.

The Skyrocket's screen looks more pixelated IMO because it have the same resolution than ours, but bigger screen. Its more easy to see the pixels there.

The skyrocket is an inferior device, when compared to ours. This has already been proven and stated. Unless u have a fetish for. 2. More screen space and lte data speed. Which u won't be able to notice with normal daily usage.

OP, here is the note and suggestion.

If you're here long enough, you know that if you ask "which ROM is better or which kernel is better?" you got turned down immediately.

Why? 'cuz fans of this specific ROM will claim it best and trash others, therefore to prevent those situations, you will be guided to "try your own, try everything, and get the one that best fit for you." That is the philosophy of this room.

Carry it on to your question, you should try on both SGS2 and SGS2Sky and find out which best for you; if you ask in this forum, you will get the biased answer. If you ask in the other forum, you will still get the biased answer. Remember, Android fanboys are as bad as iPhone fanboys.

As for your concern about the screen size, smaller? bigger? Again, it's personal preference, purely. iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S is only 3.5", newly anticipated iPhone5 is only 4", the SGS2 ATT is 4.3", the SGS2Sky is xxx, the SGS3 is yyy??? They all have their own fans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] j510:
You won't be able to notice the LTE data speeds because it will become normal to the user. What really matters is how the phone stands in.the real world.

It's about time someone in this forum isn't a straight up fan boy who gets offended by the slightest and feels they need to defend themselves or this phone. Because in the end that's all it is just a phone. Personal use personal preference, chill out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1:06am:
Skip the skyrocket! I bought it thinking it was better because of the slightly larger screen and the 4g. Like some one else said the screen is the same ratio but blown up and yes you can see the difference. The rocket does not really compete in just everyday use-longer loading time and just seemed jerky. Get the S2 or S3 you'll be glad.
