[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Yup. I've been trying to decide which I like better between the two, and the larger battery on the Note is the biggest factor for me.. But the DNA is sexy, I think I'm gonna wait a month or two and see what happens with the two phones in development. I still have 12 months on my contract so I will be buying out of pocket, right now the DNA is $100 cheaper, but that's not a big factor like the development situation is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The Note II probably also loses some capabilities with an AOSP ROM (not sure how proprietary the S-Pen is) which is also worth consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Yes you are right, that is something to consider. I dont plan on buying either w/o knowing I can unlock the bootloader and put AOSP or CM on it. So I dont plan to use any of the S-functions or Sense features, all those will be removed from my device. If I can use the pen as just a stylus then I will, and if it doesn't work at all then that is fine with me too. The important thing to me with either phone (besides screen and battery) will be how much attention they receive from the developers, and I'm thinking that will lean more towards the Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The S4 pro (DNA) is the same as the Nexus 4 so that could help in porting, while the Note II is Exynos (more powerful but Samsung exclusive).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crobs808:
OK, so the DNA is the same as the N4...that's comforting. What is more powerful about the Note II?

I'm eligible for an upgrade but I have unlimited data so I'll be buying out of pocket anyway to keep my unlimited data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Verizon's page has a "compare" feature that will show you the difference in specs side by side.

I read that the VZW Gnote2 is available now, so hopefully the forums will get interesting over there soon. I've been following to see the bootloader unlocked but there are hardly any threads yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The Exynos is graphically superior to the S4 pro with the down side of being a Samsung exclusive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Note II and DNA are obviously newest stuff out, if you are going for vanilla though Note II probably wouldn't work for you as CM isnt going to be optimized for the S Apps... DNA looks like they already unlocked so may be better on that front.

Not really worried about an upgrade here 4.2.1 is running good on my Nexus and waiting for CM 10.1 on the d2vzw...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crobs808:
CM10 was too far behind for me, so I switch to AOKP to keep stability/speed but have the features I needed. Also, I cannot tell any difference between my Nexus screen and the DNA one, so that's also not a factor.

I guess it will come down to AOKP - I'll choose whichever one comes out with a 4.2 AOKP release first.

-edit-

Can't believe I'm saying this, but after using Windows 8 Pro for almost a month now, the Windows 8 Phone doesn't look too unappealing. If WiFi tether works then I might be swayed...been on Android for over 3 years now. Tough choice.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
Hey.

I'm trying to unlock bootloader to send the recovery with fastboot but it stucks on sending de unlock_code.bin

The fastboot detects the device, i cant also do commands like reboot or reboot bootloader...

When i type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it stucks on sending forever.

I'm using a usb 2.0 port also in a windows 7 64bit, i've tried all the usb ports lol

What can i do?

I really need to root this device
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
have you enabled usb debugging in your stock rom?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
Yes, its enabled, i saw many people with this problem and i tried many things like install another RUU that i can't also lol

I have right now the 2.3.5 installed, i don't know what to do anymore
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
do you have htc sync installed for adb drivers and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device

what does it say when you type in cmd:

adb devices

EDIT : make sure htc sync is NOT running in the background
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
I've installed htc sync to have the drivers, then uninstalled htc sync program and left the drivers.

If i connect the phone i put in "charge only" and then typing adb devices it has my device there.

I didn't understood this part: "and have you checked device manager for (when phone is connected) android adb device", where to check device manager?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] monishvster:
Right click on computer, then properties and click device manager. You should see android usb interface
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
I'll check it at home but i think there is adb something, i'm not sure but..

With my huawei's i didn't have any problem at all with adb or fastboot or whatever lol
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
I think adb is installed correctly..try installing htc sync again and dont uninstall it ..i know u didnt delete the drivers ..but kust do it...and when u connect ur phone in fastboot does it show fadtboot usb??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
I can do that.

In device manager it appears like the image i show

and yes in fastboot it says fastboot usb.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
If nothing works try doing it from a different pc..!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
EDIT: not that you really need usb debugging enabled if your in Bootloader/fastboot mode , but hey hey
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
Another thing, i've tried before this to sync with htc sync and also it didn't detect the phone, it rings any bell?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] droidton:
update sync

you try after updating htc sync. if you fail again, you can contact service center and ask them sync isn't functioning or usb isn't working like that...:highfive: if your bootloader is still locked you can claim warranty :good:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
I think i'll need to do that.

Also recovery fails, i can't do anything in recovery, i don't have a menu, it displays an icon like an error with a exclamation point.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
Thats not an error, fratello mio...it wont have a menu..u havent pushed a custom or cwm recovery yet..thats y its in "download mode" or something like that..i dont think its the problem with your usb or your phone..have u tried it with another cable??im sure u will get the same error(sorry :P)

im telling you try with another computer!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Fas1h:
Start the phone in fadtbootmode. Then when you connect the phone to PC with USB, it should show on your phone at the top "FASTBOOT USB", If it does not show USB means you PC cant find the drivers, in that case locate the device in device manager and update drivers, you'll find the drivers located inside the folder where you installed HTC sync, the drivers folder is called HTC Driver, if you installed it on C: drive, then this should be the path to the driver "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver".

Anyways, just look for "Fastboot - USB" on that white screen, when in fastboot mode and connected to PC via USB.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
And btw what is your bootloader version?

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

he already said that it is showjng fastboot usb on hboot !!! -_-
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] dmalaquais:
I don't have the phone with me, i'll tell you the hboot version later....

I saw something about problems only in 64bits windows 7, but i don't have any other computer with xp to test it, cause in xp htc sync works ok
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Fas1h:
Oh lol, actually I was recently rooting sister's set and this is the problem I faced, windows 7 wasn't picking up the drivers automatically on her lappy, so had to install them manually. While on my lappy, windows found them automatically even updated from online or something without a hitch.

Oh and sister's lappy is on Windows 7 64 bit... Worked fine the way I mentioned. Mine is 32 bit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Had my Nexus 7 about a week now, had some system restarts at random times (when not even using the device) which is a bit of a concern, but read it could be the 4.2 update. But as hasn't happened while using so far it's not annoyed me. However charging is becoming a bit annoying. It's taking forever!

I have a battery widget installed and its stats tell the story. Battery is usually fully charge in: 6 hours 59 minutes.

It's plugged into the wall, with the cable and charger it came with, tried using an Apple charger block to see if it was that, no luck. Not tried another Micro USB cable yet, but may do if anyone thinks it could be that?

Also according to the stats it charges 1% every 7 minutes and I put it on charge at 9:45am this morning at 35% and it currently on 66% and it is now 2:55pm. It also says it will finish charging at 7:00pm tonight.

The app/widget is Battery Widget? Reborn! Does this have anything to do with the slow charging?

But this is a bit of a joke to be honest. Is my device faulty?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foggy79:
Mine charged from 1% to full in 2h10m today. Stock charger.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Hmm, you think mine is faulty?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foggy79:
You are using the original 2A charger right? Have you tried with an other USB cable on it (might be broken?)

Also try to monitor your charging without the app, just write down what time you plugged it in at what percent and check it that way. (the app might show wrong readings).

If you have an other 2A charger you can borrow, you can try to eliminate that to. Not sure how long it takes via a regular USB port on the PC.

If it keeps charging that slow, your battery might be defect..

Good luck anyway
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecicle:
So it's the second time i'm experiencing this ill have my phone plugged into my laptop next to me overnight and I wake up and it only has 4% battery but it says it's been charging all night. . It's got me stumped cause it's been plugged into my laptop the whole night idk how it only has 4%
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
Some laptops and some ports on laptops do not put out enough power to charge devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heartbreak:
If you look at your battery settings does it show that it hits 100% and then drains or it doesn't charge at all? I know on mine it will charge all night then get to 100% and then drain and not recharge.

I've been having the same problem on my iMac. I know for a fact they are powerful enough to charge a device. lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
The standard specs for a USB port are for 0.5A output for usb2 and 0.9A for usb3.

The charger for the nexus is rated at 1.2A, usb3 should charge just slower but usb2 may not be enough.

I just installed CM9 last night on my SPH-D710 and have CWM 6x. I know the reason I don't have Google Apps, I need to know how I can get them installed.

All the sources I've found lead me to goo.im to download an md5 file and then to have ROM Manager flash it. I've tried a few times to redownload and flash but in the recovery mode I get

E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)

E:signature verification failed

E:Can't open /cache/update.zip (bad)

Installation aborted

(and then my guy dies :()

Is there another download/method to get the google apps back on my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
First off DO NOT use ROM manager on the E4gt it has been known to cause major issues from what I have read.

Second for Gapps all you need is the file here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Install from zip in CWM and you are good to go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] perlgoodies:
Thank you for your response.

Are you saying I shouldn't have used ROM Manager to flash CM9?? If I recall, which I'm no expert and it took quite a few hours, I used ROM Manager to boot into recovery in order to add CM9. Is there a different way that's just as easy?

If you mean not to use it for flashing AFTERWARDS, what should I do in order to get the gapps link you posted to work? I downloaded that twice and tried ROM Manager and it didn't work. Should I use a different app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
From what I have read here ROM manager can cause bricked devices so it is safest not to use it at all ..easiest way is to boot into CWM recovery and flash from there .. if you need help youtube QBKING77 he has great instructional videos to walk you through it all with ease
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol.. why didnt you just read the op of the rom you were flashing? it gives clear instructions and links on flashing gapps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] efthemothership:
CWM Recovery

When your phone is off, press the power button and volume up button and it will boot into CWM Recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i second this.

why are people so afraid of reading ops nowadays. they give you everything you need to know to flash a rom without bricking your device.

but anyway. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!!!! never ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carole6m:
Yep. Follow the instructions in the OP, download Gapps and flash in recovery...

What is the path for internal storage??

And does it wipe with system wipes?

I did a factory reset after I screwed up my telephony database and I was shocked to see some pics I had taken earlier that day still there after I had done the hard reset.

On my vivd it was "ext_sd" where I could put stuff that wouldn't get wiped,

When I put the HOX+ into the comp with the usb all I see is a drive called "Internal Storage" --- are you telling me this will never get wiped during all our flashing rooting wiping activities?? That would be awesome. Less awesome than having expansion drives for SD cards of course, but..
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
The HOX+ has no mock SD card. Because it uses MTP not mass storage. All 64GB are on the /data/ partition. If you go to /data/media/ that is the folder mounted when you connect to a PC.

yes as long as you don't touch a WIPE DATA button, you will never lose the "sdcard" shizz this is all documented on the sticky in general

I've installed a couple of different roms (custom en stock) and suddenly my touch screen isn't working anymore.

download the latest Samsung firmware and flash that in odin (instructions on the thread) then after you see the samsung logo pop back up enter stock recovery mode. then wipe everything there. boot up and touch screen SHOULD work.

I have had the exact same thing happen to me - and have found one other user with the same issue as well - seems like too much of a coincidence that it happened after a rom upgrade for it to be hardware - even more of a coincidence for the same thing to happen to three different people :(

Hello everyone:

I have a few pictures that are showing up in my photo gallery on my android device that i would like to delete. They are labled as "Picasa" photos. When i select the photos i do not get an option to delete them, only to share them. I tried to download Picasa to see if maybe I could delete them from there, but all i see on picasa are photos from my computer and not these photos that are some how in the cloud.

Any ideas on how to go about deleting these?

Thanks for the help!

You need to go into Accounts and Sync, and uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums." That should delete them. If not you'll need to clear the cache for the gallery.

Quick question, I did a search on this but couldn't find much info. My wife and I just switched from crapass AT&T to Credo, we got two 32GB SGS3s for free, plus they pay our early termination fees, couldn't pass it up. Credo uses the Sprint network, so my question is am I going to use the Sprint SGS3 roms on my phone?

I have the same question, I think i;m doing the same deal. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pandemicsoul:
Yes, you'll use the Sprint SGS3 ROMs. However, take note that the MMS will get screwed up in the process. You'll have to fix the APN MMSC setting to instead of the Sprint setting that gets input by default. The thread titled "Can't send MMS on CREDO-Sprint phone after rooting,unrooting, please help (APN,MMSC)" on AndroidCentral has the correct info. (Can't link because I'm new here!)

If you flash to CM10, use the Voice Dialer as directed on that thread to access the APN settings.

Ok, many ROMs do not come with the correct APNs for 3rd party Sprint Network users. You have to remove the default APNs and then add the latest Preferred Roaming List. Also known as the Access Point Name (APN).

Here is the file with the new Credo Mobile APNs for any ROM that can't connect to LTE or to Sprint's servers to get MMS messages.
