[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippid:
Glad to see swimguy is on board now :p

Get the M. Does the GNex have a battery? (Joke people, don't burn me)

Motoblur is too bad once a million bloat apps are frozen. Our ROM selection is slim but quality. All are daily drivers. I had the same dilemma. I figured I get the M and when I drop and break it, I could buy a gnex cheap to use till I replaced my M.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pucuck:
I just traded my Nexus for an M and couldn't be happier. Signal is much better and the quality of this phone was a big step up from my Nexus. I was a crack flasher but I'm happy with the setup I have on this phone stock.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
Looks like I'll be getting the M today!

Thanks for the input, glad the community here is nice haha

Pretty stoked to get this phone now. How locked down is the consumer version out of curiosity?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippid:
We have a root exploit! And safe strap!....

No awesome kernels and and all that goodness. That's about it. We have enough to get by.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
I guess no new kernals is understandable haha since the M is about current with software for now lolol.

Do all the OG razr ROMs and exploits such port over easily?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NRGZ28:
Well there' no new kernels because we can't flash them. The bootloader is still locked unfortunately (unless you get a developer edition phone).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
Ahhhhh, dang, wouldn't kexec help? The razr has it, shouldnt the M get it fairly easily?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slogar25:
Yes kexec is actually about to get a big jump. Hashcode just recently got the source for the jelly bean kernel for our qcomm devices(RAZR HD/M).

Sent from my XT907 using Xparent Blue
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
Yes, that's awesome!

I've decided to go with the M.

Now, what color? I'm thinking the platinum lololol
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Real men get pink ;) I like black because it makes the already near non existent bezel even more non existent lol. Didn't dig my white sgs3 much plus most cases looked weird on it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippid:
Get the black and put a black wallpaper on it. Its awesome. Haha I read a blue variant was going to Verizon this month. Anyone else see that?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omegaclawe:
See, I got the phone because I figgured I'd be able to root it... turns out it isn't so simple with the Japanese version. Oh well... if you discount all the developer options, this is easily one of the most solid phones around. Long battery life, and it feels tough enough that I could chuck it at a wall... wouldn't try it, of course. Being waterproof is also nice.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
I went with white haha

I'm loving the keyboard on this phone it is a million times better than the other ones I've used

Time for root hehe
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
You can also change the DPI to 213 to shrink things down some, it still looks sharp but gives you a little bigger work area. Try SwiftKey 3 with the new swipe it's pretty awesome on this phone. I've got small hands so I almost always had to use 2 hands to type on the sgs3.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippid:
It's splash resistant, not water proof. Keep it away from water! Haha
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
keep in mind, the main reason to flash is to make the phone better/faster. I just don't see a whole lot of improvement on this device outside of rooting it. the rest is merely aesthetics.

I, too, was a crack flasher with the Samsung Droid Charge, but that device needed to be flashed every few weeks in order to compensate for the lack of performance from the hardware/ROM.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omegaclawe:
Fair point. Advertising still says waterproof, but yeah... still spots for water to seep in. Wouldn't try to use it in a pool.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
Fun fact of the day, our phone can see emojis (those iPhone only emoticon things)

That's actually really cool

Is that a Motorola thing or all of android?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
I believe its for all Android devices
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddbecker:
They don't work on mine :(
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
It works for me!

And I was running an ICS ROM on my Incredible two and I couldn't see them.

They change to the little android guy haha
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippid:
Its a jelly bean thing.. The emoticon bit. You can see them completely in the Eclipse ROM.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fargles:
Ahhhh okay, thanks!

Why would someone put the effort in porting a tech demo? That time and work would be better spent improving current ROMs, or porting functional ones.

Rootable on all rom versions?

Hey guys ... can you verify if ALL including the latest official ROMS can be rooted on the RAZR M??

I am about to go buy one off CL ... I had a RAZR MAXX HD, but stupidly upgraded to 4.1.2 and can't root the frocker and can't even go backwards.

Quick response would be appreciated ... sorry to jack this thread! :eek:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Yep they can... You have root now too
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jderosel:
go with the razr m

hi there, i myself had the same trouble you were going through, i didnt know which phone to decide on.... so i bought both! i used my upgrade to get the razr m on wirefly, and found a gentely used Gnex on CL for 200 bucks. i did a 2 week challenge of using jus the galaxy nexus. i just poped my sim card back into my razr m today. i have to say the razr m is by far the better of the two. dont get me wrong the gnex is a great device but the razr m is better in almost every way. custom recovery was just ported to the m too so youll have plenty of dev support! hope this helps

Hello. I want to ask how ro improve gps on sgw and which offline navigation app is the best? Thanks for ansvers
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tebor8:
I really like Sygic. I just used it today for a business trip in a foreign country and it works great.

I also use the program FasterGPS from the play store and that has greatly reduced the GPS search time for Sygic.

I hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] modeliuks:
I use Navigon and Sygic but there is no gps signal at all and I can't use these apps correctly. And main question is how I can iprove my GPS signal
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tebor8:
FasterGPS allows you to change the country you are in to the correct one - default is usually the USA. This has changed my signal from nothing or a few minutes to a strong signal in 10 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] modeliuks:
I change country in Android Tweaker pro app to my location (Lithuania), but it doesn't help anything, but I will try FasterGps app :)

Hello there.. I'm having trouble with this app since I rooted my phone and unlock the bootloader in android 4.1.1 yakjuxw, after that I couldn't connect anymore to this and line neither I can't play games online neither.. I can also use Chrome and enter any site, Facebook app works fine and the others common apps too. I though I could solve this problem by unrooting and locking the phone but I was the same.. After that I tried something else I changed my yakjuxw to yakju and update through 4.2.2 the phone was like new from factory, it also erased the cwm I installed but I still have the same problem.. I will appreciate any help, thanks for your attention..

I also reinstall the app several times from the play store and from the page, erase the data and cache but is the same..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
Are you seeing any specific error? Also install an older APK and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gazusin:
No specific error, just this issues with the Internet.. I already tried whit an older version but it says that I have to download the latest version from the market to connect

You can try installing the latest version from WhatsApp website.

The latest version is 2.9.3451.

The thing is that I haven't registered the account of whatsapp in my phone yet, that's what I'm trying to do, when I enter whatsapp it says "connecting.. After a few seconds says: impossible connect. Please verify that you are connected to Internet and try again.

Please reboot your phone if you keep having this problem of connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxmaximus:
R: Whatsapp problem

As soon as you can try to register your phone number below WI fi ... could be your service provider that blocks chat services (remote option I think), or mobile Internet apn are set incorrectly. Since the application does not crash the problem with the connection itself.

firewall or killer app can also cause problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gazusin:
I don't have any firewall or killer app installed.. I just wish to know if all those things that I did first didn't damage or modify some important file inside, is it possible? Even after update it could stay modified?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gazusin:
My concern is not only for whatsapp is also by an online game called arcane legends, before I do anything that I explained I could connect to the game even if my Internet was very slow but now I just can't join or download the patches which is very rare because I can download things through chrome. That's why I'm thinking that maybe some inside file is damage or modify, I'm getting desperate with this, I don't know what else to do..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxmaximus:
R: Whatsapp problem

It should not ... in extremis, if you think your mobile connection is properly configured and is not be another possibility download a stock yakju ROM from Google and re flash ... but first I would try under Wi-Fi if you download and run normally app .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gazusin:
When I changed the phone from yakjuxw to yakju I got the update by ota, isn't it a stock version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maxmaximus:
R: Whatsapp problem

when you have changed I guess you have a complete picture flashed yakju ... having the stock recovery you came the OTA update but are generally the same update partial. the rom you go to download from Google and the complete system is to completely rewrite the previous placing any anomalies. Keep in mind that everything will be deleted ... Read, if you have not too familiar, the guides:

"NO sane chip" mean "insane" :D

What exactly emmc app says???

"Sane chip" = you're safe

"Insane chip" = you're screwed

Yeah, you're safe ;)

ps. remember to hit "Thanks" button if anyone helped you ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
WRONG Information.

The eMMC app that you downloaded from playstore lets you know what firmware your phone's eMMC is using. Ignore the message if it says you're not affected, the type and revision is what matters. That sane/insane stuff is just for Samsung Galaxy S II.

Open that app again. Then see what is the firmware and hardware version.

It will look like this:

eMMC Chip:

Type: If it says VTU00M and the revision is 0xf1. Then your phone is affected by SDS.

Now that you know (the way I told) whether or not your phone is SDS affected you can do a number of things in order to be SDS safe:

1. Update the kernel to latest stock kernel. Starting from XXELLA ROM.

2. Update to custom kernel like perseus, boeffla etc.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Hmmm.... Yes and No. New version 1.4.4 supporting S3 & N2 so I think if says "Sane" it's safe. To make sure you can double check revision and chip model tho ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
Okay. It seems the new version detects it right. It says mine is insane chip which actually is right.

But more importantly sticking to the latest stock kernels is the best to be sds safe for those who are affected. In case of OP he is safe though.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Download pre-rooted Stock ROM from here or if you want pure Stock, no root from here I'll use latest pre-rooted as it doesn't increase binary counter and you're rooted automatically. Look for latest Triangle Away v 2.75 and it'll reset all entries. After that just Factory Reset and your phone should have as follow:

binary 0,

Official

Previous versions of this app was for SGS2 only. Now it supports S3 & N2 as well. If it says "insane" you're in trouble, check your revision if it's 0xf1 it's really insane ;)

also if my s3 does not die within 7 months or so i should believe i have a working s3,

also are there are still cases of SDS being reported?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paintslinger426:
Hi Everyone. I damaged my Sprint Galaxy S 3 and it was replaced under the insurance plan. 3 days before damaging the phone I backed the Rom up with Clockworkmod Rom Manager. When I receiving the replacement phone I compared the version and build that each phone had installed on them and they were the same. I proceeded to root the new phone and installed Clockworkmod Rom Manager. I then restored the rom from the damaged phone to the new phone. Everything went OK and worked fine after restoring the ROM. I fell asleep happy. The next morning I woke up to an alert that my phone had a new update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 so I installed the update. After the update finished I tried to access my contact list and the phone froze up. I had to remove the battery to reboot. After rebooting I tried to access the contacts again same issue. Then I forced a sync. Still the same issue after syncing. I then rooted the new 4.1.2 install that was pushed to my phone, because the install took the root priveliges away (it rooted fine). After rooting all the issues remained it still froze when I tried to access the Contact list . After clicking the Contact icon a new blank page comes and then freezes. I tried opening the phone icon and no dialer came up. Instead it was a list of a few names (mainly the contacts left over from the old phones log or recent calls list.). If I and slid the name to the right, it would dial the phone and work fine. If I slid the name to the left the messege app came up and worked fine. However if I clicked the name it would freeze the phone. There was not an option to select a dialer anywhere. I did not even have a My Contact icon option to choose from to make a call. The only thee options that I had were above the recent call log, and they were: 1> delete, 2>call, 3> merge with google. If I chose either option or clicked on a name in the list the phone froze and I had to reboot. I cannot get My Contacts to sync up with my google account. Everthing else appears to be OK except. I did try to restore the clockworkmod rom back up to before the 4.1.2 update but that fails now also. I am stuck.I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Paintslinger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well, I would personally, do a clean install [fully wiping] and restore the rom. Generally restoring an 'old' system is generally not a good idea, especially from a 'different' device; it can be done, but issues could follow. Like I said, do a full wipe, flash your rom, and go from there.

Also, in the future, you'd be better off not restoring / using rom manager; as I've seen things go wrong in the past. It'd do you better to do it manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamdelozier:
Did you go into manage apps and wipe data on contacts? Then resync....
