Seriously? Wow. I never EVER hinted at a sense of entitlement. I agree with you that there is definitely a lot of that in this community, but that was not the point of this thread. If you look at any of the work I do around here, my entire purpose on XDA is to catalog stock OTA updates for Nexus devices and help the community with reverting to stock if necessary. Thus, a thread like this would be logical for me to start as this topic is basically at the crux of what I do here.

I should tell you, sir, to go back under your rock and stay there.

I was wondering how people rate the different SD memory cards?

I noticed Kingston has a 128 meg strip for $39.99 and a $10 rebate at:

http://www.shop.kingston.com/09promo/default.asp

I've read about Sandisk, so I know to stay away from them. But as far as speed wise, how would you rate other brands like Lexar, PNY, Kingston, Panasonic....etc...I am most interested in fast access times.

Looking for advise.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Carlos:
I've never seen anything close to Lexar's speed. It often measures at orders of magnitude better than others.

That said, the Sandisk 256 is my primary card while the Lexar 128 is for music (occasional use). In practical use I can't notice a difference. And I have no issues with the Sandisk.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Gear:
I had read & seen a comparison table for SD card speeds on some site. According to them, Hagiwara SD 128MB was by far the fastest.

Try to do a search on Google with "Hagiwara". You might find this site.

or try www.hscjpn.co.jp which is printed on the Hagiwara box.

Having a Sandisk and a Hagiwara one, the second is faster by far.

Hi,

Just letting people known that I ordered my One direct through Vodafone last Friday and it was delivered today, despite the fact they told me at least 3 weeks on the phone. A pleasant surprise!

Anyway, I thought I would let people know in case they are still waiting or just looking for somewhere to get one quickly!

Cheers,,
[One (M7) General] kitch9:
Awesome, I ordered on the 1st with them, got a text saying it will be here today, didn't turn up, rang them only to be told its never got sent and there are none in stock.

"Do you want a different phone they said....."
[One (M7) General] KING LUFF:
I had a similar experience. They actually tried to deliver yesterday but to a wrong address. When I called to change they said I was basically lying and it would be a few weeks.

Today I got the text again and it turned up! The whole thing is pretty messed up by the sounds of it! Haven't managed to get home and open it yet, hope they haven't sent me a One X :'(
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Anyone heard anything from Vodafone regarding black
[One (M7) General] madindehead:
Was it a silver or black model?
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
Was yours the black or silver??

Spoke to voda customer services this morning regarding my order for the black one and they told me that there is an 8-10 day wait at the moment as they haven't received the stock from HTC.

Sent from my HTC One X
[One (M7) General] KING LUFF:
Mine is the silver model
[One (M7) General] jah:
Is your device locked or unlocked? Did you get the free HTC flip case? My silver HTC One should arrive tomorrow. I was surprised that they have stock given how popular I was expecting this device to be. I ordered on the 12 month tariff, as over 12 months the overall cost is not that different to buying SIM free.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
I got my one black on 12 month @ 44 a month unlimited mins and text with 2gb and free handset and I shaved 3 months off my 12 month one X contract as they let you upgrade after 9 but that's all pointless as I'm still waiting for my device lol
[One (M7) General] slitear:
How did you shave 3 months of your contract? Upgrading 3 months early to a new 12 month contract normally just means that you now effectively have a 15 month contract (i.e. the new 12 month contract only starts after your old one expires, you just commit to it 3 months earlier).

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

I have finally been able to unpack my new HTC One (in silver). I pre-ordered the black one on Vodafone UK on 28th February, but after hearing about the delays I called them on 15th March to change to the silver one. They then delivered it on 20th March but I was out of country since then.

I don't regret switching to the silver, it looks amazing! I was torn between the two colours anyway, so if you want it quicker it might help to switch to silver. I don't have any gaps or overhang issues by the way, it looks very well built.

It seems to be branded though, as there is a Vodafone logo showing up at startup and shutdown. I received the free cover by the way, and also some cheaply built looking headphones (black with red ear buds), which might be from Beats or whatever it's called but their cheapest version.
[One (M7) General] Sabrezx:
Just saw this quoted on Vodafone UK's support forum, no mention of silver or black, its dated 26th of this month.
[One (M7) General] jah:
Just received my One and even though there is branding it is not locked to Vodafone.
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
what branding ?
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
As far as I'm aware my new contract ends of the 5th march 2014, 1 year from my Pre order date

Also submitted a £50 top cash back claim so hopefully that will come in too!

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Black or silver?

Spoke to Vodafone this evening and the lady said there looking to get black in for the 28th there was a note on her system whether that means there looking to receive stock tomorrow which will be out for the 28th or they get stock in then she didn't know

I tend to find if you get an offshore customer service adviser they have no clue what's going on thou...
[One (M7) General] jah:
Vodafone splash screen when you first power it up and the Discover app.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Silver. But note the free case is not worth having. Does not close properly and hinders typing when used in portrait mode.
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
Spoke to Vodafone customer services late last night and they advised me to ring back today to change my order from the black to the silver. The guy told me that the black handset has been delayed again by HTC as there seems to be an issue with the colour. He said it was upto a 3 week delay.

So........I rang the sales line this morning and they told me the exact same thing - the black handset has been delayed by HTC yet again due to "some problem with the black paint". He was midway through cancelling my order and said "oh, I'm really sorry about this, but it looks like we don't have any silver handsets left either, I know that a lot of people were switching from black to silver but I had no idea it was that many!!"

In the end I decided to keep my order as it is and wait another 3 weeks for the black one. As an apology he also said vodafone would credit my account with 1 months line rental the day I ring to tell them I'd recieved my handset. Not a bad result in the end.
[One (M7) General] debully:
My second phone in black has been dispatched for delivery tomorrow
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
What??!! How??!!

Vodafone c.s fed me some b.s about no silver in stock and the black one being delayed 3 weeks due to paint issues!!!

[One (M7) General] debully:
I ordered 9am launch day. Had my silver about 2 weeks now, black is finally turning up. Dont think many orders would have been placed before mine. Reassuring to know they're adhering to some kind of appropriately queued system.

Got an update on my black htc one shipped today for delivery tomorrow :D

[One (M7) General] Disidea:
What number did you call to change your order to silver? I have tried Multiple avenues to try and change my order from black to Silver, and I am told that there is no way to change my order, until it has been delivered!?!? which completely defeats the object of what I need to do! lol I've seriously been sent from one place to another and was even lied to when the customer services rep I spoke to told me it was going to be delivered yesterday..... losing my marbles with this company

I used stock XXLMI. i want update my phone newest versions but i dont do it cuz this versions isnt stable. one weeks ago i installed a jb rom and in this rom it isnt any music player, i installed a music player but i didnt use it cuz this force closes. What's your suggestion for me ??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Just stick to CM9 till a more stable release for CM10 is out. If you have trouble with permissions, go to recovery and use fix permissions.

Don't get me wrong. That's just my opinion... You can use CM10 if you like. For music player, use Google Play Music.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eza azami:
Your heart is true Ipromeh :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MiguelPT:
All the ROM for this device are almost the same, all ics/jb roms are basead on arco's source,which means that there are no significant difference in battery/performance/bugs between them, the only difference is the mods, apps (removed or moded), and a few tweaks.

Pick the rom you like the most, if you want a clean rom and you don't care about those mods just pick CM9 or CM10, I would go for cm10, it's stable enough for daily use.

Edit: If you're a gamer go for cm9, or cm9 basead roms.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
CM9
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Yes, normal stock JB is better than stock ICS but we are talking about an ICS ROM that has RC stage while the JB is only at its alpha stage. The tweaks and 'project butter' smoothness will not be at its... Full power? Just saying. Not bias to any ROM at all. Different people have different opinions.

I used CM10 by Arco with 4.1 to 4.2 JB App Mods...

But its me... And in the end all the options back to you... :)

Sorry for my bad english...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
If you ask me what is the best ROM in W. Then I would say: Nothing.

What's the best for me maybe its not the same for someone else. Maybe someone said: 'Ah CM10 FTW!!!' but then someone else argued: 'No!! CM9 is better blah blah blah'. And someone else said SlimBean 4.2 is da best.. e.t.c. And you know what will happen next.

If you want to ask what is the best ROM, ask it yourself. Try any ROM and Mods that might fit your requirements. (And expectation, of course)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sinand99:
CM10 is awesome

Finally I decided to upgrade from gingerbread to CM10, skipping CM9. And I am happy that I did it. There is a huge difference, my phone is much smoother now.. games are also fine, no lag at all

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi Guys,

This is exactly the same as my original Note (N7000). Been using it happily for like 7+ years..... Been on custom roms from the day I bought it, second hand off a friend of a friend.

Last time, before it died... It was on.

Recovery = TWRP 3.x.x

OS = Resurrection Remix 5.8.5

Woke up one money, to find the phone had rebooted itself for no reason. It was stuck on the "Samsung Note GT-N7000" screen.

So I held down the "3x finger salute combo" to reboot it, which it did... but still stuck on the Samsung Logo. So I left it like this, whilst I drove to work for like 15 / 20 minutes, see if it would progress further.

Got to work, still stuck on the Samsung Logo. So I pulled the battery, re-inserted it... hoping it would boot back up. That was the last I ever saw of my Note, never to live again... :( :( :(

No idea what caused, or why it won't even boot into any kind of mode??

I thought the likes of TWRP was supposed to prevent BrickBug? I guess not..... :(

Won't power on at all, won't charge (doesn't even get warm).

I've left on charge, I've tried other batteries (that are like 70% charged). I've tried USB JIG....

It's dead Jim, but not as we know it...

Any clues, any recovery options???

Cheers, Lister
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ald0:
I'm currently using a stock based GB rom, Aurora 0.7.

I have a strange issue when listening to music with my headphones connected. I have the phone in silent mode so without the headphones connected the notifications make no sound. However, with the headphones connected and still in silent mode, when I get a notification the sound plays out of the phone speakers. I would expect this to not make a sound at all, or play the notification sound through the headphones.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ald0:
For anyone interested, I gave SoundAbout a try, but this did not work. The best workaround seems to be Hearing Saver. The settings can be updated so there are no notification sounds played at all when the headphones are connected. Both these apps require running a background service.

Hi,

I'm a Gnex user, there is a friend that has a Nexus S, when I saw it she was using GB 2.3.6!

This is the info I was able of gathering:

kernel 2.6.35.7 gb5f63ef

GRK39F

How can I update it easily? with stock rom.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil188:
You could flash the new stock rom for her. But first, try this:

Maybe this'll work, but I can't tell you that it works for 100%.

If it fails, you should definitely download the stock rom OR custom rom (like hellybean 4.2.2 w/ devil kernel) for her and flash it, but you have to unlock & root it for her first.

Hope I can help you out :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberBeaR:
Same issue!

Hello!

I too have the same problem. I recently got as a gift a I9020A, and before starting to use it as my main mobile I wanted to update it to a newer version of Android. It's current version is 2.3.6 Gingerbread and when I try to check for updates none will appear, I have also tried to clear data and force stop on Google Service Frameworks and then trying to update but once more it was useless. I've contacted Samsung Mobile's Help, they informed me that 2.3.6was the latest Android for I9020A, however I have seen that there are OTAs of the 4.1.2 released for my device.

This is my first android, I wouldn't know the benefits of updating the OS but I assume they are many, I have an iPad and I jailbroke it without updating the iOS and now if I update the iOS I'll lose the jailbreak and consequently all of the cracked apps, but I can't install apps that require a more current version of iOS, so I'm taking that experience to Android, don't ever want that to happen again.

I have already non-destructive rooted my device following this thread, but I don't know any much further than this, or even if the rooting I needed was the destructive one in order to apply the OTA. I saw this thread with the links for the OTA 4.1.1 but am not sure of the differences between IMM76M and IMM76D, so I don't know which to download..

I'll be glad to provide any other information needed. If anyone could help OP and me I'll be very grateful, give you a thank you and set the good word of you on the streets. "Street Rep +1" lol :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberBeaR:
So I should install the sojua and not the OTA, right? The OTA would be only from the ics to jb?

And I don't know how to flash, by what I've read I have to use Clockworkmod Recovery? if so I think I can find tutorials easily, if not then please pinpoint me the right way, there is far too much information out there, I feel overwhelmed.. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberBeaR:
Anyone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil188:
"sojua" from the thread IS the OTA version! :D

Also, I think you need this too: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/41124284/gapps-jb-20121223-signed.zip (Google Apps, for installing all the G-Apps)

To flash your device with CWM, you have to:

1. Install "ROM Manager" (@ Play Store, search for it)

1.1 Enter USB-Storage mode and copy the .zip file into your sdcard.

2. Open ROM Manager and install Clockwork Recovery (Simple)

3. Turn off your device after the installation has been finished.

4. HOLD Volume Up and the Power Button to enter Recovery Mode.

5. Select "RECOVERY" by using the volume button and press the Power Button to confirm.

6. After CWM has come up, select "backup and restore" first and backup your system. This may take a while.

7. Make a factory reset (at the main menu) // EVERYTHING will be wiped!

8. Go to "advance" and "wipe dalvik cache"

9. Main Menu > "install zip from sdcard" > select the zip you copied into the sdcard. (Select the OTA!)

10. Wait until finish

11. Repeat 9. , but now select the gapps zip.

12. Wait until finish

13. Main Menu > Reboot to system

You're done! If something bad happens, you can always restore by going into recovery mode and select "restore" in the "backup and restore" menu.
