For anyone else in the same boat (OTA failing because build.prop not passing check in install), the above build.prop worked for me. I don't have root and I'm still 1/2 n00b so I pushed it into /system/build.prop using the nexus toolkit and it's insecure boot image (choice 13). Then I rebooted...

I have the identical problem. I'm back to stock everything except the #$!* build.prop.

I need the small flex circuit under the speakers that has the usb and headphone jacks on it. Mine won't charge via USB no matter what I do. I've checked Google, Amazon and the only one on eBay is a wallet gouging $60. Image of item I need...

I'm also stock 4.1.1 GNex. I had perfect BT behavior with several devices with ICS, now have a problem with my car's built-in BT hands-free phone (2007 BMW 328). Pairing is fine. About every other phone call I'm told they can barely hear me over the noise but my audio is fine. I've paired...

It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.

I did exactly that, just changed the existing APN to IPv6 and MMS would not work. I changed it back to IPv4 and the MMSs waiting came right in.

I turned on IPv6 (only, not 6/4) on my GN and everything worked great except I could not receive MMS messages. I'm on T-mo, the MMS sender is on metropcs. Anyone else seen this? Could have been coincidence but the MMSs came right in when I switched back.

It seems that Gallery mostly respects hidden (.foldername) folders and the .nomedia flag, but some process is alerting the Gallery to new folders and files as they are created, and that process does NOT respect hidden folders or .nomedia. If you believe your problem is solved with the nomedia...

Can we ask for a link to the steps you followed? I've not done the manual update because I understand unlocking the bootloader triggers a wipe, and I can't get a temp root where I can copy to update to /cache to work. I'd love to manually update... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Back when I had my N1 I could copy the zip to update.zip, put it on the sd card, boot into recovery and apply it. Everything stock and no root. So that's not the case anymore? If not, why not? I'd like to keep it as stock as possible. I could do that with the N1 and still not have to wait...

Feature request: I found this because I found a free URL tag in Wired this month and wanted to reuse it. Only after coming here and reading a few pages did I find out about the URL-only tags that can't be retasked without your app being in the foreground. So my feature is for your app to warn...

I've done it twice now so I'm an expert :) A hair dryer will do, heat gun not necessary. Take off the back cover per the video(s) on youtube but stop there. You'll see one connector on the side leading to the digitizer, carefully pop it up. You may want to remove the battery too. Wait until...

+1 to those recommending this one. I have this exact model and it does indeed charge at the "AC" rate, about twice as fast as the "USB" rate.

I hacked pins onto a dock for my myTouch 4g and wound up with so-so results (would connect like 80% of the time) because of exactly that. Take your time and figure out a way to drill the holes for the pins perfectly. Maybe a tiny bit of something (putty? ink?) on each pad can be transferred to...

FYI I saw someone mention using the standard Garmin nuvi suction cup mount, with a GN in a case it does seem to fit. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

My previous phone was a MyTouch 4G and I found a simple $10 swivel holster for it on ebay. Two zip-ties around the AC vent blades and I had a decent car mount that rotated for landscape too. Mine had a flexible clip on the top to hold it secure. It worked so well I bought a 2nd one and put it...

You mean because it's so expensive to send out email? I've had great experiences with Woot, but so far dailysteals sucks. Seriously how hard or expensive would it be to send an email saying "you're in group #2, should ship between 1/xx/12-1/yy/12 via <whatever shipper> from <wherever>"? I...

I hear the TF201 is getting ICS now. Anyone know if this model is getting ICS?

The problem is not with an order that takes some time because it has to ship from overseas, the problem is no information from the seller. Let's say they had 50,000 units of the Galaxy Nexus and they sell them at $559. Every one of those people should receive an email saying they were part of...

I got the same email (I ordered at 3:15pm). I kept my order in place, I could not find a deal within $100 of this one. If it gets delayed beyond next week I will cancel though. Also I hear they do not notify when they ship (guess emails are too expensive) so you have to either check their...

Count me among those waiting. Post here if you get a shipment notice. Anyone else think this sale means the 32gig version is on the way? GN is a pretty well reviewed device and seemed to be selling at ~700, the only reason I can see for such a discount is that the 32 GB GSM is close behind.

Thanks for febycv for all his work keeping our MT4G alive. Clearly no camera is a dealbreaker for many of us. As I have read we're waiting on a driver or a reverse engineer of a driver to make that work. I know squat about the subject, will someone who knows more comment here? - Is there...

I repeated the original mod of the MT4G dock and it worked perfectly. $15 for the dock on ebay, $6 for the pins from Mouser, and about an hour of work start to finish.

I'm an N1 owner from the first week it came out and have stock 2.3.4 on mine. I was looking at the G2x and waiting patiently for the Sensation when a MyTouch 4G fell into my lap for $60. At first I stuck Virtuous' Sense ROM on it but for me the downsides of Sense outweighed the up. So the...

A belt holster is under $10 on ebay or Amazon. Zip tie to your handlebars or neck.

Sorry mom.

So apparently Tmo opened up WiFi calling but there's no app for most phones (http://gigaom.com/mobile/on-t-mobile...alls-are-free/). Has anyone got the standard WiFi calling app working on the N1? Can it be done with a stock 2.3.4 phone? Is root required? Please do not litter the thread with...

FYI the above link applied just fine to my stock N1 with GRI40. Now happily reporting version GRJ22, version 2.3.4.

Mine broke at the top, just right of the center clip where the plastic is thinnest. I called HTC who first said they did not warranty accessories, then said they would cross ship me a new one but would be charging me for shipping. In the end they shipped me out a new one in 2 days and charged...

Just my two cents but... - Task killers are for people who do not understand that Android manages memory use for you. If it's in memory it can resume quickly, that does not mean it is chewing CPU cycles. - Battery conditioning works. Run your battery all the way down. Restart phone again...

Oh no, I don't have anything yet, I just wanted to know (and inform everyone else) how to catch it if it comes.

If the OTA shows up on mine, how can I find out the URL to the update.zip? I know it's in the log but I understand I can't catch the URL if the update has already come down. So how do I catch this and help? If there's an app what's the exact name, I saw many searching for "logcat"...

I wish people would stop saying "just flash a GB ROM and be done with it", there's more to it than that. The N1 is sort of a reference design for alot of phones out there. A working N1 GB ROM means solid drivers, solid battery life, solid performance, etc. I also have an HD2, it's running GB...

Bump. My niece's Optimus T locks up when she opens the Gallery (3D). If she kills the task and starts it again it works. Anyone got ideas?

Great guide. Just needs two more sections: 6. How to flash ClockworkMod Recovery 7. How to flash a ZIPed ROM

As I sit here and wait for 2.2.2 for my N1, it occurs to me I know nothing about the OTA process. A quick search of XDA reveals some of the same questions but few answers. Here's some things I'd like explained: - How does the rollout process work? - Are they controlled by HTC or Google or...

It's only 5% of GB, but you can have the keyboard from it. A definite improvement and works perfectly on my N1 with 2.2.1 (no root needed): http://www.appbrain.com/app/keyboard-from-android-2-3/com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free

I'm imagining (okay, praying) there was a 30-day exclusive on GB given to the Nexus S. Release date for NS was 12/16, so that'd delay the N1 OTA until about 1/16. So that's the end of this week...

Perm fix for robo voice: This worked for my TMOUS HD2. FYI I had already flashed HSPL3, the 1.11 magldr and this post's Desire ROM when I discovered the robovoice. 1. Download the 2.15.50.14 radio here: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F 2. Unzip on your WMDC/activesync PC, notice it comes...

If I remember right the robovoice was only for specific radios. Please post your radio version whether you have robo voice or not. No idea if that's the problem but lets post some useful data here, not just "mine's working!". I notice from the original DFT post screenshot he is using...

My parents both bought MT4Gs over the holidays. Very nice hardware, I'm jealous of the bigger screen, camera button and the trackpad. One big flaw though, the USB port is on the side, so no car mount. Rumor has it there's one that works in landscape, but it sure looks goofy. N1 is smaller in...

I can tell you the construction of the dummy phone for the N1 isn't at all like the actual phone - no useful parts at all.

Nice update for Car Home: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/10/car-home-for-android-gets-personal.html?utm_source=tcm&utm_medium=ttl&utm_campaign=gmb

So let's say I setup an email account and take PLEDGES (not money) for an "HD2 NAND Prize". Then we all simply send in messages to that address with a dollar amount. When the prize is claimed I email those people back and ask for their pledge amount to be sent in. Say we define nand success...

Reposting from HD2 forum. Installed on my (unrooted) Nexus One with no problems. Widget looks handy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767084 I did not try the new launcher.

As an ex Samsung Galaxy owner I'd say absolutely no way. The development community cannot overcome Samsung not releasing the drivers. This is why the Galaxy/Behold II are languishing in 1.6 (and happy to have gotten that far). This is not ancient history either, the Galaxy was a hot phone...

I can confirm the stuck App Manager screen. Have the exact same thing. I bet there's an app we both have that somehow chokes the listing. For Wifi I've seen my home wireless listed as "Disabled" a couple of times in the last week, that's new and a problem.

Does not seem to happen to a stock phone, no effect.

Thanks for the work and the pics but I don't see where you soldered to the pads...? Did you test with a multimeter or did you actually solder on a jack? I'm hopeful that the unit can detect when headphones are plugged in (like the Nexus can) and so perhaps does not route the audio to the...
