Develop Bugs

Root status

I know Paul at Modaco have made some progress in rooting the desire.
But is there any other dev or team that are working on cracking the desire?
Without root this section of xda feel a bit empty...

good question me thinks.

Please look up what rooting means before asking this as this seems like another 'root' post. There are already many of these types of posts around why post new?
I am waiting for rooting so i can install different non eu keyboards

Going by the state of EU airspace at the moment, I wouldn't necessarily count on that.

I know it's selfish, but living under the Heathrow flightpath, I'm kind of enjoying it. I can hear the birds!

Same here - it's idyllic bliss in 'ampstead without a bloody plane every 2 minutes. This is what it must have been like in the 1930s! Selfish or not, long may it continue (though the prospect of nose to tail flights through the night as they deal with the backlog isn't so attractive).

Put €30B in the garbage bin outside the Icelandic embassy tonight, and we will turn off the volcano. Don't call the police.

windows phone 7 for LG KS20?

Does anyone know that Windows phone 7 compatible with LG KS20 ?
I am really happy when have some news.

Not to sure if they've been made official yet, but the minimum specs for phone 7 are very high end, and include specialised hardware buttons. I'm not sure any device meets the specs so I wouldn't hold you're breath.

No phone will be able to be upgraded from WM6.x to WP7.

Nope...
I doubt it... Just get a theme or shell... And uhm... i think our devices should be able to run wp7 apps anyway..

You have the same amount of luck having iOS ported to your phone as you do WP7.

Galaxy Nexus is Awesome!

Hi
I just felt that with all the negative posts, i would add a positive one
I got mine today from Clove, all i can say is this phone is awesome.
Well done Google. ICS is a wonderful rebuild, not an update, a rebuild. I think people are forgetting this.
So everybody. What do you like about ICS?
I got a unknown phone call today and what made me smile was that ICS told me what location the area code was from automatically
What has put a smile on your face with ICS?

Woah!!! It did that in the UK?

Sweet, Friday is gonna be great!!! Can't wait.

Yeah in the UK, I just tested it by deleting my home number form the phone, and then calling. It got it bang on. Very cool!

That's pretty cool, I hope the Verizon version does that (show the location of call). That's a welcome addition if it does.

This is new to me.
Are you sure you are not installing special app?

no additional app
it must look up the area code from google so i guess u will need a data connection

It does the same on an AOSP build on the Nexus S - I received several calls for work today from unknown numbers and the Caller ID now shows the state the call is originating from (US).

That's a really good find! For those who haven't tried it I've knocked up a short video showing the feature. Me like.

Nope, happened to me
Said the number which wasn't in my contacts and it said Tyneside under it.
Turns out it was Samsung calling me back

Wondering if this is UK specific only.
Anyone from outside UK can test?

It works in the US an an AOSP ICS build on the Nexus S - I'd imagine it works the same on the GN.

How to check whether phone is used or new

I am on the lookout for a Galaxy Nexus in Mumbai, India. I want to make sure that I get my money's worth when buying the phone i.e I don't want to get ripped off by the seller.
Can you please tell me how I can know if a phone is new or used previously.
I already read but people in the comments have reported that they don't always work:

I know. That's why I posted this thread - to see if someone else would have a answer.

There's very little you can do to check if it's new or not other than call Samsung and see if someone has registered the unit with them for some reason or another. Although the seals on the box being broken would be a massive give away

Oh trust me, the seal is not really the most trustworthy sign.

When i got my nexus in the mail my buddy took it out of the box and put his phone in to play a joke on me and didn't even break the seal. I asked him how he did it and he said he didn't even realize he had done that. So no the seal is no indicator at all lol.

I find it hard to believe you can undo the seal without damaging it, I had to proper rip mine to get into the box. Perhaps the EU ones are more secure!!
Either way, unless you're getting it from an official dealer it's hard to say whether it's 100% new or not

Bout time lol, T-Mobile ice view case and charger sent today

EBay mate. Found a US seller not asking for the earth and imported it. My ten came via Denmark lol!
The launch of accessories and the device has been tardy and useless. Lucky this is (at least for me) one hell of a phone.
Also fell off my bike earlier (not wise recovering from a broken leg lol). Phone fell out of my pocket and both phone and case are perfect

Yeah I think this thread was meant for the people who purchased the T-Mobile version and are waiting for the Free Ice View case and Charger. Hopefully we all receive them soon, My submission shows approved on June 3.
