I can't say that I have any idea what is going on with the app you mentioned, but I do know that ICS introduced a number of changes that can cause apps to fail if they're not updated. I have an app that was crashing on ICS due to a new permission requirement. No code changes, just announcing a new permission in the manifest.
I'd get in touch with the developer. An email from a tech savvy user who can help with debugging can be quite useful. You'd be surprised by the number of people who think a market comment is useful for the developer. It's not.

I already have contacted the developer with the problem and offering my help. I hope you're correct.
The problem I am seeing is that so many people leaving reviews are leaving them from their galaxy nexuses and they almost all seek to have no problem with the app even though it specifically states it doesn't support any version of android other than gingerbread.

Well there you go. I don't know what the app does, maybe it's possible on other versions but maybe it's not.
Personally, I like to give people the option to try my program even if I think it might not work. Naturally, a lot of people then come back and say it doesn't work on X or Y. I could dramatically improve my ratings by excluding all devices that I know don't work, but I'd rather give people the option to try for themselves. Granted, most people are stupid and it's a wasted gesture, but still...
Not saying you're one of those users, just venting a bit. Sorry. If I could help you pull logs or something for the developer of that app just let me know

This type of conversation is not exclusive to XDA. It happens in most all forum communities including Rootzwiki. As long as people can hide behind a screen name and a keyboard they will become overly narcissistic. The anonymity allows us to be rude, impatient, and condescending without remorse.
If you are not embraced by the community to the degree you feel entitled, then perhaps you suffer from the above. So pause before you blame the community, or their gracious hosts, and consider that honey attracts more flies than vinegar.

I think its more about people using this phone as their daily driver and I am not sure if tablet mode works for that.
I believe there is an easy flashible MOD for AOKP that does everything you need for tablet mode. It is just one extra flash so not horribly inconvenient.
I considered it for a moment but I asked myself what is the point really? Outside of a cool YouTube app other tablet apps could be more inconvenient due to actual screen size. Is there more to this than customizing for customazation's sake?

This is actually pretty easy to do on your own.
1) Download AOKP BETA 28 and gapps.
2) Download AOKP BETA 28 (Tabletaokp.zip) from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20451-mod-12-roms-tablet-mode/
3) Extract files (only system folder) from Tabletaokp.zip, open AOKP BETA 28 with winrar(or whatever zip program you use) and gapps. Put the files from Tabletaokp.zip into AOKP BETA 28 zip & gapps as listed below.
3a)In AOKP BETA 28 zip Put build.prop in system folder(overwriting), put system/apps/Phone.apk in system/app folder(overwriting).
3b) In gapps zip put /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk & Phonesky.apk in system/app
4) Install new rom, gapps and have tablet mode from the start (this is actually how i do it)
Would you recommend it? Anything better or worse than phone mode? Such as tablet apps being difficult to read (like a news app), or accidentally taping the wrong icon due to the denser grid?

That will never happen. The only way JB is hitting our phone is if we do it.
I'm really thinking of going back to a Google phone. Less of the features I really want, but at least the new toys hit it first and fast.
Oh and yea Galaxy S is getting it!! But Sammy will never push it to our phones, and you all know I'm right.
i think for the most part the new notification is by far what im after camera upgrade to
Offline voice actions will be a huge help to the utility and speed of voice commands. Other than that, meh. Of course I'm excited though, and will flash anything
I'm definitely waiting for the next Nexus for my next phone purchase. It's hard to not get caught up in the GS3 hype, but its such a minor upgrade to our phones' specs......the GS3 will be many, many months before it sees 4.1.
Hope Samsung port it to the S3 fast. So we can use it. I like it really much!

I'm guessing because most people wouldn't be toting a tablet around to take pictures of other things besides themselves. With my original galaxy tab, I was surprised how well the back camera did for video but it was too easy to cover the mic with your hand when in landscape mode. Also, the official portfolio case for it covered the rear camera and led.

So I didn't have an android phone during the froyo to gingerbread update, which from my understanding is more like this than 2.3 to 4.0. I know we have had lots of trouble with kernel source and all sorts of other issues. Was this due to the fact that it was such a big difference, and so maybe this time it would be easier for our great devs to get this going for us once code drops? Obviously we can't know for sure until then and I'm not trying to offend anyone or seem greedy, I am just curious if this is how android works, or if not.
Thanks.
That is because google banned windows a long time ago from their offices.
So, can anybody think of any good reasons why we couldn't get the new voice search and Google Now on our phones now? I personally don't understand why we would need a new operating system for that. But, I really know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with programming and development, so I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts?

How to get the butter back:
1) Download the last stable 4.1.2 rom of your choice
2) Do a factory reset with TWRP
3) Wipe the buggy 4.2.1 rom using TWRP
4) Flash 4.1.2 back in.
5) Enjoy butter while waiting for 4.2.2 or later builds which is probably coming in January due to the holidays.
Was that so hard?

Or just flash the official 4.2.1. I run stock, rooted and have no problems. I tried a few roms based of 4.2.1 and they were slow and laggy.
This reminds me of the "zero shutter lag" feature that was removed from the Gnex, or selling a 8GB device just to say it "starts at $299." It's just something fancy for them to advertise and get some hype/sales, then they remove it. This is standard procedure by now, right?
Butter is not gone, 4.2 is definitely smoother than ICS and on par with 4.1 and it seems to have much less stutter than 4.1 did
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I can confirm that 4.2.1 stock seems really fast to me.
I have to say that I'm a new GNex user, coming from a Nexus S with 4.1.2. I was using rasbeanjelly with an optimised kernel: there were obviously some lags, time to time.

Noone can tell you exactly what, but the general trend is, that the OTA caused various problems for some, so when some people don't have problems on the same SW, the problem can only be located to something stored on the data partition because of the update process compared to a full wipe.
So the answer is simple, you do a full wipe and install the factory image of 4.2(.1) directly. If this doesn't solve it, it isn't a software problem...
And yes my phone is no less fluid than it was on 4.1, Í, however, updated as descriped with a clean install.
(1)They also forgot about December, (2)Play store launch was a fail, and put (3)Chrome as the stock browser.

1. No that is a general misconception, what was really the case, was a regular code error(zero-index error), making the last row in the array holding the months being skipped. You can't blame them for not spotting this small error in the very limited testing they can do in house. I for one have never used that particular feature and didn't know you could add birthdays until this was discovered. What really matters is that it was fixed within weeks.
2. How? Everything seems to be branded as play store quite fine, whether you like the name or not shouldn't matter
3. why wouldn't they promote the chrome brand and make it easier for users to sync everything between their desktop and phone?
In a direct comparison,i still think 4.1.2 is a bit more fluid overall (app drawer for example,let alone recent apps list). That together with all the other stuff going on (screen switches on,blutooth, worse battery - for me at least) led me to go back and stay to 4.1.2. Not a single problem and constant ~4h on screen time. I can easily wait for a bugfix update next year.
HI folks,
I just want to know your experiences with this phone. I am planning to buy this one from Amazon.com especially for its qwerty keypad.
Please share your experiences the good, bad and ugly of this phone. Is the hardware good? radio quality? after about, 1-1.5 years is the phone durable? Particular issues, quirks.
Thank you all.

it's been a really fast phone after the nokia 5800, and I love the qwerty keyboard, but I wouldnt buy it again. Now I know that the supported up to date OS is a very important point of view, and we have problems with that, so I'd buy a nexus probably. or an s3/s4
x3 ... short answer, no don't by it.
It's sad but the bluetooth and skype issues have killed this phone.
Take a look at the Droid 4 or the Galaxy Relay 4g
I think it's nice...
I just got this phone not too long ago, and I have to say, it's pretty good.
Sure, if you are a power user, I would get soemthing more powerful, with maybe a tegra 3.
This thing is dual-core, so it runs pretty flawlessly, but I have issues with a supported kernel and overclocking it, as the battery already suns at about 105 degrees F ALL THE TIME.
It's got decent specs, and an excellent screen, but honestly, if you want something with that extra "Oomph" I would get a Note II or Galaxy SIII

I would never overclock it. I would want something fast, with a keyboard, that has reliable bluetooth. It doesn't have to be top of the line, in fact I would use this to hold me over till I can get a Galaxy S4 and then get the bluetooth keyboard for that.
No, Bluetooth and store work without issue if you are on a stock bases ROM. It is the cm based ones that have this issue.

Thanks for the response. I am aware if I get this I will be stuck with stock Ice Cream Sandwich, but I can live with that. Again its just to hold me over till I can get (i.e. afford :laugh: ) the S4, and then I would get the Minisuit bluetooth keyboard. But if I get this, no I would never put a custom ROM on it nor overclock it nor anything crazy. I would simply root it and unlock it then leave it alone.
Well you may find lite ROM to you liking. It is based on stock so Bluetooth and Skype work. It cleans up the bloat and adds a few nice features such a voodoo sound. The only issue so far with this phone is poor GPS lock time and it will not be updated any more past 4.0.4

Doh so close. How bad are we talking? A few minutes, who cares, but 15 to 30 minutes, that's bad.
Also, lite ROM based off of ICS or Jelly Bean? Thanks in advance.
Depends. Once the lock happens it is rather constant. I find it is hard to get a lock while moving. Not moving it is about 5 minutes.
In short, it would fail as a dedicated GPS but would work in a pinch.
Lite ROM is based on 4.0.4. I get the names mixed up though so not sure if that is jb or ics.
