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.

Nicely done.

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.

[Q] Languages

Hi
I live in Norway and I'm thinking of ordering a Galaxy Nexus from the UK.
The phone is delayed in Norway due to the wait for a Norwegian language pack.
Samsung Norway also said that you cannot install a the language pack on a non-Norwegian device.
My question is: Is there a Norwegian keyboard layout on the UK version of Nexus?
I'm used to installing roms on my G1 and Desire, so I guess it wont be a problem in the long run.
Thanks!

Yeah there is an option for Norwegian keyboard. There seems to be an option to change the system language to Norwegian too.

Yep.
The line about being delayed because of the norwegian language pack seems untrustworthy, it's an AOSP build, there is nothing extra that Samsung needs to translate. Besides, no need to delay the phone in the entire scandinavia, and as it look like, a good chunk of mainland europe as well, if something was "wrong" with the translation.

Thanks for a super fast reply!
Just ordered it from UK!

I was planning on waiting till early Desember, but Elkjøp (Elgiganten?) pushed the date forward a couple of days, so I'm not trusting the dates!
Besides, my Desire broke a couple of days ago, so I'm borrowing a Hero, and I kind of hate it!

How can I tell what region a phone is from?

I'm going to checkout a BNID HTC 10 in a couple of hours, and I want to quickly check that its region is Canada/USA (and he's not selling me an Asian and Euro variant). Is there a quick way to do that?
Also, any other recommendations on what I should look at before I give the guy my cash?

You could try https://imei24.com/imei_check/HTC/ if you have access to the IMEI.

Bought it from Thailand. It is officially available in many countries in South East Asia. Here it is sold together with MPen.
The only model available here is 128/6 GB. Google assistant works well.
I still havent play much with it so I could not really tell all pros and cons. One thing I notice right away was that the display is grainy, though higher ppi than iPhone Xr but its noticeably grainy I would say. Coming from LG G7, I do hate Huawei Emui launcher.

Is it still grainy if you disable "Smart Resolution"?

Yes it is. Earlier I talked to many people about this and many say its ok. I just tried to say that it looks worse in comparison to iPhone Xr but its your eyes to decide if its ok or not. People coming from WQHD might notice this more I guess.

Do u have a link from where u bought it?

I have to agree with this comment. The grainy description had me rolling eyes too. Grainy? you must have the eyes of a hawk

Price paid? Did you get silver or blue? Is silver as purplish as it looks?

My screen is awesome! Not grainy at all... Maybe change your theme... My son has the iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch and is sick and wished he had waited for the Mate 20 X

Does the 20 X have a notification led or a always on display? Thank you!

It is a more feminine lilac in my opinion. Even the fingerprint reader is a very light purple. I sold my Chinese silver and bought the international model which only comes in midnight blue from Splendor for $868 USD.
