Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Remember the rumor about multiple Nexus devices? Galaxy S4 GE. HTC One GE.

Might not be called Nexus, but close enough.
 
There are 3 pictures total.

BTW - I'm going on record here - I do not believe that there will be a Google Edition of the HTC One.

If there is then Boomsound would be lost (Beats is proprietary, and Beats is required to get the volume and sound promised out of the stereo speakers) and Zoe and the other HTC camera features would be lost.

I know that I'm bucking the word of a significant someone who's spreading this - but - that's my opinion.

No One GE.

I'll bet you $50 in pretend money that they do :D
 
Well, if it does launch on other carriers, as it appears to be, guess it won't be a Droid which is a good thing. I'm interested..... Really just hope it has a Maxx sized battery though and a decent camera.

Why wouldn't it be a DROID? Oh ye of little faith. Verizon will happily delay their version a month or more to shoehorn 3GB of bloat.
 
I completely forgot about Google Translate!

it is compatible with NFC. Model number of unpublished terminal XT1060 is a (model number). I have adopted the 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Version Android is in the OS. Chipset is equipped with a (APQ8064T) Qualcomm Snapdragon 600. The CPU is a 1.7GHz quad-core operating frequency. Display has been found that the resolution becomes (720 * 1280) HD.

No mention of camera. Also of note, the above quote is from a Japanese blog.

After looking through the FCC papers the only thing I noticed was Bluetooth 4.0 and pretty much everything else made no sense to me. There was the standard letter of confidentiality and a list of vague features. Oh. And test complete date was April 30.

And I just noticed this: This product utilizes an internal battery that is not removable.
 
Hello watering hole! RL has kept us busy, we rent our beach house to vacationers in the summer so we have spent the last two weeks preparing for the tourists and moving for the summer. But we are settled now in the much cooler mountains and have time to breathe. Some of you may remember I was having intermittent trouble with the nexus 7 dimming to black when rotated into landscape. I was just getting ready to send it back to Google when you will never believe with what I discovered. It only happens when I am sitting outside with... Wait for it... Polarized sun glasses on! Take off the glasses, no problems. Lol, who would guess that, not even Google knew.
 
Okay, so GOOD NEWS: JBSourcery 5.3 is finally out :D

BAD NEWS: TWRP apparently has an issue in its wiping. Even when wiping data, there are things left un-wiped:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41185553&postcount=3317

Read and weep, fellow TWRP users. I really love TWRP but I'm tempted to give CWM another try again :(
I was just about to post the news of Sourcery.

On another note, I don't understand the writeup posted on XDA. I've read it twice and I'm not getting it. Any ideas? I use TWRP 2.5 FWIW.
 
I find it weird that the wiping issue always seems to track back to Sourcery. :confused: I'll have to take a look myself on my other devices to see if maybe it's device based.

The article is claiming that twrp is leaving behind user files even when performing full wipes that should wipe the device clean.
 
That post doesn't make any sense to me. Twrp skips wiping data/media when you do a factory reset.

This is by design, because that's your "internal" SD card.


The user is still seeing the '0" folder because its in data/media (aka on the SD card)


Based on his post, its doing exactly what it should be

See, I get that part. However, when I used CWM, the clockwork folder was on the virtual SD, which, regardless of recovery, doesn't get wiped during normal wiping procedures when flashing a ROM. If it did, you wouldn't have a ROM to flash in recovery, because the SD would be wiped. So I don't get the user's example.

Maybe I need to read it again?

Exactly :thumbup:

I think that guy just doesn't quite get what's going on


Also, I'm running a gnex this week so I have posting rights in this thread again ;):p
 
Except I think the claim is that he choose to do a full internal data wipe and that got left behind, not a simple factory reset. Or, at least that's what I thought was being said. I just did one of these on an S3 two weeks ago and there wasn't anything left; so if there is indeed an issue it must be localized on the gnex.

Even when you wipe data, it skips /data/media by design.

Actually, wiping data and doing a factory reset are the exact same things. This os because cache and dalvik cache are in /data as well

Twrp for the s3 behaves the same way. You still have all of the files in /data/media after a wipe

If it did wipe data/media, all your ROM zips, photos, and twrp backups would get wiped

Yeah, that's what the factory reset is suppose to do. But there is a separate option in twrp that enables complete wiping of the entire internal memory, including media, similar to what happens when you unlock. That's what I think the post author was talking about, but I could be wrong.:confused:

Ah yes, the "format data" option


If that is indeed what he was doing, then that's an issue. I guess that's not how I read it, but I'll go back and read it again with that in mind


Edit
Looks like it didn't make it to the "destructive option"
:thumbup:

But his use of wipe throughout still throws me off.

Only way to be for sure is to test it

Yeah, I sold an S3 on here two weeks ago and used that option to wipe it clean before I sent it off. It worked perfectly, nothing left behind. Which is why the whole mess confuses me, and the only common denominators are the Gnex and the Sourcery rom.
 
Good morning, folks. If it's good.

I'm a little depressed today, with bittersweet emotion, as we must bid farewell to the Sourcery ROM project:

Team Sourcery Forum • View topic - The Sourcery Conclussion

JBSourcery 5.3 is the LAST Sourcery ROM, the pinnacle of their efforts. Let's enjoy the heck out of it.


@HALON: I can't imagine why you couldn't use Clockwork to flash 5.3. In fact, it looks like Team Sourcery is advising against TWRP.
