have you guys updated to the new market yet?

A few days ago:

Very smooth.

 

[Cosimo]

at the end of the day we need this 403 /404 update to see where we stand inregards to stutter and smoothness.

Not that there is much to complain about now in terms of those because it's very good as it is. I just want a fix for spell checking in the browser. It’s high time for an update.

 

[Cosimo]

Spell checking as in when writing stuff on forums etc?

I find no problems with spell checking if that is what you mean, autocorrect works fine as does red underlines for words not in the dictionary.

You don't have probelms because you don't use a GN. Wrong thread again.

 

[Cosimo]

That is irrelevant because I'm using ICS with the ICS keyboard in the ICS browser, just like you. So unless ICS on the Nexus is different or bugged then I can't see how it differs in this regard.

It is relevant because you are not using stock 4.0.2 from Google and therefore not the official release of ICS.

 

[Cosimo]

If you're on 4.0.2 then maybe that's where the problem is?

That is spot on! It’s something we’ve known for months and are waiting for a fix in the next release of ICS. Probably of no interest to you whatsoever but you never know:

It is fixed in 4.0.3 as far as I know, but only the USA have got that so far.

That release was short lived and Google pulled it.

 

[Cosimo]

SFR have now removed their March arrival day for 4.0.5. I bet they have no idea when Google will release the next update.

CUSTOM back covers!!

http://www.andetch.com/products-page/

Have you ordered one?

 

[Cosimo]

im going to, the first one @ $35, fairly pricey but then i presume they are official back covers, postage $5 seems very reasonable. There is no difference in size from the Verizon version is there

The Verizon is a thicker model and the cover is different on the inside:

[Cosimo]

Those back covers look....aftermarket in a bad way!

You won't have a problem then.

 

[Cosimo]

Oh they exist for the S2 as well, and in more colours and materials!

Aren't you the lucky one.

 

[Cosimo]

Anyone recommend where to get decent, ideally OEM batteries?

Official batteries are only £19.99.

 

[Cosimo]

Where from?

"I want the next release of ICS"

 

[Cosimo]

got the phone.
they said they have found the issue and updated the software...
Now Im running on
I9250XWKK5_ITL41D


kernel 3.0.1-ge24633f2 android-build@apa28#1

android version 4.0.1


as I dont remember what I had earlier, can someone check ?

Sounds to me as they have flashed a Samsung build (yakjuxw - ITL41D-I9250XWKK5) on your phone and returned it with an unlocked bootloader.

Download “Android System Info”, look at system and then buildinfos. This shows a normal “yakju” build from Google which you now appear not to have:

It will tell you whether you have this Samsung build.

If it is this build then it will probably explain why the update failed. You may then want to look here:

Hope this helps.

Anybody had problems with the headphones jack? Do I send the phone back to O2 or Samsung? Will the give me a phone first?

What's been the problem?

 

[Cosimo]

4.0.4 is rolling out to all the GSM versions of the Nexus now
