I did not realize we need kernel source for this to work!! My apologies. but when kernel SOURCE does drop this will work! So consider this a future plan and if kernel source never drops?! I'll be selling my phone and have a cheap 64 gig usb flash drive for my ps3/comp! loL So I'm good here!
I wasn't happy when reading that the one x has only 16 gb in storage(technically around 11!)I have over gigs backup in titanium alone! so I looked all around and found a solution that is gonna work for me and it will only cost around 40 bucks USD for all parts needed and will give me an extra 64 gigs to have on me all the time!
First your gonna need one of these or something simillar. My plan is too always have this storage either in my truck or pocket ready to go when I need it!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/64GB-TOSHIB...53?pt=US_USB_Flash_Drives&hash=item1c2906d66d
There are alot smaller and lighter drives out there but I wanted cheap and packs alot of storage so this was a good fit for me!
Now in order to access this drive on the fly your gonna need something like this as well or they also have just the fitting without the cord you just gotta look around a little. I prefer having a little bit of cord personally but up to you!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221018356464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and this will pretty much solve my issue of not having enough storage. Both pieces are small and like I said the cord and drive are so small you can keep it in your pockets and the best part is you won't need pc access nor working wifi to be able to get to your files/unicorn porn! :laugh:
I hope you guys can make this work for you as I'm quite satisfied with this solution and will work with alot of phones not just the one x its just a matter of if you dont mind carrying 2 things in your pocket/vehicle/desk drawer/ass etc all the time! :laugh:
Intresting!
I can't see using 16gb of storage on a phone honestly.... it's a phone LOL. It's definitely not a replacement for my tablet.

Like I said especially if you play games? those games sometimes add an extra gig of data after all is said and done.A couple big games and your space is done. I don't personally own a tab just a pc and phone. Don't really see the need for a tab as of right now and can't afford one either!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we still waiting on the kernal source for the AT&T HOX to enable USB OTG? It might be working by now for the international version but all I've read so far is that OTG isn't (yet) enabled for the AT&T HOX.

Well I just briefly checked google and that may indeed be the case. Oh well it should drop soon and when it does this will definetly work but I will change the title to state "once kernel drops solution" for now if this is the case. I'm brand new to the one x so not sure. Thanks for the info guys!
Damn this is awesome! I can't wait for kernel source even more now, the future looks bright. I can have every game I want installed to that, my whole music folder for long car trips and movies for flights! This is working already for the international hox? I don't want to get ahead of myself, I just want to make sure this will become a reality for our phones.

Well you don't have 16gb you have 9.9 after partitioning. I don't put any music or movies on my phone,I stream those and I've filled this internal card without blinking. A couple of nandroid backups, a rom zip or two, titanium backup backup and pics and vids from a 8mp camera will fill er up fast. This is the worst fail about this phone. C'mon a 32 should've been no question when you don't have add on capabilities.
when I do need to access my huge music library or my movies, and under certain circumstances, I use my seagate 500 gb wireless drive I got for my iPad. http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/wireless/goflex-satellite/. That's if I don't have 4g or wifi available for streaming from my pc.
The jury is still out. We don't yet know if the usb port provides power. I hope it does.

Would powered USB hubs provide a workaround if it doesn't? I did a quick search on the international HOX dev forums for anything USB OTG-related, and found an experimental kernel that required you to connect a powered USB hub in a particular way such that the hub power brick was plugged in near the end of the process. I have no idea how it relates to the AT&T version, but shouldn't the int'l HOX give us some indication of what we can expect from the USB port?

Only thing I could think of besides cloud solutions but now theres alot of factors such as if that port is even gonna have enough juice to power peripheral devices/flash drives. I would think it would?? but who the hell knows companys are always out to screw the buyer more and more every day! Plus like I also said even if it doesn't end up working?? you definetly can use that flash drive on other devices and for 50 cents a gig you cant beat that!

Q3 rollout though? It might as well not be coming out at all. I feel certain that sometime between now and Q3 I will not be able to resist picking up some stupidly powerful quadcore tegra3 (or similar) device which will have launched with ICS, and probably for a decent price.
It all leaves me imagining that Motorola only have a single solitary developer with a shoestring budget tasked with putting out the software upgrades for their existing range of phones. Why else would it take so long?
Anyway, looks like our own wonderful development community is the place to pin our hopes for some kind of ICS goodness, within a reasonable time frame.

Not a big fan of the trombone. I mean, I respect it as an instrument, and the people who play it as musicians, but it would have been much more helpful if you had picked something like a cello (which I also like much more than the violin).
You know, just FYI.

We'll get ICS WAYYYYYY before Q3. The dev are working on it as we speak the only thing stopping them is that they're missing the telephony.apk which we need in order to connect to a GSM network. Without it we have a really small tablet with ICS.
Since we know that there is ATLEAST 1 dev in Motorola working on it that means that there will be a working APK with any betas/alphas that get out into the wild. As soon as that happens you can bet jim or lfaber will jump on it and fisnish their ICS masterpiece and maybe make CM7 or CM9 with it.

That is exactly correct!!!
So everyone keep checking cheesecake, ALL servers at least once a day, that is how we will find an early version, as we did with 2.3.6 months before it was out officially. If we get that, then yes we can get CM9 working.
I might have CM7 out here by the weekend, at least that is what I am hoping, but it is still not ICS, it is the 2.3.6 version.
I know its not as fast as we'd prefer, but isnt it nice to hear SOMETHING official from Moto about this phone? We all have been in limbo, heard assumptions, conflicting rumors/"inside" info, so I like that we at least know the future of our device, officially.

Great news. We own one of the most underrated phones out. 2.3.6 made the phone better, ics will hopefully put it over the top.

Well, after trying every phone out there (including a brand new unlocked Galaxy Nexus (returned), SGSII, HTC Vivid, etc.) I can say without a doubt the A2 is the all-around best android phone out there for AT&T. I have come back to it everytime after finding the other phones were either cheaply built, couldn't hold a signal, couldn't obtain gps lock, or took crappy pics. While the A2 doesn't do any one thing extraordinarily better than other devices, the phone does everything well with good battery life and great screen to boot.
ICS will definitely make the A2 a keeper, especially if can finally unlock the bootloader for some custom kernel goodness
Q3 is July - September, when September comes expect an announcement about delays and when 2013 come expect your atrix 2 on ebay.

As long as the jig has a 300 ohm resistor tied to pins 4 and 5 you should be good.

I can't find anything small enough to fit inside the plug to measure the resistance
Based on the reference above, you should be fine. Sometimes you can take it to Radio Shack and usually they can confirm the ohms. You could most likely Google as the color bands on the resistor are indicators of the ohms.

Also do you think i will have any problems using the sim card from my Captivate ? Its about 4 years old, says 3G and is white and blue.

No problem but I go to AT&T about every 12-14 months as I change between phones quite often. They should give you a new one free.

Good deal - I have unlimited data and 200 texts for 39.95, a carry over from the original iphone. Got an International SGS3 6 weeks ago and had to go to AT&T to get a micro sim card, the rep just left the Infuse as my phone of record so after a close call, all is well

Picked up the Infuse today. The jig does work
I flashed the INFUSED rom (froyo version) for now, nice and smooth. Not getting 4G service though. I even picked up a new sim card but that didn't help. Its probably because i'm on that old Media Net plan.
Did a few speed test and my highest was 7 down, not going to complain about that.

Glad to hear all went well. The Infuse was advertised as 4G but in reality it is 3G+ "delivered by backhaul." All I'm sayin' is you do indeed have good speed and I hope you enjoy the phone. :good:

1) NO FLAMING(this goes for me too, lol)
2) NO NUDITY(I'm just as bummed as you are)
3) NO DRUG TALK(not even weed!)
4) NO POLITICS(Some of us here aren't even old enough to vote)
5) NO RELIGION(if you don't know why google "Holy war". lol)
With those out of the way I hope everyone here enjoys and uses our new place to converse. Please feel free to link people who are getting off topic in other threads to this one as a friendly reminder.
So I guess this is where I start the conversation.
How many of you think that this is a good idea???

1) Good... yes... mmmhmm...
2) Ahhh! Off-topic iz teh ebilz! Killz etz wiff fayr!
Hope this works. Please everyone, let's make sure that while this is OT, the XDA rules still apply. This is and will be the ONLY Off-Topic thread started. All others will be closed and re-directed back here.
Keep it clean, but have some fun. OT threads are a great way to filter out rif-raf from the Q&A and Development sections/threads.

I like the Nexus for a cheap unlocked phone that works on Tmo-Wind networks, but hate that it has no SD card slot and only 16GB max. I don't have a ton of stuff on my SD card but I did have to go from a 16 to 32GB card a while ago just to keep enough music and other things I like on my phone on there. Right now if I buy one and activate it on Wind, I'd get 50$ credit, but meh. lol. Sad thing is this phone will get updates for a while probably while all the other phones don't.
I hate seeing some of the new phones Sammy is releasing, 800mhz processor but JB on it. Can't give us JB.
Part of the problem is our carriers, they are limited in the number of phones they buy for their bands, which limits us too., Is sammy going to release a JB update for the S2 that has 10's of millions of phones, or our phone, that probably is maybe a million or less, so we suffer and S2 users get the goods as well as the new crappy music player galaxy 800mhz phones.
Rain sucks.
Ultragen rocks, it's still my DD and was Remics before that. I like the touchwiz interface and launcher. It's smooth. I don't want 6000 dumb transition effects like loops and twirls and spinny things, just one transition that works well and looks good and I find touchwiz does that.
That is all for now. lol.

I ended up with the S3 for that reason. I get horrible signal at work, on top of not being allowed to have a camera phone, so it stays in my pocket. The horrible signal problem makes it so all of my music has to be on my sdcard. I didn't want to have to fight between music and apps with the Nexus 4.

Personally I like adw just for the customization. And it is minor things like only needing four dock icons. There are a couple cool themes but most of the time Im rocking the stock adw theme with some modified icons. I dont know what some of these developers where thinking with the design of their app icon.
Cool. Glad to see everyone enjoying the thread. My next phone will be a Samsung 3.2ghz octi-core phone/tablet/wallet that charges off of body heat. It will have an 25mp camera and 64GB of internal memory with an external SD capable of 128MB. I hear it will be out Spring of 2014. Can't wait. lol

LOL. Nice to have you both here. Might as well invite prbassplayer, oka1, and TRusselo over. My infractions list is the who's who of moderators. Sorry your not on that list Woody. Actually hope that you never have to be.
In all seriousness, though, hopefully you guys will be here just to have a good time chatting things up and not have to actually do any moderation. It's a slim chance but one that I'm hoping occurs.

I like the Nexus for a cheap unlocked phone that works on Tmo-Wind networks, but hate that it has no SD card slot and only 16GB max. I don't have a ton of stuff on my SD card but I did have to go from a 16 to 32GB card a while ago just to keep enough music and other things I like on my phone on there.

I recently switched over to the Nexus 4 and am loving it. The phone comes with free 50gb of cloud service, and they sent me an offer to give 50gb to a friend. You can store all of you music on there and just download when needed. I know it's nice to have everything on you sd card but you are never going to listen to that much music at once. Also I assume you have backups of all your music on your pc or elsewhere, but if your sd card crashes or explodes or breaks in half all your files are gone, a little safer on cloud service. I've never heard of anyone losing their files on a cloud server, not saying that it can't happen.
Anyways 16gb (12.92gb actual) is still a lot of room don't let that be your deterrent from purchasing the Nexus.

Hello,
I will get a Nexus 5 this month, the 16 GB version and it really pisses me off that the stock android has ~8 GB... that will use half of my phone space....
A friend told me it's worth installing a custom ROM. But, it really is?
I was thinking at Cyanongenmod and Elix-R, but I have no idea how the custom ROM works, never installed one, never had one.
Which one is the best? And how can I see how much space will they occupy?
I will use my phone for applications like Facebook, Kik, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Steam and games.
So, what I need to know:
1. Best custom ROM(s) for what applications I will use (read at top)
2. Please tell me how much space will the occupy. Every of them.

what are you talking about? where do yoy hear these rumors? the 16gb model has about 13gb free for you to use. only the samsung sgs 1, 2, 3, and 4 had 8gb in their 16gb versions, because samsung adds much useless junk to their stock roms. the nexus devices NEVER come with bloatware.
also, there is NO SUCH THING AS A BEST ROM. to every person, they are different. best is only for you, and what fits your needs best. there isnt such a thing as a one size fits all rom. anyways, xda does not let you ask this question, as theres no best roms.
also, cm might be popular, but its far from a good rom.
before you do anything to your phone, learn first. read about modding, about how to fix things, about how to do things properly before you do anything, or youll be starting a thread titled "help, i bricked my dev ice".
OK, maybe I lied... I have a HTC Desire and I installed ~3 custom ROMs on it. I currently use Cyanongenmod V7.
A friend of mine told me that the stock android uses ~8 GB on his Nexus 5 (32 GB version).
I was thinking at installing Elix-R custom ROM.
It seems to be a simple ROM, for what I need... simple things.
What do you guys think?
I found just now the rules about "BEST ROM". I'm sorry ! But now I'm talking about Elix-R ROM Not breaking the rules anymore.

install what you like, as there are many good roms for the n5(almost all of them). it takes minutes to flash, if you dont like a rom, flash another. no one is going to tell you which rom to use.
your friend is a bit off, android doesnt use 8gb, it uses almost 3.
Umm, I will go for the Elix-R one.
The zip file has ~400 mb.
Do you guys know ~ how much space it will occupy after I install it?
more than 400mb. you have 3gb dedicated to system stuff, it doesnt touch your storage, and you cant use the other space left over in the system, its only for system stuff.

Another question...
After I root my Nexus 5 and install Elix-R... I was thinking at buying a Micro SD adapter.
The product is called "Dash Micro with USB-MicroUSB Adapter & Case, Carbon Black". It costs 12$ and it's from the company named meenova.
I will be able to install apps & games on the SD Card and open & play them ?

Not sure about apps and games, but you'll need Stickmount or an alternative if the ROM doesn't have it implemented.

Google the product name followed by the word review and you'll likely be able to determine if the purchase is one you should make or not. More likely than not, someone with a Nexus 5 has bought that product before and left a review.

Apps as in apk, no but game data (including obb) yes, with root and folder mount.
However a word of warning, the N5 isn't comfortable to play games in landscape mode with a USB device hanging out the port.
Personally I gave up and will get much bigger memory on my next device.

You are one of those persons who talk without knowing anything about what they talk.
A phone company offers a nice deal, you pay ~80 EUR in the first month, and in the next 12 months you pay 25 EUR / month.
+ unlimited mobile data and unlimited international & national minutes for 5 eur / month
And that's the only phone I can afford at that price. Asked them if they got the 32 GB version, no, they dont.

I officially just destroyed my phone yesterday. I was riding my motorcycle and forgot to take it from my pocket to my riding bag. When I got to the gym I noticed it wasn't in the bag and didn't know if I left it home but just FELT something was wrong. I used my nexus s (which is now an MP3 player for the gym) to remote install googles find me service. After a while it finally popped and said it was half way from the gym to my house. I rode back and found it. Someone actually picked it up and brought it into a deli.
Anyway the screen was shattered.... like SHATTERED.
This didnt bother me since the glass was already cracked and everything else seemd to work okay UNTIL I went to make a call.
When making a call and putting the phone up to my ear the screen goes black and it takes a LOT of playing around to come back. I get NO AUDIO when using in handset mode. Like no one hears me and I Cant hear them. I can use it fine in speaker mode oddly.
I took it apart and everything internally looks fine. No boards cracked the speaker looks fine, headphone jack fine. My guess is maybe when it fell the headphone jack and/or speaker maybe popped out of its socket and its confusing the handset when not on speaker.
ANYWAY
I can buy a new screen for 80$ on amazon. Do you guys think its worth it if Im not 100% sure thats the full issue. I could buy a speaker and headphone jack for like 4$ a piece which is nothing but then I was wondering if the light sensor got messed up (which I dont think so) and thats actually fully soldered to the board. I can solder but cant find that part so I think it would require buying a whole main board.
Im using my S4 WHICH I HATE for now and miss my Nexus . Like I feel naked without it, and honestly want to fix it because it was a gift from my girlfriend for x mas cause I wanted it so bad. I feel horrible because this is the FIRST phone Ive ever had something like this happen to. Lucky it had a good spigen case and aside the screen everything else looks new still.
What would you guys do?
If you bought it from Google Play, take advantage of Google's offer to replace/repair all cracked screens for free.

Google don't care. They even accept rooted phones as RMA for warranty. Only LG care, for non-play store purchases

Google does not care if you rooted your device. Its a "hardware issue" (if you can call a shattered screen like that ) anyways so it wouldn't make a difference wether the device was rooted or not.
SERIOUSLY ALL OF YOU

funny thing is I also JUST RMA'd for the loose power button right before then never sent it in. Being lazy and complacent finally paid off once cause they said if I had any other RMAs I might not have qualified cause tis case by case
