superoneclick should help get you rooted

http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=803682

then you will need to do a nandroid backup just to save all your shit once you have root download titanium backup to further backup apps and stuff then you will be ready to put a custom ICS rom on it

i think the Nandroid backup if to save your default ROM if something goes wrong with your phone and you need to return it back to factory

Another iPhone eats shit. A 4s. Updated to iOS 6 and it's locked the phone solid. Do a hard reboot and nothing happens.

Same thing happened to an iPhone belonging to one of the sales guys about 4 weeks ago. The phone is now a paper weight.

The tally is now up to two since I started keeping count (so ignore the ~15 prior to that time).

As yet no HTCs or Samsungs have broken and the office is split pretty close to 50/50 Apple vs the rest.

So, i am totally new to phones with apps and all this jazz. Mostly not interested in games or widgets, just want to surf the net

I was just given a HTC Velocity as a temporary phone and was told to get Ice cream sandwich for it

... Can anybody please tell me how i go about doing this?

I would like to avoid the telstra store if possible, so i've come to youse guys first

Go to Settings >> About Phone >> Software Updates and check for updates. If it's not yet on ICS it will do it OTA. And you don't need to back anything up before hand. Just fire it off and after about 5 minutes your phone will reboot and you'll be up to date.

It would just be minor fixes.

Nothing noticeable.

well if its all free id obviously prefer the newer less buggy one, no?

followed that and have found the update. Why cant i see 4.0.3... its just the 4.0?

or is it the same thing?

The .3 on the end is just the build version. I recently updated my galaxy s2 from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via a OTA update, but to update it to 4.0.3 originally i had to plug it into the computer and use the samsung kies program

I've got a Velocity on ICS and have no issues whatsoever. The only time I ever have very weak or no signal is when in in the elevator at work. Apart from that, I've never seen it without near full service. Hell, I even got service at my parents home which in rural NSW and a mobile wasteland.

if it came loaded with ICS there seems to be issues at all

the update from 2.3.7 has shafted a lot of people

and i'd like to avoid being shafted if possible

Nope, mine came with Gingerbread, I did an OTA update to ICS.

the best way to avoid any issues after updating is to clear the cache afterwards. very few people do this, so they end up with bugs as there is still cache from before the update conflicting with updated firmware.

as i said in an earlier post, i just updated to 4.0.4 on my galaxy s2. had a few issues with the phone freezing for the first few days. cleared the cache and it's been fine ever since. even runs faster than it did straight after the update.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again馃様 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
