I am looking for an app that will correct the tags on my mp3s. I know there are a couple of apps that use the same technology as Shazam. Do these work good?

Any suggestions are appriciated.

Thanks

[EVO Shift 4G General] innate:
I have successfully rooted my HTC Shift and verified using the bootloader. I have been able to power down and power up the phone without any problems UNTIL I forgot to charge the battery one night and now all I can get the phone to do is to flash the LED 30 times. The screen never starts up, and I can't see the device from windows or linux when plugged in. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Put a charged batt in it and see if it boots.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
im assuming you're the same guy from the IRC.

Try a new battery as suggested above and in the IRC previously.
[EVO Shift 4G General] cloverdale:
I had the same thing happen with my G1 and my MyTouch, in both cases it was the battery.
[EVO Shift 4G General] akmzero:
For some reason HTC batteries from the snap up have a tendance of not turning on when they get below a certain voltage. Go to your local sprint store and ask them to test your battery, explain that you've heard of this issue on the evos. They shouldn't give you any issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Any luck?

If you came from an Evo or Hero you should be able to use the old battery from one of those.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kaw900r:

Yes it is a known issue they tell you they are going to jump start your phone / battery. But all in all i think they gave me a new battery. But I do have a new phone coming and maybe now my wife will keep it charged.:cool:

[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
PSYBORG this guys problem was related to the inability of the phone to charge when the battery died due to a recovery issue with Clockwork Mod Recovery.

He didn't DD the wrong hboot on his phone... :p

omfg you are too funny LOL

Why do you think they say dd stands for "disk destroyer" ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
I had the exact same issue with the shift. Its not a problem so to speak. Like said above once the phone drops below a certain charge it disables almost everything and it wont do anything and it wont charge! Why, even the guys at the sprint store who I'm all really good friends with, they didn't know either. Just get a battery charger and force the battery. That's what they did at the store
[Nexus S General] jimbob1981:
Issue resolved!
[Nexus S General] Bandis710:
I think the crispness of the text is because of the slcd . I had a galaxy s before I bought my nexus s .. The first difference i noticed was indeed the crispness of the text, on s amoled the text always looked a bit fuzzy even with sharpnes fixes... I do think the colorurs on the s amoled screen were "richer" than on the slcd screen.
[Nexus S General] tatwamasi:
If there's anything that bothers me about my i9020, it's that I can barely read the fuzzy, vague text on the screen. I can BARELY make it out half the time.

Very jealous of you guys.

EDIT: Im quite surprised no-one realised I was joking. I think my phone's screen looks amazing.
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
I don't know guys. I can read all the text on my i9020 just fine. I read all my kindle books on the smallest text settings and have no issues. This apps text looks great and so is web browsing.

This phone never had the yellow washed out color that alot of people complained about either.

The few times I've seen the two phones side by side the slcd screen looked terribly washed out compared to the super amoled.

Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
[Nexus S General] Nexus-S:
I have no problem reading the smallest of text on my SAMOLED Nexus S either and the pentile layout has never bothered me. In fact, side by side with a SLCD Nexus S the only way I can tell one from the other is by the black levels.

They are both very good displays.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Either your phone needs to be repaired or you may need to get your eyes checked.

[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Same here. I don't notice any fuzzy texts on the Nexus S or even the Vibrant when I had it (people were saying the same thing for the Vibrant too). Kind of curious what the fuzzy texts looks like. Any possible screenshots?
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
this.

because its not that bad to the point its unreadable.
[Nexus S General] spamlucal:
what some of you call "fuzzy" is the pentile pixel layout of the screen... (half the blue and red pixels compared to a conventional lcd screen)

see here: ars article

I personally think it's crap and can see it very clearly, it's about the only thing I don't like about my nexus one.
[Nexus S General] eiabea:
isn't there also a battery life issue??

i have a i9023 and my boss has a i9020, and my phone last much longer!
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
To be fair, certain fonts rendered in a smaller size dont look so great on SAMOLED pentile matrix screen. Like the font that comes with the matted blues theme.
[Nexus S General] jimbob1981:
Issue resolved!!!
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
man thats too close. is that how you read a text ? lol god help you :P " kidding "

i do see your point. and yes the Super amoled screen is not as clear in text as LCD. this was known for while. the advantage of the SA is deeper colors while better text reading and sharpness on SLCD.

i think they both look great. just matters of what you like most.
[Nexus S General] vaust:
If i am not mistaken, engadget had a review regarding the battery life between the amoled desire vs slcd desire. amoled version lasted like 30-45 mins longer playing same video in loop.
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
When you say a bit thicker... Is there any official specs about I9023? Cause I have been searching by Google about that thickness (already before I saw this thread), but I have found nothing. I am getting my I9023 this week and have been just wondering, cause it has "just" lcd screen, it must be a little thicker...
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
Thanks, that cleared. Sure looks a bit more "masculine", than I9020. Will see, when I get it to my hands...
[Nexus S General] JackTheGreat:
no offense guys, the SCLCD of i9023 is so amazing. I did not realize the big difference until going out to direct sunlight.

Compare to my previous HTC desire HD which is totally hopeless under direct sunlight this is so much better, viewing angles is also a plus point for this. About the SAMOLED, I tried couple times on my friend's galaxy S, still prefer my current SCLCD
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
Those pictures are so much alike besides the color is kinda silly. The pixels look exactly the same.

Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
indeed.the text is all the same.

from a normal eye point.

you dont even see the samoled crystals

so the picture is kinda pointles.only thing it shows is that

SLCD uses backlight and SAMOLED doesnt.

thus the SLCD back light being the reason why the 23 is thicker
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Is there a mix of these different models out there or is it that one is older than the other and the i9023 has superseded the i9020?

Do I just take pot luck as to which I receive buying here in the UK?
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
All the people I have heard only good thing about the SLCD. And everyone who has got a Galaxy S with SAMOLED screen before says SLCD looks better. Don't know then... That was a reason I courage my self to buy a Nexus S SCLCD after SAMOLED. I have had Galaxy S before and now Omnia7. I agree the text/colors doesn't look always so smooth/crisp. It's because SAMOLED doesn't support all the pixels with all the colors.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
from the pictures shown above i see the difference, but in real life i see no difference at all

to my eyes the SAMOLED is actually cleaner and easier to read, it gives a more natural feel to the vision

on the SLCD HTC Desire Z i was playing with the SLCD screen looked totally fake, boring like old LCD devices, just HD instead of SVGA
[Nexus S General] tatwamasi:
Seems no-one realised, I was joking.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
You friend get *it* ... what's *it* - i9020 or i9023?
[Nexus S General] Mokurex:
I believe carphone warehouse uk is selling the s-amoled version, if that's what you're looking for.
[Nexus S General] Mofa3:
the desire has a slcd from sony and the nexus s has a sclcd from samsung ;)

the display from samsung looks better.
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Super Clear LCD, Super AMOLED, both look great! I would never change my i9023 for a i9020, but I understand if you think differently.

I think Super Clear LCD has all the advantages over Super AMOLED, except for black. However, I found myself not even noticing it anymore after a couple of days. Besides the black, colors are amazing (yeah, colors can also be amazing when they are not oversaturated), screen is crisp and clear and the fact that you can read it in direct sun is very cool.
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
Thats what I have heard too. The main difference is just, that in SCLCD the black is not black. But all other way it's awesome.
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Just don't let you fool by the internet. And yes, that includes me. Best thing to do is to hold the two versions next to each other, which isn't always possible. But reading on the internet about the screens also isn't a good idea. There is so much .... on the web, even on the big tech sites.
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
Course not. Well this week I will see it my self and I have also the possibility to test it side by side with SAMOLED screen.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Thanks, I'm not particularly looking for the AMOLED, I am just curious to know what markets are getting what (if it works that way). I thought the i9023 was the new one and was the one I was most likely to get but if CPW are still selling the AMOLED it seems not - unless they're selling old stock?
[Nexus S General] Mokurex:
It's actually by region. The nexus s in the us and some retailers in the uk have the s-amoled version. Due to limited supply of s-amoled (they had to supply it to their own line of galaxy s I assume), they switched to a sclcd in other markets. CPW definitely had s-amoled when the nexus launched in UK, but I don't know about now though. Maybe drop them an email to check first.
[Nexus S General] lf2k5:
I was under the impression that CPW were selling the 9020 whereas if you buy on Vodafone or elsewhere in the UK chances are you'd be getting the 9023. My local CPW still has the 9020 - I've just checked...
[Nexus S General] Bolick:
Speaking about screens I compared Galaxy S with SAMOLED and SLCD screens side by side and got an impression that the only visible difference is more vivid colors of SAMOLED. Sharpness for me looks quite the same.

And than I got my Nexus S 9020 (which owns its SAMOLED too) I may not complain on small text readability issues.

And then I believe another advantage of SAMOLED is power consumption against LCDs. Especially while setting the most of GUI with black backgrounds (launcher, messaging, phone/contacts etc).
[Nexus S General] cvenk:
I found some pictures of both screens - side by side.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/carnero/5553259435/in/photostream/
[Nexus S General] :
The SLCD screen is a lot sharper than then SAMOLED version. The pixels per inch on the SLCD is 335 and 235 on the SAMOLED.

SLCD (Norway)

http://www.google.no/nexus/#/tech-specs

SAMOLED (USA)

http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs

Maybe they should rename then :)

SAMOLED = SuperColour

SLCD = SuperSharp
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
I received my I9023 and I have to say, I was really surprised about the screen. It looks so great. I actually like it more than the SAMOLED "candy colors". Not missing AMOLED anymore at least. :)
[Nexus S General] Nexus-S:
That is a mistake. The resolution on the SAMOLED version and the SCLCD version is the same - 235ppi.
[Nexus S General] :
You are correct.

Damn Google's Nexus page is full of faults.

Nederland:

Curved 4" Super Clear LCD-scherm

AMOLED

235 PPI

129 g

Romania/Spain:

Super LCD

335 ppi

129 g

WTF?
[Nexus S General] JuWa:
I think it's not a mistake. Resolution is the same, but ppi SCLCD has more than SAMOLED Pentile Matrix.

I like my SLCD screens finde better than AOMLD
[Nexus S General] sickzz:
I love my i9023!

I was realy suprised about the SC-LCD screen. It's much better than the from the HTC Desire!
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
All the praises for the SCLCD screen have made me regret my decision to go with i9020 :(

I totally agree that text is much clearer on LCDs...

I guess I'll just have to deal with it, and move onto the next Nexus phone when it comes out.
[Nexus S General] xod42:
I like my SLCD, but the colors look a bit boring, since my notebook has a great (and oversaturated) display, too. I didn't want the SAMOLED version, mainly because of the PenTile madness. The SLCD is very sharp and display awesome text. Just be aware that the black levels aren't that great. From the side, the black becomes red-ish soon and with the SAMOLED screen, you can use a black overlay to dim the screen beyond what's possible with the LCD.
[Nexus S General] Kayatoast:
If you want to see the differences between the i9020 and i9023 you can check out this review. Looks like battery life is the biggest difference, and some size differences due to slcd tech.

It's interesting that they refer to the samoled version as the google nexus s and the slcd version as the samsung nexus s through this review. Anything in that I wonder?

Nexus S with SC-LCD

Nexus One

Italian review of the Nexus S, with an analysis of the display. Click.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Not too sure how to interpret this image and my Italian isn't upto much to gain any clue from the review.

Anyone have a summary?
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Basically the image tells you that the SC-LCD is slightly undersaturated when it comes to cyan and magenta, but the other colors are pretty realistic. You can translate the review into English with google.translate.com

Here is an image of DisplayMate. It is a different site, but they probably use the same test. The Motorola Droid is said to have the most realistic screen there is, only 3% oversaturated. I guess the SC-LCD of the Nexus S is almost the same.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Thanks for the summary :)
[Nexus S General] dasbin:
Actually it's not accurate to interpret those color charts as giving any information as to "oversaturation" or "undersaturation." What they are actually showing you is the available gamut of the screen. SRGB is just an old standard way of describing colors that most cheap LCD's can reproduce within gamut. If a screen can exceed the SRGB gamut, it doesn't tell you the screen is "oversaturated." It tells the screen is capable of displaying more saturated colors, if you want it to. This is a good thing.

Unfortunately when you simply apply images from the SRGB color space (still applies to most things in the computer world unfortunately, but this is slowly changing) to a screen with a higher gamut, the color values get mapped incorrectly and will be oversaturated. I think SAMOLED does this, but you couldn't tell by looking at the gamut graphs. It's annoying.

It's not the screen's fault for having a big gamut. It's the software's fault for assuming you always have a crappy screen that is exactly SRGB gamut (btw, almost no screen today is, which is creating a big mess of inaccurate color in the computer world).

All you need to fix this is a software layer of color correction. This will map the correct colors values to where they should be, and leave values outside SRGB for only when they are specified to be displayed (in other words, when you *want* really saturated color only).

I don't think Android is color corrected in any way at this point unfortunately. It wouldn't be too hard to do, but no one has done it.

IMHO it needs to be done if SAMOLED displays continue to be more popular.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotericpiguy:
I could be wrong but when ever I edit an apk and not sign it, it will not properly run our get recognized if I put it in data/app. But if I move it to the system/app folder it will run.

It has something to do with signature or permissions. Not being checked when in system/app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
Makes sense. Logically if I were HTC or Google or whatev if I ran an unsigned apk from data i ran the risk of something bad happening. But if it were in system, then I probably created it myself, and nothing else is modified... right? :p

Thanks for the replay, i what root access to try to install Android Market ... do you think is possible?
[General Questions and Answers] linkerro:
Solution

Just finished rooting this damn thing and it wasn't the easiest thing to figure out.

I used a 2 stage process.

Stage 1 (run superoneclick using the psneuter option until it fails)

If you're familiar with this skip to stage 2

get the adb driver from here

configure it to see the ziio using these instructions

get SuperOneClick from here

run it with psneuter root option selected until it stops and says FAILED

Explenation:

The ADB driver is needed for interacting with the tablet in a command line.

SuperOneClick comes with all you need to crack this baby. It loads the psneuter app which gives you temporary shell root and loads busybox on which is an app everybody and their grandmother uses.

Stage 2 (finishing what superoneclick can't)

Go to superoneclick's folder then in the Root folder you find there

Copy the su-v3 file to the adb folder (situated in Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools

Rename it to simply su

Start cmd and navigate to the adb folder

Use the following commands:

adb push su /sbin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod 4755 /sbin/su
rm /data/busybox/su
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/busybox/busybox
chmod 4755 /data/busybox/busybox
exit
adb pull /system/ziilabs/init.rc

Open the new file in the adb folder named init.rc

Edit it and change the line

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk_data1 /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime

with

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk_data1 /data nodev noatime nodiratime

Save the file

Push it back to the ziio using

adb push init.rc /system/ziilabs/init.rc

Reboot the tablet and you should have root

Explanations:

SuperOneClick fails because it expects normal android file locations, which the ziio doesn't uses (probably to make it harder to root). All the files that are normally held in sbin apear to be in /data/busybox (weird). You have to delete the original su app, load the new su app in the /sbin directory where the superuser apk expects it to be, move the busybox application to the folder where the ziio has it's internal apps and allow it's use.

Thanks to CLShortFuse for superoneclick, to toolzz whose information gathering started me on this trail and thanks to mrrooty whose post here helped me figure out which su version I was suposed to use.
