[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
I just finished watching the Home Shopping Network (HSN)'s pitch for the NC from back in late March, and then read through the comments on their page.

Comments started out strong with people receiving their units about April 2nd, but then soured about two weeks later as the 'mid April' update didn't materialize. The comments which were negative indicated that in order to return the NC within the 30 day deadline they had to begin that process around April 15th or so. The avalanche of disappointed HSN buyers just kept piling on starting about that time. The last week or so of reviews is decidedly negative and has many sharing the sentiment that they were returning their units, using the lack of an OTA update by 'Mid-April' as the reason (though I suspect that the $50 extra cost for an uSD card plus 100 classic books drove a lot of the anger).

Shortly after the avalanche on HSN's site, we began to see B&N offering 'certified pre-owned' units for about 10% OFF ($225 instead of $250).

I don't believe in coincidences - do we think that the Certified Pre-Owned units are HSN returns, which ironically might be bought by the very people who returned them in the first place?
[Nook Color General] magicalsleeper:
That's some interesting thinking. I totally forgot about the HSN thing and haven't heard about the certified pre owned stuff. Sounds like something BN would do though.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
they should offer 50$ off instead of 25$.. preowned kinda taints the unit for me and i wouldnt wanna risk it for that price
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Could also be a small percentage of them are from idiots who "bricked" it an brought it back to B&N. I bet B&N has their own recovery SD or USB boot toolset.

I purchase a case at tmobile cost like 40 I drop my phone and the clip broke can i return it and get another one? I have the original reciept?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] neidlinger:
Most of the stores will tell you the belt clips and phone cases carry no warranty. However it never hurts to try.. ..

just drop by a store and ask.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] TeeJay3800:
It sounds like that might be the same case I have. Is it the leather case that covers the front, back, and sides?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] epsix:

I have a stock Inspire headed my way today and one way or another it is going to be rooted within an hour or so of it getting into my mitts !

Is there a SBF for the Inspire so I can reload the original ROM should things go south ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
To perm root this phone, the hboot(bootloader) has to be downgraded to take advantage of an exploitable one to get S-Off(nand lock) so radios and roms can be flashed. Gingerbreak only temp roots and doesn't attain s-off.

Search for the RUU, it's what's needed restore the stock unrooted rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Andy_Thatcher:
Downloading the Stock now, thank you !

Should have searched before asking.

Going to give it a go as I haven't seen anything written about it. Figure as long as I have a stock to get back to it can't do much harm, that and it will wipe the SD card which is handy as it is a used phone. I go through a few and some of the things people leave on their old phones amazes me. Can be amusing though !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:
So, my wife's Blackberry 8520 sucks. It's time she comes over to Android. I've read all that I can on the G2, and despite the fact that it's not part of this new/upcoming generation of phones, everything seems perfect for her.

What are the downsides that I'm missing? I don't want to take the blame if she ends up not liking it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
the only negative that I would find if I was female would be the size and weight of it. Its one of the heaviest phones availble at the moment. The only thing she is going to miss from her BB is going to be BBM though. There is whatsapp of course but for the BB faithfull its not really the same.

Battery life will be worse than her 8520.

But if she isn't worried about size, its a great phone for social networking, I've never had any issues with dropped calls (whilst running a stock or stable rom). I love it.

And even with the new generation of duel core phones coming out, there is nothing with a hardware keyboard. Which is one of the things blackberry users value most.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jRi0T68:
Thanks. What's worst case scenario on battery life? Any chance it won't get her 12 hours with heavy facebook and texting?

[Droid Eris Android Development] mjgdroid:
This was started under Install Linux on Eris, so I decided it needs its own thread.

Wow I almost forgot about this, I was actually wondering about xampp on my eris!!! if you get it working you should let us know. also I have a fix for the swap, because we werent getting enough swap. That is the reason I logged on was to tell you all how to get more swap so I am going to post it here first, then start a new thread.

Ok here it gos, in the market place you will need to download 2 apk's. The first apk is the swapper for root created by Eliss Kustans, the second apk is swapper for foot by Dario 'Azatoth' Lipari. Now here is what you do.

1. run swapper for root the one made by Dario Azatoth Lipari, and create a swap file how ever big you want to make it and place it on the root of your sdcard. Dario's swapper apk allows you to make swap files as alarge as you would like, so you can make a swap for 500 megs or so. This can take a while, let it run after its finished or if you get an error, you might be ok you will know after the rest of the steps are done.

2.remove Dario's Azatoth Lipari's apk you dont need it anymore, or put it in the vault or save it for later, but you dont want it installed, because it can interfere with what we are going to do.

3.now run Eliss Kustans swapper, and go to settings, make sure you uncheck remove, and recreate/reformatt swap on startup, you don't want either of these boxes checked. Find your swap file and set the location and name in the settings also.

4.now go to main menu of Eliss Kustans swapper, and choose format swap file, so that it will be formated for Eliss Kustans swapper, this can take a while let it run. Sometimes I get an error, and some times it freezes my phone, just re-start the phone, also you can probably ignore most of the erros, because I did and it still works for me. After a clean restart and the swap file installed run swapper.

5. now just choose start swap, should say swap started succefully and choose info after to see your new 500+ megabyte swap file in action.

This should help with the memory issue we were running into on linux

What are you guys using setting wise in handbrake for endoding your movies. I'm trying to do regular profile normal it looks like. I select the mp4 container, and basically start the process.

Once I try to play it on my tablet, it doesnt work. I tried rockplayer and mplayer...nothing

Just your basic 1080p mkv movies that are 7-10gigs I'm trying to basically convert to 720 or whatever so the tablet can do it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MechAniX.one:
I would really like to know what the best setting to make the smallest files is. I want to fit all my kids cartoons on the G.Tab with out taking up too much space. And with out losing too much quality.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] wrichards2009:
480p would probably be sufficient. The tablet does support 1080p, but probably not without hardware acceleration (which isn't supported by android 2.3).

480p watching cartoons your kids probably won't notice. and you'd gain a lot of room.
[G1 Android Development] bornmw:
Everyone heard the news about Android spying on its owners and sending cell/wifi/location whatever info to Google.

Can someone please clarify whether custom ROMs are also subject to this 'spying' behavior?

If some ROMs are and some aren't then maybe we could produce a list of spying/non-spying ROMs?

PS

yes I've read Don't Start A New Thread, used search and did RTFW
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
None of the custom roms here would do that or secretly send information in the background. Unless you get some app that does that w/o you knowing.
[G1 Android Development] BeenAndroidized:
GAPPS! But you can turn off the option that send the status.
[G1 Android Development] jianC:
Sure.. your android rom might send info to google.. if that disturbs you. I don't think that not using a custom rom will give less info to google, as if they don't know enough about you already lol.
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
The information that is sent to Google is an opt-in/opt-out deal. When you first set-up your phone, it gives you a check box (automatically checked) to send anonymous information to them about your location, apps, version etc. They use this information for demographics, development and marketing. They don't collect anymore information from you than department stores or credit card companies. It could be possible for a third party application to collect this type of information as well, but the application tells you all the information it accesses when you install it.

[GT540 Optimus General] sandulea:
Since I upgraded from stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 (version 1.8 was the first one I used, then I went directly to 2.0, all installed via fastboot with a wipe beforehand) I cannot log on to Yahoo. I've tried Smart Keyboard and Big Buttons keyboard, I entered the user and password carefully dozens of times in different apps (browser, mail app, weather app, messenger app, K9 mail app), I made sure numerous times that I was typing the right thing, but still nothing, and because Yahoo doesn't tell you which is the wrong one (password or username), I can't tell where the problem is.

My username and password have the following particularities which may cause some problem with the keyboard (that's my best guess at the moment): the username has an underscore (_) and 2 numbers in it, while the password features only letters, but is 41 characters long. Since logging in works on every computer and has worked on the 2.1 android, the gingerbread keyboard is my current guess (even though I also tested on Smart Keyboard 8 and Big Buttons Keyboard with the same result), but I'd like to hear other thoughts. Meanwhile I'll try and install the 2.3 LG IME I saw somewhere around here and see if it fixes it.
[GT540 Optimus General] sandulea:
I did get to send an email from gmail to yahoo, so the email address (username) isn't the problem. Since all the keyboards I tested failed to log me in, I'm guessing there's something about Mur4ik's ROMs that doesn't like longer passwords.I was hoping to post this directly in the thread in the development section as a potential bug, but I've got to stack up a few more posts before...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Having used a Xoom for almost two months now, I'll say that Honeycomb does not have the same sensitivity to orientation changes as the iPad (by design, I'm sure). It's ironic, in fact, that the delay that's built into orientation changes in Honeycomb has been called "lagginess" by many reviewers, while I've heard a number of iPad users complain because it switches if you look at it wrong.

I've yet to find orientation a problem in Honeycomb. I don't expect the Transformer to be any different.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
As stated above, i'm sure the orientation delay is designed so it doesnt jump around all the time. No there's no hardware button for locking it. There are plenty of widgets on the market for this very purpose. Although it's easy enough just to bring up the settings pane and lock it that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms_uk:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L0$t$0ul:
Thanks for the feedback, the orientation switching of the iPad is a huge annoyance to me. Glad to hear it is not as big a problem on android 3. As long as there is a way to lock it I'll be happy. I have an archos 70 as well and the only widget lockers I could find would lock to either portrait or landscape but would not lock to the current sensor position which is an annoyance as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberguest:
the delay is by design, good or bad, i don't know, up to personal preferences. censor is fast as you can see in games, and the battery level water live wallpaper.

i am sure soon we'll see 3rd party settings that allows you to adjust the delay.

also removed are the home, back hardware buttons that i thought were useful.

Good to know, know of any other roms other than CM7, Stock, MIUI that they function on?? Looking for a Sense Rom but so far been not working out too well on this device for Gameloft Games.

Edit: Oddly enough I got the games functioning by uninstalling them and restoring the games through APK Installer rather than using the normal MyBackup method. I am thinking there is a screw up somewhere in these Roms between MyBackup and Gameloft somehow. Shrug who knows but I did get it working on eViL's Rom.

Actually, I had quite similar problem before. I found out one of the reason might not be ROM's fault. It might be the default dpi of 240 was changed to a different value for smaller fonts view.

Just use Root Explorer to check your default dpi on system/build.prop. Change it back to 240, restart and check the games. Since I don't change it anymore on my Royal Ginger 1.6, all HD Gameloft games worked like charms.
