[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
Non Windows Tablet is for entertainment. Period.

Sure there are few things you can do that might turn them into productive devices, but its always PITA.

It does come in handy if you are lazy ( I am one of the bunch ) and want to watch a movie / TV serial before going to sleep in bed, or want to show pics to your friends and parents without getting them anywhere close to my Laptop or PC (I just hate it when people touch my PC ).

Its good for reading websites in bed or on the toilet seat. And its good for casual gaming. I know some people use it as VNC to control their PCs in case of something urgent. But that can be done from your phone as well.

Honestly, if you have good set of eyes and dont mind smaller screen, you can do all this from 4.3incher like I do with my DHD. But Tablet does have its charms. Specially if its good one like transformer or upcoming Sammy 10.1.

But I wont be buying another device that cannot do what desktop does anymore. I had given a shot to tablets but I wont be buying any of these.

Now Asus EP121 is something I would be interested in if it was couple of 100 USD cheaper. $800 for that and I am sold.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
I have a tmo tab 7", and I also have a vibrant, desktop and laptop. I have to I find myself picking up my tab to do my casual web browsing, playing emulators during down time at work, and watching movies/ looking up sports scores while out.. Oh, and making phone calls.

my desktop gets no use what so ever, laptop only when I need to for work. My phone... Just collecting dust. Only use it to tether to my tab.

imo the 7" screen is perfect size, as it is portable enough to fit in my back pocket, light enough to hold in one hand comfortably, and large enough to make entertainment on my phone just silly. If I lay my vibrant on my tab, I can get roughly 3 of them... So even though the screen is only '3" larger', it is considerably larger than a phone.

Its my all in one device, and highly recommend one to all.

>My sister has a xoom, its too big and heavy to use comfortably with one hand.. Not portable at all unless you walk around wirh a man purse. Same as the ipad2
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
Can anyone give me a quick tutorial on how to set titanium backup up on my atrix, i had it on my cappy, but i just need to know really where the actual files need to be on my sd cards, whether it be on external or internal sd. the way it was set up on my cappy was kinda screwey. i did better just saving the files on my computer once backed up, rather than saving the just to my external sd. im having a hard time explaining exactly what im trying to do, so any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: solution to backup to external sd:

go in to tibu> menu button> preferences> backup folder location> press back button twice> select sdcard-ext> then select the green "create a new folder"
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
titanium backup has its own site full of info on how to use the app. i would suggest going there and looking for the answers to your questions
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
As far as where your files need to be I don't really understand that part but if you want to know where the backup goes look like since our device is "unique" lol in calling the internal memory an sd card we can't set it to save to our actual sd cards but you can set it to go to your dropbox.

thats just my 2 cents

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Copy and paste the TiBU folder to your external card or computer before flashing. Then after your done, paste the folder back to the Atrix's internal sd card and restore. I only restore user apps and not their data, restoring system apps/settings can cause problems.

When using Root Explorer on my Cap or Atrix or my roommates DInc there are 2 folders for SD Card, one has an "ext" indicating its the external card. The other 'SD Card' is the internal memory.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
As soon as I get on a computer, I will thank you all, well except for whoever directed me to tibu website, j/k I've already been there though... I was just looking for real advice from real people. More device specific I guess... But that's all I needed. Thanks guys

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
You can't restore directly from Dropbox. The Dropbox backup is used to replace the files in your Ti backup folder on the internal SD card if they get wiped. If you lose the SD card backup, you sync with Dropbox in Ti, and it downloads all the apps back to your internal SD card, (the default backup folder).

I backup to both so I am covered all around. Works with the Atrix cos' I've had to use it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
its pretty much JUST like the captivate

/sdcard/titaniumbackup

which is a symlink to

/mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

there is no difference in that regard. if you want to save it all to the external SD you need to change the path in TIBU to

/mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
this is what i was looking for! thanks, but im trying to create that folder and it just says failed to create the folder "/mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup" am i doing something wrong? sorry, i feel like such a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff

Then I removed the sd card and everything go well! Now I have a rooted phone.

I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in.

Hey guys, I am having some issues with one specific app. The “iradar” by cobra, after installing Twisted Sense 1.5.1 I keep getting FCs. I did not have this issue with any other Rom I had tried before. The app requires Bluetooth and GPS for full functionality, but they are not required. The actual error message is as follows “The application Cobra iRadar (process com.cobra.iradar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again”. I have tried fixing permission, clearing cache and removing and reinstalling the app, no change. Any suggestions?

If I set a certain setting, does it change the system voltage at boot even if I don't run the app after a reboot?

Also could someone summarize how each I/O scheduler methods are programmed?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashleygreene:
using Voltage Control (free from the market) for tweaking gives you two options.

Apply for now

Save as boot settings

it is best to try new settings under "apply for now" and after you have tested the settings for a day or so then "save as boot settings". if you restart your phone before applying boot settings then just open the app and "apply for now" again.

hope this helps, someone else will have to help on the I/O question.

thanks, went through this and stumbled at the point where you copy your Outlook Main calendar into the WL account. You could also tell Outlook to only use your WL calendar. Of course this won't get you the already populated data into the WL calendar but it will sync anything you put into the Outlook calendar as well (which is now your WL calendar). In our case we have Rainlendar desktop calendar connected to Outlook. Any changes we make to the Rainlendar calendar will automatically show up on Phone.

Any hope of a solution that doesn't going through a third party online service? Trying to abide by company security policies which means Outlook data goes from your desktop to your phone or it does go at all. And I can't connect straight to the server from my phone. All I want is my calendar.

crazy ass idea. I know squat about hardware, so tell me quickly this won't work. I actually haven't purchased a new WinPho 7 yet. Want to. Calendar syncing is the only hold up. Are SIM cards backwards compatible? I've got an HTC Fuze. Syncing my calendar there is no issue. So is it possible to sync my calendar there to that SIM card and then move the card to the WP7 device and import the calendar entries there?

Simple Solution

Make WP7 and Outlook sync directly. The cloud is fine but for those of us who want to keep out data close at hand, there is not solution.

Of all the WM 6.5 things most of us miss the most is the direct sync via USB or BT wireless of contacts, calendars, tasks; etc.:mad:

Please tell me a direct simple solution for this will be available; either before mango or in Mango. I don't want to hear that it won't be available at all.

I am still surprised at how set on the fact they are on the Cloud! Technology is brilliant, but used properly. MS are running along with eyes closed looking at Google and Apple every now and again, and then closing their eyes!

The WP7 would be by far the most efficient, in both power and usability, phone out there if they could rectify such a simple problem...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herschen:
I recently rooted my Samsung Captivate using SuperOneClick 1.9.1. The only things I have done since rooting the device is allow sideloading (by editing settings.db with SQLite Editor), so I can install apps from Amazon Appstore and used Titanium Backup to delete bloatware.

I noticed that when I installed SwiftKey that I would click 'Enable Swiftkey' and then click on Swiftkey settings only to be told that I need to enable swiftkey in order to change the settings. I thought it was a problem with swiftkey.

However, I then noticed that the phone kept reverting to USB Debugging Mode and only after three attempts was I able to disable USB debugging and mount my drive. I finally figured out that it's a problem with changing settings; can anybody tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Super one click 1.whatever has the option to enable side-loading ( 2nd tab! ) so you really waisted some time on that one!

if you are running a custom rom, they are made to keep debugging on, it doesnt stop you from doing anything.

to enable swift key:

menu button > settings > locale and text > check swiftkey to enable.

ive never used swiftkey but that is how all other keyboards go....

all else fails install a custom rom / pre-rooted, crap removed, extra options, side loading tethering ect...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herschen:
More info

The problem isn't just SwiftKey or USB debugging. All settings on the phone are screwed up. I hold down the power button and bring up the options:

Data Network Mode: I restarted the phone and 3g was enabled. I clicked on the data network mode and disabled it. But now it's always off, yet it says it's activated (and I can't set it to deactivated)

Airplane Mode: I can't put the phone in airplane mode, nor can I do this from the settings menu

Sound: This works fine

On the Power Control Widget:

Brightness: I can change brightness, but the icon stays the same

Sync: This button works fine

GPS: This button is not responding

Bluetooth: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have bluetooth)

Wifi: n/a (the button lights up, but I don't have wifi nearby)

The settings menu:

I know that Swiftkey and USB debugging are giving me problems

As for the custom ROM, I was having problems with the the signature error on 2.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1051197)

I'm going to try out the advise from that thread and see if I can resolve this with a custom ROM. Normally I'd say this is "throwing out the baby with the bath water," but I'm excited about putting a custom ROM on my phone for performance reasons.

If there is another solution, I'd like to know about it because I want to be a little more adept before installing a ROM on my phone. Thanks.

wipe cache, dalvik, and battery stats then reboot, let your phone charge all the way and dont charge it again till you hit like 20% left on the battery, then charge it full again. this will make your phone start learning the way the new battery drains, usually if you change batteries you need to wipe battery stats.

sorry bro i assumed you knew a bit more, first of all to enter recovery you must be rooted.

know if you are in fact rooted to enter recovery you need to turn of your phone and press volume down while pressing power until your phone shows a white screen give it a second to load, now on that screen you should see recovery, the option to wipe battery stats should be there

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
man getting rooted isn't that hard, but its not for everyone, so what i would recommend is you use your phone normally and try to run the battery down to like20% left before you charge it for at least 3 charges. so your battery gets used to the charging cycle, also dont let your battery go below 10% ION batteries dont like it. also make sure you don't have any apps running in the background eating up your battery, juice defender works great on battery life, but if you think you are savvy enough to root click on my user name and send me a pm and ill help you
