[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {Diemex}:
I've been thinking about using my Tab at school instead of handwritten notes.

But I'm not quite sure if this is really practical.

I've got a stylus, but no bluetooth keyboard yet.

It would probably work out in most of the "knowledge-based" subjects like biology, physics and politics if I used a bluetooth keyboard.

But subjects like maths would already be a problem. Because of all the maths - specific - symbols.

We still get quite a few "hardcopies" of worksheets. I'm not to fond of having papercopies and digital notes and then ending up in complete chaos.....

Could you maybe share your thoughts on this. Maybe also someone that has also used a laptop for notes.

Is this a good idea, or will it end in chaos?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
If you can find a decent hand writing recognition app, you could just write everything like normal.

I use my tab at university for class, but I use a small bt kb

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brilldoctor:
If you are looking for that sort of thing then the htc flyer better. try running the paper copys through ocr software (xp has some and acrobat works)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimov000:
i bought a bluetooth keyboard and it works great.

60 hours on one loading of 3 hours with a mini usb charger

together with a good apk which changes keystrokes in a macro you can do all financial and math calculations

I bought my bluetooth keyboard in the netherlands at mobilesupplies.nl and have paid around 70 euro for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransdev:
Hi Guys,

I updated my SGS 1 from Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3.2 with Odin. So far so good but when I look into my apps they don't reappear on my phone. If I go into my market account on the web they are still there, as they supposed to be (cloud)

But when I signed into my google account/market on my phone the apps don't appear and I understood they should !

Can anyone please give some advice?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilokilo1066:
I think odin automatically wipes all user data. If you have purchased the apps then you can easily reinstall them from 'my apps' in android market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransdev:
I know Odin wipes but my apps which I can see on the online Android Market under my account should turn up on my phone or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Only if you download them .

Gingerbread is Beta .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fransdev:
Ok so that can be the reason that the apps don't show up on my phone. The other strange thing is that my apps on the online Android Market are gone now as well. When I logged in yesterday the list was correct but now it looks corrupted, my apps are gone and I see apps I didn't downloaded. No idea how to solve that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Apps Android market you logged in and registered phone with product code xxxx .

You have now changed the product code so the market has no apps for you as its an unknown phone not the one you registered with .Re download each item .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] San22_:
I have the same problem, atleast I think.

When I download apps form the android marked and install them on my phone everything works perfect, but if I reboot my phone/ turn it off etc, I loose all my installed apps, then Im just left with the ones that came with the phone.

This happens everytime I turn it off, or if my phone runs out of battery and dies. Shouldnt be like this, enyone know why or what could be causing this problem?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Is it my phone or software?

2 roms and 1week into either my auto rotate dont work. Only way I know to fix is new rom or reflash old.

Contunium / Fusion are the last two I have used. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks..
[Captivate General] little8020:
So did you auto rotate work when you first installed the rom?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Yes. And will work for about a week or less with new flash. So far I've flashed about 15 roms and this just started on the last two. I may go back to stock and see if it helps but stock sucks.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
I currently don't have it installed but I think sgstools has a option to test the vertical and horizontal calibration of the phone.

But what your saying that it works for about a week then just stops sounds like a issue with the rom's not the phone.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Thanks.. will try that... and yes seems like rom related. Even in games it wont work for steering and stuff.

The browser keeps poping up a message to install flash but then going to market and trying to install 10.2 results in a unsuccessful download, tried rebooting?

Tried other market apps dl fails,but browser and email is fine?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waqas.sonic:
what happens when you try to install it ? does your market force close ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicTab:
A warning icon next to the clock says download unsuccessful try again?

Does market need location data on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waqas.sonic:
I dont think it has anything to do with location data, i had a force close issue once but that was about it nothing more, do a restart, check in the settings under manage application of any ndication of a flash app maybe it got corrupted or something

[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Okay I've heard dlna here and there. Whatbdo I have to do to access it? Bluetooth? Or what? In running miui right now and have no idea how to do it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
DLNA is a standard that ensures different devices can communicate with each other in order to stream media. Devices include servers, ie Windows computer, and players, such as a blue ray player, xbox,etc. Typically it is used over WiFi or Ethernet connections.

Examples of how it works include streaming music or movies from your device to your tv, or using your phone to control your computer to stream media to your phone, tv, or another computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Okay how do I watch my movies on my inspire on my television?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The Connected Media app, and a receiver for the signal like ps3, xbox 360, or any other dlna certified device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Thank ya I noticed I have to have wifi on
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
I currently have a samsung C6500 bluray player, this is a DLNA certified player attached to an old plasma, for streaming videos from my phone to bluray player I use iMedia Share app, phone shows up as a connected device in the bluray player menu and I can then select any audio/video/picture file to listen/view.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
But do u have to have wifi on? Or can u use data
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
You need to use WiFi so the devices can communicate over your network.

Just tested and it works amazingly well. I'm using a Nexus One which doesn't have a a front facing camera and it still works. The other side sees out my back camera and voice transmits just fine. I'm using CM7.

Anyone else try this out?

Works very well.
[Android Apps and Games] Stuart.upton666:
Downloading now, I'll report back in a few.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
The only thing that's weird is that when you log in, if you have no one to video chat with, your contact list is just white and empty. It does NOT show all your normal contacts; only video-enabled contacts. This was very confusing until I figured it out. So make sure you have someone in your contact list that can accept video calls. Screenshot below:
[Android Apps and Games] jmholly:
I tested this on my MyTouch 4g running a rooted stock rom. It works great with one exception it only uses the back camera. I tried to switch it to the forward facing camera but it only showed "back camera" or "no camera" as my 2 options. would be great if it recognized the front camera.
[Android Apps and Games] jmholly:
Here is the screenshot i forgot to attach
[Android Apps and Games] DroidJoe:
Okay, gave it a shot on the OG Droid. It actually worked, both voice and back camera video. It's 17mb with no SD support so I had to dump it right after I tested it. Unless they can trim it down, not practical on an older phone with less than 512 app Ram. Still, Gtalk video on 2.2 is an exceptional feat, so good job Dev team (Skymobius).
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Just tested on my GF's MyTouch 4G (running CM7). Both to my PC and to my Nexus One (via Vtok) worked great. Of course, no front facing camera on my Nexus One ( :( ) but still, very awesome app for integrating with Google Chat and not having to deal with any of this 2.3.4 funny business. (Seriously, what is that requirement for? If a 3rd party app developer can do it, why does Google need an entire Android system update?)

And it's free!

(BTW, to alleviate the space issue, get CM7 and force it to SD card :cool:)
[Android Apps and Games] phorkz:
works on my i9000 running a jvb rooted rom. but the video is always sideways using the ffc. the back camera works well. the quality of the feed is pretty good, but can be laggy. thanks for the tip
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I'm curious to see if anyone is having problems with their Thunderbolt vibrating while typing, moving widgets, incoming calls or lowering their volume to vibrate.

While typing, moving widgets, using the soft keys at the bottom of the phone or lowering my volume to vibrate I notice that randomly my vibration will cease to work. And by not work I mean absolutely no vibration, even when I receive a call. Then out of no where it will start to work again, of course randomly as well.

I know it's definitely not a rom issue nor kernel as it has happened to me on multiple roms, even my current unrooted stock setup. Do you guys think its a defect with the phone? I hope not because I'm not to keen on getting a "like new refurb" after only having my Tbolt for just about 30 days...
[Thunderbolt General] saraheba:
I'm noticing the same thing. I also experience random ringtone and volume changes. Earlier today could barely hear text notification even with volume all the way up. Working fine now. Mine is stock.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
If it continues to do that after a factory reset, then most likely you have a hardware problem. Assuming you two are both stock.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I spoke to tech support and a rep at the store (>.< I know) and they agreed to replace my phone. Rooted and unrooted I had the problem so odds are pretty good that it is a hardware issue.

@saraheba I'd unroot and return to stock and see if the problem persists. If so then you may be in the same boat of having a defective phone.
[Thunderbolt General] cekle:
Make sure you don't have automatic power management enabled. It will disable vibration when you get a low battery.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Checked and unfortunately wasn't the cause. Thanks for the advice.
[Thunderbolt General] saraheba:
I spoke too soon anyway lol. Now my text notification has changed itself to vibrate only even with all volumes maxed. Hoping itll clear up on its own.
[LG Optimus 2x] Brmm_:
This is driving me nuts. My o2x P990 is probably more out of service then its actually on it.

When I'm walking around in the city or just sitting at home there are numerous of moments that I just can't make calls or send texts.

Even when I'm connected, sometimes I have to type my messages over and over again three times till its send successfully. Sometimes all my contacts and messages are gone, the whole thing freezes up for a second and I only see their telephone numbers anymore.

I never had this problem before with my other phones, I had an old nokia for years and the bars were always full of connectivity.

Its been out of service for an hour now, only thing that helps it to reboot it, come on..

I live in Belgium and I'm using Mobistar anyone else having these problems?

No rom, nothing flashed, just rooted out of curiosity but not using any benefits of it.
[LG Optimus 2x] javierito24:
simply type *#*#4636#*#*

then select phone info

and then scroll to prefered network or something else and touch into wcdma preferred

and your phone will get signal everywhere.

sorry for my bad english,
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
That's not true. If there is no WCDMA coverage, there is NO signal.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
And that's not true. If there is no WCDMA, it will use GSM.
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
wcdma preferred = locked to use wcdma?
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Preferred doesn't mean locked.....
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
Ok. Please enlighten me.

We have normal settings like:

* Preferred network mode GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) In practice, WCDMA is preferred

* WCDMA only

* GSM only

So this must be macig, *#*#4636#*#* , please try it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Preferred mean it will try and use WCDMA where possible, but if it's not possible, it will drop to GSM.
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
Where do you find WCDMA preferred extra setting (not AUTO)?

I am mainly referring to post #2. Only in AUTO mode fallback to GSM is supported and vice versa.
[LG Optimus 2x] Brmm_:
Its already on WCMDA preferred, thats good right?
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
Where did you find that setting? Or do you mean WCDMA only?
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
If its been having consistently bad reception from day 1, it could be a case of a bad radio hardware. In which case, a warranty swap should easily remedy the situation.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's the first option in the list on the testing menu.

Ps. GSM Auto (PRL) is often a good bet. That's what I use.
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
Indeed. And cross checking SIM card on other phone/and another SIM card on O2.
[LG Optimus 2x] venzel:
I got the same problem.

But it only occurred after i installed CM7 and after this I flashed back to stock.. Now i can't get any reception at all?
[LG Optimus 2x] vwfreak2001:
Can you explain the difference between GSM Auto (PRL) and WCDMA preferred?

I also have no service very often. My other phones (same SIM card) get 3G or even HSDPA (at least EDGE) access but the LG says no servoice. It's very annoying.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
WCDMA the phone is always on the lookout for a 3G signal, PRL means the phone gets a list from the carrier and uses 2G/3G based on it. Should provide better battery life.
[LG Optimus 2x] ludroid:
Always on,

central Europe, SK, CZ, H, A , PL - everywhere always on = home net + several roaming ones.

May be it is about time to check area of usage with your provider.

I can't download Apps from the Market on ANY android build, after reseting DarkStone's SuperRam Build.

In "MY APPS", the supposedly downloaded apps appear as "FREE" and if i try click them it tells me to download them when it already started to Download, but never finished.

Reflash, you mean, format SD and copy again? I'm not using dual boot. I run it from WINMO.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reijkelhof:
I never got the market to reliably work on DarkStone's SuperRam Build.

Same with 'Gtalk verification failed'.

I am now on Americandroid and have no problems.

The difference though, between the time I set up Darkstone and Americandroid, is that on the darkstone install I typed my full gmail addy (including @gmail.com), and on the Americandroid install, I only typed the google mail username part and let android fill in the @gmail by itself (by moving the cursor to the password field)

No idea if that made the difference to make it work though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi all,

I just got my Nexus S and am wondering... Is there something like the Samsung Task Manager available for the Nexus S?

I am so used to being able to kill programs on the fly with my SGS, etc to save RAM and such but this seems to be missing on the Nexus S.

If there is nothing like this for the Nexus S then can someone tell me how I clean programs on the fly, etc?

Thanks,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
Killing Apps is in general not necessary with Android, the system manages RAM just fine, but if you insist, you can use the built in manager to stop running background services and/or install ES Task Manager from Market to kill opened Apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaithCry:
You really don't need a task manager for 2.3, its quite good at internal management for apps. Its actually more harmful to use a task killer for 2.3 in terms of battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanlehh:
read from almost everywhere that the current os will do it's job in managing the tasks for you instead. No need for a dedicated task killer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Thank you all for your replies on this.

I am not looking for an app like "advanced task killer" or anything like that... I am looking for something like the stock task manager like my SGS has.

If it is not needed for GB then I won't really worry about it but how can I make sure that my apps are closed properly and no longer running or using data without it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Bump... :) Anyone else have any feed back / info on this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
EDIT

posted in wrong thread...

Anyway, from what i've read its just not necessary for a task killer, i would not worry about it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
Check out this thread guys. From what I understand it optimizes androids built in memory manager to your liking. Also it comes with a task manager which shows all running Apps in the background. It's not available on the android market and is only downloadable through the op's thread. Check it out. It's pretty useful and effective.

at one point i was able to get sms text messages with airplane mode on and it would wake up the network when i received texts, but now its not working....it was nice when it did cause i could save battery drain but still get sms messages...can someone shed any light for me?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Theonew:
I don't see how you could possibly receive an sms with airplane mode on. Once it is enabled, your phone's radio is disabled causing no communication to the device. Maybe your device sort of malfunctioned when it used to. Anyways if what you're saying is true then I have to ask: did you update/downgrade your radio before it stopped working how you want it to? If so, what radio version did you have? and you can downgrade/update back to that radio version. Hope this helps.:)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dirtylarry10:
Yeah...pretty weird...I haven't done anything with the radio....I know it worked because I would enable airplane mode at work...and after receiving a text the airplane mode icon would enable...this made my battery last for hours and hours...now though with it not working like it was and having to leave airplane mode off ...the battery drains really fast.

Hi,

I have a 16GB Micro SD card that I want to create a 1GB exts partition on.

I have the free versions of Paragon and Acronis, but it would seem I need the full version to create a partition on an SD card?

I therefore got minitools partition manager and I was able to create a partition, but it is unallocated and it's status is NONE.

The FAT32 partition is Primary and the unallocated one is logical.

If I click on this partition almost everything is grayed out so I cannot format to ext2.

Please help.

I am running this on a cheap card reader from ebay on Windows XP.
[General Questions and Answers] PoshCat1:
Ext2 obviously :o

If it helps the card has a 4 on it, so does that mean it's class 4?
[General Questions and Answers] PoshCat1:
I think I'm a bit dumb !!!

I'd resized the partition only, so it was simply unallocated.

Are there any free partition software downloads that allow me to create a partition please?
