[Galaxy S II General] Abra_Cadabra:
Ive ordered several devices including 2 in the past six months from the UK to Dubai and all have made it here with no special instructions to sellers or couriers. YMMV.

My SGS2 from Clove is on the way via DHL and I can update once it arrives.
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
That's promising...... How much did they charge you for currency conversion ? And which credit card did you use to make purchase ??? How accurate they are in terms of delivery dates which they claim it to be delivered ??? How much did you pay for ur sgs2 from clove ?
[Galaxy S II General] Abra_Cadabra:
Sorry.. been too busy playing with my SGSII to check back :p

1) Currency Conversion is by your Credit Card issuer and not by the seller. Clove charges in £, gets converted to AED by the bank here.

2) Used a Visa card.

3) Very accurate.

4) £470 (440 for device, 30 for delivery via DHL) - no VAT was charged. However the UAE does charge tax on import which came to approximately AED 230 (£38) if I remember correctly - unfortunately can't find my receipt right now.

Others have pointed out that other vendors may have it slightly cheaper and may even deliver slightly faster but my past experiences with Clove have been very good particularly with their responsiveness by e-mail / phone. Thats important to me particularly if I later have to deal with any warranty issues.

Also note as I mentioned above I gave no special instructions to Clove or DHL and did not run into any problems.

Goodluck.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I am a regular user of the MyYearbook site and mobile app (social networking, a bit like Facebook).

I also use to Adfree Android to get block ads, which worked pretty well until a while ago.

On the latest MYB app update (and the previous one actually) they changed the settings or perhaps the ad provider, and now Adfree shows a massive full-screen "Webpage not available" message at the top of my chatter (like FB feed). This is in stark contrast to the small unobtrusive white box which is the way it used to look.

No problem I thought, I'll just go back to my backup of the old version. But now this old version of the app nags me to update every time I use it - very annoying!

I know this is probably an obscure problem, and not a whole lot of people use MYB so it's possible no-one else here has experienced the problem. But can anyone suggest a fix? Either for the nagging in the old app, or the big full-screen "Webpage not available" message when I use the new app?

I just bought a HTC T-Mobile G2 and it came with Cyaogenmod 7 installed and I want to go back to the stock version of the phone because I am unable to use swype with this software. So my question is how can i uninstall cyaogenmod 7 and go back to running the original. Another issue to take into consideration is I have a mac and have no access to a pc.

Another thing is there any difference in running Cyaogenmod 7 and the stock version? like in performance :(

If he installs one of those he risks not being able to root his phone or any other plethora of problems. He needs to be directed to regular zip files that can be flashed and not upgrade stuff that does not need touched and set booby traps all over the place that he may never be able to undo. Flashing ruu's is generally not a great idea unless you dont think your EVER going to want to flash or root again. ESPECIALLY the newer ones...

I am wanting to replace my SD card in my phone for a 16GB.. It seems the best cards out there are the Class 6. A LOT of the class 10's I can find get horrible reviews stating the perform really badly. I am looking for some recommendations on what to get.

The card must be a good performer for apps2SD, and be at least 16GB.

Much appreciated for your feedback.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:

[Android Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Hi all !

More than 10 years ago, I was playing Dune on my compter ! Now, I tried to "emulate" it on my Windows 7 64 bits, but it's crashing so I looked around to make it work for Android, and I succeed on my HTC Desire HD (WVGA Device). Should work for all other WVGA devices, dunno for others !

In more, as it's an abandonware, it's free.

How to ? Step by step :

1. Download and install this : http://code.google.com/p/adosbox/downloads/detail?name=aDOSBox-0.2-beta.apk

2. Get the game for free HERE* : http://www.bestoldgames.net/eng/old-games/dune.php

3. Extract the folder "dune" from the zip to the root of sdcard. Unplug your mobile from your computer

4. Launcher aDOSbox downloaded in step1 and then :

- Make Menu to get keyboard

- Type cd dune and do enter or hit the square with one inside

- Type dune and do enter or hit the square with one inside

- Game launched !

*I did not tried with the ENGLISH version but with the FRENCH VERSION HERE, but normally it's the same ;)

Tips in game

- Personnaly, I only use the pad from the emulator + the square with the number 1 inside which is equal to "normal clic" with the mouse

- To save/load game :

> Make "SEE DUNE MAP"

> On the left down corner, go to yellow "ball"

> There, you have Menu with "Save/Load Game", 2 slots available ;)

- You can also save when you are in front of the mirror ;)

Has anybody tried any of the other games running on DosBox?
[Android Apps and Games] hornblowerracing:
At a risk of looking even more noobish, I can't seem to get a keyboard to appear when I start up aDos Box?

The keyboard is active when I shut down the app, but not when I'm in it?

I'm trying this on a HTC Desire btw.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I'm having the same trouble. when i quit the app the keyboard is displayed on the home screen. its as if the keyboard can't be displayed in front of dosbox

Glad it's not just me then.

Any suggestions guys?
[Android Apps and Games] hornblowerracing:
Anybody? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Yop !

In aDOSbox, to make the keyboard appears, simply press Menu (maybe several times). Did you tried to do that?

In the game "Dune", you never need the keyboard ;)

Keep me informed,

Zepiii
[Android Apps and Games] hornblowerracing:
Yeah, I tried that but no keyboard appears. However, it is up when I exit ADosBox??

I can get the C:\ prompt, but can't type anything.

Did you took the v0.2 beta of aDOSbox?

If yes, maybe you should try the v0.1 (WVGA) : http://code.google.com/p/adosbox/downloads/list

Yeah, I tried the latest version.

Have also tried the v0.1 and exactly the same problem.

How to get sound

For thise of you not getting soound ive found out that instead of using dune.bat to enter game there is another bat file comm.bat using that one i get sound tested on galaxy s2
[Android Apps and Games] A51Abductee:
I managed to finally get sound on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

1. Install everything as shown by Sepiii (THANKS!!!) - I used aDOSBox 0.2.5

2. In the aDOS box, run "INSTALL.EXE"

3. In this installation program, select "Change the hardware configuration"

4. When prompted for Y/N, type "N"

5. Select "Sound" then select "Sound Blaster (music + sounds)

6. When prompted for Y/N, type "Y" then press any key to exit

7. Back in the aDOS box, run "comm.bat" [instead of running dune.bat] (THANKS chinchulin!)

8. Enjoy

Basically you need to run install.exe and reselect sound blaster for it to stick and to generate the comm.bat file. The comm.bat file won't show up until you run install.exe at least once and specify Sound Blaster.

This was one of my favorite games as a child. I particularly loved the music, which was quite amazing for its time. There was a music CD produced (Stephane Picq), and it was very rare. So happy to be able to hear these tunes again!
[Android Apps and Games] cypresstwist:

Hi guys, I'm sorry if I'm a little slow on this. But how exactly does voodoo sound control work? I'm running the genocide kernel with module v7 and I also have the Voodoo Plus app which contains v8. How do I benefit the most from voodoo, what settings do I adjust etc...?

When the kernel is installed is the stock produced sound automatically enhanced because of the intergrated module v7?

Thanks in advance for any responses!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
I force the volume into analog mode and put it at 0 dbm. It's AWESOME!!!!

I keep the mic input as default (not NEW default) original default, and the rest the way it already was. Sounds great in my car.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niv3d:
Ok, so before I force the volume into analog mode I need to max out the volume on the stock (android system) player correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
Nah, it'll by default set that to medium and alter the sound system to analog. Give it a try and you'll notice it's much nicer on 0 dbm.

[Droid X General] ejeetguy:
So this is what happened...

I was helping my buddy install a Rom on his Droid X, and after wiping everything and installing the rom, i rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the "M" screen.

So i figured i would go into recovery and either restore a back-uped session or just wipe everything and reboot again.

But in recovery, he doesnt have an option to restore sessions or anything. and when i try to wipe data and clear cache partitions, he still gets stuck at the "M" screen when i reboot.

Also, in recovery, it gives me a message that says,

"E:cant open /cache/recovery/command"

and after googling this and looking for solutions, none have helped. It says try pulling battery for 5 minutes, or deleting the "update.zip" file (which i cant because i cant boot the phone up), and even pulling the SD card (which doesnt make sense, but nonetheless didnt work anyway).

Any help would be appreciated. I feel real bad for putting his phone on a soft brick haha so please help a brotha out.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] snwagner:
What ROM? What was the Android version before hand? At this point it's not going to matter, you're going to need to SBF (factory restore). Check google for guides, or look @ the site in my signature.
[Droid X General] baretoes:
Yeah, seems from you described you got your hands on a bad file; maybe the file didn't get downloaded completely. In any case, your best bet is to sbf your phone (restoring to stock using software). There is a ton of info on that, do you shouldn't have a problem on how to do that. If you need help or direction, please let us know.
[Droid X General] rudeguy:
you have encountered my one gripe about my X. You can't get to recovery if you get stuck in a boot loop.

Your only option is to sbf back to stock and go again. I just had this happen today while I was at work. I decided I want to run Apex 2.0 alpha 3 and messed up. I was stuck at work all day without my toy.

I've tried MyNet, and it finds my other PC's and the shared media. (Using Win 7 x64 and one homegroup). But in MyNet it fails to load any video I try to play.

Is there an app, maybe one I can install on the host PC, that will run in the background and transcode the video files to the proper resolution for the TF101? Something like PlayOn? Don't want to use MyCloud software because I don't need/want complete control of the host PC.

Maybe this can done through a network share instead, but was interested to hear what others have been using. Especially if there's a way to get MyNet to work.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTallon4:
