Actually, Kadin is essentially correct. Embedded MMC (eMMC) is not a raw flash memory chip. It's is a flash chip with built-in controller that interfaces to its host using the standard MMC Plus interface. Replace "MMC Plus interface" with the very similar "SD interface," package it a little differently, and you have an SD card.

That said, an eMMC device very well could have controller and/or organization optimizations that make it better at hosting an operating system than most SD cards.
[Nook Color General] swaaye:
The EMMC is very slow unfortunately. I've seen a write speed of only 2mb/s. That's worse than most SD cards. Class 2 level.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Would I be better running everything off a SD card?

Hello everyone,

I have, as I think you have as well, watched Google I/O with large interest. One announcement was that Android now will be able to act as a USB-host, connecting everything from memory sticks to keyboards and mice.

This is really something I would like and use a lot, but do you people think that our Tattoo can handle this? First of all there is the hardware, is our phones' chips sufficient? And last, I haven't heard of any talk if it requires Android 3.1 or not,( but since I am not good in programming (yet)) do you think it possible for Tattoo?

I think it was implanted in 2.3.4 but not sure if its in the Cyanogenmod or any other ROM.Maybe it requires a newer kernel.

Hello

My friend got his Galaxy S2 today, but the vibration is dead, vibration settings is enabled and haptic feedback, but nothing works, tried wipe the device but still no vibration...

So it seems that it have to be sent back to repair... or do you guys know anything he can do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Factory reset is about all .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilg@mesh:
I've done it 5 times, if you mean factory data reset via the settings.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmatharu12:
Your not the only one. My work colleague also received a Galaxy S II yesterday with no vibration working - he doesn't like to mess about, he sent it straight back. I'm starting to get really disappointed with Samsung, just like their TVs, constant defective units...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braap:
I have the same problem. Tried factory reset and installed new FW, but still nothing....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stian230:
My opinion:

Sounds like hardware . And the phone I so new ,returning it is the only option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LxFx:
I have the same issue. Just noticed that i my phone did not vibrate on an incomming message and could nog get it to work through the settings panel either. It's very unexpected. I didn't do anything with it recently and I did not drop it either...

Going to try a reset, let's hope this works! :-/

Just love the phone so i would hate to return it and miss it a few days!

Edit 1: Just went into Test mode (*#0*#) and the vibration test did not work here either.

Edit 2: Factory Reset (within the phone) did not fix it either, so now I'm sending it in for repairs. Let's hope I won't have to miss it for too long... :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LxFx:
Eureka, suddenly i noticed that my phone's vibration ability was back when walking to a shop with my headphones in. It seems like the headphone jack somehow influences things. Maybe a bad connection between these components?

Maybe you should try this out to confirm this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillspooky:
Iam also having same issue..got my s2 a month back...have u guys got any ideas to fix dis bug....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Make sure it's a hardware problem after testing the vibration by dialing *#0*# and test the Vibration tool.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobhc:
Mine's just done the same this morning. Second time now I've had to take it back. *sighs*
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobhc:
Got it repaired at Carphone Warehouse, said they replaced the screen, which kinda perplexes me as I thought most phones had the vibrate motor near the camera?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrVa:
I've been using my Galaxy S2 lately as music player and noticed that the vibration on my phone doesn't always work (not on messages, phone calls or haptic feedback), even though I have the setting to "always".

I've browsed around online and noticed that other people have the same issue. Most wind up sending their phones back to the shop for repairs, but I fear it is just a bug and not a hardware issue.

So instead I play around with it and just before I frustrated want to send it into the shop, I think I found out how to "work around" this problem.

So the problem arises sometimes after plugging or unplugging head phones into the phone. What you need to do is:

- go to "settings"

- go to "sound"

- play around with the vibration settings (and the order is of importance, otherwise it doesn't work)

* set vibration to "only in silent mode"

* set vibration to "never"

* set vibration to "always"

On the last selection you will feel already that vibration is 'back' (if you use haptic feedback).

Sure, it works, but it is seriously annoying. I do hope Samsung quickly sends a patch/update to fix this bug!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcavni:
Vibration died on my phone also. The trick above does not work for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buffalee:
It´s no bug, it´s hardware related.

If you move headphone plug gently sideways, it´s starts to work.

I think it´s bad contact or defective part.

I bought used phone and noticed it when i was testing phone.

I had to return it.. (didn´t , instead got it cheap..)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buffalee:
I opened up that phone that i got cheap.

I can now confirm that in my case there where flat cable broken on vibration motor.

Ordered new one on ebay.

In my case this phone has couple dents on chrome.

I think that voids warranty.

But look at the bright side.

I can fix it and phone was 170€ which is pretty cheap for me.

I can get more for my sgs1.

Sgs2 is very easy to open, if you compare to iphone 3gs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dany123i:
[old thread, i know, but it's exactly as my problem]

The vibration doesn't work for a few days now, it only works when i plug the headphone jack just about when it makes the click sound, if i unplug it or plug it completely the vibration stops working (tested via *#0*#).

So, how did you guys fix this? Seems like a hardware problem but could be software too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave83:
I have the same problem and also in my case is a problem with the headphones connector.

Now I wonder: but it is a defect in GS2 all or only some?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unk-01:
Had the same problem.

Just put my headphones in then while pulling out headphones jack switched silent mode on/off and it seems to fix problem. Maybe the problem is about shorting some contacts on headphones jack (in my case vibration turns off while headphones in) because of condensate which occurs while you carrying it in your pocket or maybe as Buffalee said its about broken flat cable who knows :).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayshah95:
I would advise you not to do anything but send it back, considering it is new this is definitely a fault on their side, either software or hardware (most likely hardware). I know that this has happened to a few phones so you are not alone, but I would recommend just sending the phone back and don't mess with it so they don't accuse you of anything :p

Let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torrin66:
Holy crap dude, I was just getting ready to return to stock and try to get a repair. This worked perfectly!

A belated thanks to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SauronK:
I tried your solution, but it didn't work for me while I have to but pull the jack a bit to the left in order to let the phone vibrate. But your idea got me thinking, what if vibration and then pulling the jack out (with or without pulling to one side) fixes the problem. So with the *#0*# function I put the phone in constant vibrate while the jack-plug is inserted. When you have to pull to make the phone vibrate, do so. While the phone is vibrating pull the jack out (if you pulled, don't release but just pull out). If everything is okay, this should fix the problem (atleast it worked for me).

The problem returns when you but on the headphones and then pull out the jack again. So to fix just run trough my fix again. I'm not certain if this is hardware or software related (I'm running ICS beta on mu S2). But at least I have my vibration back. Maybe I'll be looking for an Bluetooth headset now, so i don't lose vibration all the time (I listen to music allot trough my phone).

what i used for ICS

see if the following apps work, they helped me in wanamlite ICS which i recieved no vibration from the system for calls or texts etc even though it was on:

contacts vibrate

smart vibrator (ignore the name)

missed message flasher (if you want reminders)

if these dont work (without your headphones plugged in) i would see it as a fault!

samsung galaxy s2 no vibration SOLUTION

this is just a typical hardware issues with the s2. the vibration motor is mounted next to the headphone jack so heres what you need to do:

1: insert a cable into the headphone jack

2:lightly press down and move the cable left (while still in the jack)

3: while still holding it to the left pull out the cable.

hope this helps!
[Desire HD General] lvnatic:
I'm asking here because I really like how the DHD looks and it's specs, but the battery capacity is a big disappointment and the screen is lcd, not even slcd and I heard it has poor colors. What can you guys comment about that, how bad is the battery on this thing? Can it last at least half a day with pretty intensive usage (internet, gaming, live wallpaper, movies)?

My other option is the Nexus S, but no Sense UI will be kinda hard to get used to since I'm coming from a Desire. Also, is there any significant difference between their hardware, how better is the nexus s at gaming for example?
[Desire HD General] lvnatic:
Well, how do you get along with the battery? Is it any better then HTC Desire? I assume there are some people who moved on from Desire to DHD.
[Desire HD General] gerryjoson:
Well, your in the DHD section, so I suspect the answers will be a forgone conclusion as to what you should buy.

My decision came down to these two as well, I chose the DHD for the bigger screen, better build quality, and better camera, Sense played no part in the decision, I would have preferred standard Android on a developer device over Sense, but I can put a vanilla rom on it, I'm not a fan of plastic, and I need as big a screen as practically possible since everything has gone capacitive, plus the Nexis S is about the same size, just with more bezel and less screen area.

Battery life seems fine to me, although the nexus S is said to be much better, which would stand to reason as it has a higher capacity battery.

I don't regret my choice, YMMV, considering how many seem to be around, you don't hear too many complaints about the DHD
[Desire HD General] pigfacesoup:
I found that after flashing a custom ROM (Android Revolution) that my battery life has been considerably longer.

I played with a friend's Nexus S the other day and I have to agree with lvantic about the build quality - the DHD feels much more solid and therefore much more awesome.
[Desire HD General] lambomanx1:
Firstly, the Nexus S, and all AMOLEDs, are the ones that have poor colours,

not

the LCDs. AMOLEDs are massively oversaturated, hence the contrast and vibrance. When it comes to colour accuracy, the DHD display is very, very good, one of the better ones out there. It's an SLCD; however it's all just a name, they are all no different to a standard LCD.

As for battery life, my phone has to last an hour and a bit of YouTube and general surfing in the morning, about 30 texts and surfing throughout the day, and an hour and a bit of phone calls on be way back, and i usually have about 30% left. So the battery life isn't brilliant, however, if you can get it on a charger at the end of the day, you won't have any problems, and it is enough. Half a day won't be a problem.

The Nexus S is less powerful; it is the same hardware as the Galaxy S. However, the difference isn't monumental. For gaming, any of them will be gast enough, Android games aren't that demanding yet.

However, after all this...I think you'd be better off just keeping your Desire, as in day to day use, it is just as fast.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
The Desire HD has regular TFT-LCD.. not S-LCD. There are differences. S-LCD has slightly more saturated and brighter colours. Just google Desire HD and Desire Z.. look at the comparison pictures.. big difference.

With that said.. OP i dont think you should worry at all about the Desire HD's screen. It has to be one of the best TFT-LCD's out there. Newer firmware updates have improved the colours believe it or not.
[Desire HD General] maarten00:
Don't get either one and get the Sensation which is coming in a month, assuming that your country will also get it.
[Desire HD General] nobnut:
You are asking the wrong question. You should be asking 'HTC Sensation/Pyramid or Samsung Galaxy S2'. Both the Nexus S and the Desire HD have been overtaken by newer (and much better) models - when the Sensation comes out.

I have a DHD, a Nexus S and a Galaxy S2. I will be getting a Sensation but just because I like Sense. There is no comparison between the GalaxyS2 and the DHD. They are miles apart... with the DHD being the inferior phone.
[Desire HD General] HellRa1SeR:
+1 to that. The OP should look for newer phones if he wants to upgrade.
[Desire HD General] Robert A:
Dhd have SLCD. First desires come with TFT and second charge (octomber I think) comes with SLCD, So from that time all htc have slcd

In comparation with amoled screen LIVE, not youtube, the DHD screen it's way better.

Battery last a day with no problem,

Anyway the best htc phone until pyramid appears...
[Desire HD General] lambomanx1:
My mistake; my view on it is that they are all just marketing names, hence the confusion. They are different units but the technology is the same.

However, I completely disagree that the OP is asking the wrong questions. The DHD is a great buy at a good price, if you don't go on a contract. Sure, the new phones are more powerful, but at a price. And in reality, you are extremely unlikely to utilise this power. In single core performance, the new phones and the older single cores have very similar performance.

Basically, if you want to save, a DHD is a great choice, probably more so than a Nexus S. If you are willing to part with more cash, a dual core phone is a good buy, however the chances are you won't utilise the capabilities they can bring.

[Desire HD General] lvnatic:
Too friggin expensive! I'd rather get an iphone 4 with that money.

Well, atm I am oscillating between refurbished phones with warranty and in good condition, still at nexus and dhd, the cheapest I'll find will be bought.
[Desire HD General] nkcr:
I like DHD more ..:D
[Desire HD General] gheddo61:
I would go for dhd, there are a lot of possibilities to get better battery life

Sry for my bad english
[Desire HD General] 0semaj0:
I still have my HTC Desire, both with CM based mods, and the battery life is about the same, but as standard units, the Desire HD battery felt longer?, HTC did mention how the Desire HD had smaller battery capacity compared to Desire because the CPU is more efficient.
[Desire HD General] 0semaj0:
Oh...sorry, the main point is...get the HTC Desire HD over the Nexus S.

Nexus S is not that much cheaper, smaller screen, less RAM, no significant CPU speed increase, camera still lacking, basically a Galaxy S that looks like HTC Magic, cannot get anymore plastic feel on it.

HTC Desire HD is about the same price, bigger screen, larger RAM, same level of CPU speed, camera is better, nice quality feel, built better with metal construction.

so yea...thats why I got the Desire HD and all...thats coming from a perspective bloody bias HTC whore. Myself.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
The only advantage of the NS over the DHD is Google support. You'll get official updates before others. In terms of build quality, specs, screen size, Sense (if that's your thing), screen quality (LCDs are better than AMOLEDs in every aspect but the black) the DHD is supperior. About the dual cores - they will live up to their money after there is an OS that is optimized for them and apps that utilize their potential. Untill then the fast single cores are good enough considering the price difference.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
For me one main dealbreaker and why I went for HTC DHD was that Nexus S does not support micro-sd cards and the memory will be limited there.
[Desire HD General] Azwraith7788:
I found that after flashing a custom ROM (Android Revolution) that my battery life has been considerably longer. Battery last a day with no problem.
[Desire HD General] kedai:
My take: if it's between dhd and nexus s, I'd go with dhd. Sd card supportis a must. Plus dhd is really customizable. Between sensation and s2, I'd go for s2 for it's unlocked bootloader. If I got the money:p
[Milestone 2 General] JackStoreytime:
Would it be possible to get the Gingerbread which was leaked from the droid2 or droid X ported to the MS2? It looks a huge amount better than the current blur. I really like the new look of it and at least it is gingerbread. Just wondering. Cheers.

No, the leaked ROMs have CDMA kernels and cannot easily be ported to GSM devices...That's it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blkninja12:
So I've dragged and dropped music onto my Epic. I put it in the Media folder of my SD Card. My epic will play all music, expect for songs from a single artist. It baffles me! There's nothing that separates it from the rest of my music. Same format (both m4a and mp3), it plays both formats for every other artist, Protected or not, except for this single one. Even more baffling, my Epic will randomly decide to not recognize ANY music, both mp3 AND m4a. I don't understand it :/ I won't notice it until I see that my phone is ringing but no ringtone, b/c I have Windowlicker as my ringtone:D. So on multiple occasions, I would go to my music player and it would literally go through every single song and display that disappointing "File not supported" message. I reboot my phone and it's fine again, with the exception of that one artist. Anyone got a fix for this or at the very least tell me why this is happening? I'm running my Epic on SRF 1.1.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] quordandis:
So, I freaked out too because I had a desktop shortcut that no longer worked. I didn't even think to look in the app drawer, so I found a thread which posted the original 3.0 apk and adb pushed it to /system/app and then chmod'ed it to 644. It worked just fine, but then I noticed that I had 2 Movie Studio icons in my app drawer. So I went into adb shell in /system/app and noticed two files: VideoEditor.apk (which I installed from the download on the thread) and VideoEditorGoogle.apk.

So, in summary, I rm VideoEditor.apk from the /system/app directory and attached the VideoEditorGoogle.apk to the original thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13890443&postcount=11

So, if you're still missing the Movie Studio, feel free to adb push this into /system/app and make sure to chmod 644 /system/app/VideoEditorGoogle.apk
