[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onyoursix:
So I recently reformatted my computer and returned my phone back to stock. I now cannot ADB to it, I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

I've downloaded and installed the Java JDK, Android SDK, Samsung Drivers (32bit and 64bit) also tried drivers directly from Samsungs site.

Under device manager it shows they are installed correctly, my phone is in debugging mode as well. I don't have anything in my device manager that shows I'm missing a driver for any device.

One thing I have noticed... is in device manager I seem to remember seeing an "ADB..... something" or another.... I don't show that, but I do see my device listed, just not ADB in front of it.

Another odd thing is when I try to mount my SD card, windows doesn't pop up with a removable disk drive.

I'm going crazy... any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
When you say mount your SD card, I assume you mean from within your phone? In which case, your phone is not recognizing properly, and your SD card won't mount when the phone is connected by usb, correct?

Well, you claim that the software is set up properly on the computer and the phone so it should be ready to interface... Here's a few suggestions I can give from this point:

1. Try all your computer's usb ports

2. Uninstall and reinstall all Samsung software and Device Manager Drivers

3. Try a new usb cable

4. Try a different computer (to determine if the problem lies within the phone)

4-1. If a different computer has no luck, boot into download mode (1 + power) and try reflashing your phone if possible

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcjpth:
speaking of MP4 H.264 play in Gtablet...I suspect the 512MB RAM is not enough juice so 1080 can't play smooth (choppy) in the device.

I convert most of my movies to 720x480 MP4 H.264 and using hardware encoder to (QQPlayer, VPlayer) play and very smooth play but 1080...very very choppy, doesn't matter MOV, MP4, MPEG4, MPEG2..etc

And Yes, if the 1080 movie length is only 10 or 15s (4MB or 8MB), it will looks good (so you see the marketers show the device capable for 1080)...but in the reality, 1080 movie with 7 min (~1.2GB) plays like CRAP :) LOL...

I wonder how smooth they can be played in Asus Transformer tablet - but I ended my own saga here by staying with 720x480 MP4 H.264 format - good enough for my kids watching 10 movie in the long hour drive!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
1080p is 2Mbit per frame, and is larger than the actual display, so it has to be scaled down to 1024x600 as it is decoded - at 24 frames per second. The mp4 (or other) decode + scaling without GPU acceleration is the problem, not the availability of a couple GB for frame buffers.

At a minimum, rescaling your video to fit the native resolution would probably fix it. Most people just don't want to bother :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguey:
Ram has nothing to do with it ( well it does but even 128 would work )

Its like schettj said, the GPU accell or CPU accell / Multithreaded decode thats the problem.....Ie....Software is the problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xusefil321:
OK so I need some serious help. I'm not a total n00b but I'm still fairly new to the rooting world.

I recently rooted my dinc and installed the new cyanmogen 7 to bring it to gingerbread. I had let my sister use my updated phone because she has a dinc too and was considering doing the same.

She was messing around with it and downloaded something from the marketplace and when she ran it the entire phone shut off. I don't know what she installed and when asked she doesn't know either. When I boot the phone it stays at the htc boot screen and will not go any further. I've tried a recovery which all the forum topics tell me to do and unfortunately it doesn't give me the option to load anything from my sd card. The only menu options under recovery are: Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down.

When I plug my phone in my Windows 7 comp it isn't found as a drive and only shows up under device manager. If it makes a difference I rooted using unrevoked3. I'm not sure what I can do at this point. Please keep in mind that although I'm not 100% new at this I'm still really unfamiliar with it all.

What can I do to get my phone working properly again? I don't care if its from a factory reset I just need to get it working.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
The white screen with your device info is not the recovery menu, it's the Bootloader/HBOOT menu. Select Bootloader from that menu and you will be given an option to reboot into recovery, most likely ClockworkMod Recovery. Once there you should be able to restore from a backup or reinstall Cyanogen 7.0.

If you cannot boot into recovery download the latest OTA update here. Rename it to "PB31IMG.zip" and put it on your SDcard. Reboot into the bootloader and it will detect the PB31IMG update and press Volume Up to apply it.

You'll need to root your phone again after this, though.

I make it through the gv install process just like normally and after finishing it fetches the last text and then fc's.

Windows = closed source. Android = open source.

You won't find any custom WP7 ROMs because the source code is not openly distributed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yopete525:
Windows Phone 7 won't be on Android phones anytime soon, just like the other posters have said. I'll point you to two things:

1. Launcher 7 (https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikusoft.launcher7&feature=search_result) is a very solid WP7 launcher that receives steady updates and is only improving. It's definitely worth checking out.

2. The WP7Android project (www.wp7android.com) is developing 9 WP7 applications for Android, and will supposedly develop WP7-like ROMs for popular devices.

However, I'd recommend you just buy a Windows Phone 7 device. The Mango release update coming in a few months is going to really make WP7 competitive, and there are many aspects that you simply won't be able to replicate with Android.

It's a matter of whether someone smart enough to know how to reverse engineer and re-engineer ARM machine code wants to put in the effort to make it work. I don't think anyone with those capabilities has any desire to put the effort into getting WP7 on the DInc.

[EVO 4G Accessories] keejung:
ok im sorry, i just wanted to confirm something, i'm looking at a getting a new sdhc card, mine is a oem verizon sandisk 16 gb class 2. im looking into upgrading to a 32 gb. i have alota music, maps, cm rom backups etc, and im looking at moving most of my apps to the card.

from what i understand a class 2, 4, 10 dosent mean much difference in the phone, but when downloading files to a computer. i wanted to confirm that the class doesnt mean much in the phone's speed..... this will change which card i go with... sandisk class 2 32gb are roughly 60 bucks and i like the company cause ive never had a problem with them, however the store down the road frys has a wintec class 10 32 gb for 65 bucks.... just wanted to get your guys opinion.... especially since the lenex and kingston are 100 each... again im not talking about the brand im talking about the class
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
It will make a difference on how fast things on the sdcard load. For instance your gallery will load much faster with a higher class card. If you have apps installed on your sdcard then they will load faster and so on. Now with this being said I have a 16GB Wintech class 10 card and and Adata class 6 card. The Adata class 6 loads everything much faster than the Wintech. My guess as to why this happens is because Adata is simply a better brand than Wintech. Some people have gotten lucky with the Wintech Class 10 cards and some have not. Some Class 2 cards will read and write at class 6 speeds. Is it confusing...a little, but the higher the class for the most part the higher the speed. If you can find a good class 6 or class 10 card it will be worth it, but my advice is to stay away from the Wintech. I have heard also that the Kingston class 4 cards usually are much faster than what they are rated for. If you want cheap, go cheap, but IMO you usually get what you pay for and Kingston is probably the top brand when it comes to microsd cards.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonnythan:
That's not necessarily true. The class rating refers to the minimum write speed - it has nothing to do with the read speed. I recently upgraded to a 16GB class 10 card from an 8GB class 6 card.

The class 6 card got ~7 MB/s write and ~14 MB/s read in SDTools. The class 10 card gets ~11 MB/s write and ~9 MB/s read.

But in general, the higher the class the better the card will perform in your phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jackgibbs:
yeah, higher class cards are only really good if you stream a lot
[EVO 4G Accessories] life:
i know this is only your opinion and im not trying to put you down or anything, but i do believe scandisk is top rated memory card.

i may be wrong, but im pretty sure they have lowest consumer complaints (about card dieing after a month or read and write speeds being slow, or whatever the consumer may complain about)

i have always used scandisk and i, myself would rate them to be the best, but thats just my opinion.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jonnythan:
Sandisk, not scandisk.

I have been looking for an answer and none found, but it seems the there is an issue with the WatchESPN no having audio. The majority (if not all) of the people with this issue are on CM7. Is it possible this is a ROM issue? I have yet to try a different ROM with it as I figured it was an app bug and they would update it with a patch. However today there was an update, but it was only to fix something unrelated.

I just wondering if live wallpapers consume more battery than simple wallpapers. Does anybody know?

[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Probably yes. But, imho, it should be negligible, if the LG2x is behaving properly. But, as with most bleeding-edge tech, I think almost anything can throw a spanner in the works right now. So, in that respect, I think it's probably best to reduce homescreen aesthetics until LG get round to taming the stability issues.

Ok so I was looking into methods on how to speed up my captivate and OCLF came up. I did it and it worked great but as I read on , many said to not use it as it was outdated. Is there something similar that uses a faster file system that I can use? Stock 2.2, Rooted
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Eh. Maybe...

If you want really fast speed and dont mind flashing, i would flash firefly 3.0, its pretty safe just make sure you have 100% charge when you do it. Then get the OC/UV kernal onix 2.0.5 and boot into recovery and change the file system to ext4...

Any questions? Make another post here i've already done this and can help you out.:)

Voodoo lagfix doesn't have a fix for froyo yet. Got any love for flashing a kernal?

The extisz Kernal would be for you It has the Voodoo Fixes and everything. You would just need to get the modded 3e recovery and then get CWM and flash the .zip you can download from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988805

You could always go back to JF6 and mod everything on it, and voodoo would work on that

OR you could just do OCLF its going to be a little increase, not much because the filesystem changes to ext2 not ext4, voodoo does ext4 which is faster
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lactardjosh:
Search for any KB1 kernel in the Dev section. If you want you stay as true to stock as possible, use Supercurio's stock KB1 + Voodoo kernel. It's nothing fancy, but it works really well with stock KB1.

Existz's KB1 kernel is also good. Overstock KB1 1.3 is another.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSideburns:
Sorry for the really nooby question but what is a kernel? And if I flashed a rom or a kernel how would I get back to stock if I ever wanted to? Also does my data carry over from rom to rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
In short, the kernel is what talks to the phone and how fast it functions. If you flashed a ROM or kernel you could get back to stock by using the Odin one-click downloader, and yes your data carries over. You will not loose data unless the modem you are using for a paticular ROM is not very good in your area...which can also be swapped out for a better one.

But you should really read some of the helpful guides about flashing ROMs.. it will answer a lot of your questions, and future questions:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Its all user preference. While I can say this is the fastest ROM my phone has ever run someone else could say the same about the ROM they are running. Best bet is to try them for yourself and make a decision based on what YOU like. :)

So i was debating on getting the HTC EVO 3D because of the new sprint nexus S ...and i ran into this

“I think the Nexus has been the thing we use to set the bar,” Rubin said. “There will always be new ones coming out for the market,” he continued.

So, when?

“The cycles are holidays and the summer time,” he noted indicating that they’d be making an announcement at some point. Considering that we’re already creeping up on the summer, maybe Rubin meant that the new Nexus S 4G for Sprint was the summer device. That leaves the holiday device…

So what will it be? A Nexus running Ice Cream Sandwich (the next version of Android that will unify the tablet Honeycomb OS with Android phones)? Perhaps. Rubin would only commit to the new OS launching “towards the end of the year”.

So what do ya'll think?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
That's one announcement I'm really hoping comes out of this. Who knows how soon, if at all (but one might assume as much), it'd come to Sprint. I hope the Nexus S coming to Sprint is a sign of things to come in the future. Hopefully a not too distant future. ;)

I saw an interesting article on the recent Google event. Since there has been some question about the S7 getting HC, because it does not meet the screen resolution requirements, maybe it will get Ice Cream:

"After Honeycomb comes Ice Cream Sandwich in the fourth quarter, which incorporates Honeycomb features but works on phones and Google TV devices as well. Job No. 1 for Ice Cream Sandwich is reducing the fragmentation problem that makes it hard to write one Android app that works on multiple devices, but Google was cagey on new features coming to make that possible. Also coming with Ice Cream Sandwich is a facial tracking technology. "

[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
It's Android. Any OS version can be put on any device, with enough will and skill.

I got the S7 because of the screen size; personally, I feel a 10.1" loses the portability factor and I might as well be using a netbook. Having used HC on the XOOM, I'm thinking that the S7 will be the perfect platform for it. 7" is definitely not too small, and is probably just the right size (I know; that's what she said).
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I wasn't speaking of if it was possible to put it on the S7 (yes, I'm sure it is); I have seen some posts that indicate that Google has set the standard for HC support above 800X480, which may mean that Dell won't upgrade. I'm not sure I've seen it confirmed anywhere. I was just pointing out that ICS may provide the same functionality, and would definitely work with the S7 resolution.

My OP was speaking of Dell releases, not outside developer rooting and hacking.
