[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Windst:
I'm an owner of an Xperia X10, rooting and changing firmware was pretty simple, nothing but roms, were still in our kernel phase. Rooted my boss's Captivate, and his friends Galaxy S2 from Tmobile. But I hear for the fascinate not to use there methods, because the fascinate runs differantly?

Ive been looking up, and searching, probably keying words wrong, so i do apologize if i didnt search well enought, but my girlfriend just got this phone, and it is on 2.2 Verizon. From what i've read all the root/firmware flashing is for 2.1, and 2.2 isn't rootable yet? Is this true? if not, wheredo I go about for Odin, CWM, and whats the most stable suggestable rom I can throw on her phone?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
First of all, I like to suggest you that your gf needs to learn how to do it by herself. I doubt you are gonna be next to her everytime when problems occur.

You can root by SuperOneClick 1.9.1 then flash CWM by times infinity. When you are done, flash

Rom/Kernel of your choice.

If you want TW Rom, there is Com Rom. Ppl say EF is better, and it should be due to it JUST removed bloats n deodexed. I personally use ComRom.

For TW kernel, there are Imnut's PBJ kernel(undervolted) which I use.

And there is OTB kernel, which allow you to do w/e voltage settings. (OverClock/UnderVolt)

Also there are AOSP roms, but I wouldn't recommend it due to NOT all of apps/systems are functioning
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Windst:
@xHoLyx, TY. aprreciated. I know how annoying it is for these post, its always wierd going to the phone forum i'm not usually on. She's actually next to me learning how I do this, she finds it interesting because I do this almost everday to my phone. I think ill try comm out. she doesnt want to lose the camera, and likes the stock android look compared to tw. TY

I need help choosing a Kernel for my HTC. I use Warms TwoPointTwo and am not a heavy moder flashed to get rid of the bloatware.

Well my battery life sucks. I use Juice Defender and followed a guide to get better battery life but battery consumption is still not lasting long.

Are there any good Kernels that will help me save battery life? What else can a new Kernel benefit?

Warm recommends these kernels but I dont know what any of them do or which ones are best, can you help me decide?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I recommend Netarchy 4.2.1-noHAVS-noSBC-noUV and I would also downgrade your PRI from 1.90 to 1.77 for starters and see if your battery life improves. Check for wakelock issues that could be preventing your EVO from sleeping and causing excessive battery drainage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Why do you recommend downgrading the PRI? Will I lose anything? Also where do I get that PRI?

Any particular reason you recommend that kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
For many users, the combination of baseband 2.15.00.11.19 and PRI 1.90_003 causes a wakelock issue resulting in rapid battery drainage and downgrading the PRI to 1.77_003 solves that problem. You can get the PRI from here. Just download it, put it on your SD card, go into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the PRI zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Will I notice anything different as far as reception or anything? I wont be hurt by the downgrade in any way will I? And what about the Kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You will be fine. Your reception will be the same and no, it will not hurt to downgrade the PRI. Do not downgrade anything else. As for the kernel, it will work fine with it. We are all EVO owners here, my friend, and those of us who frequent these threads daily are here to assist and not to harm. Personally, I am sharing what I've learned as best as I can. If it will give you solace, I recommend that you go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup of your current setup. By doing so, if you don't like the outcome, you can always restore the backup and things will be as they were prior to the change. I recommend you do that before making any changes to your device. It's really a moot point with the PRI because if you decide you don't want it, you can simply flash the version you had. Anyway, take care and have a great night.

So this is my second non-fixable brick, except the first time the device wouldn't turn on at all so I sent for a replacement. This time I just had the screen with the phone and computer. Tried every possible combination of fixes for getting into download mode and nothing worked so I ordered one from mobiletechvideos.com and it got here in just two days(not counting sunday) as I was hesitant to make one myself.

Anyways, I really should've followed the advice of others on here and got one(or made one)

Just got my HDMI cable and found the first problem with my Transformer. Sure, I have some minor bleed but it's only noticeable if you're looking for it. This HDMI port, however, is definitely a problem. The cable seats well in the port but the port itself feels like there's some play between it and the chassis. I often have to jiggle the cable for the device to detect the connection and then it's often so touchy that the slightest shift will break it. And if I jiggle it just right I can cause an instant SOD on demand.

I had none of the other major issues folks have discussed but looks like I'm going to have to contact ASUS tomorrow anyway cause this is a definite hardware defect.

But literally any USB gamepad will work with android 3.1, and there are many many usb gamepads out there.

Hey all,

On unrooted hc 3.1 and, even with the update to flash, I'm unable to watch shows on nbc on dolphin browser mini as the stock browser has it blocked for some bizarre reason.

My question is, do the recent enhancements from android 3.1 only extend to the stock browser? Do third party browsers need to update their apps to get up to speed?

I definitely feel like flash is much more stable and quick on the stock browser.

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes there is a update from Microsoft available for WP7 called NoDo. But a working adaptation of it for the HD2 is not available yet. It was a video released a while back showing NoDo copy and Paste feature working on the HD2 by the DFT. But it kind of seem to be holding out for the Mangoo update or something because a ROM that can either receive the update or has the update included in it has yet to surface that I know of.

So just to make sure you understand, you can not install the update no matter what you do right now. Unless you would like to jump in and steal the spot light for a minute and be the one that officially released said ROM. That is if you are so minded to do it, I personally would love to but I do not have the knowledge to do so yet.

[Networking] Altair4:
So currently I have my internet provided by Fios - 15mpbs up and 5 mpbs down. Today a salesman from Cablevision offered me an "upgrade" - 50mpbs up and 8 mpbs down. Now what I understand is that with a fiber optic network, what they advertise (in this case 15/5) is what you usually get. With cable the bandwidth is shared between people in your neighborhood, so one rarely gets that full 50mbps. However, there's so much conflicting information on the internet about this I'm not sure what to believe.

So my question is, should I stay with Fios or switch to Cablevision (cost not considered)? If I do switch, how much of that 50mbps could I realistically use with a cable network?

Thanks for your help.
[Networking] brilldoctor:
Well in the uk ofcom found that with virgins fiber network up to 50 mv they got a average of 42
[Networking] brilldoctor:
Although it may be a different technology
[Networking] ccdoggy:
It all depends on the area you are in and how developed the cable network is. For example I am at college in a house in a small town in the middle of WI, we are paying for a 16meg connection but always maxes out at about 20.6 on a cable connection. In larger cities there will be more congestion.

The main reason there is a difference between fiber and coax is that fiber networks are newer and have much higher throughput devices throughout. Coax is still catching up. The total bandwidth is still 'shared' with your neighbors with fiber, but its just able to handle allot more and no nearly as many neighbors have fiber compared to coax.

If they are offering you a 50 meg service I would say go for it. I would believe that IF they offer something that high for residential they just upgraded their coax backend and are able to more handle the traffic. they would not just arbitrarily offer that speed and only be able to handle half of it, that would damage their reputation (not that they care) and cause networking nightmares.

Your best bet would be to ask someone who currently has their service and see if they can run a few speed tests at peak hours and see what their result is compared to what they should be getting.
[Networking] sdrawkcab25:
The FiOS network works quite differently than any COAX based network out there.

All coax networks run "Fiber To The Neighborhood(Node)/FTTN" serving anywhere between 200 to, in some cases, a thousand customers. All the available bandwidth is shared from the fiber node that serves the neighborhood. The way cable companies offer you speeds such as "50MBps" is siphon all available bandwidth to a subscriber who is performing a task that needs it. So if a bunch of subscribers all decide to perform tasks that require a lot of data, you will never see that 50MBps speed. Cable companies also usually have higher latency and experience higher packet loss. It should also be mention that even though it is called a "fiber node", it is not true fiber optic.

FiOS works on a PON (passive optical network) system. There are two types actively being used, BPON and GPON. GPON is the newest system and all customers will eventually be migrated to it. BPON and GPON both have a much greater possible bandwidth when compared to any cable system. Subscribers have an actual fiber network completely to the house/premise. Each subscribers only shares their connection on the Verizon network with 32 other customers with plenty of extra bandwidth available. All 32 customers could be using all of their subscribed bandwidth and it would not slow down the Verizon network. Verizon currently offers speeds up to 150MBps download and 50 upload. The most common tiers currently are 15/5, 25/25, and 35/35. Some areas also offer 50/50.

In other words, FiOS speeds are MUCH more reliable and consistent, no matter what time of day.
[Networking] johnston9234:
Someone should address the fact they asked about Mbps rather than MBps
[Networking] sdrawkcab25:
If you want to be a real stickler, he actually said mpbs, but we are all smart enough to know what he meant.
[Networking] johnston9234:
well i was referring to the difference between Megabits per second and MegaBytes per second
[Networking] k0zmic:
I can confirm the UK Virgin Media speeds :D
[Networking] alex.demskie:
Short answer: All consumer based networking technologies are shared. Realistically you should always be able to get the bandwidth that they quote. Especially if your getting a "premium" connection like Verizon's FiOS.

When ISP's don't give enough headroom for the connection speeds that they quote, during prime-time hours your effective bandwidth is reduced. The only way to get around this is to get a leased line. But that's silly and impractical.

FWIW, If I were you I'd keep Verizon. The difference is not really worth it.
[Networking] xaccers:
Back in the days of 512Kbps, NTL used to actually provide 600Kbps sold as 512, that way in any speed tests they always came out on top :D

There's also the issue of what they are refering to when they say Mb.

To me, and many other oldschool techies, Mb is 1024Kb, but that is now Mib.

Mb is 1000Kb.

If one company uses Mb and another uses Mib then speed tests can show incorrect results. Also there is the overhead with TCP/IP so when you transfer a 1MiB file you're actually transferring more than 1MiB.

Over here, Cable=fibre.

ADSL=copper phone lines.

Generally with cable over here you have more chance of always hitting (or getting bloody close to) the advertised speed.

A rule of thumb in the UK is, if you can get cable, and you have no problems, it's the best to go for.
[Networking] jonandkym:
I think there are three questions here... Is the cable company asking for less money? It is hard to justify paying for a faster speed when you may only be getting half of what's advertised. Why do you need more speed? Most places on the internet can only connect at a couple Mbps so, unless you have many devices all running at the same time, it is not likely that you will tap out your current connection. Do you game? FIOS would typically have a lower latency. If you would get a lower price and you aren't concerned about latency, it might be worth switching, but otherwise you will probably be happier with the more predictable nature of FIOS.
[Networking] brilldoctor:
Off topic but I noticed the other day that by were charging about 37 pounds for up to 20mb adsl (i only get 8) and and Virgin were 38 pounds for up to 50 mb fiber
[Networking] xaccers:
£37 for up to 20Mbps? I'd want to be getting 20 down and over 2 up for that price!
[Networking] ryansmith@123:
Cable vs Fiber

I would suggest to ask someone who is using Cablevision to get right feedback. Usually up speed of 50 mbps will not give too much difference.
