[Thunderbolt General] klh8336:
On my ride home today I discovered something unique that is only available to thunderbolt users. I was running GPS and pandora which made my phone a little hot. I took out my kickstand and put it in my air conditioning vent. This provided air cooling to the phone and a great hands free dock. Try it out, hope you guys had as much luck as i did.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
That's pretty funny others in here have done it as well.
[Thunderbolt General] ericatomars23:
that's an awesome idea. I have jeep wrangler so I usually put the kick stand on and put it on top.

How does it stay in there wouldn't it be to heavy and fall out?
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
There is another thread showing this. The bottom of the phone rests against the dash so some of the weight is supported there.
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
That will work great until winter when the air coming out of the vent is warm...
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
At which point you can OC it to 2.0GHz, and cook breakfast on it on the way to work.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
lawlz...if a company for realz produced a hot plate for the phone, I am pretty sure I would buy it just because I can. lol.

I was out of town for a week and didn't have internet so I tethered my laptop and tablet off of my phone all week. Was checking out data usage :

CHRISTOPHER's Current Usage Summary - Data

Important Information

Next billing cycle starts: May 21, 2011

If I am reading that right, thats almost 25g of info. Thats just absolutely insane.

No, I don't use Sense and am on TPGB Rom. I just think its funny, good thing I have unlimited.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
DADGUM! :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tmullins23:
Thought unlimited still had a mystery cap. (5gb) or so...
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
nahhhh my bro's uses over 10gb every month and pays normal amount of bill.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
I wouldn't be laughing. Although you may have unlimited data, such a dramatic spike in data usuage may cause a red flag on your account and can cause att to look into your data usage more. If you are going to do something your not supposed to, be smart about it and keep a low profile. Food for thought.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatherSauce:
I'm having a small issue with my sound. I'm running CM7.0.0 with the stock kernel. I'm trying to play videos from internet sources (Netflix, Youtube app, and in browser videos) and I keep having the sound skip or stutter. Sometimes it's not real bad like once every 30 or 45 seconds and sometimes it's every 5 or 10. I'm pretty sure it's not just my internet connection cause it did it at home when I was on my home network (whatever the Verizon fiber optic one is called). Any one have ideas on what I can do to fix it or is it a normal expected problem that I just have to deal with?

p.s. I don't have any experience using my own videos so I don't know if they would have the same problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
It is entirely possible that using an OC (overclocked) kernel would fix your audio stumbling issues, however there is a lot of confusion with kernels right now as our developer is working on a .32 kernel and your version of CM7 requires a .29 kernel. (last updated .29 OC kernel was from 4/24). If you're not entirely sure of what you're doing with switching kernels, just don't do it. Something else you could try instead would be to set your governor on performance while watching video...It will keep your CPU revved up to the max the whole time. Governors are under settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance/cpu settings.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatherSauce:
Thanks. I've always used the stock kernels and been fine so I don't really want to mess with that if I don't have to. I'll give the governor settings a try and see if that helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatherSauce:
Well, that didn't seem to help and then I screwed up something else so it'll be a couple of days til I can really try to fix it. Guess I'll get back to this once it's fixed.
[EVO 4G General] Blameme:
I was wondering if there is an app/game to show off the high end graphics in my evo?
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Need for speed shift and reckless racing are two good ones to for showing off.

A good free one is called cordy, super smooth and flashy graphics.
[EVO 4G General] Blameme:
All right, ill try them. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Btw the evo's graphics chip isn't really high end....
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
But it works though and I haven't noticed any inability to play the "high end" games without any problems.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Dungeon defenders..
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
On Sense roms it was unplayable. On Cmod 7, it's not unplayable for me, but it's not smooth either. But this is a good example.
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
Hey, do any of you guys get wake up lag? If i don't wake up my phone for about 3 minutes, and I try and wake it up, it takes a good 3-4 seconds to turn on the screen. is this normal? I am running gingerblur, launcher pro, and a fingerprint sensor, so I don't know if that is what is slowing it down.
[Atrix 4G General] Optimus-Prime:
yeah its normal i have it too. i returned my atrix for the same reason got the new one right out of the box with the same issue
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
thanks for the quick reply!! hopefully this will be fixed in a future update...
[Atrix 4G General] Optimus-Prime:
yep. it got used to it already.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Nope. I have no wakeup lag. I would say that mine takes a fraction of 1 second after I press the power button for the screen to be ready to be unlocked.
[Atrix 4G General] ethantarheels123:
are you running everything stock motoblur? and do u have fingerprint setup?
[Atrix 4G General] cheetah2k:
Search button anyone? This topic has been done to death....
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
3-5 secs lag is too much. I tested this (in 1.86) with//without fingerprint lock, with/without launcher pro, with/without GB 3.5 and although fingerprint and LP seem to add a small lag, no combination that I tested had anything close to 3 secs of lag. The few times I've seen that kind of lag in the couple of months I've owned the phone were far and few between.
[Atrix 4G General] Haplodroid:
Yes, 3 seconds or so is normal, sometimes out doesn't turn on. Tomorrow I'm exchanging for an Infuse.
[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Don't really have 3 secs, I'd say about 1 or max 2. Go louncher ex removed motoblur widgets, everything else stock and live wallpaper.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Seriously. I mean when you start a topic it shows similar topics, right? Not that hard.

Lurk moar, people.
[Atrix 4G General] jimmer411:
Turn off fingerprint sensor and problem solved
[Atrix 4G General] mblakev:
I have this problem as well, very annoying. It has happened ever since i first booted it. But its weird, even though the screen is off, its is still responsive and i can feel the screen vibrate when i drag where the unlock bar would be across the screen.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
If you are using set cpu in sleep below 500mhz you maybe will get a delay/lag

.......................................................

Sent from my loved atrix ;D
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
No lag.

Only when it boots up the first time but that's expected when all my crap is loading up.

I don't use the finger scanner or password or anything just turn on the volume button and its fast no lag.
[Atrix 4G General] Optimus-Prime:
Ha. I just did that. Im getting mine shipped today, they didn't tell me to return the Atrix tho. Shall I keep it?

hi im not all that new but im new enough and i have a little experience with Roms on my hd2 and theres one i just really enjoy but i want to try other Roms out without losing all my data i have tried my backup but it takes 16 to 20 min for me to back up is there anything that can do it faster?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
maybe Titanium Backup?

How many app do you have on your phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theted:
i have like 36 apps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 10507:
Wow, with that few app, I don't think it should take that long to backup with Titanium Backup or My Backup. I have around 250+app and both Titanium/My Backup back up my app in less 5 minutes. I think there's something wrong with your SDcard.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theted:
idk i just got this one after my last card died on me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
I'd suggest checking the card for errors on PC plus defragmentation (mydefrag has flash drive mode),

then you could try increasing card cache size in Android:

- SD Tools to measure RW speed before & after

- SD Speed Increase to set cache size to 2048 or whatever works best for you

-> more details in this thread
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AguazeJ@gmail.com:
Id like to know to for a backup for playlist, apps, photos, I searched for it all I came up with is titanium backup, & mybackup root; but don't work , I used titannium backup for apps it worked, but couldn't restore playlist, data, and photos

Would like to see an application for this

Sent from my Htc Hd2/Nexus
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
Photos should be somewhere in DCIM folder on your card, so no need for backup app, when it's easier to copy it manually wherever you need.

Apps and settings are backed up by Titanium, with the exception of those installed on card (if I'm correct).

As for playlists, I'm not sure, it may depend on particular player you're using, but I shouldn't expect any problems with Titanium as well - all in all it has separate mode for system/app data and settings backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
Anyone know what it is? The reason I ask is that I thought I was doing something wrong with my SBC kernels since charging wasn't always at the high mA I saw on some of my chargers. I noticed that when using the HTC cable I got the full strength of the charge, compared to the cable I chose from monoprice. I just want to make sure I buy the right one next time since I don't plan on buying all HTC cables.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
The wire gauge has nothing to do with it. The power supply in the charger needs to be designed for that kind of output. The HTC charger has a 1000mah power supply. Most of the cheap chargers you can buy a much much less.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
I'm going to have to disagree with you. I know how to read chargers and I know how to measure their output. Hell, I can put one together with components from radio shack. And it's totally the cable.

I have a few chargers that are all 5v outputs. But the mA's are all different. I have a 1.5A, two 1.0As, and a 800 mA. I tested the HTC cable vs the monoprice cable on each one and the HTC cable consistently gets higher draw.

I know this seems like a nitpick for a USB cable, but there are times when I literally have 10 minutes to charge my phone and with the HTC cable I can charge up to 30% faster. I'm going to try my luck with another cable that monoprice has; a 28/24AWG cable. If that doesn't cut it, I'll just go ahead and keep using my cables; in the end that extra 30% isn't going to kill me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Actually, the wire gauge and the length very likely do have something to do with it, and I've been having similar issues with my monoprice cables. Your point about the charger needing to support it is true, but on a given charger, I've seen quite a big difference between the OEM cable and the monoprice cables of various lengths. The phone sees them all as AC chargers, but I can unplug one cable and switch to another and see a big change.

As a rough made up example, I might get 750mA using the OEM 4ft cable. Monoprice's 6ft cable might only be able to pull 600mA, and their 10ft cable might only pull 400mA. Sometimes it's even more drastic than that.

Either wire gauge or length could affect the ability of the cable to transfer higher current. Monoprice does have a higher gauge of cable, and I've considered trying it out. However, they have a ferrite core on the end, which I'm not a big fan of. I may try one out to see though. I'm also not sure whether it's really a wire gauge issue or if it's more a factor of the longer length.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Are you talking about using the same power supply with a different piece of USB cable between it and the phone? Or the power supplies with the integrated usb cable?

If you're using the same power supply (wall wart with a USB port), then ya the cable just sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Same power supply, different cables. I've always had good luck with monoprice cables, and these do technically work. But I'd like to get faster charging. I'll either pick up one of their higher gauge ones (hate the ferrite cores) or try another brand.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaleroca:
Since I have been updating my Rom's very frequently lately, I have been doing a lot of CWM backup's. My question to you all is, at what point should I start deleting some of these recoveries?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
They take up a lot of space, so keep at least two and delete the rest or the latest one. It doesn't matter really which you keep.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaibar:
Can you tell from the backup's name what are its contents? If not, then you should start renaming them so the name makes sense :-)

I suggest that you either keep the ones that are important for you, or copy them to PC and rename them in some way that you'll be able to tell what's in the backup. You can always copy back from the PC whatever backup/rom you're missing in your phone. After having once my SD card fubared (grrrrrr), I started copying once in a while to PC some backups anyway...

If you're making backups from nightly to nightly builds etc, then probably you can keep the latest that was working properly, or ones that have different roms etc.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaleroca:
Thanks. Will do
[Adam General] wis3m0nkey:
Hi everyone,

I have read specs and I've watched hands on videos. (I like the choice of display -- paperback and normal and mouse pad at the bottom plus all those ports)

However I want to ask people who are actually using Adam (hopefully comparing with Galaxy tab 10.1):

1. How is touch screen?

2. How is performance (default Launcher and OS mods)

3. How good is display (paperback) to read books (and to work) in sunlight and how good is it normally?

4. Does is come unlocked? (no carrier restrictions?)

5. How easier is it to mod it? (I heard bootloader is pretty open and they are allowing all the development.) I currently own Samsung Epic 4g (cell phone) as much as I like the phone, I don't like Samsung's extra firmware making it nearly impossibly for devs to mod

6. Price point comparison.

And any other suggestions you may have to point
[Adam General] wis3m0nkey:
Mods: Please move thread to general discussion,

I was reading about development for Adam and started new thread without knowing that I'm starting it in development section
[Adam General] sanjayng:
I am interested in the views as well.

With Samsung anouncing 8.9 and 10.1 inch tablets with similar or advanced hardware specs and the price point from what I hear is more competitive, this world is getting good.
[Adam General] landrian18:
Been using adam..and already put honeycomb on it..don't do the same mistake I've done.its heavy screen not good glare everywhere..take my advice don't buy adam. Now im saving, reading alot about transformer and waiting for samsung 10.1 (thin) .. will be out on june8.
[Adam General] clockcycle:
*It looks like you are reading older design specifications, that "touch pad" idea never made it to production.

1. Good

2. Good

3. It is not "paperback" or e-ink, but it is a PQi screen, IMHO excellent for outdoor use. It is a

trade-off" feature.. Viewing angles and vivid colors are not it's forte.

4. "3G" is dependent on the carrier's/ network frequency - In the US it's only compatible with AT&T..

5. It's open and came with NVFLASH capabilities since day one, hard to "brick".

6. Other "newer" devices in your local market may be more appealing.. (personal preference) YMMV

Hope that helps,
[Adam General] crajoh:
I had one, LCD 3g. Could not handle the very poor viewing angle of the LCD, was basically not usable in portrait mode and with no official honeycomb in the near future I sold it and bought an Acer A500.

It was a fair bit more expensive and no 3g, but I have never looked back.
[Adam General] Lectruck:
Mid July 2011 Android 3 should be out for the Adam!!!
[Adam General] Col.Kernel:
Unfortunately being locked into AT&T freq's is a deal breaker for me.
[Adam General] wis3m0nkey:
I thought it comes unlocked?
[Adam General] dawcx:
It is unlocked but that doesn't mean all carriers are compatible.

I have no regrets buying adam. Extremely robust (may not have a metal shell but there is an aluminum chassis on the inside), virtualy impossible to brick, pixel qi is amazing provided you can do with less contrast than your lcd tv. I personaly love the swivel camera (fact that it swivels, I could do without the audible click from auto focus), the speakers are better than most laptops let alone other tablets. Could hold it all day due to the design. External ports galore. Plus comes with a dedicated community determined to make your experience with adam a better one, in lieu of a NI customer support. On that note it would seem they're making great strides in correcting this.
[Adam General] amityg:
I have a second Adam coming in a few weeks. The hardware is awesome. It may require software skills to unleash the power. The display is the deal breaker. I have it mounted on the HD for the relaxing trips off into the unknown.

My adam is nice, but I have no use for it. It is up for sale on ebay here http://cgi.ebay.com/Notion-Ink-Adam-Pixel-Qi-3G-/120737554657?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item1c1c84e0e1

The price is currently at $350 with one bid and one day to go. It is a pixel qi model with the att 3g bands.
[Adam General] dougmany:
I have an pqi adam. I like the pqi screen. Even indoor, if you have bright light, the black and white mode is very high resolution, and looks great. I use it in bed with my lamp pointed at it and it is very easy on the eyes.

I am not a fan of android in general. The interface notion ink puts on might be good if you use it every day but I constantly thinking "ok, how do I do this again?" Maybe I'm just old. It does help with androids poor multitasking though.

Battery life was a lot worse on the adam than I thought. I can get 7.5 hours of constant use if I am in airplane mode and black-and white mode. I was hoping for 6 with everything on. Not so.

I am putting my hopes in linux for tegra (Alpha just release). The unity interface look promising. I think the thing that adam has going for it is it's so open. They make it very easy to try every software available and they give you the tools to do it.

I am happy with my adam but every time my wife pulls out her Ipad I think, for less money she has a sleeker design that always works and has not just apps you want but quality apps. That is my biggest peeve with android. Yes I can usually find what I want but the quality is so low I can't stand to use it.

About at&t, they have a reasonable tablet plan that I tried to sign up for it but it appeared to only be offered for Honeycomb tablets.

I know there is that thread for the Xbox controller, but how about ps3, can that connect wirelessly? Or even with the cord? Is the only thing I need to get this working is a USB OTG deal?

Also what games are you guys using with these controllers, I know a lot of people are using emulators, but what apps are you using to get them and the ROMs? Also besides emulators, what other games are working well with controllers?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RadDudeTommy:
I'm so excited.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
Yea man this is pretty sweet. You just have to map the keys correctly and it works flawlessly. I like the feeling of the ps3 controller more than my xbox 360 controller.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RadDudeTommy:
Do you map it through android settings or what? I had a wiimote hooked up when i got the Xoom, but pretty much just to test it. I wasn't ver thrilled. But for that there was an app since it was wireless.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
I was curious about this too. The 3.1 update comes with the additional keylayout files for the controllers and their mappings (there's even one for a logitech racing wheel) so would you really NEED to remap them?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidriera:
He must be talking about remapping in the emulators themselves. The 3.1 update, even if it does have full profiles for the various compatible controllers, will only map keys in the OS itself. Programs that support the profiles will work automatically, or that happen to use the same keys i.e. just because the triangle button on the dualshock is mapped to "g" doesn't mean that SNESoid automatically maps the y button to g. This is what I would expect the case to be, anyway ;)
