[HTC Sensation] alexp999:
I've come from a galaxy s, even with gingerbread on it I still much prefer my sensation, sure there will be bugs, like any new release, but I find the sensation a lot more of a polished experience, I'm actually using a lot more features getting more out of android than I did on the galaxy s.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Oh yes it will, as some others with similar having already been cracked.

This game is nothing new and even before Android, HTC played this same game with WM devices and they would also get cracked.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Being a SGS owner I really hope you're not saying the Sensation is as, or even more, laggy than a single core Galaxy S. That would be a huge disappointment.
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
Try mp3tag which is free and lets you edit all tags. Works for me
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
That is because he is comparing it to an SGS running AOSP Gingerbread which is completely tweaked in every way to optimize the ROM. Apples and oranges, apples and oranges. Imagine this phone with CM7 on it (which is what I'm sure his SGS is running). Can you say Sensation = M3, SGS = scooter?

Sucks it's not working out, but how you like a phone is ALL relative to what YOU like and feel about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lgtsanev:
Ok, so here is what puzzles me:

I have a MT3G, SuperOneClick rooted, with RA 1.7.0, busybox 1.18.4, all apps requiring superuser permissions are working flawlessly (Titanium, SetCPU, Root Explorer, Droid Wall, etc). Fix_permissions works with RA (other/fix uid mismatches) and ROM Manager, but when I open the emulator and type $su #fix_permissions, it gives me

bash: fix_permissions: command not found

In adb shell fix_permissions, permission is denied. All useful ideas how to solve this are much appreciated, thanks...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lgtsanev:
Ok, I don't want to open a new topic, but really need some advice here! I just used Root Check in advanced mode, before it ran it asked for and received superuser permissions, then the detailed results were:

Seriously, guys, please help, I dont have a clue whether I have a permanent root or not. I forgot to mention I'm using the T-Mobile OTA Froyo 2.2.1 FRG83D. I've rooted this same ROM once, 5-6 months ago, when it was pushed out, I had no problems, fix_permissions were working. Then I nandroid backed it up, so I can restore it if I don't like the other ROMs I used later (which were Ginger Yoshi RC7 -a great ROM, but the launcher was constantly restarting, and then back to Super D - most stable one, but lots of the good apps are not for 1.6 anymore). However, when I tried to restore Froyo, it didnt work, so I had to start over, using the following steps to get the OTA and root it. Please, let me know if I missed something or did it wrong:

Now, as I mentioned before, I cannot run fix_permissions through the emulator, but it runs through ROM Manager and RA (fix package uid mismatches).

Why is that? Is it the ROM, which causes the problem?

I'm clueless, please help!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr00d:
Hi,

I'm new to this forum and have less than 10 posts. Therefore I may not post into development threads.

I have rooted my HTC Desire Z today and I'm running virtuous rom. Now I'd like to use vpnc to connect to our business network. I think there're two ways, the one tun is build into the kernel and the other tun needs to be loaded at runtime.

Can somebody tell me how to check if tun support is build into my kernel? Or is there somebody out there who can build tun.ko for 2.6.35.10-g9d47fde or what do I need to build this module on my own?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PureH2O:
I've heard that the G2x has major hardware and software issues...how bad are those issues? Should I wait to buy the phone til LG fixes them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
If it has major issues why would you consider buying?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
the only major hardware issue is the screen bleeding which for most people isn't a problem at all. the software problems will be fixed upon software update. if u have no problem waiting then feel free but either way its a great phone and will see its full potential as software improves.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Quite a few user generated issues as well. ;)

I picked up a pair the day they came out. Swapped the battery on one and everything has been great with the other. I do suggest you take the time to do all the reading necessary to customize the phone to your needs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I agree, and will add that it should be done with every phone or device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:

But to the OP I got a G2x on launch day and took it back with in five days because of its issues. That being said I'm waiting till I know issues are fixed then I'm getting it again if that tells you anything
[Xoom General] patass:
I've been through 4 cables, and two xooms because of them. The first two cables just didnt work, and the third one a room mate tripped on and broke both the cable and the port on the xoom. Now last night I was watching tv on my xoom, and the casing for the cable just kinda fell apart. I tried fixing it by pushing it back together because I was at a friend's house and we were watching tosh.0, but it just made the contacts in the cable go all over the place. Now I'm afraid I may have busted this xoom too, because two of the contacts are stick out a little bit.
[Xoom General] sal_shawn:
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. But I really like my HDMI cable for mine. But the only thing I dislike about it is that the sound out of my surround sound sucks.
[Xoom General] patass:
yeah the sound quality can be iffy sometimes, that's on the xoom side though i think. Monoprice is replacing the cable again, I'm just super worried about the xoom. I bought it because of HDMI, it's a required feature for me.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I recall reading your horror story about your friend"s room mate tripping over your cable. Sorry for such bad luck. But these things are delicate.

Really the fact that the dock doesn't include the mini HDMI is pitiful, and your situation is a perfect illustration of why that oversight needs to be fixed.
[Xoom General] ScottC:
I'm using the original Motorola cable, and have not had any problems. Saying it should "Just go away" makes no sense, as there is no alternative that'll fit in the case of the Xoom.
[Xoom General] patass:
I mean these stupid delicate ports need to go away. How is it that I've dropped my phone with micro USB cables plugged into it multiple times and both the port and the cables are still fine?

Also, how much did the moto cable cost, and how long is it
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
It's $20 and about 4 inches I think.
[Xoom General] patass:
4 feet? that...just seems useless, especially at 20 bucks. monoprice cables are USUALLY super high quality, i've been using their micro usb's forever with nothing like this happening. It's a 10 foot cable for 5 bucks, gold plated and all that.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I dunno. Two Xooms? And you've dropped your phone "multiple times"? Sounds like you might be a bit rough on this equipment.

No?
[Xoom General] siscim23:
You've probably spent $20 on those 4 crappy cables. If you got the good cable to begin with, you wouldn't be in this situation. Cable has nothing to do with the port or how poorly you handle your devices.

Also, Micro USB != Micro HDMI
[Xoom General] patass:
i purchased one, the others have been free replacements.

Not everyone can have their xoom in a forcefield with a mind control ui, so they never ever have to touch it or take it anywhere like you.

I'll also throw out there that my evo's hdmi port has been around longer and is still fine, so maybe it's just motorola that's screwing up.
[Xoom General] denpad2010:
Hi,first my English not good lol...now my question is i have a wifi xoom. And a Motorola Droid x HDMI cable,but when i try to see in TV i don't see anything what's wrong?
[Xoom General] Binge:
I'm assuming you're talking about the Droid X. The DX's hdmi out is only supported within specific apps. It won't just "mirror" your droids' screen onto a TV like the Xoom does.

Youtube and the like use it as long as the cable is plugged into it. There are apps on the market that will accomplish this though. It's a limitation in the Droid X's hardware somewhere that does not allow simultaneous images, so the apps will just put it on your TV screen, which makes touching icons a guessing game.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
Really? You have broken it that many times and its not your fault? I find that hard to believe. Take care of your stuff!
[Xoom General] patass:
MUFUKA YUU DUN KNO ME YU DUN NO WERE I CAM FRUM SHIIIIIIT.

No really though, I've got my genesis from my child hood, an immaculate dvd and blu-ray collection, my xoom has no scratches or anything on it, etc. I do take care of my stuff.
[Xoom General] Dogmann:
Hi all,

I have to say i really have no issues with the micro HDMI to HDMI cable at all but then i did buy the Motorola one which wasn't cheap but as usual you tend to get what you pay for in life. I connect mine straight to my monitors HDMI port and run Audio out from the monitor to my JBL powered sub woofer and 4 speakers i watch all my live and catch up TV and my downloaded US TV shows all in great quality and sound.

I also really don't get a lot of the complaints i see about the Xoom all over the place though as my screen is bright clear and sharp but then i have my screen brightness set to full and have Auto brightness disabled. I admit the one time i tried Auto brightness the screen was horrible so i just don't use it. I also don't see any lag or stutter but then i am using ADW EX as my launcher and with the Widgets and apps i use have everything i need on just one screen and for me the Xoom is working perfectly. I actually bought my Xoom as my desktop went nuts and i needed something quickly and for what i need it for the Xoom has totally replaced my desktop sure I'd like to see Moto give us Euro users updates faster and enable the SD card but for now i can afford to wait.

[Xoom General] kcrudup:
... or it could be that yes, you're just clumsy. I fly at least twice a week and my Xoom goes everywhere- the office, the home, the hotel (hell, it's with me in Mexico now) and I'm just not getting how you're managing to break the thing. When it's time to go I just toss it into my briefcase and go; no special handing necessary (except the gel case; perhaps you should get one?).
[Xoom General] patass:
It's not my xoom that's breaking.

I got my fifth replacement cable in the mail yesterday and the port on the xoom is fine. however, like two other cables ive had, the micro hdmi end on it is flimsy and loses connection.

My first xoom broke because a friend's room mate tripped on the cable, ripping it on the xoom, and busting the port on it that way.

This is my second xoom, and my first one was faulty anyway in that it randomly rebooted and the charging light couldnt turn green.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Ah, then I misunderstood.

Hi All,

I'm currently running DESIRE HD V14*GINGER 2.3.4_Sense&HoneyComB by boyppc: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062881 (first post), but I can't seem to get my job's Exchange account added. I've tried the stock Mail app, and I've also tried the trial version of Touchdown (Exchange for Android 2.x), but to no avail.

Previously, I was running a FroYo ROM by darkstone, but I couldn't get my exchange account synchronized then, either.

I don't think it's a setting on the server here, because I spoke to the server admin, and they were working with me to get it synchronized, but no matter what setting they changed, it still wouldn't work.

I've seen some chatter around the forum about using a different Email.apk, and things like that, but I'm not sure if that even really applies to my situation, or if there's something else that I could do to try to get it working.

Any help? Please?? :confused:

im in 11th grade and want to read an interesting book to expand my mind. I normally don't read.EVER.. but since I have gotten my xoom I wanna give it a chance. I wanna read a good book. not some boring book I would usually read in school for example lord of the flies..boring. someone suggest a book I might like and enjoy. I tend to like horror,comedy, and adventure stories :-)
[Xoom General] okantomi:
What reader program are you using? Kindle, Nook, Google. Aldiko? Some access thousands of free books, most published before 1923 (a lot of great books, but maybe not what you're looking for) so if you go for new books through Nook and Kindle for example, you'll have to buy them. My daughter has been tearing through Ellen Hopkins books (Crank, Identical, Burn) but they seem a bit depressing to me, and maybe more appealing to girls (who seem to love drama, lol). If you like horror, you might like H. P. Lovecraft--available for free.
[Xoom General] incrediblenotinstock:
i was gonna use Google books. I've never really been into books that much because all the books we read in school are extremely boring. I wanna find a book that has mystery and suspense..something that will make me wanna actually read more of it instead of just putting the book down.
[Xoom General] stevebakh:
I am Legend by Richard Matheson is fantastic, and it's a fairly short book (and quite different from the movie in ways that make you care about the protagonist a million times more). That should be a good introduction. After that, it helps to know what interests you. Science fiction? Fantasy? It seems you probably want some form of fiction to begin with, anyway.

Definitely check out I am Legend.

Or perhaps Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. It's a series of short stories and, in all likelihood, you'll enjoy his writing style and that will encourage you to check out his other books (I recommend Neverwhere).

Black Man by Richard Morgan is a thriller set in the near future that you may like. Quite a bit of mystery, if I recall and it's a good read.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman is also excellent; another sci-fi book.

[edit]

Some advice... when looking for books, I always try and read the first chapter to see if I take an instant liking to it. This helps a great deal in finding books that I want to finish. Usually, bookshops have seating areas for reading, but it's even easier with ebooks - as I understand, Google provide extracts or the first chapter before you buy. Try before you buy.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Horror: Dan Simmons - Summer of Night - fun and creepy

Horror: Dean Koontz - Watchers - fast moving & especially great if you love dogs

Sci-fi : Orson Scott Card - Enders Game - a classic
[Xoom General] Kippui:
1984 is a pretty good book
[Xoom General] Lars1967:
My favorite book in the last decade has been ""A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

It's informative and funny.

Try it out, you'll be glad you did.

Also +1 for Ender's Game
[Xoom General] nobylspoon:
If you have seen and enjoyed the movie Fight Club, check out Chuck Palahniuk's other books. They usually have you saying 'WTF' until the very end.
[Xoom General] nthknd:
If you like the twilight movies try the twilight series. Or the Harry Potter series as I'm sure many people can tell you the books normally are better then the movies.
[Xoom General] CalvinH:
Well, my 2 cents.

I think nobody should die without having read To Kill a Mockingbird from Harper Lee. It's one of the best books I have ever read, although being somehow old (60's or something).

I have read tons of books, and have loved almost all of them. I don't know. Some come fast to my mind: 1984, Christine (I love this one, as I do love cars), Jurassic Park, etc.

I enjoy books from Dean R Koontz (Horror), Michael Crichton (all kind), Robin Cook (medical related), Ken Follet, Stephen King, etc.

I really hope you find something interesting to read.

Regards.

Alright, I've had enough time to test out Samurai II: Vengeance and the verdict is it's good. It's not amazing, but it's very smooth, seems like an interesting story, and time consuming. However, it is the classic "Hit, hit, slice, roll" controls that can seem repetitive if that's not your style. Otherwise, for a gamer like myself I think it's worth it.

Fruit Ninja THD isn't worth the upgrade, but if you've never tried Fruit Ninja before, get THD immediately!
