[Defy General] farsight73:
I was wondering if defy on froyo firmware has this USB tethering by default so one can use it to connect the internet on pc using defy as modem connecting via usb cable.

The wifi hotspot work though but I'm looking at the usb tethering here.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlcn_droid:
Hi,

I have a bad situation with my device, which has gone low on battery and turned off and doesn't want to switch on again.

The situation is that the device can't neither mount nor format nor delete the "userdata" partition via ClockWorkMod Recovery, AmonRA recovery, fastboot, etc.

Now booted the device into HBoot and issued "ClearStorage" command - it hangs on "Clear emmc..." line.

fastboot -w goes forever until the battery dies and then it displays "too many links" error.

I was able to mount the contents of the internal storage to PC (obviously, not the userdata partition).

In attempt to use the parted mkfs command, got the input/output error.

I need a suggestion as to is it possible that the internal storage is damaged physically? Or - how to format the internal storage completely and erase all partitions if it is possible.

Also - I got another Droid Incredible device from which I have the backup - it fails to install when restoring userdata.

Please, help, I'm really stuck :)
[General Questions and Answers] Nietzschean:
Hello everyone,

I would like some advice from you guys as I think you know what you're talking about (and I don't in this area :))

Situation:

* not an IT'er, hence not informed about these things

* Current phone = Nokia E51

* Has a long battery life and hence very reliable

* I have a long commute to work every day

Lots of time (waiting) on the train

Would like a phone to mitigate the boredom

Expectations for a new cell phone:

* Battery life of minimally 24 hours

I want to be able to take it off the power grid at 7am on a friday only to have to plug it back in again around 7am on saturday with quite some power (20-25%-ish) to spare

* After having done the following:

some texting and a few minutes of calls throughout the day and evening

browsing/using youtube/watching some movies or listening to music for +-2hours

being able to go out with it at night and google some random stuff (i.e. checking which movies they're playing etc.)

without having to worry in any degree whatsoever that I'll be left with a dead phone in case something unexpected happens during the night (car breakdowns or other accidents, hospital visits, friends or family who urgently need to contact me, etc.)

* Other points of interest:

Budget doesn't matter too much, can be cheap and can be expensive

Screen needs to be fit for reading on the internet/some pdf's etc

No physical keyboard

I do not care about the camera functions

Already took a look at:

* Windowsphone / blackberry (Not my cup of tea)

* HTC (Have only heard bad things about this, and all the people I know who had one got rid of it)

* Iphone (Itunes annoys me, and so do the apple people who freak out about their cell phones)

* Samsung Galaxy S2

Was blown away when I saw this phone

Went to order it yesterday after having read unanimously positive reviews (techradar and such)

Then read about the battery life span which renders it useless to me (had no idea that people can live with that kind of thing in this day and age)

Cancelled it about 2 hours ago and got my money back, thankfully.

* Nokia 5800

link to phone

My brother has this and is happy about it

I can't imagine there's nothing better on the market than a 3 year old phone

So long story short:

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you guys might have for a phone that would suit me. Perhaps I'm too demanding for current technology?

Thanks guys.
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
When I got the Galaxy S the Battery life was maybe 8 hours. After rooting the phone deleting all the bloatware and installing a custom rom, Well.......... 30 hours +/-.

The point is battery life is soley contingent on how you set up the phone and what you do with it. Frankly, out of the box, Samsung sets the phone up poorly. That is how forums like these got started, They saw great hardware and sucky software.

Now, The S2 is awesome hardware, and the development on it is just beginning. I would recommend you read the S2 forum general and development sections. You are going to find that people have addressed the battery problem.

My Galaxy-S Phone I bought 2 batteries so I would never have to worry about battery...... now, I do not know where the spares are it has been so long since I have needed them.

I would be using the S2 if it was available here in the USA NOW. But we still have to wait 45 days more.

Read up on that forum here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055

Right Now the best phone out there is the S2

Stick with the Android Format it is way more flexible Win-7 is decent but not enough support, and win7 and Iphone do not make it easy to modify the phone.

Other than the email syncing advantage on the Blackberry it offers nothing else. Android long term is the way to go.

Hope that helps:cool:
[General Questions and Answers] Nietzschean:
Yes I followed that forum for a while, which is what made me cancel my order for the S2.

People are getting horrible battery life out of it that is nowhere near the 24hour minimum range I'm requiring, and I doubt they'll be adding 50% to the battery life it currently has.

On a different forum where I posted the same question, one advice that has come in by now is this:

Motorola Defy with Cyanogenmod that puts the latest android OS on it.

I'd like to have a few options though so suggestions are still more than welcome.
[General Questions and Answers] schmeather:
I would still go for the GS2 despite the battery issues it will be a great phone
[General Questions and Answers] Nietzschean:
There is no "despite" the battery issue :) I'm not buying a phone to babysit it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
The game gripper V2 is great for the price. If you are a rom player I highly suggest picking one up.

Mine came in a small, yellow, bubble wrapped envelope. The game gripper fits smoothly over the keyboard. The keys feel really good specially when pressing them. The key layout is as good as it gets. I had no issues with buttons hitting other keys. The pad itself feels cheap. It's bendable but I would refrain bending it.

I have three issues. First my L shaped car charger won't fit in the space provided. Secondly the head phone jack is covered. Third, above my d pad it looks like there is a small rip in the rubber material.

I'm going to get a small blade from a hobby shop to fix the two problems. I'll post more pics later on it. Anyway its worth the money specially since I can play games that are not rpgs with much more accuracy.

Current list of games that game gripper has helped me rock:

Gex

Mega Man X4-X6

Twisted Metal

Parasite Eve

Twisted Metal was the toughest since you need L1+2 and R1+2. I basically switched my layout for the gamepad. I took the two buttons next to were the square and x button should be and I made them L2 as R2 which are normally L1 and R1. Then I made the start and select buttons L1 and R1.
[Epic 4G Accessories] sc00ty:
I used a knife to cut an area out for the headphone jack. After using it with the headphone jack I see why they didn't pre-cut it out. Holding the gamegripper with a headphone jack sticking out the side is incredibly annoying.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
Yeah bro. The rubber was soft enough to just cut out the bottom portion of the hole for the L shaped charger to work just fine without impacting the game gripper at all. I'll upload pics after work.

As for the headphone jack I agree with you. The wire and the jack sticking out is uncomfortable so I don't think I'll add a hole for that.
[Epic 4G Accessories] latinmaxima:
I prefer my bluetooth headset any way for music and calls. If you can that would definitely be the best option.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
I don't think I've ever be in a situation where I would need headphones with the game gripper, wired or otherwise. It's a great idea though.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thesals:
FTFY 10CHar
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
Negative ghost rider. I got the Epic mostly to play roms. I love the keyboard but it's not accurate. I wanna see you play mega man x with the keyboard.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Brimah:
I have the game gripper V2 and love it. It makes playing most roms so much better. So glad I had decided on the Epic as it is the only one with a game gripper for my carrier. Only thing that could make it better and would easily buy another one would be if it had shoulder buttons somehow. Most games I can make due, but a few not really. I can make one out of the camera button, but thats it :(
[Epic 4G Accessories] Art2Fly:
You know, i really enjoy playing games, but i HATE that the epic runs out of battery so damn fast if im playing them. I hardly ever have a charger with me except at home, but today for instance when i was at my sons doctor's appointment, i was playing some nice asphalt 6 and i was 86 percent, we get called in 30 minutes later, and i was at 44 percent. idk how you guys can stand that....
[Epic 4G Accessories] bmx_boi32:
I never knew this existed thnx for this I'm getting one
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
The seidio 3300mah extended battery allows me to play roms for at least 8 hours. The back cover fits with the game gripper as well.
[Epic 4G Accessories] OperationMove:
The v2 is much improved! Trust me!

I owned both the v1 and the v2, and the only real difference in them both is the design of the D-Pad. Trust me though, its a big difference compared to the v1.

In the original GG for the Epic, you could barely feel the Dpad buttons when they were pushed. They worked, but had no tactile feeling/feedback. Which was terrible. This is what prompted the redesign. The new version has a much better D-pad "rocker" feeling and you can tell when you go from left to right, or up to down, when before it all felt like one big button.

I have owned both and I have to say, the v2 actually plays great, and I have almost no problem playing any game with it, even fighters! Just takes a little getting used to. :cool: Any NES/SNES/Sega/PSX fan should look into getting one!
[Epic 4G Accessories] solblack:
OMG I am so looking into this. The only game I have been playing is Pokemon Fire Red because I can't control anything else really.
[Epic 4G Accessories] kryptoniteman:
So you guys are saying don't cut out a hole for the headphones even if its L shaped?
[Epic 4G Accessories] sc00ty:
It gets annoying because your hand grips right where the headphone jack is. You certainly could hold the phone in a different position but that is uncomfortable. But, cutting out a little area for the headphone jack wont degrade your game gripper and it will work fine. So basically if you want to, try it. It won't make a difference in the quality of the GG if you decide not to make use of it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
+1

I am leaving it alone. Only place I would ever need headphones while using the GG would be at the library.
[Epic 4G Accessories] LunaticWolf:
Extended battery man!

I cut a hole for the headphone jack, and when I use it I just hold the phone so the plug sticks over my pointer finger or inbetween my pointer and middle finger.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Brimah:
I have been tempted to get an extended battery as I really like to play games when I have downtime and not at home, but worry about adding that much more to the phone. Went from carrying a somewhat small phone and an iPod touch to this.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Xhyperion:
It's worth it bro. I can play a full 8 hours of psx roms before needing to charge with my 3300 seidio. That battery, a bigger sd card and the gg were my best investments. I thought the extended battery would be bad only because I won't have a cover for my epic but I have yet to get a single scratch on mine and i've had it since day one.
[Epic 4G Accessories] LunaticWolf:
Yep! The soft plastic the new seidio cover is made out of does not pick up any scratches at all!
[Epic 4G Accessories] solblack:
Finally made the plunge to buy one. MegaMan is playable now! It isn't as good as an actual controller but it gets the job done. Can't wait to load my phone up with a bunch of older games!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
As the title says, will we have a ROM with samsung's latest ROM with touchwiz and gingerbread? I am specifically interested in touchwiz because it has gpu acceleration in browser and the UI in general. I came from a Desire in hope that I will get a better phone. Being able to play the latest games is good, but laggy browser, laggy custom launcher and frequent RAM memory leaks makes me want to trade this phone for something else. Its a huge epic fail from Google imo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
Not sure why i posted, might need to get some sleep
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShhMez:
I don't see why it couldn't be done.

I would do it if I had the knowledge, but I don't so I'm going to leave it to the professionals. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Are you running stock? Cause my phone is fine with stock I find it more stable then anything else the only thing I hate is the camera app and the ones in the market takes too long to take a picture, beside that as stock android goes is perfect for me at least
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkAgent:
While I would also love to see TouchWiz (I had a Vibrant before it, TouchWiz > stock imo), I don't have any lag issues with my Nexus S as I had with my Vibrant. Did you make sure nothing is on in the background eating up CPU and thus causing everything to slow down?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Damn you said you like touchwiz? Wow first person I know that says that you really need to try sense then
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
I loved touchwiz.. Gave me a reason to root and instantly remove it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrixl:
Check the dev section, if you have any knowledge you can even help out... seems the guy is stuck on a few things and is busy with exams...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Yes I've seen jonathon's topic, found it after I posted this one, sorry for not searching before :P

It's not about the cpu usage, that's fine, I'm only having memory leaks (ram). And the browser sucks when it comes to rendering images and flash content, it lags like hell.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamj1:
Looking at buying a Nexus S and coming from a Desire myself, this worries me.

Is this guy exaggerating, or is this really the experience? I was expecting it to be just the same as the Desire, if not better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Desire runs sense right ? and is way different story, if you use to cm7 then nexus s is great latest update all the time and most likely get ice cream before anything else, if you don't. Care about SD storing and sense this phone makes perfect sense if you do then better go with HTC
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamj1:
My Desire runs sense by default / stock yes. But I'm rooted and already running CM7.0.3 on it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Yeah that's what I thought I had the evo 4G supersonic and sense have some nice features but I went with cm7 I like it a lot but after a week the rom will run into bugs and it will drive me nuts like whencalling the proximity sensor wouldn't work right or get stock in alot of apps, so when they announced this phone I waited cause I don't like T-Mobile now is in sprint so I got it and not bugs :) and I miss the camera app from sense or cm7 but I'm happy tho
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Believe me, coming from a Desire you'll feel a huge difference in web browsing. The browser in the stock android isn't gpu accelerated as in HTC Sense, so loading flash content or big pictures is practicably impossible, it slows down the phone so much!

Another issue that is bothering me is that the Nexus S has in reality about 300mb of RAM (~200mb RAM are used by the GPU). The system uses about half of it, so you're left with 150mb RAM to handle the apps, which is extremely low. Especially when you open the browser, you're sometimes left with less then 50mb free, which slows down the phone. So everytime I browse the internet, I have to manually kill the app after I'm done, cause I run into a memory leak.

Also custom launchers (launcher pro, adw and others), when filled with 4x4 widgets and have about 4-5 screens, scrolling is not smooth at all. This is because the UI isn't gpu accelerated as well, its handled by the CPU. So unless you OC it a bit, it will be slugish.

I'm pretty disappointed in certain things after coming from an HTC phone (their UI really kicks ass), but the nexus S has a superb display (be it SLCD or S-Amoled), has far much better hardware, enough internal memory (16gb is enough for everyone imo) and a much better battery life, that I can tell it for sure.

And still, all in all, if I knew nexus has these problems with the RAM and browser, I would've probably bought another HTC Device, maybe the Incredible S. That doesn't mean I'm not satisfied with this phone tho, can't wait for icecream sandwich.
[Nook Color General] holgalee:
How do you use the NookColor compared to your smartphone?

I use it more than my phone to surf the net and I've also got some apps that I don't use as often.

Just curious about how you use your fabulous machine!
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
It's completely replaced my netbook. Browse the web, download torrents, watch Netflix, bang out a document, play a little old school gaming. Nook Color does it all.
[Nook Color General] lazinase:
It just replaces the gaming part of my Nexus One as Nook Color has a larger screen. Also, I don't want to miss any call because of no battery...
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
It just replaces the gaming part of my Evo 4g as Nook Color has a larger screen. Also, I don't want to miss any call because of no battery...
[Nook Color General] ramiss:
It replaces my laptop for all things that don't require a lot of keyboard or mouse work.

So far I still prefer the laptop for web development and Photoshop.
[Nook Color General] _jonte:
I use it as a complement, somewhere between my laptop and HTC Desire.
[Nook Color General] hololight:
Replaced my laptop except for development work.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
If I have the Nook Color with me, I'll always use it instead of my Galaxy S Vibrant.

However I always have my phone with me. But I don't always have my Nook Color with me. I won't drag a 7 inch tablet to the movies, a doctors appointment, waiting in a line at the bank, etc, so that is when my phone gets used.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
I use my Nook for casual gaming, internet browsing, Netflix (now), and eReading mostly. Those are things that I think are not that great on a tiny phone screen.

It suits most of my needs for a tablet and as much as I have this ongoing fantasy of buying a Transformer or some other "real tablet" I am not sure I will just because I don't need it as the above list would be most of what I do anyway.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
since I'm a kid and I don't have a phone, I pretty much take it everywhere.
[Nook Color General] james robinson:
I use my NC to browse the web, listen to some music, gaming, Bible reading, Netflix, and the list goes on and on. I have a netbook and a desktop that ate currently collecting dust!!!
[Nook Color General] bachviet:
Web browsing, games, reading, netflix
[Nook Color General] mikeofny:
I would almost give up my netbook and laptop. The only problem I have now is that I have my docs stored on Google. I use the Google Docs app but can't share files as attachments.

Other than that, I use it browsing and movies and some gaming. I even use it for reading...

[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
My evo stays in my pocket, now, except for calls. My netbook stays in my bag unless I need to type out something long or a PC exclusive task.

With my nookcolor I browse web, irc chat (andchat), read RSS (Feedly), send IMs (trillian) and SMS (Google voice), stream podcasts via Bluetooth to my car speakers (beyondpod).

I'm tethering right now. My beautiful Evo is now a dumbpipe for my nook. It's bitter and unloved :)
[Nook Color General] whisper14072:
For me replaced my laptop/netbook I was using. My main tower is now the HTPC.. I use Team Viewer to remote into it for torrents and such. Not a big gamer so I do alot of forum reading, researching and such on it... also stream music from my tower.... trying to figure out video streaming...lol
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
Can't you use Documents to Go for that? It is what I use and I am able to edit and email my documents as attachments.

I use my nook for just about everything like movies, netflix, reading, surfing, and texting with Google Voice. It is usually at my right hand side while I am hanging out or watching TV. It is also an awesome commuter device. My old Mytouch 3G is really nothing more than a data connection but it had a good life.
[Nook Color General] bj in RI:
My nook color is..........

I love(d) my Original DROID. Best phone ever. But, I always coveted the *phone. Up at 2:55 AM the day it could be ordered from VZW. BIGGEST mistake of my life. I reverted back to my Droid as my PDA. Use that other phone as a phone (except when out and about).

When I read the Nook Color could be rooted, I couldn't get to BN fast enough. Now that I've rooted (SD) my NC, I am in heaven. I prefer to use it instead of my laptop (haven't touched the desktop in years). How nice to play WordFeud and other games on a "big screen", d/l Angry Birds without having to pay a scalpers fee, d/l "classic" novels without having to pay. I do still make a donation to BN every now and then.

ciao for now

[Nook Color General] zenaxe:
Since getting the nook it's carved a niche between my Droid 1 and laptop. I basically use the droid as a phone/camera and as an on the go pda when I only have 3G data. When wifi is available I use the Nook for everything else I used the Droid for: basic www, PDA functions, news, reading, games, etc.

At home it lowers the amount of time I pull out the laptop for trivial www stuff like looking up a movie time, sports score, weather, wiki entry. for work or creating documents, I use the laptop. For serious gaming or music recording, I use a desktop.

I use both the droid and laptop much less frequently overall. The droid in particular since the small screen size is just ulra unsexy after using the nook.
[Nook Color General] NYwRiter94:
Alright, so I just got my NC finally set up and everything, but the WiFi only is a huge problem for me. I have a Droid 2, and as far as I know, I can't do any tethering with it unless I pay the 3G mobile hotspot fee (if I'm wrong, someone please explain to me). So how do you all utilize Netflix and the web and everything else when you're on the go?

Oh yeah, also, no one has really commented on just HOW portable the NC is. Both my friend and I were able to fit it into our shorts' pockets today. Unbelievable.
[Nook Color General] jhare:
Well I read on it of course. Love watching videos on it (netflix,avi). Great for porn. Ohhh one of my favorites, browsing the web from the toilet :) just what every man dreams of lol.
