Best luck with your new toy,:)

Im curious to find more about the following one to the transformer, Padphone? or whatever ridiculous name they want to release that table with phone.....

Not in a hurry to change my device anyway since my tab is doing nice so far

[Galaxy Tab General] tylerg:
case in point

So, case in point --vv I DO want to be productive "without" my desktop!! I want sexy and light, AND productive! So far, it's either-or. As I've said before, I guess the Transformer will have to do for now! :D
[Galaxy Tab General] shaun0207:
I just got two Sprint Galaxy tabs off of Craigslist and I love them. Gave one to my wife.

If I had the money, I may have gotten the 10.1. But the only reason I really bout the tab is because my 80GB Zune broke. So I had to take all my movies off my 32GB Zune HD and put my music on it. So I'm really only using the tab for videos. Its a nice size and it fits in my pocket. I really didn't want a tab cause it made no sense to me, since I already have a Macbook Air I carry with me.

If I were you, I would put the money in a saving account and wait until September.
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
I think the 'padphone' may be my next device. It seems it would fit my needs almost perfectly.

I think a padphone transformer could be a contender for the 'one device to rule them all' title. Just imagine, an android phone that docks into a tablet that docks with a laptop style keyboard and trackpad. Best of all worlds?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Personally, im surprised you returned the xoom.

Ive both the xoom and transformer and the xoom is definetely superior if you dont mind the weight. I use it without a case most of the time.

Also, the screen is at least as good as the transformer (better colors, not as saturated), and certainly the battery life rules them all.

The iconia has a horrible aluminum skin that can only look good in some futuristic asian fantasy about robots and teenagers.

The tab has no expandable storage and im still not sure which of the tab designs will be released - ive seen two distinct versions and dont like the one with the bulge in the back.

I will keep my xoom and wait for the 8.9 tab before i leave the transformer as a test device at the office...
[Galaxy Tab General] Ricey:
The tab I'm waiting for to replace my SGT is the Asus MeMo 3D announced at computex.

Specs:

1280x800 7" IPS screen, glasses-less 3D

Android 3.x

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8260 1.2ghz dual core (Adreno 220)

1GB Ram, 32GB Storage

Sim Card, mini-HDMI

Front 1.2mp camera, rear 5mp camera

Built in stylus

A nifty bluetooth handset included called MeMIC that acts as a handset for calls, a remote for the tablet/music, and has a transparent LCD.

[Galaxy Tab General] tylerg:
re

Your going to try to tell me that the Xoom has a better screen and colors then the Transformer?? Then I'd find it hard to believe you actually have both, or have read any reviews. I had both, and hands down the IPS Transformer screen is far more sharp and vibrant then the Xoom. Its been proven that the Xoom shows saturation and washout when trying to push deep colors, and the TF does not. There are TONS of comparison videos on this, and it is undesputable! I understand that you likely just have your Xoom now, and feel it is the best, as you own it, and that's cool, but what your saying is simply not true.

I get 9 hours of battery on my TF only (pushing media, web surfing and docs/excel usage throughout the day), and 16 with the keyboard! My old Xoom compared with the TF just fine, but no, the Xoom wasn't as much better with battery life as you are saying!

To each there own, but IMO the Transformer really pushed through a nice product, when I felt the Xoom was too rushed. I'm excited for the Xoom 2 though!

Dream Tablet

How about all the features of the current T-Mo SGT, dual core processor, a working phone/modem in the USA, a SIM card that works globally and a plan that didn't cost $15/mb outside the US (or whatever your home carrier is)?

We live in a global world, are innundated with "green" concepts, but are in reality sold disposable technology that is virtually outdated before you unseal the shrinkwrap.

Like an earlier poster, I work in this world too, and I just don't get why someone (Samsung) can't come out with a device that actually does it all. Since everyone is pretty much used to buying a new device every year, if just one company could come out with a model that was fully featured and fully portable, instead of forcing consumers to pick this feature or that, they'd have a goldmine on their hands, and by the time everyone was ready for a refresh, they'd have a new model in the pipeline. Apple does this from a marketing and manufacturing cycle perspective, but their unit is too big and too locked down for my liking.

Just seems silly to keep buying and buying and never get quite what you want or need...
[Galaxy Tab General] jpanggy:
Nokia, Apple, Samsung and a slew of other manufacturers has the ability to do this. But in boardroom meetings and corporate strategy, crap decisions has been made and will continue to be made.

Case: Samsung Galaxy tab, proprietary(or one of a kind) connectors.

Why?: to limit unlicensed third party accessory manufacturers, to profit more from accessory sales (cable and charger for $15, dock for $50, Keyboard for $70 I think.)

Result: I ****ing hate their strategy, and at the end it actually limited the sales of their main device.

Why it keeps happening? Because the key decision makers that ultimately decide what gets put into these products are often times dickheads(my opinion only). They can be an executive in charge of sales/product development that tried to hit their KPI by these decisions. This is the corporate world, it's not about killing the competition sometimes, its often about how to get the bonus without getting fired and looks like having done an amazing thing in the process.

Apple on the other hand, has Steve Jobs, a focused leader that pushes really hard for what he wants, luckily for him, he wants a lot of polish. What his marketing team has done was just transforming his image from an ego-maniacal perfectionist leader to that of a tech genius. In a way he is a genius, but what ultimately helped apple is his ability to focus key decisions (good or bad) and this cuts out crappy executive decisions like what samsung had. They are closed and fully proprietary, but there is a consistency there, which enables them to be what they are today.

Most companies that are run by an executive is not as focused or consistent as apple. Look at samsung galaxy tab, Open software with a closed source connection (or hard to get). Google really needs to take charge if they want Android to be in the game. iOs 5 took a lot of android's advantage away. Google, please I beg you, step up your game and please put someone in charge of the market development. Someone that knows how to play this market game.

Pardon my rant at the end, I am just sad to see android Market in its current state.

Sony is working on a tablet, actually two (S1 and S2), one of them (S1) is really great, I mean awesome. I think they are planning to release the S1 in Fall.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civano:
hey everyone,

lately i've been having problems with flashing the stock 1.34 PC10IMG.zip file.

and below i will show you what is exactly going on.

i found the exact problem that i have , 2 other people got the exact same problem.

""I also flashed my DZ with a G2 rom, because I wanted to unroot and followed this guide:

"addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-g2-htc-desire-z-complete-guide/"

I thought it would work, because it seemed suitable for the Desire Z, but now I have a G2 rom.

My hboot version is 0.82 and everytime I try to flash with 1.34 or 1.72 (extracted from the RUU)but everytime when i see the sd loading I get the "Lack of heap!" error...""

That is exactly what i did, i also got the same boot version , but what i did after that is reroot , and put a custom rom on my phone. , i get the same lack of heap error...

What i've also tried is to flash through the pc10img and fastboot but then i will get a message"fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (571388 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

finished. total time: 0.005s"

So that ended up as a failure.

Anyone any idea how to fix this very complicated issue, hopefully some experienced people can help me! , i would really appreciate it allot!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
First, wrong forum. Second, you're going to have to clean up your problem description a bit, I have no idea where you're at in the process or what exactly is wrong other than trying to flash a rom on a device that it is not intended for.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budco2000:
i ordered this phone yesterday with next day air, just waiting on UPS to show up. I am wondering if it's 4G. No spec page that i seen says 4G anywhere, however the phone seems to have the right bands?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite GunnerX:
It is however, At&t is not known for having the fastest download speeds so take it as it is...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Yes, it supports HSPA+ on AT&T which, in theory, can provide up to 21MBs down. Typical ranges for those of us using the SGS2 in the U.S. are from 3-7MBs down. It works the same on dumb-phone and smartphone data plans. Do a search, there's a lot of discussion on how to use the SGS2 on a dumb-phone unlimited data plan for $20 a month.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
4G as used by the american carriers is just market bull****. What T-Mobile and AT&T markets as 4G is just what the rest of the world calls 3G.

The only current technology that is fast enough that I could agree to call 4G is LTE, which only Verizon has rolled out in the US afaik and I think AT&T is starting the LTE rollout this summer.

There is a _vast_ difference between HSPA+ and LTE.

To answer your question... SGS2 has HSPA+ with a max download speed of 21Mbps which is what AT&T has been marketing as 4G.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budco2000:
awesome, Thanks for info.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
In France (maybe in all of Europe) we call that 3G+, which is still marketing but makes much more sense in my opinion. So yeah if you ask me SGS2 is not "4G" since it doesn't support LTE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvoima:
UMB and WiMAX is also part of 4G technologies, and then UMTS revision 8 which is LTE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
3.5g sometimes :D

I didn't find the $20/mo unlimited us plans tho
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonflyFZX:
still not clear to me

Sorry but I am still not 100 percent clear on this one. I live in a developing country an use wimax for internet.

Is my samsung galaxy sii wimax capable? Is it a hardware or a software limitation if the answer on the first question is no.

Thanks

Yeah I'm coming back to Android for the 3rd time... HTC Magic > iPhone 3GS > HTC Desire > iPhone 4 32gb now getting Galaxy S 2 in the morning... Missed Android to be honest. Much better support at the moment than from iOS. Easier to fix challenges.

So the iPhone can scratch your head and apple can kiss your... So when you did you marry an apple product..

My Android can do neither of these.. Time to switch.

Welcome to the other side where the grass is greener.
[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
With Epsylon3 brilliant work, a new idea of flashing custom firmwares came to surface, allowing custom /system partition to be flashed directly from RSD Lite! This way you don't need to flash fixed SBFs and waste time with rooting and recovery install in case of system screw-up.

What you need:

1) MotoAndroidDepacker. With it, unpack sbf of the firmware you use as base.

2) Leave CG35(boot) and CG61(devtree) partition files, delete other smgs. Other files are not that important. You can delete all partition files if you're making backup for yourself...

3) Replace CG39(system) with your system dump:

adb shell:

su

dd if=/dev/block/system of=/sdcard/CG39.smg

copy CG39.smg from sd card to your firmware folder.

4) Compile sbf with MotoAndroidDepacker.

5) Flash your sbf in case of failure.

MAJOR CAVEAT: This sbf will work ONLY on devices with have same full SBF version applied last as your device. I.e. if you have flashed 3.4.2-107 and then upgraded it with nandroid to 3.4.2-177, the sbf you created from your system dump will work only for devices which flashed still 3.4.2-107 sbf last. To install such (custom) sbf, one would need to flash full 3.4.2-107 sbf first.

Technical: this is possible because of bug/feature in flashing process: system signature partiton is not checked if phone signature is already present. Phone signature is generated when flashing full genuine sbf and is verified aganist copy in sp partition and obviously differs for each firmware. It is stored at the end of the system partition.
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
Great news. :D

Some question:

If I install a full sbf. IE: 3.4.2-117 and then apply a custom ROM over it (CM).

So can I make a backup of my system and flash it again in case of any brick?
[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
You can make a backup for yourself and flash it again all you want until you flash another full motorola sbf. Don't forget to make data backups as well, this method can't replace nandroid / titanium!
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
Interesting...

So I can flash my base sbf, integrate call recording, 720p playback, wvga recording, root, swype on my language and other mods and create a new sbf only to apply these mods.

It will be usefull.... :D
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Oh great all of us asked this question when this section began in xda. So essentially we can make an sbf out of our phones and keep it and not worry about any nandroid backups.

This is a great discovery, thanks a ton.

Cheers
[Defy Android Development] michka:
So would it be possible creating custom bootmenus as these are updated by sbf's too?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
If your current system contain boot menu. The custom sbf also, it is identical with the current system.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
i think you can create a Full SBF with all original partitions and your "signed" CG39

I think it is not a bug... the thing is : i'm not sure sbf can work on other devices ... but anyway... it can be really usefull to recover device or to create a full backup with the good kernel made for the /system and /devtree

mbr and ebr are needed too, if the partition table has changes, you will have problems..
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
So the question is whether the signature is related to the specific part of every device, or it is universal as official sbf. Need to be verified .
[Defy Android Development] IE-coRe:
Does this means that someone could create a sbf wich flashs dierctly CM7 or MiUi?
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
It's possible too. ;)
[Defy Android Development] Domingo2010:
Where i can finde the MotoAndroidDepacker?;)
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Great news! But why are Android systems so complicated when it comes to flashing and banking up? I mean, with computers it's easy. You make an image of the system partition and you're done. Restoring is as simple as writing the backup back to the partition. So, why is it so hard to just make an entire nand backup that we can simply write back to go to a working state after failure?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
I made a custom sbf with nightly build in it . Then wipe and flash it, stuck at M logo. Bootmenu works, but it seems that it can't mount some partition , it's the same symptom when wipe in stock recovery in cm7.

Does it really need to flash a full sbf before the custom sbf ?
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
So if i wanted to do this i split my sbf, delete everything only leaving,

CG35.SMG

CG61.SMG

firmware.hmg

Then system dump and add that CG39.smg in and build and flash?

Have i missed anything? :)
[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
Well you forgot RAMDLD... One CG39 is enough if you'll flash this SBF over ver 4 froyo (not Chinese or Korean) but i recommended CG35 and CG61 to make such sbf enough to flash over system downgraded with fixed sbf + nandroid.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Is it possible to keep all files and just replace CG39? Or are files removed for a reason? Thanks for replying. :)
[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
You can keep all files, theoretically.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Well i made an sbf version of miui and it works :D

Wonder if it works on other peoples Defy? :)

Tested by formatting system and then applying sbf. Booted back into MIUI like a dream :D

EDIT:

Shame the SBF comes out at 300+mb :( May take a while to upload these things lol.
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
If I mount the CG39 as a loopback device in a linux box,

Can I just replace the contents and it will retain the signature?

Or the signature is based in a checksum?

Hi

i got a new t-mobile htc hd2 a few days back later

i don't know what happens to it first it get started and stuck on the main screen of startup "stick together"

and i go to market and now the phone do not turns on when i tried to turn it on

so guys please help me what i have to do now

any solution any custom rom--flashing please help me

thanks to all of you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkanubispr:
Hi! first of all you have to download the firmware pack provided by tmousa unless you have installed any custom rom...

If you have a stock rom:

1. download the stock rom from tmousa page...

2. press and hold vol down and turn on the phone; you're going to see the 4 color screen...

3. Plug the phone to your PC and make sure Windows Mobile Device Center recognize the phone if not make sure the qualcomm driver is installed.

4. Run the firmware update and follow the on screen instructions.

If you have a Custom Rom:

Go to stickies and follow the instructions of how Hard spl and install a custom rom...

If you have any question send me a private msg and remember to hit the tnx bottom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddygonzalez:
I thought I had Brick my Phone, But after reading this message I did the tmousa rom and fixed my phone!!!!

[HTC Incredible S] qexing:
Guys, i've made a incredible s kernel which with USB host mode (OTG) support :p

It's based on XSKernel, so this kernel contains 1.8Ghz overclocking support, thanks to l0st.prophet very much !!!

I merged usb host mode patch from here:

http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

and made some bug fix and improvment for incredible s.

I test this kernel only on Froyo rom, i'm not sure whether this also works fine on gingerbread rom.. ^_^

It's not very perfect, while this is current status in my testing environment:

pros:

--------------------------------------

USB keyboard : works fine

USB mouse : works fine

USB printer : works fine

USB ethernet card : works fine

wifi : works ok

GPS : works ok

bluetooth : works ok

FM : works ok

USB charging and AC charging : works ok

cons:

--------------------------------------

usb device mode functions are disabled, like adb, usb tether ...

If I use USB flash disk / USB CDROM with usb host mode enabled,

Incredible S hangs (they use the same usb-storage driver)

I have no idea whether it's relative to my Incredible S phone, so it would be appreciated if you would like to try to use usb storage device ^_^

--------------------------------------

I've post a usb host mode patch and config file here:

vivo-usb-host.patch.zip

usb-host.config.zip

the patch seems to be a little big, cause i upgrade asix usb ethernet card driver, the original version doesn't works fine, enjoy it ~~~ ^_^

=====================================================

prerequisites:

1. a rooted S-OFF incredible S phone (of course :D )

2. a self-powered usb 2.0 hub (must always has self-power)

3. A micro USB B male to USB A female adapter/cable

(a USB female to female adapter and a micro USB cable also works ^_^)

steps:

1. use attached PG32IMG.zip to update IS kernel in fastboot

copy PG32IMG.zip to the root directory of sdcard, in fastboot mode,

you can just update it

2. unzip modules.zip, use RootExplorer or other tools to copy all *.ko module

files to:

/system/lib/modules

3. power up IS phone, connect IS phone to USB hub's upstream port,

connect some usb devices, connect usb hub's power, wait for the charging

LED lights

4. wait about 10 seconds, open a terminal emulator, load kernel modules:

cd /system/lib/modules

insmod usbcore.ko
insmod ehci-hcd.ko

# use USB input device
insmod usbhid.ko

# use USB printer device
insmod usblp.ko

# use USB ethernet card device
insmod mii.ko
insmod usbnet.ko
insmod asix.ko

# use USB mass storage device (flash disk and so on)
# this may cause IS phone hang, it's on your own...
insmod usb-storage.ko

There is a picture shows USB keyboard works fine in my IS phone, lol ~~

If usb mass storage device works fine or any other usb device doesn't works fine in your phone,

you can just post "dmesg" output here, thank you ~~~
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
That is pretty cool, nicely done! Can't try it out as I'm stuck with S-ON for now but it's a great idea and I hope you find time to develop it further and iron out the bugs.
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
does the camera and youtube works?
[HTC Incredible S] qexing:
Yep, camera works fine, wifi works fine, now adb functions are disabled

usb host mode functions almost works perfect :p
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Are you sure camera and video works, cause the sources are for froyo and that breaks video on gb roms. If you've fixed it I'd love to know how cause its broken in XSKernel until HTC release the gb sources.

BTW, you need to post your sources for a kernel as it OS distributed under GPL, or the mods will have to take it down till you do, just a friendly warning.
[HTC Incredible S] qexing:
I test this kernel only on Froyo rom, camera and video works, i'm not sure whether this also works fine on gingerbread rom.. ^_^

And as you said, the kernel source is GPL licensed, i will post a patch which based on the HTC's released froyo source code :) - based on XSKernel may be much easier, lol ~~~
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Ah fair enough, yes it works fine on Froyo, break on GB :(

Damn HTC... releasing 2.2 sources only.
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
arghh.. i was this close to try and flash it...

zzz HTC...cmon..update this!! release it for GB!! we need it badly...
