[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Michael833:
I have several books in .pdf, .lit, and .doc formats. I converted them using 2epub dot com (too new to post links yet) but some of them didn't work, only giving portions of the page. Most of the books I tried had slightly funny formating after the conversion, with irregular spacing between paragraphs, etc.

Does anyone know of a better way to convert? Once I had them on my SD card reader found them and added them to the library quite nicely!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
Calibre works well for me (it's really more like an ebook library sorter kind of app but provides ample conversion options including batch convert and it's free).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayv81:
+1 on calibre i've converted 100's of books to epub. and the drag and drop method works for me also. reader app did a self search and loaded them in the app
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RizXiv:
Hi

In the internal memory, i created a eBook folder and put all my epub's in there. When you disconnect from the PC it will auto import to the native ereader. I do recommend Aldiko though, it's very good!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nxtwrld:
Convert PDFs or whatever with Calibri and them place them to the folder Digital Editions that should be on your sdcard. The ePubs will be automatically imported to HTC Reader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvd1991:
Hi,

I have the 1.5.3_10124 version of Kies

When i connect the usb, everything goes fine. :)

but then it shows:-

Model Name: GT-I9000

Current Version PDA:JP6 / PHONE: JP2 / CSC: JP5

This device's version cannot be updated. :mad:

PLEASE HELP ME OUT! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kova4a:
:confused: I just can't believe people still rely on kies and get confused and mad because there wasn't an update or something. Get the last version of kies and try with it. If there is no update for your operator then kies won't find an update. Even if there are gingerbread updates for other countries there may be none for yours, so you can wait for weeks to get one. All of you should realize how useless kies is and that if you want new updates only from kies you should be patient (it might take quite some time), you shouldn't get angry and you shouldn't make new threads about how come kies didn't find new updates for your device's version.

Then you can download Odin and start using android the way it was intended - like an open source OS and not a closed dependent one relying only on Samsung and kies.

Just use Odin and flash the new rom

Update #4: I previously thought Motorola would OTA to 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3 now that I'm seeing 2.3.4 builds. But, it looks like my initial projections were probably right. We'll be looking at 2.3.3 for the Atrix on OTA. Then, there will be a separate update to 2.3.4.

I was recently updated to a newer build: 4.5.47. This build was finalized on 05/24/2011 04:46:02. We've got a month more of builds already, which means the Atrix Gingerbread update should be nearing completion.

Read more about the Atrix Gingerbread update in July here: http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-headed-for-july-gingerbread-update

Update #3: Some more video showing the new Blur interface in action. http://briefmobile.com/motorola-blur-on-atrix-with-gingerbread

Update #2: Netflix works flawlessly on the Atrix with Gingerbread! Check it out: http://briefmobile.com/netflix-on-the-motorola-atrix-gingerbread

Update: Looking into three new root possibilities. Progress communication may be limited for certain reasons. Also, I posted new pictures on Facebook.

Here's a preview of Android 2.3.3 for the Atrix 4G!

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-gingerbread-android-2-3

Details

Android 2.3.3
Webtop: wt-1.2.0-76_OLY-1
Build: 4.5.40

A nice guy gave me this to see if we can get root and such. He requested that no one have access to the files, and I'll be keeping my promises. Sorry, guys!

Anyways, we can test out root exploits. All of the traditional ones seem blocked, including Gingerbreak. :rolleyes: I haven't tried beforeupdate/afterupdate yet. I'll be trying that later.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
too good to be true! haha!

Thanks Kenneth!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Just saw this on your website! Very exciting! I can't believe they managed to break gingerbreak on it though. Typical Moto. Is it an update or an SBF that you have?

EDIT: Someone brought this up on IRC. What about webtop?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I was given a service file that doesn't wipe data when it updates. I was pretty sad when I saw that Gingerbreak was borked.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jnewell05:
Hope this comes soon. However i won't update anyways. Not unless you can flash back to 1.26.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] martyotaku:
no disrespect but we all knew it was coming....now a real surprize would be a download link
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Fair enough. Can't give that to you. I'm sure a beta program through Moto will be announced soon. Then everyone can get their hands dirty.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
Wow, this version of blur actually looks pretty good
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Hey Ken. Any idea on when it will be available for non att users? (i.e Bell, Testra)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vigneshd:
I do worry about something though. Everytime I have flashed an SBF file my phone goes back to stock and I have to go through motoblur account setup and all that again.

However, with 1.83 when I flashed the sbf, it didn't really go back to stock. In fact, my fingerprint, go launcher settings, wall paper etc were all still the same.

Did this mean the flashing process didn't work alright?

I ask b/c i wouldn't want to miss a FOTA update of gingerbead.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
Finally

Looks dope ! Can't wait
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
No. There are two kinds of SBF files. Service SBF files and regular ones. "Service" ones don't wipe the data partition on your device. You're fine! :)

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-gingerbread-international-simultaneous-update

Hopefully Gingerbread comes out roughly the same time for users on all carriers. We'll see, though. I wouldn't get my hopes up for a simultaneous update.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
Kennethpenn: Please do be careful. It would be a bummer if you found a small tweak to gain root, which your nice friend relayed to the big M. You know this, of course.

Thank you for having the class to not simply leak the files. Restores some of my faith in XDA! ;-)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NoNameAtAll:
Best news I heard in a long while!

Any chance of benchmarking this sucker?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Looks great! Kinda wish it came with the stock Gbread keyboard though...Oh well, can't hurt to try out an updated Moto keyboard :)

Kenn, as far as you can tell are we finally able to customize the double-tap home feature, or is Moto still making us use their select apps?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
i can't connect to anything on the domain briefmobile.com? lol fail
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Still limited to about ten. Looks like a longer list, though. And, you can now select "none."
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Back online. Traffic killed it for a second!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Fair enough. The 'none' feature is actually all I really need. The app quickdesk could probably work with the double tap now if none is selected on the Motoblur end. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gr8Danes:
I wonder if they are going to soak this before they throw it in the wash. Ya think? ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aly19:
seeing as how this is coming along, I doubt we get ICS
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NoNameAtAll:
That's reassuring. However, unless I hear otherwise, I'll stick to believing in them releasing it in July. Which isn't too bad, but I'd love for it to be this month. And by this month, I don't mean the last few days of it. :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gr8Danes:
LOL.....what.....you didn't like the HSUPA update being promised for April......30th?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] darkamikaze:
All i know.. is I won't update to GB until we have root and the screen on/off animation back :P
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NoNameAtAll:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] phobos512:
You guys are seriously not going to update to GB just because of Moto having excised the goofy CRT-off-emulation animation? I turn all that crap off anyway. I don't want screen transitions, I want the phone to work and work quickly. If I wanted a toy I'd buy an iPhone.

I've only seen a Quadrant benchmark in this thread, can you guys run some others? Linpack and that one with the giant robots I can't think of? Also curious for some data on the wi-fi performance question as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AndreaCristiano:
Dude what's your malfunction. Obviously alot of us luke the eye candy as well as functionality. Its not just the crt. That's coming with gingerbread there is a while lot more

Also this stupid obsession with all these scores is mundane they do not translate in the least to actual real world usability. It's about the whole package why by a phone just to disable everything that makes it what it is?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:
i'm curious about the wifi as well, and the robot bench test is neocore
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bi0hzr:
just a few things to hope in the final release update to 2.3

fm radio (must)

gtalk video chat (this one probably be there)

hdmi mirroring (must)

1080p recording

720p 1080p decoding properly

webtop improve

unlock bootloader (even if this one depends on carriers, it can be ported by develpers)

some trasitions and animations (for me the less important)

any missing?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yeah my wifi drops constantly its a pain in the ass!! Hope they fixed it! :mad:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] msd24200:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimmer411:
Does it fix the lag?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bl0wf1sh:
I have join in and ask again about the WebTop... I would hope they can at least update it to FF 4.0.1, to move away from 3.6...

I can understand their desire to keep it a browser-only system though, since this means there is basically no way to break it (for the non-technical users). I am going to install teh Ubuntu mod soon though, since I want at least a decent chat client on the webtop... the browser performance is too weak to be running meebo.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shamdawg:
Does this have hardware acceleration?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
If you got people handing it out to you, then that is unofficial. Sense unofficial people have their hands on 2.3 for the Atrix, I doubt anyone will have to wait long for it. It's pretty much out.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edgeicator:
fm radio is doubtful

gtalk video chat is in 2.3.4, not 2.3.3 so not this update

hdmi mirroring is not in

1080p is not in

720p/1080p decoding on anything other than baseline h.264 is impossible with Tegra 2

webtop who knows at the moment

unlocked bootloader, very unlikely

transitions/animations are taken out
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I don't have the webtop dock, so I can't check out the webtop for now.

FM Radio - never happening on the Atrix

Gtalk video chat - coming with an update soon after the over-the-air

1080p - Also still "coming soon" but not in this build

Unlocked bootloader - never happening on the Atrix

Transitions and animations - Much improved in Gingerbread, cool inertial scrolling over-scroll glow effect and more!

As for lag, I never lagged on Froyo 2.2.2. It isn't faster than Froyo at this point. I'm confident it will be at least as fast by the time it is over-the-air updated.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
Why are you so pessimistic about the boot loader? ' never' is a very strong word.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mjh60:
Wow. That hurts...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
pretty sure he's referring to Moto themselves providing an unlocked BL for us. as for our own XDA's efforts, that's a different story :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] njinstantkarma:
Will the update utilize the dual core

Will the update take advantage of the dual core, and if so what improvements will be noticed... Battery life speed etc?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that since it will use the dual cores we can finally unlock the stereo speakers on our phones. One core can run each channel of audio =)

Will ice cream sammich unlock the 3rd core?

Kennethpenn, could you relink the briefmobile review of the unlockable 3rd core, I cant seem to find the link.

hey ken :) nice work on gb4 :)

About the effects on gingerbread...my wife´s nexus S has a nice animation/effect when she is "scrolling" her apps.

As far as i know, gb utilize dual core so i hope this update will make our atrix even faster.

I also experience wifi problem sometimes it won't connect even though i sit rite in front of the router. Weird.

Hd mirroring is something that i wanna know, it seems everyone is talkin ab this. What exactly is it :)

Animation will be a plus.

Keyboard will be very important. I hate the current keyboard. The keyboard sound depends on media volume which sucks. I hope the new one will have more settings.

Will gingerbread double my ram, give me a hexa-core cpu with less power consumption, enable CUDA and make my gpu run like a gtx580 but stay cooler than it does now, as well as unlock my bootloader, make motorola more compliant, make at&t nice and help the civil war victims in Angola?

C'mon guys... Let's not be retarded now..

I think my question about utilizing the dual core is valid! Isn't that one of the big features of gingerbread using dual cores otherwise whats the point of a dual core atrix? SO does anyone know the answer to this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Technically, it's not. This has been discussed in length several times before. Gingerbread doesn't use the dual core any more or less than the build of Froyo on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xfinrodx:
Agreed. I am also curious as to whether this pre-release build shows some kind of low level system utilization of both cores.

My (kinda rude now that I re-read it) comment was made not in regards to this, but in relation to the question floating around about whether it unlocks the phantom third core, and other near-equally silly notions.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] anupash:
is the banding of gradients improved in this Gingerbread build ? ... dats one place where the Motorola qHD loses to other screens ...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Honestly, the thing that pleased me most about the Gingerbread Blur video was the simple rotate animation. Say what some of you will about iOS, it doesn't change the fact that Android is, in general, pug-fugly. This is a cosmetic add-on I've been eagerly anticipating since the very beginning.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Ririal is correct. Don't worry about dual-core optimization.

Nope. Gradients are still terrible. I believe this is mostly a limitation of the *cough* crappy *cough* screen on the Atrix.

I couldn't agree more. Rotation is a lot more pleasing to the eye in these Gingerbread builds.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
So, apparently Motorola will announce an Atrix-like device for Sprint on June 9th. Maybe they might make announcement for 2.3.3 on Atrix then? Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but ya never know!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
I wouldn't expect a June 9th release. Right now we're looking at late June as the earliest. July may be more likely at this point. I'm basing this off of a few Motorola sources, which isn't a perfect basis for predictions. AT&T will have a lot to do with the OTA date.

June 9th announcement... maybe. Who knows! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] IrshaadH:
Man, I don't care when it arrives, as long as there are no bugs and international users are not neglected
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
So...everyone is telling that there is no dual-core optimization on gingerbread.

Does the next update 2.4 will bring dual-core optimization?

Sry to stay on this subject :( curiosity got me now :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
2.4 isnt honeycomb, 3.x is honeycomb. 2.4 is Ice Cream Sandwhich, and not much is known but most likely it will include dual-core optimizations. Thats still a LOOOONG way out for the Atrix though, given that 2.3 isn't even released yet
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LayzeeEyez:
Actually 2.4 is still Gingerbread - http://phandroid.com/2011/02/21/once-and-for-all-android-2-4-is-still-gingerbread/

I'm guessing Ice Cream Sandwich will be 3.5 or 4.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] saar73:
take a look at the date.. :)

Ice Cream Sandwich is in fact the 2.4 version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Rubb:
thank you for correcting me :)

Hmm I guess everybody here will have another phone by the time ice cream sandwich is released... :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LayzeeEyez:
Got a source? All the articles I see state that its still Gingerbread, while the ones that say it's Ice Cream are way more dated. And I don't think Google would go backwards on the version numbering either :P

LMAO! Couldn't resist to quote this :D

I love GB but without taking full advantage of the tegra dualcore and also not able to run Google Talk with front camera (only runs on 2.3.4 afaik) I see no point in upgrade. Battery life maybe... but i'd rather wait for testing.
