[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nielshtc:
I took some screenshots and found that the deforming doesn’t happen when you take screenshots. I guess I was a bit too quick with judging the other screenshots around the forum and even started doubting myself, but looking at the screen again it was still clear to me.

Seeing this difference actually makes me think that the whole UI resolution is in fact 1024x600 (like the screenshots are, and what all the software uses for rendering) but that the resolution of the screen itself might actually be different, which could explain the stretching over the screen.

To try and proof my point I took some photos of screen details in both landscape and portrait. Granted, it’s not a pixel perfect way of testing things but I tried to take the pictures as level as possible and then measured the pixels of the width and height of the screen details inside these pictures to see if there was a significant difference in ratio between landscape and portrait and apart from my eyes the pictures also say there is.

I put some measurements with it to compare and used both an app icon (Quickpedia) in the default launcher and a square picture in a website on the browser. I get what you mean with the patch 9 smart resizing btw, but I’m actually seeing stretching of pixels happening here.

So: landscape seems to be stretched, portrait seems to be squashed. This kind of makes sense if you take into account that the “native” orientation of the Archos screen is landscape. And that portrait is basically landscape but with the UI element reorganized and the icons rotated 90 degrees. So in landscape the 1024x600 screen content (icons and websites alike) is stretched out a bit to match a slightly wider screen, and in portrait you’re looking at a landscape screen as well only you’re looking at it with a 90 degrees rotation (which makes it looks squashed but is actually stretched as well if you pitch your head 90 degrees to the side).

It’s like turning your widescreen laptop to an 800x600 resolution. Everything renders to 800x600 but it’s all stretched out over your screen because the native resolution of your display is actually different. And when you take a screenshot of the stretched out interface and look back at it in your normal widescreen resolution you’ll see a fine unstretched 1:1 800x600 screenshot. So the screenshots of the Archos show that there’s nothing wrong with the rendering, so it’s not the framework or softkeys but that in fact the native resolution of the screen might be different from 1024x600 and is actually wider. Maybe Archos decided to configure Android to 1024x600 instead of the native screen resolution because 1024x600 plays better with general apps, or maybe with video. No idea. I would still love to see the whole UI in an unstreched, screen fitting resolution though. I even think the whole screen experience might look a lot crisper and nicer without the stretching since this generally blurs things (think of the 800x600 example), even if the difference is just a few pixels (like it seems to be on the Archos).

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
They were certainly restrained to 1024x600, because it needs to be 16:9, and a multiple of 8, especially if it's ever going to be google-certified. Also, keep in mind that you must use a resolution supported by the video chipset, which will probably only support normal resolutions.

As far as the lcd itself, it's native resolution may not be 1024x600, but it's more likely it just doesn't have a square pixel ratio.

EDIT: I attached the manufacturer specs for the LCD. It shows the Pitch as 0.2175 (H) x 0.2088 (V) mm, meaning the screen itself is not 1:1, but the native resolution IS 1024x600, so there is nothing that can be done to sharpen it, or stop the resizing. The math says it should be less than a 4% difference between landscape and portrait though, so I'm not that surprised you're the first to really notice. I did notice a bit before, but I thought it was mostly my eyes.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nielshtc:
Thanks for the very detailed answer! I guess I wasn’t taking crazy pills then :) and if it’s hardware related I guess that’s it then. I can live with that. I’m still curious if it would be possible to compensate for the stretch by making the width 4% less (983 x 600, am I right?). But that might make things a mess. I don’t know. This answer is clear. Thanks again :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
There's a small chance you could change the resolution to fix the scaling, but then the input/output will not be 1 to 1, and everything will be very fuzzy, like a flat panel that isn't at it's native resolution. (Because it WILL be a flat panel that isn't at it's native resolution anymore :))

[HD2 General] mrnick101:
The charging port in my HD2 doesn't work, have tried different cords and connections (wall/USB). Also I have another HD2 that charges fine with these cables.

My HD2 is still under warranty - but I have HSPL/MAGLDR/Custom ROM/CWM flashed

My SD card is FAT32

I got the original TMOUS ROM from the HTC website renamed RUU_Signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and put in root of SD card.

When I enter the boot loader it just sits.

I reformatted the card FAT32 in Windows 7 and put the file back, still nothing.

The red/green/blue/white screen says:

"SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE" and CotullaHSPL below that

I did read something about not being able to use the SD method w/ SPL > 2.0 - is this the problem?

Is there any way to flash the device w/o a usb connection?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
the sd card method, what size card are you using?
[HD2 General] ubejd:
try this ...

1. get a 2 gb sd card... make sure it works

2. format using XP - other hd2 that works -

3. Make sure battery isnt under 50%

try again to flash the rom
[HD2 General] mrnick101:
2GB SD Card did the trick

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BacteriaEP:
So I've been toying around with my PS3 controller, and Transformer (plus dock) all morning and for the life of me I can't get it working correctly.

From every article I've read you should just be able to plug it in and go, but whatever was working for those guys clearly is missing from my own Transformer.

Anybody else been able to get it working?

I'm also wondering if my dock didn't update along with the 3.1 like it was supposed to. I remember updating the tablet, but there was never a separate dock update like there has been previously.

I'm running version EP101-0209

Is that the newest version?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MOUSEY:
I noticed that it only works with certain games natively or you would need to map the buttons through the game's OPTION (if available). The only native supported game I had found is called "Cordy" which you can download and play from market for free. It would also be a good start to test your controller though.

Anyway when they claimed that it supports PS3 controller, I think they meant via the USB port and not via BT. The only BT supported controller is the Wiimote but you need to download a new IME to run with it. Hope this helps, cheers !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
PS3 controller with USB cable works perfectly in the dock. I tested it with SNESoid and cordy.

99% of market games will not work with any controller, they have to actually be coded for it to work. if the game has a key binding setting (like the emulators) then your good cause you can bind it and set everything up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johantheolive:
I also couldn't get it to work then realized you have to actually turn on the controller (long press PS logo) for it to work. doh
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BacteriaEP:
I should have mentioned I've been trying to get it working with SNESoid to no avail. It's not that it's entirely non-functioning rather it just doesn't read the buttons correctly.

Despite remapping it's very janky and, for example, the start button always goes to the home screen and triangle force closes the game.

Was there anything special you did to get it working with SNESoid or was it just plug in and go?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
I know I've been having similar issues with PS3 controllers on 3.1. The controller would be detected, would get all the keys mapped, but I haven't found any emulator/game that reads any input from the right joystick. All other buttons and the right one work perfectly. Tried it on two Sony Six Axis controllers and a wireless logitech with a usb dongle. All 3 do the same things
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
don't think i did anything special. took a bit for it to finally recognise it but then i bound everything and i had no issues. no issues with start or triangle.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
its not that hard, but for now, the app you use for bloatware is titanuim backup, its like your best friend after your nandroid backup, with titanium what you do is install it, it will probably say you dont have root but its ok, after it says that you will see a box at the bottom of screen that says problems?, click it it will ask you to install busybox, hit yes, after that app will be ready to use. so then you go to back up/restore and all you do is click what ever app you want to remove, but instead of uninstall you hit freeze, that way the app gets dissabled but its still there in case you ever need it.

also dont forget before you make any big changes on your phone, always make a nandroid or rom backup from recovery, so you have a fall back in case of emergency
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felacio:
First off, turn caplocks off, We can, and everyone else outside of a 3rd grade education can read lowercase letters just fine, thank you.

and second. if your phone is fully rooted it's really INSANELY easy to install a custom rom. but, there are guides for that so, I won't "bore" you.

For uninstalling bloatware, I love Titanium Backups, even donated for the Pro version that doesn't really unlock a whole lot that I use, I just use it so much I wanted to support the developer.

in Titanium Backups, select the middle tab up top, a list of ALL your apps will show up, you can choose to browse through them or search for a specific program. once you find it, back a backup first. Then uninstall.

word to the wise, be very careful what you uninstall, even if you think you won't ever use something like say.. "Stock" The stock market app.... uninstalling that can bork your phone, at least it did with previous versions of Sense based Roms, I have no idea if it still does it with an updated version. But, just a word to the wise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmoreboy02:
Ok first thanks for the quick replys. I downloaded the premium version and it did exzactly what i asked so thank you both very much.

Now to get off Thread topic for a minute. To the turn off caplocks comment...anyone outside of 3rd grade can read lowercase letters. I dont do alot of customizing to my phone so i dont get on here alot but when i do it seems like someone always has something smart to say. Not just my threads but all of em. Wether someone ask a question that has already been asked or someone mispells a word or some post something 5 minutes later then someone else. I seriously think some people just get on here to ***** and nit pick over every little thing. This is just a forum and the evo is just a damn phone.. If someone hits capslock or repeats a thread guess what....the damn worlds not gona end! Put down the phome and turn off your computer and xbox go outside and do something with your girlfriend (if you have one) and chill the hell out!

so usb tether doesnt work on android builds(at least none that i could find)

with wm 6.5 usb tethering works and comes up as a usable connection

so i know i have the dnis drivers to use usb tether.

when using android, anytime i would tick tether it says its connected but nothing happens on my desktop it really seems as the drivers dont support the android verision of tether.

can anyone explain how i can check the difference of whats being used between windows mobile and android?
