[Xoom General] Duffyxy:
My wifi Xoom has no problem connecting at home with decent performance. Last weekend my wife and I were at a hotel where her Ipad connected and ran fine; I connected to the same SSID but couldn't get any connectivity via the browser or other apps. I checked with Wifi analyzer and although the channel I was connected to (Channel 1) had the worst signal of all 14, it still should have been fine.

I tried reboooting, etc. with no success. Ultimately gave up and (luckily) was able to use my wife's Ipad (version 1). Back home now and performance is fine. Any thoughts why this would occur?

Thanks much.
[General Questions and Answers] Haphim:
There's been a lot of news of late regarding malware outbreaks on Android.

What are the best apps to protect against malware? If it wouldn't cause a significant decrease in security, I would prefer an app I could use to scan files before running them, rather than a TSR app. But if that's what it takes, so be it.

What are the best ones?

Alright, so that one's out. Is there no such thing as a generally accepted top of the line protection app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
So obviously I go to XDA everyday to look up information and post things. Well this has been huge chore for me with this device.

First off I have found that the dolphin browser slightly edges out the android browser for being the fastest. Even the dolphin browser can't handle quick replies and posting from the XDA 2010 browser very well. When I switch to the classic theme I am able to get more done. If I try to blaze away in the the 2010 theme I will get double button pushes and a ton of mis spellings.

This brings me to my next gripe. Say I write a block of text in a quick reply window and there are mis spellings (which there will be with a software keyboard) trying to fix these mistakes makes me want to throw my tablet at the guy sitting behind me a work. The little green arrow never lines up with the cursor, and when I go to move the cursor it is just all over the place and 2 seconds behind my finger presses on the screen.

I would remedy all of this by using the XDA App but it crashes constantly.

Also trying to do things such as login to Facebook and browse around make the device want to roll over and die. JESUS MY CELL PHONE HANDLES FULL HTML WEBSITES. I can honestly say that if the text editing were better I could live with not being able to run the 2010 theme. But why the hell does Facebook chug so hard? And why cant this damn thing load the 2010 theme???? Its a text website with minimal pictures!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
so LOL

In editing that last post I realized that even though the arrow doesn't line up with the cursor it still functions correctly, you just have to deal with its random behaviour I guess. Also if you zoom considerably it helps a lot with text editing. Who woulda thought?

This still doesn't explain the poor performance on a lot of websites.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
The XDA app is working fine for me, and judging by other people's signatures, it's the same for them too.

On the other hand, the general browser stability is pretty poor over all. Dolphin and the stock browser will just quit on me without warning. I was loving Moreno browser on my phone (Droid X), but, while it renders perfectly well, it FCs too much.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I use opera, no real issues except with load time which feels slower.

As for keyboard I'm using the hacker's keyboard. I love it more than ASUS or default.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
You can draw the green arrow around after it appears if you're having issues getting it to position correctly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
I had a problems with XDA where I could not navigate to the previous page.

Most site work fine but on XDA and Yahoo when I hit the back button, it only refresh the current page and stay there. This is both the default and Dolphin HD browser.

The only one that let me navigate to previous page is Opera, I use it when I don't need flash.

On a positive note I just update to Prime v1.4 ROM today and it seems to be much better. It's letting me navigate back.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
Im using the prime rom as well and haven't experienced any force closes or problems navigating back. Only the editing problems and overall slowness.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] transceiver:
It feels like I'm using Windows 98 with Internet Explorer 6.

That said, most problems can be solved by rebooting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Its a shame this is such a miss, given it's the primary reason for the device to exist for many people.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
I can say it got significantly better with the 3.1 update and a modded rom, but its still not where it should be.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cerchiara:
So far what works best for me is opera mobile in desktop mode. See site below in how to set it up.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
i played with a zoom just now in the local big box, it was smoother - which leads me to believe that this is an asus implementation issue...thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] int_19h:
I own Xoom as well as Transformer. Stock browser lags like hell on some websites on both. Pretty sure its a Honeycomb thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
Well I was looking for this setting for quite a while! Now that I tried it I only found out that the dolphin browser is indeed still a little faster than opera. Thanks for the info though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
Would you say that they perform similarly performance wise?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
I did too, back when everyone was 3.0.1. The zoom and a500 played smooth in YouTube app while my TF struggled, although my video quality was much better.

I wondered if zoom and a500 had different HQ settings, wondered if all were actually using 720p, if HQ mode was really 720p for all the devices, or some were 480p scaled to 720p. That would explain to me any performance differences. With 3.1, this now called HD.

My YouTube app at 720p full screen on TF 3.1 is very good, no need to O/C to improve this app. Browser is another story, but I'm not convinced it uses H/W acceleration (yet).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cerchiara:
I find both dolphin and stock slower. Especially when scrolling. I only use dolphin when I need flash. Stock I removed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Interesting thoughts. The responsiveness increase I noticed was in stock browser and home screen usage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
I gave up. I really hope by tf2 both device and os have ironed out kinks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] straxusii:
At first viewing this site on my transformer was dire, it would lock up or been painfully slow. However now I find it absolutely fine, must be a combination of flash and 3.1 update I guess
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
Opera is the smoothest browser out there. The problem is, it couldn't release a Flash-ready version since it needs the Honeycomb source code for Opera to optimize Flash usage. So, it's only good for general surfing and foruming, but not watching videos or playing browser games at this point.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seh6183:
Opera is the only browser that can keep up with my typing at full speed on this site with the 2010 theme. Also while editing with the other browsers, it is so laggy that it makes it almost impossible. The 3.1 update definitely helped a lot, it made a world of a difference.

Is there anyway for me to Reverse tether on my samsung epic?

I would like to plug my phone into my computer and use my computer's internet on my phone

I saw that the HTC thunderbolt had that option right when you plug it in and it was called "internet passthrough" where it uses ur PC's internet right on your phone.

Please let me know!

When he plugs his phone into his PC he has additional option of "internet passthrough" which allows his phoen internet access through his computer

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0nin ar1es:
So is there a solution for this?

I didn't think this was possible, but apparently it is in someway. I myself would love this option as when I'm at school, my signal is terrible because of whatever mix of concrete and steel is being used to close us in. We share a building with a Verizon call center and they actually have worse signal then me and regularly see them outside using their phones.

I used to be able to use the schools WiFi, but now they use a security system that needs you to go to a site and accept a certificate that runs you through a Java based system scan, which doesn't work on any of the Android browsers, so I'm unable to use that.

So if this was made possible I would graciously not mind donating for the work it would take to fix this problem... after it was fixed.

if anybody can guide me how to get back to original windows 6.1 os of diamond 2 along with original spl and every other stuff needed as there is a hardware problem and i want to take my phone to service centre.

would really appriciate if someone can provide me step by step instructions in details

right now its upgraded to CR192 Mozart (6.5.3.0.6 wwe) with hspl.

thanks

For the software - you can download directly from HTC website the original ROM version (or official 6.5 version) and load to your phone the same way you did for Mozart.

For bootloader - check again in HardSPL thread - there is a download provided to restore the factory loader.

I'm afraid that I'm not a very high-tech senior citizen and apologize for this low-level petition for help.

Returning the unit to "warranty status" is not necessary. I only wish to return to the stock ROM.

HardSPL is installed

Current cooked OS is Duttys

Outlook is currently synchronized

Storage card is backed up

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20phileagles:
When I flash a rom and use it for a few weeks and then it starts random reboots and such, I've read that I should reflash the rom. Does that mean a full wipe and reflash, like starting all over again. Or does it mean to make a full backup and full wipe and then restore the backup.

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20phileagles:
Yeah Dawkins is the man!! I was running SR4.0 last but they all seem to slow down a little as time goes on. I was just curious as to whether I need to do a completely fresh start or if a good clean wipe would be sufficient then just restore.

I just flashed -Optimized Shift Sense 2.1+3.0 GB and It's retarded fast.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefyocum:
I still wear his Jersey the mans a beast. Anyway I don't think I run a rom long enough for that so maybe just clean the cache once in awhile. Newtoroot is awesome but I got bored playing with the new rom's cause there stock for the most part and very little to theme. Once the fun of the lockscreen and sense where off I was like ok. So now I'm running super z. So anyway I'd do cache wipes and dalvik wipes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I agree with you about ROMs, after running them for a while they slow down. In your case, if you want to go to recovery and clear Cache and Dalvik Cache and reboot (reboot takes about 5 minutes after clearing Dalvik Cache, it's normal), and see if it speeds it up, you'll still keep all of your apps and data.

If it doesn't speed it up, backup your apps/data with Titanium backup, and anything else you want to keep, then do a full wipe and reflash!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
Im always trying to try all the roms out there so I never stick with a rom to long... now im running Optimized Shift and its by far the best of all the 2.1/3.0 sense roms... getting back to your problem I have notice that the more apps you have the slow your phone becomes.. so I would recommend trying to keep only the apps you really need (In my case I only keep like 10 apps and I freeze all those that I dont need.) ... and see if that helps and I say this because this happened when I use to run Froyo roms...

Super Z is a nice option if you like the Z roms I use it before and is one of the best Z roms out there...

Hope I help...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20phileagles:
I believe between 10 and 20 is the most apps I keep also. Im just looking to get speed and battery life. Thanks for the answers and I think I'll try the freezing thing, i saw that but never used it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
Use System app remover to freeze apps and try the Super Z rom and see how it goes.. and if you dont like you can always nandroid and restore.. or try the Stock Sense 2.0 By Incubus26Jc those are good..
