What are you basing this on? Not according to Amazon...only 7 reviews and three of them are terrible.

[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I am basing this on real life, not amazon reviews.

Edit: what is it 7 or 3?
[Nexus One General] efrant:
It's not so much the "class" of the card, but the real-world performance of the card. I've seen class 4 cards preform better than some class 6 and higher cards.

None of the manufacturers are consistent with their markings.

There is no way to tell a fake one from a real one by just looking at it. to be safe, buy one from a brick-and-mortar store, where it is easily returnable. Don't buy it online unless it is from a well established retailer like Newegg.

Why makes you think those brands are the best??

1) Not sure, but I'm sure if there is, it would be listed on their website, or one of their CS reps would know...

2) Call the company (or look on their website) to find out...

I personally would group all four of those companies you mentioned in with SanDisk at the same quality level, but that's just me...

As you said, they don't specialize in flash memory, so chances are their products would not be as bleeding edge as SanDisk/Kingston/PNY/Lexar/Transcend.

It depends!

I have been using a 16GB Transcend Class 6 card, for the past two years or so, and have had zero issues with it.

I also have a 16 GB SanDisk Class 2 card (although I don't use it in my Nexus One), and again, I have had zero issues with it.

I certainly would not put any faith in reviews on Amazon, etc. If anything, I would look at a reputable tech review site like tomshardware.com or anand-tech.com. Otherwise, buy and try, and if you are not happy, return it.

Wow! Major thanks for that reply! Was very helpful!

I have a SanDisk 32GB Class 2 card that I've been using for about 6 months. It's performing almost as well as the SanDisk 32GB Class 4 card listed in the CyanogenMod SD Card performance wiki table. Using the same testing protocol, I'm getting 5.67MB/sec writes and 11.28MB/sec reads.

[Acer Iconia A500] tablelegs:
Hello all I am typing this on my new iconia. The tablet seems to always want to use internal memory for everything (pictures videos etc.)and does not offer app2sd or a way to even navigate to the microsd card without a 3rd party app like astro, so what is the SD card intended for?
[Acer Iconia A500] CrArc:
It is a little odd there's no mention of it in the default file browser, isn't it?

It's not a primary feature; not when the tablet itself sports 32GB of storage, I guess. It was enough that Android supported it, so they bunged it in just because.

If you've filled up your 32GB I can see how it would be a hassle trying to use the external SD card as easily as you do the internal storage.

[Acer Iconia A500] tablelegs:
Well my tablet is a 16gb and is running out of room due to offline maps. I had not really considered that the data would be handled differently than an android phone where the app lives in internal memory and the data was on the SD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
I've moved all of my video and music to the external SD card; PowerAmp has no issues with the files being there (and has an option to look in any subfolder off /mnt/ to find the files.)

Since most of my music is in WMA format I don't use the default Music player very often and don't know if it's "smart" enough (i.e. been told) to look in a /Music folder on the external card.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
Ok just got my Nexus S from Rogers yesterday!

i started off with flashing CMW, then rooting! then putting on Infin1ty rom!

I charged my battery last night to 95%, (probably overcharged a bit cause i fell asleep), i woke up at 7ish am and started using it and now its 9:50 and the battery has drained to 57%. I was using it pretty heavy and this is off of the 1st charge, that is normal right?

Questions:

1 - Does the evo battery calibration trick work with the Nexus S? Charge fully, kill battery, charge fully, kill battery, then charge again and it is calibrated?

2- What is better? Power off and charge when less than 15%? or just multiple minimal charges in increments? such as charging anytime i feel like it? haha

thanks for the help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewestate:
If your starting with a fresh install and a fresh batterystats file(like you are). Using the process you describe above for your Evo will work for calibrating the NS. As for your second question. While in the calibrating process of a battery, I always run the phone until it turns it self off, that way the actual 0% voltage is calculated, followed by an off mode charge on A/C charge for 8-12 hours. By charging while off you are allowing the phones hardware charging circuit to determine a full charge rather then the os battery driver(which is uncalibrated on new install).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123go!:
Is the battery driver uncalibrated just because he rooted and installed cm7? What if he had left it stock, would it still need to be calibrated? Do you know what I mean?

My local Walmart dropped T Mobile in the past week. The Best Buy mobile store at my local mall has as well. Do they know something we don't know? Just seems funny. Is Tmo still at your local wallyworld?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
Out here in northern California, you haven't been able to buy T-Mo at Best Buy for a couple of years. I think it's nothing more than a contractual thing cuz you can still buy T-Mo at Fry's. Could be that T-Mo didn't want a big chain retailer competing with them or just that they wouldn't cut the deal that Best Buy wanted. The other thing you could try is to ask someone at Walmart. They may not know but you won't know till you ask.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Those two are the most consumer unfriendly store out there - it is all about margin (on everything ate WB and big ticket items ate WW). If they are not squeezing enough out of the deal - the would drop anyone.

Tmo deals are available everywhere (best ones directly for TMo retention), so probably getting hard for Worst Buys and Wallyworld to skin off enough from their sales.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Camille68:
Was at a WalMart last night (not my regular WalMart) and saw the T-Mobile display there. My local, regular WalMart still carries it, also. So, it must not be universal.

Sidenote: This was the first WalMart that I had ever seen an actual wireless department set up outside of the electronics department. It was in the front of the store, so it was like one of those mini-stores inside WalMart, and they only had Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Maybe it is like a previous poster said, for the stores that no longer carry T-Mobile, WalMart and T-Mobile may not have been able to come to a contractual agreement that everyone could agree with.

ETA: It could be the same as the scenario where my former employer is an eyeglass & contact lenses retailer, and used to have their own spots inside WalMart. About 10 years ago, WalMart decided that they wanted to launch their own eyeglass & contact lens min-store inside the stores. So, as each one of our store contracts ended, WalMart was not renewing them, thus allowing them to do their own thing.

make sure he/she reads all the things before he does anything. also, warn him/her the official 2.2.1 is more sluggish than 2.1.1 even though it has some new features, make sure he/she's prepared for that. if he/she ever decide to root with official 2.2.1, it will be more difficult and has less customization.

You can look for espresso_signed_040511_005057.zip, which is a ROOTED version of the official Froyo release, it has HBOOT 0.52 (so can still be S-OFF'ed) and can also use data2ext or app2ext features (I use DarkTremor's a2sd).
[HTC Incredible S] Smkiller:
Hi guys,

I'm using a Bell Incredible S that I just S-OFFed with the alpharevx tool. Now I'd like to flash my phone with the WWE Gingerbread RUU (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed), but there is something i can't quite figure out.

In the bootloader, it says my phone is S-OFF.

So I downloaded the RUU, got the rom.zip file from temp folder, renamed it to PG32IMG.zip and transfered it to the root of my SD card.

Then I booted the phone in bootloader, it loaded the file and finally said "Model ID Incorrect".

Anyone knows why it isn't working? I read a lot of threads and seems like it should work even though my phone is with Bell if it's S-OFF. Is there a step that I've skipped or that I should've done that I have not?

Hope that someone can help me out!

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
When you get the Model ID is incorrect, then that means that you need to flash the RUU using a goldcard because the S-OFF process did not change your CID (carrier id). A goldcard lets you flash ROMs that has a different CID than your device does.
[HTC Incredible S] Smkiller:
A lot of people here said it was impossible to flash stock roms on the IS from Bell with the goldcard method. Will it be the same for me or is it supposed to work now since I'm S-OFF.

If that doesn't change anything for the goldcard method and I can't flash the stock rom, so why would I want my device S-OFF? I want in any possible way install Gingerbread on my phone.

Thanks for any help!

(I read a lot of topics about this and know how to root or install roms, but I think the problem is my phone is from Bell, and I know some people had problems with Bell ISs, so if someone knows! it kills me not to have Gingerbread on it now!)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Now that you are S-OFF'd, you can flash any of the GB ROM in the development section.

If you cant flash the device isn't properly s-off sadly I had the same issue with my bell incredible s but I just re did with the xtc clip but ya with that error u may re need to do the process

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeanclaudevandamme:
I've begun to notice that Yahoo and Gmail have been telling me there have been access from Germany such as 195.124.9.241, which comes up as Verizon Germany and I see the word social hub in there somewhere too.

Unfortunately there have been spam email sent from my inboxes to my contacts and the times of sending email corresponds exactly to one of the times while "logged in" from Germany.

Question is, does Samsung really route all it's requested data traffic from users in the UK through Germany? And do you think my phone/samsung emails been hacked or what?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PetoG:
same problem here... what is it???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
i was curious about that and did a tiny amount of research and found out that verizon germany only exists for companies and government agencies and looking up the ip address gave me this: http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_lokalisieren/195.124.9.241 as a first result. it says that it is SAMSUNG SDS EUROPE LTD (nat-egress-g-01.fra.samsungsocialhub.com). so it seems that your account has not been hacked but that is an actual route for the social hub.

however, spam sent from your email address can still happen, depending on what you did with your address. if you ever posted your address openly on the internet, you are likely to receive spam, but also to be used to send spam. there are so many ghostmailers out there, that don't require your actual login credentials to use your address as a sender and also there are many apps on the market that request to many rights. simple free card games request the right to send sms, call, and read out your imei, contacts and existing sms. that is malware that is able to grab your contacts' information.

also, these days, people tend to care less about privacy, just have a look at the google+ threads and the dozens of people openly posting their email address for millions to read and for bots to grab. facebook and google live from selling your personal information as well.

in conclusion: by not being careful it might easily happen that you give your contacts' email addressses away to receive spam, and your own to send spam, but that does not necessarily mean, someone else actually has access to your google account or whatever email provider you use besides google. but since there is of course still a chance that your account might be hacked, you should still change your passwords for your email account and every site you use with that account (as people that read your inbox might have read what you do on the internet and got that password as well).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I had this happen once also. I flashed several different ROMs and even went back to stock twice. It would refuse to download MMS at all no matter what I did. It saw the messages but wouldnt download them. SMS still worked fine.

And then it just started working again. I attributed it to some glitch within ATT.

However, I never tried wiping the caches as suggested above. I would try that for sure. If it doesnt work, try calling ATT? My phone was a work number and customer service wouldnt talk to me about it without the password which I didnt have.

Report back if the cache clearing works in your case so others can learn.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes you have to be connected to att 3G. Mms doesn't work on wifi
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazed4now:
wiping the cache did nothing, i guess it requires att's service because i broke and gave into their stupid 2gb plan and now i can recieve them. thanks for the help though guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes it does require an ATT data connection. It was one of the main things I tell people when they want to block data on their contracts. If you have data blocked then mms don't work as each mms uses 1kb of data that you don't get billed for as it is covered by the messaging plans.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying Scotsman:
Currently I am using this RomHere

(I was forced to because when I flashed an update to the Superuser app, it worked fine, but when I turned it off for the night, the phone wouldn't get past the 'HTC' startup screen, and trying to factory reset/ flash an RUU didn't work)

When I was using stock Froyo, the battery life was moderate. It *normally* used to go down around 1% every 2 hours or so in idle. Since I've flashed this new rom, it seems to go down 1% every 30 minutes instead, Even with the screen off and the phone fully off, the battery drains horribly quickly.

Any solutions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
That is the rome, dude. Sense2.1+3.0 drains more battery than stock froyo. That's the price. ;) And 2%/h is not bad for sense roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying Scotsman:
It's that bad? Is it the whole of Sense which drains it, or more specific apps/widgets?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
No, imho it's not.

Sense and the inherent runnig apps/widgets.

But with setcpu and a screen off profile (245 min 245 max @ondemand governor) you can really improve your battery standby power. You can download this paid app here for free, because you are an xda user:

Out of interest, does it damage the phone if it's underclocked? I'm just worried that I'll burn the CPU out f it is underclocked and clocked back to stock if I frequently turn the screen for mundane tasks like checking the time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyko:
I recently flashed to that ROM too - and I agree, battery power seems to be draining slightly more quickly than what it was originally (it could be because I'm playing around with settings and exploring new features). But probably not so much more that I'd be worried... left it charging overnight, and seems like I will be able to get a full day of normal use out of it (currently ~65% left and ~3hrs till i get back home).

Maybe double check your sync settings? possibly they've reverted back to sync-ing more often?

Otherwise, I guess you can go for a lighter ROM (i believe cyanogenmod will use less battery since it doesn't have Sense UI).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
Actually, the battery does go down faster on InsertCoin 1.0.8 if you use all the Sense 3.0 goodies for example the weather lock screens, weather widgets, and the windmill-thing live wallpaper, which also changes its apperance with the weather.

Those literally suck the battery out, 40% only in 3-4 hours.

I have tried to deactivate those and the battery live is back to normal.

...the only problem is...those goodies will make your Desire super duper beautiful...it was for me a very hard choice to turn those off :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
Dunno about that but nothing bad has happened by me and I have been using setcpu for more than 8 months.

I use set cpu to speed up my Desire a bit, I set it to 128 - 1136 with smartass governor. (carefull by setting higher frequencies)

tips for battery saving:

- turn off sense sync and any unwanted syncs

- reduce sync intervals.

- turn off automatic brightness control, and set it as low as possible but keeping it still visible.

- use smartass or interactive govenor on setcpu.

- turn the internet connection off if you are on low signal strength.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyko:
Yeah, the more animation, the more battery use. I think the only one I use now is the weather widget... though I actually prefer the old sense 'simple' animation, not a fan of the sense 3.0 videos... got to find a way to revert to the old one! (using clock lock screen.... prob chews up bit more battery than plain wallpaper, but oh so pretty!)

I am running nightly version 102 off an SD card which I set up per verygreens instructions. It works great, but I was thinking overclocking with dalingrin's latest kernel. Here are my questions:

1. While the previous instructions (by verygreen) indicated I should unzip the OC zip file, rename the kernel "uImage", then copy to the 1st partition of my SD card, it seems like what I need to do now is copy the zip file to the 1st partition of the SD card, boot into recovery mode and the kernel will install. Is this correct?
