[Galaxy S II Accessories] tiesto4:
as i said

i want 16gb but don't know which class and brand to take...

my main concern is recording video in 1080p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ragflan:
I have a class 10 Lexar 32GB Card.

You should buy a brand name card (Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston). I say that because there are IN GENERAL more reliable. There will be cards that are made by lesser known brands like Patriot and A-Ram but that does not mean they are any less reliable but more faults are reported for them than with Sandisk, Kingston or Lexar.

Having said that, my previous card was a 16GB Class 6 Patriot card. Worked awesome for a whole year and is still working in my friend's Desire (gave it to him and got the Lexar card for more space). In conclusion, don't buy eBay cards is what I'm trying to say.

Class? That's been debated A LOT. I got a class 10 and I can clearly see the benefit. Media Scanning is less than 10 seconds (mind you, I've got close to 38gb full in both internal and external cards), file copying is very quick and gallery files show up quicker, when I seek in a video file, it moves instantly (even with a 1080p movie).

It just depends on what you require. If you're slightly more patient, you can save 30-40 bucks by getting a 32gb class 2 card instead of a 32gb class 10 card.

Hope that helps. I recommend both Lexar and Patriot. Go for class 6 at least if price is not an issue.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tiesto4:
i checked the reviews on the lexar 16gb class 6 and kingston 16gb class 10 and it wasn't so good...

and kingston 16gb class 6 i didn't found
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chattymango:
I have ordered Kingston 32GB class 10 for my Galaxy S II.

Contact Lexar but they don't do SD card business in INDIA.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tiesto4:
the 32gb cost to much for me ... and the 16gb class 10 still cost 60$ i'ts still very high

and the lexar 16gb class 6 the reviews are bad , they say that after couple of weeks the card stop woriking
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Stitch!:
sandisk class 4 I have does this just fine. Paid 45 euro for a 32gb card. Higher speeds are only needed for hight transfer speeds.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tiesto4:
from what i know higher class needed for recording full hd videos

because of the transfer speed

and again 32 is too expensive for me 16 will be good

but if 4 class of sandisk will do the job ? or i need to search class 6 on another brand ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gchildz:
using kingston class 4 16gb...normally take short 1080p clips for my kids...no issue whatsoever....records and plays fine...

Patriot Class 10 cards gave me problems on my Nexus One, and reportedly had a spectacular fail rate on Android and WP7 phones.. does that still apply?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mobs69:
I just installed a Patriot Class 10 32gb card to replace my 32gb Class 2 Kingston card. Moving the data over now. I will let you know if I have any problems.

Mustang 16 gb class 10. So far so good.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] whiskeybro:
I have the patriot running for more than a week now and its running fine.

i play my music from the card 8 hours a day and there where no problems
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I see the usual misinformation being posted here.

A Class 2 Sandisk card is sufficient for 1080p video recording, but you could simply use the internal memory if you're still worried - please see here for details:

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/06/15/...ugs-battery-life-camera-telephony-conclusion/

A Class 4 card is more than sufficient, so if cost is really an issue get either a Class 2 or 4 card. As others have mentioned the non-Sandisk ones don't benchmark as well for smaller writes (not really applicable for video capture, but still may be relevant for overall use).

Hope to get my 16gb class 10 sd soon. Now lets hope thyem custom roms support the ram tweak so i can get this puppy to use.

i bought 32gb class 4 from ebay, when i tried to transfer my music library half of it does not worked so i connected via memory card reader to my laptop and transferred my data. It went dead, i tried it on my phone also htc phone and laptop but nothing worked. I can not see even in windows where i can try to format it.

on double clicking sc card reader icon it says, please insert a dic in sd card reader.

is there any way to make it working again ? :confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6uPMAH:
Does anyone know where the contacts data is stored? I completely destroyed the screen on my EVO, so I cannot get to anywhere except booting into recovery blindly (AmonRA), navigating to mounts, again blindly, and enabling /system mount. I can then access the /system through ADB shell. So in theory I should be able to pull the necessary files and then push them to a new phone. I just don't know which files...

EDIT: after a little digging on another EVO, the location for Contacts storage seems to be /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts. Let's see if pushing the contents of this directory to a new phone works to restore contacts...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
For future... backup contacts to your sd card. From people/ contacts app, press menu and choose "export to sd card" it creates a backup of your contacts so you never lose them, or, if you use an aosp ROM and don't want to flash gapps just to sync contacts from your Google account

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
The SK4G's UI is touchwiz & all other android's are different , & there's no source of GB / Froyo leak so CM7 can't be worked on but if i was you i would come in my thread All-in-one , there's tutorial's for root , CWM , Kernal & Custom ROMS so it would make it feel way better & faster & once we get LAGFIX it would double in quadrant .

[Verizon Droid Charge] sangweb:
I've just received a message about system update for my Dcharge, currently it is rooted running on

Basedbad Version: i510.06 V.ED1, SCH-I510.ED1

Buid Numberr: SCH-I510.ED2

Is it safe to run OTA update or do I have to follow the following thread:

[How To] Install Rooted EE4 Update to do the update. I would hate to reinstall all my apps (yes I could use Titan Backup) but would prefer to update without wipe if possible. TIA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You shouldn't have to wipe data. Just make sure voodoo is disabled and you have stock recovery. You will have to odin rooted kernel once you update if you want to remain rooted.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sangweb:
So I should click on update OTA and then re-install the kernel? My is currently rooted as stated above and I would like to remain rooted.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
As long as you meet the two requirements I stated above. You can accept the update. Then flash your rooted kernel again
[Verizon Droid Charge] pH_:
How does one acquire and flash the stock recovery? Can you link to it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Right now the only way is to flash the stock rom/kernel, as no one has released the recovery.tar for odin. You can get it by odin ed1 or any other stock pkg.

If you haven't updated to ee4 then just odin ed1 rooted pkg and upgrade from there.

If you are on ee4 there is a set of odin pkgs here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116867 the first one has stock kernel and recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sangweb:
Not many of us would have stock recovery on a rooted phone since that will defeated the purpose of rooting. Looks like I have to go back to stock ed1 and get the OTA to get ed4 then rooted kernel. Not sure if any major benefits to go to ed4 other than the mobile hotspot fixed that it has.

Forgot one other question, my baseband is ed1 but my built is ed2, I am assuming that I still am on ed1 correct? TIA.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I made a IMEI backup a few months ago and saved it on computer, mines in a ZIP file.

It has the .sh and METAINF folder in it

so i'm guessing mine is flashable...

If anyone confirms for me that giving him the folder without .sh will work i'll do it, i just dont want him getting MY IMEI lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
i have a efsbackup but it is a sh file. cant you put the METAINF and the efsbackup.sh then make it a flashable zip?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Yeah i think so.

1 sec i'll upload the METAINF thing without my .sh in it.

here ya go: http://www.multiupload.com/2ZVJMLTLLN

just put the .sh in the zip not inside metainf and i guess flash.

i'm not completely sure about this..... so you could wait for someone who knows more about this to reply.

EDIT:

i just checked what i uploaded

you should extract it first before just inserting .sh

I accidentally put the metainf in a extra folder.... you can solve that in seconds so yep.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] leyvatron:
I know we all want a good working accesory for our Galaxy Tab. Well, the Samsung keyboard dock works really well with the tablet.... especially because it has Android Keys, its own charging port, and a speaker line out.

I recommend it if you are looking for a tab keyboard.

Some pics are attached for the community....

Also a very quick video about the Android Keys....

Hope this helps some of you that are looking into this keyboard. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Rodus:
Where can I buy it.

Looks very nice.

Do you have an link to the shop so I can order one?

I will appreciate that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] xXxGUITARISTxXx:
planning to get this!

how does it connect? Through the port, or is it bluetooth?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] leyvatron:
@Rodus - I bought it at Best Buy yesterday.

All you do is dock it landscape mode. Dock it and its ready to go.

One thing is.... if you use a custom keyboard on your tab like swype... when you dock the tab, itll revert you back to stock keyboard. That is the only downside I have found.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rubi76:
Great Video, thanks.

A few questions:

-The way the tab recharges is only if the port on the right is used, meaning connected to the A/C with the charger that came with the Tab?

-If so, if we would like to plug in a USB adapter, it's either the adapter or the charger, correct?

-If we don't plug in the charger on the right, does the keyboard work? Is the Charger charging the keyboard as well? or does it get powered in other ways?

-What ports are in the back?

-Do you think this keyboard is somewhat portable? Or is it pretty much for home use?

-Does it come with a pouch or anything else?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] leyvatron:
- Yes.... plug your AC to the keyboard while the tab is docked and it charges the tab.

- Dock your tab and plug your USB 30 pin adapter and you are good to go. Its either the AC for charge or the USB for transfer.

- The 30 pin is only for charging the tab. I'm thinking the keyboard is powered by the tab.... The keyboard doesn't have any batteries or anything like that... which makes it portable and really easy to work with. No plugs needed, just dock anywhere and the keyboard works.

I'm currently doing a few test to see what drains more battery, docked with the keyboard or undocked.

- The back of the keyboard only has a speaker line out, that's it. An HDMI would have been perfect but they put the HDMI connector on the media dock.

- No pouch... Its very light, portable, and has a very solid build with a rubber bottom so it doesn't slide around while you type.The tablet weights 567grams and the keyboard weights 609grams... I put them on the scale just now.

Hope that helps. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rubi76:
Nice!

my thoughts:

-if you buy the Hdmi adapter dongle it shoud work in the 30 pin adapter of the keyboard, you can connect to the tv.

-The media dock does NOT have an HDMI connector - you still need the Hdmi Adapter. What the media dock does is... it basically holds the Tab.

-great that the keyboard is so portable. Add a bluetooth mouse and there you have your power station.

Let us know about the battery test!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] yyhd:
Picked mine up from Best Buy this morning.

Oh, no wonder I am having problems with the keyboard. I froze the stock keyboard, so the dock keyboard has been giving me some problems.

I will defrost it and see if it's back to normal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] yyhd:
Yep. Worked.

So far I'm absolutely loving the keyboard dock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] WRXBluByU:
Anybody else having issues with the dock randomly disconnecting and reconnecting, it also seems to do it when waking up the device from sleep mode.

I am also feeling slightly uncomfortable with the dock due to the slight amount of movement from front to back when moving the device with the dock attached, really wish the 10.1 locked in.

On another note I don't usually notice it disconnect and reconnect when the device is plugged in to AC but it seems like when off the charger the dock is very finicky. If anyone can unplug the charger from your dock and see if you put your tab to sleep than wake up the tab, see if it dings like you have just plugged in the keyboard. I am wondering if it shuts the dock off to save power than turns it back on when you wake it up. Still doesn't solve the random but very short disconnects.

I am seriously contemplating calling Samsung to see their opinion on weather or not the bit of movement with the device on the dock will cause any premature failure of the docking/charging plug. Seems like a lot of stress on the jack when moving the device on the dock. Starting to think about the Extended Warranty due to fear of the possibility of breaking the Dock Connector inside the tab.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] iamsupreme:
So I'm digging the keyboard dock. It does tend to be a bit possessed at times. It won't register when I cradle the Galaxy on rare occasion (it makes the docking sound but the key presses don't register). Sometimes I'll be typing and it will jump to the address bar for the web browser and the on screen / display keyboard will come up. Then a bunch of "o" keypresses or something along those lines will start inputing. When it works, it's awesome. I'm using it to to type this right now. When it's possesed it is a headache.

If you are on Froyo you can basically migrate to whatever Gingerbread or CyanogenMod version you want.
