[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tratz:
I followed these instructions. The browser typing does seem to be faster now, though I wouldn't say that it's 100%.

As I'm typing this reply I'd say that it's enough of an improvement that I don't mind waiting for a real fix. I will also keep my eye out for any adverse effects of having disabled opengl.

Maybe if someone knows exactly what opengl rendering does I can specifically look for those things.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tratz:
Okay so I've re-enabled my opengl rendering, it turns out that a) I'm unable to play YouTube videos with it disabled, and b) some sites (well, at least xda) scroll very choppy.

I can confirm that the slow typing was seriously improved with opengl rendering off, and has now deteriorated now that I've turned it back on again.

In fact my frustration in writing this post is making me reconsider sacrificing YouTube.

Weird trade off, hopefully Google/Samsung can push out a fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xdmds:
are there any mods out yet that allow for this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
Not that I know of, I believe that requires source code hacks. We don't have the honeycomb source.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xdmds:
is there at least a way to close/kill apps from the running apps button next to the home button? Right now the only way i know of is killing theme from app settings
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
Now there is a thought! I am new to Android but I think it is completely asinine that there isn't a way to close apps. Even doing it in setting isn't a sure fire way to close apps. Not just apps but how but the settings menu for example? They say those apps are not using resources but if I am done with a game/app then I want to close it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
very good idea.

pull the recent apps and either do a long press, or maybe it could have an "X" to close it
[HTC Sensation] Legaleye3000:
On my mytouch 4g, my iPhone headphones' music controls worked (double tap goes to next song). Now, with the Sensation on Sense 3.0, double tapping my iPhone headphones makes the phone redial my last number called.

Any idea on how to fix? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] DBBGBA:
Mine seems to work fine on that matter, the volume up and down never worked on any android i ever tried them with... maybe someone knows why?
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
Curious to see what everyone keyboard of choice is..

I switched back to Swype from Swiftkey because it was easier to use for me.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Swype is the only way to type. I've tried every keyboard out there and I keep coming back to Swype. It runs better on the Sensation than any other device I've used it on.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Swype all the way. Started using it on the HD2 like 5 months ago (don't know why I waited) & v3 on the Sensation is even better!
[HTC Sensation] Sian:
Touchpal by Cootek.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I use thumb keyboard. It's the Shiznit! I also use it on all of my tablets. Before that I used Smart keyboard pro. I really like all the features and different layouts in thumb keyboard though.
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
Thumb keyboard is awesome! I use it on my xoom as well.
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
This is my first Android device and I kept hitting the period key instead of space. Space bar seems kinda short. But I've installed Swype Beta and getting used to it. It's so much faster then pressing each letter.
[HTC Sensation] ariochenigma:
I have the Swype beta but the tracing word predictions isnt that great. I normally use Shapewriter which has fantastic tracing word prediction but terrible typing.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:

[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
I use Thumb Keyboard or Gingerbread Keyboard. This is a pack with enough layouts..
[HTC Sensation] sltiedeman:
How do you change the keyboards on the Sensation? I am having major difficulty. I am sure it is something simple I am missing.

[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Swiftkey is pure genuis. I barely have to tap any keys!
[HTC Sensation] CoolWaters:
Agreed. I type words, not letters.
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
First make sure you activate by checking the box for it in settings > keyboard.

Then to use it, long press in a text field then press input method.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:

Keyboards

Started off with Smart keyboard PRO, then Gingerbread then Swiftkey X but I always come back to Swype.
[HTC Sensation] sltiedeman:
My problem is that with every keyboard I try I activate it (through Settings - keyboard) but long pressing in a text field does not bring up an option to change the input.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
What keyboards have you installed? If you don't install the APK then it will not give you the option to change keyboards.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
I wasn't really picky about the keyboard except for the damn period key which I always pressed when reaching for the space bar. Finally found Smart Keyboard which has the option to remove it altogether. It seems most like stock which is what I like.

Swiftkey was trying too hard to guess everything even after I adjusted settings. I'm too old fashioned and rather type every letter out myself, I guess. Same goes for Swype and my preference to actually type.
[HTC Sensation] Angelmsx:
I used to use HTC ime on n1 pre-gb and then switched to swype for a little bit. Bought smart keyboard pro and was really awesome until gingerbread keyboard apk came out. In terms of typing personally I make less mistakes on gingerbread compared to smart keyboard pro.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
I tried HTC IME on the S4G . In portrait mode the keyboard doesnt fit the whole

screen , in landscape mode it fits perfectly . The Resolution is great though !

Until that is fixed im using the GB Keyboard .
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
i use itap keyboard b.c i came from the iphone.. lol
[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
SwiftKey x
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
Swype... just so much faster, easier to write.
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
I agree. Swype is the first thing I put on a phone if it doesn't come with it. One thing I don't like about the qhd compatible swype is the word choice bar above the keyboard. I prefer the old style, but it's still better than anything else.
[HTC Sensation] Sblackmagics:
iphone keyboard emulator....keys are spaced out like the iphone and runs pretty smooth. im sticking with this for a while.

and for anyone struggling to change the input i had that problem where when i long pressed all that would show up is paste.....restart ur phone so theres nothing on the clipboard to paste then the input method will pop up when u long press....

but try out that iphone emulator keyboard!!
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I like better keyboard because it uses the entire screen from left to right. It does not leave a space on each side of the A and L buttons. Just wish I could widen or move the spacebar left a little.
[HTC Sensation] shreyasvb:
Gingerbread keyboard!! Its s BEST ..once u try it,I bet u guys won't leave it! :)
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
I'm currently using Smart keyboard, but I can't decide between this and the 2.3 one. I think I will keep this one.
[HTC Sensation] hurske:
Can I ask you guys, are you referring to swype as the stock keyboard on the sensation, or the actual program swype? If so,Is there a specific one for the sensation? Thanks much.
[HTC Sensation] jasonm253:
I would have to agree. Just installed it and now i'm complete lol
[HTC Sensation] ipwngeek:
I actually like the standard GB keys the best! I don't even need to look at the keys after GB, everything is so smooth! :D
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Swype now. Still getting used to it. I always press ES on the language settings by accident, kinda annoying.

ULTRA KEYBOARD

Why:

1. Add and remove arrows for navigation.

2. Adjust the height of keys

3. Trace feature optional

4. Tool bar at the top of keys for cut/past, settings, voice record emoticons and more

5. General awesomeness.

[HTC Inspire 4G] aval1392:
So im going to flash a new radio and RIL on my coredroid ROM, but have run into some confusion on how to do it. I read the posts on how to do it but this can brick my phone so i need to make sure i understand fully. The "Safe" method requires renaming the radio img "PD98IMG.zip" and after that i get confused. Whats adb and what do i do with my RIL file once i did the process with adb. Sorry I'm coming from a much different device and have run into confusion with this new process. If anyone can give a careful step by step i would REALLLY appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Put the PD98IMG file onto the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT
[HTC Inspire 4G] aval1392:
What do i do with the RIL file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
What file is the RIL in? Zip or what?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
RIL get flashed in clockwork recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Hold on there, cowboy... Slow down.

Don't start renaming radio.img's to PD98IMG.zip's.

Just use the files in the inspire only radio thread. The "careful step by step" you seek is there as well.

They're already named appropriately.... PD98IMG.zip

If you verify the checksum of your downloaded radio against the checksum given for it in that thread, you won't be bricking anything.

You don't need adb at all.

Verified checksum radio -> flashes in hboot

RIL -> flashes in recovery (mount /system first)
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I am hoping there are some people here who know about what brands/sites are good ones or trustworthy.

Ok, picking up my Evo 3D on Friday..... and surprise surprise, the phone isn't even out yet, yet there are a million different places with brands nobody has ever heard of with supposed cases for this phone, some of them even having dimensions smaller than the phone itself despite being listed as for the 3D.... (Yes I know, no need to tell me many manufacturers will take existing stock and claim it works for the new device just to sell it).

So the thing is, I have no idea what cases might be designed specifically for the HTC Evo 3D, or even any respectable sites to buy such cases from.

But I am also sorta over-complicating the issue by not being sure if I should first over a back cover for the phone or not. See, I am not a fan of the way the camerapod sticks out, I was wondering if there were any GOOD cases that add enough bulk to essentially make the cameras level with the rest of the phone, even if this will add thickness.

Something like this, but I don't know if this really is an official HTC product or not, and if there aren't better ones (or if that is a trustworthy site):

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28040

And this brings me to my main concern. The main case I want to get is a belt-clip holster, not just a simple little clip that attaches the phone to your belt but basically a whole pouch to hold it, something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Horizontal-Leather-Magnetic-Closing/dp/B0051IGCAI

But on top of the problem I already mentioned of there being a million cases just simply calling themselves a HTC Evo 3D case... there is also the issue of how it will fit. Normally, I don't care if a case is a little too big for a phone since it will hold it anyway, but all of my previous phones didn't have sensitive parts like the camera sticking out so much before, if I were to get a case, id want one designed to hold the pushed-out camera in place too.... but that would only work if I decide not to get a case that ads bulk for the purpose of keeping the cameras flush with the back of the phone.... and if I do decide to go with a back-cover to add bulk, will those pouch-cases then even still hold the phone or will it then be too thick?

Sigh... I'm over-complicating things aren't I? So anyway, any ideas? Its a shame those back-covers that increase the size of the phone can't make use of that size, such as storing a slightly higher capacity battery or something.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
That first one's badass. I wonder how much coverage you get on the front. I ordered two slide together ones (like the innocase surface, but a clone), and one super-silicone one. I like buying a bunch of different colored cases to shake things up every now and then.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonpaz:
ey

post some links so we can see what they look like plz i still need case :D

This is the silicone one. Cheap and highly rated for other phones.

This is the snap together (innocase surface-esque) one. Might be sold out now.

[HTC EVO 3D] blacksuntzu:
I went yesterday to a sprint store and got me a otterbox commuter case. I love it. They had about 4 different kinds but none with a kickstand. They also had the car dock as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] MojoSwag:
Picked up a Body Glove hard case when I picked my 3vo up this morning. Doesnt add too much bulk
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
I got the case that Best Buy sells with a kick stand. It's 2-piece, kickstand, soft-touch, protects well. Very streamline. It costs too much ($40.00) but I had some reward points and ended up getting it for free. Love it!
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Hmph, just terrific. To complicate matters, that hardshell case I posted isn't even available until July 13 apparently.... and nobody is showing that it looks like from the front...

I guess I should just at the minimum get a belt-clip pouch for now. Does anyone know of any good horizontal ones that were specifically designed for the Evo 3D instead of just general cases that roughly fit a phone of that shape?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanstorm:
I want to attempt unlocking bootloader using Ken's process but I have 2 questions (I'm sure more will pop up during the process but only 2 for now lol)

1. Can I use Tibu to back up /data partition to external sd card? If not what is best way to do this?

2. If I am on gingerblur 4.5 can I flash the sbf over it or do I have to flash back to stock 1.57 ota to 1.83 then flash Ken's sbf unlock?

Any help or advice is always appreciated.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
1. Just copy both external & internal on your pc and keep as a backup; I just did it and everything was still there. Make sure you take out the SD and your sim when you flash the unlock SBF.

2. I'm on that too. Just flash the sbf in Kenn's unlock instructions, you'll be ok.

Good luck! (It's easy though..)

P.S. Follow the instructions to the letter, you'll be ok!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanstorm:

[Droid 2 Global General] moocowgal:
As the tittle states what methods work with the updated 2.2 froyo version of the Droid 2? I know everybody says z4root and super one click, but when I had my Atrix neither of those methods would work for me because of 2.2.1 I finally found a method made specifically for the Atrix and that worked.

Should I let the phone update to gingerbread first before I attempt to root or what?

Also how does the Droid 2 Global perform on 3d games? I'm getting this phone primarily as a gaming device and read it has a pretty good dedicated gpu.

P.s I sent the atrix back because the nvidia chip ate the battery in less then 40 minutes when playing dungeon defenders first wave... Which is my favorite game on the android platform.
[Droid 2 Global General] KingWaffle:
Gingerbread isn't out yet for it, however, SuperOneClick and z4root both work.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
For gaming, you should get Sony Ericsson Xperia Play because it was, at least, made for gaming.

D2G is a business phone. Its GPU is also outdated already.
[Droid 2 Global General] moocowgal:
Thanks, I did a bit of research though, the gpu in the Droid 2 global is better then the one in the xperia play
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Adreno 205 in Xperia Play supports Havok Engine.

SGX530 does not, afair.

Adreno 205 is generally approaching SGX540 in terms of performance, with SGX530 staying a bit behind.

So I'm not sure where you are pulling your data from.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
actually the og droid used the SGX530, the droid 2 global uses the SGX535 which actually rivals the Adreno 205 in most areas, so yeah the Droid 2 global is pretty good at gaming.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Can you provide the source for your SGX535 claim?
[Droid 2 Global General] FlyingPoo:
the search method: Z4root 1.3.0
[Droid 2 Global General] Jon8RFC:
Z4root did it for me. Do a temporary root first, then once it completes, do a permanent root right afterward.

Be sure to enable USB Debugging.

Here's the exact z4root apk that I used:

I used gingerbreak on my wifes droid 2 global and my droid pro and it worked great
[Droid 2 Global General] Cunorix:
I have the Droid 2 Global. I don't believe the Droid is the business model, I believe the Droid Pro is.

With that aside, I game on my phone frequently enough to give you a good assessment.

I've played:

Gameboid,

Psx4droid,

Snesoid,

Pocket legends,

Dungeon defenders,

Gun bros,

Worms,

Robotek,

and more. All run without hiccups 95% of the time. (When my battery is below 40% my processor becomes under clocked.)

The one concern I have with this phone and gaming though is it will get hot (almost unbearably) when playing graphically intense games for more than 30 minutes.

I can't confirm this, but I've heard the Xperia Play has an actual graphics chip in it that sets it aside from other phones. I believe that would contribute to a better gaming experience phone-wise.

Ladies & Gentlemen, as we speak I am manually checking for an update from HTC. There was actually a GB update waiting for download. Its either 4.24 or 4.26. Can't check as I am currently downloading. Please try....and post back with your experiences. Thanks!

Edit: This was already posted in the Evo Q&A Section and General Section.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Interesting was there supposed to be an update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't see anything new for the Evo. Last update was in December.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davidstjohn1:
I checked today and there was a 8 meg update but I'm rooted so I didn't update it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8papa:
Thee has been one major update which was the GB 4.22 update plus this one which is 4.24. It is only 6MB, so I'm sure its nothing major. Keep trying the manual update. Took me two tries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkmx2000:
There was a update for the Evo for Gingerbread 2.3.3 and then another one that was a maintenance update to the fix the everyone was having with Netflix, bettery fix and also for streaming videos to your phone.

I got the 4.22 update today, but didn't update cuz I just got my Evo, and wanted to root it this evening. So I just got done rooting using the auto root method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevo77:
If its version 4.24.651.1 its the current version. Nothing new!
[EVO 4G Android Development] interloper:
How did you find this? I checked HTC support page. Where should I be looking? Running Cm7 I can't do it through the updates like on Sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1gr8papa:
It is under Settings/Software Updates/HTC Software update.

FYI: It does not update radios, the locked hboot 2.16.001, or Wimax. It does seem to make my phone respond faster (apps snappier & data seems faster).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neipas09:
The faster response is probably a result of rebooting your phone and not having 100 apps running in the background eating up memory

I don't know when they stopped having it look like that, but I think it automatically syncs.

I exchanged my Sensation today & when I signed in the my htcsense account on my phone it started to sync the contacts & texts back to my phone. I really wish there was a way to disable it actually.
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
You can disable sync, but then you will not be able to track your phone i guess.

I don't understand why i can't see all options.

If I'm going to do a hard reset, then i want to know if my data is in sync with htcsense.com or not...
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
see that's what sucks. I'd like it to be synced to htcsense, but I don't want my contacts/sms synced. i hope they fix that. right now if I sync it up then it will pull down my contacts & there will be duplicates which I don't want.
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
After sync with htcsense.com, I did a hard reset of the phone.

The contacts and the messages was not restored to my phone when i again performed a sync with htcsense.com

There was no important sms on my phone and i had all my contacts synchronized with gmail, so no problem losing it.

Apps was not restored when logging on to marked.
