Hi,

Is it possible (with a registry modification) to add file associations so I can open text files with extensions other than .txt - such as .log or .ini? Or is there some other way to view these files?

Thanks

[LG Optimus 2x] connubialis:
There is an LG update coming this week. If i install cyanogenmod, will I have to install cyanogenmod once more after installing the LG update? Or will i be able to run the update on CM at all?
[LG Optimus 2x] frittenpiekse:
if you install cyanogenmod you will not get this update, it's only for stock rom (maybe other roms based on stock too)
[LG Optimus 2x] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i think it depends on the update. baseband ? firmware ?

but most likly it will wipe. but i am not the best guy
[LG Optimus 2x] connubialis:
Will they put the content in the update into a newer version of CM for 2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
i'm using cyanogenmod on my lg o2x...if LG will release new firmware for camera, how can i install this firmware?
[LG Optimus 2x] connubialis:
What if i first wait for the update, and then upgrade to CM after the update is installed?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Then any traces of the update will be removed. CM isn't an alteration of the stock ROM, it's built from source code from the ground up.
[LG Optimus 2x] NickHu:
Not necessarily, the update may be baseband also, which controls the radio and low level stuff, which is independent from CM
[LG Optimus 2x] Unimatrix-zero:
Who says that there will be an update this week?
[LG Optimus 2x] connubialis:
LG Support told me several times last week.
[LG Optimus 2x] barthead:
what kind of update is it? new firmware or just a regular update ? tnx
[LG Optimus 2x] Glutues Maximus:
It's probably the update that is supposed to fix the problems. Wich I think next week will be released "in two weeks".
[Thunderbolt General] tko248:
I been having issues on a un-rooted thunder since yesterday 6pm, call tech support today and they couldnt figured it out. escalated to networking team, anyone else around the area experience this problems.

works well when i switch to rev A only.
[Thunderbolt General] NyPlaya513:
i think.......you should root and update your radio :D

I live in Staten Island, have perfectly fine 4G man.
[Thunderbolt General] chepo84126:
I been having no problems... i am in midtown right now and is perfect.
[Thunderbolt General] atm0sphere:
financial district here.. no problems with my lte
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
I'm having an issue with LTE as well. I'm going to reflash the radios to see if it helps. I'm rooted running MR2.5 radios with the new Bamf Sense 3 Shooter ROM. I had LTE until about a half an hour ago (now on LTE Mode I get 3G..yes 3G!) Doh. :) In Allentown, PA.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
Reflashing the radios fixed my issue. I'm back on LTE. :)
[Thunderbolt General] doublehoya:
I've been having issues as well for the past few days- I work in midtown & commute back to NNJ (rooted, still on MR1 radio). usually, a reboot or switching to CDMA only, then back to CDMA/LTE fixes it, but no luck yet. May try the 2.5 radio & see if that helps...
[Thunderbolt General] Bluecat.NYC:
I've been mostly in 1X for the last couple days as well. (Midtown NYC / South Brooklyn) Reboots haven't helped. Can you flash radio MR2.5 on any version ROM? I haven't flashed since the original root back in march.

update:

Whoa. 4G came roaring back after being AWOL for most of the day. Hope it sticks.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
It depends on the ROM you're running. There is a thread in development with the radios and the PlainJane 1.3 (which is an updated Froyo based stock ROM.) The 2.5 RUU is for Froyo but the radios will run with only updated Froyo ROM's and GB ROM's.
[Galaxy Tab General] clankman:
My daughter has an ipad, grandparent gift. A big gift for a 9 year old if you ask me. Well, she is struggling reading an assigned book for the summer so I agreed to buy the audio version of the book if she would read along with it. The CDs arrive and I spend an evening ripping them. Then I have to add them to itunes. Oh but wait, there is an itunes update, and then an update to the ipad software, but before you do that, make sure to back up the ipad so you don't lose your apps. Then you have to figure out how to get the audiobook to the ipad using this unintuitive mess called itunes. What a mess. Does apple even have a clue how easy it is on the other side?

On my tab, it would have been 1. rip 2. copy.
[Galaxy Tab General] jphilpot:

[Galaxy Tab General] k0sh:
because the Galaxy Tab , is \M/ ROckkkkks
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
i love my ipad as much as my tab, but if you get the VLC app for ipad it makes putting stuff on it easy as piss, you should check it out.
[Galaxy Tab General] richuu:
What do you use for ripping? I spent ages the other week editing some TV recordings I'd copied from my Sky+ box onto a DVD recorder, couldn't copy direct from the DVD recorders' USB port, so ended up burning a DVD. Any apps I found for ripping the DVD were £40+... any better options?
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Handbrake, it's free, there's heaps of free ones out there

swyped from a galaxy far far away
[Galaxy Tab General] pendevous:
I agree with this. VLC is a must for the iPad.
[Galaxy Tab General] Pharaohnough:
Two of the many reasons I believe Android is superior to iPad:

1. Apple has way too much control over the Apple Store.

The operating model of the Android Market is the way it should be done to encourage developers to build on the platform

2. The ability to customise Android, whether it's end-user customisation with things like launchers, widgets, etc or developer customisation in the form of custom ROMs and the like
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
I agree, but majority of people who buy i-devices are semi-retarded and dont understand how to customize a device, but when a i-user see's a tricked out android device they are all like :(
[Galaxy Tab General] Gigamaster89:
If you take a deep breath and actually look at it, it's fairly easy. More difficult than on android? Yes, but no where near as complicated as you make it out to be.
[Galaxy Tab General] ura.xplay:
totally agree with that...

i experienced that and changed to use Tab...

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] Haroldd76:
I used Handbrake, and liked it well enough, but I'm having trouble getting the settings right to convert a movie and keep it under 2GB. Suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
My 2¢

Recently my little brother started home school, so we got DVD's, 60 of them, but how can we put them on the phone? or on any other computer, seeing how netbooks dont have dvd players,

my steps:

1. RIP the DVD (U may use Handbreak, I use DVD FAB) with regular settings, it will create Audio and Video_TS folders,

2. Get VOBMerge (Link to their website) , what this program does, combines the VOB's in one big one,

3. Get Auto Gordian Knot 2.53b, you then select Combined VOB from step 2 and convert it to whatever size you want, i choose the option to make 2 CD's / 700mb each. This is the program people use to put DVDRips on torrents and other places, im sure u wondered how can they get such high quality video?

Alas, in a little while you'll have a FULL DVD (Movie, Music or whatever) in SUPER HIGH QUALITY in 700MB,

Feel free to ask me any questions,
[Galaxy Tab General] MosCraciun:
To complicated, you can use only AutoGordianKnot to rip DVD, or make ISO with DVD Shrink where you can remove some useless think from DVD.
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
Probably if you are doing a movie, that is ONE file,

or is separated in 1.1; 1.2; 1.3...1.x VOB then yes, you technically could you just this program alone however,

in my case, i have 12 separate chapter, between 4-5 VOB in each chapter, when i select AutoGK it does only 15-20 min of the DVD, hence i am forced to use this 'work around', I have yet to find a simpler solution, that would take ALL the video footage from DVD and just convert it into one .AVI, .MPEG, .WHATEVER
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
To be fair, maybe you're the one who doesn't know how to do stuff?!! My 11 year old cousin does this in his sleep. Geez...

What you just described is so elementary, you should be ashamed to even complain as to the reason you hate the iPad. Wow..

iTunes doesn't force you to update, neither are you forced to update your iPad. It as simple as choosing not to. Put CD in, rip, drag and drop onto iPad. How "hard" is that?!!
[Galaxy Tab General] ryn888:
Hehehe... awesome for galaxy tab because its easy transfer files copy paste from pc. Fir apple you should use itunes...

Sent from my Galaxy Tab using Overcome Icarus
[Galaxy Tab General] kable:
You never have to update iTunes and your iPad software you can simply decline the option.

Backing up is an option as well. You have to do the same for Android when updating or risk losing everything.

I use both Apple and Android and love them both, it just sounds like it was bad timing and for some reason you thought you had to do the updates then. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Some retarded polling company advertised today that most Android users would rather use their ipads.

What a bunch of crap !!

I have an iPad from work, with 3G, it is good for RDP to the servers, and a few other theings, the email app on ipad is so juvenile.

Nothing compares to Android, and the super stuff that XDA devs make available for our pleasure.
[Galaxy Tab General] mfortner:
Fair and balanced. I use both and have likes and dislikes for each.

Good Morning,

I can't seem to add multiple gmail/google apps accounts in the new Sense 3.0/2.1 rom's (Kingdom ports). I go through the wizard successfully, but it never ends up adding a second account. I've searched and I can't seem to find anyone having the issue or am looking for the wrong keywords.

[General Questions and Answers] mistermouse:
Hi,

I'm finding the stock MIUI radio isn't very good with my Desire HD. It tends to either have perfect reception or none!

For the record I'm on MIUI 1.6.10 and my baseband is 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a better radio for the Desire HD? My best mate has jvo and recommended zsjpg but he has a Galaxy S and I don't trust that shifty bugger.

[General Questions and Answers] mathias_hoppe:
Would love too know the same... :-)
[General Questions and Answers] Kluzak:
me too, pls:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] demosten:
After I did it myself, I've found a thread that basically describes the same process here.

However I've decided to post it again with some more details:

Requirements:

WP7 with Chevron installed on your device. I'm using NoDo ROM so it's working there too.

TouchXplorer installed on your device.

Zune installed on your PC.

For more information how to install these check HERE

Steps to do it:

Sync desired ringtones as Zune music to your phone and disconnect it.

Start TouchXplorer on your device. From now on, we will work with it.

Go to [My Documents\Zune\Content\0100\<xx>] where xx should be the biggest number if more than one folder is there (might be 01, 02 etc, if in doubt select the last one)

The folder is filled with MP3 files with two letter hex number names (ex: 45.mp3, a7.mp3 etc.). Go to the end of the list and locate your ringtone(s) by listening to the files. Zune should put the last synced files at the end of the list.

Select your ringtone files(s) and cut or copy them.

Go to [My Documents\My Ringtones] and paste the files there.

Rename ringtone file(s) to the name(s) you would like to see in Ringtone settings screen (keep the .mp3 extension!). Oddly enough, MP3 description is NOT used, just the file name.

Now go to device's settings and under "ringtones & sounds" in Ringtone selector you should see your ringtone(s) together with built-in ringtones.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] anab:
heyy!

didint worked for me... =/

when i try to listen the mp3 files it says

"the type initializer for "nativeAcess" threw an excepction."

Mine is 7712 xbmod unlocked...

the mp3 file is a 30 sec music....

I havent gotten a new phone since 09 Hero.....whats the deal with battery charging. Do I need to fully charge the phone before using it? Do you drain the battery fully before re-charging it?

what give the battery the best life possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
Never, ever, never, ever, never, never, ever drain a lithium based battery to nothing. Very, very bad. Charge it and keep it above 50% for the firstweek.

Swyped from my Atari 2600
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
Thank you. That is the type of advice I need.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
Even your Hero should be the same. Most modern cell phones use Lithium Ion which do not have memory effect.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
There is no memory for Li-ion batteries so go ahead and just use your phone. You do not have to keep it above or below a certain charge. The phone will not allow the battery to drain to completion so you do not have to worry about that. It is very bad to let a Li-ion battery completely drain but there are fail safe measures implemented in the phone/battery to prevent that. 0% charge on your phone does not mean 0% battery, its just the mA at which your phone thinks the battery has 0% battery remaining.
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
I wonder if there's going to be a similar procedure to the OG EVO's plug, unplug, turn off, charge, unplug, turn on, turn off, charge method (or whatever it was) to maximize battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
Bump charging works for lots of phones to my understanding. Something about how the phone at first doesn't charge to 100% - when it gets to a certain point it just keeps it maintained at that level .
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
While it is true that lithium ion batteries don’t suffer from “memory” problems such as NiCad batteries they do have a lifespan. For example, the lithium battery in the laptop that I am using right now, and have used for the past year, currently has a 98% charge and is not charging. That’s much, much better than a NiCad battery would be. I can really see the NiCad issue in my rechargeable cordless tools.

But lithium batteries will eventually die. Just ask the first generation iPud owners. Their batteries were failing just after a year of ownership and Apphole wouldn’t do anything about it. They had reached the end of life of their batteries.

Lithium batteries do take a little bit to break in though. You’ll notice a slight improvement as time goes on for the next month. But I would still refrain from draining the battery too much.
[HTC EVO 3D] lwnda3rd:
Thanks for the input...I too have the hero, and was curios...

...is it Friday yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
there was a recent article I seen from a link in the g2x forums where they go to actual experts on the lithium who designed the actual cells and ask them how is best to charge them.

the honest answer is for life being your most concern. that means for the battery to keep a consistent charge over the life of the phone without losing actual daily life on the battery,

you have to plug it in when the phone ask at about 20%. then unplug it when the phone says the battery is full. Do not leave the battery plugged in for hours over full. said something about the charge disburst weird or something

anyway it was a link in the g2x forum in general. im sure you can finds it. Ill look if you really want me to,

Hello everyone,

I received my cousin's phone asking me to see if I can repair it for him. I've tried turning it on and there is the initial vibrate, and thats it. No sound and no display. Nor do the buytons light up. It's like there is no andriod installed at all lol. I have mangead to get it to boot in hboot but again, there is no display. I don't know but could the screen be dead? Is there any advice that may help fix the phone?

I don't even know what firmware it would be running. All I have managed to do it install the HTC Bootloader while trying to root it.

Thanks all in advance

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonimo95:
Go to hboot --> clean storage

if it not works:

did you rooted? if yes, with clockworkmod installed, you can make a hard reset and install other rom
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonwong1989:
Hello anmnimo95,

Can you tell me how many times I have to press volume - then power button as ike I said, my screen is completely blank, even on hboot mode. It doesnt look like the screen or the front buttons are powering on but the phone itself seems to power up as it vibrates to say its on.

I don't think this phone is rooted but I can't exactly see it as, like i said, screen seems dead
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonimo95:
you have to press volume+power pressed at the same time for 3-5 seconds
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonwong1989:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixino:
Everyone can make what you said, but only a few can actually write/modify the code for a kernel or rom (sammy example). Also modifing an apk/xml is not the same as writing code for a kernel.

Silly boy....ROMs are made by friendly trolls, and coded using Android, love and less than 1% animal byproducts as permitted by law. We ALL know that.

Do you make a habit of posting threads that mistake aggressive provocations as legitimate questions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold_:
Actually, although it may have been seen as provocative, I understand his concern. Afterall, when you flash a rom you're entrusting your phone to whoever cooked it, and it's impossible to know if there's something unpleasant in there.

Clearly, the most popular roms are being used by enough people that surely someone would notice if it was transmitting personal data, or passwords or something... There's nothing wrong with asking questions rather than accepting blindly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Isn't he allowed to ask?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I understand a desire to know, but then why not ask in the specific threads he is interested in? Perhaps it is partly born out of his poor English, but phrased and placed the way it was his post was more challange than query....which I am quite sure was how he meant it to be.

People who create mods and kernels are not paid employees or people he is paying for a service. They are volunteers and hobbyists who are sharing what they make. Noone has the right to demand anyone's "credentials' here, beyond the sources and details of their ROM. Some will be great, some will be pretty lousy...but a little caution and reading of threads will usually seperate the wheat from the chaff.

As for his demand to know "who" these people are...if someone said they were just a geek in their mom's basement or an off duty porn star coding android kernels on the side for fun, would he then be better informed about their ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
now that's a rom i would use!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eugene_che:
official roms or stock rom - made by professionals (i hope so) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Udayakiran:
I think it is a mixture of everything. Some people take the stock code, add some stuff that is beneficial and publish it as their mod. Some other people may take this modded ROM, add some more stuff that they believe is beneficial and publish it as their mod. Atleast, thats what I believe. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm not very sure about the "professional" ones, but CyanogenMOD and Darky's ROM are used by a lot of people. I'm a noob to this scene, so I dont know about others. But there are certainly a lot of mods floating around.

BTW, there should be "like" button on this forum. Some comments are very witty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Most people use the Thanks button for that...though I agree having a like button as well would be nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:

All of a sudden this morning, my Facebook App shows "No Posts" on the wall and on the People Hub it says something along the lines of No News To Report.

I have tried resyncing both Windows Live account and Facebook account. I have deleted the Facebook account and reloaded it to the phone. I also have logged out of Facebook on the app and relogged in. None of it is working.

I am thinking this is on Facebook's end though, because it is too coincidental to have both have similar issues at the exact same time. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas? Thanks.
