[EVO 4G General] tkirton:
Okay, I must be missing something here.

When I want to upgrade to a newer stock, I simply download a rooted odex or deodex version of the OTA and put that on my SD card. Then I go into ClockworksMod and tell it to flash that zip file. I make sure signature verification is off (a one-time process). I have never gone through the trouble with any of my Android devices to put the original recovery back into the phone, run the OTA, run Unrevoked, then put ClockworksMod back in...because it is simply not necessary to do.

It sounds to me this entire procedure that the OP wanted to do is over-complicated. But, again, maybe I'm missing something.
[Acer Iconia A500] mclegend:
Hi

I recently purchased an A500 while away in Taiwan and I love it.

The only problem is since I got back last week and tried to change the time zone on it to my home zone it does not save the change after I switch it off.

It also does not save anything else I change on it for example app updates, wifi passwords.

I have tried to reset it using a USB keyboard and hitting the home key after pressing power on and the volume switch, but it still goes back to where it was?

I'm hoping the 3.1 update that comes will fix this as I have seen people comment on the time zone issue but I haven't found anyone describe that the tablet is frozen in time.

Should I be more concerned?

Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

I haven't seen a posting about Netflix and Xoom in a while. Does anyone have an update on their progress? Has anyone gotten a hacked version working?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Timbledore:
Will be a while before we see a HC version. Frameworks are different is the main reason I can see why it's not running on any HC device at the moment.

Bummer too...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rossvtaylor:
Sad that I can stream my Netflix on my hacked Nook but not on my Xoom. Soon, I hope...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] patass:
can your nook use any tablet specific apps effectively?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Timbledore:
Mine can as long as they are compatible with 2.2.x. There are a lot of tablets on the market still (and new ones releasing) with Gingerbread on them and not Honeycomb.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jumphour:
I haven't tried that on my NookColor yet. Cool. It works good on my DX. Would be better on the 10.1 inch screen though! If the Xoom had an HDMI in, I'd be all set. I have RealHDMI on the DX. I still haven't even tried hooking my phone or the Xoom up to my TV yet.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rossvtaylor:
I should have clarified that I had to set the NC so that Netflix sees it as a Nexus S, but this was easy to do with instructions found in another thread.

Best wishes,

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Romp:
I have a Nook too and it plays Netflix perfectly. I consider it my Tablet Lite.

It is depressing that my uber-tablet with 32gb of storage, 1gb of ram, dual for CPU, nvidia CPU, and so on can't play Netflix, where my ebook reader can.

My Netflix account is on hold until they fix this... or I have to cancel it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xeroja:
I know the feeling but I am hopeful that netflix will be making its way to us, but on the bright side Amazon Video works
[LG Optimus 2x] tehchrz:
Hey guys, sorry for the question it's probably stupid but I'm new to all of this.So, put briefly I made a nandroid backup,wiped cache and did a factory reset, changed my ROM to CM7 RC1 and now what do I do to get my contacts,applications and stuff back to the phone ? Do I load the nandroid backup from recovery mode or I use the LG PC Suite sync option ?

Thanks in advance and sorry once again.
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
If You do a nandroid u'll be right back where You started :)

Nandroid is like an image of Your phone with ALL info,software,tweaks,SMS etc etc...

If You have it backed up with LG sync i would use that..

You should also consider getting an google account at least so You can backup all Your contacts (and if you want mail,and calander) online...

But dont do a nandroid unless u want to go back .. .:)

What phone should I get. I have had bad luck with samsung and that's what's holding me back on nexus. The Evo 3D with 2 cores looks nice. So I will upgrade from my transform Friday what do you think?
[General Topics] myersn024:
I picked up an Evo 3D last Friday, and it's a great phone. The dual core processor is way snappy... no noticeable lag when doing anything. However, if rooting your phone is important, then you may want to hold off. HTC said they'd unlock the bootloader, but they're currently shipping the 3D's with a locked version. Furthermore, they've yet to say anything since launch regarding the issue. I rarely used programs that required root, so I can deal for the time being. If rooting and/or custom roms aren't anything you care about, then get the 3D today!
[General Topics] GuitarrassDeAmor:
I've heard the Evo 3D is super slick, though I still think 3D is a bit gimmicky at this point. Then again, I have no problems buying into gimmicks, lol. I would personally go with the Evo.
[General Topics] smygel:
I would go for the EVO 3D, specced with cool stuff
[General Topics] jmeridith:
Bought the Nexus S 4g on the 6/4 for my gf. I liked the ns4g, its sleak and very lightweight. The specs are good and its a snappy phone that ran every app I tried. Of course there isnt a bunch of pre loaded garbage in them. We went to Vegas earlier in the month and it had a problem with internet connectivity, when my evo shift would have no issue at all.

Then I looked at the specs of the 3d and figured that the hardware in the e3d would be on the cutting edge for a good time to come(whereas the ns4g seems to be at the end of its cycle with a single core processor), so we went and swapped it out yesterday. The e3d is definitley cool, loaded with a ton of bloat, but its fast. The 3d pictures are very cool, maybe gimmicky, but nonetheless very fing cool.

I cant wait to see how fast it can be once its cranked up a little.
[General Topics] noirelion:
Nexus has no memory card slot.... (Dont take away what we already have)....

That is a deal breaker for me-- and the Evo is snazzier looking (and you know the Evo Dev community will have it rooted and rommed in a fing week...:)
[General Topics] nibras_reeza:
Evo 3D is way better than Nexus S in many ways. However, Nexus S is one of those few phones with vanilla and it's the most likely phone to get the next update first.

Like others said, 3D is a gimmik but hey, it's cool still. :) If you can afford it, I'd advise you to wait a bit since 3D and dual core phones have *just* started coming out.
[General Topics] jayharper08:
I picked up the 3d last week. Absolutely love it. I wasn't getting it for the 3d, thought it was gimicky also, but it actually is pretty cool. Fits perfect in the hand also :-)

[Captivate General] yokozuna82:
I'm coming from the atrix forum here's something that might work for your captivate GPS before the atrix I had the captivate so I know the GPS is unreliable

This improve my atrix GPS indoors at 1meter accuracy

SUPL_HOST=h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Way worse for me.:(
[Captivate General] yokozuna82:
Guess it only works for the atrix
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Captivate's problem is hardware, not the server it gets satellite data. Most people that have exchanged their older builds for newer ones have reported a functioning GPS. Me, I must have got lucky my 1007 build the GPS works.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Like said above the captivates gps problem was a hardware problem. Refurbs and newer units are FIXED. Changing supl settings are just a bandaid that will display stronger satellites but wont do nothing trackin/navigation wise.
[Captivate General] yokozuna82:
NA I've had the 1007 GPS was terrible then got 1010 and the GPS was better but still got terrible accuracy
[Captivate General] GoneFishing36:
how should i go about and get a refurb or new unit? (me: 1006)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:

[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Ive simply just told the reps at the device service centers that my gps dosent lock/track. They switched the phones out no questions asked.
[Captivate General] rg400smarttowel:
Do you know if they would switch the phone for me even if I didn't buy it from att. I bought mine on craigslist.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
I think the warranty claim only works for the original owner. The only thing they ask me for is the last few digits of my SSN and they look up my account information. Uneless they go by the IMEI numbers (they scan and record each imei number off the back of your phones when exchanging) I dont see how they know. As soon as you put your sim into the phone is appears that it is your phone on your account.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
meh...the GPS is passable...I mean how long do we own a device? I live with it for a year or so knowing I'll be moving on anyway

[Captivate General] yokozuna82:
If you call ATT and register the iemi # wait a few days they won't know the difference say you bought it from ATT 10 month ago or so so its still under warranty
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Hey all just thought a thread would be good for mentioning games that can work with alternate inputs. As we know the emulators work fine with it after you map them better. (Sucks that default mapping isnt calibrated right)

Also learned I could control the home screen and so of my DS7 using the remote. Which helps when you have it docked and on the big screen to load the emulator, game and go.

So what other games work well with the wiimote? Wish Gunbros and Dungeon Defenders worked lol.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Which emulator are you using, and does it work with the analogue input for the classic controller?
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
All of yongzh works after you do the other settings to enable inputs. Then you may have to map some of the buttons.

[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
3vo...

HTC will unlock the bootloaders for this and all of their phones making development available. Moto does not have the same stance on unlocking bootloaders. Plus you get the 3D feature, which IMHO, was VERY underrated prior to release.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike21pr:
3VO without a doubt, both have locked bootloaders but htc promised an unlock

Sense 3.0 > Blur (or whatever it will be called)

HTC QHD > Pentile Moto QHD

HTC Support > Moto support

For starters, but i can go on and on

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
If you really want a world phone then the Photon might be the better choice for you. Since you don't care about 3D the photon gives you 16gb of built in storage on top of the SD card slot. I'm not going to bring community hacking into this yet because as of now the Evo is locked and Moto is already starting to show that they are unlocking some previously locked phones.

Personally I prefer the Evo 3D. The 3D is more than a gimmick, I've always loved HTC products, the new 16:9 screen makes the Evo alot better being less wide. The camera button is great if you like taking pictures.
[HTC EVO 3D] tweston1:
That's a hard question. I love my 3VO, but I'm always looking around the corner, especially since i am still in my 30 day return window. I keep thinking about the photon and a what it might be able to bring to the table..

I've been pleased with MOTO in the past, and it seems like they make a decent phone. Their phones feel solid and the materials feel nice. As far as the Photon goes however, it doesn't look like its made as well as the 3VO. Granted, I've only seen screenshots and hands on videos. The EVO 3D feels great. It's solid and lacks that shiny plastic look the MOTO has (I hate shiny plastic) The MOTO looks like a lower quality device. Again this is without being able to hold the device.

Sense UI > BLUR all day, everyday, although launcher apps almost negate this, if you're into that.

Spec wise, they are similar. The pros and cons balance out, but I'm giving the edge to the 3D feature because it's way cooler than I expected.

Overall, I think HTC is more reliable and, I think they make higher quality devices. They provide timely updates, mostly, and their stock UI is better. Plus, this phone is the successor to their insanely popular EVO 4G and, I think that will translate to a high level of support from HTC.

XDA Premium App, biatches!
[Vibrant General] nivek_k2020:
Looks like the the next Nexus phone will be made by Sammy and will be running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). It won't have any physical buttons and will include a 1280 x 720 “Super AMOLED HD” display. :eek:

It will use Texas Instruments’ OMAP4460 processor, a 1.5GHz dual-core chip.

Now I have to decide if I want to get Hercules or wait for Nexus 3. :confused:

thats unnecessary, unless if they have a complete bulletproof way of turning it on with no physical buttons, i want a physical button for atleast power on.

how the hell is the hacking community supposed to boot into recovery? Download mode?

I'm sure there'll be new ways to get into it, but.. by touch?

"TO GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE, GET YOUR PINKY FINGER AND YOUR MIDDLE FINGER AND PUT IT ON THE CORNERS OF THE SCREEN'S PHONE FOR 5 SECONDS, THEN RELEASE THE PINKY AND IT SHOULD BOOT UP INTO DOWNLOAD MODE"

tell me how retarded that sounds.

Also, is this for.. like SURE 100%? no guessing? Because last time i heard LG was making the new flagship nexus phone.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
So you are speculating that since you don't know how no buttons would work that no one will?

EDIT: Nm, never held one but I guess that is a nexus S? Still, I wonder if they truly mean no buttons, or just the no home/search/back/menu buttons like in HC.
[Vibrant General] zbt1985:
it doesn't mean no buttons at all. it will have volume rocker and pwer button but no home, back, menu, or search...think tablets!

From what I read, a 4.5" ice cream sandwich phone would be a lot like a 4" non-ice cream intended phone. The screen will be a bit longer to accommodate for software buttons.

[Vibrant General] FC1032:
:D I'm glad the Nexus line is sticking with AMOLED screens! Probably a bit late for a wishlist but:

* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... DON'T use glossy plastic... Metal body!!! Or at least plastic with a matte or metallic finish!

* I was hoping they'd be able to yank a CCD camera sensor from the Japanese phone (Yea let me dream)... Or at least a nice Backlit CMOS sensor.

* 4.5 inch screen max (without the android buttons). Anything larger and you'll have a HUGE phone.

* Mini SD slot? Bring it back!

* LED notification light(s). I dunno, make it a hidden line on the side or top somewhere. Then it glows like TRON when there's a notification or for charging.

* Did I mention a metal body? Ouuu, titanium grey or the original nexus brown/copper
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i don't think i like that idea. i prefer the 4" screen with the capacitive buttons.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Me too, but 4.5 inch is fine with me. But i really like the capacitive buttons why would they remove something that's good. :confused:
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Iono, having buttons that are completely software controlled could open up ALOT of customization possibilities and added functionality. Imagine if the user were able by default to arrange the basic buttons in what ever way they want and easily remap them or add fucntionality to them since the source code for them will be released as well. I dont see it as them removing something good but rather replacing with something that has more potential. It doesnt look so bad considering how the HC tablets handle everything with out capacitive buttons.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
The capacitive buttons are only on when the screen is on (or should be), they work the same way that touching the screen works, so why not put them on the screen?

I personally like that (to a degree) on HC. Now sometimes I would argue otherwise. I think the Devs need to think about it more. In dungeon defenders some of the buttons end up right by the home/menu buttons and it can make for an accidental back to home screen press now and then. I have had this with capacitive buttons as well but there is more of a buffer area and I can flip the phone on most apps to alleviate that problem.

However if the devs could maybe have the buttons hide until that area was tapped to bring them up and then tap again to use (like a confirmation click almost), then you could get slightly more screen real estate on the same sized phone and it would look a bit slicker.

I dunno, I am not saying is is completely better, we all have preferences. However considering they want something for phones and tablets and HC has this built in I am assuming they are going this route. However I wouldn't be surprised if it was a feature that could be turned off and on so that it would be compatible with "old phones".
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
those are good points. and with haptic feedback, i guess there isn't much difference.

but it seems to me that the aspect ratio and resolution of the screen would be weird, so watching videos in landscape would have black bars on the sides (which bugs me for some reason when).

i don't know. i'm not really judging the idea yet because i haven't seen it implemented.
[HTC Sensation] reymunoz:
Does anyone know of any apps to fix the low audio output for watching videos. Music and call colume is fine for me...but I can barely make out the words on any video I play...even with the SRS enchancments on...I guess I'm looking for something to boost the audio output using any video player. I've tried "equalizer" but it didn't work at all in boosting the volume. Thanks.
