[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Nobody I know uses Google Talk. Frankly, the tablet app is limited garbage.
[Acer Iconia A500] skydeve:
what kind of app? As I know, Google Talk works well.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
I used Google Talk with my Girlfriend when she was abroad. She uses an iPad and we were able to do video chat when she installed an app called vTok which links to Google Talk. I used the regular Google Talk app on my a500 and it worked fine until a vTok update was released for the iPad. There is a vTok app for android too, but it didn't seem to work properly. Very strange.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Vtalk, Gtalk, any Xtalk, nothing coming close to skype at the moment. Im not saying those talk apps don't work but the wide spread of skype worldwide is well known since pc took off.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
what i think:

the tegra 2 chipset contains also the graphics processor hence it possibly handles the screen, hdmi, and the cameras. therefor Skype will have to rewrite the driver interface to comply with the tegra 2 drivers. In fact samsung just came out with a new phone which is using the tegra 2 chipset, that means earlier or later skype will support that one and possible also all other tegra 2 devices.

Since skype has been purchased by Microsoft, there is a strong believe that it will be integrated into MSN Messenger, but i also think earlier or later it will also interface with Google talk. If it does not, it will harm the Messenger more than google talk which is very fast growing.

So i would suggest that we wait for 3.2 and then see if skype moves, and there is a big chance that it does, they may be just don't want to support another 3.1 version and have to rewrite everything again for 3.2.

In fact the development environment for 3.2 includes the possibility to make one software for different machines, that will avoid making device specific software for each different type of chipset, especially since nvidia tegra 3 is soon to be coming out.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
No. There is a standard Android API for querying and utilizing cameras. Skype managers just don't wish to admit that they won't be releasing video calling for other devices yet because they've made a contract with the manufacturers of the selected ones so they'll make some extra cash. It's simply a marketing and segmentation trick.

By Microsoft, not Windows.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
that's true, however the API has changed recently because of 3.2. and some of the other develpment tools also. so i still think skype will take care of the tegra 2 chipset but lateron when 3.2 is largely deployed, since all tegra 2 tablets will have 3.2.

sorry change windows to microsoft in original reply.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I am currently an owner of the viewsonic g tablet. The gtab, notion ink adam, and several other earlier tablets with the tegra 2 have been completely abandoned by nvidia and google. These early devices only get 2.2. While nvidia has said they will continue to support these harmony tegra 2 devices as long as the manufacturer continues to support it, viewsonic (the manufacturer of the gtab) has released a statement saying nvidia no longer supports the harmony tegra 2. The xoom, iconia a500, and transformer are all ventana tegra 2.

The point is I have a feeling the same thing will happen to all ventana tegra 2 devices soon. For example, skype could only release a video skype app version for tegra 3 and those of us with tegra 2 will be screwed.

This is not the first time this has happened.
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
So now that the Teamwin guys have temporary root for us, will programs like z4, gingerbreak and all those guys be able to give us permanent root? I have a feeling this is a no due to the bootloader still being locked. I am no dev expert, but I just wanted some food for thought here.
[HTC EVO 3D] SAShady:
No
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Once fre3vo has been pushed to the phone and chmodded, why couldn't you just execute fre3vo in the startup/boot process?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
Since this is temporary root, it won't stick if the phone is turned off, restarted etc. Actually, after some time the system rw restarts it self so su permissions will vanish randomly, from what I've been reading.
[HTC Sensation] dvande:
Has anyone have any problems with things like gameboid or psx4droid not scaling correctly and not loading a rom.

Like when I try to load a rom it either freezes or flashes the controls and then goes back to the menu to select the rom.
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Sorry guys, but after googling and posting on the official thread, I'd like to warn others regarding CF3d.

Sure it 'works', and the concept is good. But on the SGS2 the only game it will allow you to run (that you otherwise woudln't be able to run) are:

- Fruitninja THD

- Pinball THD

- Samurai HD

At 2 or 3 quids (forgot how much I paid) it's just not worth it on the SGS2 at least for now. I was expecting NOVA2, Backstab, Galaxy on fire 2, the SIms 3, etc.

I bought each only to have refund because no driver would work, and at best you get missing textures everywhere.

Avoid or stick to the free version.
[Galaxy S II General] efjbdejong:
You are so wrong man.

Chainfire allowed me to run star battalion and galaxy on fire 2.

Do your homework before shouting such comments.

EJ
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
You can play GoF2 without any glitch or missing textures whatsoever?

Edit: any of the other games I mentionned? Because I did 'my homework' and I would be more than happy to be proven wrong
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Yeah Fysi has played GoF2 without issue, in fact he didn't really comment on the CF-3D part, rather on the gameplay...

Do you have all the plugins, and required shaders?
[Galaxy S II General] terrorisk:
yeah...plugins is a must have item in terms of changing suitable chipset for each and every type of games......:)
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Looks like basically there isn't a list of games that FULLY work because quite simply only 3 or 4 do.

Shame... too late for a refund, too.
[Galaxy S II General] GANJDROID:

I've had no issues playing any Tegra 2 specific game after installing it.

[Galaxy S II General] efjbdejong:
oh I forgot Riptide too.

EJ
[Galaxy S II General] efjbdejong:
GOF2 has indeed some glitch, riptide none whatsoever.

Also star battalion runs without problems.

EJ
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Did you even read the replies before you replied?
[Galaxy S II General] buck naked:
I agree that there isn't a killer-app that makes Chainfire3D a requirement, but I'm happy with the investment.

The ability to tweak OpenGL settings per-app, not just Tegra games, with the texture and FSAA controls adds a lot of value for me. The plugins for individual shaders, PowerVR and Qualcomm chipsets, plus NightMode and the Market patches...

Chainfire's €2.99 isn't hard to justify here.
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Ditto. Especially since i used his method to root my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
Games working for me on Galaxy S II, also now gives you option to force MSAA in games so it improves image quality in every game, well worth the price.

Star Battalion (qualcomm)

Racer 3D (qualcomm)

Riptide GP (nvidia + shader)

T-Racer HD (nvidia)

GOF2 (nvidia) (graphics issue)

Pinball HD (nvidia)

Fruitninja THD (nvidia)

Samurai HD (nvidia)

Guerrilla Bob THD (nvidia)(framerate issue)
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
Thank you Shocky2!

No problem, you find any more working let me know. :)

Allows me to run x-plane, the only 'game' I play on my sgs2, well worth the few euros!
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
I paid for the app, I can't have a refund, and it doesn't deliver what I expected it it do? That makes me a prick? Fanboy.

Edit: So far less than 10 games confirmed to work, half with glitches. Unless you know something no one else does.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
There's a fair list at http://games-chainfire.wikia.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_i9100

If you play about with settings and whatnot, you can get a fair few to work, but some might need a shader pack installed.

What will happen if I upgrade mango beta and missing my backup?

I upgrade to mango beta yesterday, I follow the instruction and the program tell me the backup progress is 100% done.

But today I went to Windows Phone Update directory and it just only list one directory "Properties" and Properties.xml.

My windows phone is HTC HD7, is that possible copy others backup and restore on my HD7?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
You'll probably be able to find a NoDo ROM online, so come time for the official release you should be ok.

It will just be a slightly bigger hassle since you don't have quick access to your own is all.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
I was wondering this too, I did the mangoforall update, and the directory in the route drive was only 4.00kb, I also was like WTF.

To use the backup, you needed to install the Windows Phone support tools, remember ??? Check that folder, it comes out on mine to a little over 5gb, and I am pretty sure(95%) that is where the backup is stored.

If your that worried, try to do a restore, if it works you can go right back to Mango, it just will take some time....

I personally would of liked clearer directions, I was kind of freaked out too. I also would like to backup this backup to DVD or another computer, to make sure I have a copy to roll back later.

Edit: Found the details on it...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luerdelphic:
the back up files are so huge.....

as i forget to delete my music and video and games, i got a back up file folder lager than 9G
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talys:
Backup location

According to the Microsoft PDF, the backup location is:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\

followed by the unique ID of the device (for example e64ab58e - 58d.....)

My folder is 2.2GB. To restore, you go to Zune and pick Settings/Phone/Update/Restore.

If you received a Microsoft Connnect invite, the agreement had like 5 places where it made you check "I swear on the blood of my ancestors that I will back up because backups are holy". The instructions, invites, everything say "backup, backup, backup, backup, backup, backup.... copy your backup to a USB stick and put it in a bank vault". And then kind of finishes with, "did we mention, you need to back up, or your phone will be stuck in pre-Mango?"

So... I would suggest... you back up :)

It took my phone only about 2-3 minutes to back up, using MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe (much less than 531 seconds on their screenshot). Mind you, the next step (provisioning, where it says, "Installing Updates") took a lot longer than their 18 seconds (I think about 79 sec).

But like, 5 minutes is way better than "OMG MY STOOPID PHONE IS STUCK IN ****ING PRE MANGO" 2 months from now. Like, maybe they know something we don't and flashing back to NoDo is harder than it looks.

It was painless, really. Backing up took less time than reading about how important it was to back up :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mowd:
Actually I DO backup.

I just didn't check the backup location and re-check whether the backup is exist.

I just don't know why the upgrade tool says the backup progress is complete but it didn't save ANY backup on my computer.

That's all...

If you want the latest vrs which is 6/11/11 than you need to download the full vrs which is located above the no wipe link

[HTC EVO 3D] YACO:
While they are working on permissions and Titanium Backup, you can disable Sprint bloatware with the temp root.

Once you have temp root, go in adb shell and type:

pm list packages <- (this will show you the list of packages)

pm disable NAME_OF_PACKAGE <-(type the name of the package you want to disable)

Disabling is not as good as uninstalling but it unloads the package from memory, from the list of apps, etc... the .apk is still there but it won't be accessible.

Here's a list of packages from Sprint i have disabled

pm disable com.amazon.mp3

pm disable com.gameloft.android.SPRINT.GloftSMHP.ML

pm disable com.blockbuster.app.htc

is there any ways of flashing a Stock recovery image from my pc?

Installing Clockworkmod from the PC is what you should have done in the first place. It's far easier and prevents many hassles.

Follow this post, and use Fastboot to flash Clockworkmod again. Or, if you would rather not have Clockworkmod and necessarily want the Stock Recovery, flash an RUU, it will restore the stock recovery.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HareyCarey:
Sometimes, when I go to press the menu key on the phone my keyboard will pop up. When it does, the menu button's light turns off while the back key, search key and home key stay lit. It takes about 7seconds and then the menu button lights back up and I am able to hit the back key to take the keyboard off of the screen. This has happened on my home screen and in several other programs and even in settings menus. Any ideas on this? I'm not tech illiterate, but I can't find anything else on it. I am NOT holding the button down like a long press. I am aware of the fact that this is a normal function otherwise. But, this is acting strangely and very aggravating.

Edit: did a factory reset and deleted any apps having access to keyboard and the hold down menu for keyboard function is no longer there so that may have been a third party app. Hasn't done anything in a few minutes like it had been so maybe I lucked out.
