i checked that page about a month ago and the olympus number showed 12. now its at 15. i am pretty sure it is actually someone doing some testing with cyanogen on an atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
That's good news. Hopefully the number keeps going up. heh.

So that was almost a week ago. Apparently yesterday, aliasxerog tweeted something about a "kernel cooking as we speak", so that's also good news along these lines

[General Questions and Answers] DarsVaeda:
Hi,

I have two question:

1. How to convert videos on Ubuntu for usage in Android

2. Recommendations for a ebook reader with specific features I would need

My actual question on this board:

Where do I ask that stuff on this forum?

There are general forums for android, but they are all seemingly limited to developers.

Also my questions are not to device specific...

Where do I ask those questions?
[General Questions and Answers] teguhpangestu:
Hi,

for your question

1. In Ubuntu you can use pitivi or another video editor, there's so easy to get it using Synaptic.

2. try Aldiko.

CMIIW,... Hope it would help

:)
[General Questions and Answers] squallrblade:
oh cool :)
[General Questions and Answers] DarsVaeda:
Thanks, but that was not my question.

Still want to know where to ask that stuff.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
So I recently "upgraded" from a Nexus One to a Sensation, I've bought the Canadian version from Bell. Anyways, it seems that all text messages I receive are -4 of the current time I am in. I remember having this issue in the Windows Mobile days and it was fixed by a cab.

However, I am led to believe that this is an issue with the whole "Bell OS" that the carrier has put on the phone. Using a Bell SIM card all times appear normally, but using a Rogers card it gets all messed up.

Is there a way to fix this without root?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Do u have your date, time set to auto?
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I've tried disabling that, and restarting and still nothing.
[HTC Sensation] CoolinHL:
I'm pretty sure this is a common Rogers problem and is not Sensation specific. I've seen this on the Desire Z forum too. I think there's an app on the market called SMS Time Fix or something like that to fix the problem. I think some apps like Handcent also have a built in timeshift option as well, which would fix this problem.
[HTC Sensation] def-g:
Yeah had the same issue with my Desire before root. SMS time fix works great.

G
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
Weird how it doesn't effect my Nexus One. I have checked out the app in the market, and it seems like kind of a cheat for a fix. But what the hell, I'll take it for now. Until we get S-Off and flashing, I guess it's my only option.

Any other Sensation Rogers users getting this?
[HTC Sensation] Schott:
All my friends and I using Rogers have this problem :=/

Have no idea what the North American telephone vendors are doing. They suck :=D
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I've been doing some Googling for a while, and I mean a while, and I have come across dozens of threads discussing this (whoops).

Anyways it seems that on Bells network, they send you the timecode in GMT, making the phone fix it. Whereas Rogers ends you the timecode in your time zone. In this case, the Bell phone is still thinking the time is GMT so it "fixes" the time again thus causing GMT-4x2 and causing said offset.

After fiddling around with the time and time zone for a good while this is my new conclusion.

- The actual time the phone is set to, makes no difference. I set my phone to be 1AM and I still got the timecode as 5:11 (when the current time is 9:11).

- However when I changed the timezone to GMT -5, the timecode appeared as 4:11.

So whatever the time is in the time zone the phone is set to -4.
[HTC Sensation] samsungy:
Had the same problem with my new and unlocked Bell Samsung Galaxy Gio on Rogers network and nothing helped.

Here's how I fixed it:

in Date and Time, I disabled the automatic time setting and then selected my time zone to GMT +0.0 (Greenwich Meantime) and then manually adjusted my local time in Toronto and voila!

Hope this works for you guys too.
[HTC Sensation] waltthizzney:
hey I use a bell sensation on rogers to.... one day it just fixed itself

on a side note, I S-off and switched to Revolution 2 days ago and the phone is a million times better all that bell bloatware gone!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanobacteria:
I know tmobile is supposed to charge you for these features, but with the Cyanogen mod does it bypass this restriction for free?

Pretty much in a nutshell, can I use the USB/Wifi tethering in Cyanogen 7 for free?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
It doesnt matter if your on a rom. Im running eVil D:'s sense 3.0/3D rom and they still charge me.

They charge us noe because at&t started doing it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
Even tho this rom turns my phone into a sprint htc evo 4g when I share my wifi
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Technically, they should charge you for it. However i feel it's 5Gb of data that you pay for. Regardless of if it's on a phone, tablet or computer.

With that being said. T-Mobile may pick up what browser you are using, by using a sniffer. If they see you are using a full blower browser they may very well charge you.

but until they do, it's free.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
The do charge you
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elimherr:
i teather all the time and never get charged. I'm on unlimited datta plantho so not sure if this makes a diff
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Tethering via usb or wirelessly, no matter which way, you will not get charged. I been tethering since I got the phone and never been charged a dime.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
That statement is correct. T-mobile won't do like AT&T has been doing. If T-mobile catches it then the tethering gets blocked and you have to add the feature to get it working again but that's kind of hit or miss and if you don't use it much then the system might no ever flag your account.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanobacteria:
Thanks for all the replies! I think I understand how this works now

Pretty much if I were going to be charged, it would notify me. Thanks everyone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
The only accounts that can have all you can eat at full speeds would be employee plans. Doesn't matter if you're rooted or not, because they've caught and stopped quite a few lines with rooted w/custom ROMs from tethering. Your account just hasn't been flagged.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netfish5:
I haven't been charged. If you ask they will say you have to add the feature at a charge. If you don't ask, they don't charge. T-mobile tends to be generous but I don't know if its intentional. I know they have holes in their system that let people get away with stuff.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
How do you know you're getting charged for tethering? Tmobile can't charge you for tethering without your consent. Only thing they can do is block you from using their tethering service since tethering is and actual paid service from tmobile.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .cw54o:
never been charged. even before i rooted my mytouch i tried the stock one for a WHILE. no extra charges at all. i believe ur only charged if u request a tether package. im not sure how/why the other user is being charged at all unless they have a tether package and not know it . . . my dad currently has the mytouch slide (3G) and recently got the froyo update and he's tethering with no issues. when i rooted his phone and installed wireless tether he STILL wasnt being charged.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_malina:
I have been tethering for over a year and not been charged. I don't know if its significant but my rate plan is from before they charged for the service.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
They will depending on your plan. My plan gives me free tethering so I can't complain.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
I don't see how anyone is getting charged for tethering unless they gave tmo permission to. Even my brother that's on flexpay doesn't get charged for tethering..

You could always root it for her and put CM7 on it.

Its better than Sense anyway :)

Although I'm not sure I've ever seen a setting for touch screen sensitivity in CM7.

But I haven't looked for it either.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] torture80:
Hello dear fellow HD users.

I want an application that allows me to capture video while having the screen closed in order to save battery and heat as well. I have noticed that when the screen is on the device is getting hotter and hotter as the time passes by, i am sure you have noticed it too.

I googled before posting this. I have found an application that closes the screen without putting the device to sleep mode but it doesn't do the job because i cannot enable it after i have the video recorder started.

Does anyone know an application that does this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
i cannot promise that this works but have you tried quickshutdown?

it is available on the forum and you can set it up to only shut off the diplay w/o going to sleep.

and when you start recording and then pressing the power button, it should continue recording but the screen should be off.
[Thrive General] goodintentions:
Did anyone see the new toshiba thrive yet? Sure, it's got nice features, but it's thicker and heavier than the gtab. Remember all those whines about how humongous and heavy the gtab was? Some people even described it as weighing a ton. Well, how on Earth are the going to survive with the thrive? LOL
[Thrive General] TarheelGrad1998:
I have one. Bought one Sunday as an upgrade to the gTab for me and handed off the gTab to my wife.

And overall, it is an upgrade. Honeycomb stock out of the box. Screen is much better, no problems with viewing angles. It weighs more and is slightly larger, but I don't notice. And with the weight and the textured back, it is actually easier to hold onto than the gTab.

Also, GPS, full size SD, user replaceable battery, and rear camera...all big upgrades over the gTab. Not as much modding yet, and the bootloader is locked, but it's coming.

The few negatives over the gTab: price (obviously), the charging cable is a laptop-like brick, and the SD card fits in the top and sticks out slightly (vs being tucked away in the gTab). Volume and portrait are the reverse...not so much a negative, but having to get used to.
[Thrive General] gruuk:
I'm all for more tegra 2-based tablets on the market; I doubt I'll buy one as my gTab does what I need after some fiddling, but if someone just wants something that works out of the box (and has good specs for a reasonable price), the Thrive looks like a decent option. Then again, so is the eeePad.
[Thrive General] MechAniX.one:
If I can sell enough crap on craigslist Im just going to buy an ipad2. I dont care what my wife says. She can wait for her damn diamond ear rings! Google OS = Fail in my eyes. I was hopeful, i waited, and with no out reach to the people who asked for help. They have failed us. With only a couple of months away, iOS5 is looking mighty fine. And believe me, its a sad day when I buy an Apple product. 20 year hater.....soon to be lover. :mad:
[Thrive General] goodintentions:
Here's my take on apple vs google vs microsoft.

I love apple. I highly recommend it to everyone. I absolutely love the fact that they make their software with dummies in mind. Speaking as the techie that's been helping dummies for years, it is at times frustrating. I'm certainly glad there's a company out there that makes all their softwares with dummies in mind.

The only reason I don't use apple products is I want to keep myself on my toes. I don't want to ever become lazy minded. I want to constantly force myself to learn new things. This is why I regularly purposely do dumb things to my gadgets to replicate people's problems.

I say go for the ipad. It is a great product. I've used it before. I absolutely love it. You'll have a great time with it.
[Thrive General] brettdwagner:
The Thrive looks great. The inclusion of a full size SD Card slot seems so obvious for a device this size. It frustrates me to no end that the Gtab requires a micro SD Card, which results in more expensive storage for slower throughput. A 32GB Class 10 SD card is $50 compared to the $80 Class 4 Micro SD equivalent. When I get my quad core tablet a year from now there better be a SD Card port.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
The bootloader is unlocked from the factory. I know, because I bricked my Thrive :(
[Thrive General] jpinks:
I thought G-Tab didnt have an SD SLOT???
[Thrive General] flash_c4:
There is a microSD slot and USB port on the left side under the cover right below the power button.
[Thrive General] Rotary Parts:
I just picked up a thrive and i think it is Awesome!! had a asus eepad and went through three of them because of screen bleed. the thrive is awesome full usb, HDMI, and sdcard the docks are dirt keep. battery backs comes in different colors. the asus doesn't compare in my book neither does the g-tablet. it was my first tablet and the viewing area sucked.
[Thrive General] TidBit:
Let's hope so since it is about double the price of a G Tablet.
[Thrive General] Rotary Parts:
but i loved the asus too but the screen bleed was killing me. don't get me wrong i loved the g-tab too used it everyday.

It's beefy... But has a nice selection of ports to use.
[Thrive General] Ken B:
Couple of pre-purchase questions

Hi, I have been considering the Thrive. I have several questions I hope some owner could answer:

1. I have a TripleHead2Go Digital Edition configured to 2-23" Asus monitors. Could a HDMI to DVI cable be used with the Thrive to power these two monitors thru the TH2GO?

2. Currently I have a laptop that I use wirelessly in our office to access the server files. Would this be possible on the Thrive?

3. How good is the speech to text for email composing?

Thanks for looking and especially if you can answer. Ken B
[Thrive General] CROMWarGOD:
On the Fence Between the Thrive and Galaxy ab 10.1

I am leaning towards the Thrive cuz of the full usb, hdmi, replaceable battery,and sd slot. However, The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is sexy! I have an Ipad, so I think I might just grab the Thrive instead.
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
I was in the same boat, but went with the thrive because of the included convenient full sized ports, and removable battery. For example, the HDMI adapter for the galaxy tab is 50-60$ alone. THOUGH I did hear from someone that it has a usb and micro sd slot under the back cover, though I've never actually seen it.
[Thrive General] rushless:
I have the gTablet and bought & tried the A500 and Transformer. My gTablet is rooted and bloat free, but is slow compared to any of the other devices. Display also is something only it's momma' could love.

Thrive wins for me due to the ports and 64gb sdxc cards work fine (I have a Ultra Sandisk). All three newer tablets have good and bad, but the ports combo and better display than the A500 won out.

All three have far more good points than bad, but the bad stuck out for me:

A500=

-Slip magnet

-USB host located where the tablet would normally be held

-Fine black stripes going vertically on the display (panel arrays)

-Weak wifi radio that had issues keeping connection in low signal areas

-Sleep/wake issue that persists for some, even after recent update

Transformer=

-Display less responsive than A500 or Thrive

-Proprietary connection needed for data and power

-Have to buy the keyboard to get the expanded connectivity

Thrive=

-Sleep mode issue (now fixed, BTW and an update should be anytime now).

-LED lights are obtrusive (nothing some tape can not block or reduce)

-A little thicker, but more comfortable and better to grip as a result

I got the 16gb Thrive for $402 after the $100 Staples coupon and then bought a Ultra 64gb sdxc card for $120. $522 for a 80gb tablet :)

None the less for all three tablets, they are all IMO worth a few hundred $ more than the gTablet, due to MUCH MUCH better displays, faster performance and more stable. Not to mention Viewsonic SUCKS.

[GUIDE] Comprehensive "Rooted Android 2.3.4 with unlocked bootloader" instructions

This is a guide on how to go from Froyo to rooted Gingerbread. Also, I'm on AT&T. Others beware. I take no responsibility if you hard or soft brick your phone. :D

I went from a rooted install running Gingerblur v4.5, but this will likely work regardless of what you have installed, since fastboot overwrites everything.

I didn't actually discover or develop any of this, but I figured someone might like to have a comprehensive guide, instead of searching through 500 different threads like I did.​

Known/potential issues:

- Fingerprint scanner not functional False alarm

- Avoid using RSDLite for *anything* if you installed the OTA 2.3.4 build

- Battery reading is sometimes inaccurate

- If you have a limited RAM issue, read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
​

Step 0 - BACK UP EVERYTHING. Use Titanium backup, or just copy everything off your phone, whatever. This will leave you with an unlocked, rooted, but otherwise stock Motorola phone. Once this is done, set your USB mode to "None"

Step 1 - Install moto drivers

For x64 windows, use these: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634880&d=1308872277

For x32, http://www.multiupload.com/QNFILE4F07 (I havent tested these, I run Win7 x64)

Step 2 - Unlock your bootloader Note: some have hard bricked using RSDLite to install 1.8.3 over 4.5.91. Read warning here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160408

Download latest moto-fastboot from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 *the win32 version worked for me, and I run 64bit windows 7*

Follow instructions here: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader

Step 3 - Flash stock Gingerbread image (you can do this without restarting your phone from the unlock bootloader step)

Follow instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163342

Step 4 - Flash CWM Recovery

Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

Step 5 - Install root

Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159572

Note: I used my phone's USB Mass Storage mode to put the .zip on my external SD card. To get to recovery mode, shut down the phone. Then hold the power and volume up buttons until you see "fastboot." Use the volume down key to cycle through until you see "Android Recovery" then press volume up again. This will get you into the CWM environment, where you can navigate the menus to install the root .zip.

Step 6 - Restore your stuff

Now you should have a factory fresh Gingerbread / MotoBlur installation (didn't you miss the bloat?), with the addition of the superuser app. For tethering, I use Barnacle (requires root). I used Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps I don't want (anything beginning with AT&T, Blockbuster, Y!, etc.) and to reinstall all of my apps.​

Feel free to make any corrections, or ask questions. Hopefully someone finds this useful. All credit to the OP of each thread I linked to.
