I found several but they were WAY too pricy...

Hi,

I contacted Netcom the manufacturer and have gotten virtually nothing from them. I contacted 'Tyfone' and they wanted $10,000 for a android developers kit. Then I tried 'Device Fidelity' and they wanted $999 for a android developers kit. Then I tried 'Logomotion' and they were only interested if I was some big bank or user that would buy lots and lots of product for payment systems. I also tried 'SpecTec' but their product seems to be possible vapor ware. In short if you are not doing payment systems or are not loaded then you are out of luck. I am amazed that no one seems interested in the huge potential for this technology beside payment systems.

Maybe NFC as an accesory: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html

2.3.4 is compatibile with ADK :)

But module would be quiete big...

According to nfcworld.com/2011/09/23/310148/tyfones-nfc-on-microsd-technology-to-go-into-volume-production, "Tyfone’s NFC-on-microSD technology to go into volume production", from September 2011:

So still no cigar, I guess.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] barry99705:
I'm not even going to worry about NFC until they show up at Wal-Mart. That's when they will explode. Until then they're a novelty that only works in very few select places, kinda like Windows. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjslaugh:
This maybe a dumb question, but I am stumped:

If you had a chance to get an Optimus Pad(32GB) for only $250 vs getting the new Samsung Tab 10.1(16GB) for retail price $499.99. What would you get?

After taxes that almost a $300 diff
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosif yackson:
Galaxy Tab Samsung is on a roll in my opinion and in most cases you get what you pay for
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjslaugh:
thanks for the info
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnn1:
With a G-Slate(LG Optimus Pad), don't you have to also sign a 2 year data plan? At least, in the US, it's only available as a T-mobile exclusive, which needs contact (no wifi-version). So, if you factor in being saddled to a data plan, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab is actually cheaper.

And if you're drawn to the G-Slate(Optimus Pad) cause of the smaller form factor of an 8.9 inch screen, then probably better to wait for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 due "before the end of Summer."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
If that's all you have to pay (no contract or 3g fees) the LG is a no brainer.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Agent3:
Hey all. I have a Optimus T. I had flash to openOptimus rom. Everything was working great. I original made a backup before I flashed (it seems like its has corrupted) and after I flashed. So after testing I decided to switch back to stock. I tried using LG support tool but it seems to have made things worse?

When I boot up, I see: LG logo, stick together from t mobile, engerystar, cpu type..., and lastly the android characters from openOptimus. After a few seconds, it reboots in the same cycle. I can't even seem to boot in setup anymore (hold home+vol_down).

I'll be happy with any working rom.

Please help me out here. Thanks in advance.

edit: title should say, never ending loop.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
Can you boot into emergency mode?

If you can, you should be able to flash a KDZ rom. I think its "Back" button + vol down + power.

Although, hard reset should work. Try taking out the battery for a while, put it back in. Pres and hold Home+VolDown and press the power button. and keep holding the home and voldown.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Agent3:
That is exactly what I did earlier and now its fully working again. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] filmaker:
Okay quick question about the HTC EVO 3D upgrade. So when I text the number (I can't remember the number lol) with the word "upgrade" It tells me I'm not eligible until 5/1/2012. However, at my local radioshack, the rep informed me that I'm eligible for an upgrade on my line, and I could get the EVO 3D for $199 (also trade in my old EVO) Now, I'm just a little bit confused..how am I elgible for an upgrade now? Also, if I did upgrade, that would extend my contract meaning I won't be able to upgrade until 2013, right? Oh, and I heard about people talking about manual overide, what is that? Thanks sorry just a little bit confused.
[HTC EVO 3D] TweetyBear:
the number is 1311. it's probably nest to check online or contact sprint and ask when your upgrade is. if you can get upgrade now, be sure to ask for a loyalty credit. it's at most $70 applied to your line for extending contract for two years. that is if you're planning on upgrading anyways.
[HTC EVO 3D] filmaker:
Okay and you know anything about manual override
[HTC EVO 3D] Flash473:
You will be able to upgrade after one year....2012. If you renew your contract for two more years again. Another great perk with Sprint....
[HTC EVO 3D] filmaker:
Okay I'm so sorry for my noobness, but am I getting this right. I want to upgrade next year (actually may of next year is my 22 months mark) So let's says I got an Evo 3D its 199 with the 2-year contract. Meaning that I won't be able to upgrade until 2013. But I could request a manual override so I can upgrade next year? Lol once again sorry for so many questions...I just like to upgrade yearly as suppose to two year.
[HTC EVO 3D] TweetyBear:
afaik, the override was for people who previously had premiere gold til they changed the requirements. they were letting people get their year upgrade that they were supposed to as if they were on gold. if you upgrade now, you can either upgrade again next year or two years from now depending on your status with them, premiere gold is every year I think. idk about silver
[HTC EVO 3D] onepuff:
Sprint has something called a tier override going right now til July 31st. My fiance wasn't eligible til Dec but we got her a Nexus S 4g yesterday for $99. I won't be up for upgrade til June 2012 but rep at store said he could do the tier override on mine and I could get an EVO 3D for $50 (after my EVO 4G trade-in). I told him I would think about it. I'll be going in today to pull the trigger on that LOL!
[HTC EVO 3D] filmaker:
Okay..thanks I think I understand a little better. My only conodrum is that I want to get the Evo 3D, but I don't want to wait until 2013 to get another phone lol haha

i want to play avi files on my nook. im using cm7 on a sd card. is there a directory i can drop them in?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
In whatever folder u put them,just make sure that your video player app reads from this folder.

Sent from Nook Color on Cm7 Nightly 129 @1.325Mhz
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If your uSD has available space then you can put the avi there or you can put it in the eMMC /media, you should have at least 1GB if you have not used it for anything else.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I'd recommend the free Vital Player for playing .avi files on Android. You can store them anywhere you wish and just tell Vital Player where they are (or just browse to them)...

what changes did u all felt?
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
Did it few mins back! The only change I could see was my google email account activating by itself on the mobile!!!

BTW I downloaded using my 2G data connection (good ol'Airtel). It took about 25 mins to download ~ 1MBpmin or about 17 KBps speed. Its pretty decent for a 2G connection. Means I was on EDGE and not GPRS.
[HTC Sensation] B1ackbird:

any significant changes

BUT for me i am currently seeing much better battery life... Sincerely hope and pray that it stays this way....
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
Me too! Now when it is in idle it seems there is absolutely no battery consumption!!! Observed it yesterday as well as today. Yesterday the battery meter went down by maybe 5-6% in about 5 hours. Today Also similar observation. Its fantastic!

If you see the services section there is only HTC service now running...they seem to have clubbed there services so that they dont run in different directions and suck the hell out of the battery... Seems to be managing battery life slightly better.

[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
HTC sensation 2.3.4 update

Has anyone updated yet if so could you please tell me the difference or just update this post. What are the fixes and issues that are resolved in this update?

Thanks

Nash
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
It gave my screen tons and tons of problems.. like lock screen issue and horrible scrolling... Until I performed a factory reset. Working fine now,fingers crossed though
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
Applied 2.3.4 OTA today morning. Phone is now noticeably smoother, though it wasnt any slouch earlier. One other difference I note is Facebook app is also changed. It is improved now. Also I can take a screenshot by pressing Power button and then home button. This facility was not there earlier.

No other noticeable differences observed so far. Still the same old market :( When will google/htc update it for sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
Following are the pointers that I would observe after the update. Let me know if you found any issues or concerns around these pointers

1) Network connectivity - Including the data connectivity such as Edge, 3G and Wifi

2) Stability - Does your phone randomly restarts / reboots or hangs

3) Touch Screen - Unresponsiveness and freezing

4) Battery backup

Thanks

Nash
[HTC Sensation] wr8_utd:
The update has been available since this morning. Will do it soon.

Is it worth the upgrade?
[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
@wr8_utd - Not sure whether it is worth. Because I haven't heard back from HTC India regarding the changes/differences/ bug fixes that have been bundled in this patch

May be HTC India Support team themself don't know about the update lol ;)

Ideally they should have given some info regarding what the patch would do

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
with 2.3.4 ota, browser now plays 1080p flash without stutter.
[HTC Sensation] wr8_utd:
It's definitely much faster now. I love the screen shot as well.

Sense seems to restart more than before but overall it's a very good update.

Yet to see how it's going to impact battery performance.
[HTC Sensation] kanav bhasin:
My browser quits automatically and it also takes screenshots when I press home. I guess my browser screwd up after the update
[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
@ brusko1972- not sure if the Canadian updates are similar to the ones in India..

@wr8_utd & kanav bhasin - could you please elaborate as to how you are able to take screen shots

P.S - just updated the software will play with it for a while before I post my comments

Thanks

India OTA update to 1.45.720.2

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CTOJHZWJ
[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
It's been eleven days since Android Police published this story detailing the discovery by Trevor Eckhart of some serious security issues within HTC's more recent software. Three days after that HTC responded, and now, a further week or so later, we are seeing reports of an "important security update" being pushed to HTC Sensations throughout Europe.

Now this update is available in India from 29th Oct 2011. While HTC does not specify exactly what the ~9 MB update addresses, the timing seems right to relate to the preceding story. Besides alluding to some positive-sounding "performance improvements and new features", the update description does not mention any further details, and HTC certainly doesn't dwell on the nature of the security update itself.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I still haven't gotten the update :( - Denmark.
[HTC Sensation] Nashinxs:
Quick Update - After you install the ~ 9 MB file. Check for update again you will get a ~400 KB update as well not sure what that is for...

Has somebody in India done this??

Will check any improvements and post the same....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
I had a defective G2X and got a new one today. I tried to root this one the same way I did my other, but now the problems in the subject line are showing up.

*I rooted using one-click

*I couldn't get NVFlash to work using the vol up/down and pluggin in USB so I just flashed it using ROM manager

*Wiped

Now, I still cannot get NVFlash on because the phone doesn't show up while using vol up/down + plug in usb.

ROM manager doesn't have root privileges (even though one-click says phone is rooted)

Can't access recovery. It just shows the Android sitting next to the box with the orange arrow.

I do have the SDK... Is there a way to flash the 2.2.2 recovery using that? I haven't had to use ADB in ages and have forgotten most of the commands.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
In addition...

Tried mounting and it is coming up as Mount: No such tool:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
You'll have to NVFlash properly.

I think you are forgetting to remove the battery when attempting to NVFlash.

Remove battery

Hold Vol+/- and plug in the USB

The computer should ding and load the APX drivers. Then just use the NVFlash One-Click app to load the latest ClockWorkMod.

Focus on fixing the known issues before trying to attempt another project. Besides I don't think ADB will work if the phone is dead.

Once you successfully NVFlash, from No Power, hold Vol Down and Power until it powers on and dumps you into ClockWorkMod Recovery.

There you can flash a custom rom, or restore a downloaded Stock Nandroid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
After repeated attempts, I got NVflash to work properly. However, when trying to get into recovery through ROM manager, it does nothing. If I try to use the volume down key while powering up, I get the "please wait while upgrading".

EDIT: Did the same steps no less than 20 times... the 21st made it work. :shrug:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Texan28:
It shouldn't have been that difficult ....it's an easy 1,2,3 process ....as long as you got it to work thats fine...theres a step by step vid on YouTube on how to root our phone with NVflash...mind you its 15 min long, as long as you follow it exactly how he does it...it works!!! Good luck!
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Okay so I've been doing android stuff since it's launch and had a G1 at launch, but I've never seen this happen before. Maybe someone can help me out here.

Every time I reboot the DS7, it restores to the exact same state, with the same apps, same data, every thing. It's like saving an emulator in its current state and keep rebooting into that state.

So I decide I want to restore to stock, so I tried fastboot and nvflash. Both seemed to do their job in command line, but when I rebooted, back to the same state as before. I also tried flashing another ROM, none will flash (errors out).

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm absolutely stumped here.

Thanks,

Derek

I also have this issue with my galaxy nexus, its sooooo frustrating that there is nothing that can fix this issue.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Sounds like your Streak is stuck in Read Only for which the only fix is sending back to DELL if nothing changed after an NVFlash

All you should need to do is flash a stock firmware via Odin and reformat your innerSD

:) hello people:) im excited to get my new phone this week. i just called and spoke with retentions dept. I have 2 lines and both have exspired contracts. I told them i was thinking of switching providers to get a new (free):cool: phone. The rep was very nice and said we will send u 2 HTC Sensations free! :eek:woo hoo!! can't wait to get it. hopefully ill be able to root them! anyways just wanted to share my good news!!
[HTC Sensation] 2Noob4U:
Nice. I just bought a Sensation yesterday. I told them I was going to Verizon and they credited my account $80 and let me keep my brand new G2x (For Sale by-the-way)

I like it because it doesn't keep turning off randomly...
[HTC Sensation] honiebun:
cool!! i wanted the g2x but they said it was out of stock? im guessing the sensation is compairable!
[HTC Sensation] Overstew:
Wow, I wish I could do this with Sprint.
[HTC Sensation] drummr8:
bummer... i tried this, and the best they'd offer me was BOGO for the Sensations :(
[HTC Sensation] honiebun:
I wouldnt give up.:confused: I tried a couple of times. the first time I was trying to get the g2x and they said it was Out of stock. I still had a month left on my contract. so i called a month later and the first rep i talked to tried to offer me the Galaxy S 4g for 174.00 I said no and asked for the retentions dept. thats where i found hog heaven! No problem at all. only catch was I had to renew my contract for 2 more years. but got 2 free phones and also I forgot that I got my monthly bill lowered. I was paying the 139.99 for 2 lines unlimited everything. they dropped it to :rolleyes:98.00!!!
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Wow, you are lucky...:eek:

oh also! That i thought it was crazy to pay an 18.00 upgrade fee per line!!! so the dropped the upgrade fee on both my lines!

[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
I just got a Sensation from Telstra in Australia...

Great phone, but as usual, heaps of their bloatware on there.

One thing I know Gingerbread does, which I had on my custom rom for the HTC Desire, was the power on/off "tv style" screen collapse effect.

Does anyone have this on the Sensation ? Not sure if it should be there and telstra stuffed it up, or HTC has removed it.

Anyway to get it to happen before the phone is rooted?

Warmly, Marty
[HTC Sensation] swissman:
Nope... I don't have it on mine (Swiss Carrier). I like that effect but seems like it has been removed by HTC. Correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
Well, That sucks!!!

Ok, next question....

Does anyone know if its possible to "load" that effect in an apk?
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
I just sent a tech support email to HTC to ask where the setting is to turn this on...(ie: It's a feature of Gingerbread, HTC Sensation runs Gingerbread so how do I do it?....) if everyone else does the same...

Marty

PS. and this is WHY they should not lock the bloody bootloader - I would just put on a custom sense3 rom that had it added back...
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
I have actually taken the framework-res.apk and decompiled it or whatever with apk manager and I have added the necessary fix, but this being my first time messing with that, it failed :( couldn't get it to build again :/ I read that it was an issue with sense, blur and so on Roms but I tried :/ maybe someone more talented than I can do it :D
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
Adusting the framework.apk - that would not work until you have s-off or root anyway would it?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
They removed the affect that you get when you reach the bottom of a menu. Not sure why they did that.
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
We have temp root already which let's us change the system files until next reboot. So I was thinking it might work, don't know until I'd be able to finish compiling that thing :/

Idk I'm just a noob when it comes to that lol
