Thanks!

SDSDQY-016G-U46 - as far as I know this is best card for HD2 so far

HD2 is not working best on class 10

class 6 is OK but still won't find better than SDSDQY-016G-U46 <- class 4 card

but it is not the same as normal Sandisk class 4

Cheers man

I'm going to find out in a week or two. I got impatient and ordered a PNY 16GB Class 10 MicroSDHC for Tablets from Costco (model P-SDU16G10TEFS2). They rate it as 15MB/s write and 20MB/s read. I thought my 8GB class 6 Sandisk Ultra SDSDQY-8192-A11M would be slow (due to being 2.5 years old), but I just benched it using SD tools and got 12MB/s write and 23.7MB/s read (go figure).

I received an invite from Google about 2 weeks after I applied and so far I love it. Streaming to my Evo 3D whether using Wireless, 4G or 3G connections has been very reliable so far.

I also tested Amazon's Cloud MP3 service, and found it stuttered so much I couldn't get through one song. I switched to Google Music in the same location with the same connection type and had no issues.

Even in beta, Google Music works better than Amazon's app. I very much recommend applying for the invite.

agree with everyone else. I got google music about a week after they started it up. Got over 5k songs on it (my entire collection) and never have any issues with it on my phone or playing it on a pc, its pretty awesome.

Note that it DOES take a long time to upload your collection if its large. Once you get it up though and have it running in the background of your computer and add any new songs to the folder its watching, it usually takes just a few minutes until its up on google music.

Overall, very awesome.

The plastic cover on my usb cable have started to crack(the end with the glowing "U") so I wondered what would happen if I changed the cable to an ordinary usb cable. I heard that the charger is more powerful than ordinary usb-charger, but is there something special with the cable as well?

And if there are, is there an easy way to mod a cable the same way? I don't live in the states, so it would be a hassle to get a replacement from BN.

Thanks in advance.

It's been rumored that rooted devices will not have access to rent/buy movies using Google's new Movie service.

Am I the only one holding back on rooting my device because of this? I tried thinking about it yesterday, and I do not know of any legitimate way to download a movie (legally - paid) and transfer to watch on my Tab. More to the point, I'd rather just rent at $5 than buy at $15.

I've been a rooter since I had a G1 and was always a proponent of rooting, but I don't want to lose what I feel is a key feature of a tablet -- the ability to watch movies.

I can confirm that movie playback is indeed prohibited when SU is discovered. I can also confirm that the work around listed previously, er, works.

iTunes it isn't, but it is a legit way of getting media on an Android device. Much better than Samsung's implementation.

I'm one of those odd people who will hack their device on a whim, but won't download illegal media. If I'm going to watch something, I'll rent or buy it.

Okay guys in United states ! I'm planning to buy a evo 3d but in Europe we're still waiting for it (now we get Lg Thrill...). I can't find any help regarding camera quality, compared to our x 10 (in 5 Mpx).

Since you have the evo 3d, can someone compare to our x10 sensor ?

Thanks !!

Here's a review of the EVO 3D:

www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-EVO-3D-Review_id2768​

The reviewer says the photos taken are just average in quality. There are also samples in the article.

My girlfriend has an EVO 4G, and I hate that results of that camera. When doing indoor shots without flash you'll end up with lots of blurry, dark, and grainy pictures. It also does not support macro which is a big fail given that the EVO 4G (or the 'Supersonic' elsewhere) was considered one of the best Android phones a year ago.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Thanks a lot for your answers :)

On x10, I can shoot in macro mode with (often) increible quality. But when it comes to shoot a bit far things, quality is very random.

It's very hard to tell because it's personal opinion, I know it will sound different if I post such topic on HTC forum ;)

And... Kinda harder, Optimus 3D (aka Thrill) vs EVO 3D vs x10 ? It looks the two 3d devices are almost the same. Some reviewers will soon do a big 3d compete (HTC, lg, Nintendo 3ds, g-slate, pro camera)...

I do try to find out what's the best device for shooting in these three phones :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Problem solved : I've actually ordered a Galaxy SII :p

I've compared HTC Sensation vs SII vs x10 thanks to GSMArena.

Sensation was fantastic as video recorder (in test) : very detailled, perfect fluidity, good saturation...

I finally chose the SII because :

- Saturation is less (altough I prefer Sensation saturation)

- Less contrast and less destructive colors

- Sensation adds noise to several colors, and it can be VERY destructive on some photos...

Guess the SII is very good choice, crazy power, good photos, I'd prefer to give Sense UI a try but Sensation lacks of ram ;)

I have installed FreeXperia Recovery through the flashtool. I'd like to start using the custom kernals but these seem to require Z's XRecovery .3. How can I go from one to the other without starting from scratch?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
I think you have this mixed up. You can use Freexperia recovery to flash custom roms & custom kernels. It's Xrecovery 1.0 that has issues flashing some zip files but only because most cooks still use the edify scripts that's not compatible with 1.0.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdintx:
I thought zkernals need to be flashed with xrec .3.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtblittlebrown:
I thought free. Xperia and xrecovery. 3 are the same
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
You can flash zkernel or goros kernel with either freexperia recovery or v0.3

There's 3 different kinds of xrec:

- v0.3

- FreeXperia recovery

- Zs new Recovery 1.0.0 which does not use edify scripts but rather amend scripts that's why most of the zip files won't flash using it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtblittlebrown:
Xrecovery.3 free.xperia recovery

Difrence one has a background one doesnt
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Hehehehehe that and the locations are different. v0.3 is at /system/bin while FreeXperia Recovery is at /system/recovery. Other than that freexperia recovery works exactly the same as v0.3.

And I made a mistake on my previous post. V0.3 & Freexperia uses Amend scripts while Zs v1.0.0 uses Edify scripts not the other way around as I previously posted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtblittlebrown:
Ohh wellll ok
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
1.0 isn't recommended as it has removed support for amend scripting which most packages uses. While 0.3 supports both scripting method, so its better but not better than 1.0 since it doesn't support dual booting if I'm not mistaken. But XDA VS 0.3 = No differences apart if what Lockon Stratos has mentioned.

[HTC Incredible S] Shinugen:
Hello,

First off, yes I have searched for my problem and I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm getting pretty confused with everything that's going on anyway so I would like to get some answers straight to my problem.

As you can read, I am trying to get S-OFF with a

HTC Incredible S

Android: 2.3.3 (GB)

ROM: 2.30.405.1 CL88716 release-keys (<- Latest OTA Stock ROM)

HBOOT: 1.13 (.0000)

I'd also like to mention that the XTC Method is NOT an option for me.

I have read through some posts about AlphaRevX not getting root (Which is what is happening to me) But they only offer a solution for 2.12, not 2.30. I have tried following this solution anyway, but it says 'Main version is higher' or something like that.

Due to this I do have a goldcard, if this is of any help.

Is there any way for me to downgrade so I can use AlphaRevX, or any other solution to get my S-OFF, so that in the end I can install Clockwork Recovery and root my Incredible S, or do I have to wait for a new exploit?

Thanks,

Shinugen
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
No known solution at the moment that I've heard about. I think it's a new exploit needed unless someone finds a workaround. Hopefully the AlphaRev guys will find us something for this ROM version soon.
[HTC Incredible S] Shinugen:
Okay, thanks for the information.
[HTC Incredible S] Shinugen:
You can also just wait.

Sorry for the double post here, but I thought I'd post my findings for anyone else interested in this matter.

After reading some news from HTC itself (Boredom, yay?) I came across them stating that they've "Listened", and will be bringing out OTA (Over The Air) Firmware upgrades which enable you to unlock the bootloader (Thus effectively setting your phone to S-OFF.)

This will be happening around August / September.

I suppose it's a race against the clock whether XDA is quicker, or HTC.

I'll have my money on XDA. xD
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That particular announcement did not include the Incredible S, so it will probably be later than August/September.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
It's happening in August/September for the Sensation and eventually the EVO 3D. No announcements on whether this will happen for any other device including the Incredible S. So don't hold your breath on HTC doing it themselves.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
HTC fail! :( I hope they will unlock our bootloaders. But yeah, my money is on XDA.
[HTC Incredible S] Shinugen:
As I recall it said the bootloader will be accessable for "all devices getting such updates". You could argue about the meaning of that, though I hope they meant OTA Updates with "such updates", which would mean the HTC Incredible S is included.

Plus, if they do it for the Sensation and EVO 3D, stating "They've listened", why wouldn't they do it for the rest of us?

I suppose you're right though, lets not get our hopes up. That said, it would be nice.
[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSlover:
S off worked for me with the incredible

This youtube video is awesome at instructing step by step on how to do it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshvRmAcgm8

Are you saying it didnt work because U have 2.3?
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
It doesn't work with the 2.30.405.1 stock ROM, this is a well-known issue already.
[HTC Incredible S] mrkekson:
just a queston,

rooting is not possible yet and we cant downgrade not even with goldcard, so there is absolutly no wey to get cyano? is thet right?
[HTC Incredible S] Shinugen:
Short answer: Correct.

Long answer:

Rooting is not possible because the newest update has patched the exploit that was used in order to gain root access. Downgrading with a goldcard is not possible due to the Main Version check.

What you'll have to do is wait for people to discover a new exploit for this version, so that we can gain root access (Temporarily) on 2.30.405.1. If that's achieved, we can run the AlphaRevX process (Loosen te NAND lock, get S-OFF).

Once that is done you can go ahead and flash the /system (Custom ROMs) and /recovery (Cyanogen, Clockwork, etc.)

The above might not be 100% accurate but this is how I understand things.

If anyone spots a mistake, please do correct me.

Yeah, forgot to mention XTC Clips.

Read next post.

Thanks, tpbklake!

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you find someone with an XTC Clip, then that hardware device can give you full S-OFF on your IncS and then you can root and install CM7.

I ran AlphaRevX on my Desire S which was successful; I am now S-OFF. Unfortunately, when I plugged my phone in to do some development this evening, adb gave the following:

As you can see, the serial number has gone, and trying to enter a shell causes an error.

Hi

I accidentally left my i9000 home and went on holidays. It was 1 week "home alone". When I got back i charged it and started using it again.

Then after a day the battery ran out again. I needed to check a contact real quick so I managed to switch it on and boot it right until i got the contact, then battery was drained.

When I got home to charge it.. DEAD phone, not even the Jig could save it.

I sent it to warranty and they refused to cover the malfunction because they detected humidity (they sent the screenshot below)

please check h__p://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1284/i9000.jpg

When i got it again i opened it and saw that i can only get the white stuff out by scraping it and that the black spot is actually (or seems like) a chunk of burnt chip

This is what i saw h__p://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4475/i90002.jpg

I never dropped it in water, or did something wrong to it. The only humidity it may have gotten was by having it in the bathroom while i showered.. But so do my other phones!

You should ask them to prove it to you that the white stuff is humidity. From what I know, they have to prove you're guilty, not the other way around (where you should prove you're innocent).
