[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
That's a common issue in the HD2, probably your device is defective.

Don't bother with the warranty, replacement and all that stuff since the back and menu aren't required for flashing or entering bootloader mode.

Just download "zMooth" app from market. (Pro version will give you End & Search)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tablighs:
I would prefer fixing the physical keys as they are important functions that is required in order to navigate around. Any links to how to fix the buttons? I think they are just misaligned because of prolong usage. Because multiple tries proves that it can still work.

Update: I have seen the official tutorial video for disassmbling the HD2, to just replace the keypad flex ribbon requires one to go very deep inside the phone before you can actually access the flex ribbon for the keypad. Now i am thinking twice to repair the physical button, let alone give an unofficial service guy to replace it.

@Marvlesz

I have installed zMooth, nice app.. but take some time getting used to. thanks!

[Q]SandroB with GingerDX

Hi Guys,

I realy like GingerDX roms, but since version 012 i have problem with one applicatin. I'm using SandroB for SSL sites that are using internet certificates and since ver. 012 it could not work. Every time the application strats it shows force close and thats it. Does anybody know what have been changed in the latest versions that can cause this malfunction. I've tried with full wipe after every upgrade with same negative results. Do you have any idea what can be the reason for that and is there same way to use that app in latest releases.

Thank you in advance and Best regards!

Today my phone decided to enter an infinite boot loop. It was just in pocket doing nothing when I felt it vibrate every few seconds.

I've tried 2.2 RUU, leaked GB RUU, CWM 3.0.0.8, RA, stock recovery. Nothing works. They all appear to flash successfully (by placing PB31IMG.zip on root of sdcard), but can't boot. just get the white HTC screen, goes black for a second, starts over.

I can get to hboot, OK, but nothing else.

I was hoping the RUU would have turned S-OFF to S-ON so I could go to the store, but no such luck.

Any way to revert to S-ON with only HBOOT/FASTBOOT available?

[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
Very nice review! Makes me glad I chose the Acer over the Asus too, although my main reason was that the Acer was available locally with no wait.

Just a quick correction though, even though Acer doesn't say so, according to www.corningorillaglass.com the A500 does sport the Gorilla Glass. I'm not sure why Acer wouldn't mention it, since it is a decent buying point, but there you go.

Exactly my reasoning as well! I was thinking that I may look at tablets around Christmas, since I am sure there will be some crazy deals, but I happened to see the $100 Staples coupon and decided to jump on it. It was originally intended for the kids but they have a hard time pulling it away from me. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Is it just my unit, or have others noticed a MAJOR difference in recorded video quality when running a custom 3.2 ROM as opposed to 3.1? I recorded some video in the kitchen of my house, played it back, and it looked extremely realistic. My wife who doesn't even like tech. was pretty happy about it, that's saying something. It was super crisp and clear, definitely the best video device I have now! But I also don't have any dedicated video camera...

[Acer Iconia A500] reverendbill:
I liked the more solid feel, and the full size USB port on the tab itself. I couldn't tell much difference between the screens either.
[Acer Iconia A500] farr3ll:
As a transformer owner I can vouch on three things:

1. IMO the screen quality is miles ahead of the A500;

2. The weight difference is neglible but the A500 feels bulkier and slightly more awkward to hold;

3. The A500's sound quality is killer. The TF101's speakers make a train station passenger information system sound like a bose home theatre.. Yes, it's ****e !!!

Don't berate me, these are just my opinions...
[Acer Iconia A500] reverendbill:
The two are so close. The TF is noticeably lighter. Screen is a bit better on the TF. The keyboard dock is rad, but kind of pricey. Not a bad decision either way. It was a REALLY tough choice to pick between the two.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Yes, it is a VERY difficult choice, for me, I love the sound and cameras and don't mind the weight nor need the keyboard dock. If you think like me, go Acer, if you really need the dock and the weight, perhaps a bit better screen (if you can notice), go the Asus!
[Acer Iconia A500] Arashi1118:
I use my A500 mostly in portrait mode since I do a lot of reading so that makes the keyboard useless. The extended battery is a welcome addition but if I need the tablet docked while I'm reading, that seems kinda awkward. Also the color sucks. No offense to Asus owners but seriously the color sucks. The finish on the A500 is really nice and feels sturdy.
[Acer Iconia A500] paulmarley:
Dolby Mobile is awesome

I just felt like chiming in regarding the A500. I think the audio is better than any other tablet. The iPad does not have stereo. Even the TouchPad, with it's "beats" music system does not sound as good as the Dolby Mobile on the A500. Rock on!
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
I tried video conference the other day, and the audio on my A500 was horrible, can't hear anything. I have the Acer folio on it, so it should not be a problem?

I compared at a Office depot store, the screen seems brighter on the Asus, nicer, I feel. But given the fact that buying the Asus means I'll have to end up with buying a dock for $140 more, just not worth it.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
You couldn't hear the audio? Do you know if the other side had their mic's turned up? The audio is very loud on my A500, too loud, I get complaints when I crank it up from the wife..
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Has anyone tried the new video recording in 3.2 yet? It's epic on mine! Please, chime in with your experiences..
[Acer Iconia A500] BiggTony:
Nice comparative write up!

While I agree with just about everything you've written, I have to say that the difference in display is very noticeable....as noticeable as viewing an image on the A500 and TV via HDMI out at the same time. Colors are much more vibrant on a Transformer's display, but panel brightness is visually the same in my opinion.

When I was first in the market, I purchased both the Transformer and Iconia A500 to try with in the limitations of the return policy. I basically came to the same conclusion as yourself.

The first Acer I purchased had a questionable build. The upper left corner of the tab would creak under slight pressure. Very annoying, but after researching a bit...some people was stating the same experience and some were not. The Transformer seemed to be more solid in comparison.....well as solid as plastic could be, but at the time, the most important part was that it didn't creak nor had hairline cracks at the seams like the A500 I first tried.

Also the right speaker sounded like it was in a tin can while a pebble rattled around. I opened it up to see if the speaker was torn or what have you, only to discover a set screw was backed out enough to allow the speaker to vibrate against the mounts/casing.

But after going back to the store and checking to see if the display model shared the same annoyance, I realized I had received one that got past quality control. So I'm happy to say the current A500 is solid.

Anyway, in my opinion...if it weren't for the built in USB port, I probably would still be trying to decide between the two. :)

I couldn't find micro HDMI cables in Australia in any shop. Unless you count a micro to full HDMI adapter some idiot store wanted $99 for! I bought a 4m cable from eBay for about $20. Just starting to see cables in stores now, but still very expensive rip-offs.

As for keyboard ports, don't. Need them on the Acer as I use the Acer Bluetooth keyboard. Keyboard connectors are so old tech!

And when I bricked my machine playing with ROMs from in here, Acer was very understandering and fixed my machine for me. So i'll stick to the stock ROM. but I did appreciate acer rescuing my machine.

I think i had the same issue a few months ago, what i did was log into my Google Voice from my home PC and go into Phones settings and make sure forward calls to Mobile (Sprint) is unchecked and save settings and that should take care of it. What happens is when you finish flashing a new ROM and your phone boots up for the first time and it gets to the Google login,skip the migration to Sprint to your Google Voice because it causes this problem.Hope this helps!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Lior Messer:
Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:

I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).

So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!

I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).

I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.

I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...

Any clues???

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stranxk:
its a common problem i think...

when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...

what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
