I was able to locate a wifi tether app (beta, but works great) that does infrastructure mode.

I'm still curious about how to root without wiping my xoom though.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
It's the unlocking that will wipe your data. After that, flashing a rom will require a wipe, but a new kernel may not.

Why not back up what you can on your pc? Make sure that sync is enabled with your Google account, and your apps from the marketplace will be restored.
[TouchPad General] Bouncer5:
So I have had mine sitting here all packaged up since tuesday.

And im looking to now actually open it and play with it,

Do you recommend I charge to full when off, or on? Perhaps run it dry and then charge it up?

You used to be told, Charge it for 8 hours before you use it...

That surely can't be true of todays rechargeable battery technology?
[TouchPad General] alexhayuk:
[Q] charging and battery damage

If I leave my touchpad on the touchstone charger for long periods and the touchpad is switched on will this damage the battery?

I know I have had laptops and always ran them of the mains and the battery has stopped holding a charge.

Cheers.
[TouchPad General] Troute:
I assume that the touchpad has a charging circuit that stops it charging when the battery is full, but batteries will always fail after a while regardless. Lithium batteries are best charged often and not let run down too much in between.
[TouchPad General] Troute:
Also, dson't let a lithium battery run down completely, you can significantly shorten its life doing that.
[TouchPad General] Alcoholic:
source? I thought lithium battery had no memory.
[TouchPad General] Troute:
It's not a memory issue, running a lithium battery flat (deep discharging) has a physical effect on it where it will lose it's ability to recharge to as high a level as the previous charge. Each time this happens the battery loses more of it's ability to reach an effective voltage.

Don't take my word for it, do your own research, there's plenty of information out there it internet land.
[TouchPad General] jomaxwel:
The dev for Dr.battery's has a thread that states that leaving your Touchpad on the touchstone for long periods of time should not impact the battery. Due to it switching to powering the unit after its charged. Though he is doing some testing on that. Also his app should be updated soon for the Touchpad (available through preware). I am still going to contact HP to discuss this as well. I would hate to damage a non replaceable battery. Will update if I have any new info.
[TouchPad General] Alcoholic:
I have done my own research. That's why i don't think this is accurate.

If you have some proof please share.
[TouchPad General] ambivalent-one:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Basically through normal use you can probably expect around 250-300 full charge cycles (partial charges only count as partial and add up with other partial charges to be a full cycle) in an average battery pack before it has degraded to 80% of it's original capacity. I don't see anything that point to full discharges being damaging. However storing it for longer periods of time fully discharged can affect life.
[TouchPad General] Troute:
ambivalent-one I think the figure of 250-300 charge cycles you've pulled from that page refer to deep discharge cycle tests done by them, personally I'd be very unhappy with that kind of lifespan in a battery in regular usage. The same page you've posted http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries shows a chart of charge cycles versus depth of discharge.

As you can see a L-ion battery can be made to last nearly ten times longer by keeping the charge level up near max.

Quote from http://www.batterieswholesale.com/damaging_batteries.htm

karan1203 if you reckon the information about deep discharge not accurate, can you provide the results of your own research that shows this?
[TouchPad General] TeeRom:
Just let it die the first time, then charge when under 5%.
[TouchPad General] knightnz:
Your research must've been incredibly basic in that case. The 2nd result I get when Googling "lithium batteries" gives me the wikipedia page which has a small amount of into on it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

Look at the "Safety requirements" section for a start.

Also Google "lithium batteries discharge" returns some useful links.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Bought a 16gb Kingston class 4 sd card for my 3D, problem is after I moved all items over to the new card. I moved over some rom files to flash and when looking at the contents of the card they are not there. Neither are the back up files of my TWRP backups. Titanium backup files aren't there either.

When I run Titanium again thenfiles are there, but after a reboot they are gone again????

Any ideas?

I just bought a class 4 SanDisk 16gb card last night and so far haven't had any problems. I took the card out the phone, put it in the laptop and copied everything to a new folder then copied it all to the new card. My nand backup was all there cus I just flashed it back and everything restored. But i haven't done much else.

Sent from my double barrel Shooter. BANG!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Think I fixed it. Ended up wiping the card and wiping the phone also. I am a ROM Flashing fanatic so I needed more card capacity.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
So I thought my sd card woes were gone. But, downloaded a few ROM's to try out on my PC. Transferred the files over to the phone via USB cable. While still connected to the phone I created a new folder and placed the ROM's into it to keep them more organized.

I went this morning to flash a new ROM as the one I was trying had an issue I did not like and now the ROM folder is gone. the LOST.DIR is at approx 1.3GB which to me would mean that the folder was moved there for some reason.

Also, when I try to restore my backup, the restore begins, but the phone then just goes black. Then have to pull battery. I am on TWRP Recovery.

Any ideas? I am assuming it is the new 16GB card I got, but any scans I do on it report no issues. Never had an issue with an sd card before.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
unfortunately, i've only had two issues with sdcards and they have been far and few between, but devasting when they occur.

the most recognizable behavior of a poor or failing sdcard that i've experienced are missing or inconsistent (names changed, locations moved, etc) files. personally, i would return the sdcard as it definitely appears to be defective and ask for either an exchange or money back.

sorry that isnt a very good solution, but for a brand new sdcard out of the box to keep losing files, moving them, etc. that definitely would be a red flag in my opinion. hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Pyro1284:
Sounds like a bad SD card to me, had the same issues. I guess thats what happends when you buy sd cards off craigslist. I returned the failing SD card got my money back then headed straight to Frys got myself a PNY 32gb SD card and problem solved :D

[HTC EVO 3D] orangewarrior:
Hello, quick question.. search function appears to be disabled atm, so apologies if this is a duplicate.

I use my 3vo to stream mp3s from the SD card (USB connection mounted as Disk Drive) when driving - when doing so, the 3vo is unable to see the SD's files, meaning that Ringtones, Navigation voices, and anything else that the handset wants/needs to access are unavailable.

I've got Astro file explorer and tried copy/pasting files into the phone's internal folders (Notifications / Ringtones etc) but it would not let me do so.

Can someone please kindly show me a way to force the phone to allow these files onto the internal memory, and regarding Google Navigation, how can i tell it to look for voice synthesis files internally, were i to successfully locate & relocate that information?

many thanks in advance.

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
stream? as in how? i play music through my phone in my car and everything works fine. when music is playing and someone calls, it rings through my speakers, same with notifications.
[HTC EVO 3D] orangewarrior:
well, when you mount the SD card as a hard drive, it restricts simultaneous access from the phone handset.. The car stereo is reading that hard drive, so the phone cannot get access to notification sounds, ringtones & Google Navi voices that are all stored on that SD.

So, all im asking is how to move files onto the internal storage - Astro doesnt appear to let me do this.

thanks

Hello,

I have problems with receiving sms on my Nexus S.

before I got up a little icon at the top of the screen when I got a new sms, then I could go to read it when I had time or wanted.

Now it will sms up in a small black box at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds and then disappear again. when it is actually gone for always.

what is wrong? have tried to find out if there is something wrong with my settings, but can not find anything there. so there have been some days now.

hope someone can help me.

Add to that all the sms I send are stored.

Also adds that the MMS will appear as it did before. so my problem is only with SMS

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
seriously, the new market sucks. I have spent the last week and a half getting update notifications for the same apps that already have the update in question installed, And I update it just keeps sending me the same updatei just installed. any way to fix this? also I hate how least the new is compared to the old one. google readily needs to test their products better before release.

on top of that, and I hate to rant here, but with the lawsuits going on right now, you would think google would know better than to steal the windows phone7 interface. I mean, its shop obvious its like they aren't trying.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
The old format was cleaner and easier to navigate on a phone. I think the new market seems to be designed for tablet users... In its current state, it's almost embarrassing.

Personally, I think the market should be customized for different devices to offer the best shopping experience. It would be more effort, but Google certainly has the funds and manpower to handle it.

He inability to disable update notifacations is another minus. Apps like My Account and My Device feature "updated" versions that lock a pop up ad on your screen. In landscape mode, it makes up most of the viewing area. No sane individual would want that "update". The market shouldn't conspire with developers to ram updates down the customers' throats.

There is no theme chooser for the shooter rom as far as i know. But it is as simple as saving your flashable custom theme zip on your sd card.

If you flash your custom theme and want stock back

1. Go into Recovery

2. Wipe just Dalvik Cache

3. Flash original Shooter zip

2 weeks later your like "Hey I want my theme back!".

Do this

1. Go into Recovery

2. Wipe just Dalvik Cache

3. Flash Your Theme

4. Enjoy!! :)

Besides being a noob, I just switched from a un-rooted EVO 4G to the Epic which I just rooted today. Now I'm completely lost as to what to do next and/or what my options truly are.

I have spent the last few days researching forums, youtube videos and websites about: how to root, why to root, and the tools to root.

I downloaded both the oneclick method and the Odin methods before using oneclick.

I hope to get the most stable, fast running, and flexible ROM with Wifi Tethering, CPU and Battery Optimization, and App organization built in. Cool themes and boot up is cool but not my priority. Also any way to use Video out. Please help a noob.....:)

Hello, I have a desire S rooted-

EVERY time I flash a new ROM mobile network auto connects to O2 and charges me instantly. By the end of the setting up it will have charged me the max amount for the day which is £1. This is beginning to be very costly-

(I don't want it permanent but can I just disable it?)

You could always make sure that you are in range of a wireless network. That way the network takes up the download/sync and not your provider.
