[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
Hey guys,

I recently thought about selling my nice 101 and heading to an other / newer device soon.

Originaly I thoguht about moving to a Gen9 but as we know they just have 512MB Ram I ask my self if I will struggle into thesame problems as now with my 101? I don't get why sarchos does such gr8 devices (in spec) but fail to spend that little extramoney for a real propper device.

Any opinons about the "low" memory?

Or any other device suggestions (in about same price value, like Lenove LeTabs,...)?

greetings
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
You cant improve the Ram, you just could use options like Swap and Compcache, so that you have extra ram, but that isnt so good as standart ram;):)

A good alternative is the ASUS Transformer;)

(Normally 450 EUR but when you search a bit you can find many special offers and such:);))
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
I have tried the Transformer, and while its performance was OK, it is way to heavy to carry.

As my A70 is good enough for everyday work now with Uruk 1.5 i will wait for the Samsung 7.7 to get a lower price or a omap 5 or Kal El device.

I noticed that when I use the notification bar at the top to adjust the brightness it doesn't actually go up all the way like it did before. It will only go up about half way in the actual brightness. Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Just tried it mines fine
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
do you have automatic brightness on?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
No I don't. I use it all the time. I was able to click brightness setting and still slide the top and watched as it went all the way down and would go a little past half way when I slid my finger to the right. This is from factory reset and all that good stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Try it again, I just noticed this last night with Serendipity 7 - Sliding all the way to the right on the slider sometimes takes the brightness only to 50%, sliding it down and back sometimes takes it to 100%.

Seems to be a generic Gingerbread glitch.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
Alright. I've been trying with it to no avail. I'll try again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mike619:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but you can adjust the brightness from the notifications bar?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Yes. If you hold your finger over the status bar but don't pull down to bring the notifications, you can slide your finger to the left to reduce brightness or to the right to increase it. It's definitely a bit finicky, but quite convenient for a quick brightness adjustment.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mike619:
Oh wow, never knew that. Was that implemented on the stock ROM too? That makes it sooo much easier. I actually ran into this thread searching for a good screen dimmer widget so i can make adjustments from my home screen. This is even better haha. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yes. Autobrightness has to be off.

[HTC Incredible S] dCode16:
Have you tried disabling fastboot ??

If not uncheck fastboot option in Settings - Power - Fastboot and give it a go.
[HTC Incredible S] andrewxu:
Your the man. I'll try that

Edit : that worked. I wonder what the fast boot actually does?

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] ste1164:
Fastboot makes it so your phone kinda goes into heavy sleep mode. It shuts down and boots up a lot quicker. As it doesn't need to fully load HTC sense and other apps.
[HTC Incredible S] andrewxu:
So it eats battery when you turn it off?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes it is like hibernate mode on a laptop. It uses some battery to preserve the hibernates state, but not as much as in normal sleep mode.

Hi,

I searched a lot and tried different things, but didn't manage to get a transparent statusbar.

Is there any theme for Touchwiz (not MIUI or CM) which has a confirmed working transparent statusbar?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
There is no transparent status bar afaik. Try UOT Kitchen and read Pendo battery mod thread, but none works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stony2k:
Tried UOT Kitchen, but it doesn't work either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLoNe1:
This really needs to be figured out - I'm sure I've seen some people changing their status bar on the SGS2.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
I know i am way behind on this but i came here by a Google search. The reason it force closes is SystemUI.apk needs signing again...as we don't know what key was used to sign it and the linked files then easiest way is to re-sign all .apk's in app and framework with the platform key. Then you can modify systemui and re-sign it with a matching key and all is good!

In fact K18 needs these files re-signing.

[Motorola Droid 3] acoers:
When i turn my phone on now it just stays at the red eye startup screen. I thought i heard somewhere of holding the power button down and x but when i do that a little android guy and a triangle with a exclamation point comes up. Any help would be very appreciated. I do have a rooted phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
1) Do you know what you did to cause this? You must have changed something to make this happen.

2) Can you get this to work?

If you answered yes to both, you can fix the phone. Otherwise, put on your shoes and head to the nearest VZW store.

[Nexus S General] Buellrunner:
I reset my nexus s full reset and os update yesterday . For some reason when I put my Google credentials back into my phone the market was the old market AND all of my downloaded applications were gone with no record of what has previously been on my nexus.

Isn't it supposed tto keep track of what I had downloaded before? Also how do I get the Brownridge version of the Android market back on my nexus?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
When you do a factory reset, your apps are not re-downloaded I think.

Also you will get the new market again after you open the old one a few times. You will see the license agreement again and when you agree the new market will be there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] neanderthal0:
I'm not sure if this will help anything or not but it's some place to start.

On HTC's Dev source code page they have a comment link so they can hear our opinion, perhaps if they get a few thousand comments that we want the source for our MT4GS they may give us what we want...lets find out. http://htcdev.com/contact here it is, now lets get to it and get our source code so we can get some kernels brewing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I added my input. They are normally really good at releasing source code but here lately they have been beating around the bush.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
i don't see why not. at this point it looks like the mt4gs community is begging for a source for development. i know i really want it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fearsome Yeti:
I think it's important to always "remind" them that the GNU GPL requires them to make the source available to those that they release the binary to...unfortunately the GPL isn't clear on when it must be released (although I think immediately is implied easily enough).

I sent them a comment that politely reminded them of this :) Thanks for the link.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I wasn't polite. :P phones been out for over a month. There just dragging there feet and are techincally in violation of the Open Source Agreement.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fearsome Yeti:
I also went here:

http://www.htc.com/us/about/contact-by-email

I entered this as the "Description":
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fearsome Yeti:
This is the response I got today:

I've seen them give this time-frame before so I'm not surprised but disappointed nonetheless.

As a side note, I've got a script running that checks their download page every half hour for our kernel source :).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Once its released I can ATTEMPT full kernel.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] neanderthal0:
I'm excited.....thanks for all you do.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
I wrote to them as well. Unfortunately, we're not even 60 days out from the release I don't think. When was this device officially released? So if they hold true to 90-120 days then we are looking at sometime before Thanksgiving.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
July 27. :( So by no later then Nov 27.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
wow, that is some dedication lol. well, thanks for at least giving us the time frame that they will release the code, it makes me sleep better at night =D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Reply back.... "WE ARE the open source community. This is NOT within our requirements. We require that the source code be released NO LATER than the binary distribution."
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Well, I just had a nice battle with them.

Went like this;

Me: You're in violation and this is why: blah blah blah.

Them: No we're not, it doesn't say how long.

Me: That's why you're in violation. It doesn't allow you to delay.

Them: It says we only have to give it in 3 years.

Me: No, it says that you can STOP giving it in 3 years.

They were unable to respond after this since I was clearly right. Instead, they said I should complain at htcdev.com/contact (which is a black hole complaints form...). I told them I did and nobody responds (obviously). They said something to the effect of "but, but, but, I don't know..."

I told them to forward the entire conversation to their legal department and hurry up with the release or prepare for legal action.

They said OK to that, my complaint would be reviewed. :eek:

Edit: They also tried to make up some crap about "preparing" the source for release....

Duh, did it compile? Obviously it did since the phone turns on, proving that the source is ready. Interference with that source code is in violation of the GPL.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
HTC is really pissing me off. Samsung released the code for ALL there new phones. HTC takes there dam time releasing the code cause they know no one will fight it. I'm really thinking of buying the galaxy s 2 IF HTC can't pull there head out there ass.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
Before you do that stop to remember the debacle about the Vibrant. Samsung declined to upgrade the Vibrant from 2.1 to 2.2 because they were releasing other phones and using the fact that those phones had 2.2 as a selling point.

I think it's time to start a letter writing campaign to Google telling them to put some teeth into the OSHA contract, including supporting the phone with upgrades for 2 years (the length of most carrier contracts) and releasing the source at the same time as the binary.

Most of the phone manufacturers and all of the carriers need to be thoroughly horse whipped IMO.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Yes Im aware of that issue but Samsung apparently learned there lesson. My wifes galaxy s 4G was just updated to gingerbread a week ago. So they are updating much more rapidly. The vibrant had alot of issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
How well I know it. Those issues, and the way that TMo handled them is why Retention gave me a BOGO with no upgrade fee on either line and credit for the $50 MIR with free overnight shipping.

My MT4GS's should be here tomorrow. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
That's awesome.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] N1LOY:
This is really pathetic. Crippling us like this with a beastly phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fearsome Yeti:
This is ridiculous!! Anyone know a linux kernel dev that could ask EFF to take action? Until someone challenges them, it's in their best interest to keep the source private. I think the wrongdoing bugs me more than not having the actual source to play with.
[Acer Iconia A500] muztaki:
hi there...

its a while i occupy myself with android etc...

i updated my a501 tab last night so i could use iconia root and recognized...that i lost the 3g functions..

the a501 model is now overwritten (a500)..and runs HC 3.1

i dont want to go on HC3.2 so i asked myself if there is a way to pursue a downgrade to HC 3.0.1..did someone make a backup for the 3.0.1 rom??

i dont want a custom rom (only then if there isnt another way.)

on the acer website..there aren't OFW neither..

is it possible...that a full reset would take my tab back to HC3.0.1 (model a501)

thx for the help..^^
[Acer Iconia A500] Vendetta2311:
Upss...you missed one step before flashing another ROM, create full backup from recovery..

You have different version number for each region..if i,m not mistaken, correct me if i'm wrong.

There's a thread in the development section share stock rom, but it only for A500 model..
[Acer Iconia A500] muztaki:
oh yes...i think you are right =S

but isn't there a method to overwrite the version number/ model number etc.?

its weird that on my quick guide booklet "ICONIA TAB A500/A501" is written on the top.

i never noticed that before..=S

i think i need the stock rom for A501...HC3.0.1 because i rooted my tab while i was on HC 3.0..and everything worked fine...any other custom roms would influence the performance...

downgrade possible?
[Acer Iconia A500] muztaki:
hello im about to downgrade my tab to 3.0.1 and try to rooting it again..

Im a bada dev and new to tablets..so i would like to know moore about rooted tabs etc..

Google isnt helpfull at all and there are a few questions i would like to ask..

One question is..

Are there installers which are similar to the app ''Cydia'' known from the IOS jailbreaking scene, where i can download additional applications or themes?

Having root access to the OS sounds great but..once your device is rooted..there is no installer like ''Cydia'', which allows me to hav full access to the android market, (as far as im concerned)..

Thanks in advance..

Hi all -I have been up all night , I will admit I am new at this , and I have been reading and researching on this forum for a bit now -but I need a hand if anybody is interested in helping....I am mid-trying to root my LG revolution , V6.....I have gotten into a few different steps/methods and I think they are correct for the most part - but I am a little hazy about a few things.... I installed android-sdk-windows , then opened up the .exe SDK manager, and installed some revisions? Then went into cmd and did a few steps theads- I did the shortcut posted on this thread - and then tried the longer version and now I am stuck in the middle of both! LOL
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
You cannot root your v6 phone at this time. You will have to down grade the phone to v4 then root it. Every attempt to root the v6 with the v4 methods results in "permissions denied"

v6 fixed the exploit used to allow root.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] v28:
Ok so I decided to wait for the official uk update to gingerbread through kies to see what it was like. However so far I think the phone was faster on 2.2.1, after the update it just feels really laggy. So what should I do to get the phone running smooth and quicker??

I have tried a couple of task killers but most seem to work for a second then the apps start running again. Should I consider flashing to a custom rom instead, or can I go back to 2.2.1 without flashing??

Either way so far I have found no real improvement in the official 2.3.3 update, if anything its worse.

Any advice would be great, thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ns77:
Froyo better than gingerbread

got to agree with v28,since official update the lock screen takes ages to get to the unlock slide screen,cant send texts with 3g enabled,all screens seem slower than before & battery life seems worse.Has anybody seen an improvement since the upgrade,also does anybody know how to go back to froyo.or is the unofficial kpn/kph better....OR can the guys at cyanogen hurry up :-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kehur:
In my opinion, Samsung Official 2.3.4 Gingerbread update is much better than its earlier (OLD) releases.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
The unofficial kpn/kph is better ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
a little advice, any task killer is unnesessary on android. if stability/speed/improvement is what u want, task killer wouldnt do any good. infact it make things worse. dont treat linux like windows :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] v28:
Ok so as 2.3.4 is not an official update in the uk yet thats not an option. So if I do flash then what rom is best? Has the least bugs and isn't going to leave me with no wi-fi or camera?

Also what should you use to stop all these background memory munching things if not a task killer??

thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
theres no such thing as "the best rom". its based on ur preference really.

as i said before, dont treat linux like windows :)

android has its own way of managing task/resource. using task killer would interfere with that behavior resulting in much problem. if u that worried about those background running process, use titanium backup to freeze them :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] v28:
Ok thanks i'll give it a try. Sorry for all the questions just new to all this and the phone's performance seems to have got worse with uk official update.

thanks again
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] v28:
Also does the phone have to be rooted to use titanium, if so how do I root 2.3.3? And if I'm rooting should I just flash it at the same time? Any recommended roms?

So far I would say stick with 2.2.1 untill they improve the current 2.3.3. My phone is saying PDA:KPN PHONE:KP6 CSC:KP1 (CPW) Baseband S5830XWKP6. I had a problem getting the update also, found I had to reinstall kies of samsung website under software for galaxy ace. I also had to change norton antivirus to full permission for samsung update.

Hope this helps, but all I have seen is change in battery icon at the top and the phone running much slower.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
much slower is u just use stock, try custom rom. maybe u will be surprise ;)
