[HTC Sensation] nick_martin:
If I don't take the battery out first, hit vol down and power button, nothing happens. When I release them, it will boot normally.

Is there an easy way to get into recovery mode?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Disable fastboot under settings -> power
[HTC Sensation] nick_martin:
That was checked. "Turn off to use some market apps".
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Unchecked it. Then when you power off, it actually powers off and you can enter recovery.
[HTC Sensation] nick_martin:
Great! Thanks. Just curious, "turn off to use some mkt apps". What apps can be used when the phone is off?
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
im not really sure because i had a stock recovery since the 2.3.4 update but cant you just do it in rom manager?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Both USB 3.0 both 2.5" both 3 year warranty

I want extra storage but don't know which one to get ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
Go with the 500GB drive. The ports on the Transformer are USB 2.0, so you won't see any speed benefit from having a SSD connected.

However, if you want something that you don't have to plug into a USB port, the SD card slot will support SDXC cards. You can add an additional 64GB or 128GB SDXC card for around the same price as a comparable SSD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
So there would be no benefit to the SSD?

Plus 500GB does sounds nice

Its a go flex they any good ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaNsA:
There are.

The whole "no moving parts" thing is a really good benefit.

I take my tf+dock to work everyday, i dont turn it off. I would be forced to turn it of if it had a standard drive in there.

And are you going to have 500gb of data?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Close to it I have allot of music movies and then there's the data for my university papers etc

I may not fill up 500 but I know I will probably fill up 320 so its wether I condense things down and get the SSD benefits or deal with the battery drain inherent with the HDD and the possible failure of the HDD later on

Also the HDD i'm looking at is a sea gate go flex 2.5" portable would this be the best brand or can someone recommend anything better HDD wise?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackfanatic:
An SSD's performance lies in being able to read multiple files at the sames time at high speeds.

Personally i feel SSD's real speed is only put to use as an internal disk on your laptop/desktop to boot/operate faster.

For an external multimedia storage drive I recommend going with a 500gb 7200 rpm drive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackfanatic:
Obviously you can disconnect it after you are done using it. Power consumption difference will be around 0.5-2W average for SSD and 0.7-2.5W for an external drive.

But to save battery and money go with the 500gb drive, briefly connect it and transfer data you wish to access onto your internal memory and use it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
You will actually get the best battery life possible by storing your files to a SDXC card (0.06W to 0.3W), but of course like the SSD you're limited by meager storage space compared to a regular hard drive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
All good points I think I will go for the 500 just hope it doesn't screw up also do any of the portable hard drives have spin down or are they constantly spun up ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibras_reeza:
I might be late but if you haven't bought yet, I'd vote for a both.

Buy a smaller SSD/SDXC/SDHC with a reasonable amount of space for files you will carry around all the times.

Get a HDD for storing really large files like movies which you'd need once in a while.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
When not powered up, HDDs can take a lot of shock with no damage . Get the 500gb.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evotuning:
i would also go with the 500gb:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Ha ha Nibras good to see you however I probably can't afford both

I think the 500GB is the right choice now for a on off switch between the port and cable
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjens:
If you can afford a 64gb SSD disk and external chassis, you can probably afford an external 2.5" 500gb disk and a 32gb SD-card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcIdC0R3:
You should get the SSD and not the HDD. Lower power consumption, no moving parts, all around solid performing. I have a OCZ Vertex 3 120gb SSD and you couldn't pay me to use a HDD for my external enclosure. Swapping between my desktop, laptop and TF is easy squeezy. No heat generated because of no moving parts. SSD is definitely your best bet. If your still in doubt, there are a ton of reviews on the Vertex 3 all over the internet and that it outperforms better than any other drive on the market today.

Cheers...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
I love the idea of ssd but hate the price for a decent size and I will fill up most of the five hundred gigabit maybe in future a small ssd inside the dock but too start with price wise and what people are saying hdd is the winner
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibras_reeza:
I wasn't suggesting 64GB SSD and 500GB HDD. Like the below quote suggests, I was suggesting a somewhat smaller HDD and SDD. A 500GB or so HDD and a 32GB or so SSD.

That's true. I hate how expensive they are.

If Internet is cheap where you live, you can move the large files to cloud as well. Or, store then in a network drive at home.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DilloDroid:
I think you answered your own question if you have enough files to fill up a 500GB drive that you can actually put to practical use most of the time. You'd just be disapointed having something smaller no matter how fast or trendy if you had to spend lot of time moving stuff around all the time.

I'm with an earlier poster that thinks a SSD is better used as a boot drive for a device to get everything up and running fast and to put your page file on for quicker memory management access also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:
Thankyou to everyone who helped me with this im now the proud owner of a transformer and a seagate 500gb 2.5" hdd and hdmi cable and 16gb class 10 sd card all for under 1000nzd yay
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcaf77:
I have used 2 different cdma carriers, last one was sprint their in building was ok, i guess good enough to always have a signal... with tmobile the inbuilding has been a nightmare I just cant understand... i have full bars outside but no service inside of certain buildings.... is this due to the technology or is it just tmo?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
It must be a perfect storm of bad circumstances where you are at that's all I could think of.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
Well, if your CDMA carrier uses freqs lower than 1700 MHz, then they will have better building penetration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
the lower the frequency the better it can penetrate a building... since Tmobile 3/4g uses a high frequency, tough luck... AM/FM radio waves are the same way, granted you would never notice it but AM "travels much farther" because of the same theory, less resistance in the air...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
That's actually pretty cool! You learn something new everyday, eh?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
It's not about air resitance but the relative wavelength to the speficied frequency. It's inversely proportional to each other.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
I think we should all switch to porta HF radios and trail hundreds of feet of longwire antenna...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I already do... at work, anyway. I use HF, VHF, UHF and SHF equipment. So pretty much any wireless point to point or point to multipoint communications.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
If your having troubles with signal you might need one of these; after all, with an antenna like that you could probably get a signal on the Internal Space Station right? ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
Make fun of amps, but it did have the best coverage
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
"Air resistance" was a very loose and prolly bad term... you are correct though the longer wave lengths that higher frequencies require make it much harder to "penetrate" objects such as walls... a typical router or wireless home phone uses some band of the 2.4ghz frequency which is why you cannot stray much farther than maybe 100-200 feet from your house before it loses signal... same applies to bluetooth... keep in mind you do have to consider the strength of the actual signal that is being put out as well so its not like you can compare a cell tower covering a vast area at 2000mhz vs a small hand held device that outputs a 2000mhz...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Most mobile companies invest on higher frequency towers in cities and metropolitan areas while lower frequency in rural areas.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcaf77:
i switched my wife's phone to 2g only to use a different frequency and she still cant get a signal... :( but she was able to with sprint. :( i am still within my 14 days so I might have to return them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
T-Mobile probably has the worst coverage footprint in the U.S.A. Verizon has the best ("Can you hear me now?") Wherever the closest TMO tower is it cannot penetrate through whatever structure she works in. She could always use the Wifi calling feature and connect through her employer's wifi (if they have and will allow her to do that). Otherwise returning them is probably the best option for you; but you'll be missing out on a great device. Verizon and AT&T run primarily on 850, which has the best signal penetration due to electromagnetic wave propagation. TMO operates on 1700/2100 (3G) and 1900 (2G) so their signal will not penetrate structures as well as Verizon and AT&T. Sprint is operating on 1900, which is also subject to penetration issues due to the smaller wavelength of their signal, so if she gets that then they must have a tower closer or installed micro cells in the building she works in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcaf77:
Nice, thanks for the reply, yeah it sucks to leave such an awesome device and such a great deal on 4 lines... but if I cant get a signal inside it will be pointless to pay for cell service... I will try to setup a router , i hope it works
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
As the G2x is my first T-Mobile phone I am not sure if it has better worse or equal reception phone vs other phone....I have read various reports on both sides, and it seems to be a toss up on what is the real story.

The Wifi calling I use quite a lot in house. Its a nice free feature.

I have found that energy efficient double glazed windows with their hi-tech coatings block the signal significantly. These are nice solar windows, if you are outside they will reflect heat at you yards away.

If I open the window I can get full 4G connection, close the window and I am lucky to get a single bar of voice only.

What others are saying about the frequency makes tons of sense now for how I see signal strength changes.

If you can not call out on a phone, its just a micro tablet, and you still need a phone. Switch carriers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It has better 3G reception on 2100Mhz than other devices I have tried. Where I live is right on the edge of my carrier's 3G signal and it is going through a complex of condo buildings to get to me. The G2X gets a stronger signal than other phones I have tried here.
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
Hello,

I installed the new 3.3.4 rom and I wanted to install the v6 SuperCharger and after following all the steps and rebooting I go into the script and it says that its weak, and that values dont match supercharge.

The only thing that i did not see on the instructions nor remember how to do is activate a script and set it to run at boot.

Anyone running the script on the new rom, please help me a little bit.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
is the script that runs on boot running on boot?
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
It does not seem like it is.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
First make sure you have buisybox 1.18 or lower installed. Second load up script manager and and at the top hit "..." twice. Then hit menu and options and choose browse as root. Then select the data folder then choose 99supercharger. Check run as root and run at boot. For dx2 at least running eclipse 0.2.2 option 9 in supercharger runs it the best. Option 9 should be megaram with 512mb. There are two it should be the second one. Im running update 8 so im not sure which option it is anymore.

Also you mean you are running the ATRIX 2.3.4 right? If so has the audio problem been solved with that? That's the main thing I want to know with that rom since it has android 2.3.4 on it.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
well im not sure what you are running but make sure that either /system/etc/init.d is being run on boot
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
I followed the directions, but when I go into data there is no file 99etc... to run at boot.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Did you first run supercharger. Run it but don't reboot the x2. And make sure you are browsing as root. You choose that in the options of script manager. Also are you running buisy box with 1.18?
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
running busybox 1.18.1

Tried it like four times, and no go.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
do you have root?
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Are you using script manager? Cause that just odd. Just to be sure you're going to "/data" as browsing as root in script manager and scrolling down to the end of that file and not choosing the other data folder to make it "/data/data" cause it should be there as long as you first ran v6 supercharger and chosen which ever option that 99supercharger script should have been made.

I say unsupercharge. Delete scriptmanager and reinstall it and then try again just to see id there was a glitch. If this doesn't help then your pretty much out of luck. But I thought navens. Mods where included in the rom so you shouldn't need it(could be wrong).
[Motorola Droid X2] Electroniko:
Its weird because I had been able to run supercharger on eclipse, I will keep diging around to see what I can find.
[Motorola Droid X2] Versatile1:
Just a question... Isn't supercharger unnecessary for 2.3.3 and above?

Sent from my Droid X² Eclipse Rom + BNB Theme
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
I have the same problem, and no its not the users. I don't think it is working correctly. Or at least not placing the files where they are normally found.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
if you run the 99supercharger script that is suppose to run at boot as root then rerun the "installer" script are the mem splits correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
its quite usefull just not so much for music on stock gb blur. it gives you a faster boot and screen transission but thats about it on blur.

on elcipse 0.2.2 if you use v6 supercharger (update8 option 9), 98kickasskernal safe and v6noop nearly got rid of all the music skips and pops. about three songs per 85 on my playlist skips or pops if im not doing anything other then listen to music and it will only skip once if its the first time i opened the internet and then runs fine. but the 3 songs are complete random. and sometimes it goes to 5 songs.

without them running this phone skips, pops on nearly every single song on my 85 song playlist (i have 2 gb of music on my phone this is just my most used playlist).

so it makes a difference just not much on blur as it does on eclipse.

Hi guys,

I have a question. I was just browsing around and trying to understand distance measurement sensors. I found what I think is a general overview over the different sensor types (http://zuff.info/RangeFindersComp_E.html). However, I was wondering if anybody has a little more knowledge in this area. I was wondering if there is a sensor type that can measure the distance of the sensor to a base station (or better yet three base stations). My objective is find the sensor's position eventually in a three-space, probably within 40ft radius (open space). Sonar works with sound waves, and the environment is rather noisy therefore I think it will influence the measurements a lot. The problem I see with IR/Laser measurement is that the sensor will constantly be moving and might have a small object blocking the direct line between base stations and the sensor.

So I was wondering - if you take SIM cards and triangulate their location using the cell towers, you will get a location using a network connection, correct? But these kind of positioning sensors are not listed. Would there be a way to use the same principle scaled down to the the smaller area of approx 5000ft^2? Maybe through some kind of Wifi? The important thing to me is to find that position in a three dimensional space.

Does anybody have any suggested where I should look further or read upon? It's like my little pet project that was spinning in my head for a little :) I appreciate any feedback!

All the best,

Phill

edit: If the sensors sent out a signal, and three different base stations measure the signal strength at any given time, would that be enough to pinpoint the sensors location?

So I was thinking I would love to repurpose my camera button as a Facebook Share Button like the HTC Status.

Also I think it would be a great Idea to implement the coding to choose Google+ for when it's popularity increases. it can easily be switched to.

So allow a default option to be selected and then changed later hopefully someone has the coding from the status so it can be easily done.

I might try it but I am not a good programmer.
