[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nhathoa:
The radio line in your file need "radio.nb partition" for megre processing, this means this gold.txt has to compatible with all partitions.

Ex: if you want to build Ruu_unsigned.nbh with Os.nb + Radio.nb, in gold.txt has to available 2 lines:

400,os.nb

300,radio.nb
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] -WP7User-:
Yeah, sure. I know that :) I just wanted to say that the radio.nb gets cooked in, too. Looks just like you posted it...

I've really got no clue what to try next...
[Nook Color General] Landara:
I want to set up my PC as a TV and DVR, what's the best way to do this? I have a cable outlet right beside the PC, I know I could get a TV Tuner card but I know nothing about them at all and there are so many it's confusing. Hauppage(sp?) seems to be the most popular but are they any good? Are there any questions I should be asking myself before I chose? Any help would be much appreciated. Is there a better option altogether? I've searched the internet but it's basically an information overload, no good guides can be found for all the 5 year old junk :(
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
tuner you get depends on what software (dvr software) you want to run, what you want to do, and how fast your computer is.

things to know:

some with one tuner and some with 2

some with only OTA and some with QAM (unencrypted cable), some do both

hauppauge has pci/pci-e cards as well as usb

HDhomerun has several models, 2 tuner OTA/QAM, 4* tuner cable card, etc

Ceton has a 4, and a 6?, tuner card

some of these have hardware encoders, some dont (slower computers will need encoding otherwise it will be choppy, audio dropouts)
[Nook Color General] yoopyoop:
You should first figure out exactly what type of signal is coming in on that cable. Does your area still have analog cable service (my area does, but I think that's getting more scarce), or is it digital only? Are there any clear-QAM channels (which are usually just the local networks) or is it all encrypted? If it's only digital and encrypted channels that you're interested in, then you need something that can take a CableCARD.

After that, it's all about what software you want to run and how many tuners you require.
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
You may be better off just using a combo of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video and Bittorrent.

Otherwise you haven't given us any of your specs to be able you help you out. What type of PC do you have? Windows/Linux/Mac... Processor/RAM/HD, also like others have noted are you going for Over the Air signal, analog or Digital Cable, standard def or HD. Are you going to be using a set top box or going for a cable card(very expensive option). Give us as much detail as possible if you want competent answers.
[Nook Color General] sevs753:
As for using your PC as a TV and PVR, I'd recommend using XBMC to turn it into a Home Theater PC (HTPC). The site, LifeHacker, does an XBMC/HTPC guide every few months. You would still need to buy hardware like a TV tuner but XBMC does a lot on the software end.

Also, if you use XBMC, you can use your Nook Color (assuming you at least have rooted it and have access to the Andoid Market) to control the XBMC software via the XBMC remote app.

Here is a guide that lifehacker did. It's a little old but the basics are still relevant and correct. http*://lifehacker.*com/5536963/the-ultimate-start-to-finish-guide-to-your-xbmc-media-center (remove the asterisks)
[Nook Color General] angomy:
What everyone else has said -- need more info on what you have, also what budget, and what cable setup.

I have an HTPC set up but it's for media streaming, not dvr recording.

One forum I found very helpful is the AVS forum (search in google), they have a sub-forum dedicated entirely to HTPCs.
[Nook Color General] Landara:
Sorry for the lack on info didn't know that my PC specs mattered all that much. I am running:

Vista Home Premium, 64bit

Intel Core2 Quad CPU (Q9300 @2.5ghz)

4GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT240

Appx. 600gb ofhard-drive space plus a 500gb permanent external USB. I can add more HD space if it becomes a problem.

Not sure if there is any other system info you guys need.

As for my cable I dunno for sure what signal I have, I have COMCAST if that helps anyone. Mainly I want this for recording sports. I can't always watch them live and it'd be nice to DVR them for later. I'd also use it for shows, but those I can always watch online later. Can't really watch sports later though. And I'd also like to be able to just normally watch TV on my computer. I'd like to be able to do something on monitor one while the other plays live TV. Sports or whatever.

Also, to this:

I am not sure what you mean. I was thinking you get the TV Tuner, install it in your PCIE slot, and watch TV on the PC. Do you need another device?
[Nook Color General] joenathane:
A basic TV tuner will only be able to pick up Over The Air signals and basic cable(very limited channel selection). If you want to be able to watch digital cable you'll need either a set top box or a cable card and cable card reader(like this one).

some nice basic tv tuners

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshyy_rey:
This is probably a too long story to ask a simple question lol. I've tried every calibration, tip and trick to get my battery life to where it should be like others are reporting.my battery life has never been great just alright at times. And since gingerbread its been awful. I've even tried not installing any Apps to make sure it wasn't one of them causing drain. I've tried every rom cherry, alien, stock, fruit cake I'm on cm7 now. So I called AT&T and they wouldn't replace my battery because the phone wasn't upgraded on my line. (got it off craigslist). So I called moto and they said they would replace The battery. But they are out of them for 1-2 weeks. Plus 4-5 days for shipping. That being said I can wait but I'm tired of my phone dying in 4-5 hours from being in my pocket all day on campus while I'm in class, with light usage between . So while I wait for the replacement. I was thinking of buying a battery off amazon. And I was wondering how many people use or have two batteries and how useful is it? Or people that have one healthy battery is that enough in your opinion? Sorry that was so long and drawn out lol

So far so good. But I'm still trying to calibrate the phone. I will be at %1 for 8 hours. I'm pretty sure that it's due to me swapping the batteries instead of charging it in the phone.

But I can vouch for 36 hours of my usage compared to 17 hours on our standard.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlharsch:
I'm fortunate, I guess. My battery life has always been pretty good. One battery is sufficient as I'm never that far away from the ability to charge it with either a wall charger or car charger. Since I typically can go all day on a single charge, if needed, I'm content with just the one battery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Just one and I don't feel like needing more than that...

I use my Atrix a lot, and I mean A LOT, but whenever I sit on my desk, I plug it into my trusty Lapdock and work from there, both on the phone and webtop. Very convinient I must say.

Obviously the Atrix charges while docked, so whenever I need to walk out of the office, the Atrix is 100% charged and ready to go.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
underclocking with setcpu is the only thing that works for me. that and use the alien theme. for now, it will give you exceptional battery life when using a screen off underclock profile compared to others.. my phone actually holds it's battery while sitting around.. by which I mean, while sitting idle with the screen off I lose about 1% every 2 hours. ;-)

this also assumes you disable all networking when idle. green power automates this task. if you for example, leave an app like Netflix on pause and let your phone go idle, your battery will suffer. best to close all tasks before standby
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Victor B:
I have not had any problems with the stock battery. The first week was really bad, and it only lasted maybe 6-8 hours. After that first week, it got waaaaaay better. I can get easily 2 days of moderate use on 1 charge. It seems like it's getting better as time goes by.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King_MSD:
I have two batteries, but i rarely need the second battery but i just switch the batteries around so i get a good lifetime out of both of them. With light usage i easily make it through the day but my phone goes on charge most nights so i rarely test it more than that.

Si ya no aparece en el nuevo FW, (4.0.1.A.2.368) no habia escuchado... alguien que tengo ruteado su (145) puede pasarte el APK, si no la verdad te recomiendo mucho uno en el market, "POWER CONTROL WIDGET" o also asi, que es casi identico, transparente, te deja escoger que botones quieres y la forma 1*4 2*3 etc, y el color de los indicadores es totalmente configurable (ose si lo quieres azul, puedes hasta escoger el tono).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latz:
I have done nothing but research since last night about how I can use ActiveSync for Exchange with a different port but can't seem to find an answer.

What annoys me more is that this can be done on the Apple iOS.... a dumbed down, off the shelf, user device but not on our devices.

The standard email.apk doesn't allow you to specify a port, only allows SSL on/off. I am running SSL over port 8081 due to my hosting ISP limitations.

K9 Mail will allow me to use a port but doesn't sync my contacts, calendar, etc... I really need ActiveSync!

Any one know of how we can get ActiveSync on Android to talk on a different port to the standards?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latz:
For anyone in the same boat as me.... I found a reasonable solution that works quite well.

1. Forward your domain email account from your domain to a Gmail account, authorise Gmail to send and receive for your domain email account (you can set it to default to reply from your domain email address). Two ways you can forward:

A: If you're hosting an exchange server you can create a contact in Active Directory, make that contacts email address the gmail account email address. Bring up the user properties of your domain email account, select Exchange General tab, select Mail Forwarding, then select the contact you just made. Apply all and that will forward to the Gmail account.

B: Put mail forwarding options on your domain host to forward your domain email account to the gmail account. This costs some money but not much (currently about $5 per year with Go Daddy).

2. Export your contacts from Outlook into a Windows CSV file, Gmail understands this file with no issues. Gmail will inherit all your contacts once this is done.

3. Setup the Gmail calendar with whatever specifics you need (time zone, etc).

4. Setup Gmail on the Android. It works like a dream... I've not found an issue with that setup yet and I get my email, calendar and contacts all sync'd happily :-)

Really hope this helps someone.

How do I flash different ROMS to my Captivate using stock out of box 2.2 ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
which rom do u want to flash? The easiest way is

Download and place ROM on your SD card

Download a custom kernel which includes CWM support.

Flash kernel.tar using ODIN to get CWM

Reboot into recovery and select Install zip from SD card.

Find your ROM and flash it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Op fyi That is if you're flashing a froyo(2.2.x) rom. A gingerbread rom (2.3.x) would require a step before the custom rom to flash gingerbread bootloaders with odin.

If you flash a gingerbread rom without the bootloaders first you will not be able to boot into recovery you will just get a weird scrambled screen.

You don't use ROM Manager to flash the ROM. Simply put the ROM on your SD, boot into recovery(Volume up+down+power), install zip, choose zip to install, select your ROM, and you're off

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2_d2:
I posted this question in another thread, though I never got a direct answer and didn't want to hijack the thread either.

A while back I had my phone repaired. I've never attempted to update my phone in all this time. I recently installed Kies and saw the following information:

PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)

It says "This version of the device cannot be updated".

When I tried the "software update" via the phone, which then said a new firmware would have to be installed and if I'd like to download. I selected Yes and then the phone reboots. When it came back on it said that the update had failed and to try connect and do it through KIES. So I think there's an update available yet I can't do anything about it?

My phone details are:

Android Version: 2.3.3

Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4

Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974

root@DELL103 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1

Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone when they repaired it? If so, will there be a way of changing it back?

Thanks.

NO all its says is root@dell which is part of the signature and nothing to do with rooting a phone ..

If Kies says no update for your phone then its usually correct .Phone provider has not updated firmware .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2_d2:
I'm not sure where I can find that information?

I never used Kies until now and the phone wasn't updated before sending it back to be repaired. I don't really have the intention of rooting the phone myself. Was just wondering why I can't update the firmware.

Kies says there's no update, however I'm asked to use Kies after a failed attempt to use the software update function of the phone. It says that there's a new firmware version available. I downloaded it and it asks to reboot my phone. When it starts up again it says the update has failed and to use Kies. I don't understand why it would say there's a new firmware available and yet I can't update it?

If the phone isn't rooted by them, why won't the software update allow me to update the new firmware that it says is available? It fails and asks me to do it through Kies where it says that my version of the phone cannot be updated?

Dude... You keep asking the same question. Although I cannot say why your phone is telling you that you have an update available and it is failing and saying to use KIES, I can reiterate what JJE mentioned and that is that it sounds like your carrier has NOT released an actual update for your device.

I recommend that you call your cell phone carrier and ask them if and when an update WILL be available and start from there. If they say that there IS an upadte available then you can ask your question again but until you know for sure you are just going around in circles.
