[Sony Tablet S] bassplyr:
What are the practical performance differences between the two configurations. I know more RAM is always better, but is it worth $100?

Thanks,

Roger
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
It isnt ram, its storage. All you 'gain' is more room to store apps, music, movies etc. The tablet as almost all honeycomb tablets come with 1 gig of ram. If you see yourself packing the tablets with movies/photos etc then yes the 32 gig one is worth it.
[Sony Tablet S] 4dthinker:
At $100 for a 16gb increase it is far less expensive to just add a $20 16gb microSD card to expand to 32gb from a 16gb model.
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
Probably is til Sony patches it (and i hope they do) the sd slot is basically just a file transfer/media storage rather then true storage.
[Sony Tablet S] piflechien:
And keep in mind that the 16GB version only offer 8.9GB of storage !
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
that of course isnt counting the 3.8 gigs to install apps on
[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
with the correct 3rd party apps on the market you can use an sd card as true storage!!i got a 32gb sd card full of movies working with mx video player pro which you need for divx/xvid/avi movies anyway!! Got the card for £29.99 and its a class 10!
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
what app is it?
[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
Well you can use File manager HD to look for and open files, or say if you have movies use MX Video Player. On both apps the sd card shows as sdcard2
[Sony Tablet S] sixthday:
Pretty much every single 3rd party none sony/asus/google/htc apps can play/view file directly from the SD card.

Only thing you need to know is that your SD card is located at:

/mnt/SDCard2/
[Sony Tablet S] aaroncev:
I really hope you can gather data from SD card with stock music and video apps.
[Sony Tablet S] D00QLE:
Like ken says 599 us dollars,

Get it my 32gb have 8gb left
[Sony Tablet S] AirwolfUK:
hi - could someone please explain the storage setup?

I swapped my 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a 16GB Sony and as mentioned previously, it only shows 8.92GB internal storage (USB) plus 3.94GB internal storage so that's approx 3GB for the OS and sample files!

I assume this is just the way Sony split up the 16GB?

On the Samsung it showed approx 15GB from new

Just trying to clarify....

thanks
[Sony Tablet S] plerzelwupp:
The storage is splitted between storage for application installation and data such as files, videos, photos, etc..

my brother has a hd2 with 6.5 with elegancia v1.0 cht 2.0 wwe. He likes the andriod feel and wants it on his phone. Every link that i have followed turns up as a dead link or no help on explaining it. the andriod walkthrough has left me at a dead end trying to find a build that works with the system. is there somebody out there that can help me step by step of the way or give me very detailed instructions on wiping windows and installing andriod. i have a htc glacier and it was a little easier for me to flash the phone then it will be for me to guess and possibly brick. thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vensterbank:
Euh, so you do understand the Hspl and magldr and recovery?

Inportant: every rom uses its own partition layout (for recoverymod) it can be flashed from your pc. Then you can boot into the recovery by booting in sd. There you can instal rom from youre sdcard. Thats it. There are some very detailed videos of how to fresh install android. There was one for the ultimate droid 3.3. Search for it, that video helped me alot.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
So the USB mass storage functionality has stopped working. I've owned the same G2x since it came out. I tried in both stock Android (2.3.3) and CM7 build 152. I've tried attaching the phone to two different computers running two different OSs (Win7 x64 at work and OSX Lion at home) and using two different cables. `adb devices` doesn't show any devices attached, either, and I have "USB debugging" enabled. The G2x shows it's charging, so I know the cable's connected and receiving power from the USB bus. I'm gonna call T-Mobile (and/or LG) about it. Has anyone had the same issue? Does anyone know of anything I should try?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Did you install the LG drivers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Download from LG here:

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Yup, LG drivers are installed on Win7. No drivers needed for OSX.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Have you altered the mountpoints of your sdcard? I've noticed that in stock roms if I change the mount points of my sdcards then I can't mount them to my computer as mass storage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Nope. But I guess I could format the SD card and internal memory. Only problem is that I have data I need to keep on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Did you try a different USB cable?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Yup. Tried three different cables from three different manufacturers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Hmm I'm not sure what else to suggest then. Do you have clockworkmod recovery? Try booting into clockworkmod and go to Mounts & storage. Select to mount USB storage there and see if it mounts to your computer that way. If it mounts there then at least its not a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Doesn't work that way, either. I put in a new sd card and formatted the internal sd (emmc). I think I'll be making a trip to the T-Mobile store tomorrow. I'll probably need to put it completely back to stock, heh. I should be okay just to reflash the 2.3.3 update right from the LG tool, I think.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Happens to me from time to time. All I do is turn the USB debugging mode on and off and plug it in until it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
I tried cycling usb debugging, too. Didn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
So I'm making a little bit of progress. I installed adbWireless and plugged in the USB cable. This is what `dmesg | tail` gives me:

<4>[ 2528.279492] -->> MUIC : Set_MAX14526_Usb_Mode_Detect
<4>[ 2537.679262] Dumb charger detected
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
I'm backing up my sd card through wireless adb by using `adb pull /sdcard/ sdcard`. I'll hit up t-mobile tomorrow and see what they can do for me. I'm hoping that I can still use the LG tool to flash 2.3.3 so I can be fully back to stock (uninstall clockworkmod). I'll keep you all updated in this thread. Meanwhile, if anyone has any more suggestions, I'd love to try them out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Do you have an external sdcard in your phone? Just use a file explorer to copy all your data from the internal SD to the external one and then take it out and use a microsd adapter put it in your computer to get your files from it.

To return to stock you can also download the stock nandroid backup posted in the dev section. Its here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196019

Download it to your computer, unzip it and copy the unzipped v21e folder to your external microsd card to the ./clockworkmod/backup directory (using an adapter since USB mass storage doesn't work). Put the sdcard back in your phone and use clockworkmod recovery to restore that nandroid to your phone. It's stock unrooted 2.3.3. Then use the one-click nvflash tool from the dev section to flash stock recovery back to your phone. Now you're back to factory condition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a v21e nandroid backup. I just tried connecting the phone for nvflash, but that doesn't work, either. It doesn't show up in the LG Updater tool, either, when I plug it in. I think it's just plain broke. It'll charge, but won't do anything else.

I stayed up just about all night last night backing up my internal and external sd cards. I zipped the internal, placed the zip file on the external, then used an adapter to copy all the files on the external over. My biggest concern was the $50 in music I just bought that was residing on the internal sd and the keepass file I use for work.

Anyways, T-Mobile opens up in an hour. I'll head over after restoring the v21e nandroid backup I have. Hopefully they won't notice the ClockWorkMod recovery, heh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
Talked with T-Mobile. Apparently, I told them a few months ago that I rooted my phone and put cm7 on it. D'oh! They told me to contact LG, who could probably ship me out a new/refurbished device. If I did that, I'd be without a phone for multiple weeks. LG would see that I have ClockWorkMod recovery installed and could still reject my refurb request. I'd be out the cost of shipping and without my beloved phone for a few weeks.

I think I'll wait to see what Google has up their sleeves for their October 11th event. I might use this as an excuse to devour an Ice Cream Sandwich.

Thanks for all the replies and the help. If anything else comes to mind, let me know. I've loved this phone and would hate to part ways with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
This happened to me 4 months ago. I tried everything with no luck. You'll have to get a replacement, I couldn't unroot it obviously but I installed a stock ROM and deleted everything custom. Only way they would have known it was rooted was if they powered it off and held down volume and power button. I've had my newphone since then :) goodluck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Instant Soup:
USB debugging mode on and off.

Thanks, this worked for me. I have been trying to figure out how to get it working for a few weeks now.

How common of a bug is it for the G2X? I Have not heard of it before.

----------------------------------------------

Probably a rare glich with CM7 stable, pulling out the battery did not make it go away, but toggling the usb did.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] scooter247:
Make sure you don't have the usb charge only option check. If you do it will only charge and not connect the mass storage. Should be under settings, sdcard, first option.

I need help connecting to Odin

I have two I9000M's

one is mine and the others is my wifes.

Mine can connect just fine, but for some reason i can get my wife's phone connected.

Basically what happened is she liked how much faster mine was with Darky's Rom, vs her stock phone.

So I odin flashed darky v10 no problem, and CWM 10.2.2.

Then trying to connect the USB to get her contacts back and such, i cant connect her phone. Odin wouldn't work either.

I have tried with the SD card in an out

SIM in and out

Connect the USB cable after i am in download mode and before.

Any idea why I can not connect her phone but i can mine?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Is Download mode (Volume UP + Home + Power) still working?

And, is Recovery mode (Volume DOWN + Home + Power) still working?

If Recovery mode is working, you can try to proceed an emergency recovery of firmware with KIES.

Otherwise, you really have a problem.

Good luck !

This has been an ongoing issue on my Arc.

It is like nearly impossible to connect my phone to PC.

I have tried via wireless, and when connecting vis USB, I have to unplug my phone about 20 + times before it finds it and lets me into the files.

Why is this? Is this an Xperia issue, or is this a windows 7 issue?

Is there a work around for this yet, its driving me insane. At both work and home it takes forever to get my phone to connect to pc.

I only had trouble connecting via PC Companion and that piece of crap managed to brick my phone when trying to update to 2.3.4 so I took the plunge and unlocked the boot loader. I have had no problems connecting with Fastboot, Flash Tool or just connecting as a mass storage device (although this can take 10-20 seconds before it registers). The laptop I use for the phone runs XP.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devilbabi:
Did you find it hard to unlock the bootloader and will this void my warranty??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabe:
I use Win 7 Ultimate and it finds my Arc instantly when connected to USB (have not tried any other method). Same on both PCs I use. So it might not be the OS. It could be firewall or antivirus. I use Windows firewall and Microsoft Essentials, but others may be more strict.

Windows Vista and wi-fi is the whole other story. Vista just keeps thinking of new ways how to play with your nerves when it comes to any wi-fi functionality. I for one could not persuade it to connect to internet via WI-FI, it just let me connect to the local network. I therefore skipped it and went straight from XP to Win 7.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
There are guides on here on how to do it (I would advise against following SE own guide as it is too involved). The biggest issue for me was, of course, getting the PC to see the phone in Fastboot mode. Once I had solved this issue (using device manager on the PC to install the drivers) it was easy.

Yes it could void your warranty. If you make a mess updating your phone by flashing custom ROMs then this would not be covered. Also if you overclock you CPU to 2.5gHz and melt it that would not be covered. I would guess that manufacturing faults would still be covered but ALL modification is at your own risk. I was comfortable to do this as I have installed lots of custom ROMs from my time as a ZTE Blade and SE X10 owner. At the moment there are not that many modifications that are available but with SE announcing they are supporting the Devs I am sure that will change.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjarnia:
I browsed through the development section and there is SO MUCH STUFF THERE. :/

Even if I read it all I would still not really get a good answer to my question:

What are the most popular, consistently maintained and stable ROM's out there that aren't heavily themed (I like AOSP or close, not MIUI)?

I've used CyanogenMod on my Nexus but it's still in experimental phase for SG2 and I don't really want to start off my new uberphone with broken stuff.

So far from what I've gathered is that Villainrom is at least consistently maintained, but their website is almost devoid of any information in regards to looks and features.

Batista70(?) also sounds like a relatively popular choice?

I realize this sounds like a completely idiotic question from someone that's too lazy to read, but honestly to answer this question you can't just read for a few hours, you need to have been around the community for a longer time to get the feel of everything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You are correct if you want an honest opinion look yourself try them their are a billion users asking the same question with the same answer their is no best rom .

Why not start with the simplest rom that you understand what's on it and how to flash it .

Then work your way through others .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
Atm, i think the best roms (no one over the other, they all good the same)

Batista70 Foxhoud 2.0

Villainrom 3.0

Leomar 2.7

those are the roms i personally tested, and looks like also the most "used" by the community.

Im sorry if i didnt listed someone else rom, it's only because i didnt tested personally.

All the 3 are KI3 (2.3.5) based, so they may have few bugs/instability since 2.3.5 is less than 1 week old.

For the KH3 (2.3.4) every rom is very stable and works fine, i personally tested:

Cognition 1.5.1

Lite'ning 6.1

Checkrom v3

If you want a not perfect (few bugs) but totally different rom, i suggest you to try gangsterjoop Miui 1.9.23 or Galnet Miui 1.9.23

That was actually more a roll of the eyes to this type of question. It gets answers like yours (no offence meant) where people just tell you what they use. Not many people have done extensive testing of every single available ROM, but people still keep asking these lame questions.

I got a contract termination letter in the mail from Sprint today saying I was using too much data while roaming. I have been in contact with them since day 3 about my poor coverage (-115db) at home and work (-105db 1x!). The airwave is backordered for 4 months, so oops.

Question is: I am new to Cincinnati. I need a carrier for 3 smartphones (one in Iowa) with 5gb per month on two of them and 10gb on the third. I would like to stay under $200 per month which cuts out At&t and Verizon (reason I left Big Red). T-Mobile jumps to mind, but the Iowa phone would be left roaming all the time. Cincinnati Bell is the same. Any ideas? And no, the Iowa phone can't use the T-Mobile wifi calling, no wifi :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Rtistique:
If Sprint terminate that suck. the second is t mobile cause they have unlimited data but they slow down your data if u use to much. the other two u going be paying a arm and a leg....... how much data do u use, cuz i use 35GB one mouth. im still good. do you have a contract on you phones??
[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
No, they canceled my early termination fees about a month ago due to my complaining. They also waive them when they cancel your contract for excessive roaming so I'm double good there.

I hear very mixed things about T-Mobile, but they do have cheap plans. Got to ask a rep about their roaming limits...

[HTC EVO 3D] sillymeboy:
1. Like the other post say "Were you using prl 00001" or any other prl besides the default one?

2.Also what plan were you on and is unlimited data roaming included in your plan?

Just wondering b/c I use prl 00001 and have Sero Premium which have unlimited data and voice roaming. I use prl 00001 with every phone I get and have been doing it for over a year now. I never get any extra charges or letters from Sprint. Yes, I do use over 300mb a month. On avg I use about 1.2 gb a month
