[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayJayW18:
Dear users,

I bought the 10.1 in Hong Kong last week.

Now I can choose from 3 kind of keyboard:

- Android Keyboard (cannot choose Chinese)

- Samsung keyboard (cannot choose Chinese)

- DioPen Chinese IME

I can not find out how to type Chinese with the first 2 keyboards.

The last one, I can type simplified, but dunno how to change to Traditional.

Someone who can help me?

The ultimate solution would be: Traditional Chinese via Pinyin with the Android keyboard

[HTC EVO 3D] kaphtc:
This morning, Oct 18, 2011, my HTC EVO 3D alerted me of a new update available. I wasn't quite sure if it was a software update or Android update as it only said "Update". The information provided talks about 3D games and so on. The file/update was around 36MB. I downloaded via Wi-Fi and when I'm about to install. I clicked OK. It showed "Shutting down" then after a couple of seconds. I saw a blue(can't remember) triangle caution/warning sign with a little android guy on the screen with no progress bar what so ever. It hanged there for almost 4 minutes. So I started doubt if everything went right. I went ahead and took off the battery. I'm not sure if I updated it fully or correctly.

My phone info:

HTC EVO 3D x515m GSM

Rooted

Now the phone is fine but I don't feel so good now. I feel something inside has broken. I also did a search later and found that Android 4.0 is out. The demo video looks great. I'm not sure if that's for HTC EVO 3D also. But if I want to upgrade to that or make any update, can I unroot my phone then reroot after the upgrade? What do you recommend for a rooted user?

So far I only root it to use Simba and Titanium Backup (but I haven't backup anything yet cuz I think MyLookUp can backup everything I need or Titanium Backup can).

I'm a little worried as the phone is my favourite so far. Please help me find a next step to be up-to-date with the updates.

Regards
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
First: That's the normal install screen for when it's turned off. I'd have given it like 10-15 mins. If it was just a program software update then you really couldn't have broken much. No worries there.

Second: ICS is released, but it's not available on the Evo3d (Unofficially or officially). You'll know when it is, forums will be on fire with "How to install" threads. And if you're looking to install it over the air, you may be waiting a few months, since HTC would have to get it working, and they're slow asses.

Third: If you install a major update (Like upgrading the Hboot to 1.5, probably ICS when it comes out too) you'll lose root and S-off and be unable to re-root and S-off till people find a new exploit to give it to you. Don't accept OTA's or bad things can happen.

Last: If you want to keep it up to date, AND keep root/s-off you need to learn how to flash roms, and follow the development section. People will take the HTC approved OTA updates, clean em off, and you can install them without losing root.

If you don't trust yourself to play around with roms, then you're kinda stuck picking between root and being up to date.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaphtc:
Thank you so much for your reply. You've cleared all my confusions in just a single post :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
Go into Settings> System Updates> and turn off Automatic Updates to keep your phone from auto-updating like that.

Thanks, I just updated that setting. I never knew it was there, by the way and the way it's written on mine doesn't seem like that option exists on that page lolz but it did and changed it :D.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
on both star burst 1.4 and viperboy i have had the problem that when plugged into usb the phone automatically connects over MTP protocol...... how do i change it to MSC?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I can't remember how since it's been a while but Google how to switch it from MTP to mass storage. You edit something in Windows, it's pretty simple and easy. This of course, sets it to default to mass storage. On the phone though you can manually do it by going to settings>wireless settings>usb settings

It should be self explanatory after that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you turn on USB debugging, it should disable MTP mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mr72:
Yes, I've read the threads. I've done the search.

I have an HTC Aria running liberated FR008.

It's been working brilliantly for as long as I can remember but the error popped up "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD".

There is no "smdl2tmp1.asec" file on my phone, never was that I can tell. That is not related to the problem.

Yesterday, at great expense of time, I removed everything from the 16GB SD card, reformatted it, and put it all back (about 12GB worth of data). This did not fix the problem.

One thing that may be related, I recently was running into the issue of not having enough space, so I moved the dalvik cache to SD using "a2sd cachetosd" or whaver the command is. HTC Aria having limited space for apps is a known major problem that I was trying to fix. Is this related? I don't know. I did this before it began having this new error.

Someone has to know a legit fix for this issue. There is 1.65GB of free space on my SD card and 34.48MB on the internal storage. There should be more than enough space to do updates.

What's the scoop? can someone help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mr72:
Anyone have a hint on this? My search ninja skills on the net are not giving me any answers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mr72:
Continuing the theme of one hand clapping:

I found for a couple of apps that could not update due to this problem, they happened to be apps installed on the SD. I moved them back to the phone and they updated successfully. I have not attempted to move them back to the SD.

Perhaps this data point aids in diagnosing this issue. If this proves to be a consistent pattern, then I will just apply this work around as long as I have space on the phone to move apps over one at a time and update them that way. Even though the solution to this bug doesn't seem to be at hand, perhaps this is a work around.

Yeah that didn't look close to me either lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imnothimm:
The guy in the video doesn't even know what he's taking about.

He says it doesn't offer you text wrapping when you zoom...

Yet, it does...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
What did this video actually prove. Am I missing something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bighulk666:
The OP is a MT4G owner wishing they could get a SGS2. FAIL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Actually, he knows exactly what he is talking about.

Because on the GS2 it doesn't work. Try it, most web pages load massively zoomed out and when you zoom in it does not wrap the text.

Been bugging me for days now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
text wrapping has worked for me, i just don't know if all sites support it or not. works on some, not on others. i'm not sure if the sites need to have some special html in there to enable it on our phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
I'll say that every once in a while the zoom word wrapping will not wrap but once you zoom out and back in, it works. Not a big deal at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
Text wrap worked great for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Yeah but it always worked on the MT4G...without having to do anything extra
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imnothimm:
Actually, if you look at the video it works on quite a few pages he visits. Just not the first one...

I haven't had any problems on any web pages that I've visited, and I've only ever noticed Checker boarding on XDA when i load the entire site or when i move accross a large portion of the Web Page. Even then it's only for about 1/2 a second before it goes away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] williamspalex:
Just another case of SAMSUNG JELLY ;) They were not neck in neck. Not to mention the GS2 was low on battery, which can decrease performance as the processor allocates resources differently when the battery is running low. All in all, Ill keep my GS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raydm:
but again thats at 1ghz !! if you do overclock it at 1.5 i believe its gona beat the sh*t out of SGS2. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
You really believe that? Lets remember that, that's not the stock rom on the myTouch 4g. That's a custom rom that is heavily optimized to perform on that phone. The GS2 is completely stock in that video and I think everyone can agree that this software isn't fully optimized on our 1.5ghz snapdragon. You can have a quadcore phone with a 4ghz processor, but if the software isn't optimized correctly for the processor then it will move sluggish or slightly sluggish. Once we get a proper ota fix from Samsung I can bet money that a rooted myTouch 4g overclocked will not outperform this phone running the stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Ounce is right, raydm is wrong. The MT4g at 1.8Ghz didn't even beat the NS at 1.5 and both of those are single core. Just think about your comparison there, bud; 1.0GHz single core qualcomm SoC versus a 1.5GHz Dualcore qualcomm SoC. Both have 1GB of ram. You would have to blind, illiterate, unable to comprehend basic numbers, or just plain stupid to honestly believe that a single 1GHz core could outperform two 1.5Ghz cores...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Thank you very much. Yes the myTouch 4g is a fast phone but I don't care how much you overclock it, there's no way it will ever out perform this phone if the software is optimized correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Well isn't that great for you. Just because you only visit Web pages that happen to load as mobile content doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist.

I don't care what you or anyone else says. On the MT4G there was an option to load ALL pages as mobile content with perfect text wrapping OR to act as a standard browser. On the SG2 it's hit and miss, with no option, and about 75% of the pages loading as full web pages waaay zoomed out. I owned the MT4G since it came out and it's true there are certain things that it did better. Sorry but that's the plain truth.

Now I love this phone and would never go back to the MT4G, but let's not get into the habit of pretending there are no issues...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
install setcpu and set the performance gov and then see what phone performs better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
It still makes me chuckle to see people comparing a completely stock, non-rooted device to a highly customized and optimized device and ignoring the fact that the one without root STILL beat it. Heh people are funny.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
I don't think anyone with a brain really believes that the MT4G is a better phone.. But I can tell you running my MT4G stock 2.3.4, not rooted, can give this phone a run for it's money on stock 2.3.5

but once the SG2 and it's software are optimized it'll blow the MT4G out of the water
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
In my experience, it seems to be hit or miss. Maybe there's a threshold that it's looking for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Not to argue, but in what department does the myTouch 4g outperform this phone? I've owned about 4 myTouch 4g's and I can definitely say they performed well especially with Faux's rom and kernel, but as far as a stock myTouch 4g vs this stock how will it ever compete? The myTouch used to lag horribly on the stock rom after a few days. Your debate was a better one when you said an overclocked myTouch could outperform this phone stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
First of all I never said anything about rooted or overclocked anything. You're confusing me with someone else in the thread.

Secondly, I noticed more lag on the stock GS2 playing games then my stock MT4G. I'll not saying this to annoy people or make a point, but it's what I noticed. The MT4G seems to process graphics on existing games better, which is probably due to the SG2 being so new and apps/android software needing to be updated and adjust to slight nuances in the way the SG2/2.3.5 runs.

Also, as stated before, the stock Web browser worked better.. And I've never had a problem with stock GB on the MT4G lagging at all. Maybe it's the way I use my phone maybe the choice of apps I utilize, whatever the case, my MT4G is still running flawlessly fast.. except now it's my wife's phone lol

I'm not going to nitpick the GS2 because it's by far one of (if not THE) the best phone out IMO, but I'm a realist who pays close attention to my phones as I'm pretty much glued to them all day every day.

I just can't stand when people overstate a phone's performance and I'm holding the same phone in my hand and can see the flaws people are bringing up DO exist.

I also hate when trolls bash the phone and lie about flaws that DON'T exist.. So I try to speak the truth for any potential owner of said phone. May not make me popular with the fanboys who can't see past their blind love for their new toy, but at least those who know I'm honest will respect my opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I definitely respect your opinion and I can agree with most of your statement. For me the myTouch 4g was definitely a performer on Faux's rom and kernel and battery life was one of the best I've probably ever gotten out of a smartphone while being on his rom. On stock I just had too much lag issues after a few days of use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
May have been some apps conflicting with each other or GB. I'm pretty picky with what I install and use on my phones.. But also highly optimize function by choosing apps that work well together and bring a huge functionality benefit.

Launcher pro plus, widget locker, wave launcher, LPP friends widget, FB, TweetCaster Pro, Xda pro app, Tapatalk, beweather pro, minimal reader pro, sign (paid), all part of my basic initial set up. Then I add more as I go testing and removing if necessary. Of course when rooting,I add titanium backup, ROM manager, etc but I often jumped back to stock and ended up staying that way until I bought this phone, which I'm not sure if I'll root yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Sense is optimized for the adreno 205. Htc has their own flash apk flash plugin lite to be precise which mixes with the flash apk from the market. Making web pages load smoother and faster in some occasions. Touchwiz for all Galaxy s2 is hardware accelerated except for for this phone. Espresso sense is also lighter than standard sense. Samsung did a decent job on the processor but they forgot to optimized the gpu for this phone I think its not even be used at all properly in games. The adreno 220 has 50% more performance increase then the adreno 205.
