I've tried doing the first two things but to no avail. What does task 29 do, basically wipe all the data on the phone?

It can't be a network or SIM issue because he SIM works fine in another phone. But I think I'll try going for the last option later.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnerz:
yes it does wipe the phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ellisbodds:
Will it wipe HSPL, cLK and CWM as well? Or do I just need to reflash the radio and ROM using CWM afterwards?

Thanks :)

Oh and I'm assuming it doesn't touch the SD card?

Thank you :-)
[Milestone 2 General] tezet:
One more question. What is the source SBF of fixed-sbf file? I was expecting it to be this 2.2.2-CH, however the kernel images are different. Only devtree is the same.

I guess it was already answered here, but there are too much posts to go throught.

Edit: Nevermind, now I see it is just an earlier build of the same kernel. An earlier leak, I assume.

Regards,

tezet
[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
Fixed-sbf is not an exact name.That sbf you specific only contain CH2.6.0 kernel(CG35)+devtree(CG61). It should call kernel-sbf.
[Milestone 2 General] tezet:
Yeap, but the kernel images are different, which suggests that fixed-sbf is extracted form a different build:

2.6.32-9-g...62 vs 2.6.32-9-g...59.

When I pair my ET4G with my PC via bluetooth for file transfer. The PC says that the drivers for the device are not installed after it appears to pair successfully. It worked fine with my old Epic. I have the USB drivers and Kies installed. I know that Kies does not support bluetooth connections. Anyone else having this issue or able to make it work? If so, what did you do to get it working? It was really nice to transfer one or two files to/from my PC without pulling the phone out of my pocket.

Hey

Im looking for a application that lets me answer calls by voice by saying a prerecorder word of my choosing. While at first appears like a gimmick, its nice for when you are in the shower, a call comes in and you dont want to hit the screen with wet hands. Say the word and the phone picks up the call and (optionally) turns on the loadspeaker.

What application can I use?

my droid 2 global's bootloader (i presume) is blank.

my phone will boot and there will be a complete blank screen.

Fixed A Problem Very Similar To This

So my neighbor has a droid 2 global and pleaded that i restore it to default SBF cause his screen went blank and he already has the manufacture warranty replacement phone sent out. if Motorola gets it back with it being circumvented they'll revoke his warranty and charge him FULL price for the new phone.

Two tricks,

1 in the scenario above i simply put a fully charged battery in and turned it on , plugged it in to my win 7 64 with rsd lite 5 and SBF'd it successfully

2 with my GF's droid 2 global when i got it all messed up trying the latest 1.10.7 from MIUI, i had to remove the battery , put it back in (if it suddenly turned on just by putting a battery in i'd take it out and try till it did nothing) then i'd flip the keyboard out and hold down the up arrow on the keyboard. i would push power and hold the up arrow for about 5 seconds and plug it in to the same pc SBF it and it would work again
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
Hello there :D Long time lurker here, usually I don't bother posting unless I can't find the answer anywhere else (and this happens to be that kind of situation), so I'm here asking for help deciding.

Anyway, I'm in the market for a new tablet (strongly prefer a 7 incher, the portability of it is a huge selling point for me). I've had for a few months a COBY 7 inch tablet, and while the form factor is really great, I want something newer, shinier, and better :o And so I'm stuck choosing between the HTC Flyer and the Acer Iconia A100 (The Viewpad 7x looks nice, but too expensive and the Thrive 7" comes too late for me, I want to order on Black Friday), so if you guys could fill in with your thoughts on the following subjects (would like to hear from owners of both camps), it'd be great to help me decide!

Display quality: Which one has the better picture quality/more responsive? Do I need a screen protector (i.e. no Gorilla Glass)?

Performance: Which performs better in your experience? I'm having the worst time choosing between a faster single core and a slightly slower dual core.

Battery Life: From what I read, the A100 is pretty mediocre here (under 5 hours). But I'd like to hear your thoughts anyway.

Mod-ability: I read that the Flyer has an HC ROM out, but is it rather difficult to install? I'm by no means an extremely advanced user on Android, but I know my way around tech, like to experiment, and with sufficiently detailed instructions I can get by fine.

Although the difference in price is about $20-30 atm, I would also need to get an MHL adapter for the flyer, so for all intents and purposes you can consider the prices to be the same. Which should I choose?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
http://www.tabletvstablet.com/2011/06/29/acer-iconia-tab-a100-vs-htc-flyer-evo-view-4g/

That article states the Acer's RAM as 512 MB, while we all know it's 1 GB. And the weight is not 470g, more like 410g, 0.92 lbs.

Lisa Gade ( http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/HTC-Flyer.htm) suggested that the single-core CPU will hinder the Flyer's performance if it is ever upgraded to Honeycomb and beyond, which she doubts. Lisa also said the Flyer won't play 1080p video at all.

It doesn't look like the Flyer has any flash with its rear camera - not sure of that.

The Flyer does have 16GB of internal card storage, compared to the A100's 8GB.

I added a matte screen protector that reduces reflections and fingerprints, as well as preventing scratches.

The one factor that drags the A100 down is the battery life. With only 3060 mAh, 5 hours with WiFi on is typical.

I too would be hard -pressed to choose between Acer and HTC at nearly equal prices. I would want to be sure that the Flyer will be upgradeable to Android 3 and 4, though.

HTH.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
So wait.... the A100 actually has 1GB of RAM? (on the Acer website the description says 1GB, but the Detailed Specs say 512MB, so I assumed the lower value as correct), if so, that's excellent news.

Would the battery life be more or at least around 6 hours without WiFi on? I don't tend to use the tablet to check the internet/email that often. (mostly to consume content in the form of books, audio books, comic books, or movies)

Can you recommend any good quality screen protectors? I wouldn't want to risk scratching the screen.

And do you think the Acer would be officially upgradeable to ICS? (Given the current track record of cellphone androids getting even Froyo and Gingerbread in the past year out, I really haven't been expecting much out of future official updates.)

That bit about the 1GB RAM on the A100 really has me steering towards it now. :D:D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Laaf2005:
I am in the same boat. I wanted a flyer but best buy was out of stock so I got the a100. So far I love the speed. I am a little disappointed with the battery life. It lasts me throughout the day, but I have to remember to charge it every night. With my ipad2 it would last me 2-3 days before charging. I tend to forget to charge every night so its nice to have the longer battery. The flyer is estimated at 9hrs. The flyer is not tegra 2 so there are some cool games you will not get with the flyer that you will get with the a100. I've seen honeycomb on a flyer and it seemed to run fine. The other minus on the a100 is the screen. It is very bright and clear, but to me the viewing angles are terrible. It is not ips and the flyer is so the viewing angle will be better with the flyer. It is a little distracting to me, I have a habbit of tilting the screen slightly when using it and the screen will darken or brighten when doing so. In portrait mode it is worse to me. One last thing is the home button that I keep pressing with my hand causing me to exit applications which is annoying when it happens. Other than those things the a100 is really nice. The build quality is good although not as nice as the flyer. The HDMI port is a nice feature, the sound is great, and it really is fast. They both have their good and bad points, but to me they are pretty much at a tie. If you are not comfortable 'hacking' your flyer to get honeycomb on it I would get the a100. I find honeycomb more enjoyable to use.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
I'm not adverse to flashing a new ROM, but the releases so far seem a WIP rather than a leaked finished product.

I would just like to hear some opinions on what quality screen protectors you would recommend and, perhaps, instructions on how to avoid air pockets when applying them?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] thinhletien:
if you want long life battery, and nice screen, Flyer is better

if you want HoneyComb 3.2, microHDMI, A100 is better

Alright, I bit the bullet and went to buy it today [Iconia A100]. It's charging now, but as soon as I get some time to fiddle it, I'll give my impressions for anyone in the same spot as I am.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] digittante:
I was in the market for a new tablet to replace my rooted Nook Color (currently on eBay). My usage scenarios are pretty simple: Google Reader, Kindle app, browser, status updating, Flash video support, and fast/responsive 7" screen.

There are 8 Best Buy locations in my area, and only 1 with the HTC Flyer in stock. I went to check it out, but couldn't convince myself to spend $300 on a single-core tablet with the holiday season just around the corner. The sales guy remarking the product is 'discontinued' and the ambiguous fate of Honeycomb/ICS for the Flyer also held me back.

So I wandered the store and found the Acer Iconia A100. Only $30 more, smaller, with a Tegra2 dual-core proc and Honeycomb already on board. The choice was easy.

I've had the A100 for 24 hours, set it up with everything I need, and am now digging into the only 2 problems I've discovered:

1. Page margins in the newest Kindle for Android app are HUGE. All features/functions of the app work fine (downloading, syncing, buying, etc). But actually reading a book in portrait mode leaves 3/4" of margin on either side of the text. The Kindle app under CM7 on my Nook Color was terrific. This, not so much. Currently trying older versions of the Kindle app to see if they display differently.

2. Swype reports it is incompatible with the A100 screen-size. Haven't identified possible solutions yet, but might try older versions.

These issues are big ones for me. YMMV.

Happy to answer questions.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] painter_:
If I remember correctly, there was something special with installing Swipe on the Nook Color. I do not remember what it was but I would look it up and duplicate the process from there. I am using the SwiftKey tablet version and it is wonderful on the A100. I wish I could install it on my (now my daughter's) Nook as well. I found on the 7 inch display I do not miss swiping.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] digittante:
SOLVED!

Version 2.0.5.103970165 of the Amazon Kindle for Android app works just fine, and displays with normal (small) margins. Now I can read books on the A100 using the full screen width.

Now on to solve the Swype problem...

@Painter My daughter has her own Nook color (rooted)! Makes a great first computer for kids!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
Great, thanks. That was annoying me about the margin issue, but I was just dealing with it.

Also, the best keyboard I have used on any 7inch tablet is Thumb Keyboard 4. It is amazing and very customizable. On other keyboards, using the keyboard in landscape is very uncomfortable. This keyboard has everything in thumb's reach and has several different layout options. imo, better than Swype.

You are right about the keyboard. Amazon had it as a free app a few weeks ago and I grabbed it but never used it. It is very nice, thanks for the tip.

Player Pro , PowerAmp and DSP manager.

If you're gonna try Player Pro you will want to download the DSP app for it as well (they will guide you through it in the app.)

PowerAmp equilizer is built in I believe.

You wont find DSP manager in the market since it's a app by the Cyanogenmod team, search DSP manager apk in google and ull find it. Unlike the other two this DSP manager will change the sound for the whole phone and not only a music player. (you have to be rooted for this to work, i think)

I posted a long reply with a link to a picture I took of the case and when I posted, told me I can't post links yet and nuked my whole reply.. :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
(Ok, had some food and time to retype my post)

I've been using one for about a month now, I tried a few of the protective "hard use" cases out there hunting for the most protection I could find for my View but had no luck till I found the Aegis.

Overall its been great, I'm ultimately waiting for the Defender from Otterbox to come out as I need the most protection I can get for my device but this will do nicely till then for the most part.

They did a good job of of making the case fit the Evo View tightly, making for a pretty svelte case for the amount of protection it gives.

One small thing about the fit, the bottom lip of the silicon part catches on things sometimes and has developed a tiny bit of sag because of it but it's nothing major. I can't post links yet but if you look at the pic I posted at umf dot net/View/View_Aegis.jpg you can see the slight sag in the rubber part along the bottom edge of the screen (hope the pictures not too blurry)

As far as smudges, its held up pretty well on the rubber parts, some smudging but most of it "rubs" out with my finger if I really wanted to clean it. The hard plastic parts of course look pretty much new but then again I put the device

inside a small Maxpedition pouch before throwing into my pack so I don't exactly "abuse" the case.

So all in all, while its not Defender or Ballistic HC level of protection, for the minimal bulk it adds it's still a very sturdy case and works great for "around town" I still plan to purchase a Defender case for "in the field" type activities (hopefully Pelican or Otterbox will come up with a water/crush proof case to fit 7" tablets into for more "extreme" activities) but I am very satisfied with the Aegis as well and will continue to use it whenever I don't need that ultra level of protection (or bulk) that the Defender will provide.

Hope this helps! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] theomni:
Thanks a lot! I acutally ordered mine a few days ago, and I expect it to come tomorrow. I'm replacing this leather folio case for the Aegis. One thing I will really miss is the flap that covers the screen as well as the ability to have the tablet angled up like a stand. Its very convenient when I'm reading at a desk or watching a movie.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
Yea I guess that's the main reason I still kinda baby the View while in the Aegis case, the screen feels vulnerable. A hard plastic cover that snapped on the front that also somehow snapped on the back and provided a kickstand would pretty much cover all the bases.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] barry99705:
I just ordered one, should be here tomorrow. Got tired of waiting for Otterbox to get their **** together. :mad: Would love to see Ballistic make a case for it, but they probably wouldn't see a return on the investment of case design and manufacture for this tablet.

Got it!! It's a little fiddley around the volume and power buttons, but once you get that worked out, it's not a bad case!
