[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Hello, i used to have an atrix... then a photon and i still got them around but ofc im using the Infuse.

I was used to the WebTOP thing those motorola phones included in wich with just a bit of modifications it was an actually funtional "large screen" mobile computer; as soon as i got the Infuse i go and try the HDMI to realize its just HDMI "mirroring" so it just displays what you have on he screen... so seemengly "useless" at that time i went for rogers GB base ROMs since i wasnt gonna use HDMI.

Anyways now that i see the kernel problem with Rogers GB that didnt let HDMI go out its fixed with the J2 leak i went curious about HDMI again. Still whats the big deal to create the WebTOP display and can it be " ported" easily to Samsung? Or its device specific too hard etc etc?

Would be nice to not just have HDMI mirror but a kind of "WebTOP" for the Infuse since you can turn it into an awesome " micro laptop" with about 15 minuts of mods run full ubuntu etc.

Closest i have found its this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162662

I know its probably hardware things still....

If anyone could be so kind of explaining me whats the deal about only motorola being able to run a WebTOP OR if its possible to just pull the apks from my photon/atrix and run them on Infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Web top is lame, hwy I can run Web apps and browse Web sites like any other browser. I really don't get it.

You can actually run Linux in place of the Web top on the atrix but it had limitations last I looked. But yeah it is kinda motorola specific. Though if you install Linux to the sd card it is possible to ruin it along side Android. Then with a set of apps you may be able to access it with vnc software through Android to display the GUI on an hdmi device.

I'd imagine this would be slow and take a while to setup but it could be fun try.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Yeah i mean i know you can basicly run browser like desktop etc, still maybe its my bigscree or my infuse but it scales so ugly it doesnt quite looks " HD" and the fact that its always portrait unless you open a video... maybe im playing wrong with MHL and my big screen but the videos dont look as good as i would expect, and again i repeat maybe im doing somethign wron but i sometimes use netflix on my infuse and put it on the bigscreen by the MHL adaptor and it looks UGLY choppy slow etc... if im doing something wrong would be nice if someone helped me out... its a 52" 1080p screen im connecting directly the MHL to hd cable to tv... and running froyo stock atm... looks bad videos look choppy dar sounds sometimes syncs off etc...

thats why i asked about the webtop cause it created an external emvironmet "ugly one" still looked so good while running videos etc that i could say " hey now thats hd"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Yeah the scaling sux, but video playback isn't mirrored the phone screen should be off and it should output high Res video. A lot of the hdmi stuff is closed source and I don't know if the devs can figure out a way to interface with it. I wouldn't be optimistic about a better way.

Are you playing videos pdf the sd card oder flash off websites? If the Samsung player is running and you go full screen it should look ok. If it is windowed or uses the flash powered video player then there isn't any way I know of to get better than 480x800 res with bad upscaling. Try forcing the TV into 480p and see if the sharpness improves, other than that, I guess you have to deal with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Hmm idk how netflix works to be honest... but the screen nevers goes off while im playing a movie... that puts the phone temp REALLY hot after 2.30 hrs of playing with the screen on... i havent tried any videos directly from Video player i was saying Netflix quiality trough HDMI SUCKED haha...ill give it a shot at forcing the tv to go 480p thats actually a nice idea i didnt had... tnks man.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
You are lucky you can even mirror Netflix. Samsung can't even allow there own media hub to mirror, the studios won't allow it. It would be too ready to record and distribute, media hub videos are only licenced to playback on the device. running mhl only gives you a message about how it isn't supported.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] koriotto:
Lol thats true, then ill stick with what i can get hahaha.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rmgill:
At the moment I am satisfied with my Epic 4G - Samsung finally released Gingerbread source and Cyanogen 7.1 is coming along nicely.

However, I stumbled across someone selling a like new ET4G for $325 with car charger, case, and screen protector. The ESN is legit. This sounds like a great deal, and I know that I can resell the phone at that price or higher if I decide I don't like it or if the Galaxy Nexus miraculously comes to Sprint in November.

For those of who who jumped ship from the Epic 4G to the E4GT: are you happy with your decision? Do you miss the keyboard? Any advice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beejmeister:
I'm very satisfied and happy to have switched. Loved my 4G (my wife now has it) but the ET FLYS! This thing is FAST. Greatly significantly faster.

The increased operational memory and the internal USB RAM is also a great boost. For regular phone use the 4G is quite good. For a power user... the ET is the answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikey80021:
I am personally glad i made the switch, I love the ET. My wife now has the OG Epic, and coming from the shift, she's in heaven.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rmgill:
Thanks for the responses. Do you guys miss the keyboard at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
Loved my Epic but EG4T is another level
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IllogicalBeetle:
I cannot speak about the Epic 4G, but I recently got into an ET from an OG Evo. I am in heaven. I cannot imagine a better smartphone is on the market right now, and I have played with a few of the contenders. I have not rooted it yet and I do miss some things lost without cyanogen (which will give me a reason to root when it is available) but I don't hate touchwiz. Certainly not the way I hated Sense. In fact, it has a couple features I genuinely like. Right now, I am happy as can be with the phone. Even if the Galaxy Nexus came to Sprint I am not sure I would see it as essential to wait for it.

As always the ET could have better battery life, but it is vastly superior to my Evo 4G in that regard. I assume once cyanogen is out, battery will improve a bit more.

It's amazing. 325 before you sell off yours? I would bite. For sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LaoArchAngel:
I jumped from the Epic 4G to this. I have to say that it is a pretty significant upgrade. The whole thing seems a lot smoother for me. My girlfriend still uses the Epic 4G, and when I use it, the thing feels both small and bulky at the same time. And since your Touch will be an out-of-contract purchase, you'll be able to get a nice discount on an LTE phone when Sprint makes the switch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rmgill:
Thanks guys. You've convinced me to go through with this. I have watched a few videos of folks playing around with their ETs on YouTube and was impressed by the snappiness and screen size. Not that the OG Epic is a slouch - I'm just a size queen and rather demanding when it comes to my electronics. The fact that the ET is likely to get ICS next year is icing on the cake.

Like ArchAngel suggested, my plan is to snag a sexy LTE phone (hopefully a Tegra 3 Kal-El) this time next year when I have the 2 year upgrade eligibility. Score!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikey80021:
As far as missing the keyboard, I don't. I thought I would, but in landscape mode, there's no issues for me here;-)

In short, there is no easy fix for this.

[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
If you want to try and use an external 3G modem you will need to root your device and get a custom ROM that has the 3G patch. Most of them now do have one. There are only specific dongles that will work though, more specifically the Huawei ones.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steryman:
Ok so I read on other forums and CyanogenMod forums that it's somehow possible to get CM with LOCKED bootloader, by using the root exploit like gingerbreak, downloading ROM Manager and installing the mod. The question is... can we do this too on Xperia Arc? Because I really like CyanogenMod7 but I don't want to unlock the bootloader because I will lose the DRM Keys. Yes I know, I can unlock it without losing DRM Keys but that costs and I don't wanna spend any money. So, can we get CM7 with locked bootloader on Arc?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Try it, and let us know. ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pushtostop:
Rom manager uses cwm which u won't have or get by installing rom manager

Rom manager is an app to run cwm from phone not a work around way to flash roms

Cm7 uses its own kernel. It will not work on stock kernel and u can only change kernels wit fastboot.

Fastboot is only enabled by unlocking bootloader.

Best I can explain it

Ok so maybe these guys on N1 made it but it was cm6... Maybe it was easier... Anyway... Should I unlock the bootloader? What will i exactly lose if I'll do this? I mean, what apps/functions will stop working by removing the DRM keys...? I heard one of them would be TrackID
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pushtostop:
Honestly not sure done mine and haven't missed anything that was removed.

Phone Unbricked again with sucess

Hi guys i want to share some information who was useful for me with Xperia Arc S 12w07 :

Important : Dont make normal updates with SEUS ou PCC if your phone was unlocked by other tool, because you will brick the phone, you need to start using other firmwares, but ask for opinions first..

After Alejandrissimo unbrick my phone, the phone ask me to do update to new version, so i click yes to make thet update, and after 5 seconds gave me one error in update, so my phone was dead again with yellow triangle with one phone, so i talk to alejandrissimo again and he gave one file to fix the phone again with Flashtool, so i will share with you ok, but i think i already saw this file in other post..

Steps :

1º - Install Flashtool - flashtool-0.9.10.1

1.1º - Google and find this file : " [Xperia Device] flashmode & fastboot driver bundle " and install all..

2º - Install all Drivers

3º - In flashtool be sure if the drivers already installed, sometimes the file install but in pc need to install more with the phone connected

4º - Select Flash Mode

5º - Put the fix file in folder firmware of flastool, and you can delete the other file x10 in the same folder you dont need.

6º - In " Program Files\Flashtool\devices\LT18 " you have this file loader.sin, when you try to flash if he give this error : " cant find loader_unlocked.sin ", then you need to rename the " loader.sin " file to " loader_unlocked.sin", and then flash again, and will work..

If was simple bick like my phone it will be fix it, maybe for other phones is the same, check the devices folder for the files and if you need to rename like i did...

Hope this help for some people ok..:good:

Now i need to update to new version of android, but i need to see what is the correct file to flash or i will brick my phone again..

Tks to Alejandrissimo again, he teach me to do that.. :fingers-crossed:

You have to unlock your boot loader and install a CWM loaded kernel because every time you change your ROM on a locked boot loader, you wipe your /system (partition with your CWM on it) so you lose CWM.

unlock boot loader now , this wipes the phone.(when you say this wipes phone what exactly happens)

Install the stock kernel with cwm via flash tool or fastboot downloaded from here

Wiping means all your user data gets removed. SD card is unaffected.

You flash kernels through flash tool or with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img, not through cwm

You do not need to reinstall stock kernel. Just boot into recovery and restorr from backup.
