[General Questions and Answers] NiGhToLoGy:
Hi all. I´m new here, I´ve used the Search but I couldn´t fine any post comparing these tablets nor here nor under their respective sub-forums.

I´m searching for a new tablet (my first tablet was a crappy chinese Mid V7 mounting a Via wm8650) and my budget is a bit limited. I wouldn´t spend more than 200€ or a little more, that´s around 300$.

The thing is, I´ve got the chance to get one of the above tablets for a reasonable price but i´m not sure which one to pick.

I can get the toshiba in an auction for less than 200€, 2nd hand. And a mobii point of View new for 210€. I´ve read the forums here, about the Toshiba and the Advent Vega (as the PoV seems to be a clone) and still, I cannot decide.

Not sure the toshiba is another clone of the Advent vega, but it really looks like. I see no big differences apart from the 16GB of storage on the Tosihiba versus the 4GB on the PoV.

So here are my questions,

¿Are both tablets basically the same one? ¿Are they able to run the same customized rooms, like the Vegacomb etc...?

¿Which one is more reliable, if I can use that term? ¿Which one is easier to root/customize/update with new roms etc...?

To sum up, ¿which one would you pick?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] NiGhToLoGy:
Sorry to bother but I´d really appreciate any help here.

i´m running out of time as both auctions I´m following for the Toshiba end tonight, and I really don´t want to pick the wrong tablet. :(

Does any one know how to make an app that can auto on/off connectivity functions?

For 3g,Bluetooth, airplane battery saver??
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] 2new:
That would have been perfect. I don't like to have to go into an app to do that, it should have been possible to do it just from a tile.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] adiliyo:
i don't think the api's necessary are available to developers for that, but i agree it would be a killer app to have.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Magpir:
have it timed auto/on/off
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] StevieBallz:
At least for unjailbroken devices I can assure you that this can't be done with the current APIs. Otherwise Apps like Connectivity Shortcuts and Network Dashboard would use this instead of linking to the settings pages.

It might be possible with a jailbreak but as of today i have no App that managed to change those settings programmatically.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cyclical:
What would be killer is to have the phone toggle "ON" wifi when you are at home based on your GPS location. And automatically turn it "OFF" when you were no longer within range.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] LDJ:
Its really frustrating as this should be simple for MSFT to implement and this functionality works really well on Android.

I love it that my phone turns the bluetooth on for me to drive to work and BT off and the Wifi on when I get home.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene7:
I have a need for an expense app that has the ability to log a bit more that the standard number of data entries.

I need:

Date | Exchange Rate | Payment Type | City | Country | Amount | Currency | Vendor | Notes

(Not necessarily in that order!)

I then need to export to csv, or similar.

Any ideas on an app capable of this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene7:
I've found Expense Manager - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.expensemanager&feature=top-free

and List Wizard - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.greenbeansoft.ListProLite&feature=search_result

I like the look of List Wizard, but not there yet...

Any other ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene7:
Just found HiMoney...

Again, close to what I need, but not there 100%

Have mailed the various developers to see if they are willing to help, but no responses from anyone yet - which surprises me.

Anyone have any other ideas on good expense managers with user definable data fields?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retznto:
I've changed the LCD density on my phone recently, and everything seems OK except for the HTC Sense 3 lockscreen, which doesn't seem to have scaled properly.

I was wondering if anyone here knew of anything I can do to get it to scale properly :p

Any help would be appreciated!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbigdave:
I think you would need to use the tools available to re jig the screen size for the lockscreen (M100 or whatever it is called), I had this problem with the "Lense" style on CM7 when i changed to 180
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retznto:
I've been searching around for tools like that, but can't find any! Searching for M100 doesn't come up with anything :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
I think its an M10 tool that requires a decent set of programming knowledge (or at least it did when I last heard of it)
[HTC Sensation] airzone:
Hi,

I am trying to get HTC Connected Media to display some photos on my Sony BDP-S370, however it's not playing nice!

When I come to the player selection, it will not show the Sony BR player... When I do a diagnostics on the BR player, I cannot see my Sensation. I can hit refresh or whatever, but the only device I ever see in my player list is the Sensation itself.

However, my BR player is showing my PC based DLNA server fine, and if I install Twonky on my Sensation, it instantly reflects on my BR player. I can only think that I have screwed up the HTC Connection Media config - if only I could see a config!

If anyone has had luck with HTC Connected Media or knows what I am missing out on, pls let me know :)
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
I've got the same BD player and have the same frustration. I can stream server to BD, server to phone, phone to PC but not phone to BD. It would be nice if somebody has a fix.
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Try this app it's works for me on my Samsung blu ray player.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bianor.ams&hl=en
[HTC Sensation] airzone:
Ok, I'll try iMediaShare and see how that goes. TBH though, the device advertises it's DLNA serving capabilities, so it's pretty poor form that it doesn't work as advertised!
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Thanks, will give that a go. Though as airzone says, it should 'just work' out of the box.
[HTC Sensation] indie:
Get imediashare as airzone said. I can now stream music to my Xbox 360 as my phone shows up now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Can the stock email allow you to select all as read, just at present I am selecting emails individually and marking them as read or deleting, am I doing something wrong, as I can't seem to find select all and mark as read, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MorRoquen:
Nope, there's no "mark all as read" feature. But you can do a multi-select and delete.

Just go to your unified inbox/inbox, hit the "menu" button, then press the delete button. you'll see checkboxes next to each email - select multiple emails and delete.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhhans1:
In sgs 1 in stock email app i was haveing the option of multi-select, and after that click mark as read...this is the most feature that is missing to sgs2. So multi select is working only for deleting...bad very bad...
[Captivate Accessories] adzidek:
If I told you guys I was making white housing for our Cappy's, would you guys be interested in buying it?

It's not available anywhere, but I made one for myself and it looks great!

I was thinking of charging $40.....trying to get some idea of how many people would be interested.

Let me know!
[Captivate Accessories] reinbeau:
Just remember, if and/or when you start to sell these, you need to do it in the Marketplace, not here.
[Captivate Accessories] Red_81:
Just my own opinion here, but I'm not loving it. The fact that the sides are white, but the backplate is still black doesn't look good. The front would look better if the top and bottom were also white. It would make the whole thing look complete.

I like the concept but I think it needs to go further.

FWIW, I've always been a jet black gadget lover. I think it looks sleek and refined. White just always made me think back to the old white/beige PCs of yesterday.
[Captivate Accessories] yamahakid:
i would absolutely buy one, ive been scouring the internet for them for months now
[Captivate Accessories] Seanbest:
Top and bottom of the front white would look better. White lettering on the back too maybe?
[Captivate Accessories] kant5t1km3:
ill buy for $40 maybe a bit more, it just past my bday so i gots money to spend.

Pm me if you want.....
[Captivate Accessories] jonnyg1097:
40 seems a little expensive for my liking. And it looks like to me that all you were doing was just adding a vinyl skin ontop of the phone.

Although if you were to make one for the whole phone I think 20-30 would be more than enough of a fair price for one.
[Captivate Accessories] adzidek:
actually no, i bought official Samsung replacement housing from Japan, then put 6 coats of white plastic paint, followed by 3 coats of clear. took about a week altogether.

Sent from my Android 4.0 ICS'd Cappy
[Captivate Accessories] storm_rider_1:
I agree that i think it needs to be more white, great idea though.
[Captivate Accessories] xhozt:
WHITE? ewwww.... just my 2cents.. now a matte black finish ill bite
[Captivate Accessories] rsx19:
maybe if it were actually white plastic and not just white paint, also the display would have to be white also cause it just looks ugly as of now
[Captivate Accessories] rs3freak:
i love the white, but like the others on here i think the whole thing should be white. and if its a white paint and not plastic isn't there going to be a chipping issue overtime?
[Captivate Accessories] Partridge86:
Green?

I dont mean to hijack this thread, but I was very interested in getting a different color housing for my captivate after viewing this. After searching for a few hours for colored housings online I just decided to try what you did with the white and buy my own paint and try it out! I went with an Android Green just to match my theme on my phone (I am due for an upgrade soon anyways). I will try to update with a picture of the finished productas soon as I am done!
[Captivate Accessories] nygfan760:
Wait...did you spray over the camera hole?
[Captivate Accessories] Partridge86:
well.. I was smart enough to put some clear tape over the outside of the camera lens, however when i flipped it over to get the edges I was not paying close enough attention and sprayed the inside. I was able to get the paint off pretty easily though.

I did an idiot move when putting my phone back together. I was using the phone with just the sd card to take pictures and left the card in the phone when trying to fit the housing back on.. needless to say I snapped the sd card in half and it no longer works :/

Edit: I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that I am done or if I should add another coat. However I am pretty happy with the color I just need to clean it up a bit! Let me know what you all think! :)
[Captivate Accessories] wwcjr91:
I think it'd be cool if you put a coat on everything that isn't the screen. To me it looks incomplete with the bottom of the phone(both front and rear) still black. Two coats probably isn't a bad idea! Maybe some gloss clear coat over the top to make it shiny? :) I like the android green choice though.
[Captivate Accessories] Partridge86:
well this is actually with about 3 coats and 1 "gloss" coat. I'm not sure if I used the right paint. I used the "plastic paint" which probably takes a bit longer to dry. When putting it back together I kept pulling the paint from the tail part so I decided just to completely take the paint off of that part. Also I was thinking about painting the top and bottom of the front, however I did not want to risk covering the microphone hole and the inputs at the top. I think if I hadnt rushed through it so much then I could have had a better finished product.. good thing is these housings are around 8$ on ebay so I can just buy another one and give that one a proper try!
[Captivate Accessories] AdamOutler:
Prep work is 90% of painting. The actual painting part is very quick. You should have sanded better. It looks like the paint will dry and begin flaking off if it has not already.
[Captivate Accessories] Partridge86:
Well one of my friends suggested I should "wet sand" it. I've personally never heard of that but he said it will make it look a ton better, so I guess I'll try that this afternoon.
[Captivate Accessories] AdamOutler:
Wet sanding= sanding with water to remove particles from the sandpaper.

Start with 200 grit to really clear off the paint. Then move to 400 grit. Then move to 800. Then clean with alcohol VERY WELL.

you want it to be flat and sanded down to 800 grit across the whole piece. Don't stop with 400 grit until all the green is gone. Use 800 to polish it. The rubbing alcohol is used to clean off any particles which may stick. Douse it in alcohol.

There are better ways.. but if you're going to do all of that, may as well use a nice metal flake paint and a clear coat from your auto parts store to get it really nice. If you do the clear coat, don't stick it in your pocket for a few days.

Also, time yourself on that 1 minute shake thing... trust me. Shaking is important. Longer is better. It helps the paint to dry properly and faster.

Hi guys..recently I had a new firmware update.2.3.4.

As usual the bloatwares appears,so I installed titanium and root explorer to get rid of it..

Funny thing is..everytine it will reappear again..and all the bloatwares came back..

How..to remove it for good?

Many thanks in advance!!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
Same thing happens to me. Using 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic. When i remove the extra apps like AppXTra, McAfee, WhatsApp by making the icons start bouncing around using the bottom left button in apps list, or in settings > applications > manage applications, they always come back on the next reboot somehow.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
Yes I uninstalled them like that and it didn't work. I used root explorer to delete the files and it also doesn't work. Not sure where these apps are coming from after being uninstalled. I updated via SEUS if it helps matters.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elnitrox:
i got one app that came after i did..

back up LIVEware manager and uninstalled the next day i saw it again

but the other stuff theyre all gone..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Check my singature for the tutorial on how to remove them, if you do it like that they won't come back.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinata76:
Erm I followed exactly..still comes back after reboot.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
I rebooted mine at least 3 times on .42 and they never came back.

Really strange
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
They sit in /system/etc/product/applications/. Simply use Root Explorer (or any other root-enabled file manager) to delete them.

The usual bloat sits in /system/app/ but these ones are quite different.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
I used the Generic Germany version via flashtool and this did not happen, but when I downgraded it for another reason and upgraded via SEUS to Generic Singapore, this problem happened. Does not seem to affect other versions thus far.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I think it's a Singapore firmware issue. I just flashed to 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic and had the same issue with some bloatwares (e.g. Foursquare and UEFA apps) that I uninstalled using Titanium Backup. I had no such issues when I was on 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global Generic.

Edit: The "stubborn" apps I've identified thus far are Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape, appXtra, Xperia Hot Shots and UEFA.com app. Tried uninstalling via 3rd party uninstallers but to no avail. Other bloatwares like Let's Golf and OfficeSuite are ok (i.e. remains uninstalled).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerald007:
Previously, I had the same issue of the bloatwares coming back after upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 Singapore generic rom. What i did was to repair it using SEUS which will wipe out the phone data. After that, simply uninstall those bloatwares using the normal method and perform a reboot to confirm they are gone before proceed to root.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chongbh:
I have no problem removing those system apps by moving them to the SDCard, apps like Data Monitor or Data Switch and after many reboots, they never come back.

Guess you need to remove them from the System/app folder.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I found only 4 apks hiding in the /system/etc/product/applications/ folder, 2 x UEFA apps, McAfee and Xperia Hot Shots. Removed them from the folder using Root Explorer, rebooted and true enough, those apps are no longer "re-installed".

But Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra are still being automatically reinstalled after the reboot. I searched and found the apks located in the /data/app folder. Removed them using Root Explorer, rebooted but the apps are still automatically "re-installed" after that.

Searched the /system/app folder but the apks were not there. Any idea where else the apks for Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra might be hiding?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dataDave:
I'm having problems with these too. I can locate the files but Root Explorer cannot change the permissions of the files from 'Read Only', meaning I can't delete them.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
You need to root your phone first.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dataDave:
Of course it's rooted. The problem was I was missing the r/w toggle at the top left of RE. :)

Mostly sorted now... Just need rid of a the apps xtra! and other bits of bloat now... Same stage as you now. I'll update if I find the location of these little bastards.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dataDave:
OK. I found them. :D

Go to /etc/customisation/applications and delete the 'com.qoowaa' APK file and the other foursquared one.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Thanks! Finally the bloatwares are gone! Looks like Whatsapp is also hiding in this folder.

Hi guys - I had the same problem and I'll write this for the next person who hasnt quite solved it yet.

1) Root your phone and then make a backup

2) Install ES File Explorer (because its free and thats what I used)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

3) Make a list of the Apps you want to remove (see my list with attachment pics)

4) Open ES file explorer and select the Menu button (bottom right on phone) and select settings - scroll to the bottom and select both Root Explorer and Mount File System and ok to all the stuff it says

5) then scroll up and change the home directory to / and select ok

6) then hit the back button (bottom left button on phone) and then touch the "Favorites" star near the top of the screen and then press "home" (the picture with the house)

7) now hunt for files to delete - some options are as follows.......

/system/etc/product/applications/ there are 4 files in here I deleted

then

/etc/customisation/applications

in here most of the com.mtel. files are rubbish and anything else you don't want....

PS - the funny looking red eye (icon) with lots of Chinese writing is the Weibo application which is "com.sonyericsson.androidapp.microblog.apk" and there is also com.sonyericsson.youku.apk (Youku)

see for a list below...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047689

8) Now go back to Titanium Backup and uninstall the programs/apps you don't want and maybe also go to the Apps menu and uninstall some from there also (just to be extra thorough)

9) Now turn your phone off and then on......

10) go to the apps menu and select list format for "recently installed" to see if any of the annoying Apps have come back and hopefully that should be it! gone gone gone :D

As of now, I have a mount in the location just below the hazard button that uses adhesive. I like the location because it is easy to reach for music while driving.
