You missed the point about essential.

Try to sell a tv without a remote :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Not bigger. Heavier? What 1 gram maybe? Cmon. Theres already been better reasons me.tioned to not have it.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
The point is, you don't get an extra feature without some tradeoffs. Thus "you don't lose anything by having it, just don't use it if you don't need it" is not a valid argument.

You can make the argument that the tradeoffs are worth it, and it certainly may be true in this case, but just saying "don't use it if you don't want it, you lose nothing" is incorrect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwiftLegend:
Is it really necessary to be so literal and precise? I know a kid that would've said the same thing, and I can't stand him. According to him, a word can't be "big" or "long", he's "not a yo", and saying f&**, etc, is not cursing, because cursing someone requires more than 1 word -.-

But anyways, to me, a SD card isn't a big deal. I carry my Transformer everywhere I go, and will do the same with my Transformer 2 so I'll have plenty of space there. Anything I want from it I can just transfer via Bluetooth.

A SD card would be nice, but to me, it isn't a big deal not having one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
try to sell a phone without external storage. it turns off some people or makes them weigh the pro and cons of the tv/phone more elaborately. which a lot of us are doing. we still don't know about a 32gig version. a 16gig one is iffy for me, and a definite tv without a remote for some people. and if you want to talke about price. google didn't sell the nexus s for 527.36 because they didn't include an sd card slot in the nexus s. you still got the full price. and i'm sure the same can be said here. some of us are turned off by the cloud. some of us will not even bother with a chromebook. what's funny is and failed to been mentioned by a lot of people is that if google had included an sd card, there would be lot less sd vs. non sd threads/posts and hardly any i'm pissed that google included expandable storage. and btw, i don't own a tv. and not because it didn't come with a remote. i don't want a tv. :D

I'm not picking on the wording he used, I'm refuting the essence of his argument.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blkrabb1t:
This thread is a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
That's because both kinds of arguments people have been using to argue for the inclusion of a microSD card slot goes nowhere.

The first kind of argument claims that the benefits of including the slot outweighs the costs, and therefore it should be included. But this comes down to personal preference and usage patterns. Some people find the slot useful and prefer to have it; others don't find the slot useful, or don't find it useful enough to be worth the tradeoffs, and therefore prefer not to have it; still others find the costs and benefits to be roughly equal and thus don't have a preference either way. Arguing over the inclusion of something whose usefulness varies from person to person is pointless.

The second kind of argument claims that the inclusion of the slot brings benefits but has no costs. If this were true, then there would be no reason not to include it. Even people who don't find the slot useful can't argue against it because, after all, it comes at no cost. The response to this argument is that it is not true. Including the slot does have costs: size, weight, monetary costs, etc.

The reason I've been careful in picking apart these two kinds of arguments is because they are very different arguments, and they get us nowhere for very different reasons. The only valid argument for the inclusion of the slot is to claim that more people prefer to have it than not. But for that argument, the poll speaks for itself, there's no need to argue further.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
Doesn't bother me. I don't load stuff on my phone much. My whole library I can stream using Google music, and I use Hulu+ for my watching needs. I also can use my computer as a server and stream my movies I have on the HDD. Been doing that for a long time and I don't even use the microsd's at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
You still don't get the "essential" meaning ... or you are trying too hard :)

You see, there are lots and lots of phones sold, being sold, and available that don't have external storage.

Got that? ... Or, you don't know?

A remote is very essential to a tv, people won't buy without it.

That's the different, being essential feature nor non-essential.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I think external storage is a nice-to-have, but I think I'll be fine with 16Gb. I've only got an 8Gb card in my Desire, and 1Gb of that is an ext partition. The rest is apps I've moved to SD, 2Gb of sat-nav maps for Sygic, music, pictures and flim-flam.

I hardly ever use the phone for music as I'm either at home, in the office, or in the car. All these places have a more useful way of playing music :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
I've seriously considered getting one of those wifi enabled portable storage devices to make up for lack of memory. I usually have my rucksack with me anyway:

e.g:

http://www.dabs.com/learn-more/comp...e-wi-fi-storage-usb-3-0-hard-drive-10229.html

battery life isn't great though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blkrabb1t:
You're willing to sacrifice battery life, and space, and drop £200 for storage? That's dedication to a device!

For me, my phone IS my portable audio source, so acoustics and storage are one of the most important parts of the phone to me, outside of a perfectly functional phone and GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i'm sort of the same.. i'm rarely ever at home & when i am home, it's usually just to sleep. since i'm out & about all the time my phone is sort of my center for entertainment. i use it primarily for music & watching videos. i rarely ever actually use my phone for calls. that being the case, the more storage the better & with my current phone for instance, i have 2 32GB's that i keep different items on & regularly swap between the 2 cards depending on what i'm doing.

sure, i have a google music account but find it a pain to regularly update + don't like the navigation system & would prefer not to stream. i like having all the music available right there on the phone & use a simplistic music player(folder player) to browse. i hate when music apps scan for files & use their own custom view styles. i just like simple folder browser goodness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Yes!

that's pretty much very similar to what i did here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343187

if GN had the SD card slot, it would have been such a perfect device, too bad they decided to drop the SD support :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want an SD slot...

But at the same time, I've never exceeded the 8GB card that I've been using since my G1. I spend all of my time within a 4 hour radius of Minneapolis, and even out in the boonies I typically get fine service. There's no subways here, and I'm not in an elevator for more than a minute a day. I'm a robotics technician with a security clearance. Phones aren't allowed outside the parking complex. So I don't need it at work. When I have time to listen to music I'm at home on wifi. My phone only occasionally gets used for music, and when it does it's stationary through speakers. I dont own a pair of headphones or earbuds. In three years, not one of my Android's had headphones plugged in. My Sonos system does the job nicely.

I have XM in my vehicles, so theres no real need for local audio storage there either. I spend plenty of time outdoors, but honestly much prefer streaming options while hiking, walking the dog, biking, etc. If data use becomes a problem, I can tether it to my Sprint (work) line. Obviously if there was no internal memory and no external options this would be a big issue, but as is the 16GB version will provide me with double the space I've been using.

For me (and acknowledging that everyone has different needs) an SD card slot is a non factor when purchasing a phone. All of my Android phones have had one, but it was never a consideration and honestly I won't notice it missing. edit: forgot the NS didn't, but that should tell you how much I noticed.

Is it dumb they aren't including it? Yeah. I don't see why anyone would say they prefer not to have an SD slot. But for my uses it's a nonissue. The only things I store locally are pictures, and as a meticulous organizer I typically only keep them on SD for a few days.

Different strokes for different folks.

I had a Nexus One and found the card slot really useful. I bought the Galaxy Note as I did't want to lose out on the card slot and am prepared to wait for ICS.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
I invited my wife to google music. Uploaded a bunch of songs from her pc (I have this all working fine on my droid x)

Her phone is stock with the latest firmware. I installed and uninstalled the app like 5 times. I can't get it to show the settings menu or anything.

Just want to confirm that this should work on this phone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exzacklyright:
Try rebooting the phone? I've had this issue before but don't remember how i fixed it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCStehle:
Go to Music Settings in the Google Music Beta account and check the number of devices you have associated to the account. I believe there's a limit of 8 devices per account.

I know people have been running into this limit when frequently flashing new ROMs since each new ROM represents a new device in the Google Music account.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsout:
Thanks guys. I uninstalled it and downloaded it from a different source. That did the trick.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rewind22x:
I've been searching all over for this info. Every thread visited always talked about not being able to link their account but none mentioned the device limit.

I got my Fascinate a week ago and confirmed that streaming through Google music worked right when i got it. Then I flashed PowerWashed GB and at once i realized, 'wtf? why isn't gMusic streaming'. I flashed back to stock, CM7, back to PW and nothing. I tried new radios, kinda-bricked my phone (stupidly checked the Clear EFS in Odin) resurrected my phone (a phone call restored my cell service, but activating my old phone and then reactivating my Fascinate fixed it completely) and now I have read your post, checked my account and sure enough I had a crap load of devices authorized. Culled the list and now I'm streaming. Thank you, very much.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MaidenComesStraighToHell:
Hey guys my hd2 works well at least 4 weeks now.

untill 3 days.. i was on holiday when my hd2 (with an sd rom version of android --> a nexus one build) freezed and now it shows only white and black stripes untill i turn it on -.-

i tried to install a stock rom ... install madglr or even task 29, but i always get an error (the image file is corrupt etc.)

can someone help me?

(sry for my bad english / it isn't my favourite subject :D)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I don't understand... You have SD Android and your screen displays black and white stripes when in both Android and Windows Mobile or only on Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MaidenComesStraighToHell:
Its bit confusing..

i had win mobile on my hd2 but i installed madglr in order to start the sd version of android automatically so i didn't start win mobile ...

now nothing starts -.- i start my mobile phone and from first boot it shows black and white stripes :s

what i didn't understand before that i couldn't start win mobile after installing madglr but this wasn't so important because i often use android :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Unrelated, but a bit of advice for the future is to read things such as this very thoroughly before doing anything. I understand that stuff like 'terms and conditions' don't really need to be read, but you can potentially ruin an expensive piece of technology here!

Also, can you get into the bootloader (press and hold volume down+power button when booting up)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MaidenComesStraighToHell:
yes i come into the bootloader...

but i can't install a radio rom a stock rom task 29 or madglr (alswas says: image file corrupt)

trying to istall a rom from the sd card... it shows loading for short time and than back to the three- coloured display
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Oh, sorry, I should have read more in this case ;)

Unfortunately, I have little experience. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out sorry.

[HTC Desire S] Romain2007:
Good afternoon,

I tried to apply the RUU update : RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

the installation went correctly (as it was told on the computer), but when the phone reboot for the first time, it get stuck on the HTC screen (white screen with HTC in green)

Before doing that operation I tried several ROMs so I installed the Revolutionnary recovery.

These are the information I get when I start the phone with (VOL Down + Power).

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

- I tried to apply an other RUU update, but the program cannot detect my phone (I get a USB error).

- I tried to enter in the recovery mode, but I am blocked on a screen with a phone and a little red triangle...

- I tried to force the update with loading my phone with a previous custom ROM renaming it "PG88IMG.zip" or "update.zip"

Do you have other ideas ??

I am still searching for a recovery ROM that I can force to be installed and from that I would be able to install another ROM but I cannot find this ...

please I need some help ...

Thank you in advance,

Romain
[HTC Desire S] Romain2007:
maybe it will work

I download the PG88IMG-RECOVERYIMG-v3.1.0.2-arco-mod.zip

I renamed it PG88IMG.zip

I reboot with the VOL Down + Power, and I think I update the recovery. I have to change the name, reboot and try to enter in the recovery mode ...

I cross my fingers ...

Nice to know. Ethernet might come in handy for a lot of people docking as their PCs.

I guess any other USB ethernet card that works with a normal Linux PC should work here.
[Atrix 4G General] victorhora:
Hello there,

First I would like to say that I'm glad that in the last few weeks i finally managed to let my heavy 15.4' 9 cell Dell Laptop on the Office and bring home the Atrix + LapDock everyday including weekends and holidays :)

I have what i need on my LapDock + FullUbuntu: gedit, gnome-terminal, OpenOffice, PDF readers, Psi+ (jabber client with PGP Encryption), GNUPG, Mumble Voice Chat, Firefox (with client SSL certificates :)) and OpenVPN.

Everything else, like e-mail, music and video players i'll prefer running on the Android :)

So, i want to buy this USB -> Ethernet adapter to make it even better!

I thought buying the TrendNet but it seems somewhat bigger than other adapters that use the same "chipset" (ASIC). I also find those adapters cheaper than the TrendNet one:

http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_nkw...=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1

I think i will buy this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-REAL-US...ltDomain_0&hash=item56471dfaff#ht_2136wt_1026

It seems great but now i'm not entirely sure what's the chipset on the TrendNet: AX88772A or AX88772B?

The one i'm buying uses the AX88772B.

The difference seems to be very small, the drivers seems to be the same and the "B" version supports checksum offloading and it's intended for Low Power consumption. Here's the detailed specs of both chips:

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=97;71;101

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101

So, what do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G General] blingmaster:
Did you get it yet? If you did, how does it work?
[Atrix 4G General] victorhora:
I bought this one from Deal Extreme:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691

It's really cheap, small and uses the AX88772B chipset.

But i'm not able to test yet, simply because it's not here yet :P

I bought using standard Air Mail that takes something like 20 days to get here in Brazil... And when it does arrive here it's going to take 10 more days (or even more) for Brazilian (Fuc***) Customs to release it for Brazilian Postal Service to finally deliver it... This sucks.

But well, i promise that as soon as I get it, i will test and put the results here.

Merry Christmas! :)
[Atrix 4G General] troycarpenter:
Post resurrection alert!

I tried this with an Airlink 101 today. I didn't add the extra lines listed in the OP, but I did start the dhcp client manually and it got an address and webtop was happy. Does anyone know if the android portion of the phone is able to use the wired Ethernet connection? From my quick test it didn't seem like it did.

I have a much slimmer Cisco USB to Ethernet adapter that I plan to try. I used the Airlink because it was lying around on my desk doing nothing.

And with all the webtop talk starting up, this may be of interest to others.
[Atrix 4G General] victorhora:
AX88772B not working :(

Well, mine did not work :(

I bougth this one from DealExtreme:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0...r-dongle-34691

As i said before, it uses the AX88772B chipset.

I have confirmed that and installed the driver for my MacBookPro and it's working just fine.

I have downloaded the drivers from:

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101

It's noticeable that there is also a driver for Android but it's the source code, not the compiled kernel module.

So i think i'll will need to get the Atrix kernel source compile the driver with the headers and prey to work... :(

Maybe it's something with my ROM... I have updated to the latest Motorola official 2.3.6 build for Brazil.

Could you guys tell me what's the output of these two linux commands, as soon as you plug the USB device ( the last 10 lines or so):

$ dmesg

and

$ lsmod

Victor.
[Atrix 4G General] thenicnet:
This is awesome.

Can't wait until they bring the webtop to CM7. It was a loss when I upgraded, but the smoothness and capabilities of a CM7 rom are worth the loss of the webtop... for now.
