[Motorola Photon 4G] richmc73:
Anyone have netflix dispaying correctly? Mine is inverted and if I hit the orientation button it only switches it on its side
[Motorola Photon 4G] depperly:
Mine does the same thing. I found if you take the phone out of the dock and lay it flat it will show correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Sorry to go off topic but how do you guys like the lap dock?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
A friend was happy to show up to apartment and brag BUT, I see no purpose in getting a dumb terminal when I have 2 laptops. Just me. Photon is sweet, but it cannot compete with my laptops.

EDIT: I was not attempting to be negative DWAKE014. This might be for you. My Boy is happy as a pig in...........Maybe the store has one you can play with for 15 minutes or so?
[Motorola Photon 4G] thehomelessguy:
This device (I have one w/ the photon) is meant for a narrow subset of users. If you have a tethering plan you are better off just using a full laptop (or a powerful netbook). However, if you dont and have no desire to pay 30 bucks a month the lapdock is a great way to have a 3G/4G netbook. In fact, the lapdock will cost you less than a years worth of tethering fees would. So in that respect it is a steal.

It is that simple. Incidentally this is why the lapdock is worthless on ATT. They force you to get a tethering plan if you want to use 3g/4g data on it. If you are already paying for a tethering plan you might as well use a real laptop.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
No offense taken. I have a 17" that I got when I started college 3 years ago and I can't take the damn thing anywhere easily bc of it's size. I'm loving the look of this bc realistically I just use my laptop for homework and web browsing. I'm just worried about the size, I need to hop down to a sprint store to see if they will give me a new photon anyways. honestly I'm really waiting on the 500, too bad I can't find any info on the thing
[Motorola Photon 4G] depperly:
I have the 100 and the old atrix lapdock I modified. I love them because they are small and allow me to do what I need, surf the web and remote control machines (logmein). I also have a laptop that I use for larger tasks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
OK, Im with thehomelessguy, more or less, 100% BUT, I do not get tethering. I had it, done it, but go get your own data plan (Ok, friend of mine had 2 kids at soccer, but) I can do one device if I want to, which would likely be MY laptop.

Next, lets look at our Photon (or any smartphone for that matter?). Years ago when I was in the BB part of my life, I wanted to make things simple. Out with pager in with BB. Then Treo with music. Fast forward, Yes I have 2 laptops, but I wanted something small, compact, did everything, that I could take anywhere. If Im walking downtown and I feel like a movie, Photon. If Im walking down the street and I want to see email, Photon. If im walking down the street and I want to work, Photon!

Yes, I could do this on a laptop, lapdock, tablet, but I dont want to hual all of that around.

Just muy $0.02.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kevmex1989:
So is Motorola planning to not make non removable batteries phone from now on? Is this a way for them to make hacking phones more difficult?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
That seems like a pretty large chasm of which you have jumped. I don't see how a non-removable battery would have any effect on the difficulty involved in hacking the phone.

Secondly, I don't see why this should have been posted in the bionic forums. This obviously doesn't pertain to the bionic at all. Perhaps the altogether general forum would be a better fit, or even the general forum specific to one of the moto phones that indeed has a non-removable battery such as the Droid RAZR.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
I think it was a reasonable question, no reason to jump down his throat about it. I have no idea if they plan on making all their phones like that but I don't think it would make it more difficult to root, rom, etc. It would make it more risky though. Imagine your phone freezing or getting stuck in a boot loop and you can't pull your battery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamIsYou:
Although this thread probably doesn't belong here, I'll chime in...

I agree that it wouldn't make it any more difficult to hack, but it would make it more difficult to recover from a freeze. I would certainly hope the hard reset would be in the hardware and not the software. Also, for me, having an Android phone automatically means having the extended battery. If they don't bulk up these batteries to the likes of 2000mah+, I fear the Bionic will the last great phone from Moto.

there, now it pertains to the Bionic =)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JillyBohnson:
Droid 4 will have a non-removable battery. So it could be a thing motorola its trying out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
I wasn't jumping down his throat or being hostile in any way. I was simply stating that it doesn't pertain to the bionic so there are better places for the question.

As for getting stuck in a boot loop or freezing, keep in mind that the Xoom has a non-removable battery and also a means of powering off in such an instance. Volume up key + power for about 2 seconds will do a hard power off. I imagine motorola would do something at least similar in all instances of non-removable batteries.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] omnia38:
I belive that it does pertain to the Bionic. Since it is a Motorola phone that will most likely receive a sequel, that may fall under their new trend of adding non removable batteries. Now granted, and it doesn't solely pertain to the current model Bionic, and but i cant think of a better place to post this question.

@OP: I thought about this problem once i heard of Motorolas plan. This bothers me only in the event of a boot loop. I think that this will make rooting and rom'ing more dangerous, but won't make it impossible. Can't tell you how many times a battery pull has saved me from a botched flash attempt.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
General

Droid RAZR General

Motorola Xoom General

All 3 more relevant forums for this question. Bionic has a removable battery. It simply does not pertain to it. If there is a Bionic 2, which I'm sure will happen, that will be a different phone. The phones most likely won't share anything in common outside of the general physical design of the phones.

You must have missed the part where I mentioned that the Xoom has a non-removable battery. Motorola thought about boot loops and freezes when they made that. I find it hard to believe that they won't provide a similar solution on any non-removable battery phones as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
My understanding of Moto's position was that they were pro-unlocked bootloader -but it's the carriers that ultimately have the final say. So I doubt the non-removable battery has anything to do with hacking...it probably has more to do with making the phone slimmer - understandable considering the new phones coming to market 4Q.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
I agree with this conclusion, as a non-removable battery can become an integrated component of the PCB if desired. This would make the phone considerably less hefty in the waistband.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dylanear:
What good is a thin phone when you have carry some USB power source and USB cable around. An extra battery fit's beautifully in a shirt pocket.

The lack of a removable battery is a complete deal breaker for me. At least until batteries improve a lot and/or CPUs/GPUs/screens/radios improve a lot (like a factor of 2 or 3!)

With how power hungry these phones are it's unbelievable to me that this is a trend. Perhaps if the iPhone 4S battery debacle doesn't get solved fast, perhaps it'll bring to the fore just how stupid the trend of non replaceable batteries is.

I think a major reason besides thinner phones (which I do think is a major factor in this trend) I think the resellers and makers see how an older dying battery will encourage a whole phone upgrade rather than going through the trouble of replacing an internal battery on a year old phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Although this whole thread is off topic, you're sending it even further off into BFE....we weren't trying to justify a non-removable battery in any way, we were merely providing a possible explanation as to why the RAZR has one.

I would say go ahead and start a new thread...but this one is apparently already pointless enough. Can we kill it now....please?

[HTC Sensation] bislexic:
Can you load an amaze rom onto a sensation?
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Do you want the whole ROM, or just the camera functions?

As far as I know, you must use a Sense 3.5 ROM and a stock kernel to get the Amaze camera to work. There are a few ROMs out there that include the Amaze camera.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lburns:
[Q] a few questions about conflicting threads & info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) is there a working hdmi cable yet?

i have read several posts saying there isnt and several that said there is (and where to get if there is one)

2) the bluetooth audio conection to the newer stereo head units work with my gtablet, but can i have both the stereo and bluetooth gps reciever working at the same time?

any advice and info on blutooth car audio is wanted, needed and appreciated.

3) is there any way to get a screen filter or overlay to increase visibility in sunlight?

4) can the gtablet dock be torn apart and packed in a smaller case to be used in a car dash install?

p.s you guys are great for tablet manufactures whether they know it or not! i wouldnt purchase a tablet not listed and supported on this web site, period. keep up the incredible work
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
I can only answer question number one. Yes there is an hdmi cable that will work. http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_10&products_id=27. Does it work depends on a few things. Some hdtv sets it works just fine, others maybe not so much. I have 2 tvs in my house. The big one in the living room works just fine. The set in my bedroom I get picture fine but the sound only plays out of the tablet. So basically your mileage may vary. The only downside for me with this cable is it's only 3ft long so it's really short. But it works. Maybe. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
I know that most emulators have been removed from the Android market (and are available on slideME) but is there any N64 emulators that support local (sharing one screen) or wifi multiplayer schemes? I am only curious about N64, I already know that there is an SNES and NES emulator that can do multiplayer. Thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanderfox:
I believe I saw multiplayer support in one of the last updates of N64oid. Haven't tried the multiplayer functionallity yet, but there were options to setup multiple controllers, so it should work :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
latest n64oid has support for screen sharing and multiple controllers as well as cheats

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forsterb01:
Hello all,

I'm currently trying to develop an Android app as part of my final year of university (I would have posted this is development but I'm too new :cool:) and I'm using my Dell Streak as the main testing device as, lets be honest, it rocks and I'm too poor to get another device. I'm running DJ_Steves Streakdroid 1.9.1 custom rom as the Android platform.

The app itself requires the usage of some sort of mapping API, and I would prefer to use the Google maps API as it has all the features I require and with it being built into a significant number of Android devices it would reach the widest range of devices whilst retaining the necessary simplicity due to being built into the SDK and ADT plugin. However when attempting to run a basic app prototype that displays a map centred on the last recorded GPS location, I run into a classDefNotFoundError every time I try to run it, indicating that the API does not exist on the device. This leads me on to a selection of questions I'd like to ask if anyone knows the answers to:

Do any of the Streakdroid versions have the maps API?

Do any other custom roms have the maps API?

Is the maps API included in the stock Froyo release?

or you just install like a apk worked fine for me.

From my CyanogenMod NIGHTLY, Thanks to FreeXperiaProject-Team
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] robertberma:
Its better to have it in your system app folder then media app folder. So when you have to factory reset ore something you will not loose the app.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nagarebozhi:
Its installs over the old one so it is a system app even if you install it like an regular apk. And with TB you can make it system to.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xdadevelopers1222:
On a side note...if your X10 is on the Sony Ericsson generic Gingerbread build (3.0.1.G.0.75), it should get the Android Market 3.3.11 rollout.

Today I noticed that the Market app on my X10a got updated.

Voice search over the Market works great! :)

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
For the full explanation with all chat logs with Acer and Revonate included, go to this blog post: The Cluster ****

You can read from the start or scroll down to 'The Conclusion'. The bottom line? Nobody will support this tablet and it technically doesn't exist.

*********​

I have a question for you a500 owners.

Does the SNID inside the microSD card cover [sticker] match the SNID in ABOUT and the SNID on the box sticker for you?

I'm not asking you to post your SNID, I just want to know if they all match for you and if not, which ones are different?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Mine do ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
mine does as well and also matches on the box the tablet came in.. Some custom roms mess those numbers up..
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
confirmed lightspeed rom doesnt even show snid on tablet
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
My understanding is that ROM's clear out the SN and SNID in ABOUT so if you have a flashed ROM, just check the SNID on the sticker on the microSD cover against the sticker on the box and confirm if it is the same or not. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Yes it matches.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Keep em coming.
[Acer Iconia A500] tumpy:
yep both of them..
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Thanks guys, I appreciate you taking the time to check - keep them coming.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Does your shoes match your top.Does your fingernails match your bra and panties.

O0pps wrong forum

You can run the stuff in sc2k thread for its magic and get confirmation if anyone is uncertin of there snid.

Ans you are very welcome.

Giggles
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
That is confirmed. I remember awhile back there being a thread about some ROMs clearing the SNID and SN, but when you flash back to a Stock based ROM it comes back.

I can also confirm way back when when I still had the fascination with custom ROMs and custom kernels that mine was cleared until I flashed back as well. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
And when you flash back, the SN/SNID was brought back to the stock matching version, correct?

So even if one does flash a ROM, thereby clearing both the SN & SNID, they are tied to the hardware so technically impossible to clear out permanently. That's my understanding, anyways.

Not that that particular point matters but just for clarification purposes...
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
ESNs in phones were "supposedly" tied to the hardware as well (actually firmware), but we all know now that you can overwrite a phone's ESN as well.

In our case, I have yet to hear of anyone overwriting their SNID/SN permenantly. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] spaz2k7:
Mine do
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Sorry Spaz, I'm outa thanks' but I'll get ya tomorrow when they reset.

Keep them coming folks. Take you a minute to check and post and it'll help me a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
First I want to thanks kjy2010 for being the catalyst for this issue. If it wasn't for the back and forth in the other ICS thread, I never would have showed up at the Acer Support.

I've updated my first post with a link that explains this cluster ****.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Stock 3.1 rooted - numbers agree.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Just finished reading your "Acer Nightmare" post (took awhile to read it all). Clusterf$%k doesn't even begin to describe it lol :eek:

I'll tell you one thing, someone rewrote the SNID on that tab! Only way I can figure that one out, and the only clear choice for the rewrite is Acer. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Yeah but then I'd be giving into the problem and not resolving it. The issue is that they reissued my SNID - regardless of the fact that I have three, it would still be clear to them that the one they sent to Revonate was in the world, somewhere.

There's something else going on here and I can bet Best Buy is going to get to the bottom of it.

And thanks for taking the time to read it - I know its long - if you can pass it on - FB / Twitter, the more people know, the more can check and the more chances there are of finding out if others have the same problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
I wasn't saying that you should send it back to Acer, was merely saying that they did the initial rewrite of your SNID.

There is virtually no need for our tab to have it's SNID rewritten by an individual, like the need for phones to have their ESN rewritten, when the ESN is dirty.

Just saying that if anyone rewrote it, it was most likely Acer. As to the "why", you're going to have to stick with it, and find out ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Right. Agreed.

Acer serialized it and part of my contention is that they did so as a refurb (which was subsequently sent to Best Buy to fill their preorders) and the stickers didn't get affixed. Most likely the one on the SD cover is the original as the one on the box was the one I used to register (and was accepted).
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Knowing your box was sealed when you bought it, that appears the only logical explanation.

I've heard of ppl purchasing a new XBOX from Walmart, swapping out the case (case has the SN on the back), and returning it with the burnt out guts inside the new case (happened alot after the big XBOX ban on SNs). Have also heard of id10ts swapping out the back cover of their tabs and returning them to Walmart in the same fashion, as all Walmart checks is the number on the SDCard cover to make sure it matches the box (friend that works for Walmart told me that, and how they're aware of it at his store at least).

;)
