[HTC Rezound] reverendbill:
GPS Performance

Just to throw this in, I just traded my Droid Charge in on the Rezound, the Rezound GPS locks on INSTANTLY, tried it on 5 different destinations. I was stunned. My Charge and Fascinate took sometimes 10 minutes to lock, and was never instant, ever. I travel frequently, this is a huge plus for me. So is the fact that I got the HTC extended battery for $20 the day I got the phone. Never could find one for the Charge. The RAZR has the worst SAMOLED screen I've ever seen, and is massively uncomfortable. You only have the thin sides to hold onto.
[HTC Rezound] SamsungVibrant:
Great to hear that the GPS performance on Rezound is good! GPS is Vital for me.

By the way, I totally feel your pain on the Fascinate. The Fascinate and the Vibrant are practically the same phone, and man the GPS on that is defective. They seriously should have recalled those phones or given us free replacements to a working unit.
[HTC Rezound] reverendbill:
And yet I bought a Charge after the Fascinate. It's GPS sucked too. Do the GS2s and the GNex have the same **** GPS performance?
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
Had the razr. Had max battery of 5 hours. Traded for rezound and wow.

I'm at 11 hrs and have 30% left.

Watching 1280x720 mkv footage is just unreal. The hd screen shines.

The size just feels much better, although a bit thicker. Data connections don't drop like it did on the razr.

The beats earbuds do sound better than my Sony buds. Playing high fidelity files sound great. Have not tried lossless audio yet.

Overall I do not regret getting the rezound. I highly recommend it.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I had to the RAZR too couldn't stand the battery life/pixelation of the screen. Only thing I miss about the RAZR is the color saturtaion and the materials of the phone.
[HTC Rezound] heleos:
I've been on Verizon for quite a while, had it before a smartphone, jumped ship for iphone 3g on at&t, then jumped back for Droid.

I had 2 phones in mind for my upgrade: Droid Razr and Galaxy Nexus. It wasn't until I started to hear about the Rezound that I took a look at it, then it was 3 phones in mind.

Razr dropped out pretty quick. I liked the idea of the Kevlar, gorilla glass and spill resistance, but the built-in battery killed it for me. Also, the motorola interface isn't the best, and I finally went into a store to hold the Razr, and it felt waaaaay too thin and light (probably because I was coming from an OG droid).

Then I had my heart set on the Nexus, I had wanted one ever since the original. But the more I started reading about it, and about the news associated with it, the less I wanted it. No SDcard, no USB mass storage, no physical buttons, plasticy design (never held one, but read about it), and I saw ICS as much of a hinder as a feature. I have no idea how long its going to take people to port programs from gingerbread to ICS. Maybe they won't need to at all? I'm not sure. But I never took the risk, I picked up a Rezound.

All of my comparison, and my wish-list is coming from my experience with the OG droid.

Pros:

Build quality feels very solid

Screen is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful

Beats makes it sound nice (even if it is just a software equalizer)

The volume and power button are recessed into the case, which I find nice

Sense 3.5 isn't so bad. I used to be for vanilla only, but all I really had to do was replace the launcher with ADW EX and it seems much better now.

I hear the camera is pretty good, but I've yet to use it

Cons:

I really don't like removing the back case. I miss the battery door I had on the droid. I know you don't need to remove it often, but I really feel like I'm going to snap a tab off every time I pry it off.

Notification LED is very weak, very fast, only has 2 colors (I think) and is used for the charging indication.

Not rootable (although I see that S-OFF may have been achieved!)

Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Would I make it again? Ask me once the GN comes out ;)

Hope this helps!
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I have a weird issue with my battery ..my phone will charge up to 100% but as soon as I unplug it...it takes less than 10 minutes for it to go down to 85%. Then it seems that the battery starts working normally after that...my phone is not rooted.

Any ideas or solutions?

Thanks in advance..
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
Anyone ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
If you want help I suggest you provide more information. ie what rom you are running, how long you've had the phone, etc. If it is a brand new phone your battery may just need to be conditioned. Charge it to full, use it to empty, charge to full again and you should be good to go.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I mentioned my phone was not rooted...but hopefully it is just the conditioning...my phone is.New...I just received a system update..hopefully that helps something.
[HTC Amaze 4G] deliriousbb:
Its odd that a new stock phone doesn't run the battery well. in any case, the battery may not be calibrated yet. you can run this program. it will set the calibrate your battery for you. Let your phone drain down to under 15% before you recharge again. And let it fully recharge to 100%, then run it down thru the day to under 15%. After a few cycles like this, the battery will normalize. Then you will get a better idea of the battery life of your phone. :)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drjoeamberd:
hi,

I wanna buy Htc evo view 4g from sprint before thanks giving holidays. I had few questions. I tried to look in the all sub forums as well in the past 4 hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any Honey comb based custom rom for Evo view 4g.

Does the "view" in the rom containg name flyer + view means its for htc evo view 4g.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geebee1932:
I have the View for Sprint and enjoy using it very much. For me it is the best tablet that I have owned (I also have tired an iPad and the original Galaxy tab). I like the 7 inch size in addition to the quality build of the device. Unfortunately there are no HC ROMs available for the device yet (or none that I have found), and yes View/Flyer is the type of device that the ROM is for (you cannot cross flash them). It would seem as thought the View is not the most popular of devices but I enjoy mine all the same. Hope this helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
If you keep access to the original Nook homescreen (stock) then when you longpress on it and click on wallpapers, you can install live wallpapers.

If you enable the live wallpaper from here, you can then see the live wallpaper on your other home replacement such as GoLauncherEX or ADW.

You must change the settings each time from the stock Nook homescreen.

I hope this helps you guys out if you were interested in running live wallpapers on your NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] anlog:
Nice find... I was getting ready to port android live wallpapers over, but this works fine.

***UPDATE***

Multipicture Live Wallpaper works great with this...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
Exactly. Definitely wanted multipicture live.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Nice find, but if I'm not mistaken this will absolutely destroy your battery life -- given the screen size.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] n8w:
The nt supports lwp's anyway. I actually bought one frome the b&n store and the option appeared automatically to accommodate it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
I guess I don't understand how it works.

Do Live Wallpapers still keep consuming battery life when the screen is off?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
On EInk displays any animation destroys battery life. It takes almost no current to maintain a static display.

Active displays like the Nook and Fire I would not expect a lot of difference in the display current draw for animations. The big deal here would be taking the processor out of idle to generate the changing display.

This would certainly be a fruitful area for a test. Love to hear the result!

And this is with the display on. Display off may shut down everything related to the screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
Thank you. I was trying to figure this out. Should have known to look here first.
[Galaxy S II General] Daniels45:
This behavior started last night after activating Monitor power usage in the battery settings section. Deactivating it didnt help. I tried removing battery and that has not worked either. Im down to going back to stock or maybe even reinstalling an earlier Miui backup I have to see if that works first. Any advice would be appeciated, thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] giorgisp:
And what's the problem with the screen turning on when you connect usb? It's normal and it also happens in stock roms.
[Galaxy S II General] alexalas84:
I don't know if it's the same thing, but something similar happened to me too. What i did was just cleaning the micro-usb connector on the bottom of the phone. This never happened to me anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] CarsnGadgets:
you just created a connection between 2 pins in the connector, the same as when you plug in the charger, its normal behaviour, dont worry about it.
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
Go into Application settings (or Development, can't remember where it is on MIUI) and turn off "keep screen awake". It's for developers who don't want the phone to sleep while debugging.
[Galaxy S II General] Daniels45:
Ok I think I finally found what was causing this. It only happens when USB debugging is turned off. When I turn it back on Im able to charge without the phone automatically booting back up. Im not sure if this is a bug. Should it be behaving like this?
[Galaxy S II General] Daniels45:
Verrified that and its turned off. Turning debugging mode off causes my issue though. I find that kinda wierd.
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
USB debugging mode has always been weird on MIUI - on my GS2 it doesn't recognise that the USB cable has been disconnected until you reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Badger2point0:
Thanks for the tip, I've been wondering the same thing myself. This was a pain when I was trying to charge my phone at work with it off. :D Thanks.

PS: I really wish people would properly read the post before answering with the standard "it's normal, don't worry about it" etc. See it far too often.
[Galaxy S II General] Daniels45:
Havnt been able to find a fix so far. What I do is I keep debugging mode off for everyday use and just turn it on when I need to recharge the phone over night. That way the phone stays off.

[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
I'd be happy to look at it. I'm not the most accomplished developer, but I know a bunch of the hackyish stuff that's been done to get parts of miui and cm7 working. And it could definitely be a learning experience.

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Thanks everyone for responding. I hope we can get this booting.
[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
No matter which kernel and file format I use it boot loops at the samsung screen. I've also replaced pretty much every file except the framework and app files. It doesn't boot far enough to get a logcat either.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Have you added from ei22 or cm7?
[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
EI22 and miui. I didn't have time to specifically try cm7 before I had to leave.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
What still bewilders me is why Xboxfanj isn't using the build that another dev released that succesfully boots on the epic.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It doesn't have to be an app (and most likely it's not) which sent it to you. When you check your email on your PC (and I'm sure there are spam messages sometimes), do they usually relate to software installed on your PC? No, most times not at all (if ever).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GvS666:
It wasn't sent to me, it was sent from my gmail account to all my contacts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ell3:
This comes in handy for malware scouting and other stuff: lsof !

That's a neat nix tool to map what program is operating which file/pipe/socket.

example

# lsof -w | grep TCP
dropbear 1676 0 3u IPv6 25400 TCP *:2222 (LISTEN)
dropbear 1683 0 4u IPv6 26210 TCP 192.168.0.242:2222->192.168.0.110:50519 (ESTABLISHED)
dropbear 1728 0 4u IPv6 26574 TCP 192.168.0.242:2222->192.168.0.110:50695 (ESTABLISHED)

^^ my SSHd :p

you could script it to make it silently monitor all your connections and log information for further analisys. (instead of filtering TCP we could use the gmail server address or the port number) See on the left, there is the app name that uses the resource (a socket in this case). This means possibly that the infected app will need to send emails again :(

But we don't want our friends be spammed again, so we'll change our gmail password from another computer or phone we believe it's safe (or just download a linux live system and change from there, if we want to be 99% paranoid)

And of course we won't be updating the password on the phone until we catch the evil app. Eventually, it will try again to connect to gmail and send spam, but access will be denied and you will spot what application is trying to access your mailbox.

Happy hunting !!

Hi all,

I normally try to avoid starting threads like this but I have got absolutely nowhere with all my googling so I thought I'd ask here.

Basically, I am a mac/itunes user who used to use an ipod touch, and I'm also an avid podcast listener. This setup worked great, as the playback position always seamlessly synced between the devices. However, on my Dell Venue Pro, this doesn't happen. (I'm 99% this is not just because I use mac connector to sync, I have read elsewhere that using the zune desktop software also doesn't sync playback position.) When you listen to multiple podcasts at home and on the go every day, this can get extremely frustrating and confusing as you don't know where you are in each podcast!

Is there anything that can be done to get this working in the native app, (I have a virtual machine so I can switch to zune desktop software if necessary) or, failing that, some sort of third party app which syncs with an online service or a third party mac app, so that I can sync my playback positions between my computer and my phone? Thanks so much for any advice you might have :)

All apps will take the caller to voicemail unless you call tmobile and tell them to change it. I had to do it when I used the call blocker app on vibrant before I found the blacklist. After you have tmo change it, if you stop the ring by rejecting the call or if they are on blacklist, it will ring busy. If you let the call "ring out" for lack of a better term, it will take the caller to voicemail. Also, there should be a tab in the blacklist to reject unknown callers.
