Hi guys,

in order to not flood the forum with quick question threads, I thought we might need a thread like this.

If someone has a simple question, he posts it here, gets a quick answer and that's it!

So, I'll start with a little question:

Can the ICS file-system handle files >4GB on internal storage? That'd be nice for movie playback via MHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Let's play a game, answer a question with another question. If you don't, you lose. Mmkay? :p

To answer your question OP, is rice white?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
Hi,

I remember when I had a Galaxy SII I was able to get the Push email, because it had some kind of "Plus account" or "Premium account" that allowed you to get Push email for hotmail and yahoo. I could verify this as it had the "get email as it comes in" option.

On the Note, I can only get it to check email and pre-dtermined intervals like 30 minutes, 1 hour.

Isn't there an auto push option/Plus account with the note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] VTEChump:
Use m.hotmail.com for the Exchange server, and you should've able to push.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Official Hotmail application, with push mail support

https://market.android.com/details?...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3RtYWlsLlo3Il0.

With your S2 , you may have used social hub, which was samsung coloboration with SEVEN mail, which was supporting hotmail, if you want same like that, you can find seven mail application. i was early using that for my yahoo in nokia.

Edit : link for seven
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] getmouse:
I just used the app hotmail
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
Where did you get that APK? It seems the app isn't mention on the Seven site or can't find it on the Android market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue13x:
Thanks everyone, the Hotmail app seems to works really great and is true Push email.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] padlad:
Many thanks for this, that is one app I was missing from the S2!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I was using earlier for yahoo. and was in my collection. yes it was removed from market quite long ago.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lipsin:
It is somehow doing a lot of wakelocks on GNote. Drain quite some battery. I have uninstalled it and use Microsoft Exchange setting pointing to m.hotmail.com as the server.
[Nook Color General] orizzle:
Having a major issue here with my NC. Running CM 7.1 and I'm getting random hangups during normal use. The touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive, and I can't turn the display on or off. If I'm listening to music, however, the music continues to play. The only way to fix it is to reboot the NC. Has anyone heard of this and can offer me a fix?

Thanks in advance

Is it an SD card install? If so what is the brand of your card.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] boomn:
Yes, I had the exact same problem with a new install on emmc, and uninstalling Beautiful Widgets on the advice of another thread I found here completely solved the problem. I had forgotten that BW did the same thing to my Incredible when I tried it a long time ago. If you don't have BW installed then take this as a warning not too
[Nook Color General] MS3FGX:
Very interesting...

I've had the exact same problem myself for awhile now, and couldn't figure out the cause. I even wiped the Nook and reflashed CM7.1, but the problem still popped up once and awhile.

I'm also using Beautiful Widgets. I think we have a pattern developing here. Can the OP confirm/deny he has BW installed?
[Nook Color General] zires:
Beautiful Widgets messed me up too...hung the hell out of my nook color. They even know of the issue and did nothing about it. Got it on Amazon as a paid app.

UpdAte ota if you have locked bootloader.

If not flash it with flash tool.

[HTC Sensation] anotherdroid:
anyone here use a euro Sensation in the US? what carrier are you using and do you get 3G?

thank you in advance!
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
The US and EU are the same so you shouldn't have any issues and it will run at 4G.

And btw, Welcome to USA :D
[HTC Sensation] eviLutions:
If it uses the same bands as the US version it should work for T-Mobile and Simple Mobile(prepaid mvno that uses t-mobiles tower).

Both gets 4G where its available.
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
yup tmobile sells z710e and from your signature i can tell yours is z710e so there you have it!
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Europe has GSM band. Don't think they use that in USA. But I heard att and T-Mobile should work though.

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

Send via the XDA app
[HTC Sensation] darkblak:
I took my EU Sensation to Florida in Septemeber - bought a tmobile SIM and had it up and running within a few hours. The initial problem that I had was that my phone was registered with tmobile in the UK - so the tmobile apps didn't work in the US with the help of tech support they registered the phone with themselves and I was able to use the tmobile apps including the $1.34 for internet per day which you have to activate daily.

Of course, now that I'm back in the UK - my tmobile apps don't work here :-) but I don't need them here.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I believe that T-Mobile US is the same as Euro based phones, i.e. uses the same bands, 900Mhz, and AWS. Bell Canada and AT&T US use 850MHz which isn't compatible. They're both GSM for Voice, the data frequencies are different though.

Please correct if I've got that wrong. I know I looked up some of this and it all got scary.

There are various posts on the subject.

I found this so you can plug the county in and see what's compatibile.

(850MHz) http://www.gsmnation.com/htc-sensation-z710a-3g-850-1900-mhz.html

(900MHz) http://www.gsmnation.com/htc-sensation.html

EDIT: Why is life so complicated ? I thought we had it simple now, guess again. At least Pan Europe there is one standard (or so I believe).

Have fun.
[HTC Sensation] anotherdroid:
thanks for all your input guys! i guess T-Mo is the way to go. my wife said that when she was back in the US (Hawaii and NY), she was not getting 3G on T-Mo while she was there.

could that just be that we don't have a 3G plan?

has anyone tried voodoo on this phone yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
There is no support for voodoo sound in the kernel, yet ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman777:
Does anyone know if this has the same Wolfson sound chip in it as the Nexus S, so the voodoo sound quality will equal the Nexus S?

Its a TI DAC , not Wolfson.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aware_of_vacuity:
even though it's not wolfson, the ti dac in the galaxy nexus is also supposed to be quite good. though personally i'm more interested in voodoo colour :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] AIR-WIZZ:
I love my kindle for Android! Being able to make notes and highlight is awesome. I read in the dark with the fonts white and the backgroud darkend...my wife is not disturbed in bed anymore with reading lights. Lately, the weather has chilled a bit here in SoFla so I like reading on the pool patio in the dark. Thanks to calibre, I can take all my .pdf books and convert them to .mobi...but...

My problem is:

I read from two devices (for example: Dell Sreak 5 and Toshiba Thrive and work with .mobi files on the laptop. So I've got two Androids and a pc that I switch back and forth. The laptop is NOT very important because I doen't read w/ it. Just proof files w/ it. As you are likely aware, I cannot sync my notes, etc accross the devices.

I see two problems. I want my Kindle for Android app to refer to a cloud (like dropbox) for books.

...and I want it to store the notes, highlights, etc there too. Or at least sync them to the cloud location.

I figured out how to get the app to sync with the cloud in a rudimentary way. I used foldersync from the market to sync the ../kindle on my local to the ../kindle in my dropbox. This does not have an effect on notes, etc. They do note sync.

From what I know, the Kindle app writes these notes and marks to a text file on the device. I believe that syncing this file to the cloud wont work because it will simple overwrite the older file. It cannot update the actual file contents so I think I require that the Kindle app write notes directly to the cloud. Now I understand this would require I have an internet connection at all times for this to work. I can live with that unless someone can come up with a better idea.

I do not want to break any forum rules so how do I go about getting this done? I am, of course refering to hiring a Kindle Geek to possibly modify the Kindle app for my purposes.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sgood1971:
I am not sure if it does notes, but if you use Amazon Calibre plugin to add the amazon id (ASIN) to your .mobi files. I know that furthest page read and bookmarks sync across all of your devices/apps.

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for but it may still be helpful.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AIR-WIZZ:
Could you elaborate on this? Point me towards a 'How to...' Section somewhere. Im interested.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
This belongs under questions, not development.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sgood1971:
Just update metadata after installing amazon plugin. I'm mobile right now+ will try to find a howto when I get home.

Essentially it finds amazon asin and sets book type to ebok
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AIR-WIZZ:
My apologies if I posted improperly. Since I directed my request to the developers, I figured it belonged here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AIR-WIZZ:
Lemmee 'splain were i'm at right now. I stumbled on repligo for .pdf's and wow! It does more than I wanted on the android platform. It integrates with dropbox so the master is easily kept on the dropbox folder and annotations are all kept within the .pdf itself.

My only complaint is there is no dictionary feature for words within the doc and saving is not automatic. You have to push the save periodically or when your done. I had to get used to dropbox cuz it was saving on the cache folder on my sd and changes did not migrate. You must make sure you are working from the cloud version and not your cached version, although I believe that is easily fixed if that did happen.

This option is ok for me, however, I am looking for a more simple scenario. I do not want to set my wife up with this because she doesnt get into the details that much. She just wants a kindle experience with annotations on both of her devices for ebooks that are not on amazon server.

For the moment though, this repligo app has rich features that make this experience wonderful. For me!

heres the skinny:

if you dont have time to read, comprehend, and understand what you are doing to your phone, you dont need to do anything to it.

if you want to get pissy because you didnt understand the difference between a firmware version and a rom, then fine. this website is not here to 'make your phone cool'

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I'm hoping that the dev for UnNamed will incorporate a newer 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 base for their roms soon for further development. Maybe they're waiting for ICS like most other Devs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
The ROM Dev has to recreate the ROM on that base. Currently UnNamed is based off 2.3.4 and the dev will have to redo all his mods he incorporated in the 2.3.4 base into the new 2.3.6 base or other..... which he decides if at all. So basically you are at the mercy of the rom dev.

Don't worry about pirateghost..... he's been here a while and has too many questions like these.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
gtg's policy is just like mine - Unless there is a MAJOR reason to rebase on a leak, we don't do it. Leaks are a major hassle for ROM developers (and kernel devs) unless the leak offers a major feature. UXKG3 (Rogers Gingerbread) for the Infuse was such a ****ty release it actually did make sense to pull stuff from the AT&T leaks, however, completely rebasing onto them caused tons of problems for gtg (broken GPS, broken modems, wonky data, etc.) when he tried to pull in too much. In the end all he did was pull the camera libs (the only significant improvement).

So you'll see UnNamed move to 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 when an official AT&T update comes out based on it, or a MAJOR feature shows up (and even then, it's more likely to just get backported like the camera libs on Infuse.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmtrago:

I would love to have the scroll-bounce back without going back to stock Android 2.3.4

Anyone with luck flashing a Milestone X w/ a custom ROM?

Running Rooted 2.3.5 w/bloatware removed (but backed up) along w/ DROID X Bootstrapper.

Have made my first full system backup using this tool.

If complete ROMS could not be used, what components would I need to modify, replace, ... exchange to get it to work on C-Spire (say, Verizon).

I've heard that there are some ROMS that don't mess with the baseband and other communications settings, files, frequencies, protocol, etc... What are these type called if they exist? Where can I find them? Are these a safer alternative to full ROMS?

Will DX Bootstrapper get the job done? Reports ClockworkMod REcovery v2.5.0.6.
[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
I would recommend staying off custom roms for the Milestone X until a working sbf for us makes an appearance. Myself and ngholson both had issues where we got stuck in a bootloop and the sbf just output more errors until a replacement device was needed.
[Droid X General] ngholson:
agreed. [10chars...............
[Droid X General] ngholson:
another thing to consider, since we cannot sbf at this time, is that the bootstrapper will break your ability to install any future ota updates. it modifies the logwrapper and makes a copy called logwrapper.bin, however, uninstalling the bootstrapper and restoring the logwrapper file does not correct the problem. best i can tell the only answer that i can find when this happens is to sbf back to stock... well you see where this is going.... currently we cannot do this, so unless you never want the ota upgrades i do not recommend installing the bootstrapper on cspire's milestone x.

oh well nevermind went back and re-read your post, you already have the bootstrapper installed. (at least you did it after ota)
[Droid X General] ngholson:
here is a link to the post that has the sbf that is reported to work with cell south (cspire) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117885

maybe someone else can try it again and report back.
[Droid X General] rxrebel:
I can confirm that the old sbf it does not work after ota update. I had to get a new phone. I have rooted, but I am not installing a bootstrapper until a working sbf is available. Hopefully that will happen soon.
[Droid X General] Brickster:
I am on C spire out of Byram, MS and can in fact confirm that "Droid X Bootstrapper" from the market indeed works like a charm on the Milestone X with stock versions 2.2.2 and 2.3.5.

I use "Super One Click" to root, then the same prog to "Allow non market apps" then buy "Droid X Bootstrapper" from market, run it. Reboot while holding camera button and power button,,,,voila

Confirmed roms that I have and currently run or ran: CM 7 nightlies, Liberty 1.5, and Fission 2.5.7 DroidX

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

A little trick I figured out to sbf back to stock,,,,download the latest ota from Cspire "Blur_Version.3.2.6.MB809.ACG-CellSouth.en.US" blah blah,,,,,rename it to "update.zip",,,,not "update.zip.zip"put it on the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery or clockwork mod and run update.......BLAM! Simple as that...
[Droid X General] ngholson:
i tried that too it didn't work for me.
[Droid X General] Brickster:
I dunno,,,, it worked for me twice. I tried to update cwm from the app using the flash for droid x and it messed up my recovery. So i updated to the latest ota from Cspire via the stock android recovery by naming the ota file to update.zip and running it like that.

I'm running CM7 nightlies for the droid x on the Milestone x....you might have to remove the line of code in the update file that asked for Kernel assert,,,,I can't remember, but seems like it kept giving me an error that says, "assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") but after that all was fine.
[Droid X General] tylorjefcoat:
is there a reason that your not using the new liberty rom and used 1.5?
[Droid X General] Brickster:
Nah, it's a cool rom .....I'm just a flash whore. I like cm7 nightlies the best though.
[Droid X General] tylorjefcoat:
what has been the best in your opinion? i just upgraded from the hero and was running aosp and loved it.

i actually like some of the blur apps, hard to believe that i like a custom ui on android lol.

i have been reading on the droid x vs milestone x and i am weary of flashing update that also includes the radio/baseband.

what version of cm7 nightfiles are you on? any complaints?
[Droid X General] thenig:
I am getting the exact same error. Where do I need to go to eliminate this line of code. I have setup everything else up until this point and it works perfectly with recovery and everything. A bit of help please.
[Droid X General] Brickster:
Open the ROM zip and go: META-INF/com/google/android/ and in the updater-script, remove the code that asked for Kernel assert.
[Droid X General] Brickster:
I too just upgraded from the Hero....and I still love that phone! My hero has had every rom known on it,,,and some that weren't even made for it....It's unbrickable! LOL

Yea, the Milestone is a little more finicky than the Hero, and with Motorola's locked bootloaders, one could get in a fix..

I've ran the past 3 nightlies and currently on cm_shadow_full-154.zip.

I tell ya, they all have some kind of bug somewhere. It all depends on what you want to put up with. Me, personally, I like the stock ota 2.3.5 from Cspire. It works. Plain and simple. Now, I would like some of the CM7 options and spare parts.
[Droid X General] thenig:
Open the updater-script with notepad (new to this) and found no mention of kernel assert. Almost there...a bit more help would get me in.
