[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
IOS and Android difference when loading web page.

"This is a not an abstract or academic difference. You can see it for yourself. Grab your closest iPad or iPhone and open Safari. Start loading a complex web page like Facebook. Half way through loading, put your finger on the screen and move it around. All rendering instantly stops. The website will literally never load until you remove your finger. This is because the UI thread is intercepting all events and rendering the UI at real-time priority.

If you repeat this exercise on Android, you’ll notice that the browser will attempt to both animate the page and render the HTML, and do an ‘ok’ job at both. On Android, this a case where an efficient dual core processor really helps, which is why the Galaxy S II is famous for its smoothness.

On iOS when an app is installing from the app store and you put your finger on the screen, the installation instantly pauses until all rendering is finished. Android tries to do both at the same priority, so the frame rate suffers. Once you notice this happening, you’ll see it everywhere on an Android phone. Why is scrolling in the Movies app slow? Because movie cover thumbnails are dynamically added to the movie list as you scroll down, while on iOS they are lazily added after all scrolling stops."

[Motorola Droid RAZR] FAUguy:
I used the Root procedure, and it worked fine. Installed Superuser and Busybox, still ok. Then installed the RazrBootstrap.apk. After I powered the phone down and back on, its now caught in an endless loop showing the boot animation. I've tried powering it off, but can't (thanks to no battery removal). I was able to get into a recovery screen by pressing both volume keys and power key together, and tried to restart, but then keeps looping again.

I went back into the recovery menu and tried the factory rest. All it showed was formatting /data and /cache. It didn't look like it did a full reset. Now when I start the phone, it still boot loops, but only gets about 5 seconds into the animation and reboots.

I do have a 2nd working RAZR here if that helps.

I've been told it might be possible to do a Nandroid/CWM backup image of the good RAZR and use it to flash the broken one, but I've never done that procedure before.

Please help, if anyone knows what to do.

I'm thinking it was the RazrBootstrap that caused the problem, as it was working fine after being Rooted and having SuperUser and BusyBox installed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wrdcndn:
Do the nandroid backup on the good phone, then use recovery to push the files from the good razr to the bad one, then do a restore of your good nandroid backup. That should do the trick
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FAUguy:
I was told something similar by someone else, but have never done a Nandroid backup and restore. I don't want to mess things up without some type of step-by-step guide.

Someone else said it might not work as the Razrs files have to be "Motorola signed" in order to work.

Too bad there's not an XML restore file for the Razr that can be pushed using RSD.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobalized:
Funny because I ran into a similar situation with mine in the fact it went into boot loop after the phone had been working fine rooted, I installed TiBu and restarted and phone started looping.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunshine1982:
I'm just curious, which rom or roms out there have wifi tethering enabled in them that will allow you to tether an ipad or android tablet?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
There are quite a few (if not all) of them that do this.

Be aware, though - if you do this without a tethering plan, AT&T is likely to catch on and change your plan to a tethering plan.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunshine1982:
this is true, but if you have the unlimited data plan, then you rly don't need to wry until you start getting upwards of 4-5gigs, also you can edit your apn so that it doesn't show on their end that you are tethering.

mainly my friend/boss is wanting to be able to use his captivate to tether his ipad 2 while at work to do work reports and such.

i was just curious if there was any particular rom that functioned better than others as far as battery life and stability.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknipp:
OK, I have a Gtab with the 11/15 FB build.

I am curious about the partitions. Really, why ? I have worked in Unix for a bunch of years and am a fan of few, large partitions. So why am I choosing 2048 ? Or the max if 4096 ?

If it were a Sun box (which is what i cut my teeth on) I would make the main card (disk) a 12 GB root partition and 4 GB swap.

Do the same rules not apply ? It looks like there are a few different partitions (/system, /data, etc) but my eyes cannot read the terminal emulator all that well. :-)

Andy
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Different beasts

This may not be 100% correct (& if it's not I'm sure someone will correct me).

Really no comparison between a Sun box & a tablet. Sun would be bigger & better hardware.

The tablet only has a 512M nand chip (that holds most of the os), 512M of ram (to run the os, apps & no dedicated graphics memory), a processor that is designed for low power vs performace & and a emmc...basically a thumb drive( in place of an hdd). On top of that Andoid is really a hydrid os (a linux kernel with a java vm to run apps).

As far as partitions go, here is the structure for the nand chip on MOST of the gTabs:

Partition 2 = BCT = boot Config Table

Partition 3 = PT = Partition Table (this list)

Partition 4 = EBT = Bootloader

Partition 5 = MBT = ?

Partition 6 = BLO = Viewsonic Bird Logo

Partition 7 = MSC = ? inandop.log /possibly inter kernel comm tween part9/10

Partition 8 = OGO = logodata (gTablet logo I believe)

Partition 9 = SOS = recovery kernel

Partition 10 = LNX = kernel

Partition 11 = APP = system(rom)

Partition 12 = CAC = cache

If you look at gtablet.cfg file in any of the nvflash packages you will see these partition definitions, fs types & sizes used by nvflash to create them.

You also have 2 additional partitions on the the 16GB internal sd (emmc):

/data - user apps & settings - only accessible via root access

/sdcard = user & app storage

Don't know why exactly why /data is set @ 2 G . Apps in Android don't have the bloat of desktop/PC apps and are considerably smaller. I can tell you that with 83 apps installed I still have nearly 1G of space left on mine out of the 2G.

For the most part, Android doesn't truly multitask apps like on a desktop. From what I understand, Android has it's own mechanism for freeing memory when needed (swapping). When space is needed, non running apps are terminated but the app is responsible for storing persistent data so that it can be reactivated (assuming the app saves persistent data) when called.

Hope this helps.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknipp:
Cool, thanks, I boosted it up to 4 GB, does not sound like that will hurt (had to reinstall because it was full- could not tell why)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
As to what the various partitions are, I can elaborate a bit more on Al's post above. Try these 2 posts:

SD card partitions

NAND Flash partitions

The Android OS has its distributions (ROMs) divided into those partitions described above for pragmatic reasons which are not hard to figure out--mainly to enable easy upgrades of running distributions; with security being a secondary concern.

There is no reason why you couldn't merge some partitions together. For example, GtabComb-b3.3 merges /cache into /data at system bootup time. If you were willing to lose the protected read-only status of /system, that too could be merged with /cache+/data on the SD card by modifying the init rc files. You could muck around with the system at an even lower level since you have access to the source code. It's really up to you how far you want to go. The kernel doesn't care about the no. of partitions or the filesystems on them, or even where they are.

As for your question about the 2GB size of /data, that's just how VS deemed it to be when they released the gTab and that's the size that's followed by most custom ROMs. You can have a smaller or larger size if you want. I, for example, run 2 different ROMs--VEGAn-Tab 7.1 and GtabComb-b3.3--the former on the internal SD card and the latter on a micro SD card just by loading a different boot partition using CWM. And since my micro SD is just 2GB in size, I've shrunk my /data to 256 MB.

None of the currently used kernels swap; and neither does Android. That's why they kill apps when there is no memory.

[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
P970 are GSM, and Marquee's are CDMA. It's definitely different radio.. And I don't see any custom ROM of Marquee's yet.. So I doubt that P970 ROM will work flawlessly with Marquee... Perhaps you should waiting the developers to work with Marquee's :)

I just called asurion because of a cracked screen and they sent my replacement g2x out for me . I paid the $130, but should i worry about my phone being rooted?

Also, i book marked the page i used to root on a work computer that is no longer in my possession, i know i used NVflasher to root, but i am aware that just putting the stock recovery back on does not unroot the phone, anyone have a link that might help?

thanks!

No, you shouldn't worry. Just flash the stock ROM and you're good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
actually, going through assurion with the $130 deductible, it doesn't matter what shape you send the phone back in. You can send it in 5000 pieces in a ziplock bag and that's okay. You're good to go.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
So I just ordered my nexus from expansys, in wondering what insurance people have bought if any, in case of loss or damage...what are some good ones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
I'm wondering the same thing. I've seen people mention a company called "Squaretrade," but I don't know if they offer warranties for phones imported from another country into the U.S. I've been meaning to contact them about it but haven't had the chance yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I've heard cell phones can fall under personal property in a home insurance policy.

If you own a home I would check with your insurance company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rokfor2000:
I have a little bit different question about insurance.

If I bricked my phone while flashing custom rom would I be able claim (accidental damage?)? I'm in UK, does anyone have any experience whith this type of claims? If yes, who was the insurance with?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Tmobile asurion insurance covers any phone you are using on the network. Just like the nexus one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
I use CUSC now for £5 a month, I can't comment on their service as I've never had to claim - there is a £50 excess fee for each claim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does Assurion replace your phone with another phone if something happens to yours? I'd much rather have insurance that gives me the value of the phone in money so I could get another Galaxy Nexus rather than some other phone if need be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
My 1 experience with T-mo/Asurion was with my G2 having a screen issue, they replace it with the same device unless there are no more devices left (the phone is really old or way past EOL).

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Not like it really matters. If you're going to take the high deductible of claiming accidental damage (much more expensive than lost/stolen), they will replace it. If they say they don't replace it from software things you did to it (for some reason...), you could just hit it with a hammer lol. Accidental damage is accidental damage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
If you are in the US I recommend SquareTrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Thats not accidental if you it on purpose.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
NO!

That's not accidental damage!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Doesn't matter. User-caused damage is always a higher deductible than lost/stolen phone. "Accidental" is going to be anything you cause yourself that warrants a repair or exchange. They don't make a distinction between "accidental" and "purposeful" damage. You're paying for the coverage it doesn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wasya152:
does square trade cover loss or theft
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flippy125:
Not on purpose if they can't prove it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rokfor2000:
Where did "on purpose" come from? When I flash a new rom it is not my intention to damage the phone, I want to upgrade it. It is like saying that dropping a phone by accident == playing football with it because you didn't have a ball around. If you don't intend to damage it is not on purpose, it's by accident.

My previous cover had £30 pounds excess no matter what happenes. My wife drowned her iPhone in lip gloss and it stopped working, they replaced it for £30 punds (the same cover). Since then they have changed the excess amounts to £100 for iPhones and £50 for everything else.

I am just curious if bricked the phone would it be treated the same as the one damaged by lip gloss? I can lose £50, but £500 is a bit too much.

Thinking about that I gues telling them I was flashing official google update (after such is released) should do the trick.

Interesting idea, I haven't thought about that :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
No they don't. It seems they only cover damage to the phone. So if your phone is lost or stolen and you have square trade, you're screwed. This automatically disqualifies them for me.

For the person who recommended Asurion, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. If you file a claim on the Galaxy Nexus, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A GALAXY NEXUS. You will instead receive a phone they consider to be "comparable". Since you were talking about T-Mobile, I'd imagine they'd either send you an Amaze or a Galaxy S2, either of which I'd personally be upset about receiving. Especially considering the fact that even if you sold the phone they sent you, it still wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of a getting a new Galaxy Nexus. So you'd wind up paying a deductible of $130, then having to sell the phone they send you, then having to come out the pocket some more just to get the phone you already had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paugren:
I just had a T-mobile USA agent tell me otherwise. I HAD insurance for my Nexus One through them and removed the insurance 1 month ago. Now they will not (or can not) insure my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Sucks.

I'm looking for alternatives... or maybe I'll try calling TMO again tomorrow and talk to another agent.

So I just finished partitioning my SD card, upgraded ext 2 to ext 3, reflashed the latest Fresh rom, and then tried downloading and installing some apps.

Does DT app2sd not work automatically?

Looks like this is the answer:

a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)

a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)

a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

Where do I type this in? And how do I verify I have DT installed?
