I never pay full price for games even if I get the disk. I rent or borrow them. I'm essentially using this service for games that can be beat in a short amount of time. I beat arkham city in about 2 days with some side quests. This service will get better over time.

By the way they offer great offers. During the the week of Thanksgiving they were offering either arkham city, revelations, or saints row 3 for one dollar to "own" on onlive. Also I think you get Lego Batman for free when you sign up :D
[Off-topic] philnolan3d:
So don't pay full price, OnLive constantly has really good sales and giveaways. I have 17 games with them and have paid a total of about $115. Half of them were free, Deus-Ex HR Augmented Ed. was 90 cents and came with the original Deus Ex. The only game I paid full price for was Homefront and that's because it came with their game console for my TV plus Metro 2033.

Hi

I've recently win a viewpad 7 at lottery. Now i'm looking to root it with my macbook pro. Before starting with my pb, jus want to say i'm french, so i'm sorry for my poor english.

So, Android 2.2.2 is installed on my viewpad. USB debugging in on. I've tried to root my device with gingerbreak (1.00, 1.10 and 1.20) with no success. Someone in the forum describe a methode with gingerbreak and reboot in recovery mode but i don't understad it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295401)

So i tried superoneclick method but like i wrote in the subjet, I use Macbookpro.

When i use Windows 7 with Wmware fusion, my viewpad is not detected and SuperOneclick (1.7 because seems to be the best for viewpad 7) block on "waiting for device" then crash...

I try to use SuperOneClick with mono for mac. I've succeed in launching superoneclick using tuto from this forum. But SuperOneClick FAILED after launching rageagainstthecage. Here is the log of SuperOneClick

Do any custom roms fix the android os bug? Also is there some central place where we all can yell loud enough at Samsung to have this and the sound pool game crash bug fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gomenkiyo:
Please be more specific (:

Sent from sYnn's Epic 4g touch~
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Well the android os bug can be done yourself if your phone is rooted. It might not be the rom itself thats the problem. The issue is that when certain apps use things at the system level in battery stats they are attributed to android os instead of that app. Stupid i know but thats just the way it is. For me I actually had some issues in one of my google account calendars that was making my phone constantly sync and go nuts draining the battery. I also ended up removing a few pieces of touchwiz that were attributing to android system. You could always try installing the Deep Sleep Detective(DSD) for tasker its on the forums somewhere if you search for it or you could use tadb to pull the wakelock file and figure out what is making your android os climb up in battery stats. The method is described here:

As for the sound pool problem we will probably end up having to wait for cm9 or ics as the problem hasnt even been fixed on the european version of the phone and has been out a lot longer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
There actually IS a fix for the international version. Well, more of a work-around.

Google for "tegrak 2nd core soundpool" and you'll get an idea of what I mean. The bug is related to the interaction between dual cores and SoundPool; by using the 2nd Core app (which doesn't work on our device atm, before you ask) to turn off the second core before you play one of the crashy games, it won't crash.

Also, you'd have more luck harassing the game devs than Samsung. Tell them to use MediaStream (I think that's what I read) instead of SoundPool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Yea i'm aware of the app. It requires some specific stuff in the kernel though so i never had a chance to try it. But as long as the phone has been out over seas Samsung should have fixed this by now. One of the main reasons I have decided to just stick with nexus phones from here on out. How a major bug like this has been around so long is beyond me...

I have searched for this and cant find anything.

Thanks,
[Android General] joaofranco:
As far as I know you have only one option: using the pin point, usb connection and running some weird (paid) software, like the one fastgsm.com provides.

If you know any other viable solution please contact me... I'm on that quest too...
[Android General] dullah:
Looks good

Hey guys, I too have the WT19i from 3, and it has cost me £15 to get it unlocked from them. Just dial 333 and once you're connected to customer services tell them you need your phone unlocked. It can take up to 2 weeks to get the code from Sony Ericsson unless they already have it on their system. (I had to wait). Hope it helps!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apicia:
Now that I got you in here, I was reading a Yahoo story about how Android operating systems had a hidden app that was stealing keystrokes and other information from end users. One guy called out a company that was behind one of the apps and he was hit with a law suit to shut him up. I have not heard much about it since. How worried are we as end users? Is this behind some developer's motivations? The developers that do this as a hobby, to make donations, or some advertising income should not be smeared by this bad publicity.

I have been using custom ROMs for a while and always appreciated the efforts of devs. Don't know how international law plays into this with devs from all around the world. What are your thoughts on this (end users and devs)?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
There are several apps that now scan for it. Trevor, the one who broke the story, has the app here on XDA and in the market (Logging Checker by TrevE). Supercurio, who made the Voodoo Control app, now has an app that scans for it.

There are already two threads in the General that are covering the topic.

CarrierIQ is in mainly in AOSP roms and most custom rom's don't have it including CM7 and MIUIs. In fact it is mainly HTC, Nokia and not Sammy's. Not sure if it has been detected at all in a Samsung device. Plus it is mainly Sprint phones too.

Just an fyi in case you are freaking out for no reason.

As soon as I've started Google Maps once it keeps running even after I close Google Maps. As a result the LocationManagerService is often chewing up my battery in the background. Only solution is to reboot the phone or force quit with Titanium Backup. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

I'm running:

Google Maps 6.0.1

Phenomenal 1.1 kernel

UltraToxic 8.0.1 Rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I noticed the same after using Navigation soon after updating to KK5. Freezing the NetworkLocation apk (com.google.android.location) resolved it for me, while leaving GPS working correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Freeze it with Titanium,while your at it freeze all Samsung bloatware and no more excessive batter drainage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
Thanks for your reply!

I froze Network Location 1.1.08 with Titanium Backup Pro. However Google Maps still keeps running in the background after closing it. Did I freeze it incorrectly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
Are you logged into Latitude? That manifests itself as Google Maps activity and is a real battery killer.

Might be worth checking - log out and stay out if it is active.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
I wish that was it! I've never used Latitude though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
I assume you probably have checked, but if not, just double check that you definitely aren't logged in. Can't remember now the sequence of events, but in answering a relatively innocent question shortly after getting the phone I inadvertently found myself to be a Latitude user! I had never knowingly opened it or logged in.

Soon as I killed it my battery life improved immeasurably.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghmail2:
downgrade to 5.x solved the problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
Thanks for the tip! I downgraded to 5.8 but it's still not fixed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
OK, if it isn't Latitude, the next most likely culprit would be an app or a widget that is somehow using mapping. A weather widget? Shopping? Anything else that thinks it needs to know where you are right now?

If you have the stomach for it, I have read various threads that talk about removing one widget at a time (and then one app at a time) until the culprit is identified.

Equally you could install a clean ROM and then start installing apps and widgets until you get the issue back.

No precise science, just lots of trial and error...:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
Clear cache from maps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
Thanks! I don't have any widgets running. I've also tried the Simple & Clean v2.4.3 ROM (and various kernels) and it produced the same result. It's just that as soon as I start anything related to google maps it will just keep google maps running until I kill it or reboot.

I wonder if it is a common bug and only few people notice it or if it's a rare bug. Sure eats up that battery though!

I read they'll be releasing ICS beta next week so I'm going to hope that fixes this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
So can you boot the clean ROM, start Google Maps and Google Maps alone, close it down and have it close cleanly? That is to say, no battery drain?

I must admit I fight a little shy of Maps since my Latitude experience but I have used it and I'm not aware of the behaviour you are seeing.

If you run the clean ROM for a while without anything else running I assume all is well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
As soon as I start Google Maps it will run indefinitely in the background. But as long as I don't run anything Google Maps related then there's no problem (it doesn't autostart or anything).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
It's the 'Google Maps related' bit that I'm interested in. What are you counting as Google Maps related?

If you only open Google Maps what happens? Same thing?

What (if any) other apps are causing this to happen? Can you list everything that triggers this behaviour.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
So far I've tested with Google Maps, Latitude and Navigation and they are all affected by the same issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
...and if you don't start any of these you don't get the issue, correct? Just want to eliminate something else logging you onto Maps as Latitude is prone to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xspringe:
Exactly. If I never start any of these there's zero issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
Hmmmn, that is odd then.

I'm not aware of issues with Maps but I'll have a play with it on my own phone and see if I can replicate.

Hello,

i am currently using wolf's v7 b4(i think)..and after some time it became very slow. Specially if i also listen to music it's very very unresponsive.(probably it has a little to do also with the fact that i'm using GO Launcher EX)

I would like to try CM7 as it's the smoothest. FXP047 seems to be perfect except one BIG BUG: Video recording.

i would like a stable/fast CM7 rom. Sometimes i also use video and in this case fxp047 isn't suitable as my daily rom.

so: what it's the fastest most stable CM7 rom with full working camera?

are the other CM7 ROMS much slower/less stable than FXP047?

What are the differences between others CM7 ROMS(ThGo2 for example or maybe ZMOD) and FXP's one. i mean at features/speed/quality of tweaks..

if you suggest MIUI(i don't like the iphone like feel and the lack of app drawer)

Thank you in advance!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonOutlawKing:
I used Spaarc's CM7 mod but got rid of it because of the low battery life. It's very fast and doesn't lag often. The camera worked but I'm not sure about the video recording because I didn't use it. The wifi and tethering didn't work through the phone itself but there are apps that compensated for it. I recommend Spaarc's CM7 but I would like to know if there is another just as good that doesn't have the battery drain like it did.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamPoison:
Hello guys,

I have recently bought my first android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

On the second day I decided to root it since I needed market enabler, as my local market (UAE) has literally no apps.

I rooted using the SDK tools, fastboot and superboot. Everything worked fine for 1 day.

However, the next day, the phone just died on me, and would not boot at all. It kept getting stuck on the "Google" image at startup. At that point, I could still go into the bootloader. I tried locking/unlocking the bootloader again, since that basically wipes all the date on the phone, but it still refused to load, it would get stuck at the startup animation.

After a few more attempts, it kept spam restarting every time I tried to switch it on.

At that point, I was downloading the default OEM ROM so I could reflash that onto the phone. However, I thought I could try using the superboot bat file again, and maybe that would fix the problem. BIG MISTAKE.

As soon as I ran that file, the phone COMPLETELY died. It will not start at ALL, it will not go into Bootloader, not go into Recovery mode, and not even go into Download (odin) mode.

The ONLY possible response you can get from it, is when you plug it into the PC. My PC seems to play that "detection" sound, same sound as when you plug in a USB, but it would just play that sound over and over again, as if im plugging/unplugging a device really quickly. It seems like the phone is continously restarting itself. When I connect the phone to the PC and that disconnect/reconnect sound comes up, I went into my device manager and I could see the following:

An item under "Other Devices" called "OMAP4440" keeps appearing and dissapearing all the time, with the little "!" mark next to it indicating that there is a driver error. The drivers for this phone are fully installed on this same PC, and it use to work fine before it went dead.

Now the problem is since I cant get into any mode whatsoever, its a bit hard to diagnose the phone. I know there is a "recovery" slot at the bottom of the phone that is accessible with a small pin, but I dont for the life of me know how that works or what it does. Does anybody know how to work that or what it actually does?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks fellas.
