Hrumph, two cents

I echo most of what's been said here. Both good and bad. I am on my 4th tablet, second Xoom, in a year.

Acer, Asus, Elocity, Samsung, you name it I've tried it. The Xoom has been the best built, fastest OS updated and best supported from communities like XDA. See here and here for more info.

Think of little nuances that may make a big difference. Acer doesn't have Enterprise (Outlook) mail support. You need to root and download the files manually. The Xoom (and others) do. Some other tablets won't allow you to transfer files via Windows or Linux as a removable drive, the Xoom does. Things like that make owning a Xoom less frustrating.

I also can't say enough about the unmolested (insert Penn State joke here) UI. No other manufacturer overlays make the Android OS work as intended. Very nice.

I've had a WiFi only Xoom and just swapped out for the 4GLTE. I sold my WiFi only Xoom for $300. I bought the 4GLTE for $299 and contract and now I have the flexibility of being connected when not around WiFi without having to hotspot my Droid 2 Global. I think the hardware spec is still relevant and the Xoom plays movies, music and allows me to run Flash and work in Office Suite as well as show pdfs. I can download from Dropbox and browse through file folders without being connected. Lots of flexibility.

So, good battery life, strong WiFi signal, great GPS decent camera, best build quality and most flexible OS/Manufacturer combo. I'd say it's worth it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victoid:
Hi folks,

I'm running MIUI.us 1.12.9 on an Incredible. My average data usage is around ~800mb/month. In December, my usage jumped to nearly 3gb! I installed a traffic monitor, and apparently I'm regularly sucking down ~100mb or more through the process android.media, UID = 10011. The app says this is associated with Download Manager, Downloads, DRM Protected Content Storage, and Media Storage.

I usually update MIUI once a month or so, but I can't associate this symptom with a particular update, since I don't know quite when it started. I've seen only one other thread on this in a Desire forum, and they suspected it has to do with a market update getting blocked. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadzooks64:
My son's phone is having this same issue.

He used >5gb of data last month. It looks like he does some download sized between 65 and 90mb every day several times a day. This usage pattern coincides with rooting his phone and installing the MIUI rom.

I told him to reflash and if that didn't fix it to use a different ROM.

Have you resolved this???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victoid:
Well, I resolved it with a big stick.

Consider this a sort of experiment: First, I made a complete nandroid backup, then I manually uninstalled Download Manager, Downloads, DRM Protected Content Storage using Titanium Backup, after backing up each one. Obviously, the Market won't work anymore, but the data usage is gone! I don't really recommend this solution, but it did "work."

In reality, I went back to a pre-MIUI nandroid backup of CM7.1. Like I said, I suspect this has something to do with a persistent update that MIUI is somehow blocking, but I wasn't patient enough to figure out exactly what was happening.

Your phone might be trying to update OTA. It will be 87mb file in /cache/download when its downloading.

I would check the fingerprint in build.prop to see if its from latest official update.

[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Oh i thought all games supported on screen controls as it is a feature of the app itself and not games
[Vibrant General] philnolan3d:
There are about 30 games that have touch controls, the rest are controller or kb/m. I believe more games will get touch controls in time. The touch controls are specific to each game like specialized button layouts and some games like Split / Second have a slider instead of a button, to mimic pressure sensitivity. That means each game has to be set up and tested individually to find the best layout.

newb posting for dev cred

nothing to see here
[Vibrant General] skyboyextreme:
i guess if they make some generic xbox360 like controls for all games it would save them much hustle and make touch compatible games come out faster , also they should push all the on screen buttons to the edges of the screen cause some games are like having controls all over the screen , kinda annoying , but the idea itself of the whole onlive thingy is great cause it takes mobile gaming to a whole new level provided that a good internet connection is available....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelkahl:
My University contracts students email out to Microsoft. As a result I have a live account that I'm able to configure as an Exchange account. I never had an issue on older Android devices but something is hanging up after authentication.

I believe its after authentication because if I type my password wrong I get a login error. Otherwise it simply states that it can't connect to the server after the connection times out.

Just looking to see if anyone else has a similar issue. Its not a huge deal for me but would be nice to have. I'm going to file a ticket with our help desk. Took some screenshots so they know I'm configuring it all right and see my error messages.

My work email hosted on Exchange 2003 works just fine. The school email consistently times out on 3g, 4g, and wifi.

Considering the official Hotmail app doesn't support the Nexus it may be a compatibility issue that I need to wait out.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] isurusDY:
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I tried searching before creating this topic. I have a total of 3 batteries. Two of the 1650mAH with the near field communication and they both work just fine. So I have purchased the new 2000mAH official Samsung battery.

The issue is that, I plug it in and it works fine - but when I plug it into the wall charger or USB charger from the computer; it will go shut down the phone and goes into an endless loop. It's won't charge or boot up unless I unplugged it.

I done some search and can't find any solid information. Any help or information will be helpful.

Thanks

That battery doesn't have nfc that's why it keeps booting that battery is for the i9001 not the i777

Batteries dont have NFC, as the earlier poster noted, your phone seems to be going through the boot loop and there are other threads on the forum that address this, please search for them.

If you did any searching at all, you would have known to stay on your own device forum, especially when buying an accessory where it comes to a crucial element like powering your device.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] rayman2k1:
i was under the impression that the source code for the tegra 2 kernel, and not the source code for ics itself was the issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TerryMathews:
Thats not entirely correct. ICS changed the way certain interfaces behaved especially HW accelerated graphics. Under Gingerbread, the system expected round peg and the nVidia blob provided round peg.

The problem is now ICS wants square peg. The blob we have only ever provides round peg.

There were three potential solutions to this problem:

1) nVidia releases source code and developers update as needed. This is how development works on the Qualcomm and TI driven devices which are basically fully open. This is also why you see old as dirt devices like the G1 updated far beyond their last "official" ROM.

2) nVidia releases an ICS compatible blob. This is what we can hopefully pull from the Xoom tree. It leaves us dependent on nVidia for "substantial" updates, like when interfaces change but would probably allow for a number of updates. There are Gingerbread ROMs that use Froyo kernels as an example.

3) Developers rewrite the interfaces in question to accept round peg. In the case of HW acceleration, this would mean back-porting the Gingerbread method of HW acceleration. It would work but would be labor intensive to maintain and may introduce instability or comparability issues in apps that specifically expect the ICS method. Think, for example, Swype talking about having to rewrite the keyboard to accomidate the way the screen is presented to programs.

I am not a ROM developer but I have college level programming experience and a pretty decent understanding of the technical issues here.

nVidia was never going to release their source. They have always maintained their source code as confidential and proprietary and as far as I know they've not released source for anything as far back as the Riva TNT.

In other product lines, the reason for this is that they differentiate some features through software. In essence the HW is capable of more and the software locks it away. Back in the day there was a GeForce to Quadro softmod that drastically increased performance in some programs.

I don't really know if thats the case here, nobody does. nVidia only wants you to access what they sell you not what the HW is capable of.

Personally, I hope the blob for the Xoom helps the CM team. I imagine we will know shortly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
That was the most intelligent and courteous explanation I have ever read here on xda. Now watch all the omniscient people strike it down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
Absolutely right. I don't have any hope at all regarding the Xoom blobs though, as they are not the same board type, and thus likely will not be compatible.

This might mean nothing unless lg releases there stuff too. Lg changed some things for this device. I'm not sure but I think lg did something weird to get the tegra 2 to work with the board they designed. nvidia said lg needs to release there changes too for what we are trying to do.

So I have a samsung S2, the usb charger adapter is 5v 1amp.

I also have a HP touchpad, the usb charger adapter is 5.3v 2amp.

is it ok to use the hp touchpad charger for my samsung S2?

I know the higher amp would make it faster to charge my battery, but will the increment voltage, 0.3v going to damage the samsung s2?

second question is about the battery drain

Here's the some pic,

pic 1, at 2:41am, i stop using my phone and go to bed. it drew around 90ma.

on pic 2 and pic 3, at 9am it eventually drew less and less current to around 30ma.

so here the question.

between 2:41am to 9am, anyway to make the phone drew from 90ma to 30ma immediately? or why it take 6 hr to coming down?

I already make sure there is no backup syn on the background.

have setCPU, screen off at 192/192, disable 4g, wifi enable only

using BeastMod 4, synergy kernal.

Thank you for any help.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
I think I read somewhere in the DIncI forum about running ADB through WiFi and doing console commands.

Not sure how it worked out tho.

When I got my first DIncII, The cable was a mother to pull out so I went to VZW corp store and they gave me a new cable.

Have you tried different cables/PCs?

Have you tried ##3424# send? You need a sense based ROM to use that, but it should get you into DIAG mode to use ADB with minimal OS interference.

The port its connected with a ribbon cable so try with back off holding the port in different positions.

Applying slight force in different directions and holding it there.

Maybe poster putty would help to lock it to that position long enough to achieve the ADB.

Good luck.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Baker12203:
im experiencing the same issue, i cannot get my computer to recognize the phone after trying multiple cables. wireless abd seems to require root access to get it working and i have already restored to unrooted 2.2. how thorough does verizon check phones they receive back? will they notice an unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ooofest:
Not sure if Verizon will have the phone long enough to care - do they check returned phones or just forward them to HTC for the standard refurbishing process?

The USB/charging port just went in our 6-month old Incredible 2, and it's only now that I've found threads at Verizon's website of many others complaining about this model having a chronic issue with this portion of its hardware. So, I guess we'll have to expect more refurbished replacements until the two-year contract is due. Disappointing, especially in light of how well it operates when the port is working as expected.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:

Hello,

I've installed ICS now without any problems, but after installing the data2sd script and then rebooting my phone gets stuck in the boot animation. Even though it's very beautifull eyecandy it really isn't doing much for me. ;)

I did a full wipe! Clear data/factory reset, Clear dalvick cash, etc. Also Task 29 and used HD2 toolkit to create 250MB system partiton with 5MB cache

First I formatted my SD card (8GB class 10) with MiniTool Partition Wizard 7 completely as FAT32 then I partitioned it (with CWM recovery 4.0.0.0) to 2048MB EXT3 with 256MB Swap, formatted that partition again in MiniTool to EXT3

Then I flashed the ROM (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich Beta6) to my device without any problem. Booted ICS, rebooted into recovery and flashed Data2SD installer wich didn't give any errors either.

Booted again and now it's stuck in bootscreen, I've waited for at least 45 to 60 minutes before removing the battery and try everything again all over, but with an EXT4 partition just like Yank555 did.

I followed the instructions from this post without flashing APP2SD Killer first since that causes the market to 'hang on app install'

I know there are people how got it to work so it must be something I did wrong! Can anyone give me some good advice?

BTW FYI, I did previously use TyphooN Gingerbread 2.3.3 CM7 A2SD with 1GB EXT partition without any problems...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yank555:
Hi,

For me it seems you're doing it right...

Your ext4 partition IS a primary partition ? I suppose yes, since CWM will do it that way when you use it to partition your SD card.

Just to be sure, you did reformat the ext3 partion to ext3, or the swap ? I don't know how DATA2SD will react to finding 2 "sd-ext" partitons (more than one ext2/3/4 partiton), never tried that before... If you don't intend to use any swap, you'd rather leave that one out in CWM (choose 0Mb)...

JP.

PS: If you want to use swap (hard swap on a swap partition) I can explain to you how to do that. If you want to do it using a swapfile (once DATA2SD is up & running, you can have a look here).
