I've been using this tablet for about 3 weeks now and it is amazing, you just need to do a few tweaks and it is well worth your money, might not be as "perfect" as other tablets but it is spectacular for under 300€
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverendbill:
I do like a lot about it, for the day I had it. Seems as fast as my A100, but I had to send it back due to 2 stuck on pixels. Hope the new one doesn't have bad pixels. I want more storage and battery life than the Acer, the Archos should hopefully do that.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siscopiso:
I have the option of getting a 10.1 3g version and looking around the forum it seems most roms are cooked for non 3g devices.I dont plan to get a new data plan so dont need the 3g basically. so here is my Q:

will flashing a non 3G rom only disable the 3G capabilites (yet wifi works) or will it not function at all (the whole device)?!

I appreciate any help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
If you read the dev forums, you'd see that yes, in fact, wifi ROMs disable 3g but otherwise work on 3g devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moviecouple:
Just got my Nook Tablet today and wanted Root and Sideload. I wanted to make sure that it doesn't auto update to screw things up before I had a chance to do this all and wanted to load Fotakill.apk first before starting. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know where to get it and is it smart to load that app first or is this not even possible until you root/sideload?

I was going to use Indirects method to do this but am afraid it will auto update before I have a chance.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I believe that since it goes in /system/apps you can't install it until you are rooted.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Fotakill.apk is part of indirect's rooting method. It's included with gapps.

My question to you is how will your NT auto update if you have wifi turned off? Wifi is off when you root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pashmal:
Hello everybody, I'm pretty new to ROMs and flashing. I have a question just to make sure I'm not gonna break my phone.

My phone (a DHD obviously) is locked on 3 UK mobile network. I've read somewhere that HTC rom's are different from other phones. I just wonder if I can have a totally different rom on my phone (and unlocked) as current one is modified by 3 and it's very slow comparing to my previous DHD I had.

Hope I'm not gonna break this lovely phone :)

EDIT: alright I meant boot loader (found it on GSM arena's weblog). But I donno what a booloader is :(

Any suggestion where I should start learning on this forum ?

[Nexus S General] xd4d3v:
Hi all

I installed ICS a couple of days ago and realised now my usb file transfer to phone storage is extremely slow! it's around 1 to 2 MB/s

Any idea why?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
No clue why. they pulled ota maybe when released again it will be fixed.or a dev will fix

In mean time I use cwr mount SD to transfer 1gb and up files since it allot faster..transferring normal files its fine
[Nexus S General] xd4d3v:
OK, so if I understand correctly.

you're also having this problem, and you are mounting USB with CWM Recovery to copy files as a workaround?
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
Can't vouch for him, but that's what many people are doing as a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed, yes.

It might have something to do with the fact that ICS uses a different kind of file transfer protocol for non-removable storage..
[Nexus S General] a3Dman:
I use AirDroid :)
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
yea i have problem. pretty sure everyone does...its an IC problem

I only use cwr for large files like HD movies or anything like 1gb and up . everything else i just do threw IC

I avr like 1.25mb from IC and from cwr i get like 5mb
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Yep, can confirm slow USB speeds. A reason more why I wen't back to GB.
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
Same here, AirDroid is amazing!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dashrink:
Hello boys and gals of the xda.

I got a lil' tired of using system tuner pro for UV purposes.

If youre looking for a quick way to undervolt your device to get the most out of your battery, then read on! With this mod you can undervolt the Evo3D and the configuration will stick after reboot!

Atm im using lees v4 rom, anthrax kernel and virtuous oc deamon.

I wanted to do some undervolting, so i made a script that does the work.

My setup is like this:

Awake gov: interactive, min 192000, max 1188000

Sleep gov: conservative, min 192000, max 560000

Tested my values & its pretty stable for me.

Feel free to alter this file, but be careful. Dont blame me if you get bootloops or sumthin!

Im not responsible for your actions ;)

Put this file in the system/etc/init.d folder & reboot

Voila. You have undervolted!

All credits go to Tyween for the original script for the Leo aka HD2!

If you like it, hit the thanx button a couple of times :-P

If you want to check if you have succeded, then navigate to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels and check :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Thanks but, once you have done changes on your vdd's you can simply tell system tuner to force the changes via init.d script. Remove Systemtuner afterwards and its just fine. Edit the init.d script when ever you like =)
[HTC EVO 3D] heema88:
it's no good for me, using Prime XL + anthrax kernel1215 and it just slows the phone waaaaaay down =( however thankyou for the tweak champ

=D
[HTC EVO 3D] dashrink:
I did not know this :-s

Well the people without system tuner pro can use it now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Free users can also use that feature :P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
My View's WIFI radio doesn't seem to be as strong as my GTab 10.1. I can put them side by side and using an app called WIFI Analyzer, the signal looks significantly stronger on the GTab. Upgraded the View to HC and it's pretty much the same.

Anyone else experience anything like this? Does the View just have a weak radio? Or is mine perhaps defective? And thoughts or advice is appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rushless:
My wifi is upstairs and picks up good in the basement with my View and Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
Bit more info...I'm sitting on the same floor as my wireless router, 2 rooms away. Neither of our laptops (in this same room) have any trouble picking up the wireless signal. On WIFI Analyzer, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is consistently registering a signal strength anywhere from -70 dBm to -60 dBm...it does not lose connection.

My EVO View fluctuates anywhere from no signal to -80 dBm. My phone (a Samsung Galaxy S) is registering closer to the View than the Galaxy Tab.

If I take the View into the same room as the wireless router, it picks up a strong, solid connection and doesn't drop it.

I don't think its my wireless router...the View and GTab do the same thing at work...the signal is significantly stronger on my GTab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rushless:
Not noticed this on either device, but did with the Acer 500 and returned it. Worst wifi device I have owned.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bboymickey:
I actually had a great signal with GB but now that i'm on hc it's off and on

Sent from my Evo View 4g
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] immjg:
I was thinking the same thing today. I have another brand tablet that seems to have about 30-40% better reception. Also finds many more AP's than my View. I guess they want you to use their "Sprint" data. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
Appreciate the responses. The weird thing is I took the View to my bedroom last night, which is upstairs and at the opposite end of the house from the router, and the signal was stronger and more consistent up there. Maybe I'm encountering some kind of interference in the living room... I don't know. Either way, I want a new wireless router.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kire1820:
I have noticed the same thing with my view. Wifi signal is inconsistent. The only good thing is that the signal didn't drop and speed is pretty consistent. I am guessing its a software issue?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] pakmonaco:
I have had both the Flyer and the View. The Flyer had about 30% better reception than the View in the exact same spot. Even my Droid X2 has better reception. I even tried turning on the wifi boost option under advanced settings in the wifi settings. Probably difference in the radio compared to the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
Yeah I was thinking firmware... Tried to update mine but always get an error.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
I tried the "Best wifi performance" setting as well... Didn't seem to make a difference. Mine does drop the connection regularly, at least in my living room. Still love the little thing. Guess when I'm sitting on my couch, I can just grab my GTab.

Will also look into upgrading (and possibly relocating) my wireless router soon. Again, thanks for the replies.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsoplinger:
Wonder if it's a hardware issue. Are both radios on the same chip our share the same antenna? So that on the Flyer there's more power to pick up the wifi signal?

Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rjohmit:
I dont know...but WIFI is pretty much always the only thing I have turned on.

I was just wondering if the device is defective...based on other people's comments, it doesn't sound like it.

I really like the View, but it's really annoying to have to be within 10' of a wireless router to get a solid, consistent connection.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] FbYAx:
I have the same issue and, though I don't know if this is specific to my unit, I can say it is the same trouble regardless the wifi situation and have compared it to my (and others') laptops, a Nook STR, and an HTC Espresso, all of which connect and show strong signals. I've checked this with 6 routers and it is the case every time.

Quite absurd. Since I gained the View from an eBay sale, I'll likely be selling it as a result.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
The view does much better then my e4gt and better then my Att ipad2.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
IF you have to be within 10 ft of a router, you have a defect or failure. Send it back for repair.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
I'm sure you already tried this but what happens when you enable "best wifi performance" in advanced wifi settings? It's supposed to increase signal range at the cost of battery consumption so who knows.. maybe it will increase your range to 15 feet ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] FbYAx:
Yes, thanks for the note. I've tried the increased performance wifi setting, to which it is currently set. I've additionally tried changing the "home" and "outside" settings, which do not seem to stay set or, perhaps, are not even set in the first place (or at least this is not reflected in the GUI). I'm currently running HC, but this was true fro GB. Stupidly, I held out, hoping that the upgrade would cure my device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
With my Flyer I can get about 100 ft outside my house with Wifi.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] inmnbob:
i am having the same problem. Weak a signal at home a little better at other wifi locations. Can a router setting impact the quality or strength of a connection?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] FbYAx:
I'm sure router signals can affect the quality; however, by this point I've tried this on many different routers, some of which are professionally maintained and which no others seem to have any trouble connecting (nor do I with the 3 other Android devices to which I have access). With the View, I can literally walk several feet away from the router and watch it drop bars. As a result, it's already gather dust...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Still not considering repair? How about selling it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxxy74:
Does anyone know if we can get OTA updates for Galaxy Nexus in Oz yet? Got my GN from Mobicity this week and it is running 4.01. If I go into settings and hit 'check for updates', it says my device is up to date. Would the update be coming from the Provider (optus)? If so, I guess I will have to wait until the are supplying the phones (next few days).

Any information appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
I think the says one is the same as euro check if its yakuju or not.

Mine is an import so I can't say for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
There's an app on the Android market which will tell you if you're getting updates direct from Google or waiting for it to go through Samsung. I'd post the link, but apparently I need to make a few other posts first... </rant>

Anyway, it's on the market, named 'GN Official Update Checker'.

If you don't have a Yakju build you can always flash it back to one. Location doesn't matter for Yakju builds, so long as your phone can reach the Google servers, you'll get updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxxy74:
Thanks for that. I had already downloaded and ran that App. It says I DONT get my updates from Google.

Not overly keen to unlock the bootloader and flash it at this point in time. Will wait a while and see what comes out in the coming weeks.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Mine actually came with an unlocked bootloader. I wasn't getting updates from Google, but I flashed back to stock 4.0.2 and everything's been fine since. I was a bit nervous about doing so, since I've never done anything like this before, but with the guides here on XDA it was a remarkably simple and easy process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxxy74:
How can I tell if it is already unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
When you boot up if you have a lock under google and it is unlocked then your bootloader is unlocked

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drahyrt:
I have a mobicity yakju thus updated by google when it pleases them

Still on 4.01. unadulterated at this point, but getting impatient........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxxy74:
Nope, no lock under Google at boot, so I am guessing mine is locked...bugga
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] olivierlee:
You do get OTA updates in Australia. Mine was bought from Clove in the UK and came with the yakju build. Got the volume bug fix a few weeks ago. You just have to be patient I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Try going into settings and manually checking for an update. Sometimes it's available, your phone just hasn't found it yet.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

It's easy and pretty risk-free to unlock, and just as easy to re-lock again if you're so inclined.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
if you bought the nexus in aus and want direct google updates just convert your phone to the yakuju build from the google nexus factory image site http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

just flash with fastboot, i did this on mine cause i cbf waiting for the ota;s :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mooves:
+1 Amen brother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrenk232:
My SGN was also purchased from mobicity and I'm in WA, I received both the volume bug and 4.0.2 update on the first day it was released. It's also a yakju build. Just lucky I guess

I bought from mobicty too but i already got 4.0.2 maybe 3 or 4 days ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wynthewun:
This may seem like an extremely dumb question but is there actually a video app (with it's own icon) on the Galaxy Nexus (non LTE version)?

I can play video files by going into a file manager and finding the videos but I can't find the app icon. I feel a bit silly but I thought it would be sillier not to ask.

Any help is appreciates :)

The "video" app is apart of Gallery.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jake21:
So I picked up a new razr (first smart phone) and I'm trying to get email to work. I'm new to andriod but not linux. I can receive email fine; but I cannot send email (I send a message; it indicates sending but then it comes back a few seconds later and indicates it failed to send the mail). However I do not see any sort of error message (reason for failure) or error log.

-

I probably misconfigured the outgoing side of email; but verify server passes (outgoing and incomming are not the same and outgoing uses port 25 with tls (password authenticated).

-

I'm sure there is a simple error here; and if i saw the error messsage (reason email failed to send) i could probably figure it out.

So is there any sort of error log or error message that would explain why the mail failed to send ?
[Kindle Fire General] Groundhack:
Okay so the Kindles 6.2.1 update brought about gingerbread 2.3.6 from my understanding which patches the zergrush exploit. Here are some of my brainstorming ideas on ways that we can obtain root again.

1.) Some sort of flashing software to downgrade such as Odin/Heimdall (these work on samsung things so im not sure as to the viability of using these utilities on kindle.

2.) Perhaps there is a way we can use the OTA update method that amazon uses to issue a fake OTA update with a rooted image. This method to me sounds good but would probably require alot of work: like discovering how the amazon OTA updates are issued and ways that we can abuse and attack that process.

does anyone else have any ideas that might be considered?
[Kindle Fire General] renegade027:
As a first, is there anyone, who has successfully been able to use ADB/fastboot on firmware 6.2.1? I've tried the usual driver mods - no luck. Same thing on Ubuntu, which is weird - a Linux machine should have seen the KF without issues.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
I can adb, just can't zerg. I looked for exploits for a half hour and came up blank.

You need to be root to idme. I'm at a roadblock :/
[Kindle Fire General] intersectRaven:
All non-rooted 6.2.1 are at a roadblock. Hopefully this is resolved soon. :(
[Kindle Fire General] jwilliamf:
so much for the idea that amazon didn't care about rooted kf
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Have you seen this post?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20555086&postcount=68

I think you have a factory cable right? I can't try this as I am already at 6.2.1 rooted and I don't have a factory cable created or obtained yet.
[Kindle Fire General] slm4996:
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this just a general fix in android 2.3.6?
[Kindle Fire General] slm4996:
If you have a fastboot cable you can use that to modify the recovery. Then you have all the access you need to root, theme, whatever.
[Kindle Fire General] sadalius:
I know of one case where someone says they used a factory cable and was able to use one of the pre-rooted stock Roms to get it going. If that's the case, then we have our answer boys!!!
[Kindle Fire General] yurdle:
Thing is.. not everyone has a factory cable.. I plan to buy the parts to make one when I get a chance.. but I'm sure a method will come about.
[Kindle Fire General] wtphoto:
now I dont know much about how to find exploits and stuff but I did download the stock update file and if you change it from .bin to .zip the structure looks like any other update zip just wil some extra stuff in it like the recovery image and such. could we just take the boot.img system directory and the other main system files from the rooted 6.2.1 and replace them in the stock update file and try to force it to re-update? once again just a thought after looking at the file.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
It will fail the signature test in recovery if you tamper with the file. A factory cable is a useless method for rooting because nobody has one. We are looking for a method that doesn't require a cable
[Kindle Fire General] wtphoto:
but couldnt you resign the file? I remember on my hero I used to take the dev roms remove all the crap I didnt want and then zip it and resign it. or does that only work with a custom recovery?
[Kindle Fire General] intersectRaven:
That only works with a custom recovery. Now if you can get your hands on the signature file that amazon signs their updates with then that's a different story. :p
[Kindle Fire General] wtphoto:
lol, dont we all wish we could get our hands on that. like I said when it comes to the dev side i dont know much (though I want to learn, just dont know where to start) I kinda figured it couldnt be that easy but but it never hurts to ask.
[HTC Rezound] mikehager66:
I have had my Rezound for 30 days today. This morning while driving into work my phone was on the Verizon GPS dock and the died due to low battery. It was the first time I actually let it discharge completely. Later at work I got a call and the ring tone I set up for that person was different. I went into all the contacts I assigned ring tones to and they were all changed. I then opened up GO SMS and all the notifications I had assigned were all changed as well. There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to the pattern of the changed ring tones and notifications and nothing else on the phone appears to have been affected.

I used to have a problem like that occasionally on my HTC EVO 4G, but that was only when I was restoring some nandroid backups. Obviously that would not be the case with the Rezound, so I am left with a question. Was it an issue with the GPS Dock or the battery discharge completely? Or could it be that it discharged while on the GPS dock? I searched the forum and could not find anyone with this exact same issue so not if this is something new or an old issue. Minor annoyance I guess, but we all know how long it takes setting up your ring tones and notifications.
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
Mine did the same thing yesterday except that it had a charge.

Then last night it just started boot looping for no reason.
[HTC Rezound] mikehager66:
Now that I started looking at the phone it started flickering so I am thinking I might have to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it.
[HTC Rezound] rwc95:
Mine had similar problems, my apn changed on its own and couldnt get a data connection, and my ringtones changed. I reset the apn to default which fixed the data but then I kept getting 1x when my wifes was on 3g. So anyway did a factory reset and everything working great now. :D
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, i thought it was go sms...go was changing my text noise to a SONG in my music folder lol...and my ringtone sometimes changed back to default, but that was because i had my ringtones on the external SD, when they should be on internal..everytime you plug it into the PC, it'll reset to the stock ringtone. but yeah as for tones, idk why that does it.
[HTC Rezound] mikehager66:
I am 'glad' I am not the only one, but not sure if I want to do a factory reset in case the phone got boinked or to just reassign the notifications and ring tones. If multiple phones had this issue and it seems to be on the day they had a huge network outage could that be the cause.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I've had issues with notifications changing randomly, generally when it dies or I do a full reset. My favorite was when I missed some important calls because it changed my ringtone to silent. I refuse to do a factory reset, though. Too much hassle, so I periodically check my sounds.
