[Thunderbolt General] aislepathlight:
Hey all,

I'm mostly a lurker around here, but I have had countless issues with my thunderbolt (I'm on replacement number 5, and I need to get a 6th). I have been working with Verizon to be swapped into a different phone. However, leaving the great Thunderbolt community, I want to go into a phone with a very strong following, hopefully the GN. However, I have two options from Verizon.

I could have tech support swap me into another phone. I have been offered the Rezound and the Razr. What they mean by swap, I don't know, but I am hoping not an M2 (early upgrade), but just they send me the new phone for free.

The rep I spoke to last night suggested that she could do an M2 to get me the Nexus, but I would have to pay for it. She said that I could then sell my Thunderbolt to recoup most of the cost.

So this leaves me with the following situation. I am really not in a place that I can justify paying any significant amount of money for a phone (I already shelled out a couple hundred bucks on this phone, and then the contract is expensive too). So I guess I need advice. How much is a Thunderbolt worth these days? The one I have I received damaged from Verizon (Scratch in the screen, little nick on the side, but hard to notice).

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
You might want to check ebay for the going rate. I believe it's a little over $100. I'm also in a position to upgrade and pay the difference, but I don't think I can justify it yet.

Today, my daughter (5 years old) with her group in kinder garden had show for parents. I even took day off from my job, in order to be there. I used my SGSII to make a video of full performance - about 20+ minutes of program, max resolution, file size 2.14GB... everything was super, except... ? My phone says "Unsuported file format". My computers can't open this file, I have tried all the different players (windows media playe, vlc, media player clasic... ) - nothing works. Media player classic says:

try using g-spot to see if you are missing any codecs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaximax:
Try installing real player or real alternative codecs then try playing with VLC or media player classic and change the internal filters to avi :)

or try an MP4 player ... honestly though try the latest VLC player it should play it fine does it work on the mobile?!

[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
I have a good one for anyone, I have a Evo3D which I am going to do all those wicked things to.. but last night or rather this am around 645. this Evo turned its self on and set off a alarm in which I had never set. when I was trying to shut off the alarm it started clicking away at the camera.. but there is no sd card in it, so it did not save them. and I had to pull the battery to shut the cell off again. the button on the top would not function the cell. this was a very strange occurrence while I was 3/4 asleep.. the cell is not activated and its banded sprint.. has anyone ever heard of this before? I have currently taken the battery out of the cell in case of ghostly occurrences.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
never heard of anything like this .. if the cell isnt activated, then nobody could be remotely controlling it via the cell radio.

was it connected via wifi?

is the device internal memory write protection unlocked? rooted? are you running any type of custom ROM or software on the device?

sure sounds like a very odd occurance .. my only guess would be maybe you were a bit sleepy?
[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
No this thing is stock.. and I'm not the only one who heard the alarm. my partner who was in bed with me heard it also.. and this morning we both said how freakin weird..
[HTC EVO 3D] schmeggy929:
Are you sure the phone wasnt just in sleep mode. I cant see how the phone would turn on by itself. That would be the best invention ever.
[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
ok here is the thing, I had taken the battery out and put it back in, and never turned the cell on. it was just laying there waiting for me to decide what to do to it.. IE root, rom mgr etc. When the damn thing just did this.. a self starting phone that rang the alarm at 645 am.. and when I picked it up the camera started acting wacky and I had to pull the battery to shut it back off.. weird huh.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Whatever you are smoking, you should probably share.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneHitWonder:
Weird

That does sound a little crazy......was alcohol involved
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:

[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
would be the best invention? LOL My old phone Moto ROKR E6 have that ability. You know the phone was released in 2006.
[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
heres the follow up. HTC whom i contacted said " that the on off button and the hardware in the notifications for the alarm was in a stuck loop meaning that it needs repaired . so its still under warranty and is on its way back to them. hopefully it will be fixed and returned. that they have seen this on this model. Im glad someone knew what the world is up.
[HTC EVO 3D] tashsru:
oh and also i'm sorry I was not smoking anything, isn't my style.. sorry
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebouh00:
Hi guys, this is the problem I'm facing. I was running the latest oxygen rom without any problems, until I decided to install polaris office. I downloaded the docmanager apk and read that I have to push it to /system/app. Anyway, I was trying to get system to be writable and testing the mount cmd... I entered mount into the emulator and got a bunch of mounted paths. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what happened bur anyway I then downloaded busybox installer and installed busybox.

I rebooted and next thing I know, the default oxygen launcher appears instead of the go launcher I had installed and almost all apps are not listed. I check the app manager and it shows all the other apps in their package name with a sd card sign next to them.

I am running oxygen with sdext enabled. I am guessing I did something from the emulator that messed up sdext which has most of my apps.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this? I'm not really sure what has actually happened, but if you need me to provide more info please let me know.

BTW, I downloaded the market apk again and when I tried to install it, android rebooted. I am guessing that's cause it tried to install it on sdext.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] billfold:
Is the KF a great device even if I do not get an Amazon Prime subscription, which I do not want to do?

I searched through this sub forum and couldn't find an answer. I am debating getting the KF, NT, or the Acer A100. All have their upsides, however the KF is the only one that has custom roms at this time. I do not for see the NT getting much due to the HD Netflix restrictions, and the Acer A100 has a locked bootloader as well. However, the A100 will get an official ICS upgrade, but has horrendous battery life. Plus it just feels a little odd in my hands.

I would root the KF, possibly use the cloud services, and really want something to use on the cruise I am going on, which will have no internet connectivity. Streaming is great, but I would like the option to rip a couple of my dvd's, place some music on the device, read books, and play some games without having to worry about space.
[Kindle Fire General] Lkr721993:
keep in mind that the KF only has 8gb of internal storage, and not all of that is usable. i have mine set up with CM7 and read pdf textbooks and mobi kindle books through the kindle app on the android market.
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
Can only speak from my perspective. I am running CM7 from the KF forums on mine and do not miss amazon prime whatsoever.
[Kindle Fire General] xraytedjim:
I have netflix, so I don't miss Amazon prime since they have the same crappy movies. I've also loaded up CM7 and am SOOO much happier with my KF than stock. The choice is yours and how much you want to tweak it and how devoted to amazon prime VOD you are.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
Yes, Prime is in no way needed to get the most out of the Fire. It's nice that the video streaming is integrated, but for me video streaming not even a major draw of the Fire to begin with.
[Kindle Fire General] mastahype:
I have the fire and the NT. I also have amazon prime but the library is too old for that to be a factor. The biggest difference between these two devices is the performance. I know the specs already show that but you may not notice how much slower the fire really is without something to compare it too. I like both but I've been recommending the nook tablet for the extra storage (once its made usable) and faster performance. It really is the better device unless you care about amazon integration.

Long time ipad owner.
[Kindle Fire General] billfold:
I was hoping someone that owned both devices would show up. Thank you for the input. CM7 was the only thing that attracted me to the Fire. Sideloading apps and using the Google and Amazon markets is also available as well on the NT. Both are great devices, but I wanted to hear some feedback on some questions I had before jumping on either device.
[Kindle Fire General] cheesestrife:
KF is defintely work it without Prime. Amazon's video library is still pretty lackluster..comparable to netflix. If I can't get the Kindle Owner's Lending Library I may change my tune, but for now, ICS is too good to pass up.
[Kindle Fire General] sicmadek:
But i thought we were a ways away from a working ice port?
[Kindle Fire General] billfold:
I guess the big question that I am trying to figure out, is if the performance of the KF to the NT is worth $50. With CM7, I am betting that it is marginal at that point. It would be great to see a side by side comparison.
[HTC EVO 3D] brenstar:
Is there a way to activate the software buttons? I know I don't need them but can't help but be curious.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
Why would you need the on-screen software keys anyway? Just curious. All that wasted space could be used to display more of the beautiful ICS ROM.

[myTouch 4G General] arcticfox9:
Hi Everyone,

Recently, I've been using a variety of different MicroSD Cards in my HTC Glacier. I've been trying to figure out which cards will will operate in the phone and to what degree.

I have observed some problems on a Class 10 card that I have used. I think it would be great if we had a list that could be easily referenced.

Below I've specified a basic format that is easy for posting. As information is gathered, the format can be updated accordingly.

SD Card Compatability Summary:

Brand / Class / Operational / Speed Limitations / Image Flashing Limitations

Samsung / Class 2 / Yes / Full Speed / None

SanDisk / Class 4 / Yes / Full Speed / None

Lexar / Class 10 / Yes / USB & LAN Transfer Rates affected by incompatible reads / Cannot detect PD15IMG.zip files.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide some information about the cards they have used.
[myTouch 4G General] SprigganMaster:
Hello,

How are you measuring the card speed?

I tested a SanDisk class 4 (original sdcard) and now I am using a Kingston class 4 (32go).
[myTouch 4G General] Homerbsharp:
Patriot / Class 10 / Yes / Full Speed / None

Might want to include the part number and size, assuming you actually get the card you payed for ... and I agree you would need some uniformity in test tools. No problems with mine after a couple of months ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lemim0uth:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
You should get 4.0.2 OTA

i just received the 4.0.1 volume fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superlj:
Tired of waiting, so flashed 4.0.2 manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNineties:
Does this perhaps stem from the whole Yakju discussion and who (Samsung vs Google) is ultimately pushing the update to you?

Personally I purchased the Bell Nexus (GT-i9250M) for use on Rogers and I expect there to be some delay in the delivery of any of the OTAs due to the fact we have confirmation this particular model's OTA updates are provided via Samsung and not Google directly.

Thoughts? I too am eager for 4.0.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No, it does not. My friend on Yakju just got the volume fix update. The updates are rolled out in batches.

The only people with 4.0.3 OTA's are the Nexus S. It does not matter who updates your phone because everyone will get the updates anyways.. it also doesn't mean yakju devices get precedence as you can see my friend with a yakju just got his volume fix yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
I don't think I have seen anyone get a 4.0.2 update since the initial wave even if they are on yakju. It appears that Google pulled the OTA update for some reason. It would be nice if they posted on their blog what is going on with the updates instead of staying silent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimbok:
On yakju build. Just got an update alert but after update the version is still 4.0.1. Is this the minor volume bug update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonatansofer:
I also got an update just this min and its stay on 4.0.1

What is the different now??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomdroid3:
since the canadian nexus is not updated directly from google i has to go through bell first and so you have to wait for bell to approve updates. as for 4.0.3 its currently only available on the nexus s unless u have a custom rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
hope ur right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
Do you have any proof of this? The update goes through Samsung for us Bell users as far as what I have seen, not Bell. Maybe your right though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It is either Samsung or Google, but certainly not Bell (although the update is still pushed by Google). Don't forget, the yakjuux build is not exclusive to Bell...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s23bog:
I recently got a phone with Gingerbread (2.3.5) and like the fact that it now uses ext4. However, I am a bit confused. There is no lost+found directory on the /system partition.

It caused some problems with being able to write to the partition when using a couple different versions of Linux (Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10). /var/log/messages showed numerous errors pertaining to the partition and suggested I run fsck. Ran fsck, and it reported that lost+found was missing, and asked if I would like it created.

Not understanding why it was missing in the first place, I have not created it yet. Instead, I was able to use an older version of Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and was able to gain rw access.

Does anybody know why lost+found might be missing on my phone, and/or is it missing on other Gingerbread phones?

If you guys remember the all aluminum bumper available on ebay for $65? well the silver one is down to a much more palatable $18. just ordered mine and it should be in in a week are two. unfortunately the black one is still $65. links are below.

Black: (reference)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-PREMI...ccessories&hash=item3cc015de5e#ht_2335wt_1139

EDIT:

ok so i've had the case for a couple weeks and have had time to thoroughly examine it...

IMO it is a beautiful case, it does make the phone larger much like every other case. at first it does feel larger because it has a wider girth than most other cases. you will get people to comment saying "thats a big phone" it happens alot lol

the edges near the screen are actually a little sharp, the company didn't smooth the edges very well. its not gonna cut you or anything like that but it is noticible for the first few days, much like its size. another con is that many 3.5mm headphone cable don't fit well if they are very wide cables...the headphones i use and the aux cord in my car fit without a problem but the one in my mom's car (tape to 3.5mm adapter) does not fit, nor does the one i use to play music on my home theatre system.

it is a beautiful case and adds a good amount of weight, both giving it a more premium feel...overall i'm happy and will suggest it to anyone. with the only con being that some headphones may not fit, all other you can easily get over. i bought the silver one and mixed it with a blue brushed aluminum textured skin from skinit.com, and it looks sexy haha

i like it, but if you want a small case that you'll barely notice, i'd choose a different case
