i have avast installed and it does a lot for a free program.

im just wondering if it scans every file that the system is using. if it does, wouldnt it drain my battery faster?

also kinda interested in lbe privacy guard. any other users have experience using it? any link in xda for comments and such on it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
Greetings

I have a few perhaps off-the-wall questions (though maybe not, I don't know).

First off, I am an iPhone user (currently), but prior to my 3GS I did have an original Moto Droid (switched carriers so my wife could get an iPhone). My next upgrade (and hers) is coming up. I know she wants a new iPhone so she and the kids can Facetime with her mother. There are other programs that can do the same thing, but her mother is not tech-inclined so Facetime is the best option for her. Me, on the other hand...I'm not sure yet.

I remember back then that there was at least 1 program that let me sync to the Droid using iTunes, though it didn't work very well. Can anyone tell me the name of the program and does it work better now? Drag and Drop is always an option, but if iTunes is open, it might be easier.

The second question is a bigger one. Currently I plug my iPhone into a usb cable running from my car CD Player which both charges the phone and plays whatever I'm listening through directly through the stereo in the car. Is this something that I can readily adapt to Android? I would prefer not having to buy extra cables or anything like that to get the same functionality.

That brings me to my last question. During my commute (1 hr each way, 5 days a week) I mostly listen to audiobooks. All but one of these I have created myself by taking a book in mp3 format, converting it to m4a using iTunes, then changing the extension to m4b. This works perfectly. They show up in the audiobook section and until recently (5.0 update, I think) I could stop an audiobook, listen to actual music, then continue the audiobook right where I left off. That could be more related to the book being marked as listened to, though.

Does Android have an audio player that will play these books in this format? I don't want to reconvert them, and I don't want to have multiple copies of the same book taking up space (not much, but still) on my file server. If Android does have this, does said player also play chaptered/possibly drm'd audiobooks purchased through iTunes/Audible?

These are questions I would really need answered before I made the leap back to Android. I love the platform, and am currently rediscovering that love with my Nook Tablet; but there are some things that I am unwilling to compromise on with a phone when I know there is an alternative out there that works the way I want it to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
Those are some of the longest questions I have read in a while...

My advice: spend time researching instead of writing novel-like questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olly666:
Your post was totally unnecessary. The guy has legit concerns and he has every right come here and ask the experts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
While I appreciate your opinion, as the poster below you said: they are legit concerns.

Personally, I would rather read long but well thought out questions than a bunch of short questions that are answered quickly, but don't completely satisfy the anticipated or desired result.

I have been away from Android phones for some time now. Like any computing technology, things change; and the longer you're away the more things are different than when you left.

I have researched, but haven't found answers that completely satisfy what I'm looking for. That's why I asked the questions I did.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidzoo:
Apparently Mortplayer has an Audiobook version that is supposed to work, though I have no idea if it will. I haven't tried it.

And the answer to my usb playing question seems to be a resounding no. I would be forced to use 2 things: a usb charger and an aux input to the headphone jack. Not as all-in-one as I had hoped. Bummer.

Hi, any chance to get Virtuous O/C + Daemon Controller back in SENSEaY - XE35 v2.1.0 | 2.3.5 | Sense 3.5 | Tweaks | AmazeCAM | BEATS!! ROM from CdTDroiD? I wish to use it instead of SetCPU with bricked kernel from show-p1984. Or maybe someone could tell me is there any way to install it manually?

Thanks, sek

Update

It seems I solved it. I found andrev_oc-flashable-beta5.zip and Virtuous Overclock Controller.apk, done backup first, flashed zip in recovery, installed apk and seems to be working :)

They seem to be kanged builds not official builds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] geoffcorey:
Someone downloaded the compiled CM7 build linked in the dev section, and modified it, just like the devs take the OEM roms, modify them, and flash them (think of the alpha as a stock Samsung rom, and think of one of the other CM7 roms as a rom from adt or team kang, just without making the original much better [not knocking team kang or adt in anyway]).

Hello everyone,

I've been using the samsung writing pad but have been a little let down.

I'm looking to see of anyone has suggestions for a decent handwriting application.

As an FYI, I've used phatpad from Phatware and it's okay... Looking for other options that have worked for other writers!

Thanks for any suggestions!

Im a newb to most of, so bare with me lol... Running 2.7 Xron and has been doing great with no issues until now. I wanted to update to 2.8 Lite but I keep getting the error that my memory is full. I have a 32g TP so I know its not any where near full, plus I haven't hardly installed anything cause of constant new releases of Xron lol (been using sense 2.2) but yesterday I tried to download the newest release and I started getting the message that my memory was full. Root explorer can no longer read my SD card, so that's the problem.. what happened and how can I fix it?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] rstanley4:
resolved..

Well.. I booted into webOs and then back into Xron and it now recognizing the SD card... weird. But I am now able to download 2.8 lite :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] duckredbeard:
Has anyone here gone from the inspire to the vivid? I'm undecided on my next phone and I want to know if there are any significant advantages to the vivid.

There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary math, and those who don't.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Hey man, I was in the same boat as you. I couldn't make a desicion but picked up my vivid today. I just unlocked the bootloader and now looking up how to root it. The Inspire is a sick phone. I previously had an HTC Aria and it was just time to change that dinosaur of a phone. The inspire is super fast but I have friends that have had issues with the stock rom. I rooted my cousins phone and no issues to date. It's super quick for a single core but cons are does not have a front facing camera. The camera on the inspire is really nice. There are tons of roms out for it and you can literally root it in 5 mins with the Ace Hack Kit. I decided to go with the Vivid bc the inspire came out last year and I don't change phones as often as most ppl on here. So I hope in 2 years time to be somewhat up to date with the Vivid vs the Inspire. Both are excellent phones and hope there's a lot of developer support for the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I have. This is like an updated Inspire with a bigger screen, without the stupid battery door lol. This thing is officially getting ICS, so I'm going to have to say it's the best phone on AT&T right now. Some may argue GSII but having only touchwiz and AOSP ROMs in development is boring.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shogunmark:
i went from the inspire to vivid.... but i wouldnt have passed up a new phone anyway :D

I loved my inspire, and its probably the only phone i have owned the longest, but i got the vivid as soon as it came out and im in love all over again. You wont regret getting it!

as a matter of fact, i held on to my inspire and almost went back to it with the CIQ stuff, but i held out for bootloader unlock. My love for the vivid was stronger than my concern of privacy and security.. :eek:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] duckredbeard:
I'm coming from an Aria, so I'm sure I'm in for a treat. I rooted my wife's inspire but haven't done anything else with it. I'm vaguely familiar with her device, so I'm entering this decision with no bias. I'm about 85% sold on the vivid, I just gotta hide the $200 purchase factor. Maybe work a deal with them. "Retention" is a powerful word in this area, so let's see if I can get them to come down. $150 and I'm gettin the vivid.

There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary math, and those who don't.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mac98sho:
I am coming from the Inspire, and I like this phone a lot more.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infekxion:
My only issue with the Vivid coming from Inspire was the right hand power/sleep/wake button (personal issue), but easier to get used to than having a Vivid and an Exynos SGS2.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
Definitely the Vivid. Bigger screen than the Inspire, talk about about a version of ICS coming out soon, not to mention that if you live in an area with LTE, it would make life alot different and easier. You may pay more for the vivid, but you are definitely getting more for the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vestitor:
I went from Inspire to Vivid as well. Loved my Inspire, but I love my Vivid more. Screen size on the Vivid is nice. The Vivid is much easier to root as well. The Inspire has more custom roms, but the Vivid is gonna get ICS. Worth the change for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rambohacker:
I went from the Inspire to the Motorola Atrix2 & was very disapointed with the phone (had a lot of bugs & motorola excluded it from it's ICS update list) so I took it back & got the Vivid & I'm in love. The screen on this phone is out of this world awesome. It's like the Inspire on steroids. Everything runs faster, smoother, better & plus it's on LTE. It also very easy to root & you can unlock the bootloader very easy using software from HTC's website. If you shop around like I did I got Best Buy to price match Fry's, they had it for $79.99 with a 2 year contract.
[Blade General] Anicane:
Hi

I was just wondering if it was possible to uroot zte blade after rooting it ? it is because i dont want to void my warrenty.

thanks.
[Blade General] saaransh9:
u can use z4root modified to root and unroot your phone.this can be found at modaco.
[Blade General] manxp85:
It's just an urban legend that rooting voids your warranty. You live in EU, so if the dealer tells you that rooting "removed" phone warranty, it means he's wrong. I also live in EU and we have some nice laws here. Just bricked one of my phones after rooting + downgrading Android. It was replaced under warranty (the dealer didn't want to do it first, but still replaced the phone when I told him that I know consumer rights).
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
the way i did when my vodafone smart 858 died on me (not due to bricking just a faulty device) installed a stock rom and the recovery and phone were back to stock no more root on the phone and no clockwork recovery were left hope that helps

N.B: im not sure if this method still leaves traces of rooting on the phone
[Blade General] manxp85:
Guys, rooting does NOT void your warranty (even if sellers would love it to happen).
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
The above poster is correct even if the shop states it voids warranty in my country there is a law that states a 2 year warranty on all products if you have consumer rights in your country dont be afraid to use them

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've got a 10.1, use it all the time. A lot of the time at restaurants, my phone is only serving to tether the tab.

Task650 also has a 10.1 - in fact long before he started creating GS2 ROMs, he was maintaining Tab 10.1 ROMs. His are what I use on my 10.1.

I don't maintain a 10.1 kernel because it's a pain in the ass, and also pershoot knows his ****.

The 10.1 is a great device - even when stock! (other than Samsung's ****ty initial 3.2 update - they fixed it fast though.)

However it is getting a bit old now - The one complaint I have about the 10.1 is the crappiness of the Tegra 2. Unfortunately if you want Exynos you've got to drop to 7" screen size.

If Sammy releases an Exynos-based 10.1 or 8.9, I'm selling my 10.1 and grabbing it in a heartbeat. Tegra3 quadcore - not so sure, the Tegra3 will probably be as much of a disappointment in the quadcore market as the Tegra2 was for dualcores.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adamandro12:
I have a 10.1. I don't use it a ton but when I do I love it. It is really nice for sitting on the couch and surfing or playing a game as well as for reading. If I had the choice I might switch to 8.9 though.

I have SGS tab 10.1. But I mostly use my SGS2. My wife uses the tab most of the time. As entropy mentioned tegra2 is not that good in handling here contents without using third party software. Also, I was watching fast five using pocket blu, the videos were quite choppy, but it played well on SGS2, until I rooted SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
so it seems waiting it out is best
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I used to use my tab for browsing and youtube only, which it is fantastic at, much better than my sgs2.

Then I put ICS cm9 Alpha on it.

The tab has become so much more useful that I've almost completely stopped touching my phone. I can blaze out an email significantly faster on my Tab than I could on a PC. And not only that but the multitasking is instant. You should see me use this thing when I'm emailing, grabbing info off the net, and Facebook chatting at the same time. I look like a mad man and something straight out of the movie Minority Report.

I love my 10.1
