[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ricknau:
Trying to root my A100. Process requires access to /mnt/sdcard/. Using ES Explorer I can see a folder /sdcard/ but it is not under /mnt/. I can get no higher up the file structure than /sdcard/. It's like the /mnt/ folder doesn't exist. Android version is 3.2.

What's going on? If I use the /sdcard/ folder thar i have access to will the root process work? From what I read the operation is very particular about where the files and command lines are stored.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fisterkev:
I changed the Home Directory (in settings) to /mnt/sdcard/, then the toggle at the far left toggles from home (internal) to SD card (external). Toggle it to the external and go into the mnt folder, then external_sd.

use file manager click home then up you should see it

thanks folks for the help. Fisterkev nailed it. Simply using the "up" function wasn't enough.

[Xperia Arc General] farvin:
Hi guys, happy new year :-)

I'm thinking about buy a full replacement kit, also the buttons and the alu frame. I drop it one time and of cause it already had the crack over the light sensor. :@ So my before beautiful Arc needs some care ;-)My question is, it's possible for me to do it my self or is to difficult?
[Xperia Arc General] putrabiru:
i would love also to hear..... :)
[Xperia Arc General] farvin:
Nobody ??
[Xperia Arc General] rkanwar:
It is slightly difficult because of all the ribbons and components inside the phone. The easiest bit is literally taking off the back cover. There was a disassembly guide in the forum somewhere.

However my advice is if you have little patience and are heavy handed then get it done from a local shop or something or from someone who has some experience
[LG Nitro HD] GuestK003:
What's you honest opinion? Is it getting CM9? Should I get the Galaxy S2?
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
had mine for about 2 weeks and it is a love hate. love the screen, hate the battery. love the possibility (development/ics), hate the current reality.

my wife got skyrocket and comparing the two, nitro screen wins hands down! clear crisp and realistic colors. sgs2sr is much smoother software wise and battery is what you qould expect, full day with lite use. nitro get 8 hours lite use.

after a few days i was ready to switch to skyrocket... but i am going to hang with it. the negatives are not great enough to give up this screen. plus skyrocket does not feel as good in the hand.

that probably doesnt help much... if you can go look at both.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
No one knows yet as it is still waiting for the CWM to be built, if you feel you can wait for the custom ROMs, CWM etc then get one if you wish, or if you need something right away then the SGSII is the other road to travel. There are several posts about your question, for example:

[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
I needed a new phone after my Atrix 4G bluetooth/wifi chip broke down. The real choices were really iPhone 4S, Skyrocket, HTC Vivid and LG Nitro. One look at iPhone screen and it was out. It almost seems like a kid toy. I had Skyrocket for a week and I returned for few reasons. I read a lot and the screen was washed out in comparison to the original S2 that my wife has. I have a little kid and I take a lot of pics. Skyrocket camera always produced pics that were a little out of focus. The third strike was that Skyrocket audio produced a lot of hissing through the headphones. Fourth, I was not so convinced that xda scene would embrace Skyrocket like they did with the European ver of S2. This phone was released in the US 6 months too late. Vivid was out just simply it felt like holding a soap box. Now Nitro HD. Screen for reading is simply amazing. After rooting, hard reset, GO Launcher I can get to the performance and look I need. I like how the phone is feels in my hand. The battery is a problem and I would not chose this phone if I was still travelling too much but with a combination of a spare battery and a car charger I focus more on enjoying the phone without busting a sweat. The baterry life still seems better than EVO 4G. If you need to stick with this phone for the next two years I would wait for something like 4.5 inch 720p quad core Tegra 3, 2 gb RAM, LTE, 2.2f dual flash 12mp marvel that will come out closer to the mid year. If you need a phone for 6-9 months this phone will hold you over just fine. Just dont expect a lot of mods. If this phone will get a support it will be closer to the level of Atrix.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
Lastly Skyrocket doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Nitro HD does.
[LG Nitro HD] GuestK003:
Cool. I've read horrible reviews about the battery. How has it been for you? The different between the 2 screens doesn't bother me.
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
I have been getting about 12 hours with moderate use now. The battery has improved over the course of first 2 weeks of owner ship with repeated charges. I am talking about LTE, GPS, BT on all the time. When I say moderate probably 30 min calls, 20 sms, 1 hour of screen time browsing and stuff.

This is honestly the best phone I have used. Screen is a beauty. Everything just works. I used GPS on a recent west coast trip which involved at least 5 hours of GPS use. It was dead on. I can lock in the middle of a grocery store. Unfortunately the battery life isn't great. I rate it as mediocre. When I expect to be out for a long time, I switch to my Inspire 4G.

Also there is a stigma associated with LG brand.

The dev support is to be determined. Good thing is that this is a flagship model and there are different international versions available to broaden the hopes of more international dev support.

If you were to pick between the current AT&T LTE lineup, I would definitely recommend Nitro HD. I think if you wait another month or so, the Samsung Galaxy Note or the Sony's rumored 720p phone may get released. Again just speculations.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
I agree this is probably the fastest GPS lock that I have ever seen.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this device to anyone looking for a flagship smartphone. Maybe not ideal for the road warrior running around searching for an LTE signal with the screen on playing an HD game but that is more about the battery than the phone.

And unfortunately, any leading-edge phone like this is going to have battery issues simply because battery tech has not kept up with the blistering pace these devices are moving forward. Now if these devices ran on petrol, WOW! :D

it's going to be a few years before batteries catch up to these devices. So it will be much much worse with the new quad-core smartphones that are poised on the horizon.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
With a very heavy use, screen on 100%, browsing, LTE about 4.5 hours.
[LG Nitro HD] GuestK003:
Got the skyrocket! Thanks!
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Sorry, but ouch....good luck with that.
[LG Nitro HD] Ryanscool:
Wait! The galaxy note is coming..... The phone of many dreams lol. Its 5.3in of pure samoled goodness ahhh. I would get this too but the note has everything.... Including a booming development. Wish this phone luck, its a great one. Use your one month trade in for that! It is way better then that skyrocket.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
We don't know when it's coming, could be March, could be April, maybe even later.

Edit: Just to add...Yeah, the Note is a beast of a device, but it's going to be released around the same time the new quad core device(s) are released. So that's something to think about as well.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Too big...

I'm sticking with my Nitro. Since bringing it back from the dead, I've grown quite attached :-)
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Ditto. I'm doing just fine with the launcher and keyboard replacements. Too bad the Qualcomm processor eats the battery like a pig though.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Oink Oink!! speaking of eating...im hungry
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
There should be a road map for all the new device release dates next week in CES.
[LG Nitro HD] blaineball:
Yes to clairify... I would highly recommend this device, especially over skyrocket. Put the two screens side by side and you will be 100% sold! After watching 720p movies/anime I am so in love with this screen. LTE is incredible too. Yesterday I was getting 14Mbps up AND down! I have hit 20s and 30s consistently.

A little laggy, yes. Battery hog, hell yes. My hope is both of those are addressed by ICS and/or the XDA Dev community :D!

And yes, the battery life does sucks! Worst I have ever seen since I ran Android from my SD card on my HD2. Charger at desk and charger in car is required - or one of those portable chargers... something cuz you will not make it thru the day.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
Actually as oppose to original gs2, skyrocket is unable to play mkv smoothly. There is a lot of threads about that in the divx forum.

Nitro HD on the other hand handles them very well through the stock player.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
How about this for LTE SPEEDS?! BUAHAHAHAHA
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
In the immortal words of Yoda...

"No! Think not! Get or get not, there is no think!"

[LG Nitro HD] HJZS2K:
After debating between this and switching to Verizon to get the Galaxy Nexus, I decided to stay with this. The phone itself just feels right. I played with both and liked the LG quality better for some reason. Also the hardware is probably just a tad better. The screen btw, is amazing. I don't think I can go back to anything else less. Despite the sometimes laggy software, I think I'll stick with this phone for a bit and bet on some Dev love, which can't come soon enough.

One thing of note: after switching the launcher and freezing some apps I have to say the performance is much better.

With respect to the LTE comment above, I'm kind of annoyed that I got capped at 0.15mbps right now. That's just unnecessary. I've only used up a bit more than 3 gbs of data this month and I'm already getting capped. I'm not even on LTE! Anyone have a way around that? I tried changing the APN but it just keeps on defaulting to the original one.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
It's the 3rd of the month :rolleyes:
[LG Nitro HD] HJZS2K:
I should clarify by saying that's 3gbs this billing month. I have about 10 days left in this billing cycle and its excruciating when my "4G" is limited to 0.15mbps. I don't think using approximately 4gb, at my current rate, is/should be considered over the top? In either case, why bother allowing unlimited data plans when you get capped after what I consider moderate usage, especially on a lightning fast network??
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
Amen to that. Something has to give. Not too mention charging 20 cents for less than 1kb text message. We need more competition.
[LG Nitro HD] bmxant:
That makes much more sense :p

But yeah, that's a bit ridiculous. Are you connecting to WiFi while at home?
[LG Nitro HD] HJZS2K:
I am forced to now. Good thing I have wifi at home and at work but it's just inconvenient for the times in between and when I'm out and about. We need some Dev support so we can switch apns freely.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
I have original GS II and Skyrocket and prefer GS II. It's much smoother and battery is better.

Agree with other posters on Nitro: screen is tops, lag is bearable with tweaks, battery is bad (but it charges quickly), did I mention the screen? ;)
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
I must say, the battery in LG Nitro HD is better than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. With an average consumption hold a charge longer.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
I was not trying not to use the phone. :) This is two weeks after I bought it. I used mostly email, browser, forum apps, whats app. This is after rooting, hard reset debloating, moderate auto sync, full baterry discharge and charge, automatic brightness, adw launcher which seems to have way less baterry toll than go launcher. The batery was at 66% after 8 hours of medium use.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
A friend of mine who is hardcore iPhone fanboy was drooling all over the couch when he saw screen on Nitro and how well it plays any videos I threw on it (even uncompressed videos from a photo camera).

However after we compared battery life on both playing two episodes of "Heroes" for almost 1.5 hours, I was drooling because his iPhone used about 12% battery, while Nitro used 40%...
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
And then you fired up SpeedTest and you felt 10 times better ;)

So, yesterday I tried to do the search key as camera button hack that's on here. It never did work for some reason. But oh well no big deal. Then later I noticed the volume down button won't work. I looked back in the file I was messing with for the search key camera hack just to make sure I didn't change something in there and all was well. So I rebooted with no luck. Then I did a factory data reset knowing that normally fixes issues. Again no luck. So I decided to boot into recovery and just see if the down key worked in recovery and sure enough it does just fine. So I know its not just broken so that makes me feel a lil better. But anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi everybody

I'm trying to flash my U20i with a custom kernel but nothing happened. Flashtool 0.5.3.0 saying my phone is unlocked and it's successfully flashed but my kernel version is still same "2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1".

Any idea ?

No idea, I'm no expert with Flashtool but it would be helpful to those who are if you could copy and paste the output from Flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
There is a different flashtool... Confusing isnt it? I used the one your using now to confirm the semc certificate and a different one 2.9.1 (or something) to flash the kernel or bootloader (after its unlocked). Never had any issues with that one.

Chris
[Acer Iconia A500] diiorio:
Not sure why you can't use a 360 controller when games that use controllers have the exact colored button indicators as it.

I use a wired, and it works by default. If you use onlive gaming, you will want to use the 360 controller since games are made for it already, or the onlive wireless one. Wireless Xbox 360 controllers work as well, but I use the wired so I don't need to worry about battery life.

Bluetooth controllers typically will have synch issues so stay away from those.
