[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Good to know it's not just me lol. It's not due to "cheapness" either, I have other cheap cables that works just fine.

I don't pretend to expert of any type, but this really has me scratching my head. I mean it's just 4 metal wires connecting one point to the other, why would it work under one set of software not another?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
I have had this not connecting correctly in both XP and Win7 (and heard of it in Macs). It didn't matter if I used a cheap or original USB cable.

What I did notice was that it worked fine in the first USB port I connected to in a particular computer. It would always work in that port. If I however plugged into another USB port on the same computer, then there would be problems.

This was tried on a handful of PCs and the same thing happened. I think the problem lies with the phone, as it happens on different PC O/S and Mac O/S. It must recognise the computer and make a connection relating to that USB port only. The only solution is to keep on using the same USB port.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
I noticed the USB thing on my desktop with my first cable/phone combo, but not with my new ones.

So for me at any rate it's definitely a cable problem. My "old" phone is from May, the new last week.

Hi Airfluip

Have you tried it?

I heard ppl say it does not last much more than the original bat.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mituzora:
you get what you paid for. honestly, I wouldn't trust one of those.

As for the Seidio, last night it lasted me 10+ hours with heavy usage(constant music, gaming) and it was at 39 percent or so when I plugged it in.

Today, i have had it unplugged for four hours, listening to music around the same amount and it is at 90 percent so it's a major plus

before 10 percent would last me maybe 30 minutes max if i'm constantly listening to music, and this is only my second cycle. waiting until it's completely broken in

I will post a full report once I actually kill the thing lol

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mituzora:
So this is what my battery looks like after two days of usage. With music playing, downloads happening, standby standing by calls being taken, etc etc. So I guess this battery really does this phone some good as I never have been able to squeeze this much juice out of my phone. Oh did I mention I was playing games hours at a time.

I recommend this product a lot, but I don't necessarily deem it an absolute need, but close to it, especially for excessive use

I was going it let it drain, but I think I'm going to throw it on the charger now, as the major drawbacks are a longer charge time, and thr size....which once you're used to it isn't as bad as it seems, I actually like the extra weight, and the way it feels.

Anyways if you're willing to shell around 60 bucks out for more juice(a lot more) then I highly recommend it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drywolf:
.......................
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xHighAlert:
Very interested in the biggest capacity battery I can get for around ~40-60 bucks.

I just got my phone four days ago, only just now let it go through a complete drain cycle.

But I was doing homework today and it didn't even make it through a full day of classes for me (From 7am to 4pm). Mostly just listening to music, calculator, a new text every twenty or so minutes, quick google shots during English classes.

Really disappointed by that. But if an extended battery will fix it (Also going to pick up a portable power pack if I can), I have to ask ... does this phone only draw 500 mA maximum when charging? I use the Apple USB charger because it's output is 1 Amp, the Samsung charger is 750 mA. Don't see a difference really - they both take a REALLY long time to charge.

[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
My MZ604 running the EOS 32 ROM refused to connect to a wifi network earlier. I went into the wifi settings to select the network and it said something about it avoiding the low signal or whatever (I don't remember exactly what it said) even though that network's signal was excellent. It was when it tried to connect to it that it showed the signal as being poor to nonexistent. I'm connected to my home network fine but I hope that issue doesn't repeat itself on a regular basis.

Did you by chance try a different access point or reset router? Just wondering sometimes the simple things cause the issues.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Because I'm not entirely sure it is a bug with EOS. I'm running the same hardware and software build as many other people, yet seem to be the only one with this problem. And I don't think "my wireless is unstable" is good enough to log a bug report without additional details, which I don't know how to obtain.

I get the same issue with different AP's, and the when it drops the scan can't pickup any of the AP's near me.
[Xoom General] solarnz:
Create a bug report for it.

It looks like the wifi driver is crashing for some reason.

If you could log the issue at https://bugs.teameos.org and provide a description of what security your access point has, if it has any special characters in the name etc.

Please also attach outputs from dmesg and logcat.

Idk it feels like my screen is made out of plastic or something, like when i press down hard(not too hard_ it bends and creates like an oil slick spot. It feels cheap idk if your tab is the same, i just got this back from samsung where they fixed the oil slick problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] theROMinator:
So, what you're saying is that you still have the oil slick problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fasty12:
only when i press the screen down real hard, otherwise its clear. Press on your computer screen hard, yea its that kind of effect. The screen feel plasticky and bending thats the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] decatf:
Then don't press down on it so hard. It''s an LCD screen. It is normal for it to distort just like a computer screen as you described.

It doesn't take much to register a touch so there is no need to be applying enough pressure to bend the glass.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Ha! exactly. The problem isn't the screen, it's that the OP needs a user's manual.

[Motorola Droid 3] Carld256:
Does anyone know what file manager comes with Verizon's version of the Droid 3? I'd like to use it on my Kindle Fire as it's got a nice clean interface and works just the way I expect it too, so no relearning anything.

I tried backing up the apk and moving it to my Fire, but it won't install. I'm assuming some graphical resources are missing or something like that, though I don't really know. I was hoping if I could identify it I could find a stand alone apk to install.

All I know about the program is that it's 92K on the phone, and is called simple "Files."

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
Files comes as a system app on our Droid 3s. This is probably why it won't install on your Fire or like you said because of graphical..etc.

If you have your device rooted, you could try to place the FileManager.apk in the system\app folder and set the permissions to Owner: Read/Write, Group: Read, and Others: Read. (You can do this using ADB as well) and reboot. This should install the app.

However I would suggest just trying ES File Explorer instead, it should be compatible with your kindle. Good luck
[Motorola Droid 3] Carld256:
Yes, I've got Es File Explorer and Astro File Manager installed, and while they work fine, I like Files' simplicity and look and feel.

It was worth a shot.

Thanks

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpirius:
First, thanks for all the amazing information on this site, it's an awesome resource to have.

I've been searching around for quite a while now trying to figure out how to get my gtablet working again and have hit a wall. Right now I can get into APX mode, but not CWM. First I tried restoring with nvflash following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Everything seems to work, but then I get stuck in a loop at the tapntap screen (It shows tapntap, then n, then tapntap, then n, etc). Next I tried to setup CWM with nvflash using this guide (other tapntap loop problems lead me to try this):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030042

But I have not been able to boot into CMW. The gtablet always goes back into APX mode. At the moment, it will boot into APX mode, and show the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices" in device manager, even when I only press the power button (and don't hold down volume -). Holding Volume + while turning it on also goes into APX mode. Everything I have tried just leads to APX mode, except trying to restore with nvflash, which leads to tapntap loop.

All of the similar problems I have found where solved with these steps, so now I'm not sure what else to try. I've also tried to restore from an external SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Every way I try to boot it it just goes into APX mode and ignores the SD card.

I've also tried this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974422

And I got the red message (which was exciting because it was finally something different :p), but still got stuck in a tapntap loop after restoring with nvflash.

Anyone have any advice or something else for me to try? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for reading
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
See this post.

After you've got CWM installed OK, boot into it, then partition the SD card (the internal one--remove any external microSD cards). This step will clear out the (internal) SD card. Misformatted or corrupted SD card partitions can also cause boot loops.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpirius:
Thank you very much for the reply :D

K J Rad's procedure had a detail that I was missing. I had to hold the Volume + key BEFORE running the nvflash command to add CWM to get it to boot into CWM. After that started working the rest fell into place.

Thanks again!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] EVOwulf:
How long might it take before we see a wiki for the Vivid? I do not typically post to forums and therefore have little navagation knowledge of them. For me the easiest way to find a ROM or update was to visit the wiki page first. I dont really need someone to teach me how to navigate this forum, I will figure it out eventually. :confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
My signature is a good start for info. Also look in the general knowledge sticky at the top of this section. Look in the development section for roms and kernels, they are clearly identified.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] EVOwulf:
I understand how to identify a ROM in the dev section. That isn't my concern. I suppose I am just used to the htc evo dev section that has a wiki that is updated by the devs. I know it's early for the vivid but I just rooted it, thank you slapshot for the superguide, and am getting antsy for more rom options. The wiki makes it really easy to make sure I am not missing a killer rom that is hidden on page 742 of the dev forum. Now obviously it has lost it's popularity if that were the case, I get that, but at least I still have that rom as an option. Know what I mean Vern?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Gotcha. Well until we get more roms, we don't really need a wiki. For our device right now, anything current is on the first page of the dev section. There aren't going to be any hidden roms. Heck, I don't think we have any more than 5 at the moment. I can see a need for a wiki with your old phone though, as it had a ton of action.

I'd like to hear from anyone that uses Fourth Bar Sense or anyone who has used the Bravia Engine that has been posted in the Dev section.

Is there much difference?

Would you like to see this in Fourth Bar Sense?

My first impression having not used it is that it probably slows the system down and uses more battery life because it isn't adding hardware, its just running EVERYTHING through some algorithm to make it look better. Let me know if you think otherwise!

Haven't tried it myself but I did read some comments from others that it made virtually no difference.

Has there been any news if this is going to be an international device?

I'm due an upgrade here in the UK soon and this would be my device of choice if possible... I'd feel a little cheated if I only had the 800 option open to me :(

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Nokia has officially announced the Lumia 900, the third handset in its Windows Phone 7-powered series – inhabited by the Lumia 800 and 710. It says the phone is designed specifically for the North American buyer, and is an LTE 4G phone headed exclusively to the US AT&T network. Not much use for us UK folk, then.

That the Lumia 900 is a US-only LTE device makes us sad pandas, but we're sure it won't be too long until an iteration upon this design appears in other areas of Europe, including the UK.

Ah well :/

Even in US this would be available only after a few months so I dont think we can expect something in UK for 3 - 4 months.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jhoff80:
Honestly, I'm not too impressed. I was hoping for a larger camera sensor than what's on the Lumia 800, preferably something like the N8. Plus, at least at launch it's limited to 16GB storage.

Is there a point in upgrade to Lumia 900 if you already have a Mango device?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
You mean a 2nd gen? All devices have Mango so I'll assume thats what you meant.

Then the answer is no. Wait for Apollo. You will see more from all the OEM's including Nokia, and you'll see dual core, HD screen resolutions ect out later this year.

[Windows Phone 7 General] SimzzDev:
The Samsung Focus Flash is a 2nd gen device. It's great, but the Lumia 900 has a faster processor, better camera, better screen, faster 4G, and other cool features. On the other hand, if you have a Titan or Focus S, the Lumia's nicer than those, but the difference isn't as big.

BTW, Titan II or Lumia 900? (My vote's for the Lumia)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Well, just rumors of coarse. Nothing official will be said about apollo for months.

Their leaked roadmap shows "superphones" to be released with Apollo. MS_Nerd tweeted that this will include some sort of higher resolution (maybe a factor of 1.5 or 2?). There have been a bunch of other blog posts on it, but of coarse if you are looking for proof there is none.

They also just officially added support for dual core phones a couple months back so you know thats coming.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
i think i am going to get the nokia lumia 900 and upgrade to something newer and better next year in 2013.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Excellent. Well maybe I'll just hold off, then. Was toying with getting a 900.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Apollo is rumored to bring support for 720p as well as support for Snapdragon MSM8960 (and apparently ST-Ericsson NovaThor and Samsung Exonys in a later update)

I'm hoping for my dream device: 720p, at least dual core, 1+ gig of RAM, and 32+ gigs of storage. Fingers crossed? :P

I do have an upgrade in April though, and the 1.4/1.5GHz processors in these 2G phones seem to address most of my performance complaints. Hopefully I can stay strong though.
