If "#cat brain | grep -i clue"

Great windows commands. Just open terminal in windows and try for yourself !

I'm a big fan of

"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"

to really speed up a system

(That's a joke, please don't try it on anything Unix based)

And seriously, this happens with all popular devices, people come out of the wood works and continually make new threads over and over. Soon as Asus unlocks the boot loader OUR community will fix most of THEIR f$%k ups, as usual.(to an extent, broken hardware can't be fixed with software)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
It's surprising that there haven't been more announcements of devices using Teg3. Qualcomm, TI, and Samsung are all working on next-gen chips due out in 2012 too. Samsung moved away from Teg as soon as 3.2 let them. MWC in February is where big mobile announcments should be made. For Nvidia's sake, let's hope there's more than the current handful of devices announced there. Based on a target of 25MM to be sold in 2012, they're off to a very slow start.

On a side note: The device is still new and all this is typical. **** will die down after a few months, so ease up eh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Yeah, I have the Atrix with fauxs OC and Revolution Rom. I guess that's what I was getting at, with nvidia being a graphics leader and semi household name, you would think more companies would love to have that logo on their product. Since it seems that companies are looking elsewhere it makes you wonder if Tegra 3 will really be that much of a game changer?

As I posted in another ***** whine and moan thread:

Guys - the level of mudslinging needs to end. The next person who challenges this will find themselves enjoying a short vacation from XDA. You don't like your device - fine - do something else with it. Stop whining. Go away.

You like your device - fine - enjoy it. You are not being paid by Asus to promote their product, so don't feel like you need to get all hot and heavy and "come to their defense". It's the internet.

XDA Mantra

XDA-Developers exists for the developers and you come here and contribute of your own free will. Period. You don't like it - don't participate. You don't like that - go somewhere else. There are plenty of places that would gladly welcome your whining and complaining.

Let's break this down a little bit here - XDA is....

XDA is a developers site

XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only

XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relavent info. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix".

XDA is not....

XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.

XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.

XDA is not your friends house

XDA is not a democracy

XDA is not a place to make Money.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxrage:
problem: certain area of the touchscreen jumps when pressed. In my case it's over s and z of the keyboard in vertical mode.. effectively preventing me from typing s or z.

possible cause: that's exactly the area that I use to scroll. so it's definitely a high usage area.

quick research: humidity can cause screen to do weird things like that.

quick solution: wrapped the phone without battery in plastic wrap and dumped it into a container used to hold dried almonds along with 2 packs of those humidity absorbers that you aren't suppose to eat.

well. wish me luck

[HTC Sensation] ricky103:
Is their any way to get the mhl adaptor working with a component cable rather than HDMI? I have tried with an HDMI to component cable but this does not trigger the Sensation to turn on TV Output, only the HDMI cable triggers the TV output. Reason being that not all TV's have HDMI and i have a great idea to rig up the phone to my car stereo screen so i can view google maps, rather than balance my phone on the dash. Perhaps a hack exists to manually turn on TV Output?
[HTC Sensation] ricky103:
Perhaps a way to manually turn on the TV out on the phone would force it to work?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
No, HDMI = digital, component = analog, so you'll need another converter box after the mhl that not only converts digital to analog, but can seperate the signal into a component type output.

Got the information from here

www.xda-developers.com/android/goog...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/

Google Engineer Debunks Myth : Wiping Battery

Stats Does Not Improve Battery Life

There you have it, in the title. Google engineer Dianne

Hackborn, who has previously explained Android’s hardware

acceleration , took to Google+ again to clarify some myths

about the Android operating system. This time, it’s a point of

common advice that you’ll see in virtually every FAQ thread

about custom ROMs and flashing: wiping battery stats in

order to improve battery life.

The reasoning behind that piece of advice was something like

this: If you, at some point, did not charge your Android

device fully (for example, only to 80%), it would supposedly

remember that battery level as “fully charged” – in this case,

you’d only ever get to use 80% of your battery, which is of

course less than optimal. So, if you wipe the battery stats,

usually done in ClockWord Mod Recovery, the device would

“forget” the previous level, here 80%, and instead charge to

the full 100% once again, thereby re-calibrating the battery.

Or, as Hackborn puts it in more technical terms:

The battery indicator in the status/

notification bar is a reflection of the

batterystats.bin file in the data/system/

directory.

However, as she explains, that’s not the case. Because those

battery stats, stored in the batterystats.bin file, are only used

to maintain information about what is using the battery when

not recharging. That is, it essentially holds the information

displayed in the Settings > Battery screen. Nothing more,

nothing less. Thus:

It has no impact on the current battery level

shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.

What’s more, you’ve probably noticed that the battery usage

data is reset once you recharge your device anyway. From

this you can correctly deduce that the battery stats are

wiped as well – every time your device is recharged. More or

less every day. If there was any effect, you would’ve noticed

it without going into recovery and doing that stuff. Typical

placebo, eh?

[Nook Touch General] Karibou3:
Hi everyone, I've been trying to root my nook2 and I've been over all the steps many times, and I can't achieve ADB over USB or WIFI.

I've used the nooter technique and the device looks rooted, I can log into Gmail and get new mail, but as youtube is blocked in China, I can't login to youtube as i'm supposed to in the process described on nookdevs. (is youtube loging really important?)

I can install apps from the market, but can't use the search field (no results, no matter what I type).

I decided to try adb access from there anyway (before asking for help...), and here's where I'm stuck :

I installed the light sdk combo found here : "hXXp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910008" and followed all the steps

I can connect to the device using wifi ADB, but the shell cmd doesn't get me anywhere (I get a hash mark and an endlessly flashing underscore)

I can't get adb access over USB, because no matter how many times I try uninstalling the basic drivers in the device manager(all of them), they always come back within 5 seconds when I plug the nook (and yes, I seem to have disabled automatic driver update in Gpedit.msc)

when I try to load the adb drivers manually over the preexisting ones it tells me no suitable drivers where found in my *.inf file (or that it already has the best driver for the device)

I've been over everything (apparently) countless times and I'm still stuck.

do you have any idea what the problem could be?

If I had to guess, it's either :

-It's not completely rooted (for lack of youtube login) so it will always be recognized as a Nook and nothing else in the device manager

-the factory defaults nook drivers are lurking somewhere on my laptop and prevail over the adb_usb drivers.

-there is another move to disable automatic drive install in Gpedit.msc which I haven't attempted yet.

Please if you have any ideas... My nerdy ego is absolutely hurt by this and it's begging for relief.
[Nook Touch General] Karibou3:

and here the ones you should read:

Hope it helps.

For the youtube thing, just set adb correctly (when you get it right) sideload an app to use a proxy, or tor, or anything you like, and try to login on Youtube.
[Nook Touch General] Karibou3:
I'm really sorry for not responding to this

I managed to get it rooted in the few days after my post, and I didn't any email notifications of your replies (didn't check on control panel, i'm new here, please don't hurt me :D )

I found a chinese source for rooting (a seller on taobao.com explained it. The Chinese are quite fond of the nook because it's the only foreign e-reader you can use to read Chinese apparently, and Chinese e-readers are both more expensive than the nook AND crappy.

Anyway I painstakingly translated it and got it to work

what you tell me about the proxy is new to me though, I thought android couldn't run a proxy, that's great news not just for youtube but the zillions of website China blocks and that I could use my nook to check, I'll have a go at it when I get near a wifi network.
