I want to switch to HSPL 3.03. Currently I have HSPL 2.08, can I flash over it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
You can't do anything with HSPL 3.03, it must be 2.08.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prime_225:
See this page:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1114053&page=83

and this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1114053&page=84

Anyways, flashed hspl 3.03 over 2.08. cLK and tytung' CM9 ROM booted fine and data was also more stable than the previous HSPL.

cLK doesn't have limitations as to which HSPL is installed. MAGLDR on the other hand does!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
In that case my bad, thanks for the info :D I still use MAGLDR but at least I won't make the same mistake in the future.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fouadi:
works with cLK1.5-rc0 HSPL 303?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Yes, it does work. But I don't really see that much of a difference though. I never had a data drop (cLK 1.4 and recently switched over to 1.5) and with 3.03 I still don't have drops :D .

So I'm back to 2.08. [In case of a sudden UltraFruit :p)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prime_225:
Works with every cLK

MHO the whole SOPA thing and americans' crackdown on piracy aint gonna stop it. Its up to the people themselves to decide whether they pirate or support. No matter how much effort or money the US or other governments waste on trying to stop piracy, its not going to stop. The online community has unlimited possibilites and there's always gonna be somebody that's gonna make a workaround, if you understand what i mean. All SOPA's gonna do is cause unnecessary inconvenience in the online world.

MegaUpload... hmm... i thought at first that it was a stupid move, I mean, there are loads of different file-hosting sites out there, why only take down MegaUpload? I mean sites like FileSonic and others that pay uploaders money for downloads are way more prone to illegitimate uses.

Alright so I read MegaUpload CEO's Kim Dotcom's bio, he does have quite an interesting history... A dual German and Finland citizen, holds permanent residency in both New Zealand and Hong Kong. He has multiple criminal records and has been charged more than twice or so for criminal offenses such as selling hacked telephone cards, credit card fraud, insider trading and embezzlement... in general, being a total smart arse:

In other words, he was a dirty business man with a bad reputation. I guess his criminal records would be the main reason why he was taken down first. I'm quite confident there are more coming.

As to how it affects me, it does a lot. I have quite a few files I need on MU... I don't have a premium account and would never buy one off them or anyone else, because I don't need it. I sure feel sorry for those who have a prem though...

^^ Again, this is my honest opinion.

Megaupload being taken down really sucks
[Off-topic] TheFes999:
Couldn't agree more!
[Off-topic] danman132x:
Yeah, it really sucks. Let's hope other file sharing sites don't get the same fate. Rapidshare etc. Not as good as Mega though... Here's my latest post on facebook lol

"Megaupload taken down by the Federal Government. ****ing ridiculous. The company was not EVEN BASED in the US. Is the US government now policing the rest of the world. They got the New Zealand police to arrest the founders, and the company base is in Hong Kong. How can they bring people from another part of the world, not even US citizens, and have them arrested... just adds to the bull**** with SOPA and PIPA. We are going to have a censored internet just like North Korea. **** THE US GOVERNMENT. DAMN. They need to get their priorities straight. Giving people years of jailtime for downloading music or small crimes, yet when someone murders someone you might get a year or two if your lucky. Something I saw someone post, download a Michael Jackson song and get 5 years prison, be the Dr. killing him and you get 1-2. smh.."
[Off-topic] bdfull3r:
The megaupload. Being taken down doesnt surprise me personally. Its like limewire, it was a really blatant piracy hub. There was legitimate business on the site but it was mostly a hotbed for stolen data.

There are plenty of other oprions. Rapidshare, filehippo, dropbox

Please stop posting that IP around. It's not real. The owners of the real MegaUpload have nothing to do with these "New MegaUpload" sites. Now for being stupid I hope you get a virus and have your bank account zeroed.

But seriously, do you really think they would put it back up right after it was closed? Someone just took a cached version to have the layout, put the text in there, and now they are thinking how to infect your computer and steal your money.

this rom requires that i need to convert file system to ext4 for best performance....so how to do that ???....and may it lose all my data ????....sorry for my bad english...:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nickg2027:
Download sgs kernel flasher from the market, use it to flash the community kernel v8. That will give you ext4 partitions. Then use CWM to install the ROM. your contents on both sd cards will be safe but emails and wireless passwords will be deleted, and all your apps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] namloki18:
does i really need to do that ?......is the performance will increase greatly ???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] goobieracing:
Are you running stock or are you on a from?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] namloki18:
i already flash this rom and i dont notice that requirement....now after read carefully...i'm so confused :confused::confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] goobieracing:
The kernel that came with the rom must have done it for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
You don't have to do anything. The kernel already made the changes for you.

when i charge my battery via adapter .......

sometimes instead of charging it starts discharing ......

idk what happens ...... !!!:confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] engr_exxi:
adapter?

is it the original wall charger and the usb data cable.?

i too had a problem with an ordinary usb data cable. it charges so sloow. like 1%/20 minutes.

better use the original accesories if its the original one and defective better return it for replacement.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It's probably a cabel problem. Charging occurs only when pins AC and Ground (1 and 5 AFAIK) are both connected, and often some of the pins stop working. If it's not a kernel of power supply problem (Which it probably isn't), it will be solved by simply changing the cable. Or if the cable works in usb charging, buy a new adapter (Make sure it's 5V before buying).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I had the original charger, then broke it...

I bought an USB to replace that(the connector was messed up)... but that charged slow, and discharge when using...(still on the original charger, but another cable)

For 2 months, I borrowed galaxy chargers, and any other friends with cables like mine, I asked them for the charger...

Then, I decided this must stop! I told my mom to find me a galaxy s charger (she was noob, doesn't know I can charge from non-lg cables)...

She found me one, and all fine...

But, before trying to buy one of those, go to a friend with a charger that fits Optimus one, and try it, if it charges faster, then buy a new charger;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cekuhnen:
interesting read

my mothers camera does not charge with a usb cable while when I put the cable in the camera the charge button is on.

I did not know there are still differences in USB cables ...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Our stock charger uses a wall "adapter" and an usb cable... it charges from usb, but the chargers that have no adapter (you can't remove the usb from it), charge lot better, I recommend using one of those... any samsung charger that "fits" in our phone is better than stock charger;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] virusshah1997:
In mine it charges rarely ! i had lg normal charger but it stops charging if i lift the cell nd use it! den took my moms samsung pop charger ..it worked fine for few weeks den again same problem arised :-S
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mikle85:
I lost mine. I bought 2 for one deal from ebay (noname cables) and they wont charge 30% during al night. So i told them it's faulty and they sent 2 another one. still no charge so i bought an htc one wich seems a bit better, but still not like the original. My friends lg optimus 3d cable was charged it full from ~70% in about 30 mins. His another htc cable was worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
I am running AMON recovery and never had problems with restoratiion of backed up ROMS. I flashed Clean ROM ICS yesterday and wanted to revert back to a GB ROM. The backup file restored with no error messages but after rebooting I got the white HTC screen followed by a dimly lit gray screen for about 5 minutes. I then tried another backed up GB ROM with similar results.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Flash the GB kernel... The Kernel can not be flashed from recovery... even from backups.

Kernels need to be flashed from fastboot, you can use the cleanflash tool to do it.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Thanks for your quick reply. Will try this later. Have never flashed kernels alone, hopefully not much more of a learning curve than flashing ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Did a search. Anybody help in locating stock kernel would be appreciated. Also do I flash this before or after restoring my GB based ROM?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If you grab Scott's CleanROM1.5 kernel(located in the ROM zip file) it is stock just with tweaks. It should still work with other ROMs. I always flash the kernel after flashing the ROM but I'm fairly sure it can work either way.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Thanks, I have Scott's already and will give it a try.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Thought I'd try a simpler path. If I just flash Scotts entire clean ROM after a data wipe, will that get me back to a GB kernel? Then I can restore one of my GB ROMS.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Still need to flash the boot.img from Clean rom in fastboot to get the kernel. Remember even with a wipe your not touching the kernel so the ICS kernel is still there regardless of the rom your flashing. So have to flash the GB kernel in fastboot either way.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Finally, got back. I flashed RezROM which includes a new kernel, modified stock then restored my GB backup. I see that this has been a more widespread problem and a thread has been started on the Development Forum.

Will definitely store a backup kernel on my SD if I plan to go back and forth between GB and ICS.
[HTC Rezound] random155:
Nice development... good to know that if one doesnt know how to flash the boot.img they can just flash rezrom and restore to their last GB rom.

Well I've been on my thunderbolt and I must say I love this phone to death!<3 but the thing is... my original two year contract is up when I got the OG Droid. My question is

Is it worth purchasing the galaxy nexus?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7ani:
Stick with nexus so you won't loss support for your smartphone as we saw from SE & Samsung for old phones

you can see youtube comparison

but If I were you I will wait s3

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
I'm also eligible for an upgrade, but have held off on the GN. It should be a great device going forward, but it didn't seem that compelling to me yet to use my upgrade on it. I'm really interested in the Droid 4 (keyboard envy here), but I'm not sure.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
After messing with the Rezound I am IMPRESSED to say the least.

My upgrade comes in March and the Rezound sounds perfect for what I want. I could careless about beats audio but everything else is top notch. When I messed with the Nexus it didn't nearly impress me as the Rezound did.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro|Tekk:
Galaxy Nexus. Tons of developer backing, awesome hardware, awesome build over all and ROMs galore at the moment. Can't put mine down :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemama1199:
Galaxy Nexus. Better display and a lot of activity going on in that forum. Also newest updates from google.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joefrog1996:
Everything about the galexy nexus is better. But the new HTC resound is better than all of them ( with the exception of no AMOLED display). The MOTO Droid 4 is a good choice if you like the Droid 3 keyboard (I hate the Droid 3 keyboard, the Droid 2 one is much better) and or MOTO blur (MOTO blur is my lease favorite version of android). If it were up to me I would get the rezound becuase it has HTC sense 3.5. And there as a lot of develpment for that phone.

I have a Droid incredible 2. I would pay the 650 for the rezound but it will be outdated in a few months sooo.....

I will save my money until my next upgrade (2014)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Google Android phone with Google support for at least 3 or more years > any other android phone.

In the long run, fresh software updates from the OEM will trump anything else (even better hardware).

Most of the Nexus Kernels havent done much to improve the kernel Google has put out for the Nexus so far just as an FYI.

Also, you won't see this for any non-nexus phone:

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

You just flash them in fastboot and you have instant updates from Google.

:)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
Neither... Id wait a few more months before you make a decision. Galaxy nexus will not be the only phone with Ics in a few months. Give about a month or two before the thunderbolt has data working on the ics ports and an even beastlier phone will be out and you wont be mad about jumping the gun. Happened to me twice I learned my lesson. I'm gonna be a very patient verizon customer and wait for the Samsung galaxy journal or the htc edge to drop (if it comes to verizon).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
I just want to pitch in as a T-Bolt owner for 9 months. I am strongly considering a Galaxy Nexus (if not, a close second would be the Droid 4). My reason has been the vanilla-android appeal (as a former Nexus One owner, I can attest to really disliking Sense UI after a while), and the hardware (save for the camera, but I don't use it much anyway).

Any thoughts on ppl transitioning from T-Bolt to GN?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeeperOfThePizza:
Considering the Thunderbolt is a outdated device and the Galaxy Nexus is pretty much the newest device out.. You can't really compare them..It's obvious I'd get the Nexus..and at this point I'd buy a Nexus S

Hi all..

I bought "Sony Tablet - 32GB - Wifi" from China ..

the tablet is awesome .. But the only drawback I found is the "Android Chinese market" ..

My question is: How do I install "Android Market - the English version?"

I Tried to delete the Chinese market but I could not ..

---------

This is the first time using tablet .. Please clarify the explanations ..

Thanks all ..
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
Welcome to the lucky few that have bought this wonderful machine.

I bought mine in usa, and got an american market. Ok, not much fuss about that, but when I got back home to Sweden it got transformed to Swedish version. All I had to do was change the language. Not sure if this helps much.
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
You can find a market.apk file on the XDA forums here but it sounds like it's locating you and making Chinese the default language. Try looking into settings in the market app or the tablet in general and turning off the "use my location" features which will probably override other settings...
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
Same thing..:(

Btw... the Chinese market called "HiMarket version 2"
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
any Idea :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
Did you try and change your locale or did you try and download the apk file and install it over te old one ?

might try this "location & security - My Locaton" uncheck all three.

"Language & input" change to another language, maybe uk if you have us and vice a versa.

"date & time" selecte a different timezone

Maybe this will help.
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
it did not, I tried it many times ..

I think i need to download an official Android market .. but i don't know how !
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
Where was it used first? It may be that it just remember the first use in china and maybe removing google account from sync in settings first, then clearing data from applicaations settings. Then adding google account again and starting market on a usa wifi will fix all for you. If it still goes not help try what happens if you start a weblink to a market app from somewhere here. It should give you an option to run via browser or market-see if that could be a workaround.
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
the first use was in china...

I did what you've explaned, but still the same problem ..

I am tired of this .. :(
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
Sounds like you have tried most of it.

Have you concidered trying to do a reset/factory reset? See if that helps.
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
Yes, I did...

Could anyone upload an apk android market for me?

After installing the Market.apk I get a pop-up asking to add an account and either option just closes the Market. I tried going to the Android Market through the internet browser but whenever I try to download something it says I don't have an Android device connected to the Google account. I have also tried setting up my Google account through the email option in the tablet but it still says I have no Android device synced

How to solve this issue?
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
Any Idea??
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
Try manage applications > market >clear cache. then clear data.

then do the same for download manage, now that you have a diff market installed it might have crappy data lingering around.

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

OR if there is anything in applications such as account or accounts and sync, clear cache and data of that too!
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
OK so this information will probably not help you at all, but on the Milestone 2 forums, a member flashing a chinese leak gingerbread update reported that there were no google account menus, no market and had an alternate market called apps2you or something.. can't remember. Anyway, he said once he installed the market.apk it would only crash and do things like what you described. Unfortunately no-one in the thread responded about that issue.

I'm starting to think you may need to get on a different firmware...

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

Ok just found this article

Summary: You need root access to enable a proxy hack as a work around to access the english market

Alternative is using the Chinese market.
[Sony Tablet S] wee250:
Hi

Hi i think i can answer your question, the answer is no, you cannot use any google service or software in your andriod system which bought in China, the reason is that because of the conflict between google and Chinese government, the Chinese government had decided to banned any google service running in China, those including google search, gmail, google map and all google service in andriod sysytem, so thats why you cannot install andriod Market in you tablet. Even you may find andriod market from somewhere, but you still cannot install it, because to install google software or service, you need rooting right to put the google service frame into the andriod system with system authority not application authority(e.g.you install a game). Thereofre before your tablet s1 root, you cannot use any google service on you tablet s1. Hope this help.
[Sony Tablet S] bonafidesupraman:
Hey, having the same problem, and pretty sure it's due to the government thing. I spoke to some helpline who said the only thing to do is live with it.

However, perfectly willing to root the thing, maybe even give it ICS update if possible?

The thing is, will the software be sufficiently similar for the same rooting technique to work? Or will it just screw up what I have left of the system?
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
Just change the language and the market will change accordingly,as simple as that! My wife and I use the tablet ,I prefer to use English while she prefers Chinese so we change language while uzing it. We find no problem with the android market languages:)

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Not all google services, my friend in China uses gmail to send email to me!

The problem here is he has android market but it is in Chinese and he wants an English version.
[Sony Tablet S] bonafidesupraman:
believe me, that was the first thing I tried, but it doesn't change it. It isn't android market or google play, it's "HiMarket".

I may just go for it and root the thing. I'll let you know how it goes...

Update: Struggling with this...used to think I was pretty computer literate but now....
