[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kramonte:
Hi,

You really should root your Nexus. I was on stock ICS before and had barely a day of battery. Now I'm on Petes Buggless Beast with steven garons kernel. I Love it, everything runs flawless, stable, smooth(better than stock) and with medium usage i have 2 days with my nexus. Even more when i only do some calls and some pulse reading and some maps usage.

Youll find all the guides you need in the general section.

Here are some pics of my battery with little usage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tesket:
Hello,

I have now rooted and installed Matr1x kernel.

Then I am running stock 4.0.3 with Matr1x kernel. I downloaded NStools and activated Deep Idle. Lets see if that will improve my battery time :-)
[HTC Sensation] bukos:
Hi,

I had a rooted s-off Sensation that was previously running CM7 alpha build and a couple of days ago was upgraded to Virtuous Quattro alpha 3.

I had all the correct firmware installed from RUU 3.24.401.1, and Quattro was running without any major problems.

I was playing with settings for SMS go pro, and the phone froze. I gave it a couple minutes to defrost, but nothing took. So I removed the battery and restarted the phone.

It vibrated and I awaited the HTC white splash screen but nothing, it kept the lights off but it would vibrate every 20 -30 seconds like it was booting up.

I let it run for 30 min thinking it would fix something. I took the battery out, took the sim card and sd card out. I charged it from the wall, from a computer, booted with a computer that has Android SDK on it.... nothing.

T-mobile is sending me a new one. But I just want to figure out what happened.

Any insight?
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
turn it on and let it just sit for 20 minutes. ive seen an inspire 4g do this

EDIT: didnt read OP's full thread. My bad
[HTC Sensation] messawood:
Don't know when you updated your firmware since the new way doesn't require SuperCID that should not be the problem.. But was wondering have you tried to return to recovery and flash CM7 again?
[HTC Sensation] bukos:
I don't have access to recovery. The phone loops in the boot cycle before hboot is initialized
[Networking] good4y0u:
he asked what app i used ( i said none of course) and when in reality i didn't hit "hide on PDA net" but he asked if i used MIFI.

( i got out of this by saying i put my sim into another phone and it must have done something odd because the phone was an OLD phone that was having issues)
[Networking] TJBunch1228:
Was there a point? What did the rep say about tethering?
[Networking] galaxys:
Makes no sense...what are u trying to say?
[Networking] good4y0u:
I was just saying what the rep said. I don't know much about it but people seem to be collecting these experiences on xda from what IV been reading about so I figured I'd add my 2¢
[Networking] Babydollll:
I still have no clue what you're talking about. Your first post is confusing,and your second doesn't clarify anything.
[Networking] good4y0u:
Sorry,what im I'm trying to say is that there asking about it in depth now and automatically assuming you'r trying to do wrong. I'm only informing anyone who wanted to read what I was told.
[Networking] tyler79durdan:
??? looks like a "bad trip" post to me... ???

Give him some credit... at least he came here instead of wandering through a forest while he was on that trip.
[Networking] good4y0u:
"Bad trip" post? What does that mean?
[Networking] Maroon Mushroom:
As in it looks like you ate a bag of mushrooms soaked in LSD and posted your thoughts on XDA.

And I'm an AT&T employee if you have any questions about Tethering.

And no, that doesn't mean I understand your first post.
[Networking] ridethisbike:
he's talking about you being on drugs. havent you ever seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
[Networking] chrischoi:
Most employees of carriers don't really care about you tethering. Sometimes they will tell you to get the sale. Sometimes even if they tell you, the end user is not able to perform the task.

Really, we don't care. Do it if you want. We're not reporting you or notating on your account that you are tethering for free.

This is like the carry threads on CC/OC forums. Like children saying, I open carried today. This guy stared at me and a kid asked if I was a cop. TEHE.

But really, I don't work for ATT. I work for another carrier. Reps would rather earn your trust for you to keep coming back to them. There's a internal war going on with Store Sales Reps and Customer Care / Over the Phone Reps. We'd rather have you deal with us in the store.
[Networking] Maroon Mushroom:
You have no idea how many customers come in trying to hide the fact that they rooted / jailbroke / have installed tethering apps on their phones.

We really do not care. At all. It's your computer, you know the TOS, do what you want to do.

It only bothers me when they directly lie about it to me and I have to call them out on it....
[Networking] good4y0u:
Ahaha oh I get it now. Yah i posted this when I got home from a physics midterm so that was most likely why. And I actually do have a question every rep i have spoken to Gave me a different answer to this: what does teathering actually cover. Is phone to car Bluetooth teathering? One rep said yes another said no. Would plugging the Asus padphone into its dock (basicly just a bigger screen n battery) be teathering like on he atrix ?)

I even asked my friends mom who works in the corporate part she had almost no idea and said the obvious hotspot answer.

(Sorry for errors still getting used to the prime keybored)
[Networking] Maroon Mushroom:
I guess we will see. If AT&T sells the setup, then I would have a hard time imagining us calling that tethering.

But most likely in our system it would be detected as tethering.

We'll see!
[Networking] good4y0u:
How would that be detected? Wouldn't the data be ending at the device? ( I very much dislike what companys have done to data plans) it is still a confusing topic.
[Networking] ridethisbike:
one way it can be detected are through packet headers. when you're tethering, all your device is doing is acting as a router. it doesnt modify anything (although i'm sure there's an app for that).
[Networking] good4y0u:
Pdanet? Doesn't it have a hide function? I have heard of that. I do think that u.s carriers are going to start going overboard with this though.
[Networking] emoore254x:
So the other day I was told that ATT could see your tethering through the Wifi Tether app (one that isn't supposed to use standard tethering protocols) is this true?
[Networking] cajunflavoredbob:
You guys should shop around with T-Mobile if you are that concerned about tethering. I was offered a plan that was $5 cheaper than the one I'm on two days ago. The new plan would have been unlimited voice/text and 10GB/month data with unlimited tethering. It was offered by the phone CS rep. The price was $55/month. I didn't take it since I don't want to be on contract. He said the normal price of the plan was $65. All I was calling for was to ask when I originally signed up with T-Mobile, since it's been so long that I forgot.

Also, my current plan is 1000 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data with tethering for $60/month.

Just food for thought. T-Mobile reps, like any other carrier, could care less whether or not you tether.
[Networking] good4y0u:
This Is an older post of mine. There is my data plan and usage on it.also the rep I talked to like freaked out about it O.o

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alzaq:
I put here my experience to install any ROM on your U8800Pro (these also applies to U8800 but you need the official GB)

To upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3

[you can use the following when you have any problem in installing a new ROM on your mobile (or if you have a blue secreen) ]

1. Download this archive (190MB) http://www.multiupload.com/NIIJC5BK83 which conatins two files od the official GB 512: U8800PV100R001C00B512G00.zip (you can also download it from the Huawei but it is too slow and the provided docements in chainees)

2. Extract it on your

external sdcard

(format it in fat32). this means that inside dload folder there must be two files namely UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_g.APP

Note: I have tried several times to copy the extracted file to internal memory (emmc) via adb push command but it fail due to the large file of UPDATE_g.APP (375MB) therefore use any external SD

3. Put the sdcard in your mobile again and turn it on while pressing three buttons at the sametime vol+, vol- and power button. This is the pink screen mode.

4. The update to the official 2.3.5 (the B512 which can be rooted) should start and your mobile will be rebooted. This step will take about 3 min to complet

5. After finishing turn your mobile on. IDEOX splash secreen will be presented (may take 1 - 2 min) after that android splash secreen will appear.

6. Root your mobile. to root your mobile, you can follow this steps of That-Guy'a thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

İF you tried to install CM7 or MIUI from the recoverry mode you can get an error

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:verification failed

Installation aborted

Therefore you need to re-copy ClockworkMod v5.5.0.4 (you can use linux to copy the file .cust_backup/image folder while you are in pink mode)

also you can find another version (CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7) on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343276

7. You will now able now to install CM7 or MIUI.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] soundimpressions:
I am waiting for my Evo View to get here and thought I should get the SD card before it got here. I also firgured a new class 10 for EVO 4 would be a good idea. I got a 32 GB class 10 and a 16 GB class 10 for $62 including shipping for both cards.

I spent a lot of time shopping for these and this was by far the best price I found.

Here's the link:http://search.directron.com/newsearch.php?find=micro+sd+class+10&fromsection=1&within=

I hope this helps or saves someone some time..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gordonzhao:
Good find, though I think I would feel more comfortable purchasing from Newegg for $2 more for the same Patriot one or $45 for the PNY with better ratings. I've just never heard of Directron and there are a lot of merchants out there that sell cheap memory.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mpiftex:
I agree with gordonzhao. With the number of fake microSDHC cards out there, it's worth the extra couple bucks to purchase from a reliable seller (Amazon, Newegg etc). Additionally, 32gb class 10 is very tempting but the failure rate is still pretty high for these cards.

I'm in the lookout for at 32gb card for my View, but I think I'll go for a Sandisk Class 4 from a reliable seller as soon as it drops under $30. :)

Deals on microSDHC pop up every couple days, so if you're in the market for on, keep an eye at slickdeals.

Edit: Newegg has the Patriot Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10 for $29.99 after $10 mail-in rebate (expires on 2/3/12) and free shipping. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547

I'm still holding on for a Sandisk.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
This place has some of the best day to day prices and all the top brands.

Other than Sandisk everyone uses Samsung chips as Samsung is the leading maker of nand memory and always innovates first in this field.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] soundimpressions:
SD cards arrived today via UPS. in brand new sealed Patriot packaging (I had to use a razor knife to get them open). Every once in a while I take a chance on a supplier, of course I do this a lot more than once in a while. I own an electronics repair shop and I don't always find parts at a mainstream supplier. I've only once been screwed, and it was a highly rated eBay seller. I never got the item, but eBay returned the money. Anyway, the SD cards are perfect. I put the 16GB in my EVO4 and the 32GB in my EVO View. they work perfect, I even copied my files from the 8GB I took out of the phone. it was a class 2. I can't believe the difference in how fast the phone is now. So I can verify Directron is for real and they do deliver quickly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gordonzhao:
Kudos on the great find then! I'm on the boat with a Sandisk or Kingston 32gb, either class 6 or 10, maybe even a uhs ; ) I could live with a class 6, but what I really want is reliability more than the class 10.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
You think counterfeiters can't make knockoff Patriot packaging? I wouldn't take anything for granted until you fill the card up to capacity (or close to it). The counterfeiters have gotten very good at their craft.

I have no doubt that there are good, legit, lesser known retailers out there that deserve business. But SD cards are one of the most counterfeited electronics items. I wouldn't risk it to save $2. Especially since Newegg is so freakin awesome. Most items ship free, and get to my house the day after I order it (despite picking standard shipping). And if anything goes wrong, their customer service is top rated.

Agree on Newegg, but not on PNY. PNY stuff is trash. I've owned 2 of their products, an SD card and a thumb drive. The plastic casings on both broke apart after just a few months of normal usage. I will never purchase another PNY product again.

Directron is OK, I used them many times in the past.

Texas guys, pretty honest.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] soundimpressions:
If they are counterfeit, then kudos to them. They both have the full advertised capacity, and I had a class 2 8GB in my phone(the class ten is notably faster for loading my apps and files), and the packaging, if it is fake, is far better than I have ever seen done on any fake of anything faked..... I am satisfied. Just wanted to share a good price.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Naw, if its got the advertised capacity, its likely legit. The usual counterfeits MO seems to be buy cheap low capacity cards, change the screen printing on them to read a higher capacity (and even mod them so they report that capacity to the device), and package them. I suppose its also possible that they may misrepresent the transfer rate/class. But I haven't seen cases of that reported, just the faking of the capacity.

And from the previous response, it seems that seller is a decent one.

Just making the point, take nothing for granted on the internet. In particular, SD cards and phone batteries seem very frequently faked, since its pretty easy to re-mark and repackage them as being a higher capacity then they actually are.

When I transfer data to the class 10 cards I bought, they actually transfer a little above 10mbs. Pretty happy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Remember that the Class just refers to write speed (not read), which only affects tasks such as HD video cam recording, and copying files.

Also, Sandisk cards consistently outperform higher class cards from other manufacturers, and often much more reliable. I've run several Class 4 Sandisk cards on my HTC phone and Flyer, and never noticed it affecting performance including lots of video playback and some video cam recording. Always smooth with no hiccups. Although I never video record for more than a minute or so, so not sure if it will eventually need to buffer for longer recordings at higher resolutions.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

It would have to, in order to meet the spec. The way memory is manufactured, its never going to be EXACTLY 10 MB/s.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gordonzhao:
I just picked up 2 of the Samsungs, there were only 2 left as well, ran a benchmark on one of them and got 9.1/19. Pretty good especially for $35+tax and a 5 year warranty which was the best part. Thanks for turn heads up again .

Hey guys, someone just posted this over in the Evo 3D forums and I thought I'd share it here as well. There's no way to know if it's 100% legit or not, but they claim to be selling a 32gb microsd Samsung Class 10 for $15.98 with free shipping. The location is Beijing so it might take a little while. If it is indeed legit, then this is easily the best price I've ever seen.

Samsung Class 20 32gb on eBay

At that price its almost worth the risk I think.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
Just yesterday, I bought the Sandisk 32gb Class 4 from Amazon for $30 shipped. After your post, I considered cancelling the shipment, and going for the ebay Class 10.

...but I think it's just way too good to be true. With every legitimate business selling Samsung Class 10 cards for at least 3 times the price...you have to question someone who would price the cards so low. It just doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint. Even if they did get a huge stock of microsd cards for real cheap, why not offload them for $30? They would still sell like hotcakes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
My gut says that something that cheap either has to be fakes or stolen (or otherwise ill-gotten) goods. Like you said, makes no sense for a legit seller to do this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bagelicious:
I think you guys are probably right. The item location says "beijing, China" and while the seller has 100% feedback in the last 12 months, it seems too good to be true.

I also found out that this same seller has a 64GB microSDXC card for $18.88... The cheapest I've found online is about $150. One guy in the EVO 3D forums said that Best Buy had them on sale for $99 a couple months ago but its back up to $199 at Best Buy now. So if he's selling that for $19 when it could easily sell for $150+... probably something sketchy going on.

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. lol

Just for info

I have these 32GB+ cards

32GB Class 4 Sandisk

My original 32GB, very stable

32GB Class 10 Patriot

Gets corrupted easily, forcing you to wipe the card a lot usually when it reaches around halfway full. Known to have issues with android phones,

32GB Class 10 Samsung

Just got it recently, haven't really put it to a stress test.

64GB Class 6 Sandisk

Just got it recently, write speed from PC to phone is around 4MB/s on a USB3.0 but man... the size is so worth it.

Has anyone had trouble with the Class 10 32GB cards? I've read that Android and Windows Phone had some issues with Class 10 (32GB only) cards and they had to push out updates to some devices. I'm leaning toward the samsung- anyone confirm they've had no problems with the View/Flyer- and is it worth the extra dough over the lower class speeds? My main gripe is my class 2 takes forever with Nandroid backups.

How is this HD as compared to the boot animation that came with the ICS update to the Xoom? Is your gif just a representation? Or is it the size of your "HD" animation, if that is the case, wouldn't it be upscaled to fit the screen and look blurry like the other one?

Please explain.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] flukeSG2:
So since OP never answered, I downloaded and unzipped the file images are 960x540 in image size, so these are most definetly not "HD" like the OP claims them to be. They will be the same fuzzy boot animation we already have that came with ICS update to the Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rubber guard:
is there proof a larger resolution version exists?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alex_72gr:
The boot animation in EOS is only 1.7 mb and this is 19 mb and there is no space is it possible to make it smaller?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] majdinj:
Here is the smaller version

http://www.mediafire.com/?k0bwtca63m46fvq

By the way you can increase the size of system partition by deleting some unnecessary files like video folder in \system\media

also if you are not using 3G model of Xoom, you can delete Ringtones folder in \system\media\audio

By doing these steps, you will free about 10 mb from system memory

Good Luck
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alex_72gr:
Thanks nice tips

Can I also put it in /data/local?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] majdinj:
I did't try this myself but there are somebodies try it and they said it works..

You can try it and tell us about result later..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flukeSG2:
Not to my knowledge, which is why I found this thread to be misleading. The xoom screen is 1280x800 so anything smaller doesn't seem to fit the "HD" bill. This is the same boot animation that comes on the ICS update for the xoom, so why we would need to download it again is beyond me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] majdinj:
Yes it is 960x540 but not like fuzzy boot animation that came with ICS update to the Xoom.. Just install it to your Xoom and you will see the difference (better to make comparison between 2 Xooms running these boot animations).. It is much much better than that one coming with official ICS..

I hope you are satisfied now my dear friend and I hope if you can find us a better resolution one, to post it to us.. We are all waiting.. :cool:

Hope you the best :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] morbos:
Unless I missed the boat by a long shot, 3G/4G doesn't have stock ICS and our options are third party, so this is useful.
