[General Questions and Answers] aramid:
i agree, but going multi-core is the future. it all depends on what apps you intend to run on your device. i just hope that battery technology can cope up with the rapid pace of mobile with multi-processors.

your unit may be uber quad-core fast, but would that last you for a day?
[General Questions and Answers] RubyRhod62:
It's just a question of use.

If you only use your phone to text, phone, and a little web surfing, just stay on a single core.

If you want to have an advanced use of it, playing games, web surfing fluently with flash plugins, an interface with smooth scrollings...And with evolving capacities, like said before, on new versions of ROMS with plenty of possibilities, just go for it. May be you will keep your device longer, and it will worth your extra 60 bucks.

You just have to find the good ratio use/long lasting/short lasting/speed.

;)
[General Questions and Answers] rbeavers:
A non dual core phone is like buying a non dual core computer only do it if it's your only option.

IMHO
[General Questions and Answers] Deez2312:
dual core advantages

Dual core definitely has its advantages especially running ICS where there is a demand for more power

GPU,s respond better with dual core tech..will be quite a while before quad core takes hold so dual is the way to go for at least a year:)..more like six months though I would expect.

I installed Ubuntu using Frank's Tools and got no errors, but now the tablet's screen simply won't come on. I've tried to go into recovery and NVFlash, but no results. I've charged the tablet repeatedly, but nothing happens upon pressing/holding buttons, not even when connected to my computer. I'm comfortable with BASh and DOS prompts. The tablet is a TF101, S/N is B50KAS.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone know a good post on CyanogenMod how to's and info I was thinking of trying it out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Well if you wanna know how too flash then I suggest just going to the development section and looking at the CM7 thread by the official Cyanogen Mod account.

It says how to flash and what to flash and other stuff.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultException:
You can always visit their official website: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

If you do end up flashing it to your phone, use a KANG, I think the lastest stable and nightly still have the 911 issue. (Because Vibrant support hasn't officially been reinstated yet)

You can find KANGs in the Vibrant Android Development section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhwandroid:
I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus thus far and am sure to be posting in these forums many times over the coming days (weeks, months, etc). I was hoping someone could recommend a good RSS app for me. I've always used an app called NewsRoom which I absolutely love but it seems the developer has pretty much abandoned it and it doesn't work well on ICS. The main thing I liked so much about NewsRoom was its ability to load all unread articles (and not just from one site/feed) in order from oldest to newest, and that it loaded full articles without having to follow a link to read the whole article. I could get all my news from all different places in the order it happened without having to leave ths app.

I've used NewsRoom for so long that I just can't get acclimated to any of the apps I've tried so far (unofficial greader, Pulse, currents) and was hoping for some suggestions. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brandonstuff85:
i know NewsRob is a pretty popular one, but i always find myself going back to the official reader app from Google.

i would take some caution though, per some comments in reviews it seems that its a bit wonky with ICS and may not let the phone sleep properly.

EDIT: NewsRob has the sleep/ICS issues - Offical Google Reader is A-OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hol17:
I use AtomaRSS myself and love the widgets. Easily synced with my Google Reader account and I pre-load all my articles so I can read them offline.

Another vote for Google reader here! I haven't bothered to try any others but Google reader works perfectly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgbc:
Another vote for google reader here, although i have it set to sync automatically and am not seeing excessive battery drain, the stock widget and the APW Reader widget are both good, go with APW if you like transparent widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canca14:
I have mine set for automatic sync too and haven't seen any impact on battery either. I have two news widgets on my home screen. I love turning my phone on and being able to see news right there on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PolyOlefin:
Personally, I'm a huge fan of Feedr. I've been using it for more than two years (starting with the Droid); it's the most customizable RSS reader I've seen, and it syncs with Google Reader.

I would use the official Google app if it wasn't lacking features, like a dark theme, title font options, or certain sorting features -- without needing a browser.

Here are some pics to give you an idea:

Google Reader is a very good free alternative too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
+1 for gReader

just in case anyone is wondering, Google Reader is DIFFERENT from gReader

I'm a bigger fan of gReader. My friend introduced me to it a while ago and have been using it ever since. Syncs perfectly with my RSS feeds, can do offline reading, and resizes pictures from the article to fit the screen nicely.

Give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnKuczek:
+1 for gReader. Also note that the paid version has a "dark" theme option which is better on the battery for the AMOLED screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orion2001:
I just tried Google Reader after all the recommendations on this thread (I use NewsRob in general) and I have to say that I'm surprised so many of you actually like it. It seems really jittery when scrolling through the listing of articles. I'm surprised that an app made by Google has such bad UI performance.

NewsRob is really really smooth. I'll go try gReader now.

Edit - gReader is also jittery when scrolling through the article list. I think the apps need to be updated for ICS. Newsrob is a lot smoother, and I know that the GN and ICS is capable of butter smooth scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] entropism:
I paid for Feedr and NewsRob, but got tired of them quickly. Been using gReader for a while now, and love it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoyohere2:
I used newsrob for the past 2 years but I'm about to quit. It is not optimized for nexus and will often times keep running preventing the phone from sleeping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Google Currents is good, but it is rather heavy. Instead what I do:

I use Google Reader for managing RSS feed subscriptions, it's a great little system and is rather straightforward. But I rarely use it for reading. I like it because I can do feed management on both my phone and desktop as a result.

For reading I use feedly, which is a brilliant little app that can load your feeds from Google Reader and display them you in a simple, friendly and attractive way. It's faster than Google Currents and also includes 'Essentials' section, which you can also browse after you have read your own RSS feeds and maybe spot something not covered by your own RSS.

feedly is also great in that it has auto-mark read option in the settings that marks all the articles as read if they have been flicked to the left while browsing through the RSS feed, without you opening the article. Basically it makes going through RSS feeds such a breeze.

So yeah, I love Google Reader and feedly combination. It also automatically works on HD screens, like tablets, making it sort of like a modern newspaper you yourself have designed.

It's on Android Market here.

I've been using "Reader HD" and been quite pleased -- it's a bit more "ICS" than some of the others out there.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jss24:
I recently switched over from CM7.1 to MIUI and am very pleased thus far.

I started with 1.12.9 as most people say that this is the most stable version. I was having some issues with 1.12.9 and figured I'd give 2.1.13 a shot. Well so far it is much better than 1.12.9 but I am still having some random FCs - most notably so far I can't access the Toggle Settings.

I read elsewhere that some of the builds are meant to be laid over the previous ones, whereas when I went from 1.12.9 to 2.1.13 I did a full wipe. Could this be the issue? Do I have to re-wipe everything, load 1.12.9 set everything up and then load 2.1.13 on top of it?

Also, handcent does not seem to be working with either version..

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] normanx:
I never had to do that, I never had the issues you speak of as long as you did a full wipe plus storage should be fine. Sorry i could not be more help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacster:
Toggle settings force closes is a known issue with 2.1.13, 1.12.9 is more stable and I get no force closes on anything. Just make sure you do the full wipe and dalvik, sometimes I even go further by:

format system

format data

format data/data

format cache

I would think doing full wipe is necessary for downgrading.

Impatiently waiting for ICS, I rigourously went through the process this evening of putting the US image on my Xoom in hopes of the upgrade path being opened up to upgrade to ICS (yes, I know various music services still won't work in Canada). I'm an expert at Linux, an experienced Android developer, and had the SDK already installed.

No problems going through the whole fastboot flash proces that is well documented in various postings here (I am working from Ubuntu 11.10 from a root account).

Side note: the USB cable does seem to need to be plugged into a rear USB port. It was a little unreliable from the front ports. Try this if you get the pesky error "Failed to process command error 0x120003".

After doing the oem lock step, the device fails to load the kernel. At this point I thought I had bricked the device as it wasn't clear how to get it back into the fastboot mode. Pressing PWR+Vol Down does work after somewhat of a pause.

Unlocking the device will allow the US 3.0.1 image to boot, however the 3.1 OTA updates downloads at this point but does not work - it gets you to the evil "green android triangle exclamation point" image. Dead end.

At this point you really have to download the Canadian 3.0 image and start back at square one and go back through the OTA upgrade path. I did notice along the way that the Canadian look/feel is slightly different from the US one and there are some Motorola add-ons. Why???

That's three hours of my life I'm not getting back. Wanted to save some other people the trouble: if someone were weak in their computer skills they could easily get stuck with a bricked device.

I'd be a happier customer if Motorola could let us know when the Canadian ICS update will be ready.

Hope this helps somebody.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
That's the thing. I checked all the logs for the ip of my phone with the firewall. It shows no logs of blocking it, so i am thinking it uses a port that our exchange server, vpn, or rdp uses or some of the other devices and the info is getting forwarded to them and disguarded instead of my phone. THat is why i need to know what the port is.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kim2rock:
As the title said, my Verizon Fascinate scans WiFi every 2-3 seconds and a MAJOR drain in my battery. I believe it started when I flashed EH03 radio, but not really sure if that's the main issue. I have TSM Resurrection 2.1 ROM installed. My kernel is right now geewiz-2.5-kernel (updated on 1/22/12) but I also used KGB-EH03-FA16 Kernel with the same problem. What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

Please help!!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
You can set your wifi scan interval in the build.prop, I know there are other ways to do it too. A quick googling should yield a more helpful answer regarding all the ways it can be done.

I thought it only scanned when it's turned on and not already connected to a network though, are you turning it off when you're not using it? I guess I can't really see how else it would be draining your battery.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemanwbs:
Turn off WIFI when not needed

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kim2rock:
Thanks! I will look up the build.prop solution to wifi scan issue. The problem is that it scans continuously regardless of whether it's connected to any network or not. And yes, I have to keep it turned off when I'm not using it.

*update* I checked the build.prop setting and it was set for 120. I'm assuming this is in seconds so shouldn't the wifi should only scan every 2 minutes??? I changed the setting to 600s=10min, but it still scans continuously :mad: What's going on???
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
You're correct, the interval you see in the build.prop is in seconds. If that isn't helping then I'm not really sure.. How can you tell it's continuously scanning? Is it an app you're using that shows this?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kim2rock:
The little wifi icon in the status bar keeps going on and off. And when I tried to used the market app, it constantly said I needed a wifi connection.

Anyways, after some additional investigation, I tried turning off and resetting my wireless router - and it worked!!! I'm not sure if that was the only reason for continuous wifi scan, but at least it's not scanning every 2-3 secs now. Well, it hasn't for the last 24 hours, so hopefully it will stay that way :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Glad it's sorted! I couldn't really tell from your posts exactly what was happening, but if it's doing that when you have wifi on and (hopefully) connected, then it sounds like more an issue with your wifi connection itself as opposed to just the phone's.

About the wifi scan interval in the build.prop, I believe that just refers to how often it will look for a connection when wifi is on, but not connected to a network.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkuehl06:
yes that is correct. I also agree with the issue being related to the wifi and not the phone. i hardly use the wifi on my phone but when i do, i never have that problem. i got grandfathered into the unlimited data from verizon, so wifi for me is pretty much useless.
