Does anyone know any decent android tablet friendly SNES emulators?

With SNESoid the L+R shoulder buttons are in a ridiculous spot when playing on a 10" device,

and there is no way to move them near the rest of the buttons like N64oid as far as I know.

Any suggestions?

Hi , i have HD2 with android rom that is locked to T-Mobile USA

i wanted to know if i buy unlock code (20$) and type it in the android rom will it unlock the phone or do i need windows mobile Rom ? because i can not flash windows mobile rom any more due to the volume button is destroyed ( the sticker that clicks is lost / both of them )

can i buy network unlock code and use it in android rom directly ?

Since using AndyX 3.0 rom on my SGS2 bluetooth is fully functional with my homestereo (not like the post from Omolyume where it guited after 58 seconds) but i can't pair with my car system (Renault Laguna with the built in navigation, stereo, phone system). They see eachother but theu can't pair. It keeps on saying PIN is incorrect while the pin is 1234 by default and i've tried it at least ten times. Anybody a solution for my problem?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacentre:
I am unable to send sms but can receive on my rooted Galaxy Note N7000.

When I check the Phone Information by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, the SMSC: field is blank.

If I click on refresh, it returns "00".

If I attempt to enter the number manually it just returns "update error".

I'm assuming that the number should be stored on the SIM card and for some reason the phone can't read/access the stored number. This happened once before after rooting the phone and all I had to do then was hit refresh and update. I did see that the SMSC field was blank when I re-checked it later, though, but sms was working correctly.

I tried installing Gingerbread 2.3.6. The Settings > About Phone confirms 2.3.6

but

1. it made no difference to the SMSC problem I describe above

2. all my settings, data and apps are still there.

3. the phone is still rooted.

I assumed all that would get wiped with a f/w upgrade. The instructions I followed said the phone would be reverted to non-rooted. I guess I must have got something wrong.

I talked to a guy at my local telco today. He spotted that the phone was rooted so was quick to blame that (maybe correctly) as the cause. However, when I showed him the settings page revealed by the *#*#4636#*#* string, he thought this was some software app I'd installed myself and not the phone's f/w till he typed the string on his own phone and saw it for himself.

Can anyone suggest a fix? Un-rooting? Wait for the next official Android upgrade for my phone/region?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anath:
I've noticed an unusual issue across various roms and kernels (including stock) I use setcpu to fix clockspeed at 1200 (both sliders set to 1200 and governor set to performance), when playing intensive games such as modern combat 3 or FPSE for a while and then looking at cpu spy i notice that the cpu has actually clocked down to lower speeds at various stages. This causes noticeable lag with FPSE.

This only seems to happen when playing intensive game apps. Has anyone experienced this or know why this could be happening?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
What temps you have when playing? Is your CPU overclocked? Sounds like CPU throttling to me.

Pray with me together: "Oh God, please send us gokhanmoral and tegrak to Galaxy Nexus forums here at XDA, so they can create a superb kernel and 2nd Core app that will save our GN from burning to ashes while gaming. Thank you, enjoy your weekend".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anath:
CPU is not overclocked, just fixed at 1200 using setcpu so it should not throttle down, this is what puzzles me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
No no no no, you can't install some app (SetCPU) and tell it "burn my CPU" :) That's hardware level protection and you can not bypass it that easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anath:
setcpu is commonly used to control the clockspeed so if I set it to 1200 with performance governor this is what the clock rate should stay at irrespective of what app is running - and it does exactly this all the time except when i'm playing intensive games where it seems to throttle down to lower various levels.

This is just a way for me to maximise performance albeit at a cost of power consumption.

I'd be grateful if anyone else with setcpu and cpuspy could test this playing an intensive game. Not sure if its an issue with my G Nexus or perhaps I have misunderstood how setcpu works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Wrong. Overheat protection works at hardware level and it always will have higher priority then any app. Same way works desktop CPU's: you can set desired clock in BIOS, but CPU will throttle it self if temperature exceeds (for example) +80C and there's a reason for that!

Before replying i tested that myself and there was noticeable CPU throttling after temp went over +40C or so.

EDIT: to backup my words - external link

"Dynamically controlled voltage, frequency and power based on device activity, modes of operation and temperature"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wish777:
makes sense...nice call...is there a throttle governor hack?...to allow us gamers to have the values up a little higher?..i know its not good but is it possible...good thread and help here thank you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
Even if there was a way to get around the issue (if its indeed temperature throttling) you wouldn't want to do it unless you want a to a brick.

NVFLASH was detecting the phone. The phone's capacitive buttons would light up when the connection was made. But I didn find SGR's Bootloader file anywhere, else would have tried to flash it. I read somewhere today that not clicking "Re-partition" option while using odin might corrupt the bootloader. But it had been weeks since I had used odin(CWM installation). So in no case the bootloader was damaged by odin. The thing to investigate is how come suddenly the phone goes into this mode, without any change in settings or modification ??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
It all depend how you use your phone. Sometimes I it for hours on end and go through 2-3 batteries a day (I have 3 spares).

Today I used it very little. About 7 phone calls, 2 messages and only about half an hour browsing / xda etc. Currently on 85% after 18 hours.

So usage makes a massive difference.

do you think is there a need to change the Kernel version ? or just do the official update and it will be fine ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Definitely stick to official updates. Regardless of what anyone might tell you, it's a fantastic phone running stock firmware. And if you're not confident about flashing custom roms/kernels (there's a small risk everytime you do it that things might go wrong/you might brick your phone), definitely stick to official firmware.

At the very least until you've done a lot of reading on here and are confident to try different roms/kernels. If things do go wrong, it might take you a few days of research on here to work out how to fix your phone (which means you won't have your phone working for that time), and at worst you'll have to return it to Samsung for repair. Which you'll probably end up paying for as running custom roms/kernels voids your warranty.

So slow and steady, stick with stock for a while and read. Then read some more. And when you're done doing that, read for another couple of months.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
Sorry but got to disagree, yes its a great phone as stock but with custom ROM and kernels its an amazing phone. The devs here have done some amazing work. BUT (and its a big one) dont do a thing till you've researched your arse off, and you understand all the risks of what your doing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Latest stocks have been fine, even stock kernels have shown improved battery life. But with a custom rom/kernel combination your setting up a phone the way you like it with many ways of tweaking it.

If you do buy one, update to latest stock, try it out, if your not happy then root and enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:

BTW, since I got the s2 I've only ever used cf root kernals. Nice and stable for me and the closest thing to stock. Others claim increased performance or have over clocking etc don't interest me. I believe the phone doesn't need them. Also using Checkrom. On the S1, well that was different.

Depends if you want to have two batteries in your pocket or one IMO. I'd go for the external battery personally. Looks sleeker and can be used with other devices with a micro usb port, like a blutooth headset.

Hello all,

my sensation's volume rocker is faulty. By pressing volume down and power on, it will not boot into boot loader thus cannot enter recovery.

I know i can use software to boot into it boot loader but what if I am getting bootloops and unable to boot into rom?

Any ADB commands to make the phone boot into bootloader straight?

I am planning to flash the factory RUU and go claim my warranty after i get my Galaxy nexus..
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
adb reboot recovery

or

adb reboot bootloader

or plain old

adb reboot

:)
[HTC Sensation] mgear356:
thansk for your reply bro. but can this work if i am stuck in a bootloop ( before entering any rom)?
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Possibly not unless your timing is amazing!

Are you stuck in bootloops now or is this hypothetical?
[HTC Sensation] Decado_PL:
Please, tell if your volumne rocker is so broken that it cant even turn up/turn down volumne during normal use of phone?

If it's ok, thet I suggest method of booting into recovery which I use (and i had problems to boot before - thought it's vol. rocker):

1. press volume down button and hold it!

2. press power button for 2-3 seconds and then release, still holding the volumne down

3. phone boots into recovery after few seconds.

Hope it might help you.
[HTC Sensation] PowerValue:
Implying he can't control volume in a bootloop, I seriously hope this guy uses 4EXT touch, or else he needs to replace the rocker.

[HTC Sensation] Decado_PL:
I understood that he can't enter recovery due to some volume button fault. When you stuck in bootloop only thing you can do is pull out the battery, no keys/buttons are usable - tested myself :/
[HTC Sensation] mgear356:
not really hypothetical.. in fact i experienced it earlier..

my volume up/down seems to have a mind of his own and at times i will enter "safe mode"

thereafter it will auto reboot unless i am quick enough to do a factory wipe under settings... it will still boot into safe mode but wont auto reboot.

so after knocking a few times on the volume rocker, i am able to boot into normal mode but the volume rocker isnt working. Pressing it once, will cause to decrease the volume and switch to silent mode.
[HTC Sensation] mgear356:
lol this sux man..

I dunno if HTC singapore will honor the warranty cause this is a hardware defect and nothing to do with any rom or unlock..

Even in bootloader mode, press up will cause it to go down or at times up. pressing down may or may not respond.
[HTC Sensation] Smokuevo:
If you in a boot loop adb should see it for split couple seconds so with the phone connected I would keep trying to do adb reboot recovery

If you have CWM recovery installed (im not sure about other recoverys), you can connect your phone to your computer when it's off and you will have access to a limited adb provided by CWM.

Wipe all then cant boot into bootloader

Hi, i'm really sorry to bring back this post,

your fear had become my nightmare in reality.

The volume button was somehow (either physically spoil or is not capture click)

during booting process.

I have completely forgotten about it, and do complete wipe

(select wipe all except sdcard in touch recovery).

So, now the phone is completely clean (without rom)

and i'm unable to trigger bootloader/recovery via pwr/vol down button.

I have try take out battery,leave it for 10min and try press

all those button without casing/rocker;

press & hold vol down, den plug in battery;

and press both vol up & down then only pwr button.

The phone now (i assume) boot normally,

stop at HTC logo because there is no rom inside

(just like normal pc boot pass bios but cant find OS).

ironically, i live at singapore too... haha...

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I read somewhere that the person use pin to press the button really hard

and it manage to go into bootloader

(but I cant find back that post now)

Searching in forum recommend me to peel off the

volume button cover n use pin to press on it directly

(which I do not dare :o )

So now I sent it to repair shop,

hopefully that person using either g-box or gmbox

(flash box start with G) and can push RUU inside.

God bless me.
