Internet Information

The government has been collecting information since 2003 on internet sites, users who view them and how they got to that site by wireless or hardwire. You can slow them down by erasing your cookies and your internet history. Also keep your favorites list to a minimum and try different browsers. Turn your wifi and GPS off when you don't need them. They collect information every few hours. You can't beat them but only slow them down.

I'm doing some research and found Privacy Blocker. There are some other good apps out there for checking which apps send back information to the government. I don't think this threat is going to go away by its self. You're not going to stop it by living on an Island making smart remarks, KID!

So I sold my Mytouch4g a few days ago, but had just ordered this new back a few days previously. annnd it doesn't fit on my Sensation. Sooo...anyone want a new one? It's all white and came from China. Take a look if you're interested.

I thought someone here might want it

I am using the Photon's stock web browser. Recently, it keeps misfunctioning. When I tried to browse web, it only has a very tiny block showing on the browser top, and keeps frozon. What is the problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Download Dolphin browser HD or Mini and see if the problem persists. Most of us don't even use the stock browser, we download dolphins right away and never look back. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Winston1989:
My Asus Transformer wont stop rebooting and when I turn it off, it takes me countless times to hit the power on/off button to turn it on, then it just randomly reboots every time I am connected to the internet. I have not rooted my device nor have I done anything to affect its stock state, any help at all would be much appreciated!! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
I always have to hold my power button for a few second to boot it from a completely off state... Are you doing that? Or just quick pressing it?

As for the rebooting issue, since you are completely stock with out root, then I would start by uninstalling any recent apps. maybe if you remember what new apps were installed around the time the issues began... I would start there. otherwise, factory reset and see if that helps... Beyond that, i'm not sure what you can do with a stock non rooted device. good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Winston1989:
I have managed to do a factory reset, and no apps were present, yet still when I went to the browser it rebooted and now I am struggling to turn it on, after the first lock screen, it reboots again. Yes, I am also holding the power button untill the screen glows. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cavsoldier19d:
If a factory reset does not fix it, then back up any important data and get on the phone with asus to do a warranty repair (assuming you are past the return date from where you bought it)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Winston1989:
I have returned the device and am getting a new one in a few hours. I hve done some research and i understood that the new firmware update does that to the transformer 101. Can anyone confirm that? Or am I safe to update the new device which i will recive? Thanks! :)

[HTC EVO 3D] cinnabarcorp:
I remember a while back around the time the EVO 3D was released that there was an EVO 3D Car mount/car Kit. It held the phone and charged it at the same time. The kind that you put on the windshield. I cant seem to find it anywhere on the internet and Im positive it was made by HTC.

I had the official one for the EVO 4G one. Paid $10 on amazon.

I paid $20 for the official EVO 3D one at opentip.com. Very high quality and this one came with a dual USB car charger and a 10 foot USB cable with suction cup. Stay away from those universal ones, they suck.

I hated that charger. It's short and doesn't rotate well.

[HTC EVO 3D] Staked:
Runs great on my Evo 3d. Love the new search button for the app drawer.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodforge:
Just picked up the one from Igrip that they sell on the sprint site, very rugged and well made(so far) It will accept smaller cases but nothing very large. Pretty happy with it. How ever you have to supply your own cables, but the mount does provide for descent cable management with the usb socket on the backside. and clips to attach your cord to.

::EDIT:: 2d camera lense is perfectly usable while it's mounted, however the 3d lense is covered up.

I've got a windshield that extends forward quite a bit and the mount on this thing is pretty long and actually lines up my evo within easy reach. Was using an exo-mount but this thing is much better.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
Hello,

since the trend in smartphone development aims at huge screens and extreme processor speeds I was wondering if anybody heard about possible Aria successors, that would be handy phones with decent specs.

I would love to see a new Aria, with a dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, a thinner bezel (like the Galaxy Nexus) but the same or just slightly bigger dimensions as the Aria.

Any rumors?

I fear that this is just wishful thinking, but one can still dream XD
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L337Geek:
Unfortunately, I've been hunting for this for about 6 months. No alpha products, previews, or reviews I could find...

Looks like you'll have to upgrade to something bulkier =(
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
Dang.

Well there is no rush for me to decide. I got rid of any kind of cellphone plans and buy my new phones when I can't stand the old ones anymore ;)

With CM7 and some tweaking I can still love my Aria for a while.

The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus would be ok if only it had more RAM and Android 4.0. Too bad...

This is my new hobby, creating HTC Aria 2 fakes. If only I could print them out with a 3D printer...

Would you maybe like one with a front cam and two LEDs integrated into the classic speaker? Or a green one with trackball?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewmcquay:
I loved my Aria. The weight was ideal but I had to have a bigger screen. It seems that the general trend nowadays it to get bigger and better. My example to this would be the Samsung Galaxy Note. The only carrier I know of that still has phones (new phones I might add) is SouthernLinc Wireless. Not to come off as advertisement but we just got a Motorola i867. 3.1" screen. Runs Eclair.

I really do wish that they would have an Aria 2. I agree with you. If they removed most of the bezel it would be a great phone. I still have mine even though I have since had a Captivate and now the Galaxy S II.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:

Engadget just posted an article about the HTC Golf.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
That looks pretty promising :)

I keep wondering...why can't there be a high-end phone with smaller dimensions. High-end does not necessarily mean it has to have a huge screen. Or at least mid-end haha. 1GHz is not too much to ask, and why not 1gb ram.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Manufacturers may see it as a waste or irrelevant to place so much "power" in a device which doesn't really need it. E.g. A small screen and lower resolution would be less demanding than a larger screen with a high resolution.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
I can't agree on that one. It does not matter how big the screen is, certain tasks simply need more CPU/GPU power. Anything 3D, augmented reality, you name it.

Well, one day dual-core and 2gb ram will be outdated and considered low-spec. probably sooner than later
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Hence the lower resolution. Have you noticed that devices with lower resolutions (on smaller screen and less powerful GPU's/CPU's) have similar (and sometimes higher) benchmark scores (in graphics, etc.) than higher end devices? Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKJhpioh51k.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerials:
Basically the HTC Vivid (Holiday) was the Aria successor. Nothing special about it in particular...Just basically a slightly upgraded EVO.

Seeing as how I currently only have the Aria as a cheap back-up, it's still great to take out for those occassional 'extreme' circumstances like rock-climbing.

But as a general everyday device...I can't go back to using anything smaller than the Note. Even the Skyrocket feels like a toy to me.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
Doesn't need to have full HD to be demanding. 600MHz just don't kick it anymore. It's because of these low-spec CPUs we can't run Firefox for example.

But this is not the point of this thread, neither to post personal preferences. Just looking for a nice new, but small phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
800mhz is what you should be running it at, psh...

HTC one v looks a lot like the aria... Maybe that will work.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
I really like the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.

800MHz dual-core CPU, 4GB internal memory and 768MB RAM. ICS update coming. Oh and a front cam since it's not too much to ask. Nothing spectacular, but a decent phone for a good price.

I can't understand why HTC didn't go for a CPU like that in the Desire C. 600MHz is terrible.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmo123:
After a lot of searching, reading and waiting I got the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 this week and I can only recommend it.

If you liked the simple design and small form factor of the Aria this is definitely for you!

I am very happy about the speed in general, the battery life is better than expected and the screen has the perfect size for me, big enough to type more comfortable than on the aria or Wildfire S but still nice and small for the pocket.

Some smart guy already found a way to root it. Looks promising for future modding.

Well, thanks for all the suggestions here and take care :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imadiamond:
Don't quite understand many of these recommendations

Don't quite understand many of these recommendations. The idea behind a similar phone to the Aria is that it's, well, similar : ) . Looked up the specs for the Galaxy and some of the other recommendations and these are larger phones, noticeably larger. I'm sure there are a ton of folks who might feel the same way, I have no care in the world about these fancy dancy phones that are the size of small tablets. Give me something small, sleek and refined. The Aria is close to perfect in that balance. HTC did a great job, now looking for someone else who's done the same! : )
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fspl600:

Yes I like webkey...it is for root users and enables you to log in on a computer and you can remotely view anything going on the phone in real time, view GPS on a map and sd card contents, contacts and more.

google "android with task killer" and read the hits, or search within XDA "task killer" and read the result. This subject has long been covered since android inception whether it is useful or useless.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mt6272:
Bought a 32gb grey prime, serial starting with BCOK from Office Depot. I'm noticing that I hardly ever get more than 2/3 the signal of the computers in my house, and no GPS (as expected). Lately I have seen from this forum that SOME people are getting C1 serial number primes and are reporting that their wifi is great and that their GPS is fully functional (something that people seem to have all but given up on).

The quality seems to vary from prime to prime, but at least people are reporting perfectly functional tf201 primes out there.

Any thoughts on whether I should start playing the return game until I get the perfect one? Observed any trends in what company seems to be selling the better primes?

Note: First xda post- after the forum intro video, I must that you be nice to me if this seems to be a silly question to ask on here :p

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 05GT:
Does your wifi work? Yes, just not as strong as other computers in your house. Do you really need the GPS? Probably not, but you paid for it.

I think the return game just screws it up for others that really are looking to get their hands on a Prime but can't because of all the useless returns. Yes, some people have issues, but I'm sure 90% of the returns are pointless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mt6272:
Looking into the fix aznmode . Currently combing the forums to see if I can get exact measurements as to where I should squeeze. I am unsure about the envelope method across the whole top of the screen, as I have no clue what else is under there (mind I am still researching).

I completely respect your stance 05GT. As I get the time, I am testing my wifi in different conditions, and am steadily developing an opinion as to whether this is going to be a real problem with me. Naturally, it just feels safer to have a more efficient machine, since these devices are so exclusively integrated with the internet. With my college lifestyle jumping from network to network it may be, might not. Its why I plan on dragging my trial period out a little longer to see if I can just get on with my device or if a fix will spring up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
I've tested a BC Prime, made in December. And Asus sent me a C1 Prime made in January. With the exception of a tiny bit of light bleed on the C1, they seemed identical.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
In your tests, it may be good to use wifi analyzer mentioned in that video. It's actually very useful in determining how well your device picks up wifi around you. I have another tablet I compare mine to and for the most part they're almost the same. I do notice from time to time my other tablet will have slightly longer reach as it can pick up 1 more wifi than the prime but its a very weak signal so I just discount it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
Vibration motors work fine, go to market, and download a vibrator app and test it. I'm sure with custom roms it will be fixed. As for GPS well you could just use your phone or if you really want to use it on a tablet just wait for the next android tablet to hit the market instead of complaining and complaining.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mt6272:
I thought I would follow up on my situation. My last day to return my prime is tomorrow.

I have done more extensive wifi testing, and I can conclude that the wifi is just weak. Close to the router it gets 2/3 signal. On the other side of the house where my sisters computer is getting 24mb/s, my prime is getting 1 mb/s.

Against my every wish ( everything else on the tablet is wonderful) , I am returning tomorrow. Good wifi is just something I need. Every store around is sold out on primes

So, what I will do is get a replacement tablet until ASUS gets things together ( best buy has a generous 45 day return policy).

As a college student, what will be a good replacement?

I was looking at the htc flyer ( a low end price replacement) or the lenovo thinkpad 1838 ( a higher end replacement..) as they both seem to have responsive touch screens that are good for writing. Would anyone recommend one of these, or something else within this price range for me?
