Is there a difference between the Netflix app supplied by B&N and the Netflix app from the market? For some reason it seems like the video quality isn't as good since I switched over to CM7. It's good, but doesn't seem to pop as much as it used to.

I wanted to know how slow is sd compared to nand??

The sd versions are more stable and less bugs... But will they be ridiculously slower than nand versions???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
No bugs with 2.3 aosp nand roms. Nand is a lot faster than sd version + it's very stable. Try it yourself :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Whoa, where are you getting that from? Neither version has any significant bugs and both are very stable :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RoachTeo:
There are a lot on nand that are stable like sd..

The differences are where the new system is installed: on nand it is fast because the nand (a memory like ram) is insert into the board of the phone and has bus and cable directly connected to the cpu.. But, maybe, it can be less stable because it isn't so easy alter the nand.

Create a system for an sd is easyer than nand because is an external device and, for this, maybe slow..

I cannot give you more details on speed.. It's like the speed of copy between two sata hard disk vs usb between disk..

Did i make myself clear?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] championswimmer:

Hmm, not significantly slower but it will have much worse battery life. I've used ACA on SD (when I used Winmo) and Typhoon on NAND now and NAND is definitely faster but I wouldn't say significantly so.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ryker1409:
Yes, this is also my result. First i tried Boxmax on SD. It was stable but slow. So i decided to go to Energy NAND with the same Android+Sense Version like Boxmax. The NAND Version is faster so i have fun with it.

Hello!

I’ve to make an Android high school project and I’ll need to send signals through the USB cable (the interpretation of these will be another project) so be able to send 1 or 0s will be enough I guess…

To get that, I’d need the USB Host mod or the Accessory one?

I was thinking to buy this tablet for testing that has USB Host and 2.3.4 Android version but I’m not completely sure if it will be compatible….

Thank you very much!

sadly, with the cheap 'Chinese knockoff' tablets, there's pretty much no way to know something like that.

I say get an old android phone with at least some dev support off Craigslist or something for your problem. An OG Droid (for example) would have more than enough supports and preexisting hacks for you to be able to program the USB port a little.

Thank you strongly. I supposed that all, but my intentions were to get "send that signals" using an non-customed ROM and a "cheap" Android device (I can't no waste to much money on this)

Hi,

if you have the Huawei U8800 Pro (alias Ideos X5 Pro or U8800+) please try if your smartphone is affected by the sdcard mount bug.

Be sure that you have disabled the "Fast boot" on Settings->Applications->Fast boot (needs to be unchecked).

Then shutdown your U8800Pro and powen on.

Question: Is your sdcard (the external one microsd) correctly mounted? Can you see its content?

If you want your smartphone reads again your sdcard, you need to Reboot and magically Android mounts correctly your external microsd.

Please vote the poll upon this thread!

Regards,

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
While it's unlikely I'll be able to help (the kernel patches I've written in the past have been basic), you should run "dmesg" right after it happens and paste the log here
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thanks qwerty12,

I'm going to post the result.

Be right back,

regards

This is the output of "dmesg": http://pastebin.com/GBWnecwJ
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Please try more than one time because the bug is not "regular", it is a sort of random.

But in most cases, about 90%, every power on (after a full shutdown) the external sdcard is not correctly mounted and sometimes Android adverts me in the status bar that the file system is unknown.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I have 3 different microsd cards:

- Transcend 1GB (no class on the sdcard but > 4);

- Sandisk 4GB class 2;

- Sandisk 16GB class 4.

I have this bug with Sandisk sdcards and

NOT

with the Transcend one.

I am understanding that our Huawei U8800 Pro wants fast sdcards and my theory is confirmed by several tests.

The Transcend sdcard is the most fast among my sdcards (anyway I don't know the class because it's now written on the sdcard) and I proved its performance with a benchmark software. Its performance are better than Sandisk class 4, then its class is maybe 6.

Maybe a solution?

Hello dear Forum users,

I finally tried a new way for fixing the sdcard mounting problem.

I am used to format sdcard or any king of external drive with the built in format-tool of Windows 7 x64.

Anyway today I tried a new format tool (of course a new format tool for me :rolleyes:), developed by Panasonic, this is the download link:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/sdfmt3_1.zip

I formatted my sdcard with this software and magically the external sdcard is always correctly mounted!

Hoping to help other user,

best regards,

Too good to be true :) i tried this method, has no effect at all..i have tried 2 different cards, class 4 and 6, i guess this bug lives in base huawei 2.3 code.. lets wait for new release from Huawei next week and hope this issue to be fixed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Oh, I'm very sorry to hear this :(

Anyway I changed something on the init.rc file (on the ramdisk of the kernel), so I don't know if the solution is a combination of the init.rc and sd-format tool. What I know is that my combination solved my drastic problem. Watching the status of the poll I have to say that there is for sure a problem on the huawei 2.3.5 base, yes, you're right.

If you want you can try my boot.img, based on genokolar kernel but I deleted lots of script, it's very "light" and like the stock one, except for the root rights.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
Download any Linux distribution and open a virtual terminal or terminal. Then do next things on bash:

1. Log in as root with su program by typing "su" and give root password (check distributor help page what is root in Live mode if using such).

2. Use dmesg and tail programs to get device information by typing

"dmesg | tail"

3. Physically connect your MicroSD card to reader

4. Re-use dmesg and tail programs to get device information of connected MicroSD by typing

"dmesg | tail"

5. Read what device was connected (Example /dev/sdb (! Not /dev/sdb1 or anything else number, just /dev/sdX)) from the output what dmesg program gave you when connected the MicroSD card

6. Overwrite whole card with full of zeroes with dd program and zero generator by typing

"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX"

!!! IT WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON CARD AND PARTITION TABLE !!!

and just wait that dd program write the whole card full of zeroes. of= means "Output File" and if= means "Input File". Be very careful that you have correct MicroSD card targeted (of=).

7. After you have cleared the whole card, eject it from card reader and re-insert it.

8. Re-use dmesg and tail programs to confirm the same device file is used

9. use fdisk program to create a new partitions and partition table to the card by typing

"fdisk /dev/sdX"

and press m for help. You need to create a new primary partition (n) and then write it to disk and quit (w). You can print already existing partitions with p as Print.

10. Eject the card and re-insert it

11. Use again dmesg and tail program to confirm new device files and partitions (Example, now there should be /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1 if created one partition)

12. Generate a filesystem on created partitions and write them to partition table with filesystem tools (fat32 filesystem usually is wanted) by using mkfs.vfat program.

Type "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1"

13. Eject and re-insert the card

It should now be working again, with FAT32 partition on it.

P.S You can skip 7-13 parts if you want to do partitions on Windows, I always do it on Unix because Windows might get things still wrong but after the partition table is re-created on Unix, it works on Windows as well.

I have fixed dozens of "broken" cards and sticks by this way.

If you can not get your card listed with dmesg program then that card is physically broken, NAND chip is gone gaga or your card reader is broken as computer does not even recognize the card at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi Fri13,

Thank you for your post but I have to say that my sdcard (the latest one) was a new one and I bought a new sdcard because I thought that my previous sdcard was broken.

A new sdcard cannot get the same problem.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] elonus:
Hi

I was gonne try formatting the SD card with the program you recommended and changing the boot.img. But if i use youre boot.img does that mean i cant use a custom ROM? Just before i got the problem i was thinking about using one.... Now to the formatting program xD it is 3 options i can choose between in the program which one is the one that im supposed to use? i can choose between: Quick, Full (Erase) and Full (Overwrite). Which one is it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi theminikiller,

If I'm not wrong you have the U8800 which has a different boot.img (kernel of U8800 pro version).

Then you can only try formatting the external sdcard.

Open SDFormatter;

Click on Option;

Format type ---> Quick

Format Size Adjustment ---> ON

I used these settings.

3 - Restart the phone in Recovery Mode

4 - Make Wipes:

* Wipe data

* Wipe cache

The next step is to wipe dalvik cache for what i need the advanced option... would it be safe for me to leave this in between and go for what you suggested... if yes, is there any tutorial at all to do this? I guess i cant restart my phone since i wiped out everything already? and wont i need to re-root my phone and check usb debugging for do what you suggested?

Thanks for your time.

All you've done so far is factory reset your device. You can safely install CF-Root, as suggested by AJ.Rockwell and it won't brick your device (disclaimer: if you do it right ;))

Hey everybody.

I've been testing PDroid which in my opinion is better than LBE, because it gives me more control of my privacy.

It's very easy, just point the Windows version to your rom and it makes two patches, a new one and a restore.

Then flash with CWM.

Flash the PDroid v1.27 file with CWM.

After just download the app from the market.
