A) maybe by using your 3g/4g to download the torrents. It can be tons of data, especially if roaming. They Might look into your usage.

B) Downloading illegal content can even get your wifi shut down if they catch it.

But nonetheless, IM not downloading anything illegal and 100% of the time I download torrents is on wifi with peer blockers installed on PC for some hopefully slight extra protection from trackers (had my home internet turned off more than once without blockers) the whole reason for the topic was to see what best torrent downloader for our phone was.. Not to upload or link to any external site or any "Warez" LULZ.. We know the rules people calm Down! So far most people seem to suggest adownloader which IM going to give a try today! I'll let you guys know if it runs faster than swarm on my set up.. Which currently is strongsteves odex 2.8, and the kernel he has with it. On wifi. no oc. Clean install.

just stop.. We KNOW. Where do you see a.link or post of any illegal content? It's a general conversation about completely legal applications from the Android market, no links to external sites, no discussion of illegal content, and definitely no links to.any apps will be posted, period. Go create your own topic about xda's policy and let us continue with our opinions of the best torrent downloader in peace please..

as a great xda user once said "lulz"

im not saying there is any links... i am in defense against my previous post that got a few comments on it... if you dont want people commenting back DONT QUOTE... im not saying STOP YOU $*KING A$$HATS OR IM GONNA TELL im admitting i was wrong... god i LOVE this site so much! people crawl out of the wood work to point out someones wrong.. but when someone needs help its "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON" or "GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND" when a simple answer would shut the person up...

please start trolling i cant wait to read your next response
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
You made the first post talking about how it's Warez and we could get banned talking about it. Don't post unless you know what your talking about is all IM saying. I could care less if you snitched because the mod will throw you another lulz lol. As far as the topic goes, thanks none to you but to all the people that suggested adownloader thanks!. Just downloaded a 750Mb file in about 15mins. Speeds ranged from 750Kb/s to 1.15Mb/s the entire time! Awesome sauce! Now to wait for our new airvana model!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
Yeah adownloader is probably the best. And to those of you who got terminated you must have been downloading insane amounts of data because i use about 8-10 gigs a month and spirnt hasnt said or done a thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol agreed. Or if it's illegal content being tracked and it's reported to the provider they can also shut your data off just like the regular internet companies will. Know this because I work for us cellular. It's just crazy the trollers making comments when this topic wasn't related to anything illegal lol. Adownloader is awesome! Thanks for the positive comment.

Why does everyone gets all riled up? It's only a conversation and not a how to session.... It's not any different than talking about a murder.... Think about it.... we discuss how and why this person was killed... That doesn't mean that we are going to do the same.... It's only a conversation..... Just saying....

You guys have to understand, people can and will do what they please... And it doesn't matter if they are breaking any laws... So talking about it really doesn't have any merit...

Just had to put in my two cents... And I use aTorrent....

Lol exactly! It's a convo about torrent apps. what are your speeds on avg using that app?

Omg. I didn't know we could get terminated if they catch us using torrents.

Ill do it on wifI from now on.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol only if you use it super excessively. And if your downloading illegal content they can shut you down no matter what your using if they catch you. My ISP for wifi has shut us down multiple times lol it's always good to read the comments from the torrent, lots of times if people have been caught the comments will tell you :-) I just use wifi because it's tons faster

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
not that I use torrents.. ahem... but hypothetically speaking...

I would have uTorrent installed on my home PC where I have superfast FiOS connection. uTottent has a remote option that you can setup, then install uTorrent Remote from the market on your phone to control it.

Of course that doesn't bring the file directly to your phone. I could sync whatever I want from my PC to my phone later via USB connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Yes as long as you're using a good charger with the mhl adapter, the battery lasts just fine. The phone is charging at the same time you are using the hdmi to watch the movie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yes.. I want a mhl adapter.. But at the moment IM using .mp4 and twonky to stream from my phone to ps3. I've had issues with video formats.. Mp4 works constantly with no issues and streams 1080 HD with ease. And it works with multiple systems.. Currently I use the ps3 to TV via hdmi over the network

Interesting considering I currently have that superfast FiOS... I need to study torrents....strictly for learning what its all about only..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] towncop1978:
Always use wifi even using torrents... Especially on large files....

Atorrent is not fast but it gets the job done.... Average 1hr download time on wifi for a 700mb file...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
I'm fed up with waiting for UK premiere of kindle fire so I decided to buy something that is now on the market.

My choice if HTC flyer as it was discounted recently and I'm looking for something in reasonable price. Would you recommend it? I am little bit afraid after I bought HTC sensation. I was really disappointed with various flaws of that device and would rather avoid it happening again so I'm waiting for you're opinion, do you like it or would you bought something else? Did you experienced any problems?

I'm thinking also about ZTE light tab 2 any other alternatives?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rydehard86:
I love me View. Excellent quality. The weight is heavy for some, but I think it makes it feel solid. It is also very snappy on both GB and HC. If the price is right jump on it.

Sent from my Fresh Evo 4g
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
I like it better than the kindle fire. I have both.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] neil85ae86:
yup

I've owned a few 7" devices and this was well ahead of the rest, I even tried the galaxy 7" plus and liked the Flyer more, It's polished and well built, but only at the right price, if you are paying full price might want to get something newer..... might not.

Neil
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Beenees:
Depends on the price, I got one for £235, I think it's good for the price, very good built quailty, pen is quite usable time to time, but abit heavy.

Bear in mind you can get Archos 80 G9 for the same price last time I check, which is duel core, 8 inch, and 250gb internal. Bad screen apparently but I hvnt seen one in real life so dont know. KICK STAND aswell!

I considered Archos as well but lack of RAM makes me worried that device might be lagging.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
I have the Archos 80 as well and, while it is my favorite device for reading because the screen is larger and it is thin, the Flyer/View is overall a snappier device.

Edit : Archos is supposed.to be getting ICS this month and there are rumors of a 1gb RAM version to be released.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] diyowell:
I sold my HTC Sensation and Kindle Keyboard WIFI then got myself an HTC Evo View. Happy camper here. Ebooks, medical programs, record keeping, media consumption, email, internet... At the 299 USD, the unit is cost effective for me.:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
What flaws exactly?

The Kindle Fire is junk compared to the Flyer. Flyer has much higher build quality, more memery, more storage, and a ton of features lacking on the Fire (MicroSD card slot, pen support, GPS, Bluetooth, cameras, microphone, gyro). Its like comparing a sports car with all the options to a stripped down compact car. Not sure what the prices the OP is looking at. But for a while in the US the Flyer was going for only $100 more than the Fire, and for what you get on the Flyer, that is a bargain.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
Check my posts, I actually started thread about all the issues with Sensation, most of them are solved now but they shouldn't happen for that price.

Decision made I'm going for flyer. Hell with kindle fire,I was only considering it because I don't need high end device for my needs and price was reasonable, but flyer price is reasonable as well and it is so much better. I'm going to buy it in next few days.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Its a bit ridiculous to come on here asking if the Flyer will have the same problems as your Sensation, and expect us to dig around in your post history to see what those issues were. If you want you question answered, why not just explain in a sentence or 2 what those issues were?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
I am not sure did you actually read my post?

At which point I asked will my Flyer have same issues as my Sensation? I just mention I had lots of problems with my Sensation and asked did you experienced any problems whatsover with Flyer. Two separed things. I would not expect you to have same problems with Flyer as I had with Sensation, however as I experienced some and I am not the only user who had them with this model I was a little bit afraid of buying HTC device after this. To summarise any problems with Flyer would worry me.

It is not important anymore as I bought HTC Flyer already and I am just waiting for delivery.

I have not wrote thousends of posts so it will not be difficult to find but if you really want to know those were:

1. Screen not working while charging - solved but shoul not be there

2. Terrible battery life (10 - 14 hours on heavy use) that is something, that would not bothere me with tablet, but it was extremely annoying with phone.

3. Clumsy Stock Rom and small choice o Custom Roms at this point - solved, Hypoersensation Rom FTW

4. Few smaller issues

And once again I don't care do you have any of those issues with HTC Flyer, for example second point is unimportant in tablet for me, however before I bought I would like not to have device that again will have more then 2-3 bugs which upset many users and which which you have to fully deal on your own.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
If that's what you meant, then that is what you should have said, which you clearly did not:

To me your OP very much sounds like you were asking if the specific problems on your Sensation applied to the Flyer. Even so, unless a person is pretty familiar with that phone, we would have no idea of the type of magnitude of the problems you were talking about. Give us some frame of reference. And if somebody is trying to help you and answer your question, don't tell them to dig around your post history to gather than information. You want to make it easier for people to help you, not harder.

But to answer your question, now that you've defined it much better: I haven't personally had any significant issues with my Flyer. Not sure what you mean by clumsy stock ROM. But I'm a person that is very willing to switch ROMs to get more features and/or better performance. I probably do so on my phone on average every couple of months, sometimes much more often. I've been very satisfied with the stock Flyer ROM, and haven't had much reason to try changing it, aside from upgrading from GB to HC.

The tablet is really snappy, and does everything well that I use it for (web browsing, reading eBooks and comics, watching video and a little gaming). Its really well built, and have had very little issues of apps freezing or FC. The build quality and feel are really great. Depending on the level of use, I easily get a day out of the battery with moderate use, and 2 days with lighter use.

Of course, with any manufacturing process, there will be occasional defective units. Or fluke issues that some users on here have mentioned, but don't seem widespread. But from spending a good amount of time on these forums, the only real consistent problems with the Flyer I can think of are:

1) Honeycomb upgrade not compatible with some software (particularly some games). Completely depends on what apps you use. It hasn't been an issue to me at all.

2) I had an issue where it would sometimes not connect to my PC over USB, but if I unplugged it, and plugged USB in again, it would connect. It was pretty annoying, as this would happen maybe 50% of the time, and sometimes take multiple attempts of re-plugging in to make it work. But I still would consider this a pretty minor bug. And once I upgraded to HC, this issue completely disappeared.

3) Some people have mentioned slower performance after upgrading to HC. I haven't experienced this at all. The performance is just as snappy as GB on my Flyer. And considering that HC has a bit more animations and still performing as fast as GB, makes me feel that HTC did a good job on the ROM. I upgraded using the "unofficial" globatron method.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
Thank you for your answer.

I did not provided what issues I had with Sensation because I did not consider it relevant as my intention was to find out about any issues flyer might have. mentioning my phone was only done to give an example of situation were Htc sold device witch had many unsolved problems and I was trying to avoid that kind of situation again. Anyway my flyer arrived by ***** today and I am quite happy with it do far although I had only about 30 minutes to pay with it.

By clumsy stock ROM I meant that for example sensation was actually working slower (there is many videos on YouTube showing this) then Htc desire because stock ROM was so bad. after todays experience it seems like this is not the case with flyer.

I do change my roms but still there is no reason why Htc would do clumsy software, even if I'm planning to change it then for as you mention better performance a and additional options not because stock one is unbearable.

Thanks once again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Yeah, I don't think you'll have any issues with the snappiness and response of the Flyer in the long term either. The thing just "flies" no matter what I throw at it, whether on GB or HC.

That's no way to talk about your delivery person. LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
***** suppose to mean post, damn auto correction :)

This device is absolutely awesome. Upgraded to Hc few minutes ago but so far on GB it was best stock ROM I experienced so far with HTC devices (wildfire had too slow -rooted sensation - terrible, rooted, desire HD and s were ok but rooted them anyway :) with flyer I don't feel tempted to root it because it works so well), everything works ok no issues whatsoever. Awesome device for that money.

I was gonna ask, which delivery service did you use? :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] readable:
Best part about the flyer is the pen. Enjoy
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leyus:
GB was better then HC after few days experience, will w8 for root and will go back :D Except that awesome device.

I'm now afraid to answer you guys from my mobile since I know how auto corrections works :D

I don't want to create a new thread so I hope people don't mind I revive this; on amazon the 16GB Wifi Flyer is £189.99 but a Playbook is 169.99. Now obviously I know the limitations of the Playbook, it has only select Android apps ported/available but it has a dual core CPU.

I'm not desperate to get a tablet but these prices do make it quite attractive (usually you'll get cheapo stuff at this range). Has anyone had experience of both tablets?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
I would like the coating done. (They actually do any phone, regardless of the list. But you take on full liability).

The problem is that they put your phone into a vacuum chamber. That isn't good. I mean the galaxy nexus has a BAROMETER (pressure sensor). I have a feeling the process would break that sensor.

Any ideas?

I wish some company could do something like this & support the GN. They could always remove and reinstall the baromenter:o

HzO is being marketed by Zagg. Now I wonder who came up with the tech first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danboard:
If they were putting your phone in a hyperbaric chamber you'd have to worry but they're taking force OFF the barometer. You don't really have to worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Oh really?

I never thought of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itch808:
Hyperbaric oxygen chamber apply positive pressure, not a vacuum.

I don't like the idea of the owners taking responsibility for the application process. I'm sure many others would agree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I just like watching the YouTube video lol. I will wait till the manufacturers start to do this to the phones, I don't feel the need to shower or swim with my Nexus ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I'd imagine that the testing they are doing on devices possibly has to do with making sure that their process will actually penetrate fully. I wish these guys had been around the last time I was in that area. I'm pretty interested in it, and have zero concerns about taking on full liability since dunking my phone under water isn't something I'd intentionally do. However, I'm a security nut and there's no way I'd mail my phone off into the wild, even if I did a Nandroid, then full wipe/back to stock. I'd much rather walk in and have it done.... and my laptop, and anything else I can find just for fun. :p

Probably neither. I have the impression that the technology has been around for quite some time. These guys do it too and have been in business since 2004. It's new to me though!. http://www.p2i.com/applications

just tried flashing xplod, after the boot animation just got a black screen.

flashed blazer 3.7, doesnt go past the sgs2 screen, waited like 10-15 minutes twice.

i feel like im probably forgetting something stupid, wiped everything a couple times and all that.

Did you go to advanced in clockwork and clear the dalvik cache?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
sure did

this is how it all went down exactly

from miui rebooted into recovery

used calks wipe all 2 times

flashed xplod .05 or whatever it is with a 5

after boot animation black screen, but the screen is on

hold power, reboot, hold vol up and power

booted into rogue recovery, so rogue flashed

wiped everything from the wipe menu: factory restore, cache, dalvik, calks wipe all again just in case

reboot, same deal with black screen after boot animation

reboot into recovery wipe everything flash blazer

stuck at sgs2 screen

reboot into recovery, restore backup

MIUI is back up and running
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Make sure you format the system and data before you flash touchwiz or aosp. I usually go to the mounts and storage, and format system, data, and cache. Also, are the roms your trying to install modified in any way?

Dear Samsung team member, can you please pressure the product team to release an upgrade to this device as the screen fonts are so small its very difficult to use.

I have read in a number of forums that customers are not happy with this problem and some believe that it will be fixed with the release of ICS for this device.

I bought the product with the intention of using it for work and its painfull to read. I really hope something can be done to fix this urgently.

Kind regards

Q3: I am unable to write to the external sd card using anything other than the stock file manager; is there something wrong with me?

A: No, you're fine. That's how it is out of the box. The solution requires rooting (see Q4 below) the device and changing the permissions for the sd card. See here.

I can rite to SD card and device with windows explorer. i did not root. I am using windows 7.
