Does anyone know if you can buy p6810 or p6800 in store in Toronto? Pacific mall?

If so, how much?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
In the states here and I just got the P6810 Wi-fi only model from Expansys. Shipped with Fedex Ground from Illinois and was at my house in like 2 days.

Check em out. They even are associated with cashback services like ebates, fatwallet, and bank credit card programs.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teknikk7:
Negri also, I ordered on Wednesday and it was at my house Thursday afternoon. I love this device. $488 out the door for the 6810, hope I didn't pay too much...
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
I just bought this device a few days ago not a big fan of the locked bootloader. Anyways i was just messing around and opened a fastboot window and sent the command. It just gave me results saying it would void my warranty and enter my device specific code. So bear with me as i havent done too much reading through the threads for this device. Im sure i havent been the first person to try this command. Im just curious if the users that have done this have gained any further access. Like say trying to boot a recovery image via fastboot and maybe getting past motorolas digital signatures? I have no problem unlocking mine since im using it on metro anyways so no warranty. And trying out some things to try to get past it. Just posting this for some feedback i guess.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Unfortunately people have tried it. I've tried it, but nothing comes of it. So nothing to report :/
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
Figures. This is my first motorola they didnt play around as far as locking this thing down goes from what i can see so far. After unlocking it what all did you try to do?

I guess i should sent the unlock code before posting. lol

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orlyzz:
I have a rooted HTC Eris Driod that was perviously on the verizon network but is currently not in service.... so far I have been using it around the house to serf the web with my wifi.

I am running GB 2.3 I would like to flash this phone to Metro PCS and start using it again... would this be possible if I currently dont have a plan?

not too sure if the old phone number assigned to it is even valid or if someone else is using it since i turned off service years ago?

Any recomendations or what are my options?

Thanks...

Droid Newbie.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayinc11:
You didn't clarify do you want to have service with MPCS?

I had mine done 2 weeks ago, so far so good. It was from vzw, cm7 2.8.3. i don't see why yours cannot be done. as for the number, it's proly back in circulation/pool and in use. i would call it first. otherwise you can get a new number at the mpcs store.

Note that they officially flash talk and text only. Some dudes do full flash for some extra $$, just ask. I ported my number from Tmobile and I am the 25$ plan (promo ended last december). I have been reading around to find how i can enable the web/data.

So far i have not found a link to get this done. so at the moment i can only use wifi.

If anybody can would you point us to some helpful links. Thanks. I hope that helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
Does the DC support hardware acceleration for browser apps? I'm using Dolphin HD as my primary Reddit browser with the javascript from the reddit FAQ, and when it opens alot of images in the browser everything becomes very sluggish, doing redraws after you stop moving your finger instead of smoothly as you go.

The iPhone does this SO much better, because of hardware GPU acceleration. Does the DC GPU just not cut it, is it not engaged due to software issues (on Tweakstock 1.2), or maybe its just a lack of support altogether?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Yes it does, latest kernel PBJ does tweak the GPU up a little bit (+25). You can use either smoothness, V6 super charge,Thunderbold scripts or voodoo lag fixed to eliminate browser issue. First try xScope browser see it improves your legginess,.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
That's not what he was asking. I believe all recent Android revisions support GPU acceleration. It may just be a lack of RAM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
GPU acceleration is only in the stock browser that comes with the shipped ROM. If you modify it, it kills the acceleration from my experience. ICS has a different type of rendering in the browser to make it better/faster than what is available in GB. However, the fact that you're using Dolphin as the browser would have no effect on the browser included in the stock or custom ROM. If you want to know if Dolphin HD does GPU rendering, you'd have to contact them, or ask someone that knows as it would render independent of the included browser.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Actually the iPhone's smoothness, and Gingerbread's lack thereof, has more to do with the way Android was designed. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eWXxCFmKUlQ#t=40s

Notice how on the Vita, despite the rock-bottom rendering times, the browser runs at 60 fps and is perfectly smooth. The Vita OS prioritizes UI input over all other processes (it's a bit more complicated, but this is a close enough explanation).

Android unfortunately runs UI and apps at the same priority, so when an app is accessing CPU resources the entire system chugs. Also as you install more and more apps, your system will begin to experience increasing lag (although some shell scripts can mitigate the problem). Fixing this is not an easy job. You basically have to redesign the OS from the ground up, breaking compatibility with all previous apps.

This redesign issue is why RIM bought QNX and is now using a completely new operating system on their touch-screen devices, instead of redesigning Blackberry OS. It's also why Microsoft threw away Windows Mobile 6.5 and started from scratch with WP7. Same with Palm and webOS, as well as Nokia and MeeGo (before MSFT infiltrated them).

I was hoping Google would just chuck everything and go for broke with ICS, but they decided to play it safe. I personally would have preferred they do what RIM did with buying and implementing a brand new OS, and then using an emulation layer to enable backwards compatibility with old apps. I don't think running an entire OS in a VM on a device with constrained resources (CPU, GPU, and especially battery) makes a whole lot of sense.

But I guess we'll see how it all pans out in the end.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I don't think it would require anything close to the level of rewriting that you are talking about here. We are running, for all intents and purposes, a Linux system with some custom UI layers. It's really no more special than Fedora Linux for x86 or PPC in that regard. Currently, I have mine running quite smooth...almost, but not quite, iPhone smooth...just by playing the renice game with process priorities (SysTune is great for this). As an end user with little desire to dig into the code myself, there's only so much I can do, but what I have done has virtually turned this into a new phone. If Google would change the way they handle the priority of certain basic apps...phone, systemui, media, launcher, etc...they could get the UI to that point by default.

The question then comes down to "why?" Why don't they do this? I can only imagine that there are consequences beyond what we as end users see. Me doing this to my individual phone is fine. If I cause issues, I have to deal with them and have no place to complain, but if Google did this by default and it caused issues on even 10 percent of phones, that's a much greater problem. This is the framework they have to work within. A complete rewrite would be completely outside the Android philosophy. They simply can't do it. RIM can do it because they are using proprietary systems, but Android is built around Linux. It's built around open source. We couldn't have the roms we have or the development we do without that, and Google wouldn't have the massive install base they do if they had a proprietary OS.

Ultimately, we as the end users just have to have faith that Google engineers who are far smarter and more knowledgeable than us have done what they have done for a reason, and the fact that they've decided to make this a mostly open system gives us the ability to tinker with it in ways that iOS, RIM, and Microsoft users can't. I'll take that over a complete rewrite any day.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
They haven't done a rewrite because it would break backwards compatibility with all apps and require starting from scratch (with regards to features and such). Palm did this with webOS, but unfortunately didn't have the money or expertise to popularize their phones.

Also it's not just the UI priority, it's the whole running in the Dalvik VM issue. Have you ever lightly flinged your phone's screen to long-scroll a list, and noticed periodic "hiccups" that interrupt the smooth scrolling? That's Android's garbage collection, a unique feature of Java. Its purpose is to manage apps' memory allocations (there's more to it... but that's a good enough simplification), but an always on garbage collector drains battery. Since the entire OS runs in the VM, this tends to result in battery issues.

Unlike Palm, Google has the resources and human capital needed to redesign their OS. They also have a ton of carrier relationships across the globe. A redesign is merely a matter of willpower and risk aversion (and time). I'm still hoping Google is planning to wow everyone with a redesign they've been secretly working on for years.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
*facepalm*

Apparently Google may end up releasing Android 5.0 in Q2 of this year: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120215PD209.html

I hope the report's suggestion that Google is appealing for dual-boot tablets isn't true. It would just seem... like why would the average person care about dual-booting? I know I would personally like it, but otherwise I doubt the second OS will see much use.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Dual boot to what?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Chrome OS
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Chrome OS?? chrome is a browser!. Dual boot between Android 5.0 and Windows 8 OS without shutting down the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Actually, google has been making a x86 OS called Chromium. Google chromebooks. It's basically a minimalistic laptop with chromium designed for cloud computing. It uses chrome as the browser, google docs for office etc.

I need to flash a kernel for the stock froyo 2.2.2 on the LG Optimus 2x (LG-P990HN). I NEED to get rid of the annoying TOUCH BUG on the phone, and I heared that flashing an alternative kernel will fix the problem. For those of you who don't know what the touch bug is: when you tap on certain spots at random times the screen will become unresponsive and you have to tap harder. It's very annoying.

THANKS!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rutifruti:

[LG Optimus 2x] xda<3:
Well.. I WISH I could. However the LG Update tool says I'm at the latest firmware. I'm in Canada with Fido so maybe they didn't realease the 2.3.4 update. That makes me mad because the rest of the world has 2.3.4 and is waiting for ICS. Not fair. So do you know what kernel I should flash?
[LG Optimus 2x] xda<3:
Anyone know? The touchscreen is annoying the heck out of me. Any kernel I can flash, anything????
[LG Optimus 2x] stefantumi:
How about rooting your phone. I actually can't believe that some living person has the patients to use that awful froyo

Release. It's buggy and annoying. I lasted about 3-4 weeks before rooting my phone, I would have sold it or thrown it away if it wasn't for custom rom . And I don't believe you can change kernel without rooting it. Root saves your phone

My opinion by the way
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
You can't flash anything without rooting.....

And if you root, it's weird to keep the old buggy crappy Froyo.

Root wit SuperoneClick,

then install Clockworkmod recovery, and the you can flash whatever you want.

Recommend reading the above thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] xda<3:
Guys I am rooted! But I am hesitant to go to CM7 or alpha CM9 because I'm scared that when I backup my stock rom on Clockworkmod it won't recover. Happened on my previous phone (HTC Hero) and I was unable to return to stock. The reason I need to be able to go back to stock is becuase I might return the phone if the touchscreen bug doesn't dissapear after flashing a custom ROM. And yes I used SuperOneClick 2.2 and I might unroot it. (depending on how the custom ROM works)
[LG Optimus 2x] xda<3:
It's a bug with the earlier versions of froyo. When you tap on certain areas at certain places it will be unresponsive. Most of the time it's ok but sometimes even up to 10 minutes the phone is unresponsive and you have to press everything harder.. not just a light tap. It's TRULY annoying. I want to upgrade to CM7 but I don't want to void my warranty. So I will backup the stock ROM. I just hope it recovers properly. Last time it didn't :(
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
One advice... If you're using CWM 5.0.2.0, don't rename the backup folder after you made a backup. Otherwise you'll get a MD5 mismatch and it won't recover. Learned that the hard way... :(

I'm not sure if this problem is also on the newer recoveries.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
You can rename but without space in the name. Yes bug still present. I would recommend to use 'old' 5.0.2.7, Touch Version is too buggy.

You can backup Froyo, but even if you unroot you'll still have Recovery. The only solution would be nvflash.

Cm9 is good lol. With Ironkrnl, very fast.
[LG Optimus 2x] xda<3:
I've flashed CM7! MUCH MUCH FASTER. But my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. It vibrates only for the bottom keys like home back search etc. But the vibration is weird.. its like really strong. Not the same as before. And I'm still having an issue with the touchscreen where sometimes it won't respond to my touch and I have to touch it another time :(. Is it because the screen has bleeds. Yellow hue at the top two right corners? Should I get it replaced? So i'll restore unroot and get rid of recovery.

EDIT: Nevermind it seems the vibrate issue is all sorted out now :) But now theres another problem. When I turn my phone off the Home back and search etc buttons light up and don't turn off......

EDIT: OHHH CRAPPP!!!! Can't restore the stock 2.2.2 :( I'm so screwed. It won't boot up. I hate my life. Any way of restoring to stock android 2.2.2? I need to return it!! DARN IT I shouldn't of ever trusted Clockworkmod! I knew it wouldn't work!

Hi, I need to return my white note that was bought from expansys as it has screen issues. I remember the csc code was XEU and I could not choose any other without flashing a multi csc rom. Ca someone tell me what the original rom was? I think it had a KKA and KK5 kernal maybe but forgot to write it down. Also Kies was saying there was no update which is why I changed the csc and flashed the LA4 rom by mobile odin. When the phone first switched on it was in english it that helps.

Flash some of the stock KKA available. And then *#272*Device IMEI# in the dialer and if XEU is in that list just choose it and it will hardreset the phone with XEU as CSC. But mine came with ATO and not XEU. Some of the KKA roms maybe has XEU as choosable CSC :)

Just flashed my white 16 GB Note yesterday trough mobile odin and had to do the CSC change to DBT because after flashing a multi-CSC-firmware the productcode goes to KOR.

Flash a regular samsung firmware and there shouldn't be a problem at expansys.

This should reset the flashcounter and the KOR-CSC shouldn' bother them.

But to be sure, do the *272*IMEI#-thing and change the CSC to your liking.
