[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
U need to put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD (not in any folders) boot to hboot and let it find the zip accept the update and let it install, once its done installing don't reboot scroll down to recovery and select it, download a rom to your PC, in recovery mount the USB ms and transfer the rom to your SD card, then go to wipe and wipe all options except battery stats and the SD card the navigate back to the main menu and select install zip from sd , navigate to your rom zip and select it let it update, then reboot and you should have a working phone, if you can't get to recovery after installing it , the device may have been bricked by twrp recovery which will let you into hboot but screws up the partitions so you can't flash anything in which case its done and there is no fix, if you can enter recovery tho you will be all good and able to flash a new rom and boot the phone up to activate it, since it isn't activated at this point I suggest installing a stock rooted rom or tommytomatoes classic as you will need one of those to use epst to activate the phone once activated you can flash any rom you like, you just need a stock or close to stock rom to activate it given it has a clean esn and can be activated on sprint, if the esn is bad your only options are to flash it to another carrier such as boost mobile, cricket or metropcs or use it as a wifi only device

[Kindle Fire General] nednarb:
Just thought I would throw out there some methods my family uses to keep our kids Kindles active despite its very small memory. We have children 12 and 4, and they love their Kindles.

First our Kindles are rooted and run cm7 w/ ics theme.

We don't use Amazon anything because of root, but we have everything already in place to cover that. We have a Netflix account for video (My 4 year old son loves the plethora of cartoons available) and we use Google's FREE streaming music application.

Now this is pretty basic stuff, and works great where you have WIFI. However what do you do when you are on the road? Our solution is based around our mobile smartphones. My wife and I both have them, and luckily are grandfathered into unlimited data plans. Which is important if you are going to be using them to also support Kindles.

While in the car my wife will support one kindle, and I will support another. Are phones are also rooted and we use two Apps to do this Wifi Tether and Wifi File Explorer. If you are not familiar Wifi Tether will allow your phone to be a mobile hotspot without paying for the extra plan fees. Wifi File Explorer simply allows your device to explored by another device. You also can put this app on the Kindle.

We use the Wifi Tether app to provide internet service to the Kindles allowing them to function fully. Kids can download apps, surf web, netflix, stream music etc.

We use the Wifi File Explorer to take advantage of our phones larger and changeable memory. You can store anything on your phone such as movies not available on netflix, and your kids can then watch them on their kindle. You can buy a large memory card to support this, or even use multiple smaller ones. You would just have to switch them out like you would a cd or dvd.

You of course can place your own movies on a file streaming service. However Wifi File Explorer, and using phones memory doesn't require a signal to work. So if your somewhere where is cell service is weak you may have problems streaming.

I am sure others may have some thoughts or tips for what they do. I just thought I would share ours. Also a verizon 3g signal will support two kindles watching netflix, but it gets pretty choppy. That's why we try to use one kindle per phone. Plus while drive the wife and I are usually using Google Music for ourselves. ;)
[Kindle Fire General] Kranix:
I have a HTPC with 16TB of storage. I use Emit to stream video to my Android devices (including 3 Kindle Fire's). It works pretty well with video up to 720p, my wireless infrastructure is 802.11g though.

I use Emit to also stream outside of my local network, my Kindle Fire's while tethered (using ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher & WiFi Tether) to the 4G LTE connection of one of our phones stream video pretty well.

I use File Expert to access SMB shares on my HTPC over WiFi. It works great. I can copy files to/from my HTPC. I can install .apk files over WiFi. I pretty much only use the internal storage of my Kindle File for apps and books. I even copy my ROM backups to my HTPC using File Expert, no reason to keep them on the KF since I can copy them back over if I need to during recovery.

On the road though I have an 80GB iPod Classic connected to the AUX port of the built in DVD player in my truck. It has pretty close to 80GB of childrens content in .mp4 - more than my kids will watch during a single ride anyway.

I'm not a big fan streaming services like Netflix. I rarely use the Amazon instant streaming service on my Kindle Fire (unroot with OTA Rootkeeper) or on the Roku 2 I bought just to stream video from Amazon since it's include with Prime.

I love the Popcorn Hour and Squeezebox remote apps that I side loaded on my KF. The Roku 2 one that I bought (Roku Remote 2.16) is alright, the keyboard is pretty meh and kind of ruins it for me. I guess I'm just not a fan of the Roku 2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
Nice. I've read reviews from NY Post or was it Huntington Post saying the phone wouldn't be the next big thing because of the S-Pen, which reminds everyone of the Palm. Then again, I know any reviews from them are downgrading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
You know all those Apple fanboy sites like BGR don't even try to mask their complete bias and contempt for anything that's non-Apple. And this seems to mostly apply to ones that are based in the US. I noticed international ones usually give in-depth and honest reviews of gadgets.

As for the S-Pen in the Note, I don't see why a lot of people are complaining about it...it's not like it adds a ton of weight. And if you don't want to use it, just pretend like it's not there. Or take it out of the slot and store it away.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] thekillingtree:
not to be confused with airdroid (which works if you're on the same network) but LogMeIn (http://logmein.com) works great on the touchpad using cm9. i was able to remote in to my mac running osx lion and move files to dropbox for transfer.

logmein is free for the desktop version but the mobile version is $30. worth it, imo. this is going to save me many nights of running back to the office late for me.

PLEASE

tell me the best ways to make a long battery life

I cant even reach 4 hours on full-charged battery

P.S: my evo is GSM ... not CDMA
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Put your phone down every now and then...

Seriously, if you're only getting 4 hours, and you're using it moderately, then you need the battery replaced. Take it to Sprint, or call them and they should ship you a new one.

Otherwise, try a few of these things

Turn off 4G (If you have it on all the time, it'll burn your battery QUICK!)

Turn off GPS (Only use it when you need it. That's why the switch is convenient)

Put your screen on Auto-Brightness (Menu > Settings > Display > Brightness. Then check Automatic Brightness)

Make sure you have good signal (I've had this problem with ALL my phones. If you don't have a strong signal where you are, your battery will die quickly from searching all the time. Happens to me everytime I go to the Amway Center for Magic games. I just turn off my mobile network, or turn Airplane Mode on.)

Don't use Live Wallpapers (Even when your phone is sleeping, it's still running and will kill your battery.)

Check for a new kernal (If you're rooted, and you're running a custom ROM, then try using a kernal that will save your battery. Can anyone else recommend a good one?)

And one more thing, games will kill your battery quick (Some I've noticed are Words with Friends and Angry Birds)
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
really? 4 hours? that seems very low. most of us can go a full day with no problems - medium to moderate use.

try this.. for now..

turn off background data, auto sync

turn off all network location settings

navigate to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks... uncheck the box that says "always-on mobile data"

turn off blue tooth if it is still on

turn off auto-brightness and set a pre-defined brightness level... set the slider just under 1/4 up - so about 20%

you will see significant battery increase. if you don't, you have another issue, but we'll cross that road later if need be. also, how much do you use your phone?

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

i wouldn't jump to any conclusions about the battery being defective just yet. it could be a wakelock issue from an app... but again, we'll look into that later. one step at a time here
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
That or the rom and kernel combo he is using lol....
[HTC EVO 3D] Jwan:
I was using unity kernel for GSM

somebody reviwed this kernel and sayed that it takes 1% of battery every 70 minutes of idle

but for me ... in 70 minutes >>>. more than 2 %

I dont know what's WRONG !
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:

[Android General] ppzoid:
Since there is no way of automatically syncing encrypted files i thought about how to manage this in a way that is at least somehow automatic.

I ended with this quite simple but useful setup:

I installed Wuala on my PC (Windows) and on my Asus TF101 Transformer. In addition i installed Folder Sync which can sync with shares.

The first step is to tell Folder Sync which folder/files on my Transformer it should sync to which folder (and how often and when it should perform a sync).

Second i let Folder Sync backup my files to my PC.

The third step is to set up an automatic sync in Wuala's desktop client.

That's it - automatic and encrypted sync.
[Android General] ppzoid:
I just realised, that the process isn't perfect for Titanium backups because they are stored with a date in the filename. This keeps adding new versions when doing another backup. I haven't found a way of switching this off within TI. Perhaps someone has an idea?
[Android General] codesplice:
Why not just put the encrypted files in your dropbox, and use DropSync on Android to automatically keep them in sync?
[Android General] ppzoid:
I don't like the idea of encrypting my files on the device and Wuala is using transparent encryption without transmitting my password.
[Android General] dadnammit:
Encrypted automatic CLOUD sync for full device backup!

Like the original poster (@ppzoid), I want automatic encrypted backup, but to the cloud from wherever I am, not to a machine on my home network. And importantly, I want automated end-to-end encryption and backup of any file(s) I choose so that I can keep all of the data I value on my device backup up and accessible via my PC as well. (My Android device is already encrypted, and my PC is using whole disk encryption.)

In response to [MENTION=1036233]codesplice[/MENTION] :

Because this requires manual steps to encrypt the files first. I want automated, encrypted backup of any file. If you sync plaintext files to DropBox, anyone who hacks DropBox (or subpoenas them, though I'm more worried about hackers) can access your files.

I love FolderSync and have been using its automation rules to sync my data to DropBox. But now that I want encryption at rest, I see two potential options.

The first is a product called BoxCryptor that layers cross-platform client-side encryption onto DropBox. But I haven't downloaded it and am not clear from the documentation if files can be modified and uploaded with their Android app or only accessed for reading. Further, to integrate BoxCryptor with my FolderSync setup would likely require some extra steps like a local copy to a "synced" folder first, and it might prove tricky.

So, I'm going with the second option, which is switching to the Amazon S3 cloud. FolderSync already supports S3 client side encryption, so I just need to do a few steps:

1) Create an access key in S3 with read/write permissions only for a new bucket I will create for my Android backup.

2) Add this new S3 account to FolderSync.

3) Modify my FolderSync synchronization rules to use the new S3 account.

VOILA! I will have my files encrypted at rest on my Android device, automatically backed up to S3 after client-side encryption, and then accessible from my PC via an S3 download tool like S3Fox. The only thing I think I will lose is the fancy autosync to PC that the DropBox client provides. But I figure if I search more I can likely find a similar S3 client for windows.

GsII Root

First you need to find the correct place your ROMS are located in this forum, you may have to search a bit for your Carrier Branded GsII. For example the GsII for Sprint is called the Epic 4G Touch. Dont get the wrong version for your phone or it could cause you problems as each carrier has a special hw version of each line of phones regardless if the manufacturer is the same.

You can user ODIN and load a stock-rooted ROM on the phone. Then use CWM once you get it rooted to load updates or new ROMS.

Hi people :)

I searched through the forums but haven't found anything similar to this.

I downloaded and installed EzInput Keyboard on my HTC Touch 2 a little while ago. It asked to reset and I pressed okay.

It reset, but stuck in the "HTC" screen. It took ten, maybe fifteen minutes and it went into a screen that says that it can't reboot since I installed something from an untrusted source. It asked me to press 'Send' to reset my device and any other key to cancel. I pressed another key but it did nothing. And I don't exactly want to reset my device since I have some stuff I don't want to lose.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I tried pressing the Send Key (I assumed is the answer key?) and it doesn't do anything.

http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobile-technology/galaxy-note-lame-tablet-lousy-smartphone-186387

Even though I don't have my Note yet, the real user reviews I've read so far, unless they've all been shills by Samsung employees, would seem to contradict the notion of the Note as a "pathetic failure". I guess I'll know later today...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
That's because they're clueless. They're reviewing it as a Tablet, which it is not. All of the respectable reviewers (Engadget, CNET, etc.) are treating it like a phone with some tablet features. It is not supposed to be competing with tablets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
I didn't get through the whole thing, but he complained that there was no split keyboard option "like the iPad" for landscape mode, and that the stock browser reports the device as a phone, so mobile websites load by default.

30 seconds in the Market should solve both concerns. So I figured there was no reason to read the rest of it.
