[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
Zune randomly renames your mp3s when it adds to your phone. The problem you are running into is you can't do what you are wanting to do and have Zune read the file. The file system doesn't work that way. (At least to my knowledge.)

Why not just add the mp3's on your pc through zune so that it syncs everything?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Zune not only renames files when it syncs them to the phone, it also adds them to a database (this is the important thing). Just putting the media file into the correct folder (\My Documents\Zune\Content\...) doesn't work anyhow; the phone's media player won't know the file is there because it won't be in the database.

I've already look through the other threads of users with the same issue, but none seem to have exactly the answer I'm looking for.

I was running windows phone 7 on my htc hd2, which was easy enough to do.

but yesterday I decided I wanted to put android back onto it, so I downloaded

Energy_2.8.2012.SensationXL from here. Followed all the steps in the thread, but now everytime I turn on the phone I get the error "NAND yaffs2 boot mount failed" and then just clicks straight over to the boot menu

so, as stated in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971268 I tried to "task29" the phone through the HD2 Toolkit app, and start again.

But all I get when trying to: task 29, update to/ install magldr 1.13 or clockwork, it just gives me an error [264] connection.

I'm unable to get onto the tri-coloured usb flashing screen that I used when I put WP7 on it, i've tried putting it in 'usb flasher' mode from the menu to no avail..

is there somehow a way to put the new ROM I downloaded ^^^^ onto the phone by switching it over to mass storage mode,

and then selectiong option 3: boot AD NAND?
[HD2 General] uyong:
how about return to WM,then try task29 and MAG or CLK
[HD2 General] julz1111:
I've always done the task29 and wiped it via HD2 Toolkit, but it's still stuck on the magldr boot menu :(

does the USB flasher option be the same at the bootloader (three-coloured screen) for flashing the new android rom?
[HD2 General] julz1111:
If I simply loaded the android rom onto the SD card via an adapter, would that work if I went through the MAGLDR boot menu?

EG: 9: services, 1: boot settings, 1: boot source, 1: android from sd

..yes?

I'm at my wits end here guys!

I'm well aware of how to get into the three coloured bootloader screen, but the HD2 just wont do it!

I've done it numerous times before with this very handset from WM 6.5, then android (can't remember what version) , then WP7, and now it's decided to stop doing it when I want to go back to android, and the task29 has wiped it all, so I can't even simply revert back to WM6.5..

if someone could give me some step-by-step instructions on either a nand or SD android rom and the steps I need to take to get it working with that, bearing in mind the 'stuck on magldr' issue I have.

I can't remember if I stated it in my previous post but ever since I did the task 29, anything I try to do ie: update magldr to v1.13, update clockwork, or anything like that, it just give me an error saying it isn't connected via usb.

and now (started a few min ago) it isn't being recognised by the computer when I plug it in, even if i try and use 'mass storage' from the menu, whereas yesterday it was
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Try flashing it back to window 6.5.... nbh.img?
[HD2 General] simadams:
Yes, I agree with the others.

When I try a new ROM and it fails for some reason or another, I always just go back to win6.5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623283) and start over.

A bit of a hassle, but have found this to be the most reliable way so far.
[HD2 General] julz1111:
how can I flash it back to 6.5 if I cant get to the bootloader/ when it doesn't recognise the phone when it's plugged in
[HD2 General] kompheak:
When flash back to 6.5... you don't need a computer. All you need is an SD card. Download the correct file that matches to your country... extract the file... pull out the nbh file and rename it leo... then place it on the root of your SD... then boot.

This is a short run down of how to get it back to stock. Search a little... cause I know there is a thread that tells you how to do it in detail... plus it have all the files that you'll need.

Hey guys!

I am in the market for a new 7" android tablet. My motivation for getting one is so that I can read PDFs on the go. I am a student and being able to read stuff on the go is a huge plus to me and my phone's 4.3 inch screen, be that it is huge real estate for a phone, is just too small for reading.

Why specifically 7 inch? Well, when I discussed with friends, I learned that 7 inch tablets are much lighter and easier to carry around. Plus they are easier to pull out off your bag and read on a cramped bus, and given that I go to college the university shuttle is *very* cramped. Plus they are cheaper. So, there it is. I am hunting for a good 7 inch tablet.

I have two options in mind right now. (A) Amazon kindle fire. It is dirt cheap and does the job, i.e. read PDFs. Cons, it is a very basic tablet and is very underpowered. It has other drawbacks, such as no SD card slot, no out of the box market support and it runs Gingerbread. Eww. (B) Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus. It is great, nice and everything and it is Honeycomb and is well powered.

I want to choose a Tablet that has an unlocked bootloader, has the least hardware/software issues and glitches and that has a vibrant dev community. So, people please suggest a tablet in this vein!

Thanks in advance!

I read about the Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch. Man, I hate to buy a Galaxy Tab 7.0 at the cusp of the release of the 7.7... It is such a ***** to buy a piece of tech, just to see it get outdated in a week or a month! :(

I hate all these companies releasing gadgets soo quickly!

Edit:

Does anyone know the purported price of the 7.7" one? If it is too costly, I'll close my eyes and pick the 7.0". Else, I may have to wait!

Guys, I just learned that the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus has some issues:

1. Something called SOD (sleep of Death) 2. Some WiFi troubles.

I tried asking the people in the Galaxy Tab 8.9 forum about issues it has. I didn't get a reply yet.

I have a few queries though. Compared to a 7 inch tablet, how less portable is a 8.9 inch one? Is it just as portable that I should be able to pull it out in a crowded bus and read a PDF file on it just fine?

Secondly, the 8.9 does NOT have a SD card slot. Now, that is a downer. No way to freely expand memory.

BUT: The Galaxy 8.9 has ICS/CM9 ROMs!!! That alone can sway me towards Galaxy Tab 8.9. Granted the 7.0 plus may get ICS too, but looks like it hardly has any ROMs at all. And there was one thread there asking whether devs are looking into coding for it and the reply was the devs may wait till official ICS is out, since it is a PITA to dev without proper drivers available. Hmm...

What do you guys say?

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
LOL!

Well, I am not planning at Transformer prime level monies! As I said in the OP, I am planning to get a 7-8 inch tablet for the portability.

I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9 vs Galaxy tab 7.0 plus. As far as portability is concerned, is the Galaxy tab 8.9 just as portable as the 7.0 plus? For instance, can I pull either of them out of my bag in a crowded bus and read a PDF (of course while sitting).
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Well, I don't have a lot of experience with any of them except the xoom. I've owned one for almost a year now. It's a bit larger than what you're looking for but when it comes to custom roms, mods, or what have you, there's plenty to choose from. The bootloader can be unlocked so there's already a bunch of ICS roms available for it (CM9 included). Plus a pretty good selection of custom kernels to choose from. I'm not sure about the Xyboard. Is it un-lockable? Don't know. Whatever you buy, do your homework. If you can't unlock it, I'd pass. Unless you don't care about changing things. ;)

Custom roms will get you things like support for external USB drives, keyboards, mice and what have you. Perhaps they are coming with support for those things built in now. I don't know. They are things worth having though. IMHO.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Do you find your Xoom portable? I.e. is it easy to take out in the bus to read? Seems like this is my standard portability test! :D

Is it too heavy or can you easily hold it in your hand and read stuff on it?

EDIT: So, now I have the choice of the Xoom, Tab 7.0 plus and 8.9!!! Damn it. I started with 7.0 plus and now the list has grown to 3! :D

I'll just go to Best buy and try all three of them and see which I like best. Plus the best bang for the buck factor too...
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Well, I have a friend who has a Kindle Fire and, well, to tell you the truth, I don't see mine being any harder to get out of the bag than that thing. :) It's something though that I can't really say is right for you or not. For me, if the money isn't an issue, I'd go for more screen real-estate any time. They aren't THAT big. Just my thoughts on it. You might feel differently. ;)

What about the Acer tablets?

I know the Acer Iconia 100 is on the way out but I'm sure there will be something to replace its 7" form factor. I've been looking at the Acer Iconia 200 - WiFi only, SD card slot, 8 or 16GB memory. good prices (sub $400 for the 200). Micro USB and full size USB host. Most of the reviews have been pretty positive that I have seen. And the 200 has ICS now.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Money range from you in OP is NOT stated...sooooo I will assume the best.

Size I'm sure is an issue, and you want more portability...sooooo just go buy one dude, they alp have return policies, and who knows...usually gut feeling is wrong, and the other choice is right.

Btw, guys, do you know what the difference is between the Exynos SoC found in Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus versus the Tegra 2 on Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9?
[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
You could try a nook color. Then you could triple boot stock firmware and CM7 and CM9. Check out the Android development section of the nook color.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
I don't know anything, but I will remind you that the tegra 2 chips are in our phones (x2) and I remember reading somewhere that nvidia are assholes that locked up all the software resources to do with that chip, I believe.

I'm going to go with +1 for nook color. Size/portability wouldn't be an issue, and you definitely have options to sustain a flashing addiction.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Get a piece of cardboard, cut out a 7", 8" and 10" tablet, take a ride on the bus and see what's easy to use. Don't forget to use some crayola crayons on them to make 'em look real. :)

Keep in mind weight. I have a VTAB1008 and they're not light. I read somewhere that many people like to be able to support their tablet with one hand, maybe as they lay in bed reading. Might be something to consider since you started at a 7" and talked about reading PDF's.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Hmm... what pisses me off about almost all devices is the storage space. For instance, the tab i got has an advertised space of 16 GB. But it actually has 13.11 GB!!!

By the way, do you guys really think 13.11 GB is enough? Given that this has no external sd card?
[Motorola Droid X2] slinker1:
Well I am thinking it will be enough now that you've bought :) Personally i have two transformers and a nook tablet for momma she loves hers but it has 64 plus does have microsd slot ,and the transformers are both 32 with an added 32 microsd all that being said you will probably be fine .

rumors that google is speeding up its dev process and is pushing 5.0 around april.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
these rumors are all over the net and have been sense the day android 4.0 was released. its rumored that 4.0 was just to integrate honeycomb and gingerbread. wasn't supposed to be as major as everyone sees it. 5.0 has been rumored as strictly tablet and laptop android. they have rumored that 5.0 will take over chrome OS and actually try to get into the desktop competition. also it is rumored that android is trying to work with Microsoft to have android 5.0 and windows 8 dual boot on touch screen laptops and computers right out of the box.

also i cant wait till google makes their own car lineup. a car nearly completely operated my android and to work with your phone. i know apple has an app and is sponsored by some car maker that allows you to start and unlock your car from anywhere in the world. google needs to go a step further. make your cars electronics completely customizable. like changing the theme of your dash board (speed dials, AC, radio, ect.) think about how awesome that would be.

who knows what will really happen. google bought motorola a while back. I imagine its a matter of time before the next motorola flagship tegra 3 phone comes out. its possible that maybe they would release one with 5.0.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
You can forget about this rumor about Android 5.0 coming out in April because it ain't happening.

For one thing the blogs were referencing Google's original Google I/O event dates of April 24-25th which is why the rumors started with an April release. However Google I/O has been rescheduled for June 27-29th. Don't expect Google to release any Android version until it has gone through Google I/O. Honestly with so much fragmentation with ICS, I don't expect Google to release Jelly Bean until the October time frame like last year.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
It's definitely not coming out for a while, and although the thought of better, more efficient android updates is exciting, we should all be content with ICS for now, it's almost to the point of being fully worthy of being a daily on the Mopho now.

With some hackery to the Kernel and ROM the sdcard can be made to run ext4 or NTFS instead of FAT32, allowing files up to the full size of the sdcard. But then you run into issues swapping the sdcard to other devices as not everything supports those filesystems, so might not read it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
So this morning when the local AT&T store opened I went and purchased the white note; Below are a few impressions after using the device non stop for 8 hours.

I asked the AT&T employee right off the bat which way he leaned toward the initial charging of the device. He recommended popping the sim / battery in and running it down until it reached the battery low level and then letting it charge to full, which I did.

It took about 3 hours to reach 10% from whatever it came out of the box charged at. During that time I synced Google, downloaded Netflix and various other apps to test out performance with.

In my area we only have 4G speeds and no idea when lte will be here so all of my initial testing was done with WiFi off using only 4G. I can't give you exact numbers since I had no network benchmarking tools installed, but I can tell you that browsing on the Note, compared to the HTC Inspire; The Note is much faster. Same with Market access and App downloading. To use as an example, Angry Birds Rio took 8 seconds from the time I clicked Install until it had downloaded and was installing.

Netflix downloaded and installed without incident, and movie playback on 4G was smooth, There was generally a 3 - 5 second period between pressing play and the start of any given movie. Skipping around in movies generally took 3 seconds to sync and continue playing. As far as graphical lag or stuttering I never experienced any video issues at all. Total time in NetFlix was about 30 Minuets.

Google Music playback was equally quick. It synced with my account and music would start streaming within 2 seconds of clicking play. Pandora had similar results, within a couple of seconds, changing between my defined stations and music would start right up.

Google Maps / Gps / Latitude: VERY FAST gps response. Took 10 seconds the very first time I started maps, 3 to 4 seconds each time after that initial fix. Indoors (Non metal building) resulted in a decent gps fix, that's something I never could get on my HTC Inspire.

I decided to use Swype over the default Samsung keyboard since I was use to it on my previous phone. Even holding in one hand and using my thumb, text input was fast and accurate, no lag. I can't give any input on the S-Pen as I am no artist, but pen to screen lag is less than those stupid department store screens where you sign your name.

Right now I'm getting ready to put my Dell Streak 7 / With Dock on eBay and re coupe some of the money I sent today, but I am VERY happy with this phone. I can't wait for ICS!
