If you like to pay the Apple tax then buy a Apple notebook. If you dont like to pay the Apple tax then just look for a good Asus or other brand.

But avoid Dell, Acer, HP if you can and specially Dell because they dont abide the warranty law of europe.

Acer and HP notebooks have high rate off defects ( Dell as well i believe ). I would just advise Asus ;)
[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
I am trying to create a script (script.sh) that is run from a flashable package in recovery. I have everything working except the script itself. All I want the script to do is append a few lines of text to a particular file.

So for example, this is basically what I have so far...

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -rw /system
echo "Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4" >> /dir/filename.ext

However, this code doesn't seem to work. I don't get any error messages, it just seems to go on as if it worked perfectly fine. But when I reboot and check the file, nothing has been appended to it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You need to tell it what file to echo the information to ;)
[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
I am though. Unless they *really* stripped down the Android version, it should be able to use multiple lines in quoted text. All 4 lines are in the quotes to be pushed to the specified file. Although I tried doing it all one line at a time too, and that didn't work either. It simply refuses to push anything I tried to the file.

Nevermind, Vorbeth has reminded me of the more efficient way to do it. So I'm fine now... lol.

Did Capy's ROM for the XL get deleted or has he decided to pull out of development for this device. Tried searching and can't find the answer, although some posts seem to indicate some kind of frustration on Capy's part.

I have his ROM installed, but as there seems to be no thread any more for his ROM, it looks like I will have to look to another ROM to satisfy my flashing addiction!!! Any recommendations?

[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
To be honest I don't know what has happened to Capy, all his threads have gone and he's gone off twitter too.

As for new roms my suggestions would be BinDroid or CoreDroid if you like heavily themed roms, or Danny from BinDroid has released some stock roms that have been tweaked. Alternatively there is WRE which is an ICS rom, now there is a couple of things with the ICS rom, not everyone can get data/3g when they have flashed it and everyone has problems with MMS and GPS doesn't seem to want to work with anything else than Google Maps and Navigation

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
With a plethora of cases available for the new AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note the decision on which case to buy can be a tough one. This review takes a look at Cimo Technologies' Matte Finish TPU Case.

​

Packaging:

Cimo presents the case in a dazzle free fair. The case is delivered in a simple plastic wrapping with the all to familiar cardboard cutout of a Note sitting in it. I don't think extravagant packing is needed for a case, and in theory, the less they spend on the packaging, the less the consumer pays for the product.

Aesthetics and Construction:

The case is made up of two layers: a high gloss black 'upper' that surrounds the top portion of the case and circles the screen and a matte 'lower' that protects the lower half and back of the phone. The material feels durable and does provide some texture that the nude Note doesn't have. The case extends over the lip around the phone and extends a touch above the screen for protection. Installation is a breeze. The case fits well on the Note and has very little play- something hard cases often can't offer. The ports are accessible and the cutouts for the S-pen, speaker, camera, and flash are lined up well.

The one drawback is that like most other TPU cases there are 'tags' left on this case that are left from when the case was molded. These do protrude from the case more than what I would have liked, but can easily be removed with a blade.

Overall Function:

First and foremost a case is there to protect the phone, and with my experience so far I think this case will perform well. There looks to be a good balance between thickness and protection which is a plus since no one wants to add too much bulk to their phones. The raised edge allows those who don't have a screen protector to set the phone face down and have a little extra security that the screen will be unharmed.

Unfortunately, this case is still a little too thick on the bottom to allow successful function with the Samsung Desktop Dock. Although the phone will sit in the cradle, the USB plug cannot span the extra distance the case puts between it and the port.

Verdict:

I've used quite a bit of TPU cases on my devices in the past and generally the experience has been a mixed bag. Cimo's offering, on the other hand, seems like a well made worthy choice. It's minimal heft, good fit, solid protection, and fingerprint resistant matte finish makes a strong case to be your next purchase :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jev3gs:
I actually have been using a tpu case from them also, same look just glossy black. They are great fiting tpu cases. I have a friend buying one for his nexus now also. I would recommend them for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
Looks like the case covers half of the speaker on the back of the device judging by one of the pics you've posted here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
Yes, I noticed that pic looked funny. I was swapping a few cases at the time and must not have got the case on perfectly when that pic was shot. When installed right the speaker is not obscured (although the cut out is a touch oversized).

Thanks for pointing that out.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tre3180:
I can't be the only one whose wifi has been acting up since the OTA update. I don't have an unlocked, flashed, etc. phone, just the official updates since I bought my Atrix last March. My wifi now periodically disconnects for a few seconds even if it was just fully connected. Very annoying while using apps, loading web pages, etc. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerowand:
I have had the same issue with wifi disconnecting at random times for a few seconds and then reconnecting. Mine is unlocked but I have not rooted since updating to 4.5.141.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weisey9:
I also had the issue since upgrading the OTA 4.5.141 update except after dropping a few times the wifi refused to pick up any networks at all and the bluetooth stopped working PERIOD!! It just so happens that I ended up having to replace one of the flex cables this morning since I couldn't hear any calls after my son got to the phone. I happened to have a water damaged atrix so i took the cable from that only expecting the call hearing issue to go away but immediately on boot to my surprise it said wireless networks available. I went on to check and sure enough it was now detecting networks and the bluetooth now turns on. Here's what happened initially maybe it will help any one else.

I constantly got the annoying OTA update available so after about 5 hours of being bothered by it I allowed it to download. I was running rooted with unlocked boot loader so I moved the boot patches found in the update file and did the update from CWM recovery (no info was available on xda at the time to guide me). Thought the update failed since it said something about the update~script seeing as I removed some entries from it. I rebooted to find it was on 4.5.141, wifi worked and so did bluetooth but then.....random restart. So upon reboot I noticed my WiFi didn't connect automatically so I checked only to find "Error" however bluetooth still worked....random restart again only to find none now worked. Tried different Roms, kernels, radios.....nothing worked. I contacted Motorola support who then referred me to Level 2 support which I never bothered calling. Though I read in other places about other android phones that it's a possibly hardware issue it never occurred to me seeing that my issue started happening AFTER the update. So I guess don't rule out the possibility of the update screwing up hardware (I guess...I know nothing of phones but that's what happened with me).

Update: I turned the bluetooth and WiFi on simultaneously and now the problem of WiFi dropping has re-occurred :(. I put in my MicroSD card and now it's no longer detecting networks or turning on bluetooth once again. Maybe a dev could shed some light on this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I think there are issues with the 37P radio which was flashed along with the update. If you are unlocked you can of course flash back to the 36P radio to verify.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weisey9:
I am currently back on .30P radio but I have already tried .36P and .37P with no luck. Maybe something from OTA update messed with something that doesn't get flashed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
WiFi dropping out

Same problem. Wifi drops out very 10-30 minutes just for a few seconds then reconnects. Before the update Wifi would stay connected for days without any issues. I am rooted only. I have the 37p radio. If anyone tried to go back to the 36p and it works could you please post instructions?

thanks.

PS i havent tried the bluetooth function yet.

The last reply in that thread on the motorola forums suggested changing the DHCP lease time on my router from forever to 24 hours and so far (15 minutes) I haven't had one disconnect. Longest I've gone since the update so hopefully this will solve the issue. *fingers crossed*
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
could be your wireless router's DHCP lease time setting of forever (change to something less)...worth a try.

edit: double post of what Tre3180 :)...some more info in the xda link
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tre3180:
Perhaps the issue was going on from before the update but just became MUCH more pronounced after. I also have a Belkin router, for what it's worth.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
Not likely. Most likely a bug introduced in the 2.3.6 build that we have. A lease time of forever = 0xffffffff = -1. Likely some new code treats this as "hey lease time has run out, go reconnect!!" instead of keep the connection.

It is a reconditioned one from Buy.com everyone is posting about.

199.99-$10 coupon=189.99 Then did the $50 credit for a new Freedom card and charged it to that which brings the total to 139.99. Should get it on Tuesday.

Wow thats an even better deal than what I got. I just bought a flyer today actually, $199 refurbished off buy.com, but I actually found a coupon for $10 off, but then added a $27 1-year service plan for it. It's a 16GB model. I was actually eyeing the evo view on newegg which was 32gigs, brand new, and $250, but the price went up $50 today so it made the decision easy on which one to buy.

[Acer Iconia A500] ohlin5:
Ok guys after doing a bit of reading and looking around I finally decided to root my A500. As far as I can tell, everything went fine, but I have a couple questions.

First, I hope I didn't dink myself, but after downgrading to 3.0.1 and using Iconia root, I installed Acer Recovery Manager and used that to get CWM 1.3.4.

I did do the backup when Acer Recovery Manager prompted me to, but I didn't do a nandroid backup in CWM before flashing the Thor 14.2 rom...is it too late to do one, or this going to cause an issue?

And second, am I correct in my understanding that you can switch back and forth between different ROM's as often as you want, just by following the step #3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205204

Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Psichi:
I don't get what you mean by "is it too late to do a nandroid backup"

If you want to back up a copy of your device from before you flashed the Thor rom.. yes, it is too late. A nandroid backup is like a recovery point in windows, it is a carbon copy of your current system configuration. You can make a nandroid backup at any point you want, but it will only give you a restorable version of what is currently on your device.

And yes, those are the steps for flashing a new rom on your device.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
The reason to do the backup BEFORE YOU FLASH your first rom .before you remove acer bloat ware. This is so you can go back to a full STOCK State . well other then root. But you can unroot as well.

so if you yes should do a backup. but it will be of the rom you flashed NOT The above near stock state.But you are not lost there are stock roms floating around. If you decided to take a ota and get back to stock there is still a way..

Hope this explains it better for you....

Do not get to flash happy.. Giggles..
[Acer Iconia A500] ohlin5:
Ok thanks for the replies...I don't anticipate myself needing to go back to full stock, as this Thor 14.2 seems to work great.

I'll go do a Nandroid on the current 14.2 and that way I at least have some back if worst comes to worst. Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] Reveers:
Glad you're enjoying it. I liked the 14.2 at first too, but then some odd problems started cropping up so I switched to a ROM from XDA and haven't looked back.

imo there's no reason to go stock any more, especially when you can overclock/underclock and get superuser access with a rooted device.

Ok look it is exactly the same method. But you have to press the link for v20a and once you redirect in the russian forum press the link from the 1. step. Then you will be redirected to the download. Next to the 218.71 there are 2buttons. Press the left and on the next screen press the button that will appear after 5seconds. Those are the bin files you need. And then do the procedure for the v20b but instead of the bin files it says there use the bin files you downloaded.
[LG Optimus Black] Pondera:
You are not gonna be able to root if you update to mexican V20a. I tried with my countires rom. It's a no go. Individual versions for countries does not have a root method unfortunately. LG made sure of that.

But, in the first link which gsal given you see there are 3 patched ROMs. V20"a","b" and the last one is "n" (not e, it's a typo). If you want a rooted Gingerbread, you're gonna have to flash one of these. I'll say go with V20b, thats what 'm using and its good.

You can't play minecraft pocket edition on your Ace. It's because our Ace has a armv6 (or whatever) processor, but a armv7 is needed.
