...what the hell did you just say?? lol.

Android would be a lot more popular if they ran straight Android...such slick, beautiful, and powerful phones losing to the the fat, small screened simplistic and underpowered iPhone because of the goofy and crappy software loaded on them.

Carriers & manufacturers, the blood of Android is on your hands...
[General Topics] Exodian:
Android outsells iPhone almost 2 to 1 so how is it losing?
[General Topics] jonathan3579:
Well that's not entirely true. Huawei has mainly produced low end handsets here in the states. From everything I've seen and read, their handsets are emanating a quality on par with Samsung which says a lot. I think they're gonna do very well.
[General Topics] jessejames111981:
I have had experience with the Ascend phone which is a low end prepaid phone and I got to say at the time it released I think aside from a problem with the usb port (which evo 4gs at the time had) the build quality was decent and non-xda devs had it cooking with cm7 :)

vanilla android was nice and with the decent dev support it had that low end phone was keeping up with more powerful phones.

Ever heard of Intel's medfield?
[General Topics] leo321:
Maybe someday there will be a power efficient x86 processor in a phone but the medfield isnt it. Its a 32nm processor, but to match a 45nm ARM processor's power efficiency, it would have 28nm.
[General Topics] red12355:
... But it already matches 45nm ARM in power efficiency.

And where did you get that is has to be 28nm to match 45nm ARM? That's nonsense.
[General Topics] leo321:
My apologies, guess I've read wrong! Anyways it seems like a great chip, but it still needs to catch up to arm power efficiency... and arm has plans for a 20nm process later this year and 14nm the next year... It will be very interesting to see how Intel plays its hand in the mobile phone realm!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
I'm the proud owner of a Razer Megaladon headset and was wondering if there is a way to output sound via usb. Right now I plug it in and it has power, the speakers make the little pop noise and the control box lights up, but sound still comes out of the speaker.

Any help would be great thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
You could probably modify the /system/etc/asound.conf and have ALSA use your usb output.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
That sounds complicated lol. I don't mean to be a noob, but would you be able to point me in a direction to read on how to modify the file or could you tell me how to write something like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
I found the file, I just don't know what to change.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
From what I can tell, the .15 kernel doesn't have CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO enabled or built as a module, and most usb headphones require it. So that module would have to be built first, then insmod'd. I'll see if I can do this later since I have Asus wireless headphones that use a usb adapter that I'm also interested in getting to work with the TFP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
That would be awesome. I'd really appreciate it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
I built the modules just fine and they loaded into the kernel and can pick up my Asus headphone usb dongle. Unfortunately I mistyped something in the asound.conf and it seems to have hosed my TFP. I probably should not have attempted futzing with it while inebriated. No CWM to put the original file back.

Off to Squaretrade I go. Moral of the story? Get CWM recovery working first then futz with ALSA stuff.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
Damn. That sucks. Let me know if there is anything I can help out with.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
Just RSD'd the .902 file trying to update my phone finally, and for some reason I'm bootlooping. I've never had a problem with RSD Lite before and now I seem to get the crappy end of the stick. It got through all 15 steps, then to the 'reboot' process where the little android pops up on the phone that comes up when you are updating your firmware, then it booted up and now RSD lite says 'Please manually power up this phone' and its just looping looping looping looping looping...so then I pop the battery out, plug my phone back in and boot to fastboot and RSD Lite says 'PASS'..as in everything worked..... what should I do? re-do this?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
nevermind i just went into stock recovery and factory reset and got it fixed. but i'm still on 886, even though RSD Lite said it went to 902

When i see a new post from facebook on my htc salsa's social widget on the desktop on the phone (new posts and time together at the bottom of desktop in the pghone) iget "Like Cannot Set" error message...

I try to open same post in firend stream (directly open it from applications) but nothing was changed...

I click all of the post and a menu open and i click "Like" and then my salsa give me an error message "Like Cannot Set"...

On the other hand if i try "Like" on the same post from facebook's offical app it is working successfully...

I get last update from htc for my phone with OTA but the problem still same...

How can i resolve that???...

Thanks...
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
hello newbie and welcome to the salsa forums!

im not totally getting what you mean......which ota update did you get or have you got? being as you havent fully filled out your profile on the right its hard to know your area.

i ask this as on 2.3.3 that problem never existed, well not to me anyway lol.

are you running 2.3.1/2.3.3 or 2.3.5?

as each new ota update has newer files/apps installed so before we can try and help resolve, plz find us this info.

to find this, goto setting, about phone. also while your there, can you get us the other info, ie software version etc.

also are you rooted? if you dont know what it means then thats a no lol..

please post this up so we can move forward :D

but its all your choice my friend...

Dear BigBearEvo;

If i make my htc salsa s-off and rooted, then can i get i back this action and can i turn it to orginal state (s-on and unrooted)

I searched that in the forum but i cant find nothing about that...

And if i make root to my phone which rom offer to me? After root can i install the original rom to my phone? And this combnation can make this "like cannot set" problem?

Thanks...
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
getting back to unrooted is easy and you wont find anything about it lol.

Basically if for some reason you didnt like your rooted phone....god forbid why lol, you can reinstall the RUU that is stock wth your handset. it will wipe your recovery off and revert you back to standard.

Roms available are

Iconic (based on stock but much much faster/better)

Iconic S (various Launchers available to play with)

See this post > Iconic & Iconic S

Instructions are all around these boards on how to do things.....i have do a few one2one instructions over gtalk and achieved root/recovery/rom all in an hr!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
i asked the exact same question a coupe days ago, i was told it would work but will disable the rogers specific features
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harry_fine:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you ask about installing the ROM. I'm asking about installing only the Kernel and Radio. So in effect, I'm asking, are the Rogers-specific features (wifi hotspot and NFC) located in the ROM, or in the Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I'm not sure if the NFC ability is part of the Kernel, the ROM, or both, but if you install the ROM, you will not have the "NFC" menu available even if NFC does continue to work with the phone. So, the best way to know if the kernel itself (and not the ROM) will mess up you hotspot and NFC is to do a nandroid backup and thry to flash the kernel. If it doessn't work, you can always restore your nandroid to exactly the place you made the backup from. The reason I suggest this is because it seems the kernel has a slightly different effect for different people so even if someone told you one thing...it may not apply to your situation. Hope this helped. The radio should not make a difference with the things you are concerned with, but if you flash the radio, you will need to relash a different radio (or the same you have now) if you don'y like it, because the radio lives in its own place and needs to be flashed by itslf.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
I am on rogers as well and I flashed the new modem and kernel seperately and together and as a Rogers user I honestly didn't see a speed boost on my end. I did two speed tests one with the da_g .3 rogers kernel with the rogers modem and got at least 2.5 mbps faster than the updated kernel and modem combo. Just my 2¢ on the subject.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Flash tpc v3, or any other Rogers based rom, u will still have ur hotspots and nfc. Any of dags kernels (0.3, or the one included in the tpc v3, 0.43pre2) or the stock Rogers kernel will still work with nfc and stuff. Stay away from faux kernels as their wifi tethering has been disabled. I personally recommend u avoid the UCLA3 modem and kernel as in my experience it doesn't increase speed o

or reception on Rogers network, its actually worse

If you have a problem with someone keep it between yourselves. You can argue with people all you want over pm.

Dev threads are for dev related materials. This means critiques, error reporting, LOGS, and relivent info. What this does not include is arguing with people. Also posts that comment to the op, saying I'm not flashing this because... please no.

Also replying to a question with this belongs here wastes space. If you don't know don't reply. If you do, answer it or post a link to a thread with the answer and then say this belongs here. We don't need 3 this belongs here to every question before someone has the heart to answer it. You're adding to the mess.
