[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] callmeanoob:
Hi

First please pardon my english

I'm new in all these android things, and i'm interested in buying Evo view 4g because of it's price and all it's positive review

but since i live outside us/europe (FYI i live in indonesia) i wont be able to get sprint contract

there's this 1 negative review, i'll paste it here

because this 14th of march my friend who lives in US will come to indonesia, it's $100-$200 cheaper to buy in US than in indonesia, so i have less than 2 weeks to decide on what tablets to buy

in indonesia CDMA have better internet quality compared to GSM, that's why i'm considering view to be my 1st android tablet, since i can't use sprint service, i'll have to inject the tablet with indonesian CDMA provider, will i miss a lot of things like the review above stated? especially #1

1: You will NOT ever be able to update the Profile, Firmware or PRL of this device. This is very bad.

Thank you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Wow, that reviewer doesn't know a thing about the tablet. All of that is completely false. Pretty much everyone around here doesn't use the device on Sprint.

1. The firmware updates come from HTC via the internet. While Sprint has a hand in approving them, they don't actually send them out. I had no problems downloading, installing, and using the OTA Honeycomb update without any Sprint service. You don't need any PRL updates if you're not using it on Sprint.

2. You can easily turn the cellular radios off - it's called airplane mode. You can still use WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS in airplane mode. There are also other simple ways to deactivate them discussed in this thread.

3. When you boot up the tablet from being turned completely off, you get a prompt to activate it, which you can quickly dismiss. There are no other Sprint prompts at any time. There's no "nagging" whatsoever. And you can even get rid of that activation prompt with root or without root.

4. There are never any interruptions to activate the tablet after the first one when booting it up.

5. The screen is exactly the same as the screen on the Flyer.

Now, as far as being able to use it on an Indonesian CDMA provider, that's something I can't authoritatively give an answer on. In the U.S., it can be successfully flashed to be used on only one other CDMA carrier - Boost - and that's because Boost uses Sprint's network. I'd say there's a good chance you may not be able to use it with any Indonesian CDMA carrier, but I can't say for sure.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] callmeanoob:
wow thank you for the answer, i think i'll get this baby then

is the offer from amazon $289 the best offer atm in US? i'm planning on buying the stylus and screen guard also

when i tried to search in google about where to buy, all i got is reviews with no store that sells this product except for amazon, and yes i have no knowledge about international stores
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jjday7:
One thing that kept me away from the view was the updates such as possible ICS will have to be pushed by sprint. I would assume just like a phone that the updates are controlled by the carrier and if they want you to have it. This alone makes the flyer a better deal in my opinion. This is am assumption of course. Also with out having a sim slot this becomes very limited on what carriers it can be used on. I know the flyer comes without sim access but the view is locked to sprint. The 32gb model looked very appealing at 250 but the negatives out weigh the positives.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
As I mentioned in my post, this isn't true. While Sprint does approve the updates, the updates are actually built and sent out by HTC. This is the case with Android phones as well - the manufacturers build and send out the updates with the carrier's approval. The carrier does not push them out. My View has never been activated on Sprint, and I received the OTA update to Honeycomb shortly after I purchased it. It all works via the internet and has nothing to do with cellular connectivity. You'll still get any and all official updates on the View even if it's never been activated with Sprint.

The lowest I can find for current prices via a quick search is $274.94 on eBay. It's been down as low as $239 brand new a few times over the past three months, so it will probably drop again. But if you're operating in a specific time frame for the purchase, that range seems to be what they're currently going for.

I use Team ICSSGS RC4.2 with Semaphore 0.9 (and 0.8.x before) for quite some time now, and very happy with it.

I even have BLN working with enabling it in NSTools.

My problem is that every time I have the phone restarted for ever reason there is, I get a boot loop, until I clear NSTools settings in recovery mode.

Does anyone have any other way to have BLN without the use of NSTools?

But I'll give it another try...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulituan:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
I've seen the threads saying the difference is just the regions and where they come from, but is there ANY actual hardware/kernel/firmware/software(excluding bloatware) differences between these phones?

Reason I'm asking if because I'm trying to get SE.Tweaked working on my Play. And based on the outcome and people posting on their thread, people with R800i phones are having no problems, but people with R800a and R800at phones are getting problems.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
They operate on different HSPDA(3g) bands.

r800i: 900/2100

r800a/at: 850/1900

I do believe all models are quadband GSM though. So you should have basic calling/texting no matter where so long as you have the right APN's.

Im guessing SE.Tweaked is a rom. Honestly just try it, You can always flash back to your stock, just grab it from the compilation thread.

hello, everyone,

I'm an newbie developer for android device.

Recently I want to save my data into an txt file using FileOutputStream.

Here is my code:

FileOutputStream outStream=this.openFileOutput("2222.txt",Context.MODE_APPEND + Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
String data1 = Float.toString(cpuUsage);
Log.i("savedata",data1);
outStream.write(data1.getBytes());
outStream.close();

The code worked perfectly.

But the problem is I can not find where to see this file on my computer.

I was told that the fileoutstream will ususally save file in data/(packages name)/files.

But data directory is empty in file explorer on Eclipse.

Anybody please help..

Is there currently a way to do this as easily on the GNex? Other than using the MHL cable?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I hope this will one day be available for our phone. I especially like the fact that you can run two separate apps at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
Not wirelessly as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised if this feature gets ripped from this phone on to other devices once its released though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Outside of using a MHL cable, you can really only stream media from your device wirelessly but you need a receiver device like an AppleTV, PS3, Xbox 360, etc.

It won't mirror the display, only play back photos, music, video.

I use DoubleTwist, since I have two of each above.

That is what I am hoping will happen!

Thread to discuss how to solve wifi problems on cm7 kangs with the new kernel & wifi driver, like my kang here: http://kan.gd/1h7f

updated: wifi problem fixed, fix here: http://kan.gd/1h8g flash with clockworkmod.

problem with phone not waking up after long calls still exists, that will be fixed tomorrow.
[Blade General] PoTT3R:
Wbaw, I installed your latest KANG (cm-7.2.0-blade-KANG-wbaw-120225), and also have the same wifi problem, like here. (Can not post there, because I haven't got the 10 posts)

Wiped and format everything before install. It says "scanning...connecting...disconnected". I've tried everything from changing the encryption, to changing the SSID, nothing helped. I have a Linksys WAG54GS router, "G" network, channel 10 - 2.457GHZ, encryption is WPA2-PSK. Attached a logcat log from boot, if it helps recognizing what's the problem.

With other KANG and with older kernel & wifi driver, my phone connects to my home wireless network.

Thank you for your help! ;)
[Blade General] wbaw:
I'll probably have to make a couple of test kernels for you, it looks like the new wifi driver is failing. It's either the new driver & kernel source or wifi undervolting, but I don't think it's due to undervolting.

You can also try this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22887053&postcount=92 it's the same except I removed some useless looking files from the wifi driver for the kang, they're in that package.

I'll make a couple of packages tomorrow for testing.

If you have any problems with my kernel, please use the issue tracker, open an issue there & I can respond: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/issues
[Blade General] PoTT3R:
I will open an issue in the issue tracker tomorrow.

Right now i have to get data back from my SD card, because i accidentally formatted it... :D
[Blade General] PoTT3R:
You probably know that by now, that the new wifi driver works only with 802.11b network, so if your router was set to "G-only", the phone could not connect. Of course mine was set to that. I set to "mixed", and it connects without problem.

Can't wait to test your kernel for the GPU overclock :D Thanks!
[Blade General] wbaw:
Seems strange, it seems to connect at 'g' speeds for me, but my router is set to 11b/g/n auto.

It looks like the new wifi driver causing the problem rather than the kernel, unfortunately I think it's the only wifi driver that works with the new kernel source.

No regrets for following reasons:

I was NOT gonna hang on to my old Cappy for another 5 months when the old girl had barely been chugging along since the fall.

I will believe the hype around quad-core processors when I see it in action. Hard to believe that performance will so outpace dual-core processors by enough for the casual user (me) to notice, and I'm also nearly certain that the first quad-core devices will be battery chompers.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SMARTPHONEPC:
Yeah me too I read it at http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/27/th...d-1-5ghz-4-8-inch-1080p-display-ceramic-case/ which cited BGR.. still (its own quad didn't surprise me) but 1080p!

Still curious about its battery & speaker/s (hopefully more impressive than the Note's speaker). Would it have been so hard for Samsung to launch the Note with ICS in February? Does the Nexus have some kind of phone ICS exclusivity until March as some Samsung rep suggested to me at the Note launch..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
The quad core battery efficiency is God-like, actually. All quad cores are going to have an "idle core" like Tegra 3 has to rely on when sleeping/under light load. My experience with transformer prime is that quad cores give sick performance and WONDERFUL battery life. I imagine this is why all of these new superphones announced at MWC today that are using he new Krait S4's (dual core but 28nm process makes it very efficient) and Tegra 3 processors have 1800 maH batteries or less. We'll see but I expect battery life to be sick on these phones, based on my experience with Tegra 3 thus far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshnichols189:
Everyone knows iBGR is not a reliable source..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SMARTPHONEPC:
I'm glad someone with TF201 experience spoke up, I still want to see a TF700 series with its 1080p display+improved GPS-wireless.

In all the coverage at MWC of quad core phones with these smallish batteries, I'm still surprised there aren't more inquiries into battery life specs..especially with LTE.

BTW, why didn't AT&T include a LTE off switch for the I717?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
They never did for any phone, not even a 3G off switch for 3G phones. Easier to push you into the data overage and charge you more $$$.

BTW, current Tegra 3 phones are not compatible with LTE radio. So, if and when GS3 comes to AT&T, it may not be Tegra 3. It has already been confirmed that HTC's new One X for AT&T will be Snapdragon S4 dual-core instead of Tegra 3.

However, according to the reports, Tegra 3 compatible LTE radio chip will be available 2 months down the road. So, that could be why GS3 is delayed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scythe024:
Hope AT&T doesn't do what they did with the HTC One X and turn that quad core into a dual core snap dragon for the LTE radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SMARTPHONEPC:
No LTE switch hacks?:D

"1.5GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos processor" unlike current Tegra 3 is supposed to be LTE compatible.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
It's the other way around. Currently most LTE smartphones use Qualcomm radio chip which supports HSPA+ and LTE. But current chip requires Qualcomm CPU. There is a new chip from Qualcomm out soon that supports CMDA, HSPA+ and LTE and will drop the Qualcomm CPU requirement. That will be the chip used in iPhone5.

So, unless Samsung packs its own LTE radio chip AND AT&T is willing to accept Samsung's LTE radio, it's not going to work.

I have found FPSE is the smoothest PS1 emulator. Like others have said, ROMs are easy to find. Just google "PS1 ROMs."
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Wow this site is all kinds of awesome. Thanks!

Now I have fpse (obviously), the psx bios, Pocket ISO and the MGS rom.

Do I need anything else or am I good to go?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I dont know what Pocket ISO is. but if you have the app, the BIOS, and the ROM, you should be good to go. Just point the app to the BIOS file and start the game.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Its on FPSeCe's website...the app wont let me do anything until I load one, so I downloaded it to my ext sd card and now I cant find it.

After looking through the directions provided in the app, this looks much more complicated than it needs to be..any tips? I just wanna play this game.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Have you used emulators before? What file type did the game come in? Was it a zip file? If so, I believe you need to extract it. You should get an .img file or .bin file. Maybe a .cue file.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Ive only used emulators on computers. This is my first time using an emulator like this. Ill try extracting the files. Before I would just take the .zip file and place it on my sd card.

Is ISO just a fancy name for .img files and the like?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Ps1 emulators use a lot of different file types. If you look up the info on the app it should say what type it reads. I know it will run .bin files and I'm pretty sure .img files. Not sure about .iso. probably will tho. If you get a file running on your PC though, it should run on this app
[Motorola Droid X2] motrinHD:
same site I use. it's super easy just extract from the zip and place the game file in the desired location. all this can be done with out even touching a computer
[Motorola Droid X2] Specter597:
PocketISO that they want you to download is for modifying your own ISO's from discs you have. (Making them smaller, etc.)

You don't need to mess with it.

It doesn't matter where the BIOS is as long as you can find it.

Games need to be unzipped and should be in one of these formats: .bin, .iso, .img

If you attempt to simply change the extension in Windows you'll break the file.

I recommend emuparadise.com

Most of the files they have are already in .bin format. Just unzip, copy to your SD card and JOY.
[Motorola Droid X2] The-Hulk:
I will be closing this thread, and here is the reason -

While talking about emulatots is fine, talking about copyrighted software such as roms and the bios is not, now i will leave it at that, as no links have been posted, but for future reference please dont talk about or post links to copyrighted software, as this will only get you in trouble.

Havent heard much on the ultra...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I currently use the Sandisk 32gb cl 4. Works well.

But before this I had a 16gb class 10 Patriot which was a tad bit faster on the load, but I need the space more than the speed at this point lol.
[HTC Sensation] totalundone:
That Sandisk Class 10 you have listed in your links is a Class 6.

The Samsung one is the best of the lot. Class 10 continuous speed and benchmarks similar to the Sandisk Class 4 for Random R/W. I just received my 32 GB Samsung a few days ago.

edit: I couldn't find much info on that Sandisk 32GB Mobile Ultra (class 6). With the right hardware, the read can go up to ~30 MB/s but write is ~8 MB/s. I couldn't find any benchmarks on random r/w. If I had to guess, I would say that based on Sandisk's reputation - it should have good random r/w.

I benched my Samsung with SD Tools in my Sensation (~25% full, so not optimal).

Write: 9.4 MB/s, Read: 25.9 MB/s

I agree with k0zmic. All are good cards and you can't go wrong with any of those.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
All are good cards IMO, can't go wrong with any.

Comes down to price and whether you transfer big files back and forth enough to warrant Class 10 speeds for £10 more.
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
Im thinking lexar or samsung

Is the samsung worth the extra cash?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Yeah I think I did read somewhere (might have been on the back of the Ultra packaging) that it has better random r/w speeds.

Can you do a speed test with the Samsung with file sizes of 1MB and below? I'd like to see how it stacks up. I think it's comparable to a Class 4 card of the same size from what I've seen in other threads so it's a solid card.

I'd go with the Samsung, from what I have read the Lexar doesn't have very good speeds with small random file sizes.
