That´s great news for me, thanks a lot!

The portable HD I tried it´s at least a couple of years old, so that may be the issue. Could you please post a link or at least the exact model you purchased? (I wouldn´t like to purchase the wrong model...).

I just noticed, though, that your signature says "Motorola Xoom", not Xoom 2, I wonder if the all device may be possible to power it up while the new one may not??

I realize the Xoom 2 is not a very popular device, but I´m still quite worried about such a positive feature being consistently ignored, if someone did actually got it to work... :confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
two possibilities:

a) buy a hdd that draws less power upon spinup

b) try to make your own "external" power source from maybe one or two 18650 Li-Ion batteries and a dc/dc-converter. Make that provide power to your hdd and only connect the data-leads to your xoom. Might work, but ask someone who really knows about this stuff before frying your hd/xoom/car/etc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andario:
I have no idea how to do this, and I don´t know anyone who has done it. The possibility of "frying" my brand new device doesn´t sound too enticing, either. On top of that, the idea of lugging around even more cables/devices to power the Xoom up makes the whole idea of the tablet less than ideal, for my needs. I rather purchase that one "good" HD, if such a thing exists...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andario:
IT WORKED!

I´m going to be writing a new post about it, so people can find it more easily.

I just saw a review of the Xperia S saying the screen is amazing but pictures have an awfull color banding!

Is that true?

If yes can you try ''wallpaper set and save'' app? It's the only app to set wallpapers without banding due to software
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yardglass:
I think it's utter nonsense. Nobody else has mentioned it in their reviews (just the contrary actually) and I've never seen it myself on any of the videos.

I've seen a video where they compare the screen of the Xperia S and (I think) the Galaxy Nexus, and it showed all the different colour gradients, and the Xperia S was miles better. I can't find it now that I'm looking for it though!

Thanks for sharing, it was good and I liked the shots very much. Nice videos.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vegetaleb:
I had color banding on both Nexus 1 and sgs2, obviously with wallpapers having blue sky.

It was a software bug because as I said with ''wallpaper set and save'' the banding disapeared on N1, on sgs2 it was a custom rom that solved it.

The key problem is that some versions of stock ''Gallery'' are coming with 65k colors instead of 16M. Dunno why they are still doing this mistake...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dk_iceman:
I just got the Xperia S and no pictures of mine has color banding or other issues like my OLD nexus
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Billy44:
I recently replaced my Xperia S due to yellow tint issue. This new one has no yellow tint but has colour banding issue on some things like on the front page of the XDA app. Will post pics if peple wanna see it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
Mine is being repaired at the moment for the yellow tint issue as well. I have a loaner HTC wildfire s for the moment. The xda app splash screen just is banded. It's exactly the same on this phone.

Some other apps seem to have a little color banding, but imho it's usually just because they are optimized for lower resolution devices. The situation will propably change a bit since more devices with hd screens are being released.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BleeDK:
I checked out the XDA app's slash screen, and holy smokes that is some serious banding. But that's not the fault of the phone, as I presume the image is actually banded like RiotRick says.

Places I found banding is for example on the News and Weather app on the tabs, the gradients of gray are clearly visible. On my old HTC Hero it is not noticeable in the 65k colours.

But I'm skeptical to push the fault on the screen though - I'd say it's far more likely that the app itself using images that weren't rendered for 16M colours and the xhdpi. I can safely say that it DOES NOT colour band the static timescape wallpapers (it is silky smooth), so just by that I do not think the screen or software is at fault.

Alien987, if you really are on the fence due to screen deal breakers, I would be more concerned of the colour renditions of the LCD screen at off-center viewing angles. Personally, it doesn't bother me as I'd be looking at it from the center when I use it, but my cousin pointed it out when she was trying to watch the game I was playing when she was sitting beside me (she uses an iphone 4, so I guess she is acute to how nice screens look? =S) (oops sorry I went sorta off-topic)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
To be clear the screen on the Xperia S exhibits no colour banding with images 16bit and over just like most other screen types, the reviewer clearly doesn't know what they are talking about and goes into zero depth to try and justify the claim.

Colour banding only happens when the on screen image is of a lower gradient then say 16bit, most images in applications deliberately have a lower gradient (8bit) for lower memory usage in their apps so u will see this banding since a lower colour pallet is used.

Mobile screens these days even pentile, don't have an issue with colour banding as they are of a high quality.

Check a 24bit image on the screen and you will see zero colour banding in all colours.

Hello guys!

I just installed the artic ver 3.05 and I got a nice bug here...

Yesterday I have installed it first time got some app errors and decided to restore my nandroid backup. The problem is because I have got a md5 missmatch. So, I done some search and saw that had a work around for this. Something like:

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Nice, but once I tried to restore, I got the same freaking missmatch msg again.

Now I had to restore my Artic again, cause I just wipe data/cache and so.

After I installed the Artic, something is "broken" and I cant get my wifi working, neither I cant enter in my SETTINGS options, cause I dont even have the icont here.

Now I believe I dont have the cwm installed anymore, dont have wifi and cant configure...

What can I do????

Ah, my phone is a Motorola Droid Razr XT910

Thanks alot!

EDIT:

Ok... plugged cell in usb... copied the CWM to ext sd card, but when I try to install I get the motorolla error. So cannot see my settings "app", cant install cwm cause it says its not an market app and I cannot change this setting.

EDIT2:

When to reset factory mode, power button to turn it off, press vol up + down. Choose recovery, wipe data/cahe and for my pleasant surprise, just got the same artic thing from the start. Same errors again. No settings, cant install anything.

Is possible to restore a rom from usb? I mean, at least the phone still working connected to a PC.

Oh my...

Viber

Hi,

This is a member of the Viber Development Team! :)

@Theplayernew -Using Viber on a customized ROM, may result in side effects. At this stage, due to the large variety of customized ROMs available, we support only the basic ones, such as CM7 and MIUI.

You can try to uninstall and reinstall Viber , or to find the proper customization which works best with Viber. Of course, returning your device back to it's original settings is the best option for compatibility.

Thank you,

Viber Team.

I remember Viber it was working good on version beta 1.0 on my hd2.

Now its not working anymore...i will try earlier version if they're still working now
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
As allready some ppl stated on this forum, viber version 2.1.2 worked well in situation when cm7 based rom in combination drizztj v5.0 lib sound. But atm there isnt chance to use your, in my eyes great product Viber, its more hit or miss, mostly miss with newer version. I know Hd2 isnt android based product thats one of reason why we cant have proper support from your company but would be nice atleast for Hd2 Devs to know what was so drasticly changed that newer version wont work. More bigger problem is in lack of devs motivation to focus on this issues also, i respect their hardwork on bringing android world to hd2 phone but i cant agree as many state on there custom roms topics that everything works fine while there is open issue with Voip apps on phone.

P.s. Hd2 miui roms also have problem with voip apps like Viber
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clio94:
Viber 2.1.2 work ok but this version dont work in ics.The "strange" thing with newer version 2.1.6 is that it crashes only if you accept and answer in a call.If you are the caller it doenst crash

btw i know that hd2 is not a native android device but skype work ok without crash.

that`s the problem.in hd2 original state is windows mobile but not android

In cm7/aosp/ics/miui we use the same kernel

In gingerbread with version 2.1.2 and a "special" libaudio.so file with voip fix we dont have problem.This is the fix http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15657585&postcount=13509 that is included in libaudio.so for gingerbread and made 2.1.2 version compatible with hd2 but version 2.1.6 work only for outgoing calls.In ics we dont have libaudio.so file but skype work ok

If viber team have the time to find what special "magic" skype have or what changed from 2.1.2 to 2.1.6 version many people with hd2 would be thankfull to you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Viber Team:
We hope to be able to devote the time and resources for this in the future, but unfortunately at this stage we can't really guarantee anything :(

The "drastic" changes you are referring to may be rooted in the fact that we have improved our voice engine. We are continuously working to improve Viber's sound quality, by improving or even switching voice engines. Most probably, there is lack of compatibility between the new version of our voice engine and the API of the microphone on HD2, running an Android Custom ROM.

If we have any news regarding this issue, we'll certainly let you know. We apologize for the inconvenience :(

You might want to stay in touch with the ROMs developers - they might be able to help you out in this regard.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nphaibk:
Temporary solution

After a few days of searching & testing, I found a solution that may fit our needs while waiting for devs or viber team:

Materials:

- ROM MIUI stock, here

- libaudio.so, v5 in "No sound with BT", here, v2 not work, v3 not tested

- Viber 2.1.2.116554, here

How to: - I use cLK 1.5 & CWM 5.0

- Flash ROM (check the ROM thread, system 160M, I think)

- Flash the zip of libaudio.so

- Boot and install Viber, do NOT update (tested, not work)

What works:

- Viber sms (as usual)

- Viber call (phone and bluetooth tested), but check "What still buggy" below

- Gsm sms and call

What still buggy:

- On viber call, every ~40 seconds, we can hear but the other party cannot ==> Put "Hold" for a second and release will resolve the problem

- put "Speaker" on will hang the phone ==> reboot the phone

Let me know if you guys find something (think of replacing HD2 :()

---------------edit 1-------------------

I installed the ROM again (wiped sys/cache/) but the problem came back!!! hang and no sound

sorry guys, it seems there is not yet a solution
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JamieAmmar:
I had the same issue with my viber in HD2 as well, at Hyperdroid when suddenly I found an update at the Market. Then it was foxed after another update shortly..I clearly didn't get what was the issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nphaibk:
Did you mean you get through the problem? "Then it was FIXED..." I supposed?

I did test Hyperdroid with Viber, either latest version or 2.1.2, but no luck.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Latest Viber 2.1.6 works perfectly on this ROM

no hang, no interrupt so far for long call, after gsm call...

I will update with further test here

---------------edit 1--------------

the test i performed previously was with the same wife network for 2 phones, if phones connect to 2 different networks, problem seems to persist

-------- edit 2: solution ---------

Viber 2.1.2 works perfectly on Hyperdroid 5.9 with MagLdr (fikred kernel r2.16)

Tested for a week with call/sms, before/after gsm call, long/short calls.... --> no hang, good sound

Note:

- you must use MagLdr (test >10 ROMs including Hyperdroid with cLK but no luck)

- do a (very) clean install (task 29 prefer, erase android,viber... folders on SD card, format prefer)

- use Viber 2.1.2 (updated version sometimes hang)

------- edit 3: solution for cLK

- cLK 1.6.5 DP (search somewhere)

- used with Viber 2.1.2 in Hyperdroid v5.9 or v6, works OK (the rom itself sometimes hangs, probably due to cLK)

-------- edit 4 & 5: ICS

- cLK 1.6.5

- latest viber NOT works on ICS tosti (latest version 27/04/2012)

-------- edit 6: ICS

flash this package (the one for ICS) and you can call with Viber without problems (tested on AOPK 40 by Xylograph and NexusHD2 v2.4 by Tytung).

However, if you accept a viber call from other, your phone will hang until reboot (as known issue )

Hi,

As we explained before, please note that Viber does not officially support your device yet, and that may be the reason for the problems you are experiencing. Here is the full list of officially supported devices: http://bit.ly/Hm5k9p

We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more devices, and we hope to attend to the problems with your device soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If it's a ROM issue (meaning - it works just fine on Stock on that same device), then you might want to contact the ROM developer and see if they can help you through the problem.

Hi Viber Team,

I always understand your position about not supporting non official ROM. My info was just only there to let you know that there must be something that has been changed in different VIBER version that led to theses findings. That's all. If Viber care to try to find out what happened/chnaged, it would help more than HD2 owners.

Surely this is correct. However, even examining (or giving a general idea) to what it was that changed and could have caused the problems in the new version is something that may require deep research on the app and the specific ROMs that are problematic.
