[Touch HD General] Magic Tmac1:
Hi, I have some questions about Htc t8282 Blakstone... I searched a long on google but I found no specific answer, so i guess you can do that...

1) I sync my contacts photos with Facebook application (it sync also birthday) and the problem is that the photo can't be view correctly. I'd like to have normal photos, I think there's a specific layout that put this effect on all over the contacts photo... So I ask you if is it possible to delete this "frustrating" effect (that's a screenshot of what I mean: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/1484/20120321024925.jpg)

Solved by asking a solution in Energy rom thread.

2) When I press home button or when I close applications my Home Clock refresh everytime from 1 hour before the real time, and that's very annoying! How can I solve this problem?

Solved by change settings about the clock animations in CHT.

3) Is there a tweak or an application or tips to improve the battery life?

4) In your opinion, it's better Msm7kcpuspeed, Setcpuspeed or Htc Performance to improve the speed of this device?

5) Always in your opinion, is Gfxboost1.2service efficient?

6) For this pocket pc, which browser (and which version of that) is the best?

7) For this pocket pc, it's better (in performance I mean) Windows mobile or Android? And which versions of this one?

8) Is there a compatible app for Live Scoring (for example football games) and a valid app to translate?

Thank you very very much, Xda always is the greatest forum!!!
[Touch HD General] manciuszz:
Hope that helps you.Good luck.
[Touch HD General] Magic Tmac1:
Thank you... I tried Magic Tweaks and now the battery seems to be better... Does anyone know about others questions? Thanks again!
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
You are using Energy ROM? Dinik or Touch of Glass version?

If so, it's by design, and you have to change ROM... like I did. ;)

Or PM NRGZ28 and ask which graphic file is overlaying contact picture. Or what to do about it.

If it's not Energy ROM, it could also be by design... not sure it could be changed.

In any case, more info about ROM is needed...
[Touch HD General] Magic Tmac1:
Yes sorry, I forgot to told you which rom I have... It's Energy like you said! So I'll pm nrgz28 soon... Thank you! Can you answer at the other questions, too? Please :)
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
It would be wise if you ask your questions in adequate ROM thread: B [WWE|GER|FRA|ITA|NLD] |July 4| Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯6.5|21916/ 6.5.X|29022 * Sense 2021

Also, don't forget to state which version of Energy ROM you're using... More details about ROM will bring you more correct answers...
[Touch HD General] Magic Tmac1:
Ok, I have asked in this thread... What about other questions? Can you answer them, too? Thank you :)

You missed out on SyncBlaze. Guess its similar to the ones you listed but targets small and medium businesses as it focuses more on business needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Feras.Rehman:
Box and dropbox r d best.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] marksmithbvs:
SugarSync and Dropbox are the best among all (Opinion based on my personal experience). Comodo looks great and i think i should give a try on it as well.With the storage services, it becomes so easier to move your data here and there and to make absolute backups of all your important data and files. I have reviewed all the vendors from a list of best cloud storage and after evaluating the rankings i stand for a better and fair review with regards to sugarsync review and rest of the storage providers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] krankdroid:
I was hoping someone could share their experiences with the covers/cases they use for their note. I have looked at some, and i am thinking of either getting the 'standard' flip cover or a starcase leather i found. I am thinking that the back the note is a bit slippery compared to silikone or rugged leather. Has any tried combining the flip cover with some other case/cover?

What is your thoughts on that?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartehjerte:
Hi to all!

Well, yesterday i was using xGin 6.2, but trying something, my phone got stuck at boot, and i was not able no enter xRecovery or CWM recovery. So, i restored my phone with PC Companion, and i'm now in stock rom.

But, when i was on xGin, i've made a backup of that rom. What happens if i go to my CWM recovery that i've installed on stock rom, and i restore the xGin backup? can i do that? is that possible?

waiting for a response :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Yeah, sure! That's what backups are for!

Sent from my X8 with XDA app.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saipro:
But now that you've found the path to PC Companion (enlightenment!), wouldn't it have been more fun to try restoring the backup then ask for help should things not go as planned? It helps the learning curve.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Exactly! I dont know about the rom you mentioned, so if it is based on custom kernel i think you should flash the kernel first or else you will brick your phone again...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svartehjerte:
have you read well? i was not able to enter recovery.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saipro:
I did read well (though you rhetorical question smarts of sarcasm - I'm merely trying to help).

Quite a number of kernels have recovery built into them. It's as simple as:

- flashing a kernel with recovery

- restoring your backup

- flashing the kernel compatible with your ROM (if the current one isn't)

- booting your ROM!

Unless your ROM is one of those that give hell when trying to restore from backups (I've encountered a few of such; won't say no names)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] japester:
Hi all,

I'm just about to RMA my dock. The top and bottom halves are starting to separate and the hinge is getting looser and looser.

I've already emailed tech support and they have suggested user error - IE I'm forcing the tablet into the dock too hard! I will assure them that this is NOT the case!

I'll see what the tech guys say when I RMA it but I have to admit i'm more than a little disappointed.

Has anyone else on here noticed anything similar?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
i have not seen this on mine, BUT i can see how this would happen. it honestly does not seem to have anything to do with pushing it in to hard. but more so with pushing it in when it is not aligned corretly.

it will slowely pull the hinged area apart over time, me and my mother both have the prime and dock. and she is not heavy handed at all but hers started to do the same thing yours is doing. after having her show me how she instered it into the dock. i noticed that she was not looking at the angle of the hinged area and just pushing softly until she would find the right angle for it to slide in. and as she was pushing softly the hinged area would move and seperate from just wiggling the prime till it fit in.

not saying that you doing this, but that seemed to be the cause of her dock starting to do what yours is doing. so i had to show her a better way of visually aligning the prime and dock so it would just slide in.

thats my OP anyway. hope that it gets fixed bruh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yatyas:
I have notice that mine pops apart if I pick it up by the front right corner. I do not mean that I am grabbing the very edge of the corner, I am merely picking it up as I would a netbook or other similar device. When I do this the dock pops apart at the USB port and along the back behind the hinge. You can tell the dock bends when it happens. It seems to be that the dock can not hold up to the weight of the tablet. I have only had this happen twice as I now make sure to pick it up with both hands. There is no damage since it just pops back together but one has to wonder how they can charge $150 for something that is so cheaply made. I will not be sending it back but I am still a little disappointed. Functionality is still great and I am still happy with the product, just wish I didn't have to be careful of how I pick it up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
While it probably could have been assembled better, I can only imagine RMA is going to consider this Customer Induced Damage and want to charge you more than the dock is worth by the time all is said and done. Good luck though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] japester:
I suspect that this is the case - the tablet and dock have always been correctly aligned and no excessive force has been applied to the dock mechanism.

I've cancelled the RMA as ASUS wont tell me what the charges might be for sending the dock in. however its being UPS'd from the UK to Czech Republic so i cant imagine it would be cheap.

I've put up with all the issues so far, but this is the last straw for me. Tablet is great but build quality sucks big time. No more ASUS products for me :(

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] felipevsw:
What I learned with time and since then I ALWAYS do: BEFORE every flash of new custom rom you do, FIRST flash the official Samsung stock rom from YOUR locale.

I do it EVERY SINGLE TIME I flash a new custom rom or an updated (from version, not update (i.e. RC5.6 to RC5.7)

And FYI: the version 7.2.0-RC5.7 was just released by squadzone, check it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] freakyfriday:
Squadzones builds are a bit buggy but full of features..but mebeitek gives more preference to performance over style..so its just a matter of choice..

Its not all necessary to flash stock before a custom..once u flashed stock nd cwm recovery, u can change roms as many tyms as u want :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] royalasif:
ARC

i think its because of stock rom base Band version.. try XXKPI or KPK:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
Since custom Roms don't touch the baseband it REALLY doesn't matter.

If you need a new baseband, just flash a new baseband, you can do that at any time and it won't touch anything but the baseband, it will leave everything else as it is.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Not really, you can use any baseband as they are intercompatible, just use the one that works best for you. (that would be the latest for your region)
[Motorola Atrix 2] iamonlyafigment:
ok so I had been running the supercharged v5 update 2 for a while and never had any issues. I tried to install the v2 Blaze rom which softbricked my device. So I followed the instructions in the noob guide to use RSD and go back to 2.3.5 and re-update to 2.3.6. But whenever I try to install a custom rom (say the new Blaze v2) I go into CWM go to backup and restore, restore the correct backup file and when the phone reboots it just sits at the Motorola Red Circle screen and does nothing. I tried reinstalling the Supercharged v5 and get the force close issues, and trying to go back to just the stock 2.3.6 deodexed gives me an MD5 checksum error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shansmi:
[Q] Does flashing the CWM Beta via ODIN trip the ROM counter?

I am asking because the CWM Dev does not actually have a device. If the answer is yes then why? I am asking because on the 2.3.6 compiles on the SR it does not trip the counter (when running UCLA3).

And yes I read the CWM thread and after about 20 pages, I stopped. From the posts I read, I did not see anyone indicate the status of their counter...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:
I believe it trips any flash but don't quote me on it

Sent from the only smartphone designed by Chuck Norris
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
It does. Using ODIN to flash anything from the SYSTEM or below will trip it.

I don't understand why people put so much emphasis on the counter, to be honest. There's never been an actual denial of warranty (that we know of) from it. Even then, Samsung themselves would have to look for it, AT&T sure doesn't care.

Also, 95% of the time, someone finds a way to reset the counters anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shansmi:
I did more reading and found posts from mashi and da_g. They indicate the counter will trip when flashing the kernel and CWM via ODIN. At least it is this way on the Note. I know on the GS II SR, you could flash CWM via ODIN and not trip the counter. Anyway I am now rooted with no counter trip thanks to mashi.
