Since the original Gapps mail client sucked big time in many i9000 ROMs i started to look out for a really good free option.

I found K9 mail!

It is as fast as my pc clint thunderbird wiping the floor with email.apk the whole day :D

Really great email client with loads of features which i mostly don´t need.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
I know this has been mentioned many times and we all know how low quality the mic on the a100 is, but has anybody came to a final fix ASIDE from using a headset, through some of my playing around I noticed that the mic hole is actually lined up wrong, the plastic sides of the a100 can be removed, and when I saw where the hole is, it was positioned over a piece of plastic right beside the mic, and the mic itself is blocked.

So out of desperation a drilled a small hole right over the mic, that did seem to make the volume higher, but the quality...oh so worse (I had to fill that hole again with superglue, and it looks horrible), if anybody would like to see, just take the small piece of plastic off the side (it snaps in/out) and see for yourself how the mic hole doesn't even line up.

Now the second interesting thing is that I saw a chat session with a technical support guy at Acer about the mic on this tab, and he actually confirmed that the mic shipped with it is in fact a cheap low quality mic, so I was thinking, would anybody be able to somehow solder it out and swap it with a much higher quality one? Say from a headset or something, I don't have any mics of the same size as the a100 but if anybody has one can you maybe try and look into it, I sure will try as soon as I get good enough with soldering and find a headset, I mean we really don't have anything to lose other than a cheap mic that doesn't really work :p.

Much appreciated, thanks :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
Went for the kill, opened it up and soldered a new mic I got from a pretty expensive Logitech webcam....results are, mic is so much better now, at least people can hear me through Skype now :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
I'm tethering a connection with my Xperia X10 using 'Wifi Tether for root users' app. I'm sure it work's fine cause I'm able to connect to this network via laptop or another android phone. What I'm not able to do is connect to this network from my Transformer. I click on the network and it just changes the state to Remembered but it won't connect to it no matter how many times I cick the thing.

Have any of you managed to solve this already?

I'm running an official ICS, no root or stuff. Completly clean.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
What type of hotspot is it putting out? Ad hoc?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
I think so
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MikeGyver:
I don't know if it can help, but the issue you describe is exactly the one I had when I used my HTC Sensation (with any ICS custom ROM) as a Wifi AP : I could browse the web from any peripheral connected to the "HTC Portable Hotspot"... except from my TF101 !

I thought the problem came from the TF101 itself (and I'm still thinking it...), but curiously I solved it by flashing my HTC Sensation back to stock ROM (Android 2.3.4) !

Now my TF101 can browse the web through my Sensation like any other device...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
I'm still thinking it's Transformer. I was flashing several softs before I started posting. It was always only the bloody transformer that couldn't connect... funny thing is that exactly week ago on the exactly same ICS I've managed to connect. Then it started to fail.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I thin your router needs to support Infrastructure and not adhoc networks to work wth the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
Dude - it's a phone, not a router. It supports ad-hoc only. And as I said - it worked ocassionally. Myabe it's a reason to call a guarantee services?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FabMaurice:
if your TF is already rooted, then try the free app wifiadhocenabler from the market. i used this for my galaxy s2 because samsung disabled adhoc connections.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Radiofodder:
I'm just a user, but I had the same problem when I was running Gingerbread on my HTC Legend. Now, there aren't really any proper drivers for that on Gingerbread, so it was done ad-hoc. When I updated to ICS on the TF101 it lost the ability to connect to ad-hoc hotspots. Installing a ROM that uses Froyo fixed it.

I think Prime users faced the same issue, but managed to enable ad-hoc support. Root on the tablet was of course needed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
This is really weird. One day it's connecting and week later it's not. And I haven't been changing ROM since then (neither on the phone or transformer)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nishmaster2k:
Ad-hoc wireless support was supposed to be fixed in the latest .17 ICS update; however, I am still unable to use my TF101 to connect to an ad-hoc network.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arguntom:
Hi, I have had my HTC Evo 4G for almost a year now and I have yet to encounter this problem until now. I live in a 4G hotspot and have always enjoyed the incredibly fast 4G data speeds up until recently. Within the last week or so my 4G speeds have dumbed down to a fraction of that of it's original speed. My phone usually has all 4 bars of 4G filled and it still does but my download speeds are between 20kb-50kb /sec, and high quality video streaming is surprisingly slower than normal. My 4G speeds used to blow my 3G out the water but recently my 3G connection has been able to download faster and stream HQ video faster. I am using Cyanogenmod 7.2 I updated from the original 7.0.3 just a few hours ago hoping this would solve my problem, it didn't. I have tried restarting my phone, updating my PRL, and switching roms but no luck. The problem persists on HTC sense, Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, and on Cyanogenmod 7.2. So it can't be the rom, plus I've had Cyanogenmod for quit some time before this started happening. Any help is greatly appreciated if you need any more details please ask.

Edit: Oh yea I haven't gone over any data limits because I have unlimited, but to be sure I checked in with sprint and the confirmed that I am truely unlimited.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arguntom:
Well after finnaly being able to get out of the house I have been able yo ascertain that this problem is not a phone issue but a sprint issue.

helo guys,

i've a question about the succesfully login into youtube. i've flashed a few days ago the Omega v5.2 Black Blue and i'm really happy with this rom. so, i think it's just a good moment to say thanks to the developers and involved people.

well, my problem is to get access into my youtube account. i always receive a failing message, that my email isn't linked with a youtube account. this isn't true. the account is linked to 100% with my hotmail acc, and this one with gmail, too.

so, i don't understand what i can do, to log in succesfully to my acc.

i hope i'll receive help, cause i don't will be able to resolve this problem alone :confused:

thx's

Had the same problem, there was a update to the youtube app just a few days ago which fixed this problem. Check to make sure you have the up to date version and it should work.

well, thanks for your help this was the "half" solution.^^

with v3.5.5 downloaded from play store, finally it works with the succesfully login and linked account.

my phone works actually with omega v5.2, and there in the omega files kitchen is a moded youtube apk, which got a download option. this one doesn't works. its v2.1.6.

but, well, i'll use both for the moment, until the bug is fixed.

Hey everyone,

It seems as though every time I exit the browser while a page is loaded and I open a few other apps, the browser always reloads. I was wondering if there was an app that keeps the page saved even after you open several other apps in the background. I've seen this type of things in various apps such as GTA 3 (It's always running in memory so you can always go back to the exact same state as you were 10 minutes ago) and N64oid (same thing - you can always go back to the same state as you were even after opening numerous apps)

Thanks,

just my two cents.
[HTC Sensation] Euroman28:
After upgrading my HTC Sensation with the Official ICS update, Quadrant Standard gives the now ICS HTC Sensation phone a higher score than Galaxy Nexus.

Can this really be true? And why is the score higher?

HTC Sensation has a dualcore CPU why does Quadrant Standard(The latest version) still claim the phone is only single core?
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
Quadrant shouldn't be used as a definitive way to compare devices to one-another. There are many factors that can change a device's score; it isn't the best way to gauge a device's capabilities.

On the other hand, there are ICS kernels for sensation that will push your CPU clock speed to 1.51 and beyond, so compared to a stock Galaxy Nexus, I could believe a modified and overclocked Sensation could beat it out.
[HTC Sensation] mckellick:
This is true. With the Sensation being pushed to its limits and kernels maxing out the dual cores i def would have to say the Sensation is the Lamborghini versus the nexus as the corvette.
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I have inspected Quadrant's device information. I see that it says there is 1 available CPU core in the device and 2 available CPU cores for Java. Not sure why.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Seeing as you're overclocked it's no wonder you're quicker than the Nexus...Nexus is 1.2GHz stock, you're 1.6GHz

Both stock, the Sensation gets pretty much identical scores as the Nexus
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I was pointing that out earlier. Overclocked, there's no comparison. I'm actually at 1.7, the CPU didn't have enough demand at the time so it dropped a bit to 1.6
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
ok, forget benchmarks.....I tried a nexus....is sooo laggy, slow...not even smooth...

my sensation with 1.5 kernel is very much better...I think better than galaxy note, too, that now is the best (they think XD because they never tried a sensation)...
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
It is truly a Sensational device! Bad pun, sorry. I think the only thing the Note has over us is the higher resolution display and pen input...maybe the camera is of better quality. Honestly though, 960x540 is good enough for me. I picked the Sensation out of 20 other Android devices because it had more of what I wanted. I even picked it over the HTC Amaze.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
My Nexus is not laggy at all, and it's even better once running a custom kernel. It's the lack of official updates that are making me consider selling it to get a One X
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Interesting that people are willing to change from a Nexus device that should be getting updates first to non Nexus devices.

Is your Nexus's updates controlled by Google or operator?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Google as it's a pure Nexus phone. We're still on 4.0.2 at the mo with no sign of anything new
[HTC Sensation] xHighAlert:
That's pretty dumb.

Especially given this:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
But that's overclocked, so of course it'll be fast
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Thought so, I never really looked into it but kinda assumed that it was just the Verizon Nexus that might get slower updates.

Wrong forum but I'll tell ya anyway. For future reference, something like this should be in the Q&A forum.

Download touch recovery.

Put recovery.img in a PD98IMG.zip.

Make sure PD98IMG.zip is in root of sdcard.

Power off phone.

Hold volume down + power to boot into bootloader.

Allow bootloader to find image.

Volume up to install.

Reboot.

Or you can use ADB to flash recovery but someone else will have to tell ya how...or..

Umm...

Google it. ;)

Yeah, I tried it just to see how it was (even buy it but for support of the dev), but 4ext is much better and that's why most of the guys round here doesn't even know that the CWM touch exists...As you say, since I have 4ext (wich came with CoreDroid) I not looking back...:)

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

You won't be able to flash the PD98IMG.zip with just the .img file in it. Look for the .txt file inside the Hack Kit (tools folder and recovery) and use it to make you own zip file. Then you will be able to flash it...:)

But, listen to Doo Doo, 4ext is way much better. I have actually tried both...but currently using the later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Yeah I forgot about the .txt file...I'm so used to using the PD98IMG that I have...it already has all that in it.

You can get it installed with no additional effort by trying Android Revolution HD from here:

It will install 4EXT recovery automatically.

It has way more features than CWM, you're using the touchscreen, you can format all phone partitions to EXT4 (keeping the sdcard the way it is) then you can install any ROM you want (ICS, Cyanogen) and keep all the goodies.

I'm glad I did!

^^^ Thanks for the clarification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Since the only thing I need louder volume on is my ring tones or notifications, I simple boost the volume with an editor to the point where it begins distorting, then back it off slightly. So far I have had no issue getting my ringtones and notifications loud enough. Nothing like hearing Perry The Platypus as the notification and everyone at work asks "WTF was that!?", yet my almost 3year old twins yell "PERRY!" from across the house.

If you listen to music alot or use it the speakerphone around alot of noice, I suppose this could be an issue, but I don't so I havnt felt the need to make it louder yet.

would backup your current stock rom, so you can restore it like it was including all apps (select the propper tags in twrp - tap all if you'r not shure)
