Ha sorry still getting used to typing on this. I have the ics leak, and any ea games get stuck loading when they are first open.

I got NBA JAMS and it will not load. Any help out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I am one of the lucky ones who did not get all the reported glitches that came with the ICS leak. I am downloading EA Hot Pursuit as I type this and report back if it works or not. So far, this Odin installable leak has been flawless for me. Lets hope my EA games are the same.

UPDATE: Downloaded EA Hot Pursuit and all is fine. Game launches and plays normally. No problems here at all.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guydudebro:
Hello,

I've been a long time lurker and I finally flashed my first HTC Desire Z rom a few days ago.

The problem I've been having is that the user agent setting in all of my browsers don't work like they used to when I was still running stock Gingerbread (I'm running the latest G-Lite now).

I used to be able to get to any desktop site using Dolphin HD, and now I can't. But, Opera is still able to access the desktop version of ESPN.com. I know espn is one of those super picky sites regarding the user agent/mobile browser thing, but I used to be able to access the full site no problem. I've tried nearly every browser on the market (xScope, Skyfire, Boat Browser, Miren, stock browser about:debug thing, Firefox) and nothing works except Opera. I've played around with numerous user agent strings with no luck. What the hell is up with that?

Is it because of the super lightweight rom I chose? I know it's a minor problem, but I'd really love some help here. And, I really don't like Opera's bloatedness and Flash performance. Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guydudebro:
Tried Maxthon. It's very nice and quick but it has the same problem as the others. What makes Opera so special over every other browser? I dunno, thanks anyway.

I noticed there was cyanogenmod 7.1 alpha, so what happened with the development?

I saw today the cm9 files were posted, so were there dedicated dev's from cm that worked on pyramid? I followed cm development in the last device I had and one the dev's that did the work.

Ok so I replaced the LCD after watching a few videos no issues everything came off and went back on like it was supposed to but now the phone will not turn on and the battery is fully charged i get a quick blink of the light when I plug the phone in and thats it?

if u are doing it right it will work. I've changed my droid x LCD watching those youtube videos
[Droid X Accessories] joe_kool:
I've done this repair a few times and it normally depends on the LCD quality, actually had quite a few "tested" parts which were really faulty. If the connection is good and no rips, likely the part. I'm still looking for a good supplier for screens and parts. I don't trust ebay or amazon anymore... Tried a few other places too, like RU (terrible service).. Thanks!

Does anybody use Swype? I'm starting to get crazy because of it... :banghead: I try to install the beta from swype homepage, it installs, everything's fine, but when I try to use it I get force close. I downloaded a version from google, installed it, get the same problem. Try to copy it to system/app set permissions, than reboot, nothing, but the permissions lost... :confused: Any suggestion to make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tweezydak1d:
can anyone make the tablet camera work on mobile version of ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
It's the same app. Have a look for tablet mode under themes and apps.

I know that but I was trying to see if it will work without having to be in tablet mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brb123:
Unfortunately, that's not possible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.sonic:
Why? Cant we just force it to be in tablet mode? I changed my pixel density to 240, and some apps think it's a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blacksceada:
With Paranoid Android, you can choose perAPP density - so you can choose camera.app to run in Tablet UI...

I tried paranoid, but didn't like it. I am now on liquid, and I like it, so I only need camera app.

[Off-topic] mikereidis:
OK, I know this is kinda weird, but I live mostly on XDA these days, so thought I'd ask here in OT. :)

And I see the forum doesn't want me to ask a question in a non Q&A forum, but I see a "Boxers or Briefs ?" question, and this is supposed to be an OT forum, so...

I'm looking for tips or references to websites or lawyers etc.

I check the Social Security Death Index on the net every so often, and just found out my "estranged, biological" father died in November.

No need for consolations as I never knew him. I showed up on his doorstep 11 years ago to meet him for the first time. And he's a jerk for never even bothering to write to me once.

I believe he had some assets, but likely not too, too much in the grand scheme of things. Likely less than a house is worth. Perhaps.

But for all I know, he may have had a will, or there was next to nothing left. I'm sure I can find plenty of local (Canada) lawyers ready to take hundreds of dollars an hour from me, but if anyone has any tips or references to websites or whatever I'm open to suggestions. I'm happy to learn things on my own, but my app and lots of other things need my time too.

For reference, I think he likely died in or near Arizona but most of his assets may have been with a Bank of America branch in the LA, California area. I had some very helpful telephone contact with Bank of America in the past, so I guess I'll call them tomorrow. And he was a veteran of WW II.

And my situation could be complicated by the facts that I was born in the US, and lived there my first year of life, but have been in Canada since then and now have both citizenships.

I hate that the US and the IRS likely still sees me as a potentially taxpaying American. I gave up over a grand worth of with-holding taxes once to avoid getting involved with the IRS. But perhaps this will force my hand...

Any thoughts welcome. No condolences please, other than any mild commiserations offered for the millions of us who were raised in the challenging circumstances of a single parent house-hold. :)
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
I would call the SSA or maybe consult a lawyer. (actually, DEFINITELY consult a lawyer) I know you don't wanna do that but estate/inheritance law, is well....extremely complicated.
[Off-topic] AllGamer:
i seriously doubt you'll get anything worthwhile

specially when he didn't even give a damn about contacting you

in the even he did make a step bro or sis over there, chances are all whatever little is left has gone to them, If any

remember, you are dealing wit US of A, the IRS are like vultures whenever there's a death, and no will or immediate US of A family member to take care of his business

a chunk of it would probably have gone to taxes and collectors if he had any outstanding debt, the house if any might possibly still be on a mortgage and has landed on default to the bank, heck it might have even been double mortgaged considering how the cost of living is in the US of A

also any medical fees would have probably also come out of it

dude, you have a hard up hill battle to fight to get anything worthwhile back.

good luck on your endeavours
[Off-topic] mikereidis:
Thanks.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of the Social Security Administration. I'm not sure exactly what they could do for me though.

Today I sent some questions to the Veterans Administration via their web form.

I also had a nice 12 minute chat with somebody in the Bank of America "estate" department, or whatever they call it. They will be sending me some sort of package, perhaps once they figure out what happened with his account.

Yeah, I know the advice is always to get or ask a lawyer. :) But I'm happy to get the ball rolling myself. I don't need somebody charging me $200+ an hour for making simple phone calls or emails.

As I say, there might have been a will and I'm not a beneficiary, or there may be no assets left to claim, which could easily mean $1,000 spent on a lawyer for nothing, and I can't afford that. But I'll see what I can find out from a lawyer or 2 before I sign any lawyer contract.
[Off-topic] mikereidis:
Thanks, yes, I doubt it too, but I figure it's worth it to spend at least a bit of time trying to find out. In the event of a step-sibling and no will, I presume I should be entitled to a share, but that could require a legal fight, and I don't think I'd start such a fight, unless the assets were worth it and I had a good chance.

I think he didn't own any property, he rented and physical assets were likely a few old cars. But that 68 Camaro he had at one point was worth a few bucks...

Yeah, medical fees, but as a WW II veteran I'd guess he had VA coverage, but I don't know how that works.

Yeah, I likely won't start any fight, but I'm not going to ignore the possibility that I might have a few hundred grand (at most I'm sure) coming to me. He was a "penny pincher" and many such people can have a surprising amount tucked away.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] steveflack:
Gday again guys,

Yesterday, my Nook Overheated and turned off when i picked it up, it was roasting hot and i could barely touch it. I charged it in the morning but when i went to use it at lunch time, it was mega hot and had 8% Battery Left (from a full charge).

Has anyone else had this problem, because i cant imagine it being good for my Nook.

The other question i have, is it possible for us to disable the Phone/Cell roaming & data functions on CM7. I dont see it having much point there, and its only using battery life?

Cheers guys! Steve
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
thats definitely not normal, i would advise towards going to a b&n store, explain your problem and get a replacement. sounds like a hardware issue rather than software. of course erase everything and revert back to stock before you go to a b&n store.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Sounds like the battery has an internal short. Return :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] steveflack:
Its never happened before just the other day, my problem is that i dont live anywhere near America! so i can just 'return it'. I am currently working in Egypt, and i live in England which makes things mega hard.

Is there any chance it could just be a one off?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] delisawzrv:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
Since the standard voltage in Egypt is 220v, are you plugging into that? I'd be suprised if the charger is rated for that.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] starfyredragon:
One obvious question: Do you have a cover or case for your nook? Some aren't properly vented and can cause overheating.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] steveflack:
Yeah dude I have a cover but I don't think that effects it at all. This has only happened once. I think a program malfunctioned and used up loads of CPU which overheated it. Do you guys use any task managers to monitor what's using your CPU/memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnnyKushi:
My question pertains to this ROM/post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505433I

maybe I am misunderstanding the original post but in it he says that there is a way to fix the small home button lag and that it is a setting in jkay mod. Does he want me to download jkay mod seperately and install it or should my install already include it? if it already includes it how do I get to jkaymod settings. Note I am using the second rom in the above thread. I've heard good things about ICS and wanted to try a 4.0 rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I didn't think jkay mod was in any of the ICS ROMs yet. There is a home button lag fix in jkay settings on the GB ROMs with it. I think its called jkay deluxe in the app drawer. I have avoided the i777 leak. Sticking to the i9100 ports (SHOstock RC1 or Mystic's pride) or AOKP. I don't remember the lag being in either of the i9100 ports, check the change logs, but I have switched so many times to so many ROMs in the last few days I may be wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnnyKushi:
I see, that part of the post was probably pertaining to the first rom linked. Thanks for your quick answer. =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Correct. JKay hasn't rebased on ICS yet.

It's possible to do the home button fix with smali hacks - but right now many of the classic modding tools are a little flaky on ICS.

Yo guys,

Nothing really new: a quick search on xda and I can see that this has been posted at a few places already.

But still...

- Have you ever wanted to show your dad what your magic phone does for you?

- Have you ever wanted to test drive an Android app before actually installing it on your phone?

- Ever got stuck without your phone and you miss your favorite 0-gravity game?

Well, problem solved!: test drive BlueStacks' Android App Player beta-1 for Windows.

All you need is an e-mail address, choose if 'you have a phone' or not [can sync your phone apps automatically -I'd suggest you to use a trial email address with the "I have no phone option" first...] and go enjoy your new gigantic smartphone on your big screen :)

Take that ;)pads!! :D

The default installer is 3.6Mb in size, but there is also a ~100Mb .msi installer available [see pic 1].

Windows XP users might also what to make sure that they have Windows Installer v4.5 installed prior to BlueStacks' Player installation.

Hope you enjoy as I do.

Cheers.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
Lets be honest. these are not android phones. they have evolved past that. They are quite litterally PC's. or PPC's to be more accurate.

They are Portable Personal Computers and they are amazing.

With this rash of new and inevitably more coming "CHEAP" yet powerful android powered portable PC's coming out such as the $30 score and $50 vitality and PLENTY for under $99

suddenly things that were silly before or just too expensive are suddenly viable.

I WOULD LOVE to make this a HUGE threat for coming up with creative non phone uses (IE no celluar plan) for these amazing little devices.

I am going to dedicate the first few posts to listing in one place the great ideas you guys come up with. I will start off with just a few of the ideas we have come up with to use these phones for and links to software examples to do such with them.

Please ANY idea don't care what it is post it. Let's see just how much we can do with these amazing little devices.

I don't care if its free or paid software.

the only condition is it has to be useful without a cellular connection.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
My ZTE Score has a hardware GPS so I can load topo or road maps on it and have a nice portable GPS unit. For only $30 it was cheaper than other portable gps units.

Imagine having this hooked up in your car multitasking as a GPS unit and MP3 player if you don't have or want to use your regular phone.

Cheap devices are also a great way to learn about the hacking side of Android. You can get experience rooting, flashing CWM and ROMs (if available for your device) without the worry of bricking your primary phone. I learned how to build desktops by tearing down and rebuilding older computers where there was no risk if I broke something. Think of cheap phones as the same thing. Once you master them you'll feel more comfortable flashing a ROM on your new $500 phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangoo:
an ebook/comic and a divx reader, for me.

And a marvelous one at that, that can do a lot more than a 100$ kindle or a *input stupid amount of money*$ ipod and the such.

Even if unfortunately for me, being in Canada, i couldn't benefit from the Zte Score at 30$ and Samsung Vitality at 50$ good plans.

I'm curious bout the "PLENTY for under 99$" sentence, tough? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
I saw 4 or 5 on the shelf for under $100 at best buy including the samsung vitality ($99 with speaker) I think vitality alone was $79.99 the ZTE Score was $49.99 and the ZTE Chorus was $69 IIRC.

I think the boost "warp" was either $99 or $119.

and that was just what I saw at best buy. metro has plenty in that price range as well.

and on craigslist its not hard to find a droid for under $100 even pretty nice ones. all 3 of my EVO 4G's I paid under $100 for and thats a kick butt droid.

I even found EPIC 4G for $100 a pop once (pair of them $150) I should have bought them. dumb me.

its amazing how much "hardware" you can buy for $99 or less now. though the $30 range is what REALLY made these things delicious. almost an impulse buy at that price point.

remember the point of these is not to buy a phone plan but to use them as little PC's

little computers to "DO" interesting things with.

you can get a pretty decent eink reader 6" for lower than $70 now. these screens are a bit too small for reading to me :-) but yeah thats a use for them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangoo:
Yeah, i got that. What i meant by "good plans" was "good deals", i should have been clearer.

I guess american craiglist is a lot more packed than the canadian one ;)

(same with best buy for that matter)

Cheapest good one around here is 110$+taxes for a Lg Optimus One with a prepaid card.

I'll check again, but i doubt you can find something (not broken) for 50$ here in canada, unfortunately.

Oh, and i find it pleasing enough to read on a 3.5"-4" device, resizing is pretty easy and efficient.

Of course, i can't deny it is more pleasant on a bigger, dedicated ebook reader, but then again, what can these things do beyond reading ebooks?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
maybe you should start shopping in the US :-) hehe seriously hit ebay.

you can get votalities for $50 to $70 shipped (without the bt speaker of course :-)

as for reading. I am a book whore. I have an issue with reading. I can never have enough.

I have 2 kindle DX's so if something happens to one I never have to be without my books. I am a voracious reader.

my eyes KILL me after even 2 hours of reading on an LCD screen not to speak of the battery consumption and weight (tablet computer)

I am even eyeballing that new COLOR E-Ink device ($500 !! ouch) so I can read my magazines without a backlight.

For me its no option got to have an ereader.

but some have no issues reading an LCD.

Here is a NIB ZTE Score for $55 SHIPPED

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-Z...0990516405?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3cc43f3cb5

and there are TONS of them $60 and under. $55 is lowest "buy it now" I could find with free shipping

For the Vitality (a better device in my opinion) just search ebay for samsung vitality and click " cell phones" on the left to get rid of all the accessories from the results

TONS of them for $60 to $70 buy it now free shipping.

fun around long enough you could snag one for $50. all perfectly good in fact brand new. most do not include the bt speaker but some as low as $85 include the speaker with free shipping (well worth it the speaker is flat out amazing)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangoo:
That auction is for shipment in the us only, i had seen it ;)

Anyway i get the point, thanks :D

As for reading ebooks on my phone, i must confess that while i do like reading, i'm not reading as much as you, so a 3.5" screen is enough for me.

Anyway, i'm off to the classifieds again to find some cheap android phone to have fun with!
