gta on nook tablet

Im trying to as well. I downloaded an apk file but it keeps crashing after the intro.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
Sorry cant help directly because ive got a 16gb. One of you tried DLing an apk (im not promoting warez just accepting the fact you may have used that :( ) I installed from the market and let it download. After that it wouldnt go any further than launching the application. IF youre having problems after the download then i would clear all of the data for it through a file explorer (com.rockstar.games ) and delete that. Then uninstall GTA3 and re-install from the market (or whatever you got your apk from).

hope it helps in some way
[HTC EVO 3D] dj10000:
I am using TWRP 2.0 but I can't flash a new ROM. I currently have WARMTWOPOINTTHREE ROM backup, but I tried to flash a new ROM after wiping everything, and when it re-boots it just goes to the white HTC screen and then goes black and just repeats it self over and and over.

so i take the battery out and boot my back up from recovery. what do i need to do to be able to get back to installing whatever ROM i want.

i am a obviously a noob so whatever help anyone can provide will be appreciated.

i was trying to flash the ZR3D 1.2 ROM by the way.

I would go to Cwm 4.0 for recovery had nothing but issues using the latest twrp . Worked fine for awhile then it didn't wipe right to causing weird issues . Funky things after the rom flashed .
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
need more info in regards to how you flashed your rom but at this point im willing to bet you have lost your Boot.IMG and also did you use GUI app from market i did this and that how i lost my Boot.IMG and if so you will have to go to your pc and exract the Boot.img from the rom you flashed and after you have exratced file go to that folder and scrooll down until you see the Boot.IMG file and you will have to copy and past it into the folder that you used when you first rooted you phone and go to the start menu and typ cmd and you will have connect your evo to usb and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will it boot right up after you flash the boot.img file
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If he is flashing the rom just the rom. Go to fastboot select . Fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe flash ur set. With a computer and your sitting pretty.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Im with reaper24 on this one.

Twrp cause nothing but issues. like not backing up my data correctly and having to redownload the ROM.

Im currently using clockworkmod 4.0.1.4. Havent had any issues with it.

Also have you read everything on ZR3D thread?

On his rom you will probably need to if still hboot 1.5 need to go to fastboot and fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe flash zero issues that method.

Analysts are expecting four million Galaxy Note sold in the first quarter 2012.

http://www.etnews.com/news/home_mobile/information/2573897_1483.html (in Korean, sorry.)

Last quarter, one million Notes were sold. That makes total 5 million Notes.

What do you think is the best selling point?

For me, it is the 5.3 inch screen and S-Pen.

I tend to forget things, so I need a device that I can jot down quickly before I forget. Note is the perfect device for me for I can carry it anywhere always.

I have at least 2 friends that are waiting for the GSIII launch, in anticipation that the note price might drop a bit. They both use iPhones right now, so maybe 2 more sales for Q2 or Q3.

One other friend is waiting for info on the Journal for Verizon, hopefully she won't be disappointed.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
Back then (when I wasnt owning a Note), I would look amazed at how big the S2 was... So I bought myself an S2... when the Note was released, My jaws dropped on how big the Note is, side by side with my S2... My S2 look like an ordinary phone compared to the Note.

Now, having a Note already... I laugh at myself seeing others looking at my Note and commenting how big it is... Though now, I find my Note's screen not big anymore...

I guess my eyes have already used to seeing the size of it everyday, that's why I laughed at other people giving a remark on the size of it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kitsVA:
It's been a struggle for me from day one to like Xperia S after using Arc for a very long time. Performance wise there are no issues with S.

Out the box it did have the WOW factor. My friend got white and I went with black and I personally liked white and I wish I ordered it.

Why I want to get back to Arc?

1. I don't know how much longer it takes me to get it but those capacitive buttons need to be pressed couple of times for me. Especially the back button. I don't know if it's because I am a lefty. But even other buttons, I seem to have to try second, third time and it only gets worse in total darkness.

2. The design doesn't look as nice as in pictures. Feels like an HTC phone. It only looks cool on the back side.

3. The USB flap is a joke and it definitely won't last long for me.

4. The bottom bezel is just too wide as I expected.

5. Front camera doesn't look well designed. You can see metal petals around it making it look like a rushed design.

6. Just too thick after enjoying the sleek curvy Arc.

7. Wish ICS around the corner I think Sony rushed this product which is mostly designed for Android 2.3.7. There is no need for those Capacitive buttons when I don't find they need spot on touch. It's like hitting a bull-eyes for me with back button.

Some Pros

1. Camera responsiveness is amazing.

2. Sleep SE UI which I love and can be had on Arc as well.

3. Transparent strip is super cool design idea. I might actually consider Xperia P after I read user reviews.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Smartphoner:
Give it a 2nd thought

Aren't u being a little bit harsh on the device :o

U may be right with some things about the design but it doesn't make it horrible to ditch it that soon...

- the capacitive buttons could be handled by doing a slide motion on it and that gives a dynamic more comfortable move and would be a lot easier for u than righties

- the design is more than awesome, yes not like the arc but it's really neat and every model has to be different than the other, that's life, and so what it's like htc (amazing devices)

- the flap is useful for making the device more sleek and avoiding dirt which ruins most devices in the future, and it is durable and not that fragile as u think, it will last don't worry

- the bottom bezel is nothing of any concern, i advice u not to look at the bottom!

- u may be right about the front camera but not that obvious and could be tolerated

- the thick design makes it more sturdy and well fitted design to hold in hand!

- ICS is not so far away from now, and being it not present out the box is to make u appreciate the device more well in every aspect after the upgrade!!

IMO, enjoy this magnificent phone and look at its bright side and the many more pros of this master piece!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kitsVA:
Thanks for this tip. The slide seems to nail it now :-).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bennachie:
I believe you are right about the design issues though. So much so that am now in a quandry over my imminent upgrade.................
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Sorry for feeling that way(I wanted to sound like a Sony rep which I am not :D)

Mine were OK from the begining and then I used the slide trick and made it much better.

I got the white one and it looks nicer than video and no where close to HTC. This is much more solid that the arc and it looks nice in front (maybe since I have the white one I can see the contrast of black screen with white bezel).

I agree, and thats why I liked Xperia P but I didn't like Xperia arc usb either, just the big hole that it was like a misplaced design.

isn't it as wide as upper part of the phone? If you are saying it is long then its because of that transparent part and whatever is inside that bottom. I wish they could do something about it but one issue I had with arc was that bezel is very low and I would hit stuff on screen all the time for no reason. Not to give credit to long bezel on Xperia S. maybe little bit shorter than this.

I could be less visible, maybe they wanted to show off that their phone has a front facing camera in marketing ads before release..

Agree.

I would rather to illuminate the buttons on screen and only use the capacitive buttons instead to give more room to screen itself.

ICS should be around corner (beginning of April)

All those + I am with you for Xperia P. I wish Xperia P had a little bit bigger screen and I wouldn't mind other stuff.

Happy to have Xperia S in white.

Thanks for your review.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Crocodile1973:
Noticed the button response when looking at it in store. Right handed and found it a little unresponsive to my touch. Design is super cool though. Just wish they had waited and released shipped with ics. Looks promising, worries me the amount of them that have been damaged by people, just dropping a small height.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kitsVA:
Build quality is way better than Arc. I just played with my friends white Xperia S again and the bottom bezel doesn't feel long mainly because of the white bezel contrasting from the black screen/glass part of the phone. Looks like I might actually sell black and get back on white. I did this same crap with my Arc. Rushed for Silver from Japan and sold to only get the darker one :-)

After using Arc for so long and now S and with Galaxy Nexus for few weeks, 4" sounds tiny these days :-). I hate cases but I might just consider one for S. Few more weeks with the phone and I believe the sensitivity of the buttons will probably get better due to Muscle Memory :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steelmm:
I have just got my xps it is great no issues at all

Everything is perfect I dont know why people are unhappy dont they know what they want out of the handset I do I am a powrr user this phone is the best out there and it is sony u cant go wrong people
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
So go back then.

I don't know why you feel you should like this phone, taste is subjective. If you don't like it, send it back and stick with the Arc or buy something else.

Don't know where you are or how your bought the device but in the EU the distance selling regulations allow for return within 7 days (apart from damage/misuse obviously) even if you just change your mind. Assuming you ordered online, just do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
Is it possible that some developpers have managed to trick Market and leave so many raving reviews for their awful apps? I'm talking thousands of reviews for less than 500 downloads.

I don't want to name any and contribute to this unfair promotion of those apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuffinthesky:
Possible? Very.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
It looks like a question but it's not really a Q&A... It's a discussion.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Well, if you said the apps are awful, then why not list those apps out?

If you are telling the truth, then why scare?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
I've noticed that Google play only updates how many downloads it has at certain intervals. Like for instance, when i got titanium backup installed for the first time, Google play said that it was at 1,000,000 downloads, and in the description, it said that it had just hit 6,000,000. It seems that the next time Google play updates it from 1,000,000 is at 10,000,000 , so sometimes what you see is a bit false! :)

Maybe thats why?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
Then I said I didn't want to contribute to the promotion of those apps. By naming them here I'd be advertising them and more people would go and download them. And the ones I saw require almost all permissions for stuff they don't even need, so they're more likely very malicious.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
That's possible but unlikely in this case. Cause there's a big difference in numbers. Normally Market takes a day at most to refresh the stats data.

Plus all new reviews are negative and say those apps are fake. So i think there's way to cheat the review system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuffinthesky:
Such as someone setting up multiple accounts and giving rave reviews to an unworthy app that said someone published? I'm sure there are other ways as well. Always a way to "cheat" at something.

ten characters
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
I think it's even more than multiple accounts. It's some sort of a script or a bot or whatever you wanna call it. Cause it's just impossible to leave so many reviews in so little time.

Ok. Here's an example. But for the love of humanity do not go download it.

There's an app that claims to recharge your device if you shake it. Now anyone with the tiniest shred of intelligence knows that that's impossible by an app, it's a complicated mechanism and you need the hardware for it. Yet, as of now, it's got 1550 reviews in just a few days but only less than 500 downloads, but that soon's gonna change because it's on the Top New Apps because all of the nice reviews.

Again, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT because first it looks malicious with all the permissions it require, and second, it doesn't deserve to be on the TOP list.

There are a whole bunch of others like that, that i don't care to promote.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You don't have to think like that.

If you find some good apps, just list so other members aware and use, even paid apps.

If you find some shytty apps, just list so others know about it and stop using.

And more important, choose to use or not to use is others' decision.

That's how community works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainZzz:
You're right about good interesting apps, I'd be more than happy to share them, and a good community is all about sharing, and it's up to others to decide whether they want them or not, that's all good.

But that's outside my point. I'm talking about bad apps that are plaguing the Android Market, that are being spread like a virus due to dirty tricks. We should not ecourage those. If I had posted a link more people would have downloaded them, and then I would be contributing negatively to the Android Community. Bad publicity is still publicity.

But anyways if you read my last post, i eventually did mention one that you can easily find, just for the purpose of providing evidence that some apps, whether malicious or not, are getting ahead in the game and on top of many lists by inserting an overwhelming amount of positive reviews (thousands) in just a few days within release. We should not encourage those. And Google should find a solution to this problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Different philosophy here, I guess.

My take, if you find a BAD app and you choose to be quiet, not let anyone know, then NO ONE knows it's bad and when they don't know, they might use it and becomes a victim. In other hand, if you post and CLEARLY indicate "this is a BAD app, DO NOT use" then people acknowledge and stop using.

It's just like a true, un-biased review. If I want to purchase a device and seeing NO rating, I might give it a chance but if I see it has BAD rating, I wouldn't buy it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Ok most of the newer ROMs let you display the signal in the status bar as a number and I've noticed that with the AOSP ROM (U.K.E. v1.4.6 for the test I did) displays a lot lower numbers (usually between -75 and -95) than the Sense ROM (MikShifted v2.1 for the test). The Sense ROM usually displays between -98 to -109, but when you go into "About Phone" in settings it and look at "Signal Strength" it always says a number in the same range as the AOSP ROM (-75 and -95). I have no knowledge of radio theory or anything of the like, could anybody explain this? Are the Sense ROM numbers just off in the status bar? Or do AOSP ROMs get better signal without the Sense overlay? I have noticed this trend in all the Sense and AOSP ROMs that have this feature, not just these two. I am just curious if somebody could explain it. Thanks in advance!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drob311:
Each phone will be different... My shift, has weaker signal running aosp as compared to sense, it's very minimal difference but I really notice it when using 4G or when on wifi and moving away from my signal... I could be wrong but I think I read that aosp signal strength was off.

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
I would agree with drob311, my signal strength/data speeds seems to be a bit faster when running Sense. It's not a huge difference because I definitely prefer AOSP to Sense but when I am running a Sense ROM it has a slight edge over AOSP.. Just in my experience.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Not that I run AOSP all that much. But the few times I have messed with it, my Signal hasn't been all that good. Again as drob, and crump mentioned not a huge difference. Just enough to be able to tell it's slower. But I've never done any "real" tests. Also, I'm certain there are other variables involved that I'm not accounting for.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Oh I just noticed it and thought it was interesting and thought I'd see if anybody knew why.. Thanks for the responses tho
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
It was more of a "Am I seeing this right experiment" than a real experiment. I don't know but when I did a speed test, flushing all caches and overclocked to the same speed, the averages where pretty much the same, just wondered if the signal strength was effected, not the performance.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloverdale:
The true speeds are the same (on average), and what you see with the AOSP ROM is the true strength. The sense ROMs exaggerate the signal to give customers a placebo benefit.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Yeah i agree, when i ran AOSP I had 0 bars which equaled out to 58 kbps download speeds on 3G, but Sense always showed 4 bars to full bars with same speed results
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
I was kinda thinking that by looking more closely into it, but like I said I know nothing of radio theory.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Well HERE is a good link to start with. Also THIS is another one. Both links have a bunch of other links connected. Should be a start :) .
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneoftheRabble:
The actual signal strength does not change from one ROM to the next. That would be impossible to do at the ROM level. The only thing that can change is the algorithm that takes the dBm signal strength given to it at the output of the transceiver and "translates" that into a readable quantity. So, if the ROM "samples" the signal more times per "x" cycle than another, the "signal strength" will be more averaged over a longer time period. The longer "sampling" time, the less averaged it will be. Then you have the unknown of HOW the ROM developer uses that information to write to the screen.

The hardware inside the phone. the distance it is from the transmitter and the environment in between is what determines your signal strength. The ONLY way to increase it or decrease it is to build in an RF amplifier or attenuator. That isn't something that can be done in firmware or software.

To many people get WAY to anal about what their different "Meters" on their phones are telling them without knowing WHAT those "meters" are actually doing.

See ya'

OotR
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
Yeah kinda like how Sense Roms never shows 1x.

Personally my data has always been worse on sense.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_love_420:
Well that is because of the carrier setting it to only show 3g even during 1x. Sprint feels the need to lie to its customers making them think they are in 3g coverage when they are not. Easy fix to have it actually call on the correct array of images but IMHO we shouldnt have to do that little edit to correct it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
Yeah I already knew about that, that's why I mentioned that. Like I said I get better consitant data speeds on AOSP roms then on sense where the bars are constantly going up/down. For instance I'll be browsing on the web browser and loading a webpage is very sporatic on Sense Roms.
