[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eksasol:
Hi, I'm interested in buying this tablet to use it as a car GPS (using Google Maps pre-caching). My only concern is is the screen bright enough to see clearly under sunny condition? I heard the viewing angle is not that great.

Also how well does it lock to GPS signal?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I think the A100 is pretty nice in the sunlight, the screen is bright enough and we've had a lot of sun recently for ol' blighty. The only real thing that is a problem is glare from the glass (something that is common on pretty much anything), but there are lots of good anti glare screen protectors out there.

The GPS I find is spot on, very accurate and fast.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
It's pretty middle of the road as far as ooutdoor readability. It's definitly not on the level of Samsung screens nor does it have any antiglare like the Nook Color. If you're using it as GPS and I think viewing angles will be your worst problem where this tablet can be below average, and adding normal daylight LCD issues on top of that will probably make it worse.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sleekgreek:
I was gonna buy a floor bolt mount for mine, but changed mind. The viewing angles are incredibly bad. If you just want a gps I would just go buy an 80 dollar cheapy, you'd have gps and music or whatever and wait for the asus to drop.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sofaford:
Hi, Tried installing my first Nexus ICS Android on HTC HD2

following instruction here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1434860

Got to the point where I got MAGLDR v1.13 installed and running.

Then found that I needed HD2 Android NAND Tool and Repartitioned System size to 200 Mb

using USB flasher mode on the MAGLDR.

Then NAND Tool suggested that running Wipe(taks 29) to be a good idea before attempting to install Android so I tried running this as well.

I got the phone into tri-colour USB mode and started wipe. USB mode disappeared replaced by HTC progress bar but it got stuck at 0% and timedout.

I tried recovering to HTC original WWE ROM but it also gets stuck at 0% progress.

Currently Bootloader starts and loads a options, I can also go into USB mode but nothing will start updating the phone it gets stuck at 0%.

I think what repartitioning created a problem but I am unsure how to recover it and need your help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Wrong forum, should be in the Q&A. You'd have thought it would be obvious, seeing as you're asking a QUESTION, but somehow people don't pick that up :rolleyes:

Also, you really need to read more. There isn't any point in installing MAGLDR then Task29ing, in fact there is very little point in Task29ing at all unless you experience major problems with your phone. A simple data wipe (in CWM) and repartition has never failed me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Monk4Life:
If you did a task 29 after doing the other steps first then you wiped everything back off. Install magldr again then CWM and then install your rom of choice.

Also for being a member since 2005 you should know not to EVER post a question in development.

Mods please move to Q&A

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sofaford:
Sorry for posting it in the wrong forum.

Many thanks for the comments...I cannot install anything at present because once update process starts it times out at 0%. Task29 did not work either - it also gets stuck at 0%.

Only thing that works is Boot loader and USB mode.

As Boot loader is working I tried to install NAND Android following this instruction:

2. FLASH YOUR ANDROID ROM

The Original NAND Android Thread by Cotulla is *HERE*

NOTE1: This section is only applicable AFTER you have flashed MAGLDR to your Device

NOTE2: Make sure your phone is still connected via usb cable before starting

* When your phone Reboots it will Enter the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen *

1. Press the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5: USB Flasher and press the 'Call' button (far left of the 5 hardware buttons at the bottom)

2. The menu will enter Android Flasher mode and install usb drivers if not present

3. Browse to the folder you extracted your NAND Android Package files to on your pc, right click on Run DAF.exe (or Install.exe if DAF.exe isnt present) and select Run as Administrator

But DAF is giving this error back:

Error happen

Read below for more information

Error Description: USB init failed

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
thats all old instructuions.

go get the nand toolkit, and also get hspl3

...

phone into bootloader (tri colour screen, not magldr)

connect usb

run hspl3

choose 2.08.hspl (don't assume its already 2.08.hspl, check it, hanging at 0% is often a sign of no hspl)

when reboots immediately go back into bootloader

*(* from here on you can do all this in the nand toolkit*)*

flash magldr

when it reboots enter magldr

(if phone hangs on a htc screen and doesn't show magldr, you need to flash radio 2.15.50)

phone into magldr

connect usb

choose 'usb flasher'

in toolkit select desired system partition size and cache size

when its finished

phone back into magldr

choose 'ad nand'

this starts cwm

(if you havent yet partitioned your sd card with an ext partitio, look ity up and do it now)

select 'install zip from sd'

select zip from sd

browse to where you dropped the rom.zip file onto your sd card.

when it reboots you're done, , alternatively it failed somewhere, , which step?

if you get apparent driver errors, theres a nice big button called drivers in the toolkit (i think?)

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
No matter what rom i flash i get soso battery life some peeps report 35 hours whit stock battery and light usage ... I can't get 5 hours whit light usage ..

Can someone tell me how to clean flash ?? Or calibration battery process ? Thanks..
[HTC Sensation] dullahan263:
You can download BetterBatteryStats. Charge your phone to full and leave it idle overnight. Then open BetterBatteryStats and see under "Partial Wakelocks" and "Kernel Wakelocks" too see if any app keeps waking up the phone. Then try tweaking those apps sync interval, set it to longest interval possible or just turn off syncing.

If you experience drain with wifi on, it maybe because of the router sending weird signals and keeps the phone up ( like with my old DLink router, it drains 10%/h doing nothing). Try switching to another router if that is the case.

Calibration is a myth and it doesn't help with battery life.

Why don't you try super wipe everything and flash a new rom and kernel from scratch and see if you still get drain from this clean state. My recommendation would be ROM : ARHD 6.5.5 and Kernel : SebastianFM's OverclockedKernel. I have excellent battery life with this combination. I also undervolt all steps -100mV.
[HTC Sensation] €ZMAN:
you must get new strong battery
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Thanks for helping me out but i do not sync anything during weekdays only tjing i do is music whit screen off i don't sync nothing no data connection nothing...

I really want to try arhd however it requires 4ext recovery which i dont like it im more familiar whit clockworkmod but will do clean flash and let you guys know how it goes hopefully it will fix it...
[HTC Sensation] dullahan263:
Also use system tuner or setcpu to set minumum cpu speed from 384Mhz to 192Mhz. It helps me with playing music when screen off ( from 6-7%/h to 2-3%/h).

4XT recovery is touch version of cwm with some more features like MD5 checksum, mount sd etc... Try it and you will love it. Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Do i set it as a profile when screen off ? And i dont use 4ext because when i flash roms or anything im scared i touch something by accident and mess up im kinda nervous when flashing :(

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AlexLoafTran:
There's a problem with the keyboard of my girlfriend's SK17i and I don't know whether it is a software or hardware problem.

The problem in question is a over-sensitive key, in which for this case, it's the "f" key. Whenever she uses the pop out keyboard, the "f" key seems to be jammed and it would infest any of my messages with a bombardment of "f"'s, making it extremely irritating to use. It's gotten to the point where she don't actually have to press down on the key, all she has to do is slide her finger across it and it would register on multiple occasions. In addition, it would also register if she were to press the other keys around the "f" key, rendering the keyboard almost completely useless.

Furthermore, the extent of the problem actually affects the phone whilst the screen is off; at times, she would wake up in the morning and if she was on whatsapp, the messaging bar would be full of "f"'s and if she was on the homescreen instead, the phone would automatically open up the browser and the search bar would also be full of "f"'s. Moreover, it also affects the on screen keyboard, albeit not as much but at times, the phone would seem to be registering "f"'s as it thinks that the pop out keyboard is in use. Therefore, the on screen keyboard is also becoming highly irritating to use.

I don't know how to fix this and it seems the more likely to be a hardware problem but if anyone seems to have this problem and was able to fix it through a software solution, please let me know as she loves this phone and she don't want to get rid of it! Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Does the button itself still behave correctly, like you can press it?

It seems more like hardware failure to me.

About those f's, doesn't lockscreen prevent that from happening, while screen is off?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AlexLoafTran:
She can still press down the key and it clicks which means that it works and isn't jammed.

As for the lockscreen situation, she didn't actually press down the lock button because she assumes that once the screen goes black, it automatically locks and it does on any android phone. Maybe the "f" key is stopping it from actually self locking.

Also, she says that whenever she presses down on any other key, it has a bit of resistance but on the "f" key, it feels flimsy. We both assume that it is a hardware problem but we just wanted a second opinion.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mauritzius:
If it feels "flimsy" then it doesn't behave correctly, IMHO.

Have you tried resetting the phone to factory defaults? If not, give that a try (backup first!), although I doubt it will make any difference.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Exactly. That part blocks it from locking.

It does seem a hardware problem, because there is no such thing as button sensitivity. What I mean, is that key is damaged and is touching the sensor(a small button on chip likely).

If you still have warranty, take it back to shop.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AlexLoafTran:
Thanks for the advice! She'll take it back to the seller with the warranty (bought it online with 12 month warranty)

Recent Apps Mod in Status Bar for CM9

Hey everyone, I just compiled this small mod from the cm9 source for the att galaxy s2. It adds button in the status bar that goes to recent apps dialoge. Just flash this in cwm on top of CM9.

See the screenshots for more details...

Download in attachments...

Screenshots...

Thanks to

sam3000 for documenting the extra steps he did to compile cm9

and evilisto for his excellent guide on how to do this which can be found here

One last thing... If you would be interested in me remapping the search key to serve as a dedicated multi-tasking button please leave a comment telling me. I wasn't sure if people wanted this so I'm not gonna make it until I have some support :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
Remap Search Key as Recent Apps

This small mod lets the search key act as the recent apps toggle that the galaxy nexus has. Just press the search key, and it will bring you directly to the recent apps dialoge, which makes multitasking even easier. This is only for cm9. There's really no need for screenshots or anything becuase its just a different way to get to the recent apps. It may be a bit confusing at first trying to use the launcher without the search key, but you'll quickly get used to it. I reccommend putting the google search widget that is on every homescreen...
