[Asus Transformer TF700] goodintentions:
Ok, I'll take that I guess.

I'm just weary about tech websites nowadays. Last year, I stumbled upon an article comparing the ipad 2 to an android tablet. From start to finish, the author never even mentioned what the android tablet was. When I zoomed into the picture, I could have sworn it was one of those cheap chinese tablets that ran on android 2.2 or 1.6. This was about the time when praising the ipad got you a lot of readers because the ipad 2 had just come out.

Almost every tech review of the TF101 said typing using the docking station was annoying because the mouse pointer was jumping around too much. Get it? Not a single one of these so-called tech reviewers and experts knew the 4th button from the left top row disables the trackpad.

What I've found most interesting is the fact that for almost a year most tech reviewers just ignored the TF101 completely. There were plenty of "top 10 tablets" or "ipad killer tablets" articles. 99% of them left out the TF101 completely even though the transformer was even more popular than the xoom.

Let's go back even further. I remember when asus chairman launched the asus transformer along with several other new products. I was watching live blogs made by various "journalists". What I noticed was they were all criticizing the transformer even before they got their hands on it. I specifically remember one "journalist" writing he thought no one would be interested in a laptop-tablet hybrid.

The tech media needs to start doing some heavy self-censuring if they want me to start trusting them again. As far as I'm concern, they're a bunch of liars who would say anything to put apple above everything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
Agreed with the fanboy bias, since there are a few major sites that prefer Apples in their diet.

[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Okay, I want to see some ways you guys calibrate your new battery. I just bought an OEM battery, and I have read many ways of how people calibrate their batteries. I just want to know what you guys personally do, and is there any "official" way said to do it?

When I get the battery should I drain it all the way or charge it for 6 hours?

I have read a lot of times that charging it to 100 then draining to 0 five times gives optimal charge, but I have also read on that it doesn't help with lithium-ion batteries. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

Also anyone got any links to good external battery chargers since I need one now that I'm going to carry two batteries.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I usually charge them up full overnight then run them into ground first few times.. This will become an endless debate though if that actually does help or not lol, i know with older batteries it used to but thing the new technology batteries it doesn't make much a difference. I still do though figure may as well I always have why stop now

then follow this guide and i think it will install mulitple new language fonts onto your phone. http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-t...-unsupported-language-fonts-to-android-phone/
[HTC Wildfire S] skippycentraal:
This is about to change system fonts if you want differents fonts you must change the name of the fonts to the original file name of android to make it work but thats not the problem. i wanna put in the values-nl into framework-res.apk.

I have manage with apkedit to put values-nl into com.htc.resources.apk but is doesn't work with framework-res.apk.

Hello everyone i tried looking around this forum but cant find what i need do i need to have the bootloader unlocked to have root access and whats the safest way to root my device
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone are two separate processes, and you don't need one to have the other.

As far as root methods and the rest, have you looked here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393519
[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
Im a noob with motorola i always had samsung. Samsung doesnt have a bootloader what is good about unlocking the bootloader sorry for my noon question
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to load roms like CM7, CM9, MIUI - anything that uses a custom kernel. It also allows you to load up a custom recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
Oh ok thank you for that info im gonna stay stock waiting for ics 4.0 comes out in may
[Motorola Photon 4G] kjfan1:
Where did you head ICS in may? Sorry to hi-jack. Just being hopeful here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
For now, the only Motorola smartphones scheduled to get ICS in 2012 are thr Photon 4G, Atrix 4G and Atrix 2 starting in July. The rest of Motorola's lineup, including the Droid 4 and Droid Razr Maxx are in the evaluation and planning stage, and that means there is no guarantee they will be updated.

My i777 is stuck at the (Phone)... (!)...(Computer) screen and it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Can anyone help me get it back up and going? Ive searched forum and have seen nobody with this problem. Thanks in advanced!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
You need a jig. Hopefully you already have one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bryank24:
i do have one but still cant get it... my computer does not recognize the phone while plugged in either... I have re downloaded the drivers and everything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
What did you do just so I know never to do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
See if you can get into download mode this way:

Remove the battery. With the battery still out, hold Vol- and Vol+ buttons while plugging in the usb cable. The pc will provide the power.

If it goes into download mode, flash back to stock or another rom if you have a tar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bryank24:
I was flashing back to stock using Odin and I bumped my phone and it came disconnected (maybe a short in the usb?) Next time I will be leaving the room while I'm doing it! lol. I finally got it to boot into download mode but when i run Odin one click it gets hung at cache.img and when i run regular odin it gets hung at setupconnection for a while before saying Can't open the serial(COM) port. Hope this will help someone help me! Thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CoreGMRConMan:
Sup, the OP is my buddy IRL and I have been helping him get this going. Thought I could add more info since I am more familiar with this stuff. [See what happens when you show off ICS to your buddies... :P .]

I don't know HOW the phone got where it is, but here is what is up now...

When you turn the phone on normally-

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

When you try to enter into a CWM bootloader, it does not go. [He says he rooted the phone a long time ago before he tried to get started on installing a custom ROM, but doesn't remember what pack. So I am not sure if it was ever really rooted or ever contained CWM.]

When you enter Download Mode-

Tried running 0din regular. 0din recognizes it, yet you try to flash a "root pack" it hangs on flashsys.cfg and says "CACHE" next to the COM port.

Running OneClick 0din by Creepy, it stalls on cache.img

The download Mode says "NO" on flash counter and has the right phone model. I think the warranty will still be good. But I'd like to try and save it.

I feel like the phone has no bootloaders on it at all. But I don't know how to push bootloaders [all 3] onto the phone. I don't know if it is even possible with 0din not even working.

I am lost...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If the phone is showing any signs of life then most likely the bootloaders are fine.

And whether it has stock recovery or cwm recovery - recovery is built into the kernel not the bootloaders - for cwm you will see a cwm recovery version number or for stock recovery you will see 3e for the recovery version number.

If you are getting into download mode and getting an aborted flash then you are close and the problem likely is with either the version of Odin, or the computer you have, or possibly you have a corrupted firmware package - one of these is more likely the issue - if you are able to get into download mode your bootloaders are probably fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Try redownloading the Odin one click package just incase the first was a corrupt download.

Also make sure Odin is showing com port is connected just before flash once the phone is in download mode and connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CoreGMRConMan:
yes We got Com ports connected on both the one-click and the regular 0din.

he is bringing it to my computer to try and flash. his USB ports might be broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Try flashing just the siyah kernel only via Odin using the tar ball.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CoreGMRConMan:
ok... just did that. i noticed since i got the phone in my posession that the problem is with the USB connection on the phone... its lose. tried alchohol to clean contacts and didnt help. i have to hold the cable a certain way to get it to flash...

anyways, i flashed Siyah and it flashes all the way, phone restarts... shows android guy with unpacking bag, looks like it will install, then tries to boot. on boot it shows galaxy s2 and yellow triangle.

download mode still boots, but now has a 1 count.

now what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If you got the siyah kernel to flash you should have working cwm recovery, try to get into recovery and do a factory reset then see if it will boot up all the way.

Also, if you now know how to hold the usb cable you can carefully attempt to flash back to stock with the Odin one click from creepy's thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CoreGMRConMan:
BAM! Fixed! Thanks guys... XDA is the place!! And thank you creepy. Basically after i installed that tar, i installed a root tar. booted right into a rom. Hopefully i can get this USB cable port figured out...

Oh and I have a t989 and I saw the i9100 screen and shat bricks because I am like pavlovs dog trained on not to EVER see i9100 on my phone. Then I remembered, different phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can use a jig to remove the 1 count and I9100 boot screen. You can also install ICS, and then use codeworkx Triangle Away app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nah, just needs to flash a proper kernel with odin/heimdall. Phone<->PC screen is "forced download" mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CoreGMRConMan:
I dont think he is too worried about that now.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Obviously we are all Android lovers right? :p

But as I was skimming around one of the general Android forums, I came upon a thread that was talking about something called "Bootdroid." Assuming that this is not fake, Bootdroid allows you to dual boot Android and iOS 5.

I'm going to be honest, being able to boot into iOS 5 on an Android device seems pretty interesting to me. Booting into (a jailbroken) iOS also means being able to use iOS apps that aren't found in the Play Store. Also, buying those expensive iOS devices won't be a problem because you would now be able to take a cheaper Android device, such as the O1, and boot iOS on it.

Probably the only reason why I would choose iOS over Android (other than the apps) is because of how Android lags due to how it renders the UI:

https://plus.google.com/100838276097451809262/posts/VDkV9XaJRGS

I would guess that our phone's hardware can probably run iOS smoothly given the specs of an iPhone. While the iPhone has a stronger CPU (1GHz Cortex-A9 compared to our 600Mhz ARM11) and a stronger GPU, both the iPhone and the O1 have 512 MB RAM. Also, on the project page, it says that iOS works well on the Motorola Droid, which has a 600Mhz CPU and 256MB RAM.

What's cool about this Bootdroid is that according to the blogspot below:

Of course, if Bootdroid is fake, this would all just be wishful thinking. But it seems pretty legit to me:

http://code.google.com/p/bootdroid/

https://github.com/Peter42/BootDroid

What are your thoughts?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Koragg618:
Interesting, this would actually benefit us because of the many things in iOS, but then again, Android is awesome. I hope this isn't a fake like the other ones i've seen because it would be pretty sweet to have Android and iOS dual-boot
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
Looks really cool.... but our O1 resolution is not in proportion to 960x640
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Actually it is ;)

Isn't our phone 480x320? We can divide 960x640 by 2 to get the resolution of the O1.

This is one of those few times where having a smaller resolution comes in handy. Good luck to those who have 480x800 :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
oh OK...I thought the other way...I thought that the proportion between length and width should be the same... like 480 is 1.33 times of 320 but the same is not the case with 960x640..

and what about phones with hd display... :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Well luckily for us, our phone's resolution is proportional to that of the iPhone. For higher-end phones with a greater resolution (such as 480x800), it's going to be hard to resize everything :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Gotta be nice :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I thought the project was at a standstill, but it looks like there is some activity going on. If you check out the blogspot, every previous post seems to be deleted. The only post shows a smiley face with the title "Copyright Infringement: Part II" and the words "The Battle has begun. We'll be back soon." I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but at least something is happening :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ThePresence:
ios on Android phone sounds good..:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lycan:
I actually lolled at that one :P

However, iPhone 2G and 3G have HVGA display so iOS running on the O1 doesn't seem impossible. Just hope that they based it on iOS 2/3/4 and not 5.

But the HVGA variants (screens have 480×320 pixels (3:2 aspect ratio), 480×360 pixels (4:3 aspect ratio), 480×272 (~16:9 aspect ratio) or 640×240 pixels (8:3 aspect ratio)) doesn't include 640x960.

But I'd love to get iOS on my phone especially because of uber smooth scrolling.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] creagrox:
Guys you have been talking about resolutions and things. But i think it should be least of our worries . being the Orwellian philosophy that apple follows, will it be possible to hack and slash it up to our needs. of course its our wet dream but the hardware support, kernels all these things- it Wiil definitely be some time before the greatest devs figure it all out.

I'm sincerely not saying this in derogatory sense, just giving you guys some perspectives.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cellulah:
Well, it finally happened - my Droid Incredible is stuck in a boot loop. It was working one moment, in a boot loop the next... I can enter recovery so I'm not all that worried. However, before I try a complete re-flash, is there anything else I can do? I've heard wiping the cache might help but does that mean both the cache and dalvik cache, or just the cache? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You can try wiping both the cache partition and dalvik-cache and see if that helps. If it dosent, wipe everything in the mounts and storage menu in recovery except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a good backup or reflash a fresh rom.

Stock firmware should be the full file with PDA Modem and CSC

No mention of 3 files in the instructions there .

How to install the latest firmware on your phone. This will also get rid of Bell's bloatware:

1) Make sure you have working drivers installed on your computer. If you do not, the easiest way is to download Kies and it will install it for you.

2) Install Odin 1.85 on your computer (attached at the bottom of this post)

3) Pick any firmware version you would like to flash from Intratech's thread linked here. The firmware is arranged from oldest to newest so the last ones are obviously going to be the newest.

4) Start Odin in "administrator" mode and make sure Kies is not running in the background. Use task manager to check

5) Place your downloaded firmware .tar or .md5 file into the PDA section in Odin. Make sure re-partition is not selected. Auto reboot and reset time should be selected by default.

The stock rom link says

If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.

If it has multiple .tar archive then:

The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package

.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package

.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package

If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy294:
thx

yea it didnt mention about the other 3 packages in that post

but i think as long as i flashed the stock one, i should be fine and dont need to care the others right?
