[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I thought that NVFlash was Non-Volatile Flash memory? EDIT: It comes up on our Linux machines here at work during the boot.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
the NV in nvflash stands (likely) for nvidia, NV is what they use if they need to prefix something,

one example are opengl extensions, any nvidia specific extenstion is:

gl_nv_* and the nv is removed when it become fully standardized.

It could stand for non voliatile, but that term isnt really used anymore as nv memory is rather vague now, as it could be anything from e/p/p/rom to flash memory
[Dell Streak 7] Lookin4Trouble:
Power LED?

First, are you using an original Dell charger? Most phone/tablet chargers on the market don't supply the necessary voltage/amperage to force begin-charging. If you're using a different charger, that may be your problem (battery totally dead) - I can't find a source for a 5.35v@2.0A charger, but I did find that I can charge my Streak with an iPad charger (5.0v@2.1A)

If you're using the stock charger or an iPad charger, does the Power LED turn on when you plug it in?

If it comes up solid red, you need to let it charge.

If it comes up solid orange or green, you're charged, and it may be the video cable's come loose/undone, so there's just no further indications when you power it on.

If it comes up flashing red, leave your streak plugged in and push the reset pin button. From that point, it should come up solid red (let it charge before trying to boot)

If it doesn't turn on at all, you may have a damaged charging port (VERY common issue) or a shorted motherboard (not as common but too common for my taste).

Try the above and let us know.

Yes, the NV in NVFlash stands for NVidia - NVFlash is only used for download mode flashing of boards with NVidia chipsets - for comparison, ODIN is applicable to other chipsets flashing download mode...

[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Although the specs call for a 5.35v@2.0A charger. It's a power supply and the charger is in the device for one but it never draws anywhere near 2A as I've measured it. The most it draws is around 1.2A during boot up and maybe you've noticed that the charging indicator goes OFF during boot up also. After bootup it draws around 800mA.

Some have had mixed success when using cigarette/power point automobile USB adapters. Even a 1A model "may" work if you boot up first before pugging it in. Another trick is to start with a fully charged device. Not sure what the Streak looks for to cause "more" problems than others using different models of power supplies.

There was a whole thread about this or it went OT somewhere here.
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
I finally have enough money to buy a new dual-core droid and I have a few units on my list. I already made some research on other aspects and I'm left with just another question: What is the best GPU in today's dual-cores?

Please take note that I'm not interested in quad-cores simply because I can't afford them! :p And I'm not into tablets too. Please limit the answers based on dual-cores only.

The GPUs I'm comparing are the ff:

-MALI-400

-Adreno 220

-PowerVR SGX540

As I said, I already did some research but the threads I saw are all outdated. Also, we have a lot of phones that came out last year having the above mentioned GPUs so I'm guessing we have more accurate info now.

I need help. I'm not a rich guy, I'll be buying a phone with my savings and I really want to be satisfied with the device I'll be getting 'cause I'll probably be stuck with it for the next 3 to 4 years. :)

Your help will be really appreciated! :)

*Again just a reminder, I'm only interested in the GPU performance. Nothing else.

[General Questions and Answers] icenight89:
no doubt, the powerVR SGX540, with the Adreno coming second (not a close second however lol, a far one).
[General Questions and Answers] scuzzbag87:
no!!

I say the Mali is first
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
See. That's why I was getting confused. In dual-cores, some say the MALI is the best, some say it's the Adreno 220, and some claims it's the PowerVR SGX540.

Is there any way to determine the best overall? I know they have strenghts and weaknesses but what I want is the overall best. If you can provide facts or links to support your claims that would really be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
I know it's fast. It's bigger brother, the Note, is actually on my list. But what I'm interested in is the GPU. How does MALI-400 stack up against Adreno 220 and PowerVR SGX540.

Thanks for taking time to reply though :)
[General Questions and Answers] scuzzbag87:
They did some benchmark tests and the Mali destroyed the competition. I think it was on anandtech. sorry no links but Google is ur friend

[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
Hi Dave,

Thanks for the link, but I actually came across it while I was doing my research. I got some points from it but not what entirely what I was looking for.

I also saw this one, which actually made me more confused! lol Got a lot of points from here though.

Actually, google is my best friend. :) I already tried googling for what I was looking for but I can't find the exact answer. I'm getting mixed reviews.

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it. I guess what I'm looking for is real life performance. Of course a MALI-400 on a 800x480 screen have a performance advantage over a qHD/720p screen Adreno 220/PowerVR SGX540 though you might have to sacrifice image quality.

Soooooo I came to this conclusion: All the these GPUs are good enough for running almost every, if not all, apps on the Play Store. I was actually contemplating on whether to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note (5.3"), Xperia S, LG Nitro HD, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

These phones are all dual-cores with HD screens which I consider a must for my multimedia needs/wants. I ruled out the Galaxy Nexus first because of it's 5MP camera and non-expandable capacity. Next I ruled out the Nitro HD. It's a good phone but the around 3hours of talk time is a big no-no for me (I make a lot of calls). So I got down to the Note and Xperia S.

I now choose the Xperia S! Hooray! Reason: I believe the 1.5GHZ dual-core, 1GB RAM, Adreno 220, will be good enough to run almost everything smoothly for the next one or two years. Bonus: I get a 32GB internal storage, digicam quality 12MP shooter with excellent 720p/1080p vids, marvelous HD screen (though the SuperAMOLED is luring me towards the Note), and Sony's reputation of giving out updates even to their old devices (the x10 came from Donut land and got as far as Gingerbread country).

So there it is. I'll just probably save up again once there are Apps that my Xperia S can't run! :) Thanks for the help again. :)

I followed the directions to upgrade to the FP1 debloated ROM, but have lost visual voicemail in the process. It's not on the market and I can't find anywhere to download it that has a valid link. Can anyone help me?

EDIT:

For anyone else with this problem here's how I solved:

* CWM Flash Stock ROM

* Use Titanium Backup to backup VVM and the VVM Service (Don't forget to get the service as well).

* CWM Flash the ROM you are hoping to use that didn't include VVM initially.

* Use Titanium Backup to recover VVM and VVM Service.

:) Enjoy!

Glad you found the solution, but another may be go to Tweak 2.0, download the stock APKs that DW took out, download the empty CWM file, move the VVM apk in there and then flash in CWM

How to change the boot screen?(Remove Rogers Logo) Can anybody tells me??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Grab a boot animation, place it in /system/media/ depending on the kernel you are running it will have to he named either sanim.zip or bootanimation.zip

An easy way to get flashable boot animations is to go to UOT kitchen (google it)-upload proper frameworks, choose boot animation you want, make sure you choose the option for galaxy phones that way it will be flashed in the proper spot. Also under the file settings area check on the galaxy setting for update script. Basically if you have the option for phone type choose galaxy.

You should be grandfathered in, but they will probably try to screw you out of it. Make sure that you get someone to confirm that you will keep the unlimited, and then you can make sure they honor it.

When you have unlimited data, you should definitely root your phone so that you can use it as a tethering device (for free). It's amazingly useful

On the other hand, I am on a 2GB plan, and I have never gone over, and I don't really moderate my own use. ...but I don't get to tether, either :(

[HTC One S] brademcee:
i have looked on Amazon and could not locate any cases for this phone. Does anyone know where we can find some cases to protect this phone?

By the way, i am on day 2 and loving this phone. I have the unlocked version running on AT&T in Chicago. Getting great HSPA+ coverage.

(Coming from a Galaxy Nexus)

My initial thoughts of the HTC One S

-Battery life is great.

-Prefer this screen over the Galaxy Nexus (not sure why but it just seems more vivid).

-Love Sense 4.0. (Warning) While i love pure Android, i have always been a fan of Sense

-Like the new Sense keyboard

-Finally an HTC phone with good/clear earpiece

-Phone is super light and pocketable without feeling Sammy Cheap

- Like the social integration with contacts showing native facebook (missed this on vanilla ICS with the Galaxy Nexus....sorry...can't get friends to move to Google +)

- Threaded email.....how does native ICS not include this......

- Love the notifications on lock screen (I am also a iPhone user and this is a great feature of iOS 5).

So far no real negatives but its only day 2 with the phone. So far, I am really satisfied...i guess the only thing i miss is holding down the search key to get the voice actions.

Now....just need some help on finding a form fitting case for this phone.....

Hi all,

My phone is rooted. Not a fan of the Sense 4.0 SMS/MMS app. I know I can download the default ICS 4.0.3 MMS.apk from the market.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms

When I go to install it, it says it will overwrite the existing application. Before I get reckless...

Couple questions:

- Why is there no existing mms.apk in /system/app ? I can't find it. Does HTC call it something different or...?

- How do I backup the current Sense version in case I screw this up and need to restore it?

- Is the Sense one tightly integrated into the rest of Sense? Will it break other apps, widgets...?
[HTC One X] readk:
So far I got this working.

1. installed stock ICS SMS from market

2. backed up and removed /system/app/Message+CRC_1.apk

3. rebooted phone

Haven't tested MMS nor any sense features that might bomb (I hope not)

I'll update thread if there are any problems and I need to roll this back

Hey. Just wondering if you had any update on how this worked? Everything still fine? I want to go to the ICS MMS app, cause the sense one isn't as nice.
[HTC One X] readk:
I use it daily, the SMS app works perfectly. Love this change.

The HTC SMS widgets that display your messages on your desktop may not work (don't think mine do) but this is easily remedied by just finding other widgets in the market etc. Just don't put the default HTC ones on your desktop.
[HTC One X] johnl199:
Won't uninstalling the app just automatically put stock sense app back in there?
[HTC One X] readk:
No. The stock ICS app does not play nice with the stock Sense app, you can't have them both on the phone at the same time. Its not like when you install GOSMS or something.

I had to actually delete the sense app right off the phone completely for it to work properly. Otherwise I had strange problems such as messages being sent twice.

Since I physically deleted the sense app there is no going back without re-installing the sense APK.
[HTC One X] TheIowaKid:
Did you save the stock apk? No joke one of my hesitations is the messaging app. If I can switch to stock ICS for messaging I may be ordering mine yet tonight.

Can you post a picture of the app running on your HOX?
[HTC One X] readk:
Honestly no why would i? I updated this post to be kind but I'm not building something here, this was for my own use and it works perfectly. I'd that's not what you're looking to hear, find another thread. I won't lose sleep at night.

As for backing up the original sense app, yes I did see step 2 above. I used adb for this just pull the file.

Again this works perfectly If anyone cares to try it. nothin to lose, if you don't like it just put the sense file back and reboot.

Car Audio.... is a bit complicated.

If you are using Aux input on your factory car radio,

The files are converted on your phone to music. ( a.k.a DAC)

your phone thinks music is output to headphone.. so it does not amp it as much..as the car radio wants it.

IF you want the best music quality for your car... Use line out to Aftermarket radios so DAC is done on the car...

as far as the files goes... streaming music sucks.. even at 320k mp3 music is compressed I'm back to Flac. ( and downloading them )

2. from stock, I'd like to get it rooted and flash a custom ROM and kernel. Should I flash one of the bhundven heimdall one-clicks? would you recommend the SMS kj6 or kj1? what's the difference?

If not, is there a better way to get on an updated root with CWM and kernel?
