[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Never_OutGunned:
Not physically, Generally mobile devices like phones and tablets have SoC (system on chip). Everything is built into one chip, including CPU, GPU, RAM etc. It is possible, however it is not cost efficient nor is it a do-yourself job ;) Other possibility is diverting some of the RAM used by the GPU to be used for some app. This is a kernel thing. For example: if You use a 3D heavy app => the kernel dedicates 256MB to the GPU and 512MB to the CPU; if You don't use the GPU much, the kernel would dedicate lets say 64MB to the GPU (more than enough for smooth internet, but not with videos browsing) and 704MB to the CPU and system. I know it is possible, but haven't seen anyone do it so far.

PS btw why the hell would You need more RAM than the DHD has? Currently there are no more than 5 devices with more RAM.

Thanks a lot

there is not a an important reason to extend my ram.but i thought it's good if is possible

My contract is up on May 15th, and now Verizon is charging $30 bucks to upgrade!! WTF??? I'm looking to change to ATT (HTC ONE X) or prepaid as I am not going to give these fookers anymore money. I'm so tired of corporate greed. They say this because it is to "provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect." ???? Really? whenever I go into my local verizon store, they ask me about new phones and my newest roms. I'm so pissed right now at them.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
As far as I can remember Verizon has always charged a 30 dollar fee..... they waived my last upgrade fee though because the lady messed up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
Just read an article that said this is a new fee and starts on April 22. Apparently, in addition to data limits, this is a new fact of life. Sad. Might be time to shop around again though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
If only they knew how right they are with the "provide customers with a level of service and support they have come to expect from Verizon"... Over the years big red has become so greedy, I actually do expect a level of fees and charges that make absolutely no sense. I think the $30 this time might be for the Vaseline... Lol.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
Yeah man the least they can do is spit on it before they bend you over. What about best buy or amazon do will they incorporate the $30 fee?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
is there a prepaid service in PA that anyone uses and has had good luck with? I have a t-mobile phone and the DINC2, so not sure if I can use either one with a prepaid service.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
this fee is new and starting april 22nd. Maybe your thinking of the early upgrade fee?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Hmm... I may start looking around next time my contract is up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I don't what the fee was but they were going to charge me $30 when I upgraded. She waived it though because somewhere along the way she messed up and almost charged me over $300 for this phone when iit was supposed to be free.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
D*mn, so much for "providing better service"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Call customer service and see if they can waive it. The Verizon stores are unable/unwilling to do anything for people. Smart phones have turned cellphones back into a "luxury" item again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
I usually have pretty good luck when calling customer service, and emailing them, but all I keep hearing from them is "blah blah blah". I emailed the director of customer service and the East Coast Regional manager, both have yet to get back to me. They keep saying how everyone else does it, they are 6 dollars cheaper, they have smartphone workshops, and it helps them with serving the customer better. The only thing they are serving is lining their pockets! I WILL go to ATT and get the ONE X, if they keep this up! My company waives the activation fee, so I don't have to pay that either. Greedy Bastards!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Guys as a few of you know I work for Verizon in sales. The $30 fee being added to upgrades is new. The other fees that you are referring to. The 30 being waived for early upgrades it's a fee that is done in stores to cover cost. alot of stores don't do this fee.

Just for reference. Verizon it's the last of the big 4 carriers to implement this upgrade fee. I don't agree with it at all but changing carriers will only led to the same thing. It is like comparing a Apple to an apple wearing a orange costume.

Still it looks like this is going to bite big red in the ass. Sales will be affected. Verizon will feel the blow financially.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I never go to the stores to do anything. I deal with customer service exclusively because it is the only way I am ever able to get anything done. I doubt ill leave Verizon anytime soon. I still have unlimited data and I intend to keep it as long as I possibly can. I may pay out the ass but nobody else offers it that's worth a crap in my area. The customer service with Verizon isn't half bad anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
I have the unlimited data as well, but as most everyone knows, we "elite" customers get throttled (often!) because they offered to grandfather our plans and we took it. When I got my phone, music and netflix streamed without a hiccup, now because I'm not a "tiered" customer, I get throttled (and labeled as an "excessive use" customer).

The point; you either get it from one end or the other, either way they're going to stick it to their customers because we all want smartphones and they know they can plug us along the way for it. Atleast here, we can work together to screw them back!

Sent from my ADR6350
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Wait, is this to upgrade at any time? Or just early upgrade?

I dont think I have been ever charged to upgrade anything, but I have been charged to activate lines in the past (30 bucks)

I know they charge early upgrade fee, which is fine to me I guess as I dont really upgrade often.

No More Free Phone Upgrades: Verizon’s $30 Fee Starts April 22nd

On April 22nd, Verizon will begin charging a $30 upgrade fee when existing customers buy a new phone on a new contract. It's the sad end of the free upgrade era.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
FYI: if you look on eBay you can find new phones for the same price as buying one on contract. I was looking at Galaxy Nexus phones a month ago and you can find the CDMA version easily for 250-300 or right now the Rezounds are going for 150-200.

Does it suck to pay $30 for an upgrade? Yeah it does but I probably wont shift to a new carrier because I'm on a loyalty plan, getting an employee discount AND have my unlimited data grandfathered. I'll deal with paying the $30 every two years.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xHoLyx:
Honestly whoever decided to implement this bs in Verizon can go fxxx and sxxx a dxxx period

Just because other carriers are doing it you don't have to follow their asses.

Verizon with slowest updates not to mention wtf bloats& ****ty 3g&4g in the area it's designated&not many phones to choose from&well i can go more but I'll stop there

One thing about the upgrade fee is that some of the other carriers are talking about not even letting people upgrade.

Hi everyone. Yeah, I know the forum rules... I'm not starting a new similar thread :)

I own a X10i(stock rom for now).. I have encountered the problem which many users faced "camera not available"..

I have tried every solution available in this forum but didn't work.. I now have decided to give it to the service center.. They are asking for 10K.. I think solving this problem won't cost that much.. :( Any of you who had similar problem got it repaired by the service center??? I just need to know how much did it cost?

Thanks in advance :)

Wipe Dalvik-cache in xRec & fix permissions

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shathru:
Tried everything that I knew of!

Yeah mate. I literally tried out everything.

-> clear dalvik cache

->fix permissions

->wipe SD

->factory reset

->dcim deletion. delete the cache in that folder..

->used a third party sw for camera

-> I may have to point out that the softwares which make use of the cam's flashlight, also didn't work, which may indicate that actually the hardware is sc**wed.

->I tried all the stock firmwares. cupcake, doughnut, eclair, now on GB.

->Tried the camera fix for doomkernel while I was on it and eventually landed on the same error.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desspil:
I encounter exactly the same worries, and i've tried all that is possible (wipe, fix permissions etc...)!

I think it's more of a hardware rather than software, but if anyone has a solution I'm interested, it will save me from sending it for repairs!

thank you
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuriJ:
Wow dude, I think it's a hardware problem then, no way to fix it yourself..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shathru:
Confused

Yeah I too think it is the hardware problem.. The question is, the service center guys are asking for 10K which I believe is too much cost for replacing it. It is highly appreciated if someone who got it repaired through the service center would tell me how much did they have to spend.. ThnX :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desspil:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
If I do not have a partition for A2SD installed, and I run an a2sd script to enable it on a ROM, and move an app to the SD, does it still get fully moved to the SD? And can someone shed a little more light on this situation, with no partition space, but moving apps 2 sd/

Also, if I move an app to an sd, but do not wipe the sd:ext partition or sd card, but wipe all data partitions, will the app + its data be there if i flash a new rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
i never wipe sd ext and all my apps are there for recovery once my new rom is up and running. As far as A2SD, i think you have to be partitioned for it to work. And the partition sdext2 must be upgraded to ext3. here is a walkthrough on how to partition your sd card... very easy this is how i did it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158993&highlight=partition+sd+card

Also if you are not using aomn_ra recovery id suggest using that instead of clockwork. some roms or kernels recommend flashing only with amon_ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moreno4xl:
Here's the Amon-RA recovery which you can still flash CWM recoveries if you choose to http://www.mediafire.com/?6eo9jo7fdazp2 you may also want to read the thread on partitioning your SD card mentioned above
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naturesretard:
Some say ext 3 deteriorates the life of your sd card because it's constantly writing. I use ext 2 and it works perfectly.

Aside from that you must have a ROM and kernel that supports a2sd as well as swap if you choose to use it. Simply flashing the a2sd script won't work if neither conditions are met
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
OOPS forgot to mention that part. Aren't most non stock roms set up for a2sd? I haven't run into one yet that wasnt. I was under the impression that it had to be upgraded to ext3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
Ok so if I move my SMS app to ext-2 or ext-3, then if I wipe it all but that, and flash a new rom, they should be there on the new rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naturesretard:
It does not have to be ext 3 to use a2sd. And some roms don't support it or they just don't have it installed

It would still be there, but the symlink won't I believe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
symlink? What is that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naturesretard:
When you move apps to the partition, which is automatic, it creates a symlink in the drawer telling the down where the app is
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRatJr:
And how does that have to do with its data?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjohanso:
Basically DT a2sd just sets up sym links from the normal place the apps folder would be to a location on your ext2/3 partition on your SD card. From the perspective of Android it just thinks the folder is in the normal location it is supposed to be then (even though under the covers the underlying Linux OS is actually reading/writing the SD card). This applies to both the apps plus there data if they store it in the normal location (some apps write their data to the normal part of the SD card in which case the data would still go there).

So, if you switch ROMs and that ROM has A2SD support, it should detect the SD-Ext partition and re-setup this sym link for you when you install the ROM and you will then have all your apps back (plus any uninstallable apps the ROM includes should go there). If your ROM doesn't support A2SD out of the box, as long as the kernel supports ext2/3 (whichever you formatted your SD card with) you should be able to flash DT a2sd after you flash the ROM and then run the a2sd script as root to set up the link to put the apps on the SD-ext partition again (I think this will preserve the apps that are there, but honestly haven't done it myself so you should make a nandroid of the SD-ext partition before doing this if you want to make sure you won't have to re-install your apps).

Hope this helps some.

You can also extract the kernel from any ftf file coz its bundled within an ftf...

If you have a ftf file, jus "OPEN it WITH" Winrar and you can see all the files in it...

Simply extract the kernel.sin file and

you have the stock kernel...
