I have a hard time trusting any flash memory sold on ebay, and it can be hard to diagnose counterfeit sd cards unless you write it to capacity and then it reads back fine. Its your call but I've heard too many stories of people getting bad cards.
[Member-Found Deals] dilfatx:
Been screwed so many times from Ebay, gave it up years ago.
[Member-Found Deals] zPacKRat:
If you have a Frys nearby they offer this card for the same price fairly of often.

I agree....but the seller claims

that the item has a unique serial number which can be verified by checking with the manufacturer and this comes in retail package so it seems genuine....

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jzmanz:
A combination that works for me - Miracle V3 ROM with the PureMotive battery mod and beta3.1 Ace Kernel. Thus far, almost 24 hours, no force closes, battery life much improved, stable at 844 oc, smartassV2 gov. Phone is not getting as heated as previously while playing any 3D game, it just feels faster and smoother...response time awaking from deep sleep is smooth, so many things seem to be functioning better.

Those who believe the improvement in battery life to be a placebo effect, I do not believe that to be the case. I could very rarely go past 6-7 hours without dropping to 10% power left. With this combination, I have gone more than 16 hours and still 40% power left to go.

I have tried so many roms and mods and they all worked really well, but most really did not improve battery life by more than a couple of hours. The battery mod really worked with the Miracle ROM (any CM7 I guess) and the beta-3 ace kernel also seems to be adding on to making the ace smooth, lag free even when underclocked to 424 max and 122 min, Smartass V2 and nook as default...in call profile 787 max 244 min.

Love and respect to all the Devs and all who mod and improve the creations...thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Peace, Love, Respect to All
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] subscope:
yeah i tried PureMotive mode with beta3.1 Ace Kernel and with vo-1 rom... And i can tell that my battery drains slowest than before ;)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jzmanz:
The app is Battery Info...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jzmanz:
Thanks...at least one more person has had a slower-draining battery. I was actually beginning to wonder if only I was seeing the positive changes or was I seeing a placebo effect. Thanks, again :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gnokix:
trying...

Thank you for sharing,

Downloading and trying, give me a couple of days to test and post my sesations as soon as possible.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jzmanz:
Great... Hope it does wonders for your ace as well...it sure has lessened the number of charges for me...

Continuing to note the extension in battery life. Go Power Master is further adding to battery life in super-saver mode. In the nine months that I have had the ace, the max battery life I ever got was 12 hours on one occasion, that too only because I was not able to use wi-fi because the wi-fi modem had issues and could not be used. Today's snapshots are decisive. With Go Power Master, one full charge has lasted 20 hours and there is still 30% of the battery to be used.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitpunch36:
So today my "volume up" just stopped working. I was listening to some music on Spotify and when i tried increasing the volume nothing happened. It started working again after a bit, but eventually it just stopped again and hasn't come back.

I assumed it was just an Android bug, since I had the same issue with my power button just yesterday, but after a while it started working again and I haven't had an issue since. So, I rebooted my phone today and it was essentially stuck in fastboot (I previously installed custom ROMs on the phone, but I've been using stock ICS for a few months now). The first time, the phone just stopped there; i couldn't move my selector using any of the buttons. It was frozen. I then took out the battery and rebooted again, this time fastboot seemed to be working, but what was strange was that my "VOLUME DOWN" was acting as a "VOLUME UP" and the "POWER" button was acting as a "VOLUME DOWN". The button that's supposed to be "VOLUME UP" did nothing, so I had no way of executing any of my selections.

After that, I took out the battery again, put back in, and plugged the phone in through USB into the computer. When I booted it, fastboot was stuck again and my phone wasn't showing up in the device manager on my computer. I then unplugged my phone, took out the battery, put it back in, and when I booted it this time, it actually booted into Android without going into fastboot.

At this point, I was just happy I got into my phone, but the volume button is still not working and I am afraid of rebooting the phone in the case that I get into the same fastboot dilemma.

TL;DR: Volume up button gave out. Thought it was an Android problem since I ran into the same issue with the power button earlier. After rebooting, the phone kept getting stuck in fastboot but eventually booted into Android for some reason but the volume up button still doesnt work.

Is there anything I should do? Is this a hardware issue? Should I send in my phone for warranty even though the bootloader is unlocked? Should I find a software solution?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeuXGod:
Seems hardware issue to me. Imo try to relock the bootloader and send it to warranty
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
I am on the Saurom 7/7.1 on my ATT Galaxy Note I717 and whenever I turn WiFi on the 4GT cuts out (at least the icon disappears from the status bar). Is it possible to have both on simultaneously? Is this only on Saurom or is it normal for any GB ROM? And, is there a fix?

I was unable to find anything in search relating to the GNote on this subject though I did see one post for a Galaxy sII but on Tmobile and there was no fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
Why would you want to waste battery on 4G when you're connected to wifi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
It'll turn on when needed, i.e. picture messages, visual voicemail. Like the other guy said, why would you want both and run your data up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nunyabiziz:
Curious what are you looking to fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
What I'm Concerned About is..

I'm a fireman and I receive text message alerts via SMS and/or I need to call Fire HQ in order to let them know that I am responding. So if I'm on WiFi, can I still do the following even though I don't see the 4G in the status bar:

1. Get SMS text messages

2. Make phone calls

3. Receive phone calls

That would be a yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
As long as you have bars of signal and not a circle with a slash you're good to go. 4g is strictly data type stuff, like picture messaging, downloading visual voicemail and googling stuffs on the inner webs. Signal bars software whether or not you'll get texts and phone calls

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Any time you enable wifi it will disable 3g or 4g it overides the system to save provider data,since using wifi dosent use your data plan...wifi is also the fastest data I believe over anything,as I understood from many techs but but quote me I could be wrong...though it is fast...

3g,4g,lte,hspa wifi. However you would like to call it. Is for DATA transfer (interent)... Voip is kinda like phone calls in laymens terms...You could technically disable data and wifi and still get phone calls.. hope it helps a little bit

[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
So I had my honeycomb rooted and had removed all the apps I didn't want/need and all was good.

Now I've updated to ICS, and re-rooted, but I'm finding that some of the bloatware is a little more entrenched than I remember. For example I can't seem to delete Zinio, or Acer Media, or Acer Registration (among others)

ES file explorer says "Uninstall not successful"

Titanium Backup says it can't find the APK file

And yet all of these apps exist in my app drawer, and all of them can be run.

Any ideas on how to purge some of these stubborn apps?
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
ICS has a freeze feature built-in that works for many system app. Go to settings-apps-all-choose your app-disable.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
That's a start, but I don't want the apps there at all, I want them gone. it was easy enough on HC...
[Acer Iconia A500] chipsharpdotcom:
I'm with you...

I would like so see these gone as well. I tried to use Titanium backup and was not able to get them removed. It said it uninstalled them but on reboot, sure enough, there they were. Right back where they started. I'm still working on finding a way around this, but I'm not sure where to go here. I pulled the .apk files out of /system/app/ thinking that it would keep them from re-installing on reboot, but they ahve returned, so they have to be stored somewhere else, it's just a matter of finding them and then doing something with them. Hopefully when I find them and remove them it doesn't cause a failure to boot or something dumb.

I'll reply here if I make any significant progress.

--Chip Sharp
[Acer Iconia A500] Rusty!:
Frozen/disabled is as good as deleted. The .apk might still be in /system/app, but it's never ran, has no data, doesn't appear in the app drawer etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
I disagree. The inability to delete them has 2 problems that I don't like

1) they still take up space for something that is completely without value.

2) it' symbolic. I paid for the device, it's mine. I should be able to do anything I like with it. Silly restrictions like this just exist for the manufacturer to thumb their nose at us and show us who is really in charge. That is unacceptable. They should not have any control over my equipment whatsoever.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rusty!:
Since they're on /system, they're not taking up any 'usable' space.
[Acer Iconia A500] AfricanTech:
Hmm, I dont see the 'disable' button...
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
While I don't agree that any space is "unusable" space, you did help point me at least a little bit in the right direction. The apps are located in /system/vendor/app, I seem to be able to write to /system, but not to /system/vendor

I wonder if there's a way to do that?
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
It only appear on system apps that are not essential, user app can simply be uninstalled.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
You understand that you do not own the OS that's installed on your tablet...right? You just own a license to use the OS that they provide for you. There's some EULA somewhere that you signed off on that allows them to stuff all the crapware they want on your copy of Android. Root the thing and install one of the aftermarket Dev copies of ICS and problem solved.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
I did root the thing, but I emphatically do NOT "understand" that I do not own the tablet and everything included on it.

EULAs are generally considered to be unenforceable, and are definitely unconscionable.

Had I wanted to let some corporation control my devices I would have bought an iPad!

It's high time we make it clear to corporations that they do NOT own anything after we give them our money and take it home. That means no locked bootloaders, no forced bloatware, no provider locks, and no retroactive feature removals.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
No one "owns" software. They can only license the use of the software. This is a copyright issue. The author of the software, or the company the author works for are the only people who "own" the software. Merely because you bought a computer does not make you the owner of the licensed software that's been installed on it. There's no vague or gray areas here. You do not own the Android OS on your tablet. I do not own mine. I do not own my copy of Windows or my copy of OSx on my other devices. We are granted a limited use license.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
If you truly believe what you said, how can you possibly advocate rooting your device? You are going against what the manufacturer wanted you to do. How dare you use your device that way?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Android's operating systems, in their pure form, are open source. The specific build that a manufacturer, such as Acer, installs on your device is licensed. It's not what a manufacturer "wants" me to do, it's what I'm legally entitled to do with what I do and do not own. Pure Android build- open source. What Acer installed- licensed.

It's really that simple.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Are you trying to tell me that it would be ILLEGAL for me to remove their bloatware?????

That's all I asked to do when you gave me a lecture on how copyright gives them the "right" to lock down anything they want.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Actually, it was this that you said

I have explained to you that they own the operating system on your tablet. They have the right to place any and all controls on how that operating system is locked, protected, etc. It IS your equipment. That is the hardware. It is NOT your operating system. That is the software.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
I have not talked about breaking copyright law in any way, shape, or form. I have simply asked to have control of what my purchased device does.

You on the other hand have indicated that doing anything outside of what the manufacturer intended is something they should be allowed full control to stop. I don't agree. Your vision would have them deny us root, lock the devices down until they are no more useful than your TV.

There is no difference in software or hardware once the device is in my hands. I can modify either one as long as I don't redistribute it (the former breaches copyright, the later breaches patent and trademark laws)

Copyright law is there to stop you from COPYING, it was never intended to control how you USE a specific work. The law where I live at the moment explicitly grants me the permission to modify it in any way that I want as long as I don't REDISTRIBUTE it. EULAs are unenforceable, and unconscionable.

I will USE my tablet in any way I see fit. And that includes doing anything I can to remove bloatware.

You on the other hand should quit being such a hypocrite, if you think that manufacturers should be allowed to dictate how you use their product (despite the law not giving them any such power) then you should unroot and return your tablet to stock immediately.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
As suggested before, if you're unhappy with what is installed on your device, simply root it and install one of the many ROMs available here and elsewhere.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
And as stated before, I DID root it, and as for installing a new ROM, that's entirely my decision.

And from the legal stand point (which you brought up by the way) what I am asking about by changing what's in my existing install, is the right way to go.

Plus, when has xda-developers ever been about NOT modifying the software of your device?

In short, quit telling me what NOT to do, if you don't want to help me with my stated question you're free to not respond to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
lol
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
Are you certain you are fully rooted? As a test I found I was fully able rename or delete apks in /system/vendor/app using Root Explorer. --Larry
[Acer Iconia A500] diiorio:
Freeze works. Later when the system checks and see's you ahve not used them, it will compress the Apk's (part of ICS). Later when you want to unfreeze it will take a tad logner to reintialize.

I know the feeling when you want wasted crap gone for free space.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Now that's interesting... I didn't know there were any different levels of rooted, I thought you either were, or you weren't...

I found that ES File Explorer (in rooted mode) was not able to delete those, though root only apps do run, including such things as Set DNS and such, I've also been able to uninstall some of the bloatware apps, just not the ones in the vendor/app directory.

When I drop to a terminal I am able to SU, but when I try to delete from that folder I'm told it's a read only file system... now I need to figure out how to re-mount it R/W
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
The folder does come up Read Only, but RE has a Read/Write option. I am sure FE does also.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
FE Does have such an option, and it's enabled. It lets me modify /system but not the vendor/app. Maybe FE isn't as great as I thought.... I'll have to try something else like RE it seems

Ok, after further checking it appears that the vendor sub-directory is on a different device from the system directory, ... that explains a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
So far the ICS Disable function is working great for me. Cleans up the running apps list and has knocked back the size of my app drawer so now most of what I see in are apps I actually want to use.
[Acer Iconia A500] ve6rah:
Success!

thank you to those who fed me little tidbits.

Turns out that /system/vendor is on it's own partition on the internal storage. so once I discovered that I remounted that partition rw and got rid of the apps.

And this is why I won't buy a device that doesn't have a way of getting root!
[Acer Iconia A500] OldGaf:
lol.... LOL ????

That's it.... you have gone TOO FAR! :p

But anyway... even a ROM that is based on a leak or legit release could be considered questionable.

The only true way to OWN the OS is to completely roll your own... drivers and all.

But at the end of the day, as long as you are not trying to sell it.... who really cares?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] topgun303:
Do we have any development for rom's for thinkpad tablet?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] BuddaBelly:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dimension2035:
I never use the Stock music player. Use Power Amp from the market place. You can increase the base and treble for amazing sound quality. It's a 1 or 2 week trial after that you'll have to buy it. I Highly recommend getting Power Amp.
