Hi,

I have recently purchased a new NEXTBOOK Premium 8 it doesn't give me the option to set a static ip on this device.

On all other devices that are running ics the option in modify network displays show advanced options but on this nextbook you don't have those options.

Could someone tell me whether I need to root this device to get this functionality?

or if there is another way around this issue.

many thanks

timothyshrimp:)

Hello, I am coming from using the HTC Tilt 2. I used the program PPCPimBackup to back up my contacts. Can I use that on this HTC One X phone to restore my contacts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
I used to have a Tilt 2 also and remember PPCPimBackup, that was a life saver sometimes :D

I don't think they have that in android, but you can use the Microsoft Mobile Device Manager to back up your contacts to Outlook. At least I think you can. You'll probably have to go that route since PPCPimBackup is made for winmo.

I just got a new android 4.0 tan (Eken T01A) and within 8 hours of using it I am getting strange text in the top right corner of the screen. The text appears to list running processes but is always changing. I plugged the tab into my computer and the text appeared then and won't go away. I unfortunately do not have a backup and paid extra to get this tab pre modified so I don't want to go back to original firmware unless it is my only option. I am wondering if there is any way to reset whatever caused this to happen. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] rt2012:
Hi. I'm not an expert but I think I know what that is. Please go to Settings then please go to Developer options. I think you will see Show CPU usage checked. If it is checked, please uncheck it. That should fix your issue.

If that works for you, can you do me a favor in return? Can you please give me copies of your Phone.apk and Telephonyprovider.apk from /system/app? I stupidly deleted mine when I thought that they were draining my battery unnecessarily. Turns out they're needed to run 3G. Thank you.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
I'd like to keep bluetooth on in my car for taking calls, but the phone seems to automatically output audio through that as well, even if a 3.5mm cable is connected. I searched through the settings to no avail. Is it possible to use BT strictly for calls while still outputting music through aux? I mostly listen through Pandora, and I'm on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
I forgot about this post, but it looks like it didn't get any replies. Bump!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Bump :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSeeK:
Solution

Yes, it is possible, while connected to your car,

go to settings, Wireless & networks, Bluetooth settings,

search for your car's Bluetooth name and long press it, this should show you a "pop up" window,

click on "Options...", there you have something called Profiles which allow you to control the behavior of that particular Bluetooth device,

You should have 2 boxes ticked, Phone and Media,

tick media off and your device will only work for calls!

Hope it helps! ;)

Best Regards,

P.S: If your phone connects via Bluetooth to your car and streams music, than I must assume your car supports A2DP, in which case, you will gain nothing of audio quality for using the aux input... just saying. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Oh man, thanks so much. I can't believe it took this long to get this straightforward of an answer. I'll have to try it out today.

As far as the audio quality goes, I feel like there's a subjective difference; some sort of flakiness or bits of static when going through BT. But maybe it's just a placebo effect; I'll do some more trials.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSeeK:
You are most welcome!

Come give feedback later so that other can benefit from your doubt! ;)

Well, it's not impossible.. You could have a low quality Bluetooth receiver but since it is built in with your car it seems unlikely.. either way, what matters is you get your solution and your peace of mind! (I know how I get when something like this happens and I can't figure out a solution! xD)

Don't forget to post back.

Best Regards,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Yep, works flawlessly. I haven't done enough testing to see whether my car sees audio differences between aux and BT, but I'm at least able to use aux separately if I find a difference.

Anyone know if this phone works with any sim card that fits in the slot or do I need something specific. Like cclould I just stick a boost card into it and have it activated or do I need to do anything else to it?

i'm very sorry for the noob post, folks. but i am a complete virgin when it comes to anything android related, especially rooting. the info i'm looking for is likely posed already, but honestly, i dont even know where to look.

that said, i just got a Kindle Fire and I want to root it.

i downloaded KFU and when i click on the drivers install file i get this message:

"' and' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. the syntax of the command is incorrect."

after that i get a screen indicating "Google,Inc. (WinUSB)..." followed by "Install Failed (unsigned)"

what the heck does any of that mean and how do i fix it??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beankid:
Does Android use a built-in EQ or limiter on their Bluetooth stack? I am running into a situation where both of my android phones, One X and Nexus One, have developed a "clipping" noise when I listen to music through the Bluetooth in my car. This same clipping doesn't happen when I listen to podcasts, only music. My assumption is that something in the framework is clipping the audio saying that it is too loud and causing this to happen. Can anyone shed some light on this matter, or help me dissect the problem?

I have also used the same Bluetooth setup my WP7 phone, an HTC Titan, and I do not hear this same noise at all. I have only heard this through my android phones which leaves me to believe that it is something based in OS level and not the Bluetooth set up itself.

Guys this stuff is the real deal.. I have reviewed many screen protectors in the last 10 years.. This stuff is amazing..

hey thats awesome where did you get it done?:)
[HTC One X] mobilitytoday:
I did it. Takes 10 seconds. Cures overnight. Love it.

I have bought it from amazon.co.uk. £90
[HTC One X] SladeNoctis:
Well there's multiple reviews but each person did there own test. Some put a good amount of application which protects the phone while others put hardly. There's one video that shows that even if the phone gets scratched you can wipe/buff it away.

[HTC One X] tastydude2:
This LIQUID-ARMOR work only on glass screen... Larry did it on plastic dummy phone, it will not work... It is not a fair comparison....

This stuff is crazy, the manufacture show this at Macworld in SF, it was one of the hot product show there.
[HTC One X] slackercow:
i'm very interested in this stuff. i generally don't use screen protectors, they're more of a nuisance to me than anything else. this looks like a decent compromise.

has anyone else used the stuff?
[HTC One X] mobilitytoday:
Slade you are 100% correct.. They just need the exposure.. I have it on my phone and my wife's phone. Works amazing.. I seriously don't understand how well it handles..

The reviews on Youtube are not using glass screen like others said..
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
To be honest all these reviews are useless. No offence. Steel does not scratch glass. If you really want to test it, get some sand! Or sandpaper then see the results....
[HTC One X] mobilitytoday:
@nikz LMFAO.. GO take a steak knife to your One X and video it.. Tell me if you feel good doing it.

What a ridiculous response... Until you do that please don't post things that mean nothing.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Let me rephrase that most metals won't scratch glass, everyday metals that we'd commonly have in our pockets.

Things like sand that can get into pockets can scratch screens, so to determine if this product works they should test it with sand. Now if they did then we'd all get a good idea how useful it is.

And I don't eat steak so sorry can't test!
[HTC One X] MemphisLeak:
Yes indeed. Gorilla glass is already 7.0+ on the mohs hardness scale and won't be scratched by most metals especially brass that most keys use. High quality hardened steel would probably scratch it though. Ceramics, sand (quartz) also.
[HTC One X] SladeNoctis:
While that's true, Gorilla Glass does't have a 100% accurate strength, some phones with GG can survive daily active, while others have suffered with some serious scratches just by keys or coins. So yea its true GG is strong but its not always strong on everybody's phones.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
I think this works, so long as you get a good amount of solution. At least from what I've seen on videos. Worst comes worst, the solution hardens and works but scratches but it scratches the solution which buffs off.

Best thing is one time fee and its universal.

Keep in mind, you need a factory reset+Dalvik wipe before installing. You can restore your Apps and setting by using Advance restore->Select "your latest backup"->select "data". Don't forget installing Gapps.

Try clearing your cache, I use App Cache Cleaner, it is free on the Play Store. If the video in question is a streaming video from the internet, while in the Play Store find Adobe Flash Player and make sure it is installed. If you have a custom Recovery you can clear your delvik cache as well.

Sorry but the only other advice I can give you is to do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. But remember to back up as much as you can, although because you are on complete stock you are somewhat limited to how much you can back up.
