I personally don't want any art or flag on my Note.

Sure it does look nice but I'm old fashioned and like simple things.

Besides I have protective cover on the back of my Note so it wont be seen if I went and got one.

One question though. Is Samsung charging extra for a Note with an Olympic back cover?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
I just use Skins, Bought my Note used and it was White. Hated it and don;t use cases so I went to Decalrus.com and bought a skin and it looks great and as well will keep the back and bezel scratch free.....although my screen has a few pretty nasty scratches... oh well.

[Android Apps and Games] v12xke:
I just started receiving this error on my GSM Samsung GNex when attempting to update the hosts file. "Hit Fatal Error, this copy of Adfree is too old." In searching older xda threads, a workaround was found back then by setting the device's date back to 2010. Tried this method and now AF updates normally. Set back to 2012... broken again. Mid last year, a fix was released by the developers and the problem seemed to be addressed. Although this phone is only a week old (and the app), I uninstalled and re-installed via Market. Thought it might be related to su, but no issues with other programs requiring root, ie. TB, RE, etc. Is this likely a problem with my configuration, or the app? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tomantoman:
I got the same problem which is started from 20May2012.
[Android Apps and Games] Listy2021:
Use Adaway instead, it's a better app anyway :D
[Android Apps and Games] v12xke:
I'll give Adaway a whirl. Thanks for the tip.
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Same problem with adfree so i installed adaway. Looks good, thank you for the tip.
[Android Apps and Games] -DarkKnight-:
same

same problem wtf?

now i have ads on angry birds wtf
[Android Apps and Games] croq:
Tried ada too, because adfree doesn't work for me either.

Works nice no ads.

Thanx!
[Android Apps and Games] inconnu29:

Is this kernel related?

2 days ago I've made a kernel update.

Now i use ad away it is much better

Same Error

I am switching to AdAway which is much better and a slightly smaller hosts file is used - 737K which is better than 950K. Here is a market link:

[Android Apps and Games] dragon-son:
I'm having the same issue with my G2 and my G2X phones. Installed AdAway on the G2X for now since I just put new ROM on it last night and needed ads gone.

After the new update all is working again.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
The ad blocking lists in rom toolbox are not updated as regularly as the ones in adaway...something to consider...I still use it for it's other features but also run adaway.
[Android Apps and Games] ikslawlok:
Update

There is an update today.

And after, Addfree works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] njmsmith:
I switch to AdAway a couple weeks back. I think its better. It lists which hosts files it uses and allows you to add your own hosts file. AdFree is anyone's guess what source it uses for its hosts file.
[Android Apps and Games] maxhpm:
Same problem. :crying:

Trying adaway...
[Android Apps and Games] dog77k:
Figured it out...There is a new version of Adfree with a new market link. You have to uninstall v.0.8.44 and install this one (v.0.8.45). Don't know why this was done, but it works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] colloque:
I got it to work by doing the following:

1. Go to settings and change your year to 2009

2. Open the app and boot normally

3. It should work now

4. After updated the host file, change the year back to 2012!

:D

What are your thoughts when comparing our ace with various mid-range Xperia phones? Mainly the Xperia Pro, Xperia Neo, Xperia Ray and the live with walkman.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LewisGauss:
Of course Xperia are better!

Already set on my mind, get a Xperia smartphone next time...

Sent from my WAREZ impulses.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfzhi:
its not fair comparing them, because ace uses armv6 while those xperias got armv7.

when its first announce ace was better choice among low-mid end device at that time.

but now not anymore after a year and a half, its getting old.

and answering your question, yes those xperias definitely better than ace.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jleonnn:
Ok then thanks for your replies. Imo the difference in the processors isn't an unfair variable in the comparison but rather a point to compare :P Plus Xperias come with a rocking UI compared to TW so yeah aiming for Xperia once I get rid of my ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My brothers got the xperia ray and the only bad thing is the screen seems really thin.

The xperia's will be better because there newer. In 1 year's time there will phones better than them (in that price range ;))
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prateek_gemini:
ya xperias are good in specifications ... but few things i miss from my ace :

i feel its touchscreen is better than mini/pro , lww.....

its camera is rocking ... way bettter than xperia... ( except for video ofcourse)....

and they say its 720p but quality is not really 720p......
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenom Phoenix:
720p is a video resolution, it can has the worst quality ever, but still is 720p (720p = 720 rows, generally is a 1280x720 resolution; p stands for progressive scan)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdfzhi:
its common misconception of all that bigger resolution=better.

what does matter and most important is camera sensor.

u can have 18mp but wilh crappy sensor it will just produce crappy quality.

my ace 5mp and live with walkman 5mp still looks stupid compared to my previous nokia n78 3.15mp with carl zeiss optics.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman:
GOD LENSE
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenom Phoenix:
for video isn't a sensor issues, mid-range phones barely have enought cpu/gpu power to decode an avc video, encode ones requires almost three times more resources (an 1hr 1080p is played realtime with an p4@3000, it takes 2 days to encode it), so quality is affected by the encoder limited and marked by speed/resource.

for photo, ace has one of the best cameras, in comparison to many Nokia, and, imho, superior even to the blazoned chambers of ipad 3 and iphone 4 too (too many noise and fake details even compared to 5D mark II)

Really dude? We're on XDA, anyone here wouldnt care less about the stock interface when buying a phone, it's customizable!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petoch:
Xxx

I thing samsung is better ,because xperia has bad software
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
I think that every kind of customization if done bad makes phones slow and sometimes crap (look at how Touchwiz affect performance on the Galaxy S4). Touchwiz is insanely slow without being nothin special. Best optimized and functional interface on Android is Sense. About Xperia rom is like a Touchwiz theme with some changes and A LOT more bloatware and junk than Samsung's one (Xperia U is slower than Galaxy Ace because of the so many useless app running in background made by Sony). That's my opinion.

[Blade General] prbassplayer:
Moved to General.

Cheers
[Blade General] karthiknr:
I'm pretty sure RAM cannot be unlocked on Chinese Blades like the Idea Blade. So my answer is No. If you have a European blade like the Orange SanFrancisco or the Dell xcd35,then RAM can be unlocked to 512MB from 256MB.
[Blade General] MrKiller2010:
Then how do you unlock those extra RAM? and how do you check your RAM?

I heard that you need to do it with tpt....
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Dunno how to unlock but Elixir can give u all device info
[Blade General] karthiknr:
If you have a European Blade with 256MB RAM,Gen2TPT should be able to unlock I guess. Try finding more info in the TPT thread. I will also look for info and update the sticky guide as well.
[Blade General] wbaw:
there is no extra ram in idea blades, 256mb is all you get, you bought the wrong version.
[Acer Iconia A500] ray1234:
To all with SOD problems, you can try Wake my Android Pro from Play Store, it's free. I set it to :

i) test activity

ii) auto startup

iii) Stop Activity (Disable Invisible Wake)

I don't have any SOD for over a week now. Previously I've tried all 3.2 and ICS roms, be it stock or custom, it all has SOD problem on my A500. I'm so desperate that I even tried Wakelock from Play Store - it indeed worked getting rid of the SOD, because it keeps the CPU on all the time. The cons is the battery life is bad, even putting the tablet aside for 12 hrs used up 20% of battery.

Now I'm on Wake my Android Pro, the battery drain is only minimal. 12 hrs of standby used up a few % of battery only, it's worth it as otherwise once it goes to SOD, the battery drain is terrible on my A500, a few hours of SOD can drain up over 10% of battery.

To all those that can't get rid of SOD no matter what, give this program a try.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
SOD still around? I got rid of the 500 during first month of launch mainly due to the weak Prime like wifi, but this was the other reason.

A510 is a pleasant and profound improvement from the 500.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Thanks will give it a try. I used to have no sod, but now can't get rid of it. On ics and new bootloader.

Running it now, see how it does. Thanks

Ran it with same settings except, "test activity", could not find that.

Got sod

Ran with defult settings and got sod

I just got a junk tab :)

Just found test activity, giving that a try, got my eyes crossed.

That did not work either, back to sod.

Tried other settings and still sod. Just a tab with odd ball hardware.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Your problems are caused by a conflict with the kernel and bootloader

The best way to fix your problems is to roll back to HC this is what I did....

Civ has a nvflash package you can use

Once I got back to HC i backed up and grabbed my HC CPUID (again)

Checked ARI for bootloader and recovery versions 3.01 and cwm 1.3.4 sweet

checked my build settings and i was now running acer_7.006_Av041_031_ww blah blah blah.....OMG I got a frankenstein....I tried hard reset but ended up flashing one of the acer official stock ics roms - running apxtool to patch the BL-wiped everything then factory resetted, just for good measure...

I'm amazed how well its all running- things look fantastic- and its zippy too!!! so i'm a happy camper once again....
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Sounds really interesting to try. So what bootloader and kernal are you running now.
[Acer Iconia A500] Reyke:
bit of a noob

I hate to sound like a complete noob but is there a fairly fool proof DIY that I can go by to revert my tab back to the original stock from and then allow Acer to update my tablet and see if it clears the conflicts with the boot loader?

Last night I went a little down the rabbit hole trying to figure out how to convert back to honeycomb but I have to say I'm a bit lost I downloaded a bunch of stuff from blackthunders website along with the a500 manager but I'm still a bit lost and plus the acronyms are a steep curve to catch up on
[Acer Iconia A500] rikponne:
Have a look at what I just posted Iconia A500 Q&A section:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26490400&postcount=14

This may be useful info to deal with your SoD problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
yep there is - you want jazzyjames rollback guide using timmyDeansV4 - 3.2.1 Gen2 that gives you SuperUser Root and cwm, custom recovery.

Some will say you dont have to unroot and flashing a stock rom will restore stock recovery , but I've never had much luck with this method

and sometimes the OTA will fail to install for any itsy bitsy reason!

So I just like to keep it clean, clean and I do it this way:)

So to Unroot and Get Stock Recovery -

Make sure you install Acer Recovery Installer and install the stock recovery with

this. And do this now before you unroot with Iconia Root..... you'll find apks for

both of these on these forums so just do a search......

With a reboot you should be all good for the OTA

Reboot...

Check system update and fingers crossed - click ok to download:):):)

Wait for it to do its thing....

bt's tools will come in handy when you head back to ICS and as Plan B if this way doesnt do the job!!!

Yeh can be info overload here at times, its all good you"ll get there m8:)

Texas Instruments WL1283 for BT/WiFi/FM combo chip.

TI chips are rare now. They didn't sell well and TI has left/or is mostly leaving the mobile business.

I think... hard to tell with company statements sometimes, especially when they've been suffering and aren't quite sure themselves. Their exit may be more with TI OMAP SOCs for mobile, but OMAP is still out there.

[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Open the zip file, if it contains few folders and a boot.img , then you should flash it from recovery not the bootloader.

And if it contains some files with img extensions then you should flash it through bootloader.

Update:

YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.

Original:

I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.

I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/

They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.

I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?
[HTC One X] TommUK:
Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.
[HTC One X] GriffinSauce:
If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!
[HTC One X] tali3sin:
Hah, I totally should have just done that myself. Thanks though.

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!
[HTC One X] GriffinSauce:
Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.

But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.
[HTC One X] tali3sin:
That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!

For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.

I'm pleased to announce that they fit.

First shots below.

I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.

I accidentally dropped my Wildfire from about 2 meters of height!!!

While it was falling I was like:

But then, when I saw it lying screen faced down on the floor.... I was terrified, couldn't even look, had a feeling like somebody hit me with a sledge hammer in the back of my head, like somebody was drilling a hole inside my stomach... (all that happened in 2 secs).

And when I finally had the courage to pick it up (I was expecting the worst, broken screen, as it fell onto concrete), I was shocked, but in a good way. No new scratches at all!

HTC Wildfire has slipping design. I use to miss my wild fire all the time..
