Just to clarify something, once you're s-off, you DO NOT need to lock your bootloader when using stock ruu images, only s-on users need to do this.

I recently bought a One S and one thing that has really been bugging me is the fact that I have much les storage than advertised. It says that you get 16 GB, but the actual amount is 12.14, and

2.21 of that is internal memory so I only actually have 9.93 to store my media. Why is this? Also it says it should have 1 GB of RAM but task manager says I only have 650 MB.
[General Topics] thatdefault:
16 GB storage is partitioned and some RAM is reserved for the system and the GPU.
[General Topics] densetsu86:
First off no hdd or flash memory is ever 100% as advertise because its been formatted to run. That's why there is only 12gb instead of 16gb. And that 2gb is the space dedicated to app installs. And the remainder is for you to do with however you please. Music, videos, extra game data (like many of gameloft games where you need to dl an extra 500 MB or so) or whatever you else you want to throw on other then an app install.

When you see an app in market and you download it and install it, it goes directly to that 2gb partition. If you download an app from a third party website it first goes to the 9gb space and once it installs it, it installs on the 2gb and all you need to do is delete the original dl .apk or keep it as a back up.
[General Topics] TJBunch1228:
The above answers covered the answer so no need to reiterate but I just want to opine that you should consider yourself lucky, HTC doesn't rape you like Motorola does. On the Razr and Bionic, they are advertised as 16gb internal but only 8 is accessible to the user. They allot 4gb for apps and 4 for the OS. Bonus for them is obviously expandable memory.
[General Topics] larsibsen:
System takes the resources

On many phones the preinstalled software takes a lot of space. I would recommend to install another ROM. I always do that to get rid of the software I don't need.
[General Topics] tjamzt:
Ok. Thanks for the help. But what about the RAM? Shouldnt all of it be available?
[General Topics] Nigeldg:
As already said, some of the RAM is reserved for the system and GPU. For example my HD2 should have 576MB RAM but it only has 411/403 (depends on the ROM/Kernel I guess) because 128MB is for the GPU and the rest is used by the system. I never actually get that much free RAM (I never get more than 200MB free, and that's only on startup; normally I have around 130MB free) but at the same time it's never really been an issue.
[General Topics] tjamzt:
Ok. I just though that everything was shown together because I always have 500 MB of RAM used even with all applications closed.
[General Topics] registered99:
The phone will still reserve some RAM for itself, and that is not the best indicator of RAM that's actually in use.
[General Topics] Goose_506:
HTC One S is a gorgeous piece of hardware. To bad they didn't add sd card support...

My iPad is advertised 16 gb but its 13. Is the answers here applicable to that?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roohif:
Hi, my name is noob. I have never developed an app for a mobile platform, and it's been quite some time since I've used Java. I'm basically here to see if my app idea is viable :P

I have a Galaxy S2 (but this question applies to all Android handsets) and was wondering:

1. If the 2G receiver (which is around 900Mhz in Australia) can be hijacked to listen to analogue, non-GSM traffic. i.e. can I basically turn it into a radio?

2. If the bundled FM Radio app is restricted somehow to the normal radio band (88Mhz - 105Mhz or something in Australia). In other words, can it be used to listen to basically any frequency?

3. If I can listen to multiple frequencies at once?

I'm not developing a police radio scanner, but the requirements are roughly similar ..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Go and buy yourself a DVB-T USB dongle using the Realtek RTL2832U decoder chip, and you've got what you want for a few bucks. You may interface it to the Android using OTG. If the dongle got the E4000 tuner (recommended), you'll be able to receive 52 to 2180 MHz with a gap 1091 to 1257 MHz (take or give). You'll get around 2-3 MHz bandwidth, so you can receive all the channels within this range simultaneously.

But you'll need maths, and lots of it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wildcolor:
Hi. I bought the Galaxy Note about 3 weeks ago.

1> Since I bought it, I've noticed when I am charging the phone, I am not able to turn it on (if the phone is off before the connecting to cable - usb/power socket).

2> sometimes, when I wake up the phone by pressing the power button. The screen doesn't wake up, instead it shows a few coloured horizontal lines moving vertically and the speed seems to be randomly. This lasts for about half a second, then the screen goes to black. If I wait for a few seconds, then press the home key (middle key in the bottom), the phone wakes up......

I am quite confused about these two problem. Anyone else ever observes similar thing?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
So I got my Kindle Fire a few months ago, already rooted. I went from TWRP to a CWM-based recovery, and I've been installing ROMs ever since without any issues. I'm currently running a CM9-based ROM, and I decided to play around with the softkeys, because I was tired of the bland white look. So I found some custom softkeys and flashed the .zip. I made sure to make a Nandroid before flashing, of course.

Upon rebooting from the flash, my KF got stuck in a bootloop. No biggie, this has happened before. I shut it down and rebooted to recovery, to restore the backup. But when it boots into recovery, it automatically reflashes the softkeys zip, and then reboots into the never-ending bootloop.

So the KF isn't necessarily bricked, I just can't get into recovery without it flashing a corrupted zip. I've tried two different unbricking tools, neither had any effect on it. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linktohack:
Can you mount SD card in Recovery and delete the Zip file through your PC?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
I only wish I could. As soon as I boot into recovery, it flashed the zip, then reboots into the bootloop. I suspect this happens because I used ROM Manager to flash the zip, and recovery hasn't reset itself because the device isn't booting up all the way. So every time I try to access recovery, it performs the last action I gave it, which was to flash the zip.

I hope you aren't using Hashcode's (older) CWMR or you might be looking at a much larger problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1651413

I'm not sure what's going on with your device, but the only way I know to get the recovery to do something on start up is to create a /cache/recovery/command file. That file should be a one time use command and get deleted after use, so your report of it happening each time you boot into recovery is puzzling.

If you want to take that out of the equation, I think you should either get to a shell prompt and delete the file manually or erase the cache partition entirely. Try getting to fastboot mode, boot a copy of the TWRP image, and hopefully it won't reboot on you automatically so you can use adb shell. Alternatively, erase the cache partition entirely with fastboot. If you do the latter, you'll probably need to remake the ext4 filesystem on the cache partition. Here are some fastboot references to get you started...

Thanks for all that, but I managed to fastboot into it, and then wipe system and data. Then I rebooted to recovery and restored my backup. Never fastbooted into a device before, or done anything with adb commands, so it was a fun experience.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elviz42:
same symptoms: KF bootlooping, no recovery

Hi there,

I have a rooted/modded KF with MIUI, FFF 1.4a and TWRP.

After I gave it away to someone, who only "used it", it is now stuck in a bootloop.

I can get into fastboot via fastboot.exe and re-flashed FFF and TWRP, but no change: KF boots with the white/blue logo, I can press the powerbutton to get into recovery, but TWRP doesn´t show up. When I boot normally, it looks the same: Black screen after a few seconds.

I read about the battery issues, so I booted the KF with a fastboot command waiting to the device. The white/blue KF logo showd up and I left the device at the USB port at my PC for a complete night: no change

I tried to set another bootmode via fastboot.exe but the code doesn´t seem to make any difference.

I have a second KF which runs just fine (now with AOKP M5.1).

Is it bricked now?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mardenator:
I'm not an expert on the KF, but from what you've described, I don't think it's bricked. Have you tried fastboot wiping system and data?

Feel free to root before ota. We have a span of a week or two before ics, might as well. However, be sure to go unto the superuser preferences and update the su binary before updating.

I think the problem stems from the fact that until I got my Palm Pre I had a regular dumb phone. As I used the Pre more and more all the contacts added to the Pre were added to Google and the ones before the Pre were not.

I guess I need to find a way to export ALL my contacts to Google.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Its pretty much preference since you're the one going to be using it 24/7 :P

The black part is the silicone part and the white is the plastic part so if you like the feeling of plastic as well as the black and white panda/skeleton look then you may like it and it looks like it covers the corners which is good for accidental drops and it has a good lip on the screen as well as the camera.

I personally have the Case Mate Tough:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...:2335752011,k:case+mate+tough+skyrocket&ajr=0

Which gives good protection as well as a nice rubberlike feeling on the shell, its also a hybrid so it has silicone and polycarbonate hard shell.
