[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyren84:
Hello,

in a video about Desire HD disassembly, they call that cable "Bluetooth coaxial cable". You may check for proper Bluetooth connection and reception.

If you want to verify, try youtube search for "HTC Desire HD Disassembly Video", it's around 4:35 where they disconnect it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eshi:
I watched the video, thanks for that. But my bluetooth is working properly as well.

I've tested the following and it works:

Led light

Proximity sensor

Speaker(s)/microphone

GPS

Bluetooth

Torch

Auto-rotate

WI-Fi / Data

Antenna for radio/mobile ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eshi:
I guess that is the problem. I get strange noises when I try to listen to the radio. But i'm not sure because I use a ICS ROM. Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoxyK:
Personally, I don't think that it's the radio antenna.

I heard that the phone does not have a radio antenna.

I heard that the head phone cables are used as UHF radio antenna.

I also don't think that it's some kind of power cables as the connector is a coaxial connector, so it's definitely some kind of radio signal cable.

Bluetooth sounds reasonable...

Did you already check the signal strength of your Bluetooth connection? Or maybe the signal strength of your wifi connection?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eshi:
Thanks for you effort. Bluetooth and Wifi are working very well, I don't experience any problems with that. I don't experience any problems at all, I'm only curious what the function of that cable is because everything is working properly without that cable.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jab5555:
coaxial cable

one cable is for the gps and the other is the blutooth, white and black, it tells you in the video by htc, its not the gps cable as mine is broken and it stopped the gps working altogether
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAhlefeld:
Bluetooth coaxial cable according te all videos i can find on the subject.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imonol:
It is the cable for the bluetooth antenna, mayby your bluetooth have reduced range?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootntootn:
That video is made by or for the HTC company itself and I doubt they would call it by the wrong name-tho stranger things have happened. I believe bluetooth is what it is, and as someone suggested-It may purely be the strength of signal that gets afftected not the function itself,

i just purchased a set of QCell slim extra batteries, along with their universal battery charger (http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung-1800mAh-Universal-compatible/dp/B006SK5KDS).

Is there any reason why I shouldn't charge my original Samsung battery in the same charger?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mischaseb:
Not a bad find but i'd rather spend 10$ extra for a genuine sandisk 64gb one... i've had so many usb drives die on me and its quite annoying, i only ever buy name brand ones now.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
This is true, unfortunately I have experienced this too with my Sandisk Cruzer.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] proud_whovian:
Transcend is a decent name brand at least I think it is. I have memory cards and a flash drive from them that I have had for years that have had no problems
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I find transcend to be a really reliable brand as well, never had problems. That is so much cheaper than over here in the UK you chaps are lucky. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
Yea. Also when your getting into that size of drive, you'd also want to make sure it is a [REAL] USB3 device with USB3 transfer rates.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I thought the Nexus 7 only did USB2. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Eagle1337:
What's the point? The nexus only has a usb 2.0 port..

I picked up a Patriot Flex 32gb for 19.99 on sale a bit ago, turns out it's made by kingston.

clockcycle, Usb 3.0 has been Referred to as USB3 since when it launched which has caused some confusion but none the less USB3 is here to stay.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clockcycle:
You mean USB 3.0? I don't have any devices with USB 3.0 compatibility, not even my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] DanielNTX:
Well real USB 3.0 flash devices perform faster in a USB 2.0 port. This is because they use a faster flash memory controller and the data transfer rates are generally higher even compared to their 2.0 counterparts. I see the difference when using Windows 8 To Go on a USB 3.0 stick vs 2.0.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Randomacts:
A usb 3 flash drive won't plug into a usb 2 port.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] pokey9000:
ORLY?

"Of course, Flash Voyager USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Even if you haven't yet upgraded your PC to USB 3.0, it's still a great choice for convenient, reliable portable file management, and the additional performance will be ready when your PC is."
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kenyee:

Bought a cheapy super talent USB 3.0 stick and even in a USB 2.0 port, it goes as fast as the fastest 2.0 usb sticks at the time...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mkvarner:
Charging my Samsung Galaxy S3 in a USB 3 port atm.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] E_man5112:
Yes it will. A USB 3 key has 9 contacts, but is otherwise identical to a USB 2 key. It will fit. Not only that, they are backwards compatible electrically speaking.

Have this in the 32gb version. Works great. Also both of my USB 3 drives work just fine using a standard micro to USB adapter.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] larkable:
Hi. I don't like to be that guy who revives threads, but I need to know if anyone else had purchased the 64GB flash drive in this thread...

I purchased it without thinking it through (I saw that a member with 1.3K posts and was a relatively active member on these forums, so I figured the site was legit) and I believe I may have been scammed $30.

While it has only been 3 business days (generally enough time for something to be delivered via USPS), there have been reports of them not providing correct USPS tracking numbers. In my case, this has happened to me, and I fear that I may not be able to recover my money.

I sent them a message and I'll be waiting to see if I get a package today or Monday.

I didn't Google the supplier like I should have, which is unfortunate. I'll probably be out $30 because of this.

Thanks,

Larkable

Hi,

I have a problem with my N1. I installed a evervolv's rom with ICS. Everything is ok, but when the screen is locked, and i want to unlock, the screen stays freezed, but the sensitives keys are on. I have the same problem with the Jelly Bean rom.

I read that i have to change CPU, but still doesn't work.

Someone has a solution ?

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonikan:
I recently have been using McDonald's wifi and also Starbucks near a university I am soon attending (For a master's in IT whee!!). Since knowing about droidsheep and wifikill, I was wondering what the best methods of protecting your devices from public spying are? I found this app, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350941 but isn't there something else? Like setting up some kind of basic something that can guard against such spying?

I am also interested in knowing not only for an android device, but also for a laptop being used in a public place. Thanks for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLexi:
On a public wifi all data you do is unencrypted, the only way to protect it, is doing some encrypting yourself.

On the apps that support it you should enable SSL encrpytion, that way, only your device and the receiving service can parse whats going on.

Not all apps support this, so if you come over an app that doesnt, but is really afraid of someone taking it, you need to do some more advanced stuff, and take use of a VPN.

This applies to both laptops and phones, but ssl support is usually less used on laptops
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
Use "SSH Tunnel" app from Play Store to encrypt all of Internet traffic. You'll need just an internet server having root access or SSH access for that. There's no need of complex configuration on server at all.

All VPNs except OpenVPN have limited encryption level, but that's not the case of SSH Tunneling. When it comes to OpenVPN, its configuration is complex. And, little mistake can pose security risk. Plus, most of stock ROMs don't have OpenVPN client. Installing it is also more complex than installing SSH Tunnel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonikan:
This is great and what I had in mind- an app that secures the connection.

Though, walking into a starbucks or public wifi location where they have this kind of requisite (the server requirements)... isn't it doubtful they will have that set up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomg09:
Personally, I use OpenVPN. I would recommend using TUN, and at least 128 AES encryption. You need to have an always on internet connection somewhere. You set up a server there (dedicated computer, or buy a $40 linksys router and flash with dd-wrt or tomato vpn) and use a dynamic dns service to forward to that server's IP (such as DynDNS).

Most of that information is available on google.

You can find the OpenVPN HOWTO here:

openvpn.net/howto.html

Yes, as mentioned it is fairly complex, however worth the payoff in security in my opinion.

Hope that helps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonikan:
I appreciate the responses, but I think you're missing my point.

I'm talking about joining public wifi. Not a wifi spot where I can manage their server settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomg09:
Yes, we are as well. VPN and SSH tunneling are used primarily to encrypt traffic. You want to do that to protect your data from Man in the Middle attacks. These types of encryption do not require any sort of administrative access to the wireless access point. That's the idea. You encrypt your data on your computer and send it over unsecured wifi to a server that is hard-wired to the internet, where the traffic is decrypted and send out to the internet as normal. The return traffic will then also be encrypted until it is decrypted by your computer. I would look into these two options for securing your data on unsecured wifi networks...

Tom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonikan:
Thank you !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
Server will be your own outside public wifi. It may reside in your home. Or, you may purchase a VPS from Linode, RackSpace etc.

The concept: Your Android device will create an encrypted SSH tunnel to server at home... all over insecure wifi network. If a black hat guy traps your traffic in the middle, he will not get usable data from that because of encrypted tunnel.
[Nexus 7 General] jalyn02:
I love the Nexus 7 and in fact, I love the Nexus line of devices. Now, when we all start to compare the Nexus 7 to The New iPad as a iPad killer, it begins to look like a case of fan boyishly hatred. Please! No off topic comments...thanks!

(Edit)

Now! You might be asking why am I posting this? And here is the simple answer, because I don't want some girl or boy, man, women and child to read the none fact threads and believe there is no reason to buy a Apple device when there are great reasons to do so...
[Nexus 7 General] craighwk:
Until Apple releases their version of a 7" tablet, I think it's a bit unfair to try and compare the two, or say one is a killer of the other device. I think they target two separate markets that have plenty of room for both.

The only thing that's Killer is whatever a company does to themselves. The iPad is going to be healthy for quite a long time, I believe.
[Nexus 7 General] crachel:
Sorry, but these threads almost always end badly

Nexus 7 review - ipad killer, for me at least

[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
Compare arc S to U.... U wins by miles. It has a lot faster processor and a lot faster GPU.

Compare One V to arc S - One V wins by miles. One V has beautiful display + decent processor (it is 1ghz but in reality, it was underclocked by htc from 1.4 to 1ghz because of the casing).

Compare One V to U - Xperia U wins by miles IF you are interested only in playing games, running apps faster and you are not interested in any kind of deving, not even root.

Xperia comes with a powerful GPU, the MALI 400 - the one that you can find in Galaxy S2, and a dual core processor Cortex A9 - 1ghz - again - the same processor that comes with Galaxy S2.

So IF you want only playing games, multimedia and such... 100% go for Xperia U.

Have a nice day!
[HTC One V] UndisputedGuy:
That's a very informtive response and i thank you for it but are you sure those are the specs of the xperia U? I think you may have mixed them up with the specs of the xperia P.

Also, woudn't the arc S be superior due to it's faster processor (than the one V). You say it wins by miles but why?
[HTC One V] UndisputedGuy:
Think I may go for the one V after all. Dont think the others are worth the £80 more or so and they are somewhat past the price range. Thanks for all the help!

Is the one V due an upgrade to jellybean?

Is the One V fast and fluid?
[HTC One V] paarthdesai:
no jelly bean :(

but the developers are going to port soon ;)

and yes its fast.. when rooted.. well i dont actually remember how it was on stock :p never used it

[HTC One V] UndisputedGuy:
No jellybean confirmed? Would've thought that being a 2012 device, it might.
[HTC One V] lars1216:
Not confirmed yet no, But like you said, 2012 device, so i would assume a update will come eventually, But after One x and s, so our devs will probally have a aosp/cm Port way before htc releases a crappy sensified version (yes, i Hate sense :P)

Sony Xperia U - according to GSMARENA -

CPU	Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9

GPU	Mali-400MP

One V vs ARC S - One V wins by miles because - Better battery life - Much better display - Sweet camera chip processor - Processor underclocked at 1.0 but it was created by qualcomm to run stock at 1.4, just like the Arc S one - Metal body casing - Android 4.0 with senseui from stock compared to gingerbread 2.3.4 that ARC comes with (not even 2.3.7 lol). And the list can go on...

I say go with One V - you will not get disappointed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superdx:
After much angst, I finally found an android bug thread which identifies the problem as some kind of feature that's not been implemented by Google called PARTIAL WAKELOCK.

The app that solves it is on on the Play store that forces WAKELOCK while the bluetooth connection is active. I can confirm it works perfectly, but I always seem to get it working at home though, so I will do more testing.

[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
Is there a way to text with Google Now through Google Voice? (If you are not familiar with Voice please don't pretend like you are) If you try to use the text command it says texting is not compatible on the device.
[Nexus 7 General] eawooten:
I would also be interested if anyone has any information on this. I remember in early ICS, it took a while to get Google Voice implemented as an option for sending text messages.
[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
I thought I was able to get my Gnex to do it with Now on JB. But, recently it just goes to the send text confirmation and never actually does anything further.
[Nexus 7 General] cushcalc:
Yes. Get the Talkatone app from Google Play, link the app to your Google Voice number as per instructions, and text or call as you like.
[Nexus 7 General] Grims:

[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
Interesting option to fall back on.. Have you tested it to see if the OS (and Now) sees it as an actual texting app? I'd still rather it be able to work with the native Voice app.

That's strange. My HTC Legend could distinguish between the stock app and Google Voice when using Voice Actions. It's strange that it wouldn't work now. :(

[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
It seems more like the N7 version of Now simply doesn't allow texting because it doesn't think it can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nim6us:
EDIT: Please read this entire thread, there's some good info. Every phone and every situation is different, however it turns out my battery drain was the result of my phone not hitting "Deep Sleep". The culprit was my SD card, if you're experiencing battery drain after upgrading to ICS try removing your SD card and restarting your phone, use the app CPU SPY to verify your phone is now hitting "Deep Sleep". Again please read on, amidst some trolls there is more detailed information. :D

SIDENOTE: This being my first thread I have to say on the whole I really like this community!

I never thought I'd be that guy saying don't upgrade to ICS, because the OS is so slick and fun. However the glitch with the battery drain nullifies it's value. My brand new phone, less than two months old will die before the end of the day without me making a single phone call. I'm talking maybe an 1 to 1.5 hours of use texting, checking mail, surfing, and my battery now runs dead before I even get home from work. If you go into Settings > Battery it will show you the break down of what's using what. At the top should be your display, it takes a lot of power for to run the ultra bright display and this is what I saw before the ICS update. After the update these are the numbers:

Android OS: 58%

Screen: 18%

Cell Standby: 10%

Phone Idle: 7%

Android System: 2%

The OS is taking 58% of the battery?!? This is crazy!The buzz going around the net is if you do a factory reset it will fix the issue, well it does, but only for a very short time.

I went through the pain and formatted my SD card, then did a factory reset on my phone lost everything, well I backed it up, but still was a long process. After all that I loaded up my apps, and everything looked great. If you I went into the battery break down Screen was back at the top and the Android OS was several rungs below. I was SO happy! It was worth it after all.... THEN

Imagine my chagrin I woke up this morning to a full charge. Didn't make one phone call, just checked a couple emails, and being only a HOUR into my day my battery is at 76%!! I look back at the battery break down, and there's Android OS sitting at the top, draining double the battery juice as the screen display. I mean this almost makes ICS useless, what good is this great cell phone if you have to be tethered to a power cord. WTF!! Point being, don't bother resetting your phone, it DOES NOT permanently help. If you haven't upgraded to ICS don't, we're all just screwed until they come out with a fix, and you see how long it took them just to get ICS.

I don't know what happened between last night and today, but my hope is some dev person will read this and it will help them pinpoint the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Did you backup and restore your app data as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nim6us:
Nope, the only thing I backed up was pics, music, and video, and I combed through those folders to make sure there were no sys files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theheathen:
It sounds more like your battery is going bad. You can go to Sprint store and they will test your battery for you.

You might also want to get a battery monitoring program and see what is using the battery up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
its not a ics glitch its your phone lol.. ive never had this issue.. plus with the source kernels coming out and with roms/tweaks already out youcan increase battery life yourself.. because your battey cant keep a charge you bash ics? go back to gingerbread then lol. i can use my phone for two hours and leave it off charger over night and still have at least 50% charge
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dr_gibberish:
Having a bad battery would not make Android OS use the majority of his power though. I have had this problem myself in the past and never did figure out exactly what stopped it. Running Blue Kuban now and my battery life, though never great, is reasonable. FYI, I also run Juice Defender which makes a substantial difference for me.
