[HTC One X] Guybrush.d:
Hi guys,

long time as passed since my approach to xda with my trinity....:o

Ok now once more i need your help, since one week i own an awesome

HOX i leaved my "old" Galaxy S2 and moved back to HTC and i feel the difference...:D

I'm trying to get back some old games i owned on galaxy, of course, not all of them works

on HOX but trying some different apk i noticed a different behaviour, so i would like to know

if i could install chainfire and load the respective plugins for each game. What i meant is

if i own a copy of a game that works on powervr devices could i use chainfire to load that

app with the powervr plugins? I know that could be stupid owning such device with tegra 3!!!

But some game like Shadow Guardian, for example, doesn't work and gameloft doesn't seem

to support this device yet, please light my path!;)

Ciao.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
We can install chainfire....but it would end in a bootloop because we don't have s-off and we need it for it...when you had read the Google play Site of chainfire 3d it says htc only with s-off....when we get s-off we are able to use chainfire and maybe better graphics in all Games....then we have a phone which get in Games the best graphic which Is able to get xD ...

Sorry for some stupid words but Auto-correction Is sometimes stupid xD
[HTC One X] Guybrush.d:
So we just need to wait that Simeone unlock the bootloader? Well this is a good news so i can keep waitin' to play those games at the end the hox has just been released...

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
I've since opened these streaks up to check the internals, on looking everything looks intact so i think i can rule out an internal hardware fault. The internal sd cards however i removed and inserted into a windows 7 machine at which point i was asked to format, both are wanting to format at 244 mb so it seems the qdl tool has wiped them both clean. I've never seen this behaviour before running the qdl tool so i have no idea whats happened any thoughts anyone ? also what could have caused the streak to be no longer recognised after running qdl on them ?

p.s. i've been on the streaks irc channel a few times but no ones seems to be around.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
you really dont know how internal sd partition works do you?

internal sd using ext2 partition.. therefore it is not working in windows environment and thats why windows suggest to format ...

internal sd is partitioned to 2 split... 244mb and the rest...

the reason that it shows 244mb is because windows unable to recognize any partition more than 1 for anything similar to thumbdrives...

and for qdl.. sorry i cant answer because i never used it even once...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Thanks for taking the time to reply i have no idea how the internal sd card partition works but i have loaded up my linux virtual machine and can see the partitions so it seems qdl has done its work after all. So something else must be preventing it from booting up.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Im considering the JTAG route but im not convinced even that would fix them. Considering the QDL (streakflash) tool bricked them in the first place whats the chances of it working the next run ? I may end up paying for the JTAG only to find that QDL bricks them again so im wondering what to do. The problem is i have no history of these devices so it could be anything really, unless i can be certain of what caused it well its not really worth the risk is it...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
if you are using jtag route... most probably the streak could only be used as wifi tablet... no more phone function anymore... that is what being reported though...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmavik:
Think I had a kind of breakthrough here - I've been scratching my head considering sending my Streak off to one of those jtag places to get it working again. But alas! No need.

I've tried the QDL tool maybe 25 times and though it says success, I still couldn't boot or get into fastboot by any combinations of keys.

But tonight I successfully booted into the stock rom - this is how:

Make sure all your drivers are there. I used Win7 x64 so I know it can be done. Then get your hands on the QDL tool. Start the QDL.exe. Plug your bricked Streak in with the usb cable. Hold the volume up button (or whatever the button closest to the headphone jack is) until you see your Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9002 port in the QDL application. Click "Run". Let the application do its thing for a few seconds until the moment you see "DT is in fastboot mode" (I think it said) on your device with white text on an otherwise black screen. Yank your usb cable out! If you see the "Fastboot mode" you waited too long. In that case, pull your battery and start again. Then start a command window where you have your fastboot.exe and recovery.img. Mine was in C:\Fastboot. I then ran fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After a few seconds the device reported success. Then I ran fastboot reboot. I then waited maybe 20 seconds. Nothing happened. So I tried the power button. Holy fark a Dell logo! I don't know why, but it worked.

So maybe you could give this a try before jtagging your Streak and reportedly risking losing all GSM functionality. If this helped you out, make sure to thank and share your success story. Peace.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4Y5AL:
Ive been pretty much having the same issue as you. My streak was completely dead showing no signs of life, however it was being detected by QDL tool. Unfortunately before i could do anything to get the streak working, i know can no longer get the device to be detected by device manager or QDL tool. All the necessary drivers are installed as the device was previously being detected. Any idea as to what may have happened? :confused:

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
Hello, I really hate that the s3 doesn`t have usb mass storage, I saw someone saying that mtp is better than the clasic transfer but I really see no advantages.Is pretty hard to recover a file once deleted as you can`t assign a drive letter , you can`t use your phone while files are being transferred but the most annoying of all is that you can`t preview your pictures/videos before copying it, so tell me, how is mtp better than usb mass storage that was on s2?

My digital camera has mtp also and I CAN preview the pictures before copying them to my pc so this is possible, the question is how can I do this on my s3 also?Is very annoying that I have to check every picture and video as you don`t know what you are transferring.

Thank you for your potential answers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saheb117:
I don't know which one is better but if you want UMS then there is a app called easy ums that you can download if you are rooted. Just search for it in the forums.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
thanks but is useless for me, If I would knew about this inconvenient before buying I would have bought the 16 gb version with a 16 gb microsd but I dont have any microsd, I only have the 32 gb of the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
- Far less risk of disk corruption due to advanced filesystem technology (EXT4 instead of FAT32)

- Apps don't loose their data (which they often store on the /sdcard) while mounted on the computer

- Compatibility across all MTP-capable computers and electronic devices

- Conversion into supported format by host computer (ok, that one might not be a real advantage))

It's usually very hard to recover files on any SSD-drive since they usually rely on TRIM support. (FAT32 doesn't even have this capability though)

I usually use Samba fileshare which, since it's based on SMB, even allows mounting as a drive letter on Windows. (Not a REAL drive though, you can't recover deleted files)

Additionally it only requires a direct or accesspoint-based Wifi connection, not a physical cable between the computer and the phone.

Requires root though (mostly because of it using privileged ports)

Why does everyone just assume features to be present which do not have to, and then claim to rely on them?

There's something called Google. Due to performance- and security-reasons more and more devices will drop USB-mount in favor of MTP.

You can't use it on Samsung-based firmwares, which sucks. Cyanogenmod doesn't seem to have that restriction.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
The usb mass storage was such a nice feature, I couldn`t guess that they will delete it on the s3, the advantages are meaningless as I didin`t had any problem with my s2 . why my digital camera with mtp allows to preview the pictures as thumbnails the the s3 not?Is that impossible to preview the files before copying with the s3 via usb?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
i hope there is a solution to this, it's kinda bugging me as well. =(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Workaround : I always rename the pictures or videos in phone 1st before connect to PC. Is easier to recognise which files I want to transfer rather than waiting for the thumbnails. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
well...that works too :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamcakes:
Mine lets me see thumbnails for movies and pictures in MTP mode.

Maybe because I'm running CM-based instead of sammy based?

Don't use sammy crap.

Also the wireless samba filesharing mentioned earlier is fantastic, don't have to plug my phone into my pc at all now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
can you please give more details, what exactly did you changed in your phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
He's running CM, which is Cyanogenmod.

CM is a modified (enhanced) version of Google's original Android version without manufactur-specific bloatware and issues such as Touchwiz which is quite a memory-hog.

Also it usually is somewhat more stable ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
ok thanks but I think ill pass, from what i`ve read the thread seems that are many issues and bugs with it, won`t worth to gain that preview to get for it tons of bugs and crashes, seems that the only reasonable way is to buy a 16 gb microsd to use it like good old s2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
You could also download the XXALF2 kernel and flash it. That fixes MTP connection and you can stay on Sammy ROM. Tried it myself. ALF2 is the last kernel MTP ever worked for me with my iMac. Or cm9 or cm10....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddameu:
bought a 16gb class 10 microsd, I`m happy that at least my card will work the same as s2, I can use my phone while i`m copying files and stuffs, I can preview them before and I also made 5 pictures, deleted them and was able to recover them, this 3 things weren`t possible with the ****ty mtp.The only bad thing seems to be that the burst shot photos are saved on the phone, I heard that somehow we can force the phone to save them to the microsd but I don`t know how.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iormangund:
May not be of any help but I personally use Airdroid for data transfer off the internal memory, aslong as you have a wireless n router I find it better than using MTP. (have had lots of tranfer freeze ups with MTP so gave up using it). Downside is atmo airdroid doesn't seem to be able to access external storage, so would use UMS, card reader, etc for that.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
Coming from the Iconia Tab A500 I do have some mixed feelings about the Iconia A700. The display is great, and the heat doesnt concern me to much, but the sometimes unresponiveness bothers me lots. Tried to bring up the recently used apps, it stutters, going back to the home page, it stutters. And I disabled the virusscanner and the Acer Ring and am using the Apex launcher.....

But this isnt my biggest problem with the A700, as I will be using it mostly for reading and watching movies, which it handles well. My biggest disappointment is not being able to use USB storage when charging the A700. Is someone in the know of a solution for that? Arent there USB-thingies which fit in the A700, and have 2 USB connectors, one for the charger, one for a USB-stick/USB-HD or whatever?

Would it be possible to create a thingy like that, or do they exist already, and if the answer is yes, will it make it possible to charge and use or a USB-stick, or a USB-HD at the same time?

Please, your ideas/thoughts/solutions for this.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DЯΦiDi@П:
Fully charged it can play movies for about 10 hours. So why recharging it while watching? Just do it before or afterwards.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
I know I can do that, but that wasnt what I asked :)

So please, are there possibilities to do what I asked in my first post?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DЯΦiDi@П:
I just wonder why you try to construct problems, that don't really exist.

But looking at the special connector acer developed, I think there will be no accessory that will fullfil your needs.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
Who says it is not a problem? My experience with batteries is, that they work great for a few months, after that their charge cycle gets dramatically worse. And I just want to be able to use a USB-stick while charging at the same time!

And I wonder why ACER made this decision, while it worked perfectly on the A500, so ACER had the knowlege to keep it like in the A500, or would it add t much to the price??? I wonder......

Anyway, on the A500 whenever I used it i had an USB-stick plugged in, when charging or not... Which is impossible now.... So, I understand it's not a problem for you, but it is a problem for me... Otherwise i just as well could have chosen a new IPad..... I want connections, many!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
I can understand you to a certain point. I myself asked me why Acer did not chose a more standarized plug-in (like the round one nearly every notebook and many other small devices with external powersupply uses). But anyway I knew the downside before I orded it and can live with it.

Why don't you change from sticks to micro-sdcards? They are also cheap, smaller, hide in the tablet and you free up the micro-usb for the charger (and nothing is dangling around on the bottom). And there exists readers for micro-sdcards that you can use as an usb-stick on your normal computer or other devices.

Think about it instead of infinitly waiting for an other solution.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] CheopsChefren:
I understand what you say, and ofcourse it is not a showstopper for me. But it is annoying, I choose - my mistake - blind for the A700 because I was satisfied with the A500, and couldnt imagine ACER would make such a stupid decision to use the micro-USB port for the charger as well. If I had done my homework, and as of now I will, I would have bought the ASUS A700 with dock, speedier Tegra 3 and thanks to the dock better expansion-possibilities.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
The Asus dock for the TF700 is not well designed. Don't laugh but it's too light :D. One user in the TF700 put the tab on his lap in his dock in opened position. Because of the unbalanced weights of those both parts it fell backwards of his lab on the ground. Now he has to use his insurance (luckily for him he has one).

So if you want to watch videos with this combination you either have to hold it or put something behind to prevent it falling back. Acer is not perfect neither it is Asus.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] salisbury_steak:
An alternative to access external memory while charging is to us MicroSD cards instead. The A700 can handle up to 32GB (maybe more), and you can just buy a tiny mem card reader to interface with a regular PC USB port.

(This was originally posted in a sub-sub-sub forum, but I don't think there was enough traffic to get any responses, so maybe it's better suited for this General section?)

I just wanted to bring up a few thoughts I've had about the upcoming OUYA console, and see what you guys think.

1. I still don't really understand how/why all of this couldn't have been handled by simply creating a GoogleTV-specific OUYA app...?

2. Besides the OUYA's dedicated game-centric market, and their custom controller, what does one really gain that is not already available in the Android ecosystem?

3. How do they plan to prevent their entire custom OS (Or their individual apps) from being ported to other Tegra-based GTV devices in the future? Or, given their outright support for hacking the device, would they even care?

4. And then there's this: Google reportedly making a Game Center for Android

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-reportedly-making-a-Game-Center-for-Android_id30026/

If one was to pair the above (hypothetical) "GTV Game Center" app with a Google-branded "Nexus Controller," wouldn't the entire OUYA become pointless? Would you prefer an app/service that is fully integrated with the entire Google ecosystem, rather than a custom version of the OS and functionality that are outside of (or weakly tied to) said ecosystem?

That said, I still plan to buy a OUYA, but only because I'm a sucker for shiny new toys -- especially of the Android variety! :laugh:

What are your thoughts? Am I "over thinking" this console? Do you think it will be made pointless by an evolution of the GTV?

I'm just looking for friendly debate, so please keep it civil... ;)
[General Questions and Answers] okmijnlp:
It's $100, a lot cheaper than most phones capable of gaming. It's hackable, so rather than spending a bomb on a new phone to play the latest games, just add some more cpu/gpu for a lot cheaper. It has a controller, no more crappy touch screen controls, or spending a fortune on a PS3 controller.
[General Questions and Answers] paleh0rse:
I guess my biggest issue with it is that they're leaving out the GTV capabilities. That just doesn't make any sense to me at all.

If the Vizio Costar switches to a Tegra3, they could simply add an "Ouya Game Center" app, and be done... in that single move, they'd make the entire Ouya console obsolete.

i feel like i'm the only person afraid of kickstarter. but, i think this thing will really only appeal to people that don't want to invest in sony or microsoft's new consoles.
[General Questions and Answers] SinisterModz:
I'm just waiting to see what Sony and Microsoft are going to bring to the table, hopefully we will see an Android LIKE experience with their next gen console's.
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
I plan on buying this regardless in addition to the next MS console.
[General Questions and Answers] dbzfanatic:
They openly support hacking the console so any gtv apps/services they don't natively support we can always add in later. As for porting their OS it could be possible and I think they would care but honestly it would be a completely different experience compared to the console. For instance a tablet with the ported OS and bluetooth controller would be similar but possibly just not up to spec causing slow response time or crashing/freezing. it seems cool though and I'm all for it, especially since I saw it a while ago on Hackaday (that's how I heard about it).
[General Questions and Answers] .Ne0:
Google TV's half-hearted Android port is too restrictive for me.

Lost faith in Sony after PS3 Linux fiasco, and BMG CD Malware Scandal. Microsoft Surface with Windows RT's "Secure Boot" is also too restrictive for me.

Lenovo's LeTV has full Android port and comes with game controller(s).

...So for me, it comes down to $1000 LeTV vs $99 OUYA ...until Google Game Center becomes available on tablets.
[General Questions and Answers] paleh0rse:
The problem with hacking the GTV apps and functionality onto the Ouya is that they're not including the HDMI input that is required for actual GTV functionality. If they just added that one port, I think it would make a lot more sense, and it would have that much more potential...
[General Questions and Answers] dbzfanatic:
Well again they support total hacking of the system so my guess is that someone will get it up and working with an HDMI port. Honestly my bet would be less than 2 weeks after release it'll either be posted here or on hackaday or both (here because it's an android console, hackaday because it's a hardware hack) so we'll really just have to wait and see but it's not out of the realm of possibilities.
[General Questions and Answers] mox123:
its a waste of time the ouya, if i want a console id rather use the ps3 or xbox 360, and if i want android gaming, id rather game on the tube or train or bus on the way to work/home/whatever to pass the time with on my gs3 or one x,
[General Questions and Answers] xd8:
it's a nice idea, but it will never compete with the 'big boys', android games just can't compare
[General Questions and Answers] mox123:
yeh they suck compared to the big boys, what a daft idea,

when portable devices can get real computing architecture (not arm, arm sucks) and decent battery life along with support for dx11+ style graphics, anti aliasiing, etc,. then this would be a big deal, right now, its just a waste of space
[General Questions and Answers] gray bishop:
I'd like to see what the Ouya would be like with the new intel mobile processors, and yes.......... an HDMI port.

I'm not going to say the current Ouya will be a total bust, the funding says I'm not alone in that thought. I do see this taking over as the kids video game system, all those silly games kids download on their parents phones from the play store...for $100. Pretty decent.

The Xbox 720 and the PS4 will still be the dominant consoles though.......... it would be nice if Ouya's presence made them lower the future pricing; the slim PS3 coming out is rumored at $150.
