[Ouya General] coachclass:
That's why I'm interested in the Ouya. If you look at it as a gaming console, it might be lacking. But if you're looking for a low powered family friendly HTPC that runs hardware graphics supported XBMC, it's definitely promising.

For comparison, the other Android PC devices in market are all backed by Chinese companies with very little quality control and support. The Android sticks cost between $40 and $100, but don't have ethernet jacks, meaning when you start microwaving your popcorn you'd interrupt the movie. The Andoid boxes in the market, like the highly rated G-box Midnight, are dual-core 1GB devices, and cost about $100. They don't come with the nifty Ouya controller that has a built in touch pad.

So, for the same price as one of the top Android boxes, the Ouya gives you a game controller, quad-core vs. dual-core CPU, and a US based company that has a bit more momentum, so hopefully better product reliability and support. If there's a market for Roku and Apple TV, there's a market for Ouya. It looks like it has the ease-of-use for the everyday consumer, but can also be more versatile for those wanting to put in some time.

The only downside is that Ouya has an incentive to keep the system locked to its own market. Despite being touted as being very hackable, I haven't seen anyone install pure Android on it yet. I would like to have the regular android desktop so I can make use of informational widgets, run the apps I've already brought from the play store, and not be tied down to using the Ouya just as a gaming platform.

But I also don't think the Ouya is limited to those with a large media library and NAS setup. There's a market for Roku-like and Apple TV devices. The Ouya is like Roku and Apple TV, but does a lot more.
[Ouya General] rushless:
Still can't help to think that releasing this late with a Tegra 3 is a negative and the exclusive market will turn a lot of current Android users off. Most will assume they can put apps on all their other devices.

I understand the chip choice was cost and the proprietary market is their money model, but most consumers will not care about those dynamics.

I took a mini USB cable and plugged it into my Amaze. It's the regular USB, not the Amaze USB, so it kinda wiggles around in the port. Then when I held up my Amaze with the USB in, it kept going on and off with the charging aspect of it. Anyone know?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Well...if it wiggles like you stated then that's your problem ya know. You lose the amaze cable?
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I've got a mini usb cable that will do the same thing. Its because even though it will work, they can get loose enough that they won't make 100% contact. I've found that if you pinch the top part of the cable down a bit it'll grip onto the contacts better, but if you've got an HTC cable for your phone you're better off using it. The micro usb cables hold onto the contacts only, not the frame of the port like it should, while the HTC cable fits securely in the port and you run zero chance of anything breaking off.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] benzso63:
Today I received the new update message, last time it tried to install it itself after 3 times postponed. But for for reason it failed. Is it because the phone is rooted ?

What if AT&T release the Jelly bean update in the future and I want to install it. How do I fix the update error message? Do I need to un-root the phone first ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlwaysNoob:
+1. I also have stock LEM firmware and I am rooted(everything is stock though). When I try to update to LG1 via OTA, it downloads the update and reboots in CWM and fails to update. When I plugin via Kies to update, it times out.

Is there any way to update to LG1 when you are rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Correct me if I'm wrong but it should work if you have the stock recovery - which in your case you don't but not necessarily in the OP's case. Unless the OP wasn't perfectly clear. ;)

Maybe you need to go back to stock first?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlwaysNoob:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] benzso63:
I am not worry about the minor update from AT&T, we all expect to get Jell Bean soon. Just want to make sure we can download the update and install it properly without any errors. So should we go stock? What will be the steps? Download the stock firmware and use Odin flash it back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I wouldn't worry about the official update. Usually in a day or two of official release, there will be an official firmware in package in the development section.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] benzso63:
Did you mean we can just download the custom jelly bean firmware and install it as custom rom instead of the official one from AT&T? I think that make sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
When its released, yes. That's one reason there are threads just for stock firmware.

Pebble Watch

This one got alot of buzz surrounding it's Kickstarter campaign. They were looking to raise $100,000 and ended up with over $10 million.

http://getpebble.com

There are over 68,000 pre-orders so you might be waiting awhile :)

They said they are looking to ramp up production to 15,000 per week sometime after September.

I was thinking of picking up a Nano & watchband, I don't really see myself playing games on a little phone, especially for that price range, the nanos are 100? + $50 watch band = same concept?
[Off-topic] kpjimmy:
I preordered this in January (right after CES) and they were supposed to ship in April. April came and went and imwatch kept pushing the ship dates back and back and without any word of why the delay. I requested a refund and that alone took 15 business days to process. I even called Italy long distance (using google voice) and they STILL didn't do anything correctly. Really bad customer service. I am a pebble backer :) Waterproof ftw IMO. :highfive:

And I have seen ONE person get their i'm watch. That's very suspect, because if the stated 300 "beta" users were supposed to get their im watches, I haven't heard or seen any youtube vids of any sort.

i just bought the motorola motoactv to sync to my phone after motorola announced a @100 price drop. for $200, its a 16gb smart watch that will read facebook updates, sms, allow you to answer calls (you can sync a bluetooth headset or use a wired headset on the watch itself), has GPS tracking, accelerometer. however, its more of a fitness oriented watch with limited customisability, and most existing apps are fitness related.

the sony mn2 smartwatch is cheaper, but the screen isnt as good as the motorola, and it doesnt have any notable storage options. the sony smartwatch is nothing more than a mere digital watch when its not sync'd to the device, as all the apps are just widgets to read stuff from your android device. the advantage is that its much more customisable than the motorola.

So I've been searching around for the last hour and I have no idea what to do about this. I'm stuck in the bootloader after I did a superwipe from the 4EXT recovery. I can't get back into the recovery and everything I do just sends me back to the bootloader. I can do fastboot commands, but I can't do "fastboot flash recovery name.img" it keeps telling me "writing' recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed). I'm currently SUPERCID, and S-OFF. Please help <_<

Have you tried flashing 4EXT recovery from the AIO toolkit? I have been in the same situation as you before and that always worked for me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
1. Don't use Superwipe.zip..4EXT recovery has a wipe all (except sdcard) option that works just fine.

2. The only way to save your device is to flash the RUU.

Good Luck.

if you can't flash through fastboot have you tried an ruu on your sd card?

can you tell me what to do

thank you
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Can you give some information about your device? Are you rooted or stock? When I was totally stock I had the same issue . My device would randomly reboot upon doing a task, it got so bad it was driving me crazy! Strange thing is once I rooted s off and installed a custom Rom the rebooting stopped . It never happened again! It led me to form a opinion of that custom roms are much more stable than stock roms. If you are stock and this continues to happen check your running applications and keep them to a minimum. This helped me some when I was stock. You can also try a reset but back up your applications with a app like "my backup" from the playstore. If the data loss continues I would contact your provider . Perhaps they can help. I wish you the best. Hopefully those things can help your issue.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer9:
How does charging work? Can/Do you charge with both the dock and tablet connected?

I assume the charge port for the dock is located on the side? (I can't stand the fact that the tablet charge port is on the bottom thus making it difficult to put on charge and still use it because you can't stand it up...) :silly:

Assuming you keep your dock and tablet connected, how do they fold up?

-As in, is it secure in not making the connection fragile or in danger of breaking?

Obviously I currently only have the tablet BUT am watching the prices on the dock and considering purchasing one eventually.

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
The connector on the bottom of the table hooks into the port, while the dock charging port is on the left side of the dock. Opening and closing does not affect the charging connection whatsoever.

When the dock is connected by itself, it charges itself.

When the dock is *not* connected and the tablet is docked, the tablet will discharge down to 70%, then begin charging from the dock battery until it reaches 90%.

When the dock is connected with the table docked, both will charge.

I hope this helps.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
The charging port is on the left-hand side. You can charge your tablet directly on the bottom, or plug it into the dock and charge it on the side.

The way charging works, is the dock has an interior battery that holds a charge. When you plug the tablet into the dock, the tablet will charge off of the docks' battery. So the dock will die before your tablets' battery is even taxed.

The dock/tablet fold up just like a regular laptop/netbook, in a much smaller and slimmer form factor. Its just like closing a book, honestly, and about the same size with half the weight.

Since the dock connector is on the side, closing the dock/tablet doesn't affect it charging.

Officemax has the dock for ~$100, just an FYI. I couldn't get a price match at Best Buy because we don't have an OfficeMax near where I live.

Hope this helps.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer9:
Thanks for the great replies! WoW, OfficeMax on sale, eh?

That is exactly how I got my TF300T with a price match from "Best Buy" which is right up the road from Office Max in my situation. Picked up the tablet for $350 at the time :highfive:

Seems the sale was so popular they sold out of stock and ended it early. But I saw the dock for $100 about a week after I bought my tablet (so the 20th of June or so) and that's when I saw that price. But since it was so cheap, everyone and their moms' bought one. Sucks you missed out :(

I've searched for 3 hours and nothing helped so:

I have an international HTC One X Unlocked on HTCDev with S-ON :

ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.95.000

CID: HTC__032

MID: PJ4610000

I have installed ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 and made a backup recovery 2 days ago from it before doing anything else.

and accidentally today i did these commands:

Wipe battery stats

Wipe Dalvik cache

wipe data/factory reset

and

format /cache

format /data

format /sdcard

format /system

Of course... after rebooting... NO MORE OS BOOT UP , it gets stuck at HTC Brilliant screen and stays forever.

First thing I did was to try to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe

didn't work! it says UNKNOWN ERROR (i think not the os it wants)

then i copied all the backup folders from my computer (the backup that i've made 2 days ago) on the sdcard partition which i can accesss from clockworkmod by mounting usb (and of course it was totally empty)

didn't wirk either.

How cand i put back my OS while I still have access to sdcard, bootloader and clockwork mod.

Please help me, I'm a dummy!

Can you put your back up of nandroid to internal sd card of phone?
[HTC One X] mihaipricop82:
I can, but I don't know the path, correct path, All I have is the folder named exactly like this: 2012-07-26.05.13.13 with this files in it:

boot.img

cache.ext4.tar

data.ext4.tar

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.ext4.tar
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
lol

if you know what you are doing with explorer then you just need to drop the folder 2012-07-26.05.13.13 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

then restore your backup in recovery

i assume if you have done "format /sdcard and /system" then wondering why your phone wont boot, you are a dummy so i will write a dummy guide for you :laugh:

yeah, formatting /system is why it wont boot anymore

here are the things you need to do to get booting again

reboot into recovery

click on "mounts and storage"

click on "mount USB storage" at bottom

plug your phone into PC via USB cable

open up computer (assuming Windows) and open up your now blank /SDCARD

make a folder called "clockworkmod" (without quotes)

open this folder then make another one inside it called "backup"

copy your 2012-07-26.05.13.13 folder from your PC to the "backup" folder

click on "Unmount" on your phone

click on "+++++Go Back+++++"

click on "backup and restore"

click on "restore"

click on "2012-07-26.05.13.13"

click on "Yes - Restore"

once complete you should be fine and dandy again

everything

thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.

Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di

Do you have the latst Recovery? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

If not, update to latest recovery and try to mount USB storage again.

Also you can try to use adb while you have the phone in recovery mode, not fastboot or hboot.

And, did you remember to flash the boot.img from fast boot after reflasnig the ROM? if not, that that is causing the bootloops.

Here is an alternative way without ruu

1-Mount usb in recovery

2-Copy this rom to sdcard

3-Factory reset

4-Flash rom

4-Start ruu and grab the rom.zip (you can find guides at xda for grabbing rom.zip)

5-Extract boot_signed.img and recovery.img

6-Execute fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img and fastboot flash recovery

recovery.img

7-Reboot and relock the bootloader

and now you don't need ruu and phone works well :) I tried this myself and it worked
