Also, you can move the temp folder. I have mine on RAMdisk. Makes things pretty speedy.

Exactly, by modifying the environment variable under the advanced system properties.

When I get home later, I'vE got a few things you can do to help ssd lifespan
[Off-topic] mikef:
Make sure you right click on the SSD drive and click Properties, then UNcheck indexing. Also uncheck the disk defragmenter schedule under the defrag GUI. It will thrash the drive because it never actually finishes the scheduled defrag job, so it will run forever. I let it go for almost two weeks once just to see, I figured eventually every file would be completely defragged but it just never stopped blinking the drive every second or two. Just run it manually every few weeks.
[Off-topic] veeman:
You don't even need to defragment an ssd.
[Off-topic] mikef:
Right, but the other non-SSD external drive might need it sometimes.
[Off-topic] hhwong:
care to explain a little on how to move that folder in ramdisk? :) I dont have much ram on my lap top, only 6gb i believe, but I assume that temp folder wouldnt take much more than 500mb space now would it?
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Shoot, I'm not near my PC right now. I did it a year ago, so I don't want to tell you something wrong. You're probably safe setting it to 500mb though. I have 8gb of ram, so I set mine at 1gb, because I also set my internet cache to store there.

Sorry I can't be a bigger help at the moment. Hopefully you get more responses soon.

ok TRIM enabled, paging disabled, indexing disabled, hibernate disabled, superfetch disabled....

did i miss anything beside moving temp folder to ramdisk? that I dont know how to do lol

got some info from http://lifehacker.com/5802838/how-to-maximize-the-life-of-your-ssd

hopefully thats a good guide lol
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
The page file debate has never been settled, so keep it disabled unless you game a lot. Gaming uses a good amount of memory, so keep an eye on your memory usage. A page file is for memory overflow mainly. Life hacker guides are pretty good generally.

[Off-topic] mikef:
For me it is easy, if I am paging out to the disk then I need more RAM. :D After I got 8 gigs in my machine I turned the page file off completely and it runs fine.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Same :D

ok i havnt reboot since i finished installing win 7

been browsing websites etc though, didnt install anything else so this cant be software conflicts

anyways, the problem is, when i SHUT DOWN the pc, and turn it back on

on first boot it will ask me to insert media or proper boot device and press any key......so i am pretty much forced to alt ctrl del

however after soft restart, i can simply boot into windows flawlessly.....

does this has something to do with my power supply? I thought ssd take less power than traditional drives?

I flahsed the latest bios for motherboard already......the only thing i havnt tried yet is updating the ssd firmware since the performance boost is very minor and i heard a lot of people having trouble after updating (ocz vertex 4 512gb)

i am using asus k53sv-a1

I am so lost!! D:

Has anyone heard when the exact date for release will be? It's funny they have a scheduled update for the 8th of Aug. http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4531 but still don't have release date for the phone. Now that Tmoible is finally getting this phone I have been reading that the Note 2 is coming in like Sept - Oct time frame.

WiFi Calling and the SIM

Good morning from Japan,

Just got a wireless router in my room so I'm thinking my phone would work with my international SIM card (even though the phone does not generate 2100 MHZ). Well I was wrong. It seems that when I dropped in my Tmo SIM card, WiFi Calling was enabled, but not when the other World SIM was installed (I tested the world sim on the network only (not wifi) calling in the states before travel and it worked). I'm assuming the WiFi calling is tied to the Tmo SIM card, maybe the SIM number or phone number? Has anyone else run into this issue? If that is true is there a way to add in additional SIM cards to be recognized by WiFi Calling? Let me know your thoughts.

I really don't get why there are 2 seperate Android development sub-forums if the mods leave them so unorganized and all threads mixed. That's make it so much harder to find things.

You should either combine them into 1 forum or make sure the right threads are in the right forums.

For example, all the below appear in the "Galaxy S III Android Development" while they supposed to be at the "Galaxy S III ORIGINAL (AOSP/AOKP) Android Development" (there are many more threads need to be shifted)

[Galaxy S III General] adyscorpius:
Most of the above, are kangs, builds of original work. Yes, each of these devs created a ROM, but they are all BASED on some original ROM in the Original dev section.

So while you might be thinking all AOSP ROMs are original, they are not.
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
If you want to contact a moderator, PM them, opening a thread is a very slow way to get in touch with us.

I was recently given a free two year promotion for Dropbox and it gave 48 Gigs free, plus the regular amount so in total 50.75 gigs. I have no use for dropbox as I prefer Sugarsync so if anyone wants the account I can update the email address to yours and you can update the name on the account. You wouldn't have to pay for the 50 gigs until 2014.

If anyone wants the account just post in here then PM you email address you'd like me to set the account to.

Please Read First:

Introduction

Hi everyone! So basically in this thread i wish to cover everything that one would want to know about the Google Nexus 7! I have a youtube channel which i plan to make the reviews on and embedd them here. I will basically try to cover the Nexus 7 as much in detail as possible. Hopefully my series of videos will help you truly to get to know this device and help you in the decision to spend your hard earned money on this device or save it for something better. All Reviews here are my opinions and may differ from your so i encourage you to tell me how you feel about the nexus 7 by leaving a reply to this thread or on my youtube video page.

A bit about myself:

I am an Android user currently. I started using Android about a year back and since then have learnt almost everything Android threw at me. So i have rooted and unbricked and installed tons of ROMs for myself and my friends. I am by no means a developer although I am currently learning to program in Java. I have also got the chance to work with many Android devices in the past year. You can find the list in my signature. I personally have never used Apple devices(i like them but find them very limiting, expensive and overrated)! After a year of using Android devices i have ended up with the Nexus 7 and thought i would help the community by making a series of Videos dedicated to the Nexus 7. Hopefully this series will help the people to decide if the Nexus 7 is the right device for them in the wide world of Android. My previous device was the Galaxy Note N7000!

[LG Nitro HD] JINXR:
My data is unreliable with CM9 nightly (build date July 22) and constantly switches between H and 3G even when I have full service in H. But the V10F baseband worked great while I used it, so I'd like to go back to it. Currently, it says my baseband is MDM9200. I didn't think CM9 touched the baseband, but maybe so?

Is it as simple as running the following command using the image provided in the unbricking method?

dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Yes... i have done exactly that several times for testing.
[LG Nitro HD] JINXR:
I'll try it now.

Watching my Mobile Network Type in the Status Menu, it keeps switching from HSPA:11, HSPAP:15, and UMTS:3 constantly. Even though my Signal is -91dBm 12 asu.

I think this is affecting my battery. I'll update this thread with my results.
[LG Nitro HD] leobg:
Switching between H and 3G on the indicator is not a sign of poor connection. It is actually a way to save battery. When no data is being transmitted, radio switches to UTMS to save power (3G). When data transfer is initiated, it goes HSPA (that's 3.5G or H in the bar) so data gets transferred over faster. When data is idle, falls back to 3G again.

If you are having problems with losing data connection at times (neither 3G nor H or E/G on the antenna bar and it becomes grey), then worry.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
When you flash baseband you should also flash the matching firmware partition as well.

dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
[LG Nitro HD] paabel:
Initially , my P936 was on MDM9200B-V10f-OCT-2012-xx1 on GB STOCK ROM. Then I migrated to ICS on LG STOCK and then rooted my LG. I do not remember that baseband anymore when I was on ICS. Then I tried out to freeze of some bloatware and eventually got my mobile bricked. :cyclops: Used a the unbricking method desired here :D , I brought it back to life. :angel: Tried out several ROMs here such as MM 10.1, HoNo!s etc.

Now, I am on CM10.1 RC1 with WindKernel 2.0.1RC and read MDM9200B-V20c-SEP-25-2012.

My Question is: would it make sense to go back to MDM9200B-V10f-OCT-2012-xx1 since the "date" is higher and that was my original baseband? :confused:

Where can I find information on the difference between firmware, kernel, baseband and especially their relationsship which is not yet fully clear to me in general and P936 in particular. Thanks. :confused:
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
You shouldn't switch your base bands unless you are having radio problems. If everything is working fine then leave it alone.
[LG Nitro HD] noobsquared:
Does anyone have latest baseband.img for AT&T LG Nitro P930?

I am on CM10.1 and my reception is terrible. I barely get 1 bar on LTE and sometimes I get bunch of text messages at the same time.

Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, didn't see anything in repository.

Thank you in advance.

Sprint Galaxy S3 network connection issues

Good day everyone. I just recently purchased a New Galaxy S3 from a local Spint store. I have been a loyal Sprint customer for 15 years. I have owned many different phones (Star-Tac, Sony, Touch-pro 1-2, Evo, EVO 4G) Over the past 2 weeks since buying the S3, I've noticed a SERIOUS drop in network connectivity, both Data & Cell for absolutely no reason. Now, stop me if I'm wrong, but on my Evo 4G, I could connect to the internet EVEN if I didn't have a 3g signal... As long as I had Cell bars, I could access the web no problem. So the S3 is giving me some headaches and I've seen on other forums that others are too. These people are on diffferent carriers too.

So here's my issue. When I'm in a GOOD STRONG Sprint network, I've been attempting to access the web (Google Store or You-Tube) and have seen the 3g or 4G icon on the bar show data up/downloading then WINK, they dissappear and I get a "No connection RETRY" window. I've made many changes, selected CDMA instead of CDMA/LTE, vice-cersa. I've updated PRL, Profile, Firmware and even have the new Jelly Bean 4.1.1

I've contacted Samsung and "Chatted" with a technician, but this person had NO clue of this issue... I gave them the links to this and other Android forums...

So do I take it back? Revert back to my Evo? I have to say, the speed and versatility on the S3 when it's good, is GREAT, but I'm not one to have some half good, especially one so expensive...

Any imput is appreciated... :fingers-crossed:

SwitchMe - share your device!

SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.

Some of the benefits of this technology:

Privacy

Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.

Kids

Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.

Gaming

Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games

Speed

Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.

Testing

Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!

Battery

Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.

Critical usage warning:

Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.

READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES

Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.

Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.

Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.

Stay tuned for new features, and please rate the application by pressing the star button on the main screen - good ratings help us improve and expand functionality!

Market link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme

The free version only allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks. So what does "May cause strange behavior" exactly mean in this case?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftgg99:
Issues with multiple languages, wallpaper and screen orientation are possible, though to be honest they are minor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Cool, it works, but switching to an almost empty profile takes 30 sec, to my default one - 90. Will have to suffice for now, hope it could be faster in the future, but it's nice to have this. No issues in this mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftgg99:
The first time you switch between any 2 profiles FS will be disabled, after that switching will be much quicker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Still 30 / 90 (including the launcher). Not that I'm complaining..
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
I'm at work, so forgive me for being lazy and not just trying this, but I'm interested for using my tablet and handing to the kids (3 year old twins). My main concern is locking out the dialer as they have accidentally made numerous phonecalls. Is this possible?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftgg99:
You can lock out whatever you want or make any other changes through apps. For example, install TB in a new profile and freeze whatever apps you want. Or install a locking app and do it that way.

This app simply creates profiles - their maintenance is down to you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Interesting. So if I flash something, but it's avail to both, but if I install something under one profile, it's only available to that profile. Very interesting concept. With the advent of tablets such as the transformer series with physical KB, and the lines are quickly blurring between pc, tablet, and and even phone. Your paving the way for a whole new area of apps and for that I applaud your efforts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ftgg99:
Err... thanks :)

If you like it, rate it on the Play Store - that's the best kind of applause!

I just got a replacement for my GS3 since I had problem with the GPS. I'm a little surprised that it's not a new phone but a "Certified Like New" phone. Is that the normal Verizon warranty policy, or I somehow got the short end of the stick? I found out the GPS problem right after the 2 weeks period, that might be why I'm screwed?

The good thing is that I haven't found any problem in the new phone yet. I've run Quandrant, speed test, SD card test, screen test, GPS test. Anything else I should check?
