[G2 and Desire Z General] hellachopper:
Hi,

So today I was using my G2, it worked perfctly and all of a sudden it decided to not respond to the keys when I press the "O", "P", "K" & "M" keys. I dont understand what could cause this? I have a G2 i tried replacing the screen on last night but when I did and turned it on the screen is white with vertical lines so I think its the motherboard possibly? SHould I switch the keyboards or do you have any suggestions? I already did a factory reset :(:(

[HTC One X] Rignog:
Hi sorry for a possibly noob issue but I am having major issues when trying to install a 3rd party kernel on my HTC one x with ARHD 7.2.2,Rom installed. It keeps sticking on the boot screen then rebooting (reboot loop) I have tried installing it (FAUX 005B1) different ways and seems to install fine (clears the cache after every install) but still the same thing. I'm downloading the kernels from the repack section of ARHD FORUM..... Need help :s
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Are you flashing the boot.img in fastboot and then the modules in recovery
[HTC One X] Rignog:
Yea I've used afew of the flashing programs aswell tried rebooting before and after the module installation aswell, it only seems to work if I use the kernel supplied with ARHD (the windows bat file installation)
[HTC One X] eyosen:
If it reboots after 10 seconds or so, it enters emergency reboot. Have you tried manually flashing the repacked kernel, then "fastboot erase cache", then flashing kernel modules from recovery, then erasing Dalvik under advanced?
[HTC One X] Rignog:
I think its work, that eraseing davic seems to have done it. I checked the kernel info on settings and it doesnt say faux123 kernel is that normal? What should it say? Thanks again for all the help

My brother recently gave me a HDD to put in my hard drive enclosure, he told me to format it so i did.

Then i opened the HDD in windows 7, Scanned and fixed.

Put it in my pc 2 hours later, pc told me to format.

any ideas on how to fix?

every time i formatted i did a quick format.

Im doing a long format now.

Try re-formatting it....

[Off-topic] 85gallon:
So you took an HDD and installed it into an enclosure and formatted it.

You then attached external enclosure to a Win 7 PC and it told you to format it. You scanned and fixed with Win 7.

Here is the confusing part.... You then say you "Put it in my pc 2 hours later, pc told me to format."

Did you remove it from the enclosure and actually "put it in your pc" or did you just hook up the external drive to USB?

Some enclosures treat an HDD differently than if the HDD is actually installed into your PC. If you installed into your PC after it was in the enclosure, you might want to make sure their are no extra partitions that the enclosure hardware created(sometimes a small partition is created by the enclosure). If the HDD is actually IN your PC see if their are extra partitions on the new drive, blow away all of the partitions on it and then create a new partition for the full drive and then fomat.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
If it's a WD external, I say break it open. There's a perfectly good green or blue HDD in there with SATA. Don't let USB get in the way.

[Off-topic] ross231:
I put the enclosre back in the pc.sorry if you did not understand, i was tired :)
[Off-topic] 85gallon:
That still doesn't make sense and I'm sure you are still tired. LOL But I think I know what you mean. You took the HD out of your enclosure and put it into your PC. Then what you experienced is not uncommon when moving an HD from external enclosure to using as an internal HD.

Just break down any partitions on it, create a new one and format it. Do full or quick. It really doesn't matter. I prefer full. Quick format does not really format the entire drive immediately. It gets it set up to format. When you start writing data to the drive is when it formats as you are doing that. So if you go to copy a big movie over to it for the first time, it will copy the movie, but it is formatting the area in the background and takes longer. That is why I prefer full formatting.
[Off-topic] ross231:
LOL. he's my brother :)

He did not give me the HDD :)
[Off-topic] ross231:
I got it working. i think.

I did a quick format on the HDD, then i did a long one. it works.

so i am from germany and i really love the N7 from reviews, tests etc. alone the price is worth buying.

but some questions are still in my mind:

i want to use it with a bluetooth keyboard because i want to take my notes next school year with a tablet. so my questions is whether the N7 can be used like this. im thinking about the small display :rolleyes:

is there going to be a dock which is loading the N7? actually i am unclear whether the battery life is coming over a whole school day

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrwingate6:
I have a couple of questions regarding some options under "Developer Options" in the settings menu. The first questions I have is regarding GPU Rendering. Should we enable it and has anyone noticed any positive/negative effects after enabling it? The next question I have is about the option to limit background processes. I have been limiting the processes to 4 but it seems like every time I go back into this sub menu. it is always back to it's stock setting of "Standard Limit'. Does anyone know how to make it stay on 4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Force gpu rendering in theory makes ui more responsive and fluid, but if apps are not specifically coded for that, they can look weird with black bars and abnormal colors. I noticed this in few apps and turned it off. I am not sure why ur background process number is not sticking, but honestly u will be more happy if u leave it at default coz with 2 gb ram there is enough memory to run all ur background services and some more.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Dude my background processes keep reverting back to i noticed when i went back in i know it stuck for me on complete stock but i am on free gs3 rom right now and think it might be something conflicting with the modified build.prop tweaks he may have in there. ??? Anyways that switched to limiting 4 background processes and putting window animation and transition animation to 0.5 i noticed a difference . Although i dont really think our phones need this because of the 2gb of ram now maybe the g2x did :P and as far as gpu rendering u will only notice a difference in some apps that are optimized for this. If not u will notice some artifacts on the screen thats usually your first hint to switch it off because it isnt playing nicely with that particular App. But yes especially in some games u should notice a slight difference. Again if it was the g2x having no hardware accelaration then having it u saw a big difference....our gs3's our such beasts that its minimal to our eyes

[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
Anyone here use a 32gb microSDHC in their Rezound? If so, is the performance just as good as what came with the phone? Also, any experience with Class 10 vs something slower? I'm pretty sure that would only really affect video but I assume the one they packaged with the phone was worthwhile.

Anyway, I saw Amazon has a Class 4 (slow) 32gb for $19 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056TYX8U) and figured I might grab it so I can store more music on my phone.

[HTC Rezound] rezin:
i invested in a class 10 32gig'er and i would not have it anyother way...especially if you plan on using the HD Cam mod that doesnt compress pictures...absolutely beautiful pics and no lag between snapshots...as far as the video...ive recorded several 720p videos and they look pretty good as well, plus youll have hours and hours of video with even a few gigs...i have about 20gigs of music and some movies and tons of ruu and roms...with the 8gb that are left i can still record 4 hours of 720 p video...i prefer 720p to the 1080p option because 1080p records at 20 fps vs 30 fps for 720p, id much rather have smooth video...i also prefer the lower megapixel settings than the full 8 just because no ever needs to print a picture the size of a billboard...but none-the-less i couldnt imagine my rezound with out one, infact the only thing that kept me from buying a class 6 64 gig card was the difference in speed, it is so much more important than the size
[HTC Rezound] dogswind:
I use a Class 4 32gb that came with my old Thunderbolt. Still using it with no issues whatsoever, and I play music and videos from it a lot.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I got a class 10 32GB on one of the amazon.com lightning deals one time for $31. It's blazing fast. Can't speak to slower ones. I used a class 6 16GB before that, which I loved.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
To tell you the truth; I pretty much filled up my 32g. Got a 64g in it now.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I have a class 4 32gb also, haven't had any problems with it. I think the speed is about 8MB/sec IIRC.

I have a Class 6 64GB in right now, I filled the 32GB right up between music, movies, ROMs, and HD pics. :)
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I just bought a 32gb PNY class 10 at best buy the other day. So far, all transfers from SD to computer are hitting about 15mbps. My original sd only hits around 7. Much better performance without the risk of 64 gb cards.

[HTC Rezound] bcurtis:
The speed class you choose should depend on how you plan to use the storage. If you're going to be writing/reading data constantly, then you'll benefit from a proper class 10 mSDHC. If you plan on filling it up once and adding to it occasionally, then a class 4 or 6 would be fine, IMO.

I have two of these and enjoy the consistent 18MB/s read and 15MB/s write speed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558

Does it make the phone itself faster during normal use (compared to a slower card), probably not. However, it makes transferring roms, nandroids and music/video much more bearable. In the end, it's up to you and your usage style to decide if the higher speed cards will be of benefit.

More info on the definition of SD speed class specifications can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
If your budget will allow, go for a class 10. Just in case you need to transfer some big file in the future.

Mine was a Kingston too from Amazon wireless! It crapped out 2wks ago (while moving apps to SD in settings, it crashed) so I tried to take it in to a Verizon store to see if there was any chance of getting it swapped out.

the manager there denied that it was the original card that came with the phone. He said it wouldn't have been a 'cheap' brand like that. :what: So I asked him what brand he considered good and he could only name SanDisk. I didn't know how else I could have argued with him so I just dropped it and left. It was my word against his anyway and SD cards are cheap now but I was still grumpy cuz of the principle. :mad:

Here is a pretty good one:

Its class 10 and a pretty good price with a promo code for a little discount. One of the reviews even said he uses it for his Rezound.

Also, here is an ADATA at same price but does not get the promo code for the discount: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558

In my honest opinion, It's not worth it to buy a 64gb card as those run near 90 dollars when you could get 2 32gb cards for a total price of around 60 dollars

Hi Team,

I'm using my Acer A100 as a Car Tablet (it's in the dash and working) but the problem is that it's GPS is very slow and many times Synic (the App) acting on me as looking for sat's

looking if someone else is using it like that and has GPS issues or any recommendations for external GPS to use with it

Thanks
[General Accessories] TheDarkRealm:
I've used my Motorola Xoom for quite some time, bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 today to finally install into the dash properly, cant say I've ever had any issues with GPS using either Co-Pilot or Google Navigation (the Xoom has been in the dash but its a little too big and looks really stupid).

If your looking for an external module then anything based on sirf3 chipset is usually reliable, there are newer chipsets but I've always found them to be cheap and reliable when doing projects.

I've never had the need to use an external GPS with an Android device, or even if its possible.

Good Luck!

[General Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I know in theory you should be able to use a Bluetooth GPS modules and it works.
[General Accessories] jac6695:
If you use an external GPS receiver you will need an interface. When I used my G Tab for navi I used a program call Blue GPS or similar. There a few in the Play Store. I can't see why you should unless the A100 has GPS issues, or it is surrounded by metal in your dash.

I have always used CoPilot and really like it. I had Garmin on my WinMo phone several years ago and loved that but CoPilot is almost as good. IIRC CoPilot is on sale right now and will come with 12 months of traffic for free.

I posted this on WPCentral's Arrive forum, figured I'd post this here as well... I went down to the Sprint corporate store on 42nd street in NYC the other day for kicks and noted that the HTC Arrive was nowhere to be found. The same could be said for the three Sprint Authorized Retailers around where I live. No Arrives in stock and 2 out of the 3 had no demo units on the floor (the one that did had a non-working dummy).

I asked a rep about it and he told me that as of the last signage/price changes and updates, the Arrive was listed as EOL, but it's in their systems and on sprint.com as $49.99 after $50 mail-in rebate should someone want to order one.

Hopeful for a Windows Phone 8 announcement or has Sprint officially given up?
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
The Arrive has been out for just over a year. It is pretty old by todays cell standards so I would just be patient for WP8 as I would bet all Windows Phone sales have slowed down since the WP8 anouncement. Lets just hope that HTC doesn't play hardball and actually develops a Arrive 2 and keeps the HW keyboard alive.
[HTC 7 Pro] iknowsingh:
...and we wonder where Windows Phone support on Sprint went to... look no further -

Sprint CEO says paying over $15 billion for the iPhone was money well spent | iMore.com

Quoted from the CEO Hesse himself -

“I think the No. 1 thing was getting the call from Apple that they were interested in at least having the opportunity,” Hesse said. Of course, the company and its board had to take a hard look at the economics. Selling the iPhone is good for the long term, Hesse said, noting that customers are more valuable in the long term. But, in the short term, it is costly, as the company spends more in subsidies to attract those iPhone buyers.

“We committed to $15.5 billion over four years in purchases,” Hesse said. “That’s a large commitment. ”He said Sprint looked at Apple and its popularity, and “we saw no reason to bet against Apple.”

Ugh... :(
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
And you are supprised? They don't have to pay didly to get Windows Phone but the iPhone is obviously the best thing to come to both Verizon and Sprint (since the EVO) and in reality, it is money well spent at least for the next year or two until WP8 really begins to make a dent in the market. Until then, there is nothing negitive about the money spent to get the most popular smartphone on their network. The sheer number of people that were just waiting for it to happen so they could jump ship from AT&T alone probably was worth it.
[HTC 7 Pro] ctiger:
After such a long time from release, it deemed to go to an end. I just am surprised why it took so long. Stupid sprint didn't go get anything new for WP7.
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
What other CDMA Designes were released in that time? Heck how many of them used WiMax 4G? That was the problem with Sprint bringing on any new phones since none of the current 1st and 2nd gen devices were really a high end device worth bringing over to their network. The one thing they could have done is swapped the Trophy and Arrive between Verizon and Sprint, but overall the differences between the two aren't huge.

With WP8 and the new selection of chipsets and such to choose from, I am sure Sprint will have another new handset as well as the Return of Nokia to them as well.
[HTC 7 Pro] evath:
Probably not. Though it is more likely now that Sprint is getting LTE, I know that I, personally, am jumping to Verizon when my contract is up in March, or maybe sooner if I decide it's worth it to pay the ETF before then. All I'm really waiting for is the Verizon store 3 blocks away to get the Lumia 822. ATIV S, or HTC 8X on display for me to go play with/drool over. :)
