[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charle692:
There's a link somewhere in this forum that asus has recognized the issue and is working on a fix. I don't know if thats completely true or not but is still nice to hear. With the tf700 you will eventually have some good kernels i'm sure which will allow you to mount /cache /system to your sd card which will greatly improve your I/O especially if you have a class 10 sd card since they have quicker read/write speeds than the internal memory!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10010110:

I've read the same thing, Asus working on an I/O fix.

Here's a blog post regarding this fix. No sources listed, though: http://mark-tech.blogspot.com/2012/08/tf201-update-coming-to-address-io.html
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbojugend:
Is the IO issue a stock rom issue? I have been using Jellybean for a while and don't notice any lag.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
AFAIK as I know the I/O issue is due to stock kernel not stock rom. As of now there aren't any custom kernels out there for the TF300, so the improvement in performance you see is due to tweaks done by the rom dev and JB being faster as is. I don't have lags either and I'm on rooted stock rom with a couple of tweaks.

Run a benchmark and look at your writing and reading speed of the internal sdcard and SQlite scores. You will see that they all score very low compared to other devices. You will notice lag when for example extracting a large zip archive (1gb) from and to the internal sdcard.

Recent htc one x 4.0.4 OTA dramatically improved performance, noticed almost 1000 points more in quadrant mostly in the I/O area....so yes it' s software and yes can be fixed via updated

Weird question: I want to hide certain adult films downloaded to my phone from my wife (and kids should they pick up my phone) but so far no matter where I save the files, my gallery detects it and displays it. Any suggestions (other than not keeping porn on my my phone)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beast534:
Certain apps like Quickpic have hide/unhide functions (with passwords) to put a nomedia tag in the folder of your private media so it is not seen by other apps. Or you can just go and search for an app that hides files like Keep Safe. it just adds an extra extension of their own so you cannot see or read them unless you are viewing the media in their app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sm0k3d 0uT:
put a file in the folder named .NOMEDIA. make sure there is no file extension at the end like .txt, .rtm, etc.

You can make the file with any text editor.

I also attached a copy of that file, just extract it from the attached rar.

I use vaulty to hide pics, this app hides pics, video and txts. Nothing wrong with hiding vids from the wife and kids. Never know who will be going through your phone, always better to be safe than sorry. People often look at my pictures of my kids so I try to keep the inappropriate ones out of sight.

I was hoping to buy either the International SGS3 or the Korean SGS3 over the winter as an MP3 player (I really really want my voodoo back) when I am back home in Korea but I have never used international phones as, despite my name, I was born in America. Is it possible to use the SGS3 without a sim card as a simple mini tablet or do I have to activate it on a network first?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
You just put it on airplane mode so you dont get no sim card messages and stuff.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreanschoolkid:
Oh. So there is no way to use it as a wifi only device? Or are the sim card prompts able to be ignored until Market updates?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
airplane mode just disables the mobile network (sim card), you can use wifi and the google play "market" with airplane mode on, it wont say no sim warnings and will save more battery with it on since it wont look for the sim card

[Nexus 7 General] Pawnty:
​

Just finished watching the Playstation Gamescom conference and when they got around to the Playstation Mobile segment I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sony has partnered with Asus to bring Playstation Mobile to Asus devices. Though with the Nexus 7 being the official Google tablet it only makes sense really. I look forward to playing Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Driver, Syphon Filter and MediEvil on my Nexus 7 in the future :D

It was also said that if you buy something on one device it will be available to ALL your PS certified devices, for anyone out there who has a Sony phone or a PS Vita or for some reason, one of those unfortunately horrible looking Sony tablets ><
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
Haha sounds awesome. Do you have a link where we could read more?
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I wonder if it will apply to the Nexus 7 though. It's really a Google device manufactured by ASUS.
[Nexus 7 General] DroidDavi:
Would there be a benefit to this over a emulator?
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
The game would be likely optimized for our devices. I don't think tegra3 optimized, but updated for newer more powerful processors. So the same game should run better natively than on emulator. But FPse emulator with open gl plugin looks great.

Looking forward to this partnership. Almost positive this includes nexus 7 also. Since its made by Asus. Being partnered with Google doesn't negate that.
[Nexus 7 General] DroidDavi:
I get what your saying. Hopefully they don't cost a arm and a leg
[Nexus 7 General] lilphil240:
You mentioned cross compatibility, does this include the PS3?
[Nexus 7 General] shinzz:
Don't get too excited...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Mobile_games

And it is still under "beta" stage... sort of......

And it is mostly 1st generation games... or possibly up to "some" PS2 games down the line... although, some original "titles" for PS Mobile could be interesting...

But if you are looking for PSX games... I think you will be better off with FPSE emulator.
[Nexus 7 General] dgattenb:
My xperia. S is playstation certified, all i get is ps1.games. I would not think that we are gonna get ps3.games!
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I don't think the Nexus 7 is getting this at all. Looks like it's just for the Transformer tablets...

Lets hope you don't have an Xbox, as their security breach was much bigger, cost alot of people REAL money, and Microsoft have just been keeping quiet about the problem.

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/02/26/xbox-live-accounts-still-being-hacked/

At least Sony were honest and upfront about it, yet the press still raped them over it. Nobody ever lost any money or details on the PSN hack, it all turned out to be blown out of all proportion. There was no CC fraud, Sony never stored CC numbers, and no rise in identity fraud was ever seen as a result of it.

( we all know the hidden agenda - American press pushing the American console).
[Nexus 7 General] nakedninja42:
Thank goodness I don't store my CC on Xbox as well. Security breaches happens all the time, thats not the point of this thread. I was just stating that I have not tried any of the games yet because I don't have one on file. I do see that PSN has redeem vouchers like Xbox, so I might get one so I could get some games.

Okay I have look and seen all the info on this problem, however I have tried all of it and I'm still unable to see my SD card. I tried installing different Recovery's and different Roms, many different combo's, still nothing. Yes I did wipe EVERYTHING many times before each step. I am S-off and running Team Venom presents:ViperRez 1.0.3, and TWRP 2.2.0 for Rezound 7/12/2012 UPDATE recovery. I also got a new cord and thought it was bad again and took it back and got a new one and still nothing. I also have all the settings right for it to see my sd card. I have also plugged my son's htc Incredible 2 into the computer and it see's it just fine, so I know the drivers are there. Any help would be great, Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Is the option to have it set to disk showing up on your phone? does windows attempt to install drivers? try installing htc sync, then uninstalling it. the drivers will be left behind.

Yes I have it set to Disk, No windows doesn't attempt to install drivers( there already installed ), and I know because if I hook up my son's Incredible 2 it sees the SD on it.

Now I have updated to the new RUU and installed my recovory and installed my rom "ViperRez 1.0.3", everything run's fine. I still can't see my SD cards when I pug into the computer. Do I still need to flash the "Update Patch"?
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
No need for the patch. Actually, you mentioned you were on the .10 leak earlier. If you ran that leaked RUU, you didn't need to flash the patch a while back. It was never clear that you were on GB firmware. :confused:

Anyway, to eliminate recovery, custom rom questions. Flash the new OTA RUU again and check things out in the completely STOCK setup. If you can't see the card then, and you are sure the drivers are installed, then I'd have to think you've got a hardware problem. Remember, check it out in a completely stock setup. :D
[HTC Rezound] Poolman1:
Yes I did check it out after I ran the New RUU, and I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them. I still couldn't see the SD card's.

[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
7 hours off fully charged battery since the upgrade completed, and down to 10%. Anyone else with battery life issues since receiving the OTA?

edit: phone temperature also runs very hot now since the update-- Gingerbread was quite a bit cooler to run.
[Motorola Droid 4] mattvirus:
I briefly ran the 217 OTA build before installing safestrap and rolling to a Cyanogenmod image.

I noticed that my phone was MUCH hotter than it had been while running the older GB-based rom -- however, I can't comment on the battery life itself.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I've been running .217 leak for a few weeks, and found that if you have a lot of MP3s on an SDcard, the phone will run really hot while it builds the MP3 database.
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
It does indeed run much hotter with the screen on. Are you experiencing heat issues with Cyanogenmod, or was it only under the 217 OTA?

edit: added quote for context
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
Was it a one-time or some-time thing, or was the phone constantly hot? Did you remove any of the files, or was there a workaround to prevent building the database?
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
It's been stated that initially expect very poor battery life immediately after upgrading to ICS and I would expect heat to be another factor as the CPU is in constant use updating all the new databases, sync'ing etc...that is going on.

(stated in the Motorola soak test forums to expect this).
[Motorola Droid 4] jimmyhawk:
+1 its expected. I always try to give new roms/updates at least 3 or 4 days to smooth itself out. Especially when upgrading from cupcake to froyo to gingerbread to ics.......
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
Mine ran hot for a day. The next day I restarted it and haven't ran hot for a while.

Sent from my XT894 running ICS
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Yeah it should be better after a couple of three days. I can get 14-16 hours on network and 25-30 hours when on steady wifi.
[Motorola Droid 4] mattvirus:
It ran quite hot in the 217 OTA itself. Once I flashed over to cyanogenmod, it got cooler and has been running at roughly the same temperature as when i ran the GB rom.

I have very few MP3's on the SD card. It's actually the card from my old D1 and mostly has nandroid and titanium backup data on it :)
[Motorola Droid 4] patrickdk:
Odd, I haven't noticed any increase in heat, battery life is still good for me.

Upgraded OTA on monday, so 2 days now. I have a 32gig sd card, and the internal sdcard and the 32gig are loaded full of mp3's, a few videos, and titanium backups.

I want to say battery life is better than normal. But I believe this is only due to fixing a few issues over the weekend with misbehaving apps.
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
Alright, it's been four days and battery life still sucks-- the phone is now only charging to 60% capacity, and phone spontaneously reboots, runs hot and apps still crash... and then I read that V217 OTA is halted due to "software issues"-- what recourse do I have? I don't pay "insurance" (which works out to the price of a new phone in 2 years). Will VZW address or swap the phone given that this power issue and phone instability was due to software upgrade they prompted on the phone?
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
Strange... Powered off the Droid 4 before bed and plugged into charger. Woke up and it was at 100%. Powered on, rebooted into safestrap/cwm and wiped cache, Dalvik, and battery stats. Rebooted and left it on charger, in case of quick drain again.

Will see if wife still experiences issues during her day. If so then this is most likely software or OS issue and after I get home from work I'll have to try backup and FXZ to see if a clean OS and gradual install of apps / restore some old data resolves the issue.

Step 1 is hunting down D4 FXZ threads on XDA and checking what's involved.
[Motorola Droid 4] BPMOmega:
I've been finding that the battery life and heat has improved for me since installing the OTA. I came from stock, rooted, Gingerbread 219. For the past month or so, I had been noticing that my phone was getting very hot just by charging it (could be due to some app that I couldn't narrow down), but that stopped after the ICS OTA.

Additionally, after the last GB OTA, I noticed that the keyboard lighting would shut off even in complete darkness. That also seems to be fixed with the ICS OTA.
[Motorola Droid 4] silverfang77:
I've had a couple of interesting issues since I updated this morning. First, my media files on my microSD card "disappeared" in that My Gallery no longer displayed pix and vids on the microSD card and Winamp couldn't find any of my MP3s. A reformat of the card seems to have fixed it, for now.

The other issue is that the battery seemed to drain much more quickly than it did when I had Gingerbread. I hope what was said here about that being the case for about the first day or so is true. I would hate to think that this is the nature of ICS.
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
Didn't do the FXZ / destructive reinstall yet; was doing some more investigation last night-- phone was draining about battery 10% every 10 minutes. The only two things showing under Settings-->Battery were Screen at 60% and Media com.motorola.android.omadrm at 40%. Rebooted, set to charge before bed and now this morning I see other items listed under battery: Android System, Android OS, Mail. Phone is now at 80% battery running on battery for the last 30 minutes. When the screen goes off and I turn it back on, I sometimes see "Battery Extender" flash in the status bar.

Did an

adb reboot bootloader

to get to the bootloader. Then did a

fastboot devices

and saw that the phone was listed. Launched RSDLite and flashed the fxz xml.zip file and all seemed well...

phone started up, there was a little android icon with gears spinning inside of it and a progress bar crossing. phone rebooted again, "optimized" android applications, and finally came back to the same system as before-- nothing got wiped. I guess I'll have to do a Settings/Privacy/Factory Reset to get an actual wipe.

Rather than doing a wipe, debating setting up safestrap, going to the safe partition and installing an alternate ICS ROM.

Before going that route at all, there are 27GB of about 7000 mp3 files on the external SD. I'm going to pull the external SD and see how battery life is first.
[Motorola Droid 4] vprasad1:
No battery benefit after pulling out the external SD card; still about 10% battery drain every 10-15 mins.

Did the Settings/Privacy/Factory reset-- currently at 30% drain in 120 minutes. Seems improved, but this is also without the external SD in the device.

Saw a few different things in forums, including searching through some of the alternate ROMs for D4 and looking at some of the Razr ICS upgrade battery issue complaints:

--some said they were having battery issues until doing factory wipe and then reinstalling apps from Play Store without restoring old data

--some said there was something stuck on their external sd that required a full re-format and then restoring data back to the external sd which returned battery life to "normal"

--others said that media indexing is taking place and to give it a few days (seriously? is there no way to disable this or uninstall whichever application is doing this??? the wife said she wouldn't mind scrolling through folders rather than having fully indexed media by artist/album/genre)-- And she raises the valid point, "It used to work fine before!" What changed between Ginger Bread and Ice Cream Sandwich to require this much indexing and what's the fix for it given that people can't return back to GB? Which QA engineer at Verizon/GoogleRola thought it would be a good idea to release an update with this massive issue? Is the intent to discourage people from listening to their locally stored music and to have them rely on data plan intensive "cloud services"? Is there some application that can do the indexing on a more powerful machine like a PC and then upload the indices / export databases to the phone?
