As we all go through the two year mark with MS and their new os, I have to say I think they are finally running out of creativity. Before you blast me, I'm an MCp, MCSE and MVP holder. I beta test and was on GUI team for Windows 7. That being said, Windows 8 is utter disappointment. It marketed as a cellular screen more or less which will coax the consumer into buying touch screen monitors. The stability, especially with DPC Watchdog bsods is insane due to false positives stopping data execution. Am I being harsh pre rtm? No! I think windows 7 shall live on. In the great words of Peter Griffin "that is all". Teehee

Ps - 2 ,6 packs of microbrewery but just uninstalled 64bit developer preview and restored 7 64bit

[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
what? I am not sure what your saying but yes windows 8 isn't much diff but its faster more stable has better hardware support my 16bit installers now work on 64bit version so I can dump my vm (that said I cant run ad in 32bit mode so exchange 2003 tabs are gone so i still need something). Also what do you mean pre RTM??? RTM has been out ages now i am using it right now in my place of work as an infrastructure engineer.
[Windows 8 General] ka-la:
RTM has been released quite a while ago you know....

Im sure it is totally fine on my upcoming Surface Tablet but on desktop I agree the metro doesnt really work all that well (using RTM and cant remember when I last saw metro start screen).
[Windows 8 General] mikeeam:
I dont get the problem with Metro. Its just a START screen. You dont need to stare at it. Open the desktop and be happy.

In windows 7 you used the Start menu as a "launcher". Do the same with start screen. And search is a LOT better.

Indeed, it fits better with touchscreen. But it is not worse than Windows 7 at any rate. It's a lot more stable, faster, and reliable.

Let him be it... he's just looking at his side, its normal from selfish people.
[Windows 8 General] rast4man:
From selfish people? That's a stretch. I had a few beers in me and got tired of the crashes on 8, namely dpc watchdog so I am running it in vm and doing benchmarks vs 7 so ill have some data to back up my selfish opinions. :confused: ill report back what machines and tests and see what I come up with and yes I was wrong about rtm I meant I was using dev preview. Oops how selfish of me. *sigh*

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
I wasnt sure where or even if I should post this :confused: I normally use V.5 as a daily driver but I wanted to try the latest Hydracore OC kernel with latest JB Paranoid Rom. Everything was cool on ParaJB, as it has been in other test drives, except that I kept losing root whenever I flashed Hydracore, and I know thats been reported many times but I couldnt fix it and I started thinking that it might have something to do with the way the PreRooted gb roms are rooted. No idea but anyway heres what I did:

I wasnt sure if I should flash try to SuperSu .96 from CWR to regain root (I think that I should have) so I started over and downgraded to gb via PC Odin using a pre rooted GB rom. I booted, confirmed root then flashed JB Paranoid 2.1 from recovery, booted and updated superuser in market and updated to latest binary in app.

So I try Hydracore again now that I updated the binary confirmed root GB to JB, but I lost root again with HydraCore so I was thinking, based on what i had read, that I probably messed up with Superuser but letting the market update it every time and that I should have downloaded and updated the binary with SuperSu instead. I really dont know why I didnt do that in the first place but I do that carelessness can get you into trouble.

So I flash the pre rooted GB again in PC Odin but this time I get into a bootloop and I cant even boot recovery...soft bricked? Tried to flash it in PC Odin a few more times, its flashing fine wo errors but no change no loop, its just stuck on N7000 logo.

I went back into download mode and did the standard download a stock gb rom, hope 4 the best procedure. This time it got further, it actually played the music, which I took as an encouraging sign that stock recovery would work & it did (I was a little nervous but I worrry 2 much) so I wiped cache, factory reset and finally booted, finally.

I still have no idea what happened and I still have to re-upgrade but I don't anticipate any issues with that. I guess this time I will try to install SuperSu from market before I flash HydraCore and/or flash .96 via CWR afterward I lost root and then Triangle Away.

...I must have flashed a thousand Roms, (counting other devices) but I cant remember ever losing the ability to charge. Only now do I realize why it always says have at least 50% charge, you really dont want to try flashing wo a lot of juice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] annie42:
OC version of hydracore is not stable for all Notes. Try to reflash everything from Odin, use Speedmod
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] glevitan:
Well I am glad that your phone is back to life. In your post I can not see that you have made a full wipe between flashes (GB and the custom rom). Maybe a wipe cache and dalvik could have helped. As you were already told, Hydracore OC version is not for all devices and might behave ramdonly so try to flash the Standard version of it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
iam pretty sure that I got tge wipes right but yea it wasnt a huge deal just strange

You don't want to wipe after you replace supersu either BC then you will lose it right and it will cause some sort of binary issue, is that even possible?

So I am pretty sure it was in fact an issue w supersu vs superuser

BC I am now once again using hydracore 3.4 OC group B wo issue (and its GREAT btw i love it) on paranoid v.5 w full root rights retained...but i dont think i csn factoryvl reset now wo losing root unless I first tell superuser to update ot bibary and retake control of root from Supersu then uninstall Supersu, or something like that, I haven't experimented enough to know what's what

So if u want to flash hydracore u just have to update supersu after you flash paranoid and probably any other Rom thats includes Superuser

From what I have gathered, if you download and update the binary from with SuperSu it replaces super user (as there can only be one at a time) I've found, at least on paranoid rooms, that if before you switch kernels you need to let supersu become the primary root binary and then flash hydracore you will retain root rights...messing around with the wrong binaries or perhaps having 2 might have messed up things when I went back to pre rooted GB and couldnt boot recovery, so I had to go back to stock

Hopefully this helps somebody who might have similar issues

Hi, I've got a very big problem.

After not having used the tf101 during some months, I decided to upgrade it to ICS. But when I pluged it on, I had an red exclamation mark on the battery icon and the sign 0%. When I try to charge the tablet and the dock, it stays the same. And when I put off the charger on the tablet, it shuts down on the spot. Do you know what happened? Is my battery dead? Is it a soft problem which could be resolved by flashing to another rom? I'm lost. Thx for your help
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirioko:
Start by posting in the right forum and wiping your battery stats
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andros11:
Try charging it for 10 minutes, then disconnect it for 1 minute, and then plug it again for another 10.

Continue this cycle until hopefully it starts charging again. It is as if the tablet locks itself from charging when it reaches such critical levels of battery.

It sounds like your battery is totally empty. Lithium ion batteries don't like being discharged fully. You may have to trickle charge it via USB for a few hours before it starts holding a charge. Once it holds a charge, you can charge it normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swagooo:
I just got a nice deal on the Galaxy Nexus which included the Samsung Multimedia Dock which has HDMI output.

I connected my HDMI cable and docked my phone but while playing XviD files only the audio comes through and not the video. The TV just shows a blue Android guy and thats it.

Anyone know of a work around for this problem?

I tried different player apps and nothing worked yet.

I can play videos from the Play store through HDMI just fine, it's my own video files that I have trouble with.

Appreciate the help! :good:

So far encoding the file to a compatible format with HandBrake has made it work. This is a pain though. Must be that the Dock doesn't support some encoding profiles/formats.

Either he's being sarcastic or he's just wants attention. The iPhone 5 is behind in hardware. My brother is an iPhone users but not one of the idiots who just buys an iPhone because of the name. My brother and I always talk about the differences in our phones and he knows that iPhone is behind in the hardware department. Apple makes good products however they know they have a leash on majority of it's users who will follow them like lemmings off a cliff. Many people who buy iPhone don't even know what they are buying. It's more of a status symbol, a fad, a bling, whatever you wanna call it. Personally I don't care if you're getting an iPhone. You're succumbing to Apple's tactics and you will keep buying inferior phones cause they know they got you hooked. I could go on and on about it. Just don't let the door hit you on the way out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
The bar I go to [too often perhaps but that is another story] had a bunch of peeps that iphones. Now I don't think but only one has a crapple. They all jumped ship to Androids and like them much better. Regardless if the OP is honestly enthusiastic about it more power to him/her.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] amageus:
The OP is entitled to do as he wants. He wants the iPhone5 then so be it. I'm pretty sure most of us don't care and posts like these aren't necessary. It's pretty much like waving a piece of meat at a bunch of hungry wolves. This post is really going to get nowhere. GL with that iPhone5 and be prepared to stand in line for hours. My brother did that last year and he's smart enough to preorder this one this time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zoompastu:
I figured they were sarcastic but you never know. As far as the iPhone goes it is a solid, easy to use phone for people that aren't in to messing with phones. They can check there email, listen to music, put it on an iPod dock, play Angry Birds and of course make phone calls. My wife has one and has a hard time using my Bionic on ICS. Another issue that some people have is that they buy and android phone and its Junk from the get go. There are dozens of different makes and models on all the different carriers and and you buy a crappy device it can taint there taste for android cause they think ALL the android phones are bad like theres. Apple has one solid phone that is the same on all carriers. I have a friend that had a Droid 2 and now has a HTC Thunderbolt. He IS getting the iPhone 5 because of all the bad experiences he's had with the HTC. He has never used ICS or JB which I believe is the BEST thing to happen to an Android device.

I LOVE macs. Always have. I have a Mac Mini that I run OSX 10.6.8 and Windows 7 Professional on. It gives me the best of both worlds. I won't knock the iPhone, but with the solid hardware that is coming out and the vastly improved OS's like ICS and JB I think Google is on to something...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
Honestly, the iPhone 5 looks like a decent buy. Their app store is bigger, albeit their dev community is smaller and the platform is very limited, but I would really like a device that just works. No rooting to fix a touchscreen lag issue. No workarounds. No more praying for an OTA from someone. Apple releases a new version of the OS, then everyone gets it. It's a nice concept. I've been a massive android fan since before the G1 was released. I loved all of the concepts they employed. However with OS fragmentation, major differences in hardware, and a general stab in the dark effort at fixing bugs from Moto, I think it's time to move on and accept that I have to use an inferior device to be satisfied with the functionality of the phone I'm slated to have for years to come.

Unfortunately this also means I'm gonna be paying full price for the device, since I want to retain my unlimited data.

The Bionic is my first smart phone. I am quite happy with it even on GB 2.3.4. Yes, there are a few problems and looking forward to ICS. But I will always be a Droid guy. I love to tinker with my phone "outside the box" without someone restricting my interface with the operating system. I have control issues. Hence root.

A buddy of mine is an iPhone nut. Converted to all Mac. Swears by mac devices. He is not a person who wants to tinker. He is happy living "inside the box".

The nice thing about mac devices is that the devices integrate with each other very well all on their own.

Just that I want the capability to choose what software to use. And what software to remove. This a mini PC with more functions, that is all. I can buy any laptop or computer, or build my own computer. Remove or install any software I choose. The same should be for my phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mbeutler:
I really hope all the buzz I've been reading about Google acquiring Motorola and influencing some much needed updates levels the playing field between Android and iOS. The sad truth is most people can't think for themselves and a product (iPhone) that always works and stays consistent is going to sell much better than Android ever will in its current state. I work in IT and even people who think they want the freedom Android offers have no idea how to use it once they get it. If it wasn't for the god awful business support, or lack thereof, in iOS, I'd be recommending iPhones to all my clients. From my experiences, Android's greatest selling point right now is how seamlessly it integrates with Exchange and VPNs. If Google can bring all the hardware manufacturers on the same page and update cycle, iPhone won't stand a chance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Son et Lumiere:
The iPhone is a downgrade. Everyone is brainwashed with the iPhone just works and is premium horse****. iPhones have problems too and more than half of the ones I see are smashed and broken, not to mention essentially just app launchers. People are too dumb to realize it because they're mesmerized by the horse and pony show that company has perfected.

I don't know about any of you but my Bionic "just worked" out of the box.
