Yes, this is a good point.

Any solid state memory does not benefit from defragging. In fact it shortens the life since flash memory only has a limited number of rewrite cycles so moving data around just uses up rewrite cycles. Mechanical HDDs are the only thing that benefits from defragging.

sorry if it is considered necroposting (since it is less than half a month from last post).

It is really disturbing to still see apps like Android Defrag Pro still up on the Play Store being sold at 12.72 SGD.

I am very very disappointed at Google leaving things like that up despite reporting it.. This isn't exactly new news as several sites have called it out as a scam.

Hay so i cracked the defrag apps and did some run test i ran the defrag on my tf300t around 20 times in a row it always gave me fragmentation files and random reports i have emailed google to report the scam

First time here after wasting some time wandering elsewhere... and your note on the uselessness of defragging SD cards IMMEDIATELY gave me the info I needed! Heh, I used to defrag my drives/disks all the time back in the 1980s/90s, so I just assumed that when I erased about 30% of the pics on my little card that defragging it would help it free up a lot of extra space that would otherwise be lost. Evidently not!

You may or not know Rayman Jungle Run is coming to android, however it was delayed due to technical difficulties (I'm sure Apple is paying developers to delay apps...). Kinda like Asphalt 7 and just like Asphalt 7 it got leaked working fine. So I got a copy I found on google, google it. ;)

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
i really want to buy this game. but like Marvel: Avenger alliance, it's being delayed...

the only problem i see with this mobile version, is that it's not free movement like the console version. it's a continuously-running game - like Temple Run but side-scrolling. is this true? ie. you can't stop, turn around, etc... you can only jump or slide or crouch...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
Yes this is true, the controllers are... well... There isn't really any controls. You just tap the screen when you're ready to jump, it's all about timing in order to collect all the fireflys (I think that's what they are. xD) It's great fun, I'll buy it when it's out.

You're right about Avengers, and Wild Blood. Like I said, Apple probably pays them. :/

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simongaiteiro:
Hi all!

I've bought a Nexus 7 for my mom.

Now I've installed Dice player in order to play video files such as .mkv with subs. And, it actually works pretty well.

But then I noticed that, once it's been installed, you can open 'Google Play Movies' and open a video file with the video player you've installed (Dice Player in my case). If I do so, the file opens but it plays slow. The thing is that I would like to use Google Play Movies because it seems easier for my mom (and it looks very good IMHO).

Summarizing, I can watch videos fine if I open Dice player but I cannot watch videos properly if I open the file with Dice Player through Google Play Movies.

Any ideas how to fix this?

PD: It's a Google Nexus 7 vanilla, I mean not rooted or with another ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon33:
Try clearing default in settings-apps-dice player. Or even clear the data there besides clearing default. Then open Google play movies again and see if it will ask you again for a player you want to use as default.

Hello.

I wanted to flash a new ROM on my SII. So i started Recovery and wanted to mount usb storage to copy the rom to sd.

I noticed that usb storage doesn't work, so i removed the battery and the sdcard and plugged in the card to my PC.

After copying the ROM on my sd card, i reinserted the sd card and wanted to start the SII, but nothing happens.

Download Mode, Recovery Mode, normal boot - nothing works. There is absolutely no reaction. The displays stays black.

Interesting: If i charge the SII, the SOC gets warmer.

Can somebody help me?

So what exactly do you want to do ? Am i right in saying that you want full access from your PC to your tab via USB ? From what I have worked out it doesn't work like that with our tabs as the set permissions wont let you. Or have it got it wrong ?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralicious:
Sorry, I don't understand why it's better. I just bought a Tab 2 and when I hooked it up to my pc I could see the folders and files and copy music and videos to it. I was going to hook it up again now to see if it's about getting into system files or something, but I'm exchanging it later today and I already did a factory reset.

Is it something to do with modding system files, rooting and flashing files that's easier with it? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm new to the Tab and rooting and flashing on my phone (Rezound) is so completely different than this, I'm still absorbing everything and trying to understand it all before I do anything with a Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PYCON:
Simple... MTP permits u to copy to / from video, music, photo... files. Finish.

USB Mass Storage gives u the total permission of copying files but also... format partition, defrag, open files directly from the device, etc etc. :D

First of all a huge thanks to Sextape for the FI25 release. Thanks to Calkulin for use of the install script. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU.

Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock FI25 with latest root (SuperSU), su binary and Busybox 1.20. These Do Not include a kernel.

There is a version for no data wipe and data wipe. Make sure you don't get them mixed up.

All of the zips wipe cache and dalvik for you so no need to do that separately.

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

Also note that if you are using Agat's FH13 or FH23 stock repacks, do not flash the data wipe zips. It will not boot. For some reason those kernels can't be wiped or factory reset.

[HTC One X] junialum:
Hi all,

The Verge reported that other Android devices may have the same issue as the S3 did (Samsung has pushed a patch out).

http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/26/3412432/samsung-touchwiz-remote-wipe-vulnerability-android-dialer

Based on the article above, there is a link to a page that you can load it on your browser and test it. Loading this page on your desktop/laptop won't help.

Load it on your mobile browser:

http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php

If your device is susceptible, the page triggers your phone dialer and displays your IMEI number.

On my

One X, Sense 4.1 with Android 4.0.4, the device is still susceptible

. Apparently, HTC needs to update the dialer software to fix it.

You can read more about it here as well as look up some makeshift solutions:

http://dylanreeve.posterous.com/remote-ussd-attack

Let's see how long HTC takes to push out this patch.

========================

These are some key responses for those lazy to scroll through the thread.

leppie and diamant-x informed that the code is available and can be triggered BUT it will require user permission first which reduces the threat tremendously.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
I guess it is our job to bring the awareness to htc
[HTC One X] Michealtbh:
No problem on CM10. Opened the dialer but didn't show imei
[HTC One X] junialum:
I think Custom ROMs will be fine because its quite an easy bug to fix and Custom ROM makers respond very very quickly.

Stock (manufacturer based) ROMs could be another story.
[HTC One X] leppie:
Stock ROM is fine too.

I tested it with the factory format and erase codes last night and they did not work. Things like DIAG's you can still get up.
[HTC One X] IdanK:
Have you tried the link posted on the 1st post of this thread? It tests whether your device is exposed to running codes through the phone's dialer.

Your HTC device was not affected by the reset code that was posted yesterday because it's a Samsung specific code, however, if your device isn't patched for this security breach it can run a reset code that works on HTC devices as well.
[HTC One X] junialum:
I'm on stock ROM as mentioned in the first thread and updated to the latest firmware (2.17).

I also did perform a hard rest 3 days ago (to resolve battery issues).

The One X's latest released stock firmware is susceptible.
[HTC One X] wkd2639:
The reason that no-one is too worried about the HTC One X is because apparently it does not have ANY codes that force a factory reset by dialing a number - hence the worst an attacker can do is make your IMEI number pop up. Personally I cannot understand why anyone ever thought it would be a good idea to allow you to do a factory format by typing a number into the dialer that you didn't have to press the call button to execute :eek: in any case - don't worry - no-one will be tricking you into a factory format of the HTC One X anytime soon.....

[HTC One X] sumeshd:

[HTC One X] diamant-x:
I posted it in the Secret codes thread. The main problem is that samsung provided a built-in code to factory reset without notification, that is a silly programing thing.

HTC didn't, so although we can get USSD codes executed via browser, there's not a lot of problems about it as we won't have our phone erased or something like that.

I tested the codes and recorded it, and nothing happened:

having the same issue, driving me insane. any help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Awdur:
Contrast too high

I recently shattered the screen on my HTC One X and had it replaced (the screen, not the whole handset). Now, like yours, the contrast is too high. Very poor in many, but oddly enough not all, apps. Text messages in particular look washed out. Adjusting the brightness doesn't help, just makes everything flatter :(

I had a go with the Screen Adjuster app, found via another thread. Looked promising but unfortunately it seems that its base line is where your screen is already at, so you can only decrease the contrast rather than increase it :(

I hope someone else can suggest a way of improving the contrast. It's not debilitating when using the phone, just irritating and not as good as my original screen.

Thanks

That is not true

No they are not fused. The LCD and the glass screen are just glued together.Youtube: watch?v=ceHw6mezG60. My guess is that the reseller has in storage only LCDs and gorila glass, and when somebody orders a whole screen they just stick them together and send it to you as a whole. And sometimes they just forget to remove LCD protection before sticking them together...at least this is what I think.
