One thing that you can do is convert the file system to ext4. The stock file system is rfs. I forgot the thread but you need to make a backup and change the rfs to ext4 and change the md5 around. SDXC should work just as an SDHC. No formatting required. I did the ext4 mod to my 5.0 and my quadrent score is now just below 1900

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] FlowBizkit:
Thx in advance.

I put the SDXC in the 4.0 and just formatted it within the the device.

Windows as well as the degvice itself says 59GB (what I expect to be right).

So the ext4 format only increases speed or does it also help for somethign else (file size)?

Are you talking bout the internal format or the SD?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dosdude1:
5.0

The 5.0 has the most custom ROMs, if that's what you're looking for.

fyi, as you can read I already boight a 4.0 or do you mean I can use the same ROMs?

Honestly, I've been using 4.2 for few months now and it's pretty good, but yeah the camera is sorta crap.

It's same price as 4.2 for bigger screen and more battery, but I guess less camera and some other stuff.

Speakers IMHO are great, and yes I use PowerAMP so all my music sounds amazing regardless or Soundalive jibberjabber :)

It's a good device, and I'm thankful that it's rootable now. I might just buy a 4.0 considering how much more support there is for it.

whos using security software and why?

my brother got a N7 (his first android product) and he's all freaked out by the permissions some apps want. i explained that while they seem intrusive, most of them are just trying to access the necessary functions they need to run properly, not stealing your info to send elsewhere..

enlighten me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Security is highly unecessary. As long as your downloading from a trusted source.. if the developer has terrible ratings and its only been downloaded 50 times.. and its some type of porn app.. its gunna be malware. Really just have to use common sense here. If hes seriously concerned or paranoid i would suggest using LBE Security Guard it will monitor the apps that request permissions to things and actively tell you what app is doing what. With Root it will let you remove permissions to certain apps, lets say you dont want angry birds to have access to the internet.. you can do that. It will also rid those stupid ads. :)

All in all IMO its not needed but if hes that paranoid... LBE will be the best bet. Oh and any type of Anti-Virus is a waste of space and RAM.. at least LBE is useful.

I use avast on my n7 just on the off chance but I'm confident what I download and the web pages I visit are safe.

Holy cow.. I thought I was reading satire for a second so I ran to the Play Store and searched for Norton.. IT'S REAL. EL-OH-EL.. WOW and 46k people gave it 5 *'s.. *SMH*.... I laughed when I saw Avast and saw it needs root access to install some firewall crap.. Ironic much???

Anyway.. Yeah.. Security on a phone is really unnecessary. If you are dumb enough to download digital snake oil then you deserve a hard lesson in watching what you download.. Most of the scammy stuff is so blatantly obvious.

I loved swiftp on my previous phone. Now I just got a N2 and noticed the app doesn't exist anymore.

Of course I can download the apk somewhere, but I wondered, are there any other easy FTP apps?

What I want from the app is really simple

-Option to enable/disable it

-Option to show broadcast ip, which I then enter in windows explorer as a network location

-Option to browse SD card of my phone, or whole device (with root)

Is there any app that does this, and NOTHING MORE? I just really want to keep it simple, because that is all I need.

[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Open LG updater, recover phone by imei, then you'll get the latest firmware update available and at the same time your phone will be scanned and repaired. You might have to downgrade baseband before doing this, don't remember it. And you have to re root and flash cwm after the recovery/updater finish :)
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
I'm going to do it. I'll let you know. Many thanks (alchool and women had positive impact on your super skill)
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
No way.

I flashed bb 10D then launched LG Mobile Tool, selected emergency recovery, inserted imei, it updated to 20S but no firmware update and after battery removal date is always 2007.
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
I am on stock rooted ICS, and nearly every time I update apps, if more than one is updating, then it will restart itself. I'm not sure if Lookout antivirus could be causing this with scanning after every install, but I wanted to check.

Also, I want to know about any possible answers as to updating when it stops about halfway on updates, and it waits a while to continue the download?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
Lookout doesn't get along with ICS. It used to cause freezing every time it scanned an app. Its really only useful if you are downloading apps not from the play store.

And updates shouldn't go to 100% it only downloads the specific pieces needed to update.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I can say this, the play store apps update has definitely got some issue post ICS OTA i.e if the screen times out the app update hangs midway, etc etc. only resolution is wait up keeping the screen active until all apps have updated fully. I am using Avast while on GB and even now as well as Apps2SD (SamLu). This is surely a bug.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
I haven't heard of anybody having this problem. I know for a fact mine updates with the screen locked because I set everything to update automatically and I always wake up to at least one notification that something updated successfully.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
See this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32568467#poststop

& as I quoted there I will try and see what occurs if I set apps to auto update. Will not be a permanent thing though cause I don't want update wakelocks sucking the battery & it'll just be to figure out if it'd help.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

OP - Your subject "high CPU usage" does not chime with your actual question about updates of apps. & as I mentioned there is already a thread which I posted in here on the same. FYI
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
I hadn't seen that thread, I'm sorry. You could try disabling auto screen off and see if that changes anything. I've got my battery tweaked out so the wakelocks don't really affect me as much as they should.

My only other suggestion would be to clear play store data and uninstall the updates for it. I generally do that to force it to update, and it may just be an outdated version causing issues. Current version is 3.9.16
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
Okay, so I am definitely thinking that the restarting is due to high CPU usage. It happened after I uninstalled Lookout and installed Avast which also scanned after each install. Now, I tried running a few other processes after I disabled Avast's scan after every install. I can produce the same result: a reboot because of what I suspect to be high CPU usage. It did not do this before the OTA update, so I think it might be somewhat due to the OTA overclocking to 1200Mhz. I might try to underclock it to see if that helps.

I will try messing with the deep sleep stuff too, but it even happens when the screen stays on, so I am not sure if this is the cause.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
No issues and thanks for your helpful inputs, how do I go about clearing the play store data? All I see is "clear search history". The Play store ver what I have is 3.9.16. There are also two settings which are greyed out i.e "Unlock settings" & "use pin for purchases". Don't know if other users have this same as me?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
For clearing Play Store data (or any other application data for that matter) just go to System Settings>manage applications>find Google Play Store>select "clear data option"...

Not yet. RaspberryPi.org have announced 4.0/4.1 is working, but they're waiting to release it until they get audio working properly. So far it's been a few months and nothing. All other projects currently can't access GPU and are slow as molasses.

If you can hold off on getting a smart TV, I think that we'll soon see Android working smoothly on the Pi. Hope this helps!

Actually, those "usb media centers" you're talking about, are full-fledged Android system with it's own processor and chipset. Of course it'll work with Raspberry Pi, as long as it can boot externally from the usb. Fortunately for you, a $79 usb system is already available with specifications similar to Samsung Galaxy S, plus Mali-400MP GPU.

And Smart TVs, are in fact, not dumb. They were made for people who are either very rich moneybags, or people who likes to slack off doing nothing besides looking at the TV. :D

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
You could find a Canadian to pick up one for you and have it shipped over. It would put you back about $700 for a brand new one shipped to you ($600 + $72(tax in BC) + $25 (shipping) + $7(unlock)).

Verizon informed me that their 'world phones' (e.g. their razr series) are sim-unlocked for international use from the manufacturer.

However some people have reported that for AT&T and TMobile (national GSM carrier) that they have blocked their SIM usage.

Therefore I would assume that all bands would be available to use if you had any international SIM in there, Canada and Mexico etc, the only compatibility would be the LTE bands - if another country used the same LTE bands as the USA Razr, then I would think you would be able to utilise the 4g.
