question

I ve just bought 29eur upgrade from win7 on my netbook LENOVO S10-3T - which is touch based - i have great experience with consumer previews etc, it is not CPU hog like wrote someone before ATOM N550, 2GB RAM and SSD it is the greatest experience i ever had on desktop OS even on such poor CPU. Anyway, SSD brought to life even the WIN7 with some customization.

I have question. I have only 1024x600, but i was able to enable downscalling to cheat the metro UI to bring it to work, i use a lot my netbook on 22" screen so there it will work, but as my fresh bought copy did not finished downloading and install,

i would like to ask you if the downscalling registry hack still works on official release. I will be ready to finish fresh installation in about hour so i will ook after it but when someone has already an advice....

Thanks

Just installed Windows 8 Pro after buying it for $14.99 (easy to get the promo code). I'm sure it will take some getting use to, but for the price it was tough to pass up.

After running Windows update I'm now faced with a black screen & mouse pointer, is there anyway to get to safe mode in Windows 8?

Roland
[Windows 8 General] Rolandh:
I've tried several times, can get as far as logging in then nothing. I'm doing a refresh to she if that helps. I think it might be down to the activator that I had to use for the so called OEM copy of Windows 7 that I bought off of eBay that turned out to be a cloned DVD. If all else fails it's a fresh install of 7 no crack, drivers Win 8.

Can Windows 8 upgrade use the Win 7 DVD to upgrade or does it have to be installed?

Hi guys,

I've owned the SII and SIII so I am familiar with using androids already,

strange problem I'm having. I've got this blue tab that remains on the screen constantly,

its a folder for app shortcuts. I can't figure out how to remove it. Does anyone know how?

Just got this over a week ago, and it's a nice phone, but the bloatware are really cramping my style. I see so many phones, that aren't as good as this, with forums. Radioshack, and cricket, have hobbled this phone to no end! The alcatel website, is weak, at best, and doesn't have USB drivers, or, a PC suite, for it. I would love to get this rooted soon. This phone has some potential. Can someone help?

found root method for alcatel authority

after weeks and weeks of searching i finally found a method that works for this phone its two simple apk files dont know how to direct links but the names of the files are Poot-debug and ministro 2 should just be a simple matter of googling hopefuly this paves the way for custom roms and ics or jellybean on this phone

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tjmethod:
Does anyone have this issue with Viper rom? First off its the best rom ive used. I had updraded from 2.0.0. to the 2.0.2. and died a wipe cache & dalvik before doing so- it was a new insureance replacement. Everything worked well but recently the home screen rosie landscape and lock screen automatic orientation (to include landscape) is not working. I have restarted the phone to make sure both were checked to work and the lock screen worked once doing so but home screen didnt. Now neither has worked. Might anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I use the phone alot in landscape and it no longer works that way at all.

Thanks,

TJ

CaseCrown Bold Trifold Case for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

I thought I'd do a video review for this case for anyone looking into purchasing a folio case for their GTab2.

I'm not a big fan of faux leather folio cases, but I actually kinda like this one. It provides a good amount of protection and was actually designed around the GTab2. Cutouts are provided for everything and it has a nice magnet enclosure.

Check out the video:

[YOUTUBE]o-1ceRElBEs[/YOUTUBE]

Correction: in my video I stated that it was available in RED, but there is no Red option, just BLACK, PURPLE, navy BLUE, and hot PINK

This is my first video review, so, if I missed anything just ask.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Inside the folder DCIM /.thumbnails there is a file .Thumbdata3 of 710MB!

I tried to delete it but it always returns the same size.

I also tried to delete all the photos from the DCIM folder but nothing has changed!

How is it that the file has a size so big?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ArmyAg08:
That's probably the thumbnail data for your pictures. I'm assuming you have quite a few...?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
I deleted all the images.

The folder .thumbnails no contains preview as I deleted everything.

There remains only the file to 711 MB
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
As the first reply already stated, this is a thumbnail file that is generated on the basis of all pictures on your device. Deleting all thumbnails doesn't really help, because the thumbnail cache will regenerate itself. If you want to diminish it in terms of size, you'll have to remove the actual pictures on your device (be it wallpapers, family pictures, Reddit downloads or porn). Only that will lessen the numbers of thumbnails generated and thus the size of this file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
As I said I deleted all the real pictures and not just the thumbnails!

When I open the gallery there is no picture or video!

I also raised the MicroSD to make sure there were no photographs or video to generate thumbnails.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, I see what you mean. I have two, each about 600 Mb, one from 08/07/2012 and one from 19/10/2012. These appear to be the Thumbnail files from the media players.. So until you clear the librarycache from those, they'll keep reappearing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
I also had two files, then deleting all reappeared only one from 711MB! :(

You have lots of photos and videos?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
About 40gb internal, and another 40ish on SD's.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
We are different!

My internal memory 45GB free!

MicroSD removed
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Yes, quite obviously, you are different. Won't get you a Nobel Prize.

Did you clear the media player's data yet? I have device pretty chock full with all kinds of graphics and videos, and on the MicroSD, the thumbnails file is only slightly less than 12 MB.

ShadowLea probably has a lot more.....errrmmm...shadowy material than me, so I dare not compare us directly. ;)

It seems likely though that you just had a lot of material to be indexed previously, and those caches are never emptied, neither are they touched upon a reinstall. You'll need to empty them by hand yourself.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, obviously we're different. :cyclops:

Well... I'm not paying for my Eweka payserver in the spirit of charity. ;) :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
How can I manually clear the cache?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Usually through the settings in the apps themselves.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
OK. So what application should I see? Gallery app or all photos and videos app? (Example QuickPic, Mxplayer)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
All of them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rodxxda:
I had the same problem...my files was 1.6GB. I believe it has to do with thumbnails database off all pictues that have been on your phone or gallery, and even if you delete it, they keep track of the all and then recreates the thumbnails file.

My solution was to create a empty folder with the exact same name of the file, in the same location (after deleting the big file first)...did not need to change permissions or anything, just an plain empty folder with the same name replacing the file. I´ve rebooted several times/took lots of pictures and seems to prevent the file to re-create. Has worked so far.

Hope that helps
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
It seems to work!

Since I created two folders with the name of the file .thumbdata are no longer created the two large files and does not create even the thumbnails!

THANKS

Any abnormalities with your device since? Like opening the camera app, taking photos, accessing Gallery, and FCs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I noticed this type of behavior back with my Motorola DROID. I realized that when I performed Factory resets it would not delete these files off of the SDCard, an I had 4 or 5 of them (when I was trying every ROM under the sun before CM7 was released).

I finally figured out that just deleting them would allow the apps to recreate what they needed - but yeah, some photos that I had moved to a 'hidden' location still had thumbnails showing. I finally figured out what ShadowLea is saying - you have to clear the cache components of the applications themselves and then let them rebuild. From there it is a piece of cake.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PTG:
solved for Galaxy S3

Hello,

I had the same problem on my Samsung S3. The file was allways created with 1,74 GB and growed. when i deleted it by hand it was created a few minutes later again.

Here the solution that worked for me

1) copy file name

2) delte the file

3) create a folder with the filename (not a file!) *

4) take away all possible permissions for this folder (with total commander for andriod for example)

After that my camera and my picture viewer still works fine. the only "problem" i have is that i dont see a preview of my old pictures in the down left corner of the camera app.

*I also tried to create a file with the name and took the permissions from it but it was overwriten by the camera anyway.

cheers!

To big off a phone for my taste. Heck the Note 1 was too big as well. Sweet phone, just can't justify it.

Have another upgrade in family plan, but holding out to see what BB10 is all about.

Till then and for the foreseeable future sticking with this phone for majority of my contract.

Starting to realize besides small hardware differences as well as software, it just isn't worth it.
