Update: Problem came back -> got fixed

Hello Again,

After recently the problem came back, i experimented a little and found out that the problem did go away when i made my nandroid backups in tar format, but came back when i made them i dup format. I think it was the big "blobs"-folder on my ext-sd that caused it.

Just wanted to update this thread, because if someone encountered this problem too, he maybe want to have a look at his Nandoid-backup-format.

MfG,

Strainhunter
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyboi1222:
I am using Note 2 LTE version and I love the popup browser. But here comes a question. Can I set the popup browser full screen to chrome instead of the stock browser? Where can I do the setting?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
I couldn't find a setting for it either, closed source Samsung stuff usually isn't very customizable in this regard.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
Why would you use chrome. It's slower than stock browser and no flash.

Sorry not a helpful reply.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I am about to install a custom rom to my stock Evo 3D that's on Hboot 1.5 and still on Gingerbread (yes I know I have been talking about it for a while now) and since pretty much any and all methods to do so would result in the memory being wiped, I wanted to backup my data and settings (namely all my settings for my apps and savedata for my games) before I did so.

Problem is, I am not aware of any method to do so that doesn't require root.

SuperOneClick is not supported for my phone, and tacoroot would only give me a shell, which I can't run Titanium Backup under.

Is there any way for me to backup my app data without root or gain a temporary root while still being able to use the phone itself so I can backup my data before I wipe it for a custom rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You could try this temp root method.

That post is in the Sensation forum but it says in the OP that it might work on the Evo 3D (untested).

If you try it, let us know how it goes. ;)

Edit: Here's another temp root method for the Evo 3D. It may be the same thing as the link above just repackaged for the E3D. I've never used it myself and can't test it now since I'm currently running ICS and JB ROM's.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Lots of people say its supposed to work on the Evo3D, and there are even some batch files for it designed for the Evo3D, but when I tried to run the fre3vo file I kept getting "The exploit has failed" and the cursor remained as $ instead of #.

I tried three reboots now and nothing, there was also a method called a "perm-temp-root" but the download links are dead so I couldn't try it.

Nobody seems to maintain these anymore because they claim the method is outdated since we have S-OFF now and the last posts are from 2011.... problem is the whole reason I WANT to temp-root is to backup all of my settings and data so I can then use the S-OFF methods and flash a custom ROM to get a proper root, which I can't do without being forced to wipe my data first.

EDIT: Funny how as I was typing that you made an edit about the permtemproot. But yeah, that appears to be the same thing, just repackaged. And what drives me nuts about all the ones I tried with batch files is that they have zero error handling, they just assume the exploit worked and I get a ton of error mesages and apps like superuser that I can't use installed...
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Sorry, I forgot to mention. The tacoroot method actually did work, but it only gives me root access in a CLI through ADB, I can't even use the terminal app with it, so its useless for performing a backup that way. All the other temproot methods didn't work.

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Shponglized:
Uhhh, I'm gonna have to say this is a lost cause, You just gotta lose the data, That's why we root, To be able to backup, Which is why most of us root before doing anything so we don't really lose anything like valuable save data, I don't even move a widget or an icon on a new phone until it's s-off and running the newest version of whatever lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
I got this thing on release day, I couldn't just not use it for like a year until it was finally rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] Shponglized:
I didn't mean that in an offensive manner, But there's no way to not lose your data, Simply unlocking your bootloader erases your data.
[HTC EVO 3D] compOH:
I found some different guides how to flash the EVO 3D to boost but none specifically for my situation, so here's my question:

I have a Kyocera Hydro and EVO 3D, obviously. I want to use my EVO 3D on the boost network, and legally own the Hydro. Is there anyway to do this?

Hopefully this will stay. If it does, thank the mods.

This is a forum for general discussion and OFF TOPIC stuff. Please follow all XDA rules in this thread.

I came from the Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrocket forums and found this to be a great way to share general ideas and hints for mods and development, as well as a way for the developers and users to get to know each other and learn to work together.

Hi folks iam looking for a real nice case for my nokia lumia 800

something like an otterbox what would you folks recomend thanks
[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
I would just use the cover that comes with the 800 if you want one. An otterbox will make the phone unnecessarily ugly. I have been using my 800 for about a year now without a case, and it has been dropped in the road a few times.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mdsharpe:
I recommend the "Airflow" case by "Works With Nokia", you can find them on Amazon. Other than that, the official rubber case is good, and comes in a few colours.
[Nokia Lumia 800] beet87:
The original Nokia is perfect
[Nokia Lumia 800] wawroo:
i recommend one of these

[Nokia Lumia 800] chief:
The original is perfect and needs nothing else.

Pity that I haven't used my case and now my phone looks a little bad on back.
[Nokia Lumia 800] majkel_nw:
Try to use nillkin case, i used this, its pretty good :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] anikptl:
The Original Nokia Lumia 800 case that comes along with the phone is the best. Otterbox is tough but it will hide the beauty of Lumia 800.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
So I own a prototype AT&T play, the bootloader was unlocked but it was still sim lock to AT&T. I used wotan server to attempt to unlock sim but it was a no go (oddly)

Later I read a post where someone used omnious. So i bought some credits and used omnious and it failed repeatedly, and the error it was giving was "Bad TA Config".

Now I can no longer get into fastboot, everything I do results in a green light instead of blue. Any help?

Side note, I do not have a TA backup for this device.. is this phone permanently screwed?

Also, now when I attempt to use wotan servers unlock tool it says " No IMEI found"...

He reply quicker if you ask him on Gtalk.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I should probably clarify, I had fastboot access prior to this issue. Bootloader was unlocked and I had fastboot access, only the sim was still locked. However as a result of attempting to unlock the sim (as it was a prototype AT&T did not have a unlock code for the sim) my IMEI number for this phone is gone, and will not power on and will not enter fastboot mode.

I PMd alejandrissimo but have not had a reply.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Alejandrismmo has a site where you can unlock bootloader (you pay first). The real question was the prototype working on at&t service before. Your xperia play might be a barebones phone (nonserviceable).

unlock-bootloader.com/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I received photos on request from the seller, very reputable on eBay. The images were time stamped for 5 minutes after I emailed him and showed it powering on, powering off, and several photos of homescreens and apps, all showing AT&T in the top right.

Will the unlock-bootloader.com fix my phone bad TA file? Currently it shows up as no IMEI # in several softwares.. and again will not power on or access fastboot.. despite having this before..

Edit: I as on the site you provided earlier and fixing a bad TA is listed as "contact us"....... which I have both through the site and through PM and a gtalk chat invite

Google have launched a new beta channel for Chrome Android, the new version is now 25.0.1354.8, it is available on the Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta

Just done a few tests, in Sunspider it is now as fast as ASOP browser, but scrolling can still be janky, compared to stock Jelly Bean browser, which is disappointing. Try using www.theverge.com, IMO ASOP is still smoother, I now this is beta, but seriously Google please do not release Chrome v25 and still be less smooth than stock browser.

[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:
For some time I been thinking about getting a Nexus7, but thought if I got the 10 I would have a bigger screen as well as more features, but I also want to be able to pocket it and take it with me everywhere more easily, so will choosing the 10 for better specs or going 7 for portability be better?
[Nexus 10 General] lidzhet:
Google Nexus 7

For comparison about this, you can check out YouTube channel named "oode". He has been doing some comparisons about Google Nexus 7 and Google Nexus 10 in term of gaming, browsing experience, hardware, software and anything. It's really worth checking out though. His videos are HD quality. The owner of that channel is also polite to viewers, you can ask him anything and he will be more than pleased to answer your questions quickly.

I think Google Nexus 7 is a great choice if you intend to use this tablet on the go. But Google Nexus 10 is also tempting if you will use this device mostly in your house. All Android apps, whether it's well optimized or not, will run perfectly on Google Nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] aikitim:
If I didn't have my galaxy s3 I probably would have gone with the Nexus 7, but I LOVE my nexus 10. It's beautiful. Does everything I expected and more more more. It feels well made and I am very happy with it. The size is the same as an iPad and its easy to put in a bag, carry with you on a plane, etc. You may not think 3 inches is a big difference but its a huge amount of real estate from 7 to 10 inches.... so it wont go in your pocket... but will a 7" tab really go in you pocket?
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
The portability of the Nexus 7 is nice, but I don't really have too much of an issue carrying around my Nexus 10 either (laptop bags are nice).

Main thing that makes me like the 10 over the 7 is the rear-facing camera; never realized how nice it was to have one until I got the Nexus 7 (my previous tablet before that was a Galaxy Tab 7)
[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:

hmm I heard the feel of the 7 has a soft rubber that makes it easy to grip while the 10 has a hard smooth plastic?
[Nexus 10 General] nikufellow:
i've never had hands on experiences with nex 10 but have a nex 7 and can confirm that its easy to grip and super portable ! like others mentioned if you can sacrifice a bit on the portability side of things then go for nexus 10 hands down !
[Nexus 10 General] dajogejr:
Is price an issue? For 250 A 32 GB 7 is hard to beat. My boy has the 7, I'm on the 10.

We both had HP touchpads prior. I knew I wanted the 10. For work and play I need the real estate.

He was weary of playing games on a smaller screen. A week later he is still telling me every day...I love my tablet.

Either is a winner... Cost and size should be your deciding factor...
[Nexus 10 General] robrob777:
I own the nexus 7 and I love it, I gave away my ipad 3 bc i was not using it after i got the n7. I was bored this afternoon so I went to staples to see and probably buy the N10.

Honestly I was disappointed, physically it doesn't look too nice , the screen is sharp but color saturation is bad, black are not black, N7 has much better blacks. Testing the performance, i opened chrome and went to the verge, it lags, and after 30 secs browsing, the tablet completely froze.

Honestly right now there is no better 10 inch tablet than ipad 4. All android 10inch flagships have problems.
[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:
bugs :(

That is also another thing that I heard, that the ten has bugs and isn't as compatible as the 7, well I would like the nice size for playing my HD games and doing some questionable browsing, the 7 seems more stable in its updates. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the 7 almost always in stock while the 10 is not?
[Nexus 10 General] brGabriel:
Keep in mind that the Nexus 10 is still brand new, so I expect many of the bugs will be addressed in future updates or by our dev's themselves. As far as the N10 not being in stock, again, its brand new and released right before the holiday season so the demand was higher than the supply. However, I was able to walk right in my local Walmart the day after Christmas and pick up a N10 32gb. So, you can find them if you look around a bit.
[Nexus 10 General] SithDagger:
Yes it will, I fit mine into my coat and pants pockets all the time, it works great.
[Nexus 10 General] edirector:
Try the Note 10.1 I have them both. I agree the screen is not as great as I thought it would be with the extra pixels for the N10. The processor is still good, the apps and functionality can be eventually worked out, might be software related. The resolution is and size is new. iPad has had its issues too with connectivity--wifi, Bluetooth, overheating & screen bleeds. Note 10 however works great, I mainly use it for productivity. It is a computer and have trouble seeing it as an entertainment device that's why I got the N10 to separate work from play. No complaints about the Note 10 at all, I got more than my money's worth. No screen bleed, overheating, connectivity problems or lag. I only wish Samsung would put out firmware that will allow end users to hook a 1TB or more hard drive to it to catch the work flow. N10 can only get better with each software update.

"Is that a Nexus 7 in your pocket or you just happy to see me?" ;)
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
I've got the Nexus 10 and also got Nexus 7's for my kids. I've used the 10 extensively and spent quite a bit of time with the 7 as well. Love them both. I use the 10 for work as well as play, and the size is important to me in order to use it for work purposes. The 7 is fantastically convenient for media consumption, web browsing, games and social media, but would be cramped for content creation or sharing a PowerPoint deck with a client. They are both superb tablets. The 10 fits my particular needs, but the 7 is incredibly portable. In the end, choosing its personal, based on your particular needs and usage patterns.

beamed from my Nexus 10, far, far away...
[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:
Hmm, I might go with the 7 as I consume media like crazy and play random games, not going to be doing much powerpoint :p
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
If u gotta big screen phone go for 10 if not get 7. I love my N10 cuz on the go I have my note 2.
[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:
I only have a wildfire s marvelc, which if you knew anything about is very lacking in internal memory and any form to boost that fails.

So I think we have a winner :)
[Nexus 10 General] robrob777:
I retract my statement, I got the N10 anyway and I got a good one, it looks much better than the display, it looks as good as my N7.

To get away from the freezes on Chrome, I am using CM browser with ipad user agent, full screen and flash.

So far so good.
[Nexus 10 General] GearsGod:
That's good to hear, how much HD apps are their? Are they any good or are they just "BUY ME BECAUSE I HAVE HD AND MY REAL CONTENT SUCKS!" ?
[Nexus 10 General] robrob777:
Not that many, for example facebook looks bad, but it is not a big deal because with this screen I am using the full web version.

Apps like the verge, business insider, redbox look bad but again this is OK because the webversion works exellent.
[Nexus 10 General] Nutsonfire:
I was contemplating getting a Nexus 10 but it's not officially sold where I live so I can got tired of waiting and got a Galaxy Tab 2 10". With the Aokp rom and overclocked it's really fast, it's the same hardware as a Galaxy Nexus after all. I'm really happy with it, I didn't spend much and I know that newer and better tablets will be released soon.

The Nexus 10 is good but it also seems to have a lot of issues that still haven't been ironed out and might never be.
