[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
Just wondering if there is such a thing? We all have wifi tablets but i'd love to get an SD card that allowed you to insert your sim card into it that would allow you to essentially have a LTE tablet? a plus would be if it had 32gb of memory also :)

anything like this exists?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
i dont know what came of it but TMoblie here in the UK when they first mentioned their 4g plans said there would be a sim/sdcard (i forget which) that would have a 4g chip and antenna or something in it to make 3g 4g... never heard of it since though
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
An interesting concept, but there's not a single mobile provider who's going to let it pass into retail sales. Because if we could turn our devices into 4G by means of an SDcard, they'd miss out on all the oncome from all of us paying for another new phone/tab.

Also, you'd need a 4G data plan, anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gsxrfl1k6:
Definitely a cool idea, but never heard/seen of one. I was in the AT&T store yesterday, they have an LTE wifi hotspot device that was pretty cool, only 49.00 and would accomplish the same thing...
[Asus Transformer TF700] diablodow:
The TF700 doesn't have any radios for 4g unless your saying those would come in the SD card. I know they make USB sticks that will pick up 3g / 4g (at least I think) so maybe something like that would work
[Asus Transformer TF700] radus1:
Don't count on it. It's more than just a sim to make it work with 3/4G. You need at least an UMTS module and an extra antenna. You should have bought the LTE version instead - you will never get "native" 3/4G on your non-LTE transformer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvka13:
In theory this is possible - there exists an interface that's electrically equivalent to SD, but supports much more than memory cards. It's called SDIO (see wikipedia article, I can't include links). Since the transformer supports 4-bit SD interface, it automatically supports SDIO. The only problem is the drivers.

Here's where practical problems start. The Linux kernel includes very few drivers for SDIO devices. So even if such device exists, Android would not be able to support it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
You've probably solved this by now. I rooted my Evo 4G and use the Cyanomod 7.2 tethering feature. It works great. I use my sd slot for data2sd.

How did you resolve this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] triplepf:
i would love to have one of those
[Asus Transformer TF700] nvan7891:
ibiesio quick

That woukd be kinda cool, but I already pay for the fantastic privlege having (no to barely any) service for my phone (sprint. As someone who switched from verizon to sprint,

DON'T. Huge mistake

). My phone is the reason I dont take my tablet out of the house (where theres wifi) unless im going on a trip. I assume thats how it is for most people, which is why there most likley isn't a massive market for it. I could see it being useful to people who use tabs on the job and travel. Even then, nowadays theres wifi pretty much everywhere. The added security of 4g is a plus, though. VPNs are nice but are often slow and cause issues with google and such.

Good Day to everyone, My phone is Xperia Arc S lt18i, 4.1.B.0.587,

Rooted ,

So my phone now would not boot normally . It only show the Sony logo only not even to the Xperia logo.

Here's the story how I actually got my problem.

Ive installed MIUI anzu.2.9.21.zip and it was a success but after i reboot the phone and VOILA!! a "boot/reboot loop"

if thats what you call it.

Now i cant go to recovery with the power + Volume down method.

And my Root is GONE! i dont know what happened.

IF ANYONE.. ANYONE could help me I would really really really appreciate it.

Thank you for replying immediately, but , after I successfully flashed the 4.1.A.562 I still cant boot up to the stock firmware and I seem not able to root my phone, I mean, I still go through the boot/restart loop (sony logo only) and cant access recovery mode the ( power + Vol down) method.

i used Doomlords toolkit to root it. Tell me where im wrong. Im not so good at this stuff. :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] people211:
I was just thinking about what kind of things the Note 3 would need to make me get it when I'm eligible for an upgrade (feb 2014). The note 2 seems pretty nice and would be cheap or free with an upgrade by the time I'm eligible, but if the note 3 had some insane stuff or was capable of making 3D video, I would probably wait for it.

But the whole 3D thing seems outdated. Maybe because even though it's kind of cool, it really does f#*k up your eyes.

How else could the next note be better besides better internal processor or having a flexible/ indestructible screen?

Above is a link to the latest android rumors, including some specs on the Note 3 as well as the 8 inch Note tablet. I can't even imagine what an 8 core processor is like....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
I run dual quad Xeons in my server at home and unless you're running virtualization on it I can tell you it doesn't make a lick of difference. Most software programs and their OSs aren't optimized to run multiple cores let alone 8 cores. I love new tech but until android optimizes itself for multiple cores, it'll be nothing but bragging rights. Sure JB optimized for better running on multiple cores, but still doesn't utilize them effectively as most developers have no idea how to write multi-threaded applications. One of these days software applications will stay on par with hardware. Heck who here can remember how long we had 64 bit cores before an effective mainstream 64 bit operating system came out? At least 6 years. by then we had dual processors (which OS writers had to accommodate for) and most of us had gotten a new car.

I hope by the time I have an 8 core phone, there's an OS on it that can effectively use it as well as software I can install on it to use it as well.

[HTC Droid DNA] walrus108:
I just did the whole unlock, root, and rom this morning. Luckily, viper Rom just came out and I decided that was the one to try first! Great choice so far.

Only one problem I can find. When I go to settings/about, there is no option for the viper OTA update. It seems like there was a separate download link supposed to be somewhere in post #2, but I cannot find it anywhere. Do I have to flash that separate?

I installed the viperDNA 1.0 and I flashed the dsb kernel. It seems like all the other options, tweaks, settings available all are there and work so I'm thinking that the OTA is something I need to DL and either flash with adb or in recovery. I would have asked this in the Viper thread but I don't have enough post to do that in the dev forum. I have been lurking around this site since my Droid 1 (the orig A855 or whatever), through my Rezound and my daughters GNex, and now I'm loving my DNA. I've just never had to makemany post here since the instructions here are always so thorough!

Anybody got a solution?
[HTC Droid DNA] termin8tor22:
The OTA should be in settings < about < software updates

The check new button searches for a new OTA (there isnt any out yet as its just been released)
[HTC Droid DNA] walrus108:
There is no software updates in 'about'. I'm not sure why I don't have it. All the other Viper tweaks and themes are there and functioning, but my settings screen looks exactly stock, and the about section also has the same options it used to. I'm not sure why this is. In the Viper post, it shows a onex where about is selected, and above the 'help' option there is a 'software updates' option. Mine does not have this.

I followed the instructions perfectly, wiped in recovery and then again in aroma, and flashed the kernel according to directions.
[HTC Droid DNA] tactical kitten:
The software update button is right above about lol
[HTC Droid DNA] walrus108:
I know that! lol

If you watch the animation on the viper thread, it shows a ONEX screen of Viper OTA. It shows settings, then it selects about, and then it shows in the 'about' options, on top above everything else, there is a 'software updates' option that is not there on my phone.

What I'm trying to find out, and I guess not asking too clearly so far, is from someone else running Viper rom, do they have a 'software updates' choice in settings/about/? (like is shown in the viper rom post)

I do have the software update where it normally is. My understanding is that the Viper rom has an extra 'software updates' added in 'about' in order to enable venom to push OTA updates of their viper Rom. I hope I made more sense that time ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
If I go to settings, about, at the very top is software update.

If I go to settings, scroll to About, software update is just above it.

So, do you not have either of those?
[HTC Droid DNA] walrus108:
I have the second one but not the first. My 'about' has help on the top and legal information at the bottom. In fact, my settings page appears stock in every way. It seems tha rom changed everything else but my settings and I'm not sure why. any ideas?
[HTC Droid DNA] walrus108:
Solved!

I got it fixed! I tried all the wipes and nothing worked. I changed to TWRP recovery, did a 'backup & reset' from settings, and everything is as it should be.

FWIW- there may be a problem with CWM recovery not wiping fully preventing the ROM/ROMS from fully working.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Possible, but I use CWM on my phone. Glad you got it figured out.

Anyway, if you have installed an ICS recovery on top of jellybean and you do no have nvflash backups and you cannot enter fastboot then you are hard bricked sorry mate.

Hi,

today I got a early tester/prototype GT-I9100 at work. Problem is that it uses a lock code that no one seems to remember.

I thought that I just put the phone in recovery mode, reset everything to the factory defaults, clear all the caches and call it a day. Nice development Phone for free.

Somehow I am not able to put the phone into recovery mode, I own another SGS2 where I have no Problem putting it into the recovery mode.

Does anyone know if early/prototype models have a special combination to put them into recovery mode?

Thanks a lot,

Ben

If you can get into download mode you can flash Siyah kernel via ODIN. Once you have done that you should have custom recovery enabled.

Hello all i've installed Minimoto v1.7 XT862/XT860 in a Milestone 3 (xt860, personal, argentina) in safestrap and everything went fine.

The problem is i've lost 3g.

It's seems the rom lacks the baseband radio for personal argentina and no internet connection can be established.

It's not an APN issue, tried to load them manually, imported from the stock rom but doesn't work.

Anyone has a way to add basebands (or modify the USA band that only comes with the rom).

The rom works fluid and is very light and the battery is awesome (i cannot tell 3g because never worked, only wifi) but the battery last at least 24 hours using 8-10 hours of wifi aprox.

Thanks in advance

Make those changes to the build.prop file in the system folder of the minimoto rom, copy the 'new' minimoto zip to your phone, wipe and reflash. That worked for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] tomgaga:
Sure its not an APN issue? Have you tried tried mannualy typing in the APN and username and password for your provider? I have Minimoto on a GSM network and it didn't work at first either but then I just added the right APN values that I looked up on the internet for my provider and then it worked.
[Motorola Droid 3] the_linkin3000:
Hi,

All you have to do is install minimoto for the xt860, it's in the OP in the minimoto thread. Then, having wifi turned on, install HiAPN (it's an app to automatically set apn's) from Google Play. Use it to set your apn and you're good to go. I'm using it just fine on Movistar Argentina.

Coming from someone who LOVES bright screens... unless you're nearly blind, there's absolutely no reason why anyone needs to constantly be running their Note 2's screen at full brightness. Auto-brightness is extremely efficient, and if you don't like how the phones native auto-brightness feature manages things, there's many third party apps which can do it better. Full brightness will kill anything on a battery, from a laptop to a cell phone.

Full brightness can cut your screen on time in half. There is no reason to turn off data when connecting to wifi, it's already off. This is android, constantly killing apps will waste your battery even more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kmanblazzer:
Why is that killing apps right after use drains your battery? I have come from iPhone so I thought it would just increase it. Also, since apps are running in the background why wouldn't background apps killing your battery? And if I shouldn't kill them right after use, when should I kill them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
I get a day and a half on full brightness... But not much screen on time.

i'm very pleased with battery life on my device. i'm using a deodexed, rooted stock ATT 4.1.2 ROM, with stock kernel, Power Mode off, brightness set to about 40% and screen mode set to Natural. i don't use task killers, battery managing apps, etc. my usage is mainly email, calls, web surfing and listening to music (when i have time).

on an average work day, i can get 16-20 hours per charge with 6-9 hours screen time, about 150 emails (4 exchange accounts all set to push 24/7) and 35-90 minutes in phone calls. at the end of my average day i'll have 15-25% battery left before it's on the charger again. there are days when my usage is above average and battery life will be lower. fortunately, for me, i have wifi available and strong phone signals where i work. the pictures below are an example of an average workday: 15 hours, with 8 hrs screen time, 62 minutes of call time and there's 31% battery left. most of the screen time was related to reading/replying to emails, web browsing and texts.

the OP doesn't mention their expectations beyond getting 12 hrs on a single charge and how he/she uses the device on a daily basis. that will surely factor into their respective experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] simonxliu:
Background apps aren't necessarily doing anything. This isnt windows, Android is unix based, unused ram is wasted ram. The system loads apps into the ram so you can switch back and forth easily.

An app isnt constantly doing stuff in the background unless it is intended (like utorrent or music), or the app is badly made(I'm looking at you weather channel). Your ram is always on, no matter how full it is it will always use the same amount of power, when you're in deep sleep your apps are frozen and not actively running. Killing all your apps just means the next time you use the app it has to be read from internal storage and loaded into the ram instead of already being there in the first place, this actually uses more power. Some apps wont even stay closed and will immediately reopen anyways.

Tl; dr Android has ways of freezing apps when not in use, killing apps just means they have to be loaded again on next use which uses power. Some apps are broken and wake up all the time, use betterbatterystats to help find them.

The only solution is to use something like betterbatterystats and find the crap apps that are breaking deep sleep.
