[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The x86 emulator is very slow. 0.1ghz as an incredibly rough guess that's not entirely accurate but gives a vague idea of performance. The original Age of empires plays ok as do a few other old applications but chances are most things you run through the emulator won't actually run.

There is a jailbreak for windows RT that allows installation of non store applications, but these applications need specifically porting to windows RT. The advantage of the ported applications is that they aren't being emulated, they are run natively utilising the full power of the tablet. However few applications have been ported so far but the situation is improving.

If you need desktop apps then you are best off with the atom tablets. They aren't as slow as the media make out, they just aren't fast either. The chips in current tablets are a bit more powerful than those in netbooks and are at a higher clock speed but they still won't come anywhere near your other machine. I do know a few people that happily use minecraft and visual studio on atom netbooks.
[Windows 8 General] madsquabbles:
i've got both the 700t and 500t but find myself using the 500t far more. mainly it's used for media consumption and artwork. i use sketchbook pro, sai, and photoshop 12 (cs5) with no real problems. sure it's not as fast as the 700t, but i can keep on going for 12+ hours on the atom where the i5 dies after 5.5 hrs (faster when watching a movie). i generally keep my screen at 0% brightness since i'm indoors and the battery life still sucks on the 700t. if i have to remain tethered to an outlet i'd much rather be using something more powerful.

i have no regrets about getting the atom, but the i5... i should have sent that back and bought a gaming laptop. i'm not saying that the 700t is a bad tablet, it's pretty dang good, but the way i use my tablets battery life is more important. i thought i could squeeze 6-7 hours out of the 700t since i keep the screen dim.

I must be missing something, because I was unaware all these cellular or wireless voice providers were compatible with the iMate.

From the eBay Ad:

Alltel, AT&T Wireless, Bell Mobility, Cingular, Nextel, Rogers AT&T, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular

You need GSM with this device. That is not the technology that all these Carriers provide.

I would think that someone with Nextell might be very upset with their purchase.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20mmrain:
So I am new to the whole Root and ROM Android arena. And I came up with a few questions that hopefully you guys can help me with.

1. I read people saying they lost their ROOT after an update from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2.1 to 4.2.2? How did this happen for them?

Do you have to Un-root and flash to stock before updating to a different build (Such as 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2.1 to 4.2.2)?

2. Right now I am using a custom ROM on Android Version 4.2.2.... if a new Custom ROM with a new android version released (Let's say 4.2.3) can I flash from one Rom to the other with just wiping Cache/Factory wipe and Dalvik Cahce or is there something else I would need to do because of the Android version update?

Sorry those two questions above are very similar but I wanted to ask them both ways.

3. If I were to get bored of the Custom ROM I am currently on. Are there any Best Practices "rules" I should know about when switching from one custom ROM to another?

4. Last if I am on a custom ROM with a nightly build..... is it more common to update to every nightly build that releases? Or is it more common people to only pick and choose choice nightly build versions. And if people do update to every new Nightly build.... can you update too much and destroy your device?

Sorry guys I know these seem like very basic questions..... and Yes I did search the forums. However while I found some very basic answers nothing went into great depth in explanation. All the answers seemed to be very vague.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20mmrain:
does anyone have some suggestions on where to find these answers?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
1. If you are on stock, rooted, and you update versions of the OS, you are essentially UPDATING the /system partition. That is how you lose 'root' when upgrading. If you modify any system files while rooted, you have to either revert to stock or change those modified files back to the original before running the update.

2. Just run FACTORY RESET in your custom recovery and flash the new custom rom. No need to wipe any caches (/cache is wiped during a factory reset anyway). It doesnt matter what version to what version. Sometimes new versions might require new bootloaders, but you will be bombarded with that information here if that becomes the case.

3. See number 2. Its the same thing. backup your apps with Titanium Backup, do a Factory Reset in custom recovery and flash new rom....done.

4. doesnt matter. you can update as much or as little as you like. some people prefer stability over new shiny, but then others are just crack-flashers....and will literally flash ANYTHING posted to see what happens
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20mmrain:
Thanks I really appreciate the response. :good: You'd be surprised how many "Tiny Parts" of answers you get from searching. Very rarely the whole answer you need.

I am glade to hear that Question 2 only requires you to just factory rest. From the misinformation gathered on other forums... I was starting to think you had to flash back to stock before updating to another Custom ROM Build.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
@20mmrain

You've probably looked at a number of posts by confused newbs. For better or worse, this site is nothing like a moderated wiki, so you find treasure mixed in with trash.

Rooters fall into four broad classes:

(a) Those that "root & modify" stock ROMs

(b) Those that abandon stock and use custom ROMs and kernels

For each of the above cases, there are diligent and careful users who make full (nandroid) backups... and lazy idiots who do not. It is almost always the lazy idiots you observe coming in here in a panic, independent of whether they are in class (a) or (b).

Beyond that, newbs taking approach (a) seem to perpetually labor under the false impression that their modified versions of a stock ROM should be able to be upgraded by the OTA process - when in fact that there is absolutely no reason to believe that. The OTAs carefully check hundreds of different files before they perform any changes; if even a single one of them has been altered, the OTA aborts without making any changes.

It is *possible* that if none of those hundreds of files are changed that an OTA will succeed on a "nearly stock" ROM. When this happens though, it is quite typical that:

- the "su" binary (part of a root kit) in either /system/bin or /system/xbin gets its' setuid permissions reset by a recursive permission-setting command in the OTA

- the custom recovery can possibly be overwritten by the new stock recovery.

Folks tend to refer to either of the above as "losing root". True in principle, but they are trivially fixed up - if the user actually understands how Android rooting works. (With fastboot, you simply reflash the custom recovery, boot into that and reflash the same root kit originally used).

It's too bad that folks who put together rooting guides seem to neglect putting an emphasis on making backups. They give you both security and freedom.

Bottom line: whatever you choose to do, make nandroid backups. You don't need to keep them all on the tablet - but for convenience reasons, you should have at least one known good ROM as a backup available to be restored.

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20mmrain:
Wow that is a really in-depth explanation and that is exactly what was looking for! Since I have been working in the IT world for years I will say with pride that I am an individual who believes in safety first and always back up any important project I am working on! So I am happy to hear I made the right decision there.

I guess a great deal of my questions also stem from working in a windows based world for so long ....that I am still learning Linux/android.

Right now I do keep a nandroid backup on my nexus 7 but only one. How backups do you have? And do you just keep the rest on a thumb drive?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
At the moment I have 6 on the tablet - all generated in the last 60 days. Two in the last two days (one a rooted stock/jdq39, another a cm10.1 nightly). Plus recent TiBu market app & data backups. 32 GB model, so I have plenty of room.

That doesn't reflect any particular strategy or goal. I hook it up to a PC every once in a while and at that time either copy off any backups worth saving or delete them. Most of the those I have on the PC will eventually be deleted as well without ever being used. You could use a USB key if you want to. Really you only need to keep one on the tablet - mostly as a convenience in case you wedge your daily driver ROM with some random mod: you can restore a working ROM right from your tablet rather than having to find a USB key or return to your PC to get the tablet booting again.

There is one type of ROM backup that I think is very useful to keep a permanent copy of - a pure stock ROM. The reason for that is that any radio images (tilapia) or bootloader upgrades that are *sometimes* delivered by OTA can be trivially installed by:

- make a backup of the current ROM

- restore a pure stock ROM backup (including the stock recovery! ***)

- take the OTA

- ***soft-boot a custom recovery and make a backup of the NEW stock ROM (including its' recovery!)

- hard-flash the custom recovery to the tablet

- restore the backup from the first step above.

Doing things this way is the safest possible way to install either a bootloader or a radio image. Not only that, but for folks that prefer to mod stock ROMs, it gives them a backup archive of /system to recover arbitrary (stock) files from.

*** soft-booting a recovery is the most convenient way to capture a stock recovery as part of a nandroid backup. I.E.

fastboot boot recoveryimagefile.img

If you hard-flash a custom recovery before you make a nandroid backup of a stock ROM, you lose the opportunity to get a copy of the stock recovery along with the rest of the stock ROM.

good luck

* This is the RADIO pulled from the ATT Official UCMC1 Samsung Jellybean release. Note, this has no RIL (it appears the ril interface remains the same), but I have no idea if anything under the hood (device firmware) has changed. Also, no CSC. If you do NOT know what both the terms mean, search my friend.

You are flashing this at your own risk.

* Ask radio questions, read the damn stickies.

* Don't ask will this work on X ROM. Read the stickies about RADIO's in the forum. You will find the answers. Or, for christ sake, search!!

* Upload to your device.

* Check md5sum (download link has the md5sum)

* Usual flashing precautions should be taken.

* Choose zip from CWM.

* Flash.

* UCMC1 (For I727 and I727R) Only.

[HTC One S] gooner98:
Any tips for extending battery life? I probably get about 8 hours out of my One S, I'm currently on the PACman rom.

Thanks :D
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Are you sure 8 hours are too few? It depends on what you do in those 8 hours. Try to be more precise about your pattern of usage.
[HTC One S] gooner98:
I do use it quite a lot, it's just I'd like a bit more. I've tried reducing the screen brightness and slowing the cpu but maybe the answer for me is to not use it so much.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Yep, autobrightness and google location service (or what else is named) are two major things to work on for battery life. I don't think you should downclock the cpu instead.

Let's say if you browse the web for half the time (4,5 hours) it's normal.
[HTC One S] Troute:
Web browsing will eat battery. My phone is used for work and it's on a 2g only signal, I can be on the phone for an hour or more each day and the phone will last two days easily though I always charge it overnight anyway.

Maybe one solution for you is to buy a battery pack to recharge it if you can't be near a socket or possibly even one of those powerskin (not sure of the name) cases that have a battery in them.
[HTC One S] gooner98:
I think I'm too addicted :D I'll have a look at the Google Location thing as well

Thanks
[HTC One S] gooner98:
I will look at the Powerskin, thanks. When I had a Wildfire I just used to carry a spare battery, which I can't do now. I have a charger with me to grab a bit of charge when I can, so perhaps I'm not doing too bad considering how much I use it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkredD14:
Alright well my issue is pretty simple basically at my home I was able to get a cell phone signal last summer when I bought my GS3 it was only 3g but it got the job done. Now it seems that AT&T has expanded LTE to the area but just barley. My phone depending on whether im lucky or not will have 0 bars connection but day it's on 4g LTE yet if I try to text or make a phone call nothing and if a person tries to call me I never get any sort of notification most people think I'm just ignoring their calls because they get rung to voice mail as if it's a normal call. This wouldn't be so bad if dialing data worked but the phone seems to still have no signal when I do that. The APN trick has also failed me.

So my question is, is there somebody else out there that's found a solution? I have searched the forum but to no avail. Maybe I'm just searching the wrong keywords? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:

Okay, I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can answer.

1). What is the situation with the boot loader on the One? I know there is a developer edition, but are all of the other versions going to be locked down? Also, since there is a Dev version I assume the one won't be on their unlock website, right?

2) my second question is more about HTC in general, and s-off. I know it stands for security off, but what does it do exactly? I've heard its needed for flashing certain things like kernels, but I don't understand why that would he necessary if the boot loader is already unlocked.
