[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Cleargrey:
I've been asking around and am still trying to find if this is possible. What I'm after is a Carrier IQ level, or close to that, so I can see how I'm using my device. I don't have any particular goal in mind other than to educate and investigate my own smartphone habits.

I would like the app to take logcat level data, or some other source, and be able to parse it and present it in a visually digestible form. Someone helpfully suggested *#*#4636#*#* which is good but not nearly deep enough. Stuff like:

how many times I turn on and off the screen;

GPS usage;

app time by user view (or other view);

mobile data history (amount, connection/disconnection, class of connection, speed);

network connection history, category of connections, etc

There are other data that could be useful but hopefully you get my point. Just really detailed information to help me observe how I interact with my N4 and how my N4 is performing with the world around me.

Any ideas? Or do I have to become a customer of Carrier IQ???

Hi!

Got a new desire hd A9191 after I smashed the screen on my old one

I know its now an old phone model but decided on another dhd as theyre more than good enough for me

I got the first one 3-4 years ago, upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s3 when my contract ran out 18 months later but really didnt like the s3 compared to my dhd (believe it or not!) so sold the s3 and stuck with my dhd

Anyways...

What id like to do is to get rid of the bloatware that comes with a new phone

Ive looked through a load of threads but they are either outdated, not supported anymore, have dead links (probably due to the age of the phone (and my question!)) or are more about flashing a custom rom

Also some of what ive read is well beyond my understanding and I don't want to be starting yet another "help me ive messed my phone up" thread!

What I do understand is that to delete stock apps I need root access to my dhd

There are apps on the app store that easily delete stock apps but you need root access for them to work

So could someone please tell me either an up to date tool to use or an up to date thread to follow that will get my dhd rooted

Am looking at the VISIONary tool at the mo due to the software version im running (see below) as per

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076

Was just going to do step one and use the VISIONary tool to root my dhd and not worry about step 2 and 3 Is this any good?!?

Some details...

android version 2.2

baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

kernel version 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d htc-kernal@and18-2#1 Thurs Oct 28 13:24:11 CST 2010

build number 1.32.405.6 CL278359 release-keys

software number 1.32.405.6

browser version WebKit 3.1

My dhd is in brand new out the box condition

Ive not done any updates or downloaded any apps yet

Many thanks for reading!!

Use the Easy Ace Root Tool in the Development forum.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man10101:
Hi bananagranola

Thank you for your reply

This is one of the tools I looked at but support has been stopped and didnt think it would work for my dhd after reading this (im on froyo 2.2)

glevitan:

First Line in the warning...this Is just for stock devices. Will only work in gb because froyo will not allow to unlock the bootloader....

Do I need to update to gb before using the easy ace tool?!?

Many thanks

Matt
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Yes, you will need to run a RUU.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] man10101:
Ive connected my dhd to my broadband and had the 2.3.5 update pop up so will run that and then go through the ace root tool

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dude101589:
I'm sorry if this is a super noob question but please bare with me. I am looking into purchasing a Nook HD+ with the primary intent being use as I finish up undergraduate and (hopefully) enter medical school. Does the 8.9 inch screen allow for adequately viewing textbook PDF pages? I have a Kindle Fire (1st generation) that is ok but the pages display incredibly tiny text and make reading a textbook a pain. Is 8.9 inches big enough for this or is 10.1 the only truly viable option? The last question I have is does the device allow for annotation with a stylus? Additionally, does any tablet (non-iPad/Surface) scream "FOR STUDENTS" that would be a significantly better investment?

A tangential question is will the device do screen capture?

Thank you so much for any replies.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpisini:
It will depend on your eyes. I have no trouble reading PDFs on the screen but you may or may not like it. You could buy one they allow you return it for a few days after buying if you don't like it. You can do screenshots but I am not sure how I saw it mentioned it elsewhere but can't find it now.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeebone:
I can tell you what I know. I have the HD+ and I use it to read my Programming text book. I don't have the greatest eyes, but my PDF of my textbook works out great when I wear my reading glasses. It's very convenient. I wouldn't even think to attempt it on anything smaller.

I had a 10.1 transformer infinity before this and I couldn't tell the difference from the 9 to the 10.1 and vice versa. I think the resolution is the biggest help. Just really clears up those words.

I can't speak for your other questions...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hangman_:
I am coming from a Nook Color, still unrooted, running Gingerbread from an SD card. I had this little beauty while working toward my degree in Electrical Engineering. I have also recently purchased a pair of HD+'s for a Fathers day/Mothers day gift. My bride has the Asus T700 10.1 screen.

So, with this background experience, I'll offer my 2c worth.

When the PDF is not flowable, another words if you zoom in you have to scroll back and forth to read it, it can be a serious issue. Unfortunately, most eText books are this way at the moment. I prefer the 9.8 screen. When you are reading a book in a chair or room where you have to hold the reader in your arm, the Asus T700 weighs a ton after 20 minutes.

I've loved my 7" Nook Color, small enough to fit in a backpack with several other books and shtuff, large enough to read most texts without scrolling (only scroll for non-flowable PDF's so far) and light enough to hold for long periods of time.

I love the fact it has an expandable MicroSD card slot. Like I mentioned, I'm running two OS's on it, stock B&N (Which I haven't actually used for almost a year now) and Cyanogen Gingerbread. I have too much information to risk updating the OS and possibly losing something at the moment so I have not upgraded yet.

I bought the HD+'s for $149 and B&N has a two-year full coverage warranty for $60. You get it wet, drop if off the roof of the car, use it to support the leg of the chair you are sitting on, whatever the reason, it's covered.

The Asus T700 was in the $500 range when we bought it, and the HD+'s weight a fraction of what the T700 weighs. There are stylus's you can purchase for roughly $15 that work great, in fact my bride uses one on her T700 constantly. As for screen capture, I've done it with the Gingerbread OS, and my bride has done it with the Asus, but I am not sure about the B&N OS. I would assume so as you now have access to the Google Play with the HD+.

So for a hair less than $250, you get an excellent unit with still top-of-the-line hardware, a two year full coverage warranty, a nice case, screen protector, an expansion slot capable of booting an alternate OS, and some expert coders on XDA that put OS's bootable from an SD here to assist and compliment the HD+. What more can you ask for?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] View92612:
I feel the weight of the Nook HD+ too but I can sustain the weight longer for about 90 minutes...a bit better than tf700. I bought tf700 for $600 as a gift to my dad and he felt it laggy probably due to poor io... I wish Nook HD+ were available back then. I could have saved $300. Reading PDF documents is still very inconvenient so I usually read those on a 23 inch PC screen....epub and mobi work great on the Nook HD+. I hope more books can be available in epub or mobi formats...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
Reading PDFs is the main reason why I got the HD+. The main determinant is screen width (since you want to read in portrait to see the whole page). HD+ screen is 4.99" wide. For my eyes, I consider 4.5" and up as minimum acceptable for portrait reading for PDFs, which generally have complex layouts with non-reflowable text (for reflowable-text formats like epubs, it doesn't matter.) What's "acceptable" of course varies depending on your visual acuity.

I've made a list of screen widths for popular devices here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32118091). You can calculate widths for other devices from here (http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html). iPads, being 4:3, are the best for long-form reading, with the regular having the widest (ergo largest) screen, and the Mini being the most portable while having nearly the same width as the HD+.

Re: Screen capture - Don't know about stock firmware, but CM allows screenshots in Settings > System > Power Menu > Screenshot. There are also apps that do screenshots.

Legibility also depends on the PDF reader, and whether it allows cropping of border to allow for largest possible text. Below are two screen caps from ezPDF of a typical PDF textbook on HD+. The second is after double-tapping to auto-crop. The uncropped is (to me) borderline legible, but with eyestrain; the second is of course very legible.
[LG Optimus 3D] jacksamuelbailey:
Hi all,

Recently I've been trying to update my optimus 3D.

I've been using the LG mobile support tool, to try to update from 2.2 to 4.0, the update tool wants to update from 2.2 to 2.3 then to 4.0

I'm fine with this, and have tried to let it run! the update downloads, and unpackages but then when it tries to install, at about 5-10% the update

stops and states that the phone is disconnected-its not!

have any of you got any suggestions on what to do as I don't want to root until my contract is over then I'll properly mess with it. the support tool/update tool says that if the update stopped abruptly try the customer support to recovery- this looks like it will put a clean install, which im sorta okay with but im not sure if it will be 4.0 or not cause its kinda useless on 2.2... :/

any ideas?

thanks a lot !
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
LG updater unfortunately has been causing problems all around. I used it to update to GB and I had to try about 4 times before it worked. I have heard several stories about problems updating to ICS also.

If you do have problems, one way to fix it is do this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39269819

But if you don't want root, you will need to find an unrooted .bin and .fls and flash those instead of the files linked there. There is also a tool for flashing .kdz files around the forum someplace (driver install procedure for both tools should be about the same). Again, you will need an unrooted .kdz.

You can always unroot if needed, if you do want root. Honestly, unless you break hardware, the info you will find on xda allows you to a better job at servicing your phone than LG and others will do for you. I have read that some of these places will say they "can't" fix it, but really they won't/don't take the time to learn how.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
I'm a pretty sad panda now because I don't see any suitable replacement for the Photon Q. In typical work fashion virtually no one knew about the switch until they started trying to hand out iFail5 to people in the office....

I can get an S4 so I'd at least have a powerful phone but I strongly prefer the slider/physical keyboard. I've contemplated trying the SIM card mod to see what happens but it doesn't look like anyone has tried it yet, not sure if it'll even work.

Anyone have any other ideas? The option to buy something unlockable from another carrier may exist but what other choices are there? I don't recall any newer sliders than the Q so I would wind up with something older.

If I worded this badly, and I probably did, here's the TLDR version : Work switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, I luvs my Photon Q, gimme ideas for preferably keeping a physical keyboard.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
T-Mobile unfortunately doesn't have any keyboard phones.

You should totally go for the Nexus 4 or HTC One (Google Edition), though.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
I did like HTC's sense ui when I had the evo shift, the One does look like a rather well built phone. The nexus 4 doesn't really scream anything obviously beneficial to me. Sure you get the long upgrade future but when I can't even keep a phone for a year at this place it doesn't seem to matter....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
So do you get to keep the Q or do you have to give it back? If you get to keep the Q, you might aswell try the simcard mod (I would, if I was you) and get a new phone in the process. If not, then personally I'd go for the htc one.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
It isn't expected that they'll get any trade in value for it so I'll probably just quietly hold onto it. I know someone that wants to get away from their dumbphone family plan so maybe I'll just let them use it, otherwise I'll attempt the sim card mod FOR SCIENCE!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
You could just take the crapPhone5 they're trying to hand out, and once MotoGoogle releases the X-Phone (rumored to go out August 1st on every carrier) you could go for that. I've read it'll have the same price point as the current Nexus. If you want I can hunt around for some links for things I've read about it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
I just dug through the boxes of the "ready to go" phones, there doesn't seem to be one for me in there so I guess I dodged this upgrade wave and will have some time to decide on the One or S4. I don't want to bother with waiting for Motorola's phone. Its looking pretty doubtful that they'll spend the $600 or more on a developer edition phone but it a quick check at both phone's forums sections reveals that rooting them and running cleaner roms is rather straightforward and certainly moving along.

EDIT: Whoops... apparently there was another hidden box containing the android phones, guess there is an S4 in there already set aside for me. I might as well give it a shot, I've seen someone else's S4 and the touchwiz interface feels rather cartoonish and kiddy, certainly going to change that.

And the story gets even better! The ones responsible for the switch complained about poor reception and being unable to receive calls at their homes last night.... so now everything is up in the air!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] xanth:
Well technically you could create a database of all the cell ID's of your operator as you connect to them and then theoretically you could work out where you are by signal strength between 3 of them and then overlay a database of speed cameras onto that.

BUT:

A) Device will only connect to one cell at a time. It'd have to be constantly switching.

B) It's not likely to be very accurate.

C) I can't see anyone spending time/resources on such a project when GPS's etc aren't "that" expensive anymore (Don't get me wrong I know they're not cheap, but they used to be a lot more).

Sorry, but way I see it, you're going to need a GPS... and then find some software for it to work with.

Hope someone can shine a little light on me...

I am going to buy a Pipo M6 tablet, but i have not been able to answer one question about it: they advertise with E-compass, as a kind of GPS replacement, but I cant find any info about what it is.

Anyone out there who knows what E-compass is, how useable it is, and if it is a full replacement for "normal" GPS?
[General Questions and Answers] matnl:
I have the PiPO M6, and I tell you it does not have a GPS, or anything assimilated in. E-compass would be an electronic compass.

If you want to use the tablet as a navigation device, I'd suggest installing an app such as Bluetooth GPS and connecting to an external source of GPS data to which you can connect to using BT. You can use your smartphone's GPS for example, or get a dedicated unit such as the Royaltek GPS that you can find for about $35
[General Questions and Answers] CheopsChefren:
Thanks for that. I will see if i can use my phones GPS then with the Pipo.

Fast and smooth in launcher app, Sometimes some lag when i have too many apps open. Browsing with Chrome can be somewhat laggy, but I understand Dolphin does a better job. The screen is excellent, with good colours!

No regrets with this tablet - the build quality is good, the screen is great and PiPO seems to be willing to maintain it for the moment being with regular firmware updates. What I'm looking forward to is an update with the RK3188 SDK 2.0 which is supposed to bring substantial benefits.

Can someone here tell me how to use the GPS from my Nexus 7 with the Pipo M6? GPS via Bluetooth I suppose, but how to achieve this?
[General Questions and Answers] matnl:
Using external bluetooth GPS source with the PiPO M6

You need an app that reads the GPS data on your Nexus 7 and makes it available through BT such as GP2 to Bluetooth https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cajax.gps2bt2

On your tablet you need a provider that can connect to you phone once you've paired the two, with "mock locations" enabled, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turboirc.bgp.v1

Then on your tablet you need an navigation app such as MapFactor: GPS Navigation (you can download the maps to your tablet before going on the road)

Cordyceps has a foothold in humans across the globe. This fungal-based infection rapidly reproduces in the brain of the host, influencing their actions and eventually resulting in physical deformation.

You're a survivor. You don't know if there's anyone else.

Over the past month you've noticed something strange in the behavior of the infected, they appear to travel in packs; although packs may be the wrong word. A 'Swarm' is a more appropriate way to describe the hundreds of infected pursuing lone survivors.

You don't know when the people you used to call friends are going to come for you but you do know that they will. Armed with nothing more than your own two feet you have to delay the inevitable, but for how long?

This is Swarm.

Please message me about any glitches or errors that occur and I will gladly fix them!

I'm also willing to take any suggestions you have, and will include ideas for new zombies.

A review or a share would help me out a lot, everything in the game including the 'artwork' (I use the term loosely) was produced by a single developer. :)

-----Copy and paste from the Play Store, and yes I'm hopping on the 'cordyceps' hype train after experiencing the brilliant 'The Last of Us'. Everything in this game was made by one person who is fairly new to it all. The game is somewhat a work in progress and I will no doubt add more feature and more types of zombies in the coming days. The game is struggling at the moment so I appreciate any buys I get, hence the lowered price to £0.50, this may go up as the game becomes more polished and sells more!

Thanks a lot for reading, I'd appreciate any ideas, and would love your 50p's ;)

If an experienced member of the forum wants a review copy I'd be happy to issue one!

EDIT: Screenshots! :)
