Can you please compare this to the Xiaomi bluetooth speaker. They look alike, and I really like the controller on Xiaomi one, where you can control it by pressing on the speaker from the different parts, since the controllers are at the bottom, holding the whole speaker...
[General Accessories] vectron:
Do you have a link to Xiaomi speaker, and hopefully in English? Never seen one before. I'm afraid I will not be able to get a sample since Xiaomi brand is still not popular outside of China and not too many retailers carry it. Everything I review comes either directly from a vendor or sent to me by a retailer. Xiaomi Pistons 2.1 headphones was an exception because there is a retailers on Amazon US from China which carries it for sale, but I haven't seen their bt speakers. Either way, sounds like that speaker is better than the one I reviewed above?
[General Accessories] Eleo:
IMHO the designis better, but I don't have any information about the sound quality, which I'm interested in very keenly
[General Accessories] vectron:
Do you have at least a link?
[General Accessories] Eleo:
I don't know whether it will do it, I have a youtube link ("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmIyb_bFVYI"), and I know that it has the same battery as the phone itself. I have found it in a e-shop either ("http://www.xiaomiworld.com/xiaomi-original-bt-speaker.html").

Does the first speaker (super bass portable speaker) support aux input?
[General Accessories] dj__jg:
Love this thing!

I have pretty much exactly the same speaker, with a matte aluminium finish, got it from DealExtreme.com during a sale, was $10. Mine came with a mini usb to both normal usb and a standard 3.5 jackplug.

Sadly, it appears my cable was DOA, the speaker doesn't charge from it (Had to use a mini usb cable from a camera) and the audio barely transmits. If I put both my phone and the speaker at full volume, I can hear the speaker hissing the music when I put it to my ear. :crying:

The audio is great though! At full volume, mine starts crackling at 60 Hz beats, so I had to dampen those a bit using the equalizer on my phone. The sticker on the bottom says it had a frequency range from 60Hz to 18 KHz, but audio gets a bit distorted at the edges of that spectrum at high volumes. It was loud enough to fill a double classroom with dubstep though :p

Battery life is pretty good too. I had a project day at school today, had the thing blasting dubstep at full volume while working for 4 hours non-stop, and then some later on the day. It died in my backpack while walking to the station... I guess it would be better with an SD-card though, so I'll try that tomorrow.

All in all, a great machine! Although I guess I'm going to file a complaint with DealExtreme.com for the broken audio cable. I guess they'll just send me a fresh cable, or even a replacement speaker, DX customer service is pretty generous most of the time. :fingers-crossed:

TL;DR:

It's supposed to have AUX support, at least, with my model, but the cable I got was broken, could be an incident. :(

Good audio, loud, gets a little flaky at low Hz at high volume. :)

Battery life is good with Bluetooth, SD-Card and AUX untested. :)

Would recommend. :good:

P.S. If I made any grammar/spelling errors or typo's, please tell me, I'm Dutch, not my first language. (It is a very close second though).

P.S.S Does anyone know in what order the speaker will play songs you put on an SD-Card? Is there a way to arrange them? I'll try it in a few hours, but if someone know more about this, please tell.
[General Accessories] asratxda:
Very nice review. Pictures you posted are very nice and descriptive. I bought this kind("Super bass portable speaker", the one you have reviewed 1st) of speaker from amazon.in 4 days ago. But here it is sold under brand name Maxxlite. It is exactly same and is in blue colour. I want to know whether this speaker is Mono or stereo? I am unable to decide. Sometimes I feel it is mono, sometimes stereo. The bluetooth connection to PC shows it as a "BT stereo speaker" in device manager. There is no mention on the box and no manual also. I also searched some of the chinese websites, but some say it is 2.1 channel and some say it is 1 channel. ... ... This sounds really really really good, it was a total surprise for me!

Anyone familiar with screen protector from this company ?

http://www.screenguardz.com/faq

Its very cheap, 15 screens for only $9.99 USD.

But I dont quite understand with this :

Will ScreenGuardz adhere to an LCD Screen?

No. Screenguardz adhere using static and will not adhere to a screen unless it is a TFT touch screen like those on Palm or Pocket PC devices. Most cell phones and digital camera’s use a similar screen that is made of Glass or polished plastic and these work great. ScreenGuardz will NOT adhere to a video camera screen or a laptop or notebook screen.

Will it work with I-MATE JAM (Magician) ? What does adhere means?

Thanks.

They sell them for the I-Mate Jam so I guess they will work.
[General Accessories] buzz_lightyear:
if you want a really good screen protector, get one from www.Innopocket.com

it is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, non glaring highest quality possible and cost $9,90.

my display never looked better before. it's even better with it, than bare display!!!

I had before protectors from Belkin, and that was the biggest piece of **** ever!

buzz
[General Accessories] cruisin-thru:
Gogol, basically what it says is the protector doesnt use any adhesive. After looking at the ad I am going to order some of these as they ship worldwide by the look of it, its a real bargain if they work ok.
[General Accessories] buzz_lightyear:
those protectors from Belkin were 10 or 15 in that package for 9.90.

I will never, i mean NEVER, buy something cheap again... :o)

Hello

I am officially getting crazy over the fact that my phone is broken

I tried everything and nothing works

now I want to flash a stock RUU

I tried both :

RUU_Ville_U_Rogers_WWE_1.70.631.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254139_signed

but they gave me error 155

here is the info I have :

VLE PVT SHIP S-On RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.11.50.05.28

OPENDSP-V31.1.0.45.0815

eMMC-boot

Cid : ROGER001

I really appreciate any help

this has been a problem for 7 days now and I cant figure it out
[HTC One S] vijay357:
Iam also having the same problem did you found any solution for that dude
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
From the looks of it, seems like Those are ICS RUUs so that won't work. (Downgrade isn't possible without S-OFF which seriously I won't recommend)

Either:

- Find a JellyBean RUU.

OR

- Find a JellyBean OTA. (Though for OTA you will have to be on Stock ROM and Stock Recovery)
[HTC One S] jimlee2:
I tried to manually install the second RUU but it said HBOOT fails so when I researched it appeared that mine is HBOOT-2.15.0000 and the RUU is older version,

what do you mean find a JellyBean RUU ? another Rogers RUU ?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
I meant to say that these RUUs hold ICS stuff in it. Which is why it won't work since your phone is on JellyBean.

You need to find and Run a JellyBean RUU for Rogers.
[HTC One S] jimlee2:
oh, I did not know they are ICS ,

the problem is I can not find any other Rogers RUU, can you please help me find the correct one ?

I am new to this and in the past few days I tried almost anything, but still not working
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Okay, I couldn't find a JB RUU for Rogers. But I found an OTA.

You can find all the RUUs/OTAs Here.

OTA specific to your phone is in above link or Here Directly.

When you download it, be sure to match the MD5 checksums of the downloaded file to that of the file on server. MD5 hashes are given on the website. Long bizarre number.

For the OTA to work, you need to have:

- Stock ROM

- Stock Recovery

For further material on how to flash an OTA (Since it won't work normally by flashing it over anything via custom recovery), follow This Guide.

Though it is for VilleC2 or the S3 variant, the rule is the same for S4.

I know it's a bit unusual process, but it's the only way to avoid doing the S-OFF which poses numerous problems afterwards.
[HTC One S] jimlee2:
thank you so much for the help

you said :

For the OTA to work, you need to have:

- Stock ROM

- Stock Recovery

since I dont have the stock ROM , is it possible to fix this?

I heard OTA is different from RUU, will that cause more problems ?

thank you again
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Doesn't cause problems but won't let you update if anything other than stock. That's how it is different.

You can avoid using Stock Recovery, by editing updater script. That is explained in the afore mentioned thread.

And to get stock ROM you an use a nandroid backup of stock ROM and then flash this OTA.
[HTC One S] veemon:
Stuck at the same situation

Hey

Did you ever manage to get your phone back to the stock ROM? I am stuck exactly at the same place as you. All numbers about my phone are the same too.

I cannot find any suitable RUU or nandroid online. Could you please point me to one?

Best,

Vic
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Here's your OTA.zip. Flash it using the method in my signature.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] stricklerjosh:
Does anyone have one? I just purchased one and was wondering if anyone had one and could give me a good review.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JayGoat:
I like it. I chose it over the UAG and Spigen Slim Armor. Tried all three and kept the Aspira. It offers more protection then the two others I listed and is much more comfortable to hold. The UAG and Spigen have hard edges that kind of irritated my finger the way I held it.

It fits with the Spigen Glas T Nana Slim screen protector and some Chinese wireless charging receiver tucked under the stock battery cover. It's tight but it works if anyone was wondering. The hard plastic part seems to attract finger prints and very fine scratches but you have to really look to see them.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] meshflesh:
Yes. I have one. it protects very well. the lip around the sides are strong and sturdy. and on each corner. theres a rubber padding. the padding is so thick that if you drop ur phone..it will litelerally bounce like a handball. very good case. and very easy to install

only negative is that its slightly bulky but not too much. and its an ugly case compared to others.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] stricklerjosh:
I was actually looking for a blue/white case just like this. Hopefully the color will look like the website picture.

How is the headphone jack and USB port? I know on my spigen I can really get too many headphones to fit except the stock ones. Also when you lay it backside down with music on does it completely muffle the sound like the spigen does?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JayGoat:
The ports for the headphones and USB are bigger than the Spigens. I haven't had an issue with either. When it sits on its back or front it's raised. The four corners protrude out in all directions so it doesn't muffle the speaker at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] stricklerjosh:
Thanks so much! That's what I wanted to hear.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] stricklerjosh:
I am going to have an extra white/blue aspira case for sale if anyone wants it. They messed up my order and are sending me an extra one. If anyone wants it hut me up with a PM.

Ok. I know few spots are have Sprints 800SMR live and even less have a chance of running a CM10.1/.2 Rom. But On stock 4.1.2 or stock-based rom. I connect to 800 on que and i'm on sprints 800 network most of the day as it is coming out of testing stages. But with Cm10.1/.2, I never connect to the 800SMR. I don't know why either. In home I need to connect to 800 or I roam and loose calls. Any ideas?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It sounds like lack of driver support to that radio. Similar to how early builds of CM10 had LTE issues. I'd submit a bug report to Cyanogenmod and see if they acknowledge the problem and perhaps try to address the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rukin1:
I actually connected to 800 for the first time... But only because i lost service.. lol It hung on to 1900 until It was useless
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Sounds like you need a PRL that prioritizes CDMA 800 over CDMA 1900. I'd search around for one. If I find it, I'll be sure to link it here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Fire Ball:
There is a custom PRL made by digiblur that will prioritize 800 SMR and also connect to hidden 800 SMR SIDs. It's on a site called S4GRU but you have to be a sponsor there to download it so I can't share it with you guys. I'd highly recommend going there and becoming a sponsor since you get access to tons of Sprint NV information plus the custom PRL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rukin1:
I'm a premium sponser ;) lol

[General Questions and Answers] IceDrake:
Hey everyone.

TL;DR: I quite desperately need an image (or a tarball) of a working /system partition from an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 HD (MD173x) for the recovery of a soft-bricked unit I have here. Apparently there's none available anywhere. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 HD here (ME173x) that got soft-bricked by an improper installation of Chainfire3D [not by me]. The device won't finish booting up, but it gives me shell/root access to the entire system through ADB, so it's salvageable. I have a serious problem, though: while I have access to the entire system, I have no images to restore it from - absolutely nothing!

I've tried looking for any manual updates or SD-card-based recovery images on the ASUS website, but only found something for the regular MeMO Pad. I've tried that option still, but the pad ignores it, so probably incompatible. For the MeMO Pad 7 HD, ASUS have no images at all - just user manuals and the source code! I suppose that's the catch to its otherwise cheap price, and I'll spare you my opinions about that.

When it comes to the boot loader, there are 3 options that it offers: normal boot, FASTBOOT or Recovery (which is anything but: it just pops a dead Android icon with "NO COMMAND" underneath it - not particularly helpful). Can't do a whole lot with that, I suppose.

So yeah... My options, as I see them, are to either beg somebody else with a MeMO Pad 7 HD for their /system partition (either a dd dump, tar.gz archive of all the files within, or a CWM recovery file perhaps), in hopes that they are rooted and need little to no guidance on obtaining that data. Failing that, I may have to beg the guys behind Chainfire3D to perhaps give me a list of all the files they introduce into the system and modify, and try to undo those changes manually, and if there's anyone here that reads this and can help me with any of those options, I'll be forever grateful to them.

I assume contacting ASUS themselves about this is a waste of time, since I highly doubt that they'll take this well from a warranty perspective, nor do I think they will be keen to provide me with any recovery images or be useful/helpful in any "non-generic" way...

Anyway, here's my problem, so if anyone has any ideas on getting this solved, I'm all ears [or in this case - eyes].

Thanks!

-- Ice

P.S. Please spare me the lectures about backing up, rooting, bricking, "being careful", etc. This isn't my device - I'm not the one who bricked it. I'm the person people hand these devices to when they've screwed up...
[General Questions and Answers] GermanGigaDepp:
I have a rooted Memo Pad. Can I somehow save an full image of it and share with you?

Gesendet von meinem ME173X mit Tapatalk 2
[General Questions and Answers] IceDrake:
Many thanks for your response.

You can make a tarball (tar.gz archive) of /system by using the built-in tools. Assuming you have at least a gigabyte of free space in internal memory, here's what you can do:

Get a Terminal Emulator application (if you don't have one): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

Tell the pad to archive /system files:

Run the Terminal app

Type the following commands:

Locate and upload the system.tar.gz file to Dropbox or some other place that allows you to upload large files and post a link to it - either here or in private.

Now I've noticed that such a file can take around 700MB, which is quite a bit. If that becomes a problem, you can try getting a smaller archive by picking just the more important folders within /system. In that case, this is how your tar command will look instead:

Again, many thanks for wanting to do this!

P.S. What these commands do is essentially "zipping up" the contents of the /system folder into am archive file. You can do this with a root-capable file explorer, but it's just easier to do it through the command line, because we all know what exactly to expect from these commands...

P.P.S. To remove that system.tar.gz file through the terminal, type rm /sdcard/system.tar.gz
[General Questions and Answers] ericmaxman:
I get a invalid option -- z error.

Followed all the step, I did. :confused: :confused:

EDIT : Scratch that, I used this code instead.

#tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system

Wait while I upload the dump.

here's the link to the dump

btw, I've renamed some APKs as bak, since there is no option to disable some of those apps.

I've removed the link to the file. PM me if anyone wants it.
[General Questions and Answers] GermanGigaDepp:
So I guess my help is not needed anymore.

If you still need my help just ask me, I will do it.

Thank you both.

I will grab the file once I get access permission (click the blue SHARE button in GDrive and change the visibility to "Those with the link" or add ice3715 at gmail com to it) and will hopefully be able to continue bringing this thing back to life. If I'll stumble over anything else, I will certainly know whom to rely on.

Very much appreciated!

Alrighty. Already added your email address. Pls check
[General Questions and Answers] IceDrake:

[General Questions and Answers] IceDrake:
Post-recovery

Alrighty then!

Thanks to the image provided, I've managed to get the device to finish its boot sequence: when comparing the files of the two, I found a shell script at /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh that basically gave me instructions on how to uninstall CF3D.

The files it overwrote were:

The backups of the originals were stored as:

Restoring these files and changing the permissions as specified in cf3d_uninstall.sh brought the device back to life. The OS was somewhat unstable (appcrashes and spontaneous reboots), but a few reboots, updates and dalvik-cache wipes later, it seemed to have stabilized on its own.

Again, many thanks to ericmaxman for providing the system image and GermanGigaDepp for being willing to do the same. You guys are awesome!

Lesson of the week

: When rooting your device (or even before that), always back up your entire system! (or at least your entire /system) It is not guaranteed that the manufacturer will offer any recovery images for it or help you in any way, and if you mess up, you'll get stuck just like me!

I installed Chainfire 3 D on my new Memo Pad HD 7 and it wont boot anymore. I think I need a system image!

I´m thankful for any help and advice. Where I can download the system image file? Is there somewhere a step by step guide for installing the system image file ?

Thank you

[General Questions and Answers] ericmaxman:
I don't have my PC with me now...will grant u access to the file tomorrow evening
[General Questions and Answers] IceDrake:
If you have the same problem as me, then you don't really need the /system partition. I needed it only to do some comparisons, and I found a CF3D uninstall script that way.

I'll tell you right away that unless you're OK with using the command line, ADB and Linux shell (adb shell), you should really try finding someone who is more familiar with these things, because "experimenting" with such a tablet may cost you dearly - ASUS offers no recovery for it whatsoever! Trying to recover it manually without knowing what you're doing there is a bad idea!

Also, the commands below may eventually become outdated, so instead of using those, see if you can

cat /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh

and do what it says instead (except for stop - don't type that in the shell :P )

To recover it from the problem I was having, you should gain access to the tablet over adb first:

Plug the tablet into your PC using a USB cable

Open Command Prompt: press WIN+R to pop up the Run dialog, then type cmd and press ENTER

Type adb shell into the command prompt.

If you don't have ADB installed, then Google about for some guides on how to get it installed first. This is one of them:

http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/

Once inside the shell, go root, remount the /system partition for writing and restore the backed up drivers by typing these (VERY slowly and carefully!):

su

mount -o rw -o remount /emmc@android /system

cat /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM_ORG_CF3D.so > /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so

chown 1000:1000 /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so

chown system:system /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so

chmod 644 /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so

cat /system/lib/libGLESv2_ORG_CF3D.so > /system/lib/libGLESv2.so

chown 1000:1000 /system/lib/libGLESv2.so

chown system:system /system/lib/libGLESv2.so

chmod 644 /system/lib/libGLESv2.so

After that, the tablet should be able to boot as it did for me. Otherwise, you may want to type reboot and let it restart completely.

Hope this helps in some way. It didn't damage the device I was working with, but I can't possibly offer any guarantees about yours (especially if it isn't MeMO Pad 7 HD, or one with a different firmware).

P.S. For people asking for "system images", etc: please understand that it's not a recovery image or anything! You can't just flash it into the device and make it work! What I was asking for is a bunch of files to compare against - manually, so if you don't really know what you're doing, do try to find someone who does.
[General Questions and Answers] ericmaxman:
