[General Questions and Answers] DotN:
still, that's a lot cheaper than paying £££ on TomTom!

If I did it this way and then used a less-than-legit version to trial it, I could then upgrade to a proper version later and then sell the GPS receiver.

If I buy TomTom now and don't use/like it then I stand to loose a lot more money (especially seeing as the general impression people seem to have is that TomTom on ebay is fake or no good).

...you see my predicament

[General Questions and Answers] Gajet:
If you did fancy Geocaching or even just the chance of an Ordanace survey map. I recommend 'aquiring' a copy Memory Map too. I have both on my xda iis, Tomtom drives you to the local area, and memory map will plot everything after that.

[General Questions and Answers] andy-c1:
dispite all it's bad press on most websites tomtom on the whole is a very good product ,i persoanlly havn't had any reall issues with tomtom apart from the problem being the sd card being to slow with the 2i , i've signed up for the traffic updates which i find to be about 90% correct

i also think most of the problems arise because people are using illegal versions
[General Questions and Answers] DotN:
Not sure I agree with the problems all being down to illegal copies (more so on the 2i).

This is my main concern. If I shell out for an app that crashes etc with little to no support/help from TomTom.

As it is I will probably try a dodgy copy and if it's stable I'll get a proper version. I know that a bad copy may be the cause of the crashes but with TomTom not supplying a trial copy how do they expect people to make an informed decision? You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it would you?!

Nearly all software (including that on the Pocket PC platform) provide trial versions. I've even seen some posts on here to suggest that TomTom used to do this...but not now for some reason?

Lost business I say.

[General Questions and Answers] alix776:
dotn got to halford and have play with a tomtom go or one the app is the same as is the maps as anis the andy says there have been problems with the 2i this is mainly down to a hardware issue the way round it most users have found is to get a the fastest sd card you can find currently mappopolis is the olny vendor to have a 30 day trial
[General Questions and Answers] christopherwoods:
Aye, I must say for the record that TomTom on my 2i MOSTLY works fine, it only crashes out if you do something like try to use the Ring Number feature - it'll show the screen, but as soon as you select the Point Of Interest category you want, it has a think about it then crashes back to the desktop.

The same if you load up too many Points of Interest on a map, I've also found. I guess that's most likely down to the fairly old SD card I have, an old PNY 256Mb card - but it does the job very nicely, and just has enough space on it (6.66Mb! remaining) to store the TT files, the Netherlands map and the Great Britain Plus map. If you want to load more maps though, you'll definitely need the 1Gb card, the France plus map is something like 370mb - and the main Western Europe map is even bigger.
[General Questions and Answers] Gajet:
I can't say I've ever tried it, but Geocaching is a bit of a GPS treasure hunt. People leave these caches hidden in "interesting" places and provide the GPS coordinates to a website, then other people can use their GPS devices to locate the cache and leave a message in the notebook, take photos with the camera or maybe even recieve a little prize. It's for those odd people who go outside, when they could be huddled up in the warm over their PC's :D

If that vaguely interests you you could look at

[General Questions and Answers] christopherwoods:
Mapopolis looks promising from the site, their bundles are quite handy if you don't want all the extra steps of buying the phone holder, buying the carkit... All of which I did, hasssssssle - I do think I would miss the nifty 3D view which TomTom displays whilst you're navigating your way through the world, but I guess that's only because I'm feeling spoilt now. :D

When it comes to caching, geocaching.com used to be one of the definitive sources of info on the net, but it's suffering server problems at the moment.

Other good sites:

[General Questions and Answers] andy-c1:
have you upgraded your tomtom as mine did exactly the same till the new upgrade i havn't had to soft reset since then
[General Questions and Answers] christopherwoods:
I don't have to soft reset, the program just crashes back to the Today screen. I don't really need to use the Ring Number feature anyway, kinda pointless as I can just 118 500. ;)

The issue is moot anyway, since I'm using a less-than-100%-legitimate copy... I'm sure once I have a job post-University I'll be able to afford to buy it, but until then I'm not keeping my hopes up. :D

[Motorola Droid 4] TitanTaber:
/system/bin/su su is in that directory and so is a file called chmod... The exploit failed. Should I factory reset the device then try rooting it using

the utility you suggested?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I'm no expert on how the exploit works. It always worked first time for me. If the issue is in /system though, a factory reset probably won't help because that doesn't touch the system partition. I would try using the "Flash Official Jellybean Firmware (No Data Wipe)" option in the utility. If there is anything funky going on in /system that should fix it. Then try root option again.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
several things can cause rooting to fail

1. It's not unusual for virus scanners, to see rooting tools as viruses or trojans, because they often are.

a virus scanner may remove the exploit used in gaining root access, without any notification.

If rooting is failing, try turning off virus protection before downloading and during rooting.

2. -Settings > Apps > Smart Actions > Clear data

-Settings > Storage > ≡ Button > USB computer connection > Select "Media device (MTP)

3. every time it says "rebooting" disconnect usb cable until phone has finished rebooting

I just installed a custom bootanimation.zip on my phone and it looked like all was well for a moment until the screen went blank 1/3 or so through the animation. The beginning worked properly and the animation began to play, my old startup sound then play(I never changed that) but then the screen went black several seconds after the start sound played. Can''t find the answer anywhere else

Help appreciated!!

Here's the one I'm trying to get to work, I know it's quite long, but the exact same thing happens with every other animation I have tried.

Always stops ~frame 115

Maybe android is telling it to stop too early, if so can I force it to play the whole animation?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
plays fine on my phone, everything looked good so i pushed it

could be an issue with your phone or rom or where you're placing it on phone

from the size of the images i assume an older phone with smaller screen

from the animation i assume its running cm9/ics

if so place it it /system/media and remove old bootanimation first

if still an issue not playing fully then i assume device or current rom has an issue

[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Hi guys,

I may be being completely dense but on the TF700 you could switch between power saver, balanced and performance modes.

Can this be done on the TF701? I'm on 4.3 and can't find it anywhere!

Owen.
[Asus Transformer TF701] SHadowral:
Pull down the menu from the top and choose intelligent saving. Or open the app called energy-saving and choose there what you want to choose.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
That is not what he is asking. He knows that already.

He means to switch between different CPU frequencies as on the TF700 is possible.

I don't know if this is also done with the energy savings settings.

Maybe after Sbdags started to build a custom Rom he can find out if it can be done.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I can see already by playing around with the ROM files that Asus haven't set it up the same way - in fact I'm yet to see any indication of how they do it, if they even do.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
I could be wrong but I read somewhere, that when your do low level tasks, like watching video, it goes to single core.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Well that is nothing new. The TF700 with Tegra 3 did that already and Tegra 4 does the same.

I guess maybe they don't lower the clock frequency just limit Wifi, brightness etc. on the TF701.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Yeah that was my wondering, a bit more 'intelligent'. Certainly can't find anything obvious in any menus or pull downs.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Checked with SystemTuner the max CPU freq when energy saving off and on.

Off: 1.91 Ghz

On: 1.7 Ghz.

So they still use it, but only 2 frequencies.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Owendavies:
Ok good to know how it's varied, thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
So for normal use you can let energy saving enabled unless you want to play 3d games.

When browsing I don't see any difference in speed, also not with other applications.

But for sure running an Antutu test is will score lower.
[Transformer TF300T General] DM725:
I had a Nook Color, I rooted it and added CyanogenMod w/ Gapps and everything was great. Upgraded to a Transformer TF300T last X-Mas and enjoyed the tablet. After incredible slowdown and unbearable lag I really haven't used it much for anything in the last 6 months. Decided to pick it up and Root it and make it usable again.

Over the last 3 days I've been struggling greatly with this tablet. At first I was having trouble rooting it but that was because I was using my laptop which is windows 8.1 so I finally got it rooted on day 2 with TWRP. Then yesterday I was having a hard time getting it to load CyanogenMod but I determined it was the 2 versions. The 10.0 stable just sits at the Asus load screen and the most recent nightly just sits at the CyanogenMod home screen. After trying a few other nightlies I realized that I can get it to load CyanogenMod but now I can't get it to load any Gapps. There is a constant force close window that comes up and makes the tablet useless on most nightlies.

Then one nightly allowed the install but Google Play would just force close. Now I'm hearing about this other Custom Rom I could possible go with "CROMI-X" but a quick Google search and forum search just came up with more confusion.

Is there any way to just root this damn thing and put on a custom rom and have Google Play? I don't feel like I'm asking a whole lot. I know it's never going to be as easy as the Nook Color was but for christ sake, I'm not a novice. I can follow directions. It's like everything I look at is outdated or not compatible.

Please help, I'm slowly becoming suicidal because of this tablet.

And I figured it out, 10.2 = Android 4.3 whereas I was using a GAPPS.zip for 4.2 instead of 4.3 Hope that helps somebody.
[Transformer TF300T General] mirrin:
What is so hard about loading chromi go to the thread in dev download the latest version when the wizard pops up select your model then select the options and finish you will have a stock asus Rom with extras. I'm running it fine.
[Transformer TF300T General] stenc55:
First of all, DO NOT flash 4.2 rom on 4.1 bootloader or vice versa. Then flash correct gapps. 4.2 on 4.3 rom won't work. On OP thread there is always link to correct GAPPS. And since you're going from stock to modified ROM clean install (wipe cache, dalvik, data, format /system) is mandatory.

I didn't have single problem flashing tab so my only explanation is that you used wrong combination of ROM and GAPPS
[Transformer TF300T General] ebildude123:
1. What boot loader are you on? Wrong boot loader for a ROM = no good.

2. Did you wipe data + dalvik before you flashed CM?

3. Did you use the right gapps for your android version?

4. You did it wrong, don't blame the tablet :)
[Transformer TF300T General] atomomega:
Easy bro. First of all, be patient and enjoy learning from mistakes. The android world is so big and there's a bunch of info on how to accomplish each task (root, unlock, flash, troubleshoot). So just be patient, read carefully, try to make yourself some time to understand what's wrong with the proecedure. Eventually you will get things fixed and you'll love your TF300T again. You have an awesome piece of hardware in your hands, it's just a matter of (again) patience.

[HTC Rezound] joecoolinatl:
Been debating on this for a while, and think I'm going to pick up something new this week if I decide to grab a new phone.

Phone will be on Verizon.

I'll be using this 90% of the time in the PAC NW area of the country. other 10% will be divided up between DC/South US/Hawaii/INTL.

I've been checking spec comparisons between them and a few other phones on multiple sites, but wanted to see if any of you had a first hand opinion between these choices.

Right now I'm looking at the Moto X (32GB) , LG G2, HTC ONE, and Galaxy S4, was thinking about getting the Nexus 5 and jumping carriers, but I really can't see any benefit to it that the other phones don't have aside from vanilla android.

i.e. this link to phonescoop comparing the Rezound, Moto X, HTC One, HTC One Max, and Nexus 5

phonescoop link

and this one on phone arena comparing the Moto X, Rezound, and G2

phone arena link

and another one from phone arena comparing the Moto X, Rezound, and HTC One.

phone arena link 2

one more from phone arena comparing the Moto X, LG G2, and Galaxy S4

yet another phone arena link

and my last comparison, the Rezound vs Moto X, S4, One, G2

last link I swear!

My biggest pros for any of the newer ones are the scratch resistant screen, more LTE bands & more GSM bands for when I travel.

As well as NFC would be fun to mess around with, as well as the faster cpu / gpu / more ram. Granted I can't think of anything the rezound hasn't been able to run aside from GTA-VC which is only second hand to me as I haven't tried it.

moto x specific pros-

S-GPS

EDR for bluetooth

only $100 for 32GB version

moto maker if i want it in crazy colors

lg g2 specific pros-

fastest cpu / fasted gpu

quadcore cpu

biggest battery

biggest screen

faster ram

htc onc specific pros-

love the look, and like the built in stereo speakers

samsung galaxy s4 specific pros-

quadcore cpu

highest PPI on screen

faster ram

My cons are for the most of the newer ones are

non-removable battery

no SD card slot.

What I'm asking after all of that rambling is first hand comparisons between the rezounds and these devices, or these devices compared amongst each other.

aka- Sway me one way or the other.

TL;DR - have rezound, debating on Moto X / LG G2 / HTC ONE / Galaxy S4. Any first hand experiences to compare them?

Thanks!
