[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon Lee:
I purchased a Nook after keeping a friend's Kindle Fire 2 for a few weeks. The Kindle impressed me on how well it played videos with the modest system resources it had. I knew I wanted an Omap 4 tablet. The Fire 2 had hardware video decoding.

I chose Nook because of the external sdcard slot (and lower price).

IMO, the Nook has a better screen. Unfortunately this is offset by the amount of secure tiler and ducati heap ion memory allocation that has been afforded to our ducati firmware blob. To put it simply, we easily run out of graphics memory when building thumbnails for HD_2k videos or doing a lot of seeking while watching HD youtube/flash videos.

Our Nook's ION memory allocation is this:

omap4_ion_heap_secure_input_size = (SZ_1M * 48);
omap4_ion_heap_secure_output_wfdhdcp_size = (SZ_1M * 16);
omap4_ducati_heap_size = (SZ_1M * 48);

The Fire's is this:

omap4_ion_heap_secure_input_size = (SZ_1M * 90);
omap4_ion_heap_secure_output_wfdhdcp_size = (SZ_1M * 16);
omap4_ducati_heap_size = (SZ_1M * 109);

Google glass is this:

omap4_ion_heap_secure_input_size = (SZ_1M * 90);
omap4_ion_heap_secure_output_wfdhdcp_size = (SZ_1M * 16);
omap4_ducati_heap_size = (SZ_1M * 107);

Unfortunately this can't be easily changed without compiling a new ducati module.

The Kindle Fire also has a much more active development scene.

For these two reasons, ATM, the Fire is a better choice if you intend to watch HD videos.

As much as I like my Nook, unless you are planning to install a custom ROM, I would get the Kindle. Amazon will be around forever. B&N may not be and therefore long term support for the Nook is iffy.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST Dog:
People said that of many now defunct companies in the past (try getting support for pre-bailout GM vehicles, particularly the makes that they killed off. No one expected that in 2008 when they bought a Pontiac, a name that had been around since 1926, that it'd be gone in 2010. Or Oldsmobile in 2004 after 107 years. Not to pick on GM either, since Ford killed of Mercury in 2010, after 72 years)

While Amazon will likely support the Kindle Fire longer than B&N will the NookHD+ I suspect that by the time it matters, both will have been relegated to the trash heap.

Try getting support for a 5yr old system now. You can forget about a 10yr old system.

While I can find options for 80s and 90's computers and video games they are not OEM sources and very niche situations.

In 2-4 years everyone will have moved on to new systems and B&N won't matter then.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
To compare Amazon to pre-bailout GM is ludicrous. Unless a couple hundred $ makes a difference, IMO it would be silly to buy a new Nook over a new Kindle. But the OP will have to decide what makes sense for him.

As with airplanes, your typical mission profile determines what you want to fly.

For me, the 3:2 aspect ratio is prime.

In fact, I'm thinking about buying a spare Nook HD+. A CPO, which is what I bought the first time, is on sale at Fry's Electronics for $100.

Hi,

I want to send time critical data over a GSM connection. I establish the

connection with the TAPI interface.

My problem is the very big delay between sending a Byte at device a and

receiving a byte at device b.

I test it in the following way:

* device send one byte and start a counter

* device b receive the byte and send it back

* device a receive the byte and stop the counter

the result:

device a | device b | delay

MDA | ISDN | over 1600 ms

SDA | ISDN | 688 ms

MDA | SDA | 884 ms

SDA | MDA | 1836 ms

SDA | SDA | 869 ms

What's going wrong?

My CSD-type is V.110 transparent

MDA = T-Mobile MDA I = HTC Wallaby (I think)

SDA = T-Mobile SDA I = HTC Tornado

I use the following functions:

* lineGetID(0, 0, hCall, LINECALLSELECT_CALL, lpVarStr, TEXT("comm/datamodem")) ;

* sHandle = *(LPHANDLE)((BYTE*)lpVarStr + lpVarStr->dwStringOffset);

* COMMTIMEOUTS commTimeouts;

GetCommTimeouts (sHandle, &commTimeouts);

commTimeouts.ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD;

commTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = MAXDWORD;

commTimeouts.ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 2000;

commTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutMultiplier = 1;

commTimeouts.WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 1;

SetCommTimeouts (sHandle, &commTimeouts)

* WriteFile (sHandle, data, tSize, &sent, NULL);

* ReadFile (sHandle, data, rSize, &tSize, 0);

Thanks a lot

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DanielS:
for your real problem I have no solution - could be bound to GSM specifics.

Nevertheless Threading is not all that good on Pocket PC's - I get better results when calling Application.DoEvents very often. = they delay could also between OS and Application!

Daniel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ryhor:
You haven't any problem.

Delays you are achieved is relatively normal for CSD GSM communication. At least I have measured approximately same values.

~600-900ms round trip time for "transparent" mode

and

~1000-1500ms for "nontrasparent"

And more - these delays aren't stable - you easily ca achieve 3000 ms as pick value for dalay.

In case of "nontransparent" communication delays usualy are biger and show tendency to growing more often.

Grigory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I don't see any problem with threading. What do you mean "not all that good". I use threads a lot and found them to be very predictable and in many cases the best way to get a result. When using writefile with tapi or communicating over sockes I have found no noticeable delay between my application and the os. As long as the threads are synchronized propperly and sometimes give up their time slice when not in important code many threads can get along fine in one app.

As for the time taken, 1000ms for a byte is not good - its very poor. I have found this to happen when using writefile with single bytes with the phone handle. Try sending much larger size data and work out what the time is per byte and I think you will see a huge decrease in the time per byte achived. Strangley I have not found the same dellays in using readfile to read single bytes at a time.

I just sent a 13312 byte file with GSMbeam and it took ~24 seconds (after the handshake). Thats 1.8ms per byte (correct me if my math is wrong).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ryhor:
Question was (as I understand) in propagation time of byte - not about bandwidth.

Yes you can send approximately up to 1.1 kbytes per second in "nontrasparent" mode. But the problem is in time byte (right now have been sent) needs to reach "receiver".

Grigory
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tq:
Hi,

thank you for your answers and sorry for my late reply.

I can't use "Application.DoEvents", because I program in C++ not in C#.

The problem is the delay not the bandwidth. Ok, GSM data have a round trip delay between 500 and 1000ms.

A normal Voice call haven't this delay. Is it possible to use it for data communications? Are there workarounds?

But why is it bigger on a pocket pc?

On MDA (~200 Mhz, HTC Wallaby) and XDAmini (300 Mhz, HTC Magician ?) I have delays over 1000 ms. But not on a 200 Mhz smartphone ( HTC Tornado). The difference are one second and more?

Is this related to any windows parameter?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ianrosean13:
Hello there XDA! I have a dilemma I bought a used Samsung galaxy s4 i337 from a guy locally and I tried to downgrade the firmware using Odin and I somehow missed up the Wifi because it would not turn on. Long story short I sent the phone to Samsung because it was still under warranty and they replaced the motherboard and sent it back. Upon receiving the device I went to pop in my buddy's AT&T similar (I have metro pcs) and it gave the MM#2 error. I checked the IMEI online and it shows blacklisted/stolen on checkesnfree. So pretty much this guy sold me the phone reported it stolen then used the money to get another through insurance probably. What are my options at this point. I know IMEI change is illegal but is it easy to just swap out motherboards on these devices? Anybody have a suggestion?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JesseK:
Someone was trying to do that with my S5 I had posted for sale. He was asking for the IMEI, serial, receipt, etc... he was for sure going to try to insure it, then report it stolen.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] r3pwn:
This unbricking method requires that you have adb working and have root access.

First, download the latest system update for your device.

For the 7" HDX, they are posted at

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201357190.

For the 8.9" HDX, they are posted at

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_v4_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201357220.

Now, please note that I DO NOT have a Kindle Fire HDX, so if this doesn't work, let me know and I will remove it immediately.

Try these commands:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /cache
mkdir /cache/recovery
echo install /cache/kindleupdate.bin > /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
chmod 0777 /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
exit
exit
adb push your-downloaded-update.bin /cache/kindleupdate.bin
adb reboot recovery

The only thing that you have to do is replace "your-downloaded-update.bin" with the path to your downloaded update. (To make it easier and avoid typos, I always just drag and drop the file into the terminal/command prompt window.)

Please also note that IT IS OKAY if the command "mkdir /cache/recovery" fails, as long as the error message says file already exists or something along those lines.

Thanks, r3pwn, this works well. Nice, easy instructions that should be instructive to anybody messing with their device.

This helped me after a botched update to newer Amazon firmware. Quick question though: It seems like you don't really need to be root / use su to do these steps. I had lost su in that update but was able to execute the rest of the adb commands without root. I guess that should be the same for anyone who doesn't have root, right?

Wiping System in Safestrap v3.7x usually means your HDX has been bricked. AFAIR I haven't seen anyone being able to fix that.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Amazon made it virtually impossible to replace your system once damaged or wiped. Locked bootloader, useless recovery, crippled fastboot, no support for 'factory' cables or advanced tethering, etc. Kindles are positioned as consumption devices (shopping portal) that users are not suppose to mess with. Your best best is to sell it for parts and move on.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
One other important thing - which CM11 ROM did you flash anyway?

This one is for Safestrap v4 or TWRP & unlocked bootloader only, i.e. NOT Safestrap v3.7x compatible,

and this one is for TWRP & unlocked bootloader only, i.e. NOT Safestrap compatible at all,

and this one is NOT Safestrap compatible either, i.e. TWRP only.

Read the installation notes and requirements carefully before you flash anything.

And DON'T wipe System!
