Find Media Storage, then select Memory and it shows just average RAM use, frequency, etc.

If I select Media Storage , it shows clear data, but cache is not enabled. So I did clear data, rebooted, seemed to do the trick, thanks much!!

From Ubermobile:

http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/01/viliv_umpc_is_extremely_portable.html

Similar slider/keyboard format as Shift, but:

- Menlo processor (good for battery life, bad for speed)

- Looks like Windows XP option (my preference)

- Assuming same screen as its brother, it will have 7" 1024 x 600, 16million vs 256k colors

- Same HDD options as Shift

- Only 512mb memory (expandable?) vs 1gb not expandable

- WAN optional only with external modem (actually my prefernce, since I'll use my HSPDA phone - HTC Trinity - as a tethered modem rather than pay for 2x data plans)

- GPS (sirfStar III, not that POS Qualcomm i have in my Trinity that is probably in the Shift)

- Estimated MSRP of $700-$800 vs. $1,600 for Shift

So, no Snapvue, no phone guts, and with an estimated ship date of 3Q2008, it'll probably beat the Shift to the shelves!!! <grin>

Man, waiting until 3Q (assuming they really do this and do it on time) would be painful, but if it comes in with the specs they list, it could be the winner for me.

seems quite bad .. i would say 40% of interest of the shift is in that one .. but maybe it's nice for you.

[Shift General] M M:
Menlo processor 1,86 GHz - A110 800 MHz

:( Am I missing something ?
[Shift General] landshark:
Hey MM -

My understanding is although the Menlo is running at a higher clock speed, it is a different architecture so a higher clock speed doesn't really translate into faster performance. I did some internet searching (sorry, didn't save the links) which suggest that the Menlo referenced here will be about the same as the Stealy A110 which is the 800mhz version included in the Shift.

Of course, it should have much lower power consumption, so maybe we could get better than 2hrs out of the battery.

[Shift General] leoni1980:
I don't really understand what market the Shift is really 'for'. It's a very strange device which doesn't seem to offer much in the way of practicality. It's low-res screen and poor battery make it an ineffective laptop replacement - my old Sony Vaio TX had FOUR TIMES the battery life. The size is not as small as other devices and it would appear it only has two features not seen on other UMPCs: phone functionality (which is surely just a further battery drain) and windows mobile device functionality. Wouldn't it be more practical though to have a proper phone with Windows Mobile built in and tether it via bluetooth or WMWifirouter when the internet is needed?

I'm looking for UMPC but it seems the Shift has too many negatives and there appear to be better things on the market, particularly given that I'm not really bothered about making phone calls from one.

Battery life, screen resolution and keyboard quality are for me the critical elements of a UMPC.

(oh and size)

If anyone can explain why they would rather have a UMPC with phone and windows mobile built in than a UMPC WITH a normal, practical windows mobile device I would be interested to hear. Seems the convergence with the Shift is a bit over-the-top and might be more impractical than practical.
[Shift General] wu5262:
I personally like the concept of HTC Shift, yes i think you are correct to treat Shift as an UMPC, however what make Shift so special is because the duo mode that it offers and the form factor. It's fair to say there are no other device which has the same concept as Shift, at least not in the market yet.

It all depends on people, some people prefer to only carry on device which does everything, some prefer to carry separates. For those people who prefer to carry it all on one, Shift is really quite a nice option. It's important to notice the difference between laptop and UMPC, they serve different purposes. If anyone is new to UMPC, i suggest you visit a well known website call UMPC Portal, they have lots of information here. And it's interesting to know, HTC Shift occur to be the most viewed device there in rank 1, and it has stay in that position for for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HyperCookieHD:
My S7's firmware kicked the bucket yesterday and had the black screen of death. Currently out the house so I had no way to recover anything and ended up factory resetting via the recovery menu.

I was planning to root before all this happened but I was waiting for Samsung Pay in UK since I wanted to try it out, but I don't really want my device locking up again and having to reset it again.

I'm thinking of installing a custom ROM since it would prevent the issue from occuring again but I'm wondering if theres anything I should know before I do, since I've seen people say that the stock Samsung camera app is the best and that any stock custom ROM camera makes the quality bad. Is there anything else I should know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Revontheus:
Just install a different stock based ROM, BSODs are caused by a myriad of reasons ranging from Kernel instability to a system modification gone wrong.

Just make sure to stick with a stock-friendly kernel or the stock based kernel to avoid BSODs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HyperCookieHD:
Alright, thanks!

I'll probably install superstock ROM or some other de-bloated stock ROM then.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Well to assist with peeps installing new Samsung Kitkat firmwares released this year, I made a quick list of odd issues that will pop up with rooting.

The new kernal will not allow titanium backup to find su. I use super su, so depending on which su you use, you may be able to operate titanium backup.

My fix, custom kernel.

Smanager fails to use rw permissions in terminal, though you can set rw permissions in advanced.

I removed asks packages, as with knox packages, so as far as I can tell asks v1.2 has no effect and is a bridge to selinux and knox.

Will try using busybox pro intead of a generic busybox with smanager, but feel the issue is within the app its self.

Will end up using jack term as a work around, until smanger is updated.

Would like to see titanium backup updated as well. So I can use the stock kernel and be happy this Kitkat is the best and most secure without the vulnerability issues still being addressed with newer builds of amdroid.

Found I get a wee better speeds, not just by the kernel replacement, but possibley from fixes done and tuning of this build.

If I find anything new I will add, but xposed and its modules seems bug free with is new kitkat.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Ok, I found the issue with term usage with rw permission.

You must use the mount remount command when at a terminal session. Unless your terminal app has a command toggle or macro to perform the proper command without typing.

Remember to also do the mount remount command for ro to close the rw session.

Everything else seems good to go. The new security seems more in tune to linux with apps needing to be more careful with setting permissions through the system perameters.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Looks like Samsung is making headway with blocking Google apps... starting with Chrome browser. Using Boeffla kernel on 4.4.2 you must use a script to make selinux passive. Never had to do that with any kernel running bare without a kernel manager before.

[Android General] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Hello everyone!

I saw that there's always some confusion about these terminologies. I wasn't able to find thread on XDA regarding to it so I decided to write about this.

This thread won't help you to recover from Hard Brick and Soft Brick situation!

●Why word 'Brick' in Android terminology was used?

When Android phone isn't operation in anyway, there was a need to name that terminology. Since Android phones are usually in shape of a brick, and since now it isn't fixable in any way, it is as good as a brick. So in that condition, it is called a "Bricked Device".

●Then why there's variations Soft Brick and Hard Brick?

Some people, without understanding history of the word brick in Android terminology, started using it when phones gets into bootloop or boots but ends up at fastboot or recovery. In these kind of situations, phone is fixable. They started opening thread naming "My phone is bricked, help please!" After some people ask in detail it comes to know that phone is suffering from bootloop problem. For them, brick situation was divided into soft brick and hard brick.

So basically Soft Brick is nothing but the problem of bootloop or all type of fixable problems that don't let you boot in to your Android OS.

●Which is common? Hard brick or soft brick?

Hard brick is very very very rare. That shows that soft brick is common. But saying phone is bricked without using word 'Soft' is totally wrong and nooby side. People need to understand why 'Brick' terminology was kept. If your phone is bricked, it is as good as a brick. So even though if chance of hard brick get less than 0.00001% it is totally WRONG to speak word brick for a soft brick.

Source: I wrote it on my own :P

You CAN copy this and share it WITHOUT giving me credit. It's okay for me. BUT copying this and pasting on your website to EARN MONEY is completly UNFORGIVABLE!

I hope you understand: )

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] hlidskjalf:
Hi everyone, i'm struck in a dead end situation. I had a soft brick the week after upgrading to nougat and due to an incorrect setting of asus mobile manager my data were not synchronized (just the phone apps and whatsapp logs). I had a stock rom, locked bootloader, no root, no custom recovery, no usb debugging enabled. I just can enter recovery mode. If i switch on the phone it goes in bootloop, I can't enter fastboot 'cause after rebooting is in bootloop again.

With adb i'm not able to copy files, the only things i get are empy folders, i can't push files 'cause I have not the permission (surely because i don't have root).

Backup with adb is impossibile because it says "now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation..." - i'm still in recovery.

The hard way to access to internal storage is install twrp, root and unloack bootloader loosing all my data. Dead end

The easy way (if really these things work) is wipe all and buy a program like drFone or EaseUS MobiSaver for Android for data recovery post-wipe.

What do you suggest?

ps: sorry but I can't add any screeshot with insert image

Thanx

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
It will come ... Someday. If you'd like to try some ROMs, do it. It's pointless to wait for something that doesn't have an ETA.

When it eventually comes, switch to it, simple.

I've also been on stock (more or less, switching between stock stable, beta, FreedomOS and ExperienceOS) for a long time, mainly because of reports that camera isn't as good on custom ROMs. Then a few weeks ago I finally got myself to try Sultan's LineageOS and I don't regret it. Now I'm definitely not going back to stock ? I did install OOS camera port to keep the same camera experience and I have to say it works perfectly.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] chinmai560621:
Try vertexos. You'll know how it's better than many many ROMs , putting up to the quality OOS offers. The dev has put in very very high efforts in porting EAS which is a deep pixel exclusive to our device and has made it better than pixel itself. You need to try it out. The other awesome ROM around here is sultan's unofficial CM14 . you can use these until aospa comes.

AOSPA never gonna be released. Their trademark should be FOREVER^TM.

Even Google released the beta android O to test it out.

The release cycle of PA is quite frustrating. Only gonna release of the rom if its stable. What's the point? I'm sure there will be plenty of bugs even after the release.

They should allow users to beta test build so that they can get more feedback to work on, instead of searching for them on their own.

It's been a month from their last post regarding some new update. What's the point of posting a comeback pic if are not gonna keep the fans informed about the rom.

I know we are not paying them and they are doing it in free time but their new egoistic approach towards the release cycle has made things worse to the loyal fans of PA. It's sad that I've to say this one day.

Hope PA stop making further development and stop damaging the name of the best rom during his days.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ShiShTuBaBu:
I think they are very close to release ASOPA, though I'm agree with you. They should have let us test.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] hampa:
There are plenty of beta testers and you can build it yourself.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] maxs8007:
Hech with the beta testers if everybody is not allowed to try it out.

Building it by self is a tedious work for a newbie and even if we decide to try out the source code it will take almost a month to download.

I feel it should not be a pain in the a** for the devs to release beta test build as they have everything related to PA on their machines and when it's possible for other rom devs to do it for their rom.

This new trend of building it yourself is really pathetic. Not everyone knows how to build a rom form source. Devs saying that shows their egoistic approach to their loyal fans.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Pjerisimo:
Nope you can't build it yourself since all of the 'good' stuff is closed source and is not available to public.

And yeah I agree that they are damaging good old PA reputation with broken MM release and seriously overdue nougat release. The only thing they delivered so far is a bunch of pointless teasing. :/
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SynisterWolf:
annnnnnnd....... thread closed.

Making ETA threads then bashing the development team for not releasing an update as fast as you want them too is disrespectful and has no place in our community. If you want the unfinished rom learn to compile it yourself and stop pressuring the developer community to post something.

I have had the t-mobile Ameo now for 12+ mths and was thinking of

i.e call quality, reception, screen etc....

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] leoni1980:
if you like windows mobile then stick with windows mobile, if you prefer symbian then go with the e90 as it's got a better screen and it's more portable. I'm kind of into symbian at the moment, and i've always thought nokia's are good in terms of reception and sound quality. Invariably it boils down to if you're familiar with windows mobile to the extent that you could ever get by with anything else. I think there are more applications on windows mobile and a bigger development group but if you're only going to be browsing, calling, texting, listing to music and watching videos i think you'll definitely be better off with the e90. That's only my opinion though
