[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjoz88:
Wouldn't a corrupt bios file mean none of the roms would work? One of the roms is working, but the rest all say failed. Anyone have that problem, if it is the bios file? Can anyone confirm that either redownloading the bios file, or getting a different one, would solve it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexluckett:
Oh yeah, sorry my bad. I didn't see that bit!

You could try re-downloading I guess, it might make a difference. What does it say when you load the non-working ROMs?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjoz88:
It says "Load Rom failed. Please try another file." or something like that. so far only Pokemon Emerald worked out of like the other 8 roms I downloaded from CoolRom.com.

maybe I should try a different bios file. I'll try that and report back to see if that's the problem. I was hoping maybe someone was having the same problem, and tried a different bios file, and then it worked. If that happened to anyone, please could you post the site where you got the bios file from? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjoz88:
Tried a different bios file, games still won't load, except for same one. Hmmmm.... anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Or could it just be that the emulator isn't supporting these games? Should I try to download a different rom file for the games that aren't working?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajay33:
Please Help

Ive tried everything to get the gameboid app to work. I dont know what to do, can you tell me exactly what you did to be able to play game boy advance games on your mytouch? I have the emulator i just dont know where exactly to put all of the files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjoz88:
Well first, you should connect your phone to your PC, and make a folder for the games you have. Alternatively, you could download a file manager app from the market and use that to create a new folder.

Then, you need a gba bios file. You'll have to google that though. Once you found one, put it in the folder you created.

When you open the Gameboid app, you have to specify where the bios file is, so find it and select it. Then just search for where you put your ROM files, and select one, and you should be set. Keep in mind, you don't need to unzip the ROM files you download, just download, and put in the folder you created, that's it.

I am still having trouble though myself with the app. I don't know if it's my phone(mytouch slide), or the bios file I downloaded, or just the rom files I got, but alot of the games I tried didn't work. more than half of them actually. Can anyone confirm if they were able to play these games:

Classic NES - Super Mario Bros.

Castlevania - Circle of the Moon

Dragonball GT - Transformation

Mario Advanced 2 - Mario World

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Monster Rancher Advance 2

Shing Force - Resurrection of the Dark Dragon

Three StoogesTy the Tasmanian Tiger 2

Those are the ones I have so far that don't work. A couple just go to a blank screen for a second, and then it goes back to the ROM select menu, without any kind of message popping up, and most just don't load or do anything, and say Load Rom failed. Please try another file.

should I contact the developer about this issue, and see if he's working on updating the gameboid to be more compatible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjoz88:
Oh, and also, you can use the Gameboid app to search for ROM files(games), just open it up, and press the menu button on your phone, and either select Search Roms, or the Rom Buddy option.

I'm having this problem with my epic as well. i would love a solution for this. its making me miss my psp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDoZ:
Hi ti everybody.

I have to say that I tryed a few games ( other games, but I'll take a look to the listed ones ) and they all work except for one: Pokèmon Emerald ( Italian version ).

I've downloaded my bios over here: ww.emuparadise.org/biosfiles/bios.html

If you cold send me or post a link to the bios you use, I'll test it.

My phone is an Xperia X8.

EDIT: Ok, I've tested your emerald & it works.

Games I've played & Work are:

-2 in 1 Uno & Skip Bo(EUR)

-Dragon Ball Advance(EUR)

-Pkmn Fire red (ITA ver)

Games that don't work for me are:

-Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (EUR)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgil1528:
So, I'm wondering if you did the same dumb thing I did. Are the games you are trying to play for the classic game boy or the gameboy advance. Many of the roms out there don't always separate them if you download them as one large file. The only game I wanted was Metroid II, greatest game ever made btw, and I was having a really hard time playing it.

Since it was an original game boy game, I couldn't use gamboid, I have to use Super GBC Lite and it worked immediately without the need of any bios file.

Hopefully it's that simple for you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trgilmore:
has anyone figured out what the main problem is yet? I have tried a few different BIOS files and that hasn't fixed the problem for my atrix. I'm looking for those italian versions of pokemon now to see if they will work

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nico1228:
rom file was the problem

guys, if it happen that you can play only even one game, that only means that there is no problem with your bios file but the rom it self because the proof is you can play other rom so for those roms that you can't play I suggest that you look for a different rom provider like loveroms.com emuparadise.com roms4droid.com and many others.. hope this helps...

Is it possible to have the camera app on video recorder mode continue recording even with the screen off? I just got a nexus one, switch from an iPhone which could do this via cycorder. Sometimes I'll record videos which are over two hours long but the screen being on it kills the battery really fast.

Is there any way I can solve this?
[HD Mini General] humphster:
The Battery in my mini behaves like it is worn out. That is, it drains very quickly and charges very quickly. Just to be sure that I have a working phone if something unexpected happens, when not in use the phone is on the cradle charging. I have a second battery on order and am hoping that the new battery will perform better than the first.

I have NoData installed and all access to 3G is blocked unless I start wifi or bluetooth. Otherwise there is nothing exceptional about the way I have the phone configured. I do check the weather twice a day and run the stocks option, and I do use it to listen to music with bluetooth stero head set maybe an hour a day.

I hate to think that this is all I can expect. If so, I will always have a battery freshly charged battery in the cradle and change batteries daily.

Howz everybody else doing? Are you getting the same sort of performance from the battery that I am?
[HD Mini General] Justphemy:
i have same problem. i think it's a problem in current roms..

last week i saw a rom with this title "a new unlock rom by fixed battry life problem" but i don use that cuz i jus use original roms :p
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
My battery is good enough. One to two days of use.

I use the phone a lot for calls, mobile excel, off line information search (such as dictionary, tranlators, encyclopedia), calendar scheduling, gps navigation (thru navicomputer), and taking notes everyday. A few to moderate number of text per day. Plus occassional online social stuffs, music, photo browsing, and ebook reading. (When i lock down to some nice ebook topics, i can read for about an hour or two.)

With all these, the battery can typically last for more than a day. Although i haven't really tested if it can last a full 48 hours. Very rarely, i can run down to a dangerously low 20% or 10%. But never experienced an empty battery shut down yet.

For all this, i'd say it's good enough. Not spectacular. But not disappointing.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
I'm particularly impressed with the battery performance under hours of gps use.

I don't really know if the gps or the battery is the great performer. But i'm quite satisfied with the performance in this department.

In fact, the acquiring of gps signal is so good, coupled with its great stamina, i decommissioned my dedicated gps device and removed it from the car, and then use HD mini as my primary navigation device.
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
4/2/2011 and i want to talk about battery life too...

I got my HTC hd mini with the latest maryone WWE rom, but

1st, never charges up to 100% but only 90%

2nd, I have no CHT installed

3rd, with some messages send and recieve, battery falls to 40% in 3-4 hours...

What the hell is happening?... :(
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Looks like it's defective.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
lol

i answered to his problem already in other thread,he is using automatically backlight,and on 70%,i'm not surprised battery is dying in few hours of using...

you are still answering to people that they have defective devices i see :p
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
I'm using automatic backlight. My unit does not behave that way.

Whatever settings you have, you should be able to charge to 100%. Not being able to charge to 100% is a sure sign that there's something wrong with the battery.

I'm trying to help this guy find answers, using his description, and supplying the most probable explanation.

I see nothing wrong with that.

I don't answer "defective device" to each and every question in this forum. Try to check. I got a couple of hundred posts. I'm sure "defective device" doesn't show up in all of them. Not even half. Not even one fourth.

I try to help with opinions from my experiences.

You try to help with yours.

Each of us contribute.

No need for antagonistic sarcasms.
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
lol guys i thank both of you for your help. I turned off the auto backlight adjustment and i will see how it seems...

So thank you both.

About the 90%, i think is about the ROM or the Taskbar. In previous roms i had not that problem...
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
1.it can be software problem(custom ROM which he is using)

2.telling is defective is not help(in my opinion) :)

3.after a quick search i found at least 30 of your posts with "defective" word :p

http://www.google.com/custom?q=bart...=2855279901&boostcse=0&oe=ISO-8859-1&filter=0

4.it wasn't sarcasm,just a funny(coincidence maybe) that when i see your posts i see you are telling to guys they have defective Mini's .

p.s. chill out man ;) dont take it so serious,people make jokes sometimes,if you dont accept that just tell me...
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
so my guess was right...ROM fault!:p
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
I think it is software problem cause the max 90% charge is happening since i upgraded my rom again at first days of January...

PS. Yeah people take things very seriusly some times...

Life is wonderful guys :P
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
Life is a B*** :p,so F*** it :))))
[HD Mini General] redeye998:
Haha, indd!

So thanx for the help anywayz guys!
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
My post, "Looks like it's defective", is a suggestion. It looks that way. It's for the owner to verify it himself. We make suggestions of possible answers. When did i insist it is indeed defective? Or even confirm that it is?

Suggesting it could be defective can help. Some had their units check, and confirmed they're defective. Some cannot confirm. For those who do, at least they got the replacement early. It's not 100% kill rate.

In my area, from the people i know, the defective rate is more than 50%. It's a good thing HTC is quick to replace most of them without much hassle. My supposed "30" post with the word defective doesn't even come close to 50% of my posts. And i'm sure not all of them is a straight shooting down of every unit i commented on. So what's the point? Trying to humiliate fellow posters? Do you get satisfaction doing such things?

Funny can be funny. You seem to have the habit of looking for the threads i posted in and shoot down every mention of defective. And then try to defeat my comment in the most sarcastic way. You keep following me around. I'm not famous. So don't waste your time doing so. It won't make you rich.

You hit someone in the head, and then said "chill out", with a wink. Doesn't make sense. You want to provoke people. And then appear very calm and peaceful.

You wanna make jokes? Sure. I actually find the first few ones amusing. Then the more you keep on doing this, it's obviously turning out to be sarcasm.

Are you provoking me to hit back at your other comments? Well, i'm not interested.

I've picked up a few useful pieces of suggestions in this forum. That's is the reason I'm trying to contribute back to try to help others. Especially the newbies. Like how i started.

That's my only point. I'm not here to amuse you, or to satisfy your ego trip.

If i've gone too far with my effort to help, someone please tell me. So that i will stop trying to contribute.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Totally UNACCEPTABLE.

Please make real jokes. Picking on others is not amusing.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
2 words: Stop whining.
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
I don't understand how a custom ROM can create such a errors. If you use the packages of the stock ROM, nothing in the software changes, so normally behaviour stays the same. Have you tried running a stock ROM?
[HD Mini General] zalaros:
redeye998

Have you performed a hard reset after flashing your mini with Madmatt's rom?
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Good. Same to you. So we're quits. Don't bother me, and i won't bother you.

Let's get back to business.

What's in this ROM? Any special apps or features?

Hey guys, my ASIAN SGS is a locked SGS.

My problem is, i changed the reg files in kies so that i can get the FROYO update JPC using the thread [HOWTO+FAQ]Get Android 2.2 Froyo over KIES or ODIN.

However, when i did it, JPC is not available anymore so i updated to JM1 from JF4.

My question is, since my phone is now registered as a UK phone because of the update i did, and i heard that the IMEI, product code things are going to change if i update to JPC, will my phone be locked when i update to JPC next time since the JPC update that i will get is the UK update.

I've been having a hard time getting tethering to work in general, but barnacle seems to be the best so far. However, there's a lot of settings that i don't know the purpose of, like channel, etc. I'm using a mac book pro.

The issues I'm having with barnacle are mainly that it disconnects my IM services randomly, and also stops responding randomly. The wifi-tether-app is worse, as it just simply stops responding and internet starts disappearing all together, the actual 3G icon starts disappearing and reappearing.

I was viewing - android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-s-s-modaco-com/313988/wifi-tether-working-on-vibrant < this thread and it gives specific settings for the phone in question.

It was a free program. Nothing to pay for or anything like that!

hi,

I've recently been looking into buying a new android device....its primarily going to be used a secondary device (my blackberry is my primary device, although i have owned a G1 and htc hero previously, so not new to android)

So basically, i want something that can be used as a tablet mainly (added phone functionality is just a bonus)...and i was considering the dell streak, the new archos 7 or 10 inch, or the galaxy tab. So i was hoping some of you dell streak owners could point out some pro's and con's of your devices so that it can help me out in making a decision

thanks!

The galaxy tab might look serious, the streaks portabililty makes it a winner, the tab's got a 7' screen but then you have that HUGE bezel around the screen, it's hardly pocket size.

2.2 vs 2.1 = Stickler

And i wish they would make thier mind up about the price, one minute it's 75% of an over glorified book reader (ipad), the next it's 25% more expensive!
[Streak 5 General] flamingsamurai:
Just look up some reviews online, Engadget and techradar did some nice reviews on it, and it gives you a good indication of how good, or bad, it is, except for the outdated software (which is all that they had to complain about).

Personally it has changed how I operate, I go on the laptop or computer much more rarely now, and its pretty nice, but really its like any other phone or tablet. Its hard to go wrong in the market right now
[Streak 5 General] raheelc:
yeah i just took another look at the galaxy tab and realized what u mean about the huge bezel, i never really noticed it before, lol...and i hope they announce the price soon too!

yeah, thanks i've already read those reviews, but i just wanted to hear some personal opinions on the device...thanks for ur opinion!

oh, and just another question, has anyone had any experience with Archos? i've heard some negative things about their devices so dont want to end up buying one if its going to be a POS...
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
I had a Blackberry Bold as a main device and a companion tablet (Viliv X70) It sucks to carry 2 devices I can tell you that, unless you use a Man-Bag or something similar, I've been looking for a big screen and portability for a while and been stuck on Viliv brand but their products don't totaly convince me and carrying 2 devices is something I don't like. I have no complains on the Streak, comparing to a full windows tablet, the streak beats it because it does what I want, browsing, check e-mails, you tube, instant messaging, mp3 player, streaming, (only thing i hate about android it is the VPN L2PT flavor it just don't like it).

Dell Streak is the perfect device for being mobile, you will find yourself not using the BB and the computer much :D
