[MENTION=267560]Vuche[/MENTION]

Thank you so much

I turned the hard drive up side down according to pin 1 and I bent the ribbon cable to much at insertion point and I think I broke it because the original hard drive won't detect either anymore so I ordered the non-round 40 pin ribbon cable to try that. I will turn it on the 90 degrees because it's bendable and see if that works. Thanks again for your help.
[Shift General] Vuche:
No problem, it seems there are still quite a number of users for the Shift and we have to share our experiences.

It's incredible to think that you can even run win10 on it! It's been so well designed, HTC old style! Too bad no one seems interested to build this kind of handtops anymore, with a better CPU. It has everything you need: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, keyboard and it's the perfect size to me.

Like I said, try ordering different sizes in length of ribbon cables, it's always good to have spare ones and they don't cost much anyway.

Hope you'll be able to enjoy your "new" upgraded Shift soon. If you haven't done so yet, order a 2GB RAM module. It has a special connector, you have to look on eBay for it, they shouldn't be too expensive, but a lot more than standard sodimm modules.
[Fascinate General] mckeeverisdman:
Do we have a kernel that supports ext2 and ext3, and LOOP for the Fascinate?

If so.. where?

..and I can do something in the phone... how?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
If u want ext 2 or the loopback u speak of use Ryan ZA s OCLF in the market, we also have voodoo which is the real deal, and that's in ROM manager
[Fascinate General] mckeeverisdman:
I just ran through Voodoo hell and have been back... no way outside of oclf and a jt kernel non-voodoo?
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Voodoo5. More of the voodoo, none of the hell. :)

Recently seen being linked to interested users on freenode in #samsung-fascinate.
[Fascinate General] mckeeverisdman:
OK. I am interested. Where is V5? Link anywhere?
[HD7 General] poopilot:
If I get a free demo, then subsequently buy the app, does it download something new, or just unlock the app there and then?

Just wondering, if I decide I want to buy a game when away from WiFi, and it's over the max filesize for 3G data, can I do that, or do I have to get within WiFi range before I can play it?
[HD7 General] lumpaywk:
The 2 i have bought so far just unlocked (twin blades, de blob) but they are not massive games to start with. I would say not to rely on it though as i suspect it is down to the developer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mcbyte_it:
Since i got my HD2 2 weeks ago, i passed immediately to android builds with Haret, and i was happy with it, daily basis, no major issues, except eh touch freeze for 1 sec, which was even solved yesterday when i passed to a kernel with the freeze solution.

but i went back to Windows Mobile (Duttys V7 rom) for a while, and speed is SO MUCH higher, with Resco explorer i can navigate and scroll way much faster than file explorers on android (on HD2).

my question is: is this because of android not native for HD2, or android itself is slower than Windows mobile?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
I don't get any noticeable lag in my file explorer. Not compared to my gf's desire anyway. Suppose it depends on your SD card overall. I'm using a class 6 2Gb one and a class 4 8Gb one, both seem nice and snappy.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mcbyte_it:
not only lag, but graphics speed. after you've entered a directory with many files, if you scroll up and down, is it faster on a native desire device than on hd2 androids?

I use also a class6 8gb card, with windows i can change folder and scroll up/down files list much faster than in android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
I used to have that problem, I'm thinking about three weeks ago but the latest kernels have all but eliminated that as far as I can see. I'll test something like Astro with my gf's desire side by side (will have to wait til the weekend) but it feels about as smooth as butter on my HD2 :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
If you're using hastarin's kernel and you still have this problem, there must be something wrong.

But I have to say scrolling in the dock is not as smooth as on other phones. Even if you're using a native device. But that's a well known problem of HTC sense I think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mcbyte_it:
What about Power consumption on native droids? How much does Desire or Galaxy S eat when idle? my HD2 (with MDJ Sense Clean 2.4, S6.1) takes from 3-6mA on idle.

It's that now i am getting more and more into this Android OS, and will be using only it, having HD2 is great but Android still got some issues.

If i get the possibility to exchange it with an HTC Desire or Galaxy S, is it worth doing?
[HD2 General] moegdaog:
the feedback and info they got by first letting winmo users test their beta browser app with...their going to use all tht technical analysis to make a perfect flash browser for iphone. i mean hey us winmo users made them wat they are and iphoners just sat back, prolly most of them had no clue this thing even existed and now get the glory while we were the giunea pigs taken for an epic teaser ride... i mean they dnt gtta develop another beta fr us but why not keep the servers up so we can still use the old version...why shut us out completly? verry messsssed up..i feel violated. pure duechbag move on their part.
[HD2 General] lude219:
How are they owing anyone anything? How are they the douchebags? Behind every new, exciting venture is a business to be had. You get your share of free beta testing for the last couple of years and they have to put up with server maintenance and cost of bandwidth. Did you have to pay any of that? No.

The thing with server-side flash encoding is that it's very intensive work on THEIR end, not yours. This isn't like IE or Opera where it runs on your phone. The amount of data from iphone users alone (which is what? +50 millions) would be astronomical compare to the data generated from a bunch of geeks on a forum that represent less than 5% of the public. The reason why "flash" is a hush-hush topic around these big phone companies because it could cripple the whole cellular network. Imagine if you're Skyfire having to encode every Toms, James, Janes, etc flash games, youtube, sports streaming, online movies, etc etc. It's devastating. It's a very small price to pay ($2.99) for skyfire on the app store and I don't think that's going to be enough for them to support all the traffic that's coming and going.

It's easy to sit back with your feet on the table and making a blanket statement, but believe me, we all reap the benefit in the end. We get free treats for the last two years for being guinea pigs, Skyfire gets to put their final product out there, and iphone users get a taste of flash for the low price of $3.
[HD2 General] PlayStation:
Why do you even bother with that sh!t skyfire. We only needed them before Android could run on Hd2. Just download your choice of android rom and you are good to go with all the flash in the world. Believe me installing android and running it from the sd card is easier than launching the stupid skyfire browser. ;)
[HD2 General] AinsCrowbar:
Actually I agree, I dislike the skyfire team. They stopped their browser from working here in Australia. I'm not sure why, we're a fully developed country. Perhaps they don't like us.

Anyway, I've got Android installed as well so I can use that.
[HD2 General] Richy99:
and what if the user doesnt want android? ever thought of that?
[HD2 General] karendar:
Now why would anyone NOT want android? ;) haha
[HD2 General] gbajzelj:
i was a total winmo fan for the last 2 years. and i didnt want an android phone. but then i got hd2 and just for fun installed froyo on my sdcard. now froyo is all i use. i just use winmo (some clean costom 6.5.3 rom) to get me to froyo. its a great os. android all the way!:D

if you havent tried android and its apps. you cant realy now what you are missing.
[HD2 General] malkrae:
Why not complain to the skyfire developers and not here, maybe they would listen and take your comments on board.:)
[HD2 General] PlayStation:
Are you for real? the user wants flash which he can get in Android. Now if he wants flash and he does not want android let him buy the skyfire company! :mad: Maybe you can send an offer on his behalf to skyfire????? :(
[HD2 General] moegdaog:
no....i will not get android. i like my winmo 6.5...i dnt think i need to chng my os just to get a flash browser. i was just venting...skyfire used us man..i mean ide pay 3 bucks fr skyfire...not that ive ever payed money for an app in my life but skyfire.. hey why not, i want that browser option.
[G Tablet General] ojo8:
I've had a nook color for about a week now and I recently found out about the Gtab. Do you think I should return the nook an pickup a Gtab instead? I mostly use my nook to read comicbooks and browse the web. What I love most about it is the screen. It's simply beautiful. Would the trade off for a larger but inferior screen, flash, and tegra be worth it?
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
The nook color is an e-reader, and the gtab is a tablet. I also got a nook (for about 24 hours) as I was examining potential tablets to get someone for christmas and was not impressed. It does e books extremely well, but the nook ui didn't offer the customization or smooth web browsing I wanted. Understand the the gtab NEEDS to have custom roms loaded to make it usful, but it offers me the android experience I wanted.

But if you just use it to read comic books, the nook excels at that. Besides it will get flash next year.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
Researching the Nook is what got me looking at tablets with Android on them in the first place. Although nice, the Nook really is a much more limited device. And the for the price, too much for what it offers (same as the Kindle imo).

After going with the TnT Lite ROM put together by Roebeet, my G does 98% of everything I need, and I'm sure the rest of the wrinkles can be ironed out over time. So I guess what I am trying to say is if you don't mind following the threads here and doing a little leg work, go with the ViewSonic G.
[G Tablet General] ojo8:
I picked one up at Sears today. The first thing I did was load up clockworksmod and ran a full backup. I've tried zPad and TnT Lite so far and I think i'll stick with TnT Lite for now. I'm impressed with the browser and how well flash works on the tablet.

The biggest drawback for me is definitely the screen. I can't help but compare the screen to my nook color. I can view my nook color from any angle and the picture quality is still great, benefits of an IPS screen I guess. While there is really only one way to hold the gTab to get a good view of the screen, which is in landscape mode and directly in front of you. Portrait mode or any viewing from the side just makes the display look washed out.

I'm going to give it a full week before I decide if I want to keep it or not. The software bugs don't bother me much since I know many of the kinks will be worked out by the great mods at XDA but don't know if I can live with the screen.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A 7 inch device, imo, is too small for comics. I heard that the Nook screen is very nice, but you'd really want a 10 inch device. I primarily bought my GTab as a comics reader.

Here's a screen grab of ACV. Notice that the top / bottom are chopped off a little, but it's still very readable versus a 7 incher. I know this because I used to own a 7 inch Pandigital Novel:

The contrast is a big dark in portrait mode and you might have to tilt it slightly to correct. But I think it's fine for comics - ACV is the primary app I use on my Gtab.

EDIT: Didn't read all the posts first - you already know this. :) I think it's time for bed.....
[G Tablet General] ojo8:
Thx, i'll try out AVC later tonight. I tried loading perfect viewer earlier today but it ended up crashing. Too bad cuz I like its controls for scrolling through comic books.

The 7 inch screen is definitely too small to read comics in portrait mode but it does pretty well in landscape. The nook color doesn't support cbr/cbz files and converting them to ePub isn't an option since it messes up the pictures. I found that making a pdf file out of the images is the best solution.
[G Tablet General] switt:
I like my G Tab for a lot of things but if your primary use is as an e reader the Nook Color is better by design. The Nook Color is slower and less capable but its got the all important nice screen. So, if you want a multipurpose device that has some fun hacking options and beastly potential then the GTab is it, if you want what is primarily a color ereader the Nook Color is superior.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I'm still debating picking up a Nook Color IF it gets some attention(doesn't need alot as it will be a 2ndary device for me for reading in poorly lit conditions), IF I can justify the cost.

Unlike alot fo you guys, seemingly, I haven't read comics since I was a little kid, but do read quite a bit of fiction for which 7" (and smaller) work perfectly plus the smaller form factor is just plain and simply more portable, i.e. 7" is practically pocketable and anything smaller is, plus I can one hand handle 7" and smaller while that just ain't gonna happen with 10+" ...
[G Tablet General] ojo8:
I would have to agree, what I like about the nook color is it's smaller form factor. It's far more portable than a 10 inch tablet. At first I was leaving my nook at home but now I'm bringing it everywhere with me. With free wifi just about everywhere or the option to tether off my phone, it's pretty easy to use my nook for both reading and web browsing.

I think the novelty of browsing the web on a smartphone has finally rubbed off. Using a larger screen just makes the experience so much more enjoyable. In another years time, I can see myself deciding between buying a new smartphone or a new 7 inch tablet.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Yep, getting used to the Gtablet and then using my Incredible for similar functions is a big sight adjustment! :eek:

I regret returning my Gtablet, but was within a few days of the return window. May need to take a trip to Sears...... Holiday 60 day window if needed :)

I also backed my internal space up, so just have to copy it over, install Tnt Lite 2.0, run Titanium, market fix and BAM!! Back in business :)

Added: Whatever the case, OEM needs to at least fix the bluetooth issues, keyboard options and accelerometer.
[G Tablet General] phfaty:
I just returned my G-tab and got a 16gb wifi Ipad.
[G Tablet General] TainT:
I ended up with both the tab and the Nook Color for a few days. The difference is a LOT more then I expected.

The Nook Color is nice but like everyone else has said it pails in comparson to the functionality of the Galaxy Tab.

Having said that.....xda works wonders and I`m betting the nook color will have a lot more success and be really neat once the guys get er all modded up.

If your interested in a little comparioson Vid....I youtubed one yesterday.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
That's the Samsung G-tab -- this is the Viewsonic forum!
[G Tablet General] TainT:
was going on the op post....relax
[HD7 General] Z51:
anyone else with similar issues?

the HD2 had AWESOME sound, and this phone has a ****ty speaker. this is a BIG NO NO for me as it will lead me to stray from this HD7
[HD7 General] psn1819:
sound fix

go into the htc hub and download the sund enhancer app..the settings will definitely improve the sound
[HD7 General] nesher:
Even with sound enhancer it sounds like crap. I'm trying to give my hd7 back to handler.
[HD7 General] tonarm:
Sound imho is ok, but it is far too quiet.

Anyone with a hint to boost audio is my hero!!!
[HD7 General] eternalemb:
+1. Calling it crap is ridiculous. It's just too damn quiet. The headphones that come with the HD7 are excellent though. I wish there was a way to make the speakers louder too though...
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
I wouldn't be suprised if the speakers are exactly the same as the ones in the hd2.

Seems for somethings they are loud and decent, and for others you can barely hear.

It would be nice if they would make the sound volume consistent across the phone.
[HD7 General] tfn:
Must agree that the phone speakers are rubbish, but i guess HTC and MS want us to use headphones with it like apple,

as you know they seem to have copied the best of both apple and android with this device
[HD7 General] Mujja:
My iPhone and iPad speakers are loud enough to share a video or game with others. With the HD7 it's embarrasing sharing a video when you can barely hear it yourself and that's with the vol at max and hand cupped around the back trying to amplify the sound.
[HD7 General] yly3:
The quality is indeed crappy BUT has anyone noticed that there just a few days ago there was a Sound Enhancer update? I did it and it sounds slightly louder when it comes to notifications. I am not a fan on playing music/video through speaker and I use my Sennheiser headphones when it comes to listening. And boy turning SRS on it sounds like my legendary N91 ! And that was one of the musts for me.

But, indeed, it would have been cool to have a decent speaker.
[HD7 General] Z51:
i returned the HD7 because of the crappy speaker. gonna wait for another WP7 release with a louder speaker
[HD7 General] jasonsharp:
Yes, poor it is.

When I put it into the pocket, I always let the camera side face outside, bcz the speaker is next to the camera, otherwise can bearly hear the incoming calls.
[HD7 General] alesscam:
i have flash new rom shipped sharing from football

and the sound is improved in my hd7
[HD7 General] tonarm:
Which new rom???

:eek:

[HD7 General] frankd14321:
After I got the HTC sound enhancer the speakers is better than my HD2... i love how people are in search for the perfect phone... in everyway... Might as well design, build, and sell your own custom phone.
[HD7 General] eternalemb:
+1. People are idiots. It's just a small sign of how our society expects everything for nothing...
[HD7 General] phonepersonality:
This is so NOT cool.

People are idiots because they expect their expensive devices to function the way they've been advertised to function?

Really?!

I don't think this is even a case of expecting everything for nothing. There are standards and these companies that want our hard-earned money need to adhere to them instead of spending millions of dollars on misleading AD campaigns; telling everyone that their devices are the best thing since sliced bread, but are too greedy to do any real QA on them because time to market is short and besides, they're really only concerned about the bottom-line.

Quality loudspeakers on a cellphone is one of the least things you should expect from a phone these days. Every smart AND dumb phone out there has a speakerphone. Its not rocket science.

For crying out loud, these jokers even designed to phone in such a way as to EMPHASIZE the speaker grilles on the top and bottom of the phone.

And yet the sound is obviously tinny and pathetic.

And by the way, downloading software tweaks to make your phone work the way its supposed to work right out of the box doesn't make you smart...it makes you the guy who paid HTC for the privilege of doing their work for them.

Congratulations!
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Speakerphone on this phone is just plain embarrassing.

My g/f has the LG Optimus 7 and when is on a call on full volume and NOT on speakerphone it's actually louder than me ON speakerphone.

Now how bad is that?

[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Its only going to be a matter of time before people will need to send phones back under warranty for whatever reasons so a guide for unrooting will be needed.

Any takers?

G2 already has one, but obviously we will need different rom/hboot etc to go back to our stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Not just unrooting, but going completely back to stock, i.e. S-ON and stock ROM.

As you say, we should be able to base it on this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835971

Although we have several different stock ROMs, e.g. European, Asian, Vodafone UK, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
this is already covered in the FAQ (easy tutorial @ dev forum)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9143411&postcount=2
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That just says to use Visionary to turn off rooting. Or did I miss something ?

As I said, I think we need to cover how to return a phone completely to stock, and I don't think it includes all that you'd really need to do, or if you didn't use Visionary in the first place, e.g. the kind of stuff in the G2 post that I linked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
It does say to flash an RUU to S-ON which in the past I would have said would work, but seeing how the G2 forums are not suggesting that its that simple my guess would be that its not that simple.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
I had to flash the PC10img thing taken from the stock ROM to restore root and s-on. But no idea how to extract that PC10img thing, not that I have looked into it either.

That info was from one of the guides in the dev section I'm sure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
What might work now will probably not work once an OTA update comes out for the DZ though, as per the problem on the G2 they've had which has led to quite a few semi-bricks (possibly full bricks in some cases ?).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Done some research, it would seem that flashing an RUU would work fine for those of us already rooted, if an OTA were to come out those who rooted after the OTA would have issues unless an RUU for the same OTA was released as well. (this is basically because the RUU's currently available will be older than the software the phone is on so the RUU would fail leaving you with a semi-bricked phone as described above, basically it would flash stock hboot and recovery then fail to flash the /system so you would be left with no root or recovery and no rom.

Flashing the ruu would give rise to accepting the OTA too, if you really wanted to do that, but it might block root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
you just need the RUU for your correct original phone version

OR use a gold card

eg. I have debranded mine from bell NAM 1.34.666.5 to euro generic 1.34.405.5

To go back to stock, I can:

1.- grab the bell 1.34.666.1 RUU (its slightly previous, but is the correct original version for my phone)

OR

2.- run the euro generic 1.34.405.5 with a golcard inserted
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Isn't that dangerous though once we get any OTAs, and could lead to this ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484

Or am I missing something ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Yes thats what I was getting at in my post above, any RUU you flash needs to be of the same or newer version of what your previously flashing. You cannot GoldCard to flash an RUU to S-ON or you get left with the semi-brick where you have stock recovery and hboot, but no rom installed.

So if an OTA comes out, you can't accept it, s-off then use an older RUU to s-on again. You would have to flash an RUU of that OTA version (if one is released).

Basically its best to not accept any OTA if you can avoid it and just wait for a custom rom of the same, that way we can always use the older RUU's to s-on if we need it.
