Dropped Kingston for Patriot

lol nice and here I am once again getting away with another OJ style crime :P I hope no one works at Kingston here lol. At least I extracted valuable data which Ill post shortly so other folks can decide which to buy.

So after I got the email I called them directly and spoke to them on the phone and got RMA for full refund lol with no stocking fee and free UPS shipping label.

I call that owned for making me thoroughly testing the card :P

The data below is the actual IOPs from System (USB: Standard-A) to Device (USB: Micro-B) via USB (USB 2.0/SD 2.0). I am not using any type of card reader for this test as we only want the actual data rate of the card itself natively while its mounted in the device.

Subject: Kingston 32GB Class 4 (4MB/s) microSDHC.

lol I am glad I socialed them in to accepting it I had this card for few months and only reason I kept it was due to higher read still was better than SanDisk's read speed which was sustained around 7-8MB/s. Hopefully the plan don't backfire as I already placed order with NewEgg and still have to ship it back to Kingston. So in the end saved $60 or so and got class 10 card :P with 1gb extra space.
[Nexus One Accessories] GuySmiles:
I wish I had read this before ordering my Patriot 32GB from Newegg. I am having the exact same issues as you sound like you had.

Telus HTC Desire - Rooted - LeeDroid 2.3d

When the screen sleeps, I can't always get it to wake up and am constantly restarting the phone. I was worried it was an issue with LeeDroid, and am currently troubleshooting my phone, but it sounds like once I re-insert my 8gb card I'll be fine. Thanks for the post. Amazed that they can build a card with limited compatibility as such but I suppose that's why it's cheaper. If I figure out otherwise, i'll post again.
[Nexus One Accessories] dculp:
Not compatible with Samsung Epic 4G

My wife and I purchased two of these for our Samsung Epic 4G phones, and unfortunately this card does not seem compatible with our phones. It will format and initially seem to read the card, however after a short while both phones gave a damaged SD card error and the cards needed to be reformatted. After the second reformat, we tried to give them another go, unfortunately files just continue to be corrupted. Very disappointed.
[Nexus One Accessories] id628:
I had the exact same issue with the Patriot 16GB Class 10. Perfect on the computer using every test imaginable - but as soon as my Nexus One tries to use it corruption occurs.

Back to SanDisk, I guess.
[Nexus One Accessories] Silverexp:
Just my 2-cents on the Patriot 32gb. RMA my first one due to data & corruption issues on the sdcard. The second one had the same problem. It’s really noticeable when you use Titanium Backup. The restore process is painful and takes several tries. Then in a few days, you begin having lockups, reboots, corruptions, and your data loss. No issues with my ADATA 32gb. It’s slower when I to first fill it up, but no issues with the phone and that’s what counts.
[Nexus One Accessories] cedricj:
Just got mine today and will install it on my ADAM soon!

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion on this. They did a huge study on the greatest invention ever. You would think it would be the automobile or the electric light bulb. The invention that won, however, was the printing press - interesting.

MY FAVORITE:

Without a doubt, the greatest Android App IMHO is NANDROID. (Lol, I'm not even sure it is an "app" per se, or just a part of Recovery...)

It is the ultimate Mulligan. The perfect do-over. Ctrl-Z for flashaholics. We can try any new rom that comes along without risking a thing of the setup we KNOW we like.

That's mine, what's yours?
[EVO 4G General] weaselp1:
angry birds is mine....it makes the work day go by faster...lol
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Pulse. Not only does it eliminate the need for a bunch other apps (Android Central, Engadget, other news...), but it is beautiful and intuitive. There really is no other app that has that level of quality IMHO.

PowerAMP is a close 2nd.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Wow...Pulse is awesome. Thanks for cluing me into it.

Mine are probably:

Angry Birds

Tapatalk

RockPlayer (for playing .avi and .mkv videos)

Winamp

LauncherPro Plus
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
for me its app brain as it allows you to keep your apps list in a text file to remain consistent from flash to flash.

Pandora Radio. I use it everywhere. While I'm playing Xbox, while I'm driving, while I'm pooping, while I'm eating, plus I use it on every platform.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:

For RSS feeds you can't beat Newsrob. Not a fan of Pulse - too busy for me.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
My rss reader of choice is Feedr, but app I can't live without goes to LauncherPro plus
[EVO 4G General] SouthPhilly:
Got to agree with th OP on "nandroid"... it was the only reason I rooted in the first place. But like the OP said, not to sure it counts as an app.

With that in mind..... LauncherPro(free), Launcher-X Pro, Switch Pro, mClock and BattStat..... hmmm.... there all just widgets. They court as apps right?

If not.... Mixzing, CardAce: Hold'em and Docs ToGo.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
My top twp apps are:

Xiia player - steaming radio, best out of the few available, better than Pandora because IMHO the bit rate Pandora runs sucks ass, sounds like 24kbs mono to me. You can easily find commercial free internet radio like chronix.

Swarm - very nice torrent client.
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
Facebook! Just sayin'! :)
[EVO 4G General] indigo0086:
I thought pulse was awesome until google reader officially launched the app, I think it's much more functional than pulse though it's not at all stylish, but from a reader I just care about the content, and it's delivered nicely with the reader app.

I have a finite set of apps that I'd call best. As far as making my life easier, Titanium Backup (pro) is just wonderful. I've found myself restoring and backing up apps as I like to flash often. And it restores everything about the app, so I don't have to worry about missing stuff on a restore.

Also launcher pro has helped the convenience of using my phone. I trimmed the screens down to three and have two docks and just use folders so when I use my phone I'm not fiddling around with screens but getting exactly what I need.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Titanium Backup(pro) is number one easily in my book. hell I'm using it right now! I have most of the time around a hundred apps and its made flashing new roms way less painless

I'd say there are a lot of better apps but I end up using Klondike solitaire the most.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:

[EVO 4G General] fonseca898:
If Nandroid counts it's number one, with Titanium Backup a distant second. Without these two apps there'd be a lot less rooted phones and active rom flashing, as others have mentioned.

TB isn't my greatest app ever pick since its primary use (for me at least) is backing up all apps + data before changing roms, which again I would only occasionally do were it not for Nandroid. To be a truly great app, a program needs to extend the functionality of your phone in a way that creates a valuable new function or enhances an existing one already on your phone, making it a more essential tool in your life and possibly replacing others you currently use.

The first app I bought was LauncherPro. I've tried most of the competition, and LP is the best for my needs. It's awesome but greatest app ever? I have a feeling that many of these features will eventually end up incorporated into Android.

"Pic to pdf" type apps are pretty amazing. Yes, you can do each step individually with other apps and share the same end-product, but in less than a minute I can open CamScanner, create and then upload a finished work order to Google Docs. I purchased CamScanner after trying them all last month, it has the features I need for my job and is already saving me a lot of time.

Final answer: the Google Search widget. Is that cheating? I get access to almost anything with one button press and voice input, from sending texts to maps/navigation to a comprehensive search that searches pretty much anything you want including apps, email, calendar, voicemail, texts, the web, etc. Can anything alse compare?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Can't get it to work on my Trophy... did the email, save, use it as wallpaper thing and its black, no transparency.

Thanks,

Hi Avandor,

I don't have access to a Trophy, but if anyone else tries this, could they please mention the model they have and whether or not it works. I'll update the blog post with the information. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:

[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Hi hboos,

Try sending it from another account, as Avandor did. I sent mine from my Hotmail account. When you download, don't download the entire message. Click on the PNG attachment and then wait a few moments. Once the 'cancel' button next the attachment disappears, click again. This should open it in the picture viewer with the option to set as wallpaper. I'll update the blog post to see if anyone else with an Omina has tested it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:

and ofcourse a real big thanks to the maker and finder of this trick

[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:

[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
Hey thanks man.

i did as you said and it works

if you save the image and change it from the saved image then it doesn't work..

strange

but good work dude!
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Thanks for the feedback guys! It's strange that the transparency is lost if you load the image via the normal route. Might be one of the reasons the Zune software doesn't sync PNG files.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Created a new one for fun. Takes advantage of the fact that the screen isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated.

Or, post them here and with your permission, I'll repost them on my blog.
[Windows Phone 7 General] smuook:
Try this one out for test purposes. It's simple black png with transparency. All black wallpaper look but makes for a neat effect when you swipe up. Use zip file png for transparency due to forum upload manager size (length and width) limitations
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadoway:
Heres mine i just made.
[Windows Phone 7 General] smuook:
Here's a Zune transparent effect... preview is a jpg due to upload manager on this forum. It also resizes image and distorts. Use file in zip folder for correct image.
[Windows Phone 7 General] smuook:
Based on Ace10134 design here LINK

Remember to use the zip file image or it won't work...
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
Awesome "feature" you stumbled on there, although I'm concerned about security when the pin-lock feature is enabled. Does this not work on pin-locked phones?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadoway:
I revised my idea a bit.

download the '.zip' below and rename it to '.png'

hope you like... ill try to make more when im bored.

would be awsome, if the tiles faded in as u scrolled up. would make the lock screen look so much smoother. maybe oneday when the systems cracked open a bit more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Nice designs guys, I'll post them up on the blog tomorrow. Sorry for the late reply, needed to finish some work.

WithinRafael - It doesn't work with password protected screens. My guess is that there are three layers - background (black in dark theme, white in light theme), middle layer (tiles, apps etc..) and the lockscreen. It seems that the middle layer isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated. This would save any rendering when the lock screen is down. Therefore, all you see is the main background which appears black in the dark theme, so the transparency works, but there's nothing to see. With a password protected lock screen, I guess they only load the middle layer once the correct PIN has been entered. This can be seen if you look really quickly at the transparent bit after you enter a PIN. Just before it reaches the top, you can see the middle layer through it.

Hopefully MS see that this is a feature that people quite like and officially support it...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadoway:
i discovered a weirdness... about the transparency.

load up the one i made. but turn off your screen when u have ur email open listening the email you have....

when u turn ur screen on. ull see what i mean.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voodooutt:
Heya, Neat stuff.... Could you make one that works for a white-themed phone? Just reverse the black and white... Im not good at photo editing, Otherwise I'd do it myself.

"smooth operator"

Colorful, Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Transparent

*download '.zip' and rename to '.png'

This ones friendly with calendar reminders, they wont mess it up.

I like the gradient on the bottom because it gives it a smoother feeling when you swipe up. im really sorry about the rename stuff, i dont have a way to make a zip on my macbook at the moment. and im to lazy to go to my pc. im comfy in bed :P

I don't know how big the files can be exact , but when the file is 300Kb it isn't working .
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Wow, some cool wallpapers here. I'm going to work my way through them and upload them on my blog.

voodooutt - I'll upload a new version with the black and white reversed.

ceesheim - That's quite strange. Does the claw image work for you, because that's 410kb>

I've had a couple of people saying that their LG Optimus isn't working. Well, one says it doesn't work for him, the other says that the claw one works but the flashlight doesn't. That's quite strange because the flashlight is only 32.7kb...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
actually now you say that , yes the claw is working :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
You're not the only one ceesheim. As far as I know, I didn't do anything special with the claw. Do any other transparent images work?

Gallery is almost ready, just writing credits and such. Btw, if you'd like me to link your name to a site/Twitter, just post your link.

If there's enough demand, I might create a video showing how to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voodooutt:
Thanks, works great. My wife has the light background and saw mine, and of course she wanted it too :p One thing I've found, you can not save to phone for the transparency to work. Have to always open from email, and choose use as wallpaper. I am thinking the phone automatically saves the .png's as a .jpg's
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
You're welcome :). These transparent wallpapers are often known to be the source of envy :D lol. I think you're right about the PNGs being encoded to JPEGs. I tried different ways of getting transparency across, because the device is capable of displaying it, and finally figured it out via the email method. Maybe if the API is opened up a bit more, it may be possible to make this process easier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
you know what's weird?

if you open the email app and then lock your phone and you'll see the menu bar at the bottom...
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
I can't recreate this. Is this with the claw image or another one?
[Windows Phone 7 General] bluegreenwhite:
I used the png image with the windows logo at the center... you can also see the email or messages (SMS) rotate to landscape mode* when u touch the lockscreen (wherein the transparency will show) even before you fully unlock the phone. Cool!

*Given you locked your phone while viewing an email or conversations (SMS), for example, then rotate the phone while unlocking the phone. This will probably work on any hub that has landscape capability...
[Windows Phone 7 General] smuook:
Ok... last one. This is an original by me. It's called naked bokeh. Like before, use image in zip file, email to yourself, set as wallpaper, enjoy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Thanks smuook...added to the gallery :)

Quick update. If you find that it's not working for you, a couple of people told me they tried it with Internet Explorer (instead of FF) and it started working. Quite strange that the browser has any effect on how the image is uploaded and emailed :/.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric2k:
hmm

I have an LG Quantum from bell and i tried emailing myself links to pictures or opening via IE on phone. Both ways will not allow me to get it working.

Any ideas, such a piss off :(.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Hi Eric2k,

I've created video tutorial which you can see here that shows you how to do it step by step. Can you confirm that this is the exact method you're using? Also, it won't work on lock screens that have a password, so temporarily remove the password when testing it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric2k:
No password on lock screen.

I used the PREMADE transparent image.

I emailed it to myself/i opened the email/did the exact same "SET AS WALL PAPER" you did in video...

No go :(

I wan to unroot my desire is becasue i want to make a goldcard for backup use so i can go back to a generic desire if i had any problem

Also this maybe a stupid question. is there a backup which can backup everything like the whole system, user detail,user setting. apps setting etc

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can make a gold card now, you don't need to be stock to do it

If you're sure you have always been unbranded get the RUU in my signature (click it, it's a link to it)

A nandroid is a complete snapshot of the current ROM so restoring it will restore the phone (ROM, data, etc.) to how it was at the time you took the backup
