What does that suppose to mean?! Anything made in China should be a fake? I admit there are counterfeit products in China but that isn't EVERYTHING from China. Genuine export goods made by genuine factories in China are actually better quality then the same product sold within China. I hope you are aware that more than 60% of all the stuff in all the shops in the whole world are manufactured in China, and they are GENUINE stuff from designer cloths to smartphones - why? Because it high quality with low cost. What do you think made all these hi tech toys and gadgets so affordable to almost everyone in the world? It's because they cost very little to make in China, and it is the factory workers are taking hit by being paid very little. You should thank them!
[Desire HD General] SW7:
As far as I know, I'm not sure about the ones exported from Taiwan, but the DHD's sold within Taiwan are made with a different screen which is not as good as the ones made in China for the export orders in Europe (according to Mobile01).

I hear that the early models made in Germany also make toast. It may not be true, I'm not 100% sure. ;)

so i really **** the bed on this one, i was updating through kies to froyo on my SGS with Bell canada, and im retarded and un hooked my phone from the pc on accident, my phone will not connect to the pc what so ever now, and it will not get off the screen that shows a picture of a mobile phone...triangle caution sign....computer. I can't believe i was stupid enough to unplug it lol, and now this is what im faced with and i can't find any information. its killing me! i just wanted froyo! haha

please help, greatly appreciated (i'm a noob)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
It always helps to use the HELP feature. You need to get your device flashed now since its "bricked".

Either you take your device to Samsung Service center or if you are brave enough, you can try flashing the phone yourself- Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596&highlight=Flashing+guide
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
Maybe its still possible to do a factory reset through Recovery.

Shut down the phone (wait for the last buzz or take out the battery for a moment), and then,

- press volume up, home, power in that order and keep all pressed

- wait for the second appearance of the white Samsung Galaxy I9000 logo and release power, home, volume in that order

- a recovery menu should appear where you can choose Factory Reset

Legen...wait for it...darryy!!

Awesome i saw ur post in the dev thread made my day!:D

Two questions 1) you mentioned in the dev thread it was restarting quite often is that fixed?

2)is there any means to flash it in internal memory?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff2:
1. Yes, thats fixed, it works fast and stable ! (there's one big problem - sdcard is not properly seen for camera/music), still testing it ..

2. Yes, it will be possible to flash into internal memory later.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] muzik_demon:
1) For the first problem i recommend throwing a pm to zdzihu- he has employed the same technique to get dual boot in x10 and his rom is able to access sdcard for camera/music but we cant mount sdcard

2) If flashing into internal memory is straightforward then i recommend it since it will solve all the above problems :)

Looking forward to testing

(where can i get x8.img and data.img? or are you gonna release it in some time?)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] tn9:
Well done pulpoff2, I will test this solution, when I gone back home from work. Thanks :D

No, do as I wrote in first post, move 2.1 files over 1.6 files, than just remove system and userdata and flash than..

I'm flashing all files without system and userdata .phone booting only sonyericsson logo.:confused: overwrite files and delete user data and system?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:
may be superuser.apk put inside of your firmware?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff2:
It is inside the x8.img, as well as su and rootshell and busybox.

So if phone gets stuck on boot, connect adb and u can get root in console and fix problems.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dviktor:
and if i am right understand all running files be booted from sd card? and if it's unmount the phone will be still work? or it will be freezing or rebooting? and may be then we can start 2.3 on expiria x8?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] pulpoff2:
/system and /data are mounted from x8.img and data.img from Sdcard.

This is good to debug problems, without need to reflash the phone every time.

Once we have the Xrecovery for X8, it will be easy to replace/update files like on X10i.

Without sdcard, you will have 2.1 kernel with 1.6 system, it will get stuck on boot, but adb shell will work (with root!), so you can investigate/fix problems/put new /system files.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] isaac12:
I'm flashing all files without system and userdata .phone booting only sonyericsson logo. overwrite 1.6 files and delete user data and system?. :confused: how to long wait for booting phone?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Yes you can just pull the images from another evo framework. If you want to add extra images like adding battery percent, you will have to edit some XML files if the framework you are adding them to doesn't originally contain them. As long as you are just replacing files you should be good to go.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eVoKINGS:

Can i just swap pngs from one res to another and leave the 9s or do the 9s have to stay with corresponding pngs or are they two seperate enteties! Do the 9s in a res effect the pngs within the file!

Can i just swap res for res!

How about swapping the whole drawabale hdpi file, pngs and all!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
Pretty much if the filenames correspond from the different roms then your rom will pull it correctly. Draw9 patching isn't too difficult as long as you understand how to patch/recompile them; otherwise, editing them is as simple as photoshop or gimp. Also, certain files will show up as index color in photoshop and I pretty much stay away from those since it's too bothersome to recompile them. An example of mashed up themes would be lowrider's theme that uses components of various themes.

[Nook Color General] dreadlord369:
Hey guys I just saw this

(Since I cannot post links go to BJ's website and look up "Elocity 7")

Its specs look pretty good plus it has an HDMI output and it already runs froyo. Do you guys think it would be work returning my nook color for one of these? Or do you guys think that the lack of third party support (meaning xda) means that in the long run the nook would be better than the elocity?

The reasons I was considering it was because of the tegra 2 chip, froyo, and the 1080p hdmi output(it would be nice to hook this thing up to our projector and watch movies off of it). Honestly I don't need those features but they would be nice. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] eggman618:
That thing is $369.99 according to Amazon.com. Also it is currently out of stock.

The NC is currently available at any Barnes and Noble at the cost of $250 :)

tldr; NC is cheaper and available now.
[Nook Color General] msid:
The nookcolor has a higher resolution screen - something I would consider to be important.
[Nook Color General] dreadlord369:
Well at BJ's its only 299 which isn't too much more than the Nook.

Yea I have to admit the screen on the nook is very nice... However while I do care about the screen quality I also have to take into account the rest of the features.
[Nook Color General] hashbrown:
mytabletlife.com/2010/12/11/elocity-a7-finally-start-shipping/

I placed an order for one weeks ago from amazon. Hopefully it wont delayed any longer.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
While the Tegra 2 sounds nice, if the screen was on par with the NC I would flinch, but it isn't, so the "extras" cant make up the fact its not as readable as the cheaper NC Ereader. I personally have a TV with USB inputs, so HDMI out isn't the happnin feature it all cracked up to be. Once we are Froyo'd, CM6'd, and OC'd to 1.2, I think most of us will be happy as clams :-)
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
That's just generally the tough call though. While the camera and HDMI are cool, they're not incredibly important. The tegra chip is huge though. If you go for the A7, you're getting a smaller battery and a way worse screen i'm sure. My thing is, I only want to do two things, play games, and read comics. Based on those two requirements alone can anyone suggest which would be better? I'm really torn on this. I think the Nook color is much better looking and the build quality is probably better, but i'm really not interested in reading ebooks at all, comics yes, books no. For me it's purely a tablet device. I know that there is a lot of progress being made on the NC...I guess what i'm asking is, can anyone confirm or deny that they feel the graphics hardware will eventually make me regret picking a NC over the A7?
[Nook Color General] neozen21:
For that price, you might as well just get Notion Ink's Adam tablet!

$375 for the Wifi only LCD version. Should be shipping out soon too.

Much better specs and a decent screen (10" 1024x600).

Dual Core A9 with Tegra 250, 1GB memory
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I don't know about the OP, and i'm not trying to hijack their thread-just looking for similar input. I really like the Adam tablet, but I want a 7 inch tablet. So it's really between the NC and the Elocity for me. I have to decide if sacrificing build quality for a tegra is worth it.
[Nook Color General] bruceleroyjr:
BJs is selling it for $299:

http://www.bjs.com/webapp/wcs/store..._src=14110944&ci_sku=121648111&sc_cid=DF#more

Now, I have a little buyers remorse :T
[Nook Color General] dvanburen:
800x480? What are they thinking, not even a contest IMO.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
Yeah, I thought about it. I ordered the Elocity, and then promptly attempted to cancel my order. The only category that the elocity beats the nc in my opinion is tegra, but that's because I don't care about BT, camera, or HDMI out. I prefer the build quality, size, bezel, screen, and battery on the NC. So that's the one i'm going with.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I was trying to decide on the same

I ordered the elocity:

Rationale for me is:

I own an iphone. It's biggest failing for me is the absence of flash.

I have owned but will be returning a g tablet from viewsonic that also is tegra 2 based.

The thing is fast and can easily run full screen flash video without a hiccup.

For me I want this device to be a:

internet and i mean full internet browser

an E-reader

mail and office device

and to have many apps like games news productivity....

The Nook color will not have a way of using another keyboard since no bluetooth or usb.

The processor is way underpowered for flash. Heck flash was stuttery on a galaxy tab.

As far as form factor the specs are near identical in size of A7 and nook

The single button for nook is also an issue unless u do a loto of hacking.

The A7 will have the ability to run honeycomb when it is out and so will have a longer practical lifespan.

The only things better on the nook are the screen though it is unclear yet if the elocity screen will be good or very good (videos of a similar device rebranded seemed to show good viewing angles) and 4 vs. 8 gb of storage (for me not a deal breaker with 16Gb sd cards costing 30$). now sure 800x480 is not as good a resolution, but this is a 7 not 10 inch tab so I am not sure it will make much of a difference. After all this is still better than DVD resolution so should be fine for reading and web.

As for battery life, I think the difference i s 4000 vs 3200 in favor of nook so not a huge difference real life we are looking at probably 1 hour difference, but A7 has ambient light sensor so could be better at battery saving

A7 has ability to output hdmi, so can bring hi def movies downloaded to people homes and watch on their TV

Has webcam to enable videochat

Has bluetooth for connectivity and most importantly the newes latest processor that ensures a much longer time before obsolescence.

Finally from what I read Elocity will have an open source ui which will allow people to really customize it
[Nook Color General] Masterface7:
Yea I would say the biggest thing going for the A7 is the out of box stock froyo so it is easy to customize and things just work for it and the terga 2 is only the second most important. The Nooks processor should be able to watch hd video if it gets optimized.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
but wont be able to run flash which for me is a deal breaker

for 399 would rather get ipad with 16gb bluetooth appstore bigger great screen better battery life

but no flash.....
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
I agree... but BT would be the only thing I wish we had.

Having said that, I feel (IMHO) that Bluetooth is just around the corner. Someone will somehow find a way to use the Droid X drivers and get use of the SoC which presumably has bluetooth capability.

Who knows... maybe B&N might surprise us all and include it in their 2.2 update. Now wouldn't that be a nice belated christmas gift?
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
My nokia n900 has an A8 clocked at 600mhz (while stock) only 256 RAM, and runs flash like a champ. NC may not run it out of the box, but with 2.2 around the corner, via a custom ROM or an official update from BN, this device will run flash, and it will run it well.

update: crap, BJs already sent out my A7 even though I tried to cancel my order. Well, now I have a boxed NC and A7 for xmas, and one of them has to go back. uggghhh
[Nook Color General] dvanburen:
I hope it works out for you. Personally, after using my netbook off an on (only used away from the house) I find 1024x600 pretty small for web surfing, much less 800x480. Most phones run this resolution with a 3"-4" screen.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I found this little nugget on the elocity a7 website...this is in their FAQ....anyone want to take a shot at WTF they're trying to say? (or NOT saying)

"Q: If I add an emulator for Super Nintendo, is the screen capable of having multi-touch so that I can run with one hand and jump with the other?

A: Yes, you can install the Super Nintendo emulator, but some of the games may not work properly."

or how about this one?

"Q: Is the touch screen multi-touch?

A: The A7 Tablet supports Multi-Touch functions. The built-in browser and photo viewer support zooming in/out by two of your fingers. However, multi-touch functionality on many third party apps is not supported."
[Nook Color General] dvanburen:
I think they are basically saying that it is application dependent, and not to come crying to them for support if/when third party applications don't work as expected.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I find it hard to believe that true flash video running on a website runds smoothly when it chokes the archos and the samsung galaxy tab both of which run 1ghz processors
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
What that means is multitouch is built in to the hardware but the software written has to take advantage.

Perfect example is the lack of multitouch in the nook color stock browser but it exists if u load dolphin
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
You make a really good point. I hope you're right, because I was having a minor panic attack over here. If that's the case maybe i'll stick with the A7...I know the NC is prettier, but in the long run I may want the speed that comes with the tegra.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I mean it's stuttery, but it gets better as you OC it. It's not perfect, but I would assume that with alot more RAM, and a better CPU it would increase. I guess it also depends on the quality, the only time I really watch flash on my phone is if i'm streaming a soccer game, and most of those are kind of crap quality to begin with, but it does play the game smoothly without freezing, and maintains audio.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
at then end of the day one has to be happy with their purchase

I think the nook color screen for its price is best in class

I wish they offered the NC HD with same chassis but tegra2 chipset built in camera and 3 g option and charge 350-400$ for it.

For those of us who cant wait until 2-3 months from now when a whole bunch of new mainstream tabs come our way from likes of motorola acer.......this is the only 7 inch tegra tab out
[Nook Color General] hashbrown:
Mine has been shipped, arrives the 16th December. I was swayed by the NC and went to B&N several times to play w/. One thing that kept occurring was the keyboard issues. Not pressing any keys but letters kept being entered in text field multiple times. This has to have a better screen than the Viewsonic G Tab, that thing wasn't pretty at all plus the stock T&T UI was a nightmare. Best 7in tablet at the moment.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I have the gtab and sadly I finally got it all working beautifully with modded rom such that the only negative is the poor viewing angles but it is running fast with nice replacement UI.full market.....

Of course this happened hours after I got my shipping notice for Elocity

Hope the elocity is as good as it looks. I know specs are great but if screen resolution or viewing angles are inadequate....I might just hang onto the g tablet until the elocity arrives. Tricky part for me is being in canada and all this is occurring at family in Florida....SO elocity should get there by end of week and I get there the following thursday.

I will be curious to get your feedback before I go away!!!!

As if you find it better than gtab or nook color I will revert my gtab to stock and have it ready to return when i arrive in florida.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I preordered the A7 from Amazon back at the beginning of November...had my order cancelled, decided on the NC, saw the a7 on sale for $299 from BJ's, impulse bought it, tried to cancel my order, too late they shipped it anyway :D it's been an ongoing mental struggle for me between these. I can't wait to see an unboxing and some user reviews on the A7, I really hope it's a great device and in the end I ended up with the right device.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
also hope since the ui is open source that rooting and getting market will be easy and quick.
[Nook Color General] hashbrown:
Good observation. I don't see any mention of vendor UI except Froyo 2.2.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
It looked like the original sample models that were still running 2.1 had a funky UI, you can do google searches for the compal naz-10 or the pre-production Aigo n700 videos. I'm pretty sure that they went for stock Froyo on the A7 though.
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
last that I heard the question was is it a scam. Tegra2 is just sick fast! Now I have to pick again if I can find an elocity a7 for $300 Nook or a7.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
looks like some initial first impressions are starting to show up on amazon. I'd really like to see some video of it in action. So far one issue I've read about is people are having trouble side loading some apps. (angry birds)
