[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Ok so I saw this rock outside my house and it looked pretty sweet. I'm starting to doubt my MT4G purchase, so I decided to make a list of pros and cons for both.

MT4G

Pros:

- Operates as a phone

- Better benchmarks

- HSPA+

- Awesome amount of memory

- Wifi Calling

Cons:

- Breaks when I throw it at things

- Does not seem to beat paper nor scissors

- Doesn't skip easily on ponds.

Rock

Pros:

- Amazing battery life

- Can be used to make primitive tools

- Fits well in my palm

- Great for stoning witches

- Great paperweight (thanks laztpn0i)

Cons:

- Calls drop like a...well...a rock

- Beaten by paper

- People seem to be less jealous of it when I show it off

So what do you guys think? I can still take back my MT4G, but I just can't seem to decide between this and the rock...input appreciated.
[myTouch 4G General] OnE ShoT:
lmao whattt?
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
What's the Quadrant score on the rock?
[myTouch 4G General] laztpn0i:
You also need to add that it makes for a great paperweight. lol
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Still waiting on it to finish
[myTouch 4G General] Hinouchi:
hahaha thanks for the laugh. XD
[myTouch 4G General] Bigirish:
Best post I've read today... I needed that chuckle!
[myTouch 4G General] TmobileDash12:
I'd get the rock if phantom skins have cases for it xD
[myTouch 4G General] woldy2:
how well does the rock play with angry birds? is it more realistic?
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I threw it at some birds and they got pretty angry. It was crazy realistic.
[myTouch 4G General] student.driver:
To quote Steve, you're using it wrong. ;)
[myTouch 4G General] hkbladelawhk:
I'm laughing so hard, I'm in tears.
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
rock never bricks no matter how many times you flash it, lol
[myTouch 4G General] foxdl99:
I'm almost positive I could get it to skip, 3 or 4 hops at least. Hilarious post!
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Has the rock been permrooted yet? And can it be overROCKed?
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
LMAO at "overROCKed?".
[myTouch 4G General] Flozzo:
Hilarious!!!
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
I understand the guys at Cyanogenmod are having trouble with it. They didn't want to say, but I think we all realize that rock is going to be hard to crack. (sorry, I couldn't resist)
[myTouch 4G General] student.driver:
It's called being "rock-blocked."
[myTouch 4G General] slhpss:
if being beaten by paper is a con then isn't beating scissors a pro??? and also does the rock support hspa+?
[myTouch 4G General] daewond3r:
I'm not sure what inspired this, but thank you for making my afternoon. Very funny.
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
IMHO, a tree is the clear winner. There is no DOUBT we're getting root access right off the bat.
[myTouch 4G General] Tennistrb7:
Just gotta say this is Best comparison i've seen yet to mt4g. LoL :). Rock is tough competitor imo.
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
But can you imagine trying to un-root that thing... for, say, sending in for a replacement?

Rock

Pros

+ most solid constuction ever!

+ doubles as a weapon (self defence)

+ is fire and water proof.

+ can be handed down to your kids in "like new" condition.

Cons

- weight. 156 grams.

- no expandable memory.

- droppes every call.

- bulge in pocket

- and the deal breaker was..... the grainy screen!
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
Yeah, good luck trying to explain that one at work.

*looks at bulge* "Oh my gosh! You're such a pervert!"

"No. it's not what you think. I've got a rock in my pocket. I just got it. Come back, I can show it to you!" *gets called in to HR*
[myTouch 4G General] $pitacular1:
You forgot a few pros and cons

Rock

Pros:

Windows easily defeated

Similar quality whether from China or Taiwan

More robust than donuts, frozen yogurt or gingerbread

Great for playing SPLAT! bugs (all versions)

Device upgrades are free with no waiting period

Still better than the Nexus S

Cons:

Can't get Wifi to connect

Requires finger protector instead of screen protector

Face to face chat is painful

GPS is only accurate to planet level
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Hahaha this topic is jokes

MT4G

Pros: porn

Cons: can't get you stoned

ROCK

Pros: potential of getting you stoned.

Cons: no porn

Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G

[myTouch 4G General] aangrywombat:
I'm thinking glacier beats rock should be a new slogan for this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] ColombianMax:
LOL! Here's my addition

MT4G

Conversation starter/Chicks dig it

Cons

$30 for a case???

No physical keyboard

ROCK

Pros

Doesn't require a case

Conversation starter/Chicks dig it

Cant get a virus

Cons

[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Awesome thread. It's not often I sit in front of the computer/MT4G screen and actually laugh out loud.

This made my day.
[myTouch 4G General] Christopher3712:

They're iPhone guys.

[myTouch 4G General] mixer5911:
Haha nice!
[myTouch 4G General] guttus:
Wtf! I have never laughed so hard at anything phone related.

Rock cant be bricked. Mt4g can........
[myTouch 4G General] royhobbs:
Funniest thing I've read in a long time that nobody else will understand. Thank you. The Angry Birds bit almost made me blow my chicken noodle soup out my nose. :)

BTW, A lot of guys reviewing the MT4G say it feels good in the hand, how does the rock feel in the hand?

Good build quality?

Are there any car/desk docks for it. I want a car dock for the rock.

Rock Car Dock. Displays your rock where it's easy to see, swivels, rotates, tilts, holds it very steady.

[myTouch 4G General] chrisjs81:
How long is the remorse period on the rock? I might pick one up just to compare... I can't decide. Help!!
[myTouch 4G General] naturalista:
IDK.... How am I supposed to tell if I have a good or bad display on the rock?

At least I won't have to worry about getting one with creaky buttons!
[myTouch 4G General] thatsthat:
Epic rock is Epic! Great thread!!
[myTouch 4G General] Fisherman619:
Is the rock going to get gingerbread??... CM7!

PLEASE tell me someone is working on it!!!
[myTouch 4G General] fandroid93:
Personally, i think the rock is a good choice.

No one will steal it.

No one else has anything like it. and if they do, just chop it in half. it will understand.

No need for a case.

It has been around for a couple thousand years so its here to stay.

Overclock to whatever you want.

Angry Birds and Paper Toss are very realistic games that literally put you in the action.

Storage is pretty good depending on the size of the rock and how far you want to dig into it.

Charging!?!? Who needs it?

No need to worry which screen you have.

Just some pointers.

[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
I heard there's gonna be TONS of dev for the rock. I'm talking walls, foot paths, wells, landscaping. RIDICULOUS.
[myTouch 4G General] johnson8cyl:
Lmao. This is hilarious. Made my wait in the hospital worth while. Thanks a ton for the great read.

Bought my gf the mt4g and she loves it. I bet if I had a big enough rock I could get it from her. :)

Hey guys, I've been scouring the net looking for the Logitech Harmony app (doesn't appear after the market fix) but just can't find the apk. Anybody have an idea where I might find it?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] copc:
Scan it

Found it here

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Alpha06:
I opened up that free apk site and my browser went ballistic....popup spam, cycling php site requests. :mad:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kujars:
Im sorry but this thread's title is a little misleading. From what I can tell this app does not show up in the marketplace for people running android 2.2 as I could find it in 2.1 but when I updated to 2.2 today I could no longer find it. I need the APK file. I want to attempt to install it manually and see if it will work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kujars:
Here's the apk for those having trouble finding it on the marketplace. It just doesn't show up on some devices.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6NJIW14N
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 4rs fed:
whats this app do? I have one of there remotes
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hhonig:
Thank you very much kujars! I was able to dl and install the app perfectly. I've been looking for this apk for 3 weeks as market doesn't work on my gtab. If it wasn't for this website and the help solving all the issues, the gtablet would be pretty useless, in my opinion.

BTW, for those with a Logitech Revue, the harmony app works pretty well. The interface is a little rustic (read crude) but it I can't complain because it functions well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ensign.fodder:
Nothing for the remotes - only allows management of the Revue

This app appears in the market for me under the term "Logitech" in a search. Lmk if you still can't dl it and I will try and get it for you
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] javajoe96:
for some reason it does not show up on 2.2
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] timehunter:
Thanks. I have this on my Iconia A500 and DInc OG, but when I went to pull the apk file with Astro app backup tool, it's marked "Private" (bastards). I wanted to put it on My Archos 70IT.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] andy206:
megaupload link seems not working,any other? i'd like to try this app but i'm in italy and it's not available in our market.....i already have the revue
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
Be sure and get the version that is before the recent update (11/22/2011). The app was working fine on my tablet and now it doesn't work. My conversations with Logitech lead me to believe they broke it on purpose for devices that aren't stock Android. It allegedly works for devices with Android 2.3 or lower (I am currently running 2.6.33.43 - VeganTab although the old version of the app did work with that version on my GTablet). I would like to find the older version of the app (not 2.0.0 that is in the marketplace).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] brenopoubel:
How about someone share the latest version ? i belive it's now on 2.0

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] come.home.astronaut:
First off, hello to everyone! First post here, even though I've been following the community for about a month now.

Now, I'm running KaosFroyo v38 on my Eris - flashed CFSv6 and all works like a dream. Hell, my camera even works perfectly so far!

But, my battery life was crappy. I just started wiped my battery stats earlier (around 11:45ish), and now at 2:00 it's around 85%. Not as bad as before, but I definitely think it could be better :P Anyways, after some searching, I've only found a how-to for the recalibration, but I was wondering about the proper behavior for the recalibration. Now, I don't really know how it works, so forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question or if I'm just begging for the Kracken to be released. :rolleyes:

Part of me wants to baby the phone, not do anything with it and let it last as long as possible - this is, after all, the reason for recalibrating, right?

The other part of me wants to abuse my phone, do some web surfing, download a ton of crap, and drain my battery. My logic makes me wonder if the battery should get used to the abuse to work better during everyday use...?

There's another part of me that thinks I should just use the phone normally as I would any other day just to find a happy medium between the two.

Then there's another part of me that wonders if any of this really matters at all... and if that slightly fishy smell in the air might be the Kracken approaching.... :eek:

Just wanted some opinion on how to properly get the battery up to its fullest capabilities, which method did you use when you recalibrated??? I'm planning on continuing the drain/charge cycle for the next couple of days to see what happens, and if not, I'm gonna try flashing KaosFroyo v37 and see how that works, or gonna go back to ZenEXP Eris v7 (which so far has been nice and stable and looooooong-ass battery life, but the Sense seems to be a bit sluggish :/, but overall another beautiful ROM). I'm also running setCPU back a bit at 604 from the 710 that v38 comes set with, wondering if dialing it back a little like I did would help me conserve battery, or if maybe it was overclocked to 710 for a reason and perhaps it's able to run better that way?

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read! :)

On topic, I followed DS36's recommendations. You can find his thread about it in the Eris Development forum.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obermayerm:
Flash the Conaps CFSV6 or CFSV9 Kernel, it'll fix the battery drain. Go to the FAQ page for the KAOS FROYO builds:

As of V38

If you flashed v38 and your battery is Rapidly discharging, please try flashing Conaps CFSV6 kernel (just like you flashed this ROM, from recovery) Here is a link to Conaps kernels and other goodies:

Also, in the ERIS FAQs, there is a sticky that covers how to recalibrate your battery.
[Wildfire General] jheysl2:
Hello I Brought my GF a HTC wildfire about 4 months ago from ebay, it was brand new un-touched, still wrapped etc. The phone has been all fine til now.

The phone turns on and is usable for a while then screen goes blank and nothing happens until you turn it off and some times the phone turns on but nothing comes on screen too, tried a factory reset but no joy, it has the stock 2.1.1 rom on it and has never need rooted etc.

Can any one help me? Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] jheysl2:
Any one? :(
[Wildfire General] bassmonkey:
Mite b bug in software. U could try rooting and then flashing the stock ruu, if it is a software bug that should sort it. Otherwise I have no idea
[Wildfire General] bassmonkey:
Thinking about it, I don't know if you even need to root in order to flash ruu... never tried
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
It will void warranty.

Just send in the device so you get sure it gets fixed properly.

Miss the device for a week or so.
[Wildfire General] bassmonkey:
true. was working on the idea that it prob wouldnt have warranty being as it was from ebay..
[Wildfire General] jheysl2:
Phoned HTC and they are coming to pick it up to repair it, I explained it was new from eBay but they said the warranty is still in with them, thanks guys
[G Tablet General] Drylnn:
Got my gtab yesterday - had a sears coupon and it was still 379, so got it down to under 350 and thought that was too good a deal to pass up, even if I tinkered with it for a while then gave it to my girlfriend once something new caught my eye.

Got it up and running - put on tntlite 2.4 and got flash and market working perfectly fine. The only niggling thing is that the battery never seems to charge over 97%. It holds charge fine, but I don't know if its some interface issue, or a defective battery or what.

The only thing *I* might have done was not wait for the battery to fully charge the first time - I ran it off A/C power and let it charge while I set up. I wouldn't think that would do it, but I'm not an engineer with a lot of background knowledge in batteries. Like I said, it holds charge fine, but I'm not sure its worth taking it back if that's the only minor issue.

Is there anything I can use to test it (and like I said, test it in a way a layman like myself can understand)? Anyone else have a similar issue?
[G Tablet General] markgolly:
Cycle the battery and see what happens:

So I found my selef stuck with boot loader screen ! no way to make a gold card cause I have no other winmo phone!

[EVO 4G General] xdp:
I installed swiftkey today to play around with it but uninstalled it. However now the input method menu option is still showing in text fields, even though android keyboard is the only choice. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Restarting and reinstalling / uninstalling swiftkey did not help. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] terrel_b:
try clearing data for the keyboard?
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Nice idea....no dice though!
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Well this is odd...I restored a nandroid from before I installed swiftkey (only had android keyboard as an option) and the input method menu option is still there. Is this how its always been on cyanogenmod or something and I never noticed? I know it used to not show up, but now I don't know when that changed.
[EVO 4G General] animal7296:
So you got it working? If not then go into MENU>SETTINGS>LANGUAGEAND KEYBOARDS and puput a check mark in the box for your keyboard and then long press in a text field and it should be there.
[EVO 4G General] TheMagicalSock:
I think the problem is that he can't get the option for the keyboard to go away, not that he can't get it to show up. I've never heard of a problem like this. How did you uninstall Swiftkey?
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Yeah that's the problem, its not that the option for swiftkey is still there, its that the "input method" menu option is present in all text field context menus, and when you choose it, the only option is "android keyboard". I believe that in the past, if you only had one keyboard, "input method" did not show up at all. So I restored a nandroid to before I installed swiftkey, and "input method" is still showing despite having only one keyboard, which is why I'm confused.

I just uninstalled swiftkey the regular way from the running tab of applications.

So, if you're running cm6.1, do you see "input method" even with only one keyboard installed?
[EVO 4G General] TheMagicalSock:
Ahhh, I see. The input method will always show up, regardless of how many keyboards you have. This happens to everyone and to my knowledge it isn't a bug.
[EVO 4G General] xdp:
Okay thanks for clearing that up. I believe with the stock Sense ROM it removed that option when only one keyboard was enabled, but I guess I never noticed it didn't behave that way in AOSP/Cyanogen.
