Last thing I heard about this is totally technically possible, like drivers/kernel modules could be cooked into custom ROMs or even installed into stock, but no one is really doing it because the way the device is designed there is no way to power any USB slave device.

This of course would not be needed in case of a external hard drive that is powered by alternatively (A/C, usb from adapter or notebook) but it kinda limits the usefulness of this feature.

I might be wrong though.
[Desire HD Accessories] hedeon:
Yeah, but what I think about it is, that is great opportunity for photographers. Think about it... I don't think DSLR camera would need powering from phone, but I don't know much about it. And then you will be able to see pictures on better screen, controlling camera through phone on USB cable would give me a chance to take shoots from impossible angles, geotagging, uploading pictures to social services, and most importantly to agent or agency. Also using phone as additional storage in case of lack of memory on camera card. As a photographer I would give a fortune for such a thing.
[Desire HD Accessories] leppie:
You may have better luck getting a Bluetooth connection to the camera.
[Desire HD Accessories] psych0t1c:
Most of the things you mention I would rather not do with a phone but a netbook. Geotag in batch during workflow. First screening on phone? I shoot raw and I don't want to imagine how long my phone would take to crunch a raw from my 7D. Impossible angles? IR or wired remote control or timer.

I can understand where you come from I once had a period where I had s netbook mounted on my tripod because it would allow me to shoot series of pictures with vastly differing settings with just one vlick but it just is not worth the hassle in the long run imo...

...this chunk of zeroes and ones has been generated by flashing a 400 Watt halogen bulb into the open fibres of a transcontinental communications cable...
[Desire HD Accessories] hedeon:
this is a thing. You don't need better screen having 7D. In 40D it is just rubish.

Using netbook to do this? Why not small windows running laptop? I want to get rid of that, phone, I will always have with me. Is small, and "mobile" :) I don't know what you can see in 7D when shooting in RAW, but think it is displaying you how your RAW would look like, when converted to JPG, so probably you don't really see RAW files. But then, even when RAW file written on class 10 card, will not be much longer to get preview.

Now Impossible Angles -mate, did you ever used rotating screen on camera? I know, it is not the best way but very, very helpful. Find little flower in the grass and try to shoot it with sky in background from ground level with IR or Remote. That is just example. You could get actual preview from camera sensor and maybe choose focus point in situations when you are not able to stick your eye to viewfinder.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bliynd:
Hi, first time posting here but have been browsing for a while. I purchased my htc incredible a few months ago from a guy online and he said it was brand new. I got the phone answer it had all the screen protectors on it and looked brand new. I brought it down to verizon and they activated it with no problems. I was just surfing through the ##778 menu and noticed the MSID didn't match my phone number so I'm assuming the phone had in fact been activated before, but my question is should the msid ect. Match my phone number, and if I leave it the way it is will it cause any problems? Also if it should be changed is it ok to do it on my own?, thanks in advance! Also note I've had no problems except a blown rear speaker.

I'm going to be a first time voodoo user I would like to know if I have to disable voodoo for everything for example battery mods keyboard etc , I know for sure I do when flashing a rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
With the new kernels packed with voodoo by supercurio you don't need to disable it if you go from ext4 to ext4 enabled roms. I'm not sure about nandroid backups though

Sent from my Nero powered Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
More precisely, it's the kernel rather the rom itself that needs to support EXT4. If you flash roms that don't include kernels or roms that include EXT4 supporting kernels, you should be fine in most cases.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2371530:
So i dont need to disable the voodoo kernel in cases of me flashing nero v2 to v3? b/c it has the kernel and i dont need to disable if im flashing a battery mod?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
You should check that kernel the rom contains supports EXT4. If you can't easily find this out then disabling voodoo is a safe practice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2371530:
ok thanks bros
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Molezou:
I think for new voodoo users, the rule of thumb is to always disable voodoo before flashing anything new. Better safe than sorry! When unsure, disable voodoo first.

Updated rooted Wildfire running custom ROM to official HTC OTA update

Hi,

I have managed to update my rooted Wildfire running a custom rom to the official HTC OTA update.

I tried to update my Wildfire by restoring my pre rooted backup. This did nog work. I got error from clockwise. I ran the following steps to succesfull update my phone.

1. Install HTC Sync. For rooting purposes you had to change the Android PC driver. By installing HTC Sync that driver will be restored to the default.

2. Download a shipped rom from the link above.

3. Connect your booted up Android to your pc.

4. Run the shipped rom executable.

5. After the shipped rom is installed you can download Android OTA. By checking for updates.

Hi.

I have a HTC Magic (Denmark, (32A)) with stock 1.5 Android.

It is for my girlfriend, and want to update to a newer Android.

But it has to be STABLE, and everything must work (Wireless, GPS, Camera etc..). And I am not very fond of the need for overclocking to get persistant speed - you know, girls don't always recharge their mobilephones at night ... :)

Which ROM should I try?

Please again, its for my non-technical girlfriend, so it has to be stable and fully usable.

Open Kies

Open your saved spb file

Select all the contacts

Click SAVE

Select a location on your PC, create a directory called Contacts.

Browse to this directory and save the file using VCF as your file extension

Yes it doesn't give VCF as a file type option so just manually type it.

Check the directory and it should be full of vcf files.

Copy the directory to your Phone SD Card and import using contacts import.

How to change a contacts file type on the PC

I am using Kies version 2.6.0.13074_14

I did not find it intuitive to be able to change the Contacts file type on my PC.

If I selected "Contacts" under the Library heading and used "Open contact file" to load a contact file, it would load, but I could not then save the file to the PC using "Save as". As others have stated, I received no error message and no file was created.

How to change the Contacts file type on the PC:

Connect a Samsung device to the computer. This is necessary to enable the "Import from PC" function.

Select "Contacts" under the Connected Devices heading.

The contacts will load from the device. (Note that you can now use "Save to PC" to select file type and save this file to the PC).

However, to change a contacts file on the PC you need to first delete the contacts from Kies.

To do this, right click and "select all", then right click and "delete". This removes the contacts from Kies.

Select "Import from PC" and select the contacts file you want to change.

After the file loads, select "Save to PC" and select the type file (spb, csv, or vcf) you want to save your contacts in.

Your contacts file will be created in the format you selected.

How to convert from sbp to vcf (vcard) or csv.

You do not need a samsung phone plugged in for this method to work >

Just open Kies, click on the contacts tab. Then choose a file to import. Select your spb file, and you will see "save as" click it. Choose whichever file type you would like to save as. For some reason csv file didnt work properly on gmail so you may need to use vcard if you are trying to import your contacts into gmail.

**Note: If you choose .vcf it will export the contacts as multiple vcf files. You will need to use cmd to convert it into a single file. You can apply the "copy *.vcf yourfilename.vcf" command to the folder with your contacts and it will make a single vcard file which you can use to import to gmail contacts. The single vcard file will be inside the folder of your contacts.

Can anyone with a Nexus S have a look at these photos and compare against their own? I want to be sure my screen is faulty before taking it back. Thanks.

Left: Galaxy S i9000 Right: Nexus S. Both with auto-brightness on.

Nice sharp clear text on the i9000:

The same text on the Nexus S:

Looking from an angle, the screen turns even more green/yellow:

Then with brightness turned up full on both:

Now looking from an angle the screen has a very blue tint on the NS, where the i9000 doesn't discolour at all:

The screen starts to look much better after about 50% brightness. Auto-brightness makes it look awful which makes me think the colour profile for the panel is wrong as if the brightness is set to full it's overly bright and has a blue tint.

Does anyone else see this behaviour?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
I do have a vibrant so I can compare in the same way... but again there's also differences among Vibrant panels. Anyway, my Vibrant is a bit more blue tinted than my Nexus S, and overall the Nexus S display seems nicer. However, as for viewing angle, the Vibrant doesn't distort at all, while the Nexus S changes color slightly, which I think is due to the gorilla glass in the Vibrant and lack of it in the Nexus S.

Your first pictures... I don't know if it's because of your camera's white balance, but the Nexus S is way too green. If anything, the Nexus S should be warmer (redder/yellower) than the Vibrant, which is what I see and was also reported by many reviewers. Also it should have exactly the same sharpness, so I think your display is kind of messed up... exchange if you can.
