[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
No scratches or dents. I've dropped it several times on carpet, about 2-3 feet height.

I don't believe them. I think they have really greasy-ass fingers. Buy a quality microfiber cleaning cloth, Very other day wipe it down, and it'll be perfect.

ZERO issues. They're all the same brightness, (they don't change) and they are all responsive.

It's just as fast as it was. I run a lot of stuff though. I'm a bit disappointed in the browser. Some pages zooms in/out just fine, then there's some SIMPLE pages and it's turtle slow at panning and zooming.

When I had a Nexus One, I had an 8gig card and only used 4 gigs of it. With My Nexus S, same thing. I'm loving the 1gig for app installs, and 11 gigs as "external" "sd" card is more than enough for me. I use my ZuneHD for music.

Battery life is great. Depending on my usage I can get up to 18hours.

I was thinking of getting a lappy with

310m with i3, with Nvidia Optimus

or

310m with i5, without Nvidia Optimus?

Both are about the same price.

What do you guys think?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Save up for Sandy Bridge. It seems to bring about double the FPS rate in games, without the burden of a discrete card.

But, to answer your question, Optimus will only save battery. If you are looking to save battery, go for the Optimus.

If you are going to have some level of gaming on you laptop, go for the i5. There will be about 5-10 fps increase at least for games.

For reference, I can play COD4 and Dragon Age:Origins on a 210m at 1280*720 resolutions with all eye-candy tuned down.

One last note, if you wanna game, go for a desktop.

p/s: A lot of guesswork here, but I am assuming that you are getting a discrete mobility graphics for gaming amirite?
[Off-topic] !PANDA:
Well, obviously i5 (that's if I guessed right, and you talking about processors and graphics cards) is gonna be better. Faster at stock etc. Easier to overclock. Will need a higher source of power. About 800hz so the pc will last, as in for future upgrades..

And I don't know much about the card, but put up some details, eg mb/gb etc
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Erm... I believe that the 310m is a mobility card (read, stuck in laptops), otherwise I would have recommended that he beg his grandmother for cash to buy an AMD Radeon HD6950 NOW.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
310m ... i wouldnt even call it a video card , get one with 335m ... theyre also available in $600 budget asus laptops

if u wanna play games , that laptop is gonna die on u , optimus or not

Don't be nasty... some people really have the budget for only so much... and if you're talking about REAL GPUs...
[Off-topic] fezlopez:
The max I want to spend is around 600. Heavy gaming is not my forte but Ill be playing some MMORPGS.

Besides the 310m, how much difference is there between the i3 and i5?
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
The Core i3-3xxM processors are based on Arrandale, the mobile version of the Clarkdale desktop processor. They are similar to the Core i5-4xx series but running at lower clock speeds and without Turbo Boost.[21]

no turbo boost .. and lower freq ... that means better battery ... the optimus one is looking better for a laptop configuration

but if ur not an nvidia fanatic and just need the best bang for the buck id go with this
[Off-topic] fezlopez:
Thank you for the input everyone! It made me think a little more!
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Spot on. MMOs like WoW? The 310m will handle it just fine. The difference between i3 and i5 could be almost 10fps at laptop settings, because the GPU is underpowered.

Well, the i3 and i5 are on the same architecture, so... turbo boost and higher frequency just means that the processor is more capable if and when it is needed. Gaming is going to suck the hell out of your battery no matter what you do, unless you intentionally cripple your CPU and GPU.

Your suggestion seems a little overpowering, but the specs are good for the price. Nice find :)

ok well i've been using adb for a while now via windows on our desktop, my laptop however runs ubuntu. but i've run into a problem.....I CAN'T OPEN ADB IN LINUX! using terminal i navigate to the proper location then i initiate adb shell but i get an error saying the command doesn't exist...what am i doing wrong?
[Android Software Development] ante0:
tried ./adb ?

if you haven't added ADB to path it won't be recognized as a command, then you'd have to execute it using ./adb

I get that message at the very end after I am trying to install the android nand in magldr, does anyone know what i did wrong?
[HD2 General] hagba:
Redownload the ROM and try again,do not copy from one computer to another.It happened to me the same thing.Or reinstall mgldr again as i did .
[HD2 General] skunz35:
How do you reinstall mgldr? And I downloaded the nand rom straight from mediafire, thanks for your quick response
[HD2 General] hagba:
unfortunately since it was so new and lack of proper tutorial,Ihad to reflash the WM ROM and do everything from scratch.I was trying to flash JDMS 1.6.2 NAND,second attempt was success,with Cotulas ROM had no problem from first.
[HD2 General] skunz35:
How do you reflash a wm rom?
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
Just reset your phone, hold volume down when turning back on to enter tri coloured bootloader, then run the ruu of the stock/custom Rom you are wanting to put on
[HD2 General] skunz35:
Then just do the exact same thing I did before?
[HD2 General] skunz35:
Okay well I reflashed a wm rom and used the same mgldr as before but now it wont even load that to the mgldr screen. I don't understand how I screwed up something so easy... I'm so lost
[HD2 General] atomical007:
You have to do it from the beginning again.

[HD2 General] skunz35:
Thanks I just did that but got a usb error 723? Is that something with the build?
[HD2 General] atomical007:

Where do you find a stock or custom rom to reflash it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ally86:
Have the warm Rom and now when I try to download flash player from market it won't install
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
It is probably already installed. Many roms come with apps like that pre-installed. Often times these pre-installed apps don't attach themselves to the market.

The result is that the market shows you have never downloaded it, but if you try to download it, it can't install over top of the existing one.

You have two options. One is use something like Titanium backup to find the Adobe Flash APK. It has an option to "attach to market".

The other option is to use any root explorer and remove the existing Adobe flash APK. After you un-install, then delete, reboot your phone. Then go into the market, and download flash player.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] suavebrotha:
Before we start... yes, I have searched the forums and thats why I've started this thread.

Setup: CWM, VEGAn 5.1, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer

EVERYTHING is working except for this...

I have run the market fix step by step (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845175) and have access to the full market. I can even get all the way to initiating the download of the app. However, when the download starts, it just hangs in 'starting download...' and does nothing. It doesnt download or install, just hangs.

This seems to be a known issue with phones with no answer...

I have run multiple reboots in combination with data/cache wipes using app manager and CWM. I'm sure that I'm missing something but I have no clue what it is. Help is greatly appreciated?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Just had it happen on my phone. I fixed it by going into applications and clearing the data from google services framework. Then reboot...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cybermage1:
Mine does this if I try to use it from work. The firewall allows normal web, and transparently proxies FTP so I'd think it would work, but it doesn't.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TheTruth:
sign into google talk and all should be well... google's market depends on gtalk service - signing into gtalk should do it for you.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] suavebrotha:
On to something...

Thanks for the heads up. You are right that it is dependent on GTalk, but I think I've stumbled across the main issue. When I connect to someone's else's wifi (couple of people in my apt complex have left their routers unprotected), I don't have any issues connecting to gtalk or market. So obviously, my gtab is having an issue with the connection through my network/firewall/<insert idea>, I'm assuming.

Are there any known network/firewall issues with connecting to gtalk or the market?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
I'm running TnT Lite 3.1 and finally got all the apps to load up on market using the "market fix" that you tried as well, but am stuck on "starting download" as you are. Although it's possible that it has something to do with the router, I turned the firewall on my router completely off and still hangs. I wish we could figure this one out.

Just know you are not alone. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I don't know if this will help but I have seen that a couple times and have found that if I tap on the app that is stuck it will go back to the menu asking if you want to install like you would see when you first tried it. Say ok, it will start to download again. Seems most times it will then download.

I have in the past had apps just stay stuck. Only thing that I could ever do to fix that was to clear the data from the Google services framework, and reboot. Kind of like doing the market fix again.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TeutonicWolf:
Try clearing cache for the downloader. It could be there is a bad file "stuck" there that it is trying to resume...

It's even possible that there is a zero byte file there with perms wrong...happened to me once after switching ROMs
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
How do you sign into gtalk? Is it already installed in TnT by default? I don't see an icon for it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebadfrog:
Are you running a custom rom or stock. Stock has no Google Apps
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] brian_h_kim:
market, like any other google app (including talk), depends on GoogleServicesFramework
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
I'm running TnT Lite, version 3.1 I believe.

I can obviously navigate to the main page google.com/talk, but don't see a link there to install for android/gtab. If my market worked I could probably install from there, but that's the whole reason I'm messing around with talk. Still can't get my market to install anything, despite market fix, clear this, clear that, etc.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebadfrog:
You can reinstall TnT rom without wiping data/cache. I would wipe cache. The gTalk app (Talk) should have installed with TnT lite. This will reinstall everything in the rom wothout wiping your data. You may still have to wipe data/cache but you can try it in steps
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
Ok I found talk and cannot login. Says "could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." I confirmed my internet is working as I can connect with the browser. I can also still connect to Market, find apps, but cannot get them to download. I've cleared the data in Google services framework and rebooted several times with no solution. ARGHH!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thebadfrog:
Sorry if you have already done this but....I would backup my apps and THEIR data with titanium backup and do a complete reinstall. Wipe data/ factory reset and then install the rom again. Restore your apps and their date with Titanium. Don't restore system data with Titanium.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
Ok will try that and get back to you. I don't really have to backup anything, will just do a wipe and reinstall. Thanks for your help.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
Well chit. I downloaded the new TnT 4.1 and figured I'd give that a try.

Restarted w/ clockworkmod .08, cleared cache, cleared data, then installed TnT.

After booting back up some of the buttons weren't working, couldn't type in my wireless password, it would keep jumping to the home screen, then I couldn't shut down, power button would not turn the damn thing off.

Copied the TnT 3.1 update.zip back to the sdcard. Went into settings and did a data reset/wipe and finally it shut down.

So I restarted with clockwork mod again and wiped cache and data reset, loaded TnT 3.1 and let it boot up.

Was able to enter wireless password and get that going and confirmed the internet was working. Then went to market and or course it was not working. So did market fix, after installing titanium backup. Had to reboot a few times after force stopping google services and market, and wiping cache/data (from within settings) each time and finally all the apps showed up in market.

However, still unable to get anything to install.

Tried to login to google talk with same result.

I'm now thinking it must be something with my firewall as the first user mentioned. Going to try it on another connection and let you guys know.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drtbar:
I can confirm that it is something to do with my firewall. Finally tried market on another connection and it downloaded right away. Now I have to get verizon to give me a new router. DOH!

EDIT Now I can download from market just fine from my original location. It seems that once I downloaded the first time from a different location, now it is all working.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ketjr81:
Anyone have apps that download and not install? I've been having this problem, before my memory even got low for apps so I wiped everything and reinstalled my apps and had less then half a gb of apps.

Things seemed good but today it started happening again, apps will hang in downloading or will download and not install.
[Droid 2 General] surda:
i have Motorola droid 2 on 2.2 rooted with bootstrap recovery, everything was workin fine till i decided to install custom rom, which was unleashed epic 2.5 (by mat) and now everytime i turn on my phone it goes into a loop reboots and never turns on all the way.

i have tried using sbf RSDlite to restore it, tried using linux ubuntu(newk8600 method ty btw) method as well to restore it, none seems to work i keep getting errors whenever i try to do it.

however before i installed the custom rom i did full backup using bootstrap recovery but the only way (that i know) to get in recovery is using bootstrap app, so is there a way i can manually get into bootstrap recovery so i can restore from backup?

please let me know, or if you have different method i'll appreciate your help. thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
Which version of the software did you have before you installed epic unleashed, and which SBF did you use?

From what I have heard, Epic Unleashed will "brick" your phone if you try to install it on the 2.3.20 build. Since your phone did get bricked, it's likely that you are running 2.3.20 and not 2.2. You might want to make sure you are using the 2.3.20 SBF to flash your phone, and not the 2.2 SBF (which won't work because the kernel changed between the two)...

i always have luck getting into clockwork recovery by having my phone plugged in and within the first few seconds taking out my battery forcing it to take along time booting after the M logo and hence putting it into clockwork. I hope this helps
[Droid 2 General] driverx125:
after you get passed the M pull the battery then boot back up it should come up in to recovery
[Droid 2 General] surda:
thank you all for your help, however i tried all of these steps already, but i found another way to get it workin, here is the solution to whom got the same problem as mine.

its not letting me post the link for some reason, anyway just search for (Droid 2 Global SBF File (2.4.29) Full and RSDLite ).

just got relased today , big thanks to team Black Hat and MyDroidWorld

hope that helps.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Glad you got it fixed. Let me ask you something though. Before you installed the custom rom, did you wipe data and cache? Not doing so could result in a bootloop.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
Sounds like the OP was trying to install a ROM for the original Droid 2 on the Droid 2 Global. It wouldn't have worked, no matter what install steps were used.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Ah op didn't mention it was a global. Should have realized when he said he used the global sbf though... brain fart :)

Disable manila. If you flash roms, get one without Sense. That's my advice.

Also, try getting sk tools and running Clean occasionally. Finally, try this tweak. It really helps (but only do it once).

when i had my raph100 it was going quite fast, not as fast as you would expect but it did have som flow atleast. i reinstalled the rom once when hard-reset wasen´t working and it made the phone fast again. sorry if someone else posted this before, i didnt read the tread:)
[Droid 2 Global General] thomaslau:
Do D2G has bootloader??

Can I replace the original VZW Rom by another???? Like pure Android 2.3
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Yes it does have a boot loader, but its locked, so you can't install a rom with a custom kernel, as of now all the custom roms are just the stock rom but hacked.
[Droid 2 Global General] thomaslau:
what's the difference between kernel and stock rom
[Droid 2 Global General] Spitemare:
The kernel is the piece of code that interfaces directly with the hardware. It's responsible for things like managing memory and processor cycles.

The rest of the ROM resides in what is called userspace. Things like the graphical interface and applications are handled in userspace.

Currently, because of the locked bootloader, the kernel can't be replaced. Everything else in the ROM can be. ROMs like Fission, GummyJAR, and Unleashed take the default Motorola ROM and strip away nonessential pieces. Eventually a true AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM will be completed that replaces everything in the Motorola ROM with stock parts, excepting the kernel (due to the locked bootloader) and some essential Motorola jars.
[Droid 2 Global General] thomaslau:
due to the bootloader locked, does that mean we cant make a android2.3 Rom
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
Yes
