[Nexus One General] olyloh6696:
dont get nokia n8. that is a definite downgrade. desire z seems a downgrade too (slower CPU) desire hd yes, iPhone 4, i wouldn't get that. i would wait a couple months till iPhone 5 (june) or if you can hold of, just keel your nexus, it is still arilliant phone. you can update it through loads of custom roms. you will also get the official 2.3 update. hope i helped.
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
I barely got my nexus one since I got it for cheap on ebay but I was reallllllly tempted of getting the nokia N8 coming from a nexus one to a desire z or a desire hd doesn't really qualify for a nexus one upgrade. My opinion is if your using the next phone for 6 months to a year get the iphone 4 or N8 if your geting another android device stick to your nexus. If your planning to keep the device for a year or two wait until the next gen iphone comes out or meego or android tegra devices.
[Nexus One General] Makaijin:
Personally I wouldn't sell off you N1 just yet. The N1 still has a lot of life left in it, the recent releases aren't exactly huge upgrades.

If your N1 died/broke/bricked/whatever and you need a replacement then yes, a Desire HD or even a Nexus S would be a good choice if it picks your fancy.

If you are selling because you want a new toy to play with then I'd wait until the dual cores hit the market since they just around the corner.
[Nexus One General] emmib:
Thanks guys, but I have come to a conlusion that I think many Nexus One owners feel. I've been looking ALL OVER at phones that have just come out, being rumoured, etc etc, but this just made me want my Nexus even more because (silly as it may sound) I can't find anything that I feel could occupy the same space in my heart as the Nexus :)

Now, I'm off to get myself some of those custom ROMs. Thanks a million guys!
[Nexus One General] olyloh6696:
no problem mate :)
[Nexus One General] r2001uk:
Yeah you'd be better off waiting. CES is going on right now and a lot of the new phones will be out fairly soon (going by the current rate phones are being churned out).

I'm looking to move on too, but I'm happy to wait for the new pack.
[Nexus One General] Phone_Junkie:
I'm chiming in a bit late here as you have made up your mind and keeping your Nexus, but I will add that the Nexus One is the best phone I've ever owned. My main reason: The phone did not come loaded with bloatware and you don't have to root or flash to make it a great device. You're making the right decision.
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Yes, this: http://www.att.com/atrix
[Nexus One General] emmib:
Thanks again guys, looking at what's out the moment only makes me love my Nexus more. Even more so that I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on it XD

The dual core phones are interesting, but none have the same "impact" the Nexus One has. And I'd be surprised if Google didn't release a "Nexus 2" with the same power, and maybe 2.4 if the rumours are to be believed.
[Nexus One General] olyloh6696:
Technically there is a sucessor, - Google Nexus S developed by Samsung. but i wouldnt condider it a major upgrade.
[Nexus One General] thephoneguyusa:
I completely agree that the nexus s is not much of an upgrade.. More of a face lift. Personally I have messed with my buddy's NS and it feels like my Vibrant I had (cheep and plastic) but I do have to say it looks sexy. I love my N1 and it will be around until it bites the dust.

Great choice on keeping your N1!!
[Nexus One General] emmib:
I know about the Nexus S, but I think calling it the Nexus One's successor is borderline crimal.

Agreed, it looks great, but doesn't feel so great. But I guess it's a suitable platform to launch Gingerbread. After all, it's almost more about the software than the hardware.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotaryknight:
Is there another app like allshare that streams vids from the pc? I love allshare and all, but I'm just wondering if there are any other apps out there that does the same thing or even does it better.
[General Questions and Answers] PriceEddie:
After flashing my Radio I rebooted my Desire and it was in perfect working order. I was then going to install CyanogenMod, but I thought it would be a good idea backing up everything to be on the safe side using Clockwork mod. However after doing this and trying to reboot my phone, I get to the O2 screen then the phone restarts and does this over and over again. What should I do, I am currently restoring the backup that I made before this problem started it!

Hi all,

I have a 3G mobile access, Tattoo, Hero. And i would like to use the Tattoo to share the 3G mobile signal as a hotspot for other mobile devices such as Hero, Nexus One, etc.

Could this hotspot be available in Tattoo or Hero just like hTC Desire, Nexus One?

Thanks.
[Click General] nikson346:
I hve never used this feature in android ,but as i can recall you must install a thethering app from the market to use it. :)
[Click General] rossikwan:
Thanks, Hm... Tried the aNetShare which provide a tethering services only allow wireless access to computers such as PC, Mac, Ubuntu.

But other kinds of mobile devices such as Hero can't find due to it's not a WiFi hotspot :(
[Click General] nikson346:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ that should do it but be careful the battery !It drains out real quick.My GF's Mac book had successfully connected to it.

P.S. You might have an issue with the resolution.
[Click General] Ihaveatattoo:
Barnacle is good as well for WiFi tethering.
[Click General] rossikwan:
But tethering only allowed PC, Mac to connect with but it's not for other kinds of mobile devices such as my Hero
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Overloaded:
I'm wondering how i can change some of the systems icons.

I have placed some shortcuts on my homescreen and i want to change the icons for the dialer shortcut, music shortcut, and battery status shortcut.

But how can i do this?

I've downloaded Desktop Visualizer but this doesn't do it how i want i to do it.

And the icons should be 72*72 pixels right?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Pruikki:
u need to install REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.3b. that will allow u do everything.

u need programs and icons to modify,
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Pruikki:
REVOLUTUON HD 2.0.5. thats now
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Sounds like Overloaded just wants to change the icons for homescreen shortcuts, rather than change actual system icons (like for notification bar etc).

If this is ture and you just want to change homescreen shortcut icons then try BetterCut, or it's free version AnyCut.

You can find both on the Market or AppBrain.

You will then need to find some icons and put them on a folder on your SD card.

You can get them yourself from the web, find them in the Android Themes section on XDA, or download them in packs from the Market (no need to install these to SD as they install to the phone like an app would).

If you do want to change the proper system icons then do what the other guys said and try a custom ROM ;)

[Wildfire General] Endless Dark:
Hi Guys

After i installed the newest WildPuzzle (0.7) and installed the Handcent SMS App, there a missing Options in the Settings of Handcent. In Cyanogen Mod i was able to choose the LED Blinking Frequency and the Color.

In WildPuzzle i can only activate "LED Blink" and all other Options are missing :( When i activate the LED Blink, it does not work. The LED won't flash on incoming Text Message.

Is there any Fix for this? I need this Option for the Silent Mode.

Greetings,

Endless Dark

email danne_jo with this problem, i've also got this problem and i'm going to email it to him aswell, porbably a ROM problem. Hopefully fixed in v0.8 ???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
So here is what happened. Running Nero 3 w/voodoo enabled. Disabled Voodoo and rebooted, got stuck at Vibrant screen for an hour, booted into recovery and confirmed voodoo was disabled. Rebooted and am stuck on the boot loop with a crazy voice saying something I can't understand.

So I am trying to use Odin 3 1.7 to reflash to stock. But Odin doesn't recognize my phone.

This is what I've done so far (after searching around for hours): After going into download mode, my computer only found a "gadget serial". I installed the SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface driver and now my computer recognizes it. But it says "device cannot start".

Any help/ideas/thoughts would be much appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
take the simplest approach, put nero v3 back on your internal and flash it.

the voice was LINDA (android voice) disabling voodoo, this can take up to 10 minutes (usually a little less).

What were you wanting to change to, from nero v3? (why did you disable voodoo, I assume you were going to flash something).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
Just throwing this out there, because I almost made this mistake...

Are you sure you didn't jump the gun during the reboot? It can take a while to

complete and Linda chimes in a few times with stuff you can't hear unless it's quiet and your volume is up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
I would love to just go back to Nero 3 and wasn't trying to flash anything new, I just wanted to disable voodoo in case I forgot later on.

I would also love to be able to flash anything, but I can't get into recovery mode at all anymore. Any suggestions on that?

And I can't get Odin to see the device and the computer (Win 7) says the device can't start.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
To connect to Odin is the phone off?

Shut off the phone and hold the volume +- then plug in the usb.

If that doesn't work take the battery out and plug in the usb. While holding volume +- put the battery in the phone.

Hopefully one of those gets it to connect to Odin. You will see a com port light up in Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
Yes, the phone is on. I have the download screen lit up. My problem is that in device manager, it appears that the computer is saying that the device won't start. I'm stumped. I am going to try a different computer. Maybe its Windows 7.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Open Odin before connecting the phone in download mode. The phone should be off when connecting to Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
Still no luck, off or on when connecting to Odin. Odd, b/c I've used Odin before. I am still thinking it is a driver issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
If you used ODIN on that same pc, it is not a driver issue.

take the battery out.

put it back in.

open ODIN

plug USB into PC

hold both volume buttons (and keep them held)

plug usb cable into phone

download mode, right?

did ODIN show a COM# in yellow, yes right?

load the pit and tar files (I use the files in my noob guide alt method since it keeps root)

press start, nothing else, wait for it to reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
damn. even if you follow the instructions, sometimes something bad will happen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
I am actually using a different PC at work. This is why I think it is the driver. I follow all the steps and still no yellow box in the COM. When I go into device manager, I see the device but the warning that it cannot start (code 10). So hopefully everything will work out on my computer (XP) at home where I used Odin before.

I will update once I do that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
So here is an update. Got home and Odin recognizes the device. The problem I now have is that it stays stuck on SetupConnection. Do I just wait a number of hours or is there something else I've done wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrod33084:
Do you have the right stock rom TAR file and PIT file? Did you check box repartition?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
Thanks to all and Further update:

I got it to start downloading but now Odin stalls at factoryfs.rfs

I'm running 512 PIT and JFD tar.

I've taken out the SIM/External SDs and have tried all the USB Ports. Any thoughts? It seems so close but yet so far away.

I am downloading the tar and pit files again and will reboot, etc. Hopefully that will get me over the edge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrod33084:
Did you check the repartition box when you tried to odin? Place pit file with pit section obviously. Place tar file with pda section. Check the repartition box. Do you remember if the voice actually said "voodoo is now disabled"? If not it still might have been activated which will make it much more difficult.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedgar:
Solved (hopefully)!

What I did was download the all_in_one zip that had two .tars in it and used the "original" one. For some reason I can't find a link to that thread or I would certainly post it here and give my thanks etc. If someone has that handy, please post it.

I will check to make sure everything is working fine, but so far so good.

Overall lessons...this is a tough phone to brick and the excellent people here can help. Even just brainstorming leads to one finding a solution on their own.

The combo of different downloads of the .tar/.pit rebooting, different ports somehow worked.

Glad to hear it worked
[Folio 100 General] andrey_zi:
I've asked this q. earlier in the ROM thread, before we got a separate forum, but didn't get any answer, so I'll try now in a dedicated thread.

I have a problem with some (not all) videos playback on Folio (foliomod 1.3b). Some videos don't play audio in standard media player or toshiba media player.

GSpot says audio in these videos are encoded as 0x2000 (Dolby AC3) AC3 - 48000Hz 384 kb/s tot , 6 chnls (3/2 .1). Video codec is XviD ISO MPEG-4.

I installed Rockplayer and when I try to play those videos in Hardware mode, they don't have audio as well. In Software decoding mode I do have audio, but video playback seems a bit 'creepy-crawly'/laggy.

I also tried several other video/media players from the Market, but none of them can reproduce audio in those video files.

kaivish had a remark about video playback earlier, I don't know if it's relevant:

If yes, would changing dalvik cache help me with audio in these videos? And how do I change it?
[Folio 100 General] killerbie:
I have the no sound problem too with rockplayer!

I didn't had it with the other foliomod editions, i think its software related?

I play my movies in hardware mode (it's better for the battery as far as I know..)

The wierd thing is, after restart I do get sound sometime, also I sometimes get sound after a couple of seconds.
[Folio 100 General] kaivish:
Sound issues come from the cache size. Like I am quoted above, u have to tweak the folio to your personal use. For me those numbers work best.
[Folio 100 General] kaivish:
Changing dalvik cache will increase performance of already supported codec videos. Some codecs are not really supported and they might play but will have video and audio issues. It will not matter what cache size you have if the codec is not really supported on tegra2 platform.
[Folio 100 General] andrey_zi:
thanks for reply.

So the answer is that we can't do anything about it?

I mean, on Windows you can install any codecs you like. Can the same be done on Android?

If the only possibility is to use Software mode in Rockplayer, then dalvik cache can help make it not so laggy, can't it? How do you change dalvik cache in Android?

Sorry for stupid questions, I'm not an advanced programmer. :)

It may also help other users, I hope.
[Folio 100 General] kaivish:
I am no advanced dev either. :) you can use a free app called vmheap on the android market. In android, there are no codecs pack which is installable, the codec needs to be built in support. So the answer is that nothing can be done, just optimise currently supported codec playback.

Hope that helps you.
[Folio 100 General] mddsd:
Perhaps our best bet is to wait for CoreCodec to release their Android player CorePlayer which should have support for Tegra. I got an email yesterday saying that they are demoing their software including the CorePlayer for Android at CES.

So perhaps we do not have to wait that long.

On another note, I just saw a video on Engadget showing Toshibas next tablet and in that video they demoed an application which scales up sd video to HD...

Here's the link to the video.
[Folio 100 General] andrey_zi:
thanks, mddsd. Let us know if you hear anything about the android coreplayer. I used that program on my old windows mobile 6.5 phone and it was very good.

kaivish, thanks for explanations. I tried that app and changed from 64 to 32, but didn't see any difference in software mode playback in Rockplayer. Audio is there, but picture doesn't move very smoothly. So, dalvik cache is probably not a solution for this particular problem.
[Folio 100 General] Yamba:
Another option could be the announced VLC player that seems to be in development vlc have always been known to be able to play alot of video/audio formats out of the box

androidguys.com/2010/12/27/vlc-player-coming-android-matter-weeks/
[Folio 100 General] mddsd:
I saw an interesting youtube clip about the LG Optimus 2x which has the same Tegra 2 SOC as the Folio.

The LG had an app which could force the resolution output on the HDMI port to e.g. 1080p, 720p, 576p, 480p or do it automatically based on content. This is something we should have for the Folio.
[Folio 100 General] mddsd:
I just read some interesting news, LG showed off their Optimus 2X phone (which has Tegra 2) at a press event in Sweden. According to the site www.swedroid.se which was at the event, LG demoed the phone playing a movie in H264 1080p in the container MKV. So perhaps LG has a player which can use the Tegra 2 chip and play MKV in 1080p... The playback was smooth according to the article.
[Folio 100 General] Dexter_nlb:
lets have the firmware, then we get the pleasure of the functions :-)

i'm still waiting for new mobile devices and the XOOM tablet to appear..

The other tegra2 tablets are pretty much chinese made tablet, and those are pretty similar in code, so not much to share between those.

So let the revolution of new tegra's come and we probably get better codec's and nice new features maybe..
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] heythorp:
Well I had mine today. :eek:

I knew it would come as I started to use this tab more and more for my only device. I was trying to get it into a coat pocket that was a bit tight and wham, before I knew it I saw it crashing onto a sidewalk FACE down:eek:.

I cringed as I watched it bounce. I didn't hear the screen hit the ground even though it bobbled around face down a few times so i was a bit relieved, but I was still worried picking it up as it hit a corner first.

Happy to say it came through scratch free.

I bought a simple cheap case that does not add much in size and has good grip.

Here it is if anyone is interested. The stylist doesn't work that well and I haven't put the screen protector on yet, but after today I will.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] knightnz:
I dropped mine on day one as I hadn't put it into my pocket properly, small ding in the corner. I was not happy.

I managed to leave it on the car roof the other day, it fell off & got ran over by 2 cars before it was retrieved, the case mostly saved it, a bit of the plastic on the other corner is damaged, but it still works fine and the glass is unmarked. A bit of touch-up and it's not a big deal.

Good build quality!
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] sillyrabbitt123:
my 5 yr old dropped it 2x times already but its taking it great no scratches or anything
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beards:
Just like my Galaxy S, the Tab too has been on "Extreme Adventure's"!

The SGS has been seen to slide off a kitchen work surface onto a stone floor and shoot out of my car window (after leaving my dashboard at warp 5.0) onto the road....

The Tab has shown great tenacity in following the SGS enduring 'blind maneuvers' by being sat-upon, knocked off a desk and found in an argument with one of my dogs (my grand daughter had been using the App 'Talking Tom' and put the Tab down to then come out and join me in the next room but left Talking Tom waiting for the next voice to come forth.... It did in the guise of Rags, one of our dogs who took an instant dislike to his barks & growls being played back by Talking Tom the Cat)!!

Thank goodness for Gorilla Glass and the Ebay case's I purchased....

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] paulshields:
I've dropped mine around 4 times so far - the worst being off a shelf around 4 feet high onto a fairly hard bathroom floor. So far it's survived intact - unlike an iPad one of my kids dropped and which now has a nice dent in the aluminium. Maybe plastic was a better materials choice after all...;).

What case are you using for the times you plan on dropping the case on purpose.

Sorry couldn't resist. :)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] asout:
Dropped mine while on a call, it had a gel skin and screen protector so i though it was ok, continued the call but the other person said they could not hear me very well after the drop. I was devestated and thought it would have to go for repair.

Looking at it after the call i noticed the case had come apart near the microphone, i carefully with light pressure snapped the front and back casing back together and now everything if working perfectly and calls are clear again. Phew!

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dugg67:
I dropped mine on my way out my front door the other day. Luckily it was in a padded sleeve that I had just bought the day before from Walmart. No damage, but it got me thinking about what could have happened if it wasn't in the sleeve. The only protection it has when it's in use is a Zagg Invisibleshield and Zaggskin. Great for scratch protection, but there's no shock protection. So I've ordered an Otterbox for it. I'm sure it'll be tested at some point. :o

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Ghostwalker9:
Dropped mine glass side down on the corner of a metal box. Destroyed the antiglare cover.. my heart was in my throat while I removed it to see if there was permanent damage and to my surprise not a scratch.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Grunt:
Scratch on the frame

Dropped mine first face down on a tiled floor. No problem. The Gorilla glass is great. Second incident was not so much a drop as an unforseen injury. My Tab was naked in my big old Samsonite wheel bag for a longhaul flight while I slept and the top edge of the frame was pushed by the other stuff in the bag against a metal rivet head inside the bag. The result is 2 little patches of scribble in the coating near the head phone jack. I can confirm the frame is aluminium.

Any reccomendations as to the neatest touch up?
