[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ajbopp:
I recently changed my Sprint Touch Pro 2 Outlook Exchange sync settings from As Items Arrive to Every 30 minutes. I am using Google's Exchange server.

However, now I find that that several times a day the device changes the settings on its own to Manually, which is not at all what I want. No matter how often I change it back to 30 minutes, within an hour or two I will find that the settings have reverted to Manually. I've even tried changing it back to As Items Arrive and it still changes back to Manually.

What is controlling this change and how can I wrest control back from it? It does not appear to be a setting in ActiveSync. I haven't found any commonality about when this change happens. That is, it doesn't happen during a sync with the Exchange server, it doesn't happen when I sync with my PC. But it will happen at most two hours after I change it, sometimes much more frequently.

Any help is appreciated. I searched a bit on the forums and I'm sure my answer is probably already out there, but the search queries I used turned up no hits.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mylovelyhorse:
Hi,

I'm in the UK and have an X10 on the latest .435 SE firmware. The phone is rooted using the most excellent superoneclick 1.63. I have installed xRecovery.

This lunchtime I used xRecovery to install JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz and SilverCircleBattery21A0435.

The phone now loops on boot. It gets as far as the first 'Sony Ericsson' screen and restarts. xRecovery will not launch. The phone will mount the sdcard on my Windows 7 PC for about 5 seconds but then as it restarts, the SD card is unmounted again.

The phone loops and loops so I have removed the battery to prevent any further issues.

Could anyone suggest, preferably clearly enough for this humble idiot to understand <G>, how I could fix this?

Cheers

Hi everyone.

I'm having issues with SDHC card with my Desire.

Problem I'm experiencing I've described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11334767&postcount=51

Basically measured read value of my SD card is very low, approx 2-3 MB/s.

I've digged this forum, and found solution for this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815557&page=26

Solution is to edit "/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb" file.

As described in the topic, while value in this file is 4 you should change it to 128.

Now, I have Astro file manager installed allowing me to view this value but I'm unable to save it.

Dear Good People, I would be really appreciate when someone could tell me how to speed up my SD card without Rooting my phone (Phone is brand new - just 2 weeks old) - I would like to avoid loosing guaranty.

I have Android 2.2, not modified ROM.

Hello everybody! :)

I'm running on my GT-I9000 the speedmod kernel K13A with lagfix enabled. Therefore my GS doesn't work so fast. Then I read about superoptimized kernel which promises huge performance.

My question is: If you tried it what do you think? Is it better than Speedmod or Voodoo Kernel?

And what about Speedmod Kernel BIGMEM?

Thank You very much in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HM.Carbide:
I tried speedmod, super optimized and voodoo kernel.

I love the darker brightness level of speedmod as it saves a lot of battery.

VSF in super optimized kernel is a good idea, but it switches all the time, what made me nervous.

voodoo is ok but does not have the darker brightness level.

So i am now on speedmod kernel as the best "allrounder" stable fast enough and good battery life
[Adam General] zanzabros:
Hello everybody,

I would like know opinions from users about Adam as an e-book reader.

I've seen all the videos in the archive about that, and i've seen that the screen looks pretty poor as an ereader vs a true e-paper, so my question is:

I would use it for academic books in pdf or djvu that i need for my university exams and academic papers.

considering that Adam is a tablet and can do a lot more than an ebook reader, i could be satisfied with a poor e-reading experience,

so i would like to know from whom of u who already owns it if u would suggest it or not for my pourpose.

In other words, if i have to spend about 400 € for good ereader, but i can have an adam for 500 € considering that i would use it for a lot more thing than studying, if the pixel qi technology is quite satisfieing i would chose an adam..
[Adam General] ngough:

[Adam General] zanzabros:
Thank u, i've already seen that, but i would like to hear some user opinion since that review doesn't speak in terms of e-reading experiece but more of powersaving possibilities with the pixel qi.

I don't want a tablet, i want an e-reader, but for those prices, since i need it for reading big pdfs of scanned books (and i would need a 9" expensive e-reader for a sporadic use) i would like to understand if Adam could do the trick of giving me a decent e-reading experience.

In that case i would justify the price paid since i would use it for more much things than only studying and reading academic papers.

No one out there does use it for reading manuals and academic books that they can't afford to print?

Thanks
[Adam General] Koadic:
First, I haven't yet ordered an adam, due to the Mastercard issues, but when I finally do, I plan on getting one with the Pixel Qi screen, and one of it's uses will be as an ereader. I don't plan to do all my reading in the Pixel Qi mode, but there are many situations where a standard LCD just won't cut it for me, so I need the option.

Here is my take on it judging by what reviews are out there in reference to the Pixel Qi and the experience viewing documents on my 4" android phone...

Software:

Will the adam work as a good e-reader? Sure, there are many apps available for android that provide for a pleasant reading experience. There are apps to view just about any format you want (many of them free), so you can choose to convert it to the best format, instead of possibly settling for another because of limited support. Combine that with a 10.1" screen, fairly low weight, and ergonomic weight distribution (concentrated on one side as opposed to spread out evenly, which makes it feel lighter) and it will make a great reader.

Hardware:

Is Pixel Qi as good as e-ink? No, not quite. In the 'e-ink' type mode, it is a reflective grey-scale lcd screen, and doesn't have as good of a contrast ratio as you will see on the newest e-ink screens, and therefore not as crisp. Is the Pixel Qi as good as a regular LCD? Again, not quite. It isn't as bright as a normal LCD screen, and again the contrast ratio is also a little lower, but it isn't that bad either. There are people looking into tweaking the display settings (like gamma and such) like you can in Windows, to optimize the experience. Also, while good, and with the software needing further tweaking to make it better, the battery life won't be as good a dedicated e-ink reader.

The pro's of this are that it is still an LCD screen, and while in transmissive/transflective mode, is full color, and can be taken out into the bright sunlight and still be read clearly (although with loss of color). Also, as you said, the adam is a tablet which can do a lot more than a dedicated ebook reader.
[Adam General] ptok:
I mostly read novels, so these are some comments for a few paper-back sized readers, not for text books, but maybe there's some useful information here anyway.

Kindle3 (6"):

Good for reading outside. Super high resolution. Put it under a microscope and it looks like it was laser printed. Not so good if there is not a lot of ambient light. Expect to need a nice bright light nearby when using it indoors. This is my current book reader of choice for use outside. I pretty much hate the GUI. Anything beyond read, turn page, read, is an exercise in patience and frustration.

Dell Streak (5"):

Good for inside and under most lighting conditions. Nearly ideal size for reading novels. Very sharp text and great contrast. This is my current book reader of choice for anything but outside in direct sunlight. Great battery life you can read forever in airplane mode.

iPhone 4:

Similar experience to Streak. Even sharper text. You have to turn the page a lot. Not really a problem.

iPhone 3Gs:

Similar to iPhone 4, but text is a little blurry in side-by-side comparisons with the others. Still O.K. though. I read on one of these for 5 hours straight NY to LA and liked it, but it did need recharging for some reason.

I haven't used either the iPad or Adam PQi for much reading yet, but i did play with them side by side (my son has the Adam), and think I would prefer all of the above to either for extended reading. In fact a Kindle + Streak combo is still smaller, lighter and more readable than an iPad or Adam.

So maybe the take home message is 'Jack of all trades, master of none.'

Additional notes.

iPad:

Hard to hold. Too big and heavy for long reading sessions. If you keep it out of direct light, i.e., in your shadow its just as good as the PQi. Inside it is way better owing to greater contrast and seemingly higher resolution.

Adam PQi:

That rounded handle makes it way easier to hold than in iPad. Not so thrilled with the stability of the software so far. PQi in direct sunlight is better than iPad, but still no fun to read. It's not even close to e-ink for direct sunlight.

Other notes on the PQi:

I think people have been way too kind in describing how much of a compromise the PQi display really is. For somewhat better outdoor performance, you get the poorest LCD display quality I've ever seen.

The text looks more pixelated than I've have noticed on other 10.1" displays or the iPad. I expect this is because every other row of the LCD is dedicated to the reflective elements. I put it under a microscope and every other row of pixels is off in LCD mode, so I think that explains it. It probably also explains the lame contrast. In PQi mode it looks a little sharper, but still pixellated. I have a PQi Adam on the way and kind of wish it was an LCD version.
[Adam General] zanzabros:
i don't mind lightness as i won't be using it for reading novels. Actually here in Italy e-books are almost nonexistent. I read novels on paper mostly because of that and also because i don't think reading on 4" backlit display is a good experience (i've a Nexus One)

I would read pdf scans and that is a thing u can't do with a kindle3 because as i've read it is not possible to zoom if i am right...

My concerns are only about studying sessions on backlitted displays, i don't want an exploding headache after 4 hours reading on an LCD.

And no, i don't want to buy a book on the cost of 50€ for using it 2 months of my life for a specific exam. Yes i could lend it from a library and that's the way i go for now, but a lot of texts aren't available, not for speaking of manuals regarding things like digital art or photography, in which i'm involved but that are impossible to get in italian libraries near where i live.

I think th PQi is a good compromise on that since in the transreflective mode on indoor good lightining conditions i could get good non-eye-tiring reading. (Am i right?)

And i don't really mind a sharp display or with intense colors since i would use it for surfing the web, reading news, socials, mails, and leave to my laptop the multimedia things.

Actually i'm almost convinced that it will be a good choice for my pourpose.
[Adam General] clockcycle:
What are you basing this analysis on? You don't have an Adam PQi as of yet, did you get hands on someone else's to make this determination?

-CC
[Adam General] ptok:
My son got his in the last batch. Mine is on the way. I get to play with it in the few moments when he is not using it.
[Adam General] ptok:
I look at an LCD all day long, It doesn't bother me.

The Kindle can zoom on a PDF but it's limited and frustrating. Like I said, turn page, read, turn page, read, that's what it's good for.

I don't think the PQi display is right for me, but it may be for you. I think the only way to really find out is to try it.
[Adam General] litening:
If you want to use the device fir a paper replacement while studying, you definitely need a tablet instead of an ereader.

Speed (searching and page turning) and possibility to annotate make a tablet a very good paper replacement.

Transflective display means you can use the tablet under more circumstances (especially in Italy where you DO have sun ;-D).

Re eye strain I tend to agree with tpok. LCD is not too bad on the eyes

[Adam General] bestmichels:
QI looks great the brighter the sun shines

Hi!

With Kindle-reading-mode ADAM's QI display looks very crisp, while you're reading in bright sun.

Compared to the iPad the LCD-Mode inside is not that good, but this is definitely better if you turn off the automatic-light-dimming. I use ADAM at 80% of it's available Backlight-power, then inside, sometimes it's already too bright for me.

QI is way better than iPad for outside-usability!! Also in the shaded areas iPad suffers already any contrast where ADAM looks much more crisp, but already without any regardable colour. In the sun, where I want to use a tablet-PC very often, there is nothing compareable, it's very nice to see and with "Kindle"-Mode books are very good to read, they weight of ADAM is not more than a big paperback and with it's curved edge it's good to hold. I wish the rubberized surface of the batterie-cover would be allover ADAM's backside, this would increase the good handling of ADAM.

I'm waiting for a solution to fix it to my bike, so there will be an readable(!) navigation for exploring "the wilderness" with my bike by using GPS-tracks:)

With honeycomb I think ADAM's lack of performance in some apps will be history...

Good e-reader

I'm using the plain LCD model with a Skinomi screen protector (get rid of the matte protector it distorts) with FBReader and like it. My partner likes me reading in bed with night mode. I've used Kindle and Kobo and it isn't straightforward comparing them. Without going into great detail, I buy books from Amazon and get to read books as e-pubs on these devices. The Kobo is light and book-like, but the Adam is different ... I can read while I listen to digital radio (TuneIn) or music (3 by Fillipe Abrantes is a great player) via BT Jabra stereo headset. I need two devices if I try this with a Kobo or Kindle ... My N1 plus Kobo. As I stated earlier, the comparison is not straightforward .... In short, I am happy, and I am hard to please!

Just saw the news that the Tab 2 is 10.1". I had been waiting to buy a tablet for the Tab 2 with hopes of the upgraded hardware and still a 7" screen. I don't want a 10" screen for a tab.

I guess i'm just looking to see if the hardware on the Tab 1 is good enough for most things.

Guess I'm just disappointed in a 10".
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattr0:
Will you be using it as a phone? If yes, I would ask to re-think it twice about 10" for a phone lol

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocheau:
Or you can just wait until Honeycomb will be released, at that time you will have an upgrade in your GT 7" from Samsung or from XDA.

At the moment the Hardware is capable enough to make everything you want, record video at 720, watch HD movies or play HD Games...

Personally, I would not move to a 10" Tab, as a 7" fits my needs.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
I'm not moving. I don't have 1.

I was waiting to buy a tab till the 2, but it's 10". I've played with my friends Ipad, besides being locked down, I don't like how big it is. I really like the 7" size.

I don't think in NA I can use it as a phone. PLus I don't think I want a CDMA tab even tho My cell is Verizon.

I'm using it mainly as GPS, Game, email, hopefully Skype, etc. All over wifi. I travel for my job and would like to have this, and wherever I go I have wifi, and refuse to pay ~30-40/month for a data plan or w/e.

So was just looking to see if people felt I should get the 7". I mean I know it's my decisions, I guess I just want to know based on what I want to use it for, does it do it well.

I do plan on rooting it and stuff, I heard some of the ROM's actually remove a ton of the lag, and I doubt samsung will release HoneyComb so was hoping a xda developer would for the Tab, and the Tab would be powerful enough to run it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertsydbrink:
The 10" was a big downer. I dont see any real use for a tab just in the home and a 10" is to big to have with you all the time plus its heavy for the hands/wrists to use longer times.

Now when im running Rotos JMI ontop a 1,4GHz ext4 kernel i cant realy ask for much more. The tab works great and are quick in the perfect format.

Would be fun if hc get ported to the sgt. But i will never buy a 10" when they are almost completly useless in my eyes.

EDIT: And i use my sgt as phone so i have it on me all the time. It fits in my front pockets on my pants without problems, but im a big dude so i have big pockets :-)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
He's flashed it with a custom kernel to run at 1.4.

If you buy the AT&T version, you can indeed get voice calling in the US, after you flash it with Euro firmware and insert a SIM from a voice plan device. You can also get it with the T-Mobile version, but there's a few issues with that. Good news is that both versions can use international firmware no problem, even if you don't want/use voice calling.

I'd stay the hell away from the Sprint and Verizon devices for a couple of reasons. The first is that they have less internal memory (2Gb vs 16Gb), and the other is that neither unit can use international firmware, leaving you almost entirely at the mercy of the carriers for upgrades.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
This is the kind of information I was looking for. TY for taking time.

What about the Best Buy / Amazon version? Yea I was staying away from Verizon/CDMA. I have verizon for my phone cause of work, and not a huge fan.

However, I won't need calling on the Tab.

Does it function OK OC"d at 1.4? It doesn't get too hot? Stability issues?

Yea I don't want to be at mercy. I want to put honeycomb on it if I do get it. I probably will now that 2 is 10, so I'll get 1. Just gonna wait and see if price comes down to like 400 or somethign hopefully.
