[Nook Color General] succulent:
I haven't seen any slow down in any game yet. Most android games are designed with a specific resolution and android doesn't scale like iOS so you have game that doesn't take up full screen. There are still a lot of game with scaling. Nowadays developers make games for the medium spec android devices so a Nook Color will run everything fine. You do get some certain games that won't play on NC because of android fragmentation.
[Nook Color General] migrax:
I play Angry Birds on the NC, and it looks fine. I confess I could not get opengl screensavers to run on it, but that may be because I am an android noob.

[Nook Color General] cosine83:
The Nook Color is actually very well spec'd for a tablet of its price and Android tablets in general. Its CPU/GPU is very good and runs, even on stock, most games (I play) without a hiccup. Pocket Legends is smooth as silk, all of my emulators and ROMs play without any lag or issues, and Angry Birds is good times. Not the games you're asking about specifically, but I don't see why they wouldn't run well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manny84:
Hello all,

I'm just curious as to how this feature is supposed to work. I have my device set to automatically adjust while it's on medium brightness and I've noticed that the brightness jumps from low to medium frequently, especially when I'm on just one page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
I believe it just counts the number of white pixels on the screen on the omnia. this is why it jumps so much. The only way to prevent the jumping is to set the birghtness on low, with the auto setting off. Even on medium or high it jumps when the page has a certain % of white pixels. Like for opening the browser its really annoying :) however on low brightness the colours are really nice and its just perfect for me. Its just too bright on med or high brightness for my preferences.

But the way how the "feature" itself work I have no clue. Maybe a light sensor. But the jumpiness is caused by the number of white pixels on the amoled screens, and occurs only on samsung devices I believe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manny84:
Thanks for that explanation, Marvin :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blowy666:
Hello everybody!

I have a little problem/a little question.

I´ve flashed Cyanogen 7, which is based on Gingerbread.

And now I´ve tried to open some ACC radio streams...the links are from yourmuze.fm, and should be opened on my Desire with XilliLive.

That was no problem before when I had a Froyo based ROM (Cyanogen 6.1.1) on my phone.

But now, the app could not open the stream any more....it tries and tries, but nothing happens.

Does anybody know why this is not possible with Gingerbread?

By the way, sorry for my english... ;-)

[EVO 4G General] PookiePrancer:
When I connect an external battery pack, it puts my Evo in car mode and the battery fails to charge. Wassup with that?!
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
that's not just a feature of myn's, its sense. What kind of battery is it? The reason why, is because one of the ports on that usb are grounded, and that tells the phone its a car dock. So actually, its a fault of whatever battery u are using.

Sprint Nixing $10 Premium Data Fee? Read here.

Sprint customers with 4G devices on standard Everything Data plans are reporting the removal of the additional $10 Premium Data fee from their accounts on the latest statements from the carrier, while those on SERO are also reporting the removal of the fee from those accounts as well.
[General Topics] carhauler1969:
Just checked my account & while I am being charged for it this month (February), it is not showing up in my plan details any longer. I'm on Simply Everything Plan with my VaelPak'd Supersonic EVO 4G. :D:D
[General Topics] JinB:
I'm on SERO Premium and $10 has been removed... I hope it stays gone. :D
[General Topics] kajex:
It won't show on the main page of your account for some reason, but still shows the fee under "analyze my plan."
[General Topics] icecold23:
I wish I had Sprint as on option. It seems like their pricing is far better than any of the other major carriers.
[General Topics] Superbovine:
Same here. Also, under analyze plan as was mentioned before, it is still shown, though always figured that was "current bill" based on the way it is laid out.

My new month starts in 3 days, I'll be keeping an eye on it; this would be nice.
[General Topics] LargePrime:
Did not sprint just add this fee to all smart phones as well?

EDIT; So reading the article first would have Eliminated the need for this post.

Cool that you could terminate your contract early!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UpwardSpiral:
Hi,

I'm writing here because I am running into an issue that I don't think is a standard Q/A how-to type issue.

The issue involves trying to sign the new tmobile themes with a private key. Every theme so far uses a non-private key. This wasn't a problem before now, but the android market started filtering these, and no longer will let anyone update their theme.

I figured out how to sign the app already, but ran into another issue. When I install the app and open theme chooser, the preview for my image is black. In alogcat, I have the following error:

The resource ID should be #0x0a020228

The exact same app works perfectly with a test key, but is broken with a private key. I could really use some help with this after trying to bang my head against a wall for two days trying to figure this out. Thanks for the help.

First off, sorry for asking a noobish question. I know it was said somewhere but for some reason I can't find it.

But I remember sometime that if you accepted an update, you couldn't temp/perm root. Is this still true?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColeSloth:
Last I heard was that they sent an update out on a different model phone that stopped the exploit and that they would likely do it to the shift soon. Dunno if they ever did. If you updated your then try and see if temp root works and you'll know for sure. Otherwise I wouldn't except any updates from them if you're wanting to root.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Downtime24:

I'm fully OTA updated, and the temp root still works via visionary :D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstat:
When I had my iPhone I downloaded an application that simply turned off the 3g radio when the phone was asleep. It would switch to 2g for standby and when woken again the 3g would activate. This saved a ton of battery for me during standby. Is there such an app like this for Android? Ive done a little searching but can find nothing other then wifi sleep and 3g scheduling. I'm getting great battery life but would like to squeeze a little more out of my Captivate. Any help is appreciated!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman94:
Thats would be cool..... I'm sure it could save battery life.

EDIT: Have you tried Juice defender?

EDIT2: Now that I'm thinking about it..... I would like that as it would change not only data but vouce to 2g(GSM) so if I were to get a voice call while in 2g... it would more than likely continue that way once answered... and IMHO the voice quality on 3g is superior.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstat:
When I had the app on my iPhone there were several options, you could set a delay for the 3g radio to turn back on, leave it off completely,etc. When I woke the phone, it instantly (since thats the option I chose) kicked back into 3g from 2g. It was very nice. I had 2g sleep state to save battery but still had 3g for data and calls.

Im sure there is nothing out there like this for android but I figured I would at least check here first before I decided it was pointless to look, we do have a great community of people whom are willing to help, you know. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman94:
Well... like I said.... juicedefender has that option.... you could try that out....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstat:
I was reading up about Juicedefender on some site earlier. It said it was only a scheduler to turn the 3g on and off at specific times. From the sounds of it theres a few apps out there that do the same thing, I guess ill have to download it and see for myself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyG:
I think there's an app that does what you are looking for called superpower, try googling that or market search it. Hope it works out for you :)

Welcome to android :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Juice Defender switches off mobile data, not switches to Edge. It does save battery though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Use 'Super Power'. Has lots of options and features.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstat:
Thanks guys, this has what I was looking for. I looked over a thread for this app months ago but didnt do to much more with it. It works well but the 30 second delay to switch to 2g isnt to intriguing. Ill play with it more though, its just what I needed. It sucks when you go to shoot a quick text though and have to wait on the data to reactivate though ;)
[Vibrant General] tibere86:
Has anyone using an unlocked Vibrant on AT&T successfully been able to access AT&T Hotspots? My brother has been unable to. What is necessary to auto authenticate access like what iPhones and Blackberries do? Is it based on IMEI or sim card or phone number?
[Vibrant General] kgbros:
ATT hotspots are designed for ATT's residential and business internet customers. When using your phone, you will need to authenticate like you would with any other phone/laptop. Using the vibrant is no different.

My point is the phone shouldn't matter once you have access rights (password)
[Vibrant General] tibere86:
Thanks for the reply. What I was referring more towards was the auto authentication used by iPhones/Blackberries. How is this being accomplished?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rptw:
first of all, next time, please dont post the exact same threads in two different forums, thats just annoying

in terms of saving battery, since ive had my streak (2 weeks) i havent really run into any situation where i panic because my phone might die, it easily runs for the full day with data connection connected all the time although im not really a heavy user so a lot of the time the phone is idle, dont know my stats and how long the phone is able to last for but ive never hit 0% before going to bed
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iivanovic:
I didn't panic, just ask for other users oppinion.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer4evr:
The main thing I do with every new phone is drain the batt to 0 or as close to it, turn it off and charge as long as I can, turn it on wipe the batt stats, and start over. do it for 2 or three days and you should have a lot better battery life.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okayokayokay:
JuiceDefender with UltimateJuice seems to help save significant battery life by doing things like limiting sync times and turning off wifi based on location when you don't need it.
[Legend General] davidmjj:
Hello all.

I want to root my HTC Legend (Yes, I know there are 1000 post about this on the forum, but please, keep reading because I couldn't find a solution for what I exactly want...)

I have a HTC Legend with the original ROM that Vodafone installs in it. I'm running Froyo 2.2 and my kernel version is 2.6.32.17-g732a780. The Boot-loader version I'm using is HBOOT-1.00.0000.

As I stated before, I want to either root or soft root my phone. For some reason that I still can't understand, it looks like The Legend is more difficult to root than other HTC models... The point of rooting my phone is to be able to make a full backup using Titanium Backup Tool BEFORE making any changes to my existing room (Yes, I want to change the ROM). I've been reading a lot of post where in order to change the ROM I have to first downgrade the phone to Android 1.3 to be able to root it but, What about if I want to make a full backup BEFORE the downgrade? Is there a way to create a full backup with no root permissions? Titanium Backup only works if the phone is rooted...

If I can create a full backup of my phone the way it is right now, I don't mind to downgrade in order to root it and flash it... but I don't want to experiment not having a full backup stored in a safe place...

So far, I've tried Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5 with no luck on both: root and soft root. I get the error message: "Failed! No Fu Goo"

I'd really appreciate any help on this matter either by solving the problem or by offering a different approach for what I want.

Thanks in advance to all of you for your time and attention.
[Legend General] qzem:
What you need is a tool called rvisionary from modaco. With this tool you can achive temp root aka soft root. And then back up with titanium backup. Everything you need to know and the tools requiered can be found here. You have to follow instructions for Already OTA updated with HBOOT 1.01, if you want to root it.
[Legend General] davidmjj:
Thanks a lot for your input qzem!

I'll try what you are telling me there and let you know how it went.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbysteels216:
You have nothing to fear about getting the Tbolt because it'll work just fine. Verizon doesn't have 4G where I live at (Greensboro, NC) currently but I'm getting it (preordered it at Best Buy) because I like having a signal (switching to Verizon) and the city that I live in will be the next batch of cities that they fallout 4G LTE to.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
Yes, the thunderbolt will work in 3g or 4g coverage....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyu73:
The only thing that wont work is the advertised voice and data at the same time as you need 4G (i think voice uses 3G and data 4G or some silly techy thing like that).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachpl:
Ok, thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyu73:
Not that I'm an expert, but Verizon only can enable it under 4G coverage areas. They can do it, I assume, because they stream data over 4G and voice over 1x/3G or something in that nature. I'd post my link references, but I'm too lazy to look for them. However, I think the Wirefly unboxing guy mentioned that too.
