What if you take the SD card out and try to put it in a card reader and connect to your PC? Does everything come up fine then? If so, SD card slot on your INC might be bad. If not, the card could be bad.

Welcome to the Now network. Population 49 million

Right now 370,000 are downloading the speed test app.

143,000 from the web, 200,000 via the market and 27,000 from xda

320,000 are getting speeds less than 100K, 13,000 are streaming pandora on a bus, 12,500 are getting choppy playback, 300 are using the proxy fix, and 200 are using a verizon prl.

3700 just realized they dont live in a 4g area. 3200 just called sprint to complain.

Right now sprint just credited 2356 users 50.00, 1422 of those will etf any way. 711 will have their etf credited.

4654 Users are looking at other carriers. 4000 just realized that verizon and att are over priced. That same 4000 just realized that t-mobile has no 3g in their area.

Thats happening NOW. Americas most "dependible" 3g network and Americas first 4g Network.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
I don't know if this is a bash post or not. However, I'm in my college math class so I felt like doing some math:

Total users you've mentioned on the Sprint network: 49,000,000

Total users experiencing problems: 340,354 (the users that were comped, had their etf comped, the 4000 that realized blah blah, the speed test downloaders and the 500 people not experiencing Pandora problems were excluded from the total count.

% of users that have an issue? .7% Users who have a satisfactory relationship with Sprint (based on the figures provided): 99.3%

If those numbers are accurate, I think T-Mobile is in trouble for customer service of the year award :P
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
LOL...not really a bash post just kinda poking fun at the recent data speed fiasco.

Those numbers are just random numbers from one of their commercials.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hahah! Right now, dialup makes their 3g and 4g network look hella good.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:

After running rom manager to install from sd card it asks for backup and wipe and reboots to my original stock rom. Im confused. Im rooted have superuser, busybox. I try to manually boot into recovery and it keeps sending me to the exclamation point screen. I can only get into manual recovery after reflashing clockworkmod. When i try to manually flash the rom no .zip files are visible on my sd card. Noob and confused any help would be greatly appreciated. Tring to get over the hump on this initial flash.

[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Hey well wanted to report my results from last night. Needless to say I am unhappy with "4g" and tethering. Least in VA T-Mobile.

Ok Tablet speedtest.net results.

1.5Mbit DL / 0.5~1.1Mbit UL (Sounds ok not too bad compared to my G1 on 3g which was 400 kbps)

Now here is where it goes to hell.

Wifi Tether then using speedtest.net on my PC

0.5 Mbit DL / 0.2~0.4 Mbit UL Ping 600+ to test server. Lag on video gaming like Team Fortress 2 was horrible... 500~1000ms ping to server.

I said hell with that tried USB tether. CONSIDERABLE performance increase!

1.0 Mbit DL / 0.5 Mbit UL Ping 165 to test server.

Team fortress 2 kept me at about 150~185 ms ping. Which didnt stutter too much, I was able to play smoothly online, Couldnt dogfight close and personal as well since I was a lil lagged behind but it is playable enough to perform respectably. =)

Now this is using the built in android 2.2 tether on the DS7. I do not know if there are better apps or rooted apps that would increase performance of tethering? Anyone know? It seems rather fishy that a wifi tether would drop in bandwitdh SOOOOO much on a high end system setup.

Also another note. USB tethering, does not seem to drain the battery! I had it fully charged and during my entire night of TF2ing, it stayed fully charged! NICE! =)

Test results was from Virginia Beach, VA, connecting to Washington DC speedtest.net

Anyone have some performance or tricks to get better bandwitdh results? =)

I'm trying to turn my phone into a fast AOSP with EXT4. From what I've read, CyanogenMod & EXT4 is the way to go. My previous phone was a TP2 with XDAndroid, so I can work around some things not working.

Here's how I'm trying to get it going, and it keeps hanging at the SAMSUNG logo when I power it on:

1: Download ROM & Apps from android.stolenrobot.com/Epic4G/epic.htm

2: One click root 3.0.0.6

3: Copy CyanogenMod, Google apps, to root of SD card

4: Reboot into CW, let it reformat EXT4.

5: Wipe data/factory reset

6: Wipe cache partition

7: Install zip from sd card, choose CyanogenMod. Let it do it's thing

8: Install zip from sd card, choose apps zip, let it run

9: Reboot - Hangs at SAMSUNG - WTF?

Thanks for any help!

[G Tablet Accessories] DGoward:
I have read the numerous threads on mounting a G-Tab into a car.

I have not gotten a good enough idea or gauge as to what people were using or their success rate or satisafaction.

So I'd like to ask all who have mounted a G-Tab into their car how they did, are they satisifed with it, where they got it, and if they could post some pics of the mount.

I've been looking at some of the mounts from Ram Mounts, and Mount Guys and I just hate throwing away money on a product that doesn't work right or ends up being junk.

If anybody has came up with a good home made sloution post that up as well.

Thanks....

Here are the mounts I've been looking at:

actually will be making a new one for my g-tablet. it will complement the mount i already made for my archos 5IT so I can use ether one. I think i spent $20 in supplies from wmt earlier today. After i get it all done i will post pics throughout the process and try to show my steps and how it turns out.

I have had a few Ram-Mount setups for laptops in the past and I think their mounts are excellent.

I actually have the Tab-Tite mount you listed on order. Once I get it, I'll post some pics.

Last word I got from the shipping dept was that it should be released at the end of Feb. Hoping to get it soon.
[G Tablet Accessories] DGoward:
looks good..

Looks good but I have no way to do that in my car. I've got to find a way to mount it below dash line of sight, and over into passanger seating area as I have very little room in center counsole area.
[G Tablet Accessories] DGoward:
Please do.. I would love ot see how they actual work out and what someone thinks of it...
[G Tablet Accessories] Xargon321:
the one that uses the power port to hang the mount is it for the gtab or just 7" tablets?
[G Tablet Accessories] DGoward:
That won't work in my car. I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber and the center console where the power plug is at has no room for the mount.

Here's what the center of my car looks like. If anybody has any good ideas to mount this to be used as a 10" GPS I would love to here your ideas.

Is anyone using the mountguys products. I don't want to be the guinea pig.

Just an update on the Tab-Tite. I heard back from Ram-Mount yesterday. They had to make a small design change and it's pushed back release date until next week.

Will post pics when(if?) I get mine :)
[G Tablet Accessories] studean:
I built a cupholder mount out of some PVC pipe, a gooseneck lamp, some oak 1x2s and a couple of T-brackets. I designed it so I could swap the tab mount for my phone mount, and it works well enough, but having to swap out the mounting hardware isn't the most ideal situation, so I'm looking at either a flexible redesign that can switch (Transformers-style) between tab mount and phone mount or a more semi-permanent, hinged mount that would put my tablet over my stereo, giving me the convenience of having my media and navigation solution in the place I would normally look for it, but the flexibility to flip it up and out of the way if I needed to look at the stock system for one reason or another. Then I could leave the cellphone hardware attached to the cupholder mount, allowing me to raise my phone above dash level. Admittedly, I don't know why I would want to do this yet, but it seems like a good idea...

[Hero CDMA Accessories] pipefitter:
After considerable searching, I found a site that sells speakers for our hero for $2 each.

http://www.wirelesspartsinc.com/herocdmasprint.aspx

The speaker is simple to replace. PM me if you need assistance.

UPDATE: Received the speakers today. They are crap! Dinged up, no plastic 'ring' on the front, no foam tape.. Definitely not "brand new" as advertised. Installed anyway. One worked poorly and the other was DOA! Called seller and got no satisfaction. DO NOT BUY!!!:(

Truly sorry for recommending before I received the product!!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] jake3313:

My speaker has been blown for such a long time and I could not find ANYWHERE, not even ebay, where they sell replacement speakers.

Thank you sooooo much. I appreciate it.

Oh yea definitely do not buy. Its all crap. They gave me one ring and no foam tape. Both were basically DOA. But whatever, only 4 bucks plus shipping. Lesson learned.

[Nook Color General] superflysocal:
With all the new roms forcolor nook out what is the status of its ability of playing videos, especially 720 mp4 and mkvs downloaded from the internet without having to reencode the files?

Which rom/player combination is best for this?
[Nook Color General] Izord:
I'd like to know also. Currently using Rockplayer on HC from the EMMC, and videos from my camera shot at 640x 480 and esp 848x480 are quite slow and jerky. Definitely not something to show someone else.

Anyone have recommendations?
[Nook Color General] timekeeper:
DSP/HW accel is not working in all non-stock roms and is being worked on, but even in the stock rooted, I doubt it plays 720p well enough, unless it's been encoded into an mp4 or something that's natively supported.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
That is not true. Hardware decoding works in Froyo, just not in CM7 or HC.

It is true that files need be rencoding in compliant MP4 files for them to work. You need a dual core tablet for downloaded mkv support.
[Nook Color General] timekeeper:
My bad - I only tried nookie froyo on the SD and used it for less than 10 minutes.
[Nook Color General] Izord:
I can't get hardware to work in Froyo on either Vital player or Rock Player. Anyone getting hardware decoding to work on Froyo?

How are you doing it?
[Nook Color General] dalamchops:
no hardware accceleration on nookie froyo either for me. Able to play 720p AVI smoothly by using vital player neon on software decoding.
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
If working hardware decoding means that mp4 can be played with standart Movies application, than yes, it works for me in Nookie Froyo on eMMC.
[Nook Color General] Nucking Futs!:
Sounds like Nookie Froyo is the one to get (for now) if you want h/w acceleration for video.
[Nook Color General] Paul Paulson:
I've been trying to get high quality video to run on my 2.1 NC for a few days and can't seem to get the audio to match up with the video. mp4 video, 800x480, 1200 bitrate, 25 gps looks great but the sound is off. Pissed.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
That bitrate is slightly too high.
[Nook Color General] Solandri:
I tried all the video players I could grab from the market with my rooted NC.

Rockplayer actually doesn't seem to be very good. It lagged at times. I'm not sure it's using full hardware acceleration, or maybe it's not able to fully use or is not recognizing the NC's hardware acceleration.

The best player for getting finicky files to work was vPlayer. It has a "high quality" mode which I'm guessing supplements the hardware acceleration with software decoding to make up for features which the hardware doesn't support. It was able to play video files that the stock video player and others refused to play. I think it was playing them slower than full speed though - was hard to tell with the video samples I used.

It is a pay app with a free trial. When not in "high quality" mode, it would still play the finicky video files, but with visible errors in the decoding. A couple of the other players also did this. I guess instead of refusing to play, they just throw the file at the hardware and display whatever comes out. But vPlayer was the only one with an option to "fix" the errors. If you're not encoding your own videos, definitely give this one a shot.

I'm using mVideoPlayer for now. It's limited to the same file formats the stock player can play, but I really like the interface (swipe to seek forward/back, long-press in corners to adjust volume/brightness). And it automatically generates lists of videos from a customizable directory list. No more having to search through a file browser - my videos on both the emmc and microsd now show up in one big list.

The main problem is you need a back button to use it. If you don't hit back to stop playing a file, the next time you try to play any video file, it resumes playing the old file where you left off. But if you use softkeys to give you a back button, it puts an ugly circle on top of your video...
[Nook Color General] Manya3084:
Not really true. My Samsung galaxy plays 720p mkv's without issues. That's a single core phone.

I think in reaility we just have to wait for hardware decoding to be ported over.
[Nook Color General] sqs1shu:
really hope dev can get h/w acceleration going for custom rom, especially cm7. On related issue, my NC with cm7 can play flash video and frame rate is low though (looks like slide show with 360P video).
[Nook Color General] KyleK29:
Not NC related (haven't rooted yet), but having just played with (thanks to this thread) vPlayer, I can say it is definitely the superior program. My EVO handled a 720p .mkv file that rockplayer gave 6-10fps on, it was watchable and had no sync issues besides the occasional slow-down.

+1 for the tip.
[Nook Color General] shaxs:
I believe hardware decode works on Android 2.1 Auto Nooter 3.0. I have that installed and it works in rock player and vital player.

One thing to note is the hardware decoder can only decode a max width of 854. So your 720p files will not work with hardware encoding. You will have to re-encode the files.

I used this guide http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...using-handbrake-convert-video-nook-color.html and it seemed to work fine.
[Nook Color General] Tenburn:
Hello,

I'd have posted this to the dev section but the posting rules here require non-talkative people to fabricate 10 useless posts before they can post there.

I've noticed that "Cell Standby" is far and away my greatest battery user on my Nookie Custom 0.6.8 eMMC flashed device. Now, I'm sure this is just a mislabeled "Display" usage meter, but I wanted to make sure. I'd post a screenshot, but apparently I might be a terrorist since I haven't made ten posts yet so I'm not allowed to link images yet.

Thanks In Advance
[Nook Color General] junkrobot:
As far as I know, the cell phone battery usage problem has been debunked. I could be completely wrong, but since the Nook lacks the necessary components, there's no actual way for the power to be lost in the process.

I'm about as new as it gets, though, so take that with a grain of salt.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Yep, it is debunked, ignore it if battery life is the concern. If you want different info in Spare Parts for partial wake, this changes it to Android System.. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] sog1971:
I believe this, however -- how hard would it be to find an app that claimed to track what was using the battery with any accuracy. Pretty sad that the built in battery monitor gives "credit" to "cell standby" for 50%+ of battery usage on a device that does not even have a cell. Anybody could build an app that hard coded battery usage stats in pre-defined chunks ;)

I don't know why this bugs me so much...it just does. :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] tcurnutte:
Does virtuous run gingerbread. I tried searching on here and googling all I find are compare and contrast between. Does viruous run gingerbread? I really want to use sense ui but want to also have ginger. Should I download?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Virtuous is still Froyo. From my understanding, there won't be a Sense Gingerbread ROM, until HTC releases a phone which has that. Then the developers here can dump the ROM and port it to other phones like the Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tcurnutte:
Thanks for the response!

The 2.3 version of Sense is coming in a few months for the Desire series.

[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
I don't care what anyone says, but I still think Froyo runs better on the G2 than Gingerbread. Better battery life, stable and quick. What more could you ask for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Hate to break it to you but CM7 runs extremely fast and has better battery life than when I ran CM6 or stock rooted froyo lol.

/2 cents
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
They seem to run equally when i tried both.

Now to answer the OP's question, virtuous does not run gingerbread.. yet. when the gingerbread rom from HTC is released for the desire Z during spring, and someone dumps the rom or HTC releases it, then virtuous should have it.
