[General Questions and Answers] sf1nkx:
I'm having this problem with my phone and its driving me insane! i've looked everywhere for a solution but have found nothing that works. the problem is with connecting my samsung captivate to kies mini. the phone connects (apparently) and kies mini tells me that the latest firmware is being downloaded which it does, but then when it goes to upgrade my phone on the next screen i get this message saying 'SGHI897 could not be upgraded' and it tells me to unplug my phone and remove/replace the battery, which does absolutely nothing! i've tried installing the latest drivers on my laptop but the same thing still happens and also, while my phone is connected to my laptop in kies mode the screen which says 'mtp application initializing' keeps flashing on my phone! whats going on?! how do i fix it and upgrade to froyo?! any help would be much appreciated

Hello everybody,

I have HTC touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 and I am looking for a screen digitizer to be supplied to me in INDIA. Can somebody help me find a supplier and/or tell me ow much would it cost.

In the mean time, any help on how to use phone without using screen as input. There are few functions and programs commands that can only be interacted through touch of screen. What should i do to overcome this problem. Apart from digitizer issue my phone is working perfectly fine.

:confused:

Thanking you in anticipation

[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Can anyone please tell me what is the difference between Radio 12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M (from the Hack Kit) and Radio 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 (from the Android Revolution thread)?

Which, if any, is the original "stock" radio?

Where did the other non-"stock" radio come from?

Are certain radios better for certain ROM's?

I have been switching between Android Revolution and inspired_dhd_vfr series, and it seems that the choice of radio affects the time it takes to get a GPS lock. Does this make sense?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
The first radio its the stock att radio...the second its the telus radio...

I've been hearing rumors that tablets in 6 months to a year will make this tablet obsolete. Apparently tablets will be coming out soon with almost twice the processing speed as this currently has, is that true? I have to make a decision on a tablet to buy that will last me at least 2 years before I can buy another one, do you all think that this will last that long? Should I wait another 6 months and buy a better tablet when they start rolling out? I know the developers will keep this going, but like with my HTC Hero, as soon as the next big thing came out, everybody left that device in the dust.
[Xoom General] nindoja:
It's a common joke in the tech world to say that by the time you buy your device it's obsolete.

Sadly, it's true. Qualcomm already announced some beastly processors at CES this year, but said they won't show up in devices until 2012. So that's already going to make your device obsolete within a year or so.

I'd say find a device you like now, and buy it. After you buy it be sure to look the other way as other devices get announced.

Also, don't buy into Best Buy's Buyback program, it's a ripoff. You have to sell back within 6 months, and can only get at most 50% of your purchase price back.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Are you ****ting on me? No really I think it smells funny in here. Of course it will be :)
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Computers and similar products like tablets and smartphones follow the same rule. The motorola Xooms performance will be outshadowed in a year, just like the Evo's performance is already outshadowed by the latest phones coming out.

To expect a technology product of this type to be relevant a year later is not gonna happen lol.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
The quadcores will be coming out (and the IPAD 3 is rumored to come out) at the beginning of next year.

The end of this year, that quadcores will be SAMPLING - meaning prototype devices will be shown, with release schedules in the beginning of the next year around this time.

With any sort of device, you are looking at a 6 month doubling time in technology. Recently that has been speeding up.

To be fair, the google nexus one (also a flagship) still gets regular updates first - the Moto xoom should be similar.

After one year, quadcores will come out - but your tegra 2 will still be usable.
[Xoom General] KwestJones:
its obsolete already....save ur money...don't buy anything...
[Xoom General] tsekh501:
Depending on what you mean by obsolete.

As with Android phones, there are severe competition within the Android platform. All big manufacturers refresh their flagship models every few months to take advantage of newer faster better components. If you want to always have to top of the line, the highest-spec Honeycomb tablet, the Xoom may not last for long. It's already been said that the Samsung one may have a better screen and the LG one does 3D... and how knows how many more Honeycomb tablets will be announced at CTIA by the end of this month.

But if you are considering getting a high-end tablet to won't be obsolete in the sense of not getting updates, or the hardware can't keep up with the softwares. You don't really have to worry, for at least a year or more. Your experience with it will only get better as Honeycomb platform gets more mature, for the next year at least.

This is always the case with Android. The faster, nicer looking, longer lasting device with the latest firmware and the newer manufacturer technology is always right around the corner.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Ultimately this is why I chose not to subsidize with a 24 month ($480 dollar + tax) contract.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
You'd have to be stupid to lock a tablet to a 2yr contract lol. How many people do u know that bought subsidized netbooks? Lol
[Xoom General] Low023:
I would like to introduce you to Moore's Law.

Moore's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The quantity of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years. The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or 2020 or later.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
What he said.

Obsolete is such a funny word. People interchange it with top of the line. There will be some games that come out in a year that won't look as good on the Xoom. They'll probably be/are tablets that are better able to decode video. But the Xoom won't tell stories of processing 4 times harder in the snow for a while.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Disregard.
[Xoom General] Tico.ASandoval14:
Well, it wont be complete obsolete but NVIDIA already announced that their new quad core processors will be out on tablets by August of 2011. So, thats twice the performance the xoom has now. I'm expecting a Xoom 2 of some kind. I would wait honestly. thats what imma do.
[Xoom General] ewitte:
Contract is for a data plan. You can always buy another off contract (full price) and switch them out.
[Xoom General] lucasite:
This is something thats frustrating me aswell. £500 is alot of money these days, especially with cost of living increasing, the price of rice etc.

So you kinda want to get a good few years use out of it. And not have to worry about upgrading within 12 months.

And likewise expect adequate support and updates as quickly as possible without feeling abandoned.
[Xoom General] Mooem7:
It won't be obsolete but it won't be top of the line anymore. Really, you should buy what makes you happy now, skip the next generation of tablets, and then refresh with whatever 3rd gen comes out in a year or so.

You'd be broke if you tried to keep up with the latest technology. Unless you have that much disposable income...
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yeah but if you have that attitude you'll be waiting forever. When the iPad came out I wanted to wait because although it's a great product, I don't like Apple's ethos. When the cheap aPad type tablets came out I wanted to wait because they're a bit dodgy build wise. When the Galaxy Tab came out I wanted to wait because I'm not a fan of the 7 inch form factor. Now the Xoom is out and I'm supposed to wait again, for another what 5/6 months because there MAY be a quad core tab out before the end of the year? No. The Xoom has everything I was waiting for, a proper tablet OS, open ethos (I was dreading an unlockable bootloader), good build quality and 10 inch form factor. It's what I've been waiting for. I'll be damned if I'm going to wait again just for a performance boost that I'm not even sure it needs right now.

Anyway, when the quad cores are out there will be another reason to wait. I can imagine it now. "Oh you're going to buy that quad tab are you? Why don't you wait until Icecream is out next Jan, then you'll be able to have glasses free 3D." Or some such other benefit for waiting. Nah, I'm done waiting, I'm jumping on the tablet train now.
[Xoom General] mazz0310:
Completely agree with you. There is finally a quality tablet out there and thats why I picked it up. I'm sure this is plenty fast enough, and you'll always be waiting for something better.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
Just pick a comfortable one and stop evaluating new ones, but treat them as candidate for 2 years later.

That's why having a 2-year contract helps sometimes. It help to set the mentality right.

Sometimes it sounds like, to be married or to be single and availe for better girlfriend/boyfriend ,

which one is better? :P

Just in this case, the contract is just 2-year. The inappropriate analogy is life-time (or at least hopefully for many's cases)
[Xoom General] Shadomastr:
I think the reason the xoom will not become obsolete as quickly as other tablets do is due to the software, not the hardware. I owned an htc hero and saw the nexus 1 get multitudes of update and my poor hero get only 2. The xoom is much like the nexus 1. Even though the hardware will not be the latest and the greatest, your software will always be up to date. Something you may not see with the LG device (due to 3D) or the Samsung device (due to Samsung being Samsung).

Just something to consider.

Can you say best buy buy back? I think it is for tablets too if you have to have the latest and greatest meanwhile I am enjoying my xoom

it would be far from obsolete. sure there will be newer models, but it the xoom wouldn't be obsolete.

I keep getting conflicting answers. Is it possible to tether the evo's 4G speeds wirelessly? If so what rom and what version of wireless tether do I need?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Please move to q&a sorry
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
I use Konikub's Elite Series II and when I tether (tested on a torrent), I max out at 1MB/s download speed. That is 4x faster than my wifi which maxes out at 250kb/s.

My average is in the 700-800kb/s range, where a single downloaded torrent will stick to unless there's more seeders than leechers.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiasticslide:
After fooling around with UrukDroid 0.7 (installed to the internal storage), I've decided that I would like to go back to the stock Archos FW. How would I go about doing this?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0rk burn:
You could just delete the partitions or you could completely wipe the Tablet from the boot menu.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiasticslide:
Didn't think it would be that easy. I had a little hiccup when I saw the UrukDroid splash on the first boot and it had to rebuild rootfs, but now it seems to be working fine.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirecrompir:
just out of curiosity: why did you decide to go back to stock rom? i'll get my 101 in a few days and i'm still deciding whether to install uruk or not.

and another question: so you can just revert to the stock rom without any traces of custom rom being installed? i thought if you once installed sde from archos there's no going back to stock state and you can kiss your warranty goodbye???

thanks!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
The SDE gives you the option to boot stock OR the dev environment, it does not remove the stock rom.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirecrompir:
ok, thanks. but doesn't the installation of sde itself void the warranty? or could you go back to the stock rom from uruk, uninstall sde and let's say return the malfunctioning unit under warranty and archos wouldn't know you had sde installed? sorry for my "android-ignorance", i've been a years-long user of wm phones/handhelds and this will be my first android device :o...

thanks

p.s.

nevermind, i found this on the archos page:

# Once the SDE firmware is installed on a device, this device will be watermarked and ARCHOS will be able to detect that this firmware has been installed once.

# Installing the SDE firmware is considered by ARCHOS as a voiding of the warranty and ARCHOS declines all liability and responsibility for any issues resulting from the installation of this SDE firmware.

so, if i understand correctly, once you've installed sde, you can never make a warranty claim of any kind, even if you've uninstalled sde and it's a hardware error or malfunction of the unit?

thanks

Currently I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from the internal rom but I am having the following problem even when I had eclair with autonooter. When I am turning off my nook for the night, in the morning I am stuck at the "Touch the future..." screen and I can only boot through clockwork recovery and choose reboot. I think that it started when I flashed clockwork for the first time, but I am not sure. Any ideas?

Additionally, I find that reflashing to a stock ROM or restoring a previous working backup image from CWM is the best way to go about it. Good luck!

I have the same problem too. Just remove the SD card on power on (reboot with software is OK)

Looking for better fix.
[Nook Color General] Nucking Futs!:
Thx, I'll take a look at that if I ever have booting issues.

Think this is caused by the recovery image. Upgrade your recovery to the latest version 3.0.1.0 and see if that fixes it.

[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
I could just have a defective unit but it seems to be after I use USB Mass Storage mode all my notifications reset to factory and the Atrix doesn't always rescan my card to pull the notifications to reset them. It's irksome and happens with Internal Storage and External Storage.....anyone else experiencing this?
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
I didn't notice any changes after using USB Mass Storage. I mounted my phone, copied some photos, and then dismounted. This is on a Linux system.

What sort of notifications changed for you?
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
All of them, I have custom notifications stored in a folder on my card called "Media" then in a subfolder called "Notifications" when I mount my phone in USB Mass Storage mode and eject the SD card, I notice that all my Notifications reset to "Unknown Ringtone" I just did a factory reset to see if that will resolve the issue, but I have to wait for all my applications to download. Should be interesting to see what happens.
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
Yea, on 3 separate Windows 7 Systems once I mount my Device in USB Mass Storage mode, the moment I go back to The Standard Motorola Portal (or even directly unplug the device) My notifications are reset to "Unknown Ringtone" in all the apps that I use. I did a factory reset last night so the only thing I am left with is the possibility that this phone may be defective if I'm the only one with this issue.
[Atrix 4G General] True2TheGame:
i'm having the same exact issue. Even after restarting my phone and reformatting my SD card my phone still doesn't recognize my SD card in the gallery or music, but if i use the files application it shows everything is still there
[Atrix 4G General] naturefreak85:
Not identical issue, but quite similar, it's as if once the Mass Storage is enabled the phone forgets 100% about the cards and any settings that were maintained on said cards. Clearly this is a bug that shouldn't have existed in a Product that is released and Moto needs to get on this to fix it.
[Atrix 4G General] 71chevellejohn:
I believe I have the same problem - The notification tones reset. Custom ringtones switch to just random mp3s(not ringtone mp3s) and the main ringer switches to the generic default. On mine I also notice that the default actions(which browser to use, what app to use with a specific file) are open after being connected via USB mass storage. I get prompted to select a default action every time after mass storage mode.
[Atrix 4G General] laskint:
This is an issue on both my Captivate and Atrix. I just copy the files into the system's media folders and don't have an issue. It's not only with Motorola but Samsung as well. It may be an Android thing, not the manufacturer....
