[HTC Inspire 4G] blakew23:
I was hoping the Inspire would have HDMI out, a kickstand, and a front facing camera. I would've already gotten the Inspire had it come with those features. I'm still considering it, but I don't want to get it if it's possible HTC is coming out with a phone with the above features anytime soon... thoughts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthonok:
Honestly if you keep that mind set you'll never be satisfied. Especially in todays market with new phones and different features coming out every other day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
+1, choose a phone that you like and stick with it. There will always be something better around the corner.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wuufer001:
I had similar thoughts like you before i got the inspire, but honestly, i dont even use the front facing cam on my previous iphone, although it can only video call with wifi, but i havent had a time when i wished i could use the video call when i didnt have wifi connection.

Git the inspire now and still dont regret not having a front cam. Sure its nice to have one, but how often do u use it.

Well at least the above essay is from my pov

When the times come that everyone is video calling, i would have changed my phone before then

Have fun, get what u want now, there is always a time when u say 'i wish i had waited' in regards to electronics/tech stuff

Wrong place mostly. The majority here doesn't like Apple to begin with, and we tinkerers don't like the idea of having an overpriced piece of tech. For the same price, you could have gotten a much better spec'd Windows kit. And if you are going desktop, by building your own rig, you could have built something that'll blow the Mac completely out of the world and still have change to bring your girl out for a date :)

CSB time.

My bud's GF is called Mac. So the first time I saw her (she was kinda cute) I decided to have a dig at her.

I just told her that I hate Mac with a vengeance and I will stay loyal with XP (my girlfriend's initials). My buddy laughed and she was stunned for a few seconds, and we had to explain the joke to her. Twice.

Later on, we were sitting beside each other and I made a fuss out of distancing with her, saying I'm allergic to Apple products.

And yeah, she smacked my arm after that.

Why on earth are you asking such a question here?! Folks here are fandroids! Ask another place.

But if you want one, buy it. You'll get top of the line hardware (and not thin crappy plastic fantastic ****) and you'll get a stable OS that's not crying about viruses everytime you're downloading Girls Gone Wild Vol. 86.

To whit, I submit the following questions to the OP and to Mr. BazookaAce:

What is the purpose of such a machine? Are you genuinely using it for the software suites that only Mac can handle? Or you're simply trying to impress the chicks that will never notice you otherwise?

If you answered "Yes" to the last two questions, you might need a Mac. Otherwise, move along. There is genuinely better laptops for a better price.
[Off-topic] boborone:
I use an hp dv7 as my main computer. First laptop. Now that I have it, I see the use of a portable laptop. I want an air because it is extremely portable. Fully operational computer. Spec something out that compares to it. You whine and cry about overpriced pos. Yes the desktops are. But put up or shut up. Spec a windows unit out that compares. Apple got it right with the air, and it's the only mac I would buy.

And to the op, only tip would be spend an extra bill to get 4gb of ram. Otherwise leave it as is if you have other computers to work from. It's a good ultra portable as is, just that bump in ram will boost performance to do all you need as a second portable device. Go for it.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
*shrugs*

I game too much, so my opinion is completely and truly biased.

Go ahead with your purchase, with the knowledge that a stoopid Dell XPS 14 can beat the shark out of a MacBook Air 13" for about 30% off. And I'm talking better processor, GPU and RAM. And you can buy a nice SSD for the price difference, and keep your old HDD in an external enclosure. And still have change for the spare battery.

Like I said, if you genuinely need something that Mac has to offer (like multimedia stuff), a Mac is good. But for any other reasons, a PC will serve you better. In fact, I have recommended Macs to two of my friends; a budding photographer and a musician. They loved it for what it can do that Windows couldn't

So my question still stands; do you NEED a Mac? Or do you buy it because you're an Apple tool?
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
First thing is recommend.... Wait until about July when the refresh comes out, it'll most likely have a sandybrige CPU meaning better performance and battery life, although they will probably remove the dedicated graphics card and use the onboard Intel 3000HD thing :D I have a macbook air from 2008 btw.. :p :D
[Off-topic] appmonk:
They are great little laptops, we had two at work.

This may be a problem that has been resolved now, but both had problems with the display hinge breaking. Apple repaired both of them without any problem, even though one was out of warranty.

I eventually got fed up with the small screen and got a 15 inch 'Pro'.

First of all, i'm not 12 years old. I'm not a gamer. Second, i don't care about the price. Some buys a Mercedes or BMW, and some nerds will buy a Kia, put 800 HK in it, and call it gods work. No, it's still a piece of **** that will crash and burn more often then Mr Sheen.

People like nice things, and people like stability. Not everyone likes a Alienware box that will melt within 3 minutes of use.

ok so this started this past week. I get an email and I read and delete it on my phone. later on, I go back in the gmail app and in the top left corner by "inbox" it says I have a new email, however I don't actually have a new email...when I check the gmail mobile site it shows the same email I read and deleted earlier, as unread and not deleted...

does anyone else experience this/know what I can do to fix it?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
uninstall the app and reinstall it from the market.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] CurtisLV:
So whenever i upload songs to my microSD card and then unplug phone from PC, the new-just uploaded songs become unusable. the default phone player just says "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" or just skips to next song. the same on doubleTwist player - just skips to the next song.

and in the list the song shows up just as unknown artist (as in picture) just with the file name written (the xx - crystalised), although all the ID3 tags are ok.

turboimagehost .com/p/6311626/snap20110308_010941.png.html (can't post a normal link since i'm still a newbie here)

also after plugging the phone back to PC and trying to play one of the just-uploaded songs from SD card, they seem to be corrupted, no player on pc can play them

WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM AND WHAT CAN I DO?

i have to mention that this started recently and songs uploaded before play just fine. also phone is rooted with zt4root, everything else is as stock as LG P500 comes.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Either ur sd card is wrecked or ur pc is infected with usb viruses and trojans...

What size files after you copy?

Try to check for bad sectors SD
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
maybe your audio libraries are screwed ..u cud try extracting files from a ROM's zip file and then replacing them on your phone using custom recovery and adb..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CurtisLV:
Checked the card with built in Win7 checker, no bad sectors.

Could just restoring the firmware or dropping phone to factory setting help, cuz i'm hardcore newbie and i'm also really unfamiliar with flashing/ROM's/custom recovery. (and to clarify - haven't done anything to phone, except rooting)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
My suggestion:

- go to Settings - SD card & phone storage - enable "Mass storage only".

- connect the phone to a different computer, one that has never seen your phone before. The mass storage mode should allow you to access the memory card, no LG drivers required.

- copy some files you want to test, check if they're OK. Post results.

Always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" procedure to unmount the SD card from the PC.

radio 26.03.02.26m

emmc-boot

sep 2 2010, 17:59:38

is there anything i should change?

only reason i ask is cause i have bricked a phone before and i think it was due to wrong hboot/radio combo (mt3g 1.0)

btw i rooted via rage root temp and gfree method

all help/tips is appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hispeedworm:
8. Install the engineering hboot (if you really want to)

8.1. download engineering hboot

Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:

T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)

HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)

HTC Desire HD: ace_glacier.hboot-0.85.2007.zip (md5sum df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6)

Note that the md5sums are for the actual hboot img contained within the zip file, not the for the zip file itself. Note also that the dz, g2, and dhd each use their own version of the engineering boot, as the phones are partitioned differently. (If you have previously installed the wrong HBOOT for your phone, you may need to reflash everything after partition 18)

8.2. Copy the files to the phone

Connect the phone to the USB of your PC. The phone will stay connected during the complete procedure.

Make sure that you do NOT turn on USB storage. There has to be a sdcard in the phone and it has to be mounted to the phone!

Unpack the engineering hboot zip files to a directory on your PC.

Open a terminal (or command window) on your PC and change the current directory to where the file is on your PC and execute these commands:

$ adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/

8.3. Install the engineering hboot

Please make sure that you type or better copy/paste the following commands exactly, and in exactly this order. Especially the dd-command is very critical!

In the terminal (or command window) on your PC execute these commands:

$ adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

# sync

8.3.1. Check the md5sums of the installed hboot

As it is very important that the hboot was installed correctly we recommend to check the md5sums of the partition. In the root shell (indicated by the #) that you got in the Temporary root section execute the following commands:

# /system/xbin/busybox md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot-eng.img

# /system/xbin/busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

We call these two md5_1 and md5_2 in the next section

If md5_2 does not match md5_1: First DON'T REBOOT and second run for help at the #G2ROOT IRC channel on freenode.

If md5_2 matches md5_1: You are fine, Reboot your phone by executing the following command in the root shell (indicated by the #):

# reboot

Put battery back in and as you do take your finger off JUST the power button.

It's the boot loader. The only way to get it working again is with a jtag (not a jig). The average repair shop will charge around $50, but they may not be able to fix the hardware lock still.

So, I tried to load Gingerbread and now all I hear now is Linda's annoying voice before it goes to a Kernel Panic.

I have tried using ODIN and Heimdall with no success.

Heimdall just returns a "fail" after about 4 seconds.

Odin3 1.7 returns a "SetupConnection..." and never proceeds.

Some notes to add as I feel these will answer most initial questions.

I am in Download mode (android character digging)

I made sure I had the drivers that came with Heimdall installed when tryign heimdall, and when using ODIN I had the Samsung Galaxy S drivers installed.

I have tried this on multiple computers with the same results.

First w/ a Windows 7 64-bit and the second was a Windows XP 32-bit

Any ideas why it is hanging up?

Any ideas what to try next?

All input is greatly appreciated and I just want to thank anyone who responds in advance for their advice.

Why would you hear Linda?

You never got to flash Gingerbread I'm guessing.

Go into download mode and try connecting to Odin. Pull the plug, then battery. Pop it back in and you should see a phone!pc icon. Plug in the USB and maybe Odin will recognize it.

This has worked for me before when Odin wouldn't recognize my device.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warden xvx:
Tried your suggestion but no difference in results.

I will setup a VM with Ubuntu and give it a shot. Do you have any download links for the software for Ubuntu?

So, I did install Gingerbread, and I must have messed something up. I was upgrading from Eugene's Unofficial Froyo release. I downloaded the beta from whitehawk, put it on my sdcard, went into recover mode and attempted to install after backing up. After the rainbow screen I got a Kernel Panic screen, waited about 20 minutes just to see what would happen, naturally nothing. I restarted the phone. I get the Vibrant logo, then rainbows, annoying Linda's voice then the Kernel Panic Upload Mode. My assumption is the mistake I made was not having the right kernel, but now its a matter of trying to recover the phone.
