Why is it a deal breaker for people that it doesn't have internal memory? I can buy a 16 gb sd at a local radio shack for under $20. And a 32gb for under $50.

Is it speed of internal vs sd?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
A couple of things make it problematic if you aren't an advanced user. In the discussion that follows, I'm talking about that user, not one with a rooted phone, a linking utility, a mounting utility, and a replacement USB utility.

While Froyo does have native support for moving apps to the SD card, it is only those apps that the developer "flagged" as eligible. Unfortunately, there are a large number that can't be moved. Some that I have run across that are of significant size include:

Google Maps

Android Market

Cisco WebEx

Amazon

USAA

Southwest Airlines

Photoshop

Mail of various flavors (including, I believe, your mailboxes)

XDA app, of all things! ;)

The first two are especially annoying as, I believe, you end up with two copies of each; one from the factory build, and one from updates -- totaling about 30 MB in this case.

I am religious about moving everything I can to the SD card and I filled up my 150 MB in under two weeks, without really trying (Yes, Angry Birds installs to SD so that wasn't it).

The second issue is that these are microSD cards, which are a bit more expensive and slower than SD cards. While you can buy a 16 GB Class 10 (regular) SD card for about $27 today, the microSD cards presently available are slower (Class 6, at best) and more expensive, at about $55 for 16 GB. 32 GB microSD cards are just hitting the market, and not widely available at this time, especially with Class 6 speeds.

As for the relative speeds of internal vs. microSD, it would have depended on several factors including things like how the memory is "attached" to the CPU and what speed memory they chose to use, so it's really hard to say.

This has been the one point that has made me thought about returning my phone. But with an apps2sd app popping up and moving all,my apps after install...i guess I can deal for now!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] slipin3:
I love this phone. It was an upgrade for me as I came from a touch pro2 with simplicity rom. And that phone was sweet.i wish I would have known about the super small internal space. Yes I have put most of my apps on my sd card but some dont run as smooth as they did when they were on the phone storage. Its kind if wack that they eather hid the space or just not gave us much to work with as with most power users we have many tools we use and 200megs or so will not cut it. Im looking into myself on how to get more space even if ts just 2gb! As this is my first android device and learning everyday.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
You can get the fota fix from here. I used root explorer to add the files and it free'd up 250MB after a restart to give me a total of 357MB and i have about 20 app's/games installed. Never thought i'd be so happy to get 250MB of space LOL

Today i was tinkering around with the "du -h" command on the device terminal and at the end the end it reads i'll write the last few lines

0 ./sys/module/bthid

0 ./sys/module

0 ./sys/block

0 ./sys

2.4g .

so my question is, is the "." the hole internal system or another partition or lost space or what? i know / root (duh) but what is "."? oh and for those who dont know what the command "du" is it will print a disk usage report on all your files and "-h" is for it to be human readable. :) this is from a learning noob. :) :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Typically one executes du with a specific directory. It looks like busybox takes the current directory as a default.

"." on Unix systems refers to "this directory"

Im sort of new to this.. but, REALLY!?!?!?!?!? You'll donate IF someone comes up with X, Y or Z... Do you realize the sheer amount of time, energy, and on occasion money, that some of these guys put into some of the things you guys take for granted? Imagine If I came to your workplace and told you that.. this week, rather than getting paid to show up and simply do your job, ill pay you WHEN you do task A, and next week, ill pay you WHEN you accomplish task B... You might think it's motivating at first.. but what happens when I dont follow through in week 10.. when it's all empty promises just to motivate you to do more..

Dont ****ing tell these guys you'll donate when they solve a problem... Donate, or dont.. there is no need to promise money if/when they accomplish the **** you cant even imagine...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Hi, If I'm setting up Linux for Android dev should I use the 32bit or 64 bit version? I read somewhere that if I want to dev for Froyo it's 32 bit if I want GB or higher use 64bit. If I use 64bit can I still do Froyo stuff as well or am I only limited to building for Froyo? I'm finally getting into the world of linux after being a winblows programmer for years. So if there is any other place you guys know with a lot of good info on the topic of getting started please let me know. I already found http://source.android.com/source/download.html

I went through setting everything up but I did it on a 32 bit install of Ubuntu. Is it advised that I have 64 installed instead of 32? I got up to the point to make a make but it gave me some error about being on a 32 bit machine and only being able to build for froyo, that's when I thought maybe I should have installed the 64 bit version on ubuntu

blockbuster app working on unrooted 1.2.6

Hi i was actually i think the first to the the blockbuster app working on my Atrix. i was on stock 1.2.6 unrooted and i was able to watch ondemand blockbuster movies, they sent me 3 $5 credits twords future rentals, used one to try it out and worked great, signing up on the actual site was kinda confusing but not that bad. but back to the point, i just today used the gladix program, to root, and now it says it says "detected device rooted" cannot play certian types of video(dont know what that is , or means). havent tried renting yet with root.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] artbytes:
Can't download movies if are rooted - we think

I think that if the Blockbuster site detects that you have rooted your phone, it won't allow you to download the movies. I read about someone who rooted and then unrooted before the first update, and Blockbuster still gave him that message. Movies would not download. However, after this 2nd update for the Atrix software, he no longer got that message, and the movies did download. He wasn't rooted again, though.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] artbytes:
Movies don't play over HDMI cable?

I'm not rooted and did download a movie from Blockbuster to try it out. Rather than watch in on my phone, though, I wanted to use the HDMI cable to watch it on the TV screen. However, I got an error message and the movie would not play.

Has anyone else experienced this? Are they only allowing the viewing on the handset itself?

That doesn't seem fair, if you paid for the movie. What is the HDMI cable for, anyway? If I download a movie to my computer, I can use an HDMI cable to show the movie on the TV. Shouldn't this be the same?

Hi! New to Desire Forum...

I have got an Desire from an friend because its not booting anymore. It just shows the green htc logo.

If i go into the bootmenu and select recovery it just vibrates and still shows me the htc logo.

Since im new to HTC - i have no idea what i can try next.

I was sending it to HTC but they told me it was an Vodafone branded Phone and Vodafone is in charge of repair. But the funny thing is that vodafone says they are only responsible for the one that boight the phone. And since he got it from ebay... U know what i mean...

So anyone can help me here?

You can try these steps:

1. Download the stock rom from this site http://www.shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe

2. Boot your phone into bootloader and then select fastboot.

3. Run the file on your pc.

If this does not fix it your have a problem.

[G Tablet Accessories] boots77:
Hello all,

I purchased an M1 Official Malata Case for my Gtab. I ordered it from it2steve, received it yesterday and it looks and fits great.

One problem...

It now seems that my screen is less responsive. I specifically notice it around the corners and around the right edge (same edge as home keys). Its becoming a problem with ADW as it is difficult to hit the onscreen button to open the program launcher and difficult to hit the Home button located at the top taskbar.

When I take the tablet out of the case there does not seem to be a problem. I have tried recalibrating using the took by gojimi and it does not seem to make a difference. I also have a Skinomi screen protector on, which I do feel had reduced the response already slightly, but it is now much worse with the case. I am also running Vegan 5.11.

Let me know what you think.
[G Tablet Accessories] xjarl:
Maybe,Magnet will affect the capacitive touch screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] dsholler:
I have noticed that the right hand side of my screen is a bit less sensitive than the left, but I had not associated that with the use of the case. (I have an m1 case as well). I also remember this being mentioned in another forum by a frequent contributor here.. (the lack of sensitivity, not its associated with the case).

It is a bit annoying to have to hit a button twice (and sometimes messes me up in angry birds) but it is not that severe in my case.

Dan
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I too have chimed in on a couple of these posts adn I origionally thought it was the case as well, as it just seemed to be in the upper right hand corner. However I still have that issue and noticed last week (when I actually started typing more) that I was having an issue with anothe spot, right around my 'A' key.

I know that this has nothing to do with magnets or the edges of the case as now I'm playing around in the CLIP. I use Gojimi's calibration app but I'm personally leaning more to 'it doesn't like to wake up properly' as it seems to go away when I reboot?
[G Tablet Accessories] junks2010:
I am pretty sure this is because of the case (to be precise, it is the part that wrap around and infront of the tablet)case.

I have an apad case and had the same problem. My tab has no problem outside of the case.

To solve the problem, I had to cut out the leather part that wrap around the tab and use a piece of velcro to keep the tab inside the case. I had no prolem now.
[G Tablet Accessories] dsholler:
I am with you steve, that A key gets messed up.. and it does appear to be software, because it appears (my subjective opinion) that you can improve the sensitivity by doing simple things like hiding and exposing the keyboard. It also seems to be different depending on what you are doing.. for example, you would think that if it were a dead spot on the touchscreen, it would interfere with typing when you held it vertically, but it does not seem to.

BTW, is the clip case any good? I am debating whether to buy a dock from you :)

Dan
[G Tablet Accessories] persichini:
Maybe its just me but since i've received my M1... which i love. My touch screen seems too sensitive... i'm click stuff when its suppose to be scrolling... I'm going to say its not the case... Because my is doing the exact opposite.

on a side note when i originally got my gtab sensitivity was awful... i switched to the gingerbread rom and it seemed to fix itself.
[G Tablet Accessories] boots77:
All the more reason for making the switch once it pops into Beta!
[G Tablet Accessories] jhermit:
I have one of the M1 cases and the Skinomi screen protector and just did some tests with and without the case. I can not discern any difference at all when the case is on.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
The main problem is that your fingertip is less compatible than your finger pad due to calluses, etc... With the case on you cannot get a clean shot at the extreme most corners. You can only hit it with your fingertip. This will vary by person. A construction worker will have a harder time than a surgeon. When you take it out of the case, you are hitting the area square with your whole pad.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Is anybody else still experiencing this with the M1 case? I'm trying to decide between the M1, P3 and the Clip and decreased screen response would be a huge deal breaker for me.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
Did you read my response? It is not the case.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Yea, I did but not sure I totally follow what you're saying. Why would a person use only fingertips with a case as opposed to their whole finger pad without one?
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
The case is not flush against the device. On the edges where it covers the screen there is an ever-so-slight upward curve (just the nature of dealing with this material). So, when you try to press the edge of the screen where it meets the edge of the case your finger is partially blocked by the case. That means that sometimes only the tip of your finger makes contact and sometimes that is not enough to trigger the action you desire. So, I think people were experiencing this occasional malfunction and blaming it on the case. The case is sort-of to blame, but it does not reduce screen sensitivity.

Do that make more sense?
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Yea, I think I got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Maybe I'll opt for the Clip since it doesn't seem to cover any of the screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
I am looking to do the same, eventually. However, even if I didn't buy the M1, I still can't justify $50 for a case. That is almost the price of 2 M1's.
[G Tablet Accessories] bso44:
Yea, the price is making me think twice about it.
