I hear this a lot, and at times I agree with you. However, what's stopping you from just plugging in an external battery pack every once in a while? I've been debating getting an extra battery for my s4, and I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna stick with an external battery pack instead, just...

System update downloaded? Is anyone else getting this message? "System Update Downloaded, touch to install"

It wasn't me that asked the question, haha. I was just following the thread. Thanks for the clarification though!

Sorry, what? I don't understand your answer, could you please clarify?

My post about this never received much attention in the GS4 forums, so here's nothing: I have not tried this fix yet, but I have an observation to make. With no effects on, no lockscreen widgets, etc, the lag from pressing the power button to the lockscreen actually showing is around 2-3...

I really didn't mean to submit that yet haha. Let's start from where I left off. ...I.e. The phone goes straight to the home screen. There is absolutely no lag from waking up, so I'm not convinced by the wake lock deep sleep argument. Let me know what you guys think Sent from my...

So when the phone wakes up there is very noticeable lag when going to the lock screen. I have 1 lock screen widget, dashclock, and have turned off swipe effects, etc. The surprising thing to me is that if you completely turn off the lock screen, I.e. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda...

MD5 Is there an MD5 we can compare the kernel download with? I am getting bootloops after flashing 004m jflteatt, and I'm pretty sure it's because of download size

I'm trying to find a solution to getting my headphones with inline mic input to work on my macbook pro. music/sound output works fine but mic input does not. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for correcting me, for some reason I thought that the Verge did use their standardized test. I guess it's unfortunate that the reviews are just posted ASAP to generate more pageviews. I think for a good battery test we should wait for the Anandtech Review. Does anyone know if Engadget did...

We need standardized results Guys, asking about daily usage battery life doesn't really help anyone. Everyone's usage will be different, so each persons mileage may vary. What we need are standardized battery life tests across numerous devices in order to make a fair and unbiased comparison...

I like how it tapers just like the macbook pros. Not as much as the Air (cause that would just feel weird in your hand) but tapering to a thinner edge. It provides that super-thin illusion. But it's just that, an illusion. Which kind of pisses me off. Looking at other designs, it seems that HTC...

I believe that Apple was sue-happy when Jobs was in power, but Tim Cook is pretty against it. It doesn't seem like the HTC One really infringes on Apple design patents, but I'm not an IP lawyer, so...

The problem I have with ASUS laptops is that their touchpads were always so finicky. Although, I really do want one of their touchscreen ultrabooks. My rMBP is pretty good in terms of performance and battery life, plus the screen is downright gorgeous.

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. For that, I apologize. I meant that it would be cool if Apple kept design cues across its own entire line, not between separate companies' products.

I was reading a review of the HTC One (I know, I'm behind) and I came to the realization that the design of the HTC One nicely matches the design of my Retina Macbook Pro. It has the same white aluminum design, speaker grilles are the same type, and white accents match the ports and other white...

So which phone So I understand the views most developers have towards Samsung. My questions are: Which phone manufacturer do developers here like the most? Which phones will get the most support for the next year or so from both developers and manufacturers? Also, I was under the assumption...

What about those motorola factory cables? I forget what they're called now, but I believe they allowed the phone to be turned on without a battery, running off straight AC.

Other tegra2 phones do indeed have the 2.x kernels, but how many of them are on ICS? Also, which ones are the AP20H vs the T25 vs whichever other variations of the Tegra2 SoCs out there?

I really wish I could remember where I read exactly what the problems were. I spent some time delving through the kernel port thread in the hopes I would find where I read about it, but to no avail. Maybe I'm restating what I said earlier, but I was under the impression that the kernel version...

Here's my take on the situation. The Gingerbread kernel is based off of version 2.6.32.60. In order to update the drivers/kernel to support each other, they need an updated kernel, I believe 3.1.10. I know the version change from 2-3 is minor, but as far as I am aware updating kernels requires...

I don't want to be that guy, but these sorts of things are being ignorant of the search bar. This has been discussed before, and the final verdict on the Optimus 2x is that they are using an updated kernel version, so we can't just port back and forth as we please. The other factor is that...

More specifically, I think they are trying to implement adbusb support (or whatever it is called) in the kernel so the already booting kernel can be accessed through usb.

Agreed. It seems like as long as we have the right location and pins, it would work. I believe someone got it working with the Captivate a while back.

I don't quite remember, but if the major issue was find kernel sources from 2.6.39.4, this is it. However, I think the hurdle now is obtaining all of the hardware ID (generalizing here) to make it compatible with a kernel such as that. Also, are we entirely sure the O2X chip is the same as the...

i'm talking about the ICSROM,but thanks for letting me know.

fastboot? Have you tried flashing a recovery.img file through moto-fastboot?

forcing Edge? I just wanted to confirm, you can't force the phone to only use 2G if you are on .37 radio, but you can if you are on the .100R?

any luck?

Thank you very much for your help. I think that I will try a newer version of CM9 and CM7 to determine if the performance issues are lasting.

random hanging of CM7 I couldn't find anyone else with this problem, so I'm assuming it is my SD card, but hear me out. I have the dual boot set up between cm9 and cm7, and cm9 (emmc) runs fine. However, cm7 pauses at least once every 5 minutes when doing any complicated task. If I am on...

A friend and I splurged on the $60 iFixit tool kit because we made some spare cash on the side repairing classmates' phones. It works well, although I still don't know if I would justify the price. It seems that the major complaint on reviews for replacement electronics parts are the parts that...

So is there a general assumption that overheating is causing the radios on the Atrix to malfunction? Because that seems to be the case for me every once in a while, but I had originally thought it was the university wifi.

The Krait CPU in the dual core version is actually super competitive with the Tegra3 quad core version, so if it is slower than the Atrix, more power to the developers!

I just wish the OS scaled better for the higher resolution of the laptop dock, but it's a minor inconvenience. The major inconvenience for me is that it likes to reboot once it stays idle while on the lapdock for longer than 10 minutes, but that might be due to undervolting.

wakelocks? I seem to be getting horrid battery life, something is keeping my phone awake. I'm going to try and figure it out, but I did notice that bluesleep was awake for a bit. I thought that was only a CM9 problem... I'll report back after I try and figure it out

The Photon has a full RGB screen, so it actually looks a bit better compared to our Pentile. But in pretty much everything else the Atrix wins, albeit by a small margin since they're essentially the same phones.

how to resign? I decided to install signapktic to resign the app, but had a couple of questions. You say to sign using signature of my system. That is not the testkey, correct? So how would I obtain the signature of my system? Also, do I sign both apps or just the mirrorresolution.apk? I also...

Okay, so as I understand it (I'm still trying to figure this stuff out) dvfs is a feature that is fairly standard, but by having a hardware solution to this you can bypass the software? I feel like I'm completely off, but if that is the case, then does this mean that the implementation of UV on...

I just found this on xda's homepage: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/in-depth-nexus-s-battery-study-brings-about-surprising-conclusions/ Apparently, undervolting on nexus s kernels did not increase battery life. I would expect different since lowering voltage should reduce the amount of...

False. The makers of raspberry pi spent a whole lot of time optimizing the software for the broadcom soc inside of it. Apparently in some benchmarks it doubles the performance of tegra2. Ill try and link to a source when I get home.

Just so nobody is discouraged, it doesn't just work on cm7, it also works on blur based roms, at least for the wetdream 1.4.3 ROM. Just letting everyone else know.

resolution hdmi mirror On the Blur mirroring, the resolution is not actually changed. Did this change on the CM7 builds? Just curious, before I actually try to flash it myself. Also, a bit off topic, but I'm thinking of reading up on how kernels work in my free time a couple of weeks from now.

Hrm...I tried to run asphalt with stock and faux kernel, and neither worked without the square trees. I'll try the free version of riptide to make sure. EDIT: just realized that there is no free version of riptide. Well, some game that has that problem for others.

That's a problem with gingerbread on our phones in general. If you were to try a froyo-based ROM GTAIII, RiptideGP and Asphalt would all work perfect. But don't try to flash gingerblur or something like that, because I doubt it'll still work.

I was thinking about that, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a thd game?

I tried finding the thread that mentioned this, but without any luck. When I run asphalt 6, the trees especially look like drawings of a tree on square pieces of paper, without any real depth. I know this is a gingerbread issue, and has been recorded elsewhere, but I could not find it (search...

Same. I repaired a friend's digitizer very easily and very cheaply. The hardest part was aligning everything correctly. Not to mention that my friend tried to do it on his own, and failed miserably, cutting the flex cable and digitizer cable in doing so.

Care to elaborate? I searched and found a thread that you started, and someone did in fact get it working, but is the procedure the same for webtop2sd as it is for debian?

It has. You should probably check the branch more often. Latest update to it was 2 days ago.
