hi to all developers and gamers all over the world
its very very nice to have a pc hardware on xda. thanks.
guys i have a problem. recently i bought a second hand ddr3 ram (gskill sniper, 1600mhz) for a 1333mhz capable mainboard.
the thing is that when i insert the new ram into mobo it starts fine, but when booting to windows i get bsod's of 0x19, 0x7E, 0x01 and one more, i forget (edit: its 0x1a). i cant even get it into windows memory diagnostic or memtest86+ and i cant boot anything. but when i insert old ram (1333), the computer's working fine.
any help appreciated.
have a nice day.
a screenshot from memtest86+ and a pic of old vs new ram
notice the black spots on the screenshot

I had broken ram in my PC a while ago.
The higher requency shouldn't be a problem, just don't overclock it.( try underclocking it)
What motherboard are you using?

im not overclocking anything
it is an asboard h55 mobile with intel core i5-520m
i discovered that i can send it back and have a refund, so that is also an option.
thanks for reply, cya

if you are using this motherboard, the it is compatible (http://www.asrock.com/mb/memory/H55M.pdf)
so the only other option is that the RAM or mb are broken

Is there any reason why you're using mixed pairs of RAM in your system? That can give you loads of instability.

lm not using them both
the problem is that the gskill alone is not working
now im looking to return it
Sent from my Lenovo Vibe K5 using XDA Labs
I'd definitely look at RMA or returns, especially if the other memory is working fine.
If neither is working and you're still seeing artifacts (those black spots) that suggests it might be the motherboard or CPU.
ok, so i just made a test run with all drives unplugged, and the issue presists. my conclusion is that mobo is incompatible and i should return it. whats your opinion guys?
edit: ive already sent it for refund. i will continue this thread as i will buy another stick, thanks to every one who helped me. stay tuned:good:

Would agree. If you still have issues with whatever you choose to replace it with, let us know!
okay, well, i got a new ram, everything seems fine with memtest.
***********the conclusion of this thread***********
if your RAM doesn't work for you, you'd better return it right away and buy another one.
Edit: if you installed a 2.nd identical module and system does not boot, you might need to clear cmos.
thanks for everyone involved.

Optimus One OS Upgrade
LG will upgrade all Optimus One smartphones currently using the Froyo OS to the next version of the Android OS, Gingerbread. Details of the upgrade schedule will be announced locally in due course. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and misunderstanding that was caused regarding this issue.

so my question is... will all the existing ROMS and ports and some tweaks work on Gingerbread?
or just installing Gingerbread alone will make a better over all improvement of O1?

Hope the official update gets rid of that annoying LGMITS error and the SD card which randomly becomes unrecognized.
I also heard that Gingerbread should make power consumption more efficient compared to froyo (apparently the price to pay for being snappier than eclair).
Great news indeed.

Yeah, that LGMITS error. It annoyed me for a while, but suddenly it stopped popping up on my screen. Weird.
So you mean power consumption compensates for the touchscreen's accuracy? I just knew that now, seriously LOL. Hopefully that isn't the case with "our" Gingerbread update.
This just made my day ^____^ Guess I'll postpone using a custom ROM until Gingerbread.
Hope I made a right choice to choose OT.
Other than AWS and wifi calling support, I'd like to see flash support on future 2.3 update.
I thought there's already a Flash support for Optimus One....?

I emailed LG Romania Support today and the answer was: "the P500 can't be upgraded to gingerbread because the processor and the memory will not allow runing the 2.3 version" )) So if LG Romania doesn't even know that their phone can be upgraded to 2.3 than they surely don't know when will this be possible
They are complete morons. Because of the memory ? This device has 512 mb, same as Nexus S, same as Desire, Nexus One, Galaxy S, all high-end devices.
I'm 100% positive that the upgrade will be released !

Will this update fix the sd card problem?
what's wrong with the sd card? i never had any problems with it.
I'm having trouble detecting the sd card.
I inserted a sandisk 4gb class 4 and my phone didn't recognized it (i got the 'SD card removed. Insert a new one.' notification). Then, i inserted back the original 2gb sd card from the box, but that notification is still there and it can't be recognized. But both my PC and a another android device (a galaxy tab) can detect it. So, i tried formatting both the 4gb and the original 2gb with the galaxy tab and inserted it to my O1 but nothing has changed. I tried updating to the official V10E firmware but it makes no differences. Any help please?

Hi, i read Sony Ericsson Xperia X10´s display is limited at 65k colours by Android 1.6. They told, X10´s LCD supports 16M colours. Is there any kernel, or software to fix it? Thanks a lot for any answer
Not at this moment
Why would you still be on 1.6? Official 2.1 is available for everyone and we have custom 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. Dev's are working on custom kernal to achieve 16m colors but its still in development.

Thanks for answer. I don´t have X10i yet, but i will buy it for few days - in specifications it was strange this equipped phone had only 65k, if you could send a link of developing that kernel, it would be good.

Its better you buy an Arc,it is far better than X10 concerning Display,screen size and the camera.
It´s too much expensive, X10i is almost half the price and it´s almost the same.
Please, write here your experience with display quality, rating x/10...
It will help me with deciding, thanks.

X10i is my first ever android phone. The touch response is slow, the dual touch is dumb and unstable, and the dreaded 30fps cap. but besides that everything is great... the 8.1 MP camera is great but no flash. Display quality is good. 854 x 480 res. hdpi ftw. Gets really laggy on stock ROM over time (too many useless apps) . The hardware on this phone is totally limited by the software. Im hoping the GB update is going to boost this baby up a notch since I just had this for like 2 months. I wont be getting an arc or play in 2 years. lol

Tbh the phone isn't as bad as some reviews make it out to be. I find it is good for me although it can get slow over time, especially on the stock firmware, it really f's up the phone. But once you find which custom rom works best for you, the phone improves a lot as the hardware is good I am very happy with the phone

Yes Custom roms are like the steroids for the X10, but let us not forget the warranty. since he was gonna buy a new one. Rooting does void the warranty. I voided mine 2 weeks after purchase. Ever since then, been flashing roms back and forth like crazy. lol
After voiding you could just flash back to your origimal firmware

has anyone rooted the acer iconia tab a110 4.1.2 update yet? if so how? i already had the 4.1.1 rooted with the universal root tool v17
I get the feeling, we're not going to get a thread of our own. Sad to see such a powerful device avoided. I've owned a Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 2 7", and many others. None of them compare to this tab. The Nexus 7 has major screen issues and no sd card is a no no. The tab 2 7" is extremely laggy, and Samsung is taking years to release JB. This tablet combines everything I need, Just wish it had more dev support.
New year is coming lets just cross our fingers and hope for the best for the sake of our Iconia tab A110. lol =)

Would really love to see a section dedicated to this device. I just bought it today, I wasn't able to buy a nexus 7 (being out of stock everywhere). First impression, it is such a great device! I am very impressed
I just bought the A110 as well and am very very impressed with it. I would love to see a dedicated thread to this beast.

This tab is an amazing device. I've had mine for about three weeks and have not found anything that I don't like about it less the fact that it has not been rooted. Everything just works! The build quality is solid and sleek, the OS is super smooth, this Tab handles everything I throw at it with NO hiccups whatsoever, from running multiple apps concurrently, playing graphic demanding games, watching hd movies and videos, reading books, acceptable battery life, HDMI port and expandable memory. The speaker is above average for a tablet, music sounds quite good at high levels with no distortion. Phone calls and Push to Talk are great over WiFi and having this tab tethered to my Epic Touch 4g means it goes everywhere I go. After using it for thee weeks I think the price has already been justified and I believe it is worth every penny I paid for it. Bottom line; the stock A110 has exceeded my expectations for being a so called " budget tablet " and this device deserves some ATTENTION in the device forum and some serious dev support so we can unleash the A110's inner-BEAST!

I agree with you 100% I just bought this device a couple days ago and I am in love. We need a a forum for this device !
I would agee that this device is amazing. Picked one up yesterday on sale for 148.00 at my local walmart. I was set on picking up a nexus 7 but since this was on sale for over 100 dollars less then the cheapest nexus I could find around here which was the 32gb version at 269 I couldn't pass it up and must say I'm very impressed. But would love to be able to root it.
As an update I am now successfully rooted on 4.1.1 using this tool. androidforums .com/iconia-tab-a110-all-things-root/662108-acer-a110-rooting-tool.html won't be updating any time soon.
Working on a custom recovery for this device. Stay tuned

Great to hear that work is being done one this great device. I would be willing to beta test if it helps the cause!
Great to see someone working on this impressing device. I would like it can be root soon.
Ditto you can count me in on that as well. My tablet has just informed me that he or she? is willing to donate it's bootloader, firmware and recovery in the name of science in hopes of finding a cure to this rare epidemic and hopefully one day all A110's can be booted with an insecure image so they can receive proper custom rom treatment and begin to live a normal healthy life........
PS
My A110 is experiencing frequent notifications in its task bar and has been offered an update several times. At this time we would rather not want to go that route......
My A110's vital signs are as follows:
Android= 4.1.1
Kernel= 3.1.10

Definitely keeping an eye on this. Seems the bootloader is easily unlocked, on this device; has anyone tried re-locking the BL, or is it a one way operation?
I'm really surprised this device hasn't had much attention, it runs extremely well with that T3! I made the unfortunate mistake of updating out of the box, from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2... Meh!
Best of luck, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread with my fingers crossed

Try install antutu,you can see your phone spec in the system info.
Regarding the battery,imho,no software can determine real capacity,they only use interpolation from usage and prior setting.
Kernel and rom,are you rooted?
Be careful,don't mess them unless you know.
Kernel only can alter if you have source (unless you brave enough to build from scratch )
Rom,if you didn't touch it yet,it must be stock
What else,ram,it is normal not getting full 1gig,but it is not normal to reach 800mb in lean state.
Try to chack available ram soon after your phone started.
Normally arround 900ish
My suggest for you,china ohone is okay these days,but try to read/search prior order,so these question will get answered before you buy it
Enjoy

No replies... how unexpected... it's best to search some references before ordering on a random website... you wouldn't buy at a shady phone store, so why at a shady website?
As far as I see, there's not gonna be a refund. Guess you'll have to settle with what you have and save some money for a new one, or get a lawyer and go to court.

Well, guess you'll never hear from them again. Their paypal account is probably empty, so cashback is not an option. I know people like that... if the paper trail is long enough, no one will follow it.
So, you made a bad call by buying this. Better luck next time!

frankly its your fault for buying a fake phone, next time buy from the manufacturer and respected resellers only
Hey good News friends!
After couple mails that they didnt answer me i open a case in paypal and hocus pocus!
guess what, they sent me replay that they accepte for a refund or a replace,
so my question is if i decide to take another phone, it is possible to backup all the apps and contacts and restore it to diffrent device?
for exemple I make a backup of HTC and want to move it to Samsung, possible?
Depends on what you see as a backup. The APK can be backed up with free tools, for the rest you'll need root and a paid tool like rom toolbox pro.

Just chalk it up and take it as a lost.
hdc, htc, zopo,
i sent it back today by EMS shipping (because i need it fast) i travel to mexico
i chose the ZOPO 300+ instead, the ZOPO are fine right?
I am looking for a device mainly as a VOIP device. I can get a Galaxy samsung S for around 70-100 around here average from craigslist but was also considering a player 4.0 or 5.0 - problem is the 4.0s go for a little bit more (right now I have a guy willing sell me his mint one for $85). However, I've seen the 5.0 for around 120-150 refurbished or like new used and really like 5" screen. What would you guys do?

No one?!
Do you also want to use it in long trips or for GPS? If then the extra battery capacity from the galaxy player 5 suits the needs. Because honestly all of the following works perfectly well for a VOIP. Also if you are looking for development support from XDA you might consider the galaxy s. I would personally get the galaxy s because of the better custom roms and the capability of using a backup battery, which a player 5 cannot do

Hi,
I have a Tmobile HD7 windows phone also that has GREAT GPS. I found a couple Samsung Capitivate and Fascinates for around 50-60.... yeah I'm tempted for them cuz ill probably be tethering it.... the main thing is that the player 5 has the big screen haha.... yeah but im leaning towards a used Galaxy S.
Thanks!

The Galaxy Player 4.0 is based on the Galaxy S1 so I'd go with the S1 because there are way more devs for it. Spec vs Spec the only thing in favor of the GP 4.0 is that it has duel stereo speakers and that's about it lol. The S1 has a much better screen and better camera. Now the 5.0 is a little different. It has of course the Screen Size, LED Flash, and a much bigger battery. Also it has a bit more devs, however it's screen is actually worse than the 4.0's and it uses a Yamaha DAC so it's sound quality isn't as nice as the GP4.0/S1 (whom use the same DAC). So like I said go for the S1 and be careful shopping on craiglist.
5.0 is worth it with reservations - old rom and no updates

hi
I've already bought a 5.0 from new and overall I'm reasonably impressed. It's a good vivid player with all the flexibility of Android to boot and a microSD card slot!.
I decided to purchase a separate music device rather than run my phone that way to avoid running my battery down...
However I would warn you that for the UK version that I bought, it seems to be stuck running Android 2.2.2 with no sign of an update any time this century. It's starting to be restrictive with regards to apps. Furthermore although some will tell you "just root it and update the rom"...I've yet to see a simple (for a noob) rooting process and set of roots that would at least match the stability of the stock version for the 5.0/4.0.
I've searched the fora and there's a lot of info to digest....
Did you try superoneclick?

Just some food for thought. I noticed that the Galaxy Player line is no longer available to buy, brand new, from Amazon (only third party sellers) and that Best Buy shows any of the players as "not available for shipping". I was curious what was going on and begin to find that it is possible the Galaxy Player line is being entirely discontinued. I hated to hear this, but think it is important to keep in mind as Dev support could become continuously smaller - it isn't large by any means at the moment.
If you are okay with the possibility of no support outside of forums, I would say to go for it. They are great devices as media players and even a type of 'wifi only' phone. Good luck with your decision!

Good choice you should be careful buying a used galaxy though. They are notorious for the power button breaking. There's a workaround however by installing an app where you can turn it on with a volume button.

I've just bought a 5.0 (typing from it now) and because I'm in the UK it came with 2.2.2 and I can't update to gingerbread automatically, everything is working fine is there any significant changes updating to gingerbread?

They are still available on Amazon UK:

I looked up kies mini and it seems they are device specific, I've installed kies regular and it says I'm on the latest firmware already.
I know I could try updating to 2.3 with Odin, and from what I understand that would be to the stock 2.3.5 that the US 5.0 Wi-Fi comes with. This is how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EYjIyVXRGM
I just don't know if it might break something, is there a big improvement to updating to gingerbread? Like how is the performance?

uninstall Kies regular and try Kies mini. mini upgrades basically all the galaxy s products so it's safe to assume that it would work on the gp. plus it was mentioned by Samsung themselves in order to upgrade the galaxy players.
gingerbread is not exactly a huge improvement in terms of performance, but it gets way better app compatibility. for example you don't need to root your gp if you want to use the power button alternative if the button ever breaks. and it's a more appealing to the buyer's eyes.
um... that's all the differences I know of

I've just given it a go and kies mini isn't recognizing the device, if I connect it in mass storage mode it tells me to reconnect in kies mode, when I do that it just sits there completely unaware I have even plugged it in, while the computer makes the 'connect' sound followed shortly afterwards by the 'disconnect' sound.
Thanks for your help anyway :thumbup:

Ok. Well.......I might be beating a dead horse or something right now, but did you try installing the separate samsung drivers as well? They are on the Samsung website. Haha....I feel so nosy..

I ended up getting a mint Droid X for $45 after flashing ICS I was really satisfied with it as it seemed just as fast as my old G2x (that I killed trying to fix - so many probs and bad battery life)... however while battery life was decent 6 hours screen time, I decided to try a GB rom and its at 49% after 10 hours of almost continuous usage.... the phone, while not as powerful as the latest dual cores or even the galaxy S is very smooth and fits my needs... highly recommend anyone who is in my shoes to check out used phones to use as a VOIP cuz there's really good devices/deals out there!

In the menu of kies mini was an option to reinstall drivers I tried that but after leaving it for 20min at least it was still at 0% so I canceled it. Are the drivers on the Samsung website different? When I look at the support section for the YP-G70 it doesn't give any drivers.

If you want stable look for custom roms that are based off of stock, like Chip v1.5. These ones provide mostly, if not, all the features that are available for the default rom and provide extra features. Check this out for more details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
