Pixelization!

How the hell do you get rid of the pixelization ( Or however you spell it ). It is driving me mad just installed qteks rom and everything is perfect butt he pixelization is driving me mad!

I have had the same problem it only happens when the screen times out or you turn off the display it happends with the Touchflov3, Champion V2,qteks rom. If you reboot its ok till the screen is shut off again. any ideas?

Yea I thought there might be some easy fix but after some reading it seems that there isn't! I am definitely not going to be turning the phone off and on every time it happens to shut the screen off. I did try a lot of roms in the meantime. Unfortunately evil and Jacxhero just sit there and loop at the "Hero" starting screen and fatla1ty doesn't have the screen problem but the rom is incredibly slow! Qteks was nice and fast but as stated before the screen problems are too much, I guess I might wait a little while until something not so buggy comes out. Unless some one knows of something better or some other rom's that I haven't tried..... or how to fix the looping problem on evil's rom and Jacxhero? - Thanks JinX

For the boot loop to go away, you need to have a clean, freshly partitioned SD card. I had the same problem, then I reformatted my memory card. Removed the ext3 and linux swap and reformatted it all to fat32. From there I repartitioned the memory card. As for the pixelation, I noticed that it happens on slow SD cards or low quality ones. I tried Qteks hero with the class 2 that came with the mytouch and got the pixelation. I then tried it with a class 6 8 gig that I had and the problem went away. Not sure about class 4. I have one and am going to try it today. Will get back to you on that. I am not 100% sure this is the case, but it is what happened with me, as far as pixelation goes.

i have a class 2 and never get those problems

I tried with the scandisk 4gb and a class 4 pny 4gb

I've seen the pixelation with a class 6 4gb, and a class 4 8gb.
I have read some speculation that it has something to do with swap?
Right now I am running Qtek with compcache only, and do not have pixelation.
When I run Qtek with linux swap, I get the pixelation.

I was starting to suspect roms ported from the Dream boards, but I just flashed JACxHero 1.4 and no pixelation.

Leo cant playback a 2 mintue clip -_-

I did some recording, of nothing in particular, just around the house and after I finished I went to play it, and after about 5 minutes I assume it must of frozen or something as it was still on that loading screen...
Another faiure by htc -_- , has anyone had the same problems and/or found solutions?
Thanks

My HD2 has no problems as you're describing, so your post title is completely misleading.
However, have you tweaked the recording settings? Are you storing the footage on your Micro SD? What speed is it?
We need more info to try to help you

Yeah I am saving it to memory card, but Im not sure what speed it is, theres a 2 with a circle round it, does that help?
thanks for the response

That's means it's a class 2 card, which is slow, trying changing where it stores to say like the internal memory and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then buy yourself a class 4 or 6 micro SD card.

Hopefully amazon will do a full return, do they sell them as class 2/4/6 or is it just random?

I just made a video of 4:45 and it played back instantly. Took about a second on the loading screen.
Do us a favour - stop finding faults and then posting them and instantly claiming a fail on the part of HTC. You need to investigate issues a little more before start complaining. How about starting with the attitude that there may be something wrong, rather than the attitude that there is something wrong.
I am using a 16GB Class 2 SanDisk card, and saving vid directly to the card, so unless your card is faulty, I can't see it being that.

As johncmolyneux stated it's probably just your sd card is screwed, you could try just reformatting and see if that helps. If you decide to buy a new SD card, they will clearly state their speed, whether it be class 2, 4 or 6. Obviously the faster you go the more you'll pay.

Yeah maybe I'll try formatting, if not I guess I'll have to return it

I have tried formatting it, yet t still cant seem to play even 13 seconds worth of video. I switched the save locations to the device, still nothing.
I do however have a hunch, there is 1 video that I recorded that I can play on there, and its one I took the night I got the phone, before switching my settings and installing extra modes from damien123_666, so maybe the settings are too high quality and the phone is strugging with them? Maybe when I update the rom it will be more able to cope with higher quality videos

If you can bear it without too much hassle, do a hard reset and see if the problem persists. It sounds like you could be on the right track, but I'm sure there's a lot of people who have done the camera tweaks. Maybe ask in the thread in question to see if anyone has noticed this problem.

New NC User with CM7 and Dual Boot Question

Ok after spending a little time and finally getting cm7 and dual boot working I still have questions. I installed CM7 on the sd card but read that installing it internally is better. Can I install CM7 internal and still use dual boot?

What do you mean by dual boot? As in having stock and CM7 on your internal memory? Yes it is possible but I wouldn't suggest it.

Yes that is what I meant and thanks for you suggestion. I had enough trouble getting stock and cm7 working together with cm7 on sd card.

Actually it is not too bad to dual boot CM7 and stock both from emmc. I did it for a while and the main reason I stopped and made it single boot was because I ended up never using stock.

If she intends to use Barnes & Noble ebooks and, particularly, subscriptions, you may want to stay with stock. If she just wants ebooks, and not necessarily those from B&N, go with CM.
The B&N Walled Garden (stock) is very nice, and they do a very nice job with:
Subscriptions (e.g. magazines). They show up on the bar automatically with nice labels.
Enhanced content. Kids books and pubs like Conde Nast (e.g. Wired) are significantly enhanced with interactive content and stunning visuals. These will not work unless you're on B&N's firmware, at least for now.
The reader is very pleasant, particularly in landscape.
The launcher + bar is a nice break from grid-based launchers.
That said, the vast majority of things work equally well with rooted B&N or custom ROMs:
You can use Kindle books (Amazon) for mobil books, Aldiko and Mantano (and others) for epubs, all of which are quality readers.
Anything non-B&N, including Netflix, HBO & Max Go, Pandora, music.
Be aware that the Android Nook reader is, at least today (December 12) NOT anywhere near the same thing as the B&N 1.4.1 reader.
The big bite with using stock is that, at least without some work, it won't handle things like APPS2SD, so you have limited memory to work with. You're going to have to do a lot more work for things like overclocking. Customizing keyboards requires extra steps.
In short: If you intend to use B&N content extensively, the rooted B&N 1.4.1 ROM is very very nice. If you couldn't care less about B&N content, go with something else.

Getting a Nook Color, have a few questions

Well, I used to have a Nook Simple touch until it was stepped on, so I'm getting a Color. Before I get it though, I'm just have a few questions.
1. For rooting this thing, how complicated is it? It's not so much it being too complex, it's more of do you have to re-partition it or downgrade to root and things like that.
2. How long does the battery last on this when you're constantly using this? I plan on mostly reading, taking notes in class, and just experimenting with it.
3. How compatible is this with Android apps with the rooted stock firmware? I've used a Nook Touch, and half the stuff didn't even launch. I'm assuming that's not the case on this.
4. How well does Cyanogen mod run from a card? Is it better to install it to the flash?
5. Is it better to root it or just use a custom rom?

There are some people that like the rooted stock, especially since it has been upgraded by B&N. I did not mind rooted stock and it could run almost anything. It was not difficult to root. But I was constantly worried that it would get updated over the air and wipe out my root. Then I tried CM7 and I was blown away. It was fantastic.
Running CM7 on SD works great. And it runs almost as fast. I can't tell any difference myself.
I personally recommend not doing anything with stock at first. Put CM7 on SD and see how you like it. Some people like leaving stock on the main memory because the Nook reader on stock is better than on CM7. It can read kids books, textbooks, etc. (edit: And with the CM7 boot menu it is easy to boot back and forth without taking out the card.) If you end up liking CM7 and not using stock you can always move your CM7 permanently to main memory.
Battery life is not great compared to the original kindle or original nooks. The color touch screen really eats the battery. I am on mine constantly and pretty much have to charge every night. But it does sleep good if you are not using it.
I don't think you will regret getting the Color.
The guide for installing to SD is here:

Awesome! That's actually just what I was needing. I wasn't really looking forward to having to take the card out every time I wanted to rebooting.
Is there USB Host for the NC?
Edit: And another question: is it possible to configure network settings like DNS on this? I'm guessing stock won't but Cyanogenmod will.

There is usb host built into CM. Not stock. I don't know the answer about dns. It think you can manually edit the connection settings like static ip, etc.

You don't have to. The bootloader (cyanoboot) has a menu. You can choose which you want to boot into, and you can set the default action to boot "through" sdcard to emmc unless told otherwise (if you want to change the normal boot behavior, which is to SD if it's bootable)

[Q] does this thing actually not save data to the sd card?

When I install for instance a Gameloft game it downloads data to the SD card, at least in any other device. On here it seems there is a /mnt/sdcard directory but its part of the internal storage? My actual SD card is listed as /mnt/external_SD and is basically blank.
This is nuts is there any way to fix this? If I had known it does this I would not have bought only an 8 gb tab. I am running the ICS update.

GL2SD
It's the best option that I've found without symlinking... I don't know why the manufacturers have to have there own directory structures.

Seriously? I have to root this tab to make it operate the way any normal unrooted phone or tablet work? Surely this has to be a mistake or a bug in how the ICS update was set up. Also this is not just a gameloft problem, EVERY app that has data has dumped it to internal.
I was thinking what if I copied all that sd data to my card, deleted the SD directory, and then renamed my card from external_SD to SDcard. Probably won't work my luck.
A couple of people here even commented in another thread that the card I got (class 4) may affect game performance, how could it if the games don't even go to it!
As for as I know this worked fine prior to ICS....

If your trying to Move the 300+ mb for the game to your external_sd card and its only a class 4 im willing to bet it would suffer playback issues and more lag than normal since class 4 is on the slower side of things :-\ apps to sd might help solve some of your problems not sure though...

Seeing that you have a nook color all cm'd out and stuff, I am wondering why you are reluctant to cram a nice rom on that sucker and be done with it. My games play, my data goes to my external sd card, and I can overclock. Plus the acer ring is pretty sweet. The new tools and stuff make it way easier than the nook was a year ago.
It's either that or dump the tab bro. You don't seem to be having any fun...

Unfortunately App2SD doesn't work, its for moving the apk to the SD card. Class 4 cards are fine, and the go-to card on my phone for example, which is far slower than the A500 but plays games (like Modern Combat 3) fine with no lag at all. Class 6 is about as fast as you can go as the classes higher than that are made for digital cameras and don't work as well for all I/O operations.
I'm looking for just the game install data to be on there, I'm ok with the physical apks not moving. But it doesn't seem to do that. I find it bizzare that there is a mnt/sdcard directory and yet its on internal memory. Een if I download stuff my download directory points to mnt/sdcard/download instead of mnt/external_SD.

Other than this issue I really do love it. Its very fast and seems to work great as is. If this issue was cured I would be perfectly happy with it as-is (although HD youtube playback can be crappy at times, but I don't really watch much youtube anyway).
If I have to I'll go ahead and root it, but It just bothers me that I bought this as new and it has this issue, that I'd rather just fix. Kinda helps to perpetuate the cycle of Android being more complicated than it should be.
So is there any way to have the A500 use the SD card the way any normal non-rooted phone or tab would? It seemed like it worked right on HC, but isn't working right on ICS. Maybe a factory reset and starting over with the SD card in from the start?

Where you been????? This is not an A500 problem, this is an Android Tablet problem. Ever since Google introduced Honeycomb the micro sdcard was taken out of the primary storage loop. That is why phones were never released with HC. Why Google went this route who knows but your sdcard is basically now a media storage card and what not. Games and most apps can't take advantage of it for storage unless you root it and go through a series of hacks. And all those do is disable the internal memory in favor of the sdcard. It really sucks, but an 8gb tablet is worthless. I returned mine and got a 32gb. Everyone hoped that ICS would change this but it didn't.

can you just get a file explorer and move the data yourself?
there was also a soft modding tut to make the external the primary download spot and appear as the internal.

That is one of the mods you can try, my response was to the original OP bashing the A500 for this. I was trying to point out that this is not an A500 problem but an Android tablet problem with HC or ICS. Google should have made the internal memory just, that instead of calling it the sdcard. Forcing the actual sdcard to be called the external sdcard. This is where the problem lies, non of the developers of apps offer an option to save data to an external sdcard since that implies the sdcard will be removed and the app won't have it available.

My phone (g2x) came set up like this too. Makes no sense. There are work arounds but IMO the best solution is to flash it with a better ROM. It solved the problem and gave me a better all around experience on both phone and tablet.
I know it sucks that you have to "fix" a new tablet...but honestly for me the customization is one of the great pluses of Android. Just my opinion.

Ok finally, this makes sense (well it doesn't because it should just work right, but....). Does stock ICS behave this way on phones too? Aside from a beta of HC on my nook color, the highest version of Android I've used was 2.3.7 which I have now on my nook, so I was unaware of this.
Unfortunately mine is non returnable, I got it on eBay refurb from Acer. It was cheap, and honestly not completely useless with only 8gb, I just won't have much in the way of games. But in reality I play 99% of my games on my Xperia PLAY since thats what it was designed for. I would maybe have gone ahead and tried to set up a game controller on my A500, but now I'll just resolve to having to watch whats on there or.....

Thats ridiculous as well. This partially eliminates one of the primary advantages of Android over iOS.
That said yes its nice to be able to customize of course, and I may end up just rooting it and using a custom rom. But theres always tradeoffs with that, and stock it works perfect except for this obviously inherent issue. Every GB rom I've used always had the occasional glitch here or there, where stock ones nailed it every time. Not to knock our devs out there, but in this case I have my nook and phone to screw with if I want to, I was hoping this would just work as is.

No they definitely aren't. I don't have the link offhand, but Class 10 cards are good for taking video and pictures in cameras, but their I/O speeds are not as good as lower classes. There have been tons of tests on other forums on this site to confirm it.

correct me if I'm wrong doesn't the class refer to the write/read speed of the SD card....so playing HD video would be quicker and moving files from computer to tablet would be quicker.
