I Just seen the Elocity A10 listed on tiger.
64GB $699
32GB $599
4GB $449 the 16GB not even listed on tiger
WLAN N
Claiming true multi touch this time for A10's
still ships with 2.2 froyo
Looks like the same pointless 1.3mp cam and still front facing(yes I know web cam)
with all the extra space you would think they would switch to full size SD
I truly have nothing against the elocity. I have an A7 with the 1.3 dex mod loving it, but wife wants it so I'm gonna spring for a Enspert Identy tab E201U. Looks promising and very comparable.
The tablet eLocity A10 and prices, and mt discussed already here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941603
A10 models starting to show up.
I just saw all 3 models of eLocity A10 on Tiger Direct for pre-order today. Amazon has it up but only on adding to wishlist when it becomes available. I am soo tempted right now to take my A7 back and get this A10 for just an extra 100 dollars to spend. I wonder if it is even worth it. If SteamTV can't release a fix for the sdram issue or at least add upgrade to gingerbread, I'm going to A10.

What "sdram issue" ?
Sorry meant SD Mirco card where it wouldn't work properly with A7.

What issue? I don't have any issues with sdcard...
Dexter_nlb said:
this is all a misunderstanding of how tablets are supposed to work, and caused by the fact that android 2.2 is made for a phone with external memory cards, and less to nothing of internal memory.
the current installation where apps are "moved" to internal storage is actually how vendors are trying to implement 2 types of storage.
comparing this to a mobile with just sdcard, and android 2.2 only supporting one storage type, the preferred storage becomes the "internal" and sdcard handling as you notice is now pointing to a location with the internal storage location.
the mountpoint at the internal storage location is planned based on the fact that users coming from an android based mobile knows alot about where to find data, which is in the storage location, so its put as mount at the storage so its easy to access, and not actually any bug at all.
so until better handling is presented (hopefully 3.0) people will continue to think that the handling is wrong or something is not wright here, but it is correct.
your internal storage of "just" 1.5GB is the preferred location, as tablets are not meant to have sdcards as preferred storage, if you chose not to put a sdcard into the tablet. so the choice was easy, use internal storage for android so ppl didnt need to buy additional cards.
but the lack of storage internally is a vendor decision, not a bug or not "the android way" a problem in any way..
imagine, those users without any sdcard, being unable to use the feature of android to a storage, and needed to use data storage for all files, that would look strange, if you didnt have the option available..
it could have been planned differently but vendors (all of the tegra2 vendors) has chosen this path, which could have been done differently but its all relate to apps and how they expect your device to work..
a long explanation, but remember 2.2 is not made for tablets, it made for small devices with external memory cards, which is long overdue and is followed up with the new android 3.0 which hopefully solves your problem.
conclusion,
Nvidia could have chosen a different way of using android, but they're still rather new to the platform and their design is not without problems yet (honeycomb will show that too), so if they used real planning and organized memory and sdcard handling like 2.2 was made for, you would have no problems at all. Remember Nvidia designed it this way, and they are the reason you have problems..Lack of knowledge of design and functionality, like BMW trying to make graphics card for a pc, coming from designing cars, their work would not be in a class like nvidia graphics, but probably ok..but far from good..

to answer you last question, usb to pc..
ill figure some idea out on the next update, as the tablet do support host/client usb port setup (recently confirmed), but i think you noticed the tablet don't have a port for connecting to your pc for now..
to enable the usb to pc connectivity you need a special usb cable, and software that changes the usb port mode. which can be solved, but disables the functionality of usb sticks etc, connecting to it.

Yet another in a line of many "problems" that could have been solved by reading the information that is already here.
Curious to know whether our phones, or any other similar phones, will support this new type of SD card? I've heard of it being tested in SGS2 and others, and it working, but what I'm curious about is whether we will actually be able to utilize the full storage capacity of the new cards?
I'll probably be looking to pick one up when it approached the £50-80 price range.
Before people start saying "why do you need that much space?" My response will be music and videos and when a 128GB card comes out, I'll be getting that too
Thank you in advance for any info, and hopefully this will help others too who are unsure how our phones will handle this card.
Hi,
in general it is working.

Thanks for the reply. Have already seen that link though and saw the comment about it being only able to access 32GB. This is what confused me in the first place because I assumed if it worked, then it would work to fully storage capacity.
I'm also thinking about getting a 64gb sdxc card (also got a lot of music, videos and apps).
So if you're gonna get on of those cards please report if they work properly.
Thanks in advance.
I believe the capability to access 64gb is based off firmware or something. If you can upgrade the firmware that is related to the card reader on the phone, it would probably do the trick, otherwise it probably wont work.
Will probably wait until this is confirmed to work properly on our phones. The price will drop over the next year or two so don't really want to splash out 100 quid on something which I may not able to be use properly until I get my next phone. Will post here if I hear any news in the future though.
hey guys and girls, I know its an old thread, but still can't find proof the 64GB sdxc card works... somebody already tried it?
The G2/DZ supports SDHC (max of 32GB), it will not support SDXC (least not officially, use at your own risk).
Does anyone know whether it will be possible to install the new Ubuntu Phone on the HTC HD2?
Gesendet von meinem Transformer TF101 mit Tapatalk 2
I think it's very possible, it is open source. I saw in one video that they're hoping or are willing to help developers port it to other phones.
My hd2 is ready for this.
I am a lil excited about this, particularly if we will have the option to boot into desktop by docking. Considering that the Galaxy Nexus is being used as the demo phone, I'm imagining that our lil HD2 will be capable (not saying they have identical specs, but clearly ubunto are going to demo it well above the min requirements)

They mentioned somewhere they wanted to have Ubuntu running not only across devices but on budget grade hardware within a device type as well. The HD2 still performs well relative to budget phones so I dont anticipate there will be any problems with the reqs. Can't wait till someone manages to get their hands on and port this!
EDIT: Actually wait, pulled from the Ubuntu site, there will be 2 versions:
Entry level (no desktop convergence)
1ghz cortex A9
512-1gb ram
4-8gb emmc + sd
High end (desktop convergence)
Quad core A9/Intel Atom
1gb ram
32gb emmc + sd
I'm sure the talented devs here will be able to manage something to get the high end onto the HD2, looks kind of overspec'd to me

Actually no, the high end phones running Ubuntu will also have a dock which will provide full desktop functionality (mouse, keyboard and
monitor). This is because the mobile version of Ubuntu will run on two cores, and the full Ubuntu desktop will run on the other two cores.
According to the requirements, the HD2 will be able to run Ubuntu Phone itself, though.
Hope this clears things up
AW: Ubuntu Phone for the HTC HD2
Any news? How could we get a dev going for this?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
I'm eagerly awaiting news on this as well!
I'd love to see Ubuntu running on the HD2. Is there anything this phone can't do? :laugh:
Yeah, I'm waiting for this too. I was able to launch GIMP using Debian on my HD2, so I'm very excited about getting usable Ubuntu:fingers-crossed:
Its very interesting for me too!:laugh:
It is available now for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4!!!
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install?action=show&redirect=TouchInstallProcess
We need some developers here:fingers-crossed:
I'm ready to test it on my HD2.
Believe the code in question is here. But don't think its the sorta thing that's portable. Anyone try it as it is? Can't spot in on first glance but I take it that the build model is taken from the device at some point, I guess if we can spoof that and see how far it boots.
Installed it on my gnexus today. It's nice but its just a preview . Almost nothing worked right. But it did get me excited!! Can't wait for the real deal now!
Canonical ask who has experience to help them to port Ubuntu Touch to new devices. Here's the link http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/02/taking-ubuntu-touch-to-new-levels/
Ill be tackling this once I can get the source downloaded, so many people are trying to get it that its crashing their repo, and since its ~12gigs, it might take a little while lol
I've token the time to extract the Ubuntu Touch Nexus 4 Dev Preview core system and put it into a ext4 Image to make easier for people to see exactly what's installed and be able to configure it without having to fully install it.
You can find the Operating System Image here - www.ZenfulApps.com

Hi z3nful, I have been trying on and off all day to DL the image with varying degrees of success. The zip seems to have downloaded successfully but is only around 100mb (ranging from 79 to 130)(tried from chrome on pc and linux, and firefox). Any chance of a mirror? Thanks
Thats odd, it downloaded good on my phone, Linux, and XP. here's a direct link to it that's not run through the file manager on the site, should work fine that way (still working out some bugs lol)
UbuntuTouch-DevPreview-Mako.ext4.zip

Thanks, that link worked first time
Ok I have extracted the image to sd on fat32 renamed it UbuntuTouch.ext4.img and put it in linux-files/system
The linload app manages to mount the image, but when i try to start vnc, i get
"bash: vncserver: command not found" in terminal after some other stuff, leaving me at the prompt.
I have tried to connect using other vnc viewers but no joy yet.
I have partitioned my 32gb card with 16gb fat32, 10gb ext4, 4gb ext4(empty) and 256mb linux swap. And ideally would like to use the 3rd partition for the image. Do i just put the UbuntuTouch.ext4.img file there and point to it with linload?
Thanks again
Edit; using tytung jb 1.3a on nativeSD
The Touch preview doesn't have vnc install when you first download it, and from what I've seen looking around in it, there isn't a command to start up unity.
One thing you can try is to install vncserver, then see if you can get it to load an "ubuntu-session" from the xstartup file. I'm not sure if that will work though :/
I've almost got the source finished downloading, once thats done ill be trying for a working kernel to see if I can get this setup as its own rom

I will play around a bit more, but not sure how that works.
No worries though, as is preview.
Best of luck with it:fingers-crossed:

PS: For information
I wanna know if it's possible to rip apart the Nexus 7 and upgrade the RAM from 1 GB to 2 Gigz? If it's even possible? I am not that hardware savvy. Was wondering if someone has done it or if it's even doable? I have seen threads detailing how to open the N7 and how to increase the SD memory (even one where an external SD slot was installed), but none where the RAM was upgraded. Any thoughts? Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any related threads.
Not unless you can solder in miniature and not ruin any other components. If you want more RAM get a 2013 version
Sent from my Nexus 7(2012) that has zero issues.
Thanks for the reply. I do intend to buy the new one, but not just yet. Before that I wanted to play around with this one and see if what I stated was doable. If it worked, it would be a good exercise (for me), and if it doesn't well i was getting another one anyways. I'd hold off on the thought now though since the it seems a bit more involved.
Looks like microsoft is clearing these out...
I don't know anything about it, but is it (or has it been) possible to put android on the windows version?
From what I read already it isn't that easy or even possible as of yet . I just bought the phone for simple needs and will be used as a replacement at work or when I'm taking trips . If by chance I were to lose my phone I would rather have lost this one than my main phone.
