Fastest Compact Flash memory card reader… its your camera!

Monday, December 28th, 2009 | Author: admin

So I’ve had three USB 2.0 card readers that I use to transfer my photos to my computer. They are all USB2.0 readers. I have two of these:

23-in-1-usb-20-card-reader

And one of these:

Compact Flash Reader

They should be able to transfer my 25MB RAW images at card speed which is 30MB/s which would be great… the problem is that they are transferring at a rate of ~3MB/s which is like watching paint dry…

I was just about to order a $80 firewire reader when I tried plugin in my camera and trying its speed, well the camera did 30MB/s !!! so my cards are fine its these cheap readers that are at fault.

How do you guys transfer files back to your computers?

Unable to start wi-fi, Mytouch 3G T-mobile after rooting

Thursday, December 10th, 2009 | Author: admin

So you Rooted your Mytouch and now lost WIFI, Bluetooth and accelerometers.

This tiny post is to help people that just rooted their phone and lost WIFI, Bluetooth and accelerometers with your new custom image. I had the same thing happen to me and this is what I did. I tried many things and followed a guide from www.subterrain.net which seems to be down now.

This will install the base image and then a custom image from Cyanogen. The outcome is a very responsive phone that works great. I updated to the latest image with CM-Update (you can download it from Market).

There are a lot of people that blame this on hardware, but it seems its just software.

Here’s their Cyanogenmod guide:

[THIS WAS COPIED FROM THEM DIRECTLY, THIS WORKED FOR ME]
Cyanogenmod Installation Steps:

  • Download the HTC Android 1.6 base image: HERE
  • Download the latest CyanogenMod ROM for your device: HERE
  • Put all necessary files on your SD card Now install the actual OS of the phone. First you will install the legal Google apps, and then you will install CyanogenMod on top of those apps.
  • Turn your phone off.
  • Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.
  • Select “wipe data/factory reset”
  • Select “apply any zip from sd”  choose “HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip”
  • Press home to confirm and let installation complete (‘Formatting Cache’ will stay at the bottom of the screen but once the menu reappears, the flashing is complete)
  • STOP – DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
  • Again, select “apply any zip from sd”) * choose “update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip”
  • Press home to confirm and let installation complete
  • When this is complete, reboot your phone by pressing Home & Back or selecting that option. Wait a couple of minutes, and enjoy.
