185?! I tried 200 and that was too small...you're crazy. 210 seems just right for me (also with LP).

240 is a good default :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ghetto Geeksta:
Hello I just got a Dell Streak and upgraded it to 2.2, I was referred here from andriodforums.com. I don't know where to start on this forum, I did not see a new member or welcome forum, I guess you just jump right in here.

Build number 14844

Baseband version GAUSB1A134031-US
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pfransua:
I'm wondering the same thing. I have a white Streak, updated to 2.2, but I can't root it! Its unlocked, but I want to root it to overclock it. I was able to overclock it on 2.1, but on 2.2, I'm stuck ! Someone please help me resolve this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fleurdelisxliv:
Go to the dell streak thread and search its a great tool so much good stuff about the white or black streak and as far as rooting i used superoneclick v1.7 rage worked perfect so i hope this helps yall any! Remember to search, search, search you will learn something for sure :D

[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
I noticed that on Expansys they have knocked the price of the Omnia 7 down to £349.99 and I was wondering if these are UK specific handsets or EU ones & if they are EU ones what effect if any would there would be in getting updates compared to the UK handset?
[Omnia 7 General] EnderPsp:
Expansys ships from all over EU, so they're generic EU (even in UK, afaik). UK handsets are branded by carriers, so more chances to get updates delayed if you buy a UK Omnia7. If you're considering buying one, try Germany, as there you can find the 16 GB model (not sure if on Expansys though).
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for that. I know that ones that on the UK website are the 8GB model. But from what you're saying it might be worth a look on there German site just to see.
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
There are a couple of sellers on eBay Germany that you can check out, who supply 16gb versions and are cheaper than Expansys. Mine is 16gb, new, unlocked and unbranded, and arrived in about 3 days. I was given the tracking details so I was able to track my parcel across Europe. The mains adapter came with a 2-pin plug so you'll need to supply your own. When I first turned the phone on I was given an option to switch to English.

The best thing was that when I connected the phone up to Zune it immediately told me that there was an update available (the pre-update). The update was smooth and painless. As the device is unbranded future updates should be available straightaway as they don't need to be "approved" by a carrier first.
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
I have to confess the one thing I have avoided buying through eBay is expensive electronic items, but I will certainly look into following what you have said.
[Omnia 7 General] EnderPsp:
No need to buy from eBay, if you have bad experiences (I had a couple in hundreds of good purchases).

The price for Omnia 7 16GB on Amazon.de is 299E + cca 7E shipping. ;)

Note: apparently this is still a seller, on Amazon, yesterday there were ones on sale from Amazon, I guess they run out :)
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
But Amazon.de don't ship to the UK (at least for that particular item), as I've just tried it. The eBay seller I used also has a shop that you can buy directly from: http://www.es-mobilfunk.de. The price is 289 Euros plus shipping. I went through eBay as I was able to benefit from Paypal buyer protection if needed.

See here for more info:

http://wmpoweruser.com/massive-price-drops-for-windows-phone-7-handsets-in-europe/
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for those links.

I have to say I hadn't noticed price drops in the WP 7 handsets over here, just the Omnia 7.
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
I don't think the price-drops are as extreme as they're suggesting. I only noticed price drops for the Omnia 7, mainly because I wanted to buy one at the time. Its a good time to buy if you're interested in WP7
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
Had a look on those sites and I wish I read/spoke German as it would make things a lot easier!
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
I don't speak German either so I used Google Chrome to browse the links for the German sites (it will translate whole pages on the fly for you). I think Firefox will also work if you have the Google Translate add-in installed.
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
Excellent and thanks for that suggestion.
[Omnia 7 General] Super Chimp:
Sorry for the double post but I must be going blind as I cannot locate that ES-Mobilfunk on eBay?
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
Try this link :-)

Thanks. Now I wonder why that didn't come up when I did a worldwide search on there for the 16GB model.

So has anyone started to collect those android Viynl collections?

I'm starting right now but I've only bought some of series 2. I can't link here yet since I'm new but the site is

deadzebra dot com/dyzplastics

Just wondering if anyone else is collecting it! ^_^And maybe we can start trades for people who need a specific one because apparently there are a lot of knockoffs nowadays.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I've got an original green collectible :) I'd love to get some more but i can only find them for sale from the US and it costs too much ££ :(
[Off-topic] kekouekla:
Hey Dirk,

I think there are UK sites that have it as well. The company that makes it is called dyzplastics under deadzebra.com. I've linked you to a sales site that has it.

Nice to see some UK outlets listed! Sadly the only figurine available is the one i already have :rolleyes:

Thanks for the linkage mate, i'll be keeping a watchful eye for potential additions to my collection. :)

Oh, Well, Series 2 JUST came out. I think they might restock later. . . .

If you keep an eye on the Android Community website you'll often see some of the rarer ones being displayed. HERE is what you want to see. Aren't they adorable?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoxile:
It seems just about every review says the panel's viewing angles are terrible. But i that the only real issue with the G tablet? And is the problem even that bad?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klong81506:
I think it is an advantage. ...keeps nosey folks from looking in
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjackxiii:
No there really not that bad. The only time it become an issue is when held in portrait and web surfing. It creates a kind of shiny, effect. But its not all that bad. All the criticism probably stems from people have become accustomed to retina and super amoled screens plus ye olde snowball affect, As soon as someone mentions it everyone notices in and magnifies its perceived effect.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I've read many many reviews before I decided to order my gtab. I actually came across one review that criticized the gtab because it's made of black plastic. It really seems to me that people just want to criticize for the sake of criticizing. My problem with them doing this is that they clutter up all the space making it more difficult for people like me to discern the real criticisms from the fake ones.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
In landscape, looking down on it (ie. when it's resting flat on a table) is bad - solarization effect. And in portrait it's very noticeable when you tilt it slightly. I personally dislike it as I had used it primarily in portrait mode.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoxile:
So it's very noticeable in landscape? Too bad, I'd prefer using it in landscape for the wider view. Are there any plans to update the newer models?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llphyre:
I only run high end displays on my desktop machines (Both home and work). All IPS and PVA displays (this is high end, if you're not familiar with the tech).

The GTab's display isn't that great, it's useless when laying flat on the desk (buy some sort of stand if you plan on using it at a desk). HOWEVER, using it as an ebook reader, or watching a movie, or surfing the web, all from the couch or bed? Perfectly fine.

TL;DR: It isn't great, but it's not even remotely as bad as everyone says. If you want better, buy a Xoom (for more than double the price).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D Wright:
Ipad definitely has a superior display. I would enjoy the tablet experience more with that. Also much heavier to hold for a period.

Watching straight on as you normally anyways, it works quite well. A weird effect or distortion does occur in portrait. It's as if pixels weren't perfectly square of something and display different this way.

Speed is great, surfing with dolphin is quite nice, and widgets and multi tasking way better than Ipad.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japhule:
As long as you're looking at it straight on and not moving it around too much it's fine. The only time the viewing angles annoyed me was when I play a game that uses the accelerometer because sometime its hard to see some things while moving it around at different angles.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
+1 what he said. Im using mine all day in public and with this screen don't even worry about someone getting a password or account number.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByByIpad:
The Gtablet is great with the new ROMs. I use 3318 with 3.14 enhancement with no problems and does everything I want. Have Flash 10.2 fix for Hulu.

Viewing angle can be bad and is fixed immediately by handware. A simple tile here and there and it's fine. After awhile it becomes a conditioned reflex. For me, the viewing angles improved when I started using it in a case. I use the SOLO case modified with a 1/8" flat cardboard IPad sized template. The template is velcroed to the case and the tablet is velcroed to the template.

Having the tablet in a case while on your lap keeps the viewing angles almost perfect in landscape mode and allows both your hands free for speed typing on the keyboard. In portrait mode, the case is held like a book and viewing angle is also excellent and angled correctly.

In short, the viewing angle is totally controllable and can be corrected by either handware and/or caseware.

My question. Are most users, using the Gtablet with or without a case? And how often is the viewing angle an issue to you?

My experience, the viewing angle is a now a non-issue and I use the Gtablet at least 4-6 hours a day and have done so happily for the last 3 months.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10roller:
+1 what he said

When needed, the tab can be rotated to accommodate different angles (camera on bottom). I only do thisif I lay it flat. Which is rare.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slsmag:
>>>In short, the viewing angle is totally controllable and can be corrected by either handware and/or caseware.

uh huh - and sneakernet is a very efficient way to move files from one computer to another ;)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreaKaDroidXYZ:
Vertical viewing angle is bad from bottom

Side viewing angle is acceptable, but the vertical viewing angle is pretty bad from the bottom.

To use it laying down on the table, I have to turn it upside down first because its viewing angle from the top is not bad.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slsmag:
agreed - horiz is fine (in landscape mode). vert is pretty bad - and I'm using VEGAn 5.11 (the home screen does not rotate) so turning it upsdie down is not an option.

Poor battery life? Given that I don't have this tab yet. Still waiting for mine. But everyone else on the internets have said the battery life is up there with the ipad. Any idea why this person would say this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adampdx:
Yeah that's strange. I can get three days of light use out of my G tab no problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guduri:
Same here. Battery life on this device is awesome.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectzro:
because the moron was probably using the stock image which sucks. im sure that its power management is less to be desirable.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam.porter77:
They probably used the shipped rom for their testing, which may have poor battery life (I wouldn't know, flashed a custom rom within an hour of opening mine). I use Vegan, and battery life is great. I watched about 4.5 hours of movies on mine yesterday with wi-fi on and still had plenty of juice left
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chucktate:
I played with an ipad the other day.

I haven't played with ipads much, but I have to say I was not impressed. I layed it down flat on my lap and had to pull it up to an angle that was more comfortable on my eyes. Sure it can be seen while laying down, but it is not as sharp as if angled even with your eyes. I could not read for long laying it flat. As for the user experience, I could not wait until I got home to my gtab. I use a m1 case that works very well for me. Also using vegan tab. You never know how much you miss flash until you pick up a ipad. I have an iPhone 3gs and a dell streak. I only use the iPhone when I ride my bike. It's smaller.

Good luck in your decision. Go to office depot and play with a gtab.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramerco:
That jr.com review is so funny for a variety of reasons. "The user interface is well-designed but sluggish; a commentary on the hardware." Um yes, when things run slow it is OBVIOUSLY the hardware.

Anyway, another perspective on screen angles:

For my gTab the worst angle is the one when you hold the device in upright landscape mode and tilt the edge with the volume buttons away from you. Whenever the edge with the volume buttons is further from you and the edge with the dock connector there is a solarizaton effect.

However, it is pretty easy to compensate for. Always tilt the edge with teh volume buttons so that it is just a tad closer to you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manikin13:
Multiple 6+ hour flights (wifi + heavy game + reading) and still plenty of juice at the end of each one.

Not sure about a non modded stock TNT though. But that is the first I have heard anyonce complain about the battery life.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llphyre:
I had a 4 hour marathon reading Comics on my GTab on Sunday. Started at 94% battery (par for the course, right?) and after those 4 hours of full brightness on the screen and wifi on, I was only down to 70%.

My Dell Mini 9 only makes it about 3-3.5 hours, my Nexus One will maybe do 5-6 hours using it the same way.

Having worked in the design world for mobile devices, this thing has an INSANE battery life for what it is.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Anyone else think the viewing angles are better with lights on in the room or at full brightness? I tried playing snes games on it last night in bed and noticed I was having problems seeing without the solar thing the others have spoken of.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarponbeach:
I don't think that its that bad, if anything, it prevents someone next to you from seeing what you are up to
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Quick question cause I know the xoom was talked about in one of the viewing angle forums. Does it have a better screen then the gtab?
[Legend Accessories] ages_devil:
hello,

i recently bought a used htc legend, and found that the screen does not respond in the right way(some parts not respond at all)

i went to htc distributor in Egypt, they told me it's not responsive and the replacement will cost me 1450 EGP (about $245) which is a lot.

i searched on ebay and found something called "LCD Touch Screen Digitizer For HTC G6 Legend" for just $38, and other thing called "LCD Replacement Screen For HTC LEGEND"

i just want to know is this the same thing that the distributor was going to change ? the touch screen or the LCD ? which is related to not being responsive ?

the problem i am facing is this :

so is this the right thing to buy? or what, because the difference in price is huge.

so is this what i need :

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordv8r:
I just noticed these four contact pins directly under the camera. Are they for the inductive charging battery door?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
Rumor is either the inductive battery door or a future NFC battery door.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atst44:
Considering the antenna is integrated into the back cover, I would assume it is for that. However, I could very well be wrong, as I do not have a Thunderbolt to check it out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
There are two pins separately connecting to the battery cover for antenna. And another 4 that connect to nothing right now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @RichyRich:
Hoping it's inductive, could care less about NFC, personally.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
Yeah every review I saw that commented on it seemed to hint at the NFC concept too. I agree, though its a neat technology, I don't really think that NFC is something I'd want to deal with as well credit cards w/ similar technology make it easier for people to steal your number... just adds another potential security issue w/ phones. Of course that technically is a good thing for me as that's sorta what I'm researching currently.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmcclure937:
I think it is inductive battery door... because there were product leaks that hinted at this!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
That is probably right, as I have seen the inductive battery door listed on quite a few places, but wasn't sure if that would have some other way to transfer the energy. But I saw that mentioned on articles along with discussions of the extended battery, which you can get currently. But I've seen prototypes for the induction charger to go w/ the door... so yeah that makes the most sense, but not sure why it'd need 4 pins??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordv8r:
Well I did a little experiment and the far right battery pin is connected to those four pins. So it looks like it is for the inductive battery door. :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raider5oh:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joanni:
Well long story short, 12 hrs after I bought the phone on release day (next morning) the phone would not receive internet connections from the carrier or pick up a gps signal. After being at the VZW store for em to diagnose for an hour they couldn't find a fix, but I couldn't return it then cuz I didn't have my receipt and box with me.

The next morning it was magically fixed, much to my surprise, and I didn't know what the problem was in the first place. Idk if it went on a new firmware or something overnight since I left it on WiFi, but I'm just afraid of it happening again after my return period is over. Anyone heard of this? Should I go get it exchanged? I would-be going tmrw so I would like some help deciding.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Several of us have reported intermittent total loss of signal on 4G that leads to total loss of data, so I suspect network issues VZW didn't catch before the major roll-out (I hope anyways, rather than bad phone designs).

Your loss of GPS issue shouldn't be network related, but did you try one of the GPS Status apps to check satellite locks and all that, or were you just on VZW as your location provider in the setup?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joanni:
No actually there's no 4g in my area, NE PA so that's not the issue. It happened as soon as I drove to school which is 30 mins from my town. It never worked after that till the day after when I see it working. No i didn't use apps for the gps since I was trying to get 3g working again as it was my main priority. the VZW guy flashed it twice to see if it worked and nothing, so that's why I'm freaked out. BTW I could call, txt and WiFi normally but I could not receive gps or 3g data, the up/down 3g icon would only flash up never down.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnafides:
OTA software updates require you to confirm that you want to install so unless you did that, that can't be it.

There's probably no harm in getting it replaced now other than it being a minor inconvenience, but keep in mind that you still have a year warranty on the phone. If it's having a problem maintaining a data connection they would have to replace your phone (though it might be a refurb).
