[Nexus S General] LoveisPeace2012:
Honestly the se arc has a very attractive build but the hummingbird with powervr trumps the snapdragon adreno combo no doubt , id go nexus s
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
You can't go wrong with NS either, I still love my NS very much as well. There's now a review of Arc on gsmarena, the audio quality seems mediocre, that would be a deal breaker for me. I can live without 720p video, mediocre camera, lack of micro SD card, but not mediocre sound quality!
[Nexus S General] rockingx10:
What's mediocre?
[Nexus S General] navlem:
Mediocre means subpar.
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
is it the SLCD version of the nexus; the canadian one that is?
[Nexus S General] navlem:
The Canadian Nexus S should be i9023 aka the SLCD version.
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
:( 0mega1 said he had his hands on the canadian retail one and its just a recalibrated version of the SAMOLED... now i don't know what to believe...
[Nexus S General] navlem:
I'm not from Canada, so he may be right.

From what I know, only US and UK had the i9020. The rest of the world who only had the Nexus S recently, had i9023.

But I may be wrong. :)
[Nexus S General] Bikers:
I would go for the NS, because SE made some crappy and ugly phones in the past, remember camera phone and mp3 phone which personally I don't like. so for this I would rather wait for them to prove they did a great phone. ARC looks good the only thing I question is the ergonomy of the buttons.
[Nexus S General] rockingx10:
How is the call volume on NS?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Engagdet basically said in their review that If you want a clean experience get a sns. If you want a phone that looks aesthetically pretty get an arc. Pretty simple answer to me.

Sent from my MIUI Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
[Nexus S General] rockingx10:
Do you have the link. I saw a YouTube channel DJ skee TV . He have done amazing review for ns that y I wana get it

Enjoy the review
[Nexus S General] koyanishi:
I previously used an x10i and can tell you that the call volume and music volume on the NS is superior to the x10 - and the NS also has a clearer sound.
[Nexus S General] tadaha:
i was using an SE X8, it came with android 1.6, but in late 2010, SE updated it to 2.1 and since then, they announced that they will not be updating the X10 series and X8 beyond 2.1. With the rest of the world already using froyo and gingerbread, all the SE users stucked with eclair. For me, the message from SE was clear, if you want gingerbread, buy the arc, play and neo.

Of course there are unofficial ports of CM6.1 and CM7 for the X8 currently being developed by devs of this amazing forum. But the bootloader is locked and it made development a lot harder. Oh well, the good news is the X10 bootloader has just been cracked, and hopefully the x8 and x10 mini will follow soon.

Nevertheless, my point is, SE's lack of support for older devices puts me off. I'm now using a Nexus S and i told myself i'm never going back to SE again. Btw i was a SE user since the days of the T610.
[Nexus S General] Raspster:
I thought the nexus s is 720p video recording after the updates that took place..?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
You thought wrong.
[Nexus S General] Raspster:
Then whats this news I hear that some are coming with 720p out of the box..? Someone in Italy got one with the 720p..? Or is this a main difference with the super AMOLED ones vs the SLCD ones..?

Link with info:

http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_s_in_italy_next_month_no_samoled_but_has_720p_video-news-2251.php

Now I wonder if the canadian NS with the 850/1900/2100 3G bands will have 720p. I mean come on, they just released it again and no 720p..? Google, there are phones coming now with 1080p... HEEELLOOO!!

Hi There!

I want to create a new shortcut that creates a new sms message with 1 press.

Anyone know how I can do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] imparator:
If you use launcherpro or adw you can create shortcuts to activities. under messaging there is an activity called create message
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
But is there a shortcut to mms anywhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:

[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Heres a hardcover case w/ stand that I bought, I love it.. I don't think im going to drop 100$ for the otterbox anymore. This case for 12$ is AWESOME.

I love that the stand is on the inside and can be adjusted to any angle you need since its a velcro piece (never gonna break! u just stick it at whatever angle u need)

*just so you know, the velcro piece is very secure, its super tight and the xoom doesn't move. I use it sitting in that case 24/7.

Not a fan of stands on the back considering u most likely need a flat /hard surface or else it's a pia to type, thats why I got this one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Hard-Book-Cover...979?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b93d31eb

Standing up in case:

Inside of case with the stand at the angle I like:

Stand stuck at a different angle, perhaps for typing just an example:

Xoom stored and stand stuck to top for storage:

Closed, ready to go:
[Xoom Accessories] gordec:
Does the Xoom slip at all while place on the stand? It's very interesting case. So cheap.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Actually it doesnt, it gets supported by the front part of the case, that's what i asked the seller before I purchased it.
[Xoom Accessories] sigp23940:
That looks like a cool case. But I think I am just going to wait on the padpivot and get a hard sleeve to protect the xoom.
[Xoom Accessories] Isun:
I will be ordering one.
[Xoom Accessories] pamaguin:
for $12:eek:.....I just bought one thanks
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
one ?

If I'm laying down in bed with it on top of me is it going to slide around at all. Also does it seem to stay it its position very well I'm really interested for 12 bucks i cant take me and my girl to a movie for that.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
yeah, it doesn't move , i do that every night.
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
sweet i iput my order in i hope i get it fast but didnt wanna pay the 5.5 for faster shpping thats almost as much as the case lol
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
I got it in 3 days and I live in hawaii, so i'm sure you'll get it faster in the states lol.
[Xoom Accessories] gbenj:
Depends where in the states, looks like seller is in CA, so it wouldnt necessarily take as long to get there as it would to get to somewhere on the east coast in the contiguous US.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Fair enough. :o
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
I live in il right next to St Louis so prob take about same amount of time
[Xoom Accessories] i_am_the_one:
thanks for the heads up on this case, i just ordered one for myself
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
lol who ever started this thread is gonna make this guy alot of money he better thank u lol
[Xoom Accessories] Droid-Steve:
Anyone have a link to order this off of a website? I checked the eBay seller's site and I couldn't find it (I hate eBay). Thanks.
[Xoom Accessories] filterking:
I purchase one of the Casecrown cases when I bought my Xoom. The case is worth the money, but the Xoom can slip out of it.

The loops do not hold the device securely. I used some twine to pull the loops inward. Which helps some, but

I am looking for something better.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
What? Lol, I don't see how the xoom can slip out unless you are carrying it around without it zipped up...
[Xoom Accessories] filterking:
I wouldn't be laughing if it hit the ground. I use my Xoom as a mobile device. There is a very good chance that it will slip out of this case when using it outside. Of course its not coming out of the case when its closed, but some people like to use their equipment..Not just carry it around.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Relax. When I'm walking down the street with my xoom I don't have it in the case .. I hold it in my hands, I wouldn't trust the case either in that situation.. then again I don't walk around and read much. I didn't get what you were saying at first, but fair enough.
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
www.senyxdirect.com

The case is made for the iPad 2 not the Xoom. Amazon has them too from the same seller. I grabbed one off Ebay for $18.16 with priority shipping.
[Xoom Accessories] bigworm50:
Which gel skin are you using?
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
The free one which came with costcos wifi xoom.
[Xoom Accessories] AndyMan386:
Didnt do any research, but got one for the hell of it.. Only $12.. hopefully it comes in handy!
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
I got the case today in the mail. It's a nice fit and for under 20 bucks, I can't complain.
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
Hoping finally get tomorrow been waiting all week
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
Still no case how's everyones case?
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
The front and back are a textured hard plastic which I prefere to a neoprene case. I picked up a hard cover off Ebay for 10 bucks that's a smooth rubber and it fits great with the case. Both together are much better than the crap Motorola is selling and cheaper too. I will take some pics tomorrow.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
I feel for you lol, I ordered a bunch of stuff from ebay last week and it sat at the sorting facility for 3 days before it got taken to the post office! Had to wait a week, made no sense.
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
Kinda mad with seller I ordered last saturday and I just looked up and he shipped yesterday
[Xoom Accessories] AndyMan386:
darn, was hoping mine would be in today, mailman came, no case.. guess ill need to keep waiting...
[Xoom Accessories] moz90:
Got it j just worried about how long stand will stick
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
Pics of case with hard cover

As you can see from the last pic, the hard cover is open on the sides similar to the Incipio feather case. The tool it came wih has a sharp edge to it and may scratch the rubber of the Xoom if not careful. I like the cover as it has a nice smooth feel to it with a good grip and adds no bulk. I had the silicon skin from Moto but that was a dust magnet. The only real downside to the case itself is the zipper is not as smooth to open/close as I would like but overall, I am happy with both purchases.
[Xoom Accessories] pat4714:
i bought one it doesnt fit zoom made for ipad 2 look at pictures on ebay ive been robbed seller wouldnt even return my messages lol case colse case has elastic corner holders zoom doesnt even come close to being held http://cgi.ebay.com/Hard-Book-Cover...979?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b93d31eb
[Xoom Accessories] Isun:
I got mine. When open, the straps do not really hold the Xoom firmly in place but it does hold as long as you are not shaking it about. When I say open I mean as in holding the case folded open and using the Xoom as a reader or something. When closed the straps don't really matter since the Xoom doesn't have that much moving room in there and it is a sturdy case so it is protected. I came up with my own remedy. I bought black velcro tape and put a one inch strip on the back of my Xoom. The adhesive peels off clean so there will be no damage to the Xoom later. The velcro attaches perfectly to the interior of the case so now, I don't even need the straps. I hold the case like a notepad with my Xoom when on the train reading and the Xoom doesn't budge. I even tried to shake it out and it wouldn't move. I was using the Arkon stand and Incase zipper pouch before but this does double duty as case and stand.
[Xoom Accessories] Shamrock13:
What case is that! I love it! I was looking for a hard cover such as that! Tell me now! :D Please?
[Xoom Accessories] donquez:
Mine came in on Friday, ordered about a week prior. For twelve dollars this case feels pretty solid. It feels more secure when set to lower angles as the tablet will slide in the case if you try to set it up too steep. The size is wider than the tablet, more optimized for an IPad. But for twelve dollars this makes a great protective case with some additional utility as a stand. Good find, thanks OP!
[Xoom Accessories] Giorgist:
Got it, not bad. The little elastics inside are useless. Works well as a stand, zipper is firm and seems water proof (do not test this :-)

The Xoom has room to move inside once closed
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
Got it from EBay seller Accessory Export. Just search for hard cover for Motorola Xoom and a bunch should pop up.

Checked Amazon and found it there for $9.89.
[Xoom Accessories] pamaguin:
I got mine this weekend but sold it today.....it would not fit in my STM Scout bag; decided to stick with the Motorola Portfolio case.
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Thats unfortunate! Mine fit in my bag by like 1/4 of an inch lol.
[Xoom Accessories] AndyMan386:
I got mine on Monday.. its ok.. not enjoying how hard the zipper is.. anyone find a way to open/close it a little easier?
[Xoom Accessories] bigworm50:
I second that on the zipper!

Overall a good buy for $12 though!
[Xoom Accessories] i_am_the_one:
I purchased this case and when it arrived it was pretty clear that it was not made specifically for the xoom. How ever it was a great deal and exactly what i was looking for. I purchased the zagg maximum coverage skin and like to use my xoom "naked".

The corner elastics didn't hold my xoom in place and carrying it around i could feel it sliding a bit inside. so I went out and bought some black elastic out of the sewing section at Walmart and sewed two pieces vertically attaching it to each respective corner, and now it is much more secure. Here are the pics http://imgur.com/CydxLl&quZuX&GibO7
[Xoom Accessories] Wobblin30:
Agreed, the zipper sucks. Feels like its rubbing with the material inside.
[Xoom Accessories] GunPR:
I bought one and is the best case i have bought so far for a device like this. For 12 bucks it is awesome. The case is strong and well made.

There is one minor problem that can be fixed with some customization on the 4 corners as the xoom dont fit 100% perfectly on there. But once the case is closed, its going nowhere thats for sure and i dont feel the xoom moving around inside.

I really like the case and for 12bucks nice deal...

Btw: The rubbing part of the zipper is because the zipper is hidden behind the plastic make the case looks more clean. You can shave with a razor all around both sides of the zipper a little bit if you want.. I like it the way it is tho.
[Xoom Accessories] dixon_coxon:
This looks good! I just ordered one! Thanks OP!
[Xoom Accessories] pat4714:
this case was built for ipad dummy dont by unless you wanna break your xoom
[Xoom Accessories] rlervin:
I think I am going to try this one out!
[Xoom Accessories] p2flol:
Yeah bro, it's going to crush it into a million pieces. Zzzz kid is so annoying...

edit: I use the straps to hold in my micro fiber cloths + usb wire. Even if it fit perfectly I wouldn't use it, I don't see any point too(I'm not going to trust little elastic straps to hold my 600$ tablet perfectly while im walking around, it's a fkin carrying case)... it's for protecting the entire xoom when youre not using it(or transporting it to work like me). If I'm walking around using it Im going to use my "HANDS" to hold the xoom, use common sense.. stop making several posts bashing this product since you're a picky idiot.

Irritating.

Sometimes my cell signal strength and data connection or wifi icons turn white.

Why does this happen? It doesn't seem to have any predictable effect. Sometimes when white, everything works normal. Sometimes, my data connection doesn't work at all when they are white.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
Hello,

I've tried a few different screenshot apps but they all appear to come out completely wrong. Some are the wrong colour, but the biggest issue is that they never come out in the correct orientation!!

If I take a screenshot in landscape mode, it comes out 90° clockwise to the screen, if I take one in portrait, it comes out 180°... totally upside down. Even if I rotate it, when I upload the image somewhere it shows in the wrong orientation.

Its happened on 315 and does it now on 318.. :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rptw:
theres a thread somewhere in xda that said apparently the lcd was mounted upside down in the streak, thats why the images come out weird, happens to all screenshot apps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891146
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
No way!! So, is there a fix for this?

As I said, even when I rotate the images, when I upload them they appear upside down again...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
However you rotate the images make sure that when you save the image that the exif orientation information is being saved. Some programs/apps don't save the orientation unless a setting is set properly. How to do this can vary from program to program.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
Ok, I will look into it. Thanks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
I've found that screenshot it appears to have a tick box to rotate images 180 deg. This could be useful, but the dev has to work on a red tint issue that appears to consume every screenshot I make..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowe2010:
To get rid of the red tint. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008494
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
The suggestion is to use two apps which show the image as upside down when the screenshot is taken, which is exactly why I went with screenshot it. I can wait on the dev to fix the tint and will then have an awesome app.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I can rotate the image easier than I can fix the color shift.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayton:
Knowing the dev is working on a fix for the red tint, I have the patience to wait for a fully working app.
[Droid X General] A Friend of Beer:
Is it safe to nand flash back to stock-rooted FroYo from leaked deodexed Gingerbread? I ask because I keep reading about folks needing to sbf to get back and the inability to flash other ROMs from the leaked GB. I guess what I'm not clear on is what the bootloader version matters, especially related to nand backup.

Not sent from my iPhone
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
That's a great question.. I would like to know, too.
[Droid X General] mrstealthusmc:
from what i have read on another forum, you need to sbf due to the fact that the kernels are different.
[Droid X General] DizDroid:
No it is not safe you will brick your device.

I got the master stock 2.2 from team black hat app on my phone and I flashed it and it worked great.

[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
He flashed the madderstock.zip file. This is almost exactly the same as an sbf except it is in zip form. You CANNOT flash anything else from froyo or you WILL brick your device
[Droid X General] jnehama:
If he got it from the TBH app it is the full system 2.3. 340monster zip. It CAN be flashed to get back to froyo BUT:

1) Maderstock zip CANNOT? They are two different filrs.

2)) if you want to go back to Gingerbread and you used the monster zip, you MUST sbf before doing so or you will likely soft brick your phone.

All this has been tried by experienced folks so the rest of us don't get surprises.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Ok...

So I plan on taking my Droid into Best Buy tomorrow to see if they'll replace it. I'm having issues with my camera's shutter getting stuck...and it's been taking horrible photos (NOT liberty related)...

If any of you have any experience with their insurance plan (I pay $10 a month, so it better be worth it!)...my first question is what is their procedure?

Do they pop open a brand new phone and replace it for you?

That would be fantastic...

Secondly,

once I obtain said phone...can I restore a nandroid backup from my prior phone on my new one?

I don't need instructions on how to do this or anything like that...just info on if that would be advisable or not.

And lastly,

I LOVE that liberty eagle on the lockscreen in Liberty 2.0.

But...I really do not dig the yellow.

Is there any way I can install the green gingerbread theme and somehow remove the changes it makes on the lockscreen?

Thanks in advance guys!

Hi everyone!

Having some free time, I have created a simple apps for you guys to actually convert your plain text messages in to cipher text, so that only the person with the key can understand the messages that you are sending to them.

How the message are being hidden can actually be very different with the types of cryptography and key being used. In this version there are actually two different cipher methods for you to easily cipher between plain text and cipher text.

The cryptography used in this application are not meant for hiding confidential information to be sent around, as it involves simple shifting of the position of each character so that it will not be understandable without deciphering.

So enjoy and have fun sending cipher text to your friends!
