Thanks, this thread is really useful for someone new to Android/G-tablet. There are so many options on Marketplace it is nice to have a starting point especially since at this point I am not sure what is "possible" to do.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] beefstewed:
This thread has been really useful for me to discover apps!

Here are my favorite so far:

Pandora (just awesome for music listening since I don't bother to own much music)

Dropbox (can't go without it!)

Repligo (extremely useful for reading PDFs)

Dolphin HD Browser (with PDF converter)

Angry Birds Rio :D

Meebo (nothing too special - just what I happen to be using for IM)

Amazon MP3

Amazon App Store (yay for the free app of the day!)

Referey (works with Mendeley for PC to organize journal articles)

Gmail

Thumb Keyboard (I'm using the beta version, and it makes typing on a tablet in landscape orientation much easier.)

Also, Mango seems to be a cool manga reader, but I haven't used it much yet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Stretch2m:
OK I'll bite:

* SPB Shell 3D (yes, it works beautifully - at least on my Vegan Ginger)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggytmk:
Hi, i have a problem. I`ve tried to play zynga poker using my tab, but i cannot login using my fb account. But if i login through the regular fb for android, it succesfully login. It`s the same thing that happen if i tried to used other application that require fb connection. I`ve been stuck with this problem since i had galaxy spica.

Is there anyone can explain what went wrong? Or any post related to this problem?

Thanks before...sorry if i repost....

[Windows Phone 7 General] thekiller99:
Well i bought the HD7 mainly because of the big screen and kick back stand lol. I know it sounds a bit retarded but its true.

I download lots of videos and love watching them on my phone when i have some time to kill. So my main question here is :Whats the BEST video convertor for my phone?

Currently my rank list for the convertors i have are:

1:Xiliosoft video convertor

Pros

-Very good quality

Cons:

-Video resolution never stretch out to 800x480 even though i changed the settings

-Very slow conversion speed (Its not because of my computer)

-Expensive unless cracked

2:HD Video converters

Pros

-Nice quality

-Satisfactory conversion speed

-Free

Cons:

-Video resolution only goes up to 720x480 when i want 800x480

-Video sizes are massive eg 80mb FLV video -> Mp4 200-300mb when its usually 100-200 with other converters

3:GOM Encoder

Pros

-Very fast conversion speed

-Free

Cons

-Medium quality (I can see massive pixels which blur the image)

-Video resolution never stretch out to 800x480 even though i changed the settings

PS:It would be best if it was freeware but please give me all your suggestions
[Windows Phone 7 General] greq333:
Any Video Converter should be of use to You mate :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I use Windows Media Encoder 9. It's free and does a very decent job.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Barbbachello:
Why not just use Zune to convert media
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nophix:
I've always just used Handbrake. Free, open source, and it works on pretty much anything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Because Zune doesn't support certain formats like mpg for example.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ov2rey:
i recommend CyberLink MediaEspresso 6.5 very good
[Windows Phone 7 General] thekiller99:
Thanks for the suggestions but do the converters make the video fit right on the HD7 screen 800x480?

Because to be honest it sucks balls...waiting for it to convert and sync into my phone takes ages while using a converter it syncs into my phone without the converting phase

Is there a script to enable it without MMS.apk or another way ????
[Omnia 7 General] baracatwp7:
Hi,

I am thinking of buying one but I still have some questions:

1-How good is the touch screen? I am asking this because I used my friend's HTC mozart and it is having problems in touch for example you need to press 10+ times to open more details in marketplace

2-Camera quality compared to the Mozart?? or in general how good is it?

3-Battery life, I know it depends but Can you tell me how many hours does it last and with which usage?

4-Any problems you discovered??

5- Does it have blinking LED light ?? for notifications??
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
I had the Mozart and HD7 before swapping them both for a 16gb Omnia. My thoughts are:

1. The touch screen is excellent on the Omnia, no problems at all

2. Camera quality is better than the Mozart in day-to-day use. This is because although the Mozart's camera is supposed to be better I found that it was difficult to get good photos as there is quite a long delay between pressing the button to take a photo and waiting for the flash to go off - this then ruins your photos unless you have steady hands.

3. Battery life is excellent. I have WIFI permanently on and easily get 1.5 days usage in between charges without problems.

4. No problems on mine

5. Unfortunately there is no blinking LED light

I definitely prefer the Omnia of the three devices I tried - best screen, best battery life, best build quality, and really fast. Also, mine came unbranded and unlocked and had no problems with either of the pre-NODO and NODO updates.
[Omnia 7 General] baracatwp7:
So wifi is on all the time but are u getting emails pushed to device or do you make it check?? If yes, on what intervals??

Also, are you using twitter, facebook regularly??

Thank you
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
Hotmail emails are pushed to my phone, emails are checked hourly for 2 other email accounts.

Twitter is updated every 5 minutes, Facebook is checked manually.
[Omnia 7 General] baracatwp7:
May I ask u an irrelevant question : can I set everything to push on wifi??

Will this help the battery or make it worse??
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
Push will work for Hotmail and Gmail accounts. I couldn't find a push option for other email accounts.

The version of Facebook within the People hub doesn't have an option for refresh intervals, so I think it may be push-enabled by default. There's no push option for Twitter or Facebook (the full version), but you can decrease the refresh intervals to 3 mins.

I don't think having push enabled would make a difference to your battery life if you're using WIFI anyway.
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
Screen response has always been excellent for me, even when damp.

I get over a day's worth of use out of it with routine use (I use the web and check email, but don't play games every day).

There have been comments regarding the lack of dithering when viewing photos/gradients in web pages which can lead to some unsightly effects in some circumstances.

Personally, I don't mind this too much. The quality of the rest of the phone outstrips that deficit.
[Omnia 7 General] titus1:
Got a question...

Do all WP7 updates will be coming from Microsoft and not from manufacturer?

Will Silverlight (or the likes) be included on future updates?

Does the Omnia 7 is still worth getting or just wait for manufacturer's next offering.

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
WP7 updates come from Microsoft, but after being tested by the carriers.

And yest, the Omnia 7 is well worth getting in my opinion.

[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
I also need some help in deciding what to get, i already have the samsung nexus s and the HTC 7 Mozart, but want a samsung brand windows phone 7, because of the super amoled display, i have the choice of the following

samsung ominia 7 8GB at USD 437

samsung ominia 7 16GB at USD 460

samsung focus 8GB with micro sd upgradable at USD 601

which one of the above is recommended, between the ominia 7 8GB or 16GB and focus, i know they are almost identical on spec, and the the omina 7 is more like a upper class mode.
[Omnia 7 General] jaaacob:
The 16GB Omnia, no contest. Only 23 dollars more than the 8GB version and it's a damn good phone. Can't really warrant spending the extra $140 unless you

need

a phone with more than 16GB

Has anyone compared the omnia 7 with the nexus s, well I mean the earspeaker, I find the sound is too soft, and is hard to hear in noisey places for the nexus s, how is the omnia 7.
[Omnia 7 General] Mr_Waffle:
You do know you can change the volume of that, right?
[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
you mean volume up/down?
[Omnia 7 General] Mr_Waffle:
Yes, exactly. That works for me.
[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
i want to know the quality of the sound through the earspeaker when compared between the nexus s and omnia 7, and not jack up the volume.
[Omnia 7 General] Pdauser92:
You can increase the volume on the Omnia 7 if needed. The instructions are in this thread:

[Omnia 7 General] Captain-J:
I think ineed a Omnia 7......
[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
thanks to everyone last time who helped me to decide which phone to buy, I choosen the focus, got a second hand one rather cheap from a seller in this forum, anyway, since my last decision, the omnia 7 16GB has droped in price even further, so i may buy this as well, i have'nt received the focus yet, should be here in a few days.

next question, is it worth have both the focus and the omnia 7, remember i also have the mozart 7. and a nexus s.

thanks
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
No.

Don't get another WP7 device or at least not another Samsung WP7 device.

Why don't you try out the Samsung Galazy S2?

Why do you need so many phones anyway?

If you are certain you want to get another WP7, why not try the LG ones?

Also, if you have any more spare money lying around, could you get a Galaxy S2 for me too while you are at it?
[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
i was gonna get the omnia 7, but picked up a focus because it had the micro sd slot, the galaxy s2, i have no use for the dual core, and i never liked LG.try out the focus first.

As any of you who have dug into HTC's framework and RIL know, our LTE is capped, limiting us to less of the bandwidth our device is capable of. Jamezelle, aperture and

I

have been hacking away at it for the last five hours, and have managed to remove the cap.

Expect speeds of 50MBps down and 15MBps up, consistently on 4G.

This patch works with all functional roms released to-date (ie all roms based on stock).

Flash from clockwork recover.

*This was ment to be the traditional AndIRC Codered Bootscreen, however a couple people wanted to ruin the fun, especially this guy where who went as far as to call it a virus. These people have no humor, got caught flashing a boot screen on april fools, and well meh ruined the fun. Will post stock reversal zip tomorrow, for the forgetful people who didn't follow the directions and make a backup.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] yareally:
No, obviously it doesnt work, look at the bash script included and the rest of the files. Installing it, although harmless in intent, is basically a virus since it's doing something you obviously didnt want it to do (rickroll). Though if you did install it, I'm sure they will make good on the recovery script to remove it in the morning :)

Thank you for ruining some fun.

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself[1] and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability.
A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.[2]

Last year was great, ~100+ positive comments, no negative ones. Everyone bragged how great it was, so even more people flashed it, and last year it was a downgrade to 1.5 without root (on Eris). I see no big deal in a funny boot animation for April Fool's.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jamezelle:
+1

we worked hard on this...err nvm it wasn't that hard.. lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] yareally:
I never said it was a virus I said it was basically a virus (though it doesn't replicate so obviously it's not). If you want to be technical about it, it's malware (at least to those dumb enough to install it) and I didn't want to call it that since it sounds even worse, connotation wise and it's obviously harmless as I mentioned.

I also said I'm sure you would make good on removing it. It's a simple bash script so I don't see why you couldn't have made the removal tonight other than you wanted to see how many would download it and post about it (and the fact you're still up so you cant be that tired).

But anyways, yes it's funny, but not so much in the current setting (the developer's forum) and by members that have been around and are going to be looked upon by noobs.

Bottom line though is one should always be weary of what they do, but we all know there's plenty of noobs here that have no development background in any area of computers who would take anything as gospel.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
It's a damn boot animation, and the "developer community" is always doing April Fools pranks ( citation goes here, o and XDA itself did one to here ). Not new. This doesn't hurt "noobs", it hurts no one. It just gives someone (you) something to complain about.

Really, thanks for ruining the fun. You wouldn't know how many MSGs I have gotten from ppl that flashed it (this year and last), and enjoyed it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
Good idea, none of us would do something purposely harmful to another person's device.
