[Galaxy Tab General] rnoboa:
This, x1,000. I own an original iPad, and picked up a T-Mo Galaxy Tab for $100 on Craigslist. Once the wifi Xoom came out, I went to Staples to pick one up.

Disappointment doesn't begin to capture it. Such a lovely screen...why, why, why wouldn't you include a Movies app with the tablet? Videos that played flawlessly on the Tab would stutter and whimper on the Xoom. That's just inexcusable.

I also co-sign everything you said about Facebook; I had the same experience with Seesmic.

I bought it on Friday evening. I returned it on Sunday afternoon. I can handle rough edges with software, but this goes beyond that. And selling it for $600? Yeah...not so much.

That said, I'm keeping an eye on the Asus Transformer; $399 is a sweet price point.
[Galaxy Tab General] nojive:
Thank you soooo much for the Tab vs Xoom reiew. I was looking at the Xoom a couple weeks ago, but when I saw Sprint marked the Tab down to $199, I bought it instead. Although the Xoom is a gorgeous device, I am becoming quite sold on the 7" size. After using my Tab for a week, I love it! Now if the Xoom was only, say $100 more than the Tab, I may change my mind, but as it is now, it's way too expensive for what it offers out of the box. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Xoom have a price drop soon.
[Galaxy Tab General] grainysand:
How bad is Honeycomb? The reviews of the G-Slate, Xoom, and even Eeepad Transformer suggest that Honeycomb itself is... not ready and quite laggy. How does it compare to plain old Froyo on a 7'' Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] czesiu:
so if understand correctly, android market does not install the tablet version of gmail or any other app on the galaxy tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
You will have special section of apps created for the Honeycomb and for 2.2 or 2.3.

Apps that are not suppose to work will not be shown on the Market.

Some apps created for phones freeze or fail to work but overall you can find apps that suit your needs. I would agree that at this point software has rough edges but this is always an issue for the early adopters. The 1st iphone had no software choices at all and it took more than half a year to get something else.

Screen size and resolutiin make Xoom almost a laptop.

I like Xoom but prefer Galaxy Tab because of size and weight.

Hi Guys;

So basically I have upgraded my Milestone A853 from 2.1 to the CM MOD6, which is great, however the browser and some Froyo apps do not display Arabic properly.

I have been lost for weeks trying various solutions with no success, can anyone help? Please ..... :)

thanks

BTW, the official froyo update has been released today and is available via MSU :)

Okay, so some songs don't appear on my PowerAmp library anymore. I know this is a system library, but I've removed the stock Music app :( I don't know how to get it back to check whether the songs show up in it or not. I want all the songs to appear in the library..no amount of SD card remounts or phone reboots seem to fix the issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbansal2:
I have been reading around for a while now, and noticed a lot of ppl soft-brick there device and are asking devs for help. I have noticed a lot of issues revolve around people trying to hop form on ROM to another.

A very easy way to recover from any sort of brick(or issue) is to use nvFlash. Its is very easy to setup and use and I highly recommend that everyone should setup nvFlash. You can find the guide on how to set it up from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

I think after the update last night a lot of people will brick there devices trying to mod it, and nvFlash will help you recover. I think we can really help out the dev if we all learn how to use nvFlash, because then they wont have to ans to alot of the support issues that keep coming up, and it will free up some of there time which they can use to create newer roms that will work with the new update.

If for some reason you follow that guide and are not scussefull in setting up nvFlash, then feel free to leave me a pm and i'll help you set it up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
Good post!!

You absolutely right because most of them (especially new users) won't take time to read stuff about the new update, which will in most cases soft brick the tab when coming from a non stock rom.

So yea they all should have Nvflash setup, just in case
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgstan:
Great advice.

I was messing around with Vegan Ginger the other night and wound up borking my gTab. Followed the instructions in that thread and had no problem using NVFlash to get everything back to normal.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildBidoof:
Noob here Hi!

I Actually used the NVFlash yesterday to clear up some issues i was having. it works well and was easy to use.

Some how i screwed up my copy of Clockworkmod. When ever i attempted to flash any Custom ROM it would just sit at the view sonic boot screen...Although TNTLite always flashed with no issue.

I used NVFlash to get back to defaults then updated to 3588 then Reflashed CWM. Now I am able to load Vegan :)

Thanks for the post i think it will be helpfull for us N00Bz

:D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetguy35:
Actually, you probably didn't screw anything up. Some Gtabs have a partitioning issue (I had it) which is only corrected during nvflash. I was unable to install any ginger roms until I nvflashed. Worked like a dream after nvflash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnarcotics:
okay i have searched endlessly both thru here and Google have managed to find a program to do it for you apk edit works great for market apps not so great for system apps tried the way described in the icon thread and that also failed get errors like icon disappears or just doesn't perform its function i.e not making phone calls,opening settings etc... if any one is willing to shed some light on how i can accomplish this please help me :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If the only reason you're wanting to change the Icon is for how it appears on your homescreen, then I'd say the easiest way is to use Desktop Visualizer, available in the Market. You can alter/edit/change how the icons are on your homescreen, but the icon will still be the original from within your app drawer, if you use that method. But yea, if it's just for homescreen appearance, that's the easiest way. If that's not what you're after, and you want to change the icon completely, then I beleive you could use 7zip to open up the .apk, find the png for the icon, and replace/alter/edit. I did it that way once, but it was just for a couple of icons, and I was more or less just messing around with things. But it worked fine. Then I learned of Desktop Visualizer and said forget about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Also, if you're using a rom that supports easy theming - CM7 with the theme chooser, or MIUI with the theme manager - you could build a quick theme with all of the icons you want to change. I did this with the Aelous HD theme for MIUI by adding the icons that weren't already themed. You put the icons in the "icons" folder with the format packagename.png - it usually looks something like com.something.something.png. I'm sure there's a similar way with CM7 themes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hermanlf:
Easy Way

I use ADW EX. It lets you easily change any app icon. It's a paid app but is really worth it for all the extras. Be aware though, that if you're using a sense rom, ADW will also replace your rosie. Another cool thing about ADW is that there are a ton of icon packs available or you can just dowload pngs from the web and use those.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Launcher Pro also lets you change icons in a similar way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnarcotics:
Well I use go launcher which does basically everything the other launchers do but I want to change the app drawer icons themselves o tried the 7zip method but no avail either the app icon completely disappears or it won't open at all. I.e. browser and system.changing the phone.apk makes the my phone go into FC mania.any other way or is there something I'm missing or just not doing right
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
The way I do it may seem like the hard way but this is what I do!

I use a program called App Manager 4.9 (google it or search for it on here)

I extract the apk I want to MOD from my EVO using root explorer or if you're on windows and you got ADB working properly, I use the program called DroidExplorer

Anyways, assuming that you got App Manager 4.9 up and running....I place the .apk into the modding folder...bring up App Manager 4.9 and hit 22...select my project, hit 9 for decompile....once that's done, I go into the project folder and find the folder drawable-hdpi....sometimes is called drawable-hdpi-v4 depending on what rom you're using.....I then find the icon I want to change...change it!....and then run up app manager again, press 22...select my project....then hit 11 for compile...once that's done....I either use droidexplorer once again and place it in the correct folder it came from or connect the device to the computer, open up usb storage and place it in a folder...use root explorer to then move it to the correct folder....reboot the device once everything is said and done, and BOOM!...is done!!

Like I said, this is too much work for some people BUT I rather do it this way because I know is done right and I don't have to settle for temporary half ass apps trying do it!

Changing Icon

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S6312 Dual sim, rooted, deodexed, working cwm.

I used root explorer and extracted secsettings.apk and opened the folder which I extracted. In that I went to res/drawable-hdpi and replaced ic_system_settings.png wit my own icon. I archived the folder and renamed it to .apk and pushed it to system/app and replaced the original apk. I rebooted my phone and got a boot loop. Next time I extracted systemui.apk and went to folder, opened res/drawable-mdpi and replaced the settings icon whith my own icon. After the phone rebooted there was no change in the icon. I actually wanted to change the settings icon fully like on the home screen, app drawer and once I open settings also. Please suggest a method for doing it thanks in advance.

Is there anything about side loading?...I havent done it before..Do I just put the apk in the apk folder and load it or something?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
yes, i do that a lot

yea you can do that if you don't have the market

my favorite site i use is 4shared.com

Just put .apk after the app you want, without space.

and you wont really need to put it on the apk folder when downloading using 4shared

as soon as it finishes download just click on it and install

P.S. If you have the amazon android store on your phone, you should put it on the tab. That's a good market alternative.

US Military and vets can now order the 16GB and 32GB Transformer from AAFES Online. I just placed my order for the 32GB model.

I didn't see any docking stations or docking station bundles listed on the site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wingww:
omg lol I have a friend who can order it for me but I have $500 amazon gift card and was hoping to buy it there to avoid tax...

I believe AAFES are also tax free, aren't they? I may just get it there... Do you know the estimated ship date?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
how much were the two models?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
AAFES is tax free and free shipping. They are not very good with correctly estimating ship dates. When it is direct from vendor they say it will ship within 7 days but my past orders have all shipped before that so who knows.

16GB is $420

32GB is $495

These prices are a bit higher than the announced pricing but with tax free and free shipping, it didn't stop me from ordering.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
and even more important, availability.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pasta1234:

Past experiences with ordering this type of thing from AAFES Online, the vendor has been the manufacturer. This has been the case when I ordered a Dell Netbook and an HP tablet.

Still no update on status. My original email said it would be shipped on Friday (4/22). If it is Asus, perhaps they are holding shipment until official release?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Has anyone used AAFES Online price matching *after* making a purchase? I have used their price matching before purchasing and had no issues. I didn't see anything in the terms about when this had to be completed though.

"The Exchange Catalog and Exchange Online Store will match a lower price (including shipping and handling) on any identical stock assortment item currently available for sale and delivery in the customer's area from a local retail store's online site."

**UPDATE**

I just called AAFES and they said they would match the price + shipping of a local retailer AFTER the purchase. So if the retail stores are carrying this at the rumored price, you will be entitled to a refund of the difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sxechris22:
That's nice, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks ;) What I don't get is that my order say's its going to ship on a Sunday¿ 04/24/2011

Quick question... What is the difference between the A1 and B1?

I see the price is 420 for the A1 495 for the B1.

EDIT: 16GB vs 32GB
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hanano17:
A1 is the 16gb model, B1 is the 32gb model. So basically storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Now that US pricing has been confirmed, it looks like the 32GB is $5 cheaper than retail. However, the 16GB model is $21 over retail so I would suggest getting a price match for anyone ordering the 16GB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sxechris22:
Yeah for those who bought the 16gb model like I, you have 14 days to get a price match, so get an ad from best buy the day it comes out! Good luck! ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eljeffe991:
So I ordered the 32GB on the 15th and haven't seen any change. The site still says order received by supplier. Has anyone seen anything different? I'm thinking of cancelling my order and ordering from Amazon when it comes out hopefully in 4 days since I have Prime. Thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
I too ordered on the 15th without change. I called earlier this week to make sure it would actually be shipped since it hasn't released and they said their release date from the vendor was Saturday so it would either ship Friday (today) or Monday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
That is interesting. If that is the date they can start shipping, maybe we will see something pop up on amazon in the next day or so.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
Thanks for the thread OP, just ordered mine.. 32gb + free shipping + no tax for $495 ... now just have to get the dock, but I can get that later....

got a ship date in my email of 4/29/11 but from what I remember about ordering from AAFES online back in the day, was they auto add 7 days to the order to accomodate for vendor processing, but that doesn't mean it will take that long... hopefully it will ship on tuesday 4/26!

and huahh/oo-rah to all you military/veteran posters ... US Army 98-04
[Eee Pad Transformer General] danon.brown:
the auto add 7 days sounds right. Just ordered mine and the ship day is 5/2
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
just got off the phone with an AAFES rep, he said orders will be shipping on saturday (4/30) (at least for the 32GB which I ordered) per his computer system ... and they will send us tracking numbers at that time ... but we can still cancel our orders if we find it somewhere else just by calling them
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Interesting. What day did you place your order? Mine was supposed to ship Friday. I called today and they said they did not have an update from the vendor in their system as to when it will be shipping out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
I ordered on 4/22 and called just before I posted
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
It sounds like they might just be going off the +7 days rule depending on what time you ordered on Friday. I ordered mine on 4/15 (Friday) and when I called they said it was showing a scheduled ship date of Saturday 4/23. However, it didn't ship this weekend so I just called back and they said they didn't have an update but they sent a note to the vendor requesting one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
the email confirmation i got said 4/29 .. not 4/30... he said "it will ship on 4/30" ... so as of right now that's what i'm expecting

but as it all goes with this kind of stuff everything is with a grain of salt...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nobylspoon:
Like I said, same with me. My email said it would ship 4/22 but when I called they said it was scheduled to ship 4/23 (saturday). I think it has to do with what time during the day the order is placed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seigex:
well I hope i'm wrong.. and their vendor ships tomorrow... that would be nice to get it by friday

although i still need to find the dock
