The sound is quite impressive inmy opinion. Quality is great and pretty high volume without any distortion.

I don't have too much trouble with the stock browser. At least not any more than my laptop. My guess is that the browser is not the most efficient code at the moment and proabably does not take advantage of both cores.

I take it there is no word from Moto/Google of the SD update? I guess it'll come with various fixes and optimizations.

hi guys so searched abit about this lag and saw to remove wallpaper scrolling and ok its lag free with live wallpaper now,but wonder is it normal the app drawer lag so bad?im with Go launcher,9.4 Darky rom Ultimate Kernel 1.2 so i tryed black background in the drawer its same.So any fix or tweaks guys?
[Android Apps and Games] bart3385:
I've installed MyTrails V1.1.4 on my Galaxy SL 9003.

The app description says it can use offline map. With options to either download it directly to the phone using the app, or create tiles using MOBAC in mgm format.

I chose the MOBAC method. I've downloaded the tiles i need. Copied it to phone, under /sdcard/external_sd/MyTrails/Offline, and then redirect the app to this folder from the settings menu.

Under this subfolder, the downloaded folder tiles are GoogleMap_5, GoogleMap_6, GoogleMap_7, .... and so on.

However, the app doesn't seem to want to read the files. The hundreds of thousands of offline tiles painstakingly copied to the sd card becomes useless.

The app can still only use online map tiles.

Question: How do you get MyTrails to recognize or acknowledge these offline tiles for use?

i have a rooted evo 4g, tried a few different roms, today i tried warm two point two, worked well, but , i decided to start removing system apps, now i have no home screen, cant navigate anything, i can get calls and text but thats it, cant see the apps , cant do nada, im not really good at this stuff, sombody please help me
[General Questions and Answers] extermin8or:
as far as I understand this stuff, your best bet would be to flash back to a stable firmware, for your device, maybe the one you had before (I'm hoping you have it written somewhere)
[General Questions and Answers] cjward23:
It sound like you removed what ever launcher comes as stock with your rom. Best bet is to just reflash the same rom with out wiping data. That way all the system apps will be restored but you won't lose any apps you have downloaded.

If that doesn't work you may need to do a fresh install of your rom.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Or flash your nandroid backup.

I noticed that you must send something to sprint's email or voicemail to the vvm address to start the app or to get it working..

I was just curious does it cost extra to use this app or something?

Thanks

also why does my sprint tv app keep telling me i have to be a sprint customer to use the app when i am a sprint customer?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
What. You have to email your sprint email address in order for your phone to recognize the voice sms, or voicemail message?

As for your other app, you might have to just reinstall it.

Hey guys i just flashed darky's 9.5 extreme cappy edition but can't find any themes for it.. Can you guys direct me to a website or another thread where i can get the themes for my rom? I have been looking and i can't find any... Should i be searching for something in specific??Thanks in advance!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
what do you guys think cyanogen will do about the quiet speakers? the speakers on this phone seem to be low compared to other devices.. unless DTS is enabled.. which i think has something to do with the driver + software... do you guys think that cyanogen will implement the DTS or at least adjust the volume? im a cm lover, but just a bit worried :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
That is an excellent question. I've been wondering the same. Could it be that the speakers are low because of the software and are sufficient under normal circumstances with CM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
Same here. Low volume has been my complaint, until DTS is on. Then, wow...

Either this, or the equivalent of voodoo sound on the Galaxy S. Voodoo should be possible since the G2X has the same chip, but the driver would need a major rework.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
i really hope its just software. the speakers do sound verrrrrry nice compared to the mt4g and such. lets just hope that volume gets somehow taken care of, while keeping the goood sound quality of this phone... whether it is dts or just adjusting the vol..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
I did the same thing ugh

sent from my G2X with no regrets
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
God i would love voodoo sound on this device. itll hopefully help out with the phone speaker vol some how.. and give us some very nice headphone amplifier :]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] angryPirate12:
Funny you mention voodoo, i read on twitter a few days ago that someone was in contact with LG about the kernel source code so supercurio could implement voodoo in the G/O2x kernel... and low and behold LG released kernel source code already
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
This may be a really dumb question, but what is DTS? (I know it's a sound option, like on dvds but what and where is it on the phone?)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
It's an audio option built in but unfortunately can only be enabeled and used within the stock music player. Hopefully.the development will figure out how to implement it within the OS in the general audio settings to work across the board.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
I can't wait. If cm7 doesn't fix the battery issues then it will be a hard choice of returning it and waiting for the sensation or waiting till someone figures out what is killing the battery so fast. Definitely a hard choice since I already fell in love with this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
Dts does improve sound volume but I don't think putting it across the board would be bad. Dts increases volume because it takes every part of an audio and puts it to the maximum volume... for instance, fade in and fade out would not sound like how its supposed to since it would put the quiet noises up to par with the higher ones. ( I'm bad at explaining sorry lol)

If you put dts with headphones, it sounds horrible, so putting it across the board would be a bad idea, I think... I guess our only hope is that cm7 will raise volume naturally, or voodoo will become aavailable for the g/o2x...

In a few words: DTS isn't enough >:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] keyboardr:
The words you're looking for are "dynamic range." Probably preceded by the word "zero."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:

DTS is terrible with with headphones.

I use juice defender and i get easily 20 hours with a good amount of use, and games.

The external sound on this phone is terrible IMO. Only has one little speaker in it. I put my notification/ringtone on a low volume setting, the phone was in my hand, and i barely heard it.

I have a few days left on my 14 days to bring it back.. I'm thinking of bringing it back and waiting for the galaxy S2. summer release. Double Ram just makes me more comfortable about longevity, but in any videos i've seen the video gaming seems to be of lower quality. but it could be beta/not official release drivers.

Any thoughts?

gps.tegra is not on the phone, remove it from the extract and vendor blobs

stagefright is actually named libstagefright.so however, there are about 4 other files that go with this that need to be added to both extract and vendor blobs

BCM is not in etc, it is in /system/bin. You will need to edit the extract and vendor blob.

you will also want to run make update-api before building anything.

[Acer Iconia A500] gordec:
So, I called BestBuy today to see if they have the Transformer in stock. The girl said no but she did note that they have "the Acer one." I realized it's the Iconia A500 that's suppose to release on Sunday. The manager was willing to let me open it and play with it. I ended up buying it.

It has few things over the Xoom (current have) and the Transformer it seems.

-NVIDIA’s ULP GeForce graphics on top of Tegra2

-Full USB on the tablet itself

-I heard rumors of the microUSB slot is also an inactive LTE 4G sim slot (not sure about this.

The screen is slightly better than the Xoom when compared.

I'm going to go back to Best Buy and compare to the Transformer on Tuesday if they get them in see how the 2 fair. We are looking at $50 difference.

Iconia A500 has full standalone GPS (it's advertised on the box). It also vibrates for gaming and notifications. Screen is not bad at all.

In the 2nd picture, Iconia is on top. Will post comparison later when it's fully charged.
[Acer Iconia A500] dumon:
Apparently, transformer does not have GPS chip in it. That is a real deal breaker.
[Acer Iconia A500] gordec:
You sure, many sources say it does. I think all official Honeycomb devices are going to have standalone GPS chip by default. The Xoom Wifi didn't have GPS advertised but, I put Copilot in it and it navigated perfect. I tethered to my phone, and Google Navigation was flawless. Don't worry about it. Transformer is going to have it too.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
Where did you get this information please?

As far as i know that you need Wifi connection to set up destination and stuff. After that you can be out of wifi range you can still get tracking via gps. Also if there is map on your device the gps can work with that too...

Also Iconia dont have Gorilla glass. Which for me is a big plus for Transformer.
[Acer Iconia A500] dustindw:
It was confirmed yesterday by Anand that it DOES have GPS hardware - he confirmed with Asus. It should function just like the (edit) WiFi (/edit) Xoom does - for Google Maps, it needs a data connection (to stream map data)... but it should otherwise be able to pick up a GPS signal.

There are a few threads here talking about it and providing links and quotes and such... I just figured I'd try and mention this early on in this thread. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] GoldenTiger:
Yup, it's a full GPS chip, stupid engadget has been falsely spreading bull about the Transformer tablet like wild. The map data is not stored locally, that's all.

Anyway, OP... is the screen s-ips? I'm holding out for the Transformer, but kinda curious...
[Acer Iconia A500] Zach Alt:
it has gps!
[Acer Iconia A500] wynand32:
All Tegra 2 devices have the same ULP GeForce graphics. If they didn't, they'd have no use for a screen.

I haven't heard the rumors about the microUSB being an "inactive LTE 4G sim slot," and that really doesn't make much sense to me.

About the screen being better, that's interesting. I can't wait to compare the Transformer's to the Xoom's when I get my Asus hopefully next week. I'll report in when I do.
[Acer Iconia A500] dfin13:
Wow, I didn't know the Xoom had a yellow tint like that.

LTE future 4G

From Slashgear recent review:

"There’s a removable cover at the top (or the side, however you’d like to look at it,) that reveals your SDcard slot and future functional slot for LTE SIM card. You can jam up to 64GB of memory on an SDcard in that first slot, while the SIM card slot remains inactive for now."

http://www.slashgear.com/acer-iconia-tab-a500-review-20147156/

Fact or fiction. You be the judge. Pretty exciting thought though if it's true.
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
Gordec, comparison aside, how do you find that the Iconia fits what you expect out of a tablet? Any surprises (good or bad) in there for you?
[Acer Iconia A500] wynand32:
Yes, that makes some sense and it's how things are configured on the 3G Xoom. I'd been referring to your OP that said the "microUSB" was going to double as an LTE SIM card slot.

The big question would be, though: which carrier would allow the use of the tablet on their network without any branding? Normally, they like to sell these things themselves, although of course there are unlocked cell phones that aren't branded either.

I wonder if perhaps a place for a slot is there but will only be functional on a carrier-branded version one day? For example, the Xoom has the same space on the wifi-only version where the 3G version has a functional LTE SIM slot.

Does any Acer documentation confirm that the wifi-only version will one day be able to convert to a 4G version on a carrier? That would certainly be a plus...
[Acer Iconia A500] Magnesus:
It probably doesn't have it. It's the effect of bad white balance of the photo. Or it could be viewing angles related (but in reality it will never be that bad).
[Acer Iconia A500] madsquabbles:
all the moto droid phones I've played with had a yellowish tint, even the cameras had the tint. the xoom was no different.
[Acer Iconia A500] gordec:
It's lighter than the Xoom but the construction doesn't feel as expensive and sturdy as the Xoom or Ipad even though the back suppose to be aluminum. It's not bad but not great. Otherwise, it feels the same as Xoom There is no Acer custom UI at all, just pure Google experience tablet.

Wifi, GPS and USB both work as is described. My old Western Digital MyBook Syncs pretty well. Some review say external HDs don't work, but mine worked fine. It supports FAT or FAT32 only though. My NTSC USB jump drive didn't read.

Overall I would say little nicer screen than the Xoom. The experience is the same. Full USB is a big plus for me. I have to see what the Transformer's IPS screen looks like though.
[Acer Iconia A500] gordec:
Nope, Acer's manual doesn't mention it. It doesn't even mention that the Sim slot is there, just say microSD slot. :) I'm too lazy to call Acer.

I don't see a significant advantage of the Iconia over the Transformer on paper.

Iconia:

Pros:

- full USB

- Dolby sound

Cons:

- possibly less stellar screen

- $50 more

Transformer

Pros:

- IPS screen

- $50 cheaper

Con:

- no USB on the tablet

I wouldn't even place the whole ghost sim slot into your decision making. I doubt this version would support 4G.
[Acer Iconia A500] seshmaru:
The sound doesn't matter one bit, by the way the transformer has "SRS 3D" sound. In reality they're all just tiny speakers with subpar sound.

[Acer Iconia A500] Dan76:
I originally wanted the A500, especially after watching Sascha Pallenberg's unboxing video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg2GjKNhvWc

The full USB and micro usb host plugs are really awesome. The reviews I've read say the build quality of the Acer is really awesome and it's an impressive device! Oh, and the round standard power adapter is great (not loving the fact the Transformer uses the proprietary adapter).

What brought me back to the Eee Pad Transformer though is the IPS screen with 178 degree viewing angle and the gorilla glass (for durability). I can get over the adapter and lack of full USB... as long as the microSD card works (and it appears to).

It's still a tough call though, and being in the US (and missing the Newegg release) I haven't ordered one yet. I'm also undecided on the keyboard dock, so for me I'm thinking if there's even a chance I'll want a keyboard dock, the Transformer is the winner.

To each their own though, I'm interested to hear from owners of the Iconia A500 though!
