[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
you crack me up. sorry, but we know that the chevron ringtone installer doesn't work after the latest updates. it worked perfectly fine before that and many people used it, just like the chevron unlocker. You can create your own ringtones and upload them to your phone using RingRing7 app in this forum. It works perfectly fine for me. your phone must be unlocked of course.

and on the subject of being so negative all the time I suggest you start using drugs or hire a therapist.

if not, I suggest you buy an iphone...

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyGators:
I would need to be on drugs to be on an iphone.

And if you read the thread, you'd see that I did roll the phone back to a previous version that allowed me to unlock it, and after unlocking the chevron ringtone tool still didn't work. And yes, I suppose you all know that it needs to be unlocked to work, but the page that I downloaded the tool from didn't mention that. I was just trying to point out ways that some of the people here could be a bit more clearer to try and prevent frustration and cut down on the problems that are popping up.

I apologize if you feel I'm so negative, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Anything I post, I try and make sure it is perfect and ready to go before release. And any errors I find are immediately corrected, and posted about. Any complaints I immediately look into and address. If I programmed apps, I wouldn't be doing it the way that these apps I've had to deal with were posted. But, perhaps posting apps is a more difficult and time consuming process then the things I work on and share in my hobby.

I just hate it when something doesn't work after following instructions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
I'd have to be on drugs to use an iphone too ;)

if you have it unlocked then you should be able to use RingRing7. Provided you make sure you prevent the phone from re-locking, you can even update with NoDo and it stays unlocked. You can use a registry editor to make the necessary changes listed in this link.
[General Questions and Answers] elias4444:
Hey everyone! Looks like I'm finally gonna bite the bullet and buy a tablet next month. I'm looking at the following possibilities:

Asus Eee Pad Transformer

Acer Iconia A500

Motorola Xoom

iPad 2

Something else?

I'm in desperate need for some advice though. For reference, my primary uses for the tablet will be web browsing (over home wifi only), watching movies, playing games, GPS and map browsing, and developing 3D applications.

I'm a long time Java developer, so I'm thinking Android might be a nice way to go, but I'm willing to go iPad 2 if it's really a better device for my other uses.

Here's some things I'm curious about:

I've heard that Android tablets have some serious stuttering problems when playing H.264 movies. True?

Which of the manufacturers has a better track record for regular OS updates?

Do the Android tablets often have to reload pages that are already open in other tabs when going back and forth? (This drives me crazy on the iPad 2... along with the page loading delay when scrolling down long pages).

Does the same game released for iPad and Android Tablets run better on one over the other?

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] marusans:
I also confused if which one I should chose.

I took ipad2 and recommend i pad 2.

It is lightest and XGA resolution is very convinient to use.

Smart cover is also very useful.

Galaxy tab 10.1 and 8.9 also are lighter and look good but

ipad2 is still better with smart cover.
[General Questions and Answers] msraps:
I would go fo the Xoom this is better than Ipad 2, but still a little expensive.

I have just returned from US and the rumor was that later this month you can bye the Xoom without 3G for apr. $600. Not bad.

I myself have an Toshiba Folio 100 and with the Dexter Foliomod Rom, this is faster than the Apple. Maybe buy a used one cheap.

[General Questions and Answers] elias4444:
Do you have any experience with movies and videos on the Android tablets? Are they choppy/stutter like I've heard a few people complain about?
[General Questions and Answers] bodson15@hotmail.com:
I've got the zoom and no problems with video whatsoever the new dual cores will really help in that regard, plus most high end new tablets have enough ram to do multiple things at once. I kinda wish i would've waited for the new galaxy tab though looks pretty sweet.
[General Questions and Answers] SteveUK87:
I would prefer the Asus Eee Pad Transformer
[General Questions and Answers] dugiteddy:
If you like iOS then get the iPad.

If you like android check out the viewsonic g-tab. Its very popular on these forums and nicely spec'd for its price.
[General Questions and Answers] elias4444:
Interesting... I hadn't actually heard of the Viewsonic g-tablet until now (only their Vpad). I'll have to look into that one a bit more.
[General Questions and Answers] elias4444:
Yeah, looks like the Viewsonic tablet is running Froyo. I think I want to stick with a 3.0 tablet.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is definitely looking the most likely right now (with the Acer Iconia A500 in a distant second). I have friends trying to push me towards the iPad 2, but I'm not terribly impressed with any particular aspect of iOS except for the available software. I much prefer the base functionality of Android.

My main concern with the Asus Transformer is that I'm worried it's more hype than what it'll actually deliver. I wish I could hold one in my hands and try it out first.
[General Questions and Answers] kleanth1s:
I had to choose between many android tablets and I chose the iconia a500, cause of the better price. The Asus has better screen though.
[General Questions and Answers] nfigot:
Video playback is very subjective. I'd recomend taking a sample vid to a store and testing.

Personally, I haven't found any Tegra2 based tab great for it.

I'd say look at Tegra3 based tabs.

No exp with Ipad2, but unless urgent I would hold at this point for Ipad3 release. Rumor has Ipad2 down at least $100 when that happens.

Get the Drivers.

If your using a 2.3.3 rom get Nexus S drivers.

Install them, then try it.

if not, try on a different computer, more preferably a windows XP (idk why it just always works for me on my old XP)

I decided to test out the extended battery on the thunderbolt. I am at 40%. I have been unplugged for 15h and 40 min. I would say medium usage.

[Thunderbolt General] Paradox460:
I got the 2700 mA battery. Best uptime so far: 50 hours, 21 minutes, 12 seconds. And thats just because i got tired of the battery nag so i plugged it in
[Thunderbolt General] azbryan3:
What ROM/Kernel/radio combo are you using to get THAT? I have the 2750 as well but on the 1.4 Perfect Storm using Imoseyon's leankernel 1.11 battsaver I can't get more than 12 or 13 hours. Granted I am in a 4g area and my awake time is like 40-70% of the up-time... but 50 hours??? I dunno if i could get that out of all 4 of my batteries combined...

*Edit* "up-time" is just how long the phone has been on without shutting off/rebooting... that doesn't mean that you have gotten 50 hours of battery life. I changed to my 2750 battery at the start of my shift so my up-time is ~10 hours. I had my phone awake (using) ~5 hours. The SS were taken about 30 mins from each other so the "since last unplugged" is a little off by 30 mins. Not trying to be petty but you got my hopes SKY HIGH! :)

Essential Battery

there's just no way to use this phone without the extended battery.

I used the incredible with the extended battery for 10 months. I could make it three days if I had to, but I'd easily have 20% at the end of the day with heavy use.

Now the extended battery on TB is the same, but with slightly more agressive conservancy - utilizing the stock Power/Battery saver set to 20%, and being more agressive in using wifi and killing 4G when in locations I know it wont reach.

The extended battery makes the TB easier to handle. I had hand cramps worrying about the larger slicker stock form sliding out of my hands, especially with those trendy rounded back corners.

Not only does the bump fit your fingers predictably, the cover as softtouch for better grip.
[Thunderbolt General] OneStepAhead:
give it time guys, when the Evo dropped battery life was horrid too. Now thanks to kernel and ROM development battery life is much better. I pull 24 hours consistantly with my stock 1500. With the extended its twice that. When I got my phone I was getting more like 6 to 8 hours.
[Thunderbolt General] reg83ny:
I got the the 2700 but haven't used it cause its ugly. I'm using mytouch 4g 1650mah extended battery. Waiting for seidio or Mugen to come up with with a better extended cover to fit the 2750.

[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
Love the extended battery but I get good life out of my stock battery with Bamf 1.5 remix and Imo's extreme 1.41 kernel. I just put a Zagg shield on my extended battery cover and I already have a max protect shield on the phone itself so I don't mind it when it's naked. I have the Seidio Active case on it when the stock battery is in there and they are coming out with a case that will fit the OEM 2750mAh extended batt (which is what I have now.)
[Thunderbolt General] SDracis:
Alright, thanks man. Will keep an eye out for that case when they release it.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
I tried that 1700mah battery from htcexpress and was very unimpressed with the results. I actually got worse battery life than I did with the stock battery. I cleared my battery stats like I always do if I go from a stock to extended battery and gave it 4 days, but then I switched back to stock battery and back to normal now.
[Thunderbolt General] TheRealDex:
I desperately wish I could get my hands on an extended battery. I held off at first because I was able to make the stock Incredible battery work for me the entire time I had it, surely I could do the same with this beast... nope.

Verizon is out, across all of their warehouses. At least that is what they have told me both in store and over the phone. I live in a 4G area and take full advantage of my phone. I'd like to stop being tied down to my charger. =(

Have you tried contacting HTC, they might have one they can sell you, if not maybe you can place an order in so when they do get one in stock they can ship it to you.. If not try some third party retailers online that sell accessories, just verify it is the HTC version of the extended battery and that it comes with the chasis as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipolipolopigus:
Hey everyone ^^

Hoping I can find some help here, else it'll be another phone consumed by the bricking plague :p

I recently tried to flash the latest CM from sourceforge, but the flashing process was interrupted (Powercut FFS). So the phone's stuck at the bootscreen. Normally, it'd be a case of rebooting into download mode and retrying, but....

My home key is buggered, it had a disagreement with some rain. Again, normally it'd be fine. Just use ADB to get into recovery/download, but...

The bad flash has made the phone unable to be recognized. Unsure whether it fails before it initializes USB, but it just won't be picked up on either ADB or Odin.

It's not all bad, I can still see the first Galaxy S bootscreen (The first one being the static, unflashey one).

TL;DR: Phone is buggered, unable to use "conventional" methods to access download mode, bootloader is still intact.

Could somebody please give some advice on this situation? It'd really help me out! Not keen on getting a new phone just yet ;)

Cheers,

Morgan ^^

Yeah, I was looking into that. Unfortunately it'd take a few weeks for the parts to get here (No places like RadioShack etc) and this phone needs to be working ASAP (Usual story, right? :p). Short of taking a knife to the AC adapter and hoping that I can find a 300K resistor, I'm at a loss as to what to do...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipolipolopigus:
And now, this is even more interesting. Out of curiosity I decided to try to install my phone's drivers manually (For some reason Windows wasn't picking them up). The ADB drivers installed without any problems and I can now issue commands via ADB :D

The bad news is, well... Apparently most of the system stuff is missing. No /System/Bin directory at all (The only thing in /System is Lost+Found). Which, obviously, is bad. I tried issuing "reboot recovery" and "reboot download" which both worked, except the phone quickly flashed a white/blue line across the screen and restarted.

Is there any way to restore functionality through ADB? Can I push files to the /System/Bin directory (And all other missing things...)? If so, where would I get the files?

But, with any AOSP Rom you are going to have data slowdown. After a while of the phone being in standby the data will drop to about 1mb downloads. WiFi will cap at about the same.

Once you toggle airplane mode it wakes something up and you will have your usual speed back.
