[Xoom General] timtlm:
I had to come over to the xoom forum to see what xoom owners were saying about the transformer. Obviously everyone wants to like what they got. Anyway, I read these posts about viewing angle, and had to post this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055808

I'm pretty sure the Nikon D200 showing them side by side in the same lighting conditions does a better job of proving the viewing angle argument than that video does without a direct comparison in the same environment.

EDIT: the biggest selling point for me was the price. I realize many of you want to compare the 32gb model pricing. If the xoom wants to compete with price conscious consumers, then they need a 16gb model for at most $450.

No doubt the screen on the Xoom is a major drawback. Too back they couldn't had added a higher quality display.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azsamsancho:
Hi all,

I am on Bionix 1.3.1 for since it was released. I just recently moved to Europe, and noticed that my battery dies a bit faster than in US. Is that possible/explainable? And this is not because the battery is going bad, I've noticed it before when I traveled to Europe for business..

Should I flash a new ROM (e.g. latest trigger)? Would that help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Could be if you live in an area with a poor coverage. Try a different modem.

ADW EX has been randomly FCing on me in CM7 since sometime before RC1. It doesn't matter if I wipe, it still happens. I notice scrolling from screen to screen will slow way down, then I get the FC and it refreshes and is fine.

Anybody else have this happen?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaman68:
yes, download VM Heap tool from the market and raise the heap level one notch, then reboot. That and try fix permissions in Rom manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
I am running Cm7 and my wife is running konis elite III (Sense) and just wondering what task killer or manger is the best for those 2 roms. I'm currently using "super Manager" to clean up RAM and a cache cleaner on my cm7. If anyone knows of a good task killer for cm7 and sense that would be awesome! Thanks in advance! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
I have had no real trouble with memory management with either of those roms. This has been a topic of debate for a while, to task kill or not to task kill, I personally have found that Android runs better with out a task killer. Since Android 2 came out it has built in memory management which works pretty well I might say. "Personal Opinion" A lot of people think that Android runs like a desktop computer/laptop. In that you open an app and unless you close it it stays in ram/memory never letting the space go unless the app is closed. Android on the other hand does this a little different. When an app is opened it is in the foreground and has priority over other apps. Other apps are run in the background. Now if an app is opened that needs memory that is being used by a background process then the background app is closed, saving the state if handled correctly, giving the newly open app the space it requires. There are a lot of details on how this works and what I said is a cut down version of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Basically, using a task killer goes against how Android handles background tasks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neno2323:
Task killer no good
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I'd advise against them. Personally never had to run them. if you still want one, you can look into tasker, juice defender; some that others use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Task killers/managers died in android 2.1, its now known that they cause issues with the way android handles memory/processes. Your phone is smart enough to close or keep something running on its own.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine-:
I agree. Besides that, CM7 is a Gingerbread (2.3) based ROM. IIRC, 2.3 has slightly better/enhanced memory management over 2.2 as well - the garbage collector. 2.2 and 2.3 handle their memory management very well from what I see and read.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html#UserFeatures

More often than not, over-aggressive task killing running in the background can actually cause system instability and force closes if you run a lot of processes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
To add to what's already been said, a task killer is not only possibly harmful, it's a waste of time & counterproductive as well.

Most of the stuff that's running in memory is just sitting there, waiting to be reopened again. It isn't using any power or wasting battery, nor is it slowing your phone down. It's staying there so that when you do open it again, it opens more quickly instead of having to reload entirely.

Android will close those apps if/when it needs the memory. There's no need to have a separate app to do it less-efficiently.

[G Tablet General] muqali:
As the topic says, I'm looking to buy several used G-tabs. They must have no scratches and function perfectly. While I'd prefer they be restored to vanilla ROM, I don't insist on it. They must however have a working ROM and not be in a bricked state. Respond here with price, links to pictures of them etc. I can send money via paypal and they will be shipped to Southern California. Let me know.
[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
I'm thinking of selling my Gtab. I'd be looking for $250 including the keyboard case. No scratches and minimal wear. Pictures below.
[G Tablet General] ssmr2t:
Im in SoCal, but im not selling my tab.

Makes me wonder what your planning on doing with those tabs though :D

If you need any support for whatever it is your doing, dont hesitate to ask!

[G Tablet General] ssmr2t:

Good luck buddy!
[G Tablet General] Prof-KOS:
The homescreen is just LauncherPro Plus at 10 x 10 rows and columns. I skinned the LauncherPro Gmail Widgets with a transparent theme from the market. The clock is Beautiful Widgets super clock with a transparent Honeycomb skin. I got the wallpaper off of a wallpaper site because I liked it. I'm using Multipicture Live Wallpaper to keep it clean though.

I love my gTab, but I'm really intrigued by the Asus Transform. Since it's now been announced for Tuesday, I need to convince my wife that I'm not just spending a bunch of money for no reason.

I'm in Toronto. Shipping is probably reasonable enough. I've had it since Christmas, but I keep my stuff well. It's always been in a case of some kind. I have applied the carbon fiber style rear protective sticker thing.
[G Tablet General] chotabk:
still interested in buying a gtab? i have one that im about to put on ebay if i dont get any buyers by tuesday.

buying either wifi galaxy tab or asus transformer on tues.

mint condition, no scratches, smoke free home.

-missing original box, but i sell many things so i package/ship perfectly.

-rooted running vegantab, can restore if you want.

-comes with black CLIP case ($60 value)

-can respond with several sites where i sell for feedback history checks.

-ebay completed listings going for $250-$270 used/open box. no lowballs but i wont go less that that range.

let me know if you are interested.
[G Tablet General] carpecervisi:
I have one available that I'm looking to sell. I picked it up last month as part of the Woot deal. It's in new condition, I have the box and all packing materials, currently running Vegan 5.1.1 but I'll put whatever you'd like on it.

I've probably used it for less than 10 hours. I have a Formula One carbon fiber skin on it (looks fantastic) and am looking to get $225 + actual shipping costs. Let me know.

Thanks,

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samiur666:
Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to Android and the Transformer will be my first tablet and Android device. My question is what is the maximum capacity for a Micro SD card that i can put into the transformer? I am leaning towards buying a 16 gig transformer and using a Micro SD card if needed for additional storage but just want to make sure. Any help would be appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lie_ui:
I think it supports micro SDHC, which currently biggest capacity is 32GB.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
Currently 32GB is the max they sell because that is the max size the SDHC standard can support

For cards higher then 32GB they use the SDXC which there are no MicroSD cards available for that standard yet

supposedly they are backwards compatible with SDHC slots although the standard says it wont work with Linux (Android) without an ExFAT driver but doesn't really make sense because FAT32's max size is 2 TB, who knows

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDHC#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Maybe the cards are formatted to exFAT by default. Reformatting to FAT32 or ext2 should help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ookami_EVO:
would i be able to us both the micro SD card slot and the SD card slot since both are available for use provided you get the dock or would the dock slot override the micro SD card slot? also off topic would i be able to load unbuntu or another distro of linux?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
I am not sure about running 2 SD slots (Eee Pad & Dock) someone who owns one will have to try it out

Also the Eee Pad Transformer comes with one of the best remote desktop applications for android (Very Fast) called splashtop

Unfortunately it requires special software which is only available for Winodws and OSX, you could try messing around with the software in WINE but im not sure how that will work out

You could also download VNC software of the Market and try remoting into a Linux box if you want to access it.

Also there is this developments going on if you are interesting in reading

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/ubuntu-10-10-on-android-the-slightly-less-difficult-way/

I think it needs a special kernel to run but depending on how popular the transformer gets it could be ported
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I'm sure I will still have reboots/issues like others because LG obviously knows of a bug in the phone BUT...in the meantime it appears I've reduced the reboots by uninstalling one bloody app.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.widget.battery

I didn't use the widget but just the notification icon that shows battery %. I know this definitely has to have something to do with my earlier issues because prior to this I was getting freezes (screen is off and won't turn on without battery pull) and reboots quite frequently.

Since I uninstalled this junk, I've used the phone heavily and so far *KNOCK ON WOOD* it appears to be more stable.

Right now I'm sitting at 18h of uptime. Like I said, if I can get 4-5 days of uptime before a reboot I can live with it until a fix. But I can't have the thing reboot/freeze on me multiple times a day - that's not acceptable.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
That app does not come stock on the phone so I think we are wondering why you are telling us to uninstall something that none of us previously started with... uninstalling an app that is not even on my phone will not fix any reboot problems i might have lol

ur back light bleeding is not an issue its something for u to ***** about. if u don't like it take it back or turn down the brightness. its not that bad unless u text in the dark with ur nose to screen which in that case you are a douche bag. sorry to be so harsh but u could have looked at a demo model before buying and *****ing it gets old. do ur research it is still a better screen than the samold line other than the deep blacks that they are very much ahead of the game in regards to that on the samold.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
I use this app called Where's my droid power and I don't know how acruate it is but it supposed to show you where all of your power is going. So I let my phone run over night. droidpower showed that Wifi calling app that I told no to was chewing up the most power. My phone is already rooted so I used root explorer to go in and delete the app all together. This app maybe the center of all the stand by battery issues.

I will warn you if you delete the app the way I did android goes crazy and you have to take the battery out and restart but we'll see if its worth if the cell standby or phone idle stats drop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Weird, can't you just turn it off? I use it a lot and it doesn't seem to kill the battery any more than I would expect. Doesn't seem to take up a lot of CPU either.

Maybe your app that showed it was an issue was incorrect?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
When I first logged into the phone it asked me and I told it no, the app seems pretty acruate the 2nd on the ist was words with friends :-). Just because its not taking up cpu doesn't mean its not running as a back ground service which is proabably doing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Interesting, I told it yes so maybe saying no causes it to still run and eat up resources?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
I guess because I've restarted my phone probably twice since telling it no and it showed up #1 on my list for power consumption.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] myplague:
I had WIFI calling on the top of my list too this morning after only using it for 5 minutes last night. So I cleared the data and forced stopped it and ever since it has been at the bottom of my list using only .22%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] minispiney:
First day of use coming up. With the phone more-or-less idle for a couple of hours (one call, little bit of use), Settings->About Phone->Battery Use says:

33% Cell standby

33% wifi calling

25% phone idle

11% display

It's been off charge for about 2.5 hours, and dropped to 85% from 99%. Extrapolating would give 16 hours total life. ZDBox says 15.6 hours remaining. If that works out I'll be happy. As long as I get to bed-time each day that's enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
I'm hoping once we get CM7 on our phones that fix everything :-)

But for now freeze or delete things

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
No point in upgrading ... We use 2.5.x.x for a reason ... The newer versions(3.x.x.x) have problems with performing wipes and file system conversion ... That's why any custom rom you find will have the older version ... If it ain't broke don't try and fix it or you could break it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chumad:
I have not checked my version yet, but I suspect I have an older... that or I'm misunderstanding the instructions provided with the Continuum custom mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006031).

In there it states:

3. Download the ROM
4. Flash from ClockworkMod recovery
5. Go back
6. Go to advanced Onix Speed features
7. Reboot into Recovery
8. Go again to advanced Onix Speed features
9. Tweak Options
10. Enable first 4 tweaks

I'm assuming that when I perform #5, I'm still in ClockworkMod... yet I don't have this "Advanced Onix Speed" feature in my menu anywhere. Same thing later on in that same thread when it talks about the lagfix - none of those options are available on my device.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
That's in the kernel. Idfk why they said the "onix speed" part you won't have that until you reboot recovery ... Go into advanced and that should be the first option ... When it comes back up it should be a blue cwm.

Ah... thanks much. So "Go back" should really be something like "reboot into recovery" I guess. :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablokicks:
I have a stock G-tablet and want to flash a new rom for the first time. I have rooted/flashed CM on my phone, but have some questions before I do it. I did the OTA update when i first started my tablet. It is 3588 Edition now.

Do i need to nuke it before i try to install CW.8 and flash Vegan-GE? Or should i install CW .8 and Clear cache, wipe data and install the rom?

Do i need to do the CW partition?

Can I do a CW backup of the stock rom so i can just flash back to that point?

Would you suggest going to GE or tab-5.1.1? I have read through all 72 pages on the dev. section and it seems like most of the problems are minor and hopefully can be resolved in time (mainly video issues)

Would you suggest flashing the pershoots OC kernel or just using the default GE kernal? There weren't too many posts about the OC kernel just a few saying that the tablet benchmarked incredibly high.

If the Bootloader on the Nexus S has already been unlocked, you may skip this section.

.. how do I check if my nexus comes unlocked or not?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Power off the phone hold and continue to hold the volume up button and press the power button. Use the volume keys to toggle down till recovery lights green. Press power buttom. If you see the custom recovery titled: Clockworkmod then it has been unlocked. Or the other method to bypass this has been done.

Or more simply if you are the first owner of the device and are new to android you don't have a unlocked bootloader because you have not done the precess needed to root the device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Ummm your bootloader can be unlocked without changing recovery.

Just turn the phone off. Hold volume up and power, this will get you into bootloader mode.

Look for lock state. It'll say either unlocked or locked.

If its unlocked, you'll see a lock under Google upon turning the phone on
