Yeah, I wish I had some form of patience....lol! I know about that too because I'm coming from a G Tablet (Viewsonic) which to this day I love, but sold. Thanks, I am! I think my wife is a bit jealous, she says I take it everywhere and that it might as well be my cell phone. Little does she know how much I'm eying that Samsung GS2 :)

That's too bad. What nearly killed the new GTab for me is Samsung, lol - yes, I was a Vibrant owner, lol....I was spurned and wasn't interested in doing Samsung again but meh, I let bygones be bygones.

I don't need HDMI out on a tablet. It's nice to have jic, I guess? But I take pics and videos using my phone so that's where I require my HDMI out for when I go to a friend's place and want to show them stuff. I prefer ultimately though, just using DLNA and all my buddies are tech heads like me so they have dlna connected tvs and bluray players, etc. Technically, I should never need to use my hdmi cable from my phone/tablet and really haven't had to.

I don't use these devices to put out movies, etc. because my apt. is pretty much connected, HTPC and File Server.

Essential? An antivirus, just in case because you never know and maybe something that backs up contacts in case you don't use gmail or don't use gmail contact sync. I also use dropbox to exchange files quickly without having to tether the tablet to my pc.

I've been comparing tabs and when I read wifi b/g/n does that mean 150Mbs tops where a/b/g/n is 300? If so then the Galaxy is the only one that will do that, anyone know?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
lol...it's sort of a long explanation but I'll attempt to summarize. The answer to that directly is yes, abgn indicates the ability of the device to utilize the 5Ghz band. As far as I know, 5Ghz equipped devices are all able to channel bond. bgn indicates 2.4Ghz only and while some can channel bond, some can't.

You get 300MBps when the devices are able to and configured to do so through channel bonding. It's sort of like pairing up RAM or a 2 lane highway....not literally, figuratively. That's a REALLY bad analogy.

You're basically getting more bandwidth because you're splitting 1 lane into 2 HOWEVER you get more accidents on your highway :), ie: more interference especially when you're in an area crowded with electronic and wifi signals. Devices employing channel bonding will automatically fall to 150 to error correct the signal and it's never recommended to use it on any network where you're using G stuff on that same band as that will degrade your N performance completely.

Hope this helps....take it with a grain of salt too because I could be wrong in the details.
[Acer Iconia A500] keroppilee:
Still no screen comparison on the a500 vs the transformer?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
The general consensus is that IPS has deeper colors and contrast and a wider viewing angle but that they are similar.

Try using the search and see what you come up with. There are quite a few topics with people discussing the screen quality.
[Acer Iconia A500] keroppilee:
I meant more like screen caps :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
lol, that's what I meant. They're so similar I doubt you'll see a difference over/through camera pics or video. Looking at them on youtube I surely can't.

There are a few people who've said they have both though so if you search you may find them.

[Acer Iconia A500] texonex:
I just posted the screen comparison between both devices if you want to look at it. Quality comes from a 5 megapixel camera so I hope the quality is not so bad.

Great tablet!

As probably one of many people with a VS GTab looking at the new HC tablets, mostly because of the horrible screen on the GTab, I really like the Acer. Feels great, if slightly heavy, and the aluminum back is really nice.

I know some people have complained about HC being laggy, but I thought the Acer was as responsive as my GTab running VEGAn Ginger, and, frankly, more responsive than the Xoom. Pinch-and-zoom seemed better than either, and almost on par with the iPad.

Now for the screen. Coming from the GTab, obviously anything is a HUGE improvement. I thought it was very, very nice, bright, and with extremely wide viewing angles in both landscape and, more importantly, in portrait mode, which, is almost totally useless in the GTab.

I happened to like the screen more than the Xoom. Compared to the iPad or the Nook, it's not quite as nice, but it's really very good.

I'd love to see (and almost certainly buy) the Transformer, which I'm sure has a nicer (IPS) screen, and is $50 less, but it's nowhere to be found. Other than the screen and the dock (which is definitely cool, but I can probably live without), the Acer is a real winner. Unless Asus can get the Transformer back in stock in a reasonable amount of time, I think the Acer is an awesome choice, and I'm seriously considering it.

Overall, it's the best 10" Android tablet I've been able to actually play with (GTab, Xoom, Archos 101).
[Acer Iconia A500] MetaMs:
Please forgive my ignorance. I installed this app (thanks for this!) because I don't think my GPS is working either and Acer wanted me to PAY them for support.

How do I tell if it's locking longitude and latitude? All I see is a compass (which seems to work). Please be specific. I don't know squat about GPS. Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnchbx:
Hello,

I am new to all this and would like to know if I can get an explanation of this term. Boot Loader. I have flashed non gigerbread roms and do not recall ever hearing about a Boot Loader. If someone could explane this I would be thank full.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnchbx:

Thanks for this info. It helped me understand. I have a Samsung Captivate. Does this phone have a boot loader? if so why is this the first time I have hear this term? I have flashed many a rom onto it. Have soft bricked it many many time. I love this phone. So will this Boot Loader make it harder to flash roms?:cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:

ours is not locked though.

Further to this question, will we HAVE to use Odin to install any GB ROM?

I'm currently on Firefly (2.2 ROM), and I don't want to be forced to use Odin once some stable GB ROMs come out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
probably but dont be scared by what you read, clockwork can brick you too!

lol

this is why the devices are locked. if you mess around you can permanently mess it up!

there is no safer way, just different ways.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnchbx:
Question #2

Ok I understand what a boot loader does. Now my question is What is the difference between the Froyo I9000 boot loader and the one that is used with Gingerbread? I also would like to say I understand that some boot loaders are locked and some are not. I take it that the Samsung captivate does not have a locked boot loader. Will the Gingerbread have a locked boot loader? Why does Gingerbread have to have a different Boot loader setup if you will?

Thank you for your help with this info.:cool:

Go to samfirmware.com. Download jm1 firmware plus 512 pit file plus the flashing instructions.follow their excellent guide to the letter to flash jm1 via odin.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Flash JPY using Odin, use pit and re-partition if you like: Download (Double-click to extract).

The firmware does not include bootloaders and will not mess your phone. This is the latest firmware for UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yz_MCR:
The best method is downloading the official firmware using Check Fus Downloader as I did. You can find it in "Themes and Apps" section.

Simply, you have to remember your old firmware number e.g I9000ADJM1

I have Samsung Galaxy S on O2 UK, my firmware for Eclair was :

I9000ADJM1/I9000O2UJM1/I9000ADJM1/I9000ADJM1

after you download the program, go to that directory and type

CheckFusDownloader.exe -c I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3 XEU

XEU is the CSC for your old firmware.

of course you should change numbers to your firmware :p

it will check the latest firmware which is froyo. replace the option "-c" with "-dl" to download the firmware.

if you need help PM me.

P.S: there are missing steps needed to carry on the method, you can find it in the thread mentioned above.

[REQ][KERNEL fix] (if possible)

Request some type of fix (that might be kernel related ?) for the random popping that shows up on the phone earpiece after I end a call that i took w/ my bluetooth headset.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
OK, I cleaned up the post a little now.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
my request isn't necessarily "sound artifacts in headsets... etc"..

my request was a fix for the following dilemma:

When BT is connected and i'm on a call.. I'll end the call and when my phone is sitting there idle, the earpiece on the phone randomly "pops".. this will continue until I :

a) make another call, after ending, pop continues

b) shut off my headset and toggle BT off/on

c) reboot the phone.

the second dilemma is:

when streaming audio via BT, a call comes in, I take the call, end the call, return to music stream, exit out of streaming software (pandora for this instance), turn off my BT headset. At this point, all audio that should normally be routed to the phone's external speaker instead comes from the phone's earpiece. The only way to rectify this is to reboot the phone.

Sorry I wasn't more specific in my original post, and thanks for compiling this feature request list :)
