[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Xoom's problem is they released the $800 3G version first. And only in the 32GB flavor. Gave the users no choices. Then waited months to release the Wifi version, again only in the 32GB size. They missed the important $500 price target that is vital.

The Xoom also has a mediocre quality screen and is heavy as a brick. Screen quality and weight are the two biggest concerns for me and I think a lot of other people and happen to be the Xoom's worst qualities.

And Xoom was the Honeycomb guinea pig and there have been some growing pains. I think it's improved a lot. But people still think of Xoom as how it first was instead of how it probably is today. It's funny I see sites reviewing the Transformer, A500, and other tablets and many of them will say something like "this is noticeably faster than the Xoom". But the hardware instead is pretty much identical. So people aren't forgetting those Xoom first impressions.

And then on the flip side, look at the iPad. It also has no microSD or USB ports, it focused on light weight and great screen quality, and it's sold millions upon millions. So lack of features certainly doesn't mean doom.

Is that why Australians are always calling everybody mate :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
I agree, however the speaker positioning is probably still better on the transformer than on the gtab, simply because their are at the bottom of the gtab which makes speakers unusable when docked in anything :mad: unless the dock itself has speakers built in.

My needs for a tablet are quite simple from absolutly needed to useless :

- Read colored pdfs in my bed at nightfall.

- Browse internet for information quickly while I am at my desk & posting mails & forums.

- Watch some videos and light tegra 2 gaming.

Both gtab and transformer will perform the first task.

The transformer will perform the second one way better with it's dock, particularly if I just lay the keyboard dock on my desktop all the time.

I don't really care about the 16 hours of the transformer, 8 hours or 10 hours on the gtab are already way enough especially since the gtab has spec wise somehow a twice as big battery as the transformer tablet does (3200mAh vs 6800 mAh).

So 9.5 hours of continuous wifi browsing battery out of a galaxy tab 10.1

And from the same test lab :

So basically the transformer can hold up 8.5 hours + 40% => 12 hours of continuous wifi browsing with the dock.

So far the gtab has pros :

- Samsung's bulldozer rolling with google's promotion on top of it.

- PLS screen

- Maybe an exynos version in a near future for rich countries since sammy still didn't list tegra2 officially on their specs.

- Hell of a design, but it's kind of pointless since such a device has to be put in a case... whereas the cheap transformer in closed netbook form protects itself.

The keyboard dock advantage of the transformer becomes obsolete if :

- the gtab has indeed a fatass battery.

- the gtab has some sort of keyboard dock for desk usage with usb ports, SD slot, and built in speakers...

In the end the only real difference would be pricing, but samsung has never been cheap anyway.
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
Hi all.

Can anyone explain the advantages of the 3 modes listed? I currently use A2SD+.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
omfg this has been explained so many times, and each have a separate thread on here somewhere, so it should not be that hard to do some searching yourself.

But the latter too moves the data partition to the ext-partition or if you use some other filesystem, a2whatever can let you use that partition on the sd-card. This gives you the possibility to have almost unlimited space for data and apps, but the sd-card is quite a lot slower than the flash memory, so it is easy to see the slowdowns in everyday use if you ask me.

a2sd is when you only move /data/app and possibly /data/app-private to the ext-partition. This doesn't slow the system down as much as a2sd+ or d2sd, because all the important files are kept internally, whereas on a2sd+ dalvik cache is moved as well.
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
Ok, so maybe I should have been a bit more clear. I have read the threads and I understand the general principles. I was more interested in knowing the practical aspects. With A2SD + for instance of you don't format the extended partition you have all your applications there after installing the ROM. But you loose configuration. Do any of the others preserve all data and apps? As in, after an installation of a new ROM, all is ready to work?
[Desire General] Meaple:
You would most likely get bootloops. When you flash a new rom, it is advisable to wipe everything. Each rom that has a2sd or what ever has different scripts.

Sent from CM7
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
Thanks. Based on this I think I'll be moving over to an a2sd rom soon.
[Desire General] aca85:
Don't use a2sd+ , at least from my experience (at using and flashing all possible roms..Sense roms that is) D2SD (aka D2ext) is by far the best and most stable/fastest depending on your SD card ;) It actually (kinda) adds the ext partition to your internal mem,so you don't have to have an app to check the status and info of your ext/a2sd parition
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
Hummmm... sounds interesting.
[Desire General] cgmorris89:
Currently running iNsertCoinHD Data++ and that's quite fantastic :D

Really smooth experience...
[Desire General] Pitbull_Raven:
But would you say it's faster than A2SD?
[Desire General] cgmorris89:
Yeah I'd say so...can't be certain though, its all quite relative isn't it?

[HD7 General] harvblain:
Having some odd behavior from my TMobile HD7. After being plugging in to the wall socket all night to charge, I look at the indicator and it shows about halfway charged. I unplug it from the socket and reconnect and it pops to full battery.

After about six hours of use yesterday the battery showed almost dead. Had to turn off a phone for a plane flight, then when restarting an hour later it was at half power indicator.

Anyone else having problems like this or have a solution? This is a relatively new behavior I have seen.
[HD7 General] jayr04:
Try to drain the battery until it shuts off. Then charge for at least 6 hours. Battery should now be calibrated.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:

[Xperia Arc General] kevinyellowhuang:
I've got an Xperia Arc, pretty much fresh out of the box...completely un-tampered with, no flashing done, no rooting done and no bootloading attempted. I'm eager to root my xperia arc. So here are my questions, please be sure about the answers :(

1) on the conditions that my phone is fresh, can i just follow the step by step instructions posted above to root my phone using gingerbreak? or do i require other steps pre-project?

2) does rooting my phone via gingerbreak mean i can use set cpu and install custom roms such as MIUI?

Thanks so much in advance, and a big thanks to the Android Exploid Crew. :D
[Xperia Arc General] IntMD:
1. Just follow the instructioms

2. Set cpu yea. Custom roms, no
[Xperia Arc General] kevinyellowhuang:
so wait, what do i need to install custom roms? :(
[Xperia Arc General] iead1:
You need to install a developer that will write a custom ROM.
[Xperia Arc General] kevinyellowhuang:
Thanks iead1, can you give me a few examples aswell please? and what do i do after i install the developer? thanks alot :)

Hi,

I wiped my dalvik cache through CWM but now I'm getting into a bootloop, so I restored a backup of my NAND-Flash to get the cache back and then it works again...

Why is that so? Do I have to do anything else to get it working?

I wanted to wipe the cache cause I have some strange problems with Fearkill's edition, so I hoped that this will solve it...

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] popart:
I have noticed that with all builds available android market has alot of apps missing (such as google maps, etc)

I have found various vending.apk replacements for qvga models that fix this problem, but until now I have been unable to replace market.

I am currently using Gingerbones 5.25 odex version.

Does anyone know how to update market with the qvga patched version of market and make it work for an odex system.

Thanks

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
grab a file manager with root accessfor example file expert . go to settings clear market data and cache then using file explorer navigate to system apps folder delete vending apk and dex files and throw in the one from the link below then restart clear dalvik cache and you are ready to go.

the apk is not odexed but it works on odexed builds.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7688082/Vending.apk

also this is the new market after the facelift but itisn,t the latest version.....the latest version with qvga fix didnt work for me because it was patched with wildfire build.prop
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] popart:
Worked a charm, still havent got all apps (google maps is still missing) but when searching for "video" for example I get over 600 results.

Thanks a bunch

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] -Arturo-:
It's kind of strange as I can access google maps even on non patched markets there must be something wrong with your build. Maybe because gingerbones was stripped down a bit. Anyway there is patched G maps with worldwide navigation enabled floating in Android apps and games forum give it a go it works great for me.
[Defy General] Alessandro71:
I've installed battery monitor widget, that gives battery graph in 1% resolution.

While idle (at night) I see a 1% consumption every hour and half.

Occasionally I see a higher consumption rate of about 1% every 45 minutes, always while idle.

I'm tring to pinpoint the guilty application. Using the built in android battery statistics seems to be of no use: consumption seems to be too low to be counted against other categories like screen, wifi or telephone itself.

So far I've proceeded by chance: I tried killing suspected apps and seeing battery graph after that.

Right now i've got a couple of suspects: vital player and open gps tracker.

Even if they are not in use (movie stopped and gps disabled) they seems to eat some more battery than the average background app.

Is there a more scientific approach?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zak28:
I got my Gtab last week and installed Vegan 5.1.1 with Pershoot's latest Kernel. Everything was running fine and I customized my apps and home screen etc. One thing was weird though... I read about the great battery life, but I could only get a couple of hours of use with one full charge. But then I noticed that the battery icon only showed 96% after a full charge. I searched here and tried the reset battery stats option in CWM once the battery was completely empty. I had to turn on the Gtab a couple of times until it was completely dead.

Now I recharged the battery overnight and when I turned it on this morning I got quite a few error messages and force close messages. Launcher Pro doesn't work anymore and I can only get to the home screen with the regular launcher app. Other apps act as if I had never used them before, e.g. the market asked me to accept terms and conditions again, Dolphin browser too.

Anyone have any idea what happened and how I can fix this without reinstalling the ROM?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
There is a stickied post in General entitled "Why are so many applications force closing?"

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zak28:
I did the re-partitioning and as I wrote everything was working just great before I did the battery stats reset.

Just wondering which of the two things might have caused the issues: a) not having anymore juice while the tablet was booting and then shutdown or b) clicking the reset battery stats in CWM?

Thanks guys!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
I doubt resetting battery stats had anything to do with it but having it die from a low battery while booting most certainly did. These tabs don't seem to like dieing do to low battery
[Nexus S General] x4-FAo:
I got the lg g2x (ugly phone)on release date.

Since i was eligiable for an upgrade i decided to go with the g2x after reading all the reviews and specs i gave my wife the NS

5 days after

I miss the screen

How the NS Feels on my hand

G2x is fast but i havent really notice nothing really impresive

2.2 and god knows when 2.3 update will arrive

G2x camera sucks

Speakers are to low

Two Pros: 4G and HDMI tv output

Thankfully i got a defective unit (screen bleeding) so i will be returning my g2x today.

Should i get a replament unit or get myself another Nexus S?

[Nexus S General] lambda30:
If you already are disappointed and miss your NS, then why do you actually need our "permission" for this ? Just go for it ! If we would've said get another G2x instead of a new NS, would you have done this ? I, for one, wouldn't have. So yea man... just go for it, especially if you already know how the NS is and feels. Then you CAN'T go wrong.

Wait for sg2 or HTC sensation is what I think I would do just cuz dual core more future proof IMO I do like my nexus but Google isn't what its all cracked up to be IMO
[Nexus S General] Vandam500:
The main reason I haven't got the G2X is because of its looks :p (Fugly little monster xD) but anyways, I did notice the camera was a lot better than the NS. Surprised to see you say it sucks lol. T-Mobile did say that 2.3 is not far away and also Cyanogen has been working on getting CM7 onto it which will definitely be 2.3.3 :D

Anyways, I'm extremely happy with the Nexus S and besides a slightly faster phone with improved camera I don't see much of a reason to get the G2X.
[Nexus S General] Frag x 3:
I was going to make the jump to T-Mobile, and I held off a couple weeks to try the G2X. I was wary about service at my new place, because my AT&T didn't get any reception. I wanted to get something with UMA, and G2X seemed like the best phone with 4G and WiFi calling. Now that I've realized that I get perfect reception at my home, I don't need to stick with the G2X. After reception and battery issues with the LG, I'm welcoming the delivery of my Nexus S with open arms. I love the screens on my Focus and my old Captivate, so I'm really looking forward to Super AMOLED again.

[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
I would go back to the sexy nexy :) Nexus-S is a bad ass device, who cares about dual core right now, I would wait until "Ice cream" update is out, for true dual core support, and then get the newest Android phone out at that time, which will probably be a dual core Nexus-3.0 that will be first phone with "Ice Cream" 3.1.

So get the Nexus-S now and have fun. And upgrade to the Nexus-3.0 next year.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
Agreeing with the one saying that you don't need our permission. When I saw the G2X I fell in love, but I knew deep down that I would't love it as much as I love my Nexus S. You see, in the future there will be something similar to the Nexus S, the Galaxy S2. It will have better specs, and offer the same development ( or similar) that the Nexus S provides( unlocked boot loader). Trust me, keep your Nexus S and wait for that xD

I thought the G2X was extremely sexy, sure it looks a lot like the iPhone 4 but the edges were nice and for a 4inch device it felt amazing in the hand, I also loved how the speakers were not on the back, but the bottom(which makes it a great media experience).

Still, I would go with my NS.
[Nexus S General] doniqcc:
Why didn't you guys did what I did got g2x when it came out and also kept my ns so I can switch between devices whenever I feel like. They're both nice phones I think when 2.3 comes out for g2x will be a lot better phone than it is.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
Well the G2X just doesn't have the same look and feel as the Nexus S

you see the Nexus S looks like it was the only device on the planet to run stock Gingerbread, the device is all black, and so when you look at the status bar it blends in with the body of the device. The curved display just makes it look so distinct as well, and plus you can't forget about stock Android. Plus the specs are really not that noticeable. Yes that beast processor is better but the multi tasking experience would have been about the same.
