[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtomcallahan1:
Just posting to get opinions on after market batteries. I have owned the Atrix 4G since the day it came out with no complaints whatsoever. The battery life seems to be comparable to my old iPhone 3g (which i hated) but because the Atrix is so much better I obviously have it opened and am using it a lot more.

-Is it worth it to buy the optional extended batteries?

-Are they bigger that OEM batteries?

-How much longer is the battery life?

-If so, I assume my current Otter Box would not fit?

Thank you for the help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
The largest is a Seidio (which I dont think is out) it's only a 2200 MAH, compared to our 1900 (ish) MAH. I got a new replacement from moto because my battery life wasn't lasting as long as it was when i first bought it. Turned out I actually had the wrong battery mode on and it was using up too much power.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsnowornever:
I have the 3600 mah, and while its big and you can't use a phone, it makes it easier to hold the phone imo, and lasts all day easily.

do you have a prob where the % do not reflect the actual battery usage? my battery can show 30% but after a reboot it will show 100%. I can do a reboot twice before it shows the actual %

I can confirm CEOGUY's report on the Seidio3200. It is indeed a beast.

I too experienced the battery calibration problem. I am now using the latest Battery Monitor Widget. Something was fixed in a recent update that allows the calibration to work correctly.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosergiosl:
Hello everybody, good morning.

in last weekend played a lot with my I9000B. After several attempts to update the version of Android to version 2.3.3 and several problems (slowness, camera, TV and others), I returned to install version 2.2.1 and the only problem that I found the version of Claro Brazil I9000HKBZTA and I ended up installing the version for Entel (Chile) 2.2.1 I9000BVJJPG.

Does anyone know where I can get the official version 2.2.1 of the operator Claro Brazil, even an older version 2.1, then upgrade by Kies?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Did you save original firmware neither do others .

Best to look in the Brazil post on here .

Possible to downgrade by flashing stock eclair rom via odin and then using Kies spoofing to trick Kies into an upgrade .

moofi. woot. com/moofi/deliciouswaffles

get rid of the spaces in the link :p.
[G Tablet General] borgib:
I bought one on Friday. Still hasn't shipped :-(

Me and Woot have a love/hate relationship.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I don't get it. There is no design flaw. Why are they trying to dump this product? If they are really trying to dump this product for a newer model, the newer model better be able to sing and dance.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
They are not dumping it, its just being priced competitively given the availability $400 IPS tegra 2, HC Asus Transformer.

Any way amazon's deal (via woot) was way better given it was $280 to your door step (no taxes or shipping fees).
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Priced better? You're saying they are preemptively striking all the other tegra 2's that are coming out this/next month?
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Well, I can think of one giant design flaw that marred an otherwise great tablet (hey, let's take the most important part of the tablet and make it really, really, really crappy!). I would not be surprised to see this sucker at $200 new within the next couple of months with the onslaught of HC tablets hitting the market at sub-$500 prices.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You're talking about the screen? I've had my gtab for a couple months now. Been taking it everywhere with me. In fact, myself and a couple others from the lab attended a meeting to share our designs and experiments at a meeting. I whipped out the gtab and began sharing our autocad drawings and calculations. People were impressed. A few asked intently about my tablet.

The point is I've had no problem at all with the screen. I don't understand why people are crying bloody murder about this aspect of it. May be because you guys are spoiled?

To me, this is not a design flaw. It's not even a weakness. It just is. It makes the gtab different.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I have the Asus now, and I guess you just don't know what you're missing until you've seen a superior screen in the flesh. My jaw literally dropped when I turned it on. Straight-on, the gTab has a great screen, but the viewing angles are terrible, and I consider that a design flaw, as in they went really cheap with the screen. The Acer A500 does not have an IPS screen, yet its viewing angles are almost comparable to the Transformer, so it is possible. Whoever manufactured the gTab just cut corners on the most crucial part of a tablet.

If you're happy with yours, that's great, but that screen ran me off, and I can't recommend it to anyone when they can (eventually) have a Transformer for about $100 more.

Kinda wish I'd kept mine another week so I could post the difference so you could see for yourself, but I don't suppose it matters :)
[G Tablet General] PeteSeiler2010:
I am looking at buying this tablet, what is everyone saying about the screen?
[G Tablet General] schettj:
I have an iPad2, the gTablet, an Acer netbook, a Dell laptop, and a 2010 MacBookPro.

The gTablet uses the exact same LCD as the acer Netbook. You can tell the screen is designed for a slightly off center nearly dead on viewing angle, and if you hold it so, it's quite fine.

You won't be able to see much at more than 10-15 degrees off center left/right (in landscape) or up/down (portrait)

It is what it is. It's not an iPad. It's not the $120 more Asus. It's the cheapest Tegra2 with great modding support here at xda you can buy. I wouldn't spend more than $280 on it, but for $280 its great.
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
There is nothing preemptive about it, the Asus transformer is already out there (NA release) and for even longer in EU, and the $399 NA price was already officially announced more than a month ago.

Thats the whole point, and I guess retailers do clearly see that.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
If you look at it straight-on, it is a great screen. If you look at it few degrees left or right, it loses quality but is still viewable. A few more degrees, and things become mushy. Tilt it slightly vertically and that's where the frustration really begins -- imagine those psychedelic videos where colors transform and turn negative. Like the post above said, it's a pure netbook screen and is meant to be viewed as you would with a netbook. Sticking it in a tablet was a cost-cutting shortcut.

Now, if you buy a case that props it up, it helps quite a bit. I'm not dogging the gTab really, it's a great tab that just needs to come down in price a little more in light of the the Transformer's release. If you're going to spend $280+ on a tablet, I'd advise you to spring for the extra $120 that will get you a Transformer.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Don't get me wrong. Whenever someone asks me about my gtab, I tell them it's not for them and recommend an ipad or ipad 2. I do that with pretty much everything nowadays. When people ask me I recommend them the most mainstream thing possible.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Well I don't feel so bad for directing a coworker to get an iPad 2 today :) She saw my Transformer and said she was looking at iPads, but she liked the widgets of Android (she has an Evo). I told her to just get an iPad, you pick it up and it's a vessel for apps, nothing more, and knowing her, I thought that was best.

But after playing with the Transformer, she's torn. So I guess that's a plus for HC, it's not as techie as I thought.
[G Tablet General] rwstarke:
Bought one from Woot on 4/25, got it on 4/29
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I direct people to the ipad 2 unapologetically. I'm sick of people complaining about nothing. Let apple deal with those spoiled brats.
[G Tablet General] PeteSeiler2010:
Well I found someone who bought it and I guess they were scared to try to do any custom ROM stuff and they sold it to me for $190. I think i got a deal, I am currently reading up on it before I try anything though. I have been using Android for well over a year now, I have a captivate and I always flash the newest ROM's that come out for it. I am hoping the G Tablet is about as easy as my captivate to mod. Anyone have a favorite ROM for the G Tab, I am looking at playing Pocket Legends and games like that.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You don't need to hope. Everything about the gtab is unlocked. It is currently the most hackable device out there.

I've used them all. The one that seems to run the smoothest and fastest is the calkulin+clemsyn combo. I use the overclocked version 5 one.

That said, you really should try them all out one at a time. Again, it takes so little effort to flash a rom. Actually, it takes about 2 minutes for each rom to flash. Try each rom for a week and see how you like them.

Some people like vegan ginger because it's the latest and greatest. I personally like the fastest and most stable. Your choice.
[G Tablet General] PeteSeiler2010:
Thank you very much for the information, i can't wait to dive in!
[G Tablet General] imdaman99:
I currently have tNt 4.4 and I like it a lot. If/when I flash another rom, would I have to load all my Apps again? I have titanium backup but even then it would take a while to load them all. That might discourage me from trying ALL the roms out :p
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
This might help.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Haha go get an ipad :p
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Or buy the paid version of Titanium Backup, and it won't ask you to install each program one-by-one when you restore. If you flash ROMs on a regular basis, it's worth every penny.
[G Tablet General] PeteSeiler2010:
Do you have a recommendation for a ROM for games? Vegan Tab 5.1 is not liking some games like Fruit Ninja.
[G Tablet General] PeteSeiler2010:
I am running calkulin+clemsyn, I love it. Thanks again for the help.

[G Tablet General] aasoror:
I think they did well, they sold out in 12 hours.

That said they only had about 900 units to start with.
[G Tablet General] cbay:
Yes, the under $300 capacitive 10" screen still seems to have a market.

Although, the woot wage ($ sold/hour) is quite low, about $17,000 as opposed to $175,000 the last time.

Wonder when we will see the Transformer on woot for under $300, the gtablet fell from $450 to $279 in about 5 months (??).

PMTheQuick

Btw: Sorry for my not so good english ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi,

To disable persistence in default.prop is quite simple.

Easiest method, using Root Explorer or similar root file manager open and edit default.prop in the root of your handset - /

This file should contain something similar to this.

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.locations=1
ro.debuggable=1
[B]persist.service.adb.enable=1[/B]

Simply change the 1 to 0

Less easy method

Use adb to pull the file, modify on your computer and adb push the modified default.prop back.

Whichever method you choose, just reboot once your done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMTheQuick:
Hi

Wow. It works now perfectly. That file wasn't even here, so i just created it and pushed it over ADB. And tada - Now eclipse works. capychimps's ROM should include this at default i think, or are there any disadvantages when you've enabled persistent ADB? And what does this option exactly?

Greetings

EDIT: Okay... It worked for about 5 minutes, now it doesn't work again... Any other ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
To be honest, I'm not sure what persistent adb does. It's always been enabled on my handset and I've not noticed any adverse effects.

Glad you got it sorted.

to

[B]persist.service.adb.enable=0[/B]

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanjadex:
Hi,

I'm new to android (former WM 6.5) and I have a strange behavior on my Galaxy Tab with the "mute" profile.

Here it is:

The sound is on "mute" (ringer volume is off).

If someone call me and I do not answer (missed call), the sounds came back to normal mode.

This is annoying me, because I want to have the phone kept on "mute" after that.

Imagine how bad could be this situation in a business meeting, during a movie, or during the night: set the sounds on "mute", someone calls (the phone is not ringing at the first call) and then the sound is going back to normal - the next calls will ring loud !!!

Please help me to solve this annoying situation.

Personally, i have not experienced this in my tab, and I do receive calls while on mute, and the phone stays on mute after these calls. If I do get the same bug, i will come back to this thread.

As a temporary solution, change your ring tone to beep each time you have a meeting.

I hope this helps.

Sprint service is crap where I work (outer areas of Detroit), so I am using Roam Control for when I get near work. Most of the time I get a tower in the US, but every once in a while a Canadian Tower appears.

Sprint has told me to update the PRL (done 01115) and has tried to block the international roaming (didn't work), so now I am here to ask the experts.

Is there someway to prevent locking onto an International Tower?

I am running Syndicate Frozen ROM with Emotionless Beast Theme (which deserves more thanks than I could give, since this is how I figured out I was on international tower).

I think that your best bet is to enable the Roaming Guard.

Now I would advise you download ROAM CONTROL (http://www.appbrain.com/app/roam-control/com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol) and force the network to HOME ONLY and that might work out for you

Bumping, since my phone is seems to go into International roaming anytime I am at work now.

Staying on Sprint Network only is not something that I want to do. After paying a lot for the 4 phones I have with Sprint (and the fact I do not leave the US) I do not think I should have to pay for the Canada Roaming addon.

Sprint told me update the PRL ("to one that is greater then 64" was actual quote from the rep) and this will end me getting an International tower.

My PRL does not update automatically (don't know why, maybe due to Syndicate Frozen rom), so I manually updated to 60676 and still get the international tower.

Does anyone have any other ideas on what I can do?
