[Captivate General] Dani897:
the plastics samsung uses are not cheap. samsung had a phone that "looks like the iphone" before apple did :rolleyes: . the method apple and samsung use to organise apps is hardly revolutionary or patent worthy and is implemented elsewhere in the android world such as motorola's home screen and the way the home screens can be manipulated in launcher like sense and others. apple has stolen ideas from innovative people for years and taken credit for it. they never invented anything noteworthy and perpetuate this false image of being a technology leader somehow flying under the radar when it comes to copyrights they infringe on.

as far as the galaxy s2 well i thought the gpu would have more power. i agree that it was disapointing but the competition hardly blows them away, even a modded sgs can run with a tegra2. maybe the ipad2 does. but it needs to support a higher resolution screen. it is possible that no manufacturer saw a need for quicker graphics on a 480x800 screen.

as for 3d screens. it is totally lame! its one of those gimicks that have been around since the 60's. yeah it got better but it looses it's luster really quick. id rather the build quality and obsurdly fast cpu than the shiety build quality htc is known for. take some phones apart and tell me who actually put some effort into the design? maybe apple is good there and motorola ocasionally, and samsung's more expensive models. but htc makes the biggest piece of crap of a phone i have ever seen! they are riddled with failing touch screens and poor antenna conections. i have witnessed parts falling off the boards do to cold solder joints.

color quality and contrast ratio are far more important than gimmicks like 3d tecnology! i would never buy a 3d tv because i can get a better 2d tv for the same price. get out of here with 3d! i dont want to here about it!

the sgs may have been premature but the support has gotten better. i doubt the sgs2 will have any major issues, it is always a curve. remember how crappy the iphone was as a phone? by the time the 3gs came out it was a lot better. the sgs has gotten better with updates like the 3g did and the sgs2 will be better than that.

the sgs2 has a lot to offer. it doesnt have an hdmi port but it has a technology to broadcast hi def wirelessly. not over wifi, im not talking about dlna but a future technology. it is also rumored to have hdmi out through micro usb capabilities. it requires a special tv or a reciver and that's not convienient but it will be in the future. it can host a hard drive or usb stick from the micro usb port. and it is the fastest cpu out there. it also has encryption support and many buisness friendly features.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
It does have an HDMI port. The micro-USB doubles as a MHL port which you can use (with an adapter) to connect your SGS2 to a HD TV via HDMI cable.
[Captivate General] LucasBrazil1984:
Not just that, it also charges the phone while transmitting full hd video. So, it's actually better than a micro hdmi port.

GS2 will be mine. Had my eyes on it for some time.
[Captivate General] gandalf21502:
From what I have seen, the GS2 beats out the Tegra2's in most benchmarks,not that really matters all that much...The 'phone' looks pretty darn nice! I have been watching it's progress and reviews a good bit, and I think it may be my next smartphone....:D
[Captivate General] tg9413:
samsung already admits that they are short on the exynos cpu and will swap in some tegra2 for similar.performance. Well... It's a great phone. But wonder if this gonna make the rom dev for phone harder since it's 2	different cpu.
[Captivate General] syl0n:
Correct me if i am wrong but the GPS seems pretty bad/inaccurate. My captivate gets 5 metre accuracy and the best he seemed to get on his S2 was 6m and it kept jumping from 6 to 28 to 14 etc. Nexus 1 gets 1 metre easy. So GPS is NOT FIXED?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
the gpu benchmarks arent all that impressive comsidering how great the galaxy s was.

the cpu owns all. i wont deny that
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Anyone who thinks the SGS2 is gabage should delete their XDA account. It's blasphemy to think that.
[Captivate General] rybateman:
Not to mention that even Touchwiz is spruced up on the SGS2. But still unfortunately a lot of iOS influence in their launcher design.

[Nook Color General] drexnx:
is there any media player that will rotate playback with the device?

reason being, I just got a case for my NC that has a little stand to keep it upright in landscape mode, but its upside down!

I've tried vitalplayer, mobo player, rockplayer and none of them will rotate.
[Nook Color General] poppscc:
it's annoying as heck, but the player is not the only thing that encounters that problem. it happens with games as well. it's too bad that feature was not integrated with cm7. seems like a no brainer. I just flipped my nook, so it opens like a lefthanded device. annoying, but works.
[Nook Color General] drexnx:
so, its a systematic thing?

I hope this gets fixed at some point
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Havent tried others but the stock player rotates and so does moboplayer if you turn it on.
[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Get the leaked music player. Works for me.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
ya the stock one works, and also the "honeycomb" one rotates too.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Moboplayer flips in any direction for me, so you probably just need to go into your settings and turn some stuff on. As far as games go, that's really up to the game, sorry =\.

But all of the video players you have listed, do flip for landscape on either side.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Hi dear,

Im thinking to get a Nokia N8 .

I know symbian is not dead yet, but it's going to die by 2013.

As Im using a windows phone 7 which is Samsung Omnia 7, I've read the news that nokia will use WP7 as their main OS.

But I'm bored of using it since it has no turn by turn navigation app and still miss several important features to be smart. So I'm thinking to get a new smartphone. Actually, I have iPad right now and I'd used iPhone, blackberry, wm and android phone which was galaxy s, so I want to try new. And I don't really care of how many apps are in the market. I need only some crucial apps such as Skype.

My priority thing when Im getting new smartphone is Internet browsing, map, and multimedia functions which are camera, music and video. N8 is very suitable for my preference but I just worry about the OS. Some said symbian^3 is not good enough to be compared with iOS and android while the other said it's the best OS for heavy user or geeks.

Can anybody help me to make a decision? I nearly made my decision but after I've read some reviews from website such as engadget and cnet, I'm seriously thinking if it's good decision to get it.

Please help me folks:)

I've got a Korean XT720 Motoroi,

flashed UK sbf then stocked dexter's froyo on my phone.

All things working well except the sensors.

I think if it can be based on a Korean sbf they'll be Ok.

However I did this but had loop M.

The offical Korean 50r's really not good.:(

So prefer to dexter's.

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.

Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.

P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

[Droid Eris Android Development] malpracti:
This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.

If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ToastPwnz:
Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.

Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.

You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
The reason they are plain is for u to

Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnny quest:
I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Okay well it's saturday now and my battery still sucks so much, I went to t-mobile and he installed a good task killer and power save mode toggler... Hey it got better!! But what happened? Still the battery life is depleting.

So I called t-mobile and said I can go exchange it for another phone... problem is most t-mobile's are sold out near me, so I have to wait again.

Also, I master reset it just in case it was one of the many apps that I had downloaded.... Actually, I think the battery is WORSE than what it was. God help me.

Does anyone know what's my issue at all? Could it be that something is wrong with my phone? I might actually go exchange it tomorrow in the city (new york city) where they have many in stock.

I've read a few places online where people had witnessed the same issue and they returned it for a brand new phone, and they said their battery was a lot better on it.

..Browsed Facebook 30 minutes

..Browsed Google Earth for 15 minutes

..Played 20 minutes worth of Flash videos

..Played Fruit Slice, Flight Control and Dungeon Defenders for a combined total of 1 hour

..Messed around with various other apps and tweaking my device for a total of 2 hours.

I took my phone of the charger at 4:45am and when I got home from work at 3pm my device still had 14% of juice left. That was after about 5 hours total usage and 11 hours of standby. I am happy with that.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2oublethink:
Hi guys,

I'm new to android (coming from an iPhone 4 - zero regrets).

I just have a few questions about my Nexus S if anyone's willing to answer me:

I installed the latest NSCollab (1.0.21) on my NS and I was wondering what the benefits of overclocking with the cm7 performance settings are?

I'm not worrying about battery life as I carry around 2 extra batteries.

Can I leave it set to min 100 and max 1400 at all times? Is there anything else I should be modifying?

Here are my specs for more info:

Nexus S i9020A Fido

Rom: NSCollab 1.0.21

Kernel: Netarchy 1.3.0.2

Radio: KB3

Also, I had the KB2 Radio and I just flashed KB3 when I updated my rom today. I haven't really noticed any changes from KB2. Is there any way to verify?

I'm glad to be part of the awesome Android universe! I just love my NS.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaithCry:
Well for starters it will make your phone feel faster. Scratch that...it WILL be faster. It doesn't seriously affect your battery life, but that's just me. I usually get through the day with just over 30% left by 9pm.

Now about overclocking...I'd be careful with how much you overclock; depending on your phone and your luck, you may be one of the lucky ones that can overclock to 1.4ghz, with stability. To my knowledge, not a lot of people can. Try going at 1.2 first, use it for a day or so, just to get the feel and make sure your phone can even handle that. and then if it seems stable go up to 1.3 and so on and so forth.

You may find that after a certain frequency your phone will start to randomly reboot and stuff...this is a sign you should probably clock it a little lower...especially since it really is only a "1ghz" processor anyway.

Hope this helps!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
Hey guys,

I have a Vibrant on Tmo, so dont know too much about things on the Fascinate. On my Vibrant Im rooted and have fun with different roms. My friend has a Fascinate and is not rooted and does not really want to. He has kind of been on the fence with his experience with Android on the Fascinate, but I kept telling him it would get better when 2.2 got sent.

So he finally got the OTA 2.2 update and now he says its buggy. for example he said that after the update when he opened the camera app, it would just close and give him an error; but that issue has kind of resolved itself. he said those types of bugs and that when he unlocks the screen, sometimes it just kind of freezes...

So Im trying to keep him on android. He is not rooted and does not want to be, so what should I do to help him? Do a factor data reset to start with a clean slate? If so, what will he loose; all apps, pictures,...ect?

thanks

Hey guys,

My XOOM successfully installed 1.3.0 when it first came out. And I finally got around to trying to update to 1.3.2. I attempted to install 1.3.1...I did the commands...it looked like everything was successful, but when i look at tablet info it still says a kernel version of 1.3.0. So then I thought I could just jump straight to 1.3.2. So, I installed Clockwork mod recovery and every time I try to mount USB storage device I just get the option to unMount. and installing is impossible. Am I stupid or just unlucky? I'd like to finda solution that doesn't involve flashing back to stock and going through rooting again..but If I have to...I guess I Have to...Let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
