[Eee Pad Transformer General] krispy1:
clearly the article was written with one purpose which is to bash android.

the guy who wrote it is obviously a apple fanboy and the points he makes are hardly valid

hes basing his experience with the xoom which many people should be aware doesnt have as optimized performance of the transformer

either way i heard google is releasing a major honeycomb update this month, honeycomb is new and only gonna get better
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jiwengang:
He owned apple products and he only plays with Honeycomb for 24 hours and he got his opinions.

Need say more?

Ignore him and try for yourself.

After all, all reviews are bull**** if they can't relate to your own experiences.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Facebook "blows up"? Is he actually using a real Honeycomb tablet? I would disagree with most of what the article says. I'm loving Honeycomb.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
He was probably using the last version of Facebook that added the force close feature. They removed it because not as many people liked it as they thought they would.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I feel some frustration with Honeycomb and I think much of the article is correct. Though his problem is that he probably did exaggerate and intentionally give the impression it's worse than it really is.

I have problems with the Market app as well. I had this problem with my Xoom 3G, Xoom Wifi, and now Transformer. You go to install an app and instead it opens some previously installed app or just does nothing. It usually works on the second attempt. And on a very rare occasion the Market app force closes.

When I first got the Xoom this would happen a lot. Now with the Transformer I'm seeing it much less frequently. So it's gotten better.

The Honeycomb browser used to force close a few times a day on me with my Xoom 3G. So far with my Transformer I haven't had a single force close from the browser, so that has improved too.

Other apps will force close. It's annoying when it happens. But it doesn't happen that much. For example Pandora force closes everytime I sign in, but I usually only need to sign in once, so it's not much of an issue.

I do have to reboot the tablet more than I think I should have to. It seems to get slower or apps just start acting weird. Give it a reboot and all is well again. I need to reboot daily. Not a big deal, but something I would never need to do with my iPad.

I like Honeycomb and I like my Transformer. I own an iPad and I have no interest in an iPad 2. Honecomb is rough and needs work, but it already does much more than Apple will ever allow me to do in iOS. So I will put up with an occasional app crash in exchange.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Android-hotness:
You need to look at other reviews before making your decision.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4277/asus-eee-pad-transformer-review

If your still not for sure than you really need to keep your ipad2.

I had the zoom and when I was using it I really like Honeycomb. Yes it FC once in a while and there were only a few apps that did not work for me, but as a whole the experience was awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myself11:
"And this is an absolute shame because the XOOM is an excellent piece of hardware. (...) a brilliant 10.1″ 1280×800 LED display."

I rest my case. This guy shouldn't write about stuff he doesn't know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, I think Xoom's problem are more hardware than software related. Transformer seems to be selling like crazy.

Xoom's display just wasn't that good (compared to iPad 2 or the Transformer) and it's heavier. And the tiny bezel looks cool, but isn't comfortable.

Not having a working SD slot and having to mail your tablet in to upgrade from 3G to 4G also not helping Xoom's cause.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. you have yours, he has his. here is mine: cancel your preorder and let someone who wants the TF get it and don't look back. then wonder to yourself how one man's rant (article) convinces you to make all your choices. no we will not convince you to get the TF, that decision is solely yours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tjb433:
Just read through this review, it is probably the most in depth review I've read yet, definately a good read
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Izvid:
I agree that article is full of great info and I also agree that an article shouldn't make your decisions for you, you need to man up and make them your self through personal experience will you know if you like it or not
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lord Panzer:
I like this post. I may quote you now and then.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] smallercat:
Well this is so correct - I like Honeycomb and Transformer, they are so damn good. Lucky is that I let Apple earned not even a penny from me. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Radiofodder:
I was myself really compelled by the eee Pad, but in the end I cancelled my purchase, mostly based on the fact that it couldn't do high profile. It's tough though, really tough - I'm still on the fence, with thoughts such as "All my films are sub720p anyway", and "holy **** that looks like a fun little toy".

Tablets in general aren't really powerful enough yet I suppose. The iPad2 can't be jailbroken yet, and this it needs to be useful (also the iTunes ecosystem isn't for me). I guess I'm hoping for something like the eee Pad but with Kal-El instead. I want that now.

Like, now.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] greves1:
While this isn't a strictly dev related question, this is the best x10mp forum online, so I'm asking here :)

My phone is about 3 months old, and today, suddenly, my phone started to have a problem when sliding open and closed. It feels as though there is a lot of extra friction happening somewhere with the slide mechanism. This happens when both opening and closing.

Has anyone had a similar experience with their phone, or have any idea how to fix it?

I assume Sony has a one year or so hardware warranty. I'll give them a call and see what they say about it.

Thanks for any suggestions!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farhanino:
i dnt have any problem bt with my other frends like around all 4 of the same phones like mine have the problems its like all four fnes were different they didn feel the same some felt light sum felt heavy bt yeah i suggest u call se :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] fictionworld:
maybe that's a factory defect? although I'm not sure. But yea, just go see SE you got warranty :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] greves1:
the service center address isnt listed on their website. anyone know the service center address in taipei?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] r23d:
It's under warranty, so back up everything (apps, settings etc) to your SD card, and try to convince them to swap it in store, or they may take a looong time to fix.

http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_U20_Xperia_X10_Mini_Pro_service_manual

This might help if you want to pull it apart yourself - I've pulled mine down to replace a screen, and it was great fun, though scary at first. Just watch the little ribbon cable clamps - make sure you release them (hard to see) before you go pulling cables out.

It's such an impressive bit of harware all squeezed in like that. I hate those monster 4" smartphones - this thing is clever.

*Request* Please add "iconia a500" "lg g slate" "HTC flyer"

Please get together and add the forum topic for these three models "HTC Flyer" "Acer Iconina A500" "LG G-Slate" . These are among the newest models to be released, and soon released. I am one of those non apple users, who is waiting for the right device to come along for me to get. I am very interested in the Asus Transformer, but seems that it will not be available at my local retailers for a while. So with this i am requesting that these forums be added. Ive seen on the main page that an import of the HTC Flyer rom is preparing for a port to the Galaxy Tab, but still no forums.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmurch@cox.net:
First off I can't spell battery............

I have an ATT Captivate that I have fixed by installing FF3 and Kernel 2.6.32.9 as a package from this site. My battery life isn't noticably worse than it was when it was the stock 2.2 but it still sucks. After 10 or 12 hours of very light use its down aound 15%. The battery use says it's hands down the display thats using the juice.

I was hoping (maybe wrongly so) that having the additional access to the phone I could somehow improve my battery life. I've tried the bump charge, recalibrate, CWR erase battery stats, etc. I also have 2 batteries for it (that probably tells you something right there) and both batteries behave the same.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Is there a launcher that I can use that's battey friendly? A different ROM?

It's a shame to have this phone to the state it is with a FF3 rom and faster than it was and not be able to use it all I want.

TIA, Jeff
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megatronisabeast:
Some things to help get the best battery life are:

Place screen brightness at lowest level both on web browser and on normal screen.

Switch to 2G when not needed for downloading/uploading data.

Turn off power saving mode under settings/display.

Use as few widgets as possible.

Manually retrieve emails rather than having them sent to you every 30 minutes or less.

In cwm there is a battery settings menu (can't remember what it is called) but you should enable that also.

These are some of the better ways to get better battery life out of your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayFReaZy:
In 10-12 hours you only have 15% left on your phone? How much time is used for display? My phone can usually last a good 15-20 hrs with light to moderate use. As we all know display is the number one use for battery consumption. I've noticed I can go about 2 and half hours give or take on display before my battery gets kinda low.

As the previous poster has mentioned, screen brightness and data usually are the culprits for bad battery life. Try leaving your screen brightness on a low setting, and turning auto-brightness OFF. Disabling background data in "accounts and sync" setting is also a very good way to help with battery life. Also, making sure your GPS is OFF is another good way to save some juice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmurch@cox.net:
Is there an application that will tell me this other than the about->battery ? Currently my info is limited to percentage of total battery useage and is showing that display is 96%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
tap that it will take you to a more detailed screen with the time used...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmurch@cox.net:
Flashed ROM (FF3) while batt low?

I'm pretty sure the batt was not 100% when I flashed to FF3 and I did not clear everything out before either. If this is a potential problem with batt life can I fix this short of reflashing on a full batt?

Is going into CWR and restoring from a backup going to do the same thing as reflashing FF3 from the batteries perspective if I clear everything first?

TIA, Jeff

[Desire General] ndesire:
Hi All,

I got a slight problem. I tried to perform the S-Off Procedure from Alpharev.

Unfortunately, I didn't consider that I had a DATA2EXT Rom running. So S-OFF

procedure stuck at "Waiting for flashing...". After one hour I disconnected the

device. After that it just boots into FASTBOOT. When I try to flash my NANDROID backup from fastboot I got the error message: "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)".

Any ideas how I can recover my device?

Thanks for the help.

[Desire General] ndesire:
Hi All,

problem resolved. I did succeed to get into recovery mode.

I had to do it blind since I also have the problem that my

screen is black in HBOOT and RECOVERY. (That's another story).

Fortunately, with phone connected to my PC and the

great tool androidscreencast, I could restore my last

nandroid backup. Now phone is back to life.

I'm still S-ON. So for next try (S-OFF) I'm going to make sure that

I run from a rooted stock rom. But not today ;-).

Cheers

i bought a htc t8285 from ebay. the seller flashed the rom. when i got the phone, it became t8282. does someone knows how do i change the what rom back to t8285?
[Touch HD General] francis85:
I have a T8285 (Telstra)

It is only ever gonna show up as T8285 with the Telstra ROM, any other will show as a T8282. It does not affect which wireless band the phone can listen to, so you are fine. That is the only difference between the 82 and 85 models btw.

If you wanna be sure you have a T8285, all you need to know is look for the BLAC120 marking below the battery underneath the bluetooth logo.. and the obvious telstra logo on the back cover :)
[Touch HD General] tongtech@yahoo.com:
i am in us. when it said t8282, i got "E" signal on ATT data service. speed very slow. so i go to re flashed the new rom, it said T8285. but i can not connect to ATT data service. now i have to look for the new ROM. on the back side of battery, it has not show the icon.
[Touch HD General] francis85:
In some roms you will have to manually configure the APN. The phone will be able to use the 850mhz band no matter the rom.

Most of the time there is a connection setup wizard that pops up after the first boot that does that configuration for you. I had no problems getting on 3G in Montreal with my Touch HD and just about any rom I have ever tried on my T8285.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahall1988:
Hi i purchased a unlock code for my HTC Wildfire at the beginning of the year and i cant find email with code in.

i am now giving the phone away and want to hard reset using this method:

Turn the power off. If your HTC Wildfire is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it

Hold the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock

Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

If i do this will it become locked again.

i have a wildfire running froyo and was originally locked on tesco mobile

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quirino77:
I live at Brazil.

My father went to USA and bought me a Wildfire UNLOCKED at J&R (i have the receipt).

He is not used to mobiles, so he turned the phone on and said: "it´s working".

When a took the phone i realised that it is locked. I believe by "Three", since it's logo shows up when turning on.

J&R refuse to replace the phone.

How could i get it unlocked? At Three site said i could buy the code. But i don´t have a Three phone to call them.

Do somebody knows how much does it cost? Is there any other way to buy, not calling them?

And most important: does the phone got permanently locked if i enter a wrong unlock code? I had tried some codes from my sim card (i thought it was what the phone was asking for).

[General Questions and Answers] jasonchiu:
Hi Guys,

I lost my phone one night. I am not in hope of finding it, but I do not want thief to profit from the occasion.

I have the IMEI number still at hand. Is there anything that can be done?

(NB: I did not have a phone/sim lock on the phone and the thief deleted the findmyphone function WP7 has)

Many thanks in advance,

Jason
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
If you really want to pursue it, you can ask your cell phone company to try and give you a rough location of where it is through cell triangulation, although that may be difficult to get them to do. Otherwise, you can tell them to Blacklist the IMEI number so that it can't be used on any networks.
[General Questions and Answers] jasonchiu:
Thanks for the tips.

I tried to block the IMEI in Hong Kong, but my service providor (Smartone Vodafone) said they dont provide such service.

When I went back to the UK, I called up T-Mobile and someone from an India call centre said they blocked it for me, but the "reassuringly" told me it can be easily unlocked by someone who knows mobiles well...

Are there any sites or places I can submit the IMEI number to?

Many thanks,

Jason
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It can't be "unlocked". The person would have to spoof or change the IMEI number, something which I've been able to ever do on 1 phone (original iPhone). But the reason I did it is not because it was stolen, but because I didn't want a data plan that AT&T was forcing on its customers, so I made the phone appear as another phone. I don't think it can be done easily on most phones.

I don't think there are any websites you can submit the IMEI number to. I believe there's a global IMEI blacklist database that most responsible carriers choose to enforce.
[General Questions and Answers] jasonchiu:
Cheers for the details.

I too was shocked that Smartone Vodafone did not offer IMEI blocking.

I hope t-mobile really did block the IMEI number.

I was a bit sceptic as all the CS Agent did was take note it and that was it. She didnt ask for any details about me either.
