Did you guys apply a screen protector on it ?

If this is the case you might actually have 2 films on the screen, the stock one (NOT the one that comes with the blue strap on the corner) is really hard to see and even harder to remove.

2 screen protectors clearly reduce touch sensitivity.

Bye.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
That should be possible. Googled now...

Conclusion: We need to incrase touch-sensor sensitivty, I think the way to do that is to change some numbers (values) and (maybe) add a few lines of code to specific file responsible for touch sensor.

This is similiar as overclocking...

Just mine thoughts...
[XPERIA X8 General] X1111:
i hope to a Dev such doixanh - the module man - take a look on this thread

:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 General] milansadaria:
Many thanks for showing your interest and for suggestions.

Screen protectors are to some extent responsible for sure. But if you have observed touch screen sensitivity on other phones, they recognize even light tap on it or even from a little far from the surface.

In fact I tried to find some sensitivity param in the system folder and couldn't, so it might be somewhere in a database or some system file.

I have total faith in XDA forums and believe that someone will post a solution...:)

Thanx again everyone...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwebby:
Lately my SGS running Froyo 2.2.1 has started acting strangely. There is an annoying bug I've noticed and I wondered if anyone else had noticed it or found a fix.

In Wi-Fi settings I've set the time out to 14 seconds, using OCLF, then I set Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in". I've found that this increases my battery life by at least three hours.

Lately this setting has been switching itself back to "Never" and thus my battery life is reduced. Has anyone encountered this or know of a fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Back up data and try a factory reset .Undo lagfix first if any .

does OCLF work correctly on 2.2.1 check the faqs .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwebby:
Tried all that. I'm not using the lagfix component of OCLF as 2.2.1 doesn't need it IMO. I'm simply using the Wifi Timeout function, which does require Ext 2 Tools. All is compatible with 2.2.1.

I think I may have located the "bug". I recently installed Winamp and activated the wifi component of that. This of course requires wifi even in sleep mode if it is to enable playing of mp3 files over the wireless network. I've uninstalled it and will monitor.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbnz:
..but are you sure this increases battery life....i mean if wifi is not enabled ordinary net functions are made by data phone network.....maybe your battery life time is related to some other thing ???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amwebby:
No, because I disable packet data when in a wifi network. There is still some gain in disabling wifi even if packet data is no disabled though as seeking a wifi signal does use energy. For this reason I also disable wifi when there is only packet data available.

Now i search a cooked rom of Gingerbread that can work with my smartphone (and some istruction on what i've to do for flasing it) ... can somone help me plz? :D

Thanks a lot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] key2710:
I've a news.

I've searched some information about another device (i've an HTC Desire too) and i found a tread where someone talked about a crash with 3G after a rooting process.

I've tried... and... 3G don't work!!! :eek:

I've unrooted with z4root and now it work... but... what i can do for install gingerbread in this E120?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohkg:
Ive tried this method and it worked

1.go to applanet.com and download the latest version or go to 4shared and download latest version.

2. Open applanet type in Netflix and download it is a free app.

3.enjoy

Link to applanet http://www.4shared.com/file/PpBHl8s6/Applanet_Market_2805.htm

Just wait the 15 seconds and download and install
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohkg:
No one
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
Sorry but blackmarket apps are looked down on here on XDA.

Other then that good find.

[HTC Inspire 4G] david032766:
i cant get it to play any movies .... something about could not reach the netflix service.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
yeah but applanet is a place to get paid apps for free ya digg
[HTC Inspire 4G] texas-saluki:
heard it does not currently work

Well this is a "prelease" version of the software... I would say this is the same as posting the link to google apps :D

Here is a link to an article about it

http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-netflix-on-your-android-phone-2011-3

also a link they have on their site to the direct application. Need to be able to side load apps http://lts.cr/TY5

I have not installed yet but digging around it seems it does not work as the servers are not configured. I will give it a try later today.
[LG Optimus 2x] Maesty:
as the title says, how do i remove cwm? i want to try cm7 and i cant do that with pauls version of cwm, and it refuses to update cwm

so some1 please enlighten me as to how i remove it

another quick question :) what is a nandroid, and how do i make one?
[LG Optimus 2x] MutatedHero:
It should work to update even thou there's an old version installed. I did that this morning from Pauls O2X Clockwork Recovery. But now since this afternoon I'm not able to install the recovery from RomManager anymore I think there is a server issue.

The reason I did have to download it again was because I wanted to start som scratch and flashed the original O2X ROM and then wanted to go to CM again.
[LG Optimus 2x] tdci100:
Install ROM Manager, I was running CWM 3.0.1.8 or something like that prior to running CWM from CM7.

You can also restore the original bootloader, look up for r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned.zip

As to nandroid, basically it is a full backup of your phone. You should always make a nandroid backup before installing another ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vulcan195:
I read this earlier today

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/an...f-baked-at-best/16905?tag=mantle_skin;content

Its a reality check.

Full Disclosure - I own a Samsung Captivate and LOVE it. Never owned a single apple product until I purchased the iPAD2 a few weeks ago. The current plan is to get the Transformer and sell the iPad on ebay. I am on pre-order on Amazon and Target.

After reading that zdnet article I am thinking about cancelling my preorder.

While I like tinkering with stuff (I rooted my Captivate and use Barnacle to make it a free AP for my wifi ipad) ... the fundamental issues with HComb kills my interest.

Here is a followup to the above article ...

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/dear-google-heres-your-roadmap-out-of-android-honeycomb-hell/16940
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Wow. Well, let me just say that I like Honeycomb just fine. It's not perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as this guy is letting on. In fact, I think it's pretty damn good overall. I think (and I rarely say this) he must have quite an investment in Apple stock.

Update: The guy referenced Mossberg's review of the G-Slate as representing another voice that agrees with him. However, while Mossberg doesn't like the G-Slate, he has generally good things to say about Honeycomb.

So, in short, the guy's full of ****, generally.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Erma ...... 24 hours in and I've found honeycomb no more buggy than early froyo of gingerbread ........ found a few bugs but they are mostly software rather the os.

I believe even the 'mighty' iPhone 4 had a few teething problems ...... like not being able to make calls!?

The point is that technology is moving fast. You are either an early adopter (and therefore tolerant of a few quirks) or a late adopter living with last years tech.

Either is good. Just take your pick ..... early or late .....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thering1975:
i wouldnt change your mind because of one or two articles, ive owned ipads in my time and sold them all, mainly because its not "your"tablet so to speak

Got my AsusTF yesterday and it took all of about 1 hour to feel at home with the device, yes it operates differently to froyo and Gbread (own a galaxy s hacked to bits) but in all fairness it works pretty well imho.

Yes you get the odd force close, and yep a few apps just wont work but the majority do and pretty well.

Multitasking is the best ive seen on this type of device, the hardware is tops, the screen (if you get a good one lol) is ace, it nevers drops a connection, has great battery life and the gps is pretty damn accurate and fast, can the ipad wifi version do that? nope.

Overall im more than happy with the tf and trust me if i dont like an item within a few hours it goes on ebay, however this is a keeper i think.

And for christ sake yes the market can be random at times but never had a failed install like he claims, but seeing as the first pieces of hardware containing honeycomb have only just been released its unfair to state there are not enough apps, give it a few months and the market will be flooded.

Sounds like the guy was having an off day to be honest lol

And in all fairness the majority of people on xda will nearly always be beta testers as he puts it, but with devices running how we want them and pushed to the max, in theory what we have at the moment is a freshly plastered brick wall, just waiting for us to slap whatever we want on it how WE see fit and create a canvas we like, cant say that about the ipad!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryude:
If you let online articles sway your purchases, then you deserve exactly what you get.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
I'm sorry but as a honeycomb user I can see that those articles are a load of rubbish. He complains that barely no apps work without crashing and that the market doesn't work which is odd as it is completely against what I have seen with huge numbers of apps working installed from the market. The second article goes on about a lack of experience at google - as if the developers and designers there had never worked on anything like an os before and that there is no way developers can read and learn from the development of other operating systems (a load of rubbish, just like the rest of the content in those articles).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
If his point is that Honeycomb appeals to a different kind of user then the ipad, well ... duh. If you want something you can hand to grandma and have her launching apps in a few seconds, by all means, go iPad.Honeycomb and Android in general require more work from the user to customize the experience, and Honeycomb definitely requires more patience due to its rawness, and that is pretty well known at this point. So if you buy a Transformer expecting an iPad, I will gladly take one off anyones hands because I know several folks dying to jump in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dan76:
I hope you've had a chance to read other reviews and hear first impressions from users here on xda. The zdnet articles are one persons opinion. I've had my Transformer for about 48 hours and I am absotely thrilled with the tablet! I Love Honeycomb and have had a great experience so far. Also, keep in mind the price difference... that article is based on the Xoom... without an IPS screen, lighter and at $399 like the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jinsoku3g:
I came from 2.3 and 2.2. I bought the transformer FOR the ultimate honeycomb experience
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I am digging honeycomb so far. Yes every so often it gets a little choppy here and there. I've had more force closes when I bought an ipad 1 at release than I've had with honeycomb, and you can do so much more, like use a keyboard you actually like nor the one Steve tells you is the right one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LordLugard:
And aren't you doing the same thing by trying to dissuade someone from being dissuaded......online?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aroec:
I had read the article and never experienced the problems with Honeycomb which Jason Perlow had. With any 1st generation Honeycomb tablets there are going to be a few software issues but these should be fixed with downloadable updates.

I thought that this was a blogger trying to generate a story rather than a proper review of Honeycomb or the Xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Point is he's allowing one article to change his mind. There are plenty of reviews out there that state HC is a work in progress, and the ride is bumpy right now. If he'd read more articles/reviews and stated that he'd done his research and HC was not for him, then great, happy trails and enjoy the iPad, it's a neat device. But taking one person's opinion and saying, "Well, that seals it!" is a little rash.

At least that's how I took the guy's response about letting an article change your mind.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
The article author acts like google will never update honeycomb lol

Google IO is coming up, and i am sure they will announce an update to honeycomb

(Adobe already hinted)

I think honeycomb is great, but the lack of tablet apps does suck, i agree with that

But remember that Honeycomb only was released 4 months ago, it will pick up soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
worst article ever.

go online and 80-90% of articles have a POSITIVE review on honeycomb.

does honeycomb has it's issues? hell yes. but so did android 1.0, 1.5, and 1.6. and hell even the latest versions of android and iOS have issues.

is honeycomb beta? yeah, but so was android, and still is.

I've had a decent amount of force closes in the browser and have had to force a shut down a couple times, but honestly, i still love the tablet and i love honeycomb because honeycomb is an ACTUAL tablet OS, where as the ipad is nothing more than an oversized iphone, with less quality.

Honeycomb will get better. and The transformer is an amazing deal and well worth the buy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cjwilber:
I agree it will be nice to get some apps that explicitly take advantage of the bigger screen, but unlike the iPad (I have owned one since they came out in the UK), Android phone apps generally work well on the tablets. On iPad upscaled apps were dreadfully pixellated in the 2x zoom mode, or ridiculous looking floating in the middle of the screen with huge boarders. For the honeycomb tablets, the apps can look a little spaced out, but they generally look fine and work well. More to the point, they often just take advantage of the additional space seamlessly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Antiskunk:
My problem is with the comparison between the stability of the iPad's iOS with Honeycomb.

iOS is literally a homescreen. Without apps it is nothing; with apps it's just a wallpaper with hundreds of tiles barfed up onto a few scrolling pages. So yes, Scrolling between the pages can be butter smooth, but it's like saying "I can swim through this water faster than you can swim through that custard." since Honeycomb stands on its own even without any additional applications, and even the home app is 3-Dimensionally oriented with multiple widgets constantly fetching data and displaying animations, and animated wallpapers.

I also hate people comparing Honeycomb tablets with the iPad 2, since Honeycomb is a year behind Apple, so we should compare both initial releases. I remember reading reviews for the original iPad and while people swooned over the revolutionary and magical product (sarcasm), the unbiased reviewers complained about the lack of apps for a long time, the constant crashing, the sluggishness, so Google has done a fantastic Job of competing with the second iPad with their first attempt.

Edit: It's also much easier for apple to write software for 1 set of hardware, where Android has to accommodate for varying specifications (screen size, RAM, [currently only Tegra 2 is supported {I think} but more with be added], Screen type, varying resolutions, different peripherals etc, which is bound to take longer to iron out and will probably never reach the same efficiency.

DISCLAIMER: I am by no means a Fandroid, and I think Google's biggest flaw is that they don't completely fix problems before adding some new shiny feature, adding even more bugs. While I love the new features, I can't stand thinking how efficient Android would be if they spent a longer time fixing things, rather than releasing NEARLY-finished features.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mirumirai:
This guy's arguments are outdated and full of hyperbole. Don't listen to him.

Now, there are cheaper tablets with similar hardware: the Acer Iconia, Asus Transformer, and the upcoming galaxy tab. Nothing at all polished? Hyperbole! Plenty of things feel polished to me. Simple, intuitive multitasking. Awesome built-in apps. Easy and intuitive way of adding widgets. I could go on and on.

On the first page of the article, he only makes a single argument that isn't just ranting (it's still full of hyperbole, however):

First thing: he can't do math. 99.99 percent is 99990. 100000-99990=10. Is he seriously saying there are only 10 tablet apps optimized for honeycomb? He's got to be kidding me. I know the math isn't the point, but this immediately shows what kind of writer he is.

Again, BS and exaggeration. Most apps work great. I've only had a couple force closes. Nothing beyond the norm: even my iPod touch apps kill themselves without warning (battleheart, infinity blade...etc.). His argument about the market has some merit: it had some hiccups yesterday with the "see more details" bug, and it does occasionally fc. But he's exaggerating again: the market doesn't blow up constantly or fail to install apps. On the contrary, I've had a pleasant experience with it: the layout is nicely optimized for tablets, apps have installed on first click, and the market rarely "blows up."

Are you serious? It's not difficult at all to figure out how it works. By now, a lot of my friends have used my tablet. They have had no problem whatsoever. I suspect his problems come from the shifting menu button. Here, let me spell it out for you: on a tablet-optimized app, menu button is in the top right. Otherwise, it will be on the bottom left.

In conclusion, take his arguments with 99 truckloads of salt.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Matchstick:
That moving menu button does annoy the hell out of me, though...

Google needs to pick a part of the screen and make sure it sticks there whether it's a HC app or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
I'll touch on everyone elses points im sure with this but here goes:

That was a funny read. Love the way they compare success to number of units sold, rather than actual revenue made from overall sales.

While honeycomb is still in it's infancy, it's come a long way in a few short months. Unfortunately some people don't seem to realise that with more options and customisation of a device, the more problems can arise. Having a fixed OS that is locked down will of course always be smoother than one which is open, as there are less things to test and make compatible with each other.

I've always seen apple products as something you can just pick up, it will work first time, it has simple controls, but it will do a basic job. Things have improved over the years in making it feel a bit more advanced though to be fair.

With android devices, and honeycomb, I see more options to customise, and more options to explore, with a freedom to basically do whatever you want, only limited by the hardware.

At the end of the day, they are quite different beasts for different people. I guess i'm a google-ite, as I see their approach to their work as inspirational. It seems as if they are willing to experiment more, and release their work freely for others to edit or grow on top of. They're not focussed on sales figures, more a method of growth to show off and expand on people's creative sides. Of course it's all about public image, apple always seems to be quite greedy in trying to make money from every little thing, and google makes their money by cleverly hiding it in the background with advertising etc.

I've had both apple and android devices btw. Liking honeycomb more than I thought I would. I've not had a Xoom and maybe they really are as crap as he says they are. Just glad I have the transformer. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
i love honeycomb, for a first gen OS, it's just fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] roebeet:
Rebuttal on that specific article:

- You have to learn how to use it as it's not like a phone. If you don't like change, then you shouldn't be using technology. It takes a little time to master the new interface, but it's not a big deal.

- It feels like a beta version. Agreed, but that was mainly for the Xoom (ie the lack of a microSD slot, 2 months after it's release). The Transformer doesn't feel that way to me, yet.

- $600 is too much. Yep, I agree - that's why the Transformer is going to sell like hotcakes, I suspect. $200 is a lot of money.

- Not all apps work for tablets. Why is this such a hang up for people? If the major apps all work, then I don't see this as a big issue. Quantity does not equal quality. And yes, it will get better as time goes on.

Once he wrote "an iPad2 that works perfectly", I knew that the article was biased. No technology is perfect. Plus it's NOT equivalent - the TF101 is $100 less than an iPad2, it has a microSD slot, stereo speakers, built ito HDMI (no dongle), a better camera, a higher resolution IPS screen, no iTunes requirement and no walled garden. It's a LOT better than an iPad2, imo. And if you need HDMI, more than $100 cheaper. Oh, and you get a two year warranty, did you know that? That's actually an important distinction as I believe the iPad2 is one year (someone correct me if I'm wrong about that).

One thing I love about the iPad2 is that you can't even RUN it without connecting it to a PC, first. So much for a "post-PC" device. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blader3759:
He is just another apple lover. Every company can not do nothing right and apple can do nothing wrong. I ignore people like this. Let him go butt f*&k his boyfriend and ill continue to love my TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] joe_dude:
I really don't like the fact that Apple crippled the iPad to force people to buy/have a computer. There's absolutely no reason that the iPad cannot be a standalone device... except for one reason: profit.

I use to think Apple's philosophy was "form over function", but the reality is:

Profit > Form > Function

I doubt there will ever be a dock for the iPad that's like the Transformer's because that's what the MBA is for. Buy more, more, more Apple stuff! Add your bank account to iTunes! ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
You forgot to add that a wifi only iPad lacks GPS. The only way it has GPS is tethered to an iPhone 4.
