[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rog152:
Does anyone know what type of screen this will have? Like a PLS. Will it have great viewing angles like the ipad2 and the Transformer. How many colors will the screen display, 256K colors or 16mil colors?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dmoney94:
Good question.

I would like to know if its better than the tranformer
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
It's PLS ad that's all we know. :( It'll probably be excellent, Samsung screens always are.
[Xoom General] flooppoolf:
Forgot and i dont know where this goes and i cant do nothing im not bricked just cant boot i have bootloops
[Xoom General] PensFan66:
I did the same thing - so you can use adb to reboot into recovery mode.

So make sure your Xoom is connected to your PC and your in the adb dir and while that honeycomb screen if looping type :

adb reboot recovery

It will boot you back into recovery mode and you can do the wipe.
[Xoom General] bwallis:
Did the same. You can power down holding the up vol then when the red moto logo shows press the up vol again and you should get the option of Android Recovery so you can wipe. I did this and all worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoBrA2168:
Hey guys,

Was playing with my Transformer last night (browser, some games) and now today my Transformer won't turn on.

I fully charged it yesterday and it had 91% when it was done with it last night. I DID NOT turn it off.

Now it seems to be off, and won't turn on.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Okay, so out of nowhere it decided to turn on. When it did, it made a weird sound from the speaker. Battery is the whole way down to 42%!!!! Should I be worried?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
Try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, then try to turn it on.
[G Tablet General] Tester30:
Colleague of mine asked me about E-readers as Nook or Kindle.

He wants to get one for his wife, but does not like the screen size.

If I remember correctly I read somewhere that G-tab can be used as an E-reader.

Tried to search the forum but didn't come with any answers.

If anyone using G-tab as a reader, could you please let me know if there is some specific app that can be installed on G-tab to use Amazone or Barns$Nobel.

Greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet General] MSU_Sparty:
I have used Barnes & Noble Nook eReader application, Amazon's Kindle eReader, and the Google eReader and all worked great for me. I'm settling into my favorite being the Google reader because it syncs what I'm reading across multiple devices. That works well for me because I tend to read on my Motorola Droid X phone sometimes and on the GTab other times. The Google eReader keeps my place no matter how many times I switch devices.

These eReader programs are all free so you might want to check first for the price of the ebooks. I found B&N to be most expensive but not by too much. Google and Amazon are about the same and pretty cheap, cheaper than buying paperbacks.

Good luck.
[G Tablet General] tedlogan42:
Kindle. Kobo. Barnes and Noble. Google Books. All of them work; all of them are on the market - and on the Viewsonic Favorites page if you're still on stock.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
I'll add that I've used Kindle app with about 20 books on this tablet and had no issues whatsoever.
[G Tablet General] Lilwolf2000:
btw, I think the screen for the gtablet would kinda suck for an e-reader. Bad angle and because the home buttons aren't lit, you need a light on.

if you have one already, lots of options. But if you are looking for a new tablet. I would go color nook, or spend a bit more and go with a xoom or wait for a few weeks for the a few others coming out.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Moon reader is my favorite.
[G Tablet General] OftheSea:
Not sure if it's relevant, but the reading app Aldiko has direct access to numerous free (public domain) book catalogs. It's super-easy to download and then read them in the app.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
As he said, it is quite hard to read. I have serious back injuries and at times have to lie on my sides with pillows between my legs and such. With my new tablet, I can lay it flat on the bed near my head and read it no problem. I'd guess maybe at a 50 degree angle to my eyes. With the gtab I'd have to wedge a piece of cloth under the far side of it to bring it up to a smaller angle. It's not impossible to use, you're just going to be more limited where you can place or hold it and still see it.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Yeah, gTab is a pain to use as an eReader in bed. I eventually just had it propped up on my bed in my M1 case, and read laying on my side. Reading on my back, with gTab propped on my chest didn't work so well, as any slight tilt made things tough on the eyeballs.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
I use the Nook app, which should also sync across devices. They just released an update yesterday which makes it more tablet friendly. it is pretty nice.

No worry about the buttons, really, as you can swipe to turn pages. I don't do a lot of reading in bed, so the angles don't both me.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Pretty sure they all do that (Google Books, Nook and Kindle), sync across multiple devices.

I have all installed but primarily use the Kindle app and I know it keeps my place when I read something on my PC, then later go to read it on my Droid or Gtablet.....and then back to the PC. It's always putting me where I last was no matter which device I am now using.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I highly recommend http://www.smashwords.com/ to buy your ebooks. You don't have to deal with all the drm crap. When you buy your ebook, it's really your ebook. You don't have to jump through hoops to read your own goddamn book.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
The new Nook app is great. I really like the magazine option. It's kind of awkward to read some of them due to having to magnify a bit, but still cool.
[G Tablet General] jimrin:
Perhaps not the best e-reader

I bought a gTablet for my mom. It's working out well for her, but I don't think I'd recommend it as an e-reader. Besides the poor viewing angles, it's a bit "heavy" at 1.8 pounds. Not something many would feel comfortable holding with one hand, etc.
[G Tablet General] mkmagu:
I don't have a problem using the G Tab as an ebook reader. The app I like is Moon+Reader Pro, it will do Text to Speech and it will link up to Calibre network.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
You can use more than one reading app

Maybe it makes sense to have most of your content for one app because it makes it easier to find content, but keep in mind you can have more than one reading app on a device.

FIY Kindle APP also lets you use content on more than one device i.e. I have the same content on my PC and my Kindle. I would definitely say the Kindle's screen is not too small to read on, but to each their own. Also, you can kind eBooks on other sites, paid or free.

If you want a tablet and your wife wants an e-Reader, by all means get a tablet. If you're not thinking of buying both then you're probably (like me) on a budget, so maybe the Nook Color would fit the bill. It's marketed as an e-reader so it would be an easy sell to the wife, you can dual-boot so you can add roms without messing up your wife's reading experience, it's cheap at $250; and since it's android, you can add other e-reader apps.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I managed to grab an almost-new Galaxy Tab off Craigslist for $250 today to replace my gf's busted Sony Pocket Reader. Figured I could just get her another reader, or something that does a hell of a lot more. The GT is really nice, perfect size and weight for reading, very solidly built too with a great screen, might be a better fit for an eReader.
[G Tablet General] drizzt5:
One of the reasons I bought this was to use as an e-reader and it fails miserably. The screen is just terrible for it, especially in portrait mode.

I decided to buy a kindle and it is much better and doesn't give you "black dots" in your eyes when you read it before bed.

I know it is possible, but imo it is very unpleasant to use this device as an e-reader.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
Just about any mainstream device can be an ereader, since it's just software. Google Books, Nook, and Kindle apps on Android (or iOS) will give you full access to those bookstores.

I read mostly in the Kindle app, and frankly reading on an iPhone4 is more pleasant than reading on the g-tab. The screen sucks (which, hopefully you really understand by now, because when we say it sucks we mean it really really sucks) and it's uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time, and it weighs a ton compared to a dedicated reader, or even to a 7" tablet.

Battery life is acceptable (but nothing like a kindle) and it's not horrible for reading in the dark, while seated with a desklike surface in front of you. Basically, you can use it as a reader if you're going to have it with you anyway, but buying it as a reader first and foremost wouldn't be my first choice. Or my second.

[Thunderbolt General] astefanik:
So im converting my mom to a thunderbolt from a blackberry:), and i was wondering your guys opinion. Of course most people here are goin to prefer the stock android experience compared to the sense. But for a woman who is relatively un-tech savy, would you guys recommend a Vallina Rom or a more stock one closer to the sense experience, for the best user experience?
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
I bet a very basic user would appreciate the polished sense look. Their widgets look great and serve the basic needs of a user like your mom.
[Thunderbolt General] Busphan:
+1, I would have to agree here. I'm biased though, as I have only owned sense phones. Of course, CM is nice and that is what I ran on my eris.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
I kinda disagree..I think most of us do prefer Sense over vanilla. (as shown on a recent poll on droidlife too).

Sense not only gained more votes than stock android.. but it also surpassed the competition (like touchwiz and motoblur) by significant numbers.

You will love Sense. :)
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
It's all what you like best. Everyone here has their own preference on setups, icons, themes, kernels, roms, etc... Try them both out for a couple days to a week and see which one you like the best, and suits your needs the most.
[Thunderbolt General] astefanik:
alright well i guess well my next question would be, do u think das bamf or just a stock debloated one would be best considering user experience is the highest priority. So I guess what im trying to say the one with the least bugs and most stability.
[Thunderbolt General] astefanik:
I know this and i know what i prefer the most which is speed, i dont really care about a shiny pretty interface with beautifl widgets. But my mom is obviously different and I'm going to be goin in a few days so i just wanna make sure shes setup before i leave.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
My 2 cents worth.. go with Stock .. for a while at least.. It is fast and stable and you'll see how zippy it is compared to a lot of custom roms. Form your benchmark with stock first and then when you run custom rom's you'll see the improvement/depreciation in speed and response.

I haven't had a single reboot/gps issue after going back to stock.. also when you go to a themed rom, remember that it slows down the "zippiness" unless the kernel is tweaked .. which mean it could be draining your battery more..There is a reason why Sense and a lot of apps are monochromatic for the most part.

there are pros and cons to everything.. you'll have to try it all out and see what you like best.. that's the beauty of android .. you have choices :)
[Thunderbolt General] Nurga:
Just bought the Thunderbolt today to replace my aging (but much loved,) OG Droid. The guy at Verizon insisted on turning it on and syncing my contacts before I could leave - I didn't think much of it and pocketed the phone on my way out the door. When I took it out of my pocket at home it was rebooting itself and I was worried I'd need to take it back but then I noticed it was updating Verizon's software as well as the firmware, apparently. I'm now running 1.13.605.7 - which by all accounts seems to be unrootable. From my googling I've deduced I can't seem to rollback any firmwawre upgrades without being rooted which also seems to be impossible at this point.

Am I correct in assuming this?

(Apologies if this has been posted, I tried to find it for a good half hour beforehand.)

--James
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] raybond25:
generally this occurs when you install one of these themes without being deodexed. if you've installed gladiatrix or Ginger/GreyBlur your system has been deodexed for you. if you're stock, you're probably not deodexed.

if you're on AT&T 1.8.3 and wish to deodex, look here

I'm not sure if the link i posted to you will wipe apps/app data, so I'd take a deeper look into that thread before using it, but that should probably fix your problem if you aren't deodexed. just run that, then reinstall this theme and you should be good.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jott0204:
Raybond,

Thanks for the reply. There seems to be a lot of good info from that thread. Are there any other options other than Deodexing? I'd rather not sacrifice performance or lose my current settings.

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

--James
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] raybond25:
there is no other way to theme the frameworks completely without deodexing. Rest assured however that the gain outweighs the loss, or else not so many people would deodex. The performance difference is mainly noticeable in boot time, which doesn't really matter. App performance/general system performance are not affected to the point that you can feel it (if any, just a TINY bit).

Hope this helps you make your decision as to what to do.

:confused: I have searched the XDA site and the internet and I cannot find an answer. I am a newbie and I have been trying to find an answer for the last 3 days. Here is what I am trying to do:

I am looking to install a rooted Sense ROM on my Sprint HTC EVO. The phone is already rooted and I am running CM7. My question is, can I just flash a sense ROM coming from a AOSP ROM like CM7 or is there a different way I have to put a sense ROM on the phone?

Second part to my question: Do you reccomend a particular (Rooted)sense ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnova1:
No different way..Just wipe data and cache. I'm using Eternal Prophecy and I like it...good battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
Yes. You can flash it just like any other rom :) Just put the zip on your sd card and go into recovery. Be sure to wipe everything. Even 2 or 3 times. I can't link it because im mobile but search for the vr superwipe. If coming from an aosp like you are you may have to apply the gps fix to get it working again. And as far as recommendations, I would go for Myn's twopointtwo or Koni's Elite III. If you want the look of stock without all the bloatware go for the Sprint lovers rom.

Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordbane:
You probably didn't find a straight answer because you don't need to do anything special to flash from an AOSP ROM to a Sense ROM. Make a nandroid backup, wipe everything, and flash away.

Now your question about which Sense ROM to flash, I'm sure there's plenty of threads on that. The most stable Sense ROMs are still Froyo (2.2) w/Sense 1.0. But there's plenty of Gingerbread w/Sense 2.0 or 3.0 alphas and betas. If you don't want to be a tester I wouldn't mess with them. Just go to the Devolopment forum and pick a ROM with the most replies and most recent revision. That's how I started. That way you know you have an active developer and userbase.
