[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The Jones:
Got mine today too.

I am fairly impressed and looking forward to taking it out and about with me tomorrow. I am curious to see if I can get 2 days battery life out of it or not.

The screen is wonderful. No other word for it. I used to think Super AMOLED was the best, but this is the best screen I have seen on an Android device.

The browser is excellent. Fast, stable, easy to use.

I find the pen fairly good. Though I keep pressing the buttons when I dont mean to. I cant wait to use it in a meeting!

Using Kindle on the device seems to be a great experience. The inbuilt ebook reader is really nice, but I am a Kindle user.

The updated HTC mail app is lovely as is the weather and calendar. But the software is not particularly tablet friendly otherwise. I like Sense and am using friend stream for the first time on at HTC device (this is my 3rd) and it works well.

The form factor is excellent. Easy to hold in one hand. It is quite a bit heavier than a Kindle despite not being much larger, but I am sure I could hold it all day without too much trouble unlike a 10" 700g device like the ipad2.

It's not all great though. I have had a few crashes through the day and the performance is not always silky smooth. I find the volume buttons a bit rattly and whilst the speakers are good, they are really not that good. There is no search button which I definitely miss and it is a major fingerprint magnet.

Overall, I am really pleased with the device so far. Feel free to ask any questions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bigmuzzy:
Hi Onkel,

Can you say a bit more about how writing with the pen feels like? The reviews are all saying that it's not that great for regular note taking (as opposed to doodling/drawing), especially in comparison with wacom digitizers on windows tablets. I have a win tablet right now and this makes me a bit :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OnkelAlbert:
hard to tell for me, as my personal tablet experiences come from an IBM Thinkpad a couple of years ago.

Generally, I guess the Flyer will be for short note taking rather than replacing a tablet Pc. There is no handwriting recognition for the Flyer yet, and even if it will be available later, I think the handwriting quality I produce on the device will not be good enough.

I think there are many scenarios where the pen is helpful though, I had a Pdf document to comment today and the Flyer was a dream to use. Other example, for our corporate website I do a lot of commenting on improvements and bugs, the screenshot & comment feature with the pen is simply wonderful...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kborer22:
thoughts on performance?

i know you both mentioned performance, one as being excellent and the other as being ok. After spending more time with the device do you have any more details on the performance? One mentioned google maps being slower than on the xoom, slow enough to be an issue?

I am a little worried about purchasing a device that is already outdated, especially when there are rumors of amazing releasing both dual core and quad core tablets before the end of the year, the scribe tech has be pretty excited about this tablet, but i think i'm reeling in my expectations after reading some reviews.

thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OnkelAlbert:
That was me. If you start to go into 3D and then turn the map with the finger, I see a difference. No issue at all. As usual, once you have used a device like the Xoom, which is setting a new standard as I think, you get used to it.

This is a 1.5 ghz device and couple of months ago I thought 1 ghz is all I will ever need :)

I an very pleased with the performance up to now, and I started tons of apps yesterday and it works great. SlideIT keyboard, which I am using right now, is a great performance test and it works great also.

The bigger question for you will be whether the pen turns out to be a toy or an important tool. I am not sure yet...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The Jones:
I would describe the performance as similar overall to my Desire HD. It is all the speed you would need, but not the fastest thing out there. I have found it does bog down sometimes which a dual core might not, but nothing to cause me concern personally.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bigmuzzy:
Thanks. I mainly want to use it as a substitute notebook for my college classes so how well it emulates pen and paper is something to think about.

Any impressions on the battery life? The reviews say you get a full day and more of standard use. Is the only batter hog video playback (the stated 4 hours of playback time)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veethree:
I'm also looking forward to usage of the pen and found your PDF comment interesting. Did you have to take a screenshot and work with that, or could you open the PDF in the book reader, which I know has added pen applications?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OnkelAlbert:
It was a document which I recieved as an attachment. I opened it, wrote on it, press save, email. Simply great, no screenshot necessary...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OnkelAlbert:
regarding battery life, I am on a conference all day and the Flyer was with me all day, pushing and answering emails, taking notes and doing Demos for my collegues...

after half day battery says 76%. So I guess running out of battery during the day seems impossible to me, as long as you don't spend most of the day with Angry Birds and movies :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Smartphoner:
Did anyone manage to use the flyer in making gsm calls???!!!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ahm1010:
Hi

Wants about video streaming to TV , does it have HDMI via USB cable or DLNA . HTC web site in official specs does not mention anything about it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The Jones:
It definitely supports DLNA although I havent tried to get it working yet. I have heard there is meant to be HDMI out through the USB port and the fact the port is Ext-MicroUSB suggests as much, but I haven't seen the cable for sale anywhere.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jeroenpico:
I've seen some EXT-microUSB tot hdmi cables somewhere... So yes, it'll be able to work trough usb port :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:
The problem is that I now use my Flyer too much! Love the note taking and ebook reading. The size is perfect. So the battery does last a day, but I always give a quick charge during the day just in case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kenkaw:
Hi. With regards to the Evernote integration on the Flyer, is it possible to maintain a copy of the created notes locally on the Flyer in addition to having them synced with Evernotes on the web ?

Having a local copy on the device will definitely speed up the retrieval of created notes and give you access to these notes when there is no internet access available.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bigmout:
A suggestion and a question.

The suggestion is for those who keep clicking the button inadvertently. There are pen/pencil grips you can buy that will cover the button so you have to press down firmly to activate it.

The question is whether there are any options to control pen vs. finger input. For example, on my tablet, I can set the N-Trig control to "auto." At this setting, the tablet will recognize finger input until I use the pen, at which point it will switch to pen-only input. When I want to use my finger again, I just tap twice on the screen with my finger. That way there's never any palm recognition issues.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] YOSEFE:
As others have said elsewhere, NO you don't even have the dial button or app in the list of applications to make a gsm call.

Perhaps when the flyer is rooted we will have some devs working on that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tbo-art:
How is the multitouch? How much points does it have? Could you test it for me? :o I want to buy one too.

Thanks Tbo-art

Be aware if you are too happy with Dropbox!

I hope you are not pushing your too private info to DropBox...undo it if you already did...Good luc!

[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I don't think someone else is uploading the same "special" photo of me to dropbox to share among my boxes, so I should be safe:)
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
I was warning people about them weeks ago. But that was because they had admitted they will share your files and info about them with just about anyone with some semblance of official office.

That was enough for me. I removed all files, cancelled my account and uninstalled everywhere.

Read their T&C and you will too ... if you are smart.
[G Tablet General] Russellah:
isn't this only important for those with sensitive data.

all i store is music, movies and school projects.

who cares if someone sees that?
[G Tablet General] asankasl:
Good to know. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] DiGiTY:
honestly, what files can you possibly have stored there that authorities can use as evidence against you in a court of law?

and second why warn people? unless you believe a good percentage of people on this forum are criminals in some shape, way or form AND you're okay with crimes they have or will commit like pedophiles or identity thieves... not cool!
[G Tablet General] nunjabusiness:
Actually, yeah - according to current IP laws - I think quite a few are. I can well imagine that many here have some app, program, song, movie or something that is not 100% legal.

As to perverts and thieves, this is not that kind of forum, so I think there are few of them here. However, just sharing an APK that is not 100% free is a crime, according to the letter of the law.

The reason I say anything at all is that quite a few otherwise good people are suffering from our current archaic and antiquated legal system.

Ignorance of the real world and how it really works is also not cool, as it can land you in jail.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
I know this might be viewed as crazy, but unencrypted cloud storage should be viewed as unsecured no matter who provides it. Because it is.

I had heard about the dropbox thing a month ago, and was not in the least surprised. Needless to say it had no impact at all on my use of dropbox.
[G Tablet General] DiGiTY:
Trust me; they can give a rat's ass about IP laws. When I got busted running a server, the FBI were only called in because they thought I had child porn too. When they realized their mistake... nothing. All those IP law infractions in my possession and nothing happened. Their real concern is people using technology like this to further their crimes against REAL people. I say go ahead and peek.
[EVO Shift 4G General] RickNY1971:
Anyone else notice some weird behavior during phone calls with the handset? I noticed during two calls today that about 2 minutes into each call, I felt the phone vibrate and make a noise -- and when I looked at the phone, it was as if the voice search button was hit each time - and an error saying 'error processing request' or something to that effect..

Im using CM7 7.0.3.1 along with the x99 kernel.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofserenity:
So I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4, and now when I search for mobile networks(network operators for voice, not data), only Rogers Wireless is visible...

I'm with Koodo(Telus), so obviously I can't connect to it. Can someone please shed some light on what might be wrong? Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyild1:
So are you connecting to a Rogers tower and roaming, or you have no data or what? Just because they all say rogers, doesnt mean they dont work. My phone used to list Sasktel for all towers (Bell, Telus or rogers) but i could connect to them

So what is the issue? If your data isnt working, maybe after the upgrade you have to put ur APN settings back in for data. I usually have to when i upgrade as Slacktels stuff isnt in there

Maybe a reboot will help? Switch to airplane mode and back? Maybe your in an area where Koodoo is weak but rogers isnt. Just spitballing here!

Cheers!

Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't support some legacy onboard wireless chipsets... Or should I say it's the other way around? Anyway there's some issue or other with proprietary drivers doing their own thing and refusing to do anything in 11.04. You should probably search their forums for your particular wifi chipset and see if anyone's having problems with it. Otherwise get 10.10.

is there any way to disable volume buttons to wake the phone up when using no screen lock?

[Defy General] shorticus:
Is it just me or does that sound like a rather mean-spirited reply? For what it's worth, I've never heard of a Defy that wakes using the volume button - wouldn't mind that functionality, though. Perhaps we could swap?
[Defy General] wout1:
I only wanted him to know the volume buttons don't wake up the phone with CM7.

Can it be an option somewhere in Froyo?
[Defy General] piaci:
no, I wasn't trying to be rude.

volume buttons wake the phone only when no screen lock is on.

actually to turn off screen lock I have to use the app called 'no lock'.

in this case pressing the top turn on/off button wakes the phone and no extra swipe nor pin asked.

however the same thing what volume button do but this never happend until I flashed the nordic one.

as I mentioned I was playing with the *.kl files but didn't make any changes.

what I'm trying to do is lock/unlock the phone by the turn on/off button only.

You can push the Samsung TW music apk into system/apps folder with root explorer if you know how to do so. You must remove the existing ASOP music apk out of there first. You may want the copy it to your sdcard for backup first.

Didn't work... it flagged and installed ok. But when I booted up it was as nothing happened.

Ok sorry I'm new to this. When you say " push" to system/ apps. What is that? And is there a special way to delete aosp music?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] knucklesmckay:
When I say push, I mean copy and paste apk files into system/app folder on your phone. You need to do this with the root explorer app in r/w (read write) mode. You will see the other music apk in the system/app folder.

In root explorer (make sure it is set as r/w)...

1. copy and paste the tw musicplayer apk into the system/app folder on your phone. Here is the apk file http://db.tt/CqMdGtT

2. copy the music apk (the one we are removing), and paste it to your sdcard somewhere. Now you have a backup of it.

3. Go back into system/app folder and delete music apk. You should now have only one music apk in that folder, the TW music player apk.

4. set root explorer back to r/o (read only)

5. reboot, when it is booted up you should now have music player in your app drawer.

*Warning this only works with certain apks. If you delete certain system files from system/app folder it may screw things up. Always have a backup of your system through clockwork before you push things.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] garywojdan81:
I have done this numerous times with this app & others as well and I had this same result.

But its not working on comm.rom1.3...

Glad this method does still work. I use AndRootFile as a file manager and it mounts r/w automatically when you select to run it as superuser. Followed the same process that has always worked for me and it does put the apk in system/app, it just never loads an icon in the drawer or opens.

[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
Im sorry to ask this (its really noobish..) but im getting my optimus 2x tomorrow and would like to install a custom rom on it simply because of most reports being that LG stock is crap! Ive had a Htc HD2 for ages now and am used to flashing that and android for it but it seems that flashing for the optimus is different?

Ive been looking but i havent really found anything to help me grasp the basics on flashing the optimus so id appreciate if anyone could just give me a very basic guide for example:

1. Download this program

2. Run the program and then select your rom to flash

(something like that?)

And also the main question i have is, is there a way to undo all the flashes and return it back to stock so it will be fine for warranty replacements? As some hardware issues are mentioned id rather keep my warranty if possible!

Any helps appreciated, im still reading through all the threads in the android dev section but again i dont want to brick my brand new phone as its different to the HD2!.
[LG Optimus 2x] MillyMoo106:
There is nvflash for flashing back to the stock roms when/if needed.

Rooting is simple just find SuperOneClick.

Next you need to get ClockworkMod Recovery on there, latest version is here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/l...-clockworkmod-recovery-for-the-lg-optimus-2x/

Put the zip file of your Rom on your external sd card.

Boot into recovery (Power On whilst holding Volume Down)

WIPE, make a nandroid backup, then find the Rom you want using power button as enter and volume keys to navigate.

THANKYOU! Obviously cant do anything till tomorrow but i appreciate you answering my post and giving me the low down :), i have been reading the cyanogenmod wiki page (only found it recently lol) which has also been helpful but the main issue for me was not knowing if i could flash back to stock for warranty, since i can then im a lot happier :D.
