[Nexus S General] :
I don't think it ever was the best, I think apon release the Desire HD was still better powerwise, but the NS definitely takes some real beating when it comes to actually looking like a phone and ergonomics. I think the SGSII is hands down the best phone atm, but ergonomics wise it isnt as perfect as the NS. But powerwise its mega...

I think the NS wins in the NFC dept, ergonomics and software as it will get updates first. But SGSII kicks its ass in video recording and picture taking. Video calling has to go to the NS for now due to 2.3.4 enabling video chatting through GTalk, Browser and general use to the SGSII. Screen is nice on the SGSII, not sure if its a major improvement, but very nice.

At the moment these two phones are leading the way, LG 2X is pure garbage so doesn't even get a look in;) i had a x2 for a week and i was lucky to get a refund, terrible phone, bad ergonomics, fantastic hardware though;( Screen was a bit iffy.

So for me the top three android products at the moment are

1. SGSII - 80 percent the best phone

2. NS - 20 percent the best phone but cant keep up with the SGSII overall power

3. ASUS Transformer - which is totally magic by the way, great for games to due to tegra 2;)

And it is important to buy the best thing at the time definitely, especially if you wont have another phone for 2 years... Ouch;P
[Nexus S General] :
I had a NS, sold it for 330 to get the lg2x, that was garbage so returned it for the SGSII, had two with capacitive button faults and one with a screen fault, returned that for 500 refund and bought a new NS for 300, go in the end i earned 30 quid and have a great phone too, hahaha, and learned a little about the dual cores;)

[Nexus S General] williamj1:
where did you get one new for £300?
[Nexus S General] :
From Ebay,

Waiting on delivery today,

I missed the old beast;) A sealed one too, if it isn't sealed i will send it back, i thought 300 was a really fair price;)

[Nexus S General] deeren:
Many people always tell me i am crazy that i change phones too often (every 6 months) but mannn i guess they never heard of Jupiterdroid .lol))))))

anyway, good to have you back.

btw sent you a PM.

cheers/
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
Haven't seem them go for that. They are £320 on Handtec and Clove. I think though if I was going to buy a nexus s now, it would have to be cheap. So maybe <250. I'd do it for 100 probably. No more.
[Xperia Arc General] Fritz24:
Hi. Have had a search through and can't find a similar thread, so apologies if I've missed one.

I'm looking for a (free, ideally) locksreen customisation app. I'm not fussed about directly launching apps from the lockscreen, but would like something that has missed call/received SMS/email notifications.

Anyone got any good suggestions?

Thanks. :D
[Xperia Arc General] QuentinCosta:
widgetlocker is the one you are searching for.

there arent many others or better ones...
[Xperia Arc General] Fritz24:
Thanks. I have noticed that one. Is there a free version though?
[Xperia Arc General] QuentinCosta:
no. i havnt found a free version yet...
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
The only free app i can think of is lockbot free

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jackdoit.lockbotfree

Not sure if it has notifications for sms, email, missed calls etc.

but its free so worth trying at least :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] level5music:
Hey guys - I'm looking for something specific on a VZW Moto Droid that I use for work. The boss gave me the OK to root, but I'm holding off on that until I can clarify a few things.

My personal phone is a Nexus One running CM 702, and when I plug it in to DDMS, I can see the FULL list of processes that it's running. When I plug the Moto Droid in, I only see 3-4 processes running, even though there's a ton of background apps on the phone. DDMS works fine with the Droid (I use it at work to capture screen shots of mobile websites), but I want the full process read out. I assume the experts know what I'm talking about. Is this a root thing? I suppose I could just slap CM7 on it (which actually, would be awesome) but I'd like to keep it as close to stock as possible unless I MUST root/flash to get the process list.

Thoughts?
[Xoom General] AndrewBoy:
I'm about to buy a xoom in the US without any contract. I would go for the 3G one (Verizon but without contract). Do you guys think I will be able to use it after unlocking? Do I need to unlock anyway, since it's without contract? Like the ones in Best Buy?

Tks for your inputs.

Cheers

Andrew
[Xoom General] niematunikogo:
i think there should be no problem. I have us wifi xoom.... but one year ago i bought us nexus-one and there was no problem in using the 3g in europe (same freq).

or..maybe you are asking about 'provider sim-lock ' then i dont have an answer... but i believe its doable:-)
[Xoom General] pauke_de:
Hi,

You can not use 3G from USA in Europe other frequencies and modulation methods, Wifi is okay
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
I also bought a US 3G (Verizon) model without contract and am using it in South Africa, but wifi only. The Verizion 3G works on the CDMA network whereas AFAIK Europe (as is South Africa) works on the GSM network so 3G is not going to work. The CDMA network works sim free so I'm not even sure if the sim slot is currently active and will probably only be activated for the 4G rollout.

If you buy it without contract there is however no need to unlock it or register it on the Verizon network to use wifi.
[Xoom General] AndrewBoy:
Thanks guys. I was thinking the same way as the mobiles are working here very well with EU GSM 3G, but the tab is not for the GSM as there is no phone function. Since I have my nice HTC HD2 with android and 3G, I will be able to share internet to the tab where wifi is not available. And of course the wifi version is much cheaper. Thanks again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
first off, i'm wanting to use my tablet for business use. i go to a lot of corporate meetings and i want to:

1. take notes

2. have attachments to those notes (documents, pdfs, spreadsheets, pictures, whatever)

3. be able to attach files from the local storage and access both the note AND the attachment even if offline (if i'm somewhere where there is no wifi)

4. organize my notes into folders so that i can sort them by whatever the meeting is abount

ive been trying various note taking apps such as handrite, evernote, catch, springpad, etc but i've yet to find one single app that will do all that i want.

evernote -nice but you have to pay a subscription fee in order to put attachments on your notes...lame.

catch - the best app for attaching local files on my tablet to the note itself. i can attach pdf's, pics, etc so when i my note open about that meeting, i can touch the attachment and it launches in whatever app i want it to launch with. awesome. problem is that the organization stuff sucks.

springpad - LOVE the interface and it makes it easy to organize stuff. they have a chrome extension so i can add notes and things from my browser which is cool. the only problem i have with this app is that it doesnt allow the local file attachment like catch does. you can attach anything, but it then links to the springpad cloud service to pull the message down...not ideal if i'm offline.

handrite - this just does handwritten notes obviously, but the ideal situation would be to take handwritten notes and then send it to my other note taking app of choice.

SO...i'm still kind of feeling this all out, but i'm hoping that you guys can give me a good solution to my problem. as of right now, im torn between springpad and catch. the two big kickers here are offline usage and attachments. i need to access all of my attachments and notes if offline with no hiccups. thoughts?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
Look up GoogleDocs. I haven't used it but try it out and see if it helps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
i have Google Docs and it works for note taking and organization...but it doesnt allow me to attach files to notes. if i create a note and save it, i want to be able to take a pdf or any kind of other file and attach the file to the note. basically i'm wanting to emulate the pen/notepad experience. in the past i've taken a notepad and pen for note taking...and also printed off any documents (price quotes, slides, emails, etc) that i need for reference, and stuck them in my notebook. so i could have all of my various printed docs ready for reference during THAT particular meeting. i want the same thing with an app and i feel like springpad is almost there...just need a little more.

any other ideas?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
Yeah. Install evernote.

Its cloud based so you'll need to register. It allows you to attach files from the file system or photos from the camera. Also arrange your notes into folders (I have a meetings folder)

Plus the big plus is that any notes I write are auto synced with evernote on my PC and vice versa so I don't have to do anything to get what I wrote back to my main machine
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
...oh, you can also record the audio while notetaking which I find really useful in some meetings
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
i have evernote installed and had planned on using it until i found out that they require you to pay a yearly subscription fee to upload attachments. $45 a year i think it is. its not crazy expensive or anything...but i dont really care about having my attachments in the cloud. i just want the ability to attach them from my local device or other service (dropbox for instance). i guess you are paying for the evernote storage capacity, but if it would just like to the local device or dropbox, i wouldnt need to pay.

yes its valuable and yes i would probably use it and swear by it, but i was just HOPING to find another solution that wasnt a subscription based model. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
Last thing. If you're going to be going without wifi and want to be able to access an existing note or a pre-prepared empty note with your reference material attached, just open the note on your tablet in advance whilst you have wifi and it'll cache it locally so you can access it even from the moon!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
Sorry, didn't notice that. I swear I've done attachments without paying... haven't needed to sync them tho... email the attachments to yourself and use the power of multi-tasking!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
thanks for the tip...this is basically what I want to do. and btw, i just read on evernote's "premium" stuff that the subscription stuff allows you to upload all types of files...but that means that the free version does allow for some types to be uploaded. didnt know that, so i just uploaded a pdf attachment to a note. works well enough. although i'm not really sure why loading a pdf or picture is okay but not a .docx or .xlsx :confused: i could see mp3's and what not, but word docs? really?

worst case scenario, i have to convert all of my word docs to pdfs :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
No worries. Personally I use dropbox to transfer reference material onto my xoom to a folder on the internal storage in advance of the meetings and don't tend to use the attachments in evernote. Hope you find a good solution
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
hmmm....okay well....hope you dont mind if i ask you some questions? :D

you sound like you use your tablet in a similar way for business so i'm curious just as to your general "process".

1. walk into meeting with xoom

2. sit down and open up....Evernote and Dropbox?

3. do you type on the virtual keyboard or the bluetooth keyboard? or do you use Handrite with a stylus?

4. when referencing docs, do you have dedicated folders in dropbox for specific meetings or maybe just organized based on project?

as you can see, i'm really wanting to have everything digital, but i want to get down the process so i'm not fumbling through various apps and what not during the meeting itself. sounds like you have this down pat...so i'm open to your suggestions! thanks again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
I tend to have no more than 2 meetings in a day (they tend to be long!) I have a page on my launcher dedicated to my productivity stuff so...

Email widget,

shortcuts to...

Evernote

QuickOffice HD

FileManager HD

Droid scan pro

Remote Desktop Client

Dropbox

I tend to keep my downloads folder very cleared out and organised so I just leave my meeting stuff in there. Saves me having to move stuff after downloading files from Dropbox or email.

I tend to just open evernote and filemanagerHD (which has a nice shortcut on the left hand side to the downloads folder). The xoom with 3.1 is quick enough for me to just open my reference material as I need it from file manager. I then use the honeycomb task switcher to swap between notes and reference

If I'm working on a project longer term I setup a folder for the reference material to keep it separate.

Another useful feature of filemanagerHD is the ability to bookmark files on your xoom for easy access. I do this alot. Often bookmarking the files ill need just before the meeting or as everyone is coming in.

In terms of note taking I use thumb keyboard 4.0 beta in one handed mode (where the keyboard only takes up one side of the landscape screen) so all the keys are withing fingers reach of my hand without me having to move it much. Love thumb kepyboard !

Hope this helps!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MrGinger:
Oh. I also regularly take photos of whiteboards from my notes in evernote! That syncs without subscription!

Waiting to see what this leather folio case with built in keyboard will be like when released too! Could be useful!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thegrumpyyoungman:
Thanks man. I really appreciate you taking through time to write all that out for me. I think I finally have a game plan now...thanks again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FerraraZ:
Is anyone else experiencing issues with this phone not always connecting to remembered wireless networks? When I'm at work I use the AT&T network through PSU and previous phones would always connect to them whenever in range. This phone shows that it sees the network signal but doesnt auto connect, I have to turn off and on wifi. Am I the only one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lgreenberg:
I've had this problem a few times already.

Will keep an eye on it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
I have had problems only on 5GHz networks. 2.4GHz networks are fine for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lgreenberg:
I'm also seeing that it's actually connected - showing good signal strength but when I try to access the internet on any app it time out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkH2O:
I've had the same problems. It will see my network but not auto connect. Then when I tell it to connect it acts as if it doesnt know the password. If I turn wifi on and off, it then connects fine on its own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner86:
I updated my transformer last week but didn't get a chance to try the usb and sd card reader until today and they are both dead, i tried rebooting numerous times but no luck, the keyboard works fine. Anybody else having this problem? It was working before the update.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner86:
anyone? not sure if i should rma it or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyxover:
try a quick factory reset and see if it helps, if not you might have to RMA it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
backup your files and try factory reset..

Already tried factory reset and it didn't work :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
My USB is working. I have been using a USM mouse and it is fine.

I have not tried the SD card slot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reverence12389:
Both my SD card reader and usb ports are working after the update. They did work beforehand also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeyeepeeman:
Same on my side, but partially... When I connect the tab to a pc, the "asus sync" and "usb debugging" appear, but the tab doesn"t appear on my pc.

When I try to launch Asus sync on the tab, it search for computer, but nothing happen. On pc side, Asus Sync can't see the tab.

Is it the same for you?

*******Edit******

Sorry, my bad, I installed filetransfer from android.com (I'm on a mac), and I can now access my EeePad. Strange though.... all my previous Android devices didn't need that to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobDroid90:
same

I do not know if mine worked before. I just got my transformer. I know the sd card slot is working but i cant get either usb to connect to anything. It will charge my phone, but nothing else
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
Can you tell me if you're doing anything different than this:

1. Reboot into CWR

2. Wipe data, cache, davlik cache 3 times each

3. Install zip (rom)

4. adb reboot bootloader or battery pull (tried both)

5. Install radio via Hboot (from jcase's thread)

6. Reboot phone

I've done that for das bamf, basic debloat, and gingervitis and none of them have worked for me.

Das bamf and basic debloat: when trying to place a call the process would instantly force close and I'd lose service for about 30 secs, same would happen when trying to receive a call

Gingervitis: constant reboots-- try to open market , freeze and reboot, try to run navigation, freeze and reboot, let phone sit, freeze and reboot

I'm just baffled on what I'm doing wrong since so many people seem to be running GB roms just fine.

Any responses are appreciated!

Install radio first then the Rom
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
So coming from Froyo/das Bamf:

1. Reboot into bootloader

2. Flash radio via Hboot

3. Reboot phone

4. Reboot into CWR

5. Wipe everything

6. Flash rom

7. Reboot

Does that look right?

[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
Ok so I did:

6. Rebooted

Still getting constant reboots!!! Wtf
[Thunderbolt General] Chillerman:
Das Bamf is based off of Froyo. Are you sure you are using the correct radio? There is only one radio so far that will work with Gingerbread and it's in the GingerJane thread.

[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
Plus one on the Radio first.

Download the Radio from Chingys thread, and the ROM of course.

Plus, if you already haven't... Get Quickboot from Market, it makes short work of booting into whatever you want.

1: Rename the Radio drop it on the ROOT of your SD.

2: Boot into Bootloader and flash the radio.

3: Reboot (it will boot just fine, you won't have service).

4: Boot into recovery

5: Go to "Mounts and Storage"

-Format Cache

-Format Data

-Format System

-Go back...

-Wipe Data Factory Reset

-Wipe Cache

-Go to Advanced...

-Wipe Dalvik

6: Install Zip from SD

7: Go to Advanced...

-Fix Permissions

8: Reboot.

Yes I know, the formatting and wiping may be redundant, but I have flashed EVER Ginger release and never had a reboot of a problem other than the bugs stated.

I have been running Gingeritus ALL day without a hiccup... Loving it!!!

Hope you get it.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
I downloaded fresh files of both the radio and rom and then I followed your directions exactly. Phone booted, swiped down to unlock, tried to press Next on the language menu and my phone rebooted.

Swiped to unlock again, got to the menu after language, press next, phone rebooted.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
It will... After that, let it boot and wait for Data to pop up before you swyoe to unlock.

It will only do it once.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
I'm in constant reboots. Phone will boot up I'll try to do some stuff and it will freeze for like a minute and then reboot. I just don't understand.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
??? Your phone is AntiGinger. Lol.

3 phones done this exact way today... No issues.

One more thing I would say just so you covered all bases. Backup all the stuff of your SD Card on you computer. Boot into clockwork and format it. Then drop your stuff back on it and proceed with the previous instructions.

That's all I have. Lol.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
Will backing it up then replacing everything that was in there even do anything? Or will formatting it still help?
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
The formatting will help... The structure, size, and integrity will be corrected.

[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
It is supposed to be the same radio... But I have heard twice now about the radio link in jcase's thread. I have used the one from Chingy's Gingeritus thread.

May be no difference but.... You have tried everything else.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
I've tried flashing both ha

just now i:

1. flashed radio

2. recovery

3. formatted cache, data, system

4. wiped data, cache, davlik, battery 3x each

6. fixed permissions

7. booted

guess we'll see how it goes
