Viewsonic g-tablet beats the archos and nook, and you can find it for $250-300.

Yes I got my wife a Archo 70 before it came to the states. She loves it! I havent rooted it yet, cause there was no need to. Very thin, lightweight, and has a kickstand. A must for under $300
[General Questions and Answers] Scaryghoul:
It depends on what you want, and if you're willing to cut corners to get some better features.

I own the Archos 101, and I'm moderately satisfied(I yurn for more power! and can get more power for the price).

If you want something that is fast and probably does well on games, you'll want a newer tablet, and probably a tegra 2 tablet is best right now, the g-tablet seems to be the cheapest with some great hardware, except you'd have to 'settle' with the viewing angles of the screen.

For me, personally, the tablet range starts at $300, which is where the Archos gen 8 tablets, and the Viewsonic G-tablet sits.

The archos tablet is very underpowered in comparison, and I'd advise anyone to get the G-tablet over it for the pure power, I'm stuck with Archos since I have a very impulsive personality and tend to grab the first thing available.

I wouldn't go below the Archos gen 8 tablets hardware wise, then you're only getting android 2.1 and below, and older opengl versions, and generally dead dev communities(sorry some other good oldies, you know you're excluded).

The nook color was popular, but it's old now, as is the Archos tablets and it's time to move on up with hardware.

Sorry, I'm rambling >.< Just doing my nightly xda check before bed.

Final statement/TL;DR version: You are best going with a $280+ tablet as that's where all the 'decent' entry level ones start, and some good hardware ones like the G-tablet. You'll likely have to sacrifice something(a feature) in order to get better hardware at lower costs.

edit: Random thought, get one that supports flash(almost all in the budget I posted support it, but incase you go below that budget, make sure it has flash support ^_^ )

Get a Nook

i bought my wife a nook on release day and started playing with it the day a simple root was achieved. It is now running Phiremod with Dalingrin's overclock kernal and it is absolutely amazing. Perfect form factor in a 7" display, beautiful screen, $250 or less if you find used, and it is now overclocked to 1.3gz. Amazing tablet with alot of dev support i would not call this old and i believe the only things on the market that best this are in the $500 range.

Will changing my rom or radios unlock the device? Will this rom unlock my device ;p ?

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] YukiXDA:
Hi ansar,

What do you mean by Speach recognition over the network

Do you think I sould take a look for HD2?

Other thing: people were talking about light sensor, do you know if there roms in witch it's works.

I thaught it was a HD2 issue before but it's seems not.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

At Settings>speech and on NoDo ROMs you have Enable speech recognition over the network

This is also valid for Non NoDo ROMs on US operator ROMs as TMOUS, Sprint and Canadian BellMobility

Also at Settings>brightness there is Automatic adjust

Check both if work on a NoDo for HD2

Regards, ansar
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] YukiXDA:
I was thinking (and hope) that was working automatic with light sensor (and not only the option):)

Don't know what is wrong with that...

Thanks a lot

PS: If there is another build-in 7392 rom anywhere could you PM me? Still need some mui files for some languages to be sure all is ok.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Although NoDo ROMs implement the Enable recognition, only specific operators/networks support it

PS: We will keep in touch

Hi,

You can flash only those ROMs for TMOUS operator

Now you have TMOUS 1.20.531.01 and can flash 1.54.531.02 branded

Flashing can not SIM unlock, you need an unlock code for this

You can obtain it free from your operator of buy it from internet unlocking services

[Atrix 4G General] neodoru:
Hi all,

I don't know if this has already been discussed, but I just had to share it in case it hasn't (I'm sure that at least it will be useful for the guys new to android - like me).

In the sound settings category, there is a section called media audio effects where u'll find an equalizer and some other enhancements ... this combined with a good player will make the atrix's sound rock... literally. I'm an ex iphone 4 user and I was dissatisfied with the sound before this, but now I'm really impressed with the power of the bass coming out of those little earphones!

Yeah.. One of the first settings I adjusted. I listen to music on my phone everyday.. Works great with Winamp
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aimfire72:
Been playing around with different launchers, can't stand TouchWiz, and tried out SPB Shell... Works flawlessly on the Infuse, fast and smooth as butter - love it! Lots of eye candy and some pretty cool widgets too. Everything looks great on that big screen!

It's a little pricey, but IMO worth it!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dbsteelerfan:

Ive been using adw for the atrix and now for the infuse, dont know that it gets any better than that. The infuse runs the animations and transitions perfectly!

i personally dont mind cheaze wiz, and things like kies and a few widgets dont work without it running.. i prefer to use gtg465x's launchers, he made some for the captivate and i9000 with a 5-icon dock if you dont like the 4icon dock.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazm0n:
Are the others a lot better than Go Launcher EX?

No one uses Go Launcher EX? I'm fairly new to Android phones (had/have an Archos 5IT Android which is still running their version of donut, but with market and some other hacks), so I just picked the first free launcher I found. So far I really like it. The themes are OK and the customization seems as good as any and it's pretty full featured. Everything they release for it is free, though some 3rd party add-on are paid. I don't know anything about ADW or LPro, but I'm an app addict so I'm sure I'll tinker around with those sometime soon.

What are the best or your favorite features of ADW or Launcher Pro?

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LabiaSlayer:
Go Launcher EX is very good, almost too good... with their many free widgets. I wonder if they are spying on me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S1XXV:
I've been using Spb as a daily driver for months and it's great for me. Yeah I do show off with it at times but it is a good launcher. Launcher pro was my daily driver for almost a year.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SMaximus7:
Just out of curiosity... How is SPB Shell and battery life? doesn't drain it more than it used to before spb shell, drains more, or drains less?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S1XXV:
With Spb shell 3d I didn't notice much difference with battery life compared to others I've used but I would notice that under heavy loads of use that it would become laggy or restart itself. That gets annoying after a while because it takes a while like 2 minutes sometimes to start. Its a nice launcher but I've put it aside for now and I'm using the Sony Ericsson launcher now which is a lot quicker.

My Samsung I9000 is hopeless in bright light.

Sitting on a beach is it almost impossible to see the screen.

Are there any android mobile phones out there that you can see the display well under bright sunlight?

I assume some sort of screen that can display without a back light would do the trick, but I cannot find any mobile phones like that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
Use a matte screen protector like SGP Anti fingerprint and turn the brightness all the way up. I have the SGP AF screen protector installed; it improves readability under sunlight quite a bit and helps keep the screen clear of fingerprints, but degrades image quality due to the film's graininess.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midas5:
Ebooks are readable in bright sun light. I would like a mobile that has clip on screens. Use nice colour screen on cloudy days, but use a e-ink one on sunny days. It would also make replacing a damaged screen easier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
I've totally had the same idea! Especially if the e-ink one was transparent, and you could leave it on normally - then if you were reading an ebook on the bus even, it would save battery power using the e-ink instead of LCD/AMOLED screen. Hope this happens one day!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixFx:
I don't know what you mean by "if e-ink one was transparent". IMO reading a transparent display would be much more difficult than reading an e-ink or even a LCD display.

Anyways, color e-ink and color e-ink like (mirasol) displays are coming, so hopefully we will see them im future mobile phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRap:
Have you looked at the The LG Optimus 2X or the T-Mobile G2x reviews ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
I mean that there'd be a transparent e-ink screen over your normal LCD/AMOLED screen. So you could read an e-book on the e-ink.

It'd work like this:

- LCD/AMOLED screen off = black = what they do best

- e-ink = text in reflective white = not sure if this is possible, a bit different than the black we're used to, but the purpose is just for reading on a sunny day

=> it'd look like shiny white text on a black background, and use very little battery power

Or for indoors/cloudy days

- LCD/AMOLED screen on as normal

- e-ink = off and transparent

This would require the other-side of the e-ink modules to be transparent instead of coloured. And I guess they'd need to be really high density so they wouldn't impact the resolution of the screen underneath, although I imagine no matter what they'd still make it slightly dimmer.

I guess the principle is similar to adverts on bus windows - not sure if you guys have this where you are - but we have buses with adverts that look "solid" from outside the bus, but inside, you can see the advert over the window has been perforated with holes so you can still see through the window, but dimmer than if the advert wasn't there.

I'm totally uninformed here and this is probably way impossible... but someone has to dream of these things, right? :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erank:
Hi,

I'm using AR HD 3.7, I know that after installing my first version of ARHD (don't remember which version that was) I checked and the phone was properly connected with my market account, so all my apps were listed there.

I don't know exactly when this happened but now when I'm on 3.7 the phone has lost connection to the market and no matter what I do I can't get it to re-register itself on the market.

At first I didn't think this had anything to do with the ROM but after some correspondence with Google support about this problem they asked this question:

Is this a known issue? Is there a known fix or workaround to get it working again? I want to upgrade to the 5.1.x ROM but don't want to have to re-install probably a hundred apps from scratch.

Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks,
