[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
Well I must confess I am not surprised but still its shocking that you decided to go with ARC over Nexus S. Its anyone's personal preference.

My Two Cents...

NS Battery life for me runs anywhere between 12 hours to 30 hours depending how much I use it. If I play games on it, few phone calls and background sync on all time, with screen auto brightness, news reading for abour 30 mins in morning, 3G or WiFI on, BT on, when I leave for work in morning at 8, battery is fully charged, by 8 pm, if i did all mentioned above, I would generally be at 25%.

With no games all day, I still can squeeze an entire night and would probably not charge till I reach work next morning. That means around 24 hours of usage.

Comparing NS with ARC, NS has a better screen, less MP camera, but 8.1 MP doesn't really mean anything to me as one of my buddy has it and I hate it.

I have used iPhone/HTC/Motorola Headphones with my NS and they all work.

So far I have never experienced a single force close problem with my NS.

ARC still doesn't have any dev support, but NS, man, you can unlock the bootloader and do whatever you want to do with your phone. Root it, tweak it, custom ROM it(Here is the link to all the available ROM summary http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1067813)...

Phone is really light in weight, I love the Contour Display/Curvy screen, I wouldn't be sold for the Sony Bravia Engine display.

Its capable of playing almost all the games available in market as of today, I haven't seen any performance Lag.

I think you would be better off getting a NS over ARC. Again, its just my My Two Cents...

Good Luck!!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonex1:
Hey deplate07, are you running it stock or modded? Because I had a captivate with a week with firefly rom and it matched my iphone's battery life with heavy usage. I still regret selling it at times. If ns can do same after modding than sure, I will happily switch because what use is bravia engine and 3g when both are constantly off to save battery and I still get just 16 hrs

Also considering the atrix :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
Nexus S for the win! You can just use UV kernel to save your battery life :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gun26:
Although I'd recommend the S based on my own experience, I would caution you not to expect miracles in battery life vis a vis the Arc. I would haver rated the 16 hours you're getting as pretty good. Coming from the iPhone to Android you do have to be a bit more proactive in managing battery life -- dimming the display and shortening the display timeout, turning off unused radios, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonex1:
Problem is on the arc I am not even doing much. My brightness is at minimujm at all times. Backlight is off. Bravia engine is off. 3G is on probably 5 mins. for a day only. Wifi is rarely on. Music playback just 30 mins. And only 5-10 mins calls.

This is madness. I probably should have not complained and researched before hand but if people are saying they are getting 16 hours with 50% brightness, syncing at regular intervals, calls and decent music playback I would happily take the 16 hours.

At least the NS can be modded. I think i'll be switching in a couple days with this or a captivate and see how it turns out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Yeap, I'm running stock ROM... I think up to date nexus s and nexus one is the most optimized and up to date android phone.

By the way I don't turn off 3G, and one thing I'm sure is that nexus s is pretty easy on battery when idling ...

I love the connotation of the phrase 'Soft Brick'. I understand what it means. I also think nobody will agree with me, but suspect it would be somewhat more accurate, and funny, to say we have 'Sponged' our device.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi all,

I am still very new to my Xoom (have only had it for about a week) and I have noticed what seems to be a glitch with the "wallpaper resizer/cropping tool" in the gallery when I am trying to set new wallpapers.

On all of my other Android devices (past and present) when I resize the picture to make it may wallpaper I can simply do so by using 2 fingers (pinch to zoom) but when I try this on my Xoom it is only recognizing one finger at a time and I have to resize by moving the box down, then to the right, then up, then to the left, etc.

Does anyone else have this issue and if so does anyone know how to fix it?

Please advise...

Thanks in advance...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
That's going to be the least of your concern. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the whole wallpaper instead of cropping it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
LOL... Ya... I read your thread as well. I can get my wallpapers to work from the gallery using the crop feature but it is a pain in the a$$ to do when it wont work properly... :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
One easy way to get all of the wallpaper to view is to install wallpaper slide show. It's a live wallpaper but it allows viewing of the whole thing.

I noticed there were a number of threads on this in other forums for other devices besides the charge. However it doesn't seem like the fix seems to work in my case. Anyone else having the same issue? Preferably I like to use dual-mount USB but no matter how I connect it comes up as a CDrom. Any help on this? I am on Windows 7. I imagine on other OSes like Linux it will work just fine. Just haven't unpacked my linux boxes yet (just moved)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsDollar:
It is your phone your call. The warning thread has made it aware there is no fix for the potential bricking they mentioned and the ROM threads for GB have all the pros/cons. With that said I went back to Froyo for a couple of days and flashed GB again on Friday night. Runs great (again)

If you are saying this then I'd probably stay off GB for a bit until the bricking issue is resolved.

Laughing... Except for the things that don't work..... Priceless!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosrrgood:
Lets take the bricking issues out of the equation for a minute.

What's out there now is the sense ALPHA leak, or CM7 alpha.There are no GB ROM's out there right now completely developed for the thunderbolt. Dev's have done a great job getting these to work reasonably well considering what they have to work with. Until there is a high level release/leak we won't likely see any GB ROM's that are stable, efficient, and bug free.

Now if you are a tweaker, and are dying to see what the new features are, sure give it a shot. Other than that there really is nothing to be gained by going with GB at the moment. The Froyo ROM's are built of off completed, released code. At the moment they perform better, are more efficient, have more support, less bugs, and are stable.

Short awnser, nah...Just wait a bit until there is a better leak.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Both batter life and GPS were improved on ginger compared to froyo

The only problem with ginger is USB mounting the phone and the potential "brick"

I don't care to one hand because I have yet to se another soul say that they have a bricked device so I slightly don't believe them

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDKobes:
For usb mounting I believe by putting the phone into internet passthrough and allowing the drivers to install to computer...then go to disk drive it should work. lemme know if it does
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Its still a "problem" so to say because it doesn't do it automatically

It takes some effort to get adb to funcion too

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoingle:
I wasnt going to go back to Froyo at first because i was loving the new features, plus i was getting reboots on froyo ever since i went to a custom ROM, when i got on GB, they stopped, but the scare got the best of me so i ran back to Froyo. I flashed the old CDMA/old LTE radio version (the 4th one on the thread) and went back to BAMF 1.6.3. Fortunately, the reboots did not return with Froyo and everything has been running great. i have thought about going back to GB, but i am going to wait until an official radio gets leaked. Only because that radio still needs some work and my battery was draining much faster than it was when i was on Froyo. So it's been nice to have the longer lasting battery back.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosrrgood:
You are welcome to that opinion, but many others, including myself have experienced the exact opposite with battery life. GPS was improved though.

I get about 18-30 hours on Froyo depending on use...I never topped 15 hours on GB, and the performance was worse as well.

When I had my D1 however, GB did wonders for that phone (CM7). It improved performance and battery life by leaps and bounds...I hope for those same results on the thunderbolt once better leaks/releases are available.

Edit: When speaking about thunderbolt GB battery life/performance, I am referring to the sense roms. It's been a while since I used CM7 on the TB so it's possible that is better.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoingle:
I agree with ya. i dont see how anybody got/gets better battery life on GB right now, the drop in battery life was very evident.
[General Accessories] mallend:
Didn't really know where to put this, sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

I am new here, been coming here for a few months. Been enjoying the help and advice in the Eris section, and loving GSB.

I own a BMW, and there are few options for a good looking aftermarket head unit. Until now..

A company named Dynavin makes OEM looking head units, but throws in features of an aftermarket stereo. And now... with an Android section to the radio. They had been using Windows, but are testing out Android on it.

I am currently in a waiting list to purchase one, but I was wanting to ask if there is any way someone with knowledge of ROM development could look into this device a little bit. It is built to use as a tablet in the car, but from what I have read on the device, the major complaints seem to be that it is running a ROM that is more phone-focused.

Anyway, if anyone wants to check out the device, the following links are good references:

http://jandtdistributing.com/dynavi...ts/bmw-units-and-accessories/dvn-e46-android/

and for a more detailed description of the unit:

If there is no way to help (I do not know the first thing about development), then it is still an awesome concept that I hope catches on in other companies.

In the e46fanatics forum there's a guy called TXRobd who is a developer from this XDA-developers and is willing to tune the Android. I don't know which is the right place, maybe it has to be this forum, but it would be awesome.

I just went through the whole insurance/replacement processes. I had an HD2 (God i was spoiled with that phone, WinMo6.5 had some great features and android 2.3 ran like a dream) but the screen got smashed so i used the smartphone insurance that TMobile requires and they offered a refurbed HD7 as the next best replacement (130$ deductible, better than getting an HD7 refurbed from a store for 400$) and have to send back my old phone. not sure how the lost phone works, but goto Asurion and start the claim soon because they are changing there policy.

Hi all,

I've recently purchased this phone, my first android phone, and have been using it moderately for a couple of days now. It's an excellent phone, but I've just noticed that the power button, compared to the volume controls on the other side, feels slightly "pushed in".

It still works, and it still "clicks" if pushed in the center of the button, but it doesn't feel as snappy as the volume control buttons. I'm wondering if this is a defect in my model, or if it's normal.

I'd appreciate any feedback from other GS2 owners.

No dude, I don't know it all.

But I know when beaten and I realize when things are out of hand.

Those are things that apply here, to this discussion.

Let me tell you a few stories.

My grandpa's brother is 90 years old. (And he's a healthy 90, still kicking it just fine)

In his life the most exercise he's ever had is probably walking to his car.

He drank like a fish (alcohol) for A VERY GOOD chunk of his life.

Still alive and just fine.

My Aunt is an attorney.

She (duh) works with other attorneys.

One of them used to run on a treadmill an hour every day, EVERY DAY, eat healthy, go to the doctor regularly.

Guess where the man died and what age? 45 on the treadmill. Heart attack.

My dad was 54.

Yes, he had hemophilia but that had nothing to do with his death.

Yes he had an "enlarged heart" but it was well controlled.

He stopped smoking THE MOMENT he found out he had an enlarged heart. (A good 20 years ago)

He lost himself 50 lbs.

He woke up one morning, feeling fine, the next moment he was on the ground dead in front of me.

The moral of these stories?

There's really nothing you can do to prevent death.

I'm not suggesting we give up on cures for things but the "cancer causing studies" are getting really old and they are spending millions if not billions when millions if not billions could be spent on other things medically related.

What good does it do to know that literally everything and anything in the right amount can cause you cancer?

Answer me that.
