[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
This does seem like a fully loaded device but I think compared to the portability of the Tab 10.1, it will soon become annoying. I think I'm going to stick with the Tab 10.1 and purchase the adapters for USB/HDMI. I'd only need to carry them on 5% of my journeys anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SR45:
Yes, I'm interested. 1.6 lbs is like the Ipad 1 tablet and the reviewer states that its really not that bad. Ports are important, and the user removable battery is a real plus. Thickness is a bummer, but over all, the tablet looks like a real contender ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KING SKILLZ:
this WAS the 1 i really wanted but when i saw it had more bulk than my xoom i've decide to go with the 10.1, but i would take this over the xoom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
The location of the cameras is ODD. Seems like it would be difficult to hold and not obscure the cameras.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Daps:
I like that you can change the battery but me personally I don't need all those ports. If I have to have all that I may as well get a laptop or netbook. Also I'm not keen on that chrome around the camera. It's petty but I also like looks when it comes to my devices
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lidc1y5:
It just moved up to number one on my list just waiting to see what HTC comes out with with in a 10.1 tablet
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
No.

1. I hate that silver / chrome plate around the camera. It is too distracting, look cheap and ugly. I cannot stand it, period.

2. It is too bulky and heavy. I don't need all those ports, especially because I will use it rarely.

3. I don't need replaceable battery. From my experience, even after a year or two, the lithium battery is still good. And by that time, I have upgraded to a new device anyway. I know, it is a plus to have replaceable battery, but if it adds to the weight and bulkiness (because of the mechanic or whatnot), then I don't want it!

GTab 10.1 is still my number one choice ... IF I can buy one :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
I like what I've seen. I was following this for a few months, but scratched it off due to the Tab 10.1. Now I've written off the tab 10.1 I think, because it just leaks cheap. I'll reserve my final judgement until I see some reviews.

I'm sorta curious what the odds of being able to install Windows 8 on it might be. It appears to be the same exact design as one of Toshiba's upcoming Windows 8 tablets they showed at Computex, just with a different processor. I'm not excited about Tegra 2... but..... if it's really that bad, that is why they have return policies. A Dual boot Android / Windows 8 tablet might be a serious case of Winning!

Oh, I also am looking forward to see what HTC is bringing to the table as well. I don't want to count them out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] o>c:
I am the one considering the Toshiba Thrive as well.

Yeah the Thrive is thick and heavy with the chrome camera and rubber back that sound odd, but the fact that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has no SD card and USB slot turns me off, it seems like Samsung is going to rip us off with accessories that I have seen in the youtube video shown in another thread, so Samsung learned styling and ways of money making from Apple huh?

Full size USB, HDMI and SD card port, plus attractive pricing and the Toshiba brand outweight the clumsy look. Hope XDA will have the Thrive forums soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Definitely worth reserving your final judgement because the reviews that I have read all pretty much say how premium the quality of the 10.1 is compared to what they expected before they saw it in person. I didn't bookmark all the reviews I read so can't seem to find them all but Engadget wrote:

"It's a tremendous thing to hold, and it truly oozes quality from corner to corner".

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-review/

Personally, I don't think it looks that cheap but like you, I am also reserving my final judgement until I see it in the flesh.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] arnold88:
No XDA forum - No buy!

It's very simple, I like the device and want to get one. But with no XDA forum (yet), I'll have to wait. I do like to try out custom rom's, etc., as well as the practical uses. Right now I have an LG G-Slate, and with no XDA forum I can't do anything (other than rooting). So, if one is interested in simply "using" a device, then the Thrive looks excellent except for its bulk. For those of us who want to do more - we'll need an XDA forum.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Looks like a cool tablet. Had it come out a month earlier, I might have bought it.

These guys releasing Honeycomb tablets in July, August, and September just feel like they are a bit late to the game.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
That makes total sense. So I take it you only buy your devices briefly after a new OS is introduced? How old is your Windows/Apple desktop/laptop?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
With laptops/desktops, I can update the OS whenever I wish. I'm not dependent on the hardware manufacture to make a custom OS for my computer. So tablets are very different from a laptop or desktop. Though I do know people that do hold off laptop/desktop purchases if a new OS release is near, to avoid having to buy an upgraded OS later.

I love Android, but 3.0 and 3.1 have not been that good. It was a rush job and the source code was never even released. And hardware manufactures already proven they are very slow with major OS release updates. With the hope that Android 4.0 will unify the phone/tablet OS and includes major improvements to stability, compatibility, and fragmentation...

Personally I think there probably is a line in the sand somewhere where a person should ask themselves, do I really want to get into an Android 3.x tablet now with 4.0 coming soon?

I'm not sure I made a good decision getting my GT 10.1 back on June 17th (really nice hardware though). It is really going to suck if I'm still rocking Android 3.crap in 2012. Really hope that doesn't happen, but I have no idea.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
I totally agree.

By looking at the photos, it seems as though the rear camera does not include a flash.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
I went with the GT 10.1. LOL I got tired of waiting and I didn't like that the Toshiba doesn't have Gorilla Glass, is a lil' heavy and apparently just uses a regular LCD screen with some sort of software to make it crisper and brighter.... The GT has such a nice screen, I couldn't resist. It also feels so light in hand.

Still, different strokes for different folks. I'm sure the Toshiba has nice things about it too... like the ports. Still... I like weight of the GT sooooooo much.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hyann:
I was seriously considering waiting for the thrive since its almost 100 bucks apart, you could get a 8g, plug in a 16g SD and in the end beat the 10.1 in memory.

But then I thought real hard about what I needed a tablet for. I have a NB at home and at workplace, and if I needed to do stuff that needed serious computing, I would choose the NB over any tablet even if it was quad-core.

The reason I need (or, want) a tablet is for portability, acccessibility to games, video, web surfing and data/email checking. I dont see how often I will cry over that lack of ports, if ever at all. and ports and price are probably the only things that toshiba has an edge over the 10.1. Once I decided that I really dont need the ports (especially you can get the usb dongle for $20 for the rare occasions that you need the port), it was a no brainer decision.

I would think that the Thrive buyers would have to use usb host a lot in order to feel better about the decision over 10.1. Otherwise, everytime you browse the web, watch videos, read papers, or play games on 10.1, it's just hard to think that there's a alternative attractive choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SR45:
Here is a Thrive forum for you. Its not XDA but a good one never the less

http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/forum.php

If I just wanted to have a usb port or SD slot just once in a great while, than the Thrive is a winner. The comments that the thrive is clunky and heavy is way off base. Its been reported by reviewers that the weight is not heavy and feels good holding it. By the way, the Transformer 2 has been reported today to be coming out this October with Tegra 3, the new OS and goodness who knows what other upgrades. Some thing to consider as well
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
The Thrive is 1.6 pounds. My Acer was 1.7 pounds, and it felt a lot heavier than my Tab 10.1

I can now surf the web with one hand, unlike the Acer. The Thrive will definitely feel heavier than the Tab 10.1
[G2 and Desire Z General] kash20:
Hi, well i've had this phone little over a week and have only just got into the whole process of rooting so in some terms i'm a bit of a noob.

I'm not going to lie, the satisfying feeling of rooting my phone and learning ADB and using SDK manager was pretty good, and I've successfully rooted my phone and overclocked it,

However now i'd like to install a more update custom rom and this seems to be the right one, the Virtuous Sense as its basically the most recent update without the crap i feel. Link

My question is however on how to install this custom rom and the process of it, at the moment i'm running a rooted 1.34 stock rom i think on the htc desire z and i'd like to update it, I've made a Nandroid backup using astro file manager and backed up my apps and contacts are backed up online,

is the process of flashing a new rom as simple as downloading the zip file, placing it on my sd card and using the recovery bootloader and installing it from that?

I'd just like to ask if i'm missing out any crucial steps here or if there's any tips you guys would like to share or any other custom roms you feel are better than the one i've chosen.

On a final note, i'd like to say this forum has amazing help and guides which have helped me so far,

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you don't already have it, download ROM Manager from the Market.

Astro just backs up app data right? That's not a nandroid. A nandroid is a full backup of the whole OS and all your data. You can do this wtih Clockworkmod, which is included with ROM Manager. Open ROM Manager, and pick the option to flash Clockworkmod.

I haven't used Astro to backup my apps, many people use Titanium Backup. But I assume the backup in Astro is similar. You should also backup SMS and email (other than Gmail) if you want to keep those, as those will also be wiped.

Flashing a ROM is a a breeze with ROM Manager. You can get Virtuous right on the ROM Manager app itself, and just flash from there. Really, rooting is 95% of the work, flashing a custom ROM is a breeze.

When you go to flash a ROM in ROM Manager, it will give you the option to backup your ROM (nandroid), so select that. It will also give you the option to wipe, which you should also select. Then ROM Manager will just do the rest.

If a certain custom ROM you want is not included in ROM Manager, just copy the zip for the ROM to your SD card. Pick the option in ROM Manager to install a ROM from SD card. Then select the zip, and the rest is same as the paragraph above.

You MIGHT be able to get away with not wiping your data, since stock DZ ROM and Virtuous are very similar ROMs. But it may also cause some random bugs, requiring you to wipe data and re-flash. In general, follow the instructions in the thread for the custom ROM you want, regarding whether a data wipe is needed. Usually, you can avoid a data wipe if you are staying on the same custom ROM, but a newer version. But a full wipe is the safest bet. You should always wipe cache and dalvik (you can wipe those in Hboot).
[G2 and Desire Z General] kash20:
thanks for the help, one quick question though, i've overclocked and used set cpu on the rom with the kernel they specified, though when my phone's display is off, and i click the power button, the buttons at the bottom of the screen turn on but the display stays off, is there a fix for this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] thomas_wlc:
edit: redpoints advice sounds a lot more competent to me, so I would go with that.

(This sounds like a common issue that occurs when you specified a screen off profile in set cpu. If you have it set up so that the cpu is underclocked while the screen is off, it won't wake up since it doesn't have enough power.

Even though this hasn't happened to me before, I've read that the issue will disappear if you raise the clock from say 245mHz to 368mHz.

Hope this will help.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
That is a known issue with the Virtuous Advanced kernel. So I assume this is the kernel you flashed. The Advanced kernel is only needed if you want to overclock greater than 1 GHz. The kernel that is included with the Virtuous ROM is already OCed to 1 GHz by default (no kernel flashing required).

But since you have already flashed the Advanced kernel, the fix is to use screen-off profiles in SetCPU. I believe the fix is to make a screen off profile with "interactive" as the governor, and that's it. But its well covered under the Virtuous kernel thread, so you can check there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967153

From what I recall, what is happening is the CPU is scaling up too fast when you wake the phone, and using up too much voltage, preventing the screen from waking.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
This might work too. A few different possible solutions were given in the Virtuous kernel thread. The one I think worked for me (when I was on Virtuous) was a screen off profile with interactive governor, and that's all.

Underclocking the CPU while the screen is off is unnecessary. The CPU does that automatically, anyway.

In Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Market, the button 'clear data' is greyed out, impossible to press. This is annoying cause it helps many times solving problems. How is it for you guys?
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
Another problem I have with market is that is doesn't recognize applications installed from another source, even though the app also exist in market.

Hey,

Just started developing an android app but I can't publish my app because i need the Android to Air extension.

Flash has kindly removed all traces of the link since CS5.5 came out with built in support for the extension... and this is what the page looks like

If anyone has the extension file sitting around can you please PM so I can give you my email address or send me a download link!

I've spent the last three hours trying to find this extension!

Greatly appreciate it

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Hey everyone. I am thinking about starting on trying to port over some of the sense 3.0 apps to our version of sense. (2.2?) But I am concerned that there are dependencies for the apps in the new framework. Could anyone that knows more about this tell me if there's any easy way to find out what they are? Or if there are any at all?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I believe it's actually sense 2.1. Also, the dependencies are likely to vary depending on the app. I'm not sure they will check versions, but HTC may have interfaces and libraries that are unique to sense 3.0 that some things will use and others will not.

I'd say play with it and see what happens. The worst that can happen is the app doesn't work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Well that did no good. The changes I made- I.e. replacing the mms.apk in system/app don't stick after a reboot. I wish I knew how to install it in /data/app instead.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Well.. Tried installing the mms.apk through the package installer. But package installer throws a parse error. I watched the logcat and it seems like the problem is that we have SDK v. 8 while the 3.0 mms requires sdv v. 10.

Does anyone know how to change the minimum SDK version for the app? I just want to see if it will work. I have a feeling its located in the androidmanifest.xml..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
You would likely have to change the manifest, which requires changing the contents of the apk, which will break signature. There are various tools for signing an apk, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
I found a hone replacement that is clean and semi 3d and a nice lock screen that has taking my mind off sense temporarily lol

Its called Regina launcher if u pull and hold down it goes to a.carousel like 3d view of ur homescreens

Its not laggy or slow by any means comes with a weather.clock widget that is veryyyyy nice

And ripple lock is a honeycomb imitation lock that goes well with it

Just for.those who want something new
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Ah, I played around with that home launcher, really new and awesome idea. For some reason it was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. And I was getting annoyed by the 3d switching screens thing. But all in all, anyone who wants a change, that's a cool home launcher
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
Yea its nice bit def needs some updates maybe if enough people catch wind of it.the Dev will work on it some more.

Its definitely a nice change tho I use launcher pro with LG weather widget and regina launcher back n forth all.day

As per title really...has anyone else experienced dust getting underneath the touchscreen?

on one of the rare days of sunshine last week I noticed a small amount of dust under the screen. It's going back to vodafone for "repair"

Not a good sign on a two week old device!
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Are you saying that originally your Sensation had no dust under the screen and dust developed there over time? :eek::eek::eek:

Someone was showing how the case design causes link to get in other areas, but I wonder if this also is the cause of dust getting under the screen???:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
And there's another thread about this same issue.

This is very depressing.

I've really hit a point where I'm wondering if this is the right device for me :( .

Edit October 25, 2011: I've had a Sensation for 3 months now and have not had any issues. The vast majority of Sensation owners don't have this issue.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
This is how it goes in the beginning, unfortunately. Remember, this is a small percentage of actual Sensation phones we're hearing about here. Then again, I'm coming from the G2X...talk about issues.

I bought the Nexus One at launch, and had many issues. However, it turned out being the best phone I ever owned.
[HTC Sensation] worlock666:
Sorry for creating another post.... Been on this board every day for weeks looking for root info and clearly missed it. :-(

Yes by the way... I mean no dust when I got it and now dust!

I still love it though... Just annoying that going to be without it for a week. Back to my leedroid gb desire... I'm glad I hadn't ebay ed it yet!
[HTC Sensation] Zheiko:
Could anyone who is using Sensation longer than two weeks confirm that not all these devices are affected by this? I've seen a lot of posts about it, and I am concerned if only some of them are affected or just few unlucky pieces...

I was looking forward to get this phone since they did not announce it on Barcelona, I knew HTC has something they didnt want us to see, few weeks later my wish came true, now its finaly here, and I am struggling if I should buy it or not... the WIFI problem doesnt look that serious to me, and seems like I could live with it(I am barelly using BT, and WIFI only at home, where the signal is better than good)...

Please, is here someone who doesnt have this problem after few weeks of usage? Still, if all the phones are affected, what would be the matter of getting it exchanged/fixed after two weeks, if I'll get the same phone again with the same issue, and two weeks later I will have to get that fixed again...
[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
I too would like to hear from people who have *not* had dust issues and happen to keep their phone in their pocket or someplace where dust can get in. I'm looking at getting this phone today, and this is the first I've heard about dust. Had dust in my HTC Hero back when I had that phone, drove me nuts. Actually used to take it apart about once a month to do a thorough cleaning, and I kinda thought that after that phone, I wouldn't have to deal with that kind of issue anymore.
[HTC Sensation] o0o Wiggy o0o:
I havent had any dust underneith my screen but I do have a gel cover on that sort of seals any areas where dust can get in.
[HTC Sensation] mndgz:
Using mine since 27/05. It spends half of the time in the pocket, the back cover was taken off a few times as well. There's dust all around the screen where it meets the cover but none underneath the actual touchscreen.

Quite bad idea for a back cover IMHO but no dust issues so far. Standard issue Vodafone IRL Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Long as it's not getting under the touchscreen it's not "too" big of a deal... The screen should be fused tightly enough that none every should get under there, theoretically speaking...
