Does it tilt?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] slapshot30:
Nope, but it does have a quirky little mechanism that makes the keyboard come out in a very cool way. It's called the Z-hinge, look it up on youtube, very interesting how the keyboard 'slides' out (although it doesn't really slide).

It has pretty much the same keyboard as the Tilt2 and a teeny bit bigger screen, but much less thickness. The processor is better and is actually underclocked. It runs perfectly at stock speed but is crazy fast when overclocked (overclocking is very stable on this phone). All games work perfectly on it without a hitch graphically. If you liked the possibilites of winmo, you will love the abilities to customize on native android with all the custom ROMs and such.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
i cant seem to find an answer to this on any forum directly.

i have CWM .8 and calkulin+clemsyn. can i nvflash to the 1.2-4349 stock directly? or do i have to nvflas to 3588/1.1 stock first, then nvflash to 1.2/4349? everywhere it says you cannot do it with CWM but nothing says you cant NVflash between the two but nothing says you can do that either.

thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirhanSirhan:
I flashed directly from Vegan to 4349 without problem. I cannot see why it would not work for you. I then used stock recovery to load BOS, giving me CWM for 1.2 bootloader. Currently on Century Eyes, needed stable ROM with hardware acceleration.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
i think thats what im going to try. i couldnt find a straight answer anywhere. i think nvflash is so much easier to use than recovery, i wish i had used this earlier.

Someone asked that the other day and I gave a lengthly reply. I didnt want to repeat it here unless you had more specific questions.

Also, if you're a total noob to development on any platform, I would recommend this book http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781449393304/

It's not out yet (next month). However, I know that series (from other titles) they do is noob friendly to non-coders and beginning coders as a starting point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Droid Noob34:
So, I've been reading so much on the charge and thunderbolt. With regards to the 4g and started feeling like I made the wrong choice. Well, i popped in the Verizon store to see these two phones and found the Charge felt very cheaply made. The Home buttons felt very "loose". Also did a small test with the speed and my dinc2 was barely slower than the 4g bolt on loading websites. I do like the feel of the bolt, as it's very similar to the Dinc2 screen and software. Long story short my after playing with all 3 phone, I feel very comfortable with my choice. The 4g as I saw it doesn't save much time at all with regard to web surfing. That could all change in time though lol.

me too...I really need wireless tether and netflix....only reason I got this phone to replace my inc1 was for the global since I'm out of the country often
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I have to admit, I have not yet once doubted the purchase of the DINC2.

The TB didn't interest me because of some of the issues it had. I did briefly contemplate the Casio G'Zone (or whatever it's called). And I've sworn up and down there was no way in hell I'd ever buy another Samsung phone, so that left the Charge out. Plus, I don't need 4G. So the DINC2 just made sense.

Yeah, I paid full price for it the day after it was released, but after nearly six months of the instability and bugs of the Droid 2 Global, it was an investment well worth it to get a stable phone.

Love my Droid Incredible 2...with or without root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Droid Noob34:
The Charge buttons were ridiculous. Very big and felt like they could fall off. It might be because it was a demo. If thunderbolt didn't have all the issues, i would definitely want it. I feel better after going in and trying the other phones out, since buying the Dinc2 was a bit of a whim

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] applejacks108:
I love my Dinc2 its my first smart phone and i'm in love with it. Although i am a little hesitant about not being on the 4g network. The things i'm reading about the TB Charge and Revo make me wanna stay with the Dinc2 plus it was 50$ cheaper and I didn't have the extra money at that time. Just afraid in the two years i'm contracted to it i'll regret not being able to use 4g.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
One of the bigger reasons that I didn't go 4G/LTE is my concerns about reliability on that network still. 3G is still rock solid.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
I guess I still don't understand why people need/want 4G@15MB/s over 3G@2MB/s? What do you do on your phone that would need anything over 2MB/s?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I could see it from a tethering perspective. Beyond that, everything I've bothered to stream has usually streamed just fine over 3G.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Good question. Tethering is an obvious answer, but with Verizon cracking down hard on tethering, I'm staying with 3G.

LTE is still very much in its infancy. I'd rather have better battery life.

Posted from my unrootable HTC Droid Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Yes, 2mbit is realistic.

The only reason I'd want 4G is for tethering. Still, I've tethered with my Eris and didn't feel like it was terrible speed. Using the internet on my I2 has been significantly better than my Eris simply because the device itself is faster. My roommate still has his Sprint Hero (equivalent to the Eris) and watching us browse websites shows completely night and day differences in experience. The 3G didn't slow me down on my Eris, the hardware did.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
Verizon is going to have issues in some area's anyway. My area has some older switches and won't see 4G for quite some time, and it's the 2nd biggest city in Illinois. I'm opting for the Dinc2 as soon as the bootloader situation gets figured out. I'll hold off for a 2nd gen 4g chip that doesn't make the phone bulky and drain batteries to death.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rmcdaniels:
I had a T-bolt and returned it after 14 days. It was fine in Mexico where I had limited data access, but as soon as I got to the US and it got within range of 3G or 4G, the battery drained far too quickly. I got 30+MB/s at one point (RDU airport, terminal A), but most places were in the 20+MB/s range, like Detroit and a couple of other places that I forget.

I returned it for an iPhone4, which is not a bad phone (aside from having to deal with Apple and the idiotic form/function design issues), and gets great battery life. After three weeks I got assigned to Bahrain support duty, so I eBay'd the iPhone for $515 picked up a Dinc2 as a global phone because I had a Dinc1 for a while and really liked it. So far it hasn't been bad. I did the temp-root/bloat-freeze to get rid of the most annoying stuff and loaded AWD Launcher to get the screen like I want it, as well as a Seidio 1750 battery for a bit more usage time.

I'd really like to have more ROM options like my Dinc1, and if I wasn't assigned to a global support role I'd probably go back to the Dinc1, but the Dinc2 is a decent phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] theguru1974:
My DInc used to show me in the settings menus the number of hours and minutes of Total Time vs. Awake Time, which gave me a good indication if there was a rogue app eating away my battery. I have 2 monitoring apps on my DroidX2, Spare Parts+ and SystemPanel, but neither of these really tell me these numbers in the same way. Spare Parts+ does give me a comparison of screen time on vs. running time. My phone has been on for 10 hours, with the screen on 1h 5m and the running time is 1h 57m.

I know I'm just rambling here - my real question is what do you guys use to track this sort of thing on the X2, do you recommend any better apps?

Download spare parts from the market. It has a few battery tools as well as the ability to tweak animations. I set my transition animations to fast and the phone feels snappier overall.

How to increase SD card speed

What you will need:

1) SD Tools (for benchmarking) - https://market.android.com/details?id=a ... ek.sdtools

2) The modified 99complete file - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10439360/99complete (right -click, save link as... select file type as all files)

Note:

Credit goes to Brainmaster for providing the script at this posting xda-developers - View Single Post - [Script][CWM] Increase Read Cache for better SD Card access

I have edited the 99complete file with Brainmaster's script to use 2048kb cache.

#Increase SD card speed

if [ -e /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb ]

then

/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

fi;

What you will need to do

First download the 99complete file from this link ("right-click" then select "save link as..." Save file type as "all files")

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22333837/99complete

Copy the 99complete file to your SD card.

Then use Root Explorer to copy it to /system/etc/init.d/ folder to replace the original 99complete file.

Set the file permission of the 99complete file to follow the permission of the other files.

Then reboot the phone.

My SD Tools benchmarking results for my 8GB Class 2 micro SDHC card

Stock 128kb setting:

Write 6.8Mb/s

Read 19.2Bb/s

2048kb setting:

Write 6.4Mb/s

Read 32MB/s

3072kb setting:

Write 6.7Mb/s

Read 29.8Mb/s

My conclusion is that 2048kb setting yielded the best result for my Sd card.

Did some testing and photos in the photo gallery did appear to load up faster and same goes with file managers accessing the SD card - http://youtu.be/LtFmwbXtUXQ

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gsutton:
I have a rooted stock 1.1.0 nook color and once had a little green battery icon displayed in the notifications bar. It has been removed and i can't remember the app i used to put it there. May have been a widget of some sort. Any ideas about any widgets or apps that might work? Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
I personally use Battery Indicator, free in market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gsutton:
Thanks for the reply. I will check your suggestion out.

-gsutton

EDITED: I just "discovered" that I had previously used "Battery Status 3.4" from the Market (I searched my Titanium Backup files and found it). It simply places a small icon in the notification bar for a quick visual indication of battery charge remaining. I like it because it is displayed wherever the notification bar is displayed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mr_Sinister:
Hello all. I guess by now you have heard of the glass separation issue with the I/O Limited 10.1 Galaxy Tab?

If not, see hxxp://androidcommunity.com/displays-breaking-on-galaxy-tab-10-1-google-io-limited-edition-20110527/

I was just wondering if others have experienced this yet and what can be done about it?

The upper right corner is the only concern I have on my unit. It is not that bad now, but what about a month from now. Can I glue it myself?

Your thoughts? Thank you all.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xEVILFREDx:
I got the same issue. I am about to call Samsung support about it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mr_Sinister:
Can you post your results with Samsung?

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yay pie:
Mine was separating pretty badly on the top left and right corners. I called Samsung on the number on the bottom of the tablet; they opened a repair ticket and emailed me a UPS prepaid label to send it back.

A week later UPS delivered a replacement unit. One corner is ever so slightly not flush but it's nowhere near as bad as it was and I'm just going to live with that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] moonzbabysh:
Did you get back an IO tab?

Uplinked through my mind
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yyhd:
I'm so glad this thread is here. I didn't even know this was an issue/problem. My only concern is will Samsung send me a replacement while I'm working and living overseas in China? Moving in 3 weeks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] renedg:
reply

Was it again an i/o special edition?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yay pie:
Yes, it was an I/O model. Came in the exact same packaging and everything, just like when I pickd up the first one at I/O.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ralexand:
Has this issue gotten worse for those who have it? I recently purchased a 'used' IO Tab from someone and when I got it I specifically checked for screen separation and noticed none.

Only a few hours into using it I noticed the bend above the port to charge the device. Now I have to make a concious effort not to hold it on that side.

So, did it only get worse, or should I be through the worst at this point and it'll just be a little 'off' from now on out?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aamzalag:
I also had that problem, i called them 2 weeks ago and they helped me get a replacement unit, which just arrived yesterday. But the replacement has the screen coming out of the body of the unit worse than the one i sent in. I think it just has a deep manufacturing flaw. Im not even gonna bother sending it in again. a 2 week wait without the tablet just to get another with the same problem... It works fine either way so might just be worth it to hold onto it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ralexand:
Well that sucks. I wonder if it's only present in the IO Limited Editions (haven't noticed any complaints from the NYC purchasers). I guess we'll find out in a matter of days.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mattpall:
Retail tab owner here

I bought mine in union square, and I have been monitoring a possible glass separation very carefully. I am happy to report my tab has so far been unaffected by this issue..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xEVILFREDx:
Keep in mind all that the Google I/O tabs where all hand made vs the ones being sold now. From my understanding they are fixing the issues. I got my labels just Friday because I got busy. Should be sending mine out tomorrow. Will give you all update on what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eallan:
Please do keep us posted. I'm interested. AnandTech worried me saying the retail version had a better panel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Spinstorm:
I'm UK based.*

I called the number on the back of the tab and at first the guy told me that I couldn't get it shipped back to the UK. I asked him to double check and he came back and said that in fact they could send it back to me.*

I gave him my address and all the information and he repeated it back to me and said to wait for the ticket email to confirm.*

When I got the email it didn't have the right address - it obviously was not liked by their system as the road address and town where right but the state was Texas!*

I am also not clear on if I am meant to ship it to them or they are going to pick it up.*

I will call them back shortly and try to sort out the address and clarify but has anyone else spoken to anyone in support about an international return and repair? And if anyone had a direct email for someone at samsung support so I can send them my address in typed form that would be really helpful! Thanks.*
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Spinstorm:
So I called Samsung back and they pushed through the shipping for me.

It turns out their system does have the correct address but the email sent out wasn't formatted for international addresses so that is why it was messed up.

I have scheduled my UPS delivery for Friday (tomorrow)... I didn't include the original box - I wrapped the galaxy tab in lots and lots of bubble wrap and put it in another box as I wanted to keep the original box if I ever decide to resell it in the future and I wasn't sure if I would get the box back.

I just hope that I don't get another new tab back which has the same fault - but I can't complain about Samsung's customer service. They were very very helpful and very very fast! I mean they are paying for international shipping to the US and back again so I am happy :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eallan:
Fantastic news man. Keep us posted please. Looks like I'll have to send mine in someday soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] oracleicom:
I had the screen separation problem as well. I called up Samsung and after numerous calls I was able to ship mine to Samsung and have it replaced. I just received the tablet yesterday and it came with a completely different build than the one I received at Google IO. One difference was that I didn't have the option to select the stock Android wallpapers like I had with my previous unit. The only option I had for wallpapers were ones that Samsung provided. The build didn't seem as "buggy" as the one I got at Google IO but it's a little disconcerting that there are so many builds of 3.0.1 for the same device from the same manufacturer. Also I swear the device seems thicker than the one I got at Google IO. I'll need to compare it with my friend's iPad 2 to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eallan:
How long did the process take? How's the build quality on the new unit?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sureshot2k:
Running 7.0 stable suddenly the "Connect" button is grayed out when I select the SSID and choose WPA and enter the password. I have 3 AP's registered and cannot add a fourth. I've tried the manual add and for that "Save" is grayed out. I removed one out of my three and I cannot add it back so I'm down to two. Any ideas?

It lets me save "Open" access points with no password. Weird!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uMP2k:

[Defy General] gladius999:
Hey guys,

Wanted to get a defy but a few things worry me. I saw a few vids on youtube and it appears the defy seems choppy or laggy while pinch to zooming on the web browser. I think the defy was on 2.1 though and maybe it was the recording camera being laggy.

For you defy users here, may I ask if the defy running on 2.2 or modded with custom firwmware is still laggy/coppy while zooming/scrolling during browsing?

How is the pinch to zoom speed compared to the iphone?

Also how is the battery life? Does the galaxy s really have twice the talk time of the defy (as stated on spec sheet 6 hours vs 12)? Is the galaxy s offer a much better web browsing experience?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Defy General] zakoo2:
it really was laggy on stock 2.1, but now i use cm7, and theres absolutely no lagg, it very smooth (both in gallery and in browser). about battery life: my defy lasts about one day before having to charge it again, but im quite a heavy user (lots of talking, gaming, listening to music, surfing). you can easily get 2-3 days out of it with moderate use. as for the galaxy s, never used it more than a few minutes, so i cant tell you about the battery life, but havent noticed any difference in web browsing compared to a cm7 defy.
[Defy General] gladius999:
Thank you for your reply zakoo2. I think I am swaying a lot towards the defy now. As the boot loader is locked on the defy, does it mean that mods such as CM7 can never tweak the defy as much as an unlocked device?
[Defy General] trueCrusader:
Get it, this device is indestructible, and in finding that out, I gained the confidence to really mess around with it, and five brickings, (Yes the bootloader must be er locked Coz I seriously came close to killing the phone but even when the bootloader didn't show on screen it still worked) four service flashes and three attempts at a Cm7 install later I've finally found the firmware for me and I now own the Millennium Falcon of mobile phones

Also I'd like to think the defy must have been released with a 1Ghz chip clocked down to 800 Coz its very o/c friendly ( mines running @ 1100 but I've read reports of 12 or 13 o/cs with no probs which sounds consistent with a 1ghz, should be able to push an extra ⅓)

Battery life is now customisable, I've been playing around with it and now its on an ultra efficient profile & after 12 hours still have half a battery left which is awesome for me

Long story short I love this phone, its truly customisable in every respect & in 6 months it's taken all the **** I could possibly put it thru, kayaking trips mountain bike rides & all, and it just sneers at me in defiance, a throwback to the good old moto brick!!
[Defy General] zakoo2:
well said, brother :D yeah, it's very overclock-undervolt friendly, have been testing both of them, no problem for the defy :)

just read this article if you're interested: http://androidunderground.blogspot.com/2011/05/setvsel-overclock-and-undervolt-your.html

just an advice: don't use official firmware, it's slow and has ****ty drivers, get a modded rom (cm7, pays, miui)!
[Defy General] reaperzero:
the galaxy s uses the same processor as the motorola xt720 which i happen to have. :/ and all stock roms WILL lag most of the time. tried out my friends galaxy s .... was not really impressed. and i do also have the defy. its rugged and almost life proof

[Defy General] geseeker:
Hi! I bought a Chinese retail defy a couple months ago, and have been a happy user ever since. It came with Froyo already installed. So far I haven't experienced the laggy pinch problem you mentioned. And as for battery life, my defy lasts about one and a half days on a single charge. Hope this helps.
