I just picked up a Griffin dual usb flush charger from Target (around 15$). 1 mA per USB slot. Charges MUCH faster than a generic no-name car charger I was using before. I haven't tried running it with gps yet.

Kinda pricey but nice being able to keep my armrest down with things plugged in.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodeje79:
I was thinking about picking the Griffin Powerjolt Dual micro.....

can you confirm what it says while charging? USB charge or AC charge?

Go to settings -> about phone -> Status

It will say charging (USB) or Charging (AC).

11 shipped 2 day amazon, need to know in next 2 hours please to order in time.

Has anyone tried the ebay seller imobile247 2.1 Amp USB Car Charger For Barnes & Noble Nook Color?

$6.99 shipped from Cali

Sorry, I'm at work right now and won't be at my car until ... oh... maybe 8-9 hours from now (I have to take a shuttle to get to the lot where my car's parked). It might be earlier since I have to leave earlier (dropped off my car for service and am using a loaner today). I can find out for you then but unfortunately can't in 2 hours :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:

thanks again!

I wonder if there is a way to tell somewhere what amount of power is charging.....

I have 2 chargers, one is generic USB of 1mA and it does not charge when running GPS, the other one came with the car adapter and besides not charging it interferes with the FM transmitter causing some noise.

I am wondering why it is so difficult to keep the X10 alive with an 1mA charger?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyBiker:
Hello,

I joined the xda community about a year ago, first with my Htc Magic, then with my HD2. I have the opportunity to get a Samsung Galaxy Tab from some carrier for little extra money of my current Internet plan. And for 10 €/month more, I could get the new 10.1 version...

Although I do know that logically I should choose the 10.1, I still consider the 7'. Why ? Well, it would be cheaper at first. Then, I like the 7' size more and I'm not sure I would need Dual-Core processor for Internet surfing ! Also, the 10' model's phone app is blocked by the carrier, while it's not for the 7'...

But I digress !

Before to sign up to the plan, I'd like to take the pulse of the community. It's something I always do prior to purchasing a new device. I'm use to the HD2 orgy of Roms and OS and I must say that the less-furnished Development section for the Tab leaves me thinking. I don't doubt of the quaility of the ROMS but I wonder if devs are not already leaving the Tab's development for more recent Tablets and devices.

So...If you are a serial flasher like me, is the Tab a good invesmet ? I'd love to flash later CyanogenMod releases when there will be actual Tablet versions of it (for the moment, CM7 on a tablet is still in its early months) and of course Honeycomb or even better, Ice Cream Sandwhich. Will there be dev's at that moment ? Of course, I know it's not an easy question to answer but it's more about the community strengh until today actually...;)

Thanks and see you soon hopefully !;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
cm7 + tablet tweaks = win.

with roms, ill take quality over quantity, even tho there are only 3 2.3 roms, they are all badass.

the tab7 has been the best tech device ive ever owned, i have an ipad but it lives in the draw, its just way to big todo anything with other than using it in bed or on the toilet.

I suggest get the 7inch or wait for the new 7inch (who knows when that will come)

the only negative i have is that theres so many new devices out with dual core ect... but so far it hasnt stopped me from doing anything that these newer devices can do (you can play tegra games via chainfire) but eventually it will become an issue i guess.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thisrobot:
The carrier matters.

More dev work is being done for the GSM variants at the moment. But spacemoose1 does have an alpha hc rom and dev continues in that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyBiker:
Thank you for your anwser and I do agree about quality over quantity...

I'm aware of tablet tweaks from CM7, I already used them on my 4'3 HD2 screen but that not much in comparison of the many tweaks TouchWiz seems to bring to the Android 2.2 UI. Of course, overlay means slower device but oh well...

Is it possible to easily save/back up the stock Android Rom it will be shipped with in order to restore if I need to return it under warranty ?

Thanks !

Yeh, you can do a nandroid backup, or just find your stock firmware, from the website sam-firmware (i think thats it) or just brick it:p
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] mikeeam:
Hope you guys have patient to answer them.

First, I had an iPhone, an Android and now I have a WP7. I alway have two phones, and just sould my iPhone so I need another one. I was thinking about a Nexus S, but I want to try WebOS.

My questions:

I know HP bought Palm. They didn't released any phone until now, right? Are they working on WebOS update? Will it be released to palms handsets? I don't want to buy a phone today and tomorrow they release a new version to new phones and forget about me.

Apps? There is not Kik, WhatsApp, IM+ or whatever, right? I use a lot Google Talk and Kik to chat, and Facebook. There is any GTalk client? Facebook?

Do you guys recommend it? I know that, 99.99% of times, when you own a gadget, you have a bias for it. Being honest, I love WP7, but is flaw is apps. At least, in my opinion.

And.. which is the best hardware right now?

Unfortunately, Palm didn't sell phones in Brazil, so I have to buy one from USA. There is any unlock way like iPhone or already unlocked phones?

Thank you guys!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] nerdcroid:
All current webOS phones will continue to be supported by HP, with the exception of legacy devices (palm pixi/plus, palm pre/plus, and I believe pre 2 I'm not sure though). As far as apps go, their are some great apps, the typical price is a little more expensive than android apps but not as expensive as blackberry apps. I would recommend getting a veer if you can deal with the size, if not then get a pre 3 (not sure if its out yet, lol, if not then get the pre 2). I have the palm pixi plus for Verizon and I love it, it only cost me $70 plus the touchstone back and charger on amazon.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] shahm0nsterr:
I know the palm pre/pre plus/pixi will not receive any more updates, but all new phones released by hp will. I am not sure about the pre 2.

If I were you I would wait till the pre 3 is released on at&t and see if you can unlock it. If you can't wait, check out reviews of the at&t hp veer. It is extremely tiny though.

Webos is my favorite operating system to use. I have used webos, android, blackberry and ios.

Google talk is built in to the messaging app on Webos. There are ways to integrate facebook chat as well.

Check out precentral.net

They have answers for everything involving webos. You will definitely get more help there.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazPL:
I would wait until Palm releases the Touchpad & the Pre3 - Hopefully, they will then "go global". Don't try buying one from the US! If you must, buy it from the UK - HP UK sells contract-less phones (I bought mine there).

There are many problems owning a Pre2 (as I do) outside the "official" countries. No access to paid apps mainly. Although I don't complain that much - I have what I need from free apps.

There is a version of IM+ available by the way. Facebook app comes standard. No GPS navigation except for Google Maps, but that requires you to be on line all the time while using it.

The operating system is SUPERB. The best I've ever used. Nothing comes close. It's super intuitive and FAST.

The phone itself is really nice to handle. I love the fact that it is smaller than most phones, and the hardware keyboard is wonderful.

One minus for the lack of autofocus in the rear camera, but you wouldn't use your phone for "serious" photography anyway.

Good luck!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Jive Turkey:
The first HP webOS phone was release last month, the Veer. webOS 3.0 is coming and will be on the Veer. WebOS 3.0 won't be on the Pre, Pre+, Pixi, or Pixi+. I don't know about the Pre 2.

There's no Kik or WhatsApp, but there is IM+ in the App Catalogue. Google Talk is built in to the default Messaging app. There is a Facebook app built-in as well, but it doesn't have Facebook chat. You can use Facebook chat with other apps.

Definitely. Like you, I have two phones. I have a 2 year old Pre, and a 6 month old Desire Z. I much prefer the pre, even though the newer phone was supposed to be better.

Either the Veer or Pre 2. The Pre 3 is coming within a couple of months though, you might want to wait for that.

I know how you feel, they don't sell them in my country either (Australia). There is definitely ways to unlock them, and I think already unlocked ones too. Before buying one, make sure that you can get a credit card from one of the supported countries. The App Catalogue will only support payment with a credit card from those countries.

Thank you so much.

I'll think about it, cause I really want to try it out. If not now, I'll wait HP here in Brazil. They've said that it will be here soon.

Loved the part about built-in google talk ;D

Thanks! (:
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Johnny Bass:
Both Aim and Google Chat are baked into the stock messaging app for the OS. They have no integration for Facebook chat, but there are some workarounds and it is coming to the touchpad (I would imagine it would come to the pre3 as well).

There isn't a ton in the way of apps on the market, but almost all of the basics are covered. If you want more than what is in the market, you can use preware and keep an eye on the beta feeds.

They do currently sell an unlocked Pre2 if you don't want to wait and see if they will sell an unlocked pre3.

Overall, it is a great OS.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] exsulis:
You might have to wait a little to get the unlocked version of the phone. They do that in the States to get you to sign up for a contract on launch.

If you sign up on your PS3 you get 180 days of free Basic service. Only thing I don't like about Basic is it only plays 30 seconds of the songs in the Premium channels, otherwise it works great and plays entire songs for the Genre channels.

It's surely the best looking music streaming service app. Even the tab in the drop down menu and widget displays the album art.

Now for some improvements: I'd like to see some L and R functionality, landscape support, and this thing NEEDS the ability to move to SD. It's friggin 20 some MB's!

[Galaxy S II General] delinne:
I'm having some serious issues with my phone. This morning the battery was suddenly drained completely, don’t know why yet. Then after charging the phone a bit and rebooting it, it constantly goes into driving mode and starting the voice command application. The most strange thing however is that when I choose to power off the phone, it shuts down but then automatically reboots.

I know I should try factory reset, but anyone else had this problem?

(I have original firmware and the phone isn't rooted)

EDIT:

Doing a hard reset seems to have solved the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] svenk:
Maybe your power button is broken (constantly pressed)? Did the phone get wet?
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I have not heard of this. I've heard of bootloops and the phone rebooting when trying to power off but thats usually due to custom roms and people flashing over other custom roms which causes conflict. I think factory reset may be the only option. However, with the Galaxy S there used to be a way to get into safe mode. I beleive you'd hit the menu button as soon as you saw the Galaxy S boot logo. I haven't heard of a safe mode yet for SGS2 but perhaps someone can confirm if its available in this model?

If you can still get into settings of the phone when its on, I'd try going into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clearning data for voice commands

It almost seems as though your phone is registering home button being clicked thereby turning voice mode on and also turning it back on after a power off.
[Galaxy S II General] staneboy2003:
Hi,

I was have exactly same problem, reset don't resolve my issue.

Solution was to replace my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] delinne:
Thanks for the help, gonna try factory reset first. But this doesn't look like a software problem, so probably gonna need to replace it :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Well this is a strange problem. Is it possible a bread crumb got under your buttons? Or some case is so tight it is pressing on some buttons?
[Galaxy S II General] delinne:
Don't have a case around it, but the power button isn't stuck I think because wouldn't the menu for shutting down the phone etc. appaer constantly? And if it's something under the buttons then it is just bad design, had the phone only a couple of weeks.
[Galaxy S II General] rich2011:
I had the same problem mate. And that was exactly what I thought, I actually started a thread on this problem about 2 weeks ago. Was really strange, people told me to take it back. But What I did was factory reset on the phone. Which still didn't completely solve my problem. So I left the battery out the phone over night. The most annoying thing was, the screen kept turning on, like something was being pressed, can't have been the middle button, because the menu would have come up, it didn't do that. And then to make matters worse the tap to speak driving mode kept coming up.

I then took out the battery and left it out over night. Put it back in, in the morning. Charged it up. Didn't do it again.

Hope that helps. Try it.
[Galaxy S II General] delinne:
Ok thanks, I will try it. It is really a strange problem as you say. After the factory reset the problem showed up again but not as often as before. Also after upgrading to latest firmware today, according to the battery monitor android OS is using 45%, that looks really strange to me.

However when I click the address bar and the keyboard appears on the phone, it locks up for ~ 1 - 2 minutes, and then it either automatically reboots or I have to pull the battery.

Does anyone of you know a chart, that is not (only) based on the android OS version but also on the device?

Thanks to you both for assisting. I have 10.3 installed, can play flash based games, but Opera, Dolphin or Firefox will not play video content. The browser that came with the unit can.

Ok, your problems are the support of the apps, not the actual stock release.

I read somewhere Opera can be made working on 3.x with flash, but how, i dont know and i can be wrong..

you can only ask the apps makers for support here, asking Acer is really not much help..so go around Opera website and ask, or firefox forums..

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
I rooted my Zoom wifi long ago. Flashed all the various Tiamat kernels and followed bigrushdog's 3.1 update with no problems. I recently flashed the CWR RC 4 over the updated 4.0.1 version in Rom Manager. I now see that all my apps requiring root don't work. I have Super user app but don't get the request to grant su anymore. I tried upgrading Super user within the app but it fails and writes a zip update to SD card which is supposed to be flashed through Recovery but doesn't (I suspect because the file is a 0 byte file!).

Any suggestions on how to get root back?

[Solved]: Seems it was a result of trying to upgrade Superuser that I lost root. See the last post below and the solution Almighty1 offers. It worked and I have root back......
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
There is a problem with the latest recovery version in Rom Manager. The recovery from solarnz is probably not at fault, but maybe the interaction of the two. You wil lneed someone with more knowledge than me to help you get root back, but this issue really needs attention. There are several updates to apps that seem to be breaking our Xooms, and there should be pinned warnings or the developers should be making everyone aware of these conflicts as soon as they find out. I had problems and I'm sure a lot of other folks have have problems with these incompatible app updates as well.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangiers:
Thanks for that. It almost seems like Superuser is "degrading" in the sense that I had a number of apps reflected in the Superuser app as having been granted root (but not Rom Manager). However, I couldn't add new apps to it. And when I cleared Superuser data and reinstalled it, none of the apps that required root (and which had worked before) would work.

I also think that the writing of a 0 byte zip update file by the Superuser app indicates a problem.

I suspect the solution may lie with fastboot and re-pushing Superuser and CHMOD(?) file permissions but like you, I am nervous to play with these sort of things. My Xoom is working and until I have the need to change the ROM, root doesn't matter to me....
