[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Spinstorm:
I have both of these. I have a HTC Flyer and a Google IO 10.1 Tab.

They are very different beasts.

In terms of stability and speed the Flyer really flys. I had no crashes, no performance slow down and its portable and has 3G built in. Yes it does feel like a big phone - it even lets you send text messages here in the UK but... it feels so much more stable than the tab.

The tab is much bigger and much thinner but it crashes and freezes more than the beta IOS5 on my iPad 2. It is really disappointing.

Both tablets show slow downs when orientation is changed but given the choice of only 1 of the 2 I would go with the flyer. Hands down.

Yes it is single core but it really isn't noticible, if anything the tab feels slower.

Of course the best tablet is still the iPad 2 in every aspect but not everyone can have all 3 tablets like me!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
I thought the GT10.1 had GPS?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
The Flyer is dreadfully overpriced in my opinion, especially to not even be running Honeycomb. I'd definitely pass on it and wait for the Tab 8.9.

Also: ^^ Yes, the GT 10.1 has GPS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] appelflap:
How is the iPad 2 the best tablet? Didn't see that coming LoL Of course it is not the best tablet.

Anyway, I agree that the flyer is a totally different tablet. I also have both. I use the flyer for on the road, as my PIM and for note taking (love that) and the Galaxy Tab for all other things. Have hardly had any problems with the 10.1(v) . But then again, I mainly use the built-in apps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] falconeight:
the tab is a great piece of hardware held back by a very young os. Right now the flyer is a better choice, but in a month it might be a totally different story.

New Google Videos app today lets you rent movies

but playback won't work on rooted devices, which are most of our devices

Is there anyway to disable the check (like that was done on the Netflix app)

Here it is:

http://hotfile.com/dl/121184492/69bc78b/com.google.android.videos-1.apk.html

EDIT:

WARNING: Trying to playback from the Videos app itself seems to be freezing Tab, atleast for me (im in canada) but it works thru browser as described below)

Original message:

Guys its working for me, even tho rooted (some people can't playback cause it will say you are rooted, if it works, then great)

how?

After renting from the video app (install manually above)

go to 'market.android.com/movies

and play it from there, itll play in the browser

if u get desperate, get Dolphin Browser, make ur UA String desktop, and go to youtube.com/movies and watch it there

(Flash needs to be installed ofcourse)

Cool thing is im doing this on the wifi samsung tab 10.1 (officially only xoom), installed the apk manually

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NicholasQ:
I know this question has been asked because I have searched through these forums and most of google. I cannot find a straight answer on how to unbrick this phone. I will explain how it happened so maybe somebody will know what to do.

So I rooted the phone fine and downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery. I made a image back up and then proceeded to flash a custom overclock kernel. When the phone rebooted, it just went to the mytouch 3g screen and then sits at a black screen and never loads.

I am able to get into fastboot, but it is COMPLETELY STOCK fastboot. No special spl or whatever. I have tried using fastboot commands on the computer to flash recoveries but still no luck. Any command always ends up with Failed: remote not allowed.

I swear, I have spent the past 4 hours looking for a solution and I have tried everything I've seen on this site and nothing works. I'm hoping someone knows something that I haven't found yet.

My question is, how do I get the stock fastboot to let me flash??

Here is the fastboot menu info..

Sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on

hboot-1.33.0013 (sapp31000)

cpld-13

radio-2.22.28.25
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Find the right sappimg.zip, flash it in hboot, and start over
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NicholasQ:
Thank you sir. Even though I don't know exactly what that is, I will research and figure it out. If I have any issues, I'll be back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NicholasQ:
Ok, so for anyone who might find themselves in the same predicament that I was in, here is how to get out..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893004

basically create a gold card, use the appropriate sappimg.img and you will have an unlocked bootloader to flash everything back.

[EVO 4G General] DDiaz007:
So after seeing some of the reviews from quite a few sites, which of you guys are going to still migrate to the Evo 3d from the Evo?

One thing that bugged me was the supposedly bad battery life. If I'm correct doesn't the Sensation share the same Processor as the Evo 3D? So how does it perform worse? Kind of baffled me. Anyhow do any of you guys hold faith?

Edit: I know I should ignore reviews since the only opinion that matters is mine, but man did the phone get slammed. It was quite daunting for me.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
from the one review it got 14 hrs doing a decent amount of stuff with 4g that sounds pretty good stock to me i remember when i got my evo last oct battery life was horrid i couldnt even make it through a 8 hr day so once it gets some tweaks here and there i bet it will be killer idk im only gonna get the chance to play with in the store :/ dont have the money to pony up atm for a phone full price lol
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
I was disappointed mainly by the camera performance (both 2D and 3D). Also, the 3D screen did not meet acclaim. Even the buttons and build quality were questioned.

I agree, battery will be fine once set up properly.

I wasn't forking it over to upgrade anyways, but I was still disappointed.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
My guess is battery life will easily be double what the Evo's is.
[EVO 4G General] DDiaz007:
Exactly. The reviews just disturbed me though. People mention that it is the same phone as the Sensation but with more RAM and a 3D capable screen. The Sensation in reviews had excellent battery life yet in the Evo 3D reviews it had horrid battery life (to some, and no to others). They both operate on the Adreno 220 GPU and they both share the same processor, which is the Qualcomm MSM8660 so that left me quite baffled. Not only that, but they are running the same software unless the Sensation doesn't have gingerbread. So I found it quite hard to comprehend how the EVO 3D would have bad battery life.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
due to the 3d

this is the 3ds stats

175 minutes - Full 3D, WiFi, max. brightness, full volume

262 minutes - No 3D, WiFi off, min. brightness, volume off, power-save mode enabled

and they have a smaller screen the 3ds screen is only 3.53 inches display (3.02 inches wide, 1.81 inches high) granted they have a second screen that is

3.02 inches (2.42 inches wide, 1.81 inches high)

so as you can see 3d is taxing even when turned off sounds like the evo3d has a way better batt life to me
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If you trust reviews the Palm Pre was a great phone.

That's all I have to say about the credibility of reviews. :)

Return policies exist for a reason. :)
[EVO 4G General] DDiaz007:
By 3ds, do you mean the Nintendo 3DS? If so, then I see what you are talking about. The enGadget review was kind of half arsed in my opinion. Especially when the phone was tested with all of the bloody radios being on. That is madness.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
yes im talking about the nintendo 3ds
[EVO 4G General] DDiaz007:
I was planning on getting the phone anyway (the dev base is going to be awesome!!!). I don't really rely on reviews for my decision making. I was just astonished at the scores it received, and I was wondering what others had to say about it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I understand.

Unfortunately the cold hard truth is its very rare to find a reviewer that doesn't allow their bias to OBVIOUSLY influence their review of a product.

Which is pathetic.

For instance, Engadget.

They just posted an article about the BB Playbook and you should have read the sarcasm. (Engadget is obviously extremely pro Apple)

When reviewing they should get an unbranded phone and not be allowed to know the maker until after they publish the review.
[EVO 4G General] DDiaz007:
Yea, Engadget can definitely be bias sometimes. I am looking at the article right now. It truly is a shame.
[EVO 4G General] DowntownRDB:
Look back at the recent goings on at Engadget...some of their best folks are leaving do to internal policies that they can't live with...meaning write the engadget party line and not an unbiased article. Just my 2 cents worth.

When purchasing anything I read the reviews, review the specs, consider the manufacturers production quality but more importantly their customer service record and then make my OWN decision.

Now as other posters have pointed out a large consideration is the Xda developers that are migrating to the EVO 3D. That alone is a very, very positive plus. Yeah, I'm buying the 3D.
[EVO 4G General] Cloyd:

I'm wondering if we can restore directly on second xperia, a backup made on first one!?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Yes, of course. I did the exact same thing 2 weeks ago when I got my new white X10! :)

Make a nandroid backup on the old phone, then power it off, take out the SD card and put in the new phone.

If you are on stock ROM, make sure you flash the same firmware version on the new one and then Root, install xRec and then restore your backup.

If you are on custom ROM, update it via PC Companion to the latest version, flash the correct baseband if needed, then Root, install xRec and then restore your backup.

You should be fine.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
Hello,

I was playing with my friends SGS2 and browsing through the SGS2 section, and found out that couple of their roms include the fix for HTC headset button, which allow users to use their HTC headset buttons with their SGS2.

I was wondering if that could be achieved also with our g2x? I currently have a Nexus One Headphone (ones that came with the Nexus One) and I could not get the Next/Previous Track buttons to work. Only the Stop/Play button works. Would be great if someone could get it working.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ariel123:
i know these two tab are very different due to the size and os but i am stuck between buying either one. i would like the flyer because its portable, fits in my pocket on the go and is easier to manage when in public. but i feel the flyer is not worth its price, its basically outdated due to the fact that its single core and it runs on 2.3 not honey comb. so i am afraid it will crash often like the tab 7 use to do to me. i would love the galaxy tab 10.1 i already seem what samsung did with the tab 7 so i cant imagine how much better this can be. i would love honey comb seem to be very stable and smooth running on dual proccessors. my only one con is that i think its big and yes i have read else where that 10.1 will only be good for couch surfing or home.

so what should i do portabilty, gps, can take it to work and not be in my way, or 10.1 tab
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yongck7:
In my opinion, 8.9" fit in between the portability and home use. One thing I noticed is that Honeycomb UI has to be on landscape, it is kind of inflexible.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ariel123:
The 8.9 galaxy tab release hasn't been announced and i read somewhere its being delayed due to screen issues. But i do get what you are saying about landscape which is not a problem to me. Its just the portability
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
There is already a thread on this precise topic, with quite a few different opinions for you to check out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109074
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I use my Flyer exclusively since purchasing over my iPad for the portability. The 10" screen is really nice for magazines (Zinio), but for surfing the web, and email the portability is great. The pen integration is premium, but really brings this device into the boardroom which was always lacking on my iPad.

Sounds to me that if you get the Flyer you may always regret the single-core hardware. Its a solid performer regardless of the single-core and lack of honeycomb (ay the moment).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] OmniNut:
Yeah, I think the people have a problem with the single-core processor now that the super 'cool' tegra 2 is out. Either way, I just bought the HTC flyer to test it out and I think I will be keeping it because honestly it is simply PRACTICAL. It is easy to lug around, it is discrete, and the pen integration is just a plus. Go to the accessory section and find the post for the $27.00 Fujitsu stylus that works perfectly with the HTC flyer and you got yourself a good tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JiltedCitizen:
I had the same question. I REALLY wanted the Flyer with the pen, Best Buy and HTC turned me off with the extra cost for the pen. $80 really? This is a good review of the Flyer http://liliputing.com/2011/06/htc-flyer-tablet-review.html It shows that it is actually faster than the Xoom...for gaming I don't know. It does use the same chip as the Xperia Play though. So probably no slouch in the graphics area too. But it only has a few programs that actual use the pen. Though if HTC ever releases the API http://htcdev.com/ then the Flyer could become very awesome. They also said they would upgrade to 3.x... So who knows. I like the form factor. 8.9 would be pretty sweet. Are any other tablets coming out with a pen? Though I think I'm leaning towards the Acer Icona.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ariel123:
Well i went out and got the tab 10.1. I couldnt resist the resolutiom and its very light. Im not use to the big screen but surfing the web is so much better its so smooth. Im in love right now. I did try the flyer i wanted the portability but i felt it was over priced. And plus i got a cover for i so i can just trow it in my nike bagg and take it to work. The only one thing that gets to me is that its not 3g but besides that just having a little difficulty holding it while typing. Ill be able to rate this better once i getan andriod phone that tethers

Checked around and didn't see an answer to my question, so here it goes:

Is there a way to swap the SGS4G FFC for the Vibrant camera? Or better yet, can I just yank the cam from the SGS4G and put it in the Vibrant?

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ag2345:
The two camera's are almost exactly the same, soo yes you could switch out the camera's. the problem is that you might run into banding issues since they could run on different voltages, i had a vibrant n switched the camera out for the I9000 camera and it was terrible in low light.

i would test this if i could, but the screen on my vibrant is broken... =P

hope this helps a bit!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Daddy_617:
Actually I heard the sgs4 camera has a little transistor to stop the banding. I had a vibrant and I still have the i9000 cameras I didn't install them because the i9000 cameras show banding. I remember reading on the vibrant forums that the banding stopped with sgs4 cameras. You can get them here globaldirectparts.com

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Lol....

You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.

Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.

The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.

I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)

If you are still worried go to

setting

accounts and sync

and disable it

Hope this helps
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawnachaun:
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.

But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.

First off, don't make a post to ask about this post, you are just cluttering our forums and making it more likely no one will answer you.

What did you put in the modem slot? How much battery did you have when you started? how long is "hours" sitting at the flash screen? Does the tab react at all to being plugged into the wall (not your computer, a wall charger)?

Without knowing those I would say it is likely bricked given the circumstances... If it is, the only way to recover is to jtag it... Connexion does this for about fifty bucks.
