[Eee Pad Transformer General] sjdean:
If the Galaxy Tab is anything like the Galaxy S phone, I would kind of be expecting HD video playback, which would be a big reason for me to hold fire for the Galaxy Tab...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Divine_Madcat:
I don't know if i would expect miracles. All these devices are Tegra 2, meaning the playback experience will be the same. Given that the T2 was hyped as being able to DO that kind of playback, i don't blame you for expecting it, but...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] epicfailguy2:
Frankly I have tried out both transformer and Ipad2 for some time, and if I compare the galaxy tab to the ipad2 there is just no point in not getting the ipad2... The gtab is just an ipad2 running honeycomb with a slithly better screen, and yet a crippled tegra 2 processor.

Whenever I showed the tabs to my friend there was more WOW factor when they saw the transformer dock/undock/me transporting it closed (its darn more fashionable than an ipad or gtab when closed frankly).

The transformer is nice for it's price point as a bridge tablet to kal el, hopefully the transformer 2 will be a killer, meanwhile I think the transformer is the way to go because :

- Asus is pushing updates really quickly and seem to know what they are doing.

- Samsung is just trying to play apple's game rather than creat it's own like asus.

- The transformer is only about 9mm thick on its sides, which is where you handle it, so frankly, the gtab/ipad isn't really thinner when you use it, just a little lighter. Keep that in mind if you never saw a transformer by your own eyes, only the very back of it is 12mm thick, the sides are a perfect 9mm, and a pleasure to handle thanks to the curvy back.

- You don't need a case or screen protector with the transformer, close it, just a random sleeve or a clean backpack and you're set. You didn't spend a dime on a 50$+ case or whatever... So really to me the transformer really costs 50$ cheaper than the gtab or ipad WITH the dock. And I'm not worried the plastic would get scratched or whatever... If you do the math you probably end up with Gtab 500$+case 50$+ adapters 50$ (usb/sd/hdmi) + another 75$ if you want the crappy keyboard dock, that's around 675$ to reach the same features as the transformer in a crappier fashion.

- The keyboard dock is a charm to use as a night/reading stand for the tablet in your bed or couch, no strain on the arms whatsoever...

I can keep going on but, decent design + good dev support and FOTA + unique keyboard feature + insana battery life that even allow to charge up your phone while you tether the internet to the tab = No match for the gtab 10.1 which is just an improved honeycomb ipad2...

So meh, 100 grams and a few milimeters arn't worth it if you keep it real. Of course if you're in love with the gtab design go for it, but frankly, it's just money thrown out of the window, because it's only at the end of this year that the REAL future proof (full HD) honeycomb tablets will come out. The TF is a good value, in six months when kal el comes out it'll still be useful as an appointment internet/youtube stand/kid's gaming/mail texting device in the house, wherease the gtab will simply be useless&fully replaced by the kal el tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikewong27:
I agree... if you compare Tab 10.1 (1.3 lbs) with Acer Iconia (1.67 lb), than you can tell a big difference...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Segnaro:
No external SD card slot doesn't stop you from doing those things.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lqaddict:
I have both asus tf and gt 10.1. I am sending the tf to my friend as a present.

My tf had virtually no light bleed, but gt's screen blows it out of the water.

Another plus for samsung - the number of the recent apps is not limited to 5 :-)

Samsung also feels more comfortable in my hands.

I do like the asus default on screen keyboard better than on sammy, however haptic feedback on the gt is a nice touch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
I heard the upcoming Galaxy Tab 7 will have a 1.2ghz exynos CPU (runs Gingerbread though). If you want to play high-profile videos, maybe wait for that.

That's because the Galaxy Tab came with 3.1 installed and you need to update your TF to 3.1 for better Recent Apps manager. Haptic feedback is kinda nice though :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RXP:
Is it possible to change the Refresh Rate of the screen? The reason being that when I play 25fps movies or 24fps I want them to play judder free, just like my TV which changes to 24p.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
The refresh rate and the frame rate are not related:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate#Liquid_crystal_displays

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate

If you are seeing judder, the cause is not the refresh rate (which is 60 Hz). A typical DVI / HDMI desktop LCD screen also has 60 Hz. Have you seen judder when watching a movie on the desktop display?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RXP:
Yes on a 60hz display you get judder on a 24p source, which is why tvs render at a multiple of 24.

Look up 3:2 pulldown it erik explain things :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6ITdtvFQqY:
I'm looking at the first episode from Game of Thrones, 720p, 23.976 fps. I see no difference between watching it on SGS2 and on a display with HDMI at 60 HZ (other than being ultracrisp on SGS2). I also see no "judder difference" between this and seeing a movie at the cinema. Could it be that I got so used to it? Could it be that the software players do such a good job? I can see some judder occasionally, if I sit really close to the display.

The comments from here are very interesting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RXP:
It's because you are used to it. Please do not read anymore of my post if you are used to it because once you see it, you will see it everywhere!

Basically when you play a 23.976fps film on a 60hz display it doesn't divide into a whole number, so some of the frames are repeated which causes less smooth motion. You notice it mostly on panning shots. A good example of it is in opening sequence of the film Shooter (2007).

You'll always have judder from the nature of 24fps video, as it's low frame rate in comparison to what the human eye can perceive which is probably around 50fps. To notice it, take a look at any talk show or sports broadcast on TV they are broadcast at 50 and 60fps. If you slowed that down to 24fps you'd notice straight away.

Btw started watching games of thrones last night, great show!

hey i just sold my old mt3g using xdas trade in service i have never used anything like this before and i was wondering how reliable the service is because ive seen horrible reviews for places like usell.com. i used gazelle.com becasuse they had a slightly lower offer for my device but it had a better rating and shipping. ive already filled out all the info and there supposed to be sending a box with free shipping as we speek so i was just wondering if any of yall used this before i ship off my phone.

Keep those items safe!

When it comes to protective padding, make sure you take care with your fragile electronics. For large items like computers or displays, we recommend plenty of bubble wrap and a sturdy box.

For smaller items like phones and MP3 Players wrapping them up in newspaper works just as well as Styrofoam peanuts and is way better for the environment.

After you seal your box up, give it a quick shake and make sure nothing rattles.

To ensure a smooth and speedy journey through our receiving and inspection process, please include your Packing Slip in the box you send to us. For more helpful tips, check out our HELP section.

Would you have received more via Ebay or Web Forum? I'm not sure what the phone sells for used, but would imagine so. The transaction seemed to go smooth, which might be the incentive rather than dealing with other resources.

Airave connects to your highspeed internet through router so basically your phone connects to the Sprint network and data through the internet.

I had previously read that some people called an complained about bad service and got an air rave.

Did you just plug it in to your router or did you have to fiddle with it?
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
supposedly the router is supposed to be plugged into the airrave.. but it limits your router speeds (if you are wireless that is, dont know about wired router).. it took my wireless speeds really low, i have heard that you can plug it into the router but i havent tried.. i actually am not using mine right now, because sprint is having some major network issues where i am, and this actually just magnified them in my house.. and everytime i would leave my house it would drop my call, or lock my phone.. which was a major pain, once they get the towers here fixed i am going to try it again, hooked from my wireless router..

Hola, yo tengo el ACE de telcel, estoy corriendo la version 2.3.4 de samfirmware, fijate que logre resolver el problema de la pantalla que se apaga aunque l sistema seguia corriendo haciendo imposible usar este telefono, ve a ajustes-> conexiones inalambricas y redes-> ajustes wifi, despues presiona el boton que despliega el menu ( a la izquierda de boton de home) dira "buscar" y "avanzado" elige avanzado-> directiva de inactividad de wifi y seleccionas NUNCA.

Con esto debes solucionar el problema si tu pantalla se apaga multiple e inesperaas ocasiones mientras usas wifi. resulto ser un problema con la directiva de conexion del wifi al momento de poner la pantalla en reposo.

En cuanto a la red 3g y wifi si al momento solo una de las dos funcionara bien por que el CSC que samfirmware tiene no es para bandas americanas, usa el 3g en la calle y el wifi en casa... listo

espero que sea de ayuda.

Hello, Folks,

I'm using a HTC Thunderbolt with PS 1.4 and am unable to update to the new 1.5.

Will there be a way to install this update if I am not connected to the VZW network? I am currently living in Saudi Arabia (i am from Kansas(insert joke here)) and I am using the STC network with their sim card. I can not get connected wifi due to the proxy problem either.

I am able to install .apk files with android manager, but I first need the downloadable file.

Thanks,

george
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
i dont think so, but no worries, im sure by the time youll get a chance to install, there will be a downloadable file, if your phone has 5g you can probably download it directly to your phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
You don't need to be on the Verizon Wireless network for the update to be able to be installed.

Any data connection, be it GSM/UMTS 2G/2.5G/3G, or WiFi, will suffice. The update process is performed over the TCP/IP stack. In case you want to get it over cellular data, you need to remember that the update is about 105MB in size.

About proxies: there are a few applications available on the market that allow you to set Android's proxy configuration, though I am not sure if these settings affect anything besides the web browser.

[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
You must have all bloatware intact for the update to be able to install.

The solution for now would be either restoring /system (and only /system) from a CWM backup (via advanced restore) — in case you made one before removing bloatware, or making a new backup, flashing the 2.4.x SBF and updating to 4.5.608, and then using advanced restore to only restore /data.
[Droid 2 Global General] Jan1torEarl:
For future reference use the Titanium app to "freeze" bloatware apps. That way they disappear but you can un-freeze instantly if needed.

P.S. I also got OTA from .607 to .608. I assume the only real change is the fix for Exchange?

Hi,

I already flash my original firmware from 2.4.330.a956 to 2.4.29.a956 but the system update shows "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete." There is no downloading icon at all. After I have rebooted few times, the phone still shows the same message.

Is there any other way I can update from 2.4.29.A956 to 4.5.608.A956?
