I've been searching the web alot for an answer on this, but i've found none. Is there a widget i can use that can show my tasks that i have entered into the "task" app, samsungs todo app. I've tried astrids todo app but i didn't like it and i would appreciate if someone knew about any - preferably resizeable - widget that can show my tasks. In advance, thanks for answering!

Hey there fellas,

Well we all pick our "Favorite" between the two and no doubt they both have their ups and downs but I wanted to start a straight forward list of Pros and Cons of each. Please give facts and information, not just flames/troll posts.

My thoughts

+ = Pro

- = Con

Sense :

+720p camera

+Usually stable/fast response time

-Less battery control ( under/over volting, HAVS, etc )

-UI is usually less smooth and fluid

AOSP :

More or less the mirror of what I said about Sense
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Sense if you have not so much time on your hands, AOSP if you have a ton of time on your hands.

I'm very particular about how my phone looks and acts, and while AOSP setups can be both truly breathtaking and faster, my experience with Launcher Pro and hunting for the widgets I saw in screenshots... yeah, I don't have time for that garbage. I was never satisfied and the widgets always had a function missing that Sense already had covered or it just straight up looked just like Sense. I ended up just flashing Warm TwoPointTwo and went no further than getting the best designed wallpaper I could possibly find and I was more than satisfied. There are still plenty of AOSP setups that flat out make me drool but a lot of times they don't post their mods, and I just don't have time to go back and forth between widgets or search user posts in thread after thread, forum after forum for the hotness.

I don't use my phone for anything but communicating, movies and games every now and then so Sense taking up all my RAM is actually practical. The UI is the single most used thing on my phone so the RAM can have it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reizvoller:
Very well thought out and reasonable. If you like sense check out the "Uber Kingdom revolution" found here :

I actually just tried it myself and I may have swapped back to sense myself! lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Depends on which version of AOSP. Froyo has 720p but gingerbread does not. And it's been my experience that AOSP has faster response time than sense. And as for HAVS and what not, that depends on your kernel, and there are some sense kernels out there with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danrodz:
I love the bells and whistles that sense brings to the phone but battery life is a serious consideration. I spent a lot of time with cm7 and was very pleased with how you could setup every thing but once I got on sense 3.0 its been really hard to go back, even with the battery issues
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmsnyder:
Couldn't agree more. My friend and I flashed JoelZ's Sense 3.0 ROM at the same time, he's since switched back because "pretty UI's don't matter if your phone is dead after a few hours".

Since I text a lot and love the Sense text UI, I don't think I can go back anymore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I get about equal battery on both, but i get the best battery with newts shift and wildstangs stock 2.0, bettter life than aosp. My thing with aosp is i was always tryin to make those look like sense, so i came to the conclusion i prefer sense. Way better cam, ui much better, 2.1 sense super smooth.im not into all those mods, themes, n apps. I like my smartphone for my business stuff and music. The sense features give me all i need, and i can easily get a full day with heavy use on a year old stock battery, just got to be smart with setti.gs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
AOSP if im going to be out for a while ( i carry 3 batteries anyway)

Sense when i need everything to work as planned (albeit with some lag)

so i use both. i cant decide. :p

as any body unroot yet
[LG Revolution] randymandy:
I am pretty sure that Super One Click has an "unroot" button.
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
you don't need to root using exploits. it is already rooted. Just turn debug mode on and set it to internet connection.
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
Correction, I think LG might have blocked the bug allowing root access without exploits. To un-root just open super1click and pores unroot. Then delete the app if it didn't do so after process.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
1) If I freeze twlauncher and have no other launcher will I get the stock android launcher or will my phone be very,very confused?

2) Does anyone have a list of freezable apps because I have like 10 frozen but I don't know if I can freeze anymore and I don't want to freeze apps that I am not supposed to...

3) Assuming we get gingerbread soon, as promised but Samsung is..., do I need to deroot to download the OTA update?

I do not want to flash a custom rom so please don't recommend that.

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnihili:
I'm not sure what you can freeze, but you'll need to unroot to do OTA.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamar1320:
1- you need to install a different launcher first

2- freezing any bloat is fine.

3- no need to remove root for ota to work, however, you will lose root when you get an ota and you must unfreeze everything to ensure the ota installs properly
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
For 1 is there a list of what is "bloat" becuase i have frozen certain things before (my installer and voice commands) and then the phone doesn't work right and keeps force closing applications that aren't there as they are frozen...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamar1320:
sorry buddy, I haven't run a bloated rom in a long time so I don't know what is safe to freeze, but just be smart about it. example. need for speed crappy demo. freeze. something that sounds important like voice commands. don't freeze.

I just tried a fix i saw posted in another thread and it seemed to work but then it asked me to update the app. After I did it broke again and if I try to ignore the update the app simply closes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
where was the fix, and then I just won't update..?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrich137:
I installed the myverizon.apk file in this link and the app comes up but then I get a "Update" or "Cancel" prompt. Update takes you to the market and installs the app which will then cause the error again, and cancel simply closes the app.

PS. I could've sworn this said that it worked for 300 error, but now that I read it again, it says 305. I thought I saw something that said to try installing the VzwSigSSOEngine.apk, so maybe that was how I ended up getting there...

Either way, link is below. Let us know if you figure something out...

Installing only the VZWsigSSOEngine.apk will prevent only one of the errors, but may still cause the other error. You need to install 4 files (within /system/app/), which I've included below. Then grab My Verizon from the android market. I tested this on 4 different roms on Froyo. Haven't tried it on Gingerbread. Seems to work, even on debloated rom too.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Neathawk49:
Ok so heres my situation... I bought the inspire from best buy about 20 days ago on an upgrade, I decided to not get their black tie plan because I did not cause any physical damage to my old captivate so I thought I would be alright to pass on it this time. Until today that is... I had the phone in my back pocket and when I sat down I must have applied some extra pressure to the front and in result the screen in mostly shattered.

So I have decided to come to you guys in search for a few solutions. I noticed that you can add the black tie on up to 30 days from the purchase of your phone but I am doubting whether or not I could convince them to put it on my phone even though the phone is already broken but I was wondering if anyone here has ever had any luck getting this plan on after the damage had been done?

I would hate to think the best buy would really be so ignorant as to make me keep a phone with a shattered screen for the remaining 2 years that is on my contract (granted it is my fault it broke), I would like to think they would help someone in my position out to keep me happy and wanting to return back to their stores.

If there is no chance for this, then what would you guys recommend I do to get this fixed for as little cost as possible.

THANKS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
I just took a captivate that wouldn't turn on and they replaced it with an inspire. So I think they're pretty good about exchanging phones. Unless I just got lucky haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
The way these employees can be,especially at bestbuy,seems unlikely. But give it a shot hello y not
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
With a phone that unquestionably has suffered physical damage, I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to go that far in wanting to keep their customers happy.

Unless this "black tie" thing pretty much effectively says "sure, throw your phone off a cliff, drive over it with a semi, we want you happy, so we'll keep giving you phones," then I wouldn't get your hopes up.

But like Matt said, you got nothin' to lose and everything to gain at this point...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Perseids:
You never know what they will do. In December I upgraded to an Aria for $0.01, I did get the black tie coverage. There was a slight issue with the earspeaker and I took it somewhere local so I wouldn't be without my phone for a matter of weeks. Needles to say, that was a mistake. The repair place screwed it up. I took it to best buy and long story short, after sending it off for repair 4 times they have me an Inspire.

I think it is a very good thing to get to know the ppl that work in mobile and not be one of those customers they hate to see come into the store. They all knew me by my first name.lol They have me my choice of phones and I chose the Inspire and have never looked back!

BB its usually quite eager to please the customer, they know if you are happy with their mobile dept. you may buy your next tv there also.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, there's a teeny tiny bit of difference between a bad ear speaker and a "mostly shattered" screen, but, who knows...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
brick it ..... That is the only solution O.O. I remember while back best buy told me if I bought their protection plan, I could walk out side drive my car over my phone bring it back in and get a new one/ fixed, never tested it though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Obviously don't buy the Black Tie plan and then immediately whip the phone out of your pocket.... If it was me, I'd take the receipt in and say that I decided to go with the black tie plan after all. Then I'd take it in the next day, or the day after that. It might still look suspicious, but not as.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I took the black tie protection for my laptop and TV. Laptop got its hdd replaced twice, without a question. He opened it, took the old one out, put in the new one, and gave the old one back to me.

In my opinion, its worth the trouble/hassle for 3 years.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Neathawk49:
Thanks for your help and suggestions guys, I will hopefully go up there tomorrow and basiclly beg :P thats what I get for not adding it on when I got the phone, just my luck. Btw, I wasnt trying to say that they owed it to anyone to replace it, I was just saying would be a kind gesture to someone,who messed up. All they would have to do is change the screen then sell it refurbished for about 50dollars less than a new one.

Also, why do they allow you to add the black tie within the first 30 days but your excluded if you have already broken it then your not allowed to have it anymore. Just my thoughts on it, please pardon my ramblings..

Thanks again for taking the time to respond though!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well that's actually encouraging for the op, then. Unless of course they were exaggerating for purposes of selling the program. ;)

I guess the only thing that would concern me is the amount of time the op takes between signing up for the program, and "cashing" in on it, so to speak.

I also don't know if they would require physical inspection of the phone when signing up, if done after the initial sale, when of course the brand new phone is there in front of them...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Neathawk49:
Just a quick update, I took it in today and they were very kind and helping and because I had the protection plan on my old phone they said they could add it back and and say that the person who sold me the new phone had forgotten to transfer the plan to the new phone.

They told me to wait 2-3 before I bring it back in for repairs because they are usually not allowed to do this to an already broken phone but the manager gave the approval.

Just thought that I would poke back so anyone in this situation in the future will have a bit of hope. And that this is another reason why I continue to get my phones at best buy... great customer service (most of the time) and a protection plan that is too good to pass up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Congrats. Great news for you.

Try not to shatter the screen on the next one, will ya? :p

And thanks for posting back. It's always good to hear how these things play out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Put it this way its like buying a car with out "protection" and just that one day after the 30 days you run into a wall.. Take the car back and say hey I would like to get the protection plan. 99.99% they will ask let me see the car. Just as in example. Its a business. But I have the Black tie and the buy back on my phone because just in case I do drop it its cover, I had it on my last phone they sent it out for a repair go it back in like a week brand new could not even tell. Rather then going through att paying 5$s on it if it get stolen and having to pay a delectable. Heck I even got water on my phone and it was covered. So its worth it to me. On the phones think about its your MOBILE phone you have it on you all the time rather it be in your pocket in case or in case on a belt clip you always have that chance of missing your pocket and your phone slips. and BOOM broken screen. And then your like AHH!! FML! lol

I work at Best Buy. The plan is accidental coverage. I walked into a freaking lazy river at Six Flags with my old iPhone and it was replaced rapidly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I dont know about rapidly, but they have always been good about replacing my damaged phones. I went through 2 captivates (both took a swim) and they replaced them both, but the process took over 2 weeks. And on my last captivate they let me switch to the Inspire since the Captivate was out of stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Neathawk49:
Here is my update, I took it in a few days after I got the plan added and the guy who helped was very nice. They said that they were doing to do a rapid exchange (still not quite sure what that means but I think it is something along the lines of receiving a refurbished phone) and that they would get my "new" phone in within the next few days which is better than the 27 days I waited to receive my Captivate from being fixed a while back.

What sucks is that I am using my miserably slow iphone 3g until I get the new phone in.

One last question, if I am on the best buy reward zone silver level, does the extended 45 day return policy apply to cell phones? And if so, would I be able to exchange the refurbished inspire for the infuse and pay the difference even though they would have technically given me a refurbished phone?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jeffrey5088:
Well, this is my 1st post.

Seriously need help! I've been asking in one of the thread about HDMI mirroring but seems like there's no response or answer for this.

Well, recently I have bought this baby, have been using it for over 2 weeks' plus.

Lovin' every part of it.

BUT, issue came out when I tried to connect my O2X to my 38" Sharp LCD TV via the provided HDMI cable.

It went well at the first place. (I was trying to play with its HDMI mirroring features)

I tried browsing the web.

Executed few videos.

Tried few of the games too. As I was having fun playing with the games with gyros.

Suddenly the TV flickered with few green lines and then went blank. So i was thinking that maybe the cable gone loose or whatsoever.

I unplugged and plugged it back in. Nothing happened.

So i tried HDMI port 2 on my TV (It has 2 HDMI ports), it worked for a while, but to not over 5 or 10 minutes it went blank again!

I plugged it back to HDMI port 1, nothing happened.

The worst thing is that i tried with another LCD TV, a size of 52", with full capability of 1080p output.

Yes, it worked, but worked only a while. It seemed like the cable had "gone loose" then "disconnected".

Well, in my opinion, the cable connection shouldn't be so "fragile" right?

Why would the commercials boast about LG O2X's HDMI mirroring capability

and being able to enjoy gaming especially with gyro sensors,

when it is so fragile, being unable to mirror the output???

I'm sure it isn't my LCD screens issue. I've tried 3 different plasma TVs.

Is there anyway to troubleshoot? Is it the cable?

Or maybe even worse, it's my O2X??? I'm using stock rom by the way.

Desperately need some advices and comments regarding this issue~ =(
[LG Optimus 2x] arnett:
if you want.. u may test using another cable.. to make sure it's cable or urs 2x cause it..

i never test it anyway as im using DLNA.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Jeffrey5088:
DLNA supports HD too?

Well, it seems hard for me to find another cable here though.

I hope it's software based issue but not hardware (Then it can be solved easily.)

Or else i'll have to visit my retailer then. (It's a good news though when you can get a new cable. Or maybe even a new replacement of O2X~ lol)

So you have the cable right? Can you try it? I'm kinda' curious to know whether theirs any other O2X users facing this "fragile-connection" cable issue.

It sucks when you can't play games, like Tom Clancy's Hawx HD on the big screen via gyros controller.... =(
[LG Optimus 2x] Foetsie:
Got no problems connecting and mirroring mutiple games, browsing and movies (Allthough i think almost games upscale buttugly to a large screen, pixelmania)

But,

I notice that the cable tends to disconnect easily from the micro hdmi hub on the phone when making gestures, which causes a disconnection ofcourse and a black screen. Happens with two cables i have, dont know if its because of a bad micro hdmi hub build on the LG or the cables. I suspect the first one cause it happens with both cables.

So, that could be the problem. What happens if you watch a movie or just connect the LG idle on a table? If it stays stable, and goes unstable during gaming/moving the device around, yeah probably same issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
I had almost the same problem. When i plugged in hdmi into TV, everything went haywire. random touches etc. But after i reflashed the ROM (v10b) or MCR fr18, every thing became smooth.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jeffrey5088:
Gosh.. My problem is when it gone disconnected, pressing it back to the LG's hub didn't resolve either.

The most recent when it worked, watching a full 2-hour movie, was last 2 nights.

Unplugged it after use. But the next morning when i wanted to try again, nothing happened. Just blank screen.

The awkward part is the sound output. Even though nothing was shown on the screen, no sound from the LCD either, my phone's speaker was muted when it was plugged.

This means that the cable is still functioning at a certain stage right? (I guess.)

D*mn this is killin' me......

I bought the TF in part to help me with live blogging, being able to carry one device & being able to quickly upload pics/videos is important to me.

The front facing camera isn't bad but in dim lighting conditions it is really poor, not being able to get pics at evening events is going to be problematic, wonder

if there are any fixes that can help this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spd2Last:
Not to be "that guy", but you shouldn't expect any decent pictures in low-light conditions. Even real dedicated cameras have problems in low-light. If you want good pictures in low-light, you will need a camera with a big sensor and large aperture (usually DSLR).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
I understand that but being able to get pics at events like cocktail parties that are at least a bit visible would be nice:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Get a digital camera with a flash. Look for one that claims "Good in low light" on the box and uses SD cards. Then take your tablet and dock with you. Shoot the picture with the real camera, then take the card out and stick it into the Transformer's SD slot. Or you can use the Eye-Fi SD card in the camera, and install the Eye-Fi app on your tablet. Pictures you take with the camera will be sent over WiFi to the tablet. You won't even need to take the card out of the camera.

Why? You won't get low light photos anywhere near decent quality with the tiny lens on the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Geekbabe:
good, workable plan, thank you!
