[LG Optimus 2x] afsender:
At first I was very dissapointed with the phone. The LG customized launcher was absolutely not showcasing the hardware capabilities, and the battery life was short, even after months of getting used to the phone.

When I rooted and flashed Cynanogenmod (CM7) to the phone, it was a completely different experience. First and foremost - the battery life is extremely great. It's incredible. And then - with 2.3.4 on it and all other CM7 related configurations, the phone is pretty damn fast! So - either wait for LG to fix up their ROM or install CM7, that will change pretty much everything.

My 2 cents...within the first week I had BSOD on stock and custom roms. Got a refund and havent looked back

In my country the optimus costs around 500 - 700$ and the galaxy s 2 or the sensation are around 1000$. Optimus was released firs and still has no problem keeping u with the new dual core phones.

I love it.
[General Questions and Answers] z0hannn:
Hii,

I'd like to ask few questions about the device GalaxyS2:

1. Does this device able to work in Canada(all networks[or at least most of them]) and in europe?( I mean same device, use it in Europe and then switch SIM and use it in Canada) Did anyone try that?

2.Is there someone form Canada (by chance from SK?)that has this device and can share some info with me?

3. Does it worth buying?, I see that many people have issues with that device ,like, heating when its on lock and short battery life?(maybe there is solutions...)

4. Maybe shall I wait more, for other devices? I like htc sensetion but its not good as the sgs2... (By the way I'm planning to order sgs2 in the end of July or August).

Thanks in advance!!!!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhinged:
I discovered there are multiple models of the Galaxy Tab 7", and I want the best one for rooting/romming/modding etc. Basically I need to root it, allow it to connect to an ad-hoc network, take out some unnecessary features like Samsung's pre-installed software that I can't uninstall, and make the most out of the tab because I plan on keeping it several years.

I currently have the GT-P1000, but I live in America and it's not the most convenient version with the European power supply and constant request by the tablet to put in a SIM card. I want to get the Verizon version but I've seen various things on how well it's been hacked. If I were to get an American version, which one would be the best for modding?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caveman999:
Definately get the ATT version. Its basically like the European tab with some branding. Most of the firmwares and kernels are made for GSM tabs and work perfectly with this tab. Its super easy to root and upgrade the firmware to gingerbread. I know from experience (its the tab that I have)

Im considering using Barnacle to tether my Atrix, but Im not sure if this is a bad idea. I know there was that whole concern about AT&T cracking down on anyone not using their tethering plan, but if I were to use Barnacle would I be susceptible to their "crack down".

If anyone could provide any info I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have auto rotate disabled so when I browse the web I slide the keyboard in and out to get to and from landscape view. Sometimes when I slide the keyboard back in, the top half of the screen will be black with the browser rendering only on the bottom half.

What I did was flash a stock froyo build onto the phone, this is possible as you have s-off. This can be rooted, do that then install clockwork mod. Then on the HTC Vision XDA wiki follow the steps to unroot the phone. Make sure it's for the desire z not the T-Mobile G2.

hmmm... how to flash stock froyo, and where is it m8?

No unrooting was necessary for me

I just sent in a g2 to tmobile for a warranty replacement because my screen stopped working. I was rooted and running CM6.1. I got my new phone in 24 hours and returned the old one weeks ago. It was accepted and I was only charged for the rush shipping I requested to get my replacement phone faster.

It's possible you don't need to unroot. I'm not saying it's a guarantee that they don't hassle you, but on tmobile they didn't check. Obviously it may differ given that you have a desire z and are probably with a different carrier.
[G2 and Desire Z General] russsland:
i bought it for cash, so have to send it direct to htc, and they prob know what they doing, as t mob and other providers not always looking at this things and they sending 1000 back so not all get checked for this sort of things..

So to begin with i am a noob sorry. Now on to what i came here for. I just bought a HTC wildfire and i want to root it seems simple enough so i try to go into hboot by holding down the volume and power and the green LED appears and my phone vibrates a couple times. Other than that i just have a black screen and nothing is happening have i missed something like i need to update something to get into the hboot menu or something because its just sat here on my lap not doing anything except displaying a pretty green light.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blaine12:
I've noticed on the threads here that it seems like most people who preordered went for the 32GB model. I was just curious, why? The only thing that used to take up any real space on my Android phone was music, but with Google music now I really can't see a need for more than even 4 or 8GB, so 16 seems like overkill.

What am I missing?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] figurine:
Movies, fool lol

For when I go on trips
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericlmccormick:
With Google music, Picasa and Netflix, there really is not need for all that storage. I went with the 16GB, would have even gone with 8 if they offered it.

On my phone, the only thing that takes up any real space is ROM backups, everything else is in the cloud.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Why not? :)

You don't know if people would like to put photos, documents, offline GPS maps (like CoPilot or Sygic, that can take 2GB easily), "files" (Win32 apps installer, probably you are PC helpdesk / tech support technician), etc.

Streaming music is good and better for space, but probably not all people has "unlimited data" subscription, especially if you are going abroad. 3G would be expensive!

Other strong reason is to be able to "sell" it in the future easier than 16GB, it would be more interesting. Suppose in 2012, there is new Galaxy Tab 3, then it would be easier to sell 32GB at 50%? I don't know, something like that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] figurine:
I keep full seasons of The Mighty Boosh and It's Always Sunny on hand at all times. Everything else I can watch on Netflix. But occasionally there will be a few movies I want with me when I'm out of town that aren't on Netflix. I agree about the music though. With 20000 songs I can put in the cloud, that'll save me several gigs of space. I got the 32gb version just because you can never have too much space. I wish the UPS man would hurry up and get here lol

Do you guys know if google is going to release something like google music but for movies and videos?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] figurine:
This is definitely true. If you're tethering with your phone's data plan, Although you can download once and store music in your cache, you can only cache as much music as you have space on your internal memory. Even if you download via wifi, space will be an issue
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
Why buy an SUV when all you do is drive back and forth to the supermarket? Why buy a 5 carat diamond when you can buy 4? :D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] siturbo:
I still like storing stuff on my device. Not a big cloud person too much to go wrong.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
16 GB is enough for me. After 2 SDcards crashed on me, I'm putting everything in the Cloud. As for trips, it will come in handy for watching movies, but I will most likely put no more than 5 movies on it at a time. If I go on a trip to sit and watch movies on my Tab all day, then I could have stayed at home.

If I do walk around the house listening to music, I will most likely do it from my phone. I don't see myself walking around the house listening to music, while holding a Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blaine12:
Good answers guys! Just realized I may be the exception but I've got the Thunderbolt with unlimited hotspot, so streaming isn't an issue. I also stream anything I can't get from Netflix from my Windows Home Server via Orb.

With all that said, I'd probably spend an extra $50 to go to 32GB, but $100 more for an extra 16GB of flash memory just feels like a cash grab to me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] frychiko:
A few of us are importing these :) which means no Google Music (US only) and no Netflix (US, Canada, other?). Either way I'm pretty sure 32GB will be overkill for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Framedtrash:
There is no such thing as unlimited phone data in Australia

Because I accidently clicked the wrong pre-order button?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NyPlaya513:
one other thing you need to realize is that if you plan on putting the tegra 2 to the test with all the new games like ShadowGun, you may need some space since I am pretty sure they wont be so tiny of files :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pepsiaddict:
For me the 32GB will be overkill most of the time. But when I travel for work I want to be able to tv episodes with me ... 32GB should get me enough TV to be well worth the $100 premium over a 16GB model.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I filled up my 16GB iPad, so I decided I needed a 32GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 this time.

The cloud is nice, but I'm not always on wifi. And sometimes the cloud is just too slow. I'd much rather have my content local, so it's always there, instantly ready.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
I'm with the OP on the lack of need for the extra storage space (also have unlimited wifi tether on the phone), but to each her own I suppose.

Interesting to hear other folks reasoning though....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cisox:
"640K ought to be enough for anybody"

These devices don't have slots for expandable storage so I think most people are trying to make sure that they don't run into space problems in the future.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joedoe:
You can get an USB adapter and use as many flash drives as you need and for $100 extra you can get not additional 16GB but 64GB flash stick
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mesasone:
I originally pre-ordered a 16GB, but ended up buying a 32GB model locally. I opted for the 32GB model mostly because I could, and because I like never having to worry about running out of storage space.

Personally, I think 16GB is currently the sweet spot for these Tablets. I appreciate the benefits of "The Cloud", but also think we are foolish to rely too heavily on it. I want to be able to store files in the cloud, but also cache the important ones locally for A) reliability (these services do go down from time to time), B) battery life - I have unlimited data on my Captivate, and free wireless tether thanks to CM7 - but constantly pulling files down from online storage is going to hammer the battery, both on my tablet and my phone. With 16GB, you could (theoretically) use 10GB for cloud caching, leaving a generous 4GB for Android and apps (the other 2GB is gobbled up by formatting and reserved for the firmware, etc). With 32GB, I just have that much more space available if I ever find a use for it.

Cloud storage is great for keeping my files synced across multiple devices, effortlessly backing up my data in case my (non-existent :rolleyes:) SD card goes poof, and providing expansive storage for non critical files and data that I could conceivably want to access on my tablet/phone/whatever, but could live with out in the event of a service outage. I think we do our selves a disservice in paring down internal capacity in favor of Dropbox, et el. To me could storage and lots of local storage go hand in hand, as opposed to replacing each other.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iil:
I for one choose the 16GB. I'm just not mobile enough to warrant the need for extra space. I love the cloud for some things like music, but I shrudder at the thought of apple trying to get us to live in the cloud like how they want us to eventually.

If I ever go fully cloud like, it will be using my own hardware that I control.

Alright, I feel like an idiot having to ask this. I am on Bonsai 4.1.1 with their kernel, EC05, and the Bonsai recovery. I want to go to the new CWM 3101 with SFR 111 and their kernel.

So, I am thinking these are my steps;

backup

wipe 3x (I only wiped cashe)

flash SFR 111 from Bonsai recovery (will this include their kernel?)

flash CWM 3101

reboot

Is that the right way to do this?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mssmison:
Here's a modified version of Wysie's NubDialer app to better fit landscape views on the tab. I got tired of trying to find a dialer that fit and worked well in landscape.

It doesn't replace your stock dialer just adds a new one.

I know the icon is ugly, but you can replace it with most launchers.

I've attached the source as well, the only changes I made were to the landscape layout, and removing the 'close dialer on fling' as it's not required.

Feel free to make any adjustments you want, the original source is available here; http://code.google.com/p/nubdial/
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
What about the screen while your on a call, is that landscape or does it just use the built in android screen for that?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mssmison:
This is just a dialer app, so the phone screen would be the same.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
If thats the case then add Go Contacts to that list as well. Im running Tech's CM7 right now and although he said lanscape dialer was in, i dont see it. Hense my first question as well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] k0sh:
you can change the rotate for your dialer in CM7 ,,, fire up the dialer , hit menu and choose perf then go down until last 3 options you'll find the rotation choose check it :)
