[Epic 4G General] pkny:
The evo 3d seems thinner then the evo 4g in screen width. It kinda like a moto phone which is a bit taller.

This is me but i really wanted a slightly wider screen or something on par with the evo. I guess i will be staying with my epic until the SGSII comes or something comparable.

The colors also seem washed out compared to the epic. Not bad but not what i am used too.

Dear Friends,

Since monday night I am looking for a way to install CWM on my i9003 and then setup Touchwiz on my i9003

but I couldnt find how to setup CWM?

can someone send me or redirect me to the information source detailed explanation of CWM installation on i9003SL please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kkrraazzyy:
Dude there is no CWM for i9003 but skin 1980 is working on it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Misledz:
CWM Means Clock Work Mod. Method of flashing a ROM for faster/better or totally different UI changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] braveBuddy:
Its a custom recovery which makes it easier to flash ROMs and other parts but its not yet available for our phone and looks like its gona take some time for that to happen.
[LG Optimus 2x] ll_l_x_l_ll:
Hi.

so i want to back up my rom and try a new one. because so much stuff installed and tweeks i have already made i dont want to lose them all.

what is the possible way to backup everything. and then try a different rom, if i didnt like it i can go back to this rom like nothing happened ?

titanum backup only backup your applications as far as i know. not the whole rom with application

Rom Manager... i tried to do backup once before but it failed to find the rom when i went to the recovery. i dont know if i did something wrong back then. but any help would be thankful
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Do a nandroid backup through recovery
[LG Optimus 2x] b3spok3:
Use ClockworkMod and do a Nandroid. Make sure it's the latest version, as one of the CWM versions wouldn't restore properly without reflashing the ROM over the top. Latest version works really well though.

[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
The OS isnt slow, and it doesnt take 8 seconds to take a picture after loading the camera...it just took me 3 seconds!

EDIT: And more like 5 seconds from a locked phone.
[HD7 General] stilkus:
I would never go after a nokia test or benchmark. dude, they're absolutely locked in an ivory castle tower .. what is an N9 after all .. they're way behind all manufacturers hardware/os and still feel they're n1 ...

our handset shoots very sharp pictures in my opinion and night pictures are just the best (compared to my sisters bb9700 bold/w flash and my brother's optimus 7). I am a previous owner of an acer liquid, sammy i900/i780/ centro/ and much more.

I feel the hd7 is an amazing package if you understand how to use/accept a smartphone. screen size is amusing and for the low capacity battery it stays a full day on a single charge utilizing camera, music player wifi, sadly no bt as it is of no use to me atm :)

peaceout
[HD7 General] SugarMouth:
I agree the native part of the OS is fantastic BUT any market application even after NoDo is painfully slow. I hope this changes with Mango!
[HD7 General] SugarMouth:
Ya you guys are right, it took 5 seconds from a locked phone and 1 second with the camera up.

Silly chart!
[HD7 General] kdskamal:
The OS is not slow at all. Oh, and keep in mind you can start the camera even without unlocking the screen.

[Desire HD Accessories] heartnet89:
Hi,

I bought this HTC Desire HD months ago together with the otterbox case. I loop my handphone strap to the bottom of the case unfortunately, it only last for 2 months and the case snapped :mad:. Do you guys have any suggestions on a case where I can actually attach a handphone strap on? I tried searching on google. No result =(.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
That's an interesting question.

As a hobbyist I reviewed a few cases I tried, although I've not tried the Otterbox.

This one has holes for a strap but I don't like the case itself:

ray-out Silky Touch Silicon Jacket:

This one has holes also but I wouldn't trust the case to stay on if you hold only the strap:

ray-out Rubber Coating Shell Jacket:

This leather one has a tag you can put a strap through:

SoftBank Leather Case:

The one I use comes with a strap but no way to attach it to the DHD:

Brighton Net TPU Case:

I'm assuming the holes shown in some of the cases are for a strap because they are very small.

[Nook Color General] har02052:
The title pretty much says it all. With new tablets coming out at the 7" size, with honeycomb already installed, and they are coming down in price, I might be tempted to go to one of those. The main things that I don't have on my nook that I wish I did was a camera (not so much for taking pictures, but for scanning QR codes and barcodes), and a microphone/headphone jack (I don't use a microphone but I do run a small business and I need to accept credit cards and the portable credit card readers must have a microphone/headphone port in order to work). Some of the new tablets coming out have what I want, and the price just might be tempting enough.

I just wanted to see if anybody got their hands on one (since walmart is apparently stocking them at some stores??) and if they can compare it to their nook color.
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
It's not out yet.

7" Honeycomb won't be supported til Honeycomb 3.2

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-day-one-7-tablet-support-bug-fixes-and-more/

Amazon is rumored that their new tablets will be released Aug - sept this year - so I expect that 7" tablets will be coming to market around that time frane.
[Nook Color General] har02052:
Apparently you haven't seen the postings on engadget and everywhere that show the a100 popping up at random walmarts around the country. It has shown up and it does have honeycomb.

http://www.techspot.com/news/44338-...ly-arrives-at-walmart-with-350-price-tag.html

I know that there are others coming. I just wondered about this one since it was the first to come out.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
And the article you mention says this: "Update: What you see in the wild is a display tag -- not the elusive A100, of course. You can't pop into a Walmart to buy one yet, but if that sticker is any indication, that'll change soon."

The tags are there, but no one yet has picked one up.
[Nook Color General] har02052:
In the posts at the bottom there are people that say that their walmart has both the a500 and a100 in stock.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
5 Hours of battery life... :confused:

I think I'll stick with the Nook for now. If I'm going to give up battery time for something, it better be able to push pixels like a Kal-El device.
[Nook Color General] vtnate:
I just purchased the acer Iconia Tab a100 8gig wifi model last night at my local walmart for $328 (+tax) with a free $50 walmart gift card. I have previously owned the nook color and dell streak and I use my wife's ipad and I have an iPhone 4.

I am honestly thinking of going back to the nook color or waiting for something a little lighter, thinner and less "slippery". The back and sides of the a100 are a slick plastic that makes holding the tab a bit of work.

I have been waiting for the 7 inch honeycomb as my wife's ipad is just too big and heavy and my iPhone too small for the daily reading that I do online and through apps. I thought the 7 inch would be the "just right" size.

It still may be, but I don't think this is my device. Also, not having Netflix is a huge bummer.

I look forward to reading others' impressions as I play with it for the next week.
[Nook Color General] funkyreuben:
My local walmart didn't have them in as of saturday. I plan on stopping at another walmart today in hopes of finding one. If I get one, I'll post a write-up comparing it to my nc.

[Nook Color General] ncmt4g64:
Nook color has a headphone Jack. Not sure if you knew this and maybe its in the wrong place or something but just pointing out its there and works great and so do Bluetooth headsets as well I believe
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
For what he is needing, he needs a headphone jack with the additional mic input (our nook only has the headphones), since the CC reader uses the mic to send data to the card program.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Been waiting for it to show up at my local Walmart along with the Vizio tablet. The Android Tablet landscape is starting to get exciting!
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
I'd be interested to know what the tangible differences are between Nook Color and any tegra II tablet.

The only tablet I've owned is my NC and love it, but want to know if I were to upgrade to any Tegra II tablet ( or later Kal-El ) what noticeable differences would I have with an upgrade.

* Is websurfing / pageload superfast in comparison.

* Is HC multitasking easier to navigate

* Other things I haven't considered.

The only hang ups I have on my Nook ( rooted / OC CM7 ) - and they're minor - is that webpage downloads on WIFI is slower than I'd like and always will want more battery life. Rendering can have a slight lag when resizing .pdf documents. My gaming is very light - so not missing much there.
[Nook Color General] jtxmobile:
I was up for the A100 but with no IPS screen quality and with just 5hour+ battery life it is a no go. I want battery life 8hr and up. Plus it is not as thin as the nook. I am loving my Nook!!!
[Nook Color General] nook-color:
Yeah

The thin form of the Nook Color is definitely a plus. It's one reason I'm not in a rush to upgrade. I am hoping the next generation tablet will have a nice mix of battery life, and power, with a slim form.

Just saw that Sony had a new Screen with ultra low power draw " MAGIC WHITE LCD Panel ". Maybe that'll be the thing that extends the battery life for next generation.
[Nook Color General] thatdude90210:
I have a Galaxy tab 10.1 (with latest update) and the Nook color (running cm7 150 nightly 1200Mhz). The Gtab loads pages faster, maybe not superfast. But the thing that stands out is that scrolling webpages there is as smooth as a desktop browser.

The stock HC browser has something called "quick control" where the browser takes the whole screen, and you access controls (a semi circle control wheel) by swiping the thumb slightly on either side of the tablet. It's awesome, and much better than anything on the cm7 stock browser or dolphin browser.

Honeycomb's multitasking isn't that much better than what you can do now with long press of the home button on cm7.

And just a rough estimate on battery life, based on experience only, is that the Gtab 10.1 would last about 40% longer on a charge than a the NC.
[Nook Color General] wareagleben:
I had really wanted to buy a Dell Streak to replace my Captivate a while ago, before buying a NC. How does the Streak compare to the Nook Color?

I went and looked at the a100 the other day. At first, i thought the features were absolutely great for the price. Then I began to learn why. The body quality is not near the Nook Color, the body is made of glossy-ish plastic, the screen is not IPS, and battery life is half what my Nook gets.
[Nook Color General] funkyreuben:
I just picked up the A100 today and posted a quick video comparing it to the nook color. I'll try and do some pageload comparisons with both stock and dolphin browsers either tonight or tomorrow. So far, the A100 beats NC is sound quality and OS, but is much more slippery than the NC. I'll post some more thoughts as I play with it more. Can't post links yet, but here you can see the video at:

Hi all,

I like slide up unlocker which is come with Lg 2x as default. On the other hand I am using custom roms and think that they are very efficient. However, all of them have different unlocking styles. Mostly, you pull the lock from left to right...

Is it possible to use default lg slide up unlocker while using custom roms ? I would appriciate if anyone can help _

thanks

So, i managed to get 21 hours out of my battery and that was with quite a bit of usage and with the WiFi turned on all day.

I'll share what i'm running.

I'm no expert so i'm only posting what is working for me to help new people out.

Juice Defender

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender.beta&feature=more_from_developer

Ditch your charger - increasing battery life has never been so easy!

Always carrying your charger around? You don't need to!

JuiceDefender intelligently and transparently manages for you mobile connectivity and other battery-sensitive components, greatly improving battery life.

I have this set to aggressive.

Android Booster

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netqin.mobileguard&feature=search_result

Android Optimizer. Make your droid faster. Save battery power. Monitor traffic

Android Booster FREE is one of the most powerful apps that can improve your Android’s performance!

You will find all the following productivity/utility solutions in this app:

Task Killer + Battery Saver + Memory Booster + Uninstaller + File Manager + Settings + Network Manager + Process Manager

These can optimize your android phone via task managers, battery manager, one-click turn on/off wifi, mobile network manager, Bluetooth manager and so on.

The Coolest thing is the Android booster Widget. It’s totally one-click optimization to manage WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile network & power display.

I placed the widget on the screen and after every use of the phone, i always click the optimize button.

APNDroid

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.apndroid&feature=search_result

Control your phone's internet connection. Pay less for data. Save battery life.

Prevents your phone from connecting to the internet over the mobile connection - 3G/EDGE/GPRS. Saves money for the data plan and also improves the battery life. Adds suffix to APN names and types to disable them.

I use this because i noticed that even though i connect through Wifi quite a lot, my phone is still using my data plan also. To make sure i don't use my data plan when i don't want to, i've placed the widget on the screen.

Other

Screen Brightness set to Auto

Bluetooth off unless i need it (AndroidBooster can sort this also)

Same applies to Wifi.

As i said, this is what works for me and i'm just sharing in case it helps anyone here.

Thanks

I'm not a power user.. but I'm getting ~2 days use simply by using Timeriffic with a schedule such as

11pm - turn on Airplane mode (ie. shut off all radios).. I'm in bed and dont want to hear from you :)

6am - remove Airplane mode

7am - enable Bluetooth while I drive to work

8am - disable Bluetooth, set ringer to vibrate

5pm - turn ringer back on, enable Bluetooth for drive home

6pm - turn Bluetooth off

rinse, wash, repeat (the 7am,8am,5pm events are only on weekdays).

There are multiple apps which support this kind of thing.
[HTC Sensation] Basil3:
I've gone through this with every Android phone I've owned. Juice defender etc just isn't for me. In my opinion it just takes away one of the main features of having an Android phone in the first place.

With a few battery cycles, the battery life will improve. Once we have custom roms it will be even better.

Menu / settings / about phone / tell HTC / remove V on both settings and i dropped down to 38ma with wifi on in standby.

If this is what was taking all power from the phone i will have a super phone with the best battery :)

Remove V on both options? huh? I see: Report Errors to HTC checked and two dropdowns.
[HTC Sensation] rawr4dj:
See if just don't get you people. If your just using your phone for bluetooth vibrate rinse not repeat etc? Wtf why do you have a Sensation 4G? It's a powerhouse phone so if your attempting to get 48 hours of battery life(which basically means your phones screen is never on) Why waste 250 on a phone. Get a dumbphone with bluetooth and your battery can last you a week. Now if your a regular person with a smart phone you simply accept that your battery life will be shot your trade battery life for perfornance. If your emails aren't syncing, facebook, twitter, weather, google music, etc. Then a smart phone is pointless. I use my phone white a bit and i've been getting about 9 hours usage with my phone which is greatttt I play angry birds every thing syncs facebook twitter gmail aim Battleheart etc you name it and I get over 9 hours on a single charge that is great.

If you are not killing your battery in four hours or less, you are not using your phone. Lol, in my opinion.

What is the point of having this or any superphone if your gonna cut it's balls off from day one.

If you condition the battery properly from day one, you can use it heavily and still get easily a full day....and that's more than anyone should ever ask for from a device this powerful AND beautiful ;)
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Sorry maybe you missed the point of the thread..........

There's no such thing as a regular user as you state, everyone does things differently. The point of this thread is to contribute methods that extend maxing out our perfomance, game playing, and all productivity on our devices. If you have nothing to add besides rants and flames, I suggest you just hush, watch and learn.

Right now we can't access/disable some programs that really drain juice. So every little bit helps til we get root.
