[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
They'll have the Photon and Samsung 2....but regardless of how they sell this'll be they're flagship for 2011.

Now the Nexus4 looks to push Smartphone functionality into another generation so that might change if Sprint gets it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
Nexus-4.0 sounds bad ass. But nobody really knows who will be the manufacturer ? Could be HTC...Samsung...LG...Motorola...

Besides the Nexus-4.0 I don't see any phone beating the EVO-3D until 2012, the Samsung Galaxy S3, or EVO-III.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Well considering that the Photon is by Motorola and the GSII is by Samsung..
[HTC EVO 3D] jxr94:
A rooted E3D will be unstoppable until the nexus 3 that is.
[HTC EVO 3D] twohype:
Short answer....EVO 3D rocks period :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I was beginnning to think that reading is a thing of the past. Thanks for pointing this out!
[HTC EVO 3D] mike21pr:
Im not worried, just like the OG evo, the 3VO will be on top till the next one replaces it since it has pretty futureproofing specs, a strong following / community and best support. There may be devices that will be faster or have more memory o better specs but it will fade into the background like the Epic did imo

[HTC EVO 3D] VintageSin:
If I'm not mistaken the next Nexus is a 3, not a 4.

If I'm not mistaken the LG G2x and SGS2 are a 'tad' faster. And all three are so fast we'll probably not notice a major difference. Definitely slight difference from techies. And it's a bit sad were using a Cortex A8 and not a A9. As stated neither are HTC.

They also don't have 3d and Sense 3.0. And for now Samsung hasn't had a major Dev Community, yes I do know SGS2 was sent to a CM dev. The 3vo has the Evo community + HTC community to boot. It's got a nice dual core and some other cool features. It'll be a great high-end phone. It's definitely Sprint Flagship phone. The Photon and SGS2Within may have somewhat of a shot, but I don't expect it too. And the Epic2 or Epic+ is dead in the water in comparison to the 3vo.

HTC Flagship will most likely be the 3VO. Except maybe the [Kingdom I think].
[HTC EVO 3D] Deltatristar500:
Hi, is anyone else having issues with their screen not turning off when plugged into power? I have my time out for 30 seconds. I need to go to display settings each time and press 30 seconds again and it will work fine, but will happen again in a matter of time. The only thing that is different is that Im using the power/usb adapter that came with my HTC Touch Pro 2 and plugged my micro USB cable to that. I cant imagine that would be the issue. Could this be another bug?
[HTC EVO 3D] knightrocker:
Have u tried deselecting the "keep screen off" option in development under applications in the settings menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] Deltatristar500:
Thanks for the reply. yes it was already unchecked
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
Well TBH, if your having problems and your using an accessory thats not specifically for the 3D, that could be your problem. Most likely its something else, but did you try to see what happens with the normal charger to rule that out?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wickedd:
Is there no way we can use the sense 3.0 camera on non sense roms ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Not unless you want to install the underlying sense framework
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wickedd:
So if i should install the sense framework on my phone i would be able to run those applications ?

Would that be just easy to do ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I suspect not, easiest just to stick with a sense ROM as the bloat comes with the framework.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
I've looked at many threads and apps that say they'll protect my Android device when stolen. However they all presume that it's a phone that I'm protecting and need the ability to send text messages to it to activate it.

Since the Galaxy Tab wifi doesn't have text messaging that makes all of the security apps that seen useless on the Tab.

But, yet apps do exist. Many laptops have apps that can be activated when a laptop is stolen. The famous "This guy has my Mac" was a Macbook protected by an app called "Hidden". It took pictures of the guy that stole the app along with sending links to a map to locate the Macbook.

That's the kind of app that would be useful on the Galaxy Tab wifi. One that can be activated without the need for text messaging and one that takes pictures with the front facing camera to send along with the email.

Does any such app exist for the Android devices? Does anyone know of one that's in beta? I'd be willing to test it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
I recently bought Seekdroid for my phone but I think it'll work on your tablet too, as far as I'm aware it doesn't use sms but a web interface. It can locate, lock and even remoter factory reset your device, it'll also wipe your SD card if you want.

Take a look and see if it'll do what you want. http://seekdroid.com/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
That looks perfect. I'll give it a shot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hdxnickka:
I use seekdroid as well but was wondering if the app would still track the phone if the person who stole it ubinstalled the app or factory reset the phone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sichelmond:
Locked N Found

Best Buy Mobile has an app that will work with an Android Tab or iPad (provided, of course it's connected to an access point or is 3G). It will completely lock down the device and allow you and Geek squad to find it in the event it is not returned. It's not free but, reasonable. If you bought your tablet from Best Buy and got Black Tie Protection on it, it's also included for the length of your service plan. :cool:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Link: http://conclave.notionink.com/showthread.php?767-Honeycomb (I assume this is OK, as you don't need to register to get the ROM. I haven't registered).

This will boot off a 1.2-based GTAB, I used 4349 stock as my baseline. Requires a data wipe, post install. Gsensor and camera are broken with this ROM, FYI. I haven't tried a 1.1-based GTAB but I'm fairly certain it would soft-brick - there's a boot.img in the ROM.

Initial thoughts: Seems similar to the Tabletroms HC16 / Beast kernel already in existence. Haven't gotten to Flash video yet, but high-def video playback is broken for me, so far. Google Market is missing, for reasons unknown (legal reasons? Not sure).

Just a heads up that they did release this.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Damn. It doesn't sound any different from the ports we already have.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I haven't found anything of major importance yet. Mostly HC16 with some tweaks to make it more "Adam" branded.

Still, it's refreshing to see a company making the attempt. Viewsonic, you watching? Where's that new 1.2 ROM? :)
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
i thought the biggest thing would be drivers.... guess not. looks like if you have to install gapps after installing the rom the second post had the gapps dl
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
roebeet,

You know I'm a big fan, but isn't what NI did, essentially releasing the work of the Tabletrom guys, the same as if Viewsonic took one of your roms, made a new bootscreen, and released it?

I'm just sayin...

MC
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think you're not far off the mark - I haven't done a diff yet, but it does seem very similar.

Granted, I can't really say anything since my BoS mod is essentially the same thing. :) But I actually give those devs a nod not only in my update.zip, but also in my boot up screen. In NI's defense however, they've mentioned Tabletroms several times in their recent blog posts.

My bigger concern is whether or not Google will stand up and take notice of this NI ROM (and I don't mean in a good way, I mean in a "cease and desist" kind of way).
[G Tablet General] guitar geek:
Roebeet, I know you are very busy. Didn't a big shot at Viewsonic like a VP of marketing used to read this site. Has something changed. When I called Viewsonic recently the phone messaging system seemed like it was a fifth party support for a fourth party support of a third party support company. I hope you get my meaning. I have not heard or seen anything from Viewsonic in a long time. The news release on their web site makes a big deal out of releasing 3588. Which was actually a recall of the 1.2 bootloader. Have they stopped all support for the G tablet?
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right there.

I think where we've all been failed, and I've been a long time droid owner, now a droid thunderbolt, is Google's release cycle. The original droid came out with 2.0 on it and it was ok, but within a month of any official release of the OS, the code was released on AOSP, and so you could count on the devs to release good ROMS way before the handset manufacturers and carriers did. In the period between release on any one handset, and AOSP you would get the "kang'd" roms. Those are roms cobbled together with bits and bobs from releases for other phones, or betas, etc., and they were pretty good, certainly good enough to hold you over until AOSP became the latest Cyanogenmod and other assorted roms.

So I bought my GTab based on the assumption (mine, and incorrect), that shortly after the XOOM came out there would be kang'd roms that worked pretty well, followed by an AOSP release that the devs turned in to something better than what the XOOM had on it.

I never really cared what Viewsonic did from the standpoint of support because I assumed the minute I bought the GTab that it would be rooted and run better ROMS than they would ever put out, and that was true for Froyo, and is almost there for Gingerbread. HC, we'll see...

Everything that's happened, Google not releasing HC to AOSP, NVidia not getting drivers to devs, has lead to a much more disappointing experience than I expected on this particular device.

Eh, the more I write the more frustrated I sound. I'll stop for now.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The Viewsonic from December 2010 is not the same Viewsonic post-April 2011. Yes, they used to read this forum and their customer service area did too. When we were grumbling about things like Angry Birds support and Flash back then, they (or whoever was developing for them) delivered and right before Christmas, I might add. I had hopes that they would give us continued support. You don't even want to know what I think now -- I've actually been retrained here and in Slatedroid, believe it or not. If I wrote how I really feel, the moderators would have to delete the post due to language. :)

As for Notion Ink, I have mixed feelings. I am certainly disappointed with both the GB and HC efforts so far, but at least they've had recent Froyo updates. At least they have a vendor blog and a forum. That's more than what we have with our vendor. I know that Google's stance on HC is partly to blame for all this, but Viewsonic's silence isn't helping.
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Well that sucks. Way to over hype a release Notion Ink! Pee on you!
[G Tablet General] raphenucleus:
Yeah, I've been wondering that too. When I first heard NI was officially releasing a Honeycomb ROM, I assumed they got the source code, because how can you have an official release of it without getting google's permission (from a legal standpoint)? But when I read their blog post earlier today and realized they were essentially using the tabletrom effort, I thought "uh oh, this won't last very long". I hope google doesn't step in to stop continued progress, because I'm still wishing for a fully functional version of Honeycomb for the gtab (or at least mostly functional with flash; that's the only thing that's prevented me from switching already).
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
I apologize if this has been discussed already, but why can't notion ink get honeycomb source? I mean jeez, asus, acer, toshiba, viewsonic etc... are all releasing honeycomb tablets. Seems like if you are a legit company, ask and you shall receive.

Seems to me either

1. Google refused them source. Or..

2. Already focusing on adam 2, they are content with just lazily releasing a community mod as their own.

I'd be ticked if I was an adam owner. Gtab owners knew going in that the community was going to be their sole support. But if I put up with that circus that was the notion ink adam, I expected at least official honeycomb support.

Sent from my T-mobile G2
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's not the vendor, I think it's the hardware. Elocity, Gtablet, Olipad, Hannspad, Folio, VEGA and yes the Adam - all Harmony devices. Google has seemingly ignored that platform, as well as Nvidia. I almost wonder if Notion Ink wants to get caught with their hands in the Honeycomb jar - would at least make Google stand up and finally take notice to a Harmony vendor.

I know that us GTAB'ers didn't expect much of a future, but we know Honeycomb can work given enough resources. This whole situation has totally soured me in regards to Android tablets, and Nvidia devices in particular.
[G Tablet General] mcp2009:
I didn't expect much when I got my GTab just wanted a cool tab to read and play a few games. I personally am probably gonna get an hp touchpad and give my mom my GTab so she can play games and video chat with her BF when he is in Iraq

Notion Ink Blog

Read the June 25th entry:

http://notionink.wordpress.com/
[G Tablet General] scyld:
What would their motivations be? To make us buy more tablets?

That doesn't seem inline with their "do-no-evil" philosophy, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were to happen, for this reason ;;

But would it be Google that would issue such a request, or the companies that took the Honeycomb platform and developed firmware specifically for their products? I would guess the latter, since it's probably with them that we entered a "thou shalt not reverse compile thine firmware, for it is holy" agreement, not with Google.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
I think you're saying, if someone takes a ROM and modifies it to run on the Notion Adam, and then the folks at Notion stick that ROM on their website, Notion might get served a request to take that ROM down. I dunno, it's open source so other parties have every right to take the code, modify it, and distribute it.
[G Tablet General] StereoD:
Hello I have the gtab the stock rom, if I make the root with SuperOneClick I can then apply honeycomb update.zip?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You don't have to root the device before running one of these ROM updates - the GTAB's stock recovery is not locked down and can accept custom ROM's.

As always, read the modder's directions as they might require things as a pre-requisite. For example, cyanagenmod usually requires clockworkmod as a pre-req. Again, best to ask the modder if it's not stated in their post.
[G Tablet General] StereoD:
Means that it is possible to apply the update.zip in the stock rom on gtab? I can download the file and then apply it in recovery mode?
[G Tablet General] scyld:
I see you also have the Asus Transformer; has that managed to give you more hope? But yeah, Android development is too crazy and basically relies in too many cases on unofficial community developed hacks to make a device useful, and Google isn't taking enough of an interest in its development.

In my non-expert opinion, Microsoft will take the mobile device market, as Win Mobile 7 is getting upgrades to make it more competitive, and if the extremely weird Windows 8 turns out well, being developed to work on both mobile devices and "full PCs," then people will turn to Win 8 devices in droves. It would give devices the greater range of capabilities that Android devices have, but it would also offer the stability and reliability of a centrally-developed OS like iOS.

I was just responding to roebeet, who suggested that Google might issue a "cease and desist" order.

First, Honeycomb is not open source, as Google has and apparently will not release the source code. They are waiting until their next Android version "Ice Cream" comes out to do that, as apparently it will be a unified Gingerbread/Honeycomb OS for both tablets and phones in the same way iOS 4 is. Secondly, Adam's Honeycomb port is hacked together from the firmware of other tablets. These tablets' firmwares are explicitly not open source, I would think that these tablets' manufacturers would issue cease and desist orders, not Google.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
I thought Android was also open source in the sense that it used open source code that was not developed by Google. But I could be totally wrong about that.
[G Tablet General] scyld:
Android apparently uses more than 80 open sources packages:

http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/google/211600843

That, however, does not mean that Android is necessarily open source, unless Google wants to make it so. There are often provisions in open sources packages for their use in non-open source applications.

Of course, they have made all versions of Android open source, except for Honeycomb. Well, to be honest, I don't know the details of Android's licensing, so maybe Honeycomb is officially open source, but unless the source code were actually released, this makes Honeycomb's official status rather moot.

And beyond that, any particular tablet's firmware developed from Android is probably not open source, and as has been said, all the unofficial Honeycomb ports have been made by cobbling together bits and pieces from other tablets' firmware.

[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Guys my tab can't rread multiple memory cards at the same time through a card reader....is there any solutions to this??
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Have you tried the USB Mount All app from the Apps/Themes forum?

And I only ask because I've done silly things in the past: are you sure the card reader itself supports multiple simultaneous access? I know the one I have, while it has slots for SD and microSD, only supports one at a time.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
It supports multiple cards.......and I'm not rooted.......I think usb mount all requires root?!
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
I believe it does. May have to see if the 3.1 update, which is enhancing USB host functionality in general, enables access.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phfoneman:
I have a Nook Color with software version 1.2 and have installed manualnooter 4.6.16 which is working very well. I am trying to get Flash 10.3 without the boot loop problem. I have read that Flash 10.1 needs to be uninstalled and then a new install of 10.3. My problem is that I cannot uninstall/delete flash 10.1.

Here is what I have tried:

I used used root explorer and went to /system/app and flashplayer.apk to either rename it or delete. When I try to rename or delete, it tells me that flashplayer.apk cannot be renamed or deleted because the file system is read-only.

I used Astra file explorer and went to /system/app and flashplayer and opened app manager then selected uninstall and it comes back "uninstall not successful". When I use this same program to edit and delete the file, I get an error stating "error deleting files". Renaming tells me that I have insufficient permissions (I am assuming that is since it it read-only, but assuming gets me in trouble at times)

I used NookColor Tools and tried to clear data and uninstall and it does nothing with no response that anything was even attempted.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do to get 10.1 deleted or renamed so I can load 10.3?

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

Curious as to what exactly "Enable always-on mobile data" does ? Everyone says it is a major battery hog, but what does it do exactly ? And by NOT enabling it, whats it stopping ?

Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
I would like to know this to
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
If enabled, your mobile data is constantly running. If you disable it it goes into a sleep mode 5 minutes after your screen goes off. It also is in a sort of a on-demand state when disabled so it shouldn't interfere with new emails etc being pushed to your phone. I would recommend disabling as it will save your battery life significantly since we don't have root yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] specter491:
Does anyone else have this issue? When my phone is locked, ill press the unlock button, and it takes about a full second for the phone to respond and light up and allow me to draw my password. Sometimes it takes longer than a second. Any one else have this issue or a solution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] IncrediblyDroid:
I have an issue with lag myself. I even installed voodoo KERNEL and Teresa is still some la I hear its touchwiz
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
You could attempt to flash a custom ROM like GummyCharged, TouchWiz kinda sucks.

Also, do you have alot of apps? Too many apps can fill up your phone(I think it's your ROM memory or whatever) and cause it to slow down, I haven't reached that point yet but my dad had to uninstall some apps from his Droid because he had too many apps.

edit: Also forgot, you should remember to kill open tasks/apps you left open if you aren't using them, the phone has a built in task-killer. Just drag the notification bar down.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
This is pretty common behavior for TouchWiz / Stock Charge. There are several steps you can take to mitigate it, depending on how much you want to change your phone.

Step 1 - Replace the touchwiz launcher (with LauncherPro or ADW) [does not require root]

Step 2 - Install a Voodoo kernel. This will significantly speed up your phone, while leaving it essentially stock in terms of look and feel

Step 3 - Install a custom Rom. This will change the look and feel of the phone

Most people in these forums seem to eventually take all 3 steps as it leads to huge improvements in the phone. Check out the Developer forums for the files/instructions for 2 and/or 3
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
I'll second that. Voodoo, memory tweaks and Launcher Pro weren't enough to keep lag off my Charge.

I also had to switch to Gummy ROM to finally gets a phone that was "usable.'

Samsung should be ashamed of the condition their craptastic software leaves this hardware in.
