Yeah, I got what you were saying. This is also a feature in Sense ROMs. Not with a slider, but with a predefined message like "Sorry, I'll call later" that is automatically sent when you decline a call.

Not quite the same, but useless nonetheless :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Alright I did some searching around and havent found a definitive answer. I'm trying to get my friends Captivate to work on T mobile. This is possible, correct?

Also... Do you have to be rooted and on a rom to do this? If so, what is the EASIEST most updated way to do that? My friend is on stock and I would assume on the latest OTA. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. I can always help anyone that needs help with the Samsung Epic! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
The data won't work on t mobile.the best he can get will be edge. All you have to do is root and unlock. There are one click root programs and tons of guides. After that you can unlock it with apps in the market

Well in july for my birthday ill have like $400 to $500 to get a laptop... what do you guys recomend? I want to start to develop too so what are good computors for that? Thanks :)
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
For 400-500 I would say to go with an Acer computer, while they're not the best on the market they are definitely the best for the price.

[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Newegg or tigerdirect is where to buy. DON'T buy acer, emachines, or gateway. You used to be able to save some money with those brands, but now its so competetive you can find asus, lenovo, and toshiba at the same prices.

Staples pretty often puts out deals to beat newegg and tiger direct.

You can get about an i3 or i5 hp lappy with a 17 inch screen for the mid 400s.

Just keep an eye on slickdeals.net and techbargains.com

You'll fnd something pretty quick.

I also would not buy acer emachines or gateway. Real talk.

[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Well, since he wants to develop, the first thing he should do is format the harddrive and install linux lol. Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04... your choice. As far as RAM goes, get AT LEAST 4gigs. Compiling uses cpu, so get at least an i5, gpu... the only laptops with good gpu's are expensive and you don't really need a gpu to compile or dev, so you'll be good with an integrated intel one... don't expect to game out of it though... and lastly get adequat hdd space... like at least aa 500gb hard drive...

You don't need an Intel laptop get one with a E-350 which is better than Intel HD graphics. If you do get an Intel laptop make sure you get the 2nd gen Core processors because battery life is amazing. Core i3 2310m or Core i5 2410m

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
My opinion lol;

Dell is your way to go. Dell uses pretty decent hardware with little issue from it. the processors are always top I believe only i5s and up now but the best thing is the extended warranty. You will have no issues getting your pc fixed from them if you ever do run into a problem. They send the repair man to my house so no sending the pc off for repair. Newegg is excellent but I don't like not having dells warranty backing it so if your not getting top of the line parts in it from newegg id be careful. Hp, emachine and unfortunately even toshiba now I wouldn't buy because the rate their hw fails. Toshiba used to be my goto brand.

"FREE MESSAGE from VERIZON Please upgrade V CAST Apps. Select this link http://mobile.vzw.com/VCASTApps and the download will start immediately"

I don't think it's that important to me since I am running Miui but really they send text messages now? Do I need to worry about not having the VCast apps?

Just wondering ...

I just got my TF, auto updated to 3.1 ... works perfectly smooth and fine ...

I'm just wondering if rooting my tablet involve has much pain in the ass has jailbreaking an iphone ... especially regarding updates ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adiliyo:
if you don't have a reason to root something, don't just do it because that's what the cool kids are doing.

and if you have to ask why to root, you probably don't need to.

also, this should be in general.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GlassEyedPete:
Probably

I don't agree with the above comment that you should only root if you know what you want it to do. Root it and explore your options. Learn something new. I believe the best reason to root is to overclock, at the moment. You also get some customization options as well (boot animation, themes, systemUI, etc...). I would recommend you root and try some different kernals and roms (I'm running Prime 1.5 and the netformer 1.5 kernal, works like a dream).

Just make sure you perform a nandroid backup before you get too crazy. Seriously, do it.

For the record, I have a jailbroken iPhone as well and the process of updating is way smoother on the transformer. Once you're familiar with the process, it probably takes 10 minutes to boot into recovery, flash the update, and reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theradec:
I maybe completely wrong, but essential apps like Titanium Backup needs root.

That's why I'm waiting for Nvflash version of Prime 1.5
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
why wait? use nvflash to install prime 1.4 and takes two extras minutes to flash prime 1.5 after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
yeah its super easy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
I +1 this. Its not that hard, come on..

also this needs to be in general.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingrat:
one app make it all worth it

ADFREE

no more ads....

and Titanium backup....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
I did root mine way back when because I wanted to:

- Customize

- Explore

- Remove Bloatware (not a lot when compared to cell phones)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reuuin88:
Worth it for me just for the voodoo sound kernel addons. Mmm amp boost and crystal clear sound blows my iPod out of the water.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diablo67:
Jail breaking is a bit complicated,but rooting is much easier,its just dropping the files on the root of the microsd card and tap flash,thats pretty much the basics of rooting,its the developers that have it rough,thanks to them we have it easy.But yes theres good reasons to root your tab.You have overclock kernels to flash,custom roms,themes and theres more to come,i'm sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Carl LaFong:
So then why f*** with it? so you can post later that your TF is a POS?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Baconstrip:
like the guy above said... rooting is worth it for adfree and titanium alone... even if you don't want to install a custom rom (though, how can you not want to install custom roms!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Can't decide? Try it. It is very easy to unroot and go back if you don't like it and keep your warranty. Trust me though, I had doubts once and I will never have any again. Rooted Transformer is more awesome than it already is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] duncan_mccloud:
+1 for voodoo sound added to kernal.. sounds way clearer. Also root for over clock... why sit around a 1 when you can fly at 1.4 or 1.6. I have the desire HD since release also overclocked full time to take advantage of 1.4. You notice a huge difference when going back to 1ghz.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Fallon:
I've had my AT&T Captivate rooted 7 ways to Sunday (currently running an unreleased 2.3.3 derivative called Cognition 5 beta 2). I just can't be bothered on my Transformer though. I haven't been motivated to really sink my teeth into the relatively easy looking process because I don't want to brick it & I'm not seeing any huge benefits yet.

I use Titanium Backup a lot on my Captivate & that's the only thing I'm missing on my Transformer. Other stuff people have mentioned don't really appeal to me at the moment. I'll probably end up rooting at some point, but no huge need for me yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
OK you guys have me intrigued now, how do I root the TF? Also where do I get this voodoo sound thing from and what's a good overclock app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
rooting takes like 10 minutes unless you're a noob... don't see why you wouldn't want full control over your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
The only "risk" of rooting is being tempted to deleted a bunch of bloatware and then messing something up.

However, that is what backups are for. Besides, you always learn a lot from screw ups.

Go ahead and do it! It takes longer to back up than to root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
A couple of questions from a relative newcomer to rooting. (The TF is my first Android device.)

I understand that if I'm rooted, it makes it (potentially) easier for malware to cause problems. How easy is it for me to unroot the tab? If it's a simple process, can I root and make tweaks, then unroot again for improved security while retaining the tweaks?

Also, is it possible for Asus to detect that I'd been rooted and potentially deny me warranty service, and are there are any other possible downsides to being rooted?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
There is an unroot guide somewhere in the forum. Check it out. I never unrooted mine so I cannot comment.

The SU (super user) app has options to notify who is asking for elevation and options to deny elevation on a per app basis.

So far, that has been enough as far as security goes.

I will admit that my TF is by far less restrictive than my laptops or desktops for the single fact that I used it for nothing such as banking or anything that has sensitive information. I also do not sync anythign with Google (don't trust there privacy policies)

I do have anti virus installed as I do on my T-MO MT4G.

The TF is my second Android device so, like you, I am learning. However, if I can be of any help, just fire a message.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luola:
just a question, will rooting resolves the laggy flash video problem?

Also, I'm not very happy with the microphone performance on TF. I tried to do speech to text on google map and no matter how many times I tired it always return me the wrong result. I also tried to play back some files recorded by TF, It sounds terrible.

will rooting solve this issue as well?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
Think of rooting as unlocking your device to be able to run apps or do things that you wouldnt be able to without root. It wont fix anything just by rooting but you can then install root required apps that may help.

Do you have the latest flash installed?

There have been posts from people that their mics and sound is bad. Test it by downloading a voice recording app and see how good the playback is. If the sound and mic are really not acceptable quality then take it back and see how your supplier can help. The mic and sound on my unit are very good so I know its not a problem with all Transformers.

Mark.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewitte:
It was necessary for Titanium backup and getting data/appdata off my gtablet. Overclock is nice to have as well. I went from completely stock to fully rooted, updated, overclocked in about an hour and only having this device since last night. Having tried dozens of ROMS of gtablet though it wasn't 100% new to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] masterfred:
I'm asking because I've been around since Windows Mobile 5.0 ... on the older HTC rooting and using custom roms where ESSENTIAL ...

I had a jailbreak experience with my iphone 3GS (when the pdf hack was doable). and I didn't like it, especially regarding system updates ...

So I was wondering the status of Asus regarding root devices (I know you can't just upgrade OTA) ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Baconstrip:
Often times custom Roms get the updates before they even go out OTA.

Once an OTA comes out a rooted version gets released almost immediately if not before. Then you just manually flash it.

Once you root, you never have to worry about rooting again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Since I bought i9003 phone this is my 1st rainy season hence cloudy & last few days I am not able to get gps signal at all, it just refuses to lock on as hardly 2 satellites are visible with poor signal.

I traveled 2hrs on road with angled sunlight but under heavy cloud (overhead) cover today & gps refused to lock.

Is there a a way out or our phone gps is useless under cloud cover, I am wondering what happens under dense fog which we face in winters?

Does that happens to dedicated CAR GPS too?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
At this weekend I traveled under storm clouds and GPS worked well. May be because I did the following:

1. With help of GPS Aids I took LTO data

2. Before going by car I stay while GPS was taking signals.

Then I was going for more then 300 km without GPS loosing.

I noticed with Nokia 5800 that taking position in moving car is harder than when you are staying.

[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
I read elsewhere in the forum that audio quality in the videos shot with the 3D has not been improved over the Evo 4G (which, if you were an Evo owner, you'll know sounds like it's ridiculously compressed). Is this really the case? Has anyone shot video with audio that they can link to? This is probably the one thing that would keep me from going with the 3D -- I know it sounds minor, but I do use mine to shoot video when I'm out and about, and the Evo's audio quality in those videos was depressing.

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Haha, I'll add a link, and no problem. Now I'm going to give my opinons on some of the rumors. I think the Epic 2, and that Verizon slider, are a good thing. Its doesn't directly affect us, but it indirectly does by giving them more phones with keyboards to work on, thus giving more experience, and possibly more stuff for our phone. Now, the debate over whether to get the Epic 2 or the WiThin? Under no circumstance should any Epic 4G owner get the Epic 2. Its not worth the few upgrades you'd get. If you have to have a keyboard, stick with the Epic till something better comes along. If you don't mind software keyboards, I would definetly reccomend getting the WiThin. As for the GB update for the Charge, I could care less. Idk why I even posted that one lol. So there you go.
