[Droid 2 Android Development] aeidian:
If you're a fan of stock (aka vanilla, aka blurless, aka nonbloat, aka....awesome) like Fission gave us in 2.2, I'd suggest flashing Apex 2.0. They made it release candidate up from beta last month, and I'm in love. There doesn't seem to be alot of fanfare about it. I would have thought that since there was such a fan following of stock fission, and he's decided to drop the D2, that people would be all about it's "sister", Apex. Stock GB, you can't get any cleaner. Sure CM7 and Liberty have some extra tweaks, but if you're a barebones guy, Apex is the way to go. Here's the link on droidforums.net

[Droid 2 Android Development] popezaphod:
I was running Fission but was frustrated at the lack of updates and GB. I've been running Liberty GB 0.8 and have been pretty happy with it. I am curious about Apex and may give that a go at some point.
[Droid 2 Android Development] MikeyNick:
Thanks for the replies everyone!

I decided on Fission for now (2.6.1 I think) Black Edition. Just a version up from what I had before, but i gotta say I love Fission! I think I'll just keep this until CM7 is official. Considered giving Apex a try, but it seems like CM7 will be right along here so I can hold out until then.

Wich software is the best to sync my Samsung Galaxy SII with the iMac? Is there a good alternative for kies?

If i install it on my mac it will not show in the programs folder?

Google Music
[Galaxy S II General] The Raptor:
I cannot sync contacts and calender with Google Sync
[Galaxy S II General] bothfly:
There are quite a few FREE choices out there, but if your willing to spend a few bucks here is what I'm using.

First off you need a Google account.

Then on your Mac, you can sync Contacts into your Google account by going into the Pref's in Contacts and adding your google account.

Next up is iCal, I use BusyCal, it works very well with Mobile Me and the Cloud, can download a fee trial to see, but it does the job to get the iCal info to and from the GS2.

Finally is Media, I've tried several ones and found that the Missing Sync does the best job to sync iTunes Music and Movies as well as a great job to sync iPhoto.

You will have to have NON-DRM music to get it on the GS2, use NoteBurner to strip it.

What I like about The Missing Sync is that I can plug in the GS2 and it will place my new photos or home videos right into iPhoto without me dragging or dropping anything, works like as if it were an iPhone. I installed an app on the GS2 called AutoMount that does what it sounds like, plug in the USB cable and it automounts the SD card, then auto syncs with the missing sync and then auto disconnects and keeps charging, its great.
[Galaxy S II General] MaTiCeK-:
SyncMate, the free version will do wonders for PIM, the premium one even adds media syncing capabilites.

If you stick with the free version, you can try using doubletwist for media. Alternatively buy Tunesync or a similar app in Android Market and go on using iTunes.
[Galaxy S II General] steviewonders:
Just get a PC.
[Galaxy S II General] The Raptor:
Thanx for the information.

How can i put Office and PDF files on the SD card? My iMac does not see the SD card.
[Galaxy S II General] skuizy:
You can also try iSyncr, a very nice tool to sync with iTunes.
[HTC EVO 3D] simpat1zq:
Has anyone tried a hold like THIS ONE. I'm thinking about getting one so I can use it while running, but I'm just afraid of the phone falling(Flying) out. And does anyone know if the touch screen would work through the covering?
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
Looks good, but yeah I hear your concern about the phone might be flying out while running and swing the arm to hard.

It doesn't seem to have anything on top of the insertion point to secure the phone. Maybe you have to mod it a little, i dunno.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
i wouldn't worry too much their pretty snug i have one for my itouch and it doesn't move at all when you tighten the velcro band around your arm it basically seals itself

Edit: and to save you some money their is also this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Blue-SPORT-ARM-...868534?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bc4cb636

this one is just like the one you linked http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Gym-Armba...655725?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20bac8806d
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Incredible-smartphones-protective/dp/B003ZJGZ8O/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

I used it for my OG EVO and am now using it for my 3D. It works great. It's quite snug, but that's how it should so it doesn't fall out. I haven't noticed any condensation like that one reviewer stated. I've used it for long runs - half marathon, 10ks, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] simpat1zq:
And will I be able to use the touch screen at all through the clear cover on the arm band?
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
yes, you can use the touch screen through the clear cover
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
Will it fit a 3VO with a TPU case?
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
I Don't think so. It must be nude.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 657471:
I use the old one I had for my EVO 4G and it works fine too. Can't remember where I got it, but it was a snug fit with a flap at the top to stop it from flying out. I'll try to take a picture later.
[HTC EVO 3D] EJerVJerO:
I bought one of the red ones that OP mentioned and it fits well and haven't had any issues with it at all. The quality I was a little worried about when I bought it but it seems to be pretty decent.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
I end up buying one armband for the ATT infuse 4G off ebay for about $7.5 shipped from USA (HK is cheaper but i didn't want to wait that long), I reasoned that since the infuse is both taller and wider (but less thick) a 3VO in TPU case should hopefully fit.

I should get it later this week or early next week, will report then.
[HTC EVO 3D] simpat1zq:
Thanks, I ordered this one off of ebay.
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
So i have a new 3d of course, and i have been doing some of these tricks in our development portion.... one of them was pretty much a profile update... since ive done that, my 3g (which has never been good in the area im in) has be on point, i mean im getting 1.4mb down in an area that i could barely pull 400k before. i guess you can say im looking to see if anyone who has recently updated their profile on their phone notice a difference in our network. cant really say its taylored to the 3d alone, i tried it on wifes evo shift and shes getting the good speeds now too...
[HTC EVO 3D] sickskillz14:
It's most likely the network congestion dying down. At my house when I first got the 3d it was low around 200kbps then went up to around 400 after doing the fix posted in the Dev section.

Now after checking today I am also at 1mb+ around my house and area, so either Sprint has been doing some work on their network or the masses have put down their EVO 3d's since launch. Either way can't say I can complain :)
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
I tested speeds on my trip home last night and my upload was consistently higher than my download. My download dropped as low as 7kbps, with 3 bars. My ping was 2200. Ping went down to 1700 and it then floated between 100kbps and 300kbps with 4-5 bars.

A couple hours ago, I couldn't stream music without it stopping ever 10-20 seconds to buffer. Now, I'm testing at 1.3mbps down and 500kbps up.
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
that was one of my major stick points... prior to these past couple days, i couldnt stream music, watch netflix or anything, hell even facebook updated slow.... now everything is moving, and i just ran another speedtest...
[HTC EVO 3D] codee:
Its probably all the people running speed tests 50 times a day that are congesting the network... Kidding... But actually I've never had a problem really - i pretty much use pandora and slacker exclusively for music on the highest quality setting without issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] spacekimo:
So here's the problem, guys:

Whenever I try to take 720p, after clicking the camera button to finish the recording it slides the video, but the camera remains black and doesn't show anything (freezing).

You can use HOME button to go the main menu, but still after relaunching camera app it slides the photos but no image from camera at all.

It starts working again only after rebooting. Got NoDo, changed registry setts only in unlock state and dehydration.

UPD: it also freezes sometimes even at capturing 480, but not always. in about 40-50%.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incrediblenotinstock:
what are some things you guys do with the xoom that makes you happy that you spent 600 $ on it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Get an OTG cable and a USB controller and play some emulators. You can also try and load Ubuntu on it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and an HDMI cable. Hook the xoom up to the TV and browse the web or play games. Download a remote desktop client and access your computer from anywhere. Just a few things.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychokitty:
This, along with Drop Box and a word processing app, can allow the Xoom to replace your laptop entirely. As stated, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse will make such tasks easy.

I currently have control of seven computers, my website, and I'm working on my pc controlled entertainment system. I also have surveillance cameras tied to my desktop, which I can monitor using my Xoom from anywhere. I'll be upgrading to x & z motion control this summer.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] godsfshrmn:
Has anyone found a way (or an app) to increase the mic volume? When I am google video chat with someone they say they can hardly hear me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CelticWebSolutions:
Snap! I was just about to post the exact same question. I've hunted aroudn and found a fair few people asking the quetsion in various threads but can't seem to find an answer, I know it can be done as I've had it too loud on other phone and they've tweaked it and altered the volume so surely it's fairly easy tweak (if you know what to tweak) to do it the other way. Probably just altering a register somewhere.

We got my mother in law a transformer and she calls us on Google talk. She can't hear us very well and we can only just hear her too. I know the speakers are very quiet but Google talk is just silly, even at full volume it's still very quiet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elbee222:
I would also be very interested in learning if there is a way to increase mic volume.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Thus far I'm not aware of a way, but I too have the same issue. Mic is ludicrously quiet, only picks me up reasonably well if I turn the tablet so the microphone points directly to me (and hence, I can't see the screen).

Short of Asus fixing it, or a third-party making a fix (which will likely need root access to apply), the only solution is to use an external microphone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oztraze:
Similar experience with Gtalk.. however not much of a problem with Skype.. heard that the pinout is similar to iphone.. so any iphone compatible headset should do the trick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CelticWebSolutions:
when speaking to my mother in law my father in law iss often there as well so headset is not an option.

Yet another thing we need a fix for! This fix list is geting longer :( Poor sound at the best of time to having quiet poor sound makes it almost unuseable!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ran_k:
i have the same problem with Fring
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CelticWebSolutions:
lets hope one of the clever bods can fix it for us :D

I am rooted and this was one of the reasons I did it.

Rooting is very easy to do on here now with the pure root package and I can't really see any downside to it other than it doens't update OTA but thats hardly a killer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] silverball.slayer:
The microphone is bad on the Acer A500 as well. Trying to use the google voice to text is rather frustrating because it affects the accuracy of the translation. I was hoping the asus would be better in this regard, but if it's not then there's no point in switching tabs. I guess I will just have to speak LOUDER! :D

Rob
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CelticWebSolutions:
nobody worked out a way of fiing bad mic volume then?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hoang51:
The sad thing about the mic's location on the TF is that it is facing the wrong direction to pick up any voice. I too, am having issues with the TF not picking up my voice very well. I was hoping that there is a fix by now, but guess not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iansykes:
voodoo

For rooted users you can install the voodoo kernel which improves audio including micropone volumes. From what i read I am tempted to root my device just for this.

Search on the market for voodoo, (and then show me how you did it :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CelticWebSolutions:
I wasn't aware voodoo had any effect on mic? Plus it has not effect on speaker volume, only volume / quality on headphone output (can connect external speakers to it via that) I may be wrong though. I already have voodoo but use volume+ to increase built in speaker volumes. Mic is still terribly quiet

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FinalJenemba:
Im getting a new tablet soon and I think the 10.1 is my favorite of the moment. But getting dust under the screen is one of those things that would drive me nuts. :p So just curious how wide spread the issue really is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joebob1:
You should search the forum for build issues, but I went through 3 tab10.1 and they all had dust under the screen.

I'm really sensitive to flaws and I can see it ONLY with the screen off and in really really bright rooms or in sun light. also, so far I haven't noticed any new dust that is getting in under the glass. So, I ended up with one that had just a few dust on the edge of the screen and I don't notice it under normal use.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
No dust issues here or atleast haven't noticed under normal use. Absolutely loving my tab :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] luigig:
Like joebob1, the dust under the screen is clearly visible only when using the tab outside, under the sun ligth, and with a black background or the display off/in standby.

I bet that when the dust is checked under these conditions more people will report this problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Canadoc:
so seems those mocking transformer for its build hre have dust and oil blob issues. Seems every tab is far from perfect....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FinalJenemba:
Thanks guys, this is exactly why I wanted to have the poll. You get a few noisy people with bad luck and suddenly the 10.1 is junk because of a dusty screen. The poll is showing pretty much what I expected, the majority of them are fine.

To be honest im starting to lean pretty heavily towards the flyer for other reasons, but when it comes time to pick something in a couple days its good to know the tab is an option. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] flintdragon:
I have the oil blob issue too. Do you have more information/link to this? Like to know if this is something that can't be avoided or something I definitely need to exchange for a new one. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Canadoc:
Seems it is a result of glass and LCD touching. Usually heat triggers it. Price of being so thin is the 2 pieces are too close together. Seems to be common prolem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Is there a way to create an icon on my home screen, that when tapped, would act as a shortcut and open up a widget, such as a calendar widget?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Like what widget? You can add a widget to your homescreen by long press on the home screen. The menu will pop up and you can select from the widgets you have... you can also create a shortcut to any app by the same long press and selecting shortcuts...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pancake345:
If you're opening up something its an activity/app not a widget. You don't open a widget a widget opens an app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
I think OP is talking about having a shortcut that applies a widget to the home screen. I find that this would be useful if you say had a backup of your homescreen. Whenever I load a backup of a homescreen configuration I had, the widgets would always say "problem loading widget." The backup only restores shortcuts and placements. So this would save you from having to delete and readd widgets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
I have 2 suggestions.

Power Strip

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.intuitit.android.p.powerstrip&feature=search_result

or Quickdesk Beta/Pro

https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result

I use them both. here's a brief run down of how they each work

Power strip - it's a bar along the bottom of the screen with buttons for access to all your installed applications, shortcuts, widgets and whatever else you can figure out to put in it. i LOVE IT. It's 2 bux, but WELL worth the cost IMO. you can assign it to your home button or the hold search key (i use the home button for quick and easy access) but you can stuff as many widgets in there are you want and THEN SOME.. it's awesome! PLUS.. you can set it up to launch in ANY APP. say you're in maps.. but o snaps.. you forgot to turn on the wifi.. hold search and up comes powerstrip without even leaving maps.. you have your settings widget on the bar.. open it up.. tap the wifi button. slap the back key to exit powerstrip and voila.

Quickdesk - think if it as ONE of the panels from you homescreen. It's just one page that you can put widgets on.. on shortcoming... no scrolling widgets with this one. but likewise it can be accessed anywhere without leaving whatver app you're in.

These are both GREAT choices and i use them both... powerstrip is DEFINITELY the more flexible of the two though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mhsamma:
Ok just to confirm, a lot Widgets CANNOT be activated without being as widgets on the main screen. However, in launcher pro (not sure about other launchers), if you hard press and select "shortcuts">"application" then select the widgets (if u see any) that u like. It will also give u an option to customize the icon of your choice. This is one way to activate a widget by simply clicking the icon. Hope I helped.

Is there any GB rom that can record 720p video at 30 fps with normal flow (like the 800x480 option), no jerkiness and artifacts ?

I ve tried so far Leedroid 3.8.0.2, some builds of insertcoin and rcmixS but all of them had out of sync audio or artifacts and totally unacceptable quality.

Is there also any possibility that this could be fixed with the official HTC GB release ?
