[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich_cathyrock:
Thank you @Rangercaptain!

@Rangercapain, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

I thought AT&T did both now, but the info on the boards conflicts, some because it is dated before you fine folks figured this all out, and some because newer users haven't flashed a custom ROM, but I wanted to be sure before sinking another $350 into a dead-end with the telephony.

I was contemplating the SGSII but at $700 US and without Alter's incredible ROM for everything else, it wasn't going to work, and I really don't want two devices.

I realize T-Mo is on the funky 1700 band here so I knew non-T-Mo SIMs were likely only going to get me 2G, but I wasn't sure about AT&T.

If I go with the AT&T Tab, do you know if the 3rd party SIMs like SimpleMobile or Tru Mobile will also do both 3G and voice? AT&T rapes you like everyone else US domestic on Euro Roaming Data ($15/mb is insanity), and I was foolishly hopiing for a SIM that I could use here and in Europe without re-mortaging the house!

Can I determine this definitively by confirming the GSM bands specified by the SIM reseller?

Thank you thank you thank you :):):)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
My at&t voice, unlimited text, and 2 gigs of data is $35 per month. Like you said, don't use the pay as you go, because that is crazy. Have you seen the Walmart phone/data pay as you go - Straight Talk I think. I will check it out and post back here.

SimpleMobile is exactly the same as T-mobile, so not good with at&t tab or euro tab. I haven't heard of TruMobile. Just google "trumobile frequencies". You want to see 1900/900 or 1900/850.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Straight Talk is a no-go. They sell phones, not sim cards.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjeraldyne:
does it have a minimum data plan requirement? have an ATT iphone4 with the $15 200MB data plan. can i just put my iphone simcard on the GalTab? will i get the dreaded text messages from BIG BROTHER? or will it suffice? or will i be asked to upgrade to a higher data plan?

TIA

jeraldyne
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can put that sim in your tab, and you won't get the dreaded message. They are after unlimited iphone plans. But you will BURN through 200mb in about 20 minutes. Study your at&t bill, then add 1gig for $15, or 2gigs for $25 (my plan).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Tru Mobile is at&t compatable, but the data works out to $350 per gigabyte.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich_cathyrock:
Global SIMs

@Rangercaptain -

You are right about the data cost, but overseas, that is a "bargain" compared to roaming rates even on AT&T. They have a fixed data rate for "business" customers that is pretty competitive ($30/month 500mb in the US, $60 if you are in the UK or AUS, and they are adding 20 more countries in 2012). I may try them for a little while (till I return in late September) since I can always go to AT&T later (there is no contract) if I want to.

Did AT&T let you get a SIM for the tab that does both voice and data without any gripes? Maybe I can just go AT&T, port my number over, and get a MaxRoam for overseas.

I have been researching this like crazy, and at .80 Euro/MB they are about the cheapest I could find for "global" roaming, but they are one of those pay-go cos that eat your balance if you don't use it.

We are in 11 countries (a cruise) and there is no feasible way to buy a SIM in every port, or all I will have seen at the end of this odyssey will have been a ton of Vodaphone stores :eek::eek::eek:.

Thank you so much again!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
I bought the tab at a retail store and told them I didn't want any contract. A few days later I added a 2 gig per month data and voice plan to a family plan. I told them it was for an android phone I had at home. They gave me the sim and I went out, and put it in the tab, and whammo! So sweet, 3g and voice.

When you are overseas there are so many pay as you go options, but yes, it could involve a lot of phone shops. No way to buy vodafone or orange sim and pay the roaming? And I'm guessing the cruise ship and hotels will have wifi for free. There are methods to make voice calls when you are on awifi connection, called skype.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flodb113:
I've been searching for a led notification substitute and the only ones I've found so far are: BLN (needs custom kernel...); NoLed and others like it, which have to power up the screen all the time (mine is the slcd version, so each time it eats up battery, despite the black screen).

Is there any program or workaround to set up the phone like this:

-SMS/Call/Mail is received.

-the normal sound alert plays.

-if you don't open whatever-it-is-that-you-received, the phone keeps playing a tone at regular intervals.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Use this notification flash app, but turn off the flashing and just use the reminder vibrate/tones.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
So there is a I've had no problem club......

I am on my fifth one.....a refurbished scratched one no less.

I have gone three weeks with......dare I say it.......not one problem. Not one. I'm loving my G2X now! I always knew I loved it, just took me 5 trys to get the one meant for me.

So if you are getting discouraged, there IS light at the end of that tunnel. IMO, it is really worth returning 'em 'til you get the one meant for you.

It works awesome. I use it constantly and it isn't failing me!

I'm not sure why this one was returned....no screen bleed at all, data works great, everything perfect. Must have been that scratch. Sucker probably got a pos in return for it LOL.

But I've always known there WERE good ones out there. Glad I finally got mine.

Where is that scratch? Lol I returned one due to the smallest scratch near the bottom. On the screen,so small you have to see it in the right light.lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nextgin:
The refurb you receive aren't necessarily one that a customer had. Especially this early in a phones life. Usually they are new ones that the manufacturer set aside as replacements. That's why the fcc sticker under the battery is the same as a new phone out the box. When you get a generic plan sticker with just a model and serial number, that's an actual refurb phone.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talk2nate:
Hey all I'm in the tablet market with about $300.. I'm trying to make sure the NC is the best choice for me before I go buy one.

I want to play Droid games, watch movies, read books and get good support for my device.

Is there any other tablets in my price range I should be considering other than the NC?

Also can a new NC be rooted and booted right off the showroom floor purchased new?

Thanks for the replies!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
Well, yes, there are other tablets in the 250-350 range. Is your 300 a hard number? I flexed it up and down by 50 dollars.

NC can be rooted fairly quickly. I actually looked online here for a few days before I bought mine and knew what to do off the bat. I knew to buy a couple 4 gb disks, what I didn't realize is I needed sandisk branded ones.

So for what you're going to be doing get some sandisk 4 gb discs, prob 2, and get a larger one or two (16 or 32) for a alternate boot for cm7, sandisk of course.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talk2nate:
So in your opinion is there an easier device to use thats as supported? My $300 range isn't really a hard number.. I'd love a Transformer - but thats over doing it.

I've considered the Viewsonic Gtab cause a friend has one.. but not sure at this point which road to travel.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
Easier to use?

I mean, if we're talking out of the box. Nook is the worst tablet out there because the e-reader and functionality sucks.

After getting CM7, it's pretty nice but that takes about an hour to do.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Once you root the Nook and put CM on it, it becomes golden.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry94:
Nook Color Gaming

There's gaming for you. For what you are looking for, you can't go wrong with the NC. It just depends on if you are willing to take the time to optimize it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
Granted that reminds me of the imei problem with nooks. I guess that's something else to consider. Re: gameloft stuff and a few other programs here and there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarlahRain:
,I agree with iammarino...the nookcolor is pretty sweet once you root it. Cm7... if u want to watch movies I have found the easiest and nicest way is to install Netflix...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
But with my IMEI Generator program... that becomes nothing to worry about.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
true and there are work arounds about other issues like setting model to htc/vision, probably could do htc/flyer and be a bit more accurate with another 7 inch table in regards to market.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuul4nook:
I love my NC. I'm running CM7 off an SD card, and I've used Dizzy's IMEI program so now I have that working too. There are a number of things you can do to make the NC experience very fulfilling. And at 250 new, ~200 refurb, that leaves you a bunch of extra dollars for playing and extra kit (sdcards, case, etc.)

Having said that though, it really depends on your personality and the amount of time you have to tweak the NC to fully bring out it's capabilities. You can now get a refurb Samsung Galaxy Tab (carrier version, not Wifi-only one) within your budget and have vendor supported Gingerbread out of the box, IMEI is solved due to being a carrier edition, slightly better stock hardware without needing to overclock, camera and GPS.

If I had to do it all over again, I would personally still pick the NC simply because I have the time and inclination to play and tweak. But do you?

Today I bought a xperia x10 mini. updated to latest firmware thru pc companion.

But i just can't keep my fingers out of it , this is also my first android phone and i don't have a clue about firmware mods and how to instal.

I would like to update to gingerbread to get the full experience.

How do I do that ? what's the first thing i have to do before making the steps described in this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068553 ?

I really don't want to brick it or something like that because I bought it without warranty.

And excuse me for starting a new tread on a subject thats probably answered but my isp speed is rubbish and browsing thru xda is very slow.

Thank you in advance and for all the great work in WinMo , had a lot of fun!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] o2gulo:
You make sure your firmware is updated to 2.1.1.c.0.0 and your baseband is updated too. Then install CWM recovery ( search for it) then put MiniCM7.zip to sdcard and also gapps. Rename minicm7 to update.zip. Then reboot phone. When the SE logo appears, hit the back buton repeatedly then from the recovery menu, choose install from update.zip and when done, install from custom zip and choose gapps and reboot and yay!

This should be moved to Q&A btw.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sixtysixhundred:
Correct. But you missed out one crucial point. ROOT!

After updating firmware/baseband but before installing recovery, download 'SuperOneClick' and root your phone otherwise you'll not be able to install xrecovery/cwm.

Enjoy your phone.

and another thing does gingerbread bring any battery improvements ? speed and other hardware improvements? and also i have read that with gingerbread you can get only vga shooting? is that true ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kulik:
In case of camera, lot of things don't work. It's VGA limited, no flash, no autofocus. Also you can't read QR codes due to no autofocus. At least this is what i remember from miniCM7 v.2.0.2. but i guess it's the same, since changelog doesn't mention any improvements or fixes in this area. I wouldn't recommend you the gingerbread right now. Froyo is much more stable & bug-free. I don't know what improvements you are expecting, but the best battery life & performance you can achieve with tweaked factory ROM, since ported drivers in custom ROMs are not exclusively developed. But what custom ROMs lack in performance, they gain in feature-rich code from CyanogenMOD. And miniCM has one hell of a theme too!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] musikstefan:
after experimenting with diferent versions i decided to stick with official 2.1.1.a.0.6 it's fast , stable and does not suck that much battery. but even so i modded with undervolt , cpu tuner to lower cpu in call and standby , deactivated all ( background data , wi-fi , bt etc ) and still the battery lasts me 1,5 days and i didn't gave it a hard use.

why would you put all of these functions if you cant use them? had a htc diamond and gave it away for the same reason.

is there anything else to do to it ? i was thinking to make a portable charger
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kulik:
Oh man, i also had a HTC Diamond before Mini:) And to answer your question, my battery lasts for almost exactly 24h, but I use it to full potential: With 3G always on I'm syncing mails, instapaper, RSS & have lots of background apps to alter the UI the way I want. And basically the only thing I do to help battery life apart from what you've already mentioned is that from time to time when I charge phone to 100%, i reboot to recovery & wipe battery data. Then boot to OS & let it completely drain. This always seem to help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] musikstefan:
it seems there are some flaws in some aplications.

did a repair with seus , undervolted , setcpu and instaled only known good programs. it now consumes 50% battery with heavy usage a day ( messenger , browsing , background data , brightness to max , music , calls , 3g on ) and with no memory booster or task killer. i suspect awd.launcer it works fine a day or two but after it becomes a bit slow ...

anyway im glad i don't have to sell it no more :D

It's just one great app! It turns off data traffic when screen goes off, but turns data periodically on for synchronizing mails/twitter/etc. And when you wake up your phone, it takes like a second until the data traffic is on again, so you won't even notice it's been off & it saves a great deal of battery life! And there are more settings...for wifi, or to turn off everything during night etc...

Just messing around, noticed this package that was included with the Dell Streak, installs fine and runs almost right on the Evo3d..(scaling is not quite right).

BUT, if you miss landscape widgets, though these aren't proprietary Sense Widgets, they do work fine..

Extract the zip, then install the widgets first, followed by the stage launcher .apk.

Pull your sense Widgets down before setting the Dell Laucher to default home.

Profit.
