[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silrocco:
I bought mine today at Tustin City Office Depot where they only one left beside the display unit, all Office Depots in Riverside County were sold out. I also bought the portfolio to protect it. I base my final choice on a few features and compared the SGT and the Thrive against the K1. What I was really looking for is that I needed to have an SD slot of either size (Thrive and K1). Second, needed to be thin, SGT is the best in class but missing aforementioned. So the K1 won, the thickness is between the SGT and Thrive and offers a micro SD slot.

While in the car before driving back home I unboxed it in the car and set it up to my Google account. Next, I let my 4 yr. old son play with it while I drove home (45 min. drive). When I got home it was my turn to fiddle. My impression are positive, Lenovo engineered and designed this very nicely with an aluminum body and well placed buttons though the volume button can be slightly longer. The screen is very nice, bright and crisp definitions pretty much all 180 degrees. Though, I found the Ambient Light Sensor to be very slow to react so I disabled it.

Now...what pissed me off was that I could not find the Netflix application, the Android Market did not allow me to downloaded it because it's not compatible. So what do I do next? I called customer support and the representative apologize that it was not pre-installed, he said that some where shipped without Netflix installed. He then takes my info and explains that possibly I will have to return it for a new one but that a manager will call me to resolve my concern tomorrow, Sunday.

Update: Got the call back from customer support, the rep told me that there is an update available, an updated version of 3.1. Well people, after I updated my K1 to this new update it sure resolved all my concerns and I'm extremely happy with this tablet now!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zylandros:
Try this apk. This is the one I am using. Also, check your PM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Silrocco:
Thank you for the Apk. I installed it and worked perfect! :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zylandros:
Now if I could find a Skype apk to activate the camera.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Udderjuice:
I literally just unboxed mine and am wondering how long it takes to charge the battery the first time or how I can tell when its fully charged? The documentation available for this thing is next to non-existent.

lol, nevermind, I just pressed the power button and it says 70%!

@OP

how on earth could you even consider a lenovo device ????

*dont buy chinese products !!!*

plus its ugly as hell, and you have a much better chance with samsung for updates. i mean cmon the GTab is far sexier looking... lenovo...pssh.......
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
just one word: BLOATWARE!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Udderjuice:
I’m not really sure I understand all the hate being dished out here. I guess extreme brand loyalty and fanboyism is not reserved just for gamer nerds and console wars.

For starters Lenovo is a great company. They are absolutely HUGE in China and the fourth largest vendor of personal computers in the world. There is no reason to think any less of them than Samsung or Motorola simply because they are a Chinese company.

Second, this is a great product. I fail to understand people have convulsions over it being slightly thicker and weighing slightly more than other tablets. Personally I felt the Galaxy Tab felt too think and fragile. The Ideapad seems sturdy and well built. The little bit I’ve played with it shows it to be smooth and responsive with a beautiful screen. And it is surprisingly light on bloatware compared to many other products of its kind.

Most importantly it runs Netflix perfectly without having to sideload a hacked app or root the device. Enough said. Mine too came without Netflix preinstalled but you can download it (for free) from the Lenovo app store that is installed on the device. I suspect this might be done on purpose. They figure once they get you to create an account then they have you and you’ll buy more apps, but whatever.

This tablet easily stands up to the other tablets in its class and for 100 bucks less (120 bucks less if you order it through amazon right now.) I couldn’t be happier with it.

I guess people will have their loyalties but some of the complaints here are borderline ridiculous.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
of course you'll find fanboyism anywhere, but i'm not an android or specific tablet fanboy. i don't have any problem with lenovo as company, as my current laptop is from them.

but i have a problem with a company preinstalling freaking 30 apps, and you seriously claim that it's "light on bloatware"?

let me get this straight: the ideapad k1 has the MOST bloatware of ANY android tablet out there. This is no flaming or hating, just a fact.

At the same time i understand that the regular user wont care about bloatware and will probably even like seeing 30 apps for free. But i don't think that the regular user will like the hardware design, cause anybody can see that its too thick and heavy compared to the competition.

about the price tag: sorry there are already other players like Asus which already have low price android tabs...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Udderjuice:
If you are going to call all pre-installed apps bloatware then ok. I consider bloatware to be apps I'll never use. Since most of the apps on the ideapad are apps I was going to install anyway, no big deal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
I wouldn't buy the lenovo ideapad because I tend to be brand loyal in the things I buy. As long as they produce products I like, but I hope they sell like hotcakes. More competition is always a good thing for us, the consumer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
well any additional app can potentially be bloatware for a customer. So you have to count all apps in order to compare devices.

i prefer to have a clean state, with only the google main apps (gmail, maps,search) but consider stuff like google books or goggles also as bloatware, because they don't serve main use cases.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NWinfuse:
going to Office Depot this evening to pick up mine...Can't wait to play with it:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kidromulous:
the pad is awesome

I own one and i love it period. Its not huge at all and imo is the best looking tablet to me. Ill be reviewing soon and already taped the unboxing at th3volution.blogspot.com
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kidromulous:
bloatware?

All bloat is uninstallable conversation over
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rmriggin:
I really love the amount of connectivity it has without the need for additional dongles. I would trade having a slightly thicker tab in order to have that instead of having the slimmest.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
Looks like Toshiba is going ultra thin like galaxy tab but it has more Ports. Boy there is some serious competition for market share in Android tablets.

just get a unit today. So far happy with the performance especially the sound quality.

just that still can't find way to root the device.

no someone in this forum can make it happen.

Just read it on Cnet.com. I hope it's for everyone and not just for new customers.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20080486-94/t-mobile-to-drop-prices-on-smartphone-plans/?tag=cnetRiver
[HTC Sensation] KrisHilbun:
looks very interesting thanks for the post :)
[HTC Sensation] alucardunit1:
no this is going to be a contracted version of no contract. you get the lower price signing a contract but not getting the discount on the phones
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/ever...-about-t-mobiles-upcoming-classicvalue-plans/

^^ if your wondering about the exact prices.. =] the plans has already been leaked for a while now.. just sucks that migrating to one of these will cost me 200 since i just renewed my contract.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Cnet said it is for even more plus and even more. It drops the unlimited voice/text/2gb plan from $79 to $59. 5gb is dropped to $74.99. No data is $49.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
so the even more stuff is getting dropped and they are leaving phone pricing to stores? wtf?

edit* - ok so value = even more plus no contract or phone discount and only $5 cheaper than on contract

classic = even more
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
basically there will be a 2 year contract for both plans even more is now classic even more plus is now Value with 2 yr contract.. Value plan is much cheaper because you would be paying full price for your phone while classic offers 2 yr upgrades. If you have a 2 yr contract now to migrate to the value plan u would need to fork over from 0-200 depending on the length of your contract to switch. i hope that helps
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Any change in price to Classic with 2yr upgrades?
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Most of the changes are to value/evenmoreplus side

the unlimited hotspot calling - free wifi - is now a grandfathered plan and if u change plans it will draw from your plan minutes

i'm $10 cheaper than the unlimited value 5gb with my 500min5gb free wifi + insurance so im good. not changing plans ever i guess

more details on what theyre doing http://www.tmonews.com/2011/06/in-depth-with-t-mobiles-new-classic-and-value-rate-plans/

i still dont see new "classic" pricing - i guess that new pricing is just what they moved to last month. looks like you cant get the value plan from anywhere but T-Mo stores/call center or online. Cant do it at BestBuy. Not sure if thats a change. Sucks for people who want to go evenmoreplus/value. the only diff now is long term price and price payment plans.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
I just joined T-mo and signed a 2 yr contract(i'm still in the 14 day remorse period).How can i take advantage of these new prices??! thanks
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
well 4 more days =] till this new plan kicks in

you probably have to return all your phones.. but in the long run you save.

i will be saving.. up to 80 dollars a month.. so that 200 dollar migration fee is eh i may try and talk it out with them since i renewed my contract it a month ago =/.

fun times.... i might as well upgrade both of my other lines lOl get the full discount switch over cancel the data plans..
[HTC Sensation] 2003evo8:
Well I just TRIED to get the info from Tmobile support chat and....of course...they are clueless about the price change. I guess we'll just have to wait to see how are rate plans will change or not.
[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
The new Value plans don't start until the 24th.

The Classic plans are the ones that were just launched last month.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arch_Cancer:
Hi, i just wondering if we can replace Samsung Vibrant screen with the Samsung Galaxy S 4G one so that we don't need to manually make a hole for our front facing camera, is that possible? :confused:

If so, that would be really awesome. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arch_Cancer:
any body? :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatever5:
I dont see why not except, isnt the screen glued on and wouldn't removing the screen make it impossible to re-attach another
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo_x22000:
I think u could...as long as u carefully remove the old glue with some goo gone or something like it..but im not sure what kinda glue to use to reattach the screen

Can we use an entire LCD/Digitizer/Bezel assembly? I'm thinking of buying this

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protohamster:
No one knows if the T959V and T959 have interchangeable parts?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidica:
I've installed an FFC on my vibrant. You don't need a new screen. You just need to take apart the phone from the back. The bezel doesn't even have to come off. Get yourself a Revision 2 FFC and when you go to install it, the only thing you'll need is a guitar pick (works great) or another safe prying tool to take the phone apart, Goo-Gone and Q-Tips. The hardest part of the whole process is the amount of time you'll be sitting there taking the black paint off the screen with the Goo-Gone. It's taken me about 30 minutes on two phones I've done. The hole is already there. Your phone will look just like the Galaxy S 4G!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protohamster:
Thanks for the reply, but the Vibrant my friend gave me has a cracked screen and bezel that I have to replace anyway. I figured it might be easier to just buy a new screen with a camera hole already (which the T959V does have) than to scrape out one.

Also what rom do you recommend? Seems they all have problems - unstable, no 911, no gps etc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
as far as roms go for 911, only the Cyangen based roms have that issue, gps fonuctions on almost all 2.3 roms, and all 2.1/2.2 roms. stability really seems based on the device. i use Miui as a daily driver, yet i see people complain about issues that in the 5 months of running it I have never personally experienced.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LadyGlockenspiel:
I know this is really late and a bit off topic to be honest, but to anyone interested, I just used a LCD/Digitizer/Bezel/microphone/antennae assembly out of a Vibrant to put in my SGS4G. Different application, but I'm sure it'll work the same given the circumstances of any one still wanting to put a front facing camera in their Vibrant. The only difference is I had to switch out the ear piece/audio jack/proximity sensor assembly because it had a different connector on the board. This is the lazy fix for someone who has both phones, but needs to swap out certain parts. In my case it was the entire screen and bezel, but this confirms the OP's question, yes it will work.

Just thought I post results since I came to this thread in the first place looking for answers. :p
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raja4sure:
Can we have a modded app that can switch between connection modes of the network (i.e 2G & 3G) and most importantly without disconnecting the ongoing connection.

when we are connected to a network and if we try to change it to any other mode then it asks to disconnect the ongoing connection.This requires a solution.

Thank you .
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapier07:
That's impossible
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raja4sure:
well isn't there any chances of it..

it would be really very helpful 2 all i think....
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tipu006:
hey frnds i also need it

thanks in advance....:)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxskore:
Neither do I believe its possible. Anyways, why do you need it. I know its not good it gets disconnected, but...im curious ;)

And, its the Network, not the phone's fault!
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raja4sure:
by this way you can use the 2G internet pack as 3G internet pack.which is i think is very gr8.

it is possible in other handsets like the Symbian ones. so can't android support it?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapier07:
Set the network to "wcdma only" you'll be able to use 2G data as	3G
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raja4sure:
In 3G mode it never connects as it's a 2G plan.

the thing is by connecting it in 2G mode and after connection we can change the network to 3G.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowleyfa:
possible on motorola charm. i've tested it
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpkumaran:
possible in phones frm almost all the manufacturers other than samsung.. dunno why.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
Today morning I got a mail from developerATbadaDOTcom(i can't post e-mail address due to low post count :() for bada 2.0.0 b1 sdk release. Ya I got the access to the sdk :p, many others also might have got the mail. In that they had mentioned new features of the sdk followed by notes. One thing which they had mentioned in the notes was a bit questionable. It said : You cannot use NFC and Wi-Fi direct features in previously released bada devices due to hardware limitations. Upcoming devices with full support are required.

Does this mean users of S8500, S8530 and other WAVE models won't have Wi-Fi direct or does it seems to be a mistake from their side to mention it like that?

Sorry to post in this section, I couldn't post in Bada Software Development, again due to lack of posts. :(
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
no

Wifi-direct is not the same as NFC

Wave I & II doesn't have NFC chip so they can't use NFC apps

it is so normal to get this:)

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
I know that working of NFC requires some hardware. Just wanted to know the same about Wi-Fi direct.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
wifi direct will not be available on all 'old' wave models, wifi-direct technology needs different hardware (like 802.11N do not work on old 802.11G chip..)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
I was under impression that it can be supported through software if the device is Wi-Fi capable. Thanks for clarifying it.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] elTorres:
As I know, Wifi direct don´t need new hardware because is only a protocol over Wifi.

802.11N vs 802.11G is different, because it operates in different frequences, so it needs different hardware.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sonalswaroop:
The galaxy S has wifi direct feature(as mentioned in wikipedia).... So probably the wave and wave 2 has it too... I think the devices that support wifi hotspot feature can use wifi direct.....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jake792:
Wifi Direct & Bluetooth 3.0:

1.Transfer speed : almost similar to Bluetooth 3.0:rolleyes:(7.28 mb in 27 sec @ 2.15mbps video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7UhqLu4hKg from 1:00)

2.Other possibilities: In gaming wifi direct could make multiplayer connection, etc......

Anyways most of us use Bluetooth & wifi direct mostly for file transfer, we would not be losing any great feature from our waves but those who need wifi direct for other purposes which is not available in Bluetooth 3.0 would be a bit unhappy in-case we don't get Wifi direct.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] abd28xd:
wave s8500 and s8530

both have 802.11 b/g/n

that means it can operate wifi direct

but not NFC because it needs extra hardware
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
I correct myself, wifi-direct needs particoular hardware but probably wave s8500/8530 have it. (wikipedia says galaxy S is certified for wifi-direct and the hardware is probably the same)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
I read at various places that Wi-Fi direct can achieve max speed of the standard the device supports, means a 802.11n compatible device can achieve a speed of 300Mbps (theoretical) when connected via WiFi direct. So it might be a plus over Bluetooth 3.0.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jake792:
Oops.. Sorry for a misguiding video... here is the one which shows the real capability of Wifi direct:http://thehandheldblog.com/2011/06/20/wifi-direct-galaxy-s2/

Theoretically Wave should have wifi direct because:

1. Galaxy s is wifi direct certified device

2. Wave & Galaxy s have same wifi chip Broadcomm bmc4329.

Hoping for wifi direct on wave........:rolleyes:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
I asked @samsungbada on twitter regarding this. Now awaiting their reply. In the meanwhile can anyone who has upgraded to leaked bada 2.0 confirm that Wi-Fi direct is there or not?

It's just like quick setup or PBS feature. The speeds are nothing special. Standard Wan Speeds. Should be possible on Wave.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] cybekteam:
Are you sure about Wave don't supporting NFC? I read somewhere that Wave has this chip. What about gold pins next to case opening button?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
NFC is definitely not there, still unclear about Wi-Fi direct.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] oOnEe:
Good morning,

I'm looking for a working deskclock.apk for my Atrix. I loved this stock app on my old Desire, and used to left it open during the night as a clock.

I really miss it on my Atrix, coz the screen always gets off when I leave the phone with the stock clock app. opened.

I tried Kaloer Clock but it ain't perfect. Either the screen gets off by itself, or the screen remains on, even if the app is not open.

I tried to extract the deskclock.apk from some Desire's ROMs but the installation failed..

Do you know any similar apps or is there a way to make it work on the Atrix ?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Yaotl:
Is this the stock clock app from android or something specific to the sense rom? If stock, I used one I pulled from CM7 for the nexus one. It just installed like a regular apk.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] oOnEe:
I tried to install one that I get in Desire's CM7 that I've extracted but I have an error duringn the installation. Maybe I should extract the ROM with the appropriate tool :) Will try and let you know, thanks

edit : I've extracted a fresh downloaded CM7 ROM for Desire, copied the file Deskclock.apk located in /system/app and tried to install it on my Atrix, but after a short progress bar I'm stuck with an error "error occurred during kit analysis" (french translation).

I won't even try with the Desire stock app which obviously requires sense...

If someone knows a similar app...

re-edit : the application Alarm Clock Pro does exactly what I was looking for !
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] nitrox1:
