[G Tablet Accessories] St.Alphonzo:
This mount is so cool! and the price at overstock is so cheap, I ordered one just to I could tinker around with it. Thanks for the link.
[G Tablet Accessories] CosmicVagabond:
When you get it and have it mounted with your G-tab in it, make sure to loosen the tightening screws before you try to adjust the positioning of your tablet. The pivot point between the bracket that holds the tablet and the mount itself is a bit weak and if you try to move the tablets position without loosening it first it will weaken that point. I tried to leave it somewhat loose but not tightened all the way down and still adjust it. Mine failed pretty quickly.:mad:
[G Tablet Accessories] 4.3:
The reviews on this mount isnt that good.

Hows everyones mount holding up?

[G Tablet Accessories] CosmicVagabond:
I've had 3 of a similar mount and 2 have broken in the same spot: The piece that holds the bracket and mount together. This is a high stress area and it really needs to be metal, not thin plastic. I'd say avoid this design unless it has a more sturdy design.
[G Tablet Accessories] sksallaj:
Geez, so you spent like $20 bucks on the app, ~$10 for the mount and another ~30 for the bluetooth gps receiver. 60 dollar value hm?

I use my phone as a wifi hotspot and use the app "tethergps", paid like 2 bucks. My gtab can get gps running off my phone while my gtab also charges my battery via USB.

Though you might have an advantage in case I don't get 3g coverage :-(

So I actually might consider your $60 value alternative.. or you can just get a regular gps receiver from garmin.. those devices are doing more and more than what they used to these days and coming in at a ~$120 price.
[G Tablet Accessories] CosmicVagabond:
Well all of the apps were free. Well, sorta :cool: I would have much rather gone with a smart phone tether situation but I don't have a smart phone.
[G Tablet Accessories] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The tether situation isn't perfect. If you happen to use bluetooth headsets like I do when on the road, then WiFi Tethering wreaks havoc on the BT radio.

I have also used GPS Share to share my phone's GPS rather than using the BT GPS dongle I have ... that too runs into problems when I take a call.

And while a $60.00 Garmin might be cheaper, it doesn't have a 10" screen :)
[G Tablet Accessories] CosmicVagabond:
Yes, I love the big screen GPS, and it places the tab is a good position to use it to surf or utilise the other apps. But the mount has become problematic. I can't find a mount that can handle the jostling and stress of the road. I'm going to try to reinforce the weak point so it can handle the movement.

[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Well, I have a person that is offering me an evo that is completely rootable, in exchange for my epic.. I am kind of on the fence here about this one. I know the EVO has better rom support, and everything, and I've always KINDA wanted one, but the recent progress on CM7 has me kind of wet.... Anyway, what do you guys think? Please be unbiased.
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
Keep your Epic & enjoy CM7!
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yeah man, I just saw your post on the CM7 Thread and I felt bad for you... I guess I should keep my epic.. I mean, the fun is barely starting right?
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
I can't even root this Evo, I'm suffering lol, but a far as you, just weigh the pros & cons on each phone and make a decision, both phones are awesome & you can't lose, but IMO the Epic's long awaited shine is just beginning!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
It's more of a McPhone than the iPhone. It's the Burger King of Phones.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
I have used it.. My sister has an Evo.. I rooted it and everything. If you're a big fan of Sense 3.0, go with the Evo... If not, stick with your Epic... Screen is just so much better.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
No root if its stock and has latest updates.
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Evo is a better phone. Plus official gingerbread and all sorts of kernels.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
If you're gonna trade UP, do a 3devo, not a 2 generation old cpu on evo. That's called "downgrading" regardless of ROM community.:p
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Basically it doesn't matter since both phones are at the end of their life, so even if you do trade you probably won't have the phone 3 months from now....
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
Epic blows the evo away hardware wise and were about to get gingerbread and cm7 etc etc etc and our developers are pretty solid IMO. I wouldn't do it personally. My gf has an evo and I've set hers all up and I def prefer my epic
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
Epic's SAMOLED screen tops Evo's washed out display

Epic has hardware keyboard, Evo does not

Epic has high quality 5MP cam, Evo has cheaper quality 8MP

Epic has superior Hummingbird chip, Evo has outdated snapdragon chip

Those are the reason I choose my Epic over an Evo any day.

Also...(although this might be more of an opinion) we might have less ROM's but they def make it up with their awesome *quality*, while the Evo has more of a *quantity*

Edit: oh, oh! i also almost forgot...we also have the power of the almighty ODIN!!! ;)
[Epic 4G General] readingkeeper:
A lot of the Evo devs left for the 3D.

Sent from my S-off'd, Synergised Evo 3D
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
This. It'd be silly of you, OP, to get the Evo due to it's successor the Evo 3D. Sure, the Evo has Sense 3.0 and cm7 support, but with the Evo 3D around the corner, the future of any more progression may not be so great. I say keep the Epic; the phone's community is growing more and more nowadays and the future of this phone will be much more rewarding, I guarantee.

Plus, we have Odin, so you never have to worry about bricking your phone.
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yeah, I talked to the guy and said No... I'll be sticking with the epic.... However, even though all the "evo guys left to 3d" they still have way more devs than we do. Some of their roms like Synergy look AMAZING, I really wish the Epic would get to that point in the near future.... I mean, epic is obviously a better phone, quadrant on gb pulls consistent 2800+ compared to evos bare 2100, but the Evo just has great roms...
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Agreed on that. But wait until we have Gingerbread source and we should be getting some really good development.

EC05 got pretty good development, but right now our community just happens to focus on leaks more right now,

Once the leaks simmer down and Gingerbread is officially released w/ its source code and everything, we should be getting more goodies.
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
I really hope so... the only real devs we have are like the cm team and some of the miui team.....

Hit thanks if you used it!
[HTC EVO 3D] waynebike:
Worth a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
If you're paranoid, they accept PayPal/Google Checkout. I just ordered one myself. Can't see myself using it all the time, since it won't fit in a case, but it's great for days when you're out for a long time with heavy use.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigant262:
I don't think that code is for 1 day shipping. I think its just for $5 off.
[HTC EVO 3D] AndroidFileHost:
you realize its not actually 3500mah. like half that maybe
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
This info came from Phandroid: http://phandroid.com/2011/08/05/deal-of-the-day-3500mah-extended-battery-for-htc-evo-3d-only-14/
[HTC EVO 3D] bigant262:
What makes you say that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Because many of the third-party batteries you find are actually less than advertised. However like I said above, this promotion is coming from Phandroid.com. On top of that the website selling it has a 30-day money-back guarantee, and you're protected by PayPal if you decide to use that to check out. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

I ordered this battery. I will be peeling the sticker back to see if there is any indication that it is less mah than advertised. I will report my findings as soon as I get it. I will post in both threads if they both exist, that way we can know if these batteries are actually legit.

Does this mean this battery is actually 3500mah? I don't know for sure yet. It is charging now. After a couple days I will post back my findings.

I just recently discovered SIMple Mobile. They offer SIM cards and an unlimited prepaid service. I have read around and seen that they use the T-Mobile network. Now, my question is because they use their network, will T-Mobile radios still work on my G2 if I were to switch over to that carrier?

Simple Mobile = Garbage. Unless you want to use your phone only for texting and a few incoming calls (and a lot of times voicemail doesn't even work), just pay the 89.99 for unlimited everything from tmobile. They claim to have unlimited data, but I personally and a friend of mine had our data turned off after 1gig of usage. Also customer service is nonexistent, you'll have an easier time getting a rep from metropcs on the line, lol

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subedaman:
I am glad I came across this thread, I was actually thinking of using Simple Mobile, you can't beat the pricing on the unlimited 4G plans. Based on the mixed reactions, I think I'll try Simple Mobile's 3G/4G speeds for a month and consider another carrier if they aren't what they are advertised as.

I'd like to read your opinions about Straight Talk $45 UL plan vs Simple Mobile $60 UL plan. I'm now on the $30 100 minute 5G TMobile plan.

So I'm considering my options, even if a little higher in price. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I'm missing other companies or plans out there, please let me know about them too.

[HTC Sensation] MPenguin:
Android/Sensation noob here.

Picked up my sensation two days ago. Under Settings/Accounts & Sync, I entered my information and synced by contacts, gmail, calendar, etc.

However, I noticed a problem with the sms not being identified, even though the sender was in my People. I thought maybe deleting the contact and resyncing would help. However, after I deleted it.... I can no longer get it back.

How do I redownload all the contacts? I've gone to the Accounts & Sync and tried syncing again, to no avail. Am I missing something? How do I get the People back?

Thanks!

EDIT - Nevermind. My Gmail/Google account was apparently very slow to update. It was showing all my contacts there. However, upon reloading the page today, I noticed that they are all *POOF* gone. So... back to square one.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:

[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
hi guys, so as the title states, i'm new to the droid scene and i have a streak 7. i have been reading for a few days now and want to root my streak. i am unsure about how to do this, i have seen gingerbreak and superoneclick. based on the fact that i dont know crap, which would you guys recommend? i have some other issues that concern me. maybe some of those fixed would be a good start?

issues:

1. i cant seem to connect my streak to my pc, running windows vista

2. i have no idea what all these acronyms mean?

3. i dont know what ROM to use, hell i dont know what a good ROM is

4. i cant connect my streak and my iphone via wifi

maybe some one can pint me to a basic, newb users guide would be good also. if some one is willing to help me, i'd appreciate it! sorry if this is the wrong spot
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
hello and welcome

1) did you install the dell drivers?

2) which acronyms are you referring to?

3) rom flavor depends on your needs... streakdroid is awesome but has bluetooth issues...on the flip side......is is overclockable. Im using custom 2.2 ...I need bluetooth sadly and can't sacrifice it for an overclockable kernel.

4)you need to modify the wpa supplicant file in order to tether via adhoc ( device to device )

Steps on how are in the forum.im typing via my ds7 ....otherwise id look it up for you. Its easy to find though.

Hope that helps!!!
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Thanks for your reply. Here is what I found:

1. The drivers I found won't work with vista but I was directed to another method I hope works

2. All the "apk, rom, wpa" stuff like that. I mean I figured out a rom is what you use as a front end of sorts

3. I don't need overclocking, don't need speed at all as it's just going in my truck as an audio source, gps, video player, Internet thing.

4. I'll use your post to search this method out. Might need some help. I'm assuming I need to have the devise rooted first?

On a rooting note, what's the best, easiest method for a newb such as myself? I am on 2.2.2 and it's a t-mobile streak 7.

Again thanks for your help.
[Dell Streak 7] csheppard93:
With 2.2.2 use gingerbreak. Its one button and your rooted.
