[General Questions and Answers] Dav_Edward:
I'm trying very hard to work out if I should go after the LG Optimus 3D for $475, or the Samsung Galaxy S II for $600.

Both systems have their bonuses, and I plan to follow the great information here to unlock and root whichever phone I get.

The major difficulty though is choosing which phone, or if I should wait a little longer as there seems to be word that there will be some big phones coming out in September such as the IPhone 5. I don't want an Iphone, but from the buzz of that coming out, I wounder if that would be the choice time other really good phones will come out for good prices.

I read some websites that compare them (links below if they aren't blocked). But I still stuck on which I should get, or more so, if I should wait.

I was wondering if someone could give me an educated opinion as I lack in knowledge on smartphone tech.

I went for the Samsung Galaxy SII, the Samsung Galaxy is a lot more popular, easier to mod, and seems to be faster and more stable from what I found.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] RoundEye26:
I just bought this cable "TV-Out Video Cable" from VZW. On their website it says that this is compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, however when I plugged it in nothing happens... I am trying to plug it into a projector that takes composite sources.

Has anyone else tried this cable yet?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Silenus21:
Not sure which cable you're referring.

Check if you need to have a power connected to it to work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jeandujardin01:
this will not work

for the tab 10.1 you need this
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] RoundEye26:
Thanks guys! I just packaged it up and sent it back to VZW. Samsung just updated their site saying that cable won't work for Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Shame...

Thanks again!

please help me to solve this problem

when i put my gt540 on charging ,, the battery indictor not exceed 50 or 60 % whatever the duration of charging

and i noticed that the charger not heated like the past

sorry for my english ,,,,,,,,,
[GT540 Optimus General] coto39:
Hey!

You can try erasing the "battery stats" entering in the "recovery mode" , going to "advanced" and then "delete battery stats"... if you do that and didn't work maybe the problem is the battery.

Did you overclock your phone?

And other question... Did you install a new version off the rom recently? Remember that when you flash the rom is necessary to delete the battery stats to calibrate the battery correctly...

And other thing, if erase the stats solve your problem, in the next recharge follow the next instructions (by Mur4ik):

"Battery Issues Fix:

For all those having battery issues, I have been following all the comments & tips about it on this forum & I have been doing some experimenting over the last few months. And finally I have a working solution which has been working for me (see screenshot of my phone), it's been working now for 53hrs now & still at 45%. And I have been using the wireless at btw 4-6hrs per day & some long calls.

Here's what to do:

1. Drain your battery totally, put it on & off until it's totally drained (screen refuses to come on)

2. Charge it over night (a good 4-6 hours). It might also be good to unplug and re-plug a couple of times if it reaches 100% prematurely.

3. Once the specified time has elapsed, without unplugging the phone from charge, go into (clockwork) recovery (from your reboot screen), go to advanced and, wipe your battery stats, then reboot. Once you click reboot, unplug your phone. And that's it!

Things to note: you must have one of the newer versions(versions 3+) of clockwork to go into recovery from full charge. I hope this is helpful & compliments Mur4ik great work & Joost's wonderful thread :)"
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
What ROM?

Some ROMs have a problem with the battery level (e.g. Swiftdroid v2.0 M5 which won't reach full charge). You could try another ROM or wait until the problem is fixed as an update. You could also revert back to a ROM which will reach full charge. You could try using a computer instead of a charger just to see the difference. Does it make any difference if it doesn't reach full charge as it may be functional for the same amount of time if it reached full charge.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Hello,

I own a Nook Color and plan to use it along with notebooks in school. I am getting a stylus, but the problem is the app. Is there a way to install SketchBookPro on the Nook Color? I'm running MIUI ROM. Thanks.

EDIT: Is there a way I can fake honeycomb to run this app?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] joenathane:
You could use Sketch Book mobile but PRO requires Honeycomb.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Tytanius:
Yeah you have to use Sketch Book Express (Free) or Sketch Book Mobile ($.99). Unless you install one of the Honeycomb roms.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Alright thanks. Boy am I sometimes dumb... figures. Thanks again!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SeaFractor:
I purchased and use the Sketchbook Mobile application and find that I really like it. It scales well to the display of the NC.

I can recommend it as well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Thanks, but I just installed Honeycomb. Just to use this app.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Just went back to MIUI for the speed. Now i'm wondering if there is a way to fake honeycomb to run this app? Or modify it to run on 2.3.3? Because I doubt it uses anything honeycomb dependent. Thanks!

NO! How many times does this need answering? NO!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Right. Sorry for being a bother

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] actorman46:
Instead of being rude you could explain why you can't. Things tend to stick when you explain why. I don't think we need comments like that in XDA.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] MedLine:
You can modify the AndroidManifest.xml file setting minSdkVersion="8" for froyo. I've done this for SketchBook Express free version and you can download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A5WAH4PJ

This modified apk will install fine on CM7, but force close when you try to run it because it calls on the ActionBar API, which is Honeycomb-specific. You can see this by following the logs.

To do this yourself next time follow these steps:

1. Use Madcat's sdk port running on Rack's SD card to install Sketchbook Express from the Market and retrieve com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk from /data/app

2. Get APK Manager 4.9: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

3. Update apktool to 1.4.1 (051511 release) for xlarge support: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list

4. Extract Honeycomb framework-res.apk from any duodexed HC ROM, I used Xoom Tiamat 3.2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203635

5. Install HC framework for apktool per instructions here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/FrameworkFiles

6. Use APK Manager to extract and decompile com.adsk.sketchbookhdexpress-1.apk

7. Modify the AndroidManifest.xml file with a text editor, I used Notepad++ in Windows

8. Use APK Manager to compile and sign apk.

Good luck in school.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Thank you very much. Yes, I hacked the apk before posting and it does FC. Thanks for telling me about why it FCs. Yes, thanks for the luck :D.

Need some help here. I "managed" to drench my tab. Yeah, I know - stoopid me. :( So what's done is done. Currently the tab's display in not working. I think I was able to power it up - white light on the power button but this stays on forever.

I'm going to return the tab. So here's the question - how would I go about doing a factory reset without actually logging in to the tab?

Thanks in advance.

Bang...

Yeah I really did a banged up job on the tab. LOL!!
[Acer Iconia A500] cd85233:
Could try to salvage it first and restore and then return it. Odds are if you turned the power on after drenching it you messed it up badly so youre data is gone anyways.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
First of all, you should not have tried to turn it on until it was dry. That can cause shorting.

Any time an electronic device gets wet, pull the battery as soon as possible.

Stick it in a bag of dry rice for a week or two (pulls the moisture out) before trying to power it on.

I have a friend who's phone went to the bottom of a lake 3 times. Came back from it all three.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Indeed. NEVER turn on a wet electronic device. Especially in case where it's got as heavy-duty battery as a tablet or laptop has.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
+1 For the rice trick. Silica works as well (the stuff that comes with a new pair of shoes).

+1,000,000 for never ever turning on a moist device! Water conducts electricity, so as entropyiv said, you probably shorted it out.

I'm also thinking that returning the tablet isn't going to work. They'll know immediately that it got wet, and that's a pretty straight forward warranty killer!

Good luck, and let us know the outcome!
[Acer Iconia A500] cd85233:
most stores dont check for water damage. If you biught it at target youre in luck. When i worked there we were liniant if you had a reciept.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
This is why I bought the accidental warranty... :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] mknewman:
I ride a motorcycle and have gotten radios and such wet in the past. I make sure and turn them off immediately, remove power and then once I'm home I leave them in the hot garage for a few days and I've never had a one that didn't come back to life.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bangjr:
Thanks...

for your responses. I'll try going the usb route to get rid of all my personal data off the tab. Once again, thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] tedpc01:
The best advice I could give you as a former Compaq Computers Engineer is to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery if you can and unplug anything back there that you can. Leave the tablet in a relatively warm room for 24 hrs, reconnect everything and 9 times out of 10 it will work again. I'm not sure if you permanently ruined it trying to immediately trying to turn it on, but try this advise and see if it will work for you.

Good luck!

[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
If it's warrantied, I would put the charger in it and toss it back in water to make sure it's fried good. Anything so it doesn't appear to power-up.

Or... if it had Recovery loaded, try to work through the menus for wiping before adding a mod. Touch screen isn't used.

What happened ? I only ask because the case seems like it would hold water back for at least a couple seconds, enough to get it out without the components getting wet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bangjr:
Hello and thanks once again to everyone who'd responded.

I left the tab with some silicon gelica thing in a bag in a hot room for two days. Powered up the tab, looked like it was going to work - e.g. acer logo came up, as well as the android logo. I was feeling optimistic that the tab may just be fine. But alas, the LCD just won't work. I got a screen that's constantly flickering, snow, etc. It sure looked like the TV from the movie Poltergeist. lol!!

At least I can boot this sucker up. Now to see if the HDMI port is working or not. If it does, then I can hook it up to my TV, plug in a USB hub for a mouse and keyboard...then I should be able to do a factory reset to clear my personal data. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will work. Worse case, my Win 7 PC should see the tab and maybe I can "format" that thing from there.

Don't worry, I am NOT returning this to any retailer...this unit was not "store bought"...it's an engineering sample that was on loan to me... ;-)

I created some themes to work on 4EXTRecovery and hope some of you will like them. Installation is done on system partition only and this makes sure your existing settings on sdcard is not touched. After flashing uninstaller, your recovery theme will revert back to default. Installing theme will cause only change in base background at the moment. I am planning to add images to support error, usb toggle, installation, etc... screens (depending on users response). Out of all Htc_Qb is my favorite at the moment. I found 4EXTRecovery which is based on source code of CWM, has all the features that were missing in default CWM.

Does anyone now a Navigation app that runs on Gt-I5800 and can use an external BT GPS. The thing is that although I've tried the GPS fix for the internal GPS it never works properly. From the other hand I had an external Nokia GPS from a previous mobile that I've connected with the BT GPS app and works like a charm, but it does work with Sygic or Google Maps.....

(I'm using Kyrilos v6.0 rom and I've with already tried the GPS fix)
[Galaxy 3 General] Blackyx007:
I do not know if there are applications like that

but maybe you can configure your GPS settings with gpssetup

call *#*#3214789650#*#* to start gpssetup2

or create a shortcut in launcherpro or ADWlauncher

go to Settings ==> Fix request settings ==> session type and select tracking

then go to Settings ==> Fix request settings ==>operation mode and select standalone

then go to Settings==> parameter settings ==> positioning mode and choose option3

go back to the first menu select commands, get position, starting gps

and normally you have your position within minutes

for a bether result you can download gpsbooster and fasterfix that can help finding your position :p
