The store I was at had a couple Playbooks on display at different areas of the store and the first one I came to had a non-functional small round button on the top...the button about the size of a bb pellet. I didn't know it didn't function; that it was damaged, and figured it was some sort of LED indicator. On the second Paybook, which was fully functional, if I hadn't pressed that little round button by accident to turn on the device, I never would have figured out how to power it on because I attributed that round button as an indicator or something of that nature. I wouldn't have intentionally pressed it.

The Playbook is typical BB B.S. I had the same experience with my BB phone. I spent 90% of my time trying to find stuff on it than I did just using it. No wonder BB is in the crapper these days.

I went with a Transformer. I did some research too. I will say this that playing with a unit in the store and taking it home and using it for a week or two is a huge difference. I am sure you can make some basic decisions based on your likes and dislikes, To heavy dont like how it feels in your hand etc, but nothing takes the place of good ole fashioned "Use it". I wrote a pretty long article regarding my purchase and my decisions tree in the transformer forums, as there are a lot of "Can the Asus Transformer replace my netbook/laptop" threads on a lot of different forums and i wanted to put my thoughts out there as well. I will find the link and link it. But in short the basic answer is it depends. I know not the best answer and not the one you were looking for but its the truth.

Here is my post its long but might be worth a read if you are trying to decide

[General Topics] TacoSandwich85:
I prefer the 7 inch tablet, but there aren't any good ones. The best 10 inch is the sammy sung tab 10.1.

It down right makes all the other tabs look like s**t. Samsung did a GREAT job on the screen. I like the feel of the thrive but it's screen sucks. The ipad seemed heavy but I do like its keyboard. The touchpad and playbook are the worst. the iconia is pretty ugly. The xoom feels nice but has a bad screen in my opinion. Tab 10.1 is best then xoom or ipad.

Some tablets are truly great in the niche such as Xoom, Transformer and Ironia, but seems that it's still no one is good enough to beat the iPad. At least for me, I have to admit the using experience is really fantastic on iPad.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Yeah, I agree. The iPad is a powerful and well engineered tablet. But it lacks the high res display I desire and this makes it tired for me. I'm spoiled by the Retina display of my iPhone 4. There just isn't a display as good as the Retina display. If Apple puts an equivalent display in the next iPad, that would solve the tired problem.

[General Topics] addicus:
I bought my 8 yr. old daughter a Velocity Micro Cruz. I sent that same POS back 2 weeks later. She is only 8 so I'm not looking to spend mega bucks and I don't buy anything made by Apple. I am thinking of getting her the Gen 9 Archos 8in tablet when it arrives in a few months. The Cruz isn't a bad tablet for the price point but it simply has too little internal memory. It constantly froze on us. It is great looking hardware, nice looking screen and a little heavy. Also, not having the genuine Android Market or XDA-Dev support was a killer. I came to realize I have no love for Android in it's current state (2.3 and below as I haven't used or seen a Honeycomb tablet yet). As a long time Windows Mobile user Android still reminds me of an incomplete and immature version of Windows Mobile that is more popular but not more effective. I am disappointed in this realization, especially when 90% of the tablets out there worth their salt, hardware wise, are Android based.

To be fair, I actually played with my friend's IPad II also. When I say played with, I mean sat there and used it for 2-3 hours to see if it could impress me. The answer is no. It's a $600 POS. What's scary is the Velocity Mirco Cruz was $179 total and the $400 or so price difference really doesn't show when it comes to using the damn things. The Ipad was lighter, faster and didn't freeze (because it has enough damn internal memory), but like every other damn Apple product it is limited and constricted. I swear if the Cruz had more internal memory it would have been 200x more effective than that Apple pos. Transferring information was easier. Using it as a part of my current environment was easier (HD2, Windows 7 laptop, Windows Vista PC). When I used the Dolphin browser it worked excellent (as did Safari). Basically the only satisfying experience I had on the Ipad was the Youtube application and the only thing that made it better than what I get on my HD2 is the screen size. Beyond that it has nothing on my 2 year old phone. Apple smapple.

I don't expect the HP or BB tablets to last very long in this market so I'm hoping Microsoft comes out with a viable tablet OS (which is rumored) and it doesn't actually disappoint me the way everything else has. Knowing I won't be able to replace the Cruz for under $200 I upped the ante to $300 and it looks like Archos is going to slide in with the gen 9's. Hopefully I won't remain disappointed.

applications are not running in the background

it stops when the screen locks

when it opens again it reloads and shows resuming

is there any way to run the application even when it is locked
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
Apps have to be recompiled for mango before they can use the benefits of mango. The market place will begin accepting such apps later this month. Also not all apps will "run" in the background. They have to be specifically coded to do background tasks. However apps may benefit from fast resuming which at face level it might appear the app is running but really it was dehydrated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
dont think its possible with current apps
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambaman009:
Yeah theres a video on wmpu that goes for about 20 minutes where a guy from the windows phone 7 team discusses multitasking in depth. He pretty much says the last 5 apps you have used will not need to "resume" but will jump straight back in. Background task using apps that will give you toasts, live tiles etc can run an agent for 30 seconds every 30 minutes so battery is not used up.

Something else thats very good is in the settings you can choose to disable specific agents that you dont want the app in question to use, and then the app cannot force it back on, so you wont get annoying toasts etc from apps you dont want.

http://wmpoweruser.com/page/2/

I think its the 3rd video down :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
i dont think current apps can do this,correct me..

it needs mango specific apps?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Apps need to be recompiled with the Mango dev tools and resubmitted to the Marketplace, but the Marketplace is not accepting Mango submissions yet, so there are no applications on the Marketplace that support Mango multitasking at the moment.

I rooted my device with a kernel and I have EE4. What rom will be good? I had the thunderbolt and used CM7. I know the droid charge dont have that yet. Im a bit confused about all the different numbers that i see around the forums. With the thunderbolt all you needed to know is which radio to have installed with the rom. Some please point me to the good roms that will work.

Im stock right now with root. EE4
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I'd recommend Eclipse 1.3.1 for SURE. Having tried both GC and Humble beforehand I can seriously say Eclipse is great. I just like how much better Eclipse looks over the other ones. Sure themes can change that but just try Eclipse out and see how it goes. If you don't like Eclipse then Humble is certainly the one you will like.

If you're worried about losing apps or other such things just download Titanium Backup(just pay for the full version, it's much better if you are going to backup/restore alot).

also, this should be in the general section
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
can you shoot me a link? Also same way to install like on my thunderbolt right? Either use rom manager and select the rom on my sd card or boot into recovery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
gummy, eclipse, and humble are all great. I have found trade offs with each but the developers are actively involved in the forum and are constantly working on their roms to you just have to find which one you like best...but you will switch from time to time anyway if you are like the rest of us :)

I have stayed away from the GB roms since there seem to be a few bugs and I was never really impressed with GB on my DX. I still run froyo on that phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrpickem:
Ya, stick with Froyo for now.

I've used both Eclipse & Humble and both have benefits. I prefer Eclipse 1.3.1 for now...very fast, decent battery & good looking GUI. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
if i install eclipse 1.3.1 will i lose root since i used a kernel to get root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Nope.

Purchase Titanium Backup if you have not. Back up all your apps/system aps. Download an app to back up your SMS if you want and boot into recovery.

Wipe data, cache, go to advanced and wipe delvik. Back to main screen and install rom from sd card and reinstall your info and data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
No you won't lose root. You need to read the faq in the general section. Charge is very different than TB. Don't use rom manager for any thing. It doesn't work w/ the charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlueHarford:
I tend to disagree with the froyo. IMO from a rom developer standpoint, even a buggy GB rom is better than froyo, it lacks many things. Im using the Eclipse GB rom now, and really very little in buggy. Now GB roms are lacking a solid kernel that you can undervolt and overlock, the Eclipse GB does lag at times (no i have not yet tried to do the EXT4 hack then used a GB rom.

One thing im not fond of with this phone coming from a EVO 4G and MT4G is that its super laggy, i know it works better with ext4... also the recovery way... when i reboot into recovery... i have to reboot to it.. then pull the battery then it will boot into recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
Idk, but I can't get away from Eclipse 1.2. It runs the fastest out of any rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Unless I am missing something somewhere I don't believe there is lagfix for GB? If so it would tend to be more "laggy". I notice no lag using froyo and lagfix enabled. I do not overclock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlueHarford:
wait till imnutz finishes the aosp vendor repo for the charge... when AOSP 2.3.4 roms start coming out... it will change the whole face of the ROM world for the charge.

only need to odin for radios... recovery included in rom.... boots into recovery right... all crap removed(OS level crap not just bloatware)... i check his github everyday.
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
so everyone said to use eclipse 1.3.1. i noticed here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144015

that it says no kernel is included with rom. So do I just keep the kernel I have that gave me root or do I flash the rom then the new kernel the dev recommends?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joe T:
Navenedrob has an ext4 kernel for gb.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joe T:
Check out imnuts's 7/31 voodoo kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104634

Here's some info on voodoo lagfix: http://project-voodoo.org/

Read as much as you can and make sure you understand the risks/ rewards before flashing custom roms and kernels.

Like others, I'm on Eclipse 1.3.1 and imnuts's 7/31 kernel. Right now, I don't think that gb offers anything more than the froyo roms for this phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
how are people's battery with the eclipse rom?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
It may have been mentioned but do not use ROM manager. I am not sure of the exact reasons why, but but it doesn't play well with this phone or the Fascinate

Charged up post!
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
so flash the rom then flash the kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Just flash the rom. You only need to flash a kernel if you are planning on changing it. If you already have the kernel you are planning on running with the rom just wipe data and install the rom.

I am running the froyo eclipse with the honeycomb theme and it is awesome. Battery life is great and I would highly recommend it. I am running it with imnuts non overclocked voodoo kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
whats the best thing to set the kernel speed? Setcpu? If so what setting on imnuts's 7/31 voodoo kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
running 0731_charge_voodoo.zip kernel. Very laggy. What can I do? Got the kernel from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104634

What setting in setcpu should i use. Im on performance right now. there isnt a ondemand to choose from.
[Verizon Droid Charge] benb1974:
Im pretty sure you should use the.voltage control app instead of setcpu. It also doesn't play well with charge or fascinate. Free works fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
i just downloaded voltage control from the market and it says my kernel is not supported. It still let me in to the app in limit mode.
[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
Lol you need to get the peanut butta jelly time OTB edition. with that kernel you can overclock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joe T:
Are you sure you converted to voodoo? To be sure, download "terminal emulator" app from the market. Open it and type "mount". If you see "ext4" in the lines you are on voodoo. If not, you may have to convert to ext4 by selecting "voodoo" in cwmr and enabling voodoo lagfix.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
Check out the instructions in my signature. They are the best I've run across.
[Verizon Droid Charge] idle0095:
thanks everyone. im on ee4. when i run mount in terminal it does say ee4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] landshark68:
He is on ext4. You can only use voltage control with the OTB version of imnuts' PBJ kernel. With the regular PBJ kernel, you use Set CPU.

[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I bought this app a couple of days ago and it hasn't worked once for me. The first day, whenever I tried to browse or search for a forum, it would say "retrieving from server" and just get stuck there. I thought they were just having server issues but I'm getting the same thing today.

Tried emailing the developer but haven't received a response back. Is anyone else having this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I had this in the past, it all seems to have cleared up a few months ago (while on my O.G. Evo.)

right now though I'm getting a new issue. Whenever looking at a thread with a long 1st post (like anything pertaining to a ROM release, or explaining how to install a theme or something.) anywhere from 3-10 posts immediately following that are blank. when I tap on one of these blank posts the app FC's. viewing from a web browser shows the posts properly, but on tapatalk, as of a couple days ago it's blank...

I paid for Tapatalk, and have used it a lot in the past. However, it sucks now, and I consider it completely unusable. I am getting all these crazy issues lately as well, yet it worked fine last month.

Another thing i have never understood:

I, for one, have no idea what it means to 'enable BBC code', or what the '3G compatibility mode' actually does.. Apparently Tapatalk doesn't want me to know either, because there's no documentation ANYWHERE in the app, or on their website that explains it. Is it some big effing secret? I'm done with it, using regular XDA app instead.

[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
I think the "enable BBC code" means you'll be able to understand cheeky British comedy shows and obscure documentaries. :cool:

Hi, I have just bought a secondhand xda 2i to replace my much loved and used xda2 which suffered a broken screen. As the 2i is in much better condition than my than my xda2, I thought I'd upgrade the rom, as I have a number of times on my old xda2. I have tried three different rom upgrades, all of which I know work on the old xda, but they all failed, with an error message saying it is not the right upgrade, and to remove pda and do a reset.

When I do a reset, a lot of custom software is installed, an a password is required to do anything.

Could this be stopping my upgrade attempts?

Is there a solution?

I know I could just swap the screen over, but the 2i is in much better condition.

If this question has already been answered, could you to please direct me the solution.

I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?

I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
