Haha no I came from a Blackberry actually. All right, you guys convinced me. Switching to Google!
[G2 and Desire Z General] tears12345678909:
Which phone company in your opinion is the best with its "unlimited" data plans? I have tmobile and it is fustrating whne they slow my phone down but I heard that verizon is worse! I know sprint is really unlimited but it goes at 3g speeds which is slow compared to the other companies. So in your opinion which is the best???
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
May be better put in an XDA general thread rather than a specific device thread. You're going to find lots of international users and T-mobile users in here so there's going to be a lack of info or a bias towards T-mobile.

As far as the USA goes, T-mobile and Sprint are the only two with unlimited data. AT&T has been on tiered 2GB plans for a long time, and Verizon has tiered as well. So its like this:

Sprint: Unlimited, literally. Use as much 3G/4G as you want

T-mobile: Unlimited to 5GB (if you're grandfathered) or 2GB if you're a new customer. After 5GB (or 2GB, plan depending). You get throttled to EDGE for the rest of the month, but no overages.

AT&T: 2GB cap. Overages for using more for 2GB. Can add another 2GB with a tethering package.

Verizon: Tiers. 2GB, 5GB, 10GB. Overages for using more than your cap.

So unless you like the phones on sprint, T-mobile is your best situation considering you can never get charged overages, just get slowed down. And the cap before you get slowed is higher than the others. Not to mention that a non-contract T-mobile plan is $30 cheaper per month than AT&T or Verizon w/ less data. Of course where you live plays a large factor too. T-mobile is known to have a smaller coverage area, but generally fast speeds when you do have coverage because of the quick HSPA+, and much fewer users per tower.

Sucks, but its the way it is here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Id like to add to this thread, if u have a wireless router at home turn on your wifi when u r home. I got throttled once and it sucks, ever since then I wifi when at home.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fluxgfx:
And if only the carriers here in Canada would actually realise that they are raping customers... maybe we could get great data plans... 35$ just for 1gb and 5$ extra per mb used if I go over... Like REALLY?

It's almost worth having a number from Europe with unlimited everything for 65$....
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Yea I've heard Canadian carriers are horrible on price and features, even worse than the USA In some ways. We're both way behind the rest of the world when it comes to cellphone carriers and competition.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
Geez, man I feel for you bro! How awful!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtuansdiamm:
As long a your at a place with sprint 4g your good with sprint

Plus tons of paces have wifi so its not much of a problem

Plus sprint usa kind of not as expensive as the other carriers

[G2 and Desire Z General] tears12345678909:
Yea to me I do like sprint and tmobile the only problem is the speed that you get from sprint is nowhere near as fast as tmobiles my gf has sprint and my phone is faster than hers even when they slow mine down! That's really slow!
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
I think "true" unlimited data is going to soon be extinct. Even Sprint will eventually change their ways. The rise of data-hungry smartphones is a reality on a finite amount of spectrum. Getting throttled is always preferable to overages, and this is why AT&T sucks (among other reasons).

Oh and T-Mobile is going to start overages as well, at least on their lightest data plan. Not sure how many of us Android geeks would start up this kind of plan, but there it is. Source----> http://www.tmonews.com/2011/08/t-mobile-changing-200mb-data-plan-away-from-throttling-to-overage/
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
There was a thread on this the other day. This is only for the 200mb plan, which you wouldn't even want to touch on a smartphone. Its meant for featurephones and super low end android phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
T-mo has a 10gb data package as well now. kind'a expensive IIRC though, I just stuck with my grandfathered 5gb plan... it's never an issue for me and I occasionally stream Netflix via PS3/Wii using wifi tether.

utilize wifi whenever possible and download files to your pc if you're at home/work then transfer them rather than using the phone directly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mike102871:
I have the 200 mb plan. Rarely go over. I live in an E area. Rarely do i get to a 4G area. I was told when i went with t-mobile after centennial sold out to att that i would have 3 G . NOT. So i uses wifi whenever I can.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tears12345678909:
That's also a problem I don't have access to wifi neither do I have a home computer so I have to rely on my phones internet for mostly everything and it gets frustrating when my phone is slow
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Well that's your own issue. Your phone's 3G connection isn't meant to be used as a home internet connection, and you really can't expect to use it in that way. The days of unlimited, unthrottled 3G are coming to a close, and you really need to think about that.

The prices for data are WAY higher per GB for 3G anyway, and you'd be better off buying a home cable/DSL connection even if you could use 3G unlimited.

Hey guys, so I'm having an issue with my phone.

Freshly wiped SD, freshly installed Gingeritis 3D Beta VII, and the phone/battery randomly gets really hot and that kills battery life. I didn't have that Issue when I installed/flashed the ROM for the first time (this is my second time).

Any help? Thanks a lot
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I had issues with that ROM killing my battery sometimes in 3 hours while I slept. I tried CM7, then restored a backup of beta6 and its never been better. Don't know why though.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idreamer24:
That's definitely strange. I'm on VII and it runs cool. Battery life isn't too bad. I think the other user might be right. Maybe revert to VI and see if the problem exists. I doubt you changed kernels after installation but if so that might have something to do with it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtbot:
Flashing battery stats, charging to max every day helped. Unplugged since 9AM and 55%! on LTE!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melman_Zyrafa:
Hi guys,

I was unable to find answer for my question (used Search & also google) and this really makes me unhappy.

I've installed Android (Pongster ROM using CLK) and now when I'm trying to install anything from Market I get soft reset.

Soft reset occurs when application is trying to install.

Anyone have any idea how to solve it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
If some of you Incredible 2 owners owned an Incredible 1 you probably have heard of the Incredikernel if you were an AOSP user. chad0989 has been putting out some of the best kernels for the Incredible that I have have used. I think if we can get him a device then he can take the knowledge he has of Incredible kernels and apply it to our Incredible 2.

Check out the site at: http://www.incredikernel.com/

Please put post the donation amount that you can commit to. Your donation can go a long ways toward making the Incredible 2 live up to its name :D

Here's Chad's paypal donation link: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/w...63663d3faee8d1e83f46a36995b3856cef1e18897ad75

Newt's latest rom has chad's kernel cooked into it, check it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Can you guys post up the amount you donated so we can keep track? I will update the OP with your names. We only need to raise about $250 which should be easy.

If we want more development to our phones we have raise the cash for phones if the developers can't get their hands on a device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
only? that's alot of cash, I understand if everyone puts in a bit that would be sweet, hope you guys reach your goal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Well, if we want quality products we gotta put our part in the cause. Once CM7 gains more momentum for our phone having a good kernel takes the cake.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I'm totally for it, I think it's a great idea man.

ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/2011/08/adwlauncher-ex-1-3-3-1/#more-432

The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
so happy adw icon is gone

I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Live2Follow:
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Might be switching back to adw ex

I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] dragonforce11:
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Live2Follow:
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] FillTheVoid:
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Difficult Decision

I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.

So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] muz_aj:
Finaaally :D

Trying it out right now :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
sorry

Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.

Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Galaxy_Fan:
new version is great.

Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Sichroteph:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cfisher:
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Croak:
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cfisher:
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Live2Follow:
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TabGuy:
Is there a trial version of ADW EX? I can't find one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Dont think so.

BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?

Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.

Is there a setting for this ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] isimobile:
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] yojosefo:
Thanks mate will make it my default for sure now... I hated the adw red icon in the corner :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
How come for scrollable Widgets my wizz Widgets are slow and sometimes unresponsive yet the USA today widget is flawless on adw ex?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sic_lic1o1:
mine has about 10 crashed or fc since i updated yesterday. Dont know whats wrong with it. I never had any crashed or fc on the previous version. This new version seems like it makes everything zoom in or bigger. Just like the asus weather widget, it makes the letters look so big now, even when i try to resize it. Anybody has any problems like im having?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Proportions seem all wrong. I'm trying to mess with columns/lines nothing I like yet.

Question ... is there anyway to always show hidden dock ? I hate the default dock but the hidden one keeps disappearing and have to use a gesture to bring it back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] eclass82:
SWEET! This app made my Galaxy Tab FLY switching thru screens.. LOVE IT NO MORE LAG
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Danisflying:
It still doesn't seem as professional for me on a tablet, stock launcher is much more appealing to the eyes although this is slightly smoother for me I just don't think its up to par in terms of design yet =)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Croak:
You can make it look almost identical to the stock launcher (turn off dock), all you lose is the fancy resource hog method of wallpaper/shortcut/widget control, and the space-wasting 1" blue line tap areas on the left and right screen edges.

For those of you having issues with scaling, be sure to check in Icons/Advanced and turn off the "Density Hack". You can also adjust text size, etc. Or just turn off "use new icons" and density hack, and get pretty much stock icons back.

TLDR; ADW EX takes some tweaking, especially on Honeycomb, but once you spend the time (you've already spent the money) you can do a lot with it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] wisdom1456:
You can always show the hidden dock by going:

ADWSettings->UI Settings->Hidden Dockbar->[Check]Use as primary & [Check] Dockbar

-----

I'm using 8 columns by 6 rows, and I disabled Auto Stretch w/Main Dock Disabled.

Everything lines up good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Live2Follow:
It is not lagging for me! I am using the Agenda Calendar widget and the Google Reader Widget.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Sichroteph:
Found something interesting :

ADW parameters -> general -> system -> scrolling cache

-Set the option to "low quality "

You will never see a difference, except that it is now smooth as butter, and I never saw a little lag since yesterday.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Thanks man, that did the trick.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
I spent a couple hours learning all the settings and then tweaking to my liking. It was worth the time. REALLY liking ADW on the tab.

It cleaned things up nicely.

I can't seem to find the wizzard Widgets in the market.... can someone point me in te right direction?

Here's a screen shot of my end result..... all my apps are in the second doc, only app drawer and hide adw top toolbar is on the main dock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
Second picture is wit secondary dock hidden, I actually use it as my main dock, and after I figuered out te rows / columns setting I needs to center my weather. (10x7)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] markp99:
What did you do to get your landscape wallpaper to align properly in the vertical direction?

My attempts would have had the android guy offset near the bottom of the screen, about 1/2 visible. The image seems to be top-justified by default in ADW, whereas I'd prefer a center-justified option.

What did you do to adjust? Did you need to edit the wallpaper?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
I had that problem as well and finally came across the app "multi picture" it was free and I just use that to set my wallpapers now.

It has some options where you can add a different wallpaper for each screen etc... but I for now am just keeping it simple.

There is a thread on here with tons of wallpaper someone formatted for the tab 10.1.

Lots of great wallpapers in that list. Hope that helps....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Pottsy:
For the record, my ADW would often take ages to reappear after closing an app.

This was fixed by removing the Samsung "program monitor" widget and then restarting. The widget was misbehaving big time and causing all sorts of issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] giltwist:
Two questions:

1) Does ADW play nicely with the touchwiz stuff? Does it get run INSTEAD of the TW launcher or IN ADDITION to the TW launcher?

2) Can anyone post a screenshot of their battery usage page with ADW active?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TripleTapper:
I can answer #1. ADW plays great with the TW launcher. I ran both for a while until I figured out all the customization for ADW. Now its completely replaced the TW launcher.

My question(s) to all of you is: Is there a way to reorder programs in a folder? Is there a way to make the folder non-scroll-able and instead show all of the programs at once?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
+ 1 on playing great with touchwiz

I would like to know about the folder options as well. At this point I don't think it's possible. That statement based on playing with just settings for 2 hours yesterday... hope I'm wrong!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] JobobJet:
pdxrealtor - Which weather widget is that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
It's Weatherbug Elite. I didn't like the widget that came with Weatherbug for HC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TripleTapper:
It's a real pain, but I figured out how to sort the icons in a folder. Put all of your icons into a folder and then drag them out and put them back in. When you put them back in, they go to the last position in the folder. Hopefully there is an easier way that I haven't found yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] JobobJet:
Did you edit it to get the transparent background?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Is there anyway to permanently hide the top bar ?

Is there anyway to permanently show the hidden dock bar ?

I can only get both of these to work temporarily after coming back from apps the top bar is back and the hidden 1 disappears.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
No, there is a setting to simply not have the background when you create the widget. That and you can set the txt color as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
Man it took me a long time and I don't have those settings memorized, or better said a way to get to those settings memorized.

I can tell you they are there.... and when set properly will stay set that way.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Is there a way to backup the setting and send them?

Those two things are really bugging me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
Ill post it for ya when I get to my desktop....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
I have been beating my head against the wall since pdxrealtor posted that he hid the top bar. I can't find it anywhere.

As for the dock bar, here is what I did....

UI Settings | Main Dock | Main Dock Style | None (expand desktop)

UI Settings | Hidden Dockbar | Use as primary CHECKED

UI Settings | Hidden Dockbar | Dockbar CHECKED

I have had it close on me occasionally, so I also added (obviously, you could add just one of these two)

General Behavior | Gestures | Swipe down actions | Open/close DockBar

General Behavior | Gestures | Swipe up actions | Open/close DockBar
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
And if you can figure out the settings for the top bar.... that would be awesome. I don't like that thing up there at all :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
Ok-

For the top bar (ActionBar) hide/show option:

Long press home screen > Launcher Actions > and ADW icon will show up in the list and next to it will say Hide/Show ActionBar -- select that and an icon will appear on your desktop. Push that icon and gone is the action bar at the top. Push it again and it reappears. :)

For the hidden doc bar-

ADW Setting > UI Settings > Hidden Dockbar > Check>

Use as primary

Dockbar

Close the App Drawer

I've tried these settings with and without a 3 space main dock and with or without the main dock my hidden dockbar never disappears unless I swipe down on the hidden dock bar.

If you swipe down on the hidden dock bar and have the main doc disabled you'll have a hard time figuring out how to get your hidden dock back as there is nothing to swipe up on since your main dock is gone.

I solved this by going to ADW Setting > General Behavior > Gestures > Home Button Binding > and selected 'open/close docbar' This way my home button will hide or show the hidden dock bar.

I personally have it setup with a 3 space main dock. On that dock I have the hide/show action bar button and the app drawer shortcut. Then all my other apps/folders are on the hidden dock bar that is setup to always remain "not hidden"

Hope this is clear enough.... let me know if you need any clarifications.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
one more issue that you can hopefully help with. Somehow I have gotten a space in my dock. See the attachment. On the right just before the last icon. That space will not go away. Any ideas. :-P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] pdxrealtor:
Something similar happened to me .. end result of whatever happened was a blank space on the dock.

If I remember correctly I moved all the icons off the dock, disabled it, re enabled it, and put all my items back on the dock.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] qubanaso:
Which dock is are you guys using on adw ex
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
The "hidden dock bar". Disabling the main dockbar and setting the hidden to primary.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
I'll have to give that a shot I suppose.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] :
I thought I had tried it already, but I moved all of the icons off (didn't disable, reenable) and put them back on, and it was fine. I think one of the icons placement was corrupt or something. As I was moving them off, the Maps icon kept slipping in behind the next one. Once I removed the "last" one, I could get to the Maps icon and move it off as well. Very odd. :P
