Why is the big debate about whether this is a phone or a tablet.

Its both clearly.. The samsung man ( the man himself ) during the release speech has said its a smartphone and he is showing that by holding it to his ear..
[General Topics] intruda119:
Thats what I was saying but I guess Linuxinsider comes with a tin foil hat.

Watching videos of the reps on the floor, none of them would say anything about the device besides what was on the feature list next to the display. The phone was being announce with no further detail. If it was a tablet I think the conference would have sounded like the galaxy tab one.

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out. The words fully featured smartphone should tell you that its a phone. Why else would they use that word to describe there device. I dont think I ever heard smartphone associated with any tab in my life time.

I dont speak alot of sign language but if someone made a gesture to there ear I would think they were talking about a cell phone.

these things really are getting too big. i don't know anymore if its a tablet or a smartphone without phone functionality. or a tablet with phone functionality? who knows..

but its nice to see that samsung covers up the whole market from 3-10 inches, while apple is stuck at 3.5 and 9.7 ..

I WILLx100 have this phone.

I have been waiting for such a device that does everything that I can carry with me everywhere.

Just perfect.

Samsung knows what people like me want.

What I especially like are the 5.3 inch screen size with 1280x800 pixels!! and stylus!!

And huge battery.

This is it! Please make it ASAP, Samsung.

[General Topics] Dead Cell:
Pentile or not...

I can't get confirmation from anywhere that this is actually using a pentile matrix display although I'm aware that Super Amoled is made that way I'm hoping against hope that Samsung has pulled off something very clever here.

If it is Pentile then surely some techie would have mentioned it on all those youtube hands on vids? So far they have all commented very positively on the display but none has mentioned anything about it being a pentile display, or not for that matter.

Makes me wonder what these techies get paid for, they're all a bunch of useless arse bandits! :(

If it is of the pentile sort then it will be a no go for me as I can't stand the grainy/fuzzy text on these screens. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 which I use as an alarm clock because it's not even worth selling on eBay!

I just want a screen between 4-5 inches which has 350 ppi at the very least and not based on pentile technology. I don't care if it's amoled, LCD or IPS.

I hate apple but if they release an idevice with a bigger screen than 3.5 inch and it has a high ppi then I will jump in to bed with good old Stevie boy! Heck I'll even wear his black turtle neck tops :o

The wait continues it seems. :rolleyes:

Easy, and it took me only five minutes to order the Note (available early 2012) and convince my wife that it would be a good idea to upgrade from her old x10 to my sgs2.

The Note is simply the perfect phone for me, as I use mainly my phone to read books and access the web but don't want to carry around a tablet AND a phone. Going for the Note is the easiest technological choice I have ever had to make.

[General Topics] ph00ny:
oddly enough, most folks that have seen the device in person have said they loved the screen and commented about it being very crisp. Also with higher ppi, would the pentile arrangements be that noticeable as it was on the galaxy s?

As for the whole arrangement regarding it being a phone or not, every mobile website is comparing it to galaxy s ii. It would be odd not to consider it as a pure tablet when galaxy tab 7" and 7.7" has voice capabilities

[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a way to mount microSD as /sdcard and Internal Storage as /sdcard/_InternalSD or something similar (I don't really care if Internal is mounted at all to be honest). I'm really sick of the limitation where all apps use internal storage and I quickly run out of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You can edit /system/etc/vold.fstab to swap the mount points so that the micro SD card becomes /mnt/sdcard and then the internal memory becomes /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD ... I've tried changing the name of the internal memorys mount point to anything other than _ExternalSD but it gets changed back when I reboot. But at least this way they both stay mounted and the microsd is where u want it. Just a little confusing with the mount point of the internal being named "external" lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
Hey thanks. I swaped them. My intrernal sd doesnt mount at all tho. Not that i care abt though :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drewgalyen:
How do you edit it? I keep trying using the File Editor (getting to it via Astro) and when I edit it, the save button won't appear, then when I hit close, it says save or discard, I save but it doesn't actually save it. I'd like to cut it open and swap external and internal cards, but I can't find any info like that anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I used Root Explorer. You need root access to save the changes.

I just went on the Blockbuster app for the First time for the hell of it and as soon as I opened it up it said...

"Tampered Device Detected"

No Downloads Allowed!

My question is How the hell did it know that, and why does it care?
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
The Blockbuster app detects root
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
That's a surprise... what the hell do they care for if I'm Rooted? Lol...
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
The new market won't let you watch movies while rooted either
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
That's Retarded, especially when the Market offers Rooted apps for people to use and Download!

Google BETTER embrace the fact that a LOT of people choose Android over the other options "Strictly" Because of Root!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
There are only so many ways to determine root access on an android device from instead of a Android java applicatoin.

If you're determined to use the blockbuster app while rooted, I'm sure there are ways to bypass the detection. Or worse case, temporarly remove/rename your su binary. Most of the applications look for the su binary itself. Change the name of the binary, or its location and it might bypass their root detection method.

ften disabled the root detection method on the Google Videos .apk file and posted up all the details regarding which parts of the smali code he modified. Google Videos with Root Check Disabled

It is hard to determine who "they" is/are that cares enough to push for the root detection code to be added ..

My guess would be the large Hollywood studios care more than Google about the Hollywood movie copyrights and don't want their material being freely distributed w/o their permission.

I'm guessing based on how open Google is with other people's information, i.e. google books, etc.

Good to know the blockbuster app is checking for root. Hope some of that information helps!

Yeah man, Your Info Definitely Helps... Thanx for the link too!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wibbsy:
I had an issue with my s2. i was stuck at Menorca airport after an 8 hour delay. i spent the firs 30mins walking around the lobby looking for wifi and got nothing.

couple hours later sat next to someone with an iphone 3g and he mentioned he was glad of the free public wifi - free public wtf I said!

Sure as it was, he could find and connect to a lounge wifi. My s2 couldn't find a dam thing!!!

I checked my settings:

Wifi was on

Network notification was on

Use packet data was on

Data Roaming was off - As I don't want O2 to screw me over.

Could it simply be that the wifi signal wasn't strong enough to get the wifi? Eventhough the Iphone 3G had three bars where I was sat?

Could data roaming someone interfere with connecting to wifi abroad?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Yes, the SGS2 has not-so-good wifi signal. Sometimes I can't get a full signal when I'm 2m away from the router. Nevertheless, I've found places where my phone was connected, and other devices couldn't, so it's not that bad. I'm also on KH3 modem.
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Hey guys! I have a question to ask you fellow SGS II owners, ive noticed that there is a faint "scratch" line forming on the edge of the back of the phone ( the chin part where the antenna is) on mine and my friends, where the battery cover meets the chin, there is a faint scratch/used out line forming on the chin.

Have any of you guys noticed this on your S2, is it something to be concerned about?, the line is really faint but i fear it might get worse over time; its honestly the only thing that makes me want to put a case on this thing because the body is perfect otherwise.

Thanks for your input! :D cheers
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Nip it in the bud and get a case-mate tough case. (or case of your choice)

Not only will it protect it from further damage, but will also hide it :)
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
yeahh, i just hate using cases because then the phone gets all bulky and loses its amazing thinness! :( but yeah if this scratch thing is bad then i guess ill likely use a case
[Galaxy S II General] MJ-12:
Personally I had to get a case for mine, as it is just too ludicrously thin and light it didn't feel right in my hand... Just saying.

Got this one, free post came the next day, nice and perfect fit :)

[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
yep tha bit of the sgs2 will pick up scratches and show them more then others , it comes into touch with things before most parts of the phone ie laying it camera side down the bit you mention will always be leant on by the rest of the phone

if you are a bit like me and dont like scratches then the casemate tough is defo a good option

however i do agree with you the sgs2 feels so nice without a case its a tricky one :-) i love the way it feels without a case yet i know ill be gutted when it gets scratched :-(

on the other hand can an item i use so much as my sgs2 be expected not to pick up useage marks?? it gets used loads and its bound to pick up wear marks no matter how hard you try to keep it nice :-)

2 options i reckon , get used to the case on the device or learn to live with useage marks :-) tiny little useage scratches aint so bad its when chunks are missing from drops etc :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Tinderbox (UK):
You could buy the zagg invisible shield full body, and you will not notice any difference in weight or size then and you phone will be protected against scratches.

I have my cases on hold, while i think about the new Samsung 2000mah battery as normal might not fit and it would be a waste of money buying one now.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Same here :-)

CaseMate added weight and reduced the risk of dropping my baby because of the rubber surface
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
The back cover on this phone doesn't make a sound, but in terms of durability is CHEAP AS HELL: it gets scratched very very easy...the first layer is really thin and weak, and when it starts wearing off the back cover begins to look white/gray, and that's really annoying. I keep my phone in a case pulling it out just to clean it from time and it's already full whitish micro scratches. God knows what would happen to it without a proper case... Also the screen is very prone to scratches: personally i haven't scratched mine because i use a protector since day 1, but a friend of mine went without it for a day and his screen had at least 5 micro scratches already. Note that he's a bank clerk, not a bricklayer, and no, he doesn't carry uncut diamonds in his pockets.

I know that gorilla glass is scratch resistant and not scratch proof, but on the GS2 there's a layer of oleophobic coating on it, which scratches really easy. Be careful with your phone guys, screen protector and case is a must have on this guy :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Propergood:
Yes, the scratches on that lip will certainly get worse if you don't cover that area by some method. I think mine got there just from going in and out of my Jeans pocket..

I held the same opinion as OP.. why cover up this of all devices, with it's USP of ultra fine lightweight design? I finally resolved to putting a case on mine when, heavily burdened by shopping bags, I attempted to quickly pull the phone out of my pocket to answer a call but instead lost my grip and sent it cartwheeling across a concrete pavement. All four corners now bear nasty dents/abrasions. A case means a more firm grip and covers up said ugly fall damage...

[Defy General] pvndpk:
Hi frendz.

Today i got my defy which has froyo 2.2..

I am already loving it..

Unfortunately it has green lens.

My battery lasts for only 1 day on this stock rom..

For example say battery is fully charged and i start watching movies say 2 hr movie

i can continuously watch on 2 movies..brightness is set to 60%.

so i wanted install custom rom which has better battery backup.I went through the forums OMG!!! so many custom roms??..Which is better with least bugs please tell me..I have few questions please answer ..

1)How to install custom rom from scratch.

2)I want downgrade option to stock rom which i have now for warranty reasons.

3)Links for cm7 rom which is best with least bugs and best battery backup..Coz i see cynogenmod defy device database has no links in it.

4)Can i upgrade to gingerbread custom rom without flashing gingerbread official rom and can i again comeback to stock rom if something goes bad for warranty claiming??

5)Is miui rom best than cm7..And if so then which version..

Please help frendz...

Thanks for everyone..
[Defy General] Dixiesmu:
1. You need to root your phone first before you can install a custom rom. Look for Superoneclick. Once you have done this you need to either install derfy2ndInit from the market or downloaqd RSDLite 4.9 to your computer.

2. To downgrade to stock rom you will need to use RSDLite with SBF JRDNEM_U3_3.42_117-002. This will return you defy back to 2.1 then use the motorola upgrader to 2.2. Your defy will be unrooted and back to stock.

3. Never tried CM7.

4. There is no Gingerbread stock rom. You can upgrade and come back again as in answer two.

5. I have always used MIUI and the latest version is 1.9.2. There is a built in updater and the rom is updated every Friday 11.00 BST. The choice of roms is always down to the individual depending on what you want from it, as I have only used MIUI I am not in a position to make judgement.

I hope this gives you pointer in the right direction but please have a good look through the forums as most if not all your questions will be answered.

hi,

just got my EVO 3D but dissappointed that i cannot seem to root EVO 3D,

can anyone advise if i can use the root in the CDMA for GSM ?

or the GSM EVO 3D cannot be root at the moment,
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
You should never ever attempt using any kind of software, tool, program or anything that was designed for CDMA on a GSM device.

There's a high chance something will go wrong, and it could potentially brick your device.

The HTC EVO 3D GSM can be rooted at the moment (mine is), but it depends on which hboot version you have. Mine had hboot version 1.49.0007.

It seems like revolutionary doesn't support your hboot version (yet), so i'm not sure how you would go about gaining s-off and root (if its even possible).
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
If revolutionary doesn't support your hboot version yet, the only other published tool would be HTC's. I don't see the GSM EVO 3D listed on their site yet: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ .

At this point, there might not be any published tool to achieve s-off which is required for persistent root access.

Sorry to be the messanger of bad news, but thats the latest information we have! Never hurts to tweet or write on HTC's facebook page politely letting them know how you'd like to use their product you purchased! Hope that helps!
