TBH, looking at my SGSII and SGS side by side, the SGSII has a nicer screen...but I used the SGS every day for a year, and if I didn't get a good deal on the SGS II I'd still be using it. Never once complained about the screen except it being too small which is still the same complaint I have with the SGS II...the note might fix that though depends if I can still carry it in my pocket.

I've also experienced unequal color shifting or "yellowing" on the SGS II screen where the SGS had pretty much an equal color screen on all sides.
[General Topics] Overstew:
Why are there people defending Samsung in here? What makes Samsung think they can advertise superior hardware for a device, 2 DAYS AFTER announcing our SGSII variants for the US.
[General Topics] BenKranged:
This is how technology works. Two days after both of those phones, an even higher spec'd phone will be announced. And then two days later the same thing will happen again. And so on. SGSIII is reportedly coming early next year.
[General Topics] Overstew:
Yeah, I can understand at earliest, a month advance...but why would you announce something better than the product you just announced two days ago?
[General Topics] narta:
The SG II was launched in April. It launcjed 2 days ago in the US. So it's really 5 month old tech.

The Note will be available 5 months after it becomes available in Europe. USA is not the tech center of the world ;)
[General Topics] MartyLK:
And yet the USA invented all of the tech the world uses. If you don't believe me, research DARPA. Without the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, there would be no cellphones or any or that good stuff the world uses. ;)
[General Topics] ph00ny:
I dont understand why you're complaining about something they dont have any control over. Is it samsung's fault that our carriers are bunch of terrible bunch?
[General Topics] Gadgety:
I find the Note compelling. The screen isn't such a big deal, but I wish they had made it LTE compliant.
[General Topics] :
So, you are saying that you

sure know

more than Samsung itself what they are capable of.

So, going with your stupid logic, they should also have the same resolution on SGS2 also. If it's possible on 7.7 inches, it should also be possible on 5.29 or 4.27 inches. Just great, wow!!

Maybe they should have used Full HD 1080 x 1920. They have it in their TV, why not on the Note or SGS2 or SGS.

I don't know why they didn't - maybe cost, maybe technical difficulties. It's very simple - we don't have it (yet) for whatever reason that only Samsung can answer. No point crying in the forums for sympathy.

Food for thought: Tab 7.7 has 212% surface area of 5.29 and about 325% surface area of 4.27. Maybe, and just maybe, it's difficult to get all those pixels/sub-pixels living inside such small spaces.

It's Pentile in Note, that's it. End of discussion. Not why or how. That's what you get. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

My Infuse worked well for GPS. I was worried about it, too, when I bought the Infuse. But it not only locked on, but did so faster than any other phone I had.

Lol I'm one of those people, I've been through 10 phones in the past year, 5 laptops since February, and for my desktop... I've changed the parts so many times that I can't even count how many I've been through (I can tell you 7 GPU's though).
[General Topics] Sjael:
I'm certain that at this res the PenTile arrangement won't matter anywhere near as much.

It's looking pretty sharp to me.
[General Topics] dreadlord369:
Cool thanks for that picture. That doesn't look too bad, but unfortunately the only real way till be able to tell when we get our hands on it.
[General Topics] :
It is because they can not produce a 5.3" superAMOLED+ display.

The S2 has a 4.3" 800x480 display RGB stripe - this is 216ppi, but the key thing to look at here is sppi (sub-pixels per inch) - in this case just shy of 650sppi.

The Note is 5.3" 1280x800 pentile. 300 dpi, but only 600 sppi.

The Tab 7.7 is 7.7" 1280x800 RGB strip. 207 dpi, or 621 sppi.

The point here is that to make the Note display full RGB stripe would mean being able to produce a 900sppi display, which they are currently unable to do. 600-650 is currently the limit of AMOLED technology whilst maintaining proper yields. It just seems that samsung prefer to use pentile at a higher resolution than a lower res RGB - no doubt marketing has some role to play here.

The technology is improving. My partner and brother both have Galaxy S i9000s, and I don't like the display on those, but it offers only 466sppi - a distinct step below the 600 sppi level that the more recent devices are shipping at.

LCD technology allows for higher density structures, such as the iPhone (990sppi) and my motorola defy (810sppi)

Someone mentioned the 2560x1600 display, which is also pentile. Worth noting that in sppi terms, that equates almost exactly to a 10" 1920x1080 RGB Stripe display (which is what I am waiting for before taking the tablet plunge).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
I'd like to hear some real answers especially from people have had the chance to play with or own all 3 of these tablets. I did god knows how much research but really the only thing that I need right now is someone who has first hand experience to tell me cause what's what. The tech review sites usually review things that don't turn out to be true. Also ownership and time allows for different conclusions.

So far, I did a LOT of research on each tablet, god knows how many youtube videos i watched. What I took from the 3 are:

Xoom has great development and community on the edge of their seat, ready to jump up at any moment when HC source or ICS is released so it can start developing. I see it as the Android G1 phone. Great support, no doubt that all the ports and stuff will work (micro SD, hdmi and usb host) when rooted. BUT, it has a pretty bad screen from what I hear? I dont know if its an exaggeration but its no transformer or galaxy 10.1 in terms of display. Seem to be the "Fastest" or most capable in terms of hardware.

Transformer is the bridge between galaxy and xoom, both in the size and functionality since it also has micro sd, hdmi that galaxy lacks out of the box. The transformer needs an adapter for USB and currently the USB host and adapter is not out. But just like any android tablet, once source is released, the potentials are pretty much there to use usb host and anything else.

CONS: Problems. I'm very concerned about audio quality so can someone fill me in on that?? How are the speakers?? How do they compare to the galaxy or xoom or toshiba thrive? How is audio output in general to external speakers? (the toshiba thrive's output to external was TERRIBLE. headphone volume was bad). I'm also worried that if i get a bad transformer I'm going to have to wait weeks for asus to keep repairing stuff. Also, how is the battery life? I know the galaxy and xoom are the top 2 android battery life contenders, second to the ipad 2.

Galaxy tab 101. - Stripped and slender form of the transformer. No expandability. Adapter allows for usb or microSD but you can't expand past the 16gb/32gb with a microSD. Not a deal breaker but the other two allow it. Great display and sound.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc-hd2:
I was hesitating between the galaxy and transformer.

For me the problem was 3G or USB.

I decided for the transformer and tlil now no regrets. I've even got 3G working on it (with a 3G USB stick)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
The Transformer has USB, mine has 2x USB ports.

Also if you are outside the US, forget out the Xoom, the support is abysmal, I think they only just got Honeycomb 3.1, when the US has had it for months, and the Transformer is already on Honeycomb 3.2

As for the Galaxy Tab, overpriced IMHO, you can get so much more with the Transformer.

I looked at all 3, and the Transformer (with dock) was easily the winner.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Don't get the Xoom, it's a waste. If you need a tablet with 4G, then just get the Galaxy tab.

But the choice really depends on what you'll need it for. Do you think you'll need a keyboard dock? Then get the Transformer. The Galaxy Tab has a keyboard dock, but it's wireless and wouldn't be something you can use on the go. (subway, bus, etc.) The Transformer, overall, is a nice device. It has its problems, like the speakers aren't that loud, but you can kind of fix that with some tweaks. You can't beat the price either. $399 for one of the best Android tablets on the market.

If they think you'll be using it for media, the SG Tab maybe what your looking for. Also if you want something a little more portable, you may want to look at the Galaxy Tab 7.7. It's coming out soon and has higher specs than both the TF and 10.1. I'd suggest looking out for the Transformer 2 but there hasn't been much info on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhaedraCorruption:
I have an HTC Sensation with both Launcher Pro and ADW installed, if I were in launcher pro, and I opened the ADW app, I would switch from my LP Homescreen to my ADW homescreen.

Is there any way to have an openable app for Launcher Pro and the stock Sense UI like in ADW so I can switch seamlessly between the three Launchers?

My end goal is to have the LP and Sense icons on the homescreen of my ADW, my ADW and Sense laucher app on the homescreen of my LP and my LP and ADW on the homescreen of Sense.

My phone is only a month old and recently started doing this..

when i plug my phone to the charger it goes straight to kies/ active driving mode/ voice commands

same thing happens when i plug it to computer via USB

and when i power off the device it restarts by itself.. same thing happens when i remove the battery, it starts immediately when i return it without pressing the power button.

My phone is rooted and I can't take it back to the retailer, I don't know if there's any way to unroot the phone so the retailer dont find out that my phone was rooted. I have seen many people online facing the same problem but it seems like none of them have found a solution. if there's any please let me know.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilVinz:
...nope...but I don't think you need for it...it seems an hardware problem so I do not think that service people will go to check counter if they find an original samsung firmware on booting
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
Your country is almost at warfare, and you are more concerned about a phone... :confused:

Anyways, you can easily get a 300k resistor. Grab a spare MicroUSB cable, then cut the plug out, plug in the MicroUSB into your phone, then use the resistor and connect to PIN 4 and PIN 5.

You don't need to buy one, just make one.

Ever since I flashed to gingerbread 2.32, the stock UK version, [I originally had Rogers gingerbread 2.33, flashed to UK 2.32, got root, and did OTA update to 2.33] when I launch the Xperia Play games launcher it is behaving very strangely.

For example when I tried to download need for speed hot pursuit it took me to EA's page where it said, "we're sorry but the game you selected is not available for your handset." Similarly when I tried to download Modern Combat Black Pegasus it just took me to "en.gameloft.ca," not the game's download page.

Usually when I tried to download games with my Rogers 2.32 firmware, it would take me to a page, which would give me an option to charge the game directly to my Rogers account, or, to a credit card checkout page. What's going on?

Hey all,

So basically I just bought my first android phone couple of weeks ago. Its the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 running 2.33 Firmware.

It is not yet rooted (have read some articles found in these forum found them really helpful)

but I'm not gonna root it for now I think cause this is my first android phone Im still a noob (used to apple)

Now my problem is I will be going abroad in 2 weeks and could really use the GPS.Tried donwloading GPS Status but i never actually got a lock on the satelites (or it took too long that I gave up) I also tried the fix but the code (but when dialing *#*#1472365#*#* nothing happened lol)

I also downloaded loads of GPS software such as AndNav2,Wisepilot,Navigon,CoPilot,Sycig but 90% of those gave me an error when I try them such as this software cannot be started on your device.

Is there any good GPS software/app which does not require an internet connection (pls not offline maps but like turn by turn app or similar.)

Thanks a lot.

I have visited the official site from Sony and downloaded the drivers. Still no luck picking up the device on QPST or CDMA. I have installed Gordan's Gate's drivers and still no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting the play detected? I have the R800X version already unlocked and rooted...

simple buddy all you gotta do is open your phone dialer like if your gonna make a call and hit ##3424 and ht call itll take u back to your home screen its normal if it does attempt a call u did it wrong

after that if your using win 7 itll auto download the drivers this is to make a DIAG port if using diff os not sure look for the drivers on google

after that go into your device manager on your computer and look for what port number it gave you and go back to cdma and connect read and write spc is 000000 no extra steps are needed for the spc code

ps try to do it running stock rom because some users remove DIAG on customs roms why alot of people have trouble

Oh no! I have to install windows 7 because I am currently on windows XP (don't tell nobody!). I have been to the sony site and downloaded the PC companion and all 4 driver sets hoping it would be enough to get QPST to recognize my device.

If anyone out there have XP drivers for QPST that will detect the Xperia Play please share!
[Xperia Play General] edokassiah:
try these out make sure you got usb debugging on and hit ##3424 and hit the call button itll take you back to the home screen and when it tells you to locate drivers unzip my rar file and put them like on the desktop or something and try it out

qpst has nothing to do with it for the most prt you need drivers for the DIAG diagnostics mode only then will qpst will detect the phone

okay yes i might of not packaged the zip right with the complete drivers but google is your friend as i dont have win xp i have win 7

and flashing custom roms theres a good chance they took out the diag mode for whatever reason why i suggested him to do it on a stock rom

when i hit ##3424 i dont get the phone call i get kicked back into the home screen and the computer initiates the diag port

there ya go
