[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zookeeper525:
So a few week's ago (around the time the hurricane hit ny) my signal has been so bad, it's almost always roaming or i only have one bar. There was a problem with the tower by my house, but they said that they fixed it on the 2nd yet my phone is still roaming every day and i still hardly have any bars. I updated to the latest radio's and pri/prl yet it still does this. Sprint is trying to tell me it's my evo, but it NEVER did it before the hurricane. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to see if it is infact my phone? I don't wanna pay to bring my phone into sprint as i don't have insurance on it.

The only reason i'm asking this is i'm not 100% sure it's on sprint's side is even when i have full bar's the signal still drops alot from like 3 bars to 4 and then full then back down to 2 and so on. I never seen my phone do it that much before.

I'm pretty sure it's on sprint's side though.

If this is in the wrong area I am sorry. I need help in making a simple app that can be used on Android and Iphone platforms. All it needs to do it go straight to a webpage. That's it. Nothing fancy. I will gladly pay for this if someone is willing to do this

Anyone? Help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I doubt anyone would want that app - no offense. You can open a webpage on your own, you can put a shortcut to it on your homescreen, you don't need to make an app to open a webpage.

But if you absolutely have to make this app (or have it made), try App Inventor. I'm sure it would be able to do something this simple. I've never used it, so I can't tell you much about it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steckums:
I'm looking to upgrade from my original Galaxy Tab within the next few weeks. I have narrowed my search down to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Sony Tablet S. There obviously isn't a Tablet S forum to ask this question yet, but I was wondering what the Tab owner's opinion would be.

Should I get the already-established Tab 10.1, or spring for the brand new Tablet S?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UK BRIT:
i took the plunge and bought the 32gb 10.1 at the weekend and am loving it so far. Couple of work arounds like using USB adaptor to actually put stuff on it from my mac as try as I might, WIFI transfer and joke that is Kies wouldn't work with my mac.

Like I said, have a work around and haven't encountered any issues yet. The HDMI adaptor is also working a treat...have to have it plugged into the power supply but great picture and sound through the TV.

I thought about the S1 too, but I think with the note book design, it'll be too thick. The 10.1 just feels right in the hand. Nearly waited for the smaller Galaxy Tab 8.9 , but the 10.1 with wide screen it a great size for travel and watching on my TV at home which is the main reason for me to get it.

All about preference
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Neither.

Hold off and get something with a better CPU.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Tab but Tegra2 is not all that great and with the next wave of tablets like the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the Toshiba A200 and the widely-rumoured Amazon tablet(s) all featuring far superior CPUs, if you can hold off it'll be worth it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Unless your in the U.S. The tab 7.7 doesn't look like it's coming to the U.S. due to it's ability to be a phone no service provider will work with it. And if you live outside the U.S. the Amazon Kindle Tablet will have only the Amazon app store installed on it and only 8gb. Not too mention no Google support.

Since your in a forum now I am guessing your ready to buy now and not wait. I researched forever when I purchased my Tab 10.1 back in June. Absolutely love it! It's so light, the screen is amazing, touchwiz is OK and after Installing Adw ex from the market it is so smooth. My co-workers awe struck when using it. Two of whom have dropped over a grand on ipad 1 and 2 now want to switch to Android because of its customization. With Ice Cream Sandwich coming everything is moving into the cloud for storage making USB or SD cards non important for tablets.

Get a Tab.

The original 7" Galaxy Tab had the ability to function as a phone and, unless I'm mistaken, every major US network carried it - they just disabled that function.

If it's Android, people will find a way to put the Google apps onto it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I'm just going by what I have read, which is the 7.7 is not coming to the u.s. (we haven't even sniffed the 8.9 yet) And this I do not know of, but can other countries access the amazon app store?

Sent from xda premium app
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
No-one's had the 8.9 yet, so that doesn't really mean anything.

And whilst I appreciate that you're only repeating what's been said elsewhere, the problem with that is that it's a matter of days since the Tab 7.7 was unveiled, nothing will have been decided yet...

Not without tricking your phone into thinking it's in the US, I don't think.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steckums:
I'm actually surprised about the number of responses! The original Tab's forums are slow.

I have the T-mobile version of the Galaxy Tab and I am in the US, so I'm stuck deciding either to have voice calls, or use 3g. This only effects the T-mobile tabs too, guh.

Since I am in the US, I'm not going to see the Tab 7.7, and after having a 7 inch tab for a while, I can say that there are a few reasons why I don't want to have another. Portability was great, but I have a Captivate, which essentially does everything my Galaxy Tab does, only on a smaller screen.

Amazon's tablets are going to lack Google support, which is a very important thing to have, so I'm going to pass those up.

You guys are talking me out of the Tablet S with all this praising of the Tab 10.1. Are there any cons I should be worried about?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
I can't help but imagine that quite quickly after release, someone will work out how to get the proper Android market up and running on the Amazon Tabs.

But it's understandable that you wouldn't want to take the risk, not to mention the first one to be released is likely to be a 7" model, unless I'm mistaken...

It's pretty obvious why - it's the best [Android] tablet on the market just now.

The lack of a memory card slot on the wi-fi model is criminal but other than that, not really.

Just don't use TouchWiz and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmack:
I definitely would say 10.1... However, I do like Touchwiz
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DC_MTP:
Sammy 10.1 hands down!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steckums:
Seeing as the Tablet S is more or less preloaded with those apps, and I'll be able to get most of them elsewhere, all except the universal remote, I'll pick up the Tab 10.1. Especially reading that the Tablet S has some issues with getting scratched easily on the screen and the cheap feeling casing.

Now my next question will be what accessories would be worth investing and where should I get them? Obviously, I'd like a case, and the USB adapter would be a worthwhile investment. Is the docking station/HDMI connector and/or keyboard dock worth getting at all?

Now, I hear a bunch of mixed results for Touchwiz. I'm quite familiar with using TouchWiz on my original Tab and my Captivate, so that has essentially been the whole Android experience for me. At least I think. I normally don't use the default launcher, I've stuck it out with ADW for as long as I can remember, so what will I be missing out by using TouchWiz vs the AOSP ROMs?

Speaking of ROMs, which one should I flash over first?

And the final question is, white or grey?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuabip00:
No down about Tab 10.1 thump up...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsbelpit:
Touchwiz stabilizes many of the bugs I was running into on stock honeycomb (browser crash, keyboard lag)

I also love the version of Swype that came with it.

I wouldn't go back to stock at this point, even though I prefer the stcok look. It's easy enough to get a different launcher, though. In any case, you can always go back to stock.

As the owner of a Vibrant, I can say the Tab's version of TW seems quite a bit less intrusive than tw 3.0 on your captivate. Honestly, I never hated it on the Vib either, just the look of it and I put lp on to solve that.

Anyway, I find the tab a joy to use. I barely use my phone (unless it's to tether) or my desktop anymore.

Edit:

The grey one. White reminds me too much of an ipad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burhanistan:
I think the only reason to get a Sony would be if you already have a house full of Sony devices that can benefit from the integration it purportedly can offer. As it is, those features are probably easily supplanted by regular apps from the Market.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
Purchasing ANY tegra 2 tablet right now would be the biggest mistake you can make. Especially if you already have a tablet and want to upgrade.

Tegra 2 is a VERY old SoC. I does not run many HD video due to its very slow video accelerator. This is a big problem with tegra 2 units.

Quad core tablets with true HD video hardware acceleration start shipping next month. They will be just as thin as current tablets and have similar battery life. Dont waste your money on Tegra 2. You have been warned. Tegra 2 is for phones not tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steckums:
What are some quad core tablets I could look into?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
The only two companies who are expected to release quad-core tablets soon are Amazon and Asus.

However, last I heard, Amazon had put back their quad-core 10" tablet 'til next year and there was no expected date for Asus' follow-up to the Transformer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert2662:
Yap, I agree with step, get an asus, a quad core would be better to perform everythg, including replacing a netbook. Perhaps a quad core is able.to boot a window 8 , lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steckums:
That info is good enough for me. I bought the original Tab back in March, and upgraded 6 months later. I plan on having the Tab 10.1 last me closer to a year, and with no expected date for the first gen quad cores, I'm sure I'll be able to nab one in a back to school sale or something like that this time next year.

- yes, the backup will store all your data, including apps, settings, everything

- yes, you can restore everything, including unroot (if you want to be very sure you can flash the rom via kdz and the phone will be just like out-of-the-box)

- the "bios" is called custom recovery and it will void your warranty but you can go back to the stock recovery by flashing an image of a stock recovery or by flashing a whole rom via kdz (wich will erase everything as I said earlier)

- you will overclock the CPU, gpu tweaking means hw acceleration and other things wich can be disabled.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MoonQuake:
Thanks for the answers 22vin.

The overly careful person that I am asks:

- How do you call the backup of the whole phone data?

- When you do this backup, does it create 1 file, or multiple files? I ask this because I still don't understand how these phones work. Are they like gaming roms and emulators where you get a rom (copy of the cartridge) and you can also add other roms to change the way it works? Like a mod?

I got about 50 other questions, but it's mainly because I don't exactly know what ROMs are in smartphones.

It would be awesome if somebody could point me towards a "Everything you need to know about android phones and custom ROMS" for dummies. I understand how to use it, but not how it works in the inside so that I can safely go ahead with flashing and stuff...

Does this make sense? Tech stuff about the way the OS works and what is a ROM and a kernel... so that I know what I'm doing.

:)

Thanks for the links, terra. I actually read all these pages already.

Finally re-read the whole dictionary page, and in addition to some other info I read, I could make sense of a lot more info.

The general info page uses terms that is not covered in the dictionary/terms page so a lot of info I can't understand.

Like the info about what the kernel does and why change it. Leads to a wikipedia generic kernel page.

NAND actually allows for creating a 1:1 copy of the phone's content. Probably a copy of the internal memory. Another guess is that the OS is also on that partition but I can't find that info.

About the SD card, it seems to allow the copy of some native apps.

Only thing that's not clear is if it leaves ANY traces on the phone after a recover from a backup. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
The Os is no stored in the internet memory and sdcard, it's somewhere else you don't need to know about.

Yes, a Nandroid backup restores your settings before you flash a new ROM. You need to unroot it to make your carrier believe nothing has happened. Another way, you can flash kdz which will completely reset your phone back into into the state you bought it(minus the carrier installed apps).

You only can overclock CPU, not GPU.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before but as usual, Sprint isn't providing me with answers.

First, will the new phone run NetFlix? I've tried some hacked versions on my Android tablet with some success so I'm hopefull on this isuee.

Second, does it support Wi-Fi Direct? I've seen conflicting information and the yahoos at Sprint don't even know what this means.

Ok, one more for good measure, why no NFC? I thought this would be cool to have even if it has limited use in the US.

On the Netflix issue, I can't see why it would not work. I had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D (which I returned) and both ran Netflix just fine. It'd be REALLY stupid if it didn't.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosdaman:
Problem: The stock 2.3.5 messaging app stops me at 160 characters because that's when it is suppose to automatically split the text, but it stops me and will not allow me to type anymore. I cleared the messaging app data and it still does the same thing. I have to send 2 separate text messages, which I may ad is very very very annoying.

Situation:

1. I'm on full stock Nexus S 4G 2.3.5. I'm not rooted.

2. I am using Google Voice and I have updated to the latest version, and I have set it to use my messaging app. I am using the stock 2.3.5 messaging app because that's the one I like.

3. I have isolated the problem to the 2.3.5 stock messaging app. I unported my number from Google Voice, and uninstalled it, and still the messaging app will stop my at 144 characters.

Help me? Is this a known issue? I haven't tried restoring to defaults, doing an RTN reset, or going back to 2.3.4 yet, but I will if that'll fix it. I do not want to use third party application either. I like the stock app and I find this very stupid that this is the only phone that I have encountered this on. I remember this working before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think I was still on 2.3.4 before though.

Okay thank you for your help. It seems that sprint isn't built it automatically split for the nexus, and when you remove the limitation it can't handle it causing the corruption. The messaging program itself had to have a built in thread splitting setting.

Samsung ECC1HC0BBE ECC1HC0BBEGSTA Galaxy Tab HDMI Video Cable

If you just want to buy one, I found these online for $20 at eBay and $23 at Amazon. Docks are available for around the same price.

If you prefer to DIY, you could buy a 30 pin dock connector from Kinetka systems (Kinetka.com) for $4 and wire it up yourself, but I have not looked into it enough to tell if it is a 1:1 wiring job or if any signal modification/translation needs to be done. You can check out the interface PDMI (Portable Digital Media Interface) on Wikipedia, this explains the interface and it's pinout. Note the Samsung connector is physically non-standard to PDMI so please read carefully. You can find an image of the Samsung connector's electrical pinout by searching the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums here. Also, droidangel.blogspot.com posted a .png on his site, but I did not want to repost it without permission so you will have to look for it online.

Given the very high data rate / frequencies involved, it is probably best to just buy one.
