[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] coppertop24:
i would definitely buy again if i had the choice. It may only be a single core but its more than powerful enough. My Xoom out performs it, but my dual core Evo 3D gets smoked by it on the benchmarks. My Xoom is still my big dog but i find myself using the Flyer more often because of the size and portability. While I cant wait for a working Honeycomb port, this is my everyday tab. Happy with the Flyer :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Buy it only if you want the pen. The 7" Samsung may be too similar to your 10" Samsung, but that' because they're both Android tablets. In that respect, the Flyer is different only in that it's still running Gingerbread.

I personally think the Flyer is a great tablet, and the only game in town, currently if you want a 7" tablet with decent pen input. If that's what you want then go for the Flyer. Otherwise, the 7" G-tab will likely be cheaper, thinner, lighter and at least as fast. They'll probably both be of similar build quality. The build quality on the Flyer is superb, but then, so it the 10" G-tab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vipfreak:
I just got one w/pen for $420. Only thing I wish is that I got the view instead... White blows.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
You got that right. I couldn't have put it any better.:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tonkytohap:
At this point with the absence of the august promised honeycomb update, i wouldn't recommend flyer for anybody. I'd recommend g-tab 7.7 to people looking for tablets.

But there's this thing about flyers : htc scribe, magic pen. Virtually no competition on the market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] blue blue man:
Unless you really want the pen capability, it's better to wait for the Tab 7.7. I also suggest to hold off a while until honeycomb comes to the Flyer. It seems to be a BIG update with much deeper pen integration into the system as paulobrien said that "you can use your pen to do everything you do now with your finger", USB OTG can also arrive. FYI, so far I am happy with my Flyer purchase. It's not the smallest and lightest 7in tablet but it's the best for my purposes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zanthexter:
Is there something significant that works under Honeycomb and doesn't under Gingerbread? I'm a bit peeved that the Time Magazine app crashes constantly, but other than that, so far, it's all been good. (and I figure Time will eventually fix their app.)

I'm not saying 3.2 won't be an improvement, just that having to wait a couple more months to get it on the View/Flyer doesn't seem like a deal breaker to me. The Flyer/View, as it is, right now, works really well.

For the Gtab7.7, you're going to have to wait a few months with nothing in the mean time, and it's going to be HSPA+ only. Heck, have they said it's coming to your country? Looks like it'll be banned from Europe, and wasn't specced (as of now) for the US.

Start with the intended use, then see if the specs fit it. So, the question is, assuming the Tab7.7 has better specs, will they make a real difference in what you do with the tablet? I'm guessing that for games, probably, at least for a few. For everything else, probably not all that much. Fair chance that both will feel slow as molasses in a year, when the quad core tablets are hitting the market. So, for a year, will it make a real difference? Something to consider...

The bigger question to ask yourself, is why buy a 7" device unless you plan to use it everywhere. And if you plan to use it everywhere, does NOT having fast cellular coverage make sense? It's costing me $45 a month for insurance, 3GB 3G, unlimited 4G service with Sprint, and while I certainly wish it was less, I AM willing to pay for it. If the device is at home, or unconnected, it's just not useful enough for me. I wouldn't buy a WiFi only tablet, in any size. I just wouldn't use it all that much.

Personally, I'm comfortable with the specs on the View. It can open up the Target flash ad from the middle of the store in a reasonable amount of time. Once things got to that point, further improvements weren't that important to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxmeister:
I got my 32GB 3G Flyer on saturday last week, as a replacement for my ageing Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, which I use when travelling for work. I've also got a WiFi Galaxy Tab 10.1, but that's more of a home-based device.

I was planning on waiting for the GT 7.7, but then I read it wasn't going to be available until the end of the year, so the decision to get the 3G Flyer was a no-brainer for me as I didn't want to wait, although I'm pretty certain I'll get a GT 7.7 once they become available.

I am looking for a vinyl skin that I would be able to customize with my own design for the back. Does anybody know of a site that would let me?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
Also I'd like to be only able to purchase the back side and not a front, because id have a clear one on the font so I can see the black bezzle.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
Thanks for the suggestion but I would like it to be customizable like they offer at http://www.skinit.com

The only problem they have is that they sell both sides when i want only the back.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3xeroeagle:
Hello, I got the ATRIX on Bell and I tried rooting it yesterday...I don't know if it worked but when I installed Superuser I couldn't access any applications from it. So I took it as if it didn't work and Factory Reset everything (I haven't installed any ROMS or anything else) I followed these steps I found on the AndroidForums

So now I was wondering if I try to root it again will it brick the phone? I'm running on Gingerbread 2.3.4. Would superoneclick work with this?

Thanks (I tried to look for similar threads but couldn't find any, sorry for double posts)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
I updated to Whitehawkx's Valhalla, and flashed successfully, although when booting I would get a fuzzy/snowy screen.

After reasearching, I found that I needed the GB bootloaders. So, I went to the Bible post, found the "updated bootloader" GB ROM, and attempted to flash it via odin.

Here's where I think I went wrong. I put the phone in download mode. In Odin, which I've used extensively in the past, I checked the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox, then attempted to load the PIT, Phone, and CSC files from that GB ROM linked in the Bible post.

It hung.. I let it sit for well over an hour, and it was just stuck on zImage, in the "Message" area of Odin, where it shows progress.

I unplugged the usb, replugged, tried again.. same thing.

I rebooted phone, and it no longer goes into bootmode. I get an active screen, that displays a small handset icon connected to a PC icon, with an orange warning triangle between..

Again, cannot get into download mode, even with every method posted. It always just displays this same graphic.

Since the display is functioning, I assume it is not hard bricked.. but hoping for something to help!

Thanks mucho in advance. I have many hours into trying to recover, before coming to the community with tail between legs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
hmm, I've never checked/unchecked anything in ODIN, I just let it decide on its own (if a box came up checked, I left it).

I wonder if you might need a jig to be able to get it into DL mode again? There is a post about that somewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Yeah, as I mentioned, that's where I think I went awry as well. Figured that since I was primarily wanting to replace the bootloader, I should check it. Probably my big downfall though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Odin should still be able to pick up your phone with that screen. It might take a bunch of tries as well as switching between 1.7 and 1.85. Just keep trying. Flash kg4 then Honks kernel. Should give you cwm access then reflash valhalla
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
You can still odin at that screen. Re install the usb drivers. Also try conecting your usb to a different port and monitor with odin if it picks up the phone. If you have adb installed run adb devices to see if yiur pc recognizes the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Thanks! That's what I am continuing to do. I cannot get it to be a recognized device, but i think my PCs (tried 3) have messed drivers now, as my wife has an SGS4G, and I cannot even get her phone to be recognized as a device any longer.

Keepin' on though. thanks for the encouragement and ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Use a program called usbdeview to uninstall old faulty driver copies assuming that you are on windows. Then when you plug your phone in again it should work just fine after it reinstalls the drivers for the phone. The you should have no problem with your comp recognizing your phone.

My comp did that to me last night and I had to use the same process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Excellent help, that allowed me to get the phone connected. Appreciate it.

However, I can get Odin to see the device, but do nothing with it. I've tried flashing the KG4 as recommended, then I tried a few others, including going back to KC1.

I can never get past "Setup Connection" in the log, which looks like this:

<ID:0/009> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> pda.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/009> Odin v.3 engine (ID:9)..
<ID:0/009> File analysis..
<ID:0/009> SetupConnection..

So, I'm connecting, starting the process, getting MD5 validation, and then not connecting. So, I think I am VERY close, but I can't get past this.

Greatly appreciate more thoughts, even if it's unrecoverable. You guys have got me this far, and I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] golmar88:
I had this happen the other day and had to go back to KC1 "fix", found here.

That link 3/4 of the way down on the first post will give you like 3 or 4 files to put in odin. Before you try it restart your comp and phone. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hey golmar.... :D... Did you use your own bible thread to find that link? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
FB, your are quite funny! Anyway, you should have never checked "phone bootloader update", that is probably the second most dangerous thing you can do in ODIN.

List of dangerous ODIN stuffs.

1. Repartion with wrong pit(wrong means never able to boot again even with bootloader fix)

2. Check "bootloader update"

3. "EFS clear"

4. Put a file with bootloaders in the "bootloader" section. You have to put it in PDA.

5. flash wrong bootloaders. ( you can unbrick using a few methods)

6. flash the wrong rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Yes, I knew it, as soon as I did it, as I stated.

I got it to start to flash, and then hang.. for hours. I saw probably 5mm of a progress bar on the phone. From there, I can now go into download mode via battery pull/usb/volumes/battery insert. However, I can never get past "Setup Connection.." in ODIN.

Luckily, I have had a work holiday to day to "labor" over this less-then-optimal situation. Still nada though. I continue to get messed up drivers, and when I get the correct ones loaded, I only get to "Setup Connection..." on the ODIN flash.

Over the years, I've gotten into many "close to paperweight" situations, when cooking early WM ROMs. I've never been this deep in time to recover.. without results.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
You must use heimdall to insure optimum results, also there is a different driver. Just follow my post on heimdall. It is in the development section. Also, I would suggest using version 1.1.1 instead of 1.3.x or whatever. It should be on the heimdall site. Just google it. All the archived versions are still there. 1.1.1 is easier, as it has a more easy to use GUI for some people and you don't need to use a pit file. Primary boot loader is boot.bin and secondary boot loader is sbl.bin. Make sure you have C++ 2010 redistributables on your computer and navigate to the "drivers" section in the folder you download. Open zadig, and then go to options and list all devices, you should then see Samsung composite USB or something like that, click install driver, when it is done, just use heimdall. It may fail giving you a message like failed to find phone or failed to retrieve config descriptor or something like that. just force off your phone and put it back into the computer and if you get to the phone ---> computer screen, you should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Thanks airfluip1! I'll give it a shot tonight. I already had tried Heindall, from you post, so I have it all downloaded already (1.1.1), along w/C++.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Well, with Heimdall, I get consistent, replicatable failures. I can flash the primary bootloader, but it always fails at 20% on the secondary bootloader (even tried the "backup secondary bootloader" flash with the same result:

c:\heimdall>heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot-backup sbl.b

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Im not a pro at this. But if youve been doing.it with the pit file included, try without the pit file. Worked for me. :x.

P.s. The kg4 files.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bimboy:
Thanks! That was something I tried immediately. I may be looking at something I need a jig for. I wonder if partitioning got hosed, and it is not allowing me to write to disk, where it thinks it should be. Also, not sure if it is worth my time, compared to buying the next latest and greatest. Kind of a good news/bad news scenario.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cjry:
Just wanted to thank everyone for this thread... I ran into the same problem as the OP did when I tried flashing Valhalla.... Somehow I manged to completely overlook the giant red bold message about needing the GB bootloader. So, I got the boot loop and the fuzzy screen mentioned, but what I did was go into download mode and Odin flashed Krylon's stock+root per this extremely detailed tutorial.

Tomorrow I'll probably entertain flashing up to GB, but for now I'm just glad not to be bricked....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jay Aristide:
Try this DL mode method

Get the KG4 leak and load it into Odin.

Leave everything as-is (including re-partition).

Pull the battery from your phone.

Plug the phone into the PC.

Hold Vol+Up and VOL+Down while connecting the battery.

Once Odin picks your phone up, hit start.

You *really* shouldn't have any problems at that point. I've encountered the exact same issue, and entering DL mode using this method worked for me.

Once your phone is up and going on KG4, use Odin again to flash Valhalla, and you're good to go :)

You can also do this if you are able to get back into download mode. Has saved me a couple times. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223765. I'm aware that you already fixed it, but for future reference. :)

Use my heimdall oneclick.

Be sure to read the directions. Use the SMS-KJ6 oneclick! It has my kernel (v0.0.2d) in it with cwm.

Flash once to flash the rom, flash twice to be able to flash bootloaders. Both flashes will reboot the phone. Let the phone boot all the way to the pink t-mobile screen before doing a battery pull (when you go to flash the second time) or boot all the way to android.

hi...

i used this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

to root my phone and get a custom rom.

i choose the Insertcoin with CM7 hboot 130mb for apps... i though that would be enough when i had 1gb ext2 on my sd card, but most of my apps cant be moved to sd card :(

link to rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016940

so i wonder if i could use the other one with the 250mb for apps?

as the guide says i have used the alpharev method to S-off, but im not sure if i can use the insert rom cause it says it needs stock hboot?

are there maybe other roms that you can recommend that is stable and something like insertcoin (or better)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
If you have an ext-partition apps are on the sd-card even if they don't say so, so you have space for more apps than you might think(as they don't take up nearly as much space as they indicate).

But in order to maximize this, go to oxygen. It's a very stable rom with plenty of free space. Use the oxygen hboot from alpharev and then flash the rom from here:

http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=514 With this i have around 330 mb on data(the partition for apps) and a little less after first boot.

edit: of course you can get almost unlimited space by using any data2ext rom, but they are just so much slower.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menthos:
as far as I can see, oxygen isnt based on any htc rom... and I kind of like the new sense, and would prefer to stick with that...

i think the speed of insertcoin is fine, i havent had any problems with it yet...

i will ty to look for the data2ext roms could be worth trying
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
sure but you should find the aosp one much speedier. Anyway with data2ext you will get a data partition the size of the ext-partition, which means in your case you'll get 1 gb for apps.
[Dell Streak 7] Moises08:
Hey, folks!

I'm facing to a hard dilemma. I can't consider, whether i schould pick an a100 piece from Acer or Dell.

I've read a ton of topics about dell on my favorite xda, so the shortcommings of this one are for me clear:

1. Display. For me that isn't a major shortcoming, cause i'm blind, i have a -4.5 diopters and 'm currently without glasses :sad:

2. Battery. At first, i wanna mention, that i want a non-3g version, cause AFIAK rumors are saying that it sucks the battery less. I know about "removing phone.apk, connectivity.apk and stuff like that" tweek, and anybody, who had tested this, mentioned that it doesn't give a drastic result ("4 times more"- the title of that toppic says :huh:, thats a little bit naive.)

I don't wanna my unit to last 2 hours with a simple WiFi browsing.

But, one user at well-known here russian forum 4pda (i'm from Moscow;)) told me a riddicously unbeliveable thing. He told me, that his WiFi-only unit lasts 2 days (!!!) without switching WiFi off, with 3 hours playing Samurai 2 and reading an Ebook. Is he F<>ing kidding me?!

As for Acer, this is kinda new piece, without any deacent information and any clear future situation with community. But the one drowback of this we know.

Again, this is a stupid lack of battery! Why?!

Another question: why the Acer's unit have TWICE as small battery as Dell's Streak 7 (1530 mah vs. ca. 2800) and lasts longer(8 hours of Web-browsing)?! Or the person on 4pda has done the apk's trick and he's right?

I don't realy know.

Please, folks help me. And i'm sure for many other people this information will be usefull.

Sorry for the maybe too strong emotions and for a little bit wrong spelling.

Thank you.

Let me share my experience with you. I have the wifi ds7 running Stockrom 2.2.2. The only thing I have the done is root it and remove the phone & telephony apk. I set my power setting to "aggressive" so that the data connection shuts down when the ds7 is in standby. I use my ds7 mainly for web browsing and I get 8-9 hours battery life. This is good enough for me because I charge it each night. I hope this help you.
