[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So just curious, but will it be possible for us to get this on the Photon? Or do you think they're pretty much just skip over any phone that isn't all ready released with it? And weren't they able to put Gingerbread onto the Evo? So would this be possible? Just curious, since I'm sure someone out there has some info or idea. Thanks. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xxxicu812:
Good question. I know that with my hero I got support up to eclair then sprint decided to pull the plug right before froyo so I too would like to know this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
We'll probably get it, now that Google owns Motorola. But even if that is not the case, the hardware in our phone MORE than supports any version of Android that Google can cook up, and we already have a relatively new kernel so porting it shouldn't be as hard as it was when trying to get Gingerbread on the HTC Hero.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Cool. That'd be pretty awesome. I look forward to it, then it kinda voids the need to upgrade to the Prime. Since we will probably have a quicker clock speed for our processor by then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
I don't really see the need for a higher clock speed already... hell, Android with the MotoBlur and Motorola bloat on there already runs smooth as butter. I'd even venture to say we could underclock a bit to save some battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rancid7447:
At this year's IO it was announced google, major carriers and OEMs agreed to 18 months of updates provided the hardware could handle it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IP IHI II IL:
We'll get it, but it could take a while. Once the OS is released, the UI devs & providers have to play with it to get everything to play well together. That's part of the reason Gingerbread took so long to push out, and it's still not on every phone that can handle it. I don't mind waiting, as long as it's being done right. But the Google acquisition of Moto Mobile still has my hopes up that we'll get it sooner than later...

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah. I'm not worried about battery life. I generally am not able to use my phone at work, as it's not waterproof. So to me that doesn't matter, I just prefer the speed factor. But it runs amazingly all ready. Just always looking for that little extra is all. And as for Ice Cream, I would prefer we got it working smoothly that'd be very much so preferable, rather than some hack job. So I don't mind waiting either. Was just curious. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I swear I read somewhere that Ice cream sandwhich was only going to be for tablets. Guess they were wrong, I dunno. Thought I got it from the wiki. Anyways the prime looked pretty cool, but who knows. I think they are going to start coming out with lots of new phones here very soon, including quad cores, and the like. Which could be quite interesting. Just hope they give us the proper batteries to run with those things. lol

I dont think a 1800mah is going to cut it for all day usage. lol

ICS is going to be the first OS for both phones and tablets
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
ICS will be the first OS to actually utilize both cores in these phones. Honeycomb is designed for dual core systems, but the UI is designed for larger screens. ICS will be a dual core platform that can adapt to different screen sizes. I think this might be why we are having a hard time overclocking both cores currently. Gingerbread isn't really coded for dual cores like ICS is. At least this is what I understand from reading blogs and articles about ICS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Awesome, thanks for the info! Good to know!

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sweet. I really can't wait to get this on our phone. Gonna be pretty awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dreDrennon1:
I have been reading up on it as much as possible and not only is it for tablets and phones it is supposed to be backwards compatible meaning older phones with older hardware will be able to run it also
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Do you have the place you were reading that? I'd be curious to read the article as well. If you don't mind.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ricocollege:
They cut most of the updates out if ICS and push them back to Jelly bean. There is no conformation the there will be dual core support anymore. I hope it is still in there, but we have to wait to find out.

And it sounds like ICS will only be on prime anyway for a while. Unless devs code a version over and no major devs teams are working on Roms for the Photon. I am sure you will all see ICS but not for a very very long time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dreDrennon1:
Here is some info on ICS I will post more in a few http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets/android-4-0-what-you-need-to-know-968819

A friend of mine who works for Sprint just told me that the Moho will be one of the first to get ICS. Take this news how you will because I have nothing to back it up, but if it is true that will be awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jo_795:
I had a moto rep tell me he has seen Icecream on the photon already ;) I work for Sprint now dates , releases i don't know but its a good possibility.

A taste of ICS

Wonder what ICS might look like? This is by no means official, but they guys took a guess at what it might look like and built an app. Looks cool anyway. The app is just below the video.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sndtubes:
So if the os we have now doesn't support dual core cpu's and neither do the Apps, then what is all the hype about dual core processors? Seems pointless to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Yeah but you could also say the same about owning a Ferrari, we can only do 70MPH max in the UK, but it's sure good to know you have the power to do more :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Theres a ICS launcher floating around....
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Really? Any idea where? And is that the OS or just launcher?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Sick...can't wait.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Really? Look at post 23 of this thread. About 4 posts above yours... ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
oh cool, this would be nice if ICS rolls out a single click with shortcut windows to all the music, maps, email, sms and down the list. that little one click in the lower right is nice. and i def would like the option like they have on that little launcher to remove the icon labels. makes things alot cleaner with all the labels removed IMO. except, it removes the lables in the launcher also.

guess all we can do is sit and wait! kinda feels like 16, 18, and 21st bday all over again. its coming, but not soon enough it feels like! hurry up ICS, we are all waiting impatiently for you :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Oops. Haha. Thanks cents!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
HAHA I didn't even read the link above me I saw it on briefmobile.com lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Haha. Glad you guys found it. Anyone mess around with it yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I will once I get home and charge my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So I used it for all of five mins and 6% of battery usage. Christ. It's okay. But au would have to get used to it I think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So that will be a no go for now for me. Drains battery and device isn't supported on the SMS feature. Just my two cents.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IP IHI II IL:
You can't really trust a would be launcher to tell you what to expect from ICS.... We're gonna get it, it's a matter of patience...

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'm not using that as a base for ICS. Just that I don't care for the app myself. I could get used to it. Just killed battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] carltonhimself:
I posed this question in the nightly thread, bit I figured here would be more appropriate:

1. How conceivable is it to flash the stock Gingerbread MMS apk over CM7 to make MMS work right, even over wifi?

2. If that doesn't work for anyone, what about pulling the apk out of an older nightly (where it worked perfectly) and flashing that? If that could work, anybody know the last nightly that it worked on?

3. Should I just suck it up and wait it out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
1.backup

2.flash

If it works cool, if it doesn't, then restore...

[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
I decided to check out a skin to increase the grip on my Touchpad. As I already have the Skinomi TechSkin on my SGSII which I find to be great, that`s a natural choice for my pad.

On clearance at $16.95 for the carbon fibre or wood effect for the Jaguar owners club and $12.95 for the clear. The body cover includes a screen protector also available for $6.95. Shipping to the UK is $5.95 BUT the GET25 code works for 25% off even though it`s on clearance. So for £12.07 shipped I get a full body cover and screen protector. Not bad!

Had my SGSII for about four months and it still looks brand new.

http://www.skinomi.com/hptop.html
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
Saw this on FatWallet.com or slickdeals.net (forget which) and jumped on it.

I just paid $12.71US for the carbon fiber full skin and screen protector delivered!

Hell, I paid close to $30 for fully skinning my G-Tablet in woodgrain (looks awesome after 8 months, BTW).
[TouchPad Accessories] delawaresace:
just paid under $10 shipped for the clear. I'll come back after i install it and let you know how it went. thanks for the heads up on this.
[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
The Touchpad is a little slippy for my taste and I find the HP case flap a little awkward at times but the CF skin adds a nice amount of friction and does protect from small knocks. Dropped my SGSII a couple of times no damage so far, though with the weight of the TP don`t think it would be that effective on to something hard from any great height. How well it forms to fit the curvy back remains to be seen. Still I`ll post feedback when I get it.
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
Don't buy if you want the back completely covered

Anybody considering these - be warned. They decided to cut holes in the back skin to reveal the hideous HP logo for some reason. :mad:

Neither their pictures nor descriptions on the website I ordered from showed or mentioned this design change/bad idea anywhere. So basically, what you see is NOT what you get.

Anyway, they are not interested in taking care of a repeat customer so my order was cancelled and a refund issued. That's OK, plenty of other companies standing in line to take my money.
[TouchPad Accessories] Axecaster:
Doesn't the cut out center hole have its own circle that could be placed back into the open area? What site sells a carbon fiber back without the cutout hole?
[TouchPad Accessories] erick161:
didn't like how the CF fitment looked so I just got the clear. Besides, my TP is always in the HP case anyways. Just wanted a little extra protection
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
If it does ... and you did put it back, that would really look like pure crap. :(
[TouchPad Accessories] Axecaster:
Maybe there's a chance the circle won't remove unless provoked? Just not into the idea of $30 for one of these carbon fiber cutouts, especially if the corners are questionable. I'm more concerned about boxwave or clarivue style anti-glare protectors to make the screen feel different. Personally, I find the HP logo on the back to be fugly, but there doesn't seem to be many options besides the folio cases that don't excite me too much.
[TouchPad Accessories] big_raji:
Looks like it's mentioned and shown. On the carbon fiber pic, you can see the logo cutout clearly if you're looking for it, and can't see it if you aren't. No dishonesty there.
[TouchPad Accessories] nunjabusiness:
That was all changed well AFTER I called them out on several forums and cancelled my order.

Doesn't change a thing - even though they "tried" to line up the pattern I can see the circle clearly, even in those small pictures - as will anyone who gives it more than a glance. Looks like absolute ghetto to me. Here is one of the original pictures in this post: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-accessories/298321-skinomi-techskins-touchpad-clearance-2.html#post3152302. Is that clear enough?

Maybe that is good enough for some of you, but I have higher aesthetic standards. The appearance though is only part of it. I was more disappointed by their behavior in changing the product AFTER a number of people had placed orders. They will have some returned when people see how they actually look in person.
[TouchPad Accessories] big_raji:
Well that's a bit shady then... but at least it's fixed now.
[TouchPad Accessories] Axecaster:
I knew something was fishy, as I swore they had photos showing no circle cutout.
[TouchPad Accessories] BigOnes69:
I just got mine installed the hole in the opposite direction to the normal grain. It has an Escher affect to it that I like.
[TouchPad Accessories] Axecaster:
Any alignment issues? Mine's still sitting here, unopened. Unsure if I'll even use it. A return would probably only get me $8 or 9 dollars back.
[TouchPad Accessories] UnderZone7:
could you upload pics of your skin?
[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
Mine finally arrived. The fitting was easy but as ever with this job lining things up is the hardest part I was about 1 mm top to bottom and about 1/2mm to the side out in placing the CF skin but it`s close enough. The screen protector is accurately cut but again after about 5 goes lining it up I ended up about 1mm out and got a dust mote trapped under it. Very clear after only 12 hours and has a good feel to it. Almost as good as the glass but doesn`t show fingerprints off any where near as much.

Pics below.

Thanks... How long did shipping take its been like 2 weeks now and I still haven't received my product...
[TouchPad Accessories] pseudoswede:
I ordered mine on 9/19, shipped on 9/20, and delivered on 9/23.

Not sure how long it takes for packages to cross the border.
[TouchPad Accessories] DaRkMyk:
mine I ordered 9/12 Shipped 9/15 Arrived 9/27 with the carton deformed and torn. :mad:

the skin is folded, I hope it won't be visible when I install it.
[TouchPad Accessories] Aldiggi:
Can that cut out be removed to show the HP logo?
[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
When you peel the skin off the backing the cutout stays there and has to fitted later. It does also come with a clear protective cover for the logo as well.
[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
I ordered on the 9th, shipping info was sent on the 14th but didn`t hit LA Post Office processing until the 20th and arrived on the 26th.
[TouchPad Accessories] UnderZone7:
Exact same here except I ordered on the 8 and just received my product this morning.:)
[TouchPad Accessories] rootbeer001:
mine was screen protector was folded up too, but it installs very nicely. no visible indication that the skin was folded up. i was very impressed at how clear the protector got after a couple of days. not perfectly smooth if you look at it from an angle with some light, but once the touchpad is on, you can't tell at all. a good $6 investment for me.
[TouchPad Accessories] DaRkMyk:
Thanks, you relieved me with my worries. I haven't installed mine, I'm still using a generic screen protector and the original TP case.
[TouchPad Accessories] wildkarrde21:
You think that's bad...ordered the wood skin and got it yesterday...box was deformed and it's missing the actual wood skin. Came with the screen protector rolled up though.
[TouchPad Accessories] mmontanaa:
The carbon fibre Skinomi worked great on my HP. I'd get another anyday (hopefully I don't have to).
[TouchPad Accessories] zigzagable:
i bought a screen protector from skinomi and it sucked. there was an unremovable mark on it, it couldn't be applied without bubbles, and the "bubble remover" didn't work. i ended up applying it to the back because the screen is gorilla glass anyway and i don't care what the back looks like. don't buy this!
[TouchPad Accessories] Fall Guy:
Not the experience I had. I applied mine five times trying to line it up properly I didn`t have any significant bubbles at any time and the small ones left at the last time worked out fairly easily using the supplied tool. You just need to use plenty of lube :)
[TouchPad Accessories] jumphour:
I like my carbon fiber skin. I wasn't gonna put on the screen protector (frustrating experiences with Zaggs), but I decided to do it a couple of days ago. It came out pretty good, and after a couple of days, the tiny bubbles went away. I kept putting the TouchPad back in the box it came in every night, and last night it pulled the corner of the screen protector up, so when I went to take it out of the box, the corner adhered to the inside of the box and I couldn't get the tablet out of the box! I pulled and pulled, kinda messed up the box, and the screen protector peeled back and ripped off some of the inside paper on the inside of the box. So that's gone!

If I'm really careful, I can put the tablet with the skin on it inside the HP TouchPad case. I was excited about the skin, but forgot that it'd make it a little thicker and might not be able to use the HP case.
[TouchPad Accessories] rootbeer001:
the tiny bubbles will eventually go away. i was surprised by how clear and bubble-free it got after a couple of days. it looked rather matte when applying it on, but it become glossy clear when all done. the plastic card is useful to get large bubbles out.

a little tip, slide bubbles towards each other to make a larger bubble that can be pushed off to the side easily. don't push too hard or you might risk "stretching" the protector at the bubble spot. i found that smaller bubbles were harder to push out, but larger ones were much easier.

i have a slight mark on mine, but it is not noticeable at all while my tp is on. the feel of it is a only a little tackier than the stock screen, so some people may not enjoy that, but it will not show fingerprints as much as stock.
[TouchPad Accessories] creativedsign:
I had Skinomi screen protector for like a month or so. Not a bad product for $6. But if i would have to pay full price - i wouldn't b pretty upset.

Skin is very soft so if u will touch it with a nail or other objects - it will get damaged very easy.

It's Very glossy.

I have folio case - every time corners of folio touches protective screen - they leave marks on it.

So i would say $6 ok, but not the best solution.
[TouchPad Accessories] facetubespam:
Anyone tried their new DRY TECH skin/screen protector?

It's supposed to be an easy apply which is something I prefer.
[TouchPad Accessories] hotts23:
I used the dry-tech skin on my Archos 101 tablet before I got a touchpad, and it seemed to go very easy for me. I was very satisfied with the product for the price.
[TouchPad Accessories] addnaan:
thanksssssssss
[TouchPad Accessories] C5Longhorn:
I just put the Skinomi screen protector and back cover film on. I'm pretty disappointed. I installed it on Sunday night and I still have several bubbles in the film and the fit and finish was not that good. I followed all instructions and was careful. I'm not sure if I will keep it on or not. I Maj just end up getting a case.

[TouchPad Accessories] strikerage:
Kind of a trick to applying Skinomi. I usually douse the screen and then spread the liquid around with two fingers. I then drench the protector and use my fingers to smooth the excess off the sheet to reduce bubbles. After carefully applying (enough lube will allow for several peal back attempts), I use the card to pressure slide all the bubbles out.

Tip:

The card can actually scratch the protector if applied to hard. The solution I found was to use a screen cleaning cloth (the HP cloth that came with the TP works fine) and wrap the card tightly. Using the cloth as a buffer, you can apply more pressure, going from the center of the screen towards the edge of the bezel.

After two days my screen is super crisp! Hope this helps!

"A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men."
[TouchPad Accessories] dallas.maverick:
I applied the carbon fiber skin without any issues. I already had the screen protector from overstock, so I will save the skinomi screen protector for later. One suggestion about the skin, don't try to do it by yourself, I had someone hold the touch pad while I applied it, get the back of Touch pad first, then get the edges of the screen protector warm using a mild heat blower and finally apply edges one at a time.
[TouchPad Accessories] duele:
Amazing deal. My skin for my my touch 4g was more than this. I ordered two and put one on. Not gonna lie looks amazing! At first it looked bad but eventually all the bubbles disappeared. I'm not experienced either. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I'm planning on upgrading to the Epic Touch 4G when it comes out, but my upgrade isn't due up for a few more months. However, my mom's phone is long overdue for an upgrade, and she's going to get my old Epic. My question is, can I use her upgrade on my line while transferring her line to my old phone?

It actually depends on where you buy it from i think

On wirefly there us a large fee if you use on a different number

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawrj:
I have done this many times. Have done it at the sprint store and radio shack. Just tell them you want to upgrade this line but you want to swap phones. I did it when I got the Epic. I did it to upgrade my daughters phone. And when I put my daughter on the account I gave my wife the new phone and my daughter her phone. Right at the counter each time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
^^^^

This. I just did this when I got my nexus. I wanted to wait for the epic touch. However my mother in law really needed a new phone. Her moment finally died lol. So I just used her upgrade for the nexus and switch the phone right there at sprint. So she got my old epic and I got the nexus s4g.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martinpibb22:
Alright, that sounds good. Thanks for the help everyone!
