[Galaxy S I9000 General] nhenze:
Hi,

I recently did some research about smartphones' touchscreens and found some strange results for the Samsung GT-i9003 Galaxy SL. It seems to be the only popular Android device with a touchscreen that has a lower resolution than the actual number of pixels.

For research purpose I developed a simple Android game that collects some hundred million touch events from different devices (see [1]). Visualizing the touch distribution for the i9003 shows that the touch-part of the GT-i9003′s touchscreen has only half the resolution of a regular Galaxy S (see [2]). There are two rows of pixels that can be tapped followed by two rows that are cannot be tapped.

Since we don't have an i9003 I'm curious if what I found in the data makes a difference for the device's usability. If one of you has an i9003 I would like to know if you have any problem with the screen's accuracy or latency. In particular if someone has compared the i9003 and the i9000.

Thanks in advance,

Niels

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Majes:
I'm astonished...such low quality...even in the i9000...those lines are so horribly uneffective!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nhenze:
I played with the i9000 and I don't think that one can notice the missing lines. They are only one pixel and your finger is much bigger but the i9003 is just too strange. Especially considering that Android gives you sub-pixel accuracy for touch positions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tanu_invincible:
i'd the i9003...and it doesnt make any diffference..both i9000 and i9003 has the same touchscreen response..!!
[Atrix 4G General] gk141054:
Hi folks,

Have just ordered my wife an Atrix last night for a bargain price here in the UK.

I just had a couple of basic questions if you guys could help me out:

1. I understand that the Atrix in the UK is still on Froyo yet the US are on GB. Is this correct and have Moto said when they will release GB?

2. I noticed the sticky about oneclickroot and I think it said you needed GB to use that. If the UK Atrix is on Froyo then is there another way to root it?

3. What is the battery life like on the Atrix. The specs lists I saw the Atrix battery was much bigger than the S2 for example, but the specs listed standby time of 300 or 400 hours for the Atrix compared to 700 hours for the S2 which seemed crazy.

4. In general, what are the best and worst things about the Atrix compared to other Android phones that will make me love or hate it?

Cheers guys.
[Atrix 4G General] surrealjam:
Hello

Welcome to Atrix!

My take on your queries:

1) Indeed, only Froyo on UK operators (T-Mobile and Orange) without an expected release date for Gingerbread. I have heard rumours of "some time in Q4 2011" but I wouldn't count on it. Might be as well to get on board with the Cyanogenmod builds as they are nearly complete now.

2) I followed this guide for root. You do not need Gingerbread, but you will need fastboot. This guide is about unlocking the bootloader, but has the fastboot package and explains how to use it (from point 16 on).

3) Battery life - the age old question! How long is a piece of string? In real terms, it has the 1900mah battery, so it will be better than most other handsets (which tend to use 1500mah or less). Average use: you should easily get through a day and maybe even a couple.

4) Love: the 1gb RAM and dual core processor. Hate: the lack of updates from Moto... hence moving to CM7!

Hope this is a little help to you.
[Atrix 4G General] gk141054:
Thanks for the answers mate, some follow-ups:

Is Cyanogenmod Gingerbread?

I understand most stuff works on it except the fingerprint scanner?
[Atrix 4G General] surrealjam:
Yeah, I believe fingerprint scanner and webtop are the only shortcomings of it. Neither of which I happen to use anyway... For a beta, it is amazingly stable and fast.

Cyanogenmod is currently on 2.3.5 (at least, stable builds are). One thing you can always rely on with Cyanogen is, after Google release the code for a new version, the Cyanogen team will be working their little socks off to get it into their builds. With Motorola, well.... get used to waiting.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
My battery life on Froyo was great. I could go 2 days easily without charging, 3-4 hours of screen on time. With GB it's gone down significantly.
[Desire Accessories] johns1982:
This is an age old topic I know, but was browsing the HTC sensation and sgs 2 forums.

When reading I can across an extended battery making called anker, reviews have been very positive for both phones.

Anyway to cut the story short I emailed anker and they do an extended battery for the HTC desire they provided me with link on amazon.

The title says for inspire and desire hd.

Here's the link

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1600mAh-Battery-Inspire-BD26100/dp/B004YGALYQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316659922&sr=8-1

[Desire Accessories] Ken957:
Anyone has experience with this 1600mAh battery? (positive or negative)

http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/1600-MA...176?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a0f0220f0

My brother is using my desire now, it's already 1,5years old.

So I'm thinking of getting a new battery for it, maybe this is something?

Too bad Anker doesn't have a Desire battery.. I ordered anker for my Sensation, I'm curious if it will perform better than stock.
[Desire Accessories] nickabbott:
I agree! Unfortunately it just looks too.... wrong! Granted it might be great for people who can't charge often but I find my phone lasts at a minimum one day with normal usage and possibly 2 if I forget to charge it and don't use it much other than texting and say 30 mins of calls.

You would also need a modified case for it as well and I definitely need one of those as I seem to have a problem with dropping expensive things and my desire has been saved a few times from chips / bumps! by using a rubber case holder!
[Desire Accessories] michaelboruta:
Is there any external battery for Desire which seemlesly blends with the phone like some iPhone external battery, which looks like a normal silicon cover?
[Desire Accessories] Jezz_X:
I doubt it very much but in the end it would probably just be easier to get a second battery and pop the cover and swap it out its not that hard but I guess you have to carry it around with you
[Desire Accessories] nieker:
I would like to warn you for some of these (cheap) batteries. I got one from ebay for one of my previous phones (nokia) and the battery just melted when charging. My phone was ok, but I don't think it was a very safe/healthy situation :)
[Desire Accessories] bearbonez:

2450mAh HIGH Capacity Gold BUSINESS Replacement Battery for HTC DESIRE

no need for an extended back ;)
[Desire Accessories] Ken957:
Do you have experiences with the gold 2450mAh battery?

Does it really lasts longer then stock battery?

You can save your money, I bought this 1600mAh battery but even after 5 cycles and batt stats wipe it's just ****.

It just performs @75% of the stock battery.

Good for spare, but reusing the stock battery now..

http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/1600-MA...3&hash=item2a0f0220f0&clk_rvr_id=295377745471
[Desire Accessories] bearbonez:
Yes I get a lot longer out of the extended gold battery, but I'm running the Runnymede 3.0.4 AIO rom and that suffers from heavy battery drain but this battery lasts all day now, I just need a wall charger and a second battery and I'm all good ;)
[Desire Accessories] kciko:
I only believe in original batteries
[Desire Accessories] BombaUcigasa:
I have one of those. Some apps or the OS see it as 780mAh, I didn't do much testing to find the real truth, but the actual battery is smaller in size than the stock one (maybe 1350-1500 max), has a cheaper and stupider controller (no voltage, no temperature) and it will decay faster than an original SANYO battery (it will be worse than your current battery is now in about a year with similar usage).

Ask yourself, what would you want to have in your pocket when your main battery discharges completely:

- 5 euro banknote

- 5 euro replacement battery with at least half charge

You get what you pay for.

its actually a 1450mAh battery , but you need to peel back the label to find out
[Desire Accessories] okishead:
I totally agree, though for HTC Desire HD i ve only found 1500mAh

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ery-for-for-htc-desire-hd-softbank-001ht.html

I wonder if they have bigger one.:cool:
[Desire Accessories] porcupineli:
Well, they only have one for HTC Desire Z for 3600mAh [HLI-DesireZXL]
[Desire Accessories] michaelboruta:
Seems to me it would be best to carry around some external battery like the Energizer XP2000 or similar. It is lightweight and it adds enough juice when electric plug is not around (bus, hike, etc.).
[Desire Accessories] garagedroid:
Swapping batteries during an important call is not really an option "please hold, i will call you in a bit", sometimes even, "wait a sec i just need to find my charger" is not an option either during the call. for me extended battery seems more convinient.
[Desire Accessories] mediarz:
Well that is a little disappointing.. I don't want to carry around a second battery or charging device to use my phone.. HTC needs to get this crap sorted out..
[Desire Accessories] derarzt:
i got the external battery from choiix. its quite small and fits in everyone´s pocket.

and if your accu is empty within a call, you should change your way using your phone. i take a look on my battery while using my phone. if the battery is at 30%, the external choiix had to bleed..^^
[Desire Accessories] mascolel:
I need a new battery for my HTC. Mine isn`t lasting 24h
[Desire Accessories] okishead:
that is not quite true!!! when a person is swallowed by work, quite interesting kind of work, the person only notices battery level when he checks the time!! - "oh no its late evening already!! oh no i still havent done arrangements for the nite!! oh no the battery is uber low:eek:!!"

manufacturers shall change the way they cut costs on stock batteries and develope us an ultimate engineering solution.
[Desire Accessories] yavinmaster:
I have to admit that when I travel I carry 3 spare batteries! 2 "normal" capacity and 1 "high" capacity (and the extended back to go with it). As I can go for 36 hours between leaving and getting to a hotel to recharge and may be using the GPS a lot I need to know I have power at hand. Even back in the "old" Nokia N80 days I use to carry at least 1 spare battery. I agree that modern smart phones aren't very smart when it comes with battery performance but you do get a lot of performance compared to the "good old days". The ability to swap out batteries is for me essential though and one of the many reasons I wouldn't buy an iPhone. This is something that I think HTC have forgotten with the new "One" and Samsung could win out with the S3 because of this.

My advice - buy some cheap ebay batteries and cycle them in your phone.
[HTC Sensation] afiqq:
am using ARHD and sometimes when im playing games or just using my phone for quite some time, the battery heats up quite badly. is it normal? doesnt matter which version of ARHD bcos i experience heating up since 3.1.1 which was the first time i flashed a ROM.

i just downclocked wake max to 1.18. waiting to see it that helps.

wanna find out if theres anything else to be done.

thx.

[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
My signal strength isn't the best, coming from a droid x I'm spoiled.does anyone have a fix or know if an update will fix radio issues and 3g or 4g from dropping.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You can download and flash the latest EP1W modems here.

Also you can check out the 3g Turbocharger script here.

All the info you need is either in there or linked accordingly. Be sure to read everything in full.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
You could always try flashing the Ep1w radio and see if that helps. I personally have not had any signal issues. At home I get full service while my gf sitting next to me has to contort herself in some pretty freakish fashions to get even one bar of service on her Dinc2. I would say the stock radios are pretty good on these phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
That 3G turbocharger script will likely do nothing for the 1X/3G connection, and in reality, it does nothing for signal strength. It is meant for GSM networks, and can potentially improve you up/down data speed. The best you can hope for when using it is a faster 4G connection.

How much was it ? Because I might try to jtag it myself, but have no clue so far:rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] jzun223:
I had a completely bricked vibrant and had somebody JTAG it for me. It cost me 40 bucks but i'm pretty sure that's a lot less than what Samsung would have charged to fix it. I was out of warranty period.

If you know how to JTAG then I would give that a shot first. The phone is already bricked so I don't think you have much to lose.

In order to JTAG you need some special equipment. If you don't know how to JTAG chances are you don't have the required equipment.

EDIT: this is the link to the service I used. Just click on JTAG for the vibrant. If you purchase it 40 bucks plus 5 or so for shipping, they will send you an email with the instructions. You could even contact them before you buy.

try to odin back to stock

1. Start Odin

2. Plug USB cable into pc

3. Power off the Phone.

3. Pull the Battery.

5. Plug USB cable into Phone.

6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.

7. Re-insert the battery.

8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.

9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,

10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

Or try that same method without holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb that works for some ppl

Root your device by following these instructions

Read this post and download the TweakedSynergy ROM (3,800+ Quadrant)

Install the ROM by following these instructions

All standard functions work for me - calls, texts, email, 3G, 4G, Wi-fi, etc.

Lots of rooting goodies in ROM - backups, overclocking, tether, etc.

Have not tested other ROMs with this method.
