[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi_xman:
Dear all,

Please tell me how to calibrate sensor...??? i was using my friends galaxy mini i found it in setting---display option but didnt seen in my rom so how to calibrate it..??

I m using stock rom jp4
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
As far as I know there isn't any option for this problem

even in the system settings of the phone (the ones you can enter with different codes in the dialer)

Me to had the problem of a wrong orientation of the sensor

the only thing that helped was to put my sg3 on a flat surface schutdown and boot up sometimes more than 1 reboot was required (still on the flat surface)

if you flash a new rom the problem will probably be solved

Some apps have an option in the settings to calibrate the sensor within that app
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
Try GPS Status, it's free on the market.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
Does that app not only calibrate the sensor for the app itself or for the whole phone?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi_xman:
But galaxy mini have this option on it's setting by default..
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi_xman:
Please someone help me how to calibrate the sensor...

I have open this window on my cell but I forget either I open it through a code or it was in a rom flash..
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
I don't think you opened it by a code or in a rom flash

since this option isn't even available in the testing mode of our G3

moste likely you had gps test or something open

in some apps there is an option to calibrate the sensor but it only calibrates the sensor for that certain app :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohanshbhr:
*#0*#

Dial this code
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smonic:
Awesome
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
This is only the testmode here you can see if the sensors are working you can't calibrated the sensors this way...
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohanshbhr:
you can calibrate magnetic sensor by shaking the phone
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi_xman:
No still this not the same thing..:(
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
As far as i know the G-sensor doesn't have any kind of app or hidden settings menu for re-calibrating the sensor on our G3...

The only thing that helped me is flashing a new rom or reboot your phone a couple of times when its lying on a flat surface...
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekmishra:
You just want to do that because your friend's phone has it? "there is no need to repair what is working fine"

And most of the apps that use accelerometer as primary input give you option to calibrate it acc to your need
[Kindle Fire General] rushless:
Unless planning on only using as an ereader and web device, the less than seven gigs of total usable storage between apps and data/media storage kind of makes the device pointless.

Why bother? Especially people that dwell in these forums.
[Kindle Fire General] atoy74:
I dont know, I'm more of a "glass is half full" person. Considering the price point and Amazon's excellent return policy, I dont see the harm in getting it into your hands and deciding then.
[Kindle Fire General] Mama Luigi:
I for one do not use a huge amount of storage space. I don't keep music or movies on my phone. But the SD card is still useful for backing up my apps and data. I'm mostly concerned about how the lack of an SD card is going to impact your ability to hack stuff.

As long as I can hack the thing to run stock Android, I don't care about the lack of an SD card.
[Kindle Fire General] snokarver:
I think it's best to think of the built-in storage as cache. Amazon is trying to everything on its cloud. Books, videos, music... all stored on their cloud. When you need it, it'll cache it locally.

Same goes for backup. No need to backup to a SD card because it'll automatically be backed up to their cloud.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Err..

I think there is a certain missed point here that the author felt was going to be picked up. (Correct me if I am wrong.)

First, you can only keep AMAZON purchases in the cloud.

Second, while the processor is impressive.. they ripped out a lot of "nice" things which would have been cool to have.. I mean if it didn't have dual core 1ghz processor.. it would just be another "value tablet" or hell it would be frowned upon more than that due to the lack of bells and whistles.

So, the problem we have.. Is if you plan on doing anything besides ereading you are out of luck.. (and lets be real here.. if this was only being looked at as an ereader, it wouldn't have a forum here.)

Since you can't load whatever you want to the cloud, your stuck with 8 gigs which might be "ok" if it was *ONLY* an ereader.. However, honestly.. by the time you root it.. install the latest version of Cyanogen and possibly load a few songs on there.. most of your space is done.

Aside from that, the fact that it has no optional SD card slots may complicate the rooting/unrooting process. I would buy a Nook Color for 50$ more, because I can run CM7 from an SD card and not void my warranty since I could dual boot it. Especially if the kindle fire ends up unable to go back to stock.
[Kindle Fire General] fortunz:
Except with new nook colors on the way, the original isn't going to cost more than the fire anymore. I can imagine new condition original NCs going for $150 or less over the holidays.

The fire is a sweet tab at a nice price and I've been eagerly awaiting details all summer, but for some folks the slot is going to be important. I boot my TP2 android build from the SD card, and I like the low risk nature of it. Not sure if with a NC I would go nand or sd, but I like having the option.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Honestly for 150$ i'd probably grab the Nook Color..

unless the lenovo A1 was priced the same and had equal dev support.

I'm definitely holding off on kindle to see what else comes out... I am wondering if others are going to try to beat kindle to the punch.. or if they are going to think it is worth it..

I mean it is hard to compete if amazon takes a loss on hardware in hopes of making it up in software.
[Kindle Fire General] shadow65781:
Dwelling.......... Here.

sent from my Infuse at Tranquility Base.
[Kindle Fire General] yashmack:
Ive got a Viewsonic gTablet which has around 16GB of internal space

Ive run Cyanogen and it takes up maybe a half a gig of room, that would leave around 7GB of storage

most of the apps I use are installed on and stored on the internal parition which is around 2GB, so that leaves around 1.5GB of usable space of which my apps take up about 500MB

out of the 14GB I have on the second parition of the 16GB onboard SD card I have 9.3GB free, and its storing all my ROMs...

I use less than 5GB for storage, so 8GB seems like plenty to me for now

I wont be keeping terabytes of video and music on this tablet so it doesnt matter to me personally

even with my gtablet I use less than 8GB, I stream most everything I watch on it as well

wouldnt be any different for the Kindle Fire...

I would prefer some kind of external storage option, but thats ok, its not required
[Kindle Fire General] drumking:
A SD slot would be nice but not that big of a deal. I already have my on

pre-order. Most Rooting and Roms can be done with out a removable SD

card, the Nexus S 4g doesn't have a removable SD. I have rooted and gone

back and forth from stock to custom works just fine.
[Kindle Fire General] s0m3f00l:
Exactly.... Why would you want the ROM on the SD card? I guess its to keep stock on your phone? But I thought we were the ones that didn't care about stock and were pushing the envelope... Well I came in at Droid 1... We didnt have SD card option back then. You either voided your warranty or you did what Verizon told you too. So I ask you this... When you your own Admin on your own phone... can't you write your own Warranty?
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Er.

I will push the envelope. I have CM7 on my captivate.. The issue is I can odin to stock.

There isn't always an easy way to go back to stock. And if I'm going to get a kindle fire I am going to use it as a full on tablet.

I already have over 8 gigs in play on my phone a lone :/

I have no problem flashing, rooting or anything else. If I completely break my device and it is my fault, I'm not going to make someone else pay for my mistakes.

On the other hand, I always want a way to go back, in case of faulty hardware which does happen time to time.

So even though it isn't dual core..if your going to flash anyway.. it makes the nook color a bit more appealing.. especially since it will probably get a price drop soon :/
[Kindle Fire General] s0m3f00l:
Hey, to each his own. you know? We don't have to agree I hope the Nook works out for you brother. Personally, I am going with the fire I don't have a need to return faulty hardware and if I do I will figure it out when I do.
[Kindle Fire General] geek_riot:
Where did you get this information from? I have been searching for an answer as to whether non Amazon content can be stored and I don't see any indication that it can't be. Currently you can store non Amazon content in their cloud. I hope that holds true for the fire.
[Kindle Fire General] FootballGuru88:
A micro SD card slot would have been nice.

But for $199 I'm not going to complain. It has superior hardware compared to some of the tablets priced in that range.
[Kindle Fire General] FloridaPhil:
Dropbox will give you another 2gb cloud storage for free and you can get tons more cheaply if you need it.

Since I stream everything, I don't get what the fuss is about no SD card.

Same as the people fussing over the lack of cameras, mic, bluetooth and 3g. I have a phone to take care of those things plus I'll just use my phone's 4g wifi hotspot to get online if I need to.

The KF will be just perfect for instant on email checking, light web browsing and some book reading. For $199 it's great value.
[Kindle Fire General] loustrk:
Would a micro usb flash drive do the same thing?
[Kindle Fire General] jerrykur:
Amazon has their own storage service that they want to sell you a subscription to. Also, having no SD card makes a little more difficult to hack. No doubt Amazon watched the NC get hacked and not used to buy B&N products and want to ensure they get additional revenue for the subsidizing the cost of the Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Fire-C...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1321696462&pf_rd_i=507846

Says nothing about non amazon content. I could be wrong, really seems to me like thus far they are doing whatever they can to prevent hacking and limiting the cloud usage would be a pretty good way to do it.

Err.. I think this is subject to debate. I may be sitting around christmas going "Man wish I'd have pre-ordered earlier!" However, the Lenovo A1 is also coming out, there are probably going to be even more tablets now and they are going to be even more competitive.

Really.. the Amazon Tab is lacking. I mean I hate to invoke the name, because it seems to grant instant flame wars.. However, We crucify another brand which is very popular among the general population for these kinds of tactics.

I mean I really feel like all people are reading is "IPS screen, Dual core, 199$" which is a very compelling device.. however, it is a pretty hard sale.

dropbox won't give you anything last I checked. It requires you to have however much space you want to use on the actual device.

To me 3g is a ripoff anyway I will admit. Camera's aren't something I require on every single device I buy.. and honestly.. blue tooth is cool but not a prerequisite.

I really just think expandable storage (especially on an 8GB device) would be highly beneficial. I mean If I am wrong and you can throw whatever you want on the cloud I may reconsider.

The other issue I have.. although not a deal breaker.. is it looks like no physical buttons.. I at least want a back, home and menu.. Admittedly I have that problem with nook too but, it's w/e.

It is funny how some companies are opening up to mods more, and others are shutting them down at the same time.

Ah well..
[Kindle Fire General] BigJayDogg3:
With music, if youre a paying cloud drive member, you have unlimited space for music. I think as it stands you can still buy an album and get upgraded to the 20 gig plan.Which means you have 20 gigs of space for whatever it is you want.

Is it really? How much storage soace does the average person need? Not the person ripping in loss less, not the one ripping blue rays, but someone that rips 128 mp3s and just wants to bring them around? That is the group manufacturers need to cater to. Not us who will make virtually any device into whever we want it to be.

Dropbox for mobile doesn't work that way.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
You make some valid points sir.

Good job.

I am still going to wait, but this could be a very nice manga reader/tablet given those points.
[Kindle Fire General] pbr35586:
Cloud Drive

I have mine on pre-order. The lack of space does not really bother me at this point. I have the free 5 gig cloud drive and for $20.00 a year you get 20 gigs. My cloud drive has the following folders Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos. You can purchase more if you need it. Currently I am uploading files to it now. I understand that the usb connection can read files so side loading is a possibility. I will have to really think hard before I would try another rom. I may not want to give up Amazons Silk web browser. I rooted my Streak and have no problems. I have 8.5 gigs free on my streak. As long as I have wi-fi I should be fine. But I hope to be able to Side load apps. I wonder if I am going to need root access for that.
[Kindle Fire General] BigJayDogg3:
I can't blame you for waiting. I have mine on preorder in case I want it. I have like a month to cancel. *shrug*

if the reading I've done is correct, sideloading will be enabled. Obviously this is along side the Amazon Appstore.
[Kindle Fire General] theomni:
there is some speculation that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will be released for $250. If that is the case, I will shell the extra $50 and go that route. It will have honeycomb, 1.2 Ghz Dual Core, microSD.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Interesting discussion here. Both "sides" make some points to consider. Odd though that it's been my feeling many (not all) users on forums like this

ARE

interested in mods, hacks, ROMs, etc to further their knowledge of android, make their device personal and generally have fun!

I agree with an earlier comment that is would seem newer tabs are increasingly locked down. (Makes one wonder if the person than "missed" the uSD boot first chain on the NC is still employed by B&N? *g*) Given the NC probably was/is an anomaly, my rooted and overclocked NC does all I need it to and then some.

Storage space? With some ISP's now limiting bandwidth/speeds, the "cloud" many not turn out to all that and a bag of chips for some! Would I want to load all my "stuff" to a "cloud" for harvesting by gosh who knows for "research" purposes or checking DRM? Uh, pass. Presuming I am somewhere I can even GET a wifi connection to enjoy all my "cloud stuff".

Bottom line, I got an android device to learn and enjoy open source. If I wanted or didn't mind "closed gardens"...I'm thinking one "A" company is enough. ;)

Just my two cents. :)
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
I do like that we can have mature and logical conversations here time to time. People can openly admit they haven't thought about something and reconsider their side. Especially on an unreleased device.

With that said, I try to not think about "who may be harvesting data" on me. I have very mixed feelings about the cloud, but I just try to keep in mind that things are always able to be much worse than they are.. And I also try to keep a "how is it used" approach in mind.

Sure I don't like google tracking what I do all over the web, but I try to keep in mind they have to make money too. They do have to write the algorithms for the search engine, (a pretty big task, we seem to forget is pretty difficult and taken for granted.)

So if they find a way to give us a great product at no cost to us.. I just think of it as "a great business move" and leave it at that.

I am not saying no concern what so ever is warranted.. Just saying sometimes you have to pick your battles.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
True enough.

Probably the most valid concern I have is the bandwidth/access limiting ISPs are proposing/employing. One sees similar with the passing (or severely throttling) of "unlimited data" on cell phones. We'll all either pay much more for net access or the "cloud model" will disappear. Methinks the former stands to go into place.

The AF will be interesting to me only to see if form follows function or the reverse!
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Yeah, I am pretty worried about this who bandwidth cap issue.

The isp's really are out of their minds.. first they will sell you a certain speed, then sell you a limited amount. ect ect ect.. May as well charge me per site visited too....
[Kindle Fire General] jerrykur:
I don't see the lack of SD card as a big deal. I have an uSD on my NC and really don't use it for much beyond the occasionally movie on a plane flight. In normal day to day use I get my content via WiFi.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
uSD provides alternatives I, for one, will not be without in a device. Have always felt it's better to have something and not need it, than need it and not have it. Whenever possible that is. :)
[Kindle Fire General] FloridaPhil:
Hmmm. Personal choice as always but for the price, I don't see the downside. It's cheap enough to play with and then if something else comes out that looks better, even if you eBay it for 50% you've only lost $100.

For me, I'm not really that interested in running a hundred apps on it. It's a Kindle first and foremost, plus I can load up my email and browse the web. We have yet to see how Amazon develops services for it too - and I bet they will.
[Kindle Fire General] DarkSi08:
I've yet to use my onboard storage on my Nexus S for anything other than apps and stuff I'm about to flash. I have no need for onboard storage for music anymore, I've got all of that in 2 places on the cloud. As for movies, I don't care. I might throw a couple of them on the Fire, but I certainly don't watch anything on the phone. Besides, again, I have netflix and hulu for that anyway.
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Quite valid points! You know what you want from such a device and it would appear the AF would serve such. I confess that if a dedicated closed garden e-reader satisfied my innate curiosity.... I might well join your ranks! :)

I read quite a lot on my NC and it performs that task exceedingly well. I've also used to to learn how to use android along with Netflix and remote connections to work. So those options are nice to have.

Heckuva price point for sure. I'm positive you are quite dead-on correct about Amazon developing the platform for their content.

I do look forward to hearing how people find their AF when they get it. Right now it's all really conjecture. If you score one, report back!
[Kindle Fire General] rushless:
Ditto. My point is most folks that dwell in these forums DO use storage space for media, games and anything else they can. Most folks here will not be duped into the cloud and Amazon's half baked iTunes wannabe front. For folks that do not mind relying on the cloud and close primitive to wifi for its use, COOL! :)
[Kindle Fire General] rushless:
Probably 100% correct. If a person does not mind using a cloud and needing wifi to get media, fine. I use my tablets (Thrive and Flyer) also when not near wifi (travel), so despise the premise of this Trojan horse called Fire ;)

Data mining with a low cost investment and a captive usage model is the goal here. A microsd slot would absolutely kill the intent of their model for this device. For Apple, I can see it, but seems downright wrong for an Android device, IMO.

Added:

Alternative perspective against my obvious bias against the premise of design of the Fire:

Android devices require some level of tech learning. Compared to the Apple products, the learning curve is relatively higher for Android devices, in general.

Not saying Amazon's closed system is the ticket, but I can see strong interest in a lower cost non Apple device that is closed in, so dead simple to use. I still expect a refresh with micro sd and 16gb flash. Amazon if VERY good and consumer input and I expect the lack of the sd slot being a big complaint (IMO, of course).
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
A lot of good points here - on both sides, but I have a few thoughts.

I have always considered the lack of microSD to be a deal breaker (e.g. I have always bought Cowon v. ipod)- but I am considering getting the KF.

I didn't buy an ipad for many reasons - mainly too expensive for what it would do for me and I have ZERO interest in Apple's ecosystem.

The Kindle Fire, although lacking many extra features, has very good specs to provide a really good user experience when compared to the lower end tablets on the market.

However, this device must be looked at as a "cloud" data delivery device.

I have:

Amazon Prime - lot's of free streaming TV and Movies

Amazon MP3 - I have some music I purchased through Amazon

Kindle ebooks - I have some ebooks

Audible content - I own a lot of Audible audiobooks

additionally, it will be an amazing little device if we are able to use or find a way to use.:

Netflix

Google Music - I have my entire music collection uploaded to there cloud and I can listen to it anywhere.

and some type of secure VPN like Zumocast.

Amazon is uniquely situated to produce this tablet and have the content to back it up. While I don't think the Fire will be for everyone, I think that it will be a huge success for Amazon and hurt all other tablet manufacturers including Apple.
[Kindle Fire General] rushless:
Depends on what you are happy with :)

$100 more got me more options that I wanted to have and not being stuck on planes or on the road for hours (or in places without open wifi) with no access to cloud storage.

I bring my media with me and it fits in the footprint of the device- no extra space, just like the cloud, but closer ;)
