[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
The locked bootloader is the reason for this. That is also why you are seeing the developer migration from HTC to Samsung.

Look at the OG Droid. That thing had tons of dev support. I, for one would love to see Papa Google take webtop and use it as a launchpad for Chrome OS. That would be awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ill be honest there is 2 reasons why i am even here. 1 ACS (at teh time) didnt have anyone even planning on coming to the photon. 2nd, webtop.. it means in 3-4 years i can still have a fully functional htpc running at a very cheap electrical cost (much cheaper than my xbox 360) or browsing the web or whatever.. while in 3-4 years that brand new shiney SGS2.. will be traded in for the next hunk of plastic ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] abowlby:
I fired up webtop for the first time today and while there is a "betaness" to it I'm very impressed. I am probably going to buy a small, beautiful Samsung television to run this on and start incorporating its use more and more.

Shabby, you seem knowledgeable, maybe you could tell me...

1. Can we extend USB ports with a port expander?

2. Do you know of any printing solutions? I know Kodak won't play with Linux but I'm pretty sure HP is in, so perhaps plug and play? But if so...I don't know of any Android office suites that even have a printing option.

Also, sorry for posting off topic, but my questions are directly related to your statements.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
havent had a chance to yet, im saving up for a wedding so no money for the hd dock. but once i get it i will be enjoying webtop every day :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
amen to this....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
USB hubs are supported. I've even had 120GB ext HDD full of videos connected via a hub, granted it took forever to index but it worked.

I have a couple different printers here at work but haven't had the time to play with them yet as I'm still trying to get together a full feature set for webtop.

*now back to our regularly scheduled program
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I have the thunderbolt with sense 3.0 its neat nice little features on it and such but this phone is great on battery(thunderbolt has great life too) for a reason its simplistic and such of the matter reminds me of the nexus brand.

Also Shabby thanks for joining the photon family :D

[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
Htc's sense isn't open source last time I checked. They frown upon use on non htc devices. Download a theme, a launcher theme, wallpaper and flip clock and be done with it. Then be thankful about how much smoother and faster "Motorola's ui " is:-)

Its not they gave beautiful widgets a C&D last year for their clock and they had to redesign it

the reason i'm staying with moto...past htc to moto...its because off build quality

[TouchPad General] theusername:
I dont know if anyone else would prefer this, but I know I do. When going to certain Search websites it gives you the option to apply it to one of the "Just Type..." Search engines. Bing however does not come up as an option ever.Pretty wierd considering the TouchPad uses Bing Maps. Here is a simple work around for it though.

Go to this site in your browser: http:/crowza.com/bing

Then just wait tell you get the notifacation at the top(It take just a second), then just tap to add.

Hit the "Thanks" button and Enjoy Bing.

Green tint, blue tint, lines....etc..

My first device had problems making calls.

Second device had a white burn in mark.

Third device has a faint white horizontal line near the bottom...

Really?

I've also seen a few people complaining that they had circles burned in to the screen :eek:

Now is this a problem with OLED screens in general, or is this just a poorly made device? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the phone, but this is getting ridiculous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I've had 2 devices in the past 3 days (Best Buy wouldn't match Sam's Club tax pricing) and I haven't had an issue with the screen on either. There's the slight bluish tint when you look at an angle but nothing I'd consider an issue myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
My screen is great no lines or nothing. I think the amoled screens just intensify the colors so much people think the colors are tinted...and maybe they are...still looks amazing

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
First device from AT&T store, no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
I believe I read in the normal Galaxy SII thread that theres a screen calibration app that fixes it. I'll see if I can't find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bmxant:
Here are a couple pics showing my issue. Don't know if I should return it or not...

Not the best pics, but you should be able to see the darker center. The light part that looks like a white line goes upwards on the right side as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dlwoodjr:
I upgraded today at the local ATT store... first one had a very noticeable coloration problem in the lower right hand corner, almost in the shape of a triangle... Went back and exchanged it... Number 2 looked fine when I powered it on at the store, but now I am noticing the same lightness. I created a simple gray jpg and emailed it to myself (so I can open it using gmail and see it) and it was really bad on number 1... Number 2 barely noticeable.

I will give it a couple days, perhaps the screen will work this problem out itself... otherwise I will be going back to the ATT store for another exchange.

Don
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bmxant:
It's been a couple days, so I think I'm going to return mine. I might just hold out for the next powerful phone. I'm having trouble with data and receiving texts on this device anyways. Oh well :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nicktuso:
SGS2 from an AT&T store and it's amazing. No problems at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manbeer:
For some reason the only time I get a green tint is with auto brightness on. When its off there's no tint regardless of the brightness level
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
I actually returned my first SII to Best Buy. Had a big white triangle in the bottom left corner. Obvious when the notification shade is down. Best viewed on gray colors. Got a 2nd, had slight circles burned into the top. But they were very faint and I gave it a few days. Completely gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hyelton:
Why would it take a few days to go away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
No clue. The triangle didn't go away on the first phone. The insignificant burn in on the second one (dim dim outlines of circles at the top, probably from a testing app Samsung uses) went away after a few days. I guess the screen adjusted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Nothing but absolutely spectacular performance from my Sunday AM Best Buy purchase.

Bound to be a percent or two failed units.

Too busy finding and loading apps....

Only a single force close so far, probably me being impatient.

God I love this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
My phone seems to go dim from time to time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
It dims after some time :P touch the screen to brighten it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
Yeah I know but its dimming on and off even while being touched/used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
Might be wonky autobrightness, turn that off. Swipe your finger across the top bar to adjust brightness :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
Auto adjust screen power was on. It may have been what was causing it to dim and brighten at random.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
As a matter of fact since turning that off. It hasn't done it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
Glad it worked :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
No problems here. All screens, even LCDs, have diffictulty displaying certain image patterns perfectly. Solid dark gray images are a weak point for AMOLED screens. If you want some images that make LCDs look bad I can post some links. If you didn't discover your screen was "defective" until you did the test in the first post then you're probably fine. If you never notice slight imperfections in daily use, what's the big deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iphonedefector:
No issues here. At&t store Indiana.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Word
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] QuarkZ26:
Yeah i totally agree. People try to see defects under conditions that you never have in real life.

Like, turn this on, put a gray wallpaper, now turn all your lights off and stand on your head for half an hour and you'll see the face of Jesus on your screen.

Unless it becomes obvious during normal usage, i don't see the point... It's like going in a theater and saying "when i put my nose against the screen i see pixels"... well.. yeah?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haloruler64:
Completely agreed. All SAMOLED and SAMOLED+ have a slight degree of burn in spots. You'll almost never notice them

However, I had a really bad issue where a big triangle in the corner of my screen was washed out and brighter than everything else. Almost always visible too, in any conditions. That definitely warranted an exchange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
I see shadow when I do this.

Only 1 SGS2, non screen issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dunjon:
I glad I'm not the only one who noticed the green hue/tint in the phone when you look at it from an angle. Now that I'm noticing, it looks like the screen is too bright and there isn't enough color when you look at it directly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver03wrx:
Lol haha thanks for the laugh. And i agree
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rhyot:
I too have the lighter triangle in the bottom left of my screen. When the brightness is all the way up it's invisible to the eye, but as soon as you turn the brightness down to anything less I notice it easily when solid backgrounds are up on the screen. I first noticed it when I was using Google Maps because of it's greyish tint. I thin noticed it when the Market place loads (with a grey background). I also noticed it when I open the Netflix app. I'm debating whether this is something I want to see if I can exchange or just deal with it because in any other instance I don't notice it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrisayrer:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
I'm in the same boat. Triangle in bottom corner only noticeable on grey screens. I can't make up my mind if I want to replace it or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JaRay:
The only problem my phone has is the black spots on dark backgrounds at night issue. Its not a huge deal but I could see it pretty strongly while watching a movie on Netflix last night. Kind of distracting seeing this black spot on someone's face.

Oh, and we don't KNOW that ICS is released next week. So far it's just rumour.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParabolicBelly:
I unlocked this Rogers HTC Dream my boss gave me, so I could use it with a Virgin Mobile Canada prepaid plan (Im broke, bad credit and Virgins got a much better prepaid long distance addon than Rogers/Fido).

I want to get rid of anything to do with Rogers on this phone, and hopefully get rid of the erroneous Roaming symbol so I can actually tell if I am roaming or not.

Im only using the phone for voice and text, no data. I don't need any fancy custom stuff. A stock SPL would work fine for me, if at all possible. I dont care about rooting the phone if I dont need to...

Just want it as vanilla as possible...

Spent the last 5 hours or so researching and reading, and getting frustrated and more than a little confused. Im technically proficient, but have little experience with messing with mobile phones and none with Android.

Anybody have any advice on the easiest and least painful way I can pull this off without having to go through all the rooting rigamarole?

Here is the phones information, if it helps at all:

HBOOT: 1.33.0009

CPLD-4

RADIO: 3.22.20.17

Model Number: HTC Dream

Rimware Version: 1.5

Baseband version: 65.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17

Kernel Version: 2.6.27-9af60ed4 u70000@Android-X01 )

Is there a way to assign the power button (or any other button) to kill all apps?

And when I say kill apps, I mean:

Kill all apps

Return to home screen

Stop all audio

Turn off the screen

Basically doing all that with one button.

I need it to remain "incognito" at my work place when a manager walks into the room.
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
You could try "fast reboot" from the market. To "HIDE" it; spoof the home screen shortcut with a different icon and label using something like AnyCut.
[Android Apps and Games] locotux:
Check out "Tasker" app from the Market. It's a sophisticated tool that allows to build many scenarios of behaviour for Android devices. Maybe it can help you out.

[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Wondering what is everyone using for the AOSP launcher? I know there's Launcher2 and qHD launcher in the market, Is there anything better that actually fits properly?
[HTC Sensation] biohazard:
Well there is Launcher2 like you said along with qHD Launcher, but you could always use a REALLY good launcher off the market. Such as ADW.Launcher/ADW.Launcher EX, which I highly recommend! I have used ADW EX since it came out. But just recently I switched to the new ICS Launcher (a launcher based off the Ice Cream Sandwich leak pics) and it runs VERY smooth and I REALLY like it. It actually is a really nice launcher. But GoLauncher is also another very good launcher, along with LauncherPro, or Zeam Launcher!

I hope I have helped you out with what you were asking, if not please let me know and I would be glad to help you even futher.

If you need a market link or a xda thread link to any of the launchers I have listed, just let me know! :)

[Nook Color General] carbfrze:
Hello all,

I just rooted my nook color using the ManualNooter 4.6.16 after updating my stock ROM to 1.3. Now I am trying to run the CPU OC using the Nook Color Tweaks. I am very Noob to this but am very tech savvy.

I know that I need to flash one of Dalingrin's OC kernel's but I really have no idea where to start. And since I am new to the forum I cannot post directly in one of those existing threads yet.

Can I get a step by step instructions on this and which kernel I need to download please? I searched high and low through all of the threads and cannot figure out which kernel i need and how I flash it?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] wonderbread51:
DO A FULL BACKUP FIRST

I used Dalingrin's OC kernels found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

There's a link that says 'All kernels hosted here'. Scroll down to the 090111 folder and pick the emmc file.

Throw it onto your bootable CWM card's root directory.

Boot into CWM

Wipe cache partition

Advanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache (mine locked up completely after doing this - just reboot the unit by pressing and holding the power button until it powers off, and then turn it back on.)

Install zip from SD card, select the kernel linked above, and voila.

After that's complete, remove your bootable card and select reboot.
[Nook Color General] carbfrze:
thanks!

thanks for the directions, they worked perfectly. Now what do I do. I am able to get into the CPU settings through the Nook Color Tweaks, but I'm not sure how high I should be setting all the different CPU Stepping stages? Or is this pretty much trial and error? I've read that i can use SetCPU. Is that true or should I stick with the Nook Tweaks?
