If it's just a toy, go for something on the cheap end.

Amazon Kindle Fire could be a good choice, but it doesn't offer expandable memory and some other features.

I got myself a Barnes and Noble Nook Color for $150...I wasn't gonna let myself spend much on it, because like yourself, it was just a toy for me. I got a 16 GB uSD card and put CM7 on there and it works great.

I tried Galaxy Tab 10.1 on monday and it let me somehow desperated. It's not that quick and smooth as I expected. Could be faulty it was test model at shop and anyone touch it and make changes in settings, installing apps and so one?
[General Questions and Answers] ajnindlo:
If a toy, go cheap... I started with the nook color. I now have the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, and I love it. Awesome.

As for responsive, well the first batch was a little laggy. Even in benchmarks they would get around 1500. I know since I tested a store model. The most recent are much better and get over 2000 in the same benchmark. Just look for the Samsung logo on the front glass. And older version, just get task650 In Paris rom. And if you want, you can over clock from 1000 to 1400, but I haven't had to.

My wife wants the Zoom and wow has the price came down on that!

I've been looking at cheap tablets (gtablet, Viewbook, Ideapad, Nook Color, and many more. I just wonder if my toy will not become more. My dear wife would not mind if I got a Xoom for both of us. Even checked out some of the higher priced tablets. I played with the gtablet, transformer, and the thrive at Office Depot.

I,d love the thrive but the charger seems a little much. The transformer was cool and I do have a little laptop called the Asus 900HA that has served me faithfully for three years now. I don't like the idea of non-user battery replacement as I tend to keep my gadgets longer now. Thanks all!

I think I have narrowed it down to the Zoom or Thrive. I like so much about the Thrive that I can live with the power brick. Even read some about the Zoom Family at Best Buy.

I am curious to see how the Fire will work out.. I am sure it will be hacked and rooted and what not soon after it comes out.. Could be a good cheap tablet. I wish the screen was just a little bit bigger though.
[General Questions and Answers] chmcke01:
My wife wants one...

I posted this in another thread, but it was much longer and worry nobody will see it so I will post it here too:

My wife has a 3 or 4 year old laptop and probably hasn't been turned on in months because "its too much of a hassle" to use it. She used to like playing Flash games all the time on the laptop but since we got iPhone 4's a little over a year ago she has just used her iPhone 4 for almost all of her internet needs.

Recently she has expressed interest in getting a tablet for Christmas because it is less cumbersome than a laptop but also significantly easier to read than the small screen on the iPhone 4.

We first looked at the iPad 2 but she really wants to be able to watch Flash videos and more importantly, play Flash games.

What is the best tablet under $600 that fits the bill for this? Also, what is the cheapest tablet that will suit our needs? Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give.

Tablets on Honeycomb is rubbish IMHO.

I think Google rushed out Honeycomb just to get a share of the huge tablet market. From a business perspective, don't blame them and good on ya, Google! From a customer perspective, it's absolutely **** to be stuck with Honeycomb!

If you don't want an Ipad 2 right now (or not interested in Apple's products at all), then I would wait for Google next mobile OS - dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich - to hit the scene. We'll see, then, how Google OS will really compete with Apple's...

Thinking about doing the same

I can get a refurbished Nook Color from B&N for $140, then spend $20 on an SD card and I am good to go! Thinking hard about doing this. Does anyone know if they keep those in stock or if the price will go up or they will run out if I wait? I would like to wait until closer to Christmas and maybe get one for each of us!

Hey i am trying to flash RoyalGinger 3.0 to my phone but i cant download it from the link provided it takes me to a site that says "This site has been suspended". Please help!!!
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
from what i've noticed

it happens when closing the keyboard under certain circumstances

possibly only during sms messaging

i was able to duplicate a reboot sending/receiving a couple messages today

i had just received messages and then closed the keyboard

immediately i noticed the samsung logo

just seeing if this strikes anyone else's memory as being the point of occurrence

this was with eh17 and mkasick kernel

i have also seen one random reboot with my phone just sitting there

that was eh17 with eh17plus kernel from chris41g

but i also got the sms keyboard close reboot then as well at least once

i posted a kmsg for mkasick but he didn't see anything

just hoping to document the occurrences to help narrow in on the exact issue.

save the whining for another thread...thanks

i have a lot of bloat removed.

launcher pro

no animations

2 minute screen timeout with keyboard set to same as screen

auto rotate off in both settings and launcherpro

stock sms app

Sounds more like you have a loose battery. Random reboots occur in GB leaks when phone is sitting idle. It was found to be a voltage and deep sleep transition during partial wakes that was causing it. The fix was posted in this forum using Tegrak and SetCPU combination.
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
+1

Here's what works for my phone:

SetCPU

OnDemand 100mhz/1000mhz

Screen Off: 100mhz/200mhz

Tegrak (Make sure you buy it for the newest version.)

OnDemand 100mhz/1000mhz

100mhz @ 1000mV

200mhz @ 1025mV

Edit:

If it is a loose battery, you can always jam some cardboard back there to make sure. I can't remember where the link is to the SetCPU/Tegrak, so I just posted my own settings for ease. It does seem to vary per phone, just like overclocking/undervolting, so a bit more reading/tinkering might be required.
[Epic 4G General] epic4grooted:
my reboot issues happened a lil over 2 minutes into a phone call on every rom I tried so I went back to eg22
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The fix for reboots is a page or 2 down here in General called "Possible fix for random reboots"
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Also running "stock" EH17 with the mkasick compiled kernel, and haven't had any reboots in the last 4 days. I use the keyboard to send sms many times without problem. Sounds like a mechanical problem to me. I've heard other people with loose batteries or worn battery contacts have exactly the same issue. Try wedging a thin piece of cardboard into the space along the bottom of the battery and see if the problem goes away.
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
definitely a loose battery

i'm dumb

i'm running the 3000mah with extended door

i just set it down with a bit of extra force and yep reboot

didnt know there was a fix for the random reboot.. i have 2 try that out its funny that it doesnt happen while plugged in
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It doesn't happen while plugged in because it runs constantly at 100 Mhz and does not go into deep sleep. That is how we narrowed down the issue in that other thread and added the screen off profile to SetCPU.

I fixed my loose battery by sliding a half credit card ... Actually an old Kroger card... In the back of the phone. Tighter and zero reboots. Specific to the battery anyway. Cm7 does not reboot.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
For me at least, the mkasick compiled kernel on EH17 doesn't reboot either. With the standard kernel it rebooted within a half hour of install.
[Epic 4G General] NissanNick:
is there a way to encryption my sd card for my phone? I would like to have to not worry about it if i loose it. I know this would make my phone slower. Any way to do this?
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
Not that I'm aware of. I believe that encryption would have to be built into the OS itself considering how many different parts of Android access it, and I am not aware of any such capabilities (beyond the encrypted apps installed to the SD card, that is).
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
No way to encrypt certain folders even?

[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
You could make a loopback file, store stuff in it, and unmount it. Most people don't know what that even is, so you'd be safe from 99.9 percent of the population. It'd be like a truecrypt volume without the encryption, but you still have to know how to get to it.

Open terminal emulator and type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/files.ext4 bs=1024 count=50

That makes a file that is 50kb. If you want more, increase the count.

Now you need a linux box. On that get your sd card mounted and open a terminal emulator at it. Then run

mkfs.ext4 files.ext4

When it asks to continue, say yes.

Now you have the file. Open up a terminal emulator on the phone and type

mkdir /sdcard/files
mount -o loop /sdcard/files.ext4 /sdcard/files

And it should work. Every time you reboot you have do this to get it back

mount -o loop /sdcard/files.ext4 /sdcard/files

I think you need to have ext4, but I don't know.

[edit] if it doesn't work, you may have to type

This is the stock 2.08.651.2 ROM from the RUU with the 2.08.651.3 update applied. All files in /system were updated and the new kernel is included (only changes in ramdisk from what I've read). Root, busybox, and bash have been added using dsixda's kitchen. Both odex and deodex versions are available. The only thing this ROM does not include from the update is the recovery.img.

If you are HBOOT 1.50 and HTC unlocked/S-On, you may have to flash the kernel differently and/or remove it from the .zip.

Post if there are any problems and make a backup before you flash if you're worried ;). I was surprised no one had done this yet and thought this might help some people until the RUU gets released.

Thanks. how will this different with freeza update kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
This is the stock 2.08.651.3 kernel. I don't know what freeza did to his, but I read his post saying the kernel source (zImage) hasn't changed. The only changes were in the ramdisk and probably related to the CIQ/tracking thing. That kernel and any using koush's anykernel updater script will work fine with this ROM and leave the ramdisk intact. This rom will get you updated to the latest official rom without worrying about having to re-flash a custom recovery.

[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
This is just a .zip you flash with a custom recovery (like any other ROM here). I just mentioned the RUU in my first post to explain how I made the ROM.

This only contains the changes that HTC made. I assume they fixed any of the security holes that TrevE pointed out. I don't think all of the tracking is bad. If you follow the suggestions by TrevE to remove all 'tracking', you end up killing things like the 'Favorites' function of the stock app drawer. That function obviously keeps track what apps you open and how frequently, but it can't work otherwise (and I doubt it gets sent off to HTC, especially if you opt-out of TellHTC).

How do I know if I need the Odexed or Deodexed version?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
both zips say it in the name. also, if you already downloaded either, you can look into the zip and check system/app and see if theres any odex files. if there is, then its obviously odexed.

Edit: I read it wrong. Sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
You can use either version. Stock roms are odexed, while many custom roms are deodexed because it is easier to theme/mod. Deodex may have a longer startup time on first boot after a flash, but there is not really a huge difference between the two. You can google for more information if you're interested.
[HTC EVO 3D] c4inam2n:
Ok this might be a dumb question, Im on CleanRom2.2 and im using freeza's kernal, how much of a difference is there between the Fix that HTC rolled out compared to what freeza did with his kernal (It's been modified to remove cIQ (Carrier IQ) backend/frontend/misc from the kernel) and the CleanRom Version of the stock 2.08.651.2 ROM? Just trying to see if i need to flash this or stuck to what im running already.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Well, approximately 224 files (that's how many changed compared to my own custom ROM, so it may be off compared to a true stock 2.08.651.2 ROM) are patched/modified in /system and a few logging app's that are deleted. This is in addition to the changed in the ramdisk inside of boot.img (which is what you have using freeza's modified kernel). I'm sure Scott and other cooks will be updating their roms. You just have to re-do all of the mods using the new/patched app's in the 2.08.651.3 ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] c4inam2n:
Ok makes more sense to me now, thx for the quick response!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Thanks for posting this bud. I'm with you on the tracking stuff, esp when we started seeing reports of people losing functions from the removal of the "tracking" stuff. I'm all for tracking stuff to help better guage customers use habits and help them better address those needs/wants, as long as there is a proper opt out thing. I would also think they now have the info secure as opposed to just there where any app with internet privalages could access the info and send it out.

id much rather the devs start leaving ths stuff all in there and then just having a zip to flash and remove the tracking stuff if ppl want it out and they are all paranoid about it.
