It would be a PR disaster for them if they came out with a phone like that and didn't allow for an upgrade path. We'll get ICS on it soon enough.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zemorg:
umm whats ICS? lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qaz2453:
Ice cream sandwich... aka android 4.0
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sjael:
This is it^

You sure could, however it's already a standard function of most EMR styli.

Basically, the screen has some coils under it that when turned on power the pen by induction. They then switch off and the pen generates it's own magnetic field that makes a current in the coils, and a little processor calculates the pen's position (very accurately, orders of magnitude moreso than a capacitive digitizer) by which coils get lit-up. The pen can also send information like button presses, pressure, tilt and angle at the same time. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
Also don't forget; ICS has support for pressure sensitive screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kevincod:
It's already confirmed by samsung Italy that it will receive ICS, so I don't see why we are discussing/arguing about it anyway!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gede:
Just because some blogger posted this? (And everyone is re-posting this?)

Where is the official Samsung announcement?

Anybody figure out how to remove the clock or should i just try this?

[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Really interesting...i like having the small clock there versus having a large clock on the home page..too much room and doesn't look very clean...however, thats pretty sweet that it can be done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Make sure you are deodexed before doing this. The Atrix runs a different version of Motoblur than the Photon does so make sure you have backed up as there is a not so small chance it will screw up your phone.

Let us know if it works though (if you decide to try it).
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
If you get rid of the systemui.apk you'll get rid of the clock.....and your whole notification bar :p

Good luck with the baksmali edits gives me cold chills lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
+100 to no notification bar!!! Hahahaha. I wouldn't do that. And I agree, the big clock on the home screen is ugly, so I do prefer the one in the notification bar.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheBundo:
I would actually like to remove the battery icon next to the clock, as I use a different (better) program and don't need two of them. There was an easy way on the old Evo. Anyone figured that out yet? If so, is rooted enough, or have to be unlocked?

I've had more bugs and issues in iOS5 on my iPhone 4 than any other update before it. It has caused me to feel like Apple is losing control of the quality of iOS. I can imagine the BL issue of the iPhone 4S would be sloppily patched together now that the force of S.J. is gone. At least iOS5, which was initially very impressive, seems hacked together.
[Off-topic] upichie:
Or, more likely, you are the victim of bugs because you didn't upgrade to an iPhone 4S. This is Apple, after all. :D

On a serious note, this is unfortunate. Apple is known for 'just working', and battery life has always been a selling point for Apple. Hopefully they fix this up soon.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Believe it or not, that could well be true about Apple low-grading the iOS5 update.

A long time ago, when I had my first iPhone...the original one...the battery life was horrendous. Apple put out updates all the time and I remember one update that seemed to greatly improve the BL. Then Apple started talking about fixing the BL of the iPhone in an upcoming update and all of a sudden, not long before the update came out, the BL started falling off and became horrendous again. Then the update came along and fixed it.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
The 4s is suffering from the issue because of the newsstand app. If you put the newsstand app in a folder it's rather smooth.
[Off-topic] ph00ny:
I keep hearing this "just working" phrase but apple products have had a lot issues just like everyone else
[Off-topic] upichie:
Is this true? You should probably start telling people, since you've uncovered the solution to a massive problem for iPhone users. Of course, only if it's the truth—which is really hard to tell with you.

I couldn't agree with you more. I just figured that major news articles are being written about various bugs or inherent flaws with Apple's iOS, which may sway the opinion of people. Of course, that was purely optimistic. We all know Apples' fans are incomprehensibly loyal.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
I thought it was public knowledge. Read it on a tech blog 2 days after I got my iPhone 4s. Just put the newsstand app in a folder and your battery life will drastically increase. Never had a reason to lie, still don't.
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Actually iOS has always been super reliable and high-quality. With iOS5, it has changed. The issues aren't severe, but they are present.

And I have the Newstand app on mine, it comes with iOS5 as well as on the iPhone 4S. I never experienced any BL issues with the app out in the open. I did move it to a folder, through the little trick I read about, but the BL hasn't changed. And the BL before and after the update on my iPhone 4 has been and purely is outstanding.

Do you not realise that charging time depends on battery capacity and the current the power supply is able to provide the phone for charging and has nothing to do with the OS?
[Off-topic] jasecloud4:
I would have to disagree. That's a rather hasty generalization.

iPhone is great for people who like a simple, basic function OS with minimal customization.

Android is for power users who like to take customizations to the next level, and don't mind the glitches of being on the bleeding edge.

They're both great for who they're marketed to. To say the iPhone is better than any Android phone is a fallacy. Hardware wise there are many Android phones that put the iPhone's numbers to shame. However, the growth of the iPhone also proves that spec's are not always the most crucial thing.

In short, both are great for who they target. To say one is better than the other is really just an opinion.

Hey guys! So I'm trying to look for a good laptop, but I'm on a tight budget right now. I just want to get the best laptop out of my money which is $700. I'm not really expert when it comes to buying computers.

I prefer 14" screen because I'm going to bring it everyday to school, so portability is really important. I might do a little gaming on it but I'm going to use it mostly for programming.

Here is an HP laptop that I've seen with good reviews. It has an I5 processor which I believe is good, and it also has 6GB of ram. But what about the graphics?

http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-d...ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1319610557&sr=1-1

This one is from Samsung's website, it's a little more expensive.

http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP300V4A-A02US

Any other suggestions?

Noooo! Not the pavilon! Dx They NEVER agree with Linux. Or at least my friend's laptop did. :p

With $700 you could get an awfully decent laptop. :) I suggest searching new egg for some good deals.

Whatever you do, get an HP laptop. They are the best. My extensive experience has shown that. I've had more trouble with Acer, Toshiba and others than I ever had with HP laptops.

hey everyone,

so this is actually for my girlfriends g2 and i haven't seen it in person yet, i'll see it tonight, but i figured i'd throw some feelers out there...

her g2, whenever she goes into the text messaging app, the whole screen except the top 1/4 (so she can see the status bar, the create new message, and the most recent text conversation). she's NOT rooted, totally stock and never upgraded to gingerbread. so the notification that she should upgrade has been popping up so she finally went ahead and let it upgrade today while she was at work and it seemed to all go fine she says but now that its rebooted and upgraded, the text message app is still exactly the same issue.

like i said i haven't seen it myself. any ideas? first things first is i was probably going to go in and force close the app. if that doesn't help i'm going to start clearing out her texts (who knows when the last time she cleared them out was). after that... not sure. any other ideas?

thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karakoram2:
This seems to be a common problem. I googled it and found others with that same problem. Didn't see any fixes, though. Try a third party texting app. Otherwise you may need to replace the screen. Could try rooting and flashing a custom rom as well.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey guys, yesterday I tried flashing my phone to the PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3) gingerbread rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242747). Flashed with Odin 3 v1.85, flash ran fine and phone booted fine. However once I tried to connect my phone again to my computer I noticed it was unable to stay connected it keeps rediscovering the device. When I plug it into a changer it will charge, but toggles between charging and not charging as long as it is plug in. Thinking that is was a problem with the rom I downloaded a new rom through CWM but when I tried to load it through recovery mode I received the following error: E:failed to verify whole-file signature.

Not at all in fact I think the screen is near perfect in size for a tablet. My preference for screen has been Ipad's "square" type screen and Sony's smaller screen vs 10.1. I imagine Samsung's 8.9 would be similar too.

You can use whatever launcher you like.

As a seriously early iPad adopter (3 days after USA launch) and a Touchpad owner (STILL the classiest hardware but too heavy) I can honestly say I had not even thought about this until your question here, that answers it I think. there was a lot made of the less vivid colours on the Sony screen but I much prefer the natural colouration.
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
Just spent some time comparing the Sony to the ipad acer and galaxy.

You don't notice the screen size difference as that number of pixels is the same. The same information is shown on screen just slightly smaller.

If you've got particularly fat fingers :) typing may be an issue but I found the keyboard more responsive and easier to use than the ipad 2, in other words the slightly smaller size was not an issue for me.

[Samsung Galaxy 551 Callisto] killys:
Hello,

My GT-i5510 (aka Galaxy 551) is stuck in boot loop (or black screen depending on the ROM), and I'd need some piece of advice to fix it if it is possible.

I am not exactly sure what happened, I had my phone connected w/ adb shell, and I was either doing nothing (except I changed to some of the root FS'es) or I was dumping one of the mmcblk FS on the SD card (it might have happened when it broke, or it is something I did before, not when it broke). I can't exactly remember as I was actually browsing the internet when all of a sudden I noticed the screen of my phone was blinking.

So the situation is as follows:

When phone boots, I can see the white Samsung logo (on black background), and it blinks every 5-10 s. In short it is stuck in boot-loop.

I can access the download mode and emergency download mode

I can't access the recovery mode (when trying to access it, it goes to same boot-loop)

I have re-flashed latest ROM (Gingerbread) with Odin, but does not change

I have flashed older ROM (Froyo) with Odin, but it does not resolve the problem; only difference is that I have black-screen as part of the boot-loop (no white Samsung logo of any sort)

If connected by USB, the screen somehow blinks but I don't have Samsung logo

I have tried to flash with Odin with some of the Debug options, but without success:

I didn't tried the Phone EFS Clear, though as I thought it could cause further damage

I couldn't really try the "PDA Format" option as it actually crashes Odin (I am using v4.34)

Any idea what I can do?

Thanks!

Hi,

Mine is a Samsung Ace, but apart from that, your situation is exactly like mine! Black blink, boot loop, have download mode, but flashing with odin didn't solve anything :(

Bricked B5510 Galaxy y pro can't enter recovery or download mode

Hi,

I can't enter recovery or download mode. After rooting (I do know how to enter download and recovery) I found this tool that could remove system applications. I used another tool to back everyting up.

Thinking I could always put the backup back, if someting went wrong. I uninstalled the dialer and other stuf/bloathware that I already had in Go Launcher EX (I like Go Launcher EX).

It did not work, but when I tried to put the backup back, THEN :D it warned me this could not always be done for system apps. (Little late!!)

So I can not enter recovery and download mode.

I think I know why, I am a windows programmer;

I have a Samsung account registered on my phone. (Used to recover phone when stolen)

Unfortunate I cannot remove that account from the phone. I do know the password, but the phone needs to connect to check that password or someting and it can't anymore) Strange since I have Wifi and that still works. I can't call, I can't SMS I cant remove my samsung account, but I can browse the web with my phone!

Damn how can I fix my phone just bought it!
