Bummer that all these lackluster reviews are all coming out one day too late for me to cancel my preorder. C'est la vie! Lesson learned. On the positive side, the flood of returns Amazon is likely to see may lead to an even cheaper refurbished option much sooner than expected.
[Kindle Fire General] e.mote:
The Engadget review, when read in its entirety (and not just the feel-good wrap-up), is more of a "meh" tablet whose sole saving grace is that it's cheap.
[Kindle Fire General] fishfuzz:
Wired also had a review, it was meh as well.

Personally, I found The Verge to be the most unbiased of the bunch.
[Kindle Fire General] EABonney:
I feel people are expecting to much from this device. For what it is I am hoping it will be a good device. First and foremost it is a Kindle NOT a tablet. Look at their page for the Kindle Fire. I did a search for tablet and the first mention of tablet was in the user comments, nothing at all from what Amazon has called it. Yes it uses Android but I think Amazon knows that this devices in NOT a tablet, it is a Kindle device that can do other activities such as stream music, watch videos and such.

Comparing this to full blown tablets I think is a bit much but it is what everyone is going to do because it runs Android so in must be a tablet.

For me I purchased this device because I wanted something a little larger than my Evo for reading books such. I didn't want to spend $400-500 for an eReader and the fact that I can also stream music and videos as well will be great I hope. I don't need something with all the bells and whistles and I expect that the vast majority of the public will use the device for what it was designed to do. Read books, magazines, watch some videos and listen to music. The people that are "power" users are less than 1% of the people that are going to buy this device is my guess.

For those power users I am sure someone will root this device soon enough and then you will be able to run probably whatever flavor of Android you want on it. I will reserve my "judgement" on this device until Wednesday when I get mine and have a chance to actually mess around with it. Worse case scenario is that I don't like it and I return it and maybe get something different, but at $200 if I can read books on it well enough, (better than on my Evo) then I will be happy and everything else is icing on the cake for me. :)

>I feel people are expecting to much from this device.

The Engadget review mentions functions the KF has but didn't do well, eg the bad video streaming, the klunky navigation for comic (no pinch-zoom) and text reading, the fiddly home interface, the laggy sideloaded apps, the paltry storage, etc. These are all judging the KF on its own merit, not against a higher-end tablet.
[Kindle Fire General] silentheero:
It will have those bugs ironed out before the years out I bet.

Even with that said, all the reviews claim that it is not an iPad killer, which shouldn't need to be said. It never claimed to be, and at less than half the price of the iPad, it should be a decent tablet for those who can't pay the fee to be in Apple's walled garden. Whether it is a fire or the Nook Tablet, the first thing I am doing to it is finding a vanilla rom to flash. :D I am buying for the hardware, not the skin.
[Kindle Fire General] e.mote:
>Even with that said, all the reviews claim that it is not an iPad killer, which shouldn't need to be said. It never claimed to be

That's more in response to the many pundits' predictions that the KF will be indeed that (sales-wise, at least). I think that if the KF had performed well within its limited feature set, then that may've been a reasonable assumption.

>and at less than half the price of the iPad, it should be a decent tablet for those who can't pay the fee to be in Apple's walled garden.

It's a wash. For the lower entry price, the KF is Amazon's (considerably smaller) walled garden. Most people won't root or use custom ROM.

>Whether it is a fire or the Nook Tablet, the first thing I am doing to it is finding a vanilla rom to flash. I am buying for the hardware, not the skin.

What surprised me are all the reports of laggy operations. For an OMAP 4430 running 2.3! It tells me that the Amazon custom layer is major bloatware. I do expect both the KF and NT to get CM9 support when that happens. But with custom ROM, many of the KF amenities will likely disappear, eg Amazon cloud access.

BTW, looks like ICS src is now available.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] devilcode:
Helloo

I am new here and to android, bought my first android phone ever just few days back ,i have read and spent time reading and searching stuff here and gotta say i learned a lot in just few days but there are few things i didnt quite understood...

Q1, i knw the difference between odex and deodex read here but i wana ask, what are the main benefits of deodex ? is it that we can install theams and other stuff like that on stock with it? or smething else ..

Q2: i have tried successfully coderrom and blackhawk and i was able to restore my apps data with titanium backup but i tried cyanogenmod kang rc1 and was not able to restore anything is it not possible or any particular way to restore? i wana restore my call history , messages, contact etc usuallstuff.

Q3: the clockwork backup can it be restored directly above any rom ? if i am running cyanogen or coderrom and want to go back to my old backup just in case should i just restore my old backup directly ? or i have to flash the stock first and then apply backup(this is how i did for now tho)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Q1 - yes, for themes.

Q2 - I restore my backups pretty fine. But not messages and contacts. For contacts I the google account so it automatically restores. For sms I use Go Sms Pro inbuilt function.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
And Q 3 yes, any rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] devilcode:
Thanks

havnt checked gosms pro tho but as i tried to restore dailer storage data with titanium nothing happend it did said successful tho, nor did contacts , is it because the dailer of cyanogen is different than that of stock and coderrom etc ?

is that dialer a part of touchwiz in stock roms ? if so can it be installed on cyanogenmd ? one more thing i saw cyanogen dont have task manger also tried to restore it but titanium got stuck in it nothing happned so finalyy restarted my phone...

i am back to stock for now still trying to decide wich rom should i go for
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Not sure if you guys have seen this yet but it works on our CDMA. Image quality much improved. Love the additional options and 3D picture capture works. I couldnt find another thread so if this is double post I apologize. Apk also available for non rooted phone it looks like.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302943

Igor has done great work with this port. Dont forget to thank him if you found this useful.

EDIT: Panoramic and burst doesnt seem to work but the other options are a welcome addition.

Update

0.11

1. Codec H264 is automaticaly used for 3D video recording.

2. Flash is always turned ON if flash mode is "ON" (when taking picture). It is very useful to see what you are shooting when taking picture in low light conditions.

0.10

1. Added option to set 50HZ/60HZ antibanding.

2. Removed video format selection. It doesn't needed! 3GP and MP4 are just a containers. Video encoding bitrate is the only important to reduce file size.

3. Added codec selection (H264/MPEG)

4. Enabled video encoding bitrate selection for 720p and 540p

5. Added more bitrate choices.

0.09 - removed because it always saves video into 3GP container

1. 3GP/MP4 video format selection

2. Added Camera version to Tutorial title

3. Universal flash script rewritten

4. Added autobuilder to sources in git

[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
On the thread it does say not tested so I'm not sure what the results would be and also says if you have FC issue then try the 1920x1080 version. Have you tried the other version? Unless those apk are GSM specific then that could be why they arent working on your device.

Edit: Looking at this post it seems there are libraries that also need to be modified so I think this may only work for rooted phones.

I just tested this out, everything seems to work correctly on the most recent version of 1920, except fastburst of course, but just read the post and you'll see.

As for 2048 it does indeed force close after taking a 3D picture.

Overall this does work well, i'm not sure if I like it better than stock though as of now.

Just tried this out on non rooted phone .2048 apk installs a seperate camera app .not sure what does and doesn't work coz I'm the type to just open the camera and take a snap...gotta say clarity is much better and also the picture from the front facing camera is also a lot better

i have it on my 3d...but they are still trying to work out some of the bugs.

i cant wait till its working 100%
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
Two problems:

-The highest video quality that I have to select is 1280*720 (even though I downloaded the 2048*1152 and have read people getting 1080p recording)

-When I press the button to switch to the front camera, it still does my back camera, but the picture is upside down.

Edit: Ok, for problem one I found that 1080p is only available for 3d recording. I just wish I could adjust the bps for 720 recording like you can for 1080p.

Problem 2 persists.

Totally with you on all points, that's why I'm using amaze camera on warm ROM right now. The stock camera blows. I've been terribly disappointed in it vs the og Evo camera. Hopefully the zero shutter ability gets properly ported from the amaze kernel,then we'll be in business.

[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I don't see an AOSP version. But maybe try the apk which I was told by the dev was universal for both GSM and CDMA and will add an HTC amaze camera app in your app list. So I assume it can run as a stand alone app. If it doesn't work just uninstall.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing any quality difference in these cameras. I took some test shots in 2d, 3d, camcorder, etc. I like the bitrate setting in video, but honestly the sensor is so limited. Are you sure the perceived quality difference isn't a placebo? I want to believe, but I'm not seeing it. Is there any real evidence?

[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
It's one of the modes (press top left button). But to be honest none of the HDR even on customized Evo3d stock camera takes HDR quality pictures. I don't see much difference in the Amaze HDR quality vs it's Auto mode.

I think the stock camera when you zoom in is grainy. Also in low light the Amaze compensates better and image isn't as dim as stock. Video capure in 2d or 3d is silk smooth no stutter.
[HTC EVO 3D] wencel:
Hi guys, sorry to step into this forum. Am a LG Optimus 3D user and as the HTC EVO 3D price droped rapidly (50% off) am seriously thinking to buy EVO 3D, but I've been reading many comments on bad camera quality.

So just to be sure on what i've read here - this app can improve the overall quality of stills in both 2D/3D mode and allows to shoot videos in 1080p in some good quality? Thanx to confirm.
[HTC EVO 3D] wencel:
nobody to clarify what's the situation with HTC EVO 3D and its camera? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
It's a decent camera and the Amaze camera app improves the photos. That being said I still feel it's a step down from my Evo 4g camera. It can take some decent photos, don't get me wrong, there is a thread full of great photos.

But it's not as good in low light and the focus is making a bit. Once Chad gets ZSL (zero Shutter lag) perfected in his kernel, along with his version of a fully functioning Amaze camera, things will open up more. I'm ok with the camera though, but I do wish it were a bit better, you'll get best results from manually modifying the settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
The quality is great, it's just the matter of the ZSL being absent.

We've been shafted out of a faster camera shutter driver & application.

My only gripes with HTC camera's are the wonky auto white balance & serious lack of uniform software based features across the platform.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Keep in mind that Newegg only handles the warranty for like 90 days I believe so after that there is no US warranty. You may be able to find a third party insurer but most seem to stipulate the phone has to have a US written warranty so these EU/UK phones don't qualify.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
For Square Trade....

Seeing as the warranty is still good in the UK though, wouldn't the device still technically be covered under "warranty"?

I called SquareTrade the other night and was told the same thing that I had read others post after digging into more that they will only offer warranty on a product that has a US warranty.

I don't know how the International warranty works when the device is purchased here in the US whether you can maybe send it to a Samsung service centre in the UK/EU or what. I just know that Samsung won't handle service requests in the US since it is a non-US phone.
