[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I took a close look at the HTC Rezound in the Verizon store today. The phone does have one major advantage over other phones at the moment- reading text on the HD screen is easy on the eyes.

I really like the idea of using a phone as an e-reader in a dim room while lounging or lying in bed. However, I have a distaste for anything LCD and I personally cannot stand how the backlight bleeds through. Even in very brightly lit Verizon display floor, I could see the backlight bleed. Also, like every LCD display I've seen, it is evident that your are peering at a backlight through a filter.

Another annoyance I have is that the 4 buttons on the bottom the phone have lights that shine up through the bottom of the display. Assuming that Screen Filter can disable those like I can on the Charge (which I don't notice any light shining up through), that wouldn't be a big deal.

In any case, I figure if you like to read lots of small text, the Rezound could make sense.

I have tried the Voodoo Screen Tuning and have read a lot of the text from websites and such on the Charge. I really do like the SAMOLED+ display the best compared to other displays, but I do feel that it is a bit lacking in reading fine text. It is acceptable, though.

I am really hoping the rumours are true that the Samsung Galaxy S 3 will have a SAMOLED+ HD display.

I am aware that the Galaxy Nexus will have SAMOLED HD, but it is pentile. I suspect that reading text on the Galaxy Nexus will be just fine, but I would guess that the pentile will far less than perfect rendering certain shades of gray, or red, or fine lines, etc.

I stared into the Droid Razr for quite a while and really couldn't get used the pentile. Its qHD SAMOLED, but I found it rather agitating.

Samsung, are you listening? SAMOLED+ HD and WM8994 (or better) in the GS3 please! You will have a customer if you do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SubliminalME:
My guess is that the Rezound will have ICS before The Nexus Prime.

What a great phone. Other than having buttons on the bottom rather than a slightly larger screen, I think it beats the Nexus in most ways, or at least matches it (same speed, specs, etc).

Who cares what OS comes on a phone anyway? Just root it and do with it what you will.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lodingi:
Say what? The GN releases with ICS. There is no waiting. Bad guess.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Haha! Galaxy Nexus is the FIRST Android phone to run ICS.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
What? The Galaxy Nexus LAUNCHES with ICS. That's like saying the Galaxy S was going to have GB before the Nexus S.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
id actually love to see charge and rezound prices tank so i can pick a 4g phone up off contract cheap :)

/me cant wait to see $100 charges on ebay lol

honestly one can argue the merits of this phone or that phone or this oem/carrier/skin or aosp etc til the end of time

get what ya like

aosp fan who doesnt like any oem skin? get a nexus

like touchwiz (well touchwiz4+)? wait for a sgs3 or something or keep ur charge if ur happy w/ it

like sense? research the most reliable/best htc phone and get that

like the option of aosp + and/or oem skin: buy a phone that has both up and running

like lg's touchwiz os clone or sony timescape?? get your head examined

like blur/locked bootloaders? well....ill avoid saying something nasty
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Love this post...

[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Except ics source was released so they might have cm9 before the nexus is out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
well the rezound is stuck s-on atm...no one is gonna build ics for until its unlocked
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never had an HTC phone before.. I'm assuming s-off and s-on means unlocked/locked bootloader or something? and having s-off doesn't necessarily mean rooted right or you can root without s-off? I remember jcase tweeting that the Rezound was rooted or something a while back

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
htc has different levels of security/encryption

security on, essentially/generally/confusingly means that you cannot flash unsigned files ...so no custom recoveries...however it is possible to install custom roms (iirc from reading through evo 4g stuff) but its a headache and involves scripts and programs through the computer

you can achieve root and still be s-on as well...although its generally temp root, because once you reboot the changes dont stick to the system

usually s-off by developers is achieved through either leaked unsigned eng hboot, or an exploit found that works with htc's current encryption

htc's unlock tool on htcdev.com (vzw arent supported) doesnt actually s-off the device, but rather enables *certain* unsigned things to be flashed/installed (im not positive on the particulars)

but you can isntall roms once using it
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
makes sense, shows how much I know about android lol :p sounds kinda lame, I was actually debating with myself about picking one up to play with untill the Nexus but I may just wait (don't really have the funds now anyway as I'd have to buy it off contract)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
I'm grandfathered into smartphone unlimited data on AT&T and thinking about getting an i9100. Will I just be able to move my sim card from my current Android phone into the i9100, and everything will continue as normal?

Or, because the i9100 is not recognized by AT&T, do I need to call AT&T before I move my sim card to the new phone? In other words, will AT&T's system recognize the i9100 as a "dumbphone" and automatically switch me to the dumbphone data plan? Or by default will AT&T assuming I am still using a smartphone and leave my unlimited smartphone data plan in place?

I realize that I could use the dumbphone unlimited data plan and save some money, but I do not want to do that because in the future I might switch back to an AT&T branded device, and I do not want to lose my unlimited smartphone data plan if/when I do that.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartoi:
Yes, you can just swap in your old SIM Card and your done. At&t's system cannot detect your SGS2 so all they see is your previous phone.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Good news. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakker:
I can attest to that, I swapped the SIM from my iPhone 3GS into my i9100 and I'm still on the unlimited data plan.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id10terrordfw:
Yup, verified here too. Inspire 4G to i9100.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diomed:
I was told by an AT&T rep that the iPhone communicates with Apple servers and you should call them up and have them switch you to a standard unlimited data package. I did that with my i9100, so far so good.

AT&T seems to be pretty good at allowing us to keep the unlimited data plans no matter what phone you use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
HSPA+ devices don't perform well unless using the "phone" APN, which requres a "4G" plan - AT&T has begun throttling the old wap.cingular APN.

HOWEVER: If you're on a smartphone unlimited plan, you can get grandfathered into an unlimited "4G" HSPA+ plan.

I STRONGLY suggest trying to do so in an AT&T corporate-owned store - avoid "mall kiosk" style places like the plague, and same for their telephone call centers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Thanks for all the replies. I'm actually coming over from another "4G" HSPA+ Android phone, so I am already on the "4G" plan. So I guess I should be good on AT&T's end... I'll just need to make sure the APN is correctly set up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3waygeek:
If you're already on the 4G unlimited plan (soc code HSDPPB) that should be sufficient to work with the Phone APN. If you're on the 3G plan (soc code DPPB), you may have problems connecting to the Phone APN, but should be OK with the wap.cingular APN.

If you need to upgrade to the 4G plan, you should be able to do it at a corporate-owned AT&T store, as Entropy512 suggests. That's what I did about 6 weeks ago, and had no problems.
[HTC Sensation] Bengomobile:
Hi everyone,

I have a strange problem with my Sensation. I'm not sure what spec it is.

Here is the issue.

When I go into *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Menu -> Select band

I have 3 options: EURO, AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT), USA

My provider uses 2100Mhz as 3G frequency. When I leave the setting at default i get very slow speed, less than 1Mbps if I switch it to EURO I get 6.5Mbps. Leaving it in EURO setting also kills all the 2G frequency except 900Mhz, so roaming in the USA was not possible. I had to switch the phone to USA, then it's no problem.

My question: Why can't I change the 3G band in the normal menu? Is there a way to do this? Or do I always have to go to the special menu?

Why leaving it at AUTOMATIC gets my so slow speed?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pontius Pilate:
Hi there,

I have a question regarding audio quality on Android phones. I use my EVO 4G as my primary music player, and the sound quality is not as good as my old iPod Nano or my MacBook Pro. I played the same song on all three, in each case with the EQ flat and all DSP effects bypassed, listening via Shure SE 425 earbuds. The EVO was easily the worst of the bunch. It had the lowest output, the least bass, the muddiest sound...Is that just due to the hardware being what it is, or is this dependent on the ROM/Kernel? I'm currently using Deck 1.3 as my ROM and Tiamat 3.3.7 as my Kernel.

Thanks for any info!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
Its hardware and minor rom. The evo's headphone Jack puts out 1/3 of the power of an iPod touch which makes for poor audio. Also there are some libaudio.so files that help or worsen music depending on rom. I have noticed that sense is much better than aosp in most cases. I use my evo as primary and here is how I use it (different depending on headphones)

Download poweramp (music player in market)

Go to the equalizer in app and set it to the preset called treble.

Then turn the optional tone knobs with trebel all the way and base at a little under half

Then open DSP and enable moderate bass boost and in the setting under enable the treble booster.

It makes a world of difference
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pontius Pilate:
Thanks for the tips. I forgot to mention in my post that I use PowerAmp. Good app. I was bypassing all the eq stuff there, then using DSP Manager for eq, using the Rock preset. It's ehhh. I will definitely try your settings to compare.

Interesting about the low power output, that kinda sucks. I wonder which smartphone is best for audiophiles then. I'm guessing the iPhone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
Yeah it probably is the iPhone but I have heard that certain Samsung devices have some brand off of headphone Jack that makes excellent audio. If I come across it in a thread ill point you to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bambam126:
Does the app juice defender really work on gettig your battery life up thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Yup. But it sucks the soul out of your phone to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
I had it on my old Evo 4g, and I honestly didn't see that much of an improvement in battery life. At least not enough to warrant paying for the app.
[TouchPad Development] SCWells72:
Sorry if this is already posted around here somewhere, but I found this yesterday and was surprised that I hadn't seen anything here about it:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8853-working-sod-fix-from-dalingrin/

I installed the new kernel on both of my TouchPads last night, cleared both caches and fixed permissions, and set my lower CPU speed to 192MHz (from 384MHz to help prevent SoDs previously). I wasn't using SoftLocker, so I can't comment on that.

I haven't had a single SoD yet, and I left one of the TouchPads unplugged overnight to see what the battery drain looked like with the new kernel. I'm pretty sure it drained <1% overnight, and CPU Spy shows that all that time was spent in Deep Sleep.

Obviously this isn't a long-term evaluation, but initial results look promising.

UPDATE: Some folks have reported that applying this kernel breaks sound for them. I know it's happened to some people on alpha 1 and others on alpha 2.1, and I also know it hasn't happened to others (myself included). There's quite a bit of discussion about this on the linked thread, so if it happens to you, please refer to the existing information there.
[TouchPad Development] Silenus21:
Just flashed this clearing cache, dalvik and fixing persmission.

No SoD yet but NO SOUND.

I have no sound on my touchpad.

cleaned everything and flashed the fix again but no luck.
[TouchPad Development] SCWells72:
I think that may have happened to some other folks on the rootzwiki thread. Read down a bit and see what they say. I believe some of them reflashed CM7 with the new kernel (toward the end of the thread) and that fixed the issue. Worst-case scenario, someone has uploaded a recovery zip with the original kernel so you can roll back.

For what it's worth, neither of my TouchPads lost sound, so it's definitely possible to apply this without that happening.
[TouchPad Development] mouseym:
I don't think it's been mentioned much because it isn't a common issue anymore, i've never had sod on my touchpad and a lot of people claimed alpha 2 fixed the issue.
[TouchPad Development] SCWells72:
Alpha 2 definitely didn't fix the SoD issue (otherwise why would Dalingrin have kept working on it?). I think most folks used some combination of SoftLocker and cranking up the minimum clock speed to avoid it, both of which have significant impact on battery life. Hopefully this kernel (or some subsequent iteration if this one doesn't fully address it) will give stability and good battery life, particularly when the device isn't being used.
[TouchPad Development] rhamej:
I've had the SoD on both a1 and a2. Flashed this fix. No SoD yet. Sound is still there too.
[TouchPad Development] Lolento:
according to the rootzwiki thread the fix is not allowing WIFI to go to sleep mode. This was the cause of most SODs.

You'll find in this fix that your WIFI will not turn off during sleep even if you set it to do so.
[TouchPad Development] Zukunft:
so after i installed the update it don´t save my "overclock"

i set up 1512 mhz but after reboot it´s gone and back at 1200

any idea for this?
[TouchPad Development] synapses11:
Im not sure if Im the only one. But since Alpha 2 I have yet to see SOD, was there anyone else who saw SOD vanish completely with Alpha 2?
[TouchPad Development] Tezray:
I had one sod with alpha 1 then none with alpha 2. I haven't installed any apps or changed CPU settings it just has never happened to me.
[TouchPad Development] mouseym:
Not a single SOD here, but i skipped alpha 1.
[TouchPad Development] rhamej:
After playing with it for a while, no SoD, but now I'm having wifi issues. Won't stay connected. Did a restore back. Now no wifi issues, but as soon as it goes to sleep, it wont wake up. Uggh. Can't wait till this gets stable. Getting bored of webos.
[TouchPad Development] SubVirus:
I get Sod all the time. I put my cpu to 648mhz and it still does it. I even put it up to 1500 min 1700max and it did it. I'll edit this post to see if flashing works. Im charging my touchpad at the moment.

EDIT: flashed. So far no SOD but its a little too soon to tell. We'll see what a few hours does.

EDIT: I seem to have all functionality and I have not SODed yet. Looks good so far :)
[TouchPad Development] vvskiies:
Same here, i started on Alpha 2.1

i think the problem is alpha 1 related

im guessing a clean wipe will fix the problem...
[TouchPad Development] Joker Fuel:
I had sod from hell.. I just kept it on the touch stone to keep it awake in between.

This fix worked though. Whole day without death
[TouchPad Development] chrischoi:
Try No-Frills from Market. He's on here too. No SoD for me. It has some feature that prevents it.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
Alpha 2.1 was already out by the time I got my touchpad, only had 2 SOD on it prior to installing this patch and none since. Currently I am using No Frills CPU with 192 min and 1512 max I think. Running great and no other issues to speak of. Sound is working fine and this has not impacted my battery life at all, may even be better.
[TouchPad Development] cpittman:
Op should be updated to state that this kernel breaks sound on alpha1. Make sure you are on alpha2 before flashing.I posted both a revert and a repackaged alpha2 with the fix already applied in the thread on rootz.
[TouchPad Development] SCWells72:
I just updated my original post in this thread with a disclaimer about the sound issue. I think it's also affected some alpha 2/2.1 folks, so basically I'm just making sure folks know about it and know to consult the original thread for information about how to resolve it.
[TouchPad Development] cpittman:
Ya I'm not sure what the common thread is with no sound then. I only experienced it in relation to alpha1.
[TouchPad Development] hitekredneck:
If you read through the thread a bit more thoroughly you will see that Dalingrin stated that the wifi sleep has been disabled since the beginning, not just in this fix. You can always get a wifi toggle widget and toggle it off before pressing the power button to put it to sleep. And it states nowhere that the wifi sleeping was causing the SOD problem.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

If you are having wifi issues (disconnects) you can reset your wifi adapter by going into terminal emulator and typing the following commands:

su then hit enter

rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot and hit enter once more

This will reset your wifi adapter and reboot the tablet. Once it reboots, give it a few minutes to settle in and then try connecting to wifi. You will have to re-enter your network key after doing this as it wipes all history of connections when you reset it.

Also, this is something that you may have to do on a periodic basis so write it down or print it out. you'll be glad that you did. I have only had to do it once so far, but have been told that it may start acting up again in a few days more or less.
[TouchPad Development] jimmysalvo:
Hi,

Had wifi issues. After removing uberkernel, and it seems to be gone!

It may be my impression but I do not have any problem now.

Ciao

EDIT:

Wifi issue back again
[TouchPad Development] hitekredneck:
Please refer to he post directly before yours for a wifi fix.
[TouchPad Development] graffix31:
Was having sod issues on and of f since first install of 2.1 after this been over a well with none. Thanks so much. Wifi has been perfect.
[TouchPad Development] thepza:
SOD is when the device won't wake up or turn on by simply holding down the power button, correct?

If that's the definition then I've got it bad. My Touchpad can only be turned on by holding down Power and Home for 15-20 seconds. Additionally, as of late when it goes to sleep I have to hold down Power and Home to wake it up.

I'm on Alpha 2.1 and have never installed any earlier versions of CM on the device.

I've got my Wi-Fi settings set to Never sleep (I'd heard that may help with some cases of SOD), too.

As long as it consistently turns on with Power+Home, I'm fine with it, but it is annoying. I'd rather do that than lose sound as has been mentioned here as a problem with this latest fix.

EDIT: Installed Alpha 3 earlier today and have no yet had any SOD...any the TP wakes up just fine by tapping Power.

This is a link to another site. Very nice ROM worth a look. The OP on the other site indicated posting a link to that site is acceptable.

I've been using it for several days with only a few minor hiccups. Very smooth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangeezy12:
can we get screenshots?>
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pottyvick:
What where the hiccups?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
If you like Swype it isn't installed.

WiFi calling was missing by there is a zip in the thread.

The only one I haven't been able to work around is bluetooth fc on pairing.

Screen shots don't do it justice as it is how you configure your home screen. But it is quick and I love the animations. No freezes or black screens....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 96traxx:
It has the LG Froyo cam, major plus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
It does? AWESOME!!! Gotta try this :)

Oh its based on stock 2.3.3. Not really a fan of 2.3.3, but worth a shot anyway :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] es0tericcha0s:
I do like this rom, as I have used it before. The wifi calling zip in the thread was actually posted by myself. However, this rom has already been linked to this forum not too long ago and it was already closed. Wouldn't expect this one to stay open too long... If nothing else, I believe they think this would be considered the wrong forum to post this in since it is not your work and this is the Development forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I believe the dev for this rom didn't post it on this site for a reason, so it's rude to post it here without their permission. People already know where to grab this rom from if they so choose to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
Front camera sucks as usual

First random reboot...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I don't understand why everyone loves the LG cam. It doesn't have as much options as CM cam and lags a bit more. And of course the FFC is bugged.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
Ok, got back to my CM7.1.0.1 now. After a manual reboot, it doesn't go back on again. Weird!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Love the theme!

But not the lack of custom features. I require notification toggles at least. There are 3rd party addons in the market to include this feature but they don't work as well as built-in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Well people who care much more about the quality like the LG cam. The visible differences are extremely noticeable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
LG camera has digital image stabilization that does a very decent job, as far as I have seen, none of the other for sale packages offer this.

I am not talking about a sensor that waits to take the picture when it thinks things are stable, but a computed digital solution.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] the_scotsman:
Moved this to General. Doesn't belong in the Dev forum as it's only a link to another site.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javinito:
Hey do u know how to get more pics like the one axura has that black and some color chick I just wanted more pics like that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Define extremely noticeable. I tried both cameras.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bmann_420:
Well if you don't notice a difference, that's no biggie for you though =) but with the cm7 cam, they do not look as detailed or as clear at all. Its most definable when I look at the pictures I took with froyo (or the lg cam port on 3.3) then look at the current pictures. My wife even pointed it out after looking at pictures on the computer. Their are some definite factual differences like fps or resolution when moving, but I can't say the exact terms off the top of my head. Sorry for the late reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sader2202:
As of now I've own my E4gT for about 2 months now and from day one I, I've rooted and flashed several rom. I want to know, as a proud owner of a E4gT. What is your favorite rom and why? For me it would have to be a fusion of Stock Deodex rom and StarBurst rom. That's right I combine the beautiful theme of stock with the smoothness of StarBurst. Please tell me about you and post some pics.
