Any one know of other external batteries with a built in USB cable, and built in AC adapter like these:

http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Pocket-Battery-SmartPhones-Black/dp/B003SE6LE4

and

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083110&p_id=6915&seq=1&format=2

Are other products like this around?

What's nice about these is there is no need to carry additional cables.

Is anyone familiar with other products similar to these?

The first semi-functional pre-alpha versions of ICS were released on the DEV forum in November. Since that board is only for development discussion I wanted to make a thread to discuss about our user experiences with those ROMs. How do you like them?

So this it the place to discuss the ROMs. Also remember to mention which ROM you tested.

Desire S ICS AOSP port

Version 4r1.2 - (11th Dec 2011)

+ Mostly working and stable

+ SW keyboard and PIN now working

+ Low mic volume possibly fixed in 4r1.2

- Camera not working

- Gallery bugs

- Poor APN list

- Poor HW acceleration

- Scandic keyboard layout not working

Andromadus ROM

Version 3 - (12th Dec 2011)

+ APN list

- Unstable and lots of bugs

- Bootloop after connecting to WiFi

- Gallery FC

- Poor HW acceleration

Andromadus bugtracker
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
I found it was semi-functional, wifi kinda worked (picked up networks but didn't connect, keyboard issues)

Hardware keyboard had issues, my 'B' key didn't work, didn't manage to get the soft keyboard up.

Accelerometer was all over the place. couldn't get it out of landscape mode.

Had a few FC's trying to access different settings.

Can't wait for a more stable build though!

[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Mate, can you rename it (or make a new thread in general) to be a bugtracker too? Like something along the lines of Post your ICS BUGS/Experiences (bugtracker).

Thanks, much appreciated, will link to this thread (:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jiia:
Did that now! Though at this point we should probably be listing things that are working instead of things that are not working :D But I will keep a list of bugs of different ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Thanks mate :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Was about to make the same thread :)

This is just for general users to talk about the ROMs.

Personally I havent switched as the bugs are still huge but the progress is looking great :) Lets hope something stable gets out soon or Janurary arrives (CM9)

BTW, can the software "buttons" for back, home, applications be disabled? We already have physical buttons for that so for us users it is pointless and just takes up screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] C.Flat:
Software buttons are disabled in the ICS roms
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
One of the videos show otherwise....
[G2 and Desire Z General] AndrewSP37:
Same experience here with the Andromadus ROM. I didn't stick with it for long, since I couldn't get data working, and I couldn't input all the required APN settings without a working keyboard and "B" key. Doesn't help when my carrier's name has a "B" right in the middle of it. :p

At least the touchscreen input was flawless. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this develops.

I didn't have any software buttons, and all four hardware buttons worked normally.

Oh sh**!!!! this si the best place for having my 10 post to be able to post on dev thread :D

I on ubuntu 10.10 with a 3.0.1 kernel

I use Vmware server to mount a virtual disk to put android stuff. So if my system broke i still got my stuff on the vritual disk

I got my proper build of ICS for vision build from Andromadus's GIT

and i use lasted pershoot kernel 2.6.35. Hardware Acceleration was allready writen and actived on this kernel, but ICS H/W-A are not optimized for all device. Cheap OpenGL hack was done in framework!

-My SD Card is monting :)

-Sensor dosen't work. So display is landscape all the time

-WI-FI is working. BUT 3G are not working!

-LiveWallpaper are broken too!

-Hardware Key ''Home, Menu, Back, Find'' are working
[G2 and Desire Z General] thomas_wlc:
That sounds very exciting! I've been doing unspeakable things to my f5 key lately..
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Sadly your thread is about a port :( But thanks anyways for the ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kekkojoker90:
for port wifi not work!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ohshootrawr:
Well, I've tried the port, and I'm pretty impressed. Has our own aosp build made any great strides forward from the alpha build?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Yes, but its still pure AOSP ;D
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Nonetheless, still a port.

And no, it isnt pure ASOP for the Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ufoman:
That Desire S port felt pretty nice... when I had the SIM removed, could not enter PIN at all. At least it shows that ICS is well worth the wait.
[Atrix 4G General] plexman:
Hi all,

I've updated my uk t-mobile atrix (locked bootloader) via rds lite with the uk retail update. Now every time I use the gps the phone reboot after 1-3 mins. This is not random as it's happened every time i have used used gps. Now the interested thing is I've managed to stop the reboots when using gps by using a different sim card from another network. When I use my giffgaff (02) sim gps reboots every time but when I use my t-mobile sim it doesn't.

Does any body have any ideas why? When I used rds lite to flash the retail update could it have flashed wrong? Could it be the new radio version? Could the hardware be faulty and the update has made it more apparent?

Also is the uk t-mobile atrix 100% the same as the uk retail handset.

Any help could be much appreciated
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Well mine was rebooting all day today. It started after applying experimental kernel ( can't remember mod name). Reverted back to cm7 stock kernel but still got reboots. I have notice that all reboots happened while I had ny phone in a pocket. Took it out and left it on table and I did not have a single reboot. I will do some more tests and see how it will behave tomorrow.

[Atrix 4G General] plexman:
I think I've sorted out my problem. I have flashed back to the older retail gb radio which I think is the same radio I was on before the update N_01.95.00R_gb_retail_29jun2011.zip

GPS has been perfect for the last hour with no reboots using my giffgaff sim. It looks likes the new radio doesn't like using giffgaff in my area or maybe it still a hardware fault that doesn't show on the older radio.

Just to confirm I did have to unlock my bootloader and install recover to flash my radio.
[Droid X General] Krunk_Kracker:

MD5 checksum

I must have downloaded this rom from Team Gummy's website a dozen times but I do not get a valid MD5 checksum - it's different every time!

I have tried firefox and ie...

Is there a mirror out there somewhere?
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
Its easier to get through rom toolbox... you need the paid version, but it is well worth the money.. go into its rom manager and download it (prob should be on wifi) it checks the download for you so no more headaches :-) then just boot into cwm wipe data, install zip, reboot and presto! liberty 3 2.0 :-) first boot can take up to 10 mins so don't freak out

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chengan:
Maybe a stupid question, but here goes:

Do you think that the Transformer Prime will support Windows 8? :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diversion:
I don't see why not.. It would have to be "hacked" to work though. .I can't see Asus allowing other OSes to be installed through the bootloader by default. The next problem is getting drivers to work with the Tegra3 and other hardware on the Prime. Even though Win8 has a ARM build in the works - hopefully Windows includes some Tegra3 drivers by default or something to make things easier on us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kanariya:
More like will windows 8 support prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
Windows8 wont be on tablets till mid 2013. NVIDIA would have gone through Kal el, Kal el+, and stark chips to be on Logan. I hope to be past the prime by that point. Windows8 is just way to late to the party. Live in the now man.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnchad14:
The current word is mid-late 2012 with tegra 3...which is why people are talking on this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
"Notebooks running Windows 8 on ARM processors rather than Intel or AMD x86 chips aren’t expected to hit the market until June 2013, insider sources have suggested, indicating Microsoft’s Windows on ARM project will lag considerably behind the mainstream build. The platform itself is tipped to go public at the end of 2012, DigiTimes‘ sources tell them, but with the first hardware not scheduled until midway through the following year, broad adoption isn’t seen until 2014 at the earliest."

http://www.slashgear.com/windows-8-arm-notebooks-and-tablets-tipped-for-mid-2013-debut-29198573/

there's always the samsung slate tablet. that thing is a beast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnchad14:
I suppose it's all rumors anyway:

http://www.techradar.com/news/mobil...8-tablet-pegged-for-june-2012-release-1041532

My perspective is we know they are testing win8 on tegra 2 and 3 tablets, both have been mentioned. Win 8 will be in a state to release early next year, and the tablet tech will be there...I believe it'll happen in 2012. I can't imagine they'd really let it take that long and lose all that market share.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXX-KP:
No you can install windows 8 in the device as extent to i know, but still i have heard that it is possible to install Ubuntu in the device.

Dear site admins and mods,

could you please add an auto-moderation option - "Dislike" button - to the forums?

It should work opposite way as "Thanks": if thread reaches some negative feedback threshold (let say, total 30 negative feedbacks), thread should be automatically closed and moved to the "junk" or "trash" forum, and OP should receive -1 to his reputation (i.e. "Thanks Meter") or may be increase some special "spam or flood" meter.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] userg2x:
hi guys,

I would like a word of advise here,

I'm looking forward to buy a tablet but after a little research I came to these 3 which I think are the best out there, please correct me if I'm wrong...

-Galaxy Tab 10.1" (wifi and 3G/4g)

-Lenovo Thinkpad (not the ideapad, wifi and 3G)

-Asus T-Prime

They are kinda close on specs, except the Prime that has bigger processor and some other stuff, I want a get the 64GB version

So I want to ask you, which one you consider the best for a heavy user?

Thank you!

I've seen them but they are way to expensive and have a lot of models, and the cheaper model, can't compete with the Asus Prime I do believe.

As for Acer company, I'm not quite convinced about them, I had their Acer AspireOne and it was crap. Among some other bad experiences from my friends that had something Acer.

Thanks for the reply!

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] userg2x:
You're absolutely right, however I posted this to have another opinion from all XDA community, since currently I only have the K Fire.

Like everybody else, I want the best device that I can afford, so for the price range Samsung, Asus and Lenovo have great options.... not mentioning the one from that fruit brand.

I have seen reviews on Amazon and eBay for Samsung and Lenovo and they both are rated high 4 to 4.7, just like that ip@d (don't know why :confused:)

I'll wait for the first reviews on the Asus Prime when it comes out :)

Thanks for the reply!

ASUS Transformers Prime, the best Android tablet as of DEC 2011. This is an easy pick if you don't mind the price tag.
[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
well, of those 3, the transformer prime is the most powerful, lightest, thinnest, best specs, best screen, ect.

the galaxy 10.1 is the best if you need 3g/4g.

lenovo thinkpad tablet is best if you need a USB port.

[General Questions and Answers] userg2x:
hi guys,

I've seen some reviews and bugs/fixes that the TF201 has, but still i think none of the issues but the wifi are real deal breakers, as for GPS I own a garmin and also a SGS2 and a G2X and I carry all of them when I travel, so I'll barely use gps function on it.

anyway I'll go and buy it tomorrow, gonna try it for a few days, if works fine I'll keep it or return it, then sell it (or keep it) for when the TF700T arrives in this June (if Asus doesn't do it again:()

Thank you everybody for all the replies they were very helpful. :)

Forgot to mention: the Prime is cheaper than the Galaxy tab by $50 :)

but as for now I need a tablet, can't wait until June (tentatively release date) =/
[General Questions and Answers] danlai:
I did have the same problem as yours, I wanted a 10.1" size series too.

Finally I have chosen 7.7. For these reasons:

- Build quality

- Samsung commitment on firmware update (and their $$ to backup their products)

- SAMOLED Screen

- The bigger tablet seems getting hot over usage, made worse for their sizes. Moreover, their are too big that somehow I prefer to get back to my Macbook air if I need the size..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdboyce:
I have been toying with the hows of switching the S 4G to Boost. Would such a switch still allow the use of alternate(and superior to Stock) ROMs ( i.e. Cyanogen).

I know that the change would have to be done with a stock ROM installed but afterwards, it'd be nice to run something a little different.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerwatt12:
switching to boost is technically a federal crime because it requires you to change your MEID so it works with Boost's network. You will also need to put out about 70-90 dollars and purchase a boost incognito. Yes, custom ROMs will work. The programming memory space is completely different from the custom ROM memory space

You're going to have to wait for a usable ICS ROM. Until the Nexus S gets ICS, there really won't be a usable HD2 version.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
Hello everybody!

So with all the hype of ICS source being released, there are a few things I think Google is overlooking BIG TIME!

Forgive me if you don't agree or don't care for that matter.

First. I am really digging the new Google Music app as well as the addition of the music store being added to the market. But my question to Google would be, why use your music store vs. ITunes on my CPU? There is no music management system for Google, which in my opinion is a huge short fall. I understand that Google is really hitting the cloud hard, but what if I don't want my new purchases or any music in the cloud? Manually dragging and dropping music files is a pain in the @ss. I guess my frustrations revolve mostly around their web based music player than the music app. Drop the web based music player and release an application. Make it easy for android users to flawlessly sync their phone with their CPU and CPU with the cloud. Make it easy to sync my music and playlists.

And dude what's up with your LAME music widget? Seriously? You make this beautiful UI, built from the ground up and you dont even have the decency to revamp your music widget... Com'on man!

Second. Again this is attention to detail, why did you not update the ui in the clock app? It doesn't match the ICS ui at all. It didn't even match with GB for that matter.

Don't get me wrong, I love android and Google but there are just a few things (IMHO) that need to really be tended to.

I guess that's all for now. :)

Good day.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I agree. Thats why I still use iTunes. Best music manager to me.

Temari x Shikamaru
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Since we're on the google music kick... anyone notice you can't make individual songs available offline in the app? You can only do artists or albums (though, I really only tried from the artist view)...

And yes, they do need to redo the widget. I'm not so interested in a standalone music player for pc, though I do see the need for better pc-android syncing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Craysh:
If you purchase the song, and you play it or make it available offline, you can listen to the local cached version.

No drag and drop, it's just there.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
I get that, and it does work well. It's the music that is not synced to the cloud has to be manually drag/drooped to the phone. There needs to be a better music management system.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
Exactly!
[HTC EVO 3D] Atoro:
Completely off-topic, but more people should know this:

CPU ≠ Computer.

The CPU is an extremely small part of a computer, it stands for Central Processing Unit, and is the brain of a computer, but again, is NOT the computer itself.

</rant>

Edit:

By the way, I completely agree with this entire post, btw. Closest I've come to an iTunes-like experience has been DoubleTwist, and has worked well for me. Give it a shot, if you like iTunes then this is the Android equivalent.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
This is Google 101 my friend..Make a product that works and pretty it up at a later date..Its been like this for years..They worry about the aesthetics later on..They are just a bunch of engineers with no eye for ease of use or appealing UI.

I'm sure they will throw a coat of paint on it in the future.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
Thanks for the clarification ;)

I have used numerous apps, including double twist. While double twist has its perks, there needs to be a native android music management system. The problem with using other music apps is that you can't utilize there cloud. And with that it's annoying having to use two separate apps to accomplish what should be done with one. It seems redundant having to download an alternative app.

Also when you purchase music from the market its automatically stored "in the cloud". But when you select to download it to your phone from the music app, where does it save it to? MIUI music can't find any of my purchased music, nor can I using a file explorer. TIA.
[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
Lol I stopped reading at Itunes on your cpu hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Holy hell, you guys using itune or apple at all, that's a sin 'round here. You get burned at the stake for that. You should be embarrassed of your sinful admition.

Jk, but really using apple products, for shame feeding the beast. All your complaints will be fixed in due time.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
Well Linux has a stand alone google music app. And everything is accessible from the browser in any OS. So I somewhat agree. I really don't know what the problem is but uploading music from a computer to google music is painfully slow. I 100% agree about the clock app and the music widget though. Everytime I set an alarm I cringe at the ugly UI lol
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Idc, iTunes is the best music app. Plus my first smartphone was an iphone

Temari x Shikamaru
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
Is like they forgot about the clock lol

All I'm trying to her across is it would be nice to have some sort of iTunes type media management system to sync music, movies, shows, ringtones etc... Until then I don't foresee Google taking over the music market. ITunes works and works well (sorry to say it) and people have been using it for years.

Sinner! Lol :)
