[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martins:
Hi,

My first tablet a GT-P7500 so it's the 16Gb Wi-Fi + 3G. Not installed a sim card yet just using it on Wi-Fi at the moment. Really interested to root the device and play with some custom roms. I did this with my old HTC HD2 phone and never had any difficulties and was able to restore it to stock state before I sold it. Would like some info on where I can get the original Samsung 7500 rom for safekeeping prior to playing and also a good rooting tutorial. Much of what I have read here seems to assume some prior knowledge, of which I have none!

Pointing in the right direction to get me learning much appreciated.

Thanks

For further "hand holding" :D Don't forget to back everything up to your computer! I get a little cocky sometimes and think I'm good enough to just start flashing away only to get stuck in a bootloop locked out of recovery and without a backup of files.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjkiernan:
I was given this thunderbolt from a friend who was on gingeritits and his text messages topped so he got fed and gave me the phone. Text still do not work, I flashed liquid ginger 3.0 but want to go back to stock and start fresh.

I went through the process of downloading file,PG05IMG_2.11.605.5_no_hboot, changing the name to PG05IMG and trying to load via hboot.

What happens is it says no image or wrong image or something like that about 4 to 5 times and then nothing and just stays on the hboot page.

What do I need to do? What can I do. Am I doing something wrong?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
What is your hboot version? This will determine what method you need to use to return to stock.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjkiernan:
hboot - 1.04.2000 (PG0510000)

Radio-1.39.00.0627r

eMMC-boot

Hopefully this helps.

I currently have an Acer A500 tab, and I mainly chose this for its usb slot(best thing ever created on a tab).

However, I am looking at getting the Asus Prime because I need the Tegra 3...NOW! lol.

I hope you guys can answer my questions.

How do you like your keyboard? I want the keyboard for the usb and super battery life, but It feels like the keyboard would be trouble when you dont want it, or you want to use your tab in portrait mode. Is it an inconvenience carrying around a keyboard for "just in case I need it" situations?

Also can you turn the tab around on the keyboard and fold it so the keys are touching the back of the tab? (I dont think so but thats why I am asking).

I love my Acer and I like the Asus. Amazing tabs with there own pros and cons. But I am very interested in the prime and and help would be appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsmith01:
I love this tablet. Have had this thing for four days now and I'm very happy with it. And i love the keyboard! I actually thought about not buying the keyboard but I am so happy I did. The extra battery is so great. Can go a long time without needing to charge. You can't turn the tablet around and shut it backwards against the keys. And I have no trouble keeping the tablet handy when im not using it. I definately suggest getting this, especially now that the Prime has the Tegra 3!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Do whatever you can to see the 1015PE and similar Eee PC netbooks by ASUS. Something that made it easier to buy in to the TF101, the keyboard is virtually the same as my netbook, which was just a smidge smaller than my laptop with fn/ctrl swapped. It's as good as you are going to get without a standard keyboard.

I carry mine in a backpack, otherwise my tablet is rarely longer than arms length away and the dock a room away at best. Thus when I'm out, the worst I can get is dealing with my pack ;)

Nevver tried docking it that way but it is inconvienent to desire (or require) portrait mode with the dock. If you have a lame app like PayPal that goes Portrait Only, you pretty much can **** your head to the side or undock.

Hi im runnig stock and a few days ago i donwloaded the go launcher ex, and i have noticed a better battery life.

I just wanted to let you know so everybody can try it , let us know if it saves battery for you too!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Funny, I always did get decent battery and never understood all the complaints. If you shut down 90% of the crap (BT, WiFi, GPS, News twice a day, weather twice a day.........) I could in theory leave the house and make it home.

My problems is I listen to radio at work!
[Motorola Photon 4G] duncanbyy:
Nice find, will give a try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
It looks like you did not use the phone much that day.

I can probably get two days or more from my Photon if I am not using it :rolleyes:

Bu even when I am using it a lot, I get home at the end of a day (around 7:00 PM) with 60-70 percent battery life remaining. I think one of the keys is to used Sep CPU to low power when the screen is off.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
So being that I am soon to be a first time tablet owner, what features does ICS have over gingerbread? Is it that we won't be able to run future apps? Or is it just a new OS with new features such as cut/paste and contacts, etc?

I do realize the bootloader is locked, therefore we cannot get ICS unless it is unlocked, but it would be nice to know what we may be missing out on if the bootloader didn't get unlocked.

I just want to make sure the nook tablet won't be a paperweight in 6 months as far as no new apps being available.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
ICS

10char
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 150pilot:
Oh I have to use that. Sweet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I did google it prior to your not so helpful link, and I found features of ICS. However, the real question I was trying to get answered is will apps going forward still be compatible with the older gingerbread (2.3) OS?

From the searching I did on my own, different sites say different things. The people using this forum are more knowledgable than I about android, so I was hoping for a quick answer.

I probably could have explained that better in my OP.

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
Considering the level of fragmentation of Android, it would be a very silly move if Google was to remove legacy support. So in short, yes, they will work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mama Luigi:
ICS devices haven't even been made available yet, and even once they do, only a small percentage of the total number of Android users will get them. Most people are locked into a contract for some period of time, so it'll probably be at least a year before ICS becomes really common. Look at Gingerbread, it was released almost a year ago and a fair number of phones still don't have it, but there's no reason most apps won't work. Honeycomb was different, but that's a special case.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] iamnarada:
Errr...yes they are? They're not available in the US from carrier's, but they've already launched in the UK, and if you're willing to pay, you can get the GSM version (compatible with ATT and Tmobile, voice and 3G/HSPA+) for...just shy of $800.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mama Luigi:
Okay, limited availability then, either way it doesn't change my point that ICS will not be the most common Android version for quite a while yet. I bet lower end phones ship with Gingerbread or even Froyo for another year.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] andTab:
Tablet apps will likely not be compatible with gingerbread (eg current tablet apps are only compatible with honeycomb and newer versions of android).

If you plan on using your device as a tablet, you should NOT get the Nook Tablet.

If you are fine with an ereader (that can do some extra stuff), the tablet is ok.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I just want something ultra portible to browse the web, play some games, watch movies and do email. I don't care about cameras or bluetooth or 3g. That is why I'm thinking a nook tablet would be good for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Buy it. Try it out. If you like it, keep it. If not return it before 14 days. I heard best buy is waiving restocking fees for holiday shopping.
[General Questions and Answers] maxiordoqui:
Hi everyone? How is it goiing? Its me again, sorry for bothering.. i made a thread a week ago to receive an opinion between atrix 2 and sgs2, everyone told me that sgs2 was the best choice, the day before to buy it i found the next issues that are common in sgs2:

-Very bad Battery Life

-Overheating problem

-Yellow thint in the left superior corner in low brightness

-Green tint when white color is present and you watch it from up, left, down and right sides but its perfect looking at it straight over the display

-pink spot in the centre of the camera in white scenes and low light conditions

-blue tint in camera when night mode is on

-laggy 1080p recording in low lights conditions

-buggy stock firmware that makes the device reboot itsefl and crash.

So.. what now? I dont have much time to change it millions of times, its frustrating, i thought i found what i needed.. so now i dont know what to do.. probably i should wait with my defy until a newer device comes out, what you think?

Thanks for your time, best regards from Argentina.
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
Well if you don't want to risk it then don't.

However I will say the sgs 2 and is the best android phone you could get and most if not all of those issues are minor, you will not face or may be fixed. Cuz if they were major, I'd have returned this phone already or intentionally break it.

$1 gets you a reply
[General Questions and Answers] maxiordoqui:
Yeah i know .. i know their are minor issues, i just hate the technical services centres, they are too far and let you waiting a couple weeks.. Otherwise atrix is not officialy in my country, a seller who often travells to the usa brought many unbranded and sim free atrix origonally from at&t and it is crazy overpriced (800 dollards) and the galaxy s2 is better, cheaper because of the carrier block and 2 year official warranty. Are you experiencing some of the issues i mentioned before?
[General Questions and Answers] jsd6265:
I've been trying to decide if i should get the SGS2 recently as well, except my problem is deciding if i should wait for SGS3 or Nexus, but from extensive research on SGS2 i can tell you a couple things..

SGS2 is gonna have far better developer support

Some of the issues you're reading about may be only a few people, I've heard good results with battery life for SGS2, but remember any phone with a decent sized screen is going to suffer from poor battery life

Atrix hardware just isn't comparable and is more expensive, unless you're really attached to getting the lapdock

if there's a software issue with the SGS2 it's pretty much certain that its known and there at the very least 1 fix for it.

personally I had this debate when i got my captivate, and it took me one look at motoblur (the interface that motorola puts over stock android) for me to make my decision, i can honestly say i hate motoblur.

there are always going to be little problems with both phones, the new atrix just came out so people haven't really had time to discover ever little flaw but that doesn't mean they're not there.

SGS2 has better hardware, and personally i hate motoblur so SGS2 wins on the software side too. And SGS2 developers are incredible here on XDA so you will have access to all the tech support you could ever dream of. To me its a no brainer (unless your attached to getting the dock for the atrix).

I suggest you go to a store, play with both phones as they have quite a quite different feel to them, and just pick the one you like more, they will both work just fine I'm sure. From experience I can tell you that you'll just drive yourself crazy researching. Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] neilbantoc:
Hi there! SGS2 user here. Here's my mixed bag of complaints and thumbs up's

1. Amazing codec support. It can play almost all files that I throw at it, may it be anime in MKV format, youtube HD, HD Video projects rendered from Sony Vegas Pro, etc! It's good for on the go anime and when I need to show my video projects to others. Best of all, it has USB Mass Storage: no pesky itunes or mandatory video reformatting. Just plug and mount, copy and paste, simple.

2. Screen is a mixed bag as well. On the positive side, it's big, bright, and just looks stunning. Also, when the pixel is black, it really is black in the sense that when i am displaying white text on black background, no matter how much the brightness is set to, only the white text brightens and the black backgrounds stay the same. This is the nature of Super Amoled. But the thing with Super Amoled is, it's power-hungry. Yes, when you use black backgrounds, you save more battery because the black pixels are off. Well not really off, but almost off. The problem is that most websites and most movies are not black all the time. On the average, I can get 3 hours max of compounded screen on time per charge. Also, since Amoled is oled or organic lead, the pixels lose brightness pretty fast. Mine's about 3 months old and i can already notice some pixels that are not as bright as the others when displaying a solid color. Take note though that this is only visible IN EXTREMELY LOW BRIGHTNESS. I use an app called screen filter to lower the brightness way beyond the screen can take. Also, black crush (google it, to lazy to explain) happens when in extremely low brightness levels. Last thing, MHL is the technology the SGS2 uses for TV-out. It's actually TV-out and power in, meaning you need to plug in your charger for it to pump out video. Theoretically, this is done so that when you watch video, you can charge your phone. The thing is, the screen is so power hungry that your battery even depletes even when you are plugged in.

NOTE: I easily solved this batter problem by purchasing

1. An extra battery

2. A samsung external charger/phone stand

http://www.ebay.ph/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item19c9ec5e32

3. Yes, it gets hot especially when playing intensive games like Dungeon defenders or when watching a movie through tv-out. But hey, it's really thin, so I'm not surprised the heat can reach my hands.

4. 99.9% lag free. Really, I've never owned a phone as lag free as this, even on stock. This has got to be the speediest phone i've owned.

5. About the tints: well, I don't really experience them since i've installed a custom rom. Or maybe I don't have a trained enough eye. Overall, I like the screen.

6. I don't record 1080p video mainly because the image gets cropped. It's a hardware limitation, AFAIK. Nonetheless, I'm satisfied with 720p. Actually, since I own a DSLR, all phone videos and images look crap to me, but hey, the SGS2 images and video still look nice. AND THE FLASH IS QUITE POWERFULL TOO, very bright for night time video.

For any more questions, feel free to ask.
[General Questions and Answers] maxiordoqui:
Thats one of the reason by wich i love xda, veru fast and usefull replies thanks you guys for wasting time to help! And it really drove me crazy, searching, looking for fixes. Reviews, agh, damn, i spent the entire week deciding, even on work lol i'm a sick of mobile technology, smarthphones are my passion and i spent much time reading threads like this. So .. it heats because of hungry display and powerful processor, battery drains because of display, and of course it would be fine in 720p.. i think i'll take the risk, i cant die without trying SGS2! I'll use the entire functions before the 10 days that my carrier gives to exchange it for a new one in case of factory defects, i hope there is no issuees, wish me look!! Thanks you all! I'll notice you when i get home with it.. does the camera suffer the pink issue? Whatever, here i go sgs2
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:

previously I apologize if I am wrong opinion

I also compare between atrix, sgs2 and Optimus 2x and finally I decided to buy the Optimus 2x

please note that no single man-made is perfect, there must have been the weakness behind it

so I can only give encouragement to you in order not to regret what you buy

sgs2 also have more side than the other handhelds

you can optimize your handheld to fit your needs

you try to thread sgs2 visit there you will find all the advantages of which have been optimized sgs2

Well, Galaxy R is cheaper and has a better GPU. And its pretty decent handset.
[General Questions and Answers] svtfmook:
i have an atrix 2, and while i like the design, look and feel of the phone, and most importantly to me, the way it interacts with the car dock, i will say it has it's share of issues.

i cannot get the emails to stop syncing, even with the accounts set to fetch manually

settings menus are just confusing, you can change the same setting in 2-3 different places

even though the phone state 8gb internal memory, this is not true. it is not accessible to the user, you basically get 5gb of app storage. you are then given a 2gb sdcard to fit your pics, music, videos, lol

people are having a lot of sdcard read/write problems

apps2sd renders the sdcard useless

the camera absolutely sucks. takes forever to focus on anything, then snaps, wait... wait... wait... oh, it's blurry

even though it's not a blur phone, it has an ass-ton of blur apps running. freezing some works, but, i found that the blur and social network integration is so intertwined with system apps that you will get a lot of force closes on system apps when you freeze a lot of the services

there is a device health monitor service that runs, and runs gps 100% of the time, killing the battery. you can freeze this, but if you were like me and purchase the phone in hopes of getting away from having to hack and mod a phone to get it to run the way it was supposed to, your screwed.

the gallery app sucks

the music app sucks

you can hear yourself in call on the ear piece, which is oddly annoying

some of the atrix 2 devices have the infamous nexus s bug where the screen goes wonky sometimes while plugged in

bootloader is on lock down

there's no development happening at all

i'm actually at the point of exchanging it, i have 8 days left on my 30 day return period and i'm looking at getting the samsung focus s since there's nothing else worth having at that price point.

but don't get me wrong, not all atrix 2's are having these issues, and it is a good looking device and runs rather smoothly. the accessories, while expensive, are really cool too.
[General Questions and Answers] maxiordoqui:
Well first of all i should assume the fact that nothing is perfect, i think i'm becoming a bit perfeccionist, but hey, when we spent some money in buying something we have a too big spectation! And when we find this little issues we say, damn, i wasn't expecting that! It's not working like it should.. Thanks svtfmook for the Atrix opinion, is the first i read and i think that Motorola focuses in Elegancy of the desing and high quality hardware handsets.. Otherwise Samsung has their own processor, the exynos chipset, and focus on the display, the functionality.. whatever.. Comparing the opinions, i think i should get the Galaxy S2 and stop complaining about those little issues.. I think its fine, i can live with it.. i admit i love the way that galaxy s2 do the things faster, i saw many reviews and i said, wow! What a Phone, just like neilbantoc says, The sharp and bright display and the speedy processor are battery hungry .. I think it won't worth waiting either, o don't think that the next phones will be far different to SGS2.. on 10th december i'll go for it, i'll see it how it works and everything and i think i'll fall un love.. Thanks you all, and its a honor for me to be a member and talk with you guys in XDA, its a great forum and i apreciate your patience to explain, there's no forum like this in Argentina, i'll promise next time i will speak english a bit better, sorry haha, take care :)

I'm experiencing two weird issues since flashing IceCream Sense 1.2 (which is awesome by the way).

HTC News Widget contains no default feeds. It also does not find any feeds when searching.

At least 1 other member had an issue with this widget but fixed it upon rebooting. I'm not as lucky.
