Good stuff...thanks..

I would love to hear from anyone else regarding this also ;)

Just looking for a small discussion about this...cuz I don't really know the difference ...

And yes im gonna google it and Rey to find info lol....not being lazy...just curious what y'all experience is wit this :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
I've found jpeg is the way to go simply because of compatibility. Most forums don't support png uploads and that's the most common place you'll likely be uploading a screenshot.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah that's why I been using jpeg. Easier to upload.

I did notice b4 when I had taken png I forget where it was wouldn't let me upload, I just renamed the .png to .jpeg and it worked lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Well, it's always been my experience that png files are larger than jpg files. By quite a bit too. If I take a raw image taken with my camera and save it in both formats, the difference is huge. The raw image itself will be in the neighborhood of 10.5 megabytes, the png, 9.5 and the jpg 3.5. The size differences aren't all that drastic with smaller images but png's still end up larger for me. All things being equal that's the way it's always been for me.

The biggest advantages that I can see for png over jpg is something that won't make any difference for most people. png is a lossless format and jpg is a lossy format. Meaning that you can edit a png save it, and it doesn't lose any quality. On the other hand, jpg files will lose quality every time you edit and re-save them. Just editing one of them once doesn't make any appreciable loss in quality but if you do it over and over the decline will become quite apparent. Make a copy of a jpg you have and then open the file in a program like Irfranview or Paint or some such program and just re-save it. Then open the same file again and save it again. Do this several times and then open the original side by side the edited one and have a look. You'll see the difference.

The other advantage of png is that it supports transparency the same as gif does which in some instances, may be desirable. Images with transparent backgrounds on web pages come to mind.

Like I said, more than likely neither of those differences make any difference to the vast majority of people. So, from my experience anyway, given the size difference, jpg would be the way to go for most.
[Motorola Droid X2] ImgBurn:
robocuff,

Well spoken well said.;) I agree 100% and for those reason's I chose png or psd. I use PS and Lightroom mostly and dabble in video a bit.

ashclepdia,

I like Screenshot It by Edward Kim work's very well on rooted or non-rooted Droid X2. Need to be rooted on most other phone's. Jpeg's good for net stuff.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yea I used to use screenshot it...but it had started giving me problems. There were times when it would countdown but never take the shot. Or it would act like it took it but it wouldn't show up anywhere.

Screen shot er2 is my favorite one to use for now. It is very reliable. I haven't had any issue with it and everything works perfectly. I have never missed a shot with it.

If screenshot it works for ya that's awesome. Cuz I DID like it. Until it just wouldn't work like it should. If u ever have any problem wit it I recommend er2. Its paid(there is a free one. But er2 paid is worth it)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
JPEG:

PNG:

On my x2's screen the PNG shot is WAY sharper looking...what's it look like to everyone else after the upload?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Cuz after I upload here via xda app the jpeg is WAY sharper looking than the png is.

Weird...
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
I think what's happening there ash is the forum's software is converting the png file to a jpg file. If you look at the properties of both images on the web page, you'll see they are both jpg's now. My guess is that the forum software is using a higher compression rate then the screenshot app on your phone is. Thus the lower quality picture. If you download both of the pictures and check the file size of them, you'll see that the sharper image is around 80kb in size and the other one is about 30kb. It's smaller now because of the higher compression rate. Look at the size of the originals on your phone and I'm willing to bet the PNG is the larger of the two. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yea PNG is bigger by 500kb lol

I knee something wacky was happening here.

So PNG IS '"higher" quality. Just depends on what it is converted to when uploading..

I wish I could upload a straight png here...its a lot sharper...o well
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Perhaps you can change the compression level in the options of the screen shot program. Probably not but would be worth a look. If you can, you can play around with it and see what the different compression rates do related to size vs quality. The higher the compression rate, the smaller the file but the quality will be lower. Less compression will yield a somewhat larger file but better quality.

Hi.

1. Sorry about the english!

Question- nothing on my phone works!

the sd card as been cleaned.

and my computer does not recognize my phone.

HELP
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
Can you elaborate the problem your experiencing?

Have you installed the LG PC Suite on your PC? You need the drivers to recognise your phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dcure:
Please help !

Hello all people who helps here.

Sorry two if i write bad English.

Yesterday i bought my first Android phone. Is a second-hand cell and the person who sell me the phone never tried to connect to the pc. After install all necessary drivers, the pc never detect the phone. I try to use another usb cable (for lg optimus one) and still not recognize by the pc. Try to change > Configuration>store>only mass storage and nothing happen, even i tried to change setting in the hidden menu but nothing. Can somebody please pity on me and help me, i think is a hardware problem but im not sure. Can anybody tell me if had the same problem and how resolve this.

Thank you for your help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CosmicDance:
@dcure

try uninstalling the LG PC Suite, and reboot windows and re-install the PC Suite after that... It might help...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dcure:
CosmicDance thanks for your help, but i tried with other optimus one and pc recognize the cellphone. Im so sad because i want to root the phone and then flash a custom ROM.

:(, please if you have some idea i will appreciate your help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wktra:
Two things:

1) Make sure that under applications, you're not in USB Debugging

2) If you're using Windows 7, go into the device manager while the phone is plugged into the USB. The LG phone device might have a yellow "trouble" icon on it. Right click the phone and choose "Update Driver Software." Next, Select "Search automatically for Updated driver software." The computer should find the drivers on the pc and install them.

Sometimes, when you plug in 2 Optimus phones of the same model, this happens. Just push the driver forward.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] brockf5:
same thing happened with my o1 as well..

i did a hard reset and format my sd-card.

and after that all was ok
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
same thing happened to my phone but my phone is in warranty so i go to service centre and they checked my phone and change my PCB.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dcure:
Hello people, i return the phone then i bought a Samsung captivate :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DCarneiroHF:

Guys, my brother solve me the problem about Optimus One.

He put me the Android software on the SD Card.

And he actually follow the instructions of xda-developers.

If you like, i can ask him for the links!

I'm now trying to instal the Android 4.0!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] brutalimpacto:
it would be great if you can post the solution here it makes the thread complete (: !

same problem with my phone too
[General Questions and Answers] raymonko:
I have problems connecting my Samsung Galaxy SII LTE to the Internet using Data Packet.

I have gone through my carrier's instructions for APN and I am sure I have done everything right.

This phone was originally for Rogers but I unlocked it for use with Fido (my carrier). Did I miss anything? Is there another level of locking that prevents the phone from using Data Pack the proper way?

Now getting the lock information on my phone using *#7465625# renders the following:

Network Lock

Network Subset Lock

SP Lock

CP Lock

Does any cause this problem I am facing?

I presume since the phone is unlocked and I was able to use my sim card and make calls that the phone is working perfectly. Now, I am not sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hood_Station:
Today I finally purchased the Galaxy Nexus! Without a doubt this phone took a little pinch out the savings account, but next month I calculated that I would regain most, and even more back.

Question is...do you get kind of embarrass when people ask how much you paid for the phone?

& I'm pretty sure majority of you guys buy lots of Android phones off-contract, such as on ebay or craiglist. How long you plan on keeping your Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I don't care what people think about how much I spent on my phone. If someone has a problem with it it's exactly that, their problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Lol I get that a lot. Actually about 80% of the replies I get when I tell them are along the lines of "That's more expensive than the iPhone 4S!" All I have to say to them is "Of course it is. Just look at this sexy beast." :p

Planning on keeping this phone at least a year. Maybe longer if nothing comes out by then that tickles my fancy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The first one is a tough bite but as long as you choose your devices wisely, they will have a good resell value which makes your next phone similar to an on contract price ~$200.

I sold my Nexus 1 for $250 and bought the G2x for $500... so $250 which was the contract price. Since I bought it outright, I saved $20 a month on my bill. I just sold my G2x for $200 which is a bit low but I'm getting the Galaxy nexus for $300 through work. Saving $80 a month. Ill also sell my Blackberry for some coinage.... unless work puts my Nexus on the Company bill... then Ill give the blackberry back.

Did you find it worth it, OP? I'm having a hard time justifying selling both my iPad and iPhone for this... I could get a nice 64GB 4S with an amazing camera + awesome syncing with my computer... grrrrrrrrr. Decisions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
the phone is worth the high admission. Even though I despise apple, I think it is a poor decision to sell your metoo products. If its iPhone 4, keep it. 4s is a side step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
Where did you get it for $650?? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I spent waay more then that pal and I sleep with my baby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkVasyaK:
Dude, $650 is the price for a budget phone here in Russia. We usually get new phones for $1000 (iPhone 4S costs even more). So you are just lucky to get it much cheaper than we do.

Btw Galaxy Nexus also costs $1000 officially
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
I felt the same way.... and I paid a little more. Development will be great for this phone, so its a keeper for over a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
I dont care that this phone was expensive. Its unlocked, bloatware free, and pentaband and im not locked into waiting for the lousy carrier updates that never happened to my Vibrant. I will never fall for that trap again. Plus this phone looks so cool. Everyone so far asks me wow what phone is that....the screen is huge! I used to get sick of people asking me if my Vibrant was an iPhone 3GS...because it looked like one. This phone looks like something all its own and i like that it has no brand markings on the front.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elsif1:
I'm not paying for a subsidy, so I don't feel strange for paying so much. I probably would though if I had a subsidy. The $700 was $170 more than I spent on my old N1, but totally worth it to me so far. Great phone and great OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
lol yup, try close to $900

people will think your crazy, but what makes you happy makes you happy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
Man oh man do I love my nexus. best phone I've ever had. It's perfection and completely worth it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
I have a wife, one kid and another on the way. Last month I couldn't make the mortgage as I had to buy food... Still, I don't regret buying this phone SIM free on launch day!

PS only kidding... None of that is true. I never thought I'd pay that much for a fone either but I sold my sgs2 plus a whole bunch of tech I dont use anymore so I had more than enough to cover the cost of the phone. The worst bit was the 4 weeks between selling the sgs2 and getting the sgn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Jesus man you scared me a little lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Considering an unlocked iPhone 4S is over $900 and won't work with nearly every GSM carrier's HSPA+ I'd say it's a steal at that price. Also when people give me unearthed crazy look, I do the math on T-Mobile's $30 off contract plan and that usually shuts them up considering most people pay twice that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Winner winner. Chicken dinner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Don't feel anything.. this is in fact one of the cheaper phones I've bought!

The most expensive phone I bought was the Sony Ericsson P800 back then.

I think it's more like people (American, ahem) need to try to live in a place where you "bring your own" phone, paying the full price for it and pay only $15 a month for unlimited mobile broadband access + 200 free minutes and text. In countries where they don't subsidize their phones, they charge MUCH less for the airtime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
cheapest you can get one on contract is £36 ($56) a month for two years and the phone is free. Thats £864( approx $1348).

That's what I tell people that look at me weird when i paid only £415 ($647) for my GN
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jekkyll:
I have read through all the previous posts, and still can't sideload any apps. The apk downloads into "My Files>Downloads", but when I try to open them the NT says the file is not in an acceptable format. I even followed the phone trick - downloaded to my smartphone and snatched the .apk file in backups through astro file manager. Man oh man, nothing will work! Can anyone help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GSUBass05:
did you check the box to install from unkown sources (or whatever it's called)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] suicideclown:
I would factory reset and try again... did you ever root it or stock?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] r2tbone:
Did you download and install Go Launcher first?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jekkyll:
I am not rooted. To factory reset, do I Erase and Deactivate straight from the nook? I'm thinking back to my old RCA Reb 100 days - and at one point, you couldn't re-register the darn things. I remember reading on this forum a one-step process to return to stock. Maybe I should find that thread again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
Are you trying to open it via the notification bar (arrows in the bottom left corner) or via the Library file browser? It only works via the notification bar for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snapplex:


You need to download "Appmenu", enable unknown apk source installations and then you will be able to side load. Fyi that apk is on this forum.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jekkyll:
I've tried opening it both ways. I've also emailed myself an apk file and tried to open the attachment, but the attachment comes through with an unknown file type. And then NT says it's not in an acceptable format. grrrrrrrrrrrr.-
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snapplex:
So when you use the nooks default browser to download an .apk....you click at the bottom to run it and the settings menu doesnt load??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jekkyll:
Thank you, thank you. The factory reset worked and I'm on my way! You guys are SO cool!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
The problem was that you used the wrong app installer the first time you tried to sideload. This forever makes the nook unable to sideload apps. after this happens you must factory restore and only use the bottom app launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
EDIT I went in today to pick it up. The salesman went and grabbed it for me. He was in the process of ringing me up for it when the manager noticed what he was doing and stopped him. The manager apologized to me and said they received numerous calls yesterday about it and decided to check in to it and found that they have to hold off on selling it for now.

So basically if I hadn't said anything here yesterday & didn't post my store's info I could have had a GN today.

:(

I got a call from my local Best Buy Mobile just now telling me that they have the phone in stock now and are selling it tomorrow. They said they have one set a side for me.

Residue? They don't "stick", they just adhere using static and a more frictional surface. There's no residue.

lol it'll be late summer to fall before quad-core phones start coming out. Believing anything other than that is ridiculous. I'm guessing you didn't even read the link you posted...

Engadget has updated its post, saying that further reporting suggests this is "just simply a cool concept and not an actual device in the works."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eratosthenes:
pocketnow.com/android/htc-edge-first-quad-core-phone-revealed-images

Isn't this entire thread based on rumor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Yes, and we've seen how well rumors pan out.

The link you posted is more of the same. A "reliable source" says that HTC is developing a new phone, supposedly with the TEGRA3. These kinds of rumors are *VERY* rarely correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azeolus:
The other problem with the HTC quad-core is that if it does come out, it will most likely be locked like all the rest. One of the big draws for a lot of us on the GNex is that we can unlock it. It has been 2 years since there was an unlockable phone on Verizon, better stats are nice, but it will probably be another few years until we see another open phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
HTC is actually one of the devs that is commited to unlocking devices....which is why they have HTCdev.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
... Which doesn't still completely unlock the bootloader. We still have S-ON and cannot flash radios. Also, kernels cannot be flashed from recovery, only from Fastboot. So it sounds like they are doing things right, but if you actually have an HTC device you'll know that's far from the truth.
