[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
I got the original galaxy s II for at&t on the oct 04 launch day. I had been missing my iPhone 4 for a while and when Siri came out I impulsively jumped on it and returned my OG SII. I used the iPhone throughout october and november and I started to realize that It just doesn't suit me well. First of all the only reason I liked the iPhone 4 so much was because the battery lasted 2-3 days no problem no matter what i was doing. Secondly, it did what it could do very well.

The iPhone 4s is the opposite. The battery lasts a little over a day. If i don't charge it overnight, i have to find a charger the next morning.

That, and the fact that it's not jailbreakable yet, steered me clear. I'm impatient when it comes to getting my phone to do what i want. Jailbreaking adds a lot of functionality, but i need it NOW.

So I won a sales contest and they gave me the prize of picking any phone I want from at&t's lineup.(I don't work for at&t though) I picked the skyrocket.

Heres a few things that I have used so far and often rely on that the iPhone doesn't do for me:

1. Free music downloading from mediafire, added right to my library.

2. Text answering machine app. With my job, if people can't figure out why i'm not answering them while my phone's charging, all hell breaks loose.

3. XDA support/themes (this place is just too addicting)

4. Occasional free hotspot usage.

5. Airdroid. I'm lazy and don't like to pick up my phone when i'm on the computer. With this app i can get notifications, read, and reply right from my computer.

6. Bigger, brighter (and sharp enough for me) screen.

7. The battery life is the same as the 4s, which is fine when I'm getting more features out of it anyway.

I use the skyrocket as my daily. And I don't mind the iPhone. I use it when i need iMessage(since 90/100 people that I know are using iPhones and it's a pain to group message on android)

But yeah, I hope i was informative with that. lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WMguy:
I have an iPhone 4s and a Skyrocket. iPhone sits in the drawer 95% of the time and I've had the last 3 versions of iPhone and loved them all. That's all I need to say. :)

Hey everyone i have a slight problem with my tablet. I went to go into google maps when everything started to freeze and then the screen went black like i hit the power button to turn it off then turn it back on and nothing happens. I hold down the power button and it does a double beep. It was working fine an hour ago... i really hope I didn't brick it or anything, I've been planning on going back to stock and i guess i should of done that sooner =O

I'm running Revolver 3.9.5 with stock kernel i hope this is the right place and not in the Rom's thread. I'm just like uber stressed at this moment

EDIT: It's all good now =D managed to get it to reboot ... weird that it decided to do that =S... well that answers that about returning it to stock... having the HTC buttons isn't worth this stress

So mods please delete this post

[Droid X General] sacnotsack:
A buddy of mine has an extra Droid x laying around and wanted to know if there is any way to use it as a wifi adapter for the xbox 360. I personally don't think any has found a way to do that yet but I may be wrong. Basically he just wants to see if it can be done, but he's fairly new to the android game.

Since the xbox 360 wireless adapter plugs in via usb, is there a way to turn on wifi and share what ever connection you pick up with the xbox?

I know how to share a computers Internet connection, but he only wants to use the phone. No computers or laptops, no other cables, only the phone and the charging cable for the phone.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
The only way I know to share the dxs data connection over USB requires the connected device to have software installed.... maybe see if there is a tethering "app" you can install on your Xbox... I am a ps3 guy so I'm not sure what the Xbox is capable of... on second thought, I'm not sure if the dx is capable of broadcasting a signal out if you aren't using 3g signal... you might be shooting an already dead horse, I wouldn't waste the bullet (or time)

sent from my Droid X running Liberty 3
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I really wouldn't put much hope into this idea.

You would need a j-tagged xbox, custom firmware that could communicate with a custom application on the phone that would tunnel wifi received data through USB cable to the custom firmware on the Xbox.
[Droid X General] sacnotsack:
Yeah I figured that if it could be done it would be more trouble than what it's worth. Thanks for the input, I'll let my buddy know it's all just a pipe dream.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zxrax:
Using QuikWiz with whatever kernel is included with that ROM (Da_G's, IIRC), I pretty much can't OC at all. I'm stuck at the default 1566MHz, the closest bump up at 1728 is too high and my phone crashes. I just flashed TPCv3 which also uses Da_G's kernel and came to the same result - can't OC past 1566MHz.

Firstly, is there anything I can do to make my phone stable at 1728MHz? What do you guys have your phones set to?

Quadrant/AnTuTu screenshots welcome. :D

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicland:
My NC was complaining that it was getting low on space. Lo and behold, the internal 1 GB partition was about full. I used Titanium Backup to move most of the apps to the SD card (100 apps). The NC thinks the apps are on the SD card (and I'm assuming they're actually there), but it didn't free up ANY space on the internal partition. It's like it moved the apps, but didn't delete the old files. Does anybody have any idea how I can actually free up this space? I can't move the files back from the SD card, because it says there's no room.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
When you go to the apps in settings does it still have the move to SD option?

Sent from space
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicland:
No, it's got "Move to phone". It seems to have actually moved them, but doesn't seem to have removed the original files from the internal space. I've got Root Explorer, any idea where the original files would have been installed, so I can check if they're still there?

Was playing around with Root Explorer, and it seems all the files were in /data/app in the main memory, not on the SD card. I was able to delete from there, and free up space, but now the apps won't run (since they're obviously gone). Apparently it didn't actually move them to SD card, though the system thought it did. Didn't delete TB, so I can replace the apps, but I've got to find some way of actually moving them to the SD card, or making the nook partition bigger.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymtee:
What happens when you use "move to SD" from the "manage apps" application?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Rather than mess around moving Apps to SD I'd recommend the repartition option. Moving to SD was necessary with phones which were tight on internal memory but that doesn't apply to the Nook. Also it is always difficult to choose which Apps to move because they will stop working temporarily if you USB mount the SD card.

The normal 1GB data partition can get tight with a lot of apps installed. The Nook has plenty of internal memory so I repartitioned to 2GB data which gives a generous area for apps and 4GB for some basic media (pictures, music, video) and leaves the SD card free primarily for extra media, backups etc.

Following gives a guide to repartitioning. Make sure you have apps backed up before doing this.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicland:
That appears to actually move them. Not sure why titanium backup isn't. Managed to free up some space this way, but I think I'm going to repartition it, rather than have to shuffle stuff around to make room.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsnake:
Can you simply just go to the applications setting and select move to sd card or does this cause problems? I did the veryGreen install of CM7 and also installed gapp but have not pulled my card back out or repartitioned it or anything since doing that. I have a 16GB card and want to get full use out of it but I like my apps and download a lot. Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deshmani:
Hi - apologies if this sounds like a rant but my Galaxy S (andriod 2.2) is possibly the worst handset i've ever bought. I'm using it for about 8 months now and anything but the most basic activities are so slow i've stopped using them. the handset regularly freezes when I try and use the yahoo mail, facebook or whatsapp apps, and sometimes I can't even seem to receive an incoing call despite multiple swipes. I usually have to force-restart by taking out the battery pack 2-3 times a week. I dont have too many applications loaded either. I was told to try 2.3 Gingerbread but Kies doesn't let me upgrade.

Any suggestions for a relative novice as far as technology goes would be much appreciated. Should I write off this model entirely and change to a better one?

Thanks, Ani
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
Get familiar with odin and upgrade using that. Kies is a pain most of the time. Do a total wipe of phone, cache, and reformat sd card... Should be fine after that.

I did a speed test once during my free time from JL4 to KB5 (3 tests per modem all within the hour). I believe KA7 was a close second to KB5 (in terms of data) but I remembered my battery on KB5 (i used it for a week when it first came out) was not as great as KA7. I'm guessing it has something to do with scanning more often to find the strongest signal or something, hence the great data connection but worse battery :\

Being new to smart phones in general and to android specifically, I appreciated you sharing your "Tricks and Tips".

Your screen shot tip didn't work for me. When I press the back button, I loose the focus of the screen I'd like to make a snapshot of and then pressing the Home button does what it normally does.

It would have been nice if the information was posted directly in your thread instead of just including an external link.

One of the most under-used tips is not even that advanced. The "share with" feature to share data between apps is tremendously useful. It's one of Android's killer features vs iOS.

For example, to send a URL to Twitter you can hit menu > more > share page and then select the app to share from. 95% of Android users I speak with don't even know this is built into the OS and works from/to practically any app.
