[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kabauterman:
Got my Case for the GN today:

5 € at amazon.de and more than worth every cent!

Protects good, it's to thick, cheap...

just a little bad point, Power button needs to be pushes a little more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GalaxynexusVZW:
I bought a pack of 13 of these, all different colors for $13. I Bought it on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stephenta:
does this case fit the verizon lte version with extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kabauterman:
I don't think so cause it fits the GSM Version perfectly, so there is no room for the extended battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
It will fit, but the lower sides will bow out a bit and thus won't "lip" over. I've not tried it without the door, however.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
Anyone give me direction on how to debrand the ATT Captivate?

Seems very little if not no info on it.

I have 2.3.5 on it (KK4).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Not to be dense, but could you please elaborate a little on what you mean by "debrand"? Are you looking to remove all the AT&T things from the software side? Hardware? Physical appearance of phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
The SW. Make it more like a generic I9000 phone. I used to work at a cell phone manf and we had generic SW, and then the carrier branded SW around. 3/Hutch was one of the best for being very close to Generic, but obviously those phones were never sold in the US.

Right now I am stuck with ATT boot up screen, ATT only CSC, ATT bloatware, other stuff that identifies it with ATT.

I have a phone that has production released 2.1 on it (older android) and ATT has no clue what it is, yet it has ATT software. Much less is blocked via the network on it. Want to get the I897 Captivate closer to that if possible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you're really into getting rid of all things AT&T, you could flash the i9000 Gingerbread bootloaders to get rid of the AT&T startup screen, then flash CyanogenMod to get rid of everything else (it's open source, no AT&T specific-things other than maybe some APN settings).

If you're wanting to go to a more stock look, though, I'm sure there are some fairly stock-eque roms in the Development section that would suit you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
Where do I find the GB BL? I googled and didn't find.

The file names of the files are often very cryptic on what they should be used for. I did a LOT of phone flashing where I was, and as bad as our filenames were, they are nothing as bad as the ones I find. Any good clue to know which file to use for each segment (phone/CSC/PDA, etc)? They are rarely if ever named with phone/csc/pda in the filename.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
The easiest (and least hassle-laden) way that I've found to flash the Gingerbread bootloaders is to grab a stock ROM with them included. I would recommend the procedure in this post, as it has the i9000 BL's you're looking for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
I'll see what I can come up with. The only issue that I have heard with the I9000 files is the lack of a menu button causes issues. Can I do BL's only from that?

General rule where I was, you never go back on BL's, once you go forward you don't go backwards. Bricks it all too often....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
?????????????
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you're really only wanting to do the bootloaders, go to this thread. There is a link in the first post that says "I9000 GB Bootloaders". Those will be the ones you want if you don't want to flash a full rom.

I'd say a more expanded version of your rule is to flash bootloaders as few times as absolutely necessary. Once you have these bootloaders on the Captivate, there shouldn't be a reason to change them again, as you can load all the Froyo, Gingerbread, AOSP, and ICS roms that are floating around the forum.

What menu button issue are you referring to? That's a new one to me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
I9000's don't have a soft menu/home button like the Cappy does, the I9000's have a dedicated button. Probably should have said home button. I have a I897, but we have a I9100T here at work I can look at too. I like the I9100T much better....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Ahh. It shouldn't matter - to flash bootloaders, you'll need to use Odin or Heimdall, so a menu button won't impact that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
Do I need to check Phone Bootloader Update in Odin? I tried the I9000 BL from that link and didn't seem to affect operation any. How do I know what bootloader is loaded?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you flashed that Odin file, it should have a new first boot screen when you start up the phone - it should say "Galaxy S I9000" in white letters on a black screen, instead of the AT&T globe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EyesofThunder:
Tried again with BL option checked, it now shows the I9000 screen momentarily then goes to an ATT screen on boot. I guess part way there....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
The first screen is the bl splash, the second is the kernel splash.

You can still flash I9000 firmware on the captivate.

You will need a reoriented kernel from the cappy dev section, that will fix the screen rotation issues.

I posted a zip in this post to flash after the kernel to remap the buttons.
[Atrix 4G General] JccageX2:
Hey guys. So i got an atrix today and really like it, only thing is js that the bottom part of the phone gets heats up after about 10 minutes of use. Its really annoying and i don't want it to damage my phone. How can i fix it without installing a custom rom or anything?
[Atrix 4G General] ParaLanche:
Mine did that when i got it at first too, After about a month or 2 it fixed itself.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
The bottom of the phone is where the processor is and since it's dual-core it will get warm, especially after 10 continuous minutes of use. It should be nothing to worry about as some have reported getting it up to 115 degrees or so without problems. Also, the phone has a safety feature where it will shut the phone off if it gets too hot.
[Atrix 4G General] @rbiter:
Have you tried undervolting?
[Atrix 4G General] brianwzb:
Every time it shut the phone automatically, I have to pull the battery off and boot it up. It is really annoying cause I am using a case which is hard to wear on/off. Any solution?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
How long are you waiting to boot the phone back up? It should be left to cool down first.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

I believe he wants to avoid any of that when he says he wants to do it "without installing a custom rom or anything", which I believe you need a custom kernel to undervolt. Is that correct? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] JccageX2:
Yeah. It just bothers me when the phone gets hot in my hand, and I sorta don't want it to get damaged. I don't wanna undervolt either, it should be able tow ork without me messing with it and it not heating up so much. I don't think other dual cores have the same problem.

Hopefully it'll fix itself though, like an above poster said.
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
Just have a ice pack on hand for long usage. Should eliminate the problem altogether!
[Atrix 4G General] Moonshield:
First of all, what android version you are using?

Mine used to heat up nicely enough to cook an egg on it when running stock 2.2, since the stock 2.2 kernel has almost no CPU management at all. When unlocking it and replacing the OS version to 2.3, even before start messing around with custom kernels, it heated less. After I started using custom kernels (especially the superb kernels by faux123 :D ) I could UV the device, now it heats up only after long playing or at low battery levels.

Hope it helps you :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
There is part of your problem. No active cooling with phones, so when you encase them in something else, there is nowhere for the heat to go. Try using without the case for a few days and see if the problem remains. These phones do get hot, and there are multiple threads covering this topic already.
[Atrix 4G General] BPinard:
using an ice pack will probably cause condensation inside the phone, which would damage it.
[Atrix 4G General] Tattered:
I find that mine starts to heat up after using high cpu things like games etc. What I suggest is an app named "Juice Defender" and limiting your game/high cpu usage.

If it gets too hot put it on sleep and let it cool

[Sony Tablet S] jychan28:
Don't know why people are excited about Android 4.0, just because it is a newer version so it would be better. Is SONY known to be a better software company?

SONY Tablet S has very short battery life compared to iPAD, don't shut-off whatever is running in the background that eating up the batteries. I can leave my iPAD 64G for 2 months and power it up and it still have more than half the battery life. I leaved the Tablet S in my brief case for a day or two, it emitted a funny beeping sound. I now figure it out it is because the batteries run down below 10% and that is a warning sound.

Tablet S's charger is from stone-age. You need to carry a AC cable and this little brick. I didn't want to carry the heavy weight and bought an extra one and that cost $39.95 plus 8.5% CA sales tax. But it didn't really solve my problem because I need 4 of them. But charger connector is so unique that there is no substitute and its voltage is not standard so I can't just cut the wire and splice it to an USB cable. Samsung Tablet also has its own charger but it is small (but expensive). But you can use non-Samsung charger if you don't mind it took twice or more as long to charge it (I leave it overnight with an iPad charger). On the other hand, iPAD uses USB charger. Through the years I accumulate enough of those that I never have to carry the charger (small) around except one iPhone cable. I didn't like Apple's fascism on users so I bought the SONY to help out the industry but it is bitter-sweet experience. SONY has better camera and better feel on the hands. However, when it plays HD .wmv files the sound disappear because the hardware is not fast enough in spite it is dual-core at 1Ghz (the video player is a paid commercial version). iPAD2 beats it hands down but you need iTunes to get anything over to iPADs or iPhones that really is a pain at the neck.

I don't care any fancy name Sandwiches or Ice Cream or Android 4. I just want it to run smoothly, not to sleep on me or re-boot at times by itself. Give me a real sleep software that it will keep the battery standby longer because I don't like to wait for couple minutes every time I need to use it. In other words one of the beauty of Tablets over notebooks is instant ON.

I hope someone will answer my post and tell me what I did wrong with my SONY so it got so short operation life (4 hours or so) and short standby battery life (day and half). I don't think I got a defective machine. If that was the case, I would be very disappointed with SONY's quality control. Mine is a 32G version. BTW, the little leather case accessory for this baby is $99.99 plus 8.5% and it is no more than just a bag.

It just shows me SONY is ARROGANT and Apple is FASCIST. Samsung is trying to figure out which side to lean. I just wonder whether Google + Motorola will give use a better true U.S. machine(s).
[Sony Tablet S] neonkoala:
Ignoring the rant, the problem with standby usage of only a couple of days is due to your tablet not going to sleep (have a look in the battery usage graph). I had this and fixed it with a factory reset. Somewhere along the line something in an upgrade or similar stopped it sleeping. Factory reset has fixed it all for me.
[Sony Tablet S] Jerz:
WHAAAAAAAAAAA....

That being said.... My tablet rocks! I am no fan of the ipad that my brother and best friend own and I have no idea how you could go a couple of days without using it... I actually like the power port since I have had two phones with the micro usb where the port went bad... This newly designed power port allows you to simply place in the cradle rather than struggling to force the thing in the stand had it come with a standard port.

Can't wait for ICS to get here.
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
I know there is this hype around the S1 getting ICS, but how will it improve performance and functionality?

Men I have the ipad 2 and this a crap not flash soport and dont download apps an games and videos and see you pplay videos you have pot the computer usb cable in te computer tis a **** and the emulators not good in ipad 2 and the jailbreak is only 4.3.3 this tables is much bether with te ipad 2

Enviado desde mi Sony Tablet S usando Tapatalk
[Sony Tablet S] HKboy92:
Power port has ups & downs. It's a SONY-only cable, which sucks, but it's REALLY comfortable in using it. Better then USB if you ask me, although something universal was good too.

That aside, I really hope ICS will allow the S1 for micro-USB charging, so I can use my Duracell USB charger.

Furthermore, I agree that ICS has no REAL benefits on tablets, but it's always nice to have, no?
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
you're forgetting something.

a.) under the hood improvements

b.) pretty soon all droid tablet app devs will be targeting ICS. Honeycomb is a dead platform + it has tiny market share.
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
Not sure how reputable this site is but according to their speculation it is stating a release date by February 2012. Just thought I would share...

http://www.digitalversus.com/tablet...blet-android-4-0-update-announced-n22612.html
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
Seen it around on a few sites that ICS for Sony S will be rolling out in February ;)
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Its also official on their Facebook page.
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
If its on Facebook then it must be true lol. I tried looking for their fan page but there is a few of them.
[Sony Tablet S] pcoulson:
I read somewhere that ICS doesn't partition the "internal" memory space for apps and OS as honeycomb currently does, so this might release some space for those with the 16Gb version of tablets.

Anyone else heard this? If true, I'm sure it'll be good news for a lot of users.
[Sony Tablet S] raqball:
I think a lot of people who think ICS is the 2nd coming are goimg to be disappointed with ICS on Tablets.. Yes it will offer improvements but I think smartphones will benefit more from it than Tablets will..

ICS want to merge the UI on Androids and it IMHO takes a lot of HC and moves / ports it over to phones.. Does ICS offer improvememts for Tablets? You bet! Is it the 2nd coming? Not even close.. Expect it to look and act the same as HC with behind the scene and under the hood improvememts..
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Visually I realize it will look and feel almost identically, but it's those under the hood improvements that will make it so much more (advanced) user friendly!
[Sony Tablet S] k.bergmann2:
And which are the under the hood improvements?
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
Allegedly unification of app compatibility (meant to end androids fragmentation of devices and apps).

I'd assume general performance increase ie like eclair to froyo and then to gingerbread.

Little tweaks like how gingerbread brought turning off data when on sleep mode.

Battery performance increases

Etc
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
This article teaches a lot about features incorporated into ICS which will really improve the user experience:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc...android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-1043150/review
[Sony Tablet S] Dabrego123:
Ice cream sandwich has a lot better optimizations for dual core throughout the os. Hardware acceleration will make the tablet a lot smoother. So that's a big reason to be excited about ics
[Sony Tablet S] Maine_Coon:
Does ICS have the hardware buttons support?

I hate this "feature" of HC - inabilty to use the hardware/capacitive buttons.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
You can also force GPU use within the applications section of ICS, it works fantastically on my Nexus S, and with it on for all applications, it's as smooth as anything, no stutter.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
I hope Sony will release ICS by feb..
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
Yes it does; on devices like my Samsung Galaxy S II with hardware buttons (technically not really hardware on this phone), it will use those instead of the capacitive buttons.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Early Feb I think was the approximate due date. I hope it will be a Januaty 28th Birthday pressie :)
[Sony Tablet S] vivftp:
It seems that a tidbit of info about the Tablet S with ICS was leaked in the following video at 3:20:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCMH-dcY_o8

He mentions that with the Tablet S and ICS you will not only be able to throw media (photos, videos, music) via DLNA to your TV as you can do now, but you'll be able to throw your entire tablets screen to your TV. I do have to wonder what this could mean for this tablet. Will it allow you to play games on your tablet and have them wirelessly stream and be displayed on your TV? If so, how in the frack would this be possible? Or could it just mean you can take any random shot of a screen and toss it to the TV just as you would an image?

If you will be able to play full motion video and games on your TVs screen wirelessly, what sort of features will your TV have to support to make this work? If this is what I'm hoping it is, it'll more than make up for the lack of HDMI on the Tablet S :D
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
That video was very interesting, cheers for that !

How he says you can basically throw to any internet connected devolve for videos already, I'm so going to have to set it up with the ps3 :D or try anyway.

Hopefully we are getting closer to release now, id love to play some game up on the big screen :cool:

Aslong as its fixes the compatibility with gameloft that is!
[Sony Tablet S] depulle87:
The video makes me wonna have the xperia s even more !!!
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
YES! Sony have won quite a few awards for some of their softwares! Such as the Sony Vegas Pro and others. The Sony Vegas Pro is one of the best video editing software out there which is actually used by Sony studio to do their commercials and such. Lots of other company also depends on Sony's software. Also the sony software tweek in the stock android browser does make it load up faster compare to other android tablet of the same specs. This is tested!

I don't own the overrated iPad or the have baked update iPad2(more like iPad1.5) but my Sony Tablet can stay on standby for about 2 weeks. When I turn off the screen and not use it, I notice it only use up 3-5% of the battery throughout the whole day. And the only beep I get are the email and update notification.

More like bad video encoding or a codec that isn't accepted. the Sony Tablet is fully capable of playing full 1080p HD video at 30fps and stereo sound! The iPad dont even have stereo sound. It's not the hardware dude, it's your video! Learn to encode it right dude! I hate it when people talk bad about something simply because they are too stupid to figure it out.

Sucks for you cause my tablet works great. haha

What can I say, maybe it's just bad luck or bad pick for you. iPad has defected ones also so don't blame the company just cause you're **** out of luck. Try to do a factory reset or calibrate the battery via a full discharge(let it discharge completely to ZERO) and fully charge it. The sony tablet s can last up to 8-10 hours of usage. 8 hours of playing video at 50% brightness and up to 9-10 hours of regular use (45% brightness). I've test this on mine muiltiple time to see if it is consistent and it is. BTW the case is only $57 on amazon. It's where I got mine. learn to shop smarter. ;)

Sony isn't arrogant, lots of company depends on sony technology and sony's hardware, including hollywood and other movie studio. Remember Sony was the first to make a portable music player and they created compact media disc (CDs) so you owe it to them with some respect!

now with that being cleared. I AM HYPE FOR THE NEW ICS UPDATE on this tablet!
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
In more ways than one, Sony is the most technically advanced company in the world, the Japanese always have been.

Their new PS vita is stunning, i've not got it but the technology is astounding and being able to throw content to a tv without a lead is revolutionary. Scary how technology is advancing ,but impressive.

I think ICS will be very stable, they extensively test their software before release and no doubt from previews it will have some additional features...
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
I'm getting the PS Vita next week. Can't wait for it! I do hope Sony customize ICS for more features. My brother have the transformer prime with ICS and besides the slightly different (more appealing) UI, I don't really see much difference from Honeycomb.
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
Any recent update on when ICS is due to land? I'm about to buy the tab S (it's just had £50 knocked off the 16Gb one..)..
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Sony doesnt have any official word, but the last unofficial whispers were early-to-mid April so it shouldn't be long now.
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
I can leave my iPAD 64G for 2 months and power it up and it still have more than half the life??

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I always think Philips created the CD:confused:
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
"Sony first publicly demonstrated an optical digital audio disc in September 1976. In September 1978 they demonstrated an optical digital audio disc with a 150 minute playing time, and with specifications of 44,056 Hz sampling rate, 16-bit linear resolution, cross-interleaved error correction code, that were similar to those of the Compact Disc introduced in 1982. Technical details of Sony's digital audio disc were presented during the 62nd AES Convention, held on March 13–16, 1979, in Brussels.[3] On March 8, 1979 Philips publicly demonstrated a prototype of an optical digital audio disc at a press conference called "Philips Introduce Compact Disc"

Sony came first, Phillips came later, same technology though. But you're right, Phillips called it CD while sony called it something else even though it is the same technology.
[Sony Tablet S] lilnobude:
Have the sony s and vhgomez rom ics on nexus s 4g, cant wait for April, get official ics and galaxy nexus
[Sony Tablet S] oANUBISo:
They decided on a joint ownership, Phillips CD was the size of a 12 inch record, Sony version was how we see it today

They also had a small hand in DVD, But was the main pushers of Blu-ray
