I use an app called Traffic Monitor that I would recommend, it's free on the market. Has a nice widget that differentiates wifi usage vs data usage, and the app will breakdown what apps use bandwidth and how much.

I know what you are talking about I think it. I have it on my tab 8.9. I can find out the exact name and apk when I get home. It is linked to your att account and has day's left on billing cycle and data used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nextelbuddy:
well maybe someone downloaded one of those apps onto the skyrocket phone i saw on display since no one has mentioend an official AT&T widget.

thanks guys and i tried traffic monitor and it was great and detailed BUT i really like the Data manager interface more. its simple and you can actually input your billing date and how much data you have used up until now which is great.

love the widget as well.
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
Hey guys

Today I tested a HD trailer on my Titan and although it looked excellent on such display,I think it wasn't as smooth as iPhone 4.I maybe to sensitive but I think it was kinda less smoother.

So I decided to record a video with the phone and it's playback was very smooth(same as iPhone).

So,shouldn't the videos I synced from the PC play smoothly too ?
[HTC Titan] Blacklac:
Just curious, what was the framerate of the HD video? Also, what was the codec and bitrate if you happen to know.
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
30FPS

With a total bitrate of 2558kbs
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
Here's the link to it

http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/deceived-cinematic-trailer

If any of you guys can download it,it would be great.Check if it plays as smoothly as on the iPhone(if you have one) or like the video recorded by the phone
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
OK,so tested the trailer side by side with the iPhone 4 and it ran pretty much the same.(iPhone being a tiny bit faster).

On a side note,Titan "destroyed" iPhone 4 in terms of video playback lol first because of the large screen and second because the colors look way better on the Titan ! :)
[HTC Titan] also1989:
does the titan play .mkv files. i'm planning to get one after the holidays, but i don't know if wp7 can play .mkv!! i know that can play h.246 codecs. most of the video files i have are .mkv and not .avi. can anyone test it, please??
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
No,it only supports MP4 visds,so you have to convert them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
Is there a better way to get better control of the volume. I find 16 steps in volume control from min to max is not enough. When I hit around 12/13 it goes from not loud enough to too loud for the headphones I use. Any apps to get more resolution in volume control? :confused:

Thanks :cool:

For me equalizer app increased my volume when adjusting it and made my music sound way better. I'm sure there's other Apps too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bkarimg:
Hi, I have an HTC Diamond 2. It stays at the logo screen (black screen with HTC letters in white). It doesn't pass anywhere from there. I've tried using the reset button on the back near stylus, tried the hard reset (Vol Up/Down + Power key) but it doesn't respond. There's an option that "works": If I press the 'call' key + power button, it shows an update menu with the following: 1. Update Logo 2. Update OS 3. Update Eboot 4. Format User Space 5. Return; none work except for the format user space option, but it does nothing.

I've tried also from the PC but it doesn't recognize the device via USB. I downloaded Active Sync, and an update wizard from HTC.com but still no success in recognizing the device.

Please help me, I need this phone to keep working, I don't know what triggered the problem..

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffkro:
Time to retire my incredible and need to know which is the favored replacement. I heard the new nexus has connection problems so that's out. Kind of pushes me towards the HTC rezound, moto razor, or moto bionic(if really discounted). Anyways what are people's opinions on the new phones, which ones are most likely to be rooted and developed for etc.

I upgraded from the Incredible to the Galaxy Nexus and I love it. Have not had any problems with it. The battery drain is really proportional to how much you use it, and since I still have unlimited data I take great joy in downloading a lot on LTE.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpomike13:
I'm in the same boat. I ventured out to my local Verizon store to look at both Resound (they should have stuck with vigor) and Gnex. The resound looks so much like my Dinc, that no one would even notice that I got a new phone (not that it's important) but the Gnex is sweet. I made up my mind immediately. Now my only decision is to wait for quad core (Edge) or get Gnex now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
If your in love with flashing roms and such on the Inc then I would say go with the Nexus. As far as the connections problems, all the problems I had were solved by the leaked radios that came out last week.

If your not in love with flashing roms and such on the inc then I would say to go with the Rezound. My cousin just got it and I gotta say all in all its a good litte (kinda chunky) reliable phone.

As far as the Razr, I don't even wanna talk about it, I am in the process of finding a matching checksum apk that my buddy deleted on his Razr because the Motorola OTA will not update his phone unless the /system/ files are perfect. And no it is not as simple as copy and pasting a random system dump because not all Razrs came with the same signatures or something. Anywho, if you like root then go with the Galaxy Nexus. If you don't then you have two choices: the Rezound or Razr.

Sorry for the last rant, hope this helps...

It has microsd, better battery life and what most consider a better processor. The screen res isnt HD (which eats more battery) but the screen still looks amazing in my opinion.

This is how i apply these screen protectors for phones and tablets.

but you have to be semi fast for positioning.

1)Remove Batt if possable.

2)Go into a bathroom run the hot water in the shower and steam the room.

(dust and and everything in the air falls to the floor)

3)clean screen.

4)I use Stoners glass cleaner no ammonia, spray S.P. and lightly spray screen of phone.

5)Apply S.P. and position.

6)Squeegee with good paper towel wrapped around CC or Dl.

7)open door go to another room and fan with hair dryer for 5-15 min.

8)Put in batt and enjoy your new S.P.

you will have some moisture under the S.P. but will usually disappear within a day or 2.

I use glass cleaner as it evaporates very quickly with heat applied so most of/all moisture should be gone if any seeps into the phone when hit with the hair dryer...

I hope this helps someone as this has been my way of applying s.p's for around 3 years or so...

Title of you post made me think i was on the wrong web site xxx rather than xda .....lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmertin:
What you should do, after you remove the battery, is hold down the power button for 10 seconds and then press it down a few more times after letting it go. This is to discharge the capacitors. From the way you wrote it, you took out the battery and then made the "steam room." Waiting for this to happen would also discharge the capacitors, which can take a while. Some people may want to make their "steam room" while they're on their phone, it wouldn't be the best of ideas to just go in right after removing the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twizted_dreams1:
Thank you, that is true, as i pull the batt while outside of the steam room while making the steam room.

I never though of hitting the power button couple times though...

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Rather than clutter up other threads, such as the blocking 1.41 OTA update thread, I propose we put thoughts/frustrations here. As such, here is what I think:

Upon thinking about this more, this is really just the final wedge that B&N put in place to separate the people here, versus the people who are locked into B&N content.

We/I had been hoping that maybe someday they would change their mind and open up the NT so it would act the way the NC would. But, this is a clear message to consumers on how they want to proceed with their product. There will be no unlocked bootloader in the future. There will be no use of outside apps from other markets.

I can't blame them for trying to make money. They put together a nice piece of hardware, and are probably making little to no profit on the hardware. The real bummer here is, for me at least, I would have likely purchased non-apps(see books) from B&N and used the software originally provided by them to view the books. But now with this update, I am basically forced to do the full bloatware removal, and I will get books through other means.

For me, the NT is more a toy for apps and less for reading. Utilizing the B&N app market, which as others have said, is very limited and often pricey, does not make sense. Could I spend some more money and get a full android tablet? Sure, but if I've learned anything from these forums in my short time here, its that it is fun to work together on tweaking something and making it better than what it was originally intended for.

Your thoughts?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
I think it's only a matter of time before the devs figure out a way around their "block" of nonBN apps. All they did was take out the ease of sideloading out of the box.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
I still haven't gotten a Nook Tablet. I still plan to. I have no doubt that this will be a temporary setback. The locked bootloader is, no doubt, a challenge. Rooting the device after this update, however, shouldn't be nearly as significant an issue, I wouldn't think.

I have the same feelings about the device - it will be a fun toy and useful device and will serve less as an eReader.

For the time being, I will be reading the forums to see what new developments come along in this drama.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
It sounds like they already have, but the point remains that it was a slap in the face to anyone that has been previously side-loading apps and customizing their NT without rooting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
If you've read some of Indirect's posts before, i believe he debloats most if not all of BN's stuff. Changing the db values worked for the Nook Color, and i assume it's just a matter of hours before one of us work out a quick workaround to rescuing those who got bumped to 1.4.1. I suspect it's gonna be something like this:

1) Using SD card method to restore to 1.4.0

2) Identifying the culprit to push/pull OTA on the NT

3) debloat B&N footprint to minimal so that the NT will be a stable platform to research the bootloader issue.

I'm really surprised so many people start thinking returning their NT because of one minor update. As long as there's one copy of rooted NT among us, i think we'll be able to propogate and beat BN at their game.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
I pulled this from the "How to block B&N 1.41 update" thread.

For my fellow XDA noobs, fear not and don't lose faith in the brilliance of this community.

Here is a fine example(see post above): AdamOutler is amazing and comes through for XDA often like so many others.

Watching him and Loglud give NT bootloader the business in the Development thread is impressive even though I don't fully understand. I see though that they are making progress. They prove that there are many ways to crack the NT nut.

Remain calm and keep reading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
If I took offense at every manufacturer that has "slapped the face" of their market, I wouldn't own anything. I would live in the woods because the people that made my house cut corners to line their pockets. My shingles wouldn't be prematurely failing. I would have sold my Prius immediately when I found out about the cover-up of some very important safety information. I would start a class-action suit over the burst capacitors on my motherboard due to the manufacturer using questionable sources for their electronics. I would never buy a toy for my kids because most are made in China using questionable labor tactics.

If people choose to take this personally, fine. Return your devices. Please also take stock of what you own and what pains you go through daily because capitalism encourages these behaviors. Then, sit back and ponder how you, as a consumer, contribute to the issue.

Am I unhappy about the decision? Yes. I'd rather thumb my nose at B&N by being patient and using whatever new tricks are up people's sleeves to use the device in a way "I'm not supposed to be able to" than not even buying one. Does this make me a hypocrite by making a rationalization to own a device while still supporting the very practices that perturb me? Perhaps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Moved my thoughts from the other thread:

I think B&N is going to be surprised at the number of returned NT's- I'm betting far beyond their 3% estimate. 3% is probably people like on this site, average/above average tech users. Well beyond that are many others who buy NTs based on a recommend from the 3%, who then just follow the instructions for sideloading/rooting.

Personally, I've recommended the NT to about 4 other people who bought as Christmas presents. If there will be a constant worry for them about sneaky updates wrecking their NT's, my only advice will be to return while they can and get something else. I recommended based on the NT's ONLY real advantages- that it can be rooted and sideloaded. It sucks, and now I regret recommending this, and from now on I won't. I don't mind being responsible for the NT I bought my wife for Christmas, but not anyone else's.

In the end, B&N and others who go this crazy locked down route will lose- more and more people are tech savvy enough to know they're getting the shaft. B&N needs to develop a better app store, like Amazon. People willingly put Amazon's app store on their devices, including the Nook. I wonder how many KF users willingly put B&N crap on their devices?

They think they can just force people into a crappy walled garden like they are Apple, but with a subpar app store, charging even for otherwise free apps. It's not gonna work, and unfortunately the NT will eventually sink in a sea of better tablets that aren't locked down.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sonicdh:
I'm not so sure that people will be returning their NTs with this update. Most of us have had ours far past the two week return period. Even if we returned them, it would be for store credit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
return window for "holiday" purchases has been extended to 01/31/12 if purchased between 11/14 and 12/31.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
is it really worth returning it for a little reason like this? Heck, even Amazon have done the same thing in the past couple days. Granted you have the option of flashing a new ROM onto the KF but what about the people who have just bought it and it comes with the new FW or they haven't seen the post on the new FW?

I agree with most saying that B&N are doing what is best for them, which makes sense in a business aspect and everyone who bought this for a cheap colour e-reader have no concept about it. We get upset, someone finds a way to fix it, we move on to something else.

I too considered returning mine but A) it won't do me any good B ) Other "cheaper" tablet developers seem to be doing the same thing.

Final thought - Might as well keep it and patiently wait for something to change from here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Being a total noob to all things android and not a very adept at computers, I was so happy to compare the Nook Tablet and the kindle fire side by side. I picked the nook tab because I saw that I could side load all the kindle book store and Amazon apps to the Tab. Also because of the hardware improvements.

Now I feel like I've been baited and switched. I do believe that I will be returning the Nook Tablet I have purchased. Before I do, I have a few questions. Please excuse my ignorance.

1. where do I go to buy the refurbished nook colors for 130.00 ?

2. If I buy an upgraded nook color, will I be able to load the kindle bookstore and my kindle books on to it?

3. Will I have access to sideloading all the things I want on the nook color?

4. How do I save the content I now have to move over to the nook color?

5. Will the 16gig SD card I bought for the nook tablet work on the nook color?

If all these things can be done with the nook color, then I must vote with my wallet and return my tablet if for no other reason than principle. I purchased a product from a company that performed a certain way and I wake up and find they have disabled the functions that mattered to me the most. I didn't rent or lease the product. I purchased it. It should be mine to use or modify as I please.

With my needs, it appears that the nook color will do me just fine. I don't plan on watching movies or TV on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thunder33cat:
As others have noted, my frustration is this... I bought (3 in total) and recommended several others buy over things like the Fire because one could sideload without rooting.

I'll be the first to state that I am perfectly content rooting my own NT (as I did for my NC previously), but I have two other NTs in my household as well. It is neither practical nor desirable to have to root all three and maintain all three for less savvy users who want software not available in the BN store.

The capability to sideload made the selection of the NT an easy choice. Blocking sideloading without rooting makes the choice to return two - if not all three - an easy choice as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johninsf:
I hope this helps with your questions.

1. where do I go to buy the refurbished nook colors for 130.00 ?

Ebay

Google Search

2. If I buy an upgraded nook color, will I be able to load the kindle bookstore and my kindle books on to it?

No. It has 1.41.

Go to the "Nook Tablet Android Development - [Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Nobel Nook 1.4.0 from SDCard" to understand how to undo.

3. Will I have access to sideloading all the things I want on the nook color?

Only with a rooted 1.4 or custom rom. Unsure how 1.41 might impact a custom rom or if this would even be an issue for custom rom.

4. How do I save the content I now have to move over to the nook color?

SD card and/or Dropbox or some other way to access later.

5. Will the 16gig SD card I bought for the nook tablet work on the nook color?

Yes from what I have read.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mama Luigi:
This update demonstrates that B&N is openly hostile to the dev community. Most manufacturers (even Apple!) take a laissez faire approach to outside development - they don't go out of their way to help, but they also don't go out of their way to break things. Kindle Fire updates, for instance, are a minor inconvenience for rooters, and rerooting is very easy.

A lot of people were willing to live with the locked bootloader because, in the end, you can still achieve most of what you want simply through sideloading. All the bootloader really curtails are those ugly themes that rom chefs seem to love so much. But stopping sideloading? Ugh, no way.

By doing this, B&N has proven that they are not happy with sideloading and I believe it is within their power to disable it permanently. And even if it is always possible to circumvent, you'll see the community here get smaller and smaller until there aren't enough people willing to bother.

So I would say do not get a Nook Tablet if you are not happy with using the pure stock experience without sideloading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Gotta vent too. Blocking sideloading is a total f u in our faces. We also can't root it with ZergRush. What do we have left? Total waste of hardware if you lock it down like this. Might as well get the simple touch ereader. You can't call it a tablet if it can't do tablet things!
