[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
First make sure the plan doesn't change to 20 months after this upgrade since Sprint is eliminating a lot of upgrade eligibilities. The GS2 is a great phone. So if you don't want to hold out until the LTE phones come out with quad cores in the summer then go for it.
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
Hm I wonder if that applies to the employee plans.. ill have to check.. if I am set to get another upgrade next december I think I'm going to do it.. I doubt minneapolis would be fully up and running with lte until then anyways :(
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yup, that's what I would do if you have another one coming next December. By then there should be a good line of LTE phones. But if it's 20 months....
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
So confirmed it will be 20 months
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
NOW is that finger so itchy? LOL. I could have upgraded at Radio Shack because of an error in their system but didn't because the Epic is awesome for one, can't live without the keyboard for 2, and then didn't want to be stuck with WiMax for 20 more months.
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
That 20 month news spread the metaphorical preparation h on my trigger finger.. I don't kno that I would want to be on a wimax phone for over a year after lte hits..
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Trust me ... Wait in a few months you'll new drooling at your choices
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
wrong thread. sorry
[Epic 4G General] codest3r:
I'd wait too... Like Kenny said quads are coming. LTE is coming. And if you can wait a little longer into late next year you might be able to get a handset with CDMA on 700Mhz band (recovered Nextel iDEN spectrum) with much improved coverage along with the quad-core handset with LTE 4G. :D (though it could be 2013 by the time handsets and network are ready for that)

20 month upgrade cycles sucks but you have an Epic with lots of dev activity and the potential to get ICS via CM. I'm sticking with it for another year in all likelyhood... save up some cash and wait for a CDMA/LTE Android flagship device that will keep me cool for a minimum of 20 months. :)
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
I'm going to wait.. I've been waiting so long for official cm7.. I'm not jumping ship just yet.. plus the epic community is the shiz..
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I have an upgrade available on January 1st and I've had the same problem. I want to use the upgrade because it THERE! I thought about the E4GT, but it's another TouchWiz phone. Then I thought about maybe if/when the Galaxy Nexus comes to Sprint, but then there are quad cores coming out shortly after that! Who's to say Sprint will get those right away? Such is the life of a techie...
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I've been eligible for an upgrade since early october... I haven't used it yet because of the elimination of 1 year upgrades so I'm saving it until the first quadcore LTE qwerty phone. My epic does everything I need and THENSOME. I can only imagine when I finally see a phone that actually makes me say "............deal."
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
I have yet to see a phone that will make me as happy as my Epic has
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
Quadcore lte qwerty?! For me I would add aosp and samsung hardware to that.. but that's wishful thinking.

I'm willing to trade the keyboard for a 4.5in or above screen.. I would prefer aosp, but honestly I would probably settle for tw.. as I'm just going to flash a rom that removes the garbage anyways..

Is the quadcore going to be similar to what some dual core phones are now? The software doesn't support the processor so it really is just 1 core?
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yep. Not only LTE but also the 800 band that NV will bring.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
Hi from the specs and quality point Playbook has it all and the price is 199.99 for 16gb. Compairing to Kindle Fire which doesn't have a mic, front and rear camera Bluetooth and other lots of stuff missing, what is the point? Playbook has everything and better build quality and even volume keys:). It already runs gingerbread 2.3.3 in android player.

Please don't start a war. Its just a question.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buffet_of_Lies:
I'm going to hazard a guess that it was primarily because of the Android OS. Yeah, the Playbook has great specs and price point but it's sort of off in it's own little category with a much more limited amount of apps and media.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
yes I understand, but the Playbook can be hacked too, its already running android in the player, it's just that if dev's made a recovery so we can flash roms it will be awsome.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GBH2:
It is a reasonable question.

I never really thought about it to be honest, but when I bought the Kindle Fire the Playbook was more money, as far as I knew, and it was not native Android,

Additionally, I like Amazon - I have been a "Prime" member for years. So for $199 out of the box I get an ereader, with the few kindle books I own and free kindle books; Free streaming video, the Amazon App store, which isn't the Android Market but isn't too bad.

Also, I could see how popular it was going to be thus resulting in a large developer community and lots of fun stuff to do with it. :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intersectRaven:
2 words. Native android. You can reason that you can "run" Android on a Playbook but it's not running directly on the hardware which introduces a lag which isn't noticeable but psychologically bothering to most people who could and would run Android on it. :p
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
I am using it right now and it has no lag wahtsoever. i have the android market installed and i can install any app widgets from there. this just needs a dev who can hack it to put a recovery and rom thats all.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buffet_of_Lies:
TBH I hadn't heard about the Playbook. And my reasons for getting a KF are more complex and irrelevant to this thread. ;) I'm glad you like your device though... it sounds cool.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subtex:
Price. All I want/need out of a 7" tablet is the Kindle app, a photo/comic viewer and a web browser. The Playbook wasn't that cheap when I got my Fire.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
thanx everyone for shareing
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacker:
samomamo, since you have this up and running on your Playbook, I have some questions-

1st, what about Amazon App store? Are you able to load and run any apps from there? I ask, because I have gotten a few apps from there that I'd love to run on the Playbook. Sketchbook Mobile and Gaia GPS, at the very least. Textplus Gold is another I'd absolutely use.

Other android apps I want to know about (and these are all free, which is one of the biggest draws to Android)-

Aldiko with ability to function fully (set up catalogs and download books directly to device

WiFi Analyzer

Angry Birds (yes I know, but it IS fun)

Words With Friends (again, I know)

Google Cloud Printer

Dropbox

Pandora

Tunein

Medscape, Epocrates, or Merck Medicus Mobile (one of these, at least, if not all)

I got a playbook, and yes, the hardware and specs are very impressive- much moreso than my Nook Color. But the Nook has all these running and thus has the edge.

Merry xmas!

These apps
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samomamo:
Hi the thing is that it was running half baked not all the apps. I can install anything from android market but not from other places. So I gave up and sold it and picked up an Kindle myself. It comes out that if it doesn't have support form the devs then its crap. Don't matter what specs it has.

I have the kindle rooted and with adw ex and its perfect. The only thing bothers me is the lack of micro SD card. That's all.

Playbook has very nice hardware but no support so until it gets support its just a blackberry. That's all.

So I answered my own question :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenskeeper805:
Simple, BBOS is dead.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikahr:
From the wikipedia:

"Due to low demand for the Playbook, RIM took a $485 million write-off to account for offering price discounts."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ongoy:
You can't flash custom roms on a Playbook. That's why.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amacx86:
Playbook

I almost bought a blackberry playbook several times. Was pretty tempted when the 64gb version went on super sale. In the end, the problem was the app store. There simply are too many missing apps for the playbook compared to both the iPad/iPod, and android market...and the android player has some significant limitations. Add to that the delay of the new Playbook OS 2 that was supposed to be out by devcon and was delayed till (at least) February and that was the nail in the coffin.

The issue with that device has never been the (superb) hardware, it's been RIM and the software side...

...and honestly, I'd be surprised if this time next year the Playbook is still being manufactured. Amazon has probably sold more Kindle Fires in December alone than the Playbook has sold since inception (that's just a guess, but I'd put money on it).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicesight:
I read something about it. It's because BB doesn't allow you to write in the boot sector, right? I always hope that someone will find a workaround.

I was recently gifted a playbook, thanks to developers' program. I personally think that both playbook/kindle simply lack of Android :)

Having it like a natively installed it is way better than having it emulated on Android Play. This is why I haven't even turned up yet. Sell or keep? This is the question!

ps:

sorry for having unburied an old thread, I didn't noticed the date :/
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shravbits:
Well, it may have better specs, but you cant beat Amazon's services. And Blackberry OS doesn't cut it for me. I HATE Blackberry OS and I hate the brand itself. I have had and used many of blackberry devices and I cant stand them
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anantshri:
Since thread is resurrected i will put my thoughts also.

1) Native Android

2) QNX still is a minority OS in market.

3) android inside the emulator is still a lot more to go.

4) COST

5) LOTS and LOTS of DEVS

6) AMAZON books and prime
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scizzer85:
I waited before getting any tablet. I ended up choosing the Kindle Fire for a few reasons.

1. Amazon (use it entirely too much)

2. Reading at night (reason I went with KF and not basic kindle)

3. Not too large or expensive (iPad is just too much and Galaxy as well)

4. I knew I was flexible in being able to root it and do what I want

Reasons I went with KF over Playbook...

1. Since I got my KF recently I was fortunate enough to know Blackberry is a dying breed

2. Root capabilities/flexibility

3. Amazon friendly (seriously I use this too much)

Those are my reasons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omid_freesky:
DarkyRom is capable of taking you to the settings by holding the toggles in it's notification bar

I use AxLor_HDBlog_Xlite because it's too small and fast and clear but I really need this function.

How can I add it?

For example: if you touch the Bluetooth or wifi toggles it will turn it on and off but if you hold it it will go directly to it's settings

Edit:-----------------

FOUND THE SOLUTION:

i tested (( 14 Toggle Status Bar )) that originally belongs to ROCKET ROM and it worked Perfectly.

- you can choose between/up to 14 toggles to have in your notification bar (there is a setting for it)

- by holding any toggle you go to their settings (which i really love)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leechoonhwee:
This require you to decompile some of the framework files, make the code changes and then recompile it in order for you to do that. Usually you have to do it for every ROM that you use because it needs the framework-res.apk from that specific ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omid_freesky:
Well do you know what to do to which?

Like an instruction for the whole thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leechoonhwee:
No, I dun but I know the files are framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. Once you used apktools to decompile these files, you need to search for the correct xml to edit and add in extra actions to do when the user long press on the icons. As these are not default actions, you need to add in the action class yourself.

I havent try to research anything in this area yet but I'm sure Google can find you an answer ;)

Hello all !

My friend has a problem with his Neo V. When he takes a photo, it doesn't save on SD card. All gallery is empty, but he took a lot of pics. We were trying to solve it with other cards but the problem still exist.

I recommended him to flash other ROM, but he's afraid of a brick. And I can't find any offical ROM for Neo V.

What we should do with it? Any suggestions?

Best regards.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] imranaryan:

Try a simple factory reset.

When installing an official ROM through non-official ways, you can also brick your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifox1987:
For some reason the notification sound and vibrate won't work on my Galaxy Nexus for long periods of time even though they are set to. It doesnt matter what the notification is for, text message, facebook, gmail, etc I will not get a sound or a vibrate to let me know, just the LED will flash. It will be like this for hours and then work for a bit and then stop working again! What is going on? I'm running stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karallam:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Go into settings that are in the sms app and select vibrate always, it will be way at the bottom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifox1987:
For me I have absolutely no clue what the problem is. I know its not settings because I have looked everywhere plus it goes back and forth between working for a bit and not working for a long time all on its own. I've even tried a factory reset and the problem persists. Could it be a hardware issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bovineyard:
Same problem for me, vibrates for phone calls, and when shutting down, also when turning volume down, but not for any other notifications. (Yes, I set all the individual settings to "vibrate".) Must be a bug with the phone, lots of others are complaining about this problem as well. Hopefully this will be fixed with an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Have you looked here in the sms settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifox1987:
So I know this thread is pretty old but I never did find a solution to this problem and thus got rid of my Galaxy Nexus and went to an iphone for a while. I have a galaxy Nexus again and am having the exact same problem. I have done everything everyone has suggested and trust me it has nothing to do with settings. For a while notifications will work as they are supposed to but then they will suddenly stop working properly (won't vibrate or make the sound) until i reboot the phone and then it will work for a short period before not working again. I've tried a factory reset and all that fun stuff and nothing helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] john631:
Sound Manager V2 worked for me

Same issue here, and Sound Manager V2 fixed the vibration issue for me. Had every vibrate setting I could find set to always vibrate and yet my phone would only vibrate on the vibrate only setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 10SE:
I hate to bump an old thread... but, it perfectly explains my issue. Has anyone ever discovered the cause or a fix for this? All of my settings are properly enabled. The issue seems to occur any time I switch the phone to "vibrate" mode, using either the volume rocker or the power menu. Whenever I try and turn the volume back up (again, either via volume rocker or power menu), notifications stop completely, except for the notification light. Reboot fixes the issue each time. But, it's very frustrating, and reminiscent of the BlackBerry days of battery pulls. Ugh!
