[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
give it a little to regroupitself or reboot it again to see if it clears this. is this a repaired prime sent to you or a completely new and different one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimbob1971:
This is the brand new, one of a kind, just released here in the UK one which arrived this morning. :D

I'm glad the glitching is nothing, but rebooting the Prime didn't have any affect. Battery still 0%, and the tablet doesn't realise the charger is connected still. Even did a factory reset to no avail. Ah well. They are very scarce over here and are not actually due out until the 12th so I've got a few weeks to wait before I can receive a replacement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Mine has done this since day one. A little disconcerting...but I don't see a correlation to any other issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Currently on the Sprint Galaxy SII, running a great ROM and ICS theme. Point being I like this device alot.

But...Sprint service is very very slow, 3G is 1x Edge speeds, and 4G WiMax is a gimmick, very spotty and hard to hold a connection if you can find one.

Now Verizon is known as the best network for quality and speeds, etc...and the Galaxy-Nexus is the latest newest Android out, with updates received first.

Pricing plans seem pretty similar, actually Verizon might be a hair cheaper on the family plan.

Opinion ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
There are really two questions here, and they both have answers all over the Q&A section. GSII vs. Nexus, and Sprint vs. Verizon.

I have never been a Sprint user, but I get very fast and stable speeds on Verizon. I haven't had the signal hangups that people are reporting, either. If pricing for service was the same, I would go with Verizon in any case.

I personally would rather have the connection with Google, NFC, etc., than the better camera and powerful GPU. Plus, I love the way the phone feels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Thanks for the input. I think my question is more of a Sprint vs Verizon, I know the Galaxy-Nexus is more of a side grade compared to the Galaxy SII, both phones have their advantages over each other.

I am just unhappy with Sprint's 3G speeds and 4G being so crappy. Plus Sprint has poor coverage in the outer burbs of Chicago, like my Parents and Sister's house Sprint has like almost no connection in their area. Pricing wise they are good, but surprisingly the Verizon family plan would be just about the same price, actually a hair cheaper on Verizon, BUT...Verizon does not offer free any mobile to any mobile phone calls like Sprint and ATT offer.

But I keep reading about Sprint's network plan for 2012/2013, and sounds like MAJOR improvements coming, but that is all maybe and possibly. And when will that actually happen in the real world ? Like improved 3G speeds they need to fix A.S.A.P. Sprint's 3G is by far the worst on all U.S. carriers, I am shocked at how bad it is. The past 18 months I get at best 150k/sec downloads, where T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon all get like 1mb/sec, almost ten times faster. And LTE is no comparison to WiMax.

Hmm...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidstyle:
Well I believe you answered your own question....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RickROM:
I switched from T-Mobile and couldn't be happier. I have less minutes and less texts, but I have way more reception.

I can actually use my phone now and the speed is an added bonus. Do it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Birdsfan:
I bought my GSM GNEX SIM free and am running on TMoUSA. My data speeds are VERY fast and while I don't disagree Verizon overall has the best coverage, for me in the areas I travel I have no issues. My family plan is unlimited everything and I know VZ would be no where near my price point, if they offered unlimited everything. Choose your carrier based on needs not on the phone. BTW my company phone is with Sprint and the data speeds are a joke.

You don't need to reflash the kernel. You use recoveryNeo.img which is for Hot Boot only. It BOOTS in to CWM ONCE. You then use rootxperia.zip via CWM and the next time you boot everything is stock + root.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Hi! I'm currently an android user and am looking to possibly move to the Windows phone side. I am currently waiting on my Lumia 800 to be delivered, but have a few questions about contact syncing

I currently have my contacts on gmail and android syncs to it as expected. What I miss is the ability to have a local copy in my desktop outlook (non-exchange), so I usually download from gmail once a month and overwrite my outlook contacts (since gmail is almost always up-to-date because of my phone)

Reading about this on microsoft's site, it looks like I can sync up my outlook to my live account (using hotmail connector which I already use).

Question 1 - is this a one time sync (between live acct and desktop outlook)? Or does it sync back and forth if there are changes in either location? (I assume/expect that the WP7 will make sure that the phone and live acct will always be in sync regardless of where I make changes).

In other words, will my phone, live acct and outlook contacts be in perfect sync?

Question 2 - If I have my gmail account set up in WP7 people hub, will it show me duplicate contacts (that I will have to manually link)? Or will it be able to synchronize my contacts between gmail and live as well?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicoscy:
if i remember well from 9 months ago when i did this

answer 1: it is one time sync

answer 2: it will link them together but not sync them

Actually, there might be a possibility to boost GPU performence, but GPU aint whats cause lag in sense 3.5, its low ram.

The people at Desire's Department actually boosted their GPU from 29FPS to 37-38FPS (Desire's GPU is Adreno 200) With something called GPU+

The people at HTC boosted the HTC Explorer's GPU (Adreno 200) to 58FPS

I have the Galaxy nexus unlocked and am using it on T-mobile USA, it seems like i am getting 4G (HSPA) coverage less than when I was using my G2X. I was wondering if anyone else was feeling this way? I was also wondering if anyone has gone into the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) under Phone info and experimented with changing the Preferred network type at all? I am currently set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) i tried changing it to WCDMA prefered, but it wont stick. I know we have done that in the past for other T-mobile 4G phones to tell the phone to always connect to 4G unless no 4G signal is present.

i too feel like its bad signal on the nexus, i changed to wcdma only though

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lightninman:
I've had no problems with the GN on T-Mobile's network without changing any of the internal settings. In both New York and Arizona I've been getting 3 - 5 Mbps consistently, with peaks of up to 7 Mbps.

One thing I've noticed is that the radio switches to 3G when I'm not using data, but when I load a webpage or ask for data it switches to HSPA+. This is probably to save the battery life, so I'm not complaining.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigMomma11:
This seems a relevant place. I just bought my GSM Nexus yesterday on Amazon and got it today. T-Mobile SIM card plugged in, I get terrible reception. I have no signal at all where I'm sitting, whereas my Vibrant and my G2 both had at worst 3G connection.

I'm not a clever man, but I know something is up. I haven't rooted or done anything to my phone. Is there something that I must do to get the phone to work properly?

To reiterate: I have done absolutely nothing but put in the SIM card.

To my knowledge, an experienced Android user would properly exit an application by backing out of it, but I've seen many people use the home button for this.

I've had my AT&T Galaxy S II for about a month now and I've used the home button less than ten times (keeping an app open or exiting if back didn't work).

how often do you use it?
[Android General] Deleted member 3029789:
I usually use the home button to exit an app, so I do it all the time. I only use the back button if I need to go backwards in an application. It's faster for me that way.
[Android General] xly15:
I have to agree with mrhaxx. I use the home button all the time to exit an application. I have never had a problem with an app staying running in the background by doing that. Android is usually pretty good about exiting the app like that.

[Android General] Gutana:
I'll usually back out of it, unless I want to keep it running.

I've used the home button more often to enter recovery then to exit an app. :D
[Android General] antonio1475:
Same here. I try to press Back button, but many times I have to use Home button:

·I know I will have to press Back a lot of times (many websites in browser for example)

·More times than I wish, an app just won't exit pressing Back, so I have to press Home.

I'm in rehab of using task killers though.. haha

:)
[Android General] ThemBonesAreMe:
really depends on the app.

For example, the default SMS app on my phone will keep the last thread i opened on to. If I don't back out of it on exit, I'll have to do it anyway later, so I usually use the back button for that. for other stuff, I usually use the home button.
[Android General] KJ7409:
I like when I have to press it a lot, then i can spam it like a mad man haha
[Android General] Byrono:
When you press the home button it sometimes doesn't close the app so it will waste a lot of ram.
[Android General] jr67:
I always use the back button to exit an app. The home button just takes you to the home page and if your app is still doing something it will continue to remain active and when its done doing whatever it's doing it will be cached. But I think it all depends on how well the app was written.
[Android General] Dirk:
No, the only way RAM is 'wasted' is when it's not being used.
[Android General] .xxx.:
even if you press home button for exiting apps, it really doesnt exit the app at that moment in time ... it exits the app only when free space is required .. and yeah i use the home button for exiting the apps :D :D
[Android General] Futuredarky:
Sometime I press the homebutton to exit a application and then click on the shotcut ''end all apps'' from my taskmanager on the homescreen. This method is the fast because some apps you must click to much ''back'' to exit it.

I wouldn't use the end all apps in the task manager...i've read bad things about them.
[Android General] crazycatlady:
I use the back button mostly, unless its the browser. I've also heard a lot of bad about task killers lately, so I use it only to check what's running. Ics seems to be much better at ending apps than previous versions of android.

Task killers explained :P http://droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-should-i-use-a-task-killer/

I use the home button all the time, it was designed to be used all the time, and I like to use android in the way it was made to be used :P

I typically reserve back button usage for when I want to stay within an app, or go back to an old app, e.g. clicking a twitter link opens the page in the browser, pressing back takes me back to the tweet.
[Android General] 309041291a:
i use to back out a lot in gingerbread, to clear the app from the background. Upon updating to ICS i use the home button so much more, probably because of how well the new multitasking closes it's processes.
[Android General] baineteo:
I just the back button partly to minimize the wear and tear of the home button.. Haha..

But honestly, most of the time I don't really notice a difference. Not that huge, anyway. I usually only use the home button when I'm in the middle of something in that app and I need to get to another app..

But after discovering Swipepad, I seldom use the home button these days.
