[Galaxy S II General] iNeedICS:
Dude its ICS and touch wiz lags! And takes too long to load!

Built in task managers no biggie Cuz they have apps for that

The call slider thing can be used in dialer apps

And the brightness thing is not a biggie to me

Don't get me wrong touch wiz is beautiful

But it's the only thing in the way from all galaxy s owners getting the original ICS and I'm pretty sure 90% of us want that over touchwiz

And don't forget that u can get touch wiz in different roms so it's still an option if they do remove it ;)

in my opinion tw contacts is more useful than ics people app. At least for now. it could be better with fb integration.

[Galaxy S II General] lovercannes:
i think TW is good but there so much alternative more efficient ... and now everyone is focus on ICS ... maybe a new version can change the game
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
Now, when i'm on fully stock touchwiz rom android 2.3.3, i can say, that touchwiz is amazing, much-much better then some custom roms.
[Galaxy S II General] ivkos:
Basically, I like TouchWiz but just on Gingerbread. Gingerbread itself looks kinda ugly (imho). However ICS is really polished, looks nice and doesn't need TW. It just doesn't fit...
[Galaxy S II General] totocheku:
I hate TouchWiz because it just mimic iPhone UI and doesn't feel like androidish!
[Galaxy S II General] sun-drop:
im not a fan of how they have removed contacts from the TW phone app!!

grr .. before you could go into the phone app, then contacts, and txt some one ... now you need seperate shortcuts to get to yr peeps to txt or call
[Galaxy S II General] knights.JayTana:
if there's one UI for Android that i wont tinker/replace/mod; itll be SENSE... TW is like a kiddie tool for me; though very functional...

UI is more of a personal preference; im a guy who wants to tnker my phone from time to time; if you ask me TW is just plain boring with kiddish looks...
[Galaxy S II General] burimii:
+1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qgmIC1ESZE , and i can say i hate TW a lot , Sense 4.0 makes more sense now

Touchwiz always reload after app start or app kill so it consum more accu as a none refrash lauchner like go launcher or adw ororororor

touchwiz i dont like , i like pure google ICS :p
[Galaxy S II General] simbesh:
Nova launcher ftw?
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I do understand why some people dislike touchwiz but I don't think it merits all the bashing it receives. I actually appreciate the extra functionality it brings. It's quite functional. Not awesome, but decent. If there's something to be praised, it's the smoothness and simplicity of the launcher and the video codecs.

Any NYC T-Mobile USA owners getting 3G on their Samsung galaxy note using 1900MHz/850MHz HSPA+ 84?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
The Note would need to have the 1.7 Ghz Module accessible, while the hardware is capable, the drivers/software has not been developed to allow support. You need both 2.1 GHz and 1.7GHz to make T-Mobile 3g work. 1700MHz band (actually its 1710MHz -1755MHz) is the upload freq, and the 2100MHz band (2110MHz - 2155MHz) the download. You need both or T-Mobile will kick the phone into Edge only(850Mhz).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Croak:
What is this I don't even...

The Note is not an AWS-capable device, and the hardware does not support it. Band IV (AWS) will never work. Ever.

Nope. I'm still only getting EDGE in/near NYC. And slow EDGE at that.

I've been switching back and forth between my T-Mobile SIM and an AT&T mvno SIM. I'm getting decent speeds with the latter but dreaming T-Mobile will come through with the 1900mhz 3G.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
Any updates on this? Some markets like Pittsburgh have this already right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ourtech:
I keep hearing end of the year. My understanding is that T-Mobile is working to get current 2G users off the 1900Mhz band before refarming can occur. They had a pilot program in a couple of markets and there was some rumbling of a national rollout of that program possibly in September. I follow this very closely and there is still nothing concrete. I just asked about this in a T-Mobile store and they said they are expecting further information, but nothing yet, They are moving as quickly as they can as they need the iPhone and can't get it until the refarm is done.

I bought a KomputerBay Class 6 32 GB card. I am wondering what people here think of the brand? I did some write benchmarks by copying a 204.8 (base 10) megabyte file to the card from my computer. I compared to a MicroCenter Class 4 8 GB card.

The KomputerBay card doesn't seem a lot faster and seems more variable in its performance.

(I tested that the card works fully by filling it with data and reading a few of the files, so I verified it really is a 32GB card and not a fake.)
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
Anyone have experiences with this brand?
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
bump .....
[HTC Sensation] mrew42:
I've been using the same card for some time now (6 months) and as you say it does appear variable. Worst at bootup when it does take a while to settle down and 'find' all the apps i've moved to SD. However I have just installed ICS (ARHD 5.0.1) and using System Tuner pro I set the Cache size to 3072. Feels much slicker overall now.

Overall for the price I'm quite happy with it :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
I've emailed the dev for ADW EX several times since the v1.3.3.56 update, but he hasn't responded. However, I also have searched the forum and read the Nook Color forums daily and haven't noticed anyone else commenting on this at all, so I'm hoping there's a setting or a combination of settings that's causing my issues.

Prior to the 1.3.3.56 update, when I rotated my Nook Colors (I was configuring four of them for Xmas presents) the fancy black dock would always stay on the bottom of the screen (whether landscape or portrait). With the new version, the dock stays on the bottom in portrait mode, but when I rotate it to landscape it stays on the right side of the screen and the icons simply rotate. On my Honeycomb tablet everything works as usual, so it appears that the new version of ADW EX thinks that my Nook Colors are phones rather than tablets. Is there something I can do to trick ADW EX into thinking that the Nook Color is a Honeycomb tablet? Is it a resolution/DPI thing? I've gone through every menu in the ADW EX config and don't see anything about a setting that will fix this. And again, it didn't happen with the prior versions...the whole dock just rotated to the bottom of the screen regardless of orientation.

As a temp "fix", I have a Titanium Backup of the old version of ADW EX, but when I restore that I end up with the Market reminding my children that there's an update, usually announced along with several other app updates, so they end up just updating ADW EX again. Is there a way to stop only ADW EX from reminding about updates...like EVER...until (if) the dev ever fixes this problem in a future release?

For the time being, I moved on to VTL Launcher (which is also ADW based), but for simplicity sake, I'd really like to have all the tablets in the house running the same launcher with relatively identical configurations.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Even just a confirmation of sanity that this is happening to others would be appreciated, so that I can pass it on to the dev that it's actually happening to someone else besides me!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
FWIW: I see the same thing running ADW EX on rooted B&N 1.4.1. I didn't find an option to over-ride the behavior. There are options for a floating dock that you might try. I know a lot of dock changes were a big part of the latest update.

Personally, I turn OFF the bloody dock altogether on my tablet. The ability to do so was my main driver in going to ADW EX, in fact. On a phone, I need to get to "phone" things from any screen, but not on my NC. Keeping it on the short edge makes sense for one-handed operation.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milliman:
I have the same thing going on, but now I like the dock on the right side becayse it takes up less space. I have not found any setting to change its location in the new version.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
Same here I thought it was normal till I saw this thread .:p

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
Alright, thanks folks. Looks like I'm either using the old version, removing the dock entirely, or waiting for the dev to fix what he broke in the latest version. In the meantime I am really liking VTL launcher. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of ADW EX, but it's still very nice and the dock stays on the bottom of the screen.

Edit: Solved it (at least temporarily). I just restored a backup of the previous version and then used the Detach from Market option in Titanium Backup to eliminate future prompts to upgrade to the "broken" current version. As long as it doesn't somehow re-attach to the Market (some people have reported apps doing that), I should be all good...at least temporarily. Hope the dev fixes it soon.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcparry:
Same here, I like it on the bottom no matter my screen orientation. Cannot use VT Launcher due to being on ICS. I LOVE ADW, but it annoys me with the dock on the right. It's a...DOCK, you don't plug a dock into the right side of an electronic device, it goes ont he bottom haha. And I like the new look of the new version dock too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] internetpilot:
Yeah, and the dev still hasn't fixed it -- rather annoying since his "upgrade" broke it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
You will need another tablet, laptop, or smartphone with wifi to do this test I have done the test with two primes on 4 different routers all with the same result the primes drop/lose the WiFi signal to all the routers 5-15 ft before other WiFi devices.

To do the test simply keep walking your non prime WiFi device away from your router until you find it drops the signal you may need to keep refreshing available Wifi networks when it drops off this is the deadspot then find the area where your other WiFi devices will connect but with only 1 signal strength once you find this spot see if the Prime will pickup the WiFi network in this same spot I have not been able to on 4 different routers the range is always weaker with the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Dude, do you think we don't got enough topics about this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Actually no there is no poll for this only the GPS it would be nice to know if some Primes might have a different WiFi adapter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
For the people saying their Primes WiFi is just as good please list the model # of your routers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've done a similar test. after reading wifi issues I made sure to test mines. my prime wifi range is on par or even better in some instances than my Ipad 1. you have to remember also that router/network settings might be affecting Prime. they was a guy in another thread that his prime was getting slower speeds than his PC and phone. he eliminated the problem down to his router. his router was dual broadcasting with one being the 5Ghz channel that prime doesn't support. sometimes this messes with primes reception or whatever or download/upload speeds. so he cut off the 5ghz channel. now his Prime consistently gets same download speeds and range as his other devices. also wifi strength fluctuates no matter what device. there was times where my prime pulled alot faster download speeds than my Ipad.

I think this is a good test though to test reception strength. if other devices are android, you could easily just use wifi analyzer app to see n hear the strength of signal. remember though, eliminate all variables before just blaming the product. because network/router settings can have major impact on wifi performance.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
apps are great but nothing is more accurate then simple real world tests of where the WiFi signal totally drops out with another WiFi device then seeing if te Prime hits the same range. As far as variables and different routers etc I agree with you but my tests on 4 different routers have showed conclusively that my Primes WiFi range falls short of 5 different WiFi devices I tested (2 smartphones, 2 laptops, and a smartphone).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
while this may prove true for your situation, your poll shows a far greater margin of people having NO wifi issues. in case you haven't noticed..lol :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
Id also be willing to bet my paycheck they didnt do the test properly if at all. People who are just voting based on the fact that they can connect to their WiFi network in their home with no problem and while the WiFi issue is not a very big deal because its only 10 ft or so range difference it still shows the aluminum backing is probably the reason for the slightly weaker WiFi signal not because ASUS found a problem with a perticular WiFi adapter and started putting different WiFi adapters in the Primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
why is it always when something negative about the prime, people think they 100% correct or something? but as soon as we counter with the positives, its like oh No, we nor doing it right or testing it right. lmao. that's funny

I still think this a good real world test. its definitely going in favor of prime not having a wifi issue now ;)

Same for you. You're the one who is aggressive when someone says something about the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
I dont think you even bothered to read or understand what I am saying so I will rephrase it. The Prime does not have a WiFi problem it simply has a slightly lower range then other WiFi devices again this is not a concern people should be worried about stop getting your panties in a bunch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:

care to provide a link to the thread that discusses specifically the WiFi RANGE of the Prime because I cant find it I think you just get butt hurt when you think someone is saying anything negative at all about the Prime.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
You would be surprised how big of a deal this could actually be to some people it could be the difference between being able to use your tablet in your kitchen to being able to lay in your bed and use it obviously every situation is different but it would be very possible..... Luckily though they make things called range extenders and or repeaters that can be setup to repeat the WiFi signal to cover any deadspots you might have in your house..... I personally recommend the EnGenious range extender that can be found on Newegg for $40 if anyone is interested :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
I tested again today at a public WiFi hotspot from my car I think this confirms the backing is the reason the GPS doesnt work properly.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jarbings:
Calm down all,

you are all comparing a very difficult to handle thing in an emotional manner. This is always bad. Wireless signals are not following exacts paths and are difficult to reproduce. So first thing i would recommend is that you post the AccessPoint Type/Model or router Type/Model with the issue and then also the other devices that you tested with. Also make sure the devices are in the EXACT same location during the whole test. Just try it with a phone or a laptop two times, first one in "normal" position and then tur it by 90 degrees in any direction and test again. I would say you will see a big difference. Also test every device at least three times and build an average and compare that.

I will post my results in the next days, comparing Samsung i9000 with Tf101 and Tf201 and an Intel 5300 Wifi adapter.

For Signal reception it is good to use Wifi Analyzer from the market. For real throughput use iPerf from the market and test it against a wired machine in your home network. Using iPerf is no rocket science it is well documented. Just start it with -s at one side and connect from the other device with -c <IP-Address> of the first device. iperf -help will show you all parameters.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jarbings:
So now here i am:

Testing all devices against an Cisco Enterprise class 300 MBits capable AP, which ends up with around 105-110 TCP throuhput with iPerf with an Intel WLAN-Card in a Laptop.

But we are here to compare something different:

1. Samsung i9000 17.5 MBits per second

(-60dBm Wifi Analyzer, 65 MBits connection rate with Wifi-Widget, Ap sees RSSI-63)

2. Asus TF101 17.1 MBits per second

(-44dBm Wifi Analyzer, 72 MBits connection rate with Wifi-Widget, Ap sees RSSI-52)

3. Asus TF201 14.95 MBits per second

(-47dBm Wifi Analyzer, 72 MBits connection rate with Wifi-Widget, Ap sees RSSI-58)

I was running iPerf three times with the -t 30 parameter and post the average results here.

Dont you think the signal bars calculation for each device is different?

You better measure the number, the signal strength in db using wifi analyzer.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
now this is The Real test. this should be the baseline testing methods to use. plus I think in the only one who posted router info...lol. with your test exact results can be pinpointed. the op method has too many other factors influencing results plus didn't test multiple times. you could stand in one place with a single device, run op testing method back to back and get different results.

like I said, what you posted makes a lot more sense and a better testing method with lil room for errors.
