[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ghanada:
I 100% agree that the HTC Flyer/View is an amazing tablet. I owned the nook tablet for about 2 weeks until the update came out. Once I realized that B&N is going to continue to actively try and stop hacking I decided it wasn't worth the uphill battle for the life of the NT. I found a brand new Best Buy HTC Flyer on Craigslist for $280, about the same price as the NT after tax.

The HTC Flyer IMO is much snappier than the NT and I like the look and feel of it better than NT. I didn't think I would like the HTC Flyer from reviews, pics, and videos, but in person it is awesome. I really do think it is faster than the NT in general purposes. Battery life and screen are equivalent to NT. Basically, the NT is a little lighter and a little thinner but I think the build quality is better on the Flyer. The dual-core 1.0 GHz vs single-core 1.5 GHz is really a toss up, especially since the NT isn't running HC or ICS yet. HTC just released an official HC update. Also it has a fully active digitizer stylus that destroys the capacitive pens on any other tablet.

Alas, if the NT had the same hacking abilities as the NC, I would have kept it. I really like the NT and I am hoping this community outsmarts B&N. So with that, the HTC Flyer is a solid alternative if you want something similar with full android and no need for rooting.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flippage:
Just out of curiosity, what did 1.4.1 change that was bad enough to make you want to return it? I have no idea because I rooted mine right after the first boot and removed all the B&N stuff so that it's just a regular android tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Utrru:
Youre right. I forgot about the 7 inch plus. My store only carries the 8.9 and 10.1. XD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Utrru:
Breaks root, loses ability to sideload apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Then go back to 1.4.0 and block updates.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdajunkman:
I would just like to comment on Archos. I do not own a recent Archos device, but had one of their older media players. The firmware was garbage, the hardware sucked, and the support was non-existent. I bought it on sale from a different retailer, so unfortunately I was unable to return the device. It did have the factory warranty, however. I sent it back to get it fixed three times when the internal hard drive failed. Each time it took a month to get it back, and it broke again within four weeks. The fourth time it died, I gave up and threw the thing away. Horrible waste of money. I will never buy another Archos product again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NookieStackhouse:
That's a shame. I bought an Archos 20gb Jukebox Recorder back in 2002. I replaced the firmware with Rockbox opensource firmware, upgraded the batteries over time, and eventually put a larger HDD in it. It still runs and I use it as an external harddrive. I'd still be using it as my music player except I replaced it with a video iPod with Rockbox software a little while back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Holy ****, I never thought I'd see the name Rockbox again.

I remember having that on my Olympus m:robe 100 a few years ago. I remember getting it online when I was in the 8th grade, so that'd be early 2005, wow time flies.

With Rockbox, I could play pretty much anything I threw at it, FLAC files actually caused the UI to slow down haha. I think that was the very first device I learned how to 'hack' into and customize myself. Boot animations, menus, icons, all that stuff. Oh the memories...

It definitely set me up for when I got my first WM device (HTC 8125). That was my sophomore year of high school and I remember customizing that to look like the original iPhone when it was announced. I actually put a video on Youtube of me demo-ing it, and got some 100k+ hits along with a message box full of people asking how I did everything. I think I had to host the files 3-4 different times because I kept going over my bandwith.

Enough with me reminiscing though, back to working on my phone haha.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
Looked at the Acer Iconia

I'm going down the same path I went with MP3 players. I ended up buying around four different models (Rio, Creative, etc.) until I finally succumbed to the lure of Apple and got an iPod. I'm on my third tablet (Dell Streak 7, Nook Color and NT) and I was almost tempted to get rid of my NT to get an Acer Iconia, but I think I'm just going to wait it out with the NT until a company comes out with a pure Android at a reasonable price or until Apple comes out with a 7" iPad. The Iconia looked pretty good and it was only $10 more than a NT. If I had to do over again, I might have gone with the Acer.

It really is a shame what B&N did with the upgrade which prevented sideloading. My wife is not a big apps person but B&N selection is so limited plus she can't use her Amazon books that she's getting frustrated the NT, especially since she got used to sideloading. She didn't want me to root it but she's finally giving in. We were big B&N brick-n-mortal buyers but this is starting to give us the Netflix/Verizon "bad business decision" feeling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scknoll123:
How do you view attachments in a email on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It says I need to download ana app from the market but does not tell me which one, does anyone know?

Please help. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
The attachment is a file and you need the proper app to open it. For instance, if it's a .DOC file you will need Documents To Go or something similar, as there is no app included with the operating system that can do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scknoll123:
It was a video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Right, there's no video player by default :(

You can try to download Diceplayer - it has HW acceleration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
My SGN opens "office" attachments just fine with preinstalled thinkfree:)

As for videos, some can be opened in gallery, but it looks like few formats are supported. Any other video player from the market should be just fine:)

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Hello

I had the OG Droid and one of the reasons I bought the Droid RAZR was that it would PUSH sms messages to my car (2012 BMW X5).

But since the new SW update on the RAZR, this function stopped working. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a simple fix to this issue?

Thanks in advance,

dmoney98
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZolaSlo:
Maybe it's 2012 BMW X5's fault. Is it running on latest firmware?

br Zola
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Thanks Zola,

That is a posibillity, but the function was working before the RAZR software update and has stoped after the update.

So i really do not think it is the cars's firmware, that is causing the problem, but I will check.

Thanks

dmoney98
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
the BMW software is up to date. So the problem still resides in the latest Phone software update.

:mad:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mr.vercetti:
Have you tried another app to do this, maybe handcentsms can help you, or another one.

Waht is the error you receive when you try to enable the setting?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Hello

It is not an "App" issue. The RAZR BT Profile "MAP", used to push sms messages to my car. After the RAZR SW update, this feature has stopped. I do not see a visible error. Is there a way for me to see an error, if one occurs?

Thanks

dmoney98
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Guess what is working today !!!!???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SallyC:
Ha! And no idea what happened, I suppose?

Thanks for the update. Glad it's working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Now working !!!!

I tried a couple of things, not sure which worked.

1) Downloaded and ran an app call Bluetooth Fix Repair.

2) Rebooted phone, deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone. (do not think this fixed the issue.)

3) Later deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone after pairing car, went into Settings => Applications => Running Services and stopped the Bluetooth Dunning program.

4) deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone.

5) i didnt get a chance to test until today and Ive got text messages in my BMW Office from this past week.

WOW !!!!! NOW WORKING !!!!! :D

Now a question, how to delete "text messages" from BMW Office?

Thanks,

dmoney98
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
Guess whats working after JB update

Hello,

I had lost the bluetooth interface of SMS and email to BMW after the ICS software update.

But guess what is workiing AGAIN after i did the JB update (and the most recent BMW software update).

I started receiving SMS and emails through the car again.

I still have the problem of not knowing how to delete the messages from the car.

dmonmey98
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dmoney98:
YEAH !!!!!!! :D :D :D

after the JB update, i was having an issue with my email accounts, so I FDR and re-entered my email accounts and not the emails are fine on the phone So after the FDR, I had to re-pair the phone with the car and now guess what???!!!!!

I have Text meesages coming into the car (which i mentioned earlier).

I deleted a text message from the phone, and restarted the car, and the message is deleted from the car also.

BUT GUESS WHAT ELSE !!!!

I HAVE EMAILS COMING INTO THE CAR !!!!!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aleeeeeeeeex:
Hi, today I bought my N7000 from an online store. Everything nice, love it. Just that somehow it has the branding of the TIM from italy company (carrier). I rooted my phone using the method posted here, i have Superuser and everything. All i want is the TIM logo not to show on boot and poweroff, and normal android icons for everything. Is it too much to ask ? It runs Android 2.3.6 and Kernel version KA. Please help me. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Loftus:
You could try flashing a stock firmware with Odin. Kl7 seems to be doing well based on the feedback here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aleeeeeeeeex:
yes, but if i use odin, can I go back to the original roms and setting in case warranty is needed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcer:
if you already have cwm, you can do a backup of your stock rooted rom. then you can try Rocket rom v12- the speed is fantastic compared to kka stock rom. I suggest you do a wipe in cwm before flashing the new rom, otherwise you'll get boot loops. And of course, you should assume the risks;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aleeeeeeeeex:
sunt din Romania. Anyway, I just want stock. I tried to flash from CWM but it doesn't mount the sd card. it just counts down 20 secs and stops. I already created a backup up, but when i tried to load it, same countdown issue. Any ideas? it's CWM 5.0.2.7
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcer:
do u have a micro sd card in the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aleeeeeeeeex:
Problem solved. Thank you for the interest shown. Happy New Year! !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcer:
if you can, please share what was the solution

happy new year!

*does official Chinese MIUI Rom support English

I know there is English one but the Chinese one support update packages

witch means that you don't have to download the whole rom after each MIUI release

*and if not how can I translate it to English
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrQozY:
Please I need an answer

Up Up up
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaloMediaz:
I think it does not. I baseing that on the fact that there is a translated version into english. If it would support english there would be no need for an english version.

Check the MIUI sites is your best bet. No support for it here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lancair360:
I love this Strongsteve odex blue ROM and have been tweaking it for a couple of weeks.

Is it possible to keep the 5 icon dock but switch the app drawer to 4X4? The app drawer just looks a little too busy to me with a 5X5 setup.

Thank in advance to anyone who might know how to do this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Not that I have seen. Its one or the other. Sorry.!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lancair360:
Thanks

The workaround I found was to use launcher pro (This preserves all of the blue icons in Strongsteves ROM) and the only difference is the app drawer scrolls vertically. But I keep the 5 icon dock and get a 4X4 app drawer.

I am happy with this workarpound. Life is good :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I use launcher pro and my drawer scrolls horizontally. check your setting, i dont prefer vertical anymore lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
There is a zip linked in the original post on the ROM thread that will switch the TW back to the regular method.

That should do exactly what you need!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
What do you guys set it at?

For those that are unaware you can find it here:

Settings > Developer Options > Background Process Limit

Anyways, I just want to gauge what XDA users do with this. I often set mine to "At most 3 processes" as oppose to the standard limit but I don't really see a difference. I assume the standard limit is Google's designed way to deal with apps in the background but that doesn't really tell us much.

Anyone have any observations on battery life or performance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meaple:
I guess the battery life wouldn't be much better than normal. Android deals with background processes pretty well so I've not bothered to change this option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tailsthecat3:
Simple and plain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatila:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tailsthecat3:
Is it? I can't tell. The app asked me something...I didn't get it.

Someone delete me.

I suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samiusmc:
I keep trying to set mine to 4 but every time I reboot the phone, it sets back to the standard limit. Is this happening to everyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AfroCreame:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Like I said in the other thread about this. Don't monkey around with those settings. They're meant for developers to troubleshoot the ways that their apps handle being put into the background and how they are managed when they're killed.

Android will handle your background processes. Just let them be. You'll be better off all around by doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaaaaaam:
i set mine to 3, but how many process in standard limit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
I think there is not limit, app gets killed when phone runs out off free RAM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
do not change that setting unless you like having worse battery life from apps having to constantly restart and lag from apps not being in cache.

I don't see why anyone except a developer trying to troubleshoot their apps would change this setting at all

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

it is SUPPOSED to do this.

it isn't meant to be something any regular user sets in order to try and get better performance or anything.

in fact, just the opposite may happen

If you purchased the dock separately, the serial number should be on the back of the box.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
Hey guys, I'll start out by apologizing if this is already known or a repost, but I did some digging and couldn't come up with anything.

I've been playing with my new lapdock for the past couple of days, and one of my key concerns was the lack of a headphone out on the device. I spent some time here researching without any luck, eventually just deciding that I could live without it.

What I hadn't thought to try was using the headphone on the Atrix. I was assuming that when the phone is docked, it bypasses the audio out on the phone. Turns out this isn't true, and I am quite pleased about it. Plug your headphones into the phone, and it will reroute all audio back through them without going to the dock.

I can't say this works on all setups, but I'm running Gingermod#3 and webtop 2.3.6 with faux's 1.45 kernal, and it works perfectly.

Hopefully this helps some of you who might have had the same questions I did.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jl449:
Thanks Dudeman!

I just got my lapdock today and I was looking for the audio port out on the lapdock. I thought I was SOL until I saw your thread.

As for the lapdock - seems a little slugish but it gets the surfing done! I'm running all stock unrooted-- what is webtop 2.3.6?

Writing this on the lapdock and so far the mouse cursor locked up twice. closing the lid and reopening the screen unlocks the cursor. Still dig this lapdock. It will come in handy surfing at the local cafe house.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonez565:
I can confirm that for every webtop install i've tried the headphone jack on the phone will work to route all audio through, the main thing to realize is that the lapdock is just a case that holds a screen keyboard speakers and usb hub the Atrix is the computer and will react as one would generally expect.

Also jl449, webtop 2.3.6 is the number for a fruitcake (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163009) version that has an updated version of Firefox and can be further hacked to be a full linux install. However to install it you'd need to modify the software on your phone a bit from the stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teddat:
apparently there's contrast and color differences between my brother's GSM and my CDMA Galaxy nexus.

Both phones are newest pushed OTA updates. CDMA is more washed out. anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
I don't think it's necessarily CDMA vs GSM. I bought GSM phones for my wife and I, and they have different screens just like your pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teddat:
so its luck of the draw I guess. :( I perfer the higher contrast screen. what amoled is supposed to be.

it could also be v 4.0.1 vs. 4.0.2? if you notice the top of the screens have high contrast. only the middle and bottom are washed out perhaps by the changed gradient each os version uses?

bedoig, can you check to see if both your gsm phones are running the same OS version? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
I noticed the difference on mine right out of the box with both running 4.0.1. The difference is so striking though, that I'm thinking maybe it is software related. Especially since, like you said, the contrast in areas like the notification bar looks fine. The settings screen in particular is dramatically different in color. It's weird.

Edit - I haven't checked the build on my wife's phone. Mine's yakju, need to check hers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sevans21:
I don't have a pic handy but I noticed the same thing between my GSM and Verizon models. I even returned the Verizon for an unrelated problem and the new model is also much worse than the GSM. 4.01 to 4.02 didn't seem to make any difference with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
I have noticed on my GSM that the screen when displaying blacks doesn't turn off like the SGS2 did, do you think this is different for all devices or something that is true of the Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsekh501:
I think the monitors of the GSM and CDMA version are the same. At least the same as in model number.

But Samsung AMOLED screens are not known for consistency. With every release of their Galaxy phone, forums like this one are full of complaints about monitor quality inconsistency. There are pictures on the web showing a number of GSM Galaxy Nexus', all have slightly different satuation, contrast, and color temperature.

new technology guys. geez. there's still millions of people out there that think plasma burn in easily still. and iphone fanboys that think apple invented the smartphone. get over it or get another phone or another phone. simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herr Bauhaus:
Last year I bought two Nexus S (one for my wife and one for me) at the same time (Best Buy 12/16, release day). The difference between the two screens was/is amazing. Despite buying two phones at the same time, presumably from the same batch, and all settings and firmware the same, her screen is much brighter and has much less yellow tint than mine. So maybe it is true that there is quite a variation between SAMOLED screens...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrbkkt1:
I had 2 Nexus ones. There was a considerable difference in screens, I chalked it up to amoled being new technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
nexus one had two different version screens. amoled and slcd because of amoled shortage. many other phones have had two versions but i forget which. i think nexus s had slcd variant also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herr Bauhaus:
In my case they were both 9020T, SAMOLED versions, not 1x 9020 SAMOLED and 1x 9023 SLCD. Just like the OP the screen specs are identical but with much visually noticeable difference in practice.
