[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Is there any way someone on here could post a zipped stock build.prop for me? I'm trying to get VVM installed on CM7 and didn't backup my stock ROM before flashing. So I don't have access to the stock build.prop anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
You know you can download a rom like stock rooted 2.3.6 and pull the build prop from it right?

Yes. But I was hoping to avoid that because my SD card is too full to run a CWM backup first. I could offload a bunch of stuff, but I was really just hoping somebody might help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Ok hang on ill upload it in like 20 min
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Here ya go. I changed the entension to pdf for easy upload. So just download it and change it back to prop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Thank you so much. You really saved me some time. Still no luck getting AT&T VVM installed though. I've tried sideloading the apk, restoring the app from Titanium, and even adding it as a system app, but no luck. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't VVM work on CM7? Or does that fact that this is a converted T-989 build have something to do with it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treehumper:
My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).

The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.

Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.

Leave the rom alone because everything works.

From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
Infused 2.2.3 and s7 was the best for me when i was on froyo.

Fully customizable Galnet Miui
[Samsung Infuse 4G] albee320:
s7. I never had any issues with that ROM. Or gsinfuse....Had great battery too
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphone4:
Cm7 is great. Simple and easy and fast
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
But bt doesn't work properly on aosp roms (cm7 and miui) if your mom needs simple and stable...infused 2.2.3 or s7....I would recommend one of mine but mine have alot of add one and tweaks and are really for advanced users...like I said infused 2.2.3 or S7....everything works and stable and simple..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treehumper:
See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treehumper:
My sig says it all, I've been around the block a few times. New to Infuse, veteran to Android. And so far, Caty is doing the trick. Thank you :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
No prob bro
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.

Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.

Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] treehumper:
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.

It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Zeus (gb rom).

Plus:

Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.

Minus (common to ALL gb roms):

HDMI out does not work

Hey

i am still on KI3 and it is running quite well for me but i was wondering if any of the newer firmwares brings some advancements or if it isn´t worth to update/even introduces new bugs..

please tell me: Is there a firmware worth updating to?

/edit i am skipping KP (ICS) and wait for a mostly fixed CM9

Hi Everyone,

2 questions:

Will [ROM] Revolver by Gnufabio | 3.11 - HC3B0 work on a B80 transformer using CWM?

Where can I get the stock rom for a B80 transformer in case I have a problem with any new modded rom?

Thanks.

Truly,

Emad
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spiral_ouT:
Do a nandroid backup through CWM and you'll always have the stock rom with all your settings. Yes, Revolver will work on your B80. I'm running it without problem on my B90.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yukonking3:
+1 for running Revolver 3.11 on a B80 with no problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
... your serial number does not matter unless it is in reference to NVFlash all roms will work on all models
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhruvraj:
This is seriously BAD. This is downright horrible.

Try it on your phone. Landscape mode typing is so jerky its almost unusable !! It is so painful. Works perfect if you hold phone straight but landscape mode....open any app or any text field ....and the typing is unbelievably bad

This is pathetic!!!!! I'm using standard unrooted galaxy nexus I think this would hspoen on all of thrm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's fine for me.... unsure what you're speaking about. There are alternative keyboards on the market if you wish to try those out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
lol wut?

It works perfectly fine for me, I love using it in landscape actually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macooper79:
This has been brought up on some of the websites like droid-life too. I experience it also. Very laggy and freezes. Hopefully it will be fixed in a future update. Download the swype apk and it works better.

Using stock cdma gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I thought Swype doesn't work on ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Another "pro" thread. Landscape is great.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i have the same issue regardless if it's landscape or not. it'll just want to stay put in the center of the text box and if i try to move the screen over to see what i'm typing it'll just automatically switch back by itself. that and if i press somewhere wanting to resume typing at that particular point, it'll either not register or the pointer will appear in a completely different place. i found that switching to a.i. type keyboard helps improve things slightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tim k:
Are you referring to the terrible lag when typing in landscape mode?

If so, that is scheduled to be fixed in an upcoming update:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432

Sorry, no linky for 5 more posts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbminus2:
Not sure if this exactly what your looking for but I came to the galaxy nexus at launch and was originally on an iphone 3gs for the past 2 years the keyboard was very snappy in landscape which is one thing I liked because I text rather quickly.

However, when I started texting in landscape mode on the galaxy nexus I got horrible lag between depressing characters with the stock android keyboard and noticed that it seemed to simultaneously occurr with the vibration feedback from the keyboard. I went into the settings and disabled the vibration and the keyboard works as it should. Although I now have decreased functionality until a fix is released the keyboard is very responsive with the vibration feature disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hol17:
Go to your settings, "Language and Input", and uncheck "Spelling Correction" at the top. Got rid of all my lag but not sure if it works for others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
+1 to two things mentioned previously: 1) disable Spelling Correction (the most important and significant thing you can do), and 2) disable the vibration. I've no idea why - in fact it's probably placebo effect - but disabling it made my typing appear to be a smoother experience with less mistakes and more smoothness. Might seem to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Horn:
Fixed in 4.0.3 according to Google.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
I'd like to know how important having a keyboard is to you guys. I'd like to buy a new phone soon and I'm picking between this phone, the Galaxy Nexus, and waiting for a Droid 4. The thing is, I use AT&T which none of these phones are available for. The Droid 4 is said to come with GSM bands, and I know the D3 does, so I can work with that. My question is whether it's worth giving up the Droids' keyboards for the Galaxy Nexus' superior specs.

P.S. I'm coming from a 4 year old HTC Kaiser, so anything is an upgrade.
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
I love my keyboard. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have one. I definitely would sacrifice a little on the processor and ram to have a keyboard phone,
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I chose the droid 3 specifically because of the keyboard. That and the fact that it needed to be new and android
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
My droid 3 was the best phone I ever used, the keyboard is amazing. But the phone sometimes lagged with only 512mb or ram, the boot loader is not unlocked, other than that stuff it is blazing! I would suggest waiting for the droid 4 if you love qwerty keyboards that much but go for the nexus if you cant wait for a phone and want specs now.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
The thing is, I have AT&T, not Verizon. I don't know if the Nexus will ever come to AT&T and the Droid 4 may or may not have GSM bands.
[Motorola Droid 3] senatus:
I always go for the best phone available with keyboard. My XT860, which is the nearly identical cousin of the Droid 3 (except 4G), unlocked, works with my AT&T sim card when I travel in U.S. might be worth your considering.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
Thank you, that's very useful to know. I hope it's possible to do the same with the Droid 4, because this phone will become obsolete when that comes out.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
My advice is not to get the Verizon version as it is a pain to get unlocked for AT&T but the 860. But other then that yes this is a good phone. If Hash can get the kinks worked out for ICS (I know he can), then it will be an amazing phone. It is still new enough hardware wise it isn't a big deal.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
You can get unlocked gsm nexus online. It means you pay full price instead of using a carrier upgrade. Check out www.negrielectronics.com (I'm in no way affaliated, I just know they have gsm nexus)
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
The physical keyboard is really a person preference thing. Generally speaking, the recent phones that have physical keyboards are usually slightly lacking in other departments like screen size/quality and/or RAM. What I'm getting at is having a physical keyboard is usually a trade off, but those of us that are willing to make that trade will swear by them because we greatly dislike having only a virtual keyboard.

The advice mentioned earlier about getting a non-Verizon version is sound advice. It is my understanding that Verizon's GSM capable phones are locked for other US GSM carriers. You could probably avoid a lot of headaches by not getting a Verizon phone if you don't plan on using them as your carrier.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
But I thought this would remedy all my GSM-related needs.

[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
There is that hack to get At&t working on the Verizon Droid 3 and if you are comfortable doing it then go ahead. It will require rooting and unlocking.

Otherwise you could look at getting the international XT860 since it will work on At&t out of the box. You could probably grab a Canadian one off ebay and to pop in your At&t SIM and not have to do anything else.

But if you don't mind doing that hack, the US XT862 is getting more dev attention it seems so it may be a better investment.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
I'm using my Verizon D3 (xt862) on T-Mobile, which only allows me to use Edge. The process to hack it to use GSM isn't hard, and it's pretty reliable still, but does require unlocking the phone through Verizon. I've heard a ton of problems coming from people who think they can get it to work using paid for unlock codes, so I'd advise being sure you can get the VZW unlock code from the source.

This phone is compatible with AT&T 3G bands, so if RAM isn't too big an issue (works fine with 512 MB IMHO), then this phone works great. I would argue that the D4 coming out won't make this phone outdated unless it comes stock with ICS. That would mean it would get a lot more developer attention probably, but wouldn't necessarily make me switch right away :-)

Without a doubt, i'd go with a keyboard. I picked this phone specifically because of that.
[Motorola Droid 3] evooo:
i got fat fingers soo a keyboard will be a must for me since i do heavy messaging with my phones, but bear in mind the Nexus do have a larger screen and there are keyboard apps that give a wide selection of layout for data entry, i dont know haha but i guess i am milestone used since the day when droid 1 came out, soo i have been buying every droid they ever released. i have a droid 1, 2, 3 now , i am waiting for the droid 4, but i like keyboard, cuz it feels better to type with a hardware keyboard, rather then poking at a screen.

if u are still iffy about the galaxy nexus then i'd say u wait a bit longer, new year they have to have new phones to be released
[Motorola Droid 3] mrAdvo:
Keyboards are amazing, I have all Droid phones with keyboards (Milestone 1, Milestone 2 and finally Droid 3) and it`s impossible for me to buy a phone without HW keyboard anymore (:
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
keyboard is the major reason for me buying xt860
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I'll be the dissenter. I lived for a couple of years with a virtual keyboard only and I am fine with that. I chose the D3 because I wanted a stable 3G phone, I wanted Moto because my house is in a weak cell area for Verizon and Moto has better radios, and the world phone capability I felt was a good idea for me - we are planning to do some travel in the next year and a half.

Ok, that said, once I tried the keyboard, I loved it. The original plan was just to ignore the hardware keyboard, but now I almost always use it.
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
I can't stand using a virtual keyboard, I am always hitting a wrong key. The Droid 3 physical keyboard is great and is a must in my book!
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
For me, it's the deciding factor in purchasing an Android phone. I waited and watched for the Droid 3's five-row keyboard as the first satisfactory upgrade from my HTC Dream.

My password contains numbers, so having to hit all those extra shifts on my iPod Touch poops me to tears. That and my continuous fat-fingering on the on-screen keyboard. I can use my fingernails on my Milestone 3's keyboard quite happily, with nary a mistake.
[Motorola Droid 3] gbarayah:
I have an XT860 and we have a love-hate relationship...

I LOVE the keyboard - possibly the best keyboard I've ever used on a mobile device.

I HATE the locked bootloader and limited customization options.
[Motorola Droid 3] jawsofire:
I love the keyboard, but I think the phone is a little bit on the big side. I still prefer my milestone 2, but I can't give up the keyboard. If you do choose the Droid 4, it will be locked for US bands like the Droid 3. I'm can't decide which one I like more right now. I use T-Mobile so like ATT, we'll have to wait for devs to unlock it.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
Actually, it comes with no GSM bands, so it's out of the question for us. =(
[Motorola Droid 3] jawsofire:
We can always wait for a global version or the milestone 4 (If they make it).
[Motorola Droid 3] ChocolateShein:
Yeah, I'm not waiting that long. I just bought a Droid 3. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks everybody for the input.

One of my colleagues just got an android, and needs a calendar app with weekly reminders for a recurring event, e.g. tuition for one of the kids.

Does anyone know of such a calendar app, preferably free? I believe there are separate apps that can do that, but I believe she would prefer the reminder to be built into the calendar app.

TIA.

Has ur friend checked out the stock calendar app? :) you can set each event to either reoccur weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly I believe.... look at the options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazen9000:
I broke my screen. I think it's both the LCD and the top screen. There's a spider web pattern all over the top part and the lcd is working in one corner but green and black apart from that. The phone turns on and seems to be working "underneath" the mess.

It was my fault. For years I've been leaving phones between the base of my bed and the frame at night. This morning the base moved away from the frame a touch and the Note slipped into to space and somehow got crushed. It was bizarre and I'm not 100% sure what happened.

So what are my options?

(1) cry and just accept that my Note is gone

(2) call samsung and see how much it will cost to replace the screen (do they do repairs?)

(3) Get a screen replacement kit from Ebay and try to do it myself (can't imagine I'd have 2-300 $ any time soon, nor the expertise to do it)

(4) sell it for parts and use the cash to by a ****ty old phone

There's no way that I'm going to be able to get it repaired for free is there?

I bought it from Ebay, no carrier here (Canada) has it yet.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks so much guys for your advice and commiserations.

I'll call Samsung tomorrow and cry, maybe they'll take pity on me, but I doubt it :)

I'll then try to cobble together the price of the kit, maybe they'll come down in price while I'm saving.

Thanks again for the advice and commiserations. A screen protector or a case would probably have helped I think, after spending $700+ for a phone I should have taken more steps to protect it.

I'm in Canada and so couldn't get any help from Samsung Canada or Samsung US as it's not carried over here. I finally got some help from Samsung UK and they gave me the name of a company in Birmingham I can send it to for repair.

I'm pretty nervous though as it could cost an arm and a leg.

Should I send it in, buy a screen for $230 and try to install myself or just forget it, buy a $50 phone and try to move on with my life without the beloved note?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynwrap582:
I'd definitely find out what the cost is going to be to replace the screen from the company in the UK. If it's not much over $230 then it might be worth it.

Thing is about these screen/digitizer assemblies is all the really fragile stuff is usually put together already. You don't need to do any soldering, stripping wires, etc., you just need to unplug some ribbon cables and plug in some ribbon cables, screw in/out a couple small screws, and use a prying tool to open the phone and place ribbon cables. Thankfully this stuff isn't rocket science or they'd have a lot of trouble getting them assembled in factories for pennies a day.

Unless you get a crappy replacement phone, you're looking to spend at least $200+ for an unlocked Android phone of any decency anyway. You might as well invest that money into repairing a top-of-the-line phone that will bring you a couple years more of use. Get two more years out of it and you're looking at $10/month.

Maybe e-mail the company thats selling them and ask if they come with directions. If you can't find directions, look at other similar phones (Sammy Galaxy S II, Galaxy Nexus, etc.), or maybe find a phone-repair place in your local area and provide the part yourself, they'll be able to figure it out from there.

Then get the god damn nicest protection case ever.
