Depends on how badly you need one now. There are new tablets on the way, and some will be supporting the new OS upgrades (Android 4.0) and utilizing the NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3 processor. EDIT: [A newer] Asus Transformer Prime was just announced at CES, altough there isn't a set date, it is available for pre-order.

IMHO Get a Kindle Fire

The Kindle Fire has quite a few developers behind it. There's an MIUI rom, AOSP ICS, and CM9. Progress is going quite fast and there are active IRC channels over at AndIRC.net #kindlefire and FreeNode.net #kindlefire-dev. That and I personally love the KF anyway ;)

I have been using Asus Transformer w/ Dock since it came out.

AND LET ME TELL YOU - ITS PRETTY AMAZING.

my cousing have XOOM and my wife has Galaxy. all these TABs are pretty good and dose its job.

BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO BUY ASUS TRANSFORMER/ T PRIME.

> Both are going to get ICS.

> Good Build quality.

> Using with dock is really awesome, plus Dock's battery ADDS extra Juice to its Life.

> HDMI out works really amazing with my 40" 720p, i think Prime is 1080p.

> Prime is coming with Terga 3 Quad Core, its gonna be really powerful Tab.

> Prime also has LED Flash in back which mine dosent have (not big deal).

> Asus is really good with sending out necessary updates when necessary.

So that is it! Asus Transformer or Transformer Prime is the way to go !

Also i would like to you to make you aware that the price will not be the same few months after release. I paid $399+$149 from newegg, and after bout 4-6 months the bundle was about $100 cheaper. so this time im gonna w8 up.

My phone doesn't like Gingervolt it power cycled and froze and all the bad stuff...re installed about 10ish times on a clean slate and still the same issues so I wanted to go back to stock.

When I ran the unroot.bat it unrooted the phone but CWM is still there when I do a factory data reset through the phones setting.

Is there another way to removed CMW from this phone.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Im trying to compile an AOSP build. My device (toshiba Thrive) has Honeycomb and there is no source for it, hence there is no public GIT with a device tree or source of any kind rather than the kernel source.

Question is, how can I add my device to the lunch menu if I don't have any files to put in there? Also, if I compile for a different device, i.e. Xoom since it had Tegra2 support built in, what are the chances of porting that just by swapping bins, libs, etc files, and so on?

I'm guessing that the kernel is compiled during the process based on those proprietary files..... correct?

Hello Everyone I'm new on this forum and I need your help . I will be really pleased if someone could help me . So my problem is that I can't surf internet. Everything Was Okey Till Today . I was at school and I was using my Xperia to chat with friend by instant messaging program and surfing in the internet. Everytime when I ended surfing I always put " Allow data transfer " off. During the day I once again put it on but I noticed that The arrows which always was showing if something was uploading or downloading , had disappeared . I think that you understand which arrows. They were showing if i'm in 3g or EDGE etc . So now I can't use my internet anymore .

I have my phone in orange and I tried download a settings from their website but without result. I have 2 yearly contract so there is no option that I ran out of money on my account. I Have been trying many times restart my phone but too without result , I reseted my phone to bring back defualt settings but without result. Of course I have 2 years guarantee but I don't want to give my phone to service by such a little problem . I think that someone could help me and give me an advice what to do next . Maybe I need to reinstal software?? or something like this?? Where this Arrows disappeared ?? .

Sorry for my english but I don't know it well . I'm from Poland
[Xperia Arc General] electrash:

[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
A prevalent question on these Nitro forums is whether or not to buy it...As compared to <whatever> phone. I think the most common comparison is with the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The problem is, the GS2 is an 800x480 resolution phone. To get an idea of why that doesn't make sense, go ahead and set your laptop's screen resolution to 800x600. How's that look to you? Now walk over to your computer and set it to 1280x800, how's that?

Not exactly a controlled and scientific comparison right? Different systems, different screens, different just about everything.

IMHO, if you're considering the Nitro and want to compare it to something?...Then there's really only 1 other phone (in the US, anyway); the HTC Rezound which has the exact same CPU/GPU chipset and 1280x720 screen (LCD though, not IPS). You could also compare with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, there's a LOT of variances there too but it's one of the only phones that also has the 1280x720 screen.

I stress the commonality of 1280x720 because not everything works properly (or even at all) when trying to display at this resolution and also there's potential draw delays to compensate. So make sure you're looking at the other phones that could share this same hurdle so you set your expectations accordingly.

Yeah, I wonder about the validity of their info as well.

Same here. As long I am rooted, debloated, custom launcher (zean) and sim unlocked I am good. Custom roms would nice but a lot of time, they are a pain to keep up.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
I know benchmarks dont mean squat, but I am surprised how Nitro HD fairs well in any 3D benchmarks especially with 720p screen and sub-optimised soft. See attached Antutu benchmark. Barely behind Galaxy Nexus with ICS.

I just fired up Shadowgun and it does drop a frame here and there. No Tegra afterall but 4.5 inch 720p is looking better than I remember playing on Atrix 4G.
[LG Nitro HD] yanyu:
LMAO

IPS is just one type of LCD,

IPS, MVA, PVA, ASV are all good screen types,

the only bad screen is TN, which is never used on high end android devices.

AMOLED sucks IMO, over saturated, and your vision killer. Dont even mention most of the AMOLED on the market is pentile display.

[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
Dont get me wrong, the Galaxy Nexus screen is gorgeous, BUT you cant really compare as its not the AMOLED plus display. That being said, its not true 1280x720 in terms of the number of sub-pixels.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
If you can hold out for the Skyrocket HD then I would say do that. If you can't, I would say go ahead and get the Nitro HD. Just keep in mind that there is no custom ROM scene on it yet.
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
GSMArena just posted a pretty good write-up comparing the displays of the Optimus LTE (Nitro) and the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.gsmarena.com/720p_screen_shootout-review-705.php

I've owned both phones and the screens are both very good. I think my perfect phone would be the Nitro's screen on the Galaxy Nexus, though. I absolutely HATE pentile but I can put up with it with the Galaxy Nexus since it's so dense compared to older pentile screens, but LG's screen is noticeably sharper.

The reason I use the galaxy nexus now is development support. The screens are close enough that it came down to choosing the phone with the most customizability and that went to the Nexus hands down. Until the LG has ICS and dev support which includes undervolting kernels, I probably won't switch back. The whole experience of the galaxy nexus is just far superior because of the newer OS and huge dev community, despite the screen falling short in some areas.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I'm in learning mode around here, why such an importance placed on undervolting kernels? :)
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
Battery savings mainly. Phones from the manufacturer tend to be set at voltages much higher than needed which is essentially just throwing away battery life. For less power usage you can achieve the same performance. For example, a stock galaxy nexus hooked onto 3G in idle will lose about 10-15% overnight (8 hours). A modified one that's been properly undervolted will only lose 4-6%. Some people claim to only lose 1-2% but I think they messed something up =)
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
hey thanks. I wonder why the manufacturers set that higher than necc intentionally?

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Did anyone determine how much the nexus is over-voltaged?
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
Stability. Just like any other product with any sort of tolerances today, manufactures must exceed them by a certain percentage to allow for user error or other factors. People in very warm climates won't be able to undervolt as well as people in colder climates. Also if you're into gaming a lot then you may need higher voltages than someone who's only into browsing. So to account for everyone they have to comply with the lowest common denomination.

For example, the stock voltage at 350mhz on the galaxy nexus is 1025mv. Most users can get down to 850mv without issues (stress tested as well). Some can get down to 800mv but then you start running into lags or reboots if the phone gets too hot or the voltage in the battery is too low.

See this thread for a table of galaxy nexus stock voltages versus that developer's recommendations for undervolting: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20441995&postcount=2
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i will check that out, appreciated.

One thing I've noticed with benchmark testing f this phone is the score is significantly higher with the device plugged in to the charger, even with a full charge on the batt. It seems weird to me that the battery can't provide all the juice the chip needs yet the chip is running at higher voltage than necc. :)
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
I suspect that's not actually related to how much voltage is being fed into the CPU. Those voltages are the same whether the phone is plugged in or not.

The difference with being plugged in, though, is the CPU governor is likely on a more aggressive or performance oriented setting. For example, while plugged in the phone usually doesn't go into a "deep sleep" mode like when the phone is off the charger.

If you've rooted your phone and have setcpu installed, try benchmarking two scenarios:

1) default settings - on demand governor with normal min/max

2) performance governor (doesn't matter what min is in this case since it locks CPU speed to max)

I'm guessing scenario 2 will benchmark higher because the CPU doesn't have to ramp up or from a lower frequency when it detects load.

Anyway, these benchmarks aren't too useful in describing how the phone actually feels in day-to-day usage. I can get 7000+ score in antutu with my galaxy nexus but I KNOW for a fact that the GPU on the LG is more powerful.

That kind of brings me to my next point which is why the galaxy nexus "feels" a lot more fluid is because of the software optimizations and the use of GPU acceleration (despite having a slower GPU). The LG pretty much uses no GPU acceleration at all and tries to brute force everything with raw processing power. I will definitely consider picking up the LG again if there's an ICS leak any time soon but their expected release date of Q2/Q3 is just too far out for me to wait.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Thanks Dinan, that all makes sense. I have setcpu (uninstalled), am reinstalling and looking forward to the comparison.

!

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

setcpu results

perf gov & unplugged 6249

per gov & plugged in 6068

on-demand & unplugged 6338

on-demand & plugged in 6642

I think this shows that antutu is just for fun, which is fine. :-)

But I also don't think setcpu runs correctly on this phone, thus my uninstalling it previously.
[LG Nitro HD] MoreYummy:
Can this kind of undervoltage be done on other phone?
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
lol yes... virtually any phone can do it given the developer support is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnsandroid.com:
I have had this phone for less then 24hr and I love it. But I have been very conscious about the battery life and I feel that it drops every time I turn it on. I fully drained the 40% when it came with it in about 2 hours and today after letting it charge fully then taking it off at 100% for the rest of the night I lost 16% in about 7 hours. Since I woke up from 730-1130 I have went from 84%-50% off doing basically nothing. Edit (41% after I typed this post)

GPS-off

Wifi- off after I woke up at 7

Sync-on

Social-update once an hour

Email- once an hour
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sfasu77:
The battery needs a few charging cycles to achieve peak performance. I have a GSM nexus and the battery life has been excellent with default syncing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablonyc2:
After reading sfasu's post, it does make sence. I had mine for about 2 weeks...first few days the power dropped FAST. But now it has improved! I listened to music and played games while on 1hr subway ride today and it went down only a small amount....2 weeks ago it went down to 50%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
please note that the battery life performance experience differs with the CDMA and GSM version.

GSM version will get better battery life than the CDMA version due to the power hungry LTE chip.

like the other posters have said, wait a few days for the device to calibrate battery and assess battery life from then on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
The poster above makes a great point. I'd also like to add though that with my cdma version I turn LTE off and it seems to help battery life. I don't need LTE speeds while running Google nav.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rommel500:
If I leave my idle with the screen off and LTE ON I only lose ~ 20% over 8 hours. But if I have the screen on it seems like I lose almost 1% every minute or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
as it's been said, if you have the LTE version, that will severely drop your battery even just email and basic sync can use massive amounts of charge on LTE.

if you have the GSM version, then most likely you just need to cycle the battery a few more times, or you have something in the background using more battery than it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
I think at the end of the day the screen is always going to soak up more power than anything else. Any savings due to settings and updated firmware is going to be very minor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnsandroid.com:
Ya battery definitely adjusted. Getting about 24 hours a charge now.
