[General Questions and Answers] Innovator:
No it was a fake auction, i'm still doubting between Sensation & Incredible S ...

Isn't the screen too big from the sensation, isn't it more pleasant to have the 4 inch Incredible S in your hand with better contrast/field of view ?

Does the Incredible S has the latest Sense & Android Android 2.3 Gingerbread, same as the Sensation (or tweaked rom here available) ?

Will ICS be available for the Incredible S also like for the Sensation?
[General Questions and Answers] DrMadman:
Maybe you should go to a store which sells them both and try which one feels better in your hands? Sensation is actually quite sleek, and only marginally bigger than the Incredible S. Sensation's display takes more room with thinner borders, so the phones are quite similar in size. I have big hands so the size is not a problem for me, but I have to admit that proper usage with only one hand isn't possible. Though I suspect the same goes for the I S too...

I wouldn't worry too much about the viewing angles and contrast of the Sensation's display, I'm coming from Desire's AMOLED and am happy with my Sensation. Of course the AMOLED was/is better but both Sensation and Incredible have S-LCD's so the difference can't be massive.

I'm not 100% sure about the Incredible S but I think both phones have a pretty good level of support and new roms in XDA. So choose which one you like more, if your gut tells you to get the Incredible S, go for it, it's a good phone too.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] greymarch:
I am visiting the United Kingdom in March. I will be in the UK for two weeks. I will bring my Droid Bionic with me, even though it's a CDMA device and will not work in Britain. As a Droid Bionic owner, how can I get some use out of my Droid Bionic while in the UK, and how can I get an android, touch-screen smartphone while in the UK, that has voice and reliable data?

I know about the Verizon Global traveler program. If I am looking at the correct list of phones Verizon provides though the global traveler program, they look like lousy phones. I would really like an android touch-screen smartphone with voice and data while I am in the UK.

So, given the above info, what should I do?

I write about technology, including android smartphones at my website.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
Your best option for a global capable Motorola smartphone that can be used here in the US as CDMA and overseas with GSM is a Droid3.

If you don't travel frequently though, then it may not be worth it to you.

The Droid 2 Global or Droid Pro would also work and may be found cheaper than a D3. There are also GSM only models like Milestone 3 and others that would work but without any CDMA capability for US use.

There are no LTE/CDMA/GSM global models despite the fact that the Bionic hardware(MDM6600 radio chipset) is fully capable of handling it, it is disabled in the firmware at the request of VZW.

The GSM functions of their global models are also generally compromised in the firmware to some degree in order to accommodate their global device specifications. USSD dialing codes dont work properly and international SMS and other features may not work.

There is also an unlocked Chinese radio firmware that can be flashed to the D3 to allow both domestic and international use that works great. I am running it on my D3 and have it on a T Mobile SIM here in the US. It is EDGE only data on T Mobile due to their deployment of 3g/4g HSPDA+ on AWS bands here, which is not supported by the MDM6600 chipset.

So, you have many options, but all of them entail purchasing another phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] junksecret:
My wife travels to Europe quite a bit and she had a Blackberry forever. Last month I bought her a white Droid 2 Global in perfect used condition on eBay for $179.00 and gave it to her. She likes a physical keyboard (it also sports a touchscreen keyboard) so it was a perfect fit for her. She played with it for a few hours and the next day activated it on Verizon and needless to say will no longer even look at her BB Tour.

She is in Eastern Europe right now and keeps emailing me (from her phone) telling me how thrilled she is with the phone. She bought a cheap voice and data SIM over there and it all works like a charm.

I think with all of her use she would end up paying Verizon more than $179 for their lousy global services for the same period. I highly suggest you buy a nice cheap android world phone, buy SIM's wherever you go and and keep Verizon out of the loop.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
If you want to use your bionic over there, I recommend downloading an app called GrooveIP.

It will allow you to use your phone to make and receive calls via wifi.

Data and voice would be useless over there. If you give Verizon a call, they can place your voice and data on hold for you while your gone. You can still fully use your phone when connected to wifi with groove IP and your Google voice number for free.

Your other option was mentioned earlier which was to invest in a global phone. With an unlocked global phone, or European one you won't have any problems.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greymarch:
Can you recommend some global, Android, purely touch-screen smartphones for use in the UK?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
I would go with the european I9023 Nexus S. It's only 350 off Newegg, comes unlocked and will work with any sim you put in there while in the UK.

The ROM is amazing, but with the current grow of ICS Port to SGS is almost inevitable to switch the one from another.

Besides, it's been a long time since they released a ROM and Darky is not that involved as he used to be.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ludikhris:
64gb grey landed last night. I noticed some minor light bleed only on the right side..... maybe warranty fodder, maybe not. Then the wifi.... searching..... not connected.... searching....not connected.

I flame.

Then I adjust some router settings.... POOF!.... connected, and strong too.

My router is in my basement, and I get 1-3 bars with the device in my bed on my 2nd story on the opposing side of the house, depending on how I hold it. So wifi <> issue at all.

Went outside, after sitting 30 secs I picked up 10 sats. I'll probably never use it because I have a phone for that which has 3g at the same time, but GPS works.

I still need to test blutooth, especially blutooth with wifi on, but my tablet has no real issues. This is exactly what I would have expected it to do. Performance however, has hiccuped when I am installing apps and cruising the net or playing games, but come on, there is a limit to what it can do.

After the ICS update I can say I still prefer to skin the UI in ADW, I was hoping to avoid setting it all up, but I will tonight.

Happy Prime Owner.

I think you will have to have one of those exact ROMs or it won't work. So if it won't work and you don't have the standard HTC Europe ROM, you'll need to flash that ROM. See the sticky for a link to the post (upgrading to 2.3.5).

[Kindle Fire General] lim2346:
Hi guys, something's wrong with my kindle fire...

I was browsing the android market and the screen was suddenly frozen.

Then I long press the power button to turn it off and restart again.

But when it's turned on, the kindle fire launcher keeps flashing (Go launcher works fine).

So I restart my kindle again to see if this problem will go away, but it keeps flashing...

Also, every time I turn my kindle on, it says sign-in is required before accessing the Internet. But after I signed in, this notification just pop up again...

Anyone can help me please?

Thanks!!!

(it's a bit long, sorry about that!)
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
are the restrictions in settings active ? maybe turn on and off again

but about the flashing launcher ???

sorry - no more ideas ...
[Kindle Fire General] lim2346:
Thank you b63.

But that's not working...

Actually the sing-in part is not that annoying and I think that happens because of the default launcher.

Let me give more details about my problem.

So I have 2 launchers: the default one and GO launcher

Go launcher works perfectly, as I have said.

But once I switch to default launcher, I can see the launcher interface for one second or two, and it turns black for few seconds and the interface shows up again....

And my kindle keep doing this repeatedly.

(the notification bar is working, so I can still switch to Go launcher)

Thank you guys for helping me!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i'm using the same configuration

have set go launcher as default launcher and use stock launcher when i need it

works perfect

maybe try to reset the defaults of both launchers:

settings - apps - go (& stock) launcher - defaults (all at the bottom)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Do all silicon cases when you put it in your pocket the screen collects a lot more dust and lint around the phone where the case meets the bezel?

I got this case from Verizon wireless, i think it the high gloss one.

I love the case because it fits perfectly doesn't make the phone too big. While not sure how well it will protect if i drop it, the biggest plus is, it gives me a better grip and does not slide out of hand so i will not drop it.

Every time I pull the phone out of pocket has tons of dust and lint and so hard to clean without taking the case off.

So I am curious anyone have any recommendations for a similar silicon case that will not attract all that dust while in the pocket?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
I have the same case and don't really have an issue. Maybe you should put a canned air in your other pocket to blow it off each time you pull it out. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
I have a S-line TPU case from ebay, I find a lot of dust and fluff sticking to the edges in my pocket, but it doesn't bother me, maybe I just have really dirty pockets!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
Yeah, I get a lot of dust and lint in there too. I use the amzer case with the Verizon screen protectors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Interesting thing is if I go naked with nexus it does not attract much dust.

Something to do with the silicon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Should avoid silicone cases. They are dust magnets and will start stretching soon. Tpu's are way better and cost the same.

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Thanks any recommendation which one?

I never heard of TPU that is new to me. What does that stand for?

Maybe I will return this case since it was $24.99
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
TPU wikipedia link, fantastic material! Plenty of cases on eBay for only a few pounds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpp_04:
Very much so. Silicone is always a lint magnet especially if you pocket your phone.

I got myself the Barely There Case in black by Case-Mate. Was about to get the Otterbox Commuter but was worried that it would make the phone too big to hold with one hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Thanks everyone I went for one of the TPU forgot name starts with a D, rev 3..for I think $10 off amazon.

Will return this one at verizon once I get it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
I use the Verizon silicon case too and found the same issue. Thats why I empty out my jacket's pocket completely before putting my phone in. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennhkc:
All the Same

I find the TPU cases to be nearly as good at concentrating dust on screens as silicone. It seems more a function of the protective lip protruding around the edge of the screen than the material it's made of. A dirty phone is just the price one pays for trying to protect it.

So I'm trying to install the new firmware for ICS virtuous rom and I placed it on my sd card, tried to install it, and every time it begins to install it aborts itself and doesnt give me a reason why. i have s-off and super cid. what could be the issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
So we now know that with ICS...

(1) the gps.config file has been deleted in favor of an XML file in the /etc/gps/ directory

(2) they removed the GPS on/off switch from the quick settings access

But what I also noticed is that every time under HC, bar none, I used something like GPS Test and you took a screen shot or moved from 1 app back to GPS Test or touched a capacitive button, all signals were lost and had to be reacquired. You could literally see them all just drop off and then start to come back 1 by 1. Well, now, this no longer happens for me under ICS. If I do these same actions that ALWAYS produced this weird software interference, no signals are dropped or lost ad have to be reacquired.

So maybe, just maybe they did some software retooling as I could, as others also mentioned, replicate this odd software interference every time. Now I cannot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
I didn't go into heavy testing but I thought mine still did that last night. But even then, my signal come and go even without switching screen so it still not useful even if it was working right.

Are they both gone? Can't really imagine that...

Just because they didn't announce it doesn't mean they're not working on it.

Secondly all these Crapple lawsuits may have Sammy keeping their lips sealed tight for the time being on what can and can't they release.

Samsung went gangbusters this past 1/4. They have a lot going on with Android and it is only getting better. Why do you think they hire people like cyanogen?

True... S2, Gnex, Note, GT7.7, 8.9 (Did 7.0+ come out this quarter also?)

They've been busy for sure. I agree with the OP it would have been nice to see somthing, but I have no doubt Sammy has a few tricks up their sleeve. Wonder which Samsung tab will get ICS first?

Hopefully the 7.0+ or 10.1. But with that said I think the 8.9 needs it most. Honeycomb runs worst on it from what I've seen.

It will also be interesting to see the Ipad junior as I have no doubt Apple will be pushing their 8" line soon. 8" tabs just seem to be perfect for me.
