Swype on Xoom

That's wonderful! I hadn't seen anything about that yet, so thanks for the update. Without Swype, I kind of feel crippled :rolleyes:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hipocrazy:
+1 just can't force myself onto a 'regular' keyboard anymore.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] HuwMorganEvans:
And I thought I was just too drunk to Swype last

night ;)

I'm hoping for a speedy resolution, hard to imagine

typing before swyping!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] h0lyc0w:
I'm glad Swype is still sort of working on ICS. I can put up with the occasional popup warning. I haven't noticed any issues using it, but then I tend to stay in landscape mode.

I did notice a quirky issue when I disabled Swype. The default keyboard switched to Japanese instead of the english android keyboard. When this happened I consistently got a popup error that the keyboard stopped responding and I lost all keyboard input.

Luckily, it was easily fixed in settings by changing the default back to english. Then I could re-enable Swype, and all was good again.

BTW, this was on kang's ICS rom (1/12/12).

ICS Update

Has anyone gotten the Swype update that works with ICS? I got it pushed to my phone but not my Xoom. The current versions are:

Phone: 3.26.92D38303.t0.8611.ENSP

Xoom: 3.26.92D.37556.t0.7108.HCAmericas
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DaMyth:
I'll have to check... but I used the swype beta installer and I'm not sure what the version number is...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] CUProf:
I just downloaded the beta on my Xoom today and it's working great in landscape or portrait mode. Version number 3.26.92.38303 The website says you need to uninstall previous version before installing the new beta I believe. Hope that helps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] orb_526:
That worked. I have the latest version now. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] CUProf:
Glad it worked for you. My sister started using Swype a long time ago, but I never gave it a shot till recently. I guess I owe her a thank you. I love Swype on my Xoom!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dislplin01:
You need to uninstall and install the swype installer then really download the version for phone and tablet is different they are not the same if you do that it will work fine
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] holgalee:
Using the Samsung app, you can download Retail Mode for the GN! The first thing you need to do is to set the screen timeout after which the Retail Mode will launch itself. There is also a password page and it's 5444. Found that out after much Googling! Then you get to play four videos about the spen, smemo and video editing.

I haven't figured a way to stop the retail mode from running apart from uninstalling it. Anyway, enjoy! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] holgalee:
Has anyone else played with the retail mode yet? I thought of keeping the app in my phone to show my friends when they ask about the phone, but I haven't found a way to stop it from running. Unless I use titanium backup, I suppose!

[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
Is there an app that can not only switch off my data but also switch to 2G while i am connected to wifi or my screen is turned off (i have better 2g signal in my area)?

the ideal app should be able to switch between these settings

screen off

2G, data on at xx min intervals (for sync,similar to 2x battery), no wifi.

screen on but locked : as above

screen on unlocked

search wifi - if available connect and keep 2G. If not available, switch wifi off, turn on 3G+data.
[LG Optimus 2x] eistmxcxc:
Well... yes:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739530&highlight=toggle+2g+3g

But you need a modified rom for that. Either you modify it yoursef (see thread) or use a pre-modified one. Some people say, it's quite good, some say it makes the phone a bit instable.

I used it myself with a gueste ROM and was satified with the funktions. It really worked. But I had some problems with wifi then. Well, you could give it a try.

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
Thanks for the thread.

At first glance the CM6 people seem to have problems. I am running CM7 temasek KANG 204-20 with vadonka's kernel. I'll download the zip and try it via CWM. Will report back
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i think the mobile network settings get ignored when wifi is enabled, whe i have it disabled and use 2g only i always have max connection but when wifi is enabled or 3g network i have very low connection when it changes to 3g wcdma...

i searched for an app to display the status of whe network and tried hidden menu but it seema its not getting updates while wifi is enabled:/

anyone experiencing similar behaviors?
[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
so. after some hours testing i can say that it works for me. i use it in conjunction with battery 2x.

when my screen is off toggle2g switches to 2G network and 2x battery enables data every 15min for sync.

when the screen is on battery 2x re-enables data but it remains in 2g network thanks to toggle2g (i have selected the option to manually re-enable 3g)

when i turn my wifi on toggle2g switches to 2g network (although it takes some time.. like 10-15s)

so.. these 2 apps seem to do the trick for me. Lost 9% over the night (still don't know if it's good or bad) and used to lose about 20%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] csmall:
Do you think we'll see less manufacturers that we were hoping to see cases from release TF201 cases now that they will probably focus on the TF700?

I created this here instead of the QA forum sorry. Mod please move if you see this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kborer22:
Depends on the form factor I'd imagine, are the dimensions of the device the same??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I'm just guessing of course, but I'd have to say right now no. This is a super hot selling tablet. No one can keep it in stock. everyone wants cases for them. The other tablet isn't even made yet. As we know by THIS release, they obviously don't make cases in anticipation of a release.

So - my guess is they'll make cases for the hottest selling Android tablet until there is demand for another kind of case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirAnkie:
Considering they have said the TF700 will be compatible with the Prime keyboard doc, I would imagine they have the same dimensions, or at least close enough that 99% of cases will be compatible for both.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
It will be compatible with the Transformer Dock, so it should have the same form factor. So i think accessories and cases should be compatible as well.

But chill out about this tablet :) It was just a prototype doesnt have a name yet and ASUS said it could be several months before it arrives.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] philburkhardt:
Yes, you can. I have Chainfire installed on my TF. It's never caused me any problems.

I don't think it will help with SSFIV, but you can certainly give it a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] philburkhardt:
You shouldn't need to reboot after picking a plugin.

I plan to purchase a new Android handset (good chance it will be a Samsung Infuser) from eBay and would like to verify that the handset is new. My blackberry has a counter that keeps track of radio on time in minutes and is not resettable.

Is there a similar counter built into Android devices, that can be confidently used to verify that a device is truly new?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Hi! I just got my GN and after I boot it asks to enter the SIM Network unlock PIN. This means that its network locked right ? In the box there where nothing related to any carrier so is there a way to find a way to which carrier it is locked to ? And how can I unlock it?

Thanks :D (Im running AOKP)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I got an app from market recently to unlock my SGS2, maybe try searching the market? That's a bit vague but the app I used on my SGS2 was perfect, generated a code for me and then unlocked the sime when I typed the code in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Im trying the GSII Sim Unlock app though I doubt it will work.... I was thinking about purchasing an unlock code however I have no idea to what carrier it is locked to. Is there any way I can know this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Yeah

That's what I used. I don't think the carrier matters, it's all about the phones IMEI number, the app checks that and then issues an unlock code based on that. You don't need to worry about carrier.

Let me know if that app works on the Nexus. By the way, in Ireland you can ring your carrier and request an unlock code. I don't know if that is the same where you are. You could chance your arm and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shaquiel Harris:
is your nexus cdma or gsm? A gsm nexus wont ask to unlock the sim since they are factory sim unlocked..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
ha

Mine asks for an unlock code if I don't use the sim that came with the phone or a sim that is from another carrier.

Do you have a source for where you read that they are sim unlocked ??? Would be interested in reading it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmhalder:
this reads more like it's a Sim-pin... a pin number associated with the sim card you are using, NOT a pin associated with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
NO! The code is related to the IMEI number of the phone. When I unlocked my SGS2 using that app, it specifically searched for my IMEI number and then generated the unlock code. Nothing to do with the sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Its a GSM phone and Im assuming that it is unlocked as it had no logos on the box so I have no idea what carrier it is locked to. Also, ever site that sells unlock codes request the carrier so what can I do ?

Tha SGSII app did not work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Nasty! Can you contact the guys who offer the paid unlock codes and ask them a way around that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmhalder:
Well, I would contact the seller of the phone, there isn't a locked version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus available, afaik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I have heard this a few times today now??? Do you know where that is mentioned? I am looking for a source??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmhalder:
Well, you didn't buy a carrier branded one, did you?

I spoke too soon, it looks like Vodafone Portugal sells it Sim-locked, everywhere else it's unlocked. If you bought it unsubsidized, it should be unlocked. Unless you got scammed, and bought it second hand from someone that somehow had bought a locked one.

Where exactly did you purchase the phone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_nexus#Availability
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Bought it off eBay from an Australian seller.... in fastboot mode Carrier Info is set to None.... does this mean that it is unlocked ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modstorm:
Got reply from seller and apparently there was a code on the box that I had to enter.... my fault :/ Know its working perfectly :D

Thanks for the help anyways guys :)

I was told that amoled displays have no problem (and doesn't take much energy) to show for example the time even when the phone is on stanbdy.

Would be pretty cool to have all black screen and just the time in white when the phone is on standby.

Is there something that does that already?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
On my SGS2 I use to use an app called noled free from market. It used to display the time on my dimmed lock screen but only when I got a notification. You could download it and just see if the option is there to show the clock all the time. Hope this helps a bit ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fking1:
Yes it does but only on dimmed display, i want something to show it when the display is off. From what i understood amoled can light only certain pixels up. And that way show the time on turned off display using power just for the pixels it uses to show the time.
