rezound display is great,once autobrightness controls come like setting levels it'll be even better
[Android General] dextroz:
Droid Razr's screen is pixel-ated garbage; I would go with the galaxy nexus - get my updates and unhindered bloat-less experience. Everything these custom UIs give you, a custom launcher can do and better.

welcome to the club :D

i only buy devices with SAMOLED+ or SAMOLED HD or at the very least SAMOLED (as found on some Nokia phones)

I mostly stick to Samsung phones as they always carry SAMOLED # screens

HTC Desired had them for a while until they ran out of stock
[Android General] kmcspecial:
I absolutely LOVE the display on my Rezound. It's been mentioned earlier but once auto-brightness tweaks are able to be implemented it will be flawless.
[Android General] mrlocus:
Thats exactly what i thought! "Lets turn up saturation... OH LOOK SHINY COLORZ = better display"

But maybe we are just used to under-saturated displays?
[Android General] jcolinzheng:
I'd rather get a screen that's more power efficient. Especially with white background.
[Android General] Oneiricl:
Exactly. Most people are used to washed out colours from LCDs, so they see nothing wrong. But it isn't for nothing that TV manufacturers are always trying to push the vibrant colours of their screens.

For me, ever since getting the uberawesome GNote, I can't stand the faded looking colours of regular LCDs.

Besides I like screens with really nice blacks and colours that look alive.. So SAMOLED HD FTW....
[Android General] ArcticWolf91:
I agree, the rich deep blacks on OLED screens really do spoil you.
[Android General] moses992:
Yep, I have a SGS and whenever i look at phones with non OLED displays I pity them. My friend has the SGS i9003 ( the one with S-LCD display) and we compared them side by side, the SAMOLED screen looks WAY better than SLCD. ( more than 6 people were there and we all agreed). Its all about the blacks baby ..
[Android General] battlezed98:
how would the screen of the arc s be rated alongside these phones???
[Android General] luckypatak:
I agree ,the Oled display use less baterry power than other displays,and i love it..
[Android General] CuraeL:
It's just sad whenever I show my screen to some1 who bought a phone and said "It was cheap, it is small, and it's not heavy." And they see my GNex, and they say "Awh, me wun that scweeeeeeeeeeeen." All I can say is.. Pwned by low-end.
[Android General] ivanot:
I agree OLED is best solution, even if the color is not as real as some others LCD, but I think this will be solved in a near future.

Just think that Samsung, that is the 1st word producer of LCD displays, has just started the spin-off of the LCD department and has declared that the future of his research is on OLED. Say also that Samsung is going to spend a pharaonic amount of money in research for the next year, I'm looking forward to see results.
[Android General] qaz2453:
Its safe to say.. I will never go back to a tft screen ... I mean when I look at the pure blacks on my nexus s then see someones phone with tft.. I'm like wow.. those blacks are nasty :) and the whole screen is washed out

[Android General] djluis48:
Im very happy with my Motorala Atrix 4G gHD screen. I know that the color are a little bit pale compared to the SAMOLED screens but the extra resolution is a nice tradeoff. I think its worth it. Comming from a Samsung Vibrant 4G with SAMOLED screen. :)
[Android General] ivanot:
I think OLED TV is coming in a matter of one or two years. But from my side I watch TV less every day, I prefer internet for news, entertainment and so on. If it was for me I would put Android on my TV:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
With the demise of Megaupload and the discontinued sharing services of sites like Filesonic, 4Shared, Fileserve and Filepost, what will be the fate of sharing files for Android? I'm sure many sites will follow in the same footsteps as others so what would our alternatives be as a community?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
All the other sites you named... They are being shut down as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmedandDangerous:
They have reverted to a system where you can only download what you yourself uploaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
Most of them have totally disabled any type of file sharing and some have enabled only uploading and downloading your own content. Most other sites will probably do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I doubt file sharing sites as we know it will disappear altogether. The problem with MegaUpload was that they were actually guilty as all hell and they knew it. Employee emails showed that they knew that most of their subscribers share copyrighted works and even the employees themselves would share pirated stuff with each other. That along with their size was why the feds went for them.

I suspect that the sites that have taken down their sharing features have the same problem (their internal communications show that they acknowledge and encourage piracy on their sites) so they are doing whatever they can to minimise the damage. Other sites have shut down their "uploader rewards programmes" which can be used against them in court to prove that they are encouraging and profiting directly from piracy.

Now what the smarter sites have to do is avoiding the mistakes that these sites have made and comply swiftly with takedown notices and stay under the radar. Because of the MU case we'll probably see a huge drop in pirated stuff on file sharing sites for a while (I'm sure many uploaders/subscribers of MU are getting cold feet since the feds pretty much now have all their details) but for legitimate users there really is nothing to worry about. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TweakMyDevice:
I use Dropbox to host a lot of tweaking files. The links on my Downloads page are all served by Dropbox.

I also have Box and Minus accounts but have yet to use them. Wishing I grabbed the 50gb of Box storage when it was available :mad:

Not that I'm hosting pirated content but how does the Government's reach extend into servers like Dropbox, Box, and Minus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Are you asking which sites would be best to pirate Android apps now that some file sharing sites are shutting down? Isn't that against the TOS of this site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dick Ripple:
I'm pretty sure he is talking about ROMS and other mods, not illegal content.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
Ftp's, irc and newsgroup's will be used to file share the same as before those http sites existed.

Dropbox is good, I use it all the time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
If the content is legal, there are hundreds of options for hosting and sharing files. Only those hosting illegal files need to worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougmod:
I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with the google voice app using their galaxy nexus on verizon..I am unable to send texts from the app. It just hangs at Sending.. with the little circle going around and around. It will stay at that screen for a few minutes then will say the message was canceled. I tried rebooting, uninstalling the app and nothing has fixed it. I also have tried it on 4g, 3g and Wifi. same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
GV was acting up this evening and I had trouble sending texts as well. It happens every once in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougmod:
well in general or just via the app? cause i can send text through the google voice website. i have had it act up before, but i cant get one message to send. been that way since i woke up today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
Well in that case I have no idea...I couldn't send through the web app either and I didn't have problem this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougmod:
oh okay. maybe they are fixing the problem, but one platform at a time? idk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hsj1906:
I'm so glad you posted this. I had the same issue! Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Seems to be working better though now but had problems all afternoon and into this evening.

I'm on VZW as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] URPREY:
Having troubles sending texts through gv on Verizon today as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
I had the same issue tonight and I just tried texting myself from GV and the text took 6 minutes for me to receive it. Something is definitely wrong at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
I was also having issues last night (~5-8pm Pacific) with the app. Uninstalled, re-installed, cleared data and cache of app, all sorts of stuff. Gave up and sent from the mobile voice website and it was fine. Hours later it was working a bit dodgy. I have found that the app is much more problematic than the website or a chrome extension.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laineyc:
it does not work for me at all. For example, to send a text message. When I say "send text message to.....Message...Hello" there is nothing in the "to" field, everything is in the "message" field. I've seen this problem mentioned on google forums, but no answers.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Hello there!

I recently switched from a Neo (with 4.0.2.A.0.62) to an Arc S with the exact same firmware. Both had about the same amount of apps installed.

I am very unhappy with the battery drain on my Arc S. It is ENORMOUS compared to my Neo... Even with heavy use and a lot of music listening my battery would easily last a day. With my Arc S the battery drains extremely fast, even while just listening to music.

Do these amounts look normal to you guys? This is just while listening to music directly after a reboot, WiFi disabled, HSPA only (full sync).

At the time of the screenshots it was at 56%.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] pvyParts:
Looks to me like you are in a Realy bad signal area. that wont be helping.

Iridaki has made a tutorial to find out what is using battery. and to diagnose apps that are causing drain ect.

get it here.

also in future Q's go in Q&A not general (Who would have known :D)

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
WCDMA + Data enabled + Listening to music + Weak signal = Battery drain

Are you completely stock?
[Xperia Arc General] pvyParts:
Well yes and no. Low signal has a huge affect especially with data. As the phone had to try so hard to maintain the link.

There are SO many factors to take in

Be sure to read iridaki's guide to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary is draining your batt.

I am runing a heavily modified stock. All my own mods using our TEAM sources ECT.

Thanks
[Android Themes] Mopral:
If you want weather on this lockscreen, you need to install "Genie Widget" and set your location in the app
[Android Themes] nitinvaid:
to get weather working flash google apps package for cm7 first

then you will get app news and weather

use that enter your location and you are good to go:D:D
[Android Themes] DRTMI:
Either genie widget or 9s weather. I have both installed nit don't know which is being used.
[Android Themes] punkmonkey1984:
This actually works very well. as the person presented it in the original post picture.

I know the LEphone theme was not how it was meant to be from the picture, but least he/she pulled though on this one.

Here at XDA we meant to encourage developers not present them with sarcasm and push people away

Great lockscreen
[Android Themes] sunnylovesalman:
tHANKS A lOT FOR THE SUPPORT TOWARDS THIS LSCREEN.

To use a different wallpaper, choose from settings menu, wallpaer....Lock screen wallpaper, and select any of them.

It will give you a warning that Lock screen wallpaper cant be set, but thats okay.

When you lock your screen, and press Home button, you will see your own wallpaper on the Lock screen.

However the Lock screen wallpaper if dark looks good on this custom made Lock screen and not with a light colour as the date and time are in Silver Colour.

Thanks and yes Genie Widget applies well to this LS.

Thanks

[Android Themes] SoCalSpecialist:
i dont get it..whats the joke.

Try the weather and news widget that comes with miui. I used it and works fine for me
[Android Themes] neobirdrio:
I have many weather widgets. I even restored more than 20 weather widget from titanium...

Now im going to apply the lockscreen.. Look!

And here the result.. OM Goat!!!! Look at the bottom!!! I made it!! Im awesome and brilliant! Its SUPER HD WEATHER displayed on my lockscreen. What a prank. Btw, thanks so much.
[Android Themes] saul1991:
Haha man mine doesn't even show the weather no more lol
[Android Themes] neobirdrio:
I downloaded as .txt file..i dont know why,but i renamed it to .mtz and put the file in theme folder. Applied the lockscreen.. Then... Taaadaaaaa! Real nice hd weather on my lockscreen.. ( u need to manually set up the ls wallpaper, if rainy, hurry up change your wallpaper, if night time, change it again) this is how this 'hd weather' actually work buddy.
[Android Themes] saul1991:
Ok its working now but I'm not using HD weather I'm using the news and weather app that comes with miui. But my weather still shows the sun even though it's almost 11 pm lol. Do I have to also switch backgrounds? Every time
[Android Themes] sunnylovesalman:
Great to know that you giuys finally got it to work.
[Android Themes] punkmonkey1984:
Guys the Weather .png relates to the status of the news and weather widget's output on the weather.

There are only about 8 .pngs included, as this is what the news and weather app by google, needs to display the weather.

example.

Sunny - 1.png

Rain - 2.png

Snow - 3.png

and so forth.

There is no night images because the google app does not tell the difference.

Also it sucks balls at displaying info as well, the amount of times iv tired to get weather for where i live to see ' Weather unavailable please try later' is a joke.

Weather unavailable please try later = no lock screen images

Think this is why people are using 9's weather now.
[Android Themes] sunnylovesalman:
Thanks for the Clarification and details buddy.
[Android Themes] webpatrick:
could you update it to 9s-Weather?

[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Hey guys!

I'm glad to see the beginnings of some development in these forums!

I'm looking to jump ship from my HTC incredible S to move to one of these phones.

My questions are:

My incredible S has background noise that I can hear in quieter parts of music. This is very frustrating, as one thing I love is a clean sounding PMP. Does the optimus LTE suffer from a background hiss as well?

What kind of battery life are people getting when only using HSPA?

Are the rumours about the battery being complete **** true?

Thanks a lot guys!

Hereric
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Hi Hereric, glad u r interested in the Optimus LTE. To answer your questions:

1) I can guarantee 100% that there is no background noise when listening to music on this phone. I use PowerAmp and Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10vi Headsets and have not heard a single background noise on full volume on quieter parts of a song. Just wondering, but are you sure it's not either your headset or the mp3 file itself that is causing a background noise?

2&3) Answering both questions together. To tell you the truth, yes, the battery WAS ****. Notice I said "WAS" instead of "IS". The reason to this is that the battery on this phone somehow improves overtime.

In the first couple of weeks, I cannot maintain more than 5-6 hours before dipping below 10%. But by the end of the first month, the phone literally can last the whole business day on average use before hitting red. Now, nearly two months later, the battery can actually last a whole day (12-14 hours) without charge, again on regular use.

Now what I mean by regular use is, talking on the phone every now and then, constantly having WI-FI and GPS on and searching, browsing the internet, playing some heavy gaming (Where's the Water or Jelly Defense), listening to music for at least 4 hours (2 to 2 fro), and some other things randomly done. I say that is what most people will do on their phones.

Now about HSPA or LTE, the battery usage is now barely negligible. I travel to n fro areas of either HSPA+ or LTE and at one point, it seems the battery takes a hit when it is searching for LTE constantly, but now, it doesn't do so. Again, like I previously said, somehow, this phone adapts to something and reduces its battery usage.

Hopefully that answers your questions. :)
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
The static noise issue is definitely a problem with the phone's analog audio output as I have the same problem on any speakers/headphones using the 3.5mm jack. Bluetooth playback is crystal clear.

Thanks for your response man! Hopefully picking one up tomorrow for 400ish dollars on kijiji!
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
DAMN!! 400 bucks? I hope u can try it first somewhere before buying it. Don't come searching for my head if u aren't happy with it LOL!
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
thats without a contract, so i think its actually a pretty good price lol
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Lol, alrite dude. Btw, don't worry about the lags. Browse through the forum and u will see the things we do to remove or minimize the lags, and hopefully now that we have ROMs, those ROMs will remove any lags once n for all :)
[LG Nitro HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Of those 12-14 hours, how long is the screen on? Would you know if the LG Nitro's / Optimus LTE's battery is as good as the iPhone 4?
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
The Nitro battery is absolutely not going to last as long as an iPhone 4 with similar usage patterns, I know from experience. That being said, you couldn't pay me enough money to switch back to apple.
[LG Nitro HD] jerrygooch:
I had the nitro and returned it. Now I have the galaxy sII skyrocket and they have announced the HD version. I'm within my 30 days. I'm very tempted to switch back. I miss the HD screen! All the skyrockets have a screen defect also. Not to mention I just bought this phone and the new version is right around the corner. (That's life right? :-P ). Now that I can assume the nitro will eventually get cm9 and hopefully miui I believe ill be switching back! Anyone want to further persuade me? :-D

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone can recommend a good call recording app for the Skyrocket? One that actually does work? lol

I've tried a number of them and none work at all. Those that do work only on speakerphone. One that I managed to get working was not stable and extremely poor sound quality.

I find it hard to believe there isn't an app that does provide this functionality for this particular phone. I've always found a good one with all other Android phones I have owned.

Hoping somebody out there found one or tweaked one to get it working properly?
