I like it alot better than zagg cause it still has the feel of the glass. With that said, it probably won't protect as well as zagg, but it shoud do the job just fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russ9127:
Hmm is have both realook and the zagg coming so ill check it out. I bought the zagg and then read all the reviews of the realook and bought it. I have dropped phones before and accidently have done things to scratch screens but all the phones I had with zagg came out okay. I guess ill just use the realook and see if it holds up. It makes me think that they don't hold up as long since they give you two!

What Android phone with Straight Talk, options?

Contract is up with Verizon with 3 phones on group plan (2 BB Storm 2's & 1 basic LG), have yet to look in detail on Virgin & other similar pre pay/pay as you go plans, but I think Straight Talk is by far the most affordable, ($45/30-Day Unlimited Service Plan) even though reviews on ST customer service suck, I may have no choice due to budget

I will likely buy 2 of the same model smart phones from Straight Talk/Walmart and 1 basic talk only 'other phone' My goal is to reduce yearly cost even if I have to spend more up front to get started, I'm new to Android OS, I think its the way I want to go from BB, I need the basics for business: web, email, gps, etc.

-Should I go with used devices? ...Going with used devices is new to me, not super tech minded so modding them is not comfortable for me unless its a tried and true fix

-Can anyone confirm that my current BlackBerry Storms are not compatible with Straight Talk?

I'm happy enough for now with the Storms, its just the V plan is killing us

-Recommendations for Android device to go with?

The only Android Walmart/ST choices I found are: Samsung Galaxy Precedent and & LG Optimus Q, both use Sprint (so far my search shows I should get good signal in Phoenix S. E. area but I have no experience with Sprint)

I find mixed product reviews for both, mostly lock ups, battery heat and poor battery life
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Try virgin mobile, more phones then straight talk, they have 5 great Android phones more to come, all plans are unlimited text , data email check the site and phones out
[General Questions and Answers] over's tab:
I'm reviewing Virgin now, only thing is I did more research on Sprint coverage in the Phoenix area and it is not looking so good, both Straight Talk Androids and from what I understand, all of Virgin use same towers as Sprint

coverage is priority so I need to feel better about Sprint or limit myself to whats available on Verizon (there coverage is best I ever had)

..on separate note: I just found site on how to unlock Verizon phones

http://techtips.salon.com/convert-verizon-wireless-phones-straight-talk-20453.html

don't know if it will work. Perfect if I could: unlock my BB storms, transfer to monthly pay plan like ST with phone, text, data functional "BUT that is a lot to hope for"
[General Questions and Answers] justan00b:
Uhh, that guide is completely wrong... ??

1) Verizon is CDMA, and their phones don't use SIM Cards like Tmobile/AT&T?

2) Call Straight Talk and tell them you want to use an unlocked phone with their service? Good luck with that, they'd say no way, and to buy one of their phones. That's like calling Verizon and saying you want to use an unlocked Sprint phone on their network... don't think so.

3) "Step 8 Turn on your phone. It should recognize the SIM card and display the Straight Talk network." -- yeah, even if you used an AT&T phone and did a SIM swap, it isn't as easy as just using the Straight Talk sim card.. there are additional settings you have to change to get data/mms working

If you want a Verizon phone working on Straight Talk theres a lotta crap you gotta do, not anywhere as easy as that.. plus if you get caught by ST might get your account canceled.
[General Questions and Answers] over's tab:
Yes, I thought it was not likely (name like "salon")

still looking for alternative to ST or Virgin, been researching this:

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-57347763-251/republic-wireless-now-unlimited-for-real/

very interesting and innovative idea but in beta now and not taking any new customers er ...members

also its SPRINT! I may have to just try Sprint w/ ST or Virgin etc. and test real world signal/service and decide in warranty period
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Ya there review is there opinion, some may agree or disagree so you try it, if you don't like virgin mobile just take back the phone and get your money back

Hi, I am currently off of contract and am seriously looking at sprint for their unlimited internet and free calls to any mobile. Problem is I live in Seatle/Tacoma area and have seen a lot of posts (old ones) with people saying they only get like 1-2mbps speeds on their phones. Could someone with a 4g phone in the area post some speed tests please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I rarely ever use my 4g in the Seattle area. When I have it's not been half bad but it was not for long extended periods of time.

I've got great connection. Actually very fast and if you are in the area, it's probably worth it. This is mainly due to clearwire.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Watoy:
Ok so this is my first time doing this so I apologize for anything wrong with it. I made this script because I don't like using 3rd party apps to control voltage/CPU freq. This script will set the freq. to 245ghzmin and 1.2ghzmax with the lagfree governor. You will need some kind of explorer that can r/w your system files like root explorer or script manager to edit the 01vdd_levels which is in system/etc/init.d

Unless someone can make a flashable so people can flash thru recovery.

#!/system/bin/sh
sysfile="/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels"
echo "245760 750" > $sysfile
echo "368640 775" > $sysfile
echo "768000 850" > $sysfile
echo "806400 900" > $sysfile
echo "883400 925" > $sysfile
echo "960000 975" > $sysfile
echo "1036800 1025" > $sysfile
echo "1113600 1050" > $sysfile
echo "1190400 1075" > $sysfile
echo "1267200 1075" > $sysfile
echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 1267200 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo lagfree > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

This will do everything in boot, so I suggest downloading CPU master and incredicontrol and set the freq. And voltages through them first to see if it will be stable for you, as it is for me. If its not stable you can change some of the voltages yourself to your liking.

I know its a simple script, but I hope it will still help people

If you click the QandA link in my sig it will take you to my thread. Take a look at the "Second Page". That's how I've been doing things for a while. I need to fix the script in the box, but I think you'll like some of the stuff in there. There's a lot more you can do with a script than just CPU settings.
[Android General] lemonoid:
Just a heads up for all of you folks with Motorola devices. I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but Google and Motorola Mobility have provided add-ons for the Android SDK that you can download within the SDK manager to help target Motorola Devices specifically and more accurately with device-specific emulators. The list of devices can be found here:

https://developer.motorola.com/docstools/tools/

When downloading the packages within the SDK Manager you will need to provide MOTODEV account verification, which if you do not have one it is free so shoot over to the MOTODEV site and register. I just thought this was exciting, being a Bionic user that likes to mess around with Apps, especially because of the LONG list of Moto devices that have add-ons now in the SDK such as the Razr, DROID4, ADMIRAL, Atrix 2, Photon, and various others....
[Android General] jordanpa:
Sorry for the late response... can you provide an updated link for motorola SDK add-on. The one you provided above is now redundant.

and put the barcode font into /sdcard/fonts/
[Android Themes] rustyguy:
Hey, sorry to bring this up, but apparently some of us suck at this.

I, for some reason, can get this working with the barcode. But for some odd reason it stacks the barcode from 0-50 on one level and 51-100 on another. Tried making it 1x4 widget but that only cut off the second half...

:/ tried going through some tutorials but can't figure out how to make a custom version of the battery layout.
[Android Themes] incanitee:
When I made it, the widget size was 4x2, and then just add each 0,10,20,...,100 battery digit sections in Minimalistic text. I use like size 70-80 for the font, as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] afbengochea:
Hi guys I'm pretty new to the world of Android after going through several generations of iPhones I got bored and love my GS2. Now I see that there's a bunch of roms to choose from and I was curious if there were any websites that specifically review them. In a non biased way. In reality I'm looking for the ROM that has the best battery life but is hard to know based on the individual room descriptions. Thank you in advance and thank you developers for giving us so many options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Your best bet would be to skim the ROM threads and make a decision on which rom will suit you best based on pros and cons that users report. The number of hits each thread has gives you a vague idea of the popularity of a specific rom. Really the only person that can make unbiased reviews on these roms is you because in the end the "best rom" is entirely up to you and your specific needs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
FLASH THEM ALLLLLL

Honestly, all the roms here are quick and smooth.. my DD (daily driver) right now is dewizzed + faux kernel + gideon's script (incredible battery life)

I chose dewizzed because of the simplicity of it.

people say that synergy has good battery life with dewizzed, but you might encounter a few lag stutters here and there? not sure.. im actually testing it right now.

Okay now if you want it to be more stock, i recommend Juggernaut rom, that's probably the best touchwiz rom out right now.. battery life good but not as good as dewizzed.

If you want to see what an android is capable of in a theme category, check out thursday's rom, Tuesday. I played with it for a couple hours but the purple was too much for me. great rom though.

Haven't really tried any of the rest. good luck and welcome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Djapatos:
Since i got my gs2 about a month ago, i flashed the bombaridier 3.5 rom and i never look back.

If battery life is ur top priority this rom iss for u. I easily get 18-20 hours with moderate use everyday. Plus its stable and fast. All i have done is put the ics theme and thats it

Give it a try, u wont regret it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kkg720:
If you want a site that reviews roms and gives some good advice and tricks for the gs2 then go to galaxys2root.com they have stuff for all versions. Btw i am not afilliated with the site at all, i just use it to see the roms before i flash them :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Let me just start by saying that the more well known you are the more fans you will have. Unfortunately the other end of the coin is that you will also have more critics. Always remember that you have more fans than critics. If you take care of your fans they will always take care of you in return. Unfortunately you cannot take care of them all right away. The higher the demand for service support adds a lot of unnecessary and undesired stress. I understand this and I think that most others do as well. Take what time you need xboarder and we'll see you back when you're ready. Take your time. Turn off your private messaging function and gtalk. I do it everyonce in a while too just to regain my sanity.

As for everyone else, it's difficult to express emotions via text on a web forum. Please always try to be mindful that there are sometimes other possible interpretations of what you say. A harmless sentence that you intended to be a sarcastic joke can cause a developer to leave, flaming in a thread and even possibly disciplinary actions.

Speaking of... I should warn that this thread should be used as a "support xboarder thread" and not a "criticize xboarder thread" so if I see it going that way I will close this thread and issue infractions accordingly.

Another note, xboarder closed all threads that he had opened. This also means that support for the device will be limited because uninformed members will not be able to post a reply to the existing threads. I am sure it is inevitable but I don't want to see a dozen new threads popping up asking basic questions about roms or recoveries. So I encourage

everyone

to search and read prior to posting a new thread. This should be common practice anyway... unfortunately we all know how attractive that is. :rolleyes: Now if you happen to see any threads getting out of hand then use the report thread feature on the top right of the post in question. I'll be alerted to the post and will look into it as soon as I can.

By the way, if anyone start flaming in THIS thread I'll be kicking their @$$ and taking names! Then giving their names to other guys @$$ I kick! ;)

Thanks for your time.

The amaze is now dead hehe. Let's see What there is to complain about now. Enjoy your break x.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
For all you people asking why you get flamed, this is why!!! We cannot afford to lose xboarder! Don't ask to why the other phones have stuff we don't have, don't ask for ETA's, Don't ask for ports. Everything here is provided for free. If you really want to see a rom ported maybe you should pay 100 bucks to xboarder, then he might be willing to listen to you and your requests about ICS, AOSP, sense 3.6. Making a rom is not like making a top raman.

on that not, x just have some time to yourself, you practically running 90 percent of the dev sections and answering questions and answering stupid questions and being asked for ETA's ports etc. I understand.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:
It's a right shame it got to the point where a well respected developer decided to pack up shop for a while. I assume everyone who had less than kind words for X knows who they are and realizes that the lad was doing this for free all the while keeping up with school, life, etc. There's no need to harass anyone around here, let alone the standout developer on a device which has a rather small community as it is.

As it stands, I don't blame X for going on a little sabbatical and hope that he returns feeling better, all the best to you buddy!
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I was going out for a few hours and got back kinda late after Binary closed the other thread in which some son of a ***** like and asshole trolls, whom, obviously did not read about NO ETA and acted like a ****ing kid ...

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
That's what happens when lazy people take good things for granted.

I actually kinda like the idea of having this time to reflect on what we value most. Plus I believe that xboarder was getting kind of irritated and overwhelmed by all the demands for service and requests. As a former developer myself I can relate how stressful it can be. I refuse to develop for the Amaze for this very reason. As a developer you can get a very bitter attitude with some of the demand. As a moderator you can get very bitter with all the responsiblities you have to take on. Just imagine having both! I don't think that I could develop anything like xboarder has though. My point is the overwhelming demand for support, neverending e-mails, gtalk conversaions, hate mail, thread replies, requests and criticism is very rarely worth the very few donations received. Of course this isn't (and shouldn't) be about donations. However keep in mind that this 16 year old is missing out on a lot in his young life just to please the community and it'll be great to afford to have a good time everyonce in a while. An even better way to support him is by giving him the peace and quite that he needs right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Take as long as you need buddy, we'll be right here :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I look at this problem on a different perspective. I think there are some guy that more of a jealous when X got so many fans around here. I follows his Google+ and saw his proof that the CM team were wrong - that's kind of hurting their (CM team) pride quite a bit though (truth always hurts isn't it?).

And then someone else started to provoked him just to got him angry. Look at the name of those who provoked him by asking ETA on the ICS, they all new to the Amaze forum. I'd bet that some of them are clones from banned nick - or at least, friends of those hatred loosers

I am totally agreed with X's re-action on both working alone rather than working with trashes, and packed his stuff, lock his thread. Heck! I bet that guys like Revolution can do **** about the Dev'ing
