[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
So i been using my SG7+ since Dec 6th.. and couldnt be happier... i have had my share of the sleep of death issue and other hickups but i've been ussing the reccomended fixes...

for the sleep of death im using soflocker free and have not seen the issue ever since.

I did not like the jerkiness of the touchwiz launcher and switched to the ADWlauncher EX. that thing is fast... anyways, there were things i did not like for instance, i was not able to get full screen videos... untill i instaled honeybar (Yeii :D) had to instal button saviour too.. its a must...

Next i hated that i had puny icons on the home screens and could not figure out how to change them to the high res version icons that touchwiz uses... bumping up the icon size does not change them, they only look larger but blurry...

then i wanted more screen real state so i installed lcd density and then a funny thing happened... when i lowered the density value to 120 it changed the icons to the Hires verison... so i kept playing and found that at 130 it looks fantastic...

it also gave me a new toolbat on top (status bar) that i did not have before...nothing to jump about but i guess it was not showing up because of the screen resolution limit.

im happy now...

peace.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Now just out of curiosity, since you said you adjusted the screen density, does the stock browser still work or does it crash? I've heard of it crashing before when you mess with the screen density?

And I agree the ADWlauncher EX is so much faster than the stock one! My only gripe is I had to lock it to landscape on account it stretches the heck out of stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
The stock browser works fine at 132...However i dont use it, i use dophin, ohh I changed the density to 132 and it made some widgets look a lot better...

Yeah i dont like how AWD streaches stuff either, but its a matter of finding the right grid size so that when it does you still have a good looking widget. Im using a 7X7 grid size and it looks great... ill see if i can post some screens.

The only gripe i have is that if the device reebots or i turn it off i have to do the density thing again. No biggie though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
Ok, I've found a few apps that wont work properly with the lower density value... like the Memo app in portrait... I do use this type of app so I changed to Slide notes... for now...

I dont know if there is a Density changer app that can change only for some apps and not all? i might be asking too much.. but oh well i cant have it all. :rolleyes:

for now im using 133 for density value, and seems to be the best for me right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] antiochasylum:
Guys if you are rooted you can hard code the density into the build.prop

For this I'd say use root explorer open it, navigate to the system folder, mount it a R/W. Then open your build.prop file in text editor.

Find this line, or add it which ever one.

ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx

Make the xxx what ever you want it to be. 132, 133, 120 or whatever. Then save and and reboot. Done. Now the density will stick everytime.

Thus eliminating the need for any sort of density changer app. Unless you just like changing it every time lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
So you are saying using an app it just applies it and after reboot it goes back? Or is it more broad (across all apps) like gucabe is looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
Thanks a lot Antio, i'll give it a try tonite.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rendler:
Good tip, I've been trying it out at higher levels in an attempt to get the proper notification bar back without usable results, but I never did try moving it down.

At 130; the button bar is a good size now, so that I'm not having to use honeybar (great app!) in a lot of the apps that I'm using. Also, now the notification area can display 3 icon notifications instead of the usual one in portrait (MAJOR BONUS) !!

Nothing abnormal encountered so far, fingers crossed.

I'm loving it :)

Thanks again!

UPDATE: After playing around now just two things I've noticed: it's actually able to fit four icons into the notification area, and also the "Stretch/Zoom to fill screen" toggle is a little bit not needed and is taking up one of those spots.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
I cant never gwt button savior to work. The only button that works is the back button and nothing else.

For example, pressing. The Home button didn't do anything.

I am using Go Launcher, btw.

130 dpi & Contact

So far, I get problem with Contacts & Samsung keypad at 130dpi.

FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
Well i have not made the ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx density change because im not all happy with some apps that default to a higher resolution screens. for instance the email App in portrait mode i cant see the left side of the page when writing an email. it's like it grew in canvas but more than what it needs to get viewed full screen on the SG7+

The solution is to rotate to landscape and you can see the whole page again... however i like typing in portrait...

Im still in test mode for the rest of the apps... i do preffer this resolution because of the added icons on the status bar... that rocks...

For a keyboard im using an ICS type of keyboard. i like the bigger keys and less keys on screen than the samsung one. works fine, however the previews are wonky while typing...

so again im still at 133 cause i find it to be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] antiochasylum:
Messing with the DPI always causes issues somewhere. Its just a thing about finding out what you can, and cannot live with :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
Totally... I see a lot more advantages than disadvantages so ill stick with the 133dpi. I have added the thumb keyboard and this makes things easier to type in landscape mode, in this mode the samsung email and memo apps works fine.

Everything else is working fine.

120dpi is too tiny for my eyes... 134dpi and above doesnt change ADW launcher to tablet mode with HD icons... but 133 does... so its my personal sweetspot.

Thanks, and i guess ill be trying build.prop change next.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
Well just to give you guys an update, i've opted out of the 133dpi... my eyes were hurting due to font being smaller... i know itryed other fonts out there and got better results but it was like trying to make everything bigger again??? then i saw in another thread that the SPB launcher was a good option as a launcher and decided to purchase it...

Im so pleased now that i have dropped the 133dpi resulution for the standard 160. This launcher is so gorgeous.. and has the hd icons in a reduced way that they look just right... My eyes are very happy now... :D

So now im running SPB 3d launcher + honeybar + button saviour. Every thing looks just fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rogerperk:
This works alot better than the program did and and saves some space. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] alanyoshi:
I'm changed from 160 to 133. I saved it and reboot, but then it stuck at Samsung logo. It doesnt go to the desktop. How do i fix this? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] [David]:
Stuck into boot logo? Reflash your ROM without wiping! If you don't know how to, and if you have no rom into your device just go into CWM advanced mount and storage and mount it as external storage. Put your rom into and flash it. You'll have everything back even your DPI

That is all...
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
I concur :] its going to be difficult moving to a new device come April. I always worry that the community wont be as cool and awesome as the Dinc's is!

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I'm really going to miss it when I get a upgrade. We have really nice and very helpful people on the community family!
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Cheers to this. It's weird seeing less activity these days due to people upgrading. I've learned a lot here in just one year of joining XDA.
[Droid Incredible General] username235:
This phone was awesome, I still have it laying around next to my computer, with WarmTwoPointThree, but this Rezound is such a perfect thing to upgrade to. It's nice to see a phone grow up like this, whereas with the inc, I started lurking here back when Sense 3.0 was going around, and the biggest thing. ICS Sense is awesome guys, just saying :D
[Droid Incredible General] liteon163:
Yeah, everyone here has been really helpful. But I'm starting to see other forums here develop similarly as their phones are rooted.

I was lucky that by the time I rooted my AMOLED DInc (a year after getting it), there was already a strong community here to help me through.

But perhaps the most important lesson I learned is that, while HTC hardware is nice, I don't really like Sense (especially now that I've been running CM7 for a year now). If HTC introduces an HD phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset, I'll be all over it. If it's a different vendor, then they will get my money. You see, now that I see how easy it is to customize a phone after it's gotten rooted, I really don't care too much about who made it.

And if I don't like any of the phones announced at MWC, I'll probably pick up an LG Spectrum and see what I can do with it...
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
i think im going to keep this phone till it dies. its the perfect size. i get great battery life and will all the development that has gone into it. It might not be supported but the great devs out there but it still lives on.
[Droid Incredible General] Sleepy-T:
I'm so glad I went with the Incredible (although late). The only gripe is I use the 3500 extended battery and wished I didn't have to, as it does give it a bulky look.

But like they say, it's what's on the inside that counts right?

I notice I have been keeping tabs on the so-called HTC Edge/Endeavor that is supposed to be revealed next month. :o
[Droid Incredible General] tsupersonic:
Definitely a great community for help, and also some of the best dev's are here. I bought a Fascinate (for a semi-upgrade), and the community is lacking there. Sadly, I think I'll be parting the Incredible, for an upgrade to GN or Rezound.

If only HTC decided to make another Incredible with Rezound specs, and 4" 720p display with ICS/4G :D
[Droid Incredible General] Sleepy-T:
A 4" screen is the most ideal IMO. I have no qualms with watching movies on the 3.7", but as I matured with the phone I guess I should step up in size as my video viewing has increased immensely.

A 4.7-ish" screen sounds scary but I'm sure I can adapt.
[Droid Incredible General] fp99:
I finally went to see the nexus at my local Verizon last night and wow...compared to the inc screen, it is kinda big. I do want to get it for ICS, 4G, font facing camera, etc. but I don't really need a screen that big (that's how I feel), I guess I’m going to wait a bit longer to see what's coming out in the next few months. Plus, I hate the fact that after being a vz customer for a long time, the phone upgrade price is higher than a new customer price. (I saw new customer price on amazon.com for $99), why don't they have incentives for users to stay with the same company.

Also, I wish there was a doc or something listing the devs/themes/testers/etc. of the inc and where they are now in terms of dev/themes/etc, which phones they have moved on to....sometimes it would make switching a bit easier. :)

PS --- I love the droid incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] tsupersonic:
Exactly the same way I feel about the GN. The screen is too big, I wish it was like 4.3". That's my limiting point. 4.0" would be ideal, and add that with 720p resolution, that would be a dream come true. You have a high PPI, not to mention, smaller screen = lower battery consumption (compared to a bigger screen). I'm due for an upgrade next week, and I'm leaning towards the Rezound. I just wish that phone was thinner!
[Droid Incredible General] countryfolk07:
The GN is really only a 4.3" viewable area. Its just that they have on screen buttons that take up that extra .35" but yeah it goes seem huge. Rezound feels nice, so does the Razr. MAXX. And the battery on that thing is 3300mah!!!!!! Holy Cow!

[Droid Incredible General] JeramyEggs:
I miss the incredible community. I upgraded to the rezound, and though there are many familiar faces from here, it is not the same. Newtoroot, Nils,and Bored are all there with new Roms, but some of the other members are alot more rude, and hostile than here. I was just cruising through memory lane. This post got my attention, and just wanted to say you are right on the money. This forum is a great place, and I wish we could all upgrade to the same phone at the same time. Peace.....
[Droid Incredible General] Alton (Halo 2):
I will be heading over there in 6 months :')
[Droid Incredible General] greenteg:
I was able to pick up my dream phone (Weird how much we value these things now, isn't it?) August of last year after 4 months of research and another 4 of hunting one down. I found mine minty fresh used amOLED for $150 outright and never looked back.

1900mAh battery in stock back casing, Seidio Active Case, and Steinheil Ultra Clear screen protector.

So what does that give me? A small, quick phone with battery life up to 3 days, internet, maps (my favorite), and friends just a click away. There isn't a device made today that can touch us, which is why our Devs have gone so far.

Thank you everyone, now let's make it to the next course of dessert, shall we?
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
If it weren't for the Incredible, I wouldn't be set on an AMOLED screen for my next device. It is astounding how amazing it still looks even next to some of the latest devices!

I don't care what anyone says, I'm hoping to dive into a Nokia Windows phone next. Specifically, if some of the kinks are worked out and a couple more functions are added by the time June comes around, you better believe I'll be hitting tiles and text and shooting with a Carl Zeiss lens! UberMusic on my Dinc is just making the desire even more intense.
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
WP7 does look fairly cool and the features aren't much different from Android. You wouldn't lose much in regards to functions which is great. I have UberMusic as well and love the WP7 theme for it.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
^ This. I've had my upgrade available for a while. The newer phones generally get worse battery life vs dINC with mods- and I'm also not a big fan of the super large screens. I easily lasted the day with stock, but I put on the 2150 just to make sure I never had to worry, so while my buddies with the samsung galaxy nexus and moto razr go to plug theirs in at work I'm not even worried.

There's huge amounts of development here, people are awesome (unlike some forums I've visited :rolleyes:), and there's nothing on my phone that I feel needs an upgrade. 3G speeds can stream HD youtube, web surf and stream internet radio flawless so I'm all set until this baby dies or there's some god-like phone that comes out.
[Droid Incredible General] bmo21:
This has been a great community, I like many others have moved on to other phones. It is still a great back up phone so it is nice to pop back in here to keep up to date on new mod and roms.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Out of curiosity which phone. Always cool to see people on the galaxy nexus. :D
[Droid Incredible General] bmo21:
Just got 4G in the area so I picked up a thunderbolt off craiglist for cheap money. I just couldn't decide between the nexus and rezound, so I figured I'd wait till both have ics and see which I preferred.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] REM152:
I recently received my G2x back from LG for a faulty sim card reader and now it is still saying "invalid sim" with "MY" simple mobile sim. Now the crazy part is I used a simple mobile sim from a friend and it read it for a good 5 minutes allowed me to make a call and then it said invalid sim again.

When I called T-mobile they stated to me that apparently the phone was purchased on an installment plan and was never payed off and it is permanently blocked on the tmobile network. But as I mentioned before it allowed me to make a couple calls in a span of 5 minutes or so on the simple mobile network. So how can it make calls if it is blocked on the network?

So what can I do to make this work on the Simple Mobile network because it worked for a matter of 5 minutes before it went back to saying invalid sim card.

Would rooting the phone go and circumvent all that and allow me to use???

Please can someone help me figure this out cause everything on the phone works but I cannot seem to access the simple mobile network.

You need an unlock code. Pm jboxer.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] REM152:
The phone is already unlocked.....I spoke to tmobile and they are telling me the phone is "EIP" and the apparently the person who owned the phone cancelled the account and never paid the phone in full they told me that the phone would be able to work if I opened a new account I went into a tmobile store today and attempted to do that and it did not work what so ever.... This has turned into a giant mess and I basically have a paperweight as a phone because no one at the tmobile corp seems to be able to help whatsoever... I've even inquired about speaking to a manager and the reps tell me the supervisor will have to call me back and still I have yet to receive a phone call. Mind you I've been a loyal customer prior for over 5 years and never was late with payments. It truly bothers me as a consumer that something simple like this cannot be resolved and to make matters even worse that no one can give me a solid answer and just a guess and a brush off. I apologize for the rant, but this has got to stop these large cell phone companies treat customers like blind stupid sheep.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
This is getting confusing. This is not what you stated in your original post.

"I recently received my G2x back from LG for a faulty sim card reader". "When I called T-mobile they stated to me that apparently the phone was purchased on an installment plan and was never payed off and it is permanently blocked." Now if it is a phone received back from LG how did someone else come involved. Pay the balance due on the phone and lift the restriction. Or contact who you purchased the phone from for help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] REM152:
Okay let me clarify when I first received the phone it stated on the phone "Invalid Sim Card" so everyone I got in contact with told me to send in the phone to LG for repair for having a faulty sim card reader.

I did this and received the phone back and documentation from LG stating that they fixed the sim card reader and that it was fully functioning with a tmobile sim card.

Now when I inserted my sim card from simple mobile it was still reading "invalid sim card" so I contacted Tmobile and they stated to me doing some research that the account was being blocked due to the device being purchased on an installment plan or "EIP" as they call it and never being paid off in full.

So I asked them what can I do as far as lifting the restriction off the account and removing the IMEI block so the phone will function.. And they told me I could do nothing because the phone is listed under another persons account and they have to pay it off before the block will come off...

So, my question is what can I do am actually stuck with a paperweight... Cause this was bought for me as a gift from craigslist... Can rooting the phone bypass or can I use this on another network other than tmobile/simple mobile???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
If it is blocked using the IMEI number there is nothing that you can do to get around it, unless you can get in contact with the original owner. I have found Craglist is not the best place to purchase electronics for this very reason. Wish I had better news for you. Sorry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Did you call LG and report the problem? It sounds like they didn't fix anything. If the phone quits reading the SIM after 5 minutes that could be a short circuit.

I do agree with others who say you won't be able to use the phone with T-mobile again. The guy on Craigslist screwed you on that. But you should be able to use it with Simple Mobile with no problem.

One thing: try and find a friend who has an AT&T phone. Put his sim card in your phone and see what happens. (You could even go to an AT&T store and tell them you want an account but only if your phone works, so you need to test a Sim card in it first. See if they'll let you test one.)

I PM'd you with a bunch of troubleshooting steps for Simple Mobile. However, you really need to talk to both LG and Simple Mobile customer service to get their opinion on what is going on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Doesn't Simple Mobile run off of TMobile? I'm not in the US but that was my assumption. If so, the IMEI is blocked with both carriers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I would recomend staying away from custom kernels. Some swear by them, but it adds another variable when trouble shooting. If the phone is operating correctly (no defective hardware) and you follow the instructions many of the Rom's available should eliminate your issue. I do not recomend to batch reinstall your apps from TI. One at a time and test. Trouble shooting is a pain but you should be able to get beyond your current issue if your phone is not defective. We are seeing the second and third round of defective phones being sold to others as working phone. Same small number of phones passed off to some poor guy. Unfortunate but true.
