[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Google Voice will only allowed sending 150 texts a person per day unless you are using the SMS forwarding, something my fiancee learned after a month of like 10k texts (combined).

You can use Google Voice to forward texts to a dumb phone and only have to worry about your carrier. No application on phone required.

Other services, I'm not familiar with.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
Hey all, just spotted this article regarding a new Nook model coming this Spring. Not sure if it's legit, just wanted to spread the news...

Link: http://www.webpronews.com/barnes-noble-preparing-new-nook-2012-01

What do you all think? I'd be agitated if this turned out to be true...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] OMGitsShan:
Hopefully its just a mid to low end model. At this point the disappointment in the NT has me already eyeing the Kindle Fire 10 inch tablet rumoured to be out sometime this quarter. Hopefully they will have higher capacity models available this time round.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
I don't know what price point they would be going for. The NC and NST are already covering a large swath of the market. With the NT at 250 (USD) and packing hardware to go toe-to-toe with most other 7" tablets I can't see what market they are planning to go after.

Barnes and Noble announces the Nook Supreme our new 10" tablet -- for the low low price of 500 (USD)? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
Probablya refresh of the touch. If it isa10 inch, the price needs to be under350
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mike_IronFist:
Is there a revision to the Nook Tablet coming?

Eventually, we could safely assume. After all, the Nook tab is itself a revision of the Nook Color. But "soon?" No way. That sounds incredibly unlikely and uncharacteristically desperate for the second biggest competitor in the ebook reader business. (the iPad doesn't count because it's marketed as a full tablet.)

The current nook tab already outperforms the Kindle fire in terms of raw power and battery, so I don't think B&N would be dumb enough to revise something ahead of the of the curve like that, not this early in the game.

However, it does seem very possible for them to announce an altogether -new- tablet that's perhaps a different form factor than the NT, i.e. a 10 inch tab or something similar.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
If it is another Tab then I'm seeing a locked-up tight boot loader, tighter than the NT. I have heard several people say "I use the NT with the Kindle app" this equals B&N going the way of Borders. B&N is not making very much profit off the Nook, if any. Their goal was to make money off the content purchased from their device. Maybe they would make more if they gave use what they promised, where's the B&N downloadable movies feature?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mike_IronFist:
Well, the good news is that nothing is really more or less "tight" when you get down to something like that. If the bootloader of a device is locked and not rewritable, devs just have to find an exploit for it. The time it takes to find such an exploit is variable and tends to depend on the efforts of the hackers, not the OEMs or Original Software Devs. Of course the hackers aren't guaranteed to be successful.

Back in the early days of Wii hacking, the devs for that project had a game-based exploit that was patched by Nintendo, but in the process of patching it there was another hole left for an exploit that didn't require using a game or any complex software at all.

If B&N make a new device, the security on it might be different, but I doubt it will be more or less difficult to crack than the Nook Tab. Like I said, any luck with cracking such a device will be up to the hackers, not B&N.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ChillFactorz:
My point of the post was more about time lines in finding an exploit, B&N seems to have locked the Tab more than the Color. I would expect them to know about XDA, read the findings, figure out were the leak was, and patch it. Thus making their next device more time consuming to unofficially unlock the bootloader. It's obvious that B&N wouldn't be doing the unlocking, no profit in doing such. For B&N it would actually hurt them, due to allowing the end user options to buy books, apps, movies, media else where. Then again, I hear B&N was lazy enough to use some codes from the "Color", and not even change the name of the device to "Tablet" within the code. So we might have the satisfaction to see some more laziness. They might use the same approach to the new device, allowing Devs to, revert back to their NT notes and instant unlock, that would be nice.

No matter what, reasonable pricing would be expected.

Hey!

I have a little noob question. I have installed a theme (Nabeel's ICS theme), I flashed the zip, but can I just install a rom over it? Thank you in advance for your help.

Ridder215215
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max-E-Moose:
First you install a ROM, boot it up at least once THEN go back into CWM and flash the theme over the ROM.

The files in the theme write over the original ROM files - that is how the theme is applied (at least through CWM it is).

If you are using CyanogenMod then that ROM has a theme chooser in it which can apply a theme without needing to use the recovery or reboot the phone.

Total noob question btw, you should do a bit more reading before messing about with your lovely device at this level - You don't want to accidentally brick it! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
Thank you, but I actually meant that I had a theme installed, and if it would do any harm to just install a ROM over it. But thanks anyway. I did it and it works, if anyone is interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ClawDaddy:
Hello,

I am running the AOKP MS2 Rom on my Galaxy Nexus.

Using the app "Traffic Monitor", I noticed abnormally high data usage by a system process. This week alone android.uid.system:1000 has uploaded 650 MB of data (only 4MB down). This accounts for 82% of ALL of my data use in the last week. What is this system process doing which is uploading so much data?

The situation is the same for wifi with this process uploading over 2GB of data.

Traffic Monitor lists this process as the following:

- Android System

- com.android.RTN

- Key Chain

- Settings Storage

- Settings

- System UI

- VpnDialogs

- Google Backup Transport

- ROM Control

- SDM

- SyncMLSvc

I have tried googling around but haven't found anything which would explain why so much data is being uploaded by this system process.

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ClawDaddy:
Update

Update: I found that the Google Backup was using 2-300 MB of data per day. I have disabled this feature (thus also deleting my backups). I may turn it back on and monitor data use later to see if a fresh backup resolved the issue.

Is this the typical data use one should expect from using the Google Backup feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herrVonBaum:
same problem here except im on stock. I'm showing ~770 mb over 4 days reported by GNex's integrated data tracker and ~550mb by vzn. I also use wi-fi regularly. I've checked every app's data usage and can't find the culprit- ran a few google searches as well and other users seem to be having the same problem. I have a hunch that this is a software bug for one of the apps- possibly constantly refreshing and pulling data when it shouldn't.

Also, recently started using google music after switching from audiogalaxy and that could be it. However, never had data issues with AG and would assume the same for gmusic- data usage for gmusic shows only 1.2mb though, so its either mis-reporting or isn't the data hog. I'll try that Traffic Monitor app and see what it reflects.. but either way, this isn't standard for all Gnex users so something is uniquely buggy to our phones..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DuhDroid:
After reading many posts about using SIM cards I was wondering if I could use my T-Mobile Hot Spot SIM card in a 6800? Has anyone used a T-Mobile SIM in their 6800?

I bought the 6810 thinking I would just use the Hot Spot to connect when taveling.

Now I may have some buyer's remorse that I didn't get the 6800 and insert the SIM from the Hot Spot thus only having to carry only one device and not two.

Otherwise I love the 6810 WiFi only.

My Hot Spot is a pay as you go plan so I buy a data plan when/if I need it

Mine is the HK version from Negri.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
OK, this post was really confusing...

Let's start over. The P6810 is the Wifi only model and the P6800 is the 3G model.

Which one did you buy, and what is your question/issue?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
So you have the 6800? That's the model that has a cell radio (and a SIM slot). The 6810 is WiFi only and you can't use that with a SIM card.

At any rate, you're probably not going to get anymore than 200 Kbps speeds on T-Mobile with the 6800.

Are you just lamenting that you paid more for the 6800 since you don't use the SIM card with it? What is the issue here?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DuhDroid:
"Jade Eyed Wolf: OK, this post was really confusing...

Let's start over. The P6810 is the Wifi only model and the P6800 is the 3G model"

Duh...:rolleyes:..my bad.....I OWN a 6810 WiFi only. I just wanted to know if someone has used a T-Moblie SIM card in the 6800 3G.

Sorry bout that. I have made the numerical correction to my original post.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
OK, that makes more sense.

To answer your question, yes, you can use your data-only T-Mobile SIM card in a P6800 with no issues. However, due to the hardware in the P6800, you won't be able to take advantage of T-Mobile 3G; you'll most likely be stuck on EDGE, which is much slower. T-Mobile uses 1700mhz AWS for its 3G service in most of America, and the P6800 does not support this frequency band, unfortunately. However, some T-Mobile users on the west coast have been reporting that T-Mobile is starting to roll out 1900mhz 3G service in certain areas. The P6800 does support this frequency, and thus you would get T-Mobile 3G service if you happen to be in one of those areas.

One suggestion I would make, considering that you are a pay-as-you-go customer, is this:

If you ever wanted to trade your P6810 for a P6800 instead, AT&T GoPhone offers a $50/month pay-as-you-go plan with unlimited everything (texts, MMS, voice, data); the whole kit and kabootle. AT&T's network is fully compatible with the 3G 7.7

If you had this, and especially if you use Google Voice, people could call or text one number (your Google Voice number), and you could get everything on both your tablet AND your phone simultaneously.

Food for thought ;)

Alternatively, if you're happy with your P6810 as it is, you can always just tether to your phone for data access on the go. Additionaly, assuming your phone is an Android device, I would highly recommend an app called Tablet Talk. With this app, you can synchronize, over Bluetooth or wifi, all your SMS between phone and tablet. Basically, in real time, as soon as you receive a message on your phone, you can read and respond to it on your tablet. Also, the phone keeps a log of any SMS you make from your tablet in its own native SMS app as if you had responded right from your phone. Pretty nifty stuff! Oh, and it also shows caller ID on your tablet when someone calls too! Totally worth the purchase!

Hope this has helped! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DuhDroid:
Awesome! Yeah that is the info I was looking for. Now I don't feel so bad about my 6810 purchase...I am on the east coast so wouldn't want to have to deal with being on the EDGE.

BIG THANKS!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Sure thing man! Hey, looks like you're just across the river in DC there. PM me if you wanna grab a beer sometime! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Munk0:
Hey, let's revisit this because now that the Samsung Note is working on T-Mobile's 3G/4G USA perhaps the hardware is capable of doing such since the Note was originally thought to NOT support the 1700 frequency bands.

Could someone try flashing the same modem.bin's that enabled 3G/4G on the Galaxy Note on their Galaxy Tab 7.7?

Please, please, please try. Hopefully no boot loops or stuff like that happens. But, don't hold me responsible for any troubles it may cause. Here's the link to the Samsung Note hack for T-Mobile 3G/4G:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
That's the LTE Note (I717), not the original Note (N7000). The N7000 has the same SoC and frequency bands--and presumably identical cellular hardware--as the P6800. The I717 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC with integrated baseband that does support pentaband UMTS in hardware, and there are alternative radios that support AWS, sourced from the T989 (T-Mobile US GS2). Nobody has ever found a radio that works on the N7000 that supports AWS however, so even if the hardware does have the support (which is unlikely), it can't be exposed.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Munk0:
Thanks Teiglin! That is an answer that had eluded me with all of the articles I have read. Geesh I'm frustrated but at least that makes more sense now. I just want to get a larger than 4.5" screen device like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0" that I'm using now. Of course, it needs to be able to make phone calls and work on the TMobile USA network.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sivarticus85:
I know the EVO has a MIUI port, I was mainly referring to the ICS mods in this rom. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. The way this thing looks is awesome.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
lol my bad. But i think its a theme, I think its called dark mix but not not to sure. We don't have a stable ICS one. But looking in the OP i can't tell for sure if it does or does not have any ICS parts to it

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] JKILO:
not that it isnt possible but have you seen the github for it? i was looking earlier..its going to take someone with lots of dedication and a real means to build it from source. it has to be translated and everything would have to be built for the shift. if it stayed gb it wouldnt be as hard just cause there is already an overlay and vendor setup but for ics its not completely stable and then again someone would have to do a lot of translating. not many people use miui on the shift so itll be hard to find someone to do it..imo..i could be wrong though
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Yes I understand that. I'm hoping they'll post the gingerbread overlay source. Translations when added to the source are not just for each device but all devices just like cyanogenmod's repo source. And if we ever expect a miui ICS Rom there is going to have to be a overlay for the shift either way, so I'm sure the source for it will be posted...

Was there ever a fix for the 1x and SOS signals in the status bar?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
What do mean by 1x fix? 1x just means that your not on the sprint 3g network. Cyanogenmod roms do the same thing...if your getting poor reception in your area I would take that up with sprint. Also make sure you on the latest and greatest cellular radio, 3G speeds and connectivity has improved a lot. If it doesn't improve I'd have to say you have crappy service in your area. I'm getting 3G consistantly where I am.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
No...the 1x and SOS show up on the screen even when there's great reception. They never go away. I have great reception where I am.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Oh hmm, it must be a issue with the base miui rom. Not really sure. Jefftet is the maintainer currently of the base builds. Maybe he could have some thoughts on it. There's no source for miui yet much of it is still closed source so there's not really much we can do on our end now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Yeah its a problem with Miui. I think Jefftet stated that a few pages back or it was on his thread or maybe even JKILO's thread lol its in one of the three threads :P too lazy to look for it

Hi everybody,

I have an LG Optimus 3D and i'm triying to enable the crt off animatios, but in bools.xml the line <bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>, the word "false" comes by default, so if i change to true or false do nothing, no crt off animations.

My question is: which are the files that create this animation? what i need to edit or replace?

the other thing its the Advanced power menu, i follow some threads to do this but i get nothing, iedit frameworks-res,apk, edit android.policy.jar nad shutdownthread.smali and nothing, some recomendations for this?

There is nothing wrong with the screen its the way the software calibrate.

Try changing to left handed and you can write on the right edge but not left.

For the bottom most try turning the screen up side down then you can wrtie on the toppest (bottom) of the screen.

The s-pen is calibrate to be not on the center of the tip of the pen but somewhere above and abit to the right or left depend on your setting (left or right handed).
