[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
Hey XDA, it's been a while,

I need a new phone and was considering buying the Atrix and a lapdock for taking notes during lectures. I thought this would be a good idea considering how portable the lapdock is and how many books are in my bag. I already have a beast Core i7 system at home so that's where I would be typing essays, doing research, etc. But for lectures all I really need is some sort of word processing app.

I've been reading mixed things about tethering and lapdock usage though and I don't know that I fully understand what is going on. My phone plan currently does not have any data at all and I am not interested in tethering, just wifi use now and then. Also, I am on T-Mobile.

So my questions are:

-Is this a good choice for portable, note taking?

-Do I need some sort of data plan or AT&T specific tethering plan in order for me to use this at all?

-Can I still use this if I unlock it to T-Mobile?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
Oh, and thanks in advance! :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
Sure, this would be decent option - just keep it in airplane mode and turn on wifi manually when you have access.

Use any of the word processing/not taking apps and you could even record the audio of the speaker/prof to review later.

Get you a decent sized SD card to store that audio though!

Good luck and NEVER stop learning.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrazzyhobo:
I may be wrong, but i thought the apps for webtop were web based? So if you don't at least have wifi in the class you won't be able to take notes. At least that's what I think, I dont have a lapdock so I'm not sure. But if I am, you could always download a note taking app on the phone and the just access the phone screen from the lapdock and take notes in the app. Hope I helped!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troycarpenter:
No, not necessarily, but you could mod webtop following some of the guides and get you openoffice.

However, you can use the mobile view and use one of the Android note taking apps fullscreen.

and yes. it's a good note taking, quick internet access device. i use it for school as well. extremely light and portable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmr2t:
agreed!

Best advice on XDA I have heard in a while!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
Words of wisdom!!!

Thanks for the the feedback, everyone. It's sounding like this might be a great way to go. I was looking at specs and carrying this thing around will be so much better than lugging my 16" cinderblock laptop around in my backpack.

So is webtop an app that is installed on the Atrix itself or is it an "OS" that is built into the lapdock? This is sort of confusing because isn't the lapdock essentially just a screen and keyboard, for the mobile device, without a CPU, GPU, memory, etc?

Also, does the "mobile view" just stretch the tiny screen onto the larger screen or does it actually take advantage of the increased screen size? Hopefully that question makes sense.

Even if I can't use webtop or webtop apps without a web connection, it's sounding like (thanks to xda devs) there is still a lot of functionality in this system. At home I've been dual booting Windows and Ubuntu for ages now so I'm a huge fan of Open Office so that's great news for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
+1 here too. Took the words right out of my mouth. I will add that it makes my bookbag lighter for carrying around my stuff for college. I actually like all the looks I get when i use it since its not the common. People make the best comments ever.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
true the apps are web based but when you open quick office or quick office pro you can use it to take notes and stuff you dont need internet.Also you can save this and edit it and polish it up at home on your pc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbleeto:
I recommend you mod your webtop to a full Ubuntu jaunty installation with xfce4. Like that you will have to stop wandering what it does, because it'll do nearly everything you would expect a laptop to do. I don't know how into modding you are, but check these forums, plenty of info out there :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
Can you do that?! Modding isn't an issue for me. Especially since most of the guides on XDA are pretty much idiot proof. But won't Ubuntu run slowly? Is it even stable?

I'm still not sure how the webtop app works. Is it built into the lapdock or the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mankey Magic:
All my remaining questions about the webtop app and the lapdock have been answered by the google. Thanks to everyone for their replies!

It needs to have capacitive touch screen with at least 1ghz processor and at least 512 ram and at least 4gb men

Any suggestions or reviews on products would be much appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] droidal:
Based on the available(by Feb 18) phones on contract in the US, I don't believe there is a phone with better specs than the Note. If you can't handle the size of the beast, maybe wait until the Skyrocket HD comes out probably in March or April.

I for one am getting the Note on the 18th, mostly cuz I don't use my device as a phone much and want it more for the mini tablet aspect.

I don't believe the GS3 will be in the US for at least 4 months, because they haven't even announced it yet and when they do it will make the euro tour before we see it. I can't wait that long.

[Windows Phone 7 General] </travis>:
Ok so I've been noticing this for a while now AFTER the update (HTC Jan 2012; 7.10.8107 update), really it is AFTER the update. My Trophy has been protected with a gel case ever since I bought it and it is in mint condition. Camera lens was protected with a thin layer of screen protector (I used a puncher to make the protector for the lens), now I just removed this because I thought this was the cause.

I won't be posting the pictures here, but I will provide links because it'll make the post box huge with pictures and stuff.

So this is the photo before update (this was taken late December last year):

http://i41.tinypic.com/24vlc9s.jpg

And this one just a few days ago:

http://i43.tinypic.com/1191n6d.jpg

These pictures were taken at different times, but nearly the same conditions since its summer here in NZ. Although I wouldn't this as a factor since every photo I take now after the update looks like sh*t no matter what condition it may be, even macro shots, when taking texts from laptop LCDs and tv's, it still appear as white-noisy blur picture.

Here's an example:

http://i40.tinypic.com/2dcbyqg.jpg

See this was taken indoors in broad daylight, same conditions as above photos. It doesn't seem to be too noticeable until you really look at the edges (eg. my necklace, or the edge of our fraps)

Notice how the after-update photo has more noise and white and bluriness compared to the before-update. I have taken more after-update photos and they seem to be the same whatever distance you have between the camera and the object. It will look like it has been layered with white glow noise. Also the pink blob is still there when taking white objects.

Hi,

When i read in the desire hd forums many roms are based on sensation xl. So i wonder if roms to desire hd which are based on sensation xl also works with sensation xl?
[HTC Sensation XL] myself11:
No, ROM's have to be ported by devs to work on other devices, so it won't work.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
All roms from DHD will need a new kernel, before you can even get it booting.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] tolis626:
So guys,yesterday my extended battery(original Sammy 2000mAh one) came and,apart from all the other things I noticed,I noticed that there is a "gap" around the camera.What I mean is that there is space between the battery cover and the phone's back.Now,one thing I noticed was that the phone didn't get as hot anymore,probably because the plastic cover isn't in direct contact with the phone's back(where the CPU and GPU are housed) and air acts like some sort of coolant.

What I was thinking is,if we could fill that empty space(with the Honeycomb-like holes) with some thermal conductor(was thinking of thermal grease,the one we use in PC CPUs) and covering it with a little metallic...something,like thin aluminum sheets.Maybe that way,the phone's heat dissipation would be somewhat better.What do you guys think?Maybe this is all a big pile of bull**** I came into thinking,but maybe it's not bull****. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lambstone:
Nope, what you're suggesting is adding some metallic plates to form some sort of heat sink. It will not work. In PCs heat sinks work because they work as a conduit for the heat and then the fan would blow at the heat sink to carry away the access heat. Unless you can fit both the fans and metallic plates into the battery case, its a no go. Drilling holes in the battery cover would however help heat dissipation though I'd imagine it wouldn't look pretty.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tolis626:
Well,I thought about the holes too,but I don't want my phone to look like it was hit by bullets. :p

I have to say one thing.Heat dissipation sucks when there is no metal.Although I have to admit that the new cover makes things better,it's still not perfect.

Any ideas on this are accepted. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lambstone:
By the way, I was bumming about the forums and found references to this particular case.

Polar Bear Case

I know. Polar Bear... but it does look interesting as it claims to have integrated a heat sink.Seems more feasible as the heat sink is directly in contact with the environment as compared to your original idea of having the heat sink inside the cover. Then I had a thought. Why not mod the cover.

(Images are crude as they were done with paint)

The square bits are copper plates

The copper plates are painted black for 2 reasons. Black is a better thermal absorber and radiator. In theory, it should absorb heat from the battery/phone and radiate outwards to the surroundings. The 2nd reason is that black would fit better with the case.

The little black dots you see are actually drilled holes which shows the painted black copper plates underneath.

EDIT: On 2nd thoughts, I think it might be better to source for some cheap ebay cover for this mod instead. The extended battery cover is impossible to find.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tolis626:
Yep,that seems like a possible solution.But actually kinda ruining the phone's back is bad.Or maybe not.I'll look into it when I have time.Thanks. :)

I'm actually looking into buying a metal bumper for my phone.Maybe I could make it so that it somehow fits. ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maroofnayeem:
I'm using a hybrid case. The metal backplate keeps the fone literally "chilled out"
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tolis626:
Yeah,but don't these:

a)Get applied on top of the phone's normal casing like most/all cases?

b)Make the phone too bulky?

I was thinking of getting one,but if I'm going to keep the old back along with the case...I dunno. :confused:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z-Blade:
Hello,

I have had noticed this for a while but though it was normal. Till I am starting to notice that it is taking the GNote screen longer and longer to "warm up".

What is happening is when I leave the GNote in deep sleep for a while (the longer i keep it in deep sleep the longer it takes to warm up) and then wake it up, I get a green screen, but after a few seconds the green colouring will slowly fade away until it is back to normal.

If I put the note to sleep and open it back up in about 2-5 seconds, it will wake up perfectly fine but as soon as I start leaving it in sleep mode for about 5 mins, I can start noticing the green tint when waking it up. When I wake it up after 5 mins, it takes about 1 second to get back to normal, when when I leave it for a good 3 hours, it takes about 5-6 seconds before the screen return to normal.

I just want to know if this is "normal" as I can not find any thread on this forum or in google about this. None of my friends has this phone so I am unable to check theirs. Sorry about the long explanation, I just want to make sure you guys know what I am talking about.

But I do remember that I didn't have this problem in the first week. I think I started noticing this after I rooted my phone when it was on XKK9 but I wouldn't think rooting my phone would cause something like this unless it was just coincident.
