[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
I've tried the HoneyComb on a variety of Android tablets (transformer, Toshiba thrive, galaxy tab 10.1, acer, and some others), and it seems laggy: scrolling the home screen left and right lags when doing it fast. is ICS better and faster on the original transformer (for those who tried the ports)?

I'm planning on getting an EEE Transformer (not Prime) soon, before they get out of the market. Already it got sold out in 2 local shops who put them on promotion, preparing for the prime. I might find the base 16GB Wifi only for around €350.

All android printing apps are printer dependent. Android has no printing layer. I think this is ridiculous. Android has much more potential for being a desktop replacement than iOS (I use it for 90% of the tasks I use my MacBook Pro for) but there is no printing layer.

Cheers!

For the whiny little snots who don't think the TF101/HC is fast enough or must always have the latest versions, ICS ought to be worth it. Everything else is just evolution like Froyo -> Gingerbread. Worth it but not a game killer as long as stuff works. I prefer ICS to HC the same as I prefer GB to Froyo.

On the Prime I really noticed the speed difference in ICS, but was already 250% satisified with the TF101 speed under HC (which isn't all that different from the Prime on HC IMHO).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankwhite8536:
im an update junkie first and foremost but i am eager for ics for other reasons as well. CM9 is awesome. But a stable release allows custom roms to pick out the latest working code. Even a semi stock but optimized rom with custom oc kernel is great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
The only thing that you must have notice was the browser speed. It lags terribly on HC during loading of the page, but from what I read it also lags on ICS sometimes, so I don't know if the update will be worth it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Hmmm..thanks! I never even thought to look in the market, i have a canon pixma mp495, which is listed under compatible printers with the app Canon EPP, so maybe it will work :)

I'll let you guys know if it is worth it. (replacing more and more functions of my laptop daily this transformer is)

Edit;

Wow. Just what i was looking for scan and print! Nice..

Brother Printer App available too

I have a brother wifi printer and there is a nice app for it. It has been updated several times since I first downloaded it. I have it on my tf and my captivate. It has helped me greatly.

For example, yesterday I picked up my daughter after work and went home. She fell asleep about 15 minutes before we got home. And, we were planning on going to dinner because we had a coupon. So, I pulled in the driveway, left the car running, let my cappy connect to my wifi and printed the coupon from my phone. My wife grabbed it and joined us in the car while my daughter continued to sleep peacefully. :)

I never thought a smart phone could help my daughter get a better nap until yesterday.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Opera Mobile has been my daily browser on each, so I can't say that I noticed much. Page loading in the stock still tends to be slow. What is different on the Prime, is how much faster/smoother the ICS UI is compared to HC on the Prime. I'm almost tempted to hit the force GPU rendering option in Settings -> Developer Options, just to see how wide spread it can be.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
You should see Apple's OS fragmentation, it's MUCH worse than that. Steve Jobs was a liar when we told the world of Android fragmentation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Fragmentation plagues any device with frequent OS changes..I'm still on Windows XP on one PC, windows Vista on two of them, and Win7 on another PC..also, my wife has gingerbread on her phone, I have honeycomb on my tab, and ICS on my (identical model to my wife's) phone. Eh..any technology that becomes so quickly updated and made obsolete so easily will create such fragmentation..people can't always afford to upgrade just because their device is replaced with a new model, some people just don't like change even when OS updates are available. This is also exacerbated when the old OS will not run on older devices thus updates are not possible for many people who would like to have them. Perhaps ICS will run for a while until Jelly Bean comes out and allow old froyo and GB devices to leave the market and consumers retire them, and more devices will be consolidated on Android 4.x- will certainly make developing cross-platform apps easier to achieve.

Of course, now that I have ICS, I can't wait to see what JB is going to add to my device..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Yes it will. Because of this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome - I want ICS NOW! :)

Hello do you know if k9 supports push email? I've got a yahoo account and I wanted to use push instead of 30 minute refresh. I thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tasty_chicken:
I think the only way to get push from yahoo is to get the yahoo mail app from the market place.

[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
Hey guys and gals, today while at work my phone decided to shut off and then come back on which isnt uncommon . But when it came back on it is now stuck on the samsung screen and thats it . I can boot into download mode and even into CWM recovery but it wont allow me to mount my sd card to do a restore . So my question is ,what can I do to get this back to normal or will I have to ODIN all over again ? Oh and im on stock ep4d
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
try wiping just cache and dalvik in CWM (make sure its CWM too and not stock recovery, just making sure since you said you're on stock GB) and see if it'll let you boot fully after that... if still nothing you may lose your data and just have to do a full wipe or Odin
[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
Yes its a rooted stock . I have the yellow CWM ,and I have wiped everything I possibly can as Im not worried about loosing the data . Lol looks like when I get home i will have to reodin . But thanks I was trying to avoid that . The part Im really worried about is I tried 2 different sd cards and neither will mount in order do a restore or to flash a new rom . Any suggestions on that ? Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
maybe your sd card slot got fried somehow. I would get the phone up and running by flashing a rom using odin. i know some roms say u have to use cwm, but im pretty sure the allinone rom can be done in odin. if after that u cant get an sd card to work u may need to talk to verizon n see if theyll send u a new charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
Yeah just flash the all on one package. Make sure you take out your SD card before you flash just in case it isn't fried.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
Thanks guys, Verizon sent me a new phone. I flashed the all in one and it worked. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
usually, the phone will hang on SAMSUNG if it can't mount any of the devices (primarily /system).
[Verizon Droid Charge] cbrown245:
I could boot into recovery, and I could not get it to mount to the SD card but it would mount the system. Got my new charge yesterday and didn't waist any time loading it up with infinity. Hopefully it wont happen again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelotorres:
Hi All,

i'm facing a strange issue.

Yesterday my phone was ok, all carriers works great. but after i woke up, my phone only display Only emergency calls.

I tried everything, tried to return to the original rom (Vivo, that is the factory rom for Vivo's carrier, but the phone is unlocked), and the only carrier that works is Claro (strange, why not Vivo?).

My phone have the fake imei (00499...) but in my carrier (TIM) they don't complain about this.

Using Claro, everything works (data, sms, calls), but changing nothing works.

Look at the pics, when using Claro in about phone/Status the phone number is not displayed, but when i try another carrier, the phone number is displayed but nothing works.

What it could be??

An effective help will be apreciated ($$$)

[General Questions and Answers] n00b99:
Hi guys

I should have posted this a long time ago but I thought I could find the info I needed scattered around the interwebs. But I can't. And also, I just don't have the technical knowledge to wrap this project up. Here's what I want to do:

I'd like to buy a cheap android phone to use as a webserver, with an attached external USB HDD. The actual website is on weebly.com and I only need to link in videos which will be on the HDD. The total amount of data is around 1TB and from what I gather I need to connect the following:

HDD -> usb hub with AC power -> android phone running PAW on AC power. -> wifi router -> internet.

However, my questions are:

1. If I use a USB OTG cable, can I remove the phone's battery to keep it always on, connected to the charger?

2. Can the phone handle both AC-charging and data-transmission at the same time?

3. Which phones can run this (supports OTG and PAW)?

My budget is around $200. I've seen people do some amazing stuff with their androids and OTG- cables, but can this specific task be done? Thanks for any help, as I am in an incredible hurry to get this going.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Hello everyone.

I might be trading in my Razr Maxx for the Nexus soon. I have 4 questions.

1. I come from a thunderbolt. That battery is horrid, do you understand me? HORRID. The Razr Maxx is a really nice improvement but I don't need all the juice which opened to me the oppurtunity to get the Nexus. How is the battery on it? I mainly make a few calls, text a lot, check email, and browse the web, watch the occasional 2-3 minute video. Will ROMs fix this?

2. I hear stuff about the signal being bad? It drops a lot? Then again I hear about this leak and it may fix it? What are you Nexus users thoughts on that?

3. How can you describe the overall phone?

4. Lastly, here's where you guys can go crazy, why should I get it over the Razr Maxx?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Why should you get a nexus? Read the dozens of threads in this section asking the same question, there's a new one almost daily. You're asking Galaxy Nexus owners about this device versus a locked down Razr Maxx, take a guess what they're going to say.

All the questions you asked can be answered by reading the threads, some are on the first page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
I'm bored, I'll bite.

1. I get about 3 hours of screen-on time with 3G, maybe an hour more if I'm on wifi. It will standby forever. Custom ROMs/kernels help a little with battery life, but not enough to really change your overall perception of the phone's longevity. I have the stock 1850mAH battery.

2. I generally doesn't display a signal as high as other Verizon phones, but some chock that up to other phones displaying the signal inaccurately. There are a very small amount of people who have legitimately low signal with their Nexus (which can be verified in dBm), and it's usually accepted that these units are defective. That said, I've had mine since 12/15/11, and I haven't dropped a single call or been without data.

3. It's got a nice form-factor (if you don't mind the plastic construction), the screen is great, and ICS rocks. I really like it.

4. RAZR MAXX has it on battery, that's about it. Ice Cream Sandwich is lightyears ahead of Gingerbread, especially with Moto not-blur and a locked bootloader. I wouldn't even consider owning a Gingerbread phone after having a Galaxy Nexus. The form factor is important; the software absolutely makes or breaks a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
guess your right, I'll look around.

edit: Stad, read your post thanks. So it's not as bad as a thunderbolt (idk if you've owned one, it's like 7 hours w/ 4g minor minor usage). And it's not the best battery right? That's my deciding point right there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
Their is only 2 phones to buy.

A Nexus or an iphone.

Everything else is crap. Full of bloat and skins. Never see updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Lol, true.

I know there's always a bricking chance when screwing with root/bootloader shenanigans, but how safe is it on the Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
I totally agree. There are other phones I would consider owning, but only if these two weren't options.

Honestly I keep 4G off all the time unless I need the speed. I don't know about you, but I've found Verizon's 3G to have acceptable speeds for 99% of the situations I'm using it. The ROM I'm using (AOKP Milestone 3) has nice toggles in the pull-down notification bar, so it's really easy to turn LTE on and off if I need it.

I've heard of people getting better battery life. There's a guy over at Rootz who got 4h50m screen-on with AOKP and imoseyon's leanKernel on a standard battery, but I haven't been able to get anywhere close to that.

In real-world usage, the battery life is plenty. Yesterday I woke up at 4am and wasn't in bed until 11:30pm that night, and my phone still had 38% battery left when I crawled into bed. I forgot to plug it in when I fell asleep, and woke up to see it at 36% about 5 hours later. But, if it's not clear by now, not much of that was screen-on.

Unless you pull your battery while flashing a bootloader (which you might do once or twice during the life of the phone, if at all), you'd have to be trying pretty hard to actually BRICK your Nexus. The bootloader is unlocked with a single line in fastboot mode, and ROM flashes-gone-bad can always be recovered as long as the bootloader is borked. This phone is ridiculously easy to modify.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
That's great thanks for all the info.

Did the rootz guy run on 4g or was that 3g, I'll find out myself if u link the post.

Now to stare at the two phones for 8 hours and see what I choose, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
No problem, enjoy whatever phone you end up getting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
This is on the GSM version, but I got 13 hours and 50 minutes of battery my firs day, with over 5.5 hours of screen on time. Pretty good, I'd say!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i have been using the SGN a month now. here is my pro and con

pro:

4G speed

con:

no keyboard prediction on browser

no fixed landscape mode

no permanent desktop mode

3 hrs of web surfing

battery life on gaming? good luck

lag once in a while

photo from stock camera are little bit washout

no facebook sync

Once the signal got dropped, it takes a while to reconnect.

all in all, i need to charge 2 or 3 times per day on average use (my average use). if i dont see improvement on 4.0.4 or future update, i am moving to iphone 5. i have been using android over 2 yrs now and still havent find any advantage over iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Ouch. I'll take that into account. What do you mean by facebook sync? I can't sync friends on facebook to my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
contact sync, it connect your contacts with their facebook account. there are roms out there that has the fix and there are work around, but i dont like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
ah okay got ya
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
Sounds like you need to get a Droid Razr MAXX to address your battery issues. Maybe you guys can do a swap?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
What are your settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
I don't NEED one as my usage won't be enough to really use the 3300 mah battery but the Nexus battery seems enough for me and I can't wait to tweak it with better kernals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
My bad, I was talking to zeke1988. I added his quote to my post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
I'm on Eagles Blood ROM, using Franco kernel. Stock clock with ondemand governor. All I did was undervolt 50mA across all frequencies. I was on wifi for most of the day since I was at home, but my typical work day doesn't put the battery under 50%.

The battery on this is way better than the one on my Amaze was, so that's all I really care about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Have you tried Revolution ROM gravis? After looking through XDA a bit seems like its good for battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
You should try a 4.0.3 ROM if you don't want to wait for the official 4.0.4 update. It alleviates a lot of these complaints.

no keyboard prediction on browser - Fixed in 4.0.3

no fixed landscape mode - I don't think I've ever used a phone with landscape lock. You can lock to portrait mode though.

no permanent desktop mode - Get ICS Browser+ from the market.

3 hrs of web surfing - This sucks.

battery life on gaming? good luck - Not that you should expect battery life and gaming to go together, but I understand where you're coming from.

lag once in a while - It's smoother than pretty much every other Android phone. 4.0.3 brings significant improvements.

photo from stock camera are little bit washout - Yeah, I wish they would embed their color profiles.

no facebook sync - Install HaxSync or one of the many 4.0.3 ROMs.

Once the signal got dropped, it takes a while to reconnect. - Never had this issue but try the new radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
I edited my post just as you posted stad XD

oh and hey guys 1 more thing: I saw a phone faceoff between the razr and the nexus here's the vid for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0XeTC3hjl0&feature=related

Seeing as the nexus lost in every "test" (which I don't mind it's fast enough) Could this be due to the fact that ICS is a fresh thing on the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
1. This was intentional.

2. It has fixed landscape mode.

3. It has permanent desktop mode.

4. I get at least 4 hours.

5. I'm playing games all the time.

6. No lag.

7. True.

8. Facebook is for dinosaurs

9. Nope

All in all I only need one charge to get through the day.

I have been using an android device since 2009 and haven't found any advantages in the iPhone.

Happy now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
Hey just read the CDMA Limitied Support by Google article/thread. (late)

I'm not freaking out or anything since the phone is still pure google, but does this mean that devs now have a limit compared to when they had unlimited resources to build roms etc.. from?

And 1 more thing is does this phone have nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
it's still a nexus and it will still be directly updated by google, they only took it off because of the was cdma devices keys work, and also revolution ROM is pretty bad and thats 99% due to it being on 4.0.2 which seams ancient compared to 4.0.3 which is much better for speed and battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
awesome thanks for reply, do you know if this device has hdmi? somone said through charging port but idk if that's true.

and last question, how does MTP work? is it the same usb transferring method but with a diff name?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It looks like everyone has the GN for $99 on contract now (amazon, wirefly, etc...) man for that price I may pick up another. This phone on 4.0.4 is exactly as I hoped. However I'd love to see the note also once it is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
If you are on Windows 7 it will act the same. When I plug the phone in I get a disk drive with folders and stuff. The difference I've noticed is that I don't need to select on the phones that I want mass storage (I believe that with MTP both the phone and the computer can use the storage at the same time which you could not do with USB Mass Storage) and the transfer speeds are much faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bjgregu:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mac208x:
Had the nexus, i had to charge that thing 3 times a day with was ridiculous. I would have no or low signal 3g at my work. Now i get easly 3 days with 4g on all the time, full 3g bars and 2mb speeds. Will never look at the nexus again, cheap plastic toy samsung ahould step up their game on their build quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riz157:
I personally would not recommend nexus, it's slow, freezes, poor camera quality, far too many bugs even after being rooted. Its plastic feels cheap.

I had sensation XL which inmo is better, even with single core processor. Camera better, build and design far superior. Once rooted runs much smoother and very responsive.
