[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
3500mAh Battery

It's been a week, and my battery life is going UP. I plugged in today, and at 1931 hrs today, I still had 61% of my battery life left. I have not had any appreciable decline in battery life, nor reduction in longivity. With the stock battery, my phone is completely dead by 1715. I unplug daily at 0800. My battery life has easily doubled by purchasing a no-name battery from an Ebay seller. I'm quite impressed with it, and I spent $80 on an extended battery when I had my TP2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] neozengar:
Has anyone try those 2500 mah batteries from ebay? I am interest in buying those since they are only 4 USD each. What do you guys think?
[General Questions and Answers] thegenk:
Hi guys, after a lot of time spent looking for the right tablet I came up with these two and with the idea that 4:3 screen wins. Now, which to choose?

they have the same price

touchpad is discontinued but le pan II has a somewhat inexistent support

touchpad comes with CM9 (altough an alpha) le pan II with honeycomb and a promise of an update to ICS. But it's not 100% sure, since they promised an update to gingerbread for the le pan I that has never been released.

hp touchpad has a huge community working on it, le pan II has a couple of developers and altough they are great guys...they will always be outnumbered :)

last but not the least, hp is present also here in europe and warranty would not be a problem.

most of the pros are for the touchpad..but I keep thinking that buy a discontinued product for the same price of a brand new tablet is wrong.

I need your opinions :D
[General Questions and Answers] buddyclub94:
Hp touchpad if you find one!
[General Questions and Answers] baro93:
I have the Le pan ii

It's very fast but has some problems :

My Le pan ii has light bleeding on the corners but little bit (no big deal).

Honeycomb version has bugs , I have force close ussually with the browser ( install dolphin,opera,firefox ) , sometimes with youtube and gallery.

And rarely the app drawer doesn't show the apps.

today the vibration stop working for 30 minutes i guess , I solved this problem restaring the tablet and let it rest :D .

the volumen and power buttons is difficult to press :rolleyes:

After that , all works fine , i runs Gta III , osmos , Tiki kart etc...

I hope my post help you :D.

sorry i don't speak english properly xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pät:
Hey,

I think like most users i bought an Sony-E Phone because i was used to the good quality of photos. But the quality of the neo is a bit disappointing... There are still some good configuration possibilities.

Ill try to make a list:

Pro:

+ Shoots very fast

+ with a stable hand can take good pictures in low light conditions

+ A lot of options (Focus, smile detection, britghtness setting...)

negative:

- Quality isn´t that good, the transition between colors is a bit chompy.

- low contrast and saturation.

So normally i take a picture and after that i edit it in picture pro (normally only contrast and brightness settings)

So i thought it would be rly great if a dev could mod the camera.apk with some auto contrast/brightness settings.

From editing a lot of pictures i would propose settigs like:

Contrast: +20-25

Exposure: +10

Brightness -10

(Saturation): +10 (can be oversaturated with macro pictures)

This settings are enough to make the picture look way better, but also not to artifical. (Optionally make a camera mod, where the user can configure his own settings)

--> Btw. I used the search function and i found from different threads, that pic qualitity is bad, because of the 2x2 Chroma sub-sampling (Processing) and that with Camera 360/Camera zoom (quality not 100) you can take pictures with slithtly better quality :D

(credits go the the discoverer)

(Ps. I hope my english was not to bad :P it is not my best subject in school : ))
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
Agree here but is it even possible to mod the camera app like this....
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Too many fingerprints. Too much oil. Inhibits the use of Trace keyboard. Have to be wiping it down multiple times per day. Sticky, rubbery feeling. I'm done with Zagg InvisibleShield. I will never buy one again.

Sigh....now that my rant is over, does XDA have any suggestions for a better screen protector?

I'm looking for a very thin, unnoticed-type of screen protector. I don't want one that significantly alters the look and feel of my HTC Sensation 4G screen.

I don't need a screen protector that is heavy duty or anything like that, I'm more worried about feel and screen distortion as opposed to screen protection (I never put sharp objects to the screen of my phone :D)

Anti-fingerprint preferred. Well-known company preferred. :)

Any help or information will be greatly appreciated, and I'll be giving out thanks to all that help. Thanks XDA!
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
The solution to your problem is Skinomi.

It's very perfect. No yellow-ish tint. No sticky surface. No fingerprints.

It has the same installation method as Zagg.

Give it a try. ;)
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
+1 for Skinomi. Have had it on my last three devices. Screen still feels like glass and it doesn't smudge nearly as bad. Much easier to apply than the Zagg as well. Protector is a much more stiff so its easy to place properly. When done well, hard to tell its even there!

If you buy on Amazon there are a bit cheaper. Think I paid $8 for mine. Or if you use the skinomi site, use skinomi25 for 25% off at checkout.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Skinomi?

I have never heard of them before. Is it kind of like a "barely-there" type of screen protector?

EDIT:

Their TechSkin looks like the same kind of stuff that Zagg InvisibleShield is made up of, but I'm sure I'm wrong.

I'll have to check it out.
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
I would say that it provides the same amount of protection as the zagg just doesn't have the tacky feel to it. Also much easier to install. To me the zagg always seemed 'floppy' and hard to place well. The skinomi is a bit more stiff. Try them out, I'm sure you'll like it!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
+1 for skinomi. Looks and feels great and finger print resistant it seems. And If I scratch it it seems to repair itself.

Made in USA too
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
lol, that's true. seems like a "scratch auto-repair" screen protector. WTF :D
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
You guys managed to scratch yours? :-P

The only thing I've ever noticed are small dimple like impressions on it from things pressing up against it. Usually works itself out in a day or two.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Not permanently:)
[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
I'll have to check out skinomi. I've been using bestskinsever as they're quite cheap, but the replies here have me second-guessing that choice.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Update: I bought BSE and Skinomi.

Currently I have the BSE on until it pisses me off. Definitely better than ZAGG, but I'm tempted to put on that Skinomi TechSkin that has been sitting in its package.

Do you recommend Skinomi TechSkin or DryTech?

[Motorola Droid X2] Lord Nykon:
I want to go to the new Eclipse, but I am currently running CM7. Do I have to sbf back to 2.3.4, then install the 2.3.5 zip before I can install it? I know what to do after I sbf, just curious what I have to do when I start.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Some have reported success running eclipse on the 2.3.4 kernel. So you may be able to just wipe the big 3 and flash eclipse.

However, if you want to do it as it's meant to be done you will need to sbf. To flash 2.3.5 you have to be on stock 2.3.4.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Sbf is only option.

Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
Yeah, if you want to do it right with the least possibility or amount of issues, SBF back to 2.3.4 stock and go from there.

Personally, I see no reason to upgrade to 2.3.5, I see no benefits between the two and notice no performance improvements. I am having the best luck with CM7.
[HTC Wildfire S] rowleyfa:
Could anyone explain why is this Wildfire S always mentioned to be my wife's phone? This is very strange.

Sent from my wife's htc Wildfire S that cursed to be S-on
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
even on the commercials it is mentioned as girls phone... but wtf, HTC Rhyme is MADE for women and the research showed that much men would use it also...

So i don't mind... I guess we have a 'girls' phone... or wait, what ? what makes it girlish except it's small and has a pretty decent price tag on it ... :rolleyes:
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
this is also why the phone is so hard to crack. additional protection that women can't do anything wrong
[HTC Wildfire S] Larrs:
It's like small cars. They are also advertised as a women's car and even men likes small cars. But only if it's more sporty and little bit faster or their wifes is taking the big car to work.

And this is what we do with our phones. Make it a more interesting for us.

I like the Wildfire S even it is has not a fast cpu/gpu.

The only strange thing about this phone as a women's phone is doesn't has much variation of colours to choose from. Something you want to expect for a women's phone.

[HTC Wildfire S] rowleyfa:
I got it now. Thanks everyone!!! :):):)
[HTC Wildfire S] bobdamnit:
Everyone I know that owns this phone is male lol. Including myself.
[HTC Wildfire S] -Duir-:
I use Wildfire S (A510c) as well and am also male.

I think the reason you might see someone saying "their wife's phone" is probably because us guys (IMO) are more likely to be the ones that are into doing all this stuff (rooting/s-off/unlocking/adding ROMs) to our phones. Subsequently, since we think it's so cool, we're more than happy to it for them too.
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
I've noticed that too; it's hilarious xD

Well, it does kind of look like a girl's phone (hell, mine used to belong to my mother) and I must admit, it looks gorgeous in white, and I don't usually like white things when I have a black variant to choose from.

I've had several people tell me it looks like a girl's phone because of the color and the cookieishness (it kind of looks like a cookie to me :P), but they've all also said that it looks a lot better in white than in black, so I'm guessing it looks tasteful, and people just mistake good taste for femininity/gayness ;P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultim8:
Hi I have tried flashing my S2 but have run into an issue.

So i installed clockworkmod recovery 4.0.1.4 with the intention of installing cyanogen mod.

I then rooted the device using S2 root which said it was successful.

This was confirmed when i then installed and rom manager premium.

I downloaded Cyan from within rom manager and proceeded to install.

I selected to wipe data and dalivk.

The phone rebooted but hung for a long time on the white 3d triangle with an orange exclamation mark.

It then went into the clockworkmod recovery and I rebooted presuming everything was done.

Then my phone started as normal but went into the original rom but there was no app's, icons ect. I rebooted and app's icons were back.

So I rebooted into recovery mode again and tried to update from sdcard. no difference. So i read that wiping data/factory reset might help but now all i get is the boot loop between my carrier startup and the standard S2 startup.

I can still get into recovery and download mode but when i enter download mode I cannot see the phone in odin.

I have also tried putting the update.zip on my sd card manually from a PC download and use recovery mode to install it but thats not installing it either.

Any ideas or is my phone fubar?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] xlr8me:
Pretty simple Q.

Is this tab worth buying, or should one wait for something better around the corner?

Hearing many issues from screen problems through to lag on the interface. What are owners opinions-pros/cons? I am looking specifically at 3G model.

TIA.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rmm200:
There will always be a better device off in the future somewhere.

You should buy what serves your needs now; not wait for that illusary future device.

People that post on these forums are the ones that have strong opinions. "In a pitch black room with a dim display I see ghosting". Don't let posts like that worry you - the average user does not use the device that way.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the best device with it's form factor available today. Try one and see if you like it - that is the only test that counts.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cannow:
In my view definately the screen is very sharp and clear , the issues noted are not very evident with the screen at least with mine far superior to the P1000 . The lag is due to touchwiz and honeycomb not the hardware. ICS is round the corner and should put this right if not im sure the devs on here will. As for something round the corner always is only a year since 7" came and at the time I thought that was cutting edge . I have had mine for two weeks 10/10
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
10/10 here too.

no issue at all.

I consider Tablet + Phone at this price = cheap!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] reiconol:
This. Because of it's form factor I think it's the best tablet out right now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Coolman4now:
This TAB is amazing, I recommend it.

The TouchWIZ UX is lagging on top of honeycomb which isn't helping, so ICS will iron all these out.

You can get rid of the lagging by using ADW Launcher EX.

GPS Performance?

Hi all

For those who have the 7.7 (3G or WiFi) - I am looking at purchasing a 3G import...

Just interested in the GPS performance as i've read varying reports on how good a sat lock the unit gets...

I need something that will be reasonably reliable and want to use it with OziExplorer mapping software...

Any reviews or info from actual users of the tab?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Coolman4now:
Well, the GPS performance is stellar to say the least.

I'm using Sygic and Google Maps, it locks very fast.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:
I would also give it a 10/10

It is exactly what i was looking for I do notice some slight lag in the launcher but every android device i have ever used has had slight lag in the launcher.

When I get into apps though this thing really flys.

The screen simply can't be beat and i have watched a ton of video on it already and the high resolution makes reading things much better too.

the device size and weight might be my favorite part. It is light enough that holding it for a while is not nearly as bad as say holding an ipad for a while or even holding my old nook color for a while. And talking about the nook color the gt7.7 has about the same over all dimensions as a 7" device yet has a larger screen size that really adds a huge bonus.

I am using the $30 a month tablet plan on att and it is working great.

Lastly I wanna say I reallly like the stock browser in this device it is extremely smooth and quick.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Coolman4now:
Get rid of the TW Launcher, use ADW Launcher EX. Its very very smooth.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] eletro:
Totally worth the buy!

The display is big, clear and sharp, sound is great on the speakers.

But the main attraction for me about this tablet is that it can last thru my entire workday and still have over 50+% battery left. (thats about 12hrs of non stop radio streaming, hundreds of gmail pushes, phone calls, and brief browsing of the web)

Basically this device replace my ipad + phone + phone charger.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coffmad:
to be honest, at a sie by side comparison between my sII and the galaxy nexus, i prefer my sII, it feels more sharp and up to date somehow, and it is more powerful that the Galaxy Nexus, not saying the Nexus isnt nice, its very nice, just doesnt feel or look quite as nice as my sII... the screen is cool, but im not exactly squinting to see on mine, superAMOLED plus on the sII is something to behold, it is the best by far, i would wait and see what the sIII brings to the game if anything, everything the galaxy nexus can do bar NFC (on most models) the sII can do, i wouldnt sell it for anything :)

EDIT: will add i am running ICS LPB on my SII, and it is fantastic, smooth as butter :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
i've made the switch to the Nexus. much better screen. feels better too in hand. the development is also at lightning speed on the nexus, youre always getting the purest and latest. i would say that you try it out yourself, do some side by side comparisons, then you can make the decision.

ive never looked back :D

if you think 16gb isnt enough, you could also consider the 32GB GSM version: http://www.expansys.com/google-galaxy-nexus-32gb-black-224348/

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rydeordie99:
I actually got a nexus, and after one week sold it and went back to my

galaxy s2.

The things that I liked on the nexus, were the screen, audio quality, call quality, mic quality, overall smoothness of the ui, the feel of the device, and how all drivers are open for all the hardware on the device.

But, the s2 is just faster (even with ics), the blacks are blacker, camera is much better, and live wallpapers don't lag the device. Also, I didn't realize how useful some of the touchwiz features are until I didn't have them. I like having so many options for roms.

After much deliberation, I ended up deciding to keep my s2 and wait for the s3, but you may have different opinion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teiglin:
You're not going to find many people here who will suggest you switch to a Galaxy Nexus; most people who wanted a Nexus have already jumped ship. For videos, the extra resolution isn't even that big a deal--it's much more relevant for small text. Compared to my brother's CDMA Nexus, I prefer the color reproduction of the GS2 screen, though I do think the Nexus feels nicer in hand with its curved shape.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Although it is a matter of personal preference, I would stay stay with your SGS2 for now. There is a difference between the Galaxy Nexus and SGS2, but its not that different and its slightly difficult to say that the Nexus if better than the SGS2 all around. With a lot of new phones announced and new one coming (MWC 2012), best to stick with the SGS2. Within a few months, plenty of phones will have ICS and there will be phones that are much better than the SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus.

MIUI is far from iOS, it has some really nice features. I probably wouldn't use it but it would be great to see on the Prime.
