[Nokia Lumia 900] lovenokia:
i am not sure
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I've just spent the better part of 2 years with Android. Though I've also owned the venue pro and hd7, my primary phone was android. I've recently come back to windows phone. I have the lumia 710, waiting for the 900 release. Though I to get the confined feeling, what helps me get by is the windows phone just works. My last 3 androids were plagued by data connection and wifi issues. Rooting and custom rooms introduced their own issues. No matter what anyone said s, there are stability issues when rooting and Modding. Period! My current Droid is the bionic. In all its dual core glory, side by side with the 710, my little low end, cheap ass T-Mobile phone works like a beast beside the bionic. Ive given up my hacking and slashing days, for now. I think the 900 will be just fine.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jettrue:
I was just thinking about this this morning, about how I am looking forward to trying a windows phone, and guessing that it probably "just works". :p

Though I will say, I am trying an android custom ROM right now called "Ligux" - it was developed by Chinese... it has the most reliable wireless connections - Wifi/mobile/even bluetooth - than any other ROM I've tried. It's done right.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I doubt anyone can say, "it just works", and be able to say its a true statement. All electronics have issues in some way or form. From iPhone antenna gate, to data connections dropping, these forums are filled with issues people come across, in their particular world.

Custom roms are something else. Why custom roms? I suspect someone wanted to see just what open source could do, or rather, what one could do with open source. As problems cropped up, these 'cooks' started to see if they could fix something. And so on. I think now we're at a stage where its, look what I did. Custom rooms don't always mean better. In fact they usually aren't. But some, demonstrate what can be done...and its great to watch and play with. I walked into at&t this morning to pay a bill. It was galaxy note day. Its 5.1" of where will I put it. Its great to look at, but..I can't use it. There is no pocket stuffing this thing. He proceeded to tell me about android. I pulled out my bionic and talked with him. Then I pulled out my 710 and showed him a good alternative.

I'm giving up my bionic for the 900, if, it feels great in my hand. I know there are cool things the bionic can do. There are cool things the 900 can do too. I think the best thing to realize is, find those things you don't like as quickly as possible, and decide if you can live with them. If you can't, send them back. If you can, then, cool. Don't buy any phone based on a future patch, ability to jailbreak or root, or any app that might come out 'soon'. Buy the phone based on what you see and feel in your hand, right now. Take it home to try it out...that's $35 for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, its 2 yrs or $350 to fix the mistake...

The 710 has shown me that nokia, even a low end nokia, with mango, can hang with some of the big boys. My friends at Microsoft tell me, what's on the horizon is even better. I can't wait.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Thresher:
When you go from iphone to Lumia you will lose your proprietary data connection. To some this is not an issue but to others it actually limits the ability of your phone.

You won't be walking in to a retail store and buying "the next coolest dock/speaker" as your phone has no such connector, is limited in design and highly limited in buyers.

I am on WP but everytime I see a new JBL speaker or some cool dock that works on the iphone I get bummed.

Today in the Nokia MWC they showed off their phone with ala a top data connection. So a nice desktop dock means I have to turn the phone upside down or connect some damn wire instead of just clicking in.

TEH LAME
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Yeah, true. But how many docks or speakers do you connect to during any day? For me, I connect to power and but during commute to the office. Then nothing until the ride home. Just don't have the opportunity to plug in much during a day.

But good thing to think about...
[Nokia Lumia 900] Thresher:
I get in and out of my car a lot in a day and the phone goes with me. Two plug ins every time and it isn't just a 'click n go'. Cry for me! :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] EgoMaximus:
I love WP7, it's simply beautiful and works as you expect. Tried iOS, Android 4.0 and did not like them, used because I had to.

My only complain is the lack of separatre volume control for the music/system, which I hope is coming with Tango update.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Don't count on that for Tango. Tango appears to be a side way update for a different hardware set. Should not consider it as any type of upgrade or update for Mango. Though there will be bug fixes introduced first in Tango, before they get to Mango, ie, the MMS bug fix has already been announced as a Tango first release, before it hits others, I would not be looking at Tango to introduce new features on existing and new NON Tango hardware. For medium to Hi End hardware, the next great leap, I think, will be Apollo and beyond.
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I am getting a ReZound tomorrow and I am feeling a little strange about it now because of all the negative comments about the audio hissing problem.

So who actually has this problem and who doesn't. Do the poll.

Update: I got my RZ today and...NO HISSING !!!! I am so relieved.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Have it

Don't care because it only happens when there isn't music and when there isn't music I'm not listening :P
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Maybe is all I can say.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Don't have it, never had it. If I ever did have it, I never noticed it. This is the greatest phone in the history of technology. lol
[HTC Rezound] silverxbv2:
I've only noticed it on ics roms in between tracks or if no music is playing.

Never had it.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Before the OTA I could hear the cpu grinding or something IF I turned media volume all the way off and hit play. If the volume was up I did not hear it over the music. It was never a hiss or a squeal.

Since the OTA I do not hear it at all. And due to my work I have to be able to hear unwanted noise in tracks and remove it so I believe I would notice it.

To be honest, some of the descriptions of noise that I've seen posted I find hard to believe. Not trying to call anyone a liar or anything but that's how I feel when I read them, some of them seem exaggerated.

Also, keep in mind that the people that post on this forum are anal about their phones and those that have no problems don't generally go posting about that, so what seems like a lot of complaints about noise is really a much smaller percentage when you consider all the people who have a Rezound that never even visit a forum about the phone and those that do visit but don't post about the issue since they don't have it.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
No hissing.
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
I don't whatsoever
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
no hissing here

Sent from my REDzound
[HTC Rezound] tcpsyn:
I had it, and it was bad.

The OTA radio fixed it entirely, which I do not understand at all.

Doesn't make any sense to me, but it's definitely gone. Boggles the brain.

I'd have bet anything that they were talking smack when they said they were going to fix it with software. I'd have lost.
[HTC Rezound] not2gutta:
the update didnt fix the hissing for I...
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
No hissing here.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I've never played music on my phone so I just put one MP3 on there and tried. It appears I dont have the his. It sounded pretty good.
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
for me it only hisses when its hooked up to my car via auxiliary cable and when no music is playing. when I'm just using headphones or the speaker i have no problems at all
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Whenever I try to go back a page on my Browser it just "refreshes" the page I am on and it won't return to previously viewed page.This occurs with the Main Back Button on Prime and also the back button within the Browser. It has just started doing this so I guess I have changed something. Does anyone have a clue what I need to check. I have even downloaded other Browsers and I have same problem.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Nevermind it seems the Problem is related to one particular website that I read everyday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
Holding the ICS back button (not the browser back button) will bring up the browser history so you can select the page you actually want to go back to.

This happens on a lot of pages that have mobile versions. You hit the desktop version which forwards you to the mobile version. Clicking back brings you back to the desktop version which again forwards you to the mobile version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Thanks I'll give that a Try. I really read that one site a lot
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryanbmw51:
or try chrome beta...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
I had tried Dolphin and had same results. I will give Chrome a try just to see.

Thanks

I dont know if most of yall already know what this this but any ways 4shared

is similar to dropbox but i just signed up and they gave me 15gb free online storage

and also there os an android app in the market.

I figure id share the info if you didnt know because i just found out. lol

http://www.4shared.com/
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Does it have a desktop app that's as good as Dropbox, for free? If not, yawn.

Also, 4shared has bandwidth limits and waiting times. Dropbox has transfer (not bandwidth) limits, and direct, unf'd-with links.
[Epic 4G General] Tha_Dynasty2049:
lol yea it does have a like a 20 second wait time

but for free and 15gbs im wit it

and umm yea it has a desktop app and its like drop box im makin folders now
[Epic 4G General] destro63x:
I had this installed a while ago and forgot about it....And it syncs with with the desktop...thanks for the reminder.
[Epic 4G General] antmon:
very cool....works well with the 4Shared market app...

thanks :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoklyps3:
I have a SGS II with Simplistic ICS RC7 and my main problem is that it doesn't seem to find the wifi hotspot created with connectify(software that shares your internet connection thru a wireless card) in my work (no router there).

Previousily i was on Miui 2.3.7 and it worked . Doesn't seem to be an ICS issue , more like a STOCK firmware issue, as my coleagues on stock 2.3.6 didn't find the hotspot eighter so i'm thinking it must be an modem driver issue or kernel. any help would be apreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoklyps3:
nobody knows????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I've no experience with connectify, but you could try changing out your kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. Give Siyah a shot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoklyps3:
well the only custom kernell from siyah for ICS available right now is an alpha version. tested it. wifi still doesn't detect my hotspot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sorry, totally missed the part about you being on an ICS ROM.

ANTI-VIBRATION

car mount so I can use the E4GT as a

dashcam

during my daily commutes.

The "exomount universal car mount" seems to get a lot of praise:

http://www.amazon.com/MSW-Exogear-Exomount-Universal-Mount/dp/B004Z8ZLOS

What is everyone using?

Preferred criteria:

1)

ANTI-VIBRATION

PROPERTIES!

2) Excellent suction mounting on any surface (easily positionable anywhere and safe for all vehicle surfaces)

3) Not too bulky and thick.

4) Ball joint (or alternative) to allow for infinite positioning of phone

5) Camera lens port
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
why did you spam post this in two sections?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
he probably came from the iphone and doesn't understand basic social protocol in forums...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
I just bought the linked ExoMount and it arrived 2 days ago. So far I'm very satisfied with it, it keeps the phone stable, is a overall smaller mount than some of the other solutions. The spring loaded clip holds on to the Epic Touch securely. My only gripe is that I wish they made the mount with less plastic and more aluminum/metal. Overall the build quality is acceptable and the mount works great for what it was designed.

I recorded some video while mounted as a 'dash cam' and due to the position of the camera sensor you'll have to slide the phone to side while mounted, or find a mounting position that doesn't block any of the camera's view.

Previously I purchased a universal car mount by Arkon and it was bulkier, the suction cup didn't work nearly as well, and didn't secure my phone.. it would slip off after sharp turns..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ctbearz:
Because if you actually read the two posts carefully, you will realize there exist two different subject matters: dash cam app & dash board mount

Thanks for the personal review!

Yes, I actually was considering the Arkon model as I randomly encountered it while on Amazon. I guess the plastic build makes it lighter?:confused: Hopefully, quality does not suffer as a result.

When you mounted it as a dash cam, did the video come out very shaky from the road vibrations or was it nice and smooth or at least bearable to be used as a dedicated dashcam mount?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
ctbearz, totally off topic, is that a cat in your avatar, and do you have a larger pic of it? wife would totally love it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:

The quality is much higher, but the sound is ass. This is using the samsung mount, recorded 55 mins worth of high def. It killed battery...even though it was plugged in. I had a passenger so I had to set the base in the way. Top speed was 85, in the concrete dip it bottomed out.

This was on a closed road, and done by a professional driver...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Use either the stock windshield mount dock, or the Samsung Infuse one - see if the special is still going for $15. Either way, both have the hole cut out for the camera already for this reason.

If you've had windshield mounts that vibrated in the past, chances are they were mounted on a gooseneck or similar, that can be set into oscillation really easily. Neither the ET4G or Infuse windshield mount are like that, these are solid, adjustment made with a ball that tightens rigidly with a collar nut. That means these won't vibrate any more than your windshield itself.

And there is some vibration protection in that the suction cups are rubber/silicone. I suspect your past experiences are not vibration but oscillation though. Cars themselves don't vibrate, or shouldn't...

If your windshield is vibrating, that's bad news - could indicate your motor mounts are shot, they are supposed to isolate vibration (Google NVH).

If you mean eliminating jarring when you drive over potholes - that isn't something that even advanced camcorders with anti-shake can fully resolve, and it's done at the digital level, not built into your phone. Rubber mounts won't do anything for this, other than possibly increase oscillation - sort of like driving over a bump in a sports car, then riding over it in an old Cadillac - you feel the hit more in the sports car, but it stops instantly, where the old Cadillac absorbs more of the initial impact, but sets the suspension in oscillation, bouncing up, down, maybe up, down again, eventually settling down.

If you've got some sort of specialized application like a drag car with a V8 and solid motor mounts that you want to record your run down the strip, you'll need specialized equipment. Standard cars don't vibrate, so you'll be fine.

Also, the stock mounts come with a disk backed with double-sided tape, so you could adhere it to the dash and suction-cup mount to that disc as an alternative to the windshield.

It's also the standard four-square-post mount, you can clip off the actual phone dock from the suction cup mount, to adapt to another mount, or you could fabricate your own, and still have the solid phone mount. By far, the ET4G or Infuse factory dock will hold your phone most securely, and without allowing for oscillation, more so than one of those grab-your-phone-via-foam-pads that has some play and give even tightened up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
In regards to an ultimate dashcam APP, I think a good work around for the screen being on issue is an app called screen filter. It allows you to super dim your screen to variable levels, and disabling is as easy as touching the active notification in the drop down. So, you could lower your brightness all the way, then find the right level in screen filter to where it's barely visible (youll need to be able to see a LITTLE so you can disable it...or else pull your battery lol.). It does work while in the camera app, I've done it before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tugasaovolante:
Less vibrating mount than this one

I found this video on youtube ... (Link its not available) search for ExoMount Vibration Test on you tube

it have some moments where the movie vibrate a bit.

Does any one have informations about a better dash cam mount?

or this its the best one?

Good news. Google Wallet "fixed" and provisioning of cards restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell12:
My wifes GN is now working fine, my GN that I had reset my wallet is not. All I get is the "Try Again" or "Remove Card" options. I called Google they sent me to Money Network who was a overnight call taker, didnt know much of anything. He created a ticket for the issue. Thank for info OP, at least I know they are not planning to take over the world with my $20! LoL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kr.puneet:
I tried activating the card, but it still states that service not available....Contacted Google and they informed that the pre-paid card is temporarily unavailable now....am i missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
yea this is a serious tease.......ugh

sidenote

the really really odd thing, i just called them about a hour ago when I didnt see these articles yet and neither google wallet or money networks had any freaking idea. they basically said "we hope to have a fix by friday, if not monday"

wtf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's weird. Mine's working and shows the card/bank info and everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
It is definitely back up and running again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell12:
Did that, they are claiming Google hasnt done its part when they obviously have. Perhaps I should call again, it was rather early in the morning when I called. The reps didnt seem to know much of anything, both google and money network blamed each-other, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheek360:
mine isnt working at all ive cleared the cache and even uninstalled and reinstalled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
From what I've found, the announcement about prepaid working again is for new users - those that haven't set up Wallet on their devices before.

Folks that have had Wallet and kept their data intact during the "outtage" *should* be able to continue to use Wallet as normal.

Those who wiped their data (as I did in preparation for a ROM upgrade) are still waiting on their prepaid cards to be made available. This is what I found out when I called Google and Money Network this morning; I'll call again tomorrow and see if there's any change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheek360:
Thanks for the update. Plz update us tomorrow after your findings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just went and tried to buy batteries at Rite Aid with my phone. Payment came up I held it on the terminal, then entered my PIN and put it back on the terminal. After a couple seconds it said "sent" but the merchant never got confirmation. I took it off the terminal and it gave an error saying to have the merchant reset it or whatever. Tried about 4-5 times it did the same thing every time.

Anyone else have this experience?

Also, looking at my transaction record it looks like the first one actually went through... but my balance doesn't reflect that, and it never gave me the merchant name or $ total. Thinking maybe they messed something up on their end? And after the first one didn't get accepted it blocked me from accidentally making multiple purchases?

edit: In the notes area, I wrote that. It was blank.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tolon777:
You most likely needed to hit "ok" on the physical terminal. Some stores you don't, some you do.

My wallet isn't working either. I had data in it (showed $3.XX balance), but it kept failing when I tried to add funds. I reinstalled and now I get the "Prepaid is unavailable" when I try to add the prepaid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No prompt on the terminal at all. It just sat blank. Never got prompted to choose credit/debit either as the Google Wallet tutorials say you may have to select "credit" if possible. The terminal was blank the whole time : /

I know it may be having issues now but this experience isn't making me confident about Google Wallet. I really really want to be able to use this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I'm just glad I used all my funds before this **** hit the fan. I loaded up an extra $50 on it but blew all $60 at Best Buy at once. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
agreed i put 90 on it and went around, but now I have like 11.97 on it which is just sitting there because of this prepaid issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I heard trying to get your money back is a real pain in the ass. They deduct $5 (maybe more or less) to make you a check, mail the check, and then it takes a few weeks to receive. This whole situation has now become an ungodly mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I have a thread for that. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
it is indeed a pain. i dont plan on withdrawing those funds. if needed ill resell my 2nd nexus (already sold the first one for another wallet issue!!!) and get another........thats how badly i love this feature....

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

i called them as well yesterday morning and they said the same, fix hopefully by Friday if not Monday

keep in mind the google rep didnt help at all but the money network guy.....kind of.....did?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
How would you go about linking the prepaid card to the market by the way? That seems handy...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheek360:
Ditto..........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
I purchased SetCPU about two weeks ago. I stopped using it because my phone started to get choppy, so i disabled all my profiles and disables start at boot. I kept the widget alive cause i had a free space on my widget screen but since i installed that, i see that the CPU stays a lot at this speed. I rarely see it at 1500mhz. Not sure if its normal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
could be that widget isn't refreshing because app is no lo.Ger installed, which is probably the case
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
yes it is refreshing because the temps keep changing, the app is installed, i just disabled it from managing my cpu but its still there. also, if you knew how setcpu works youd know the max is the highest frequency allowed and the low, the lowest, it is not by any mean a indication of current mhz, so something keeps changing my cpu profile...but what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kenneth.Torres:
You can check your CPU levels with the app cpuspy on the market.
