[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
The trick here is there is no such thing as the best Android tablet. There simply isn't.

What there is, is the best tablet for a specific purpose, of which there are many (for obvious reasons).

As for my opinions:

If you want to use your Tablet for business work mostly, then the Toshiba Thrive is probably the best bet.

A decent all-rounder with good support and hackability but rather uninspiring in most lights (particularly the TouchWiz UX UI which I find irritating), would be the Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you want a powerhouse, and play plenty of games, but don't care quite so much about battery or ruggedness, the Transformer Prime seems a good choice.

If you're looking for a more media-focussed tablet thats very portable with some very unique ergonomics and functionalities, the Sony is definitely the way to go.

For a cheaper all-rounder thats only going to be doing a little light gaming and apps, you can't go past the Acer Iconia series.

Extra-portable users would have to choose between the smaller Iconia or the Galaxy Tab 7.7 based on price.

And thats just the main ones. Like I was saying, you have to choose the tablet that matches your needs, wants and price range. In my case, the Tablet S has been possibly the best technology buy I've made and I don't regret it a bit, but thats because it matches what I need it to do.
[Sony Tablet S] JMS74:
Exactly, this devices are made to be used and not for liking all of their features
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
I've got the Sony S, I Pad 2 and Galaxy Tab and still think the Sony is the best of the lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] IEatKittys!:
Has anyone got Google Wallet actually working on their skyrocket? I'm dying to go to Mc.Donald's and swipe my phone! the look on the peoples faces would be so funny. but anyways. Is anyone actually working on it to bring it our phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] trell959:
Well one: you need to be on android 2.3.7 or above and two: I believe the skyrocket is lacking major NFC capabilities (much like the i-777) not 100% on the NFC part though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
This has been answered in the forum many many times. The SkyRocket does not have the "secure eliment" required to run Google Wallet. It might be possible (in the future) to use a "sim card" as a secure eliment if the sim card and the google wallet app allows it. However, this is doubtful because of AT&T's alliance with "ISIS". NFC runs just fine on the skyrocket if you are using a ROM that enables it. Other financial technologies are on the horizon that might actually trump ISIS and Google Wallet but more than likely will also require some sort of SIM security unless they use NFC in conjunction with dialing verification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Ur both partially right, the phone does require both gingerbread 2.3.7 and "secure element" is actually some hardware that our phones r physically missing, there is however talk of a similar card application. As for NFC, our phones do possess this, as long as ur using the stock battery, the nfc antenna is integrated into it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I tried the beta but man I can't bring myself to pay $17 for it though. It runs buttery smooth on the Galaxy Nexus (which is rare, lol) and has a lot of potential.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PulldOvr:
what beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffrey000:
I know what NFC is, as in I know they are some kind of tag, I assume sticker like, and the phone can grab information from it.

But what is the uses? I have read in passing about how some people have them all over, and use them all the time.

I am curious as to how I can use them as an advantage, and what kind of things they can do.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crachel:
You could buy a generic $10 car dock and stick a NFC tag on it that will launch "Car Home" (or maybe "Navigation" on the maguro) once the phone is docked. obviously you would have to dock and wake the phone for the tag to be read, but I actually think that is ideal

You can have a tag that launches a Tasker task that turns your phone's screen off. So, if you have a spot on your desk where you commonly set your phone, you could place the tag there and it will turn your screen off when you lay your phone down (and save your power button)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Limited only by your imagination, really.

You can buy tags, stick them anywhere, and program them to do anything you want when you touch the phone to the tag lol.

Turn on/off WiFi when you leave the house, turn off your ringer at your desk, enable BT and car mode in a car dock, etc. etc. etc....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Look at this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqD_olNY8Js

its a Blackberry.. but it works the same way as with Android.. just different app.. same sticker

I find it to be useless tho in a way.. i can't wait to use NFC to unlock doors and replace ID n security check points.. Google wallet is the way of the future without these stupid bugs and hacks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nebrando:
OP, for future reference... use the search feature before posting something like this.

I will not do this, but you will get flamed for posting a question that already has a thread.

Anyways, just check out this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359057

Personally, I have tags set up at my bedside table, door at home, in my car and at work to launch different "profiles" depending on my current location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Try the app NFC ReTag https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

It doesnt change anything on the tag. It recognizes a unique tag and execute actions you set on your device. That way, you can reuse old hotel keycards or even antitheft stickers on clothes you bought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !!11oneone:
I get that you can programme actions. But for location profiles aren't you restricted by having to remember to tap the tag?

I use Setting Profiles and rely on it all happening automatically based on time and place from cell towers and wifi. What's the advantage of nfc?

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Also, is it possible for my phone to replace tags like door fobs etc or is it just a reader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Yep, I wished there was more to it, but that's the extent of it. The target needs to be able to process and have battery power to open up real options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
NFC doesn't require me to leave GPS on. Nor does it require me to change something if I don't want to. If I don't want to use that profile, I merely do not touch the tag. No need to turn off programs or anything else.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. NFC isn't revolutionary, it is just different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffrey000:
Where can I get NFC tags? and do I need an app to make them do what I want?

What kind of range do they have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Just search Google

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=NFC+tags+

Yes you need a app to use it with

And NFC is short range
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffrey000:
How short range is short range though?

Could I put one on the under side of my counter top? Would it work at all or would it give me a 6" radius? ?

For the tag to work do I need an app open? or just have the phone not sleeping? like just have the lock screen up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
short range in this case is an inch or less.

NFC only works when phone is awake with screen on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
hey everyone i was trying to install tweak stock and did the install with the 1/30 pbj kernel. i also fixed permissions with recovery. it would stay on the boot animation and now idid a battery pull and it wont turn on and when i tried to odin recovery it said failed. any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
You can still get into Download mode, right?
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
yes i can, i just have to plug it into my computer or outlet and it goes out if i unplug it. im downloading the stock rooted odin to try to odin it
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Try flashing with the battery in. Recently that is the only way I have gotten it to do anything on ODIN...
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
yeah. im downloading the odin package and am gonna reinstall the drivers to be sure
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
Cool, you should be good then and you're only soft bricked. Once you finish downloading the stock ROM go into Odin and put the phone into download mode. Put your battery back in like JihadSquad suggested, as he is correct, and remove your sd card. Also, download the charge .pit file. Put the stock ROM file in PDA and the charge.pit in pit. Check Re-Partition and uncheck F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot and you're ready to flash. You should be good to go from there. If you have any more questions go to the Imnuts thread in Development How to Fix your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
could you provide a link to the pit file please? im not sure where it is

nevermind i got it. thanks for the info
[Verizon Droid Charge] ewh1292:
Sure, no problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
im following his instructions...fingers crossed

wooot.....it worked guys.

WP 1​

In approximately twelve hours, I will be uploading a new pack1 I have been hunting good walls down like crazy that past few days. 10000 wallpapers!

I'm seriously thinking of making an app...

Here is a pack of my wallpapers I've been hunting down for months. I will post another xxxxx every 100 thanks I get for a bonus. I take 1% credit for these as a few of them are mine. 99% of them I found on other forums, other websites, or were posted in my other thread relevant to this. I appreciate those of you who posted your wallpapers, I saved them and put them into this pack. Link for that thread is farther down so you can see who posted them if you really want to.

If you want larger packs, like 1000 or 2000 or whatever number; then I need to see more requests. It takes me a lot of time and barely any effort to do this. If you don't appreciate it then do NOT post. If you don't care then DON'T post. Nobody cares what negative thoughts you have about my work. I do this so we can all have amazing wallpapers for our epic Epics.

I am well aware that the wallpapers are not all the same size nor are they designed for just this phone. Most of them were for a computer with a large resolution.

I will update this WHENEVER I CAN. If I get at least 1 thank I will release an extra or a "bonus" pack with xxxxx wallpapers in it due to the idea of me being appreciated and my work is useful. I guess I was being a thanks whore, but I will try to keep up with this. Next week or earlier I'll have another batch comin up!

Keep your eyes out for an app in the making! I'm not posting it on the market (not paying the fee). It random crashes so if I can't get it to work I'm just going to use a "free app maker" to do it if I can't fix it, sorry.

Here are the links:

DOES NOT WORK, DO NOT CLICK ME!!!/B]

BE SURE TO THANK ME!

If the link is broken please let me know, and I will fix it!

Oh, and since I am very talented in Photoshop, post some requests and I'll try my best to satisfy your needs!

Alright, you've touched my sweet side =). You do seem genuine, which is a wonderful quality on these forums. Your initial wallpaper pack is great, and I can wait to see more. You compile some good stuff for our amoled screen =D.
[Epic 4G General] prochargedls2:
Hahaha lol thanks. Well my next pack is about 10000+ wallpapers, and I don't know where to upload it. And I'm not parting it out 512mb a piece to dev host... I can but I know not everybody wants to download 20+ packs lol.

You have no idea how long I sat in the same position staring at my monitor saying yes, no, yes, no inside my head. Its worth it though! For myself and for those who just want their phones to look sweet!

I'd really appreciate it if you knew a good place to upload about 8gb to

What apps are you trying to mod?

What OS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] voredroid:
I got it figured out, was trying to mod Blend ICS apps.. need de-odexed ones..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] voredroid:
Ok new question.. This is obviously my first time figuring out how to put these back together... heres my issue: Im using the multi-tool the app im adjusting is mms.apk.. after I extract and edit the images in the res folder I choose option 3 to zip it up and then 5 to zip align and then it creates the new unsigned apk, which I then rename to Mms.apk ... when I dump it onto my phone it doesnt have the icon in astro, it looks like the white icon with the gear on it.. when i try to install it gives a parsing error... I assume its because its a system file and I need to adb it onto the phone.. but why isnt it showing up with the original mms icon? and then secondly.. I cant get multitool to adb push to my galaxy s2 it just says waiting on device.. is there something I need to do besides usb debugging and connect it to the computer? sorry for all the noobness.. gotta start somewhere right?

Oh also Im using fireworks to edit the png's and exporting them back and i noticed when i sent it back out it was like 29kb so I image export and optimized down to 2kb does that even matter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can't dump unsigned app into your phone.

I never workred with tool you mentioned but I think you should have sign option there.

Or you just drug modified images and xml files from that unsigned app into your original one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] voredroid:
It has the option to have signed or unsigned ... both ways result in the same issue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
As I said try to drag modded files and png's into original app and try to flash that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] voredroid:
Ok trying..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] voredroid:
Worked like a charm.. Makes me wonder what the point of apk manager is at all? Just 7zip unzip.. Edit and rezip...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can't edit xml files if you just unzip them. You have to decompile them in order to be able to edit them.
