[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
The problem with windows 8 is that a windows tablet will always cost 100 dollars more than the same android tablet. Add to that the fact that you'll have to re-buy all your apps for ARM or Metro and they have a tough battle ahead in the consumer market.

Personally I Find Metro totally annoying on my 17" laptop, I think Microsoft is having an identity crisis with windows 8. The last thing I want on my laptop is forced full screen apps. Honestly Metro is a little to Android(ish) for what I would want on a tablet once they get a little more powerful and have better rez.

EDIT: I should qualify this with the fact that I am a die hard windows fan, I LOVE windows 7, prefer coding for windows over any other OS EVER, and absolutely hate MAC OS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I don't care. All that matters is that Windows 8 will motivate Google to add some real multitasking capability to its Android OS. We all know how competitive Google is. They will do it, and it won't be Cornerstone. It will be something better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Kinda, my point. have you used Windows 8 Multitasking? it looks too much like Honeycomb except they keep apps actually running. This is of course Metro, native apps are still good old windows. This isn't Microsoft putting out something for google to steal or envy, it's Microsoft going "OHHH everybody love android and IOS, they must all want "one app at a time" style OS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] gtda:
On my galaxy s2 i use several transparent widgets, including program monitor, was wondering if some one has thought about making some for the tab 7.7. Or is it possible to port the one from the gs2. Mainly program monitor and the stock digital clock. Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] teiglin:
Try grabbing the .apk files out of /system/app and copying them to your tab's /system/app. There's a pretty good chance that will just work (though you might need to reboot after pushing them to the tab). The stock digital clock should be DigitalClock.apk, not sure about the program monitor.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] gtda:
Tried but no success yet. file names are different. not sure if I can even get the old one working again. I'm using super manager, sometimes it asks if I want to use r/w, other times it doesn't ask at all. Think I need a better file manager with root
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] stefan.pilsu:
Transparents 7.7

1. You need root.

2. Copy in /system/app
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] gtda:
I've got root, I've been copying to system/app

I got the original working again, the one from my galaxy s2 just won't work.

Are these files the stock ones, or transparent

Cheers

Just installed program monitor, its transparent

Thanks so much, looks much better

Digital clock has a weird write shadow, is that normal?

It is not normal but is maximum that I can do...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] BRANDENDEUCE:
Just wondering if anyone has any information on this..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aaronuser:
Im in the same boat as you. Looking here multiple times a day for something T869 related.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Ever since I got this phone a month after it was release I've had odd problems with WIFI at home.

I have a Linksys WRT350N running DD-WRT.

As soon as got the phone the WIFI/Router would get sluggish and hang.

Sometimes I'd see the phone looping. Connecting and losing connection.

Reboot the router and all was fine for a few days.

Finally I spent some time sorting it out.

I had it on Channel 6 (default) but I had TurboBoost (not sure why) on and I had 40Mhz bandwidth which can speed things up but can be more prone to interference.

Finally I gave up on the speed and turned off turboboost, put it on the normal 20Mhz and found the cleanest channel (channel 1).

Everything ran perfect now. Except the phone. It was sucking battery like crazy. Normally I'd have half the battery left by bed time. I could go 2 days in a pinch.

Now by 8PM it was beeping because battery was critically low.

So I tried Channel 11.

Now the phone is fine. It's 8PM and I still have 92% (it was a light day) but before it didn't matter how much I used it.

In summary:

Router is pretty much default and on channel 11, Good battery and stable.

Router is pretty much default and on Channel 1 it suck battery and stable.

Router tweaked for bandwidth on wireless N on Channel 6. Good Battery (sometimes, very unstable)

I'm not saying some this isn't the routers fault, but the only change I last made on the router was from channel 1 to 11. And that made a night and day difference in battery.

Perhaps there was interference in channel 1 that made the phone work harder.

Channel 6 might be fine too, I did not try it again with Turbo-Off and 20Mhz bandwidth since it's all working I'll leave well enough alone.

I'm running cleanrom 2.9.5 (I've run various versions of clean rom most of the time I've had it).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brazen9000:
I'm new to Motorola. With the Galaxy series I'd root and download an app that Sim unlocked the phone. Is there anything similar for my Droid RAZR? Or is it unlocked now that it's rooted and running a Rom?

Thanks for any help!

:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brazen9000:
I've flashed a Brazilian firmware on it and it works fine with Rogers so it must be sim unlocked? Isn't it?

Any help? Does rooting and flashing Roms and flashing a different firmware from a different company/country mean it's unlocked to do I need to pay $ to an online company for an unlock code?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brazen9000:
Crickets..... :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
On Razr rooting will only gives you super user access to system files, will not unlock it to use sim cards from another carriers. You'll need a sim code to unlock it. Ask your carrier for it. Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdbailes:
i was trying cm9 some time ago, i was having deepsleep issues on that time, so i went back to gb (i thought it was rom problem), now i flashed lastest build 4/3/2012 and deepsleep issues still continues.(clean install, no app restore, full wipe)

here there are some screenshot of battery stats and cpu spy, maybe someone can point where is my problem

some info

XXLPH Modem

Lastest CM9 build 04/03/2012

Already clean cache and dalvik some times, also rebooted and the problem is still there

cpu spy stats reset after unplug phone from wall charger
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethrocks:
With cm9 you need to go into settings>applications>running services and stop the media scanner process from running. Each time you reboot the media scanner process goes wild and will keep the phone from entering deep sleep. Also when you reboot, put the phone in airplane mode beforehand and turn it off once the phone boots up, this will keep the rilj wakelock from going crazy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdbailes:
already done media scanner stop service thing, read on ics discussion thread, now going to make airplane mode thing and see if that stops rilj wakelock, thx

EDIT:

Still no deep sleep :(

is there anything else i could try?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethrocks:
Do you have better battery stats imstalled? That help you figure out what is inhibiting deep sleep. Its probably the fuel alerted wakelock, a known issue with cm9, if so turn off the phone, pull the battery, wait 60 secs, and boot it up. Dont forget to put in airplane mode before turning it off
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethrocks:
Judging from the screenshots it looks like its a reporting error with cpu spy. In the battery usage it shows your phone sleeping like a baby.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdbailes:
i was thinking that but battery goes away quickly, going to try battery off for some minutes and report back.

edit: battery off for some minutes and problem solved getting deep sleep thx :), i really wanted cm9 haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carricklongley:
I just wanted to report that I was able to successfully get my AT&T Galaxy Note carrier unlocked using the service from Cell Unlocker. It costs $24.99, but for those of you who travel outside of the US and don't want to be forced into using your Note on WiFi only or paying AT&T's outrageous fees, this is certainly a route you may interested in. Additionally, the resale of your device is typically higher if it is unlocked!

I am not sure about the rules for linking to their site, and I am not affiliated in any way, just thought I would share this tip. If you want to find their site, just google "Cell Unlocker" and the first hit should be the one!

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carricklongley:
I forgot to add that it did take almost 5 hours to get my unlock code back, but it worked just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Why didn't you just root it yourself and use whatever modem/ROM combination you want... for free?

I'm confused...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
Gotta be unlocked it run it on another Carrier with there sim card.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carricklongley:
This is a carrier unlock, not unlocking the boot loader.

Root - root access to your device

Boot loader unlock - ability to flash custom kernels/ROMS

Carrier unlock - ability to use any SIM on your device - by default, you can only use AT&T SIM cards since the device has been 'locked' to their carrier

I just got sucked into that same statement. I requested a refund of my 5 euros- or $6.61

Not such a great deal if they will keep it and not deliver. I recommend to Stay away from this till things are cleared up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toyfreak:
Yep, I got ripped off too... www.Cellunlocker.net worked fine on my Skyrocket. I guess you get what you pay for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carricklongley:
Yep. Its cheaper for a reason!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
I guess so lol. If uvpayed with PayPal just open a claim and it will refund you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Did you guys try just calling AT&T to ask for the unlock code? They might be hesitant because the Note's so new, but they'll usually just give it to you if you insist you're traveling overseas a lot in the coming months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
Called and get " You need to own the device at least 6 months. That's the policy." No help at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] smikesmith3:
Called, they said "the device is exclusive to ATT so we can't give it to you" plus the 6 month thing would deter from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Nolenm04:
How long did you wait till you asked for a refund?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheon849:
ATT will also unlock your note on aug 11th they will have the codes i called them to have mine unlocked and they told me Samsung will give them my code on aug 11th so u can do it for free ill Post back at that time to see if i am able to unlock my note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:

How to unlock Samsung Galaxy Note

Can you please provide me instructions to unlock for free? I am not too savvy with phone rooting.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thegurupaul:
I put H2O SIM into my Galaxy Note I-717 that is running ICS, rooted, but locked.

It works for phone calls; but the data doesn't work.

Does this mean I need to unlock it for the data to work?

What's the point of a carrier unlock? Why is it useful?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheon849:
they told me its when samsung gives the code which will be sometime this month i forgot the date

I bought my note full price so they have to unlock it for me but if u are on contract they might not unlock it tell ur contract is up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheWalkingDead:
But why would anyone want to unlock it anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstong:
To use the phone on another network without paying att out the ass. For example while traveling abroad, just pick up a local sim card, and not have to worry about exorbitant international planes.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

How do you know it'll be in 12 days?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheWalkingDead:
Ok that makes sense now. When I called at&t they told me that the unlock code has not been released yet, this was last month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chils41:
20th This month is the date ATT will start taking requests to unlock GNotes.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Every carrier (att/tmo)has policy not to give unlock codes of the phone untill its 6 months from the date of launch.

And they give out only one code per line every 90 days of service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Anybody tried to call AT&T about the free unlock code? I really hope it is true they would give it :D 4 days to go

Also, quick question, when it is unlocked, would it be permanent? Meaning, if I switched ROMS, etc .. will the unlock persist?

Thanks!

Got Unlock Code from AT&T Today

I called at&t tech support/customer service today and informed them that I would like my sim unlock code for my galaxy note, as I will be traveling to China in October. The representative said that he would have to put in a request for the code, and then he came back and said that he had the code available to give me -- he then furnished me with an eight digit numerical code.

He also informed me that to unlock the phone (simcard) I would have to power down the phone, insert a non-at&t simcard, power up the phone, enter the unlock code and then select OK.

Since I haven't yet purchased a non-at&t simcard, I haven't yet attempted to unlock the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chils41:
Free from ATT or $7.99 from cellunlocker.net

I recently bought another Note from Local CL guy, and he refused to call ATT and get the unlock code.

So I checked back with cellunlocker.net and surprisingly the Cost to Unlock ATT Note is now only $7.99.

Which was $24.99 previously.

Not just that I got Unlock code within 30 seconds, along with confirmation email from Paypal.

So my guess is Once Carrier start Unlocking the Phones, cellunlocker.net reduces the prices,

check out the screen shot of proof.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

EDIT :

I try to see if cost the same for my previously Unlocked Note for $24.99, it came out to be $19.99.:(

So I dont know whats up with that,:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheWalkingDead:
At&t will give anyone the unlock code for FREE regarless if you are the original purchaser of the phone or not. You don't even have to have an account with them. So if you buy a phone on craigslist and want the unlock code just call at&t and they'll give it to you. This applies only to phones that are not reported stolen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
How long do you have to be in the contract before they give it to you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chils41:

For cell unlocked, there are two option for carrier. ATT and ATT/Cingular. Which one do I pick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
AT&T.

Cingular I think for the older cingular phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Buffon00:
I also ordered from the polish site and they did not have my unlock code but refunded my money. I ended up getting it from cellunlock. the key here is to get it from "Unlock Any Samsung USA phone Remotely by Code" and not the cheaper "at&t Cingular unlock" cause it won't work. The price was almost 40 BUCKS but looked around for a coupon and found one at 50% off (just put the word "android50" in the discount or coupon box before paying. Basically paid $19.99 and is the cheapest price around without posting a video on Youtube:D.

I live in Spain and could have gotten an International GN but I go back stateside soon and the LTE speeds really got me on this decision. However, my attGN works perfectly on Vodafone Spain 3g Network Hspa+ by just inserting the chip. I get 9900 kbps dowload and 4100 upload. Not baddd!!!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spec2323:
i have never unlocked my phone at the carrier level. Previous i just used the iphones unlock software to do so.

Are there any risks or a downside to unlocking at the carrier level? Will my experience with my current carrier change at all? Also - Does it permanently unlock it (can it be reversed)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
It does not affect anything. The only thing it affects is being able to pop a sim card from another carrier in it. It would be permanently unlocked for good no going back.

Also If your not going to be using it on another carrier there wouldnt be any point in really unlocking.

I use mine on AT&T but I unlocked mine So I can use my UK number when needed with my UK sim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
The other benefit is the resale value of a phone that is carry unlocked is higher as it can be sold to overseas. I sold my Atrix which was carrier unlocked for more than it would have sold locked to AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpitch2415:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] The Saint Hyoga:
Agree.....but

But for the AT&T need to be the ones that are "American unlockers", not all that are on the the web can unlock them. There are a lot more cheaper, that supposed to unlock for 6-8 dlls, but they can't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pete720:
Hello folks. Silly question, I have a new Note I snagged off eBay arriving Monday and I want to unlock it. I have never unlocked a phone before so my question is what U.S. carriers can I use the on the Note (preferably prepay) once the device is unlocked? For example I do not need the phone feature of the device really but if I unlock it can I use T-Mobile no-contract $30 monthly unlimited data plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
Hi pete! You can use your note on ATT and straight talk locked. I think red pocket is another mvno from att that this will run on. Not sure if unlock is needed here for that. But data is all reliable. Unlocked you can use tmobile if you want to do some extra mods, and it is not totally reliable yet, but does work great for some, not so great for others.

If you want to run the phone on tmobile's edge network, just unlock and put your sim in. Totally reliable. You will get phone service and 2g edge data, which I tried a couple nites ago and it was not as slow as I have been led to believe. I could use it if I was stuck on tmobile for a while without too much frustration, but certain functions will not work on edge. Streaming netflix or hbo go will not work- you would need the wifi for it here.

Good luck!:)
