[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfvtn:
I recently factory restored my S2, I ran into the password screen as well. After looking around for a bit, the conclusion I came to was to try random passwords a few times (4-6 times) until it says it doesn't recognize it and it'll erase everything.

Don't know if you're alright with erasing everything.. but it's a much better choice than having a paperweight.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungureanub:
Hi,

I'm having an original ROM where using the default clock app and I'm setting a countdown timer.

When the timer expires, I've got a screen that the time is over, but no sound. According to the settings, it should be the one configured by me.

Any ideas?

Please don't tell me to use another app, I want to use the standard clock.

Thanks.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungureanub:
I've installed the app "Volume Ace Free" and noticed that the Alarm volume was set to 0. After I changed there, the timer sound started to work. Crazy!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charsta:
I had the same problem! I installed the app you said and now everything is fine!

After the configuration I uninstalled the app!

Thank you

Great solution!!!

My timer alarm is working now

Thanks Pals.

I've been trying to figure out how many apps there are for Android tablets and it has been really hard to find out, which in itself hints that it ain't good. But the best estimates I could find online pin it at around 1000-2000 apps. :eek: Didn't iPad 1 release with more than that? What is wrong with Android? I sincerely believe that this OS is better with its Widgets and customizations and all. But does it not bother you that after a whole year we have so few apps? I may as well go for an iPad at this rate. I mean i have all the apps i need now, but still some apps are meant for the phone, like Facebook.... still I feel it is worth investing in a device that actually has proper support... you are paying $500, shouldn't you expect more then just thousands of apps? And don't argue that the new iPad with its hi res display will have few apps. That is only temporary... it too will soon surpass the android tablet app tally... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sethoxlx:
Took me 5 seconds to google that-

http://phandroid.com/2011/03/14/android-app-count-rapidly-gaining-on-ios-chart/

and its year old, so the number is bigger by now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Android still has plenty of great apps. ICS is the merging of phone and tablet apps. So there won't be a need for either. Instead it'll be a universal app that would work on wither and if its tablet, then it'll take advantage of it.

I have over 200 apps on my Ipad. I have just as many on my prime and have found majority of my Ipad apps n AAndroid and have them on my prime now. So there's still slot of apps out there. Tablet only apps, yes Android has less but its steadily growing. Phone apps already caught up to apples.

Plus you won't catch many here wanting to switch to IOS over apps. Especially not me. I've already did the Ipad experience for 2 years n glad I came to android. I'm satisfied with what's available. It isn't like you can install all of them at once. Android has great apps n always could use more. But Android users generally know the deal when it comes to the apps. Apple needs apps to do things android does out the box by itself. My Ipad has alot of really good apps on it but I have them all ln my prime also. Majority being better on Android. So expect your poll to show love for Android and its ecosystem. Most try to stay away from limited features n capabilities of Ipad. Depends on what floats your boat the best.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
That is Android Market on the whole. I've been talking about tablet optimized apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
All in all, it would be comforting to see a good recent estimate regarding android "tablet" Apps. As of now, I have apps to watch movies, socialize, a great browser, to read PDFs and eBooks and to take notes. I still feel that quality is lacking and I hope what you said about ICS unifying things will help devs dev more. But it bugs me that say Facebook has no tablet app, etc. Thankfully I don't game a lot though! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
READ up on Ice Cream Sandwich Android version and see what its supposed to mean. Soon there will be no more need for tablet optimized apps as all will be optimized for whatever device its being used on.

If you want to get an Ipad that's cool, but I hope you didn't think most here would vote in favor of getting one. You will see soon most are happy with Android. Yes it could always get better but still love it regardless. I'd never switch back to Ipad. Seen so much more with Android now. Going back to IOS would be moving backwards in features and capabilities of a tablet.

I always see people complain about Facebook on android. Why? I have it and works great for me. I have like 3-4 different Facebook apps on my Ipad. Plus here is a reality check. The official Facebook app on Ipad isn't even the best one. It took them so long to bring it out that the 3rd party ones are the best now. The official app sux on Ipad and is buggy still. I have it and other ones on Ipad. You just have to search more. I have tons of great tablet apps on prime.

Here's a tip. If you want to look for android tablet app only marketplace, look for an app called Tablified. Its an marketplace that showcases all tablet only or optimized apps for Android. Its really good and apps must pass strict guidelines to be considered to be viewed in that app. Its a free app. A MEMBER here actually created it. It has a great look to it also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Unfortunately, until we see many more ICS devices, developers won't focus on it and thus we'll not see apps that make good use of tablets because of it. It's true that right now the number of really good tablet apps is low, and it's frustrating. I'd think that 5-10 million Honeycomb or ICS tablets in the wild would be enough to generate more developer interest.

I honestly think developers are gun shy about spending the time on tablet apps because the press on the Android tablet market has been so universally horrible (and the hype on the iPad so universally and nauseatingly high). Those developers who've made tablet-optimized apps have done a great job with it, but really the iPad has a HUGE, HUGE advantage here. Even I find myself sometimes wanting to switch because of all the excellent iPad apps, and I can't stand Apple.

You can find a good tablet app for a most typical uses, and in many cases the phone apps work fine (because they scale better in many cases than iPhone apps scale to the iPad), but it remains a limitation. It's also another area where Google has done a bad job, either of making it easy to make tablet-optimized apps (I don't know either way) or of providing incentives for developers to make them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
I really don't get the fascination and need for all these "apps". I hate that word too, sounds so gay.

Give me a good browser, some good media players and you're pretty much good to go.

There is no need for a Facebook program at all. No need for XDA program, a Twitter program. You don't use them on your Windows desktop do you? The browser is all you need for all that.

I just don't get it. I don't even have one homescreen filled on my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MysteriousDiary:
Android doesn't longer have seperate Apps. Since ICS and fragments well written Apps will deliver an optimized layout for phones, tablets as well as Google TV. One App for all, that was the approach of Android and that's why the Google Play / Market doesn't have an extra Tablet section (beside the editors choice for tablets).

In the last years there was really a lack of good apps for tablets, but most of the new Apps make use of this new fragments and offer a great tablet ui.

New 8track app, tweetcaster, new official TED app, Astrid since their last update - just to mention a few.

In my opinion this will be the first serious year for Android Tablets and Apps which was also the reason for me to finally buy the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
One think I've always wondered is: do fragments work on Android versions previous to ICS? Because if they do, then I wonder why more developers aren't using them. If they only work with ICS, then it makes sense--ICS is still only about 1% of the total Android population, and only on the Prime and Xoom in tablets.

And seriously, it should be MUCH easier to find tablet-optimized apps. While there are a handful of decent tablet-optimized apps, they're relatively hard to find and that fact alone contributes to the perception (real or imagined) that this is a real weakness of Android tablets.

And yes, many popular apps do suck on a tablet and will continue to until ICS reaches critical mass.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_Stranger:
What's the problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CrunchyDoodle:
I guess the question is what do you want to do with your Prime that would be fulfilled by an app? Or somewhat sarcastically; what could you do app-wise with an iPad that you want to do with your Prime? I suggest asking if your searching has yielded nothing suitable.

While it's fun to have lots of apps available, what if they are all crap?

Bye. :cool:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HoochieCoo:
Developer here...

Even with older OS versions the only difference between a phone and tablet app is the layout. Android already has some pretty killer tools for handling that. ICS makes it easier with some new tools (fragments), but by no means is it necessary. Few devs will target ICS for awhile. There are just too many older devices.

So... the biggest inhibitor is time. It takes a great deal of work to develop an app that makes both screen sizes happy. It also takes some practice. Since Android is behind compared to iOS, and the Android tablet market is smaller, we just have to wait. People have to learn how to take advantage of all this extra space.

By the way, its not really any easier to develop an iOS tablet app. In fact, even using the older versions of Android, its easier to deal with different layouts than on iOS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I think as long as theres fragmentation most app devs are not gonna put as much effort with android. Why when there are so many ipad users and they only have to develop for 1 single platform and can concentrate on making it better rather than concentrating on making it more compatible across every different android devices. ICS was supposed to be the answer but not all ICS compatible app will work on all ICS devices. Then google is supposedly now gonna come out with jelly bean? Whats gonna happen then? So if i was a dev right now I wouldnt want to develop even for ICS not knowing what road block jelly bean will bring when apple is more guaranteed. The return profit is just not as good on android tablets right now. Until we match apples ecosystem I dont think we will ever have the benifits that ipad users have.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Yes, why?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
facepalm...

Do you remember when blueray players first came out, you could only get a handfull of movies for it? and now you can get damn near everything in blueray.

Remember a year or so ago when there was like, maybe 5 tablets total on the market? and now you cant turn the corner without finding yet another manufacturer of them?

Tablets are the fastest growing consumer trend in north america giving Apple a good run for their money. Considering this boom in the last year or so, developers are scrambling to try to support everything and find standards for how graphics will be displayed, etc. (which is why theres so many different versions of the same gameloft games)

Give it a few more months if you cant find what your looking for, it will be here then.

Also considering that ICS is still relatively new and developers need to make sure their apps work well on it before they release it, test, etc. its not surprising that there is limited support for ICS. If you want something thats tried, tested, and true then get the TF101. If you want to live on the edge like with the 201 then you have to expect some bugs along the way.

Give it time, it will come. Guaranteed.

Hi guys,

I can't root my friend's Desire Z. I tried with VISIONary, but it crash every time(it takes more then 30 min and nothing appen). Next I tried HTC DEV procedure, but when i type fastboot oem get identifier token, the Shell says waiting for device.

USB debug active;

Fastboot active;

Only HTC Sync uninstalled;

Adb devices shows properly the telephone;

Tried in 3 PCs;

Pc and telephone restarted many times;

How can I unroot this Desire Z? :(

Have you tried this procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#How_To_Get_R.2FW_Access_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29_using_gfree_v0.7

I would not recommend the visionary method as it has a high brick rate. The method listed above is the tried and true method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
Why in the world you'd use VISIONary to root it!??!? It has a high brick rate! You should of done more research before even considering rooting the phone!

The HTCDEV method isn't a real unlock, ie you don't get S-OFF, SuperCID or any of that. Please do NOT use it. It's like sending an e-mail to HTC telling them you are voiding your friend's phone warranty.

What you should instead do, is research more before even considering to unlock the phone. It is a very dangerous process which should in no way be taken lightly.

Now if you want to unlock the phone, namely getting S-OFF (Security-OFF), Super CID, and turn off the Sim Lock you first have to Downgrade the phone to exploitable firmware, as explained here by Setherio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

Afterwards you want to use the wiki method of rooting the phone, which is found here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

If you carefully follow the steps you won't have an issue, but if you come across something and are in need of help, you should join #g2root at the Freenode IRC. People there will help you through the process of rooting and any issues you may happen to encounter.

Edit: I realize I am borderline rude, but this has to be stressed! Both of the methods you tried are sub optimal, since HTCDEV voids your warranty, and VISIONary can brick your phone!

hello all im having a problem and wish to get some input on what the problem may be

my hd2 has been ****in up to say the least i installed a new miui rom on it after having touchscreen problems and the weird thing is i can get the touch screen to respond after holding the the green call button and the home button for one second making the flashlight turn on then holding the back and end buttons for one second waiting for the screen to turn off then turn back on

my question is does this have something to do with the kernel or power consumption it seems it might be the case but im no expert

what do you think?

Try to press once or twice the endcall (red) button. There is a common problem with the Leo's digitizer and it is located under the endcall button. So press it hard. It used to help me.
