I just received a DELL XCD35 from a friend who complains about terrible battery life and lots of lag

Its a gen 2 model and i purchased it from Flipkart

~Non branded

It states that the phone has 256MB ram on the Flipkart page so it doesn't matter

The only question i have is:

Which is the most ideal ROM with good performance for this ROM ? :)

tHANK YOU :)
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Cyanogenmod7 stable will be good with lots of customization/theming options and the best performance. But battery life isnt very good compared to Rom's below.

If he wants excellent battery life,go for GingerStirFry R4 by Wbaw. Stock based,excellent battery life. You can also try elitemovil's Rom or Swedish Snow from Modaco.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

And don't worry. The flipkart page hasn't been updated. Its a European blade sold with 512mb Ram and the stock partition layout will be more than enough for the Rom's above. Just to ensure,download FreeSpace from market/play store.

[Blade General] nfs1mw:
If it is DELL xcd35 and gen1 (sold with android 2.1) the ram will be 256MB but eventhough u can unlock the extra ram.

If it is DELL xcd35 and gen2 (sold with android 2.2) the ram will be 512MB.

Hope it helps.:)

[Blade General] saaransh9:

[Blade General] nfs1mw:
For rom which will be generally around 100MB . I have seen CM7 KANG thread in dev section but its not having mediafire mirror.

I would appreciate if you/someone mirrors it :) (mediafire best with resume support).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linnx88:
My TF101 is no longer seen on any of my win 7 PCs when I use a usb cable.

Here's what I did:

I rooted and downgraded to HC 3.0.2 a while ago. Then wiped and went back to ICS, got the latest ICS updated, wiped recovery, thinking my root was gone and I didn't want to root ICS anyway.

Today I discover that when I plug in my USB cable, my TF101 is not recognized at ALL.

I can't boot into CWM because I wiped it, and I can't fully unroot because my tf101 is not being picked up in windows.

Just did a wipe but Superuser icon is still left in Apps. And I can't install CWM. It seems like it doesn't have full root access.

At wits end. What do I do to get to regular ICS and be able to connect USB?? Please help!

So basically I have no USB access to my transformer, so I can't reroot/unroot it, I can't install any recovery because I get permission denied from Superuser, and my recovery is gone. But I can still use my ICS rom. Is my tablet gone? Is there any way to reroot????

So true I only seen one person and that was in the att store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] etijburg:
I think it is because everyone is scared of its size. I have one and love it. Stopped traveling with my tablet cause I got this. I admit it is big but not so big as to not be able to fit in my pocket. Everyone says "Oh you got that huge Android Phone." and then ask if they can see it. Once it is in their hands they say that it feels good in their hand and then they like it. It seems that the talk on the blogs and reviews about it being too big has keep a lot of people from even looking at it even though my contacts at ATT say it is flying out the stores.

Att and Samsung are advertising pretty hard for it. I think once people realize how portable it really is, they will consider it. I still get a few jeers from my friends, followed by them admitting it is a pretty sweet device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
I wonder what the percentages of the below are, when discussing iPhone users:

1. Aware that AT&T allows them to upgrade at 18 months

2. Aware that having an iPhone no longer makes you "cool"

3. Are of the age where they can buy the phone on their own without parental involvement

4. Are aware of what they are lacking with the iPhone

5. Care that their iOS device is at best outdated

Regarding number 3 - I knew the iPhone lost its caché when I was at the movies and saw an eleven-year-old (!) with one. At that time I'd already jumped to Android but my wife still had her iPhone 3G and wanted an iPhone 4. I gave her a good ribbing about wanting a phone that even kids have nowadays.

I remember her needing a new phone and pay through the nose for the original RAZR., so the idea was not lost on her - I think she'll go android on our next upgrade date - she's already entertaining it.

Her trepidation stems from her unfamiliarity with the Android interface - I assure her that she can make it whatever she wants, and even recently showed her a video of Espier launcher; I think that sealed the deal, so come August she might have a better (but not bigger!) phone than I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] leyvatron:
I think cause its still new and its a bit over priced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Definitely because it's just a new device. The Streak was the first mainstream "phablet", but due to a lack of advertising and outdated software, it never took off for anybody that wasn't familiar with the dev work for it. I think the trend set by this phone combined with good software, great specs, and heavy advertisement by Samsung will make the Note line of phones very popular in the future.

The Note already is selling well, as the ATT store I bought mine from only had one white and no blue ones left when I bought mine...lucky me I wanted white. And I live in Northern Minnesota, which you could say is less tech savvy than a lot of places in the US. Goes to show Samsung has a potential gold mine on their hands if they push this market. Right now, you could say it's a niche device, but I think it's going to turn into a mainstream class of devices.

Everybody who has asked me about my phone is absolutely stunned by it. First, they laugh at its size and ask what the hell it is. Then I tell them it's the Galaxy Note, and explain some things about it, highlighting the 720p screen and SPen. They are impressed by that, but then ask, how the hell do you fit it in your pocket or carry it?! If I know them, I invite them to put it in their pocket and feel the size. They are wowed by how big they screen is, yet how portable and pocketable it really is. By the time I am a done showing them everything, their opinion is completely changed, and they admit it's an awesome device. The only people who say they wouldn't want it themselves are Apple loyalists, who argue that their integration and iCloud make it so they could never use anything but an iPhone. I tell those people that they're being ignorant, because you can do basically ask if that just as well, if not better with Android and Google apps. Even still, they admit if they weren't an iPhone/MacBook user, they would like the Note. I have not seem a single person who dislikes this phone so far.

Just show off your device every chance you get, and eventually people will realize how amazing devices like this really are, and realize their full potential.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
The size of this phone freaks people out at first. I remember after getting this phone and taking it with me to work, every student I had was drawn to it like they didn't know what to think. It was comical to watch them all take turns seeing if it would fit in their pocket.

Despite the initial skepticism that they would like a phone this size, a vast majority of the students after messing with it for a second really liked it.

Same thing happened at the bi-monthly staff meeting. It was even funnier than the students...watching a bunch of adults playing pass the phone down the line game. Several of the teachers have either now went out and got this phone or are going to use it as their next upgrade.

I will say that I kinda enjoy having a phone that's not super common
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I have seen two others both in the airports while traveling. Most people who notice my phone have seen the ads in one form or another. They know you can write on it!

EDIT: I send this original message while at my son's karate practice. I was sitting there and this very attractive Asian lady comes up and asks me if that I the Galaxy Note. I later found out she is Korean and loves Samsung and Android. She has a Vibrant on T mobile and say she heard they just hacked the GNote for T mobile...I was blown away at this girls knowledge of phones etc. Of course I let her play with my phone!

I then told her she should get a pink GNote and she googles it and you would have thought I was her hero...it was pretty wild how excited she got about a pink GNote although I do not believe it is out yet.

Pretty cool story regarding a simple ole phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
I've only seen one other person, I was in line at a hibachi grill and while waiting for food the guy beside me pulled out his note, was using the flip-open battery cover case that AT&T has. We chatted for a minute or so while waiting for food, he came from the Pre and was disappointed how WebOS turned out, and said it took him a few days to get used to the size, he's still learning Android, asked me about a few things like do things "crash" all the time, etc, told him I have yet to see a single crash out of mine.

Cool thing was, when he first pulled it out I didn't say anything because he was getting into his calendar and looking up some events, added an event between them to someone and sent off the invite. He was getting along pretty good, and didn't want to disturb him while he was doing work. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pappyfire:
Besides myself, I know of 3 other guys where I work with one plus I've ran into a couple other people with one at restaurants. The guy at the local AT&T told me they sold out the first day, so there should be several of them around here.

too many sheeple that think that because everyone else has one, they have to have one to "stay cool".

I've always considered myself an INDIVIDUAL. I don't buy things based on what everyone else does. Almost to a fault, I'll go the opposite direction of "trendy" things. Hell, I still (when I can find them) wear the same style Nike White with red "swoosh" leather Cortez shoes (the ones like from back to the future). I've worn them since 1976....why...BECAUSE THEY ARE D*MN COMFORTABLE. Same thing with how I dress, my opinions etc. If you don't like it, tough, it's how I am. I got a Dell streak in Oct 2010 because I thought a 5" screen would be a benefit to me, and I was right, too bad Dell & at&t didn't market it. When I heard Sammy would have one, couldn't wait to get it. And I'm right, it's PERFECT for me. The sheeple can squint at their TINY screens all they want and look cool, at least my eyes don't have to squint.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BLASTphemus:
After debating whether I should stick to a jailbroken/unlocked iphone (upgrading to iphone 4) or joining the Galaxy S2 rooting community. I have decided to upgrade to a Samsung Note. I went to the AT&T store today and I was sold. The size is pretty big but it's so thin that it doesn't feel like you're holding a large tablet. It feels like I'm holding a super sized iphone. lol The screen is amazing and for me who is constantly surfing/browsing on my iphone the size only makes the choice much more easier for me to get.

I'm getting a white one on Wedneday. I'll try to post a report on my first hand experience and thoughts.

BTW, not to hijack the thread but I'm a noob to the android community. Will I be able to root the S Note??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Yes you can root. I would recommend installing the overcolocked kernel and then installing setcpu from the market and set your profiles so it will gradually underclock as your battery goes down. I get 16hrs from mine with 3.5hours on screen time. Email me and I can send you my profiles for setcpu if you want

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
Iphones because every iphone looks the same since they first came out. You have to remember, Apple is very original in their designs. Maybe change the band color or something subtle that will be hidden behind the "mandatory" bumper case.

Our Sammy's on the other hand evolve. They change from delivery to delivery. That's what makes then special and original. No Molds.

I don't think it's the size that puts most people off. There are so many iphones out there because there will ALWAYS be more apps for it. There are some apps people can't live without. I still miss some. Plenty are ported to Android, but for the most part, our store sucks. I haven't seen major growth to our store since I moved to Android a year ago, while Apple has hundreds of pretty cool apps coming out on a regular basis. Game development for Android seems to have stalled and the only apps coming out for us is the same old crap the iphone made popular. I haven't touched my old 3GS in a year and it still has 10 times more apps installed on it than my Android. They may be sheep, but they still got the best ****. If the iphone ever gets separated from the itunes teet or finally gets bigger in size, Androids will be a thing of the past. But we know how Apple works and that will probably never happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Your iPod had more apps on it because you installed more apps. The play store has well over 400k apps, while the App store had just over 500k. You are wrong in thinking that the play store will not pass it. Also, the play store had a much higher percentage of free apps, and yet it still has or will be receiving most of the major games. I have not found a single app for an iPhone that I could not live without or not find in the play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
Where I live im prob the only one in the county here. Closest att. Store is an hour away. And the Walmart here don't carry them. Besides that ppl here never seen anyone with anything more than a galaxy s2. No skyrockets. No notes. 95% of phone users here have dumb phones lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MikeyFTL:
True. It was much easier to install "questionably acquired material" on the iphone via Installous. I hated itunes more than anything and did everything I could to avoid it. Android doesn't have anything like Installous so you're probably right in that respect. I've only installed legally purchased apps on my android. Obviously piracy is much more rampant on the iphone. However, you're way off when you say theres not a single app for an iphone that you could not find in the play store. There's a jillion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 1tontomato:
Apps are a little slow to arrive to Android because apple users are used to spending money for an app more than an Android user. We're frugal shoppers. Android users trend to want more for less and developers know this, and don't bring stuff to Android till it's a hit on iPhone. This marketing design is starting to shift as more smart phone users are starting to be Android users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I have yet to see anyone with a note. Everywhere I go though, people love this phone and want it. Very nice conversation starter.

When I first saw the display at Best Buy, I thought they were just another set of props, but I still decided to touch scroll the screen..

It's a REAL working unit!? :eek: WTF wholly carp! I could'a swore that Orange AT&T screen was a piece of mock up plastic.

It's a toss up for me. I would like the Note, but only if I can trade my T989 + cash for one. Or sell my T989 and I'd buy one, but considering the S3 is around the corner and only 0.6" smaller screen and quad core.. Not to mention the Google Nexus Tablet for 2beans...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
One, I stated in my personal experience, I have found every app I need and use on Android, as well as some that are not on the Apple store. I know there are plenty of apps not available on Android, but I said in my instance, there are none that I use that I have not been able to find.

Two, I said nothing about questionably acquired material, as I pay for paid apps, and don't for free ones. All I said was the play store has a much higher percentage of free, legitimate apps.

Three, the 100k or less gasp between the two stores is most likely due to the enormous account of junk apps that are on both markets, only that the app store had been building them up longer. Most useful apps are on both stores, the only difference is really in gaming, and even most of those eventually reach Android. Seeing as I don't game much on my phone, the difference in the two stores is completely negligible to me, and therefore I will defend the play store when somebody babbles about the app store having more apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
I recommend you do nothing with rooting the Note, until you've used it for a few weeks, months. Android is very robust as is, in the end you'll learn everything you can aquire/add by rooting finally isn't worth much more than just entertaining, knowing you can do it if you wish. Ofc rooting allows you to install some very useful apps, i.e. adfree, root explorer, bloat freeze,titanium backup, to name a few..

IMHO learn your Note as is. YMMV

And by that I don't mean, don't customize it's look, by all means do so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MikeyFTL:
I hate the app store, so I'm not defending it. But they'll always have more. The growing numbers of sheep demand more hay. I'm the one who brought up "questionable" apps to explain why I had so many. Relax. Smoke a bowl or something.
