[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
I think the problem is excess stock due to returns and cancels from poor software and hardware performance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
well ****

my 64GB model cost me alot more...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Ditto, and doesn't even work right. Lesson learned. No more Lenovo tablets for me unless they give them away.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] liranc:
Which android tablet would you say "works right" in comparison to the Lenovo TPT? I just ordered mine and it should be arriving next week complete with Folio Keyboard, Dock and Pen.

I chose this one for 3 real reasons, and 1 lame reason :)

Real reasons: 1)I like the option for the digitizer pen 2)It seems like it can take more of a beating than other tablets(i can be a clutz) and 3)I like the keyboard folio option(not for every day use)

Lame reason: 1) it matches all my ThinkPad paraphernalia(Notebook, Mouse, Keyboard, Cases...etc) :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
LOL I like your reasons. I never wanted the folio and still don't. If I had other Lenovo gear that would be a +1 here. I love the stylus but now others are coming so I don't have to put up with poor components and an OS overlay that requires root to function properly. My GPS has never functioned. If it wasn't for rooting and wanting to keep it, I'd send it in for warranty repair. Buttons have failed and micro USBs have too.

Getting a new tab soon. Already have a View and it has zero issue like my TPT. Looking for maybe the Galaxy Note 10.1.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] yahoowizard:
Well, yeah, the pen is a dominating reason. At the same time, we bought it back in September, when this was the only tablet with a pen. There weren't even any that were rumored to come out except the hypothetical Galaxy Note at that point, which I learnt later at that time was only 5 inches. Now there's the Galaxy Note 10.1 that's coming out and a few more, so yeah, I'd look at the others before landing on the TPT. The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet was almost a test, and though they did pretty well, I feel I might just wait a little bit longer.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dsw1ft:
I got my 32gb tablet for $350 for buy.com 8 months ago. I don't see why this price is so great?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
I agree. Not great prices.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
provantage.com

has...

16GB for 318

32GB for 340
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tbaker077:
Is that provantage price with the pen?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
eBay has some solid refurb deals, but it's hard to tell with many of them if the pen is included or not. I just a 16gb refurb for $299 with just the pen and and charger.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
I have season 1 of walking dead literally stored internally on my phone but when watching I can't skip over parts I've already seen. If I stop it halfway to check email or go to bathroom or whatever, when I go back to video player I have to start from beginning. Laim as hell. Ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sbddude:
what video player are you using? I use MX Video player and I am able to do as you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Skipping around in videos can be limited based on the encoding formats used and the codecs/player being used for playback. Find something that works and stick to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryanbmw51:
Using mx as well and it lets me go 10 secs at a time and when I back out and then reopen it asks if I want to resume. Of course I say yes but when it opens its back to the beginning. Weak...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
My logitech Revue does this too. It runs Honeycomb so I had to go through and test formats to see which had good quality to size ration and still gave trouble free playback on all my numerous android devices over the network from my Plex server. I can't remember what format I ended up going with, but can look when I get home if you would like. I formatted everything with Format Factory, but Handbrake seems to be the choice of converting software on XDA, both of which are free.

i rooted my v20n... den i rebooted into recovery nd in advanced options after fixin permissions i clicked on reboot recovery ... since den no words or numbers are shown on my phone... only symbols are coming in app drawer nd everyother thing .... pls help me guys...

i m attaching sum pics
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Didnt you make a nandroid? Like you should before every operation? O.o

Ok, here is what you can try:

Fix Permissions from CWM doesnt work, AFAIK.

But if it messed anything in your case, download ROM Manager and search for fix permission inside the app. Do a fix permission and restart. Fixed? Cool, if not, how about changing the font under settings--> display --> display font? Try droidsan, since it is default I guess, or change to any other, if it is selected already.

Then reboot, see if it works, if it still doesnt work, try another FixPerm and reboot again. Still doesnt work? Then anyone else has to have a solution ;)
[LG Optimus Black] abhi_g1:
changing the font worked...

thanx:)::D:D

Hello everyone, I'm VERY new to coding and developing for Android. I do plan on learning javascript all the way through so I can contribute more to the community.

But for right now I've been making GO Launcher EX themes in a program that compiles the code for you so I've just been adding the images pretty much. But to push market updates you have to add something to the code; what would I need in order to change the code?

Thanks for all your help, and sorry for the n00b question! D:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JOKERx2:
Does anyone know of a Comic app that I can download new comics for a fee or for free? Like an automatic thing. I have a Manga reader which does that for me already on my EVO View. So I figured I look around for a Comic version of that....I've searched high and low for the past couple of days and nothing. I have a Comic Reader (Komik) which is an awesome app, but that's just to read. I want something that has reading and downloads at the same time. So when I turn my tablet on....it's there for my viewing pleasure. Thanks in advanced
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
The Comixology "Comics" app works well, and a decent amount of free content. Appears to be the app that the big US publishers (DC, Marvel) are going to for digital comics. Not sure if it has an automated "subscription" service like you are asking for.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JOKERx2:
Thanks for the information. I've tried this one before but it doesn't have what I'm looking for. IDK if they implemented the feature yet but they were talking about have an automated service...but it was just a reminder type of thing to tell you that there was a new comic. The Manga one that I have has a feature where it downloads it as well as alerts you. It downloads it straight to internal storage or SD. Which allows for offline viewing.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
I have to start off by saying, i am new to alot of this. I have flashed CM9 beta and fb15 and love it. However, I was noticing that many people who flash custom roms, also flash custom kernels. Is there a big advantage to flashing a custom kernel like shadow kernel to cm9? what would i notice as an advantage? is there a disadvantage to it? Thank you
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
There's an advantage in the extra feature that stock kernels do not allow for such as overclocking and undervolting, voodoo color and sound. Depending on what the kernel includes. =] the only disadvantage is the lack of support from stock ROM builders.. meaning any problem you have running an alternative kernel should and shall only be addressed in your kernel's thread.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
well i am running CM9 beta, and have enjoyed it. would it be a benefit to flash for example shadow kernel to it or should i leave well enough alone. just asking your opinion.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Well imo its definetly worth it. Bbelos' kernel is pretty close to stock.. and runs decently smooth. His voodoo color defaults make the screen come alive and takes that greenish tint most our samoleds have away/ adjustable via voodoo sound app. Also undervolting it will improve batt life as well as underclocking when you need it. =] all in all I would flash it.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
this Bbelos' kernel you mention, is that shadow kernel? i did a google search or Bbelos' kernel and keep seeing it come back to shadow kernel. is that the one you are running on your phone with CM9?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
lulz yes :)
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
thanks, i downloaded it and correct me if i am wrong, but i believe all i have to do, is put it on my sdcard and then boot in to cwm and install it from the zip???? do i need to do anything else??? i looked around but could not find if i am supposed to wipe anything.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
That is correct. You don't need to wipe anything. Just boot into cwm and flash the zip :D. Tell me how it is, btw, I'm considering it as well.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
well, i booted in to cwm and loaded the kernel from the zip file. loaded fine, and then told me to wipe the cache and dalvik. i did that. rebooted the phone and all worked well. only bad thing is the screen is much dimmer and darker. i need to find out how to brighten the screen. it is the difference of watching a plasma tv or going to a DLP tv. Have you heard any solutions out there to adjust the screen?????? other than that, i have not noticed any performance difference yet.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
You need to download voodoo sound from the market and spend about half an hour fiddling with the color options.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
ok, voodoo sound. i was looking for something related to color, like voodoo color. i guess that is why i did not find anything,. i will give voodoo sound a shot and see what comes of it. Did you do this and are you happy with the screen colors and resolution? any difference in the performance of your epic with this kernel?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
There isn't a major difference in performance from my experience with overclocking. Spent about an hour fiddling with voodoo color and have it looking amazing. The voodoo sound mods are the main reason I like this kernel. It brings out the true power of the audio processor and its frankly amazing. Audio sounds amazing out of my Denon ahd-2000's.
[Epic 4G General] mookiemoo:
hmm, no kidding. i will have to try the audio out on my denon amp. Out of curiousity, what do you have your voodoo color set too. I would be interested in seeing how it looks on my epic, if you don't mind sharing your settings...
[Epic 4G General] rozar99:
Hope this is the right place to consult.

I am on CM9 Beta3 with FC09. The reason why I flash a kernel is because I have no 3G connection. I tried to update the profile using the temporary FC09 SDcard ROM from the CM9 blog but it fails me. After flashing the ShadowKernel, it does not seem to work too. I am bothered with the green flash during screen locks.

How can I go back to stock CM9 kernel? Flash the Beta3?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Yes just reflash cm9. You can just wipe cache an dalvik and reflash the rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldfire:
Hello,

I have a Samsung galaxy s 2 and i installed cm7.

everything works fine, i am not facing any problem

but there is one thing, my micro sd memory card appears as emmc in my phone and the internal storage appears as sdcard

while i was on the stock rom my microsd appeared as external_sd and my applications that i moved to the sd card were on the external_sd

now with cm7 when i move an application to sd card it is actually moved to sdcard which is the internal storage

how can i be able to move the application to my external memory card (micro sd)??

I heard rumors you could rebuild the radio in the Galaxy note so you could use it on Mobilicity & Wind. Is this true?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharp2G:
do the frequencies match the ones of the galaxy note's?

If you answered yes => then yes it will work

If you answered no => then no, go with fido if you want something cheaper.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
i believe youre talking about the 1700/2100 freq. for now you want the i717 to do that... cannot make the radio do that yet on the 7000... theres a thread to watch in general on the progress...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gn0s1s:
The telus,bell and rogers LTE notes will work on wind and mobilicity, downside is your not on an exynos note. There is a thread here where they are trying to unlock and get the 1700 band working on the n7000 but it is still a work in progress, so the short answer for n7000 is no, long answer maybe
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:
Phone charged up overnight, and after half an hour of listening to music, I noticed the battery had fallen to around 30%. I then rebooted the phone, but it did not boot up. Cannot seem to enter any recovery/download mode.

Rooted running the Omega ROM. Haven't done any modifications to it for a good couple of weeks. Any chance of salvation?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
maybe the battery gone bad? did u try with other battery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
i've heard of that emergency recovery mode, but never actually seen it or know exactly howto trigger it. try vol up+vol down+home+power
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:
Thanks that worked.

Now in 'emergency dload mode (arm9 mode)'

Where do I go from here?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
so hows that recovery looks like? got any menu selection like normal recovery such as wipe data etc? if got, try to wipe data.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:
Nope not like a recovery mode. All it is is the Samsung logo with the 'emergency dload mode' text...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
frankly we all here doesnt know exactly what the purpose of that emergency recovery mode.

try to connect your phone with odin and see its detected. maybe u can flash stock rom from it.

if it doesnt work either, u can try to force the device into normal download mode and flash with odin. first take off the battery, wait for around 5 seconds, hold the three button combination for download mode and while u still hold those three buttons, reinsert the battery. it should go into download mode and u can flash stock rom via odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:
Thanks for help. Will give it a go, and let you know the results....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrKillers66:
If it treat it like a normal download mode, am I right in thinking I just follow the normal procedure for flashing via ODIN?

Ie, follow this tutorial: http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/upgrade-ace-odin/

Managed to get it to the 'downloading' text, where I eventually managed to flash a stock ROM via ODIN, so I'm now unrooted.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrbarker:
Does anyone know how to enable tethering on the Inspire. On the LG Thrill I installed anycut and was able to check a box to enable it. Is there something similar for the Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
please search as this is an ongoing topic and debate within these forums. In short, yes many of the ROMs on here allow for tethering but I will go no further as tethering without the tethering plan is technically against the contract you signed and I will not engage or help further this debate in another thread. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Oathdynasty:
Hey, I have an Inspire that I use as a media phone. I never signed a contract with it, and it doesn't have service. I use it to flash roms and play around with the root stuff, and use it for media. Could you go into more detail for me about tethering? Strictly for education purposes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
You can't use it for tethering if you don't have a data plan. Hopefully you are now a bit more educated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Tethering: To use cell data on a device that is not the phone.

Not anything you'll care about using the phone without a data connection.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Oathdynasty:
I'd still like to check out the app to see how it works. Maybe try and get it to work via WiFi or something.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
google it, because we aren't going to help you here with that. You likely aren't trying to learn how the phone works if you aren't even going to do a simple search for the hundreds of apps on the market that can do this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
If you have wifi access you have no need to tether. If your not going to be truthful about your intentions. no one is going to help you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Do you know what tethering is? You need a data plan on the phone so you can use that data connection either by usb, bluetooth, or hotspot to give an internet connection to another device such as your laptop or ipod. So what are you trying to get to work with wifi then? What app? If you have a custom ROM and IF YOU HAD A DATA PLAN ON THE PHONE, you don't need an app. It is built in most ROMs. You only need an app if you are running a stock ATT ROM.

Hello all

just did the ICS w/root flash upgrade to my xoom cause it was wheezing, on it's last leg. funny thing after using the modded cwm factory reset/ wipe this that everything.

Calm down, why is your question so angry? LOL

You are now rooted - so even a factory data reset from CWM will not erase your internal SDcard Data. It is not a problem, you can manually erase your un needed data from Root Explorer if need be. Is all good, no worries.

tried installing wingray that worked. til i powered the xoom down. on reboot it gets stuck in the pulsating ics screen. only way to get it to boot is too reflash and then it boots

just found the way to flash back to 3.01,

now it boots everytime i turn it back on. geez that ics was a nightmare, wonder why?

first thing it did was start downloading updates

what version is the easiest to root?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarrantyVoided:
holy crap, it's only updated like 6 times now, its now working on ics
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
I really does not matter which version you are on before root, because you are going

to push a dif image on there anyway. Great you are back to stock and have a clean

slate to work with!

1. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.

Download the zip file from here - http://goo.gl/Om9aP

Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.

2. Flashing recovery

1. Download this Recovery image. http://bit.ly/iLRAIV (place this image in you SDK PlatformTools Folder, or which ever folder that contains your adb.exe)

2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot reboot

3. Flash recovery

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img

Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.

Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.

4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.

If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.

In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.

Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select

Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!

So this is just to understand what people actually like about the roms they select in a feature standpoint.

If you like Touchwiz what are the things you love about it and what do you wish it had built in?

AOSP what do you like about it if that's your choice?

I'll start out I'm highly preferential towards aosp mostly because of its clean stock no bloat aspects. I came from the G1 and upgraded to the Nexus1 and really miss the raw android experience. There are some things i do like about Touchwiz like the motion options (turnover, tilt) I also like the swipe left to text and swipe left to call feature.
