An interesting post as I think the tablet form factor is not being used to its full potential.

For me surfing and reading the two biggest uses as with everyone else.

Other uses for me:

- Home media player with HDTV connector. MK video player plays more formats than Xbox or PS3 and easier to connect than laptop. I use ES explorer to connect and stream to NAS.

- Microsoft Instant Messenger (try Office talk). Great when not in front of work laptop. Can use any IM really and saves you firing up computer.

- Have tried VNC and Teamviewer. Need to setup static IP but useful if in other room. Contemplating whether to leave work laptop on all day and just vnc.

- Highly recommend installing Overskreen Browser. Useful browser which acts as a separate window on top of what you are doing. Combine this with a web app and you have a second reference window. For example, check address while on Google maps.

- I have Documents to Go so can open all Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint via Dropbox account. Still won't replace working on desktop as not all features are enabled, like pivot tables in excel or transitions in PowerPoint. This is still for reference and look up.

I've tried note taking but quicker to write out notes. For this size, an active digitizer would be the killer app.

Interested in what other people do as well.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] teomor:
- Browsing mainly and reading news via Pulse. And Facebooking and IM'ing a lot.

- Sending links to my PC via 2SendTab when needed (music or videos from Youtube or stuff I need to look at the next morning)

- Remoting into my PC via PhoneMyPC (the best remote app out there) and doing pretty much everything from my bed. LOL.

When I'm not programming at home, I'm pretty much on the tablet all the time and my PC turns into my home cinema and that's it. I would gladly stop using it alltogether as long as Photoshop and other productivity tools were available on Android (which I hope soon).

i don't think you're supposed to have a supernote *already* on the tablet unless you have a transformer prime.

and no. adobe touch apps are all less than 10 bucks.

i don't mind other apps. just adobe collage gave me the feeling that i would enjoy using it.

also adobe photoshop touch was good. but it's nothing compared to the pc version and i wouldn't use my tab for photo editing.

I use mine for the following:

- Ordering takeout (especially dominos making your own pie is great)

- Making online purchases like Ebay & Amazon. (Paypal is great)

- Reading (Magazines, XDA, Manga, Pulse)

- Watching videos (streaming media, anime, youtube)

- Location services (maps, train maps & timetables)

- Gaming

There is an increasing number of tablet friendly(customized) apps that make things very easy. I am sure i use it for more but can't think of them all.

I use my tab for a variety of purposes, most of which are mentioned in others' posts. Mainly it's a great tool for consuming the information & entertainment on the Internet. Although some strides are being made in productivity (e.g. Adobe touch apps), tablets still come nowhere close to the capability of a desktop for work.

Nice work, espacially for people with cm7 and the retro theme.
[Android Themes] minty1978:
Hi, is there any chance you are still working on this theme? Myself and a few other users are really keen for a donut theme for CM9.

My knowledge does not extend to themes or porting.
[Android Themes] AndroidCMD_PL:
For CM7 - it isn't so difficult, but there are some problems for CM9 or CM-X. Because stock ICS and JB interface is really other then GB's one. I'll need to create ACPatch for settings panel, statusbar etc. to get closer GB interface. Then - porting framework - it will be easy. But it is very future plans. I will do clean donut framework port to CM9 to see how it looks. Stay tuned on my work cloud.

Hi, i just bought myself a ns i9020t already rooted with cwm5 and a cm7 rom on it.

I put in my rogers sim card into the phone and I can make phone calls, txt msg but for my internet, im stuck with only edge service, no 3G, i got a service plan for 3G cuz im using it right now on my old xperia x10a 2 write this. Ive reset put on my apn settings 2-3 times and reboot it and still only Edge. Ive read that the nexus s given by rogers is the i9020a so im scared that im stuck with a bummer.

Ive search through forums and found nothing yet so im asking right now sorry for my noob question since im new to NS but is there a way to flash baseband or a rom that can enable 3G on my Ns-i9020t using a at&t Rogers sim card. Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kingsfan917:
Hey guys,

I have been running unnamed rom lately, but on any other rom including stock. My battery lasts for like 8 hours with little use and 4 hours with moderate use. When I see what is draining my battery it looks normal as the display uses the most, but I only have it at 30% brightness most of the time I have insurance should I see if I can get a new battery? Or any other tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MB7H:
Can you post a pic of your battery usage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sykoj82:
Have you tried to calibrate the battery yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] srichachasauce:
Many things could cause battery drainage, such as oc-ing. You could find the original Samsung battery on eBay for a cheap price. Before buying one, try doing the following:

Clear OC/UV settings (i.e. put to defaults)

Download Battery Calibration by NeMa (on the Play Market)

Charge your phone and wait until it reaches 100%*

Tap on "Battery Calibration" and done

Once calibrated, use your phone as you normally would until the battery dies. Only when it dies you can charge it. You can charge as you please from then on.

Note: If it does not reach up to 100%, go to CWM and clear battery stats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Which other firmwares? Anything UCKK6-based has known documented wifi drain issues.

The usual applies - look in battery statistics, use BetterBatteryStats to hunt wakelocks.

THIS DOES NOTHING ON ANY SAMSUNG GALAXY S DEVICE!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasond816:
never tried the battery calibration?... does it actually work or no?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ghstudent:
have you installed any new apps recently? those apps that use a lot of apps in the background are a pest to your battery life as they usually won't show up in the battery monitor. try disabling your data when not in use and see if that helps. if the current rom you are on does not have a toggle bar with data use the "data enabler widget" by Farproc.

Mod edit: Thread closed. This is borderline, if not explicitly, fraud.

The technique involves wrongfully claiming that you are a student at a particular community college--one, in which you do not intend on taking any classes. It is unethical, and really mean to use the college in such a manner.

If the OP wants to make another thread explaining how people with .edu mail accounts (college professors, students, and staff) can perform a free developer unlock, that is fine. Just please do not ever write about how to defraud an educational institution. That's just unethical.
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
If your thread was deleted, it's probably not without a reason. What you're explaining in this tutorial seems illegal to me, this might be the problem. I doubt if mods will keep this thread alive...

[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Of course. It's fraud. You're not a developer and you're not a student of said university.
[Nokia Lumia 800] MoonRaven:
The problem with this is that you are claiming to be something/someone that you are not (a student). This is a procedure that is open to everyone if you register as a developer ($99 a year).
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
An interop unlock isn't illegal as you may do with your phone whatever you want. It may void your warranty though, get over it.

This is fraud, and fraud is illegal, for sure.
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
chill mate..if the admin or moderators feel it not legal or not worth keeping it here..or not useful , dey will delete it. and for your information, i did not get a PM from any admin or mod about deleting the thread nor any warning...i am here only to help the people with their devices till interop is present.:)

no hard feelings, peace out.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
This is not a interop unlock in the first place. Its the lite version of the dev unlock. You can sideload three apps with it. And as most people said I guess its illegal. Don't forget that your live id is sent to Microsoft during this step.

[Vibrant Android Development] chad0989:
This was a pretty big hit with the gnex and nexus s guys so I figure that I would extend it to the aries series phones:

This is for kernel devs only. The patch itself is useless to those who do not/can not compile their own kernel.

This patch allows one to force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (e.g. many car chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support. It also provides additional security when connecting to public charging stations because by forcing AC charging, USB/adb data transfers are disabled, protecting your data.

Fast charge can be toggled by issuing:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

and off:

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

Some roms (AOKP) have also implemented toggles.

In addition I have created a toggle fast charge widget that may be used to toggle fast charge on and off right from your home screen:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.fastchargewidget

For the widget (or any fast charge toggle) to work, you MUST be running a kernel that has this patch implemented.

As a good gesture to support a fellow dev, I ask that if you implement the patch into your kernel, please link to my widget as one means to toggle it. You are of course free to provide other ways to toggle it as well if you so desire.

Kernel devs, if you would like to test the widget yourself to confirm its working, and for convenience of testing, please contact me and I will provide you with a copy. You must show that you are a kernel dev though (i.e. link me to your kernel post so I can match your username).

Here you go. Good luck have fun:

I recently dropped my phone and it hit three things like a railing, ledge and the ground, all withing the same second. After that, my phone has been suffering from bad battery problems. I used different kernels, ROMs, apps, and batteries and they all have no effect. I used juice defender today and my phone was on standby for 4 hours. From 100%, it was down to 67% on standby. That was also with JuiceDefender on. JuiceDefender said that my battery life lasted 3.01x longer than 48 hours ago. My phone has a dent on the chrome part that is about 3 mm wide but the cracks in the chrome are about 8 mm. The cracks aren't noticeable. Will T-Mobile accept the phone and replace it? I will get it to stock before I take it to the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i don't see any relation between the battery poor performance and the fall

you can get better battery life by under clocking the CPU

if you have stuff running in the background it's normal to lose that much battery in 4 hours
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
You might be able to get away with it. Depends on how much the rep cares that looks at your phone. Just make sure you stick with the fact your battery has problems. Usually they only don't accept it if it has water damage as indicated by the little paper thing in the battery bay. You might be better off phoning in the problem and having them walk you through sending it to them, once you send it in usually they don't bother checking them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
I don't have any apps running in the background. I just used my browser for a few minutes and music and it dropped from 41% to 34%. I'll upload a pic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Idk...I'd have to agree that looks normal especially with that music usage

With faux under clocked to 1.026ghz and under voted across the board -100 I'm getting amazing battery life. Half an hour of Netflix and 2.5 hrs screen on time and I had a total of 14hrs since last charge with 30 something percent remaining. And it's just as snappy as stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:
I listened to music for 40 minutes out of the entire time it was off charge. Are you forgetting that I also used Juice Defender. And i didn't turn data on until right before I took the screenshot.

Take it to the store and see if they make you pay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aranurea:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kr3w1337:
Tell them you have screen issues, battery issues, signal issues, lag issues, call dropping issues, slow data issues.

Stack it up real nice. If it turns out you have to pay, argue to get out of it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smtolman:
So I'm using the Plantronics M20 bluetooth headset (standard universal). When my screen is off and i hold the talk button for two seconds to activate voice talk, nothing happens until i manually turn on my phone's screen, which seems counter intuitive to the purpose of a bluetooth headset. When the screen is on and i trigger voice talk, it brings up the app and commands with no problem. My question is, is there a way to make it so the phone will wake up when activating voice talk, rather than having to manually wake up my phone before being able to give commands? I tried using vlingo and it gives me the same problems. Also im using Mijj's blended ICS if that makes a difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smtolman:
derp

nevermind i figured it out... for those of you who are wondering, if you manually lock your screen to go into standby mode, then it will require you manually turning it on before entering voice talk. which makes sense i suppose. so if you let your phone go into standby mode after waiting (15 seconds or whatever you have it set to) then you can wake it up with your bluetooth's voice talk command. hope this helps someone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
So I think my biggest complaint on this phone, in my opinion, is touchwiz. I think its plain ugly and makes my phone look like a cartoon. And the apps like the calculator dialer clock calendar etc. all try desperately in subtle and blatant ways to copy apple, which really irritates me because the stock GB apps worked just fine, and in some ways I think better.

Touchwiz goes far beyond the launcher, and I've done everything I know how to do that I've searched to replace my launcher and excessively theme to make my phone look like ICS and keep touchwiz out of my face...but its still irritating to me to open up my contacts and be greeted with this silly interface that makes dialing and finding contacts a swiping-frenzy joke while the stock GB dialer was perfectly fine, and better IMO.

Coming from the Nexus phones with ICS...Gingerbread is no prize either but I think is much better as far as all those apps go. So my question is if its possible to replace the built in dialer, clock, calendar, calculator with .apks or other files? and If so how I would go about doing it? Thanks everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
Here's what I do.

Freeze all the touchwiz apps I dont like (i.e. dialer, contacts, launcher, etc.) and I use Apex Launcher and Go Contacts/Go Dialer EX. Works fine, and you can theme that easily.

If you are sporty, you can download a Nexus ICS rom and pull the phone/dialer, contacts, calc, etc. that you like, and try to put it in your system/app folder or data/app folder. havent tried this so it may not work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Thats what I think I may do...but I'm probably going to take the stock GB stuff since I'm thinking ICS stuff wouldn't work right on juggs. I'll try to pull the apk's from eugene's CM7 and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
Oh sorry, I have ICS on the brain. Forgot to check your sig and see you were on Gingerbread :)

alot of times, you may be able to find the AOSP version of the apps in the market too.
