[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
As a professional software engineer with over 20 years in the industry, I disagree. The ones getting paid are usually more laid back than the amateurs. I have my paycheck, resume, and credits - I don't need to prove anything. There are also those in my industry who are only competitive in terms of padding and lying on their resume's.

An amateur, on the other hand, actually CARES about what they are doing. They might do it for themselves, or just a pat on the back. There's no promise of a paycheck, so the ONLY incentive to do a job is to do it well.

Of course, some of us do it both professionally, and as a hobby. We are, well, true engineers.. the geeks of the world.

(before someone flames me for the use of "amateur"; its not a negative term. It's properly defined as: a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons. Most amateurs are actually better than their professional/paid peers.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cdrom1028:
Absolutely no disrespect intended!!! I am 20 years in myself. and I have worked a couple places that were laid back. However most places I have been have been very fast paced and competitive. That's just my experience..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
No disrespect taken... none at all. I have to wonder - are those people competing against each other, or with each other for a common goal?

Seems that a workplace where people compete against each other wouldn't accomplish much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
I think he means competition of other companies' engineers. For example if the people of motorola port ics first the ones on samsung will go berserker. honestly unless we are talking about top technology i don't think it is like this at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Perhaps... I don't I I've ever really felt that way. I've always been either so arrogant that the "other guy" wasn't really a consideration or so focused on being the best I could be, that I didn't pay attention to "the other guy."

Perhaps I'm strange in that regard. If so, it'll be a good match for all the other ways I'm strange. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KDOG2020:
I haven't checked this thread I awhile. Kinda dissapointing about all the delays. I guess I'm just one of those impatient people lol.

more news about ICS...still no date,yes i know..

http://wirelessandmobilenews.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-iiblaze-4g-tab-7.0-10.1-ics-updates.html

"We have already heard Samsung’s plan for Wi-Fi Galaxy Tabs and several other carriers, but T-Mobile was glaringly absent. Now the T-Mobile plans are finally out and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will both receive upgrades to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The only question left is how long until it is released."

source: http://www.galaxytabs.com/2012/05/tmobile-galaxy-tabs-ics/

P.S. I know most of us are angry about the delay,but...watch the bright side..WE WILL get it sooner or later.

P.S2. Don't kill the messenger lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] solom01:
I'm not at all angry. I also own an Asus Transformer which had ICS released quickly. The software is a disaster, there is no way to go back to Honeycomb, and the end result is that many of these tablets have gone from being reliable products to total pieces of junk. Many of the people in the XDA Transformer forum who were whining about not having ICS are now screaming to get a stable version of HC back. If you want to see a real disaster of what happens when software is released when it's half baked just take a look at the XDA Transformer forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Falcon1:
I agree

I have used Samsung devices like smartphones and tablets but I do not know what game Samsung is playing since they do not open the sources for several hardware items and firmware. If I want to buy a close device I would buy a windows mobile or an IPAD but Samsung tries to appear like the good people who apparently are selling open source devices with ANDROID but at the same time are appearing like the worst companies that only think in money and not in human beings.

No new updates from Canada? I have the international version and still no new update available :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Haesslich:
If someone had it, they'd have posted by now. Remember, it said "eligible" - not that they must release it during the quarter.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tzacapaca:
forget about eligible --> http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00046726&fm_seq=49755

Specific models that will receive the ICS update include the following devices.

Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi (P6210)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (SGH-t869)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Brabusik:
I cant see my 6200 in this list doest it means what I think?(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tzacapaca:
P6200 is the international version,so you will not see it on samsung.com which is american site of samsung:)..but don't worry it will be either released by samsung itself or ported by our brave devs :D

The poster I was replying to was asking about it in Canada, per the following press release:

The bold for emphasis is mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KDOG2020:
This is getting ridiculous. Where the heck is this update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aperture:
SE dropped ICS update for xperia play... i do hope that Samsung don't follow SE's decision with our Tab Plus..

it's not going to be release for the G+ until XMas. By the the Google Tab will be out and the G+ will be worth $100 on fleabay.:):eek:

[HTC One S] Fondue:
Hi all,

Picked up my One S on Monday and, so far, in almost every way it's my "perfect" phone - great feel, weight, crazy slick... just lovely.

However (and why is there ALWAYS an Achilles heel?), I'm really not happy about the screen. Ok, it's pentile, but so was my Desire (AMOLED one) and I never had a single problem with that. It's just this one seems so, well, pink! Not just in white balance, but there seems to be too much red everywhere - e.g. text on grey in Tweetdeck has crazy amounts of red fringing (especially noticeable on the yellow too), and the over saturated colours are almost too much (though not much more than my Desire, to be honest).

(Quick comparison of the screen temps attached)

I mean, seriously, that's not normal, right?

Am I the only person who seems to notice red / pink outlines on everything, am I the only person bothered by it, or am I just unlucky with this phone?

I went to Carphone to swap it, but they wouldn't because their manager was out and because I traded down from the X on Monday (flickering screen nightmare), so I had a play on their display model and I convinced myself the screen on that one was better! But, I'd love a second opinion!

Cheers!
[HTC One S] h.han:
Oh that's really pink! Will check mine when it finishes the first round charging.
[HTC One S] wayne850:
I would say this isn't normal. On amoled Displays white areas appear a bit blueish or grey. But this red/pink looks unnormal
[HTC One S] alex_oO:
no, this doesn't look normal. But the thin red and green outlines are caused by the pentile-matrix, this is normal.
[HTC One S] ossy1337:
Just download Screen Adjuster and increase blue and green values a bit and your red screen will be gone
[HTC One S] Fondue:
That's a v. useful app! It's definitely taken the edge off (green & blue at +5), but I'll still pursue a replacement as the contrast has taken a bit of a hit now.

(I'm such a perfectionist!)
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
I see an difference in the white background yes... but other that that? Nope... it's just you...
[HTC One S] Fondue:
Well, when I say "see" I meant on their own One S rather than on my screenshot.
[HTC One S] djpc:
I sometimes notice it being a bit pink when the brightness is set low, have you tired using auto brightness or putting it a bit higher?
[HTC One S] encho:
Same here, it is pinkish only on low brightness.
[HTC One S] Fondue:
Hmm. Other than at 100% brightness, it still seems pinkish. I finally get to persuade CPW to give me a replacement tomorrow...
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
That's looking odd definitely. Let us know if the replacement is better.

I haven't noticed any issue on mine

sent using HTC1S
[HTC One S] mannequin:
mine screen is definitely on the warm side of things (meaning the whites are yellow'ish). seeing how One X has a yellow tint issue (different screen manufacturers involved it seems) and you're playing a screen lottery i wonder if One S is the same. slightly warmer screens is not an issue per se but a strong yellow tint definitely effects the overall brightness and sharpness. i would love to compare different units in store to see if One S with cooler screens actually exist.

the pink tint is a straight up defect, however.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
This probably won't help you. It won't hurt I guess, but this is something that can be worked out with a software solution. The SGS had something called Voodoo Colors, and I'm assuming that at some point that'll make it to the One S, as it's an AMOLED device as well. The colors changing on low brightness is one of the characteristics of an AMOLED screen.

As a poster above recommended, install that tool and set adjust the values for now. In due time, this'll be worked out. HTC just didnt do a great job with their color profile.

i have xperia neo v running stock ics than root my without unlocking the bootloader using ultimate rom can i flash stock jb rom to my neo v??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] karanrajkapur:
Stock JB ROM?!?!?

What?!?!?

lol!! :D

JB ROMs need custom kernels which can only be flashed on an unlocked bootloader.

So, you need to unlock it first.

Being on an locked bootloader isn't a good excuse though.

First unlock your BL, and then have fun with your device!! :p

Until then you'll have to be at peace with the ROMs supporting a locked bootloader.

Don't forget to hit the thanks button! :D

say no to Drugs and ICS! :D

What can I do besides gain root with this status? Down to the technical details if you will. Thanks!

I think I found the answer. Please verify. Apparently I can root and install custom ROMs that use the stock kernel. Right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
You can flash any ROM, kernel, or recovery. What you cannot flash are the radios, Hboots, or splash screens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damastah:
Hmmm. Ok.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damastah:
And I can't find a rooting tutorial for the evo design. Is it safe to unlock the bootloader and then flash the su package once I get the custom recovery on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
This isn't the design forum, there isn't a forum for the design on xda, its a different device from the evo4g so we can't answer your questions other than a guess. I would say once you have recovery there should be no issue flashing SuperUser and the SU binaries for SuperUser
[General Questions and Answers] ALFRAHI:
Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there is any way to unlock my Samsung Prevail SPH-M820-BST Boost Mobile "Android 2.3.6" to work with any other CDMA network.

If there is any chance to unlock it whether it is software or hardware please advice.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] HazzaBlake:
Best thing to do would be to post in the Q and A section, dude.
[General Questions and Answers] rcolitz:
programming codes

First off you must obtain your MSL (Master Service Lock) number a six digit code unique inky to your phone. You can actually get that number through Boosts automated system 611 or by speaking to a customer service Rep. On your dial pad you'll want to enter ##3282# you'll see a dialog appear asking for your MSL number, enter it. To edit you'll. Have to enter it again. There is also ##33284# it asks for the MSL just enter 777468 (SPRINT) that's another menu. Also typing ##MSL NUMBER# allows you to change the MDN and other number. Just do a search on Sprint programming codes because they work and I've been a Boost Mobile customer since 2007.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroidCommander:
The ##MSL# doesn't work on Galaxy Grand Prime. It just disappears as soon as you hit the last #.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo2k8:
Hi,

My phone runs the stock rom from samsung 4.0.3 XWLP7

I have problem with the option "contacts to display" which is into the menu of the "contact" app

When I go to customize view as example... whatsapp is deactivated, sim card and some of the gmail contact groups, when I save the setting everything is fine but if I go later back into the contacts they are all shown up again as if they are set to active.

Anyone having the same problem? On android 2.3.6 everything was fine with it..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
works fine here, but i have whatsapp and skype to no sync. just tried untick facebook and it removes all these contacts
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo2k8:
yes thats correct the contacts are removed but if you look later after some hours everything is back on like it was before the change
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
No they did'nt came back, just checked
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldmankm:
whats wrong

My back button dont work, when I'm on contact. Why?

Can somebody help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo2k8:
seems that the custom view is only shown on my phone after making the changes. First couple times when I opened the contacts the custom view was default but now it's again the normal view with all contacts in it

Custom view after editing the settings ( pic 1)

8 minutes later , like I said it's back to normal (all visible) but the settings are set (pic 2)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axe77:
Same problem here on Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM. Also when you're in a custom view and try to search a contact, the view reverts to the 'all contacts' view and thus searches in all your contacts instead of the ones defined in the custom view.

Very annoying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo2k8:
Seems like nobody knows how to fix it so I switched completely to go launcher ex with the contacts ex addon and it works perfectly. It's for sure bug in the default Samsung contacts app

Try to delete the "Contacts" shortcut and add it again.

Worked for me..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonTraitor:
I just did this and it worked LOL

I was having same problem. I had groups set-up and had some groups turned off, but they kept on re-appearing, even though the group was still unchecked. I had to keep "checking" the groups, and then unchecking them again, but they soon re-appeared!

Resolution (worked for me):

Delete Contacts Shortcut from Homescreen/Docking Bar (I done this for my Go Launcher EX Docking Bar)

Open the Contacts app from the main icon in the app screen (not via shortcut)

Customize your contacts list.

Now create the Contacts shortcut again on your Homescreen/Docking Bar

I done all the above, and my Contacts are behaving themselves, even after a reboot :)
