Hi,

new to the forum, wondering to buy 300 (for gps w/o dongle) or prime (and can't decide !)

To prime users, I would like to know how you consider Super IPS + Mode, for outside (browsing especially) : gadget, usefull, essentiel ?

Do you use this mode every time outside or only in very bright conditions ?

I've found some videos on it but hard to see what it gives in real life.

Any commments appreciated ! Thanks.

Super IPS+

I use the Super IPS+ quite a lot. Anytime I have glare on my screen from Indoor lights or when Im sitting on my porch during daylight. It is bright enough also that I use it in the middle of the night to see the keys on the Docking Keyboard.

Super IPS+ is an amazing feature that I have come to love and would not get another tablet unless it has Super IPS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BethyM:
I find it useful. I'm able to sit outside, with my sunglasses on in the sun, and read the screen clearly. I use to have problems doing the same with my Nook Color which was considered to have a decent screen for outdoor viewing. The difference when you turn the IPS+ mode on is very noticeable. If it's necessary for you to see it outdoors, then it's a worthwhile upgrade.

What applications/are you looking to get done with GPS? Just so we can assess what kind of GPS performance would be acceptable for your usage cases.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
get the prime. read the thread in my signature called the positive transformer thread. super ips+ makes the screen and colors pop more. can be used indoors also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
I use the ISP + feature almost daily, whenever I'm outdoors.

Would I not consider any other tablet simply because it didn't have ISP+?

No. But it would certainly swing things in the favor of any tablet that did have that feature!

Hardly a "gimmick"...:eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
super ips + is more than just a brighter screen compared to regular ips. super has higher contrast ratio. better color reproduction, blacks are blacker, whites are whiter..etc..colors more vibrant ans so on.

ips is good but super ips+ is a newer technology. before new ipad came out, prime was toted as having the best screen display of any tablet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
Thats funny, some of the Devs working on the prime, have mentioned IPS+ is just the brightness turned all the way up (an exeptional bright screen yes), apparently the prime was artificially blocked from going to its brightest setting, and then slapped slapped with an 'IPS+ 'feature', which turns on its highest brightness setting.

This is what ive read some devs saying, im by no means an expert in the matter, so cant attain to its validity, but devs i tend to trust in these matters

Its a nice bright screen, no doubt, i guess we'll have to wait until the 300 comes out, to see whether its just as 'bright'
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
They're obviously not drinking enough of the kool aid :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toffc1:
Thank you all for your feedbacks !

I might, considering what you say on super IPS+, and I believe the screen quality is essential.

If anyone is interested in, I found some benchmarks on the french site "Les numériques" for the prime :

> Contrast 1224:1 for IPS and 1138:1 for Super IPS+

> Brithness 387 cd/m2 for IPS and 619 cd/m2 (!) for Super IPS+

I haven't thought 300's normal IPS could be different than Prime's one, so I might wait some tests indeed.

I would like to use GPS in car for some real-time traffic mapping based on floating car data and/or for (legal !) community speed camera alerts (like wikango, icoyote..). But actually I don't know if either is possible without 3G (I do not have a 3G smartphone so no tethering). So I might only dream ;) ?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limitz Cash:
Can you get into download mode , either with the button combo or usb jig? If you cannot, then it's the bootloader. You probably have a kernel problem. If you flash a kernel that doesn't work for your rom, then you get a bootloop. Or if Odin fails to flash the kernel, happens to me every other day. But Odin eventually flashes successfully, no need to go back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Jig is ur answer.

From ur op in that other thread it looks like u have froyo bootloaders.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennertt:
Hi guys,

I am flashing my gf's phone and tried to root the phone first. Flashed a 'PDA' file in ODIN as the guide said.

Now my Galaxy S has the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death) logo. I can still go into the Download-mode, so i guess there is no need for panic.

I read a lot of guide's and faq's here at XDA, and I think I am supposed to flash new firmware via ODIN (with a PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC file).

My problem is that all the links to this firmware are down or dead, Argh!

Can you provide me a working link with the right and some advice?

BTW, I flashed my HD2, and HTC Sensation many times before, but I am new to flashing Samsungs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
When you flashed the PIT file I assume that you selected repartition?

The PIT file contains the "Drive" layout when you select repartition it will completely wipe the phone as you have found out.

If the phone is able to boot into download mode you will be able to flash another ROM.

I would suggest Darky's 10.2 as this is a odin flashable ROM and it is based on the Samsung stock ROM's.

If you use Darky's you do not have to root the phone before flashing as Darky's complete ROM includes root standard.

Most of the new custom ROM's do not require root before hand as root is included unless the thread states other wise
[Galaxy S II General] slashnburn:
After an initial hesitation, I decided to take the plunge and venture into the world of non-stock ROMS and Kernels.

As you can see from the attached image, I have been busy, but I think I have found the right combo for me, and it goes like this,...

Wanamlite 11.1 ROM Blue themed

Abyss 2.2 Kernel

NELP2 Modem. (on 3 UK) (`kin awesome BTW)

It has been quite a learning curve, (5 days to be precise lol) But I now (kinda) know the difference between AOKP, AOSP and MIUI ( the latter I have avoided - If I wanted my phone to look like an iPhone, I`d have bought an iPhone, A personal thing I guess, each to their own)

I have not had any FC`s, (apart from skyfire), and I attribute that to good practice (as screamed untold times throughout these forums)

1. Before flashing, I laways do a Dalvik wipe, user data(factory reset) wipe, cache wipe, Format system, format cache, and fix permissions.

2. After flashing, I do the same (except format system)

3. I boot the phone normally, and go through the rigmarole of getting to your homescreen.

4. I reboot into recovery, and do another cache wipe, dalvik wipe, and fix permissions ( I do not wipe user data - durrr lol)

It might seem like a particularly anal way to go about it, But After such a good success rate, I can safely say it works 100% of the time (disclaimer...On my particular device)

Does anyone have any tips that add up to the foolproof flashing method???

Welcome to XDA and Galaxy SII forums. :)

I haven't started the rooting and flashing custom ROM's yet but I did started using Odin to flash official ICS firmware.

I'm still not safe about rooting the device though, I always get the feeling that I'm going to screw everything up (I tend to do that sometimes :P).

It's nice to know everything is working great for you.

I will get to flash custom Rom's one day, but I'm happy with Samsung official right now. :)

You can find the Answer in the attechment and for everyone who is not that into the German language here the translation:

Hello,

Thank you for your request related to your HTC Desire HD

We only have the confirmation that it will roll out this year. But there is no specific date when it will happen. Our experts predict, it wont be later than August and expect it more likely happen in May.

[Standart things about to contact them again and a link to survey]

[Desire HD General] clouds5:
Great news :) So they say May and August? Then I'd say it comes in June or July :P

I hope sooner rather then later, my DHD is starting to fall apart (Volume rocker could fall out any moment i feel, power button sometimes does not work, Scratches all over, Sim/SDcard case is falling off sometimes and the battery doesnt get better either :D).

And my contract runs out in September so i hope i can still experience ICS on this device that has suited so well in the past 2 years. And it was such an amazing community here on XDA. Great fun, great roms and i learned so much about Android and stuff :)
[Desire HD General] MiXed92:
I don't know why they even stated out August cause I did not even mentioned it in my original request to them o.O

But since they said not later than august but expeted to be in May i would agree with you and say mid of June ;)

I triy to type "adb shell" in cmd which works but upon typing "su", it throws me a: "permission denied" and on the screen it says: "shell has been denied Superuser permissions.

In the superuser app, there is no record of ever accepting or denying "shell" and clearing Superuser's apk data doesn't help. Everything else related to root works besides giving adb root permissions.

What to do? In some other forum, someone said it was kernel related?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhernand1102:
You need to go to settings then developers options and enable root access to adb.

Not running CM9 anymore, though, but I have no such option? I'm running stock.

The internet seems to be getting really slow for me recently on my ATT OSGS2. I was wondering if a hardware problem could cause this or if this is sctrictly a network issue? Anyone who could shed some light on this? It would be greatly appreciated. My speeds vary greatly. The highest I get at work....in an Airpoprt with Wifi is turned off and just connected to the data is 4000 up 1000 down. and then right after the test was ran again and it said 52 up and 200 down? That seems odd.

Also, I can take the phone to a warranty center and get a "Refurbished" one since it's still under the year warranty but what do you all think about the "Refurbished" phones?

Thanks again all.

Since I bought my cell (about 1 year ago) I've been experiencing low battery life. I've used different roms, tried about almost everything to decrease battery consumption (2g, no wi-fi, etc) but it still lasts about max 8h (moderate usage). While using continously it lasts max 2-3h. So is this normal, what could I possibly do about it or should I just buy a new battery?

I'm running CM7.2 RC1

Worked fine for a while and now th phone looses 10% per hour (idle). Checked OS monitor and System panel but there is nothing eating CPU or something that shouldn't run.

Only thing that changed between the two phone states (fine / annoying as hell) is some experimenting with GetRIL. So I re-installed the RIL (v20l) that worked fine before but it didn't help.

Also I have two batteries. The original LG and the Andida, both give crappy results. Think I'm going to try to go back to the stock ROM, see if it helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
i just did that. having two batteries will probably confuse the calibration unless u calibrated them the same way. either way, from what im guessing, not fully discharging the batt will mess the readings as 1 constant battery ?
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
According to my earlier measurements the Andida is also about 1500 mAh in real life. So it shouldn't differ much. From what I read clearing the battery stats doesn't do much, said some Google developer. I'm back to v20r now and it looks much better.

40% in 7 hours, before it was 10% per hour idle.

Today it was even better, ~30% in 8 hours. This looks more like I was used to.

I can't determine the cause, but certain directories & files that I put on sd-ext are disappearing on me, some within hours (wallpaper folder). The other strange thing happening is a lot of my image files (.png icons) become unreadable & appearing to be corrupted. These same files can be stored on internal SD without this happening. I have checked the disk in windows w/o errors.

The only thing I can suspect is, not too long ago I accidentally partitioned my SD-ext to 0mb in CWM.
