[Nexus Q General] Quinny899:
So, with the Nexus Q hacked to run standard Android apps, I was thinking, could you install a program like this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en on both it and another device, and use it with the Xperia Play controller in the app, thus controlling Xperia Play compatible apps with another device?

It would be cool if you could, but is it possible?

Hey

Whats the best QWERTY Android phone right now (or coming in the near future)? I just need it to have XDA support by a lot of members and support (now or in the future) for Android 4.0/4.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceian:
Xda support??

Swiftkey x and smart keyboard are pretty good...

Try out your self...

Swiftkey predicts words before you start typing which is awesome and thats why I prefer it

I have no idea what you are talking about.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticklefish:
Possibly the Sony Xperia Mini Pro. It's relatively small but it's well supported and does have official ICS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
If you look past the fact that it was released in 2010, I would definately say the HTC Desire Z aka G2. It has fantastic build quality and no qwerty devices yet, have surpased its awesomeness IMO. I have used many Samsung qwerty devices and they are just pitiful compared to the Desire Z. There are quite a few ICS roms for it here on xda.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
+1 for the g2. There are quite a few ICS roms for it that are more than suitable as a daily driver. I'm still looking for a worthy successor that would add NFC, a front facing cam, and a dual core processor. That's really all it's missing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
+1 for this as well, adding on SwiftKeys prediction to the physical keyboard is nice as well. (Current rom/etc in sig).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
The screen is a bit too small for my tastes :( Other than that looks like a good phone

Well, I did not state this but I currently have a Desire Z and as of right now, it is not getting a officialy ICS update. Im having problems with it (hardware wise looks like) and Desire Zs are not being sold anymore so im SOL. Thats why Im asking on another physical QWERTY keyboard devices that has XDA support AND has or will recieve a official update to ICS/JB.

Motorola Droid 4?

Posted from my rooted Motorola Atrix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayro Eclair:
Xperia Pro MK16i/a. Got official ICS update from sony and ICS custom rom from freexperia/cyanogenmod team. single core processor msm8255 clocked at 1Ghz and 512mb of ram, HDPI devices. The bigger version of xperia mini pro sk17.

In my opinion, moto droid 3 is much better in term of hardware but the stupidity of motorola locking the bootloader, i suggest better you buy xperia pro..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Verizon just announced the droid incredible- this is pretty close, but it's missing the hardware keyboard. It has an S4 dual core, NFC, micro SD, and it's made by HTC. All they need to do now is add a keyboard and sell it on T-mo, or at least sell it with T-mo compatible bands.

Some might think the 4" screen size is too small, especially compared to some of the recent flagship phones. I don't watch many movies on my phone, so I would rather have portability and a convenient form factor. If the large screen trend continues, we might see bag phones make a comeback. :)

I guess the era of physical keyboards is over, there really are no phones out there that aren't borderline obsolete and if you want to buy unlocked then good luck getting anything released after 2010

Honestly I dont get why none of those chinese cloners can make a good 6577 or 6589 phone with a slide-out qwerty:confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicy_adobo:
I would've gone for the Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II (if it were available in my country), so I had to settle for SE Xperia Pro MK16i. I got really tired of full-touch screen slabs, so I went back to slide-out qwerty models. I really have no options available (imports are out of the question because I want local support in case of faulty hardware/manufacture defects and phone has to be compatible with our GSM infrastructure), it's sad I have to buy a 2011 model phone to use in 2013.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjonko:
I dont know if you would be satisfied with its 800MHz single-core processor, but im actually quite pleased with the original qwerty on my LG Optimus L5, screen size iz fine 4.0'', and it has a lot of languages in it.

Here Google is not even shipping yet, and I am asking about battery replacement...

This is really a request for someone to post a teardown.

If we can get it open, I am sure batteries will be available.

Maybe we can even add a 5V line to the USB connector...

The Nexus 7 case looks pretty hard to open.

Would love to see how it is done, but I am not willing to destroy mine...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkpm:

I am hoping for pretty decent internals.

The designer mentioned that it might have a plastic exterior, but it has a magnesium frame inside for stiffness.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkpm:
Magnesium? I hope not.

Magnesium is highly flammable with extremely hot flames reaching 3100C. It's used to make sparklers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morell2:
Wow why
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
A lot of laptop manufacturers use Magnesium Alloy frames.

You're right in that they don't use pure Magnesium cause that would be bad, but a good water damage indicator.

Why? LOL I don't know, not a chemist.

Where's some crazy guys burning a magnesium crank case from a car.

Umm ok thanks. Is it still used though?

Car alloy wheels were made of magnesium up to a while ago, but stopped due to fire concerns (a burning tire would start an explosion)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
The ignition temperature of magnesium is over 600C, the lithium in the battery is more dangerous anyway.

Guess AT&T did not get or agree with that memo...

The way I see it blame falls on the AT&T death star.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emjlr3:
yes ATT has been horrible, but what can one do that really matters? Verizon I have heard hasn't been much better - they are used to A. Apple pushing its own updates, and letting them have their way, and B. not giving a **** about Android updates, because it takes OEMS 9 months to "refresh" their skins.

Nokia lost and arm and a leg giving away the Lumia for $100, and then for free, not so sure they could survive another such Apocalypse only a few months later.

if that is the case, there was probably verbiage in there delineating the option to only major rehashes - but seriously, the Carriers have nothing to do, just push it?!?!?!

OK. I did not say all of these are definite C R A P for EVERYONE. I don't mind them being there as the phone comes from the store. I DO MIND the maker (software/hardware, whatever) who decides to bet the stability of the system and the device on such apps of highly conditional usability.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Yes, guys I agree with all this above...

But, every time I try some new app that is supposed to do more than the previous one did in this regard, there is always something it fails to cover...

So, you say "uninstall these apps"- Oh, I would gladly...

My phone is rooted and on a stock Gingerbread with Abyss kernel.

Still when I try with these apps any kind of subversive maneuver against those boring apps, I either get warning that it is a system app, blah, blah, blah, or that is can not be uninstalled...

So, does Titanium Backup deal with that too?

As for youtube being used by business people- today everything and everybody that earns a lot of money is called a business/businessman. I mean, you could make an app that sells legal porn and erotica and sell it to big sharks and then present the app as an business app. In this kind of way, youtube is also business type of environment... But, oh, why do I bother...

I am honestly so grateful that we nowadays have this kind of opportunities coming from such small devices... But, being an idealist, I strongly wish we would have more say as per kind of control over the software and the ways it behaves once we have bought the device, without the need to sweat over some hidden error in the kernel of a ROM we want to flash... :)

But, I admit, I am a spoiled little brat always wanting more...

Hey, they say "if you don't ask, you don't get..." :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmick30:
Well, I did not yet get error messages. Only warnings that if I mess with these critical system apps (youtube and company :) ), the system MIGHT become unstable and unresponsive..

So, it basically walls up those unwanted aps in the cupboard while the rest of the polite housemates are having fun at the party? :) Without throwing them in the sewage canal... :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
You cannot simply uninstall system apps using the built in app management. You need apps that can uninstall system apps. Like titanium backup which I count on. Make a backup of the app before uninstalling it, just in case. Another one that can do it is system tuner pro.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Thought I'd post this in case it might help someone. I just switched from an iphone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and am having a fun time (read: ***** of a time) transferring my stuff over. After a lot of reading, I found a way to move my iphone music including playlists over to the new phone.

Here was my situation - I had a bunch of mp3s and playlists on my iphone that were not synced to itunes, and if you know how that works, if you try to sync your phone to the itunes library, what happens is that whatever is on your phone gets erased and overwritten with your music library in itunes.

I looked online for a simple step by step solution but instead of finding one, I found a bunch of different piecemeal solutions that only took care of some of my problems and did not have the entire process from start to finish so I had to devise my own way using bits and pieces of other solutions. Here's what I did:

btw, all apps I used were free.

1. Install and run Sharepod on your PC. This program will export the music and playlists on your iphone to your PC. You want to choose the Backup Ipod option and then create a folder on your PC to store the music files. Also, you want to make sure you check the Import my music to Itunes box. This will add all of the files and playlists to your itunes library.

2. Install an app called easy phone tunes on your phone.

3. Install the PC component of easy phone tunes on your PC.

4. Run the app on your phone and follow the prompts.

5. Run the program on your PC and follow the prompts.

6. Sit back and relax while all of your music and all of your playlists are transferred over.

Very simple, very easy, and worked great for me. Hope it helps someone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kangi26:
Another method you can use is DoubleTwist(free in the market). It sync's from iTunes

I create a playlist in iTunes on my PC just for my phone. Installed DoubleTwist on my PC, and my phone, tell DoubleTwist which playlist to sync, and it does the rest
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] robbyr:
+1 for DoubleTwist!

I use the wireless version, which is a little silly since I am sitting in front of my PC when I sync.

The only complaint that I have with DoubleTwist (player) is that it doesn't work with my BT headphone controls. Still looking for a solution there but for the synch, it is great!

Why not use Samsung Kies software? Not only does it transfer itunes it can even read your iPhone backup file and transfer your text, email, sms, pics, etc. Works very well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
I looked at Kies but didn't see an option to transfer sms/texts to the S3.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] yokken:
Oh god, I have nothing but bad things to say about DoubleTwist. It has duplicated my music, erased my playlists, and locked up my computer multiple times. My advice would be to avoid it.

I used Easy Phone Tunes. It's a variant of the utility Samsung put out a few weeks ago to help iTunes users sync their stuff to their new Galaxy easily. It's pretty simple. Plus the developers emailed me back within 2 hours. I didn't think I'd get a response at all.
