[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berofx:
I'm looking at buying this tablet just for reading (PDFs, web content), 3-4 hour periods. Is the screen good for reading, or will it tire my eyes quickly (like the iPad 1, 2)?

Not talking about white balance or contrast, more about the screen resolution (though this has 170 dpi over 130 on the old iPads).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innov:
If the ipad 10 inch screen tire you out quickly then I think the 7 inch tab 2 won't make things better, and I doubt better screen intensity (170 ppi or dpi) have any effect than overall look and sharpness of the images.

Altough in my personal opinion, reading and browsing in this tab 2 is far better than my previous experience in 4 inch x10i
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berofx:
Definitely giving it a thumbs up

So I got one yesterday.

It took me a good half a day to get used to the screen, but it's always like that for me when it comes to Samsung screens (no idea why).

At first the screen looks and feels pixelated, but you get used to it pretty fast. Not the brightest display either. PDFs look pretty bad on Polaris Office, but decent on Adobe Reader. Small text IS hard to read, so either get used to zooming-in or reading in landscape mode.

Kindle (app) works and looks great.

Other than that, Chrome works good, it has a hard time detecting when I tap the Omnibar, closing tabs is a bit slow and sometimes the text gets (and stays) blurry when zooming (haven't tried the default browser). Opera works fine.

The device reports about 4gb of available storage, plenty for books. Battery life is good (about 5-6 hrs of WiFi surfing), will know more when I use it more.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyzoc:
I prefer the 7 in tablets over the 10 in variety because I can hold it with one hand comfortably. Also because I have bifocals, I like to hold it closer to my face so I don't rest it on my knee like you might with a 10 in one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petarsson:
Hi,

as I have successfully changed the navbar icons in my systemui.apk (flashable mod does not work on modaco, so i did it myself, thx to arzbhatia for the icons!), i wanted more and tried to change the icon for wifi tether, as i do not like that white thing up there...

so i simply made a png of the pic i want to use, scaled it to the same format (65x65) and replaced it in the apk via 7zip.

but when i put the modified apk back to the system\app folder, i had a constant fc of systemui?!

is there any special treatment necessary on the png-files before putting them into an apk? as i used the given button icons before, i do not know how they were "constructed"...or is there any other mistake i may have made?!

mistakes i have NOT made: :D

- not set permissions before copying systemui.apk back to system\app folder

- extract and rezip apk for modding

thanks for any hint!

yours sincerely

[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
Hi all,

I have been facing a very high drain on my Inspire.

ROM:IceColdSandwich-8.1.AOKP

Kernel:2.6.35.14-LordmodUE-9.8.8-ICS-BFS

I even flashed KillerSLoth Scripthttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1305236 LordModUV-Lite

I tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226016&highlight=battery+calibration but still my stats doesn't look promising.

From 12:13 to 12:31 i.e., in 10min i face a battery drain of 20%. Is it expected behavior or i am just facing it.

BTW,In that 10min i was playing a game named Death Rally.:o

please see the attached file of my current widget log

can anyone please suggest me of how to gain good battery life.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks in advance!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
The battery just sucks on the inspire period. Sorry to say.

"I am the Bacon Pope"
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
Is there nothing I could do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
hey sandy well a game like that will pull battery life I play a game called zombie smash and it pulls battery fast just cause the game,and games in generally but I would say best way to test your battery is just not play a game for a couple hours or w.e and see what it does. For me with a similar rom and kernel at 100% I use pandora or google music to play my songs for about an hour or so and with in that hour I would check facebook,send a text or even check xda and with all that my battery would drain about 10% but thats a lot of activity to drain so its damn good and when I leave for work ill listen to music with google music and be at work for 8 hrs and with some texting and facebook battery drains maybe 5-7% by the end of my day with all that activities I would have about aprox 75%
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
But,even on Idle hours i.e., from 22:00 to 07:00 the drop is from 82 to 64%.At this time the phone is just active on data network,is this reasonable..18% drop in 8 idle hours?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
that's actually pretty decent. this phone has a very small battery in comparison to similar phones
[HTC Inspire 4G] girakshay:
Try [ROM][JULY 03][ICS 4.0.4] aospX 1.0.0-BR3 | IMM76L | Source | WIP

i had decent battery life with this ROM. i used to charge once a day.

Thanks,
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Game play will drain battery. Its normal, it be different if you were losing that without using phone. Also try latest IceCold 8.2. Also as mentioned above our batteries suck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
upgraded to IceColdSandwich - 8.2 - AOKP and played the same game again for 10min.Guess what?

This time the battery drain is just 4% ;)

Very pleased,

I think this is the problem with stability of rom's why coz i used to play this game from many days.It's only the other day that i had worst battery life.

May be while on Inspire i shouldn't complain about battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
I also observerd that,while charging my device after 81% it suddenly jumps to 100%.Is this natural or i am only facing this problem?

If you don't believe me,pls see the log file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
Same thing happened to me on another rom, from 94% to 100%. It is odd but the drainage seemed normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Keep in mind there will come a time the battery will stop working, it's called aging.

Sent from a dream
[HTC Inspire 4G] kingofnice:
I Had this Problem too (same rom)

I switched to Android Revolution HD. It has fixed the problem so far...later i will switch backk (maybe) to see if this fixed it.

usually you have to delete the old battery stats and go through a drain and charge cycle for a couple of days to fix it.

:eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] charger04:
What i did is i bought 2 extra batteries off amazon and i always have 2 fully charged. My system works out great because i pretty much have double battery life
[HTC Inspire 4G] kingofnice:
OK I'm on MIUI v4 now.

To fix your problem you have to go get a battery calibration app from Google play. Most of the apps will ring when you have really reached the actual 100% charge. Then press the calibrate button. Unplug. And done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sandy0594:
Flashed a brand new ROM(Sabsa Prime v6.0) with wiping every thing,even wiped battery stats.But nothing changed to be honest.My battery doesn't give 1 day backup also.BTW,I do lot of chatting on whatsapp,is it why my battery life is bad?

:(

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Irseq:
Hello, I got my Xperia P this week and also Im kinda noob with android phones, but here is a small question, how do i install recovery on my phone? Do I have to unlock my bootloader then install ROM manager? And what next? I heard i should enter the fastboot mode or something like that and flash my rom which already has recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usstemp:
whats the best android phone now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digibonez:
It's the Samsung S3. Have a look at the specs of the international version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tadeas482:
Actually, you cant say, that its the best. It is definitely one of the best of the best but there is not any best phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moon19th:
Yep, I think there is no best but better. Actually just personal experience!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Variable:
I think it's the HTC One X.

+1 the galaxy s3 is just too big! the build quality of the one x is pretty poor though... but I just don't like the look of the s3.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhla92:
i think u should buy a ss S3, it is best phone :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharonlewis:
Well even if my fav phone until now was HTC one X, i think S3 is a better phone, for now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidga:
Think its SGS3 for technic and all new Sony models for design. Hope anybody combine its all together - probably, HTC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
There will never be a best phone ever it just depends everyone's taste...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovenowner:
HTC One X and the recent Samsung Galaxy S3 are brilliant representatives of best android phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunt3r.j2:
The S3 is not the best, neither is the One X. To be honest, both are close enough that if the One X was under the Samsung label and the GS3 under the HTC label fanboys of both OEMs would be screaming to high heaven about how their OEM's phone is the better flagship...

Personally though, I prefer Sense enough that it would sway my decision towards HTC. Samsung may have the better spec, but HTC has the better software.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guru Zeb:
Yeah ... see the voice of rational, adult, maturity spoke right here ............. should have just locked the thread after this.

Wouldn't have had another page and half of mid teen fanboi BS to wad through that way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go_l_den:
My HTC Evo 4G will only boot into HBOOT and fastboot. When in either of these modes, only the power key is functional. I cannot use the volume keys to select options in these modes. Additionally, my computer will not recognize the device via USB. It simply does not respond and does not think there is a device connected to the computer. I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled drivers as well as tried multiple cables and computers.

If anyone has a solution for how I can salvage this phone, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
I second lkrasner. Any leak could potentially be beneficial, and we won't know until we check. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
http://115.com/file/c25msn57#fastbo...273930-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN-chn.tar.gz (hit the green button to download, it will be pretty slow)

It's an fxz (how they find these things I have no clue). Don't even think about flashing it though. If the international MB865 ICS leaks haven't helped us then I don't think this will be of any help either :\
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
So, since I'm essentially clueless on the actual coding and development aspects of this type of stuff - I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs and testing them out, been doing that for almost a decade now and still doing it between several devices (Axim X50v/X51v, HP iPAQs, Nexus S, Galaxy S, and now my Atrix 2) - but I don't understand what the actual problem is with this ROM with respect to the AT&T model of the Atrix 2.

I'm going to guess there's something going on with the Chinese/international leaked ROMs that will completely bork/hose/obliterate the AT&T model if I or anyone else attempts to install it, perhaps even permanently bricking it so...

Obviously I'm not about to try it myself, I'll leave that to the more talented folks around here already working on trying to get ICS for all of us. The Atrix 2 is such a damned nice device from the hardware perspective, and yes I'd love to get ICS on it (I know Motorola is working on it but as usual they're so tight-lipped about everything we're never going to know when it'll be available until it actually is, Cheesecake or not...), and now with having messed around with Jelly Bean on the Nexus S for a few hours - wasn't great but it was noticeably "butter" smooth as they're claiming - that gives me very high hopes that ICS will make an appearance on the Atrix 2 soon.

Come on, Motorola, if you can't get talented people to get this done, there's a bunch of people here on XDA that would do it practically for free just to get it done once and for all (not saying they wouldn't like to be compensated, obviously, maybe a free Droid RAZR MAXX or whatever for their efforts).

Yah, I know, Motorola could care less about this phone already, it's such a shame that this "disposable society" is what it is. Hell, I still use my Dell Axim X51v almost daily, and it's close to 7+ years old now, still running a custom Windows Mobile 6.5 from LennySH... I don't believe hardware is "useless" until the moment it actually doesn't work anymore, at all, totally hopelessly bricked or dead.

I'm impatient and I know it, so are most of you reading this. :)

If I thought a petition would help Motorola just skip ICS completely and jump right to Jelly Bean for the Atrix 2 I'd start one, but obviously that's just a waste of time. Sad we'll most likely never see Jelly Bean on the Atrix 2 officially 'cause it most certainly is a device that could manage it (minus a few aspects like NFC and whatever).

Bleh... just rambling, sorry. But I really would like to get some kind of basis for why the Chinese leaked ROMs are a no-no on the AT&T model, if anyone can spare a few minutes to explain, and be as thorough as you like as I'm all about details.

Thanks...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The ME865 (the Chinese version of the atrix2), has different hardware in it. There are also 3 slightly different versions of the MB865 (also the atrix2)... confused yet....

What it means is that the if you own a US AT&T version, you can not flash any of the international versions of the firmware, because there are slight hardware differences in all of the versions, and the AT&T US version has a whole different radio on top of the different wifi, gps, and GSM/GPRS/UMTA&S chipsets.
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
Well, that pretty much covers it. :)

I really do love this device, it's got an awesome form factor, feels fantastic in the hand, same screen size (diagonal) as my beloved HTC HD2 which I don't have anymore (but yes I'll get another one someday just 'cause it's the baddest portable device ever made for enthusiasts). Great cameras, there's really nothing to dislike about it so far, at least to me. Still on the lookout for a Lapdock as well (if my research has been accurate, I can use the original Atrix Lapdock with the Atrix 2 and a small mod of flipping the connectors on the Lapdock around - I hope I'm correct in that).

But ICS would definitely be nice to get, and soon. It's just a shame that Motorola Mobility is so far behind the curve with things. I had hoped that Google's acquisition of them might improve the situation but, with Google's announcement they were buying but leaving them alone to keep on doing what they've been doing, that basically nipped that hope right in the bud. :(

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

Well, if you really think this is an injustice and want to do something about it, vote with your wallet. Vote often, vote consistently, and tell all your friends. If you like having attorneys decide what you can buy and how much you will pay for it, then keep buying your iPhones, iPads, and all that other iSh%t. OTOH, if you think that Apple has abused the worlds courts, and is spending way too much time shopping around the world for a favorable court, then do everything possible in your little corner of the world to lessen Apples grip. It has to be done from the grass roots my friends, you do not have the budget to take on the Army Of Job's Minions on their own turf.
