When I was on stock ICS didn't have LTE but I did notice when on certain area I would go to it would switch to LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
correct LTE data is a based off of Network Map location you can find that on your Carriers webpage in most cases

Hey guys, can anyone recommend a good ebook reader that I can use to read downloaded books and PDFs?
[Nexus 7 General] ky0nkyon:
Moon reader is my new favorite. Have used aldiko and nook before.

My life for Aiur
[Nexus 7 General] cowcrapper:
Moon+ looks to be pretty good, what I'm wondering is if the pro version is worth forking over 5 bucks for?
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
Moon + pro its the only one that has both text to speech and can synch across devices (using dropbox). Its the only one I use. (Use calibre on your PC with dedrm plugins to convert to epub and you can buy books from anywhere.)

You just have to wait for the upcoming update, because the current version doesn't work with jelly bean. However the update should be released any time now, since the developer has a version that fixed the disappearing text in jelly bean. If you email the developer I'm sure he would send you a link. I would post it, but I'm not sure its OK with him. I think the free version doesn't have text to speech, otherwise it seems the same. When you upgrade, make sure to try it with ivona voice to read to you, all other voices are way too robotic. Ivona is good enough to use on long drives, out during mindless chores.
[Nexus 7 General] nvertigo:
Thanks for the tips, gonna check out Aldiko and Moon. Seems like Moon for jelly bean is out on market now!
[Nexus 7 General] upcboy:
I actually Like the Kindle App... But I'm a little Biased... I have a eInk kindle that I read on and all my books are stored on the amazon cloud (I just convert ePub to Mobi) also I love that my Spot in books is synced across my kindle iPhone and Nexus 7 (yes I have a little bit of everything)
[Nexus 7 General] zinfinion:
Mantano is my reader of choice at the moment. I was previously using Aldiko. Can't stand Kindle or Nook apps, margins are way too wide and pointless book titles at the top of every page.
[Nexus 7 General] mwalt2:
I think you may have just helped me decide what to spend some of the $25 on :). The dropbox sync alone is worth it. I've been using aldiko premium, but moon+ seems to have a lot more options.
[Nexus 7 General] nvertigo:
For anyone else looking for solutions,

i tried aldiko and moon and they were great but I had a ton of .mobi files from my OG kindle days and it seems like FB reader is the best one that supports the most formats.
[Nexus 7 General] phoneaddict13:
I noticed these programs do not have the page turner smooth animation like Google Play (Books) blue icon. Any app that has this smooth animation?
[Nexus 7 General] dakkie:
Is google books nice to? cant install it on my nexus one :)

is there a way to import books into google books?
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
Try GO Book reader. I have tried quite a few and found it to be the best. Aldiko is quite good too.
[Nexus 7 General] apope:
+1 on Go Book, this would be my e-reader of choice
[Nexus 7 General] Surfy89:
You can try Kindle, it has plenty of reading options and text spacing etc.
[Nexus 7 General] TylerDurben:
I tried allot of readers, and I'm using them often :)

So if you ask me, have a look at mantano reader!!!

Best Allroundtalent to read PDF and epub books.

Moonreader pro is my second reader but I only use it to read epub books.

Hint: try tts option within both readers and use ivona tts engine from playstore!!!

[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
I use Moon+ reader. It syncs settings and book positions with dropbox (has to be activated within the settings) which is great if you hop from one rom to another. I've been using it on my phone for months and love it.
[Nexus 7 General] arionfrost:
Moon Reader has page transitions. What's more, they are even better than Google Books' transitions, because they vary based on the direction of your swipe, and from what position, if you pull from the bottom right hand corner, the page "turns" from the bottom right hand corner.

Just dig around in the settings, the page animation is there.

Alkido or whatever it's called sucks. They haven't updated it since march, and all 7" tablets revert to phone interface, which makes the menu button inaccessible. They haven't released a fix for this, despite 2 very high quality 7" tablets being released in this timeframe (Gtab 2 7.0 and the Nexus 7).

I would refrain from buying Alkido until the fix this problem.

Moon Reader all the way.
[Nexus 7 General] Nizda1:
I've been using moon for awhile now too. You have several types of page turning animations if that your thing and in landscape you can set it up for dual pages like a regular book. Just play around with all the options there's tons. Since I have a kindle also dropbox is what really won me over so I can just convert everything or I even like the kindle app but more out of convenience, but since they've updated it alot lately you can mail yourself pdfs or other docs which will be converted for you and look perfect,which was a feature I missed from the actual kindle.
[Nexus 7 General] ctbear:
Any reader app out there (besides Moon) that supports syncing page positions? That's the only thing I miss from iBooks :(
[Nexus 7 General] TylerDurben:
Mantano Reader Pro?

Sent from my sweet little Blackbox
[Nexus 7 General] garryknight:
I notice that in the Play Store, the What's New section includes "Support fixed-layout EPUBs". That sounds like it finally supports non-Play books. Anyone know if that's true?

I've been using Moon+ for a long time now and IMO it's great.
[Nexus 7 General] Stresa:
Cool Reader has been my favorite reader for some time.

One things I really love about it is one of the background textures that come with as a default. It makes the screen look like a well aged paperback page and is really easy on the eyes.

This reader has a ton of customization features.
[Nexus 7 General] Troute:
Aldiko and iReader are my favourite readers, iReader can handle more file types.
[Nexus 7 General] Croak:
Not only that, but it supports Calibre/Stanza connections. I run Calibre as a server on my home PC with a DNS lookup service, and Moon+ Reader Pro can access my entire 5000+ ebook library over the air, fully searchable, with meta data, etc. It's like having my own bookstore. Just don't ask me where I got the epub files. :)

On top of that it keeps my reading positions synced up between various devices, which I have too many of. :) One X, Note, Tab 8.9, N7 are all in use to some degree or another. It even stores its preference to Dropbox, so if I install it on a new device, it grabs all my tweaks right away.
[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
I use Moon+ reader,. Within its settings, there is an option to backup your settings, as well as bookmarks and book positions to dropbox automatically. It is also VERY customizable and can read all formats including pics.
[Nexus 7 General] digivation:
Calibre connection sounds like a pretty sweet feature, along with Dropbox syncing!

Thanks for all these suggestions! I've used Aldiko for a long time (and have the premium version), but their feature set doesn't seem to be getting any better. Also, PDF support in Aldiko is kinda poor (zooming and page changes are slooow for big graphic heavy PDFs). Gonna try some of these lite versions and then throw a little play credit around ;)
[Nexus 7 General] southberm:
Does Moon+ support Mobi files? I have thousands from my Calibre+DeDRM
[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
I HAVE lots of non drm mobi books too! which app would read them the best??? converted them to mobi with calibre for my old fire.
[Nexus 7 General] evilssj4:
with moon+ reader how can I make it so that pages fit the whole screen? what I mean is that lets say the book cover and the next page are almost in the same view and I want each to have their own space? you know like when you have the book with you, you have to flip the page. Also I'm finding the real page animation flipping isnt smooth
[Nexus 7 General] TrevSo:
I'm using the second real page animation, and I upped the animation speed to 40. Seems to work much better when it's faster, feels a lot smoother.
[Nexus 7 General] evilssj4:
seems smoother now. I'm liking the animation on cool reader better now. Just the pages seem not aligned. If moon reader could show everything in one individual page then it would be awesome, I just haven't figured out how to.

edit: just how it looks in google play books, a page takes up the whole screen basically and i like that. i dont want a page and a half in the screeen
[Nexus 7 General] Moricon:
Question. Do and of these readers support books purchased from BN. I like the nook app but it really does not handle side loaded books well.
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
Look for a free windows app called Calibre. It can convert between ebook formats. There is a separate plugin available for it to remove drm. If you set this up, you can buy books from wherever you want, and read it on your choice of device or application.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nixrob9:
Is there some type of service where you can bring your phone in and they upgrade your Verizon GNex to 4.1? I live in the south Tampa Bay area. I am tired of being a pawn for Verizon to play with. Thanks. Having a nexus device has not been what I thought it would be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Just learn how to root and upgrade it yourself, that's 95% of the purpose of this phone IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nixrob9:
Thanks....But

I understand that is possible to do it. I would rather have someone walk me through it in front of me. People pay me for my expertise and I respect other people for theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
There's no service and 4.1 won't officially be ready for vzw gnex for months. There's plenty of well thought out and put together walkthroughs - even one click methods. Droid-life's guide is extremely easy to follow, as are several threads here. I'd recommend using a manual method though so you better understand what rooting and unlocking are actually doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
If you really aren't comfortable doing so...

My guide is a great start.

If you read through that and are still confused...

I can TeamView to your computer and get it done for you while you watch.

It'd have to be late at night..

I get off at 1:30 mountain standard.

Or the weekend at any time.

http://www.teamviewer.com/

Send me a PM if you like to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
You'd be better off OP finding someone on here to teamview you like it was suggested and getting you there that way if you want JB.

There is no service, as someone else also said, just people on CL who might offer to do it for you, but yet again, they might be amateur at best and charge you unnecessary amounts of money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I assure you I know what I'm doing.

And I've TeamViewed numerous people to help them root or "unbrick" their phones.

No charge...and I help you learn along the way.

Edit:

And we'll back up your applications and such along the way so you lose as little as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nixrob9:
Jubakuba, Where do I get your guide?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nixrob9:
Jubakuba, I have a mac at home, does that matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Guide is the exact same. Just use Terminal instead of Command Line and type "./" in front of all of the commands. For example:

./adb devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nixrob9:
still confused

I have read a TON of articles and none of them are written in a way i can truly understand what i am doing. I have a mac and want SIMPLE, STEP by STEP instructions. I cannot find it. In all examples there are assumptions the reader knows what they are talking about and lack of clarification on how the mac instructions are different from windows. If so many people can do it, why can't someone just layout the steps for doing it. The reason most people wait for the OTA is because it is not a straightforward process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Bro, nexii are easiest hassle free device to root.

Then again I don't argue with my friends giving me money. ^_^

They bring in there androids to me for upgrading and rooting.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
a)

The FEAR is making you weary. Don't be afraid to get your feet wet.

b)

As they've said...

./ before all commands = working for mac.

Again, I could TeamView you.

But I get the feeling you wouldn't be the type to learn anything...

Probably walk away and make yourself a cup of coffee while I work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AngryGibson:
I apologize for butting in but wow, that is extremely nice of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
I'm sure everyone here is trying to help you, but everything cannot be handed on a silver platter. It will take some work and leaving but the nexus is the easiest to root/customize. Like I said, droid-life is probably the easiest guide to follow, as straight forward as it gets. There's a reason there's no official service for what you want to do.

And the people i have access to across 5 continents

Makes a difference

I follow the.rules i make the rounds

And make one post about a beard contest and its instantly revoked

I promote this website to all of my fans

They know where i go and what i do

I post links to the nerdy ones

And so a little post asking to vote is too much??

Like they say the customer is always right

And when you piss off one.. the chainreaction is usually the downfall well i have atleast 50k at my disposal how many you got?

Well, it appears you do not follow the rules as your beard thread OP was deleted.

"And when you piss off one.. the chainreaction is usually the downfall well i have atleast 50k at my disposal how many you got?"

Is this a threat? Cause that would be against the rules as well. Looks like you're on a roll today.

Can't have the site traffic without devs.

I just want to say. This is a development thread, I completely understand rules being enforced here. This is XDA DEVELOPERS. I can understand policing here.

However in the general section, correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like each phone has their own community. The general section should be used as such. You don't police an area called GENERAL when it's discussion among people who share interests and help each other out. Sean started a beard thread, and guess what. No one complained, in fact we all supported it. If that's not a good judgement of what should be moderated, then I don't know what is.

Alright. Lets get a few things straight If all of you go to the skyrocket sub forum selection page you will see general with a description for what its meant for and I quote:

"Discussion about the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"

What this mean is the discussion has to be about Skyrocket related topics. Now There is a "Off Topic" thread in this forum that is meant to speak of just about anything unless said thing breaks a rule, example racist joke, selling something, etc. I locked Sean thread a reason which we've discussed and that's that. If sean has any problem I would hope and expect a PM from him and we can discuss the matter further if he so chooses to. I honestly don't know as to why he pulled the rom that's something you can ask him in his rom thread or PM.

I will be locking this thread as its pure nonsense and 90% of it is just flaming. And advising all you to not make any more of these threads as I will consider Spam/trolling in any subforum. I would like to ask all of you that if you have a problem with me or any mod please send us a PM before cluttering more the forums. Just better that way.

prbassplayer has done nothing that any other moderator wouldn't have done. He's cleaned up the crap that others seem intent of cluttering the forums with. Which included the afore mentioned dev. An RD of all things. I would expect better from an RD, but meh, what do I know :rolleyes:

Even AFTER warnings from the mod, he continued to post crap not even remotely related to anything to do with this forum. This isn't a music/band forum. Use the Off Topic forum for posting things that no one cares about.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
As you know, we've a few phone shops. From small stores to high street retailers.

Basically, under Irish consumer law you are entitled to a new item if it takes more than one 28 days to get replaced- one of your three consumer rights. If your Sony Xperia S is getting sent back to get investigated, it can take that time, or longer, to get dealt with.

My advice is that if you're in Ireland, with a friendly tone and some consumer knowledge you can get it swapped for a newly manufacturered model there and then.

As a former law student, sales and retail expert and mobile enthusiast, I'm sharing my knowledge with you. Contact the Consumer Association for details.

Sure, who wants to wait over a month for a phone they paid several hundred euro for?

:)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
If only!

You do need to play the cards correctly to get what you want.

Most shops have their own policies, but consumer law always overrides them.

We've a right to one of the three R's:

- Repair

- Replacement or

- Refund.

It's probably one of the only good things that Ireland does right, but that's another story! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] defsix:
But don't forget you do have to give them a chance to repair the device first, before it is replaced!
