[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
Not even close to the same thing considering how different the screens are. Multipliers are just for amoled as far as I can tell from lookong at the kernel sources. However I have looked into it and I'm seeing good things. I might be able to get a gamma control working or at least manually adjust the rgb.

I just need a tablet to test on lol.
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
I have two Nexus 7s, both get washed out when you go off center. If you are looking at it from any angle other than center, kiss those already washed out blacks goodbye. I dunno, maybe I am just so used to higher quality screens (I work with home audio/video) that I am more critical than most. Whatever the case, the screen on the N7 is more than acceptable for what we are paying for the thing and I'm happy as can be with it.
[Nexus 7 General] Arrch:
I own a Galaxy Nexus, and since y-day a Nexus 7 too, and I already feel like the text isn't as crisp as my GN, which is not really surprising reguarding their respective ppi.

Texts on the N7 seem somehow too thin and a bit blurry, and that's what annoys me the most !
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
You have defective screens or are suffering from the PRISM issue. My Nexus 7 shows no change in gamma and only loses a bit of brightness once past 60degrees off vertical.
[Nexus 7 General] kangxi:
I'm sitting outside right now. Viewing angles and display are great.

Like I've always said, if your device is doing weird stuff you shouldn't assume everyone's is the same.

Er, the reason the ipad 3 is considered a "retina" device is because they can get away with calling it that. "Retina" isn't a real standard, so apple can make up whatever threshold it wants.

I know I, for one, use tablets at a matching, if not closer distance than a phone. Holding it at 2 ft away is just nonsense.

[Nexus 7 General] nm8:
I was helping a colleague root his N7 at work, and another colleague came to watch us, he owns an ipad 2 and he said the resolution of the screen was better than his, I don't know if he was telling the truth or being sarcastic as I never look at any apply products !

Anyway, he said he wants to buy one... LOL
[Nexus 7 General] skyrocket727:
When i bought N7 i had Samsung Skyrocket. After playing with it first couple of hours i took out my phone to make a call and everything on screen looked so giant :eek: and old. A couple of days latter i switched to Nexus... Now everything looks ok :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Yeah the Nexus 7 has a higher resolution screen than the iPad 2.
[Nexus 7 General] Jark89:
I'm also an iPad 2 owner, and I can tell you, the Nexus 7's resolution blows the iPad 2's away. Despite the larger screen of the iPad 2, I find reading things quite a bit easier on the Nexus 7 even in portrait mode.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
Yeah. The resolution on the iPad 2 is pretty underwhelming. I never really had an issue with the 10 inch 1280x800 tablets but the iPad always looked very pixelated to me.
[Nexus 7 General] cheesemuffins:
Picking this up after using an S3 I was initially disappointed at the screen clarity on the N7. But I've come to realize that you get what you pay for and it is still quite nice. Playing around with the demo ipad 3 at stores does blow me away, and though... Too bad it's ios haha
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Without a doubt one of the best LCD screens with cinematic colors when watching movies unlike the artificial looking iPad3. AMOLED edges out all LCD's though with true black, vibrant colors and details in dark scenes such as in movies and games.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
This is how all IPS panels are. IPS generally has pretty bad black levels. The one x LCD is actually a VA matrix which has much better contrast and much much less off angle glow.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
If anything, I'm spoiled by the large screen size of the Nexus 7. My last android device was a SGT7. I can't use anything except 7" tablets with Android comfortably :/

First thing I said when my mom got her Galaxy Prevail was "this thing is small" :p
[Nexus 7 General] richB7:
Better screen? Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with super amoled.
[Nexus 7 General] mike5065:
IPS done right gets about 800 to 1000:1 usable contrast ratio. The PVA in my Dell 2408 gets a 1200:1 usable ratio. My PVA is better at blacks, in facts one of the best of the Vertical Aligned, but does not make IPS black levels look 'pretty bad'. Only OLED does.

But my PVA has pretty bad off-angle color shifting, to the point graphics professional don't use them; they use IPS, like my HP ZR30W, or the Dell series.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
I have both a 2408wfp s-pva panel and a u2410 H-IPS panel. The black levels on the va panel are more than just a little better. While there is a slight gamma shift off angle on the va panel it still is much more viewable off angle.

The left one is the IPS panel while the right one is the S-PVA panel. The contrast rapidly drops on the IPS panel off angle. The va panel on the other hand still looks pretty close to the original image even at such an extreme angle.

For the price point of this tablet though I am more than happy with the screen. I just wanted to set the record straight that for many uses PVA panels are superior. Almost all the high end pva panels have been discontinued because people were convinced that IPS was always superior. Their still are some cheaper via panels but nothing 2408wfp quality.
[Nexus 7 General] mike5065:
Thanks for the screens shot, good illustration. Small nit: best to compare at a similar angle, but this does show the ghosting on the IPS

My 2408 showed gamma shift watching from normal viewing angles (i.e. 90 degrees), at the sides (which is then 30 degrees). Meaning, I could trust color accuracy on the 2408 at the center but not so much at the edges, sitting at 18 inches, with normal ambient lighting.

They're both great technologies. When I upgraded to 30 inches, PVA was not an option, because these appeal to graphics professionals. And at that size, gamma shift would get pretty bad.

For a small screen, PVA would appeal more to me due to better blacks. But OLED will be in my next one.
[Nexus 7 General] scarcry:
Spoiled... already getting there but I wouldn't go as far to state not being able to use anything except for 7" tablets. I'm still perfectly happy with my Galaxy Nexus as well :)

[Nexus 7 General] Toast95135:
My EVO Lte has an IPS screen (super HD ++ IPS or something) and it's beautiful. The blacks aren't as black as my Epic's samoled (nothing will be) but it's pretty darn close, it's ridiculously sharp, colorful and the viewing angle is incredible. The images look like they're floating on the top of the screen. If only the N7 had the same screen... It would cost a lot more though...
[Nexus 7 General] Arrch:
I said on September that I felt like the texts on my N7 weren't crisp enough for me to be satisfied.

This changed with android 4.2, they made it way better
[Nexus 7 General] ziggo0:
I'd say spoiled. I've never had a 'nice' phone, currently the best one I've had is a HP Palm Pre Plus (WebOS) - not bad but not nearly as nice as most of the stuff out there. I just got a N7 yesterday, and my god - the screen is amazing. I wanna see the N10 now lol
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
The whole Nexus line up spoils people with resolutions, I mean, my god, look at that N10. That is almost double my monitor! Kinda makes me sad really, damn being poor. :D

I love my N7 too nothing ever looks bad on this screen. :)

Hi there just got a problem here. If u look at the screenshot of my phone there is a gap and I don't have any clue how do I get rid of it. It annoys me. Now here how did I get that, installed notification toggle app moved that to system/app to get some extra features however I found power control is more convenient that notification toggle app so moved that back to user/app and uninstalled that and I got that gap :( . There used to be a little icon of notification toggle. I would be so greatful if someone can help me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Leggir:
Using the stock Calculator program on the Note with ICS recently installed I've encountered an issue that I didn't have with the Gingerbread version (that I remember). The problem is this, do a simple calculation like 16/15= 1.066666666666 then hit another operand like X or + and you get a message at the bottom "Maximum number of digits is 5 after decimal point". The only way to continue to do your calculations is to delete a bunch of characters. This is most frustrating as every other calculator simply keeps allowing operands.

Some may say, well you can put in brackets to make the complete calculation, and that is true. However, if you are working along often times you won't have all the info neccesary to make a complete formula.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Use a dedicated calculator if you're doing something that requires that much math. Either that or get a different calculator app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Leggir:
That's pretty lame that the stock one can't do two subsequent mathematical functions that a Dollar-Store calculator can do. It's not like a tried 5/0x100, but 16/15*100 ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
I wanted to try this out because it looked interesting. On AOKP Milestone 6 I received the following results:

16/15x100= 106.666667

5/0x100=Infinity (hmmmm.....)

But yeah, if the calculator is something of importance, I would suggest what others have of getting a different app or possibly even a different rom. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I did the calculation as a single expression and got a correct result. Its the two step calculation that needs parenthesis to give the correct result.

Also 16●100÷15 gives a correct result.

It seems like division leading to a repeating decimal causes the message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Leggir:
Actually typing in 16/15x100= 106.666667 does work. My beef wasn't with that, however if your doing paperwork (I work out of my truck, so I use my phone as a calculator in a dash mounted holdster) and you do the first calculation of 16/15 and get the resultant 1.0666666666, right it down, then a minute later just go to multiply by 100 that's when you get the message. Yes I've had to switch to using another with a conversion program.

It seems stupid though that a $600 phone with the 4th version of linux droid can't do such a simple task. Tried it on a friends gingerbread phone and it worked fine. Also iphone calculator works fine with this.

Actually an iphone user would jeer, "Sure you can use a pen for taking notes, you have an HD screen, expandable memory, faster dual core cpus. But my calculator works fine."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Calculator?

There's an app for that. Who cares which icon you use to get it.

You can't download a big screen or a dual core cpu or a pen digitizer.

I just restored an EL29 Android and fired up the stock browser to do a Google search since I set Google.com as my homepage. It got changed to a different site that looked similar to Google but wasn't.

Here's the URL: http://www.searchmobileonline.com/?...cU/+R6ZgNtLMmERgufv7T8tW+hQ59tL0AKdBKwnCRZMWH

I just downloaded an antivirus app, I might do a second one just to make sure, and will run it once I finish with this post. I will Google the site to see if anyone else experienced this. I've never seen this before.

Edit: Ran Google search and some people were saying they got it from brightest flashlight. I did dl it and run it to see if I had and screen burn in (I did :-( ). I had already uninstalled the program before running the browser. At the bottom of the dev's page on g play, it said the app adds a search shortcut to your home screen and changes your default browser homepage. I couldn't recreate this behavior. If this is/was true, this is very uncool of the dev company. I didn't see it in the bottom of the description in the play market because there was a lot of text there. Reading the user agreement was kind of counter productive. What I mean is when you run the app for the first time, it turns on the camera led and brings up the EULA. You can't read it and turn off the led. So, read the EULA but shorten the lifespan of your camera led. Nice. I font know if that was the guilty app for me either. Scan turned up nothing but something inside the autoroot.zip file I downloaded and have on the card. Something about elf:looter-h (pub).

Hi, I have a newbie question about android

Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.

I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.

I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).

So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?

Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?

Thanks a lot in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohza:
Install more locale app from google play

From My GWonder
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mark.bramnik:
Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply

I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.

I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)

But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).

When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.

The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.

Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?

Some more details that can shed some light:

- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there

- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265

dpi@DELL137 #3

-Baseband version

I8150DXLC1

- Android version 2.3.6

-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)

Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones :)

Thanks a lot in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mark.bramnik:
Hi,

After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck :(

I tried all 3 methods I've found

here

but no one didn't really work

I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.

In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.

I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:

failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.

So any help will be appreciated here

Thanks

OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.

Thought someone can be interested...

I've used the first method and it didn't work.

I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.

So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).

Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" :) ) with Odin.

I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial

And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language :)

Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so

could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all? :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohza:
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all :)

I restored back to my ICS rom and all was well until I woke up the next morning. I can receive texts, receive/send calls but I cannot send texts. All of them failed. I tried flashing new, wiping and flashing new, reflashing modem, flashing to stock... The works. None of this fixed it. I have no idea what the problem is but I know it's not something I can live with.

1. Take out your sim card and insert it in a Non Smart phone

2. Go to message settings

3. Type in the SMSC no you got from your service provider

4. Change Send as TEXT if it is anything else.

5. Save. Remove the sim ans try in your phone
