[HTC Wildfire S] parasthakur37:
Sometimes what happens is.

I open the phone app and voila xD no contacts to be seen. NO FREAKING CONTACTS and then I have to restart the device to see them again..

But sometimes when I open the phone app, they aren't there, but they come after like 30-40 sec.

This is really troubling me because at times, it's very urgent to call someone, and it behaves like that.

If you find any cure, temme! :)

Thanks

Paras.
[HTC Wildfire S] ekim1:
You sure they'r not there. It takes some time to sync contacts from google account. At my 3G connection it takes about 2 mins to sync 600-700 of them.

If you don't see them try restarting your internet connection (disable, activate) and observe number of contacts in upper right corner of contacts app.
[HTC Wildfire S] butilities:
What I did was force close the app contact and then clear dat.. then sync back the contact(mine manually from hotmail exchange) and it works
[HTC Wildfire S] parasthakur37:
If it's gon' take two minutes for my mobile to just show the contacts, then what's the point in even using it? -.-
[HTC Wildfire S] codegeek:
just out of curiosity, did you do anything to get link2sd to work? I tried using it on my install of CM9, and it periodically ate my 2nd partition. My SD card wouldn't even mount anymore.
[HTC Wildfire S] ekim1:
Ext3

I made EXT3 partition through PC slot for sd cards, and it works since then. Just like that.
[HTC Wildfire S] ekim1:
Contacts lost after flashing again

Disaster came again. Flashing made no difference.

If there's someone who could analize logcat ... be my guest :)

Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] parasthakur37:
I think, the data2sd conflicts with the contacts. (just a thought) ..... anyways, you find a cure, you pm me. :)

[Motorola Atrix HD] biggboii:
Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mqguitar:
I had this issue and resolved it disabling the att wifi app
[Motorola Atrix HD] biggboii:
I'd deleted that already and I still have the issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hotrod010:
att hotspot app

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:
[Motorola Atrix HD] WashMD:
Wi-Fi problem

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.

Try doing factory reset....
[Motorola Atrix HD] biggboii:
Factory reset performed.. issue still exists. Maybe my 2nd AHD will be better.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mikeyinid:
I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mqguitar:
Same thing happened to me till I disabled att wifi app plus a few other. Then rebooted. It is annoying though :-\
[Motorola Atrix HD] mikeyinid:
That's the first thing I did. Makes no difference
[Motorola Atrix HD] mikeyinid:
Hmm. Switching wifi frequency from auto to 2.4 only seems to have fixed it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mqguitar:
Hmm that is quite interesting
[Motorola Atrix HD] mikeyinid:
Yea it does seem to have fixed it. I can go all the way out to my truck and not have wifi disconnect. Now I just need spotify to work :confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] Equipotential:
I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mikeyinid:
I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] anthromatt:
I had this problem with the Atrix 2. Resetting my router solved the problem.
[Motorola Atrix HD] boufa:
Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.

Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.
[Motorola Atrix HD] RobAndroid:
I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.
[Motorola Atrix HD] %appdata%:
Disable AT&T Smart Wifi.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Equipotential:
I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] RobAndroid:
I did have AT&T Smart Wifi disabled too.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Still dropping wifi signal like flies to a bugzapper.
[Motorola Atrix HD] WashMD:
Wi-fi issues

Looks like most of you have wifi problems... I am on my 3rd phone. I had wi-fi, ATT signal and GPS problems. I still have GPS signal problem. Has any one call Motorola support about these problems? i have contacted them and when i told them about the wi-fi issues , they told me they haven't heard about wifi issues. It seems like they want to fix these problems, so please call them if you have any problem with this phone. If more people call Motorola, faster they will have a fix... so please call them for any and all problems.

Phone number is 1-800-734-5870 and ask for level 2 representative.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Mondingo:
How do you get it to say disable under apps and settings? Mine just shows nothing. But I did force stop and uninstall updates..Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
My only suggestion is to keep having it replaced. A few phones came out with bad radio chipsets.

Also if you use a router that came out as first generation Wireless-N it'll sometimes have Wifi issues.

My Linksys Wireless-N was having issues, I replaced it with a Cheap $40 Wireless N router and I havent had any problems since.

From my experience cell phones never really had a good power ratio for the Wifi antenna, and especially if you have a router with an internal antenna, you'll hardly get reception.

[Nexus 7 General] AndroidInsanity:
So this is the reason I've seen so many iPad users think or actually get the nexus 7 to replace their iPad!! Cheers dude, and yeah slightly better audio.
[Nexus 7 General] Wololo7:
Nexus 7 has a quad core CPU and a 12 core GPU. VS iPad's dualcore CPU and GPU, but iPad has line-out for audiophiles with external DAC's
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
hey mate have you seen any CPU benchmarks comparing the ipad to the nexus
[Nexus 7 General] AndroidInsanity:
Benchmarks are interesting but useless, try running IOS with nvidia tegra 3 the results would be different. Don't quote me but I think the reason android score less sometimes is because of the OS itself
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
I wouldn't say the iPad3 front facing camera is actually any better.

The only test that I have seen that compared them was fatally flawed because it failed to do a Android -> Android Google Talk chat, instead bizarrely opting for a Ipad -> Android cross platform, cross protocol chat...

Shouldn't the price be up there? You can buy 2x Nexus7's for the price of 1 iPad.... Also when comparing tablet apps, the Android tablet apps tend to be as good, if not better than iPad tablet apps. There aren't as many (currently) however.

You can also add:

Cheaper / Easier to develop on Android ($25 one off fee Mac/Win/Linux/Onboard dev enviroments, VS $100 a year for iOS and you have to buy a Mac)

USB Host mode and MTP transfers (drag and drop content - No iTunes tiein)

WAY better bundled apps (Google Maps for example)

Wireless app installs (don't think Apple has this)

LEGAL sideloading without having to jailbreak and void warranty.,

Custom ROMS
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
Does the Nexus 7 have DLNA

Yea its strange even tho the nexus has higher mb for the camera the ipads seems better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRS7YaJIEsw&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL54999AB91D35C39F
[Nexus 7 General] Torisen:
Seems like an ok list except for the "Premium Feel" and "Better Audio". I got rid of my iPad 3 for the Nexus 7 and to me the Nexus 7 feels way better than the iPad 3 (AKA "New"). Audio, to me at least, is better on the Nexus 7.

I can definitely say I enjoy the Nexus 7 more than the iPad 3, it's so much more fun.
[Nexus 7 General] OneDeep:
Op said something about the Nexus keyboard apps but on both devices can a Bluetooth keyboard work?
[Nexus 7 General] micks_address:
i did a google chat with my friend side by side and i thought the video he was seeing from my nexus 7 was actually very decent..

i know it seems obvious to compare it to the ipad but the size difference alone makes it quite difficult.. its like comparing apples to.... :)
[Nexus 7 General] cHarOn99:
i think the video quality sucks only when you use Skype for Video Call, since the Nexus 7 is not certified by Skype :(
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Nexus 7, no need to load the iTunes malware package.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] pjohnson87:
To me it seemed like battery life was better on my iPad, but my nexus 7 charges ALOT faster.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Remove 'better viewing angle' from iPad3. Brightness falls off significantly on the iPad3 if not directly centered in front. IMHO, Nexus 7 has better viewing angle.
[Nexus 7 General] pjohnson87:
You can add usb controller support and play store access for the nexus 7. Since I had an android phone, that was a big reason i switched to the nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] barmanham:
Don't forget to add the most important feature the movable left screen *sarcasm* this third unit better be good
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
does the wifi ipad 3 have a GPS
[Nexus 7 General] 31Cats:
iPad gestures are very cool, and I love using them. However, I just installed GMD Gesture Control and they work even better on the N7. Plus, you can customize them in any way you want! Best $5 I've spent on the play store.

I think the new iPad wins for full-size PDF, gaming, basic browsing, and draining your credit card. For everything else, there's the nexus 7 :). I seriously love this thing!
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
My iPad 3 looks perfect from any angle without fading. However I'd also removing this as a pro because I think the Nexus 7 looks just as good at angles. Both are IPS displays, so viewing angles really shouldn't be an issue.
[Nexus 7 General] 31Cats:
And by gaming, I mean overall selection. The size and feel in your hands is far superior for gaming on the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] deaglecat:
Nope you need the 3G version for that.
[Nexus 7 General] Archbob:
The real killer is the price point. Based on looks, the Ipad looks better but performance wise the Nexus 7 is great and its half the price(or less here in the US). Maybe this well force apple to stop overpricing their tablets so much.
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
Uh, you need an asterisk by the usb mass storage, as that required rooting, which most nexuses are anyway, but should be made clear to the uninitiated.

-Ara
[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
No, most Nexus users aren't rooted. Especially since the Nexus 7 requires a data wipe in order to root.
[Nexus 7 General] JaZart:
You should remove like things like widgets, live wp,more open, free apps etc,and just say better OS; Android > iOS
[Nexus 7 General] jarjar124:
Isn't the iPad faster in charging? I'm not sure though since I never compared the difference in speed.
[Nexus 7 General] spencer88:
Not the 3rd Gen iPad. It takes forever due to the bigger battery.
[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
I was bored this weekend so I decided to do a side by side test of both loading the same apps. In almost every instance the nexus 7 loaded quicker, but it wasn't more then just a hair. Both are damn quick though
[Nexus 7 General] mike infinity:
N7

-customizations on ui for android sums a lot of it up.

Google now with voice control vs no siri (yet) for ipad plus integration of gapps

-heft of iPad 3

-heat of iPad 3

-form factor hits the sweet spot

IPad 3

screen DPI and contrast/saturation

Apps like garage band, etc.

App support by third parties is better as they update apps for tablet/retina quickly for key apps.

I own both...I usually reach for the N7.

What if Apple makes a mini?

Then it will be down to the differences mentioned already for android vs iOS. However I don't see the business model for apple. The iPod touch is still more expensive than the N7. I doubt apple can compete on price without major hit to its bottom line.

I'll say this...apple used to be the innovator and not the litigator. Now they look like they are playing catch up.
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
Okay i added no heating for the Nexus and removed better gestures because of the app you can get that gets you gestures, So the Nexus 7 doesn't have mass storage without rooting? i dont want to compare the hacking seen just out of the box
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
hmm im leaving looks/design out of this because its very subjective and im always hesitant to give it to apple products even tho they look nice the overall design of their products don't change and they get stale, while every other company comes out with new deigns and keep it fresh
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
IPad doesn't have better front camera at all.

0.3mp whereas our Nexus 7 has 1.2mp
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
In Android you can attach files to emails and get amazing and easy access to network file shares with a free app(s).

In iOS there is like one app that gives access to file shares and it sucks...trust me, I bought it...
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:

[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
My camera seems to work much better. I Skype all the time with my wife on her iPad 2. She is a flight attendant, so we talk this way often. Camera is great. No over/under exposure at all.
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
yea so what do you think of that video ? i cant find any reviews comparing the camera except that vid
[Nexus 7 General] ky0nkyon:
I thought jelly bean can manually remove notification ads.

My life for Aiur
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
hmm i think your right I just had a look on other nexus 7 ipad 3 front camera tests and the the nexus seems to be better quality, i dont know why it looks so bad in that review, but the ipad has better audio recording
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
If I wasn't so ugly I would make a video for you. My wife looks like a model though. Maybe I can talk her into it...
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Yes you can do it in app info screen.
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
Which one is better for web browsing?
[Nexus 7 General] DrHenley:
You might as well do a Cadillac Escalade vs. Ford Mustang comparison.

If you what you really want is a huge Cadillac SUV, you are going to find all sorts of things NOT to like in a Mustang, and vice versa.

Like, "Third row seating is sadly lacking in the Mustang"

Or, "Cornering in the Escalade seemed sluggish."

Well, DUH|!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
Does anyone know anything about the Audio, is the Ipad 3 slightly louder audio?
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
So you would give the edge to audio for the ipad
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Yes, iPad audio is way better
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Slightly? It is night and day difference as far as level of sound is concerned. Overall iPad has better audio as well.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
IPad is better for web browsing because of bigger screen and aspect ratio to cover more of website and you can read even very small text without zoom or putting strain on your eyes.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
I totally agree.
[Nexus 7 General] jrpbulk:
Cool stuff but keep in mind the ipad mini will be out in sep oct
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Don't go for specs rather go for practical difference and problem is skype is not optimized for nexus 7 camera properly so this is why you see bad camera quality on Skype when compared with iPad 3. However there is nothing wrong with Nexus 7 camera. I laugh at people complaining about lack of back camera on a tablet. I never took any photo from my iPad 3 back camera until I saw people complaining about lack of back camera in Nexus 7. I saw how awkward and non practical it is to take photos with tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
Well, Cyprus, that's a pretty big part of the Android scene, and besides, it's not that hard to unlock and root, there's even a kit out to make it essentially five clicks (for PC users):

1. Backup

2. Unlock Bootloader

3. Flash CWM (if desired)

4. Root

5. Restore data

-Ara
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
It will? Where did you see the press release about that? Specs? Announcement from Apple? Any links to OFFICIAL sources?
[Nexus 7 General] barondebxl:
How about speed, smoothness in scrolling, rendering webpages etc...?
[Nexus 7 General] cyprusx:
ipads pretty smooth also, do you have a link to shows that the nexus is faster at web browsing?
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
The jelly bean is very smooth as compared to ice cream sandwich or Prius android OS but it still lags when it comes to web browser. Although the chrome on Nexus 7 is much faster in fetching pages as compared to safari on my iPad 3 but the scroll and zoom smoothness is still better on iPad 3. The rubber band scrolling on iPad 3 is unmatched. Let me put this way:

speed and rendering webpages:

Chrome on Nexus 7 is better. I was surprised how fast it was when compared to safari.

Smoothness and scrolling:

iPad 3 is better.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Yes but it would be cheaper form of iPad 3 which I already own and iPad mini would not have tegra 3 processor with android jelly bean OS so not capable of playing cool tegra 3 games. This is why I bought this tablet. Why would I need a cheaper form of iPad 3 when I already own a big brother called iPad 3. As rumored if iPad mini has 7.85 inch screen then it would further spoil the party because 7 inch is the form factor what people are after not some 8 inch tablet with 4:3 aspect ratio.

Also it won't cost 199 which is the price of cheap and pathetic iPod touch. My son has iPod touch latest one which lags alot and have miniature screen. I think this iPod touch should be called iPod nano or shuffle or whatever they call the smallest one of the lot.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Not so true for every app. Majority of the games are loaded faster by iPad 3 as compared to Nexus 7. I only found dead trigger being load faster on nexus 7 than on iPad 3.
[Nexus 7 General] r0zj0k3r:
Aside from being a good time waster, I think these arguments are pointless. I don't own an ipad but these tablets aren't in the same ballpark. Just look at the price range and the features list, that alone completely separates these two tablets.

There aren't any real comparisons between the Kindle fire and the ipad, because they aren't meant to be direct competition. Google knows that Apple owns the tablet market and will be able to create a spot for itself in the tablet market by bullying(used very loosely here) around smaller companies like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. That being said, Google has put out an great product but really needs to learn a lot from this experience; they did a lot wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] ian1:
Uhh actually the iPad gpu is more powerful than the tegra gpu and since games are more gpu based than CPU based the iPad has the upper hand.
[Nexus 7 General] iamfightaa:
Are you sure about that ?
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
12Core GPU is better than a QuadCore GPU
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:


That depends:

1) does the given app or video operation utilize all 12 GPUs, can it take advantage of the parallelism?

2) how fast is each GPU is operating at, GPU speed may be different than CPU speed, I don't know

3) efficiency of each GPU, meaning if it takes the 12 core GPU 20 clock cycles to complete a given operation while the quad core only takes 2 clock cycles, if both processors operate at the same speed, I'd rather the quad core GPU
[Nexus 7 General] tameracingdriver:
The fact that a £160 - £200 tablet can even be compared at all to a £400 - £700 tablet speaks volumes about how good the Nexus 7 is.

Is it better than an iPad 3? No.

Will some people prefer it? Of course. I do. Why? Because I prefer the form factor, its just as quick, and it isn't Apple (who I despise) or iOS (which I'm not really keen on in many respects).

That doesn't mean to say I don't see the advantages of the iPad though - bigger screen (not really an advantage to me personally), better image quality (surely there can be no argument there?). More and better quality of apps (again can we really argue against this), camera etc.

However, any tablet is just a toy really, a device designed to surf the web, read books, look at pictures, watch TV or movies, listen to music. Therefore, a £400+ machine would be too much for me. If I need to do proper work, I have a proper computer. So for me, the Nexus is as much a device as I need. The fact that it can give as pleasurable an experience as it does is impressive.
[Nexus 7 General] mike infinity:
I read that browsermark and sun spider were better on tegra . CPU and memory score higher as well. GPU wins for iPad though.

I would say that in my experience both devices are pretty much par for ui/browsing smoothness. Project butter really shows in jelly bean. ICS was no match for iPad on my prime. With jelleybean, the smoothness works even with animated wallpaper.
