[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HyoImowano:
I prefer to run my phone with a density of about 220, but with any Samsung based ROM the dialer and contacts app just force close. AOSP based ROMs like CM9, and AOKP ROMs deal with it fine. Any insight into why this happens or a way to get the dialer and contacts working at a 220 density with a Samsung based ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
You would have to rewrite each app to handle the different dpi settings. Alot of issues come from messing with the dpi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] celkin:
Depends on what yer doing app wise. When running stock overclocked i was runnin at 160 with no problem at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
You may also try 213 or 240, I use 213 as it is tablet mode. I have seen other using 240.

Either way you may have apps that do not cooperate well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HyoImowano:
I'll try some of these other specific DPI settings. I've always known I would have some app issues messing it, but dialer and contacts are pretty much necessities, so I'm stuck with AOSP ROMs unless I can sort this out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
240 should work alright..That is hdpi resolution...the standard before the galaxy nexus came out.

Now it's 320 "xhdpi"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lolanerd:
So I got a new galaxy nexus today and it comes with the $50 prepaid card in google wallet. I haven't activated google wallet yet. I'm planning on rooting the phone, getting jb roms and all that stuff but I was wondering if I'll still be able to redeem the google wallet money if I root, rom, etc. Also, if I activate google wallet beforehand, will the money stay after I've rooted my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yes and yes!!!!

But just to be really safe. Activate Google waller before you root.

You will for sure be able to keep the $50.

I know you will be able to get Ur $50 afterwards if you activate it because I activated my Google while rooted and got my $10.

Just to be safe, activate it before hand.

But you should have nothing to worry about. :D

Hey I got my gnex and activated Google wallet and it didn't give me my ten is there a fix? Or am I out of luck? Stock jb

It was a limited time only for the $10 deal sorry.

That was to help Google promote Google Wallet.

Remember to reset the Google Wallet app from within the app if you are going to switch ROM.

Failure to do so may result in a bricked Secure Element.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zeddicus0:
how am i supposed to post 10 posts? it will just be spam then..

i mean all i wanted to post was a thank u for my rom developer (krarvind, slim bean rocks) and ask about new features etc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rquiett:
Spamming ten posts isn't a great idea. Try and post something meaningful and maybe try and help some others in the Q&A threads.

Rom development threads aren't really the place to post a thank you, that's why there is a thanks button. Also feature requests probably would be better suited in the Q&A thread for that rom. If it doesn't have one already maybe one can be started.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CRimsonEagle:
Same problem.

I am also having a problem posting on development related threads. I am having a problem and cannot let anyone know. I already have 11 posts, why am I still getting the same message that I cannot post? Any help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andy214:
I agree that the ten posts thing is ridiculous. I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve a problem, and I found a thread which discussed a possible solution to that problem, but was having some difficulty with it working, and wanted to post the specifics of my problem and how they related to the solution presented to see if it was reasonable to think the solution might work. Instead, I am treated to a condescending message telling me, in effect to take a hike (to put it politely). I don't have time to come up with ten meaningful contributions before I get help solving the problem I am having - heck, I wasn't even sure from the message where I was even supposed to post such messages, since it said I can't post to "development-related forums" - what else is there on a site called xda-developers, anyway? I only found this thread using google to search for this whole ten posts nonsense.

And then, some of the responses by certain moderators seemed down-right rude, for instance one post complaining about how they wanted to thank the author for a post and report some minor issues was countered by a moderator who apparently didn't even read that part and closed the thread, declaring that their post had proved the need for the rule, as the person obviously hadn't learned "how to search" which doesn't even make sense consider the original poster already implied they HAD since otherwise how would you thank someone for something they found helpful and contribute findings on it?

Anyway, the best I could do was to send a private message to the most recent poster who appeared to be knowledgeable about the topic and hope for a reply. They were not the original poster, nor were they one of several other people knowledgable who had previously posted; this is thus a sub-optimal solution. Furthermore, any replies directly to me won't be shared with the world, meaning it won't help anyone with the same problem as me.

And you expect me to contribute in the future after treating me this way?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reinbeau:
Thread closed

The ten post rule is to fight spammers and people who don't search cluttering up development threads with support questions. It's not hard to get ten meaningful posts. I understand frustrations when you're trying to figure out a problem, you've done the best which is ask someone knowledgeable for help, but the rule is in place for a reason.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Exactly what the title says. I went to reboot for the first time after rooting ICS on my phone. For a brief second clockwork recovery flashed on screen. Then I got a blank backlit screen for about 5 seconds. It then flashed the loading ring with the arrow and the clockwork hat. Then it rebooted right back in normally. Weird. Call BS all you want, I swear this to be true.

Sent from my LT28at

EDIT: I am able to reproduce this!! To do so, do the following:

Force restart your phone by holding Power + Volume Up. Once it vibrates, let go of the power button, but continue to hold Volume UP. Once SONY appears on screen, press and hold it, while still holding the Volume UP button. It "should" now appear.

The CAMERA button acts as the OK button in this recovery.

NOTICE!!! - What you do is your own risk, my phone wont keep it on screen for more than 90 seconds.

Thanks to: ganeshbiyer for informing me about pressing the sony logo on screen
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
It is the part of rooting toolkit.

Keep pressing the Sony Logo while booting to access the recovery.

First time it is seen and then goes blank, press vol down to display it.

But nothing works.:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
I wasn't able to access recovery by simply pressing the SONY logo. The only way I was able was in conjunction with the Volume UP button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
The CAMERA button is your OK button in this recovery. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Also,

Menu button ... moves the cursor down

Home Button .... Ok

And,

We have to keep tapping SONY logo while booting. I got recovery that way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
All this is super exciting. Its all happening so fast now :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Yea, the bad thing is that since it was designed for Xperia S and not the Ion you cannot back up yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Anyone messaged doomlord to see if he's willing to try making cwm for ion now that we have legit ICS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Not sure where he is located, but if he is within 100 miles of me, I'll take him my phone for testing/dev.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Anyone try making the CWM folders on the SDCARD and see if CWM will work then? I would try but I forget what the folder names are suppose to be.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vladvertigo:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Welp i PMed doomlord hopefully he gets it and reads it. His profile mentions he might ignore it. Hes done kernels for x10 and xperia s and my beloved htc flyer. I guess the community donated him a xperia S ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
I have also pmed DooMLorD.

He ignores most of the time, so I have requested in his thread too and a few other recovery threads. :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
I messaged him when the Ion was released. Here was his response.
[myTouch 4G General] whojohnjones:
my back and genius buttons onmy mytouch are smashed in:( i cant really do toomuch with the phone because the back button almost always funtioning back. do i have any choices?
[myTouch 4G General] tanner195:
My back button got stuck but I just hit it really hard against my hand like 50 times and it became unstuck lol u could try that
[myTouch 4G General] crawler9:
Check out ButtonRemapper. I've never used it, so I don't know if it includes the functionality to allow you to disable hardware button functions altogether, but if so, this might be what you're looking for.

Then, you could resort to something such as ButtonSavior to add software buttons.

edit: I tried out ButtonRemapper, and unfortunately, it doesn't allow disabling buttons completely, or if it does, I'm not seeing how. Sorry, I tried. =( Good luck finding a solution that will work for you.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Try adapting this method to our phone. You will want to make a backup first. Also, it's likely that you'll need to pull the file from the ROM's zip, edit it on a computer, and push it with adb.

Having a stuck Back button must be pretty disabling...

[Asus Transformer TF700] into_311:
I have been on the market for an Android 10 inch tablet for close to a year. I have watching several of the devices that have come on the market there. I like the iPad for some things but I hate the proprietary nature and many other numerous issues to list.

Back to my original question though :)

I have been following reviews online and this is probably the 3rd or 4th time that I have seen reviews on Amazon.com or other sites that the ASUS TF700 has some "build quality issues" they have pointed out problems with the tablet making a squeaky noise when pressing on the glass in some areas and it appearing that the "glue is coming loose". I wanted to say that if I'm spending $500+ on a device. I want it to work, and work well, and not have to replace it in a year or less.

Another comment I have seen is that its sluggish when doing "heavy multitasking". I plan to do quite a bit of multitasking on it and wondered what other user's experiences are. I have read that ASUS will release the Jelly Bean update to this device and I would expect that this may help with some of that.

One of the reasons that I'm certainly considering going with the ASUS over the other tablets is that I prefer ASUS devices on other platforms. I have an ASUS laptop that originally came with Windows Vista (that tells you how dated it is). It's probably 4-5 years old at this point and it's still working off the original AC adapter, original battery and it still works flawlessly. I have owned several ASUS motherboards that work perfectly and last.

I wanted your opinions, since you guys are the Android tablet guru's and I've read some of the other posts. Even the one about the squeakiness by the speaker. But I' m wondering if this is a common issue or one to be concerned about.

One last thing is that I noticed there is an Atmel stylus that might be compatible with it. Has anyone purchased and used one yet? If so, what do you think about it? I'm seriously considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 as well because of this stylus capability and the 2GB of ram in there. Money is not that much of a problem since I will be using gift cards (like up to $700 worth) to buy it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, Asus definitely has some quality-control issues, but if you do get a "bad" one, you can always just return it for another. Personally, my TF700 is fine - some minor light bleed on the bottom and right sides, but it's only noticeable at full brightness, which I'll never use anyway. I don't have the clicking/squeaking noise either. I truly believe that most of these issues are very minor and most folks wouldn't even notice them if they weren't looking for them.

Don't let this hold you back from an awesome tablet - that's why they make warranties! My original TF101 is still running great (hardware-wise, at least - ICS is another story!) - never had any hardware issues with it and my wife still uses it daily.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rightonred:
I'm surprised. From what I see here, I think I got one of the nicer tablets. My screen has no obvious light bleeds, no dust trapped under the glass, or scratches. The display is bonded firmly and doesn't squeak. I guess it may be potluck with the build quality, but mine is built well.

Like jtrosky said, if you get a bad one, you can exchange it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
First one had dust under screen.

Second had huge bright white crater-like defect in center of screen. Really bad defect - can't understand how that passed quality control.

Third one is perfect....so far....
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Asus should stay with what they do best..build computers. They sucks with pad, problems after problems. The TF700 is not ready for prime time. They did the 201 and still making too many mistake with the 700. I can named many like, USB,SB card, I/O bottle neck, phone jack volume, noise when pressed on glass, not fitting well with dock..and on and on. I would wait for Samsung Note 10.1.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
But then what would be the alternative: Acer? Apple? Samsung where you're stuck on the same firmware forever?

I think the problem is the separation of design and production these days. These tablets are made by faceless Chinese workers, and then shipped over here. Its not like it used to be where the factory workers and the manufacturer and quality control were all in one place. In fact, do we even know if ASUS ever even sees the tablets after they leave the factory and get shipped to the warehouse?

You should be honored. You're now an ASUS employee - we get to inspect the tablets and return the defective ones - we're quality control technicians!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Asus sold the product, they're 100% responsible for their product, doesn't matter how/where they were made. I payed Asus with my own hard working money and I do have the right to complaint when the product is not working as advertise. I will be glad to contribute my free time to test for them for free if they allowed me to have the product for FREE.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
That sounds nice. But you have to vote with your wallet. And the public already has. People want cheap stuff. The Chinese make cheap stuff. So regardless of weather ASUS is responsible or not, if people continue to buy it, why would ASUS have any reason to change? The days of real premium quality merchandise are over.

Every product on the face of the planet is now made in one place. We chose to abandon our factories and manufacturing facilities. So cheap lower quality stuff is now the norm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I believe that he was just being sarcastic with that last statement! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] nothsa:
I was in the same boat as you, waiting for a 10" tablet that I thought fit my needs and was worth the premium we pay for tablet devices.

I was concerned about quality as well. I kept seeing all kinds of stories on the forums (loose glass, dust, light bleed, etc). I ordered from Amazon knowing that it would be easy to return if there was a problem, but mine is just fine and fortunately has none of the problems that some other people have had.

Re: multitasking - I do a lot of multitasking. I usually have it on "balanced" mode and it's super smooth. It slows down a very little bit when I'm updating 2+ apps simultaneously, and the odd occasion where I'm running multiple CPU-intensive apps, but I just switch to "performance" mode for that short period of time and it's back to being snappy.

If you get a bad one, just return it immediately and get a new one. I'm loving this tablet =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] into_311:
Thanks, I appreciate your input. I think I may end up going with it. We'll see...The samsung note 10.1 doesn't even disclose how much it will cost yet. I'm worried that even $700 may not be enough. I have heard some rumors of around $750. Plus, I don't know how much I would honestly use the Stylus. It would be a fun toy, but not practical for day to day use for me most likely. I'm so used to using touch interfaces all my other android tablet devices and a prior iPhone now anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cmscritic:
Keep in mind as well that it'd usually not the happy people that write or speak out. Its often the dissatisfied. There are plenty of happy and satisfied users out there as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] into_311:
Got my T700 a couple weeks ago

I've had enough time to grow accustomed to it and I love it so far. I can see what same are saying about the build quality issues. The glass feels slightly loose in some areas but not so much that it would come apart.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I hope it works out for you. I think this is a terrific tablet (and keyboard dock).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] diesel73turbo:
Sorry if this is old news(I didnt see a thread about it), but finally the govt does a little something right. And its kinda nice to see greedy Verizon get slapped in the face. :/

sorry im a new user cant post links
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Drunkula:
Unless I missed something it doesn't necessarily mean that tethering will be free. What the govt. did was slap them on the wrist for blocking tethering apps in the app store, forcing customers to use their paid app. I could be wrong, though. Anyhow I've heard that a number of people were already tethering anyhow. Just don't go overboard on the data usage even if you have an unlimited plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ax562:
this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
It wasn't just for blocking users from using third party programs, it was for charging LTE subscribers to tether, period (especially users on limited tiered pricing). That is why the share everything plans all include free hotspot now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] darklite41:
Now I'm tempted to get a share everything plan. Can anyone recommend any apps to wifi tether on the market?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hoola20055:
Foxfi
[Motorola Droid Bionic] audiomixman:
Would you even need a 3rd party app on a shared plan if hotspot is included? Wouldn't that use the built-in app?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
If you are on share everything, then you can just use the built-in hotspot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] amageus:
Here is an interesting article regarding FCC's ruling:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...eans-to-you-faq/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Saaber:
People definitely need to read that CNET article. Anyone on an older unlimited plan still has to pay to tether. It's only existing customers with a fixed amount of data per month who can tether for free.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fozzir:
This ruling makes no sense at all. Why would it allow wifi tether on tiered plans but not unlimited?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mtbrgeek:
im goingto guess because the deal was for the 4g range not the 3g range.... unliited plans werent for 4g only 3g.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mossholderm:
Not entirely true... there was a period of a few months, I believe, where you could get 4G and still be unlimited. I'm pretty sure I fall in that bucket :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
Me too! I got my Bionic for free, since it was 100 bucks with a 2 year contract minus some discount I got for using more than 1 GB of data a month. Still unlimited data, no unlimited talk. Still 91 dollars a month for basic service.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KaneOfMars:
How did you get a bionic early? They didn't release it until after they stopped offering the unlimited plan. I signed up the last weekend unlimited was available and the only 4g phones that were out were the Tbolt, Revolution, and Charge.

Sent from my Bionic on leaked ICS!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mossholderm:
I didn't get mine early... I was just allowed to go to the Bionic w/o giving up my unlimited plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brainwash1:
I got my bionic in December, then called in February and got switched to unlimited data. They had a loophole for a while where unlimited hotspot was listed in the features section of the website, but it failed if you tried to add it to your plan. You just had to call and many reps would tell you you needed to be on unlimited data to get that, so you just asked then to switch you to unlimited data. The unlimited data was even 29.99 instead of 30 for 2 or 4GB. Plus, if you had any kind of group service discount it applied to the unlimited data but not the tiered plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
It actually makes COMPLETE sense (for Verizon's sake) - since you will run through your allotted 2GB or whatever plan you have. If you have unlimited, then you can just power your home WiFi or whatever you want, which is not what you're paying for when you have unlimited data for your cell phone.

Anyway, this is XDA, so this shouldn't really matter to anyone here...turn that 1 to a 0 with an SQL editor and enjoy your free tethering.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] strictlyphat:
I have a stock charge and am using foxfi free tethering on unlimited plan. I will have a bionic in 3 days
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cobaltlantern:
Seconded. I bought mine release day with an upgrade and the only question I asked the sales rep was that I make sure I stay on unlimited data, which I have. In theory, the ruling should support free tethering on all 4G service, including unlimited.
