Rugged 7" Tablet

I'm looking for a good rugged tablet for use on my dirtbike. I've been using a Nexus One in a home-made rugged case, but it has some serious drawbacks" old, small screen, not water resistant, and the first real wreck it's in will probably be its last. I've found a couple of rugged 7-inchers, but they are either unreleased, $2k+, or basically military contract only it seems. It would be nice to get one with CM support, but It's not necessary. It will basically just be running GPS mapping apps and the like. The most important things are that it can handle the abuse and be easily readable at a glance, something that the 3.2" N1 is seriously lacking in.

I'm looking to get an Android watch (That I can root, and all that jazz) So far I have been looking towards getting a Motoactv. Is there a better watch I can get? I just want an Android watch that I can get my GoogleVoice texts on and play some Android games

Found something that will be much more convient (and cheap):

If you have had an experience with Otorbox cases, you'll know what I mean when I say 'Indestructible'

You can I also keep you Nexus :D

[General Questions and Answers] injun420:
I am considering something like that, but it doesn't meet all of my criteria. It doesn't do anything for waterproofing. Also, the Nexus 7 does not have the ideal screen for visibility under direct sunlight. It's not only hard to see, but also has a lot of glare. In a perfect world, I'd like to find a solid device with color e-ink and Android. I can send it off for water-proofing. But it seems that the color e-ink screens are few and far between, and there's also the issue with refresh rate. I guess the most realistic idea would be to find something second-hand. I just don't know where to start.

Alright my purchase is boiling down to the last minute now.

Xperia S vs Galaxy S2!

The only thing holding me back is Exynos vs S3 Snapdragon!

Also IMO Mali 400 & Adreno 220 are at par, right?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
So the unlocking of the boot loader was simple with Motorola's instructions on their website. Now all I need to figure out how to do is fix the USB tethering so it simply works...

Anyone know how to do this yet? I know there are programs that you can install/use but I don't want to use those.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
Not sure if it has the option to do that out of box or not but if it does and its not working, I remember someone saying it is picky with what USB cable you use.

Or by programs you mean not installing programs on the PC? and not by apps?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
I know it doesn't out of the box. Just trying to find a fix for it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
It is hard to say as it varies per phone, try going to google play and searching for usb tether and try a few. If none work, in WORST case you can make a Proxy on your phone and then route your internet through the proxy on your browser. Though any reason why Wifi/Bluetooth is not an option?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
Tried some of the apps on the market, none are working. PdaNet won't even install. Usb is preferred, wifi or bluetooth would be fine for now. How do you setup the proxy? Ive never done that on a phone yet.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
If wifi/bluetooth is an option try FoxFi. If that doesn't work,ill instruct you how to do the proxy thing.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
Tried FoxFi and it says its not supported by my carrier (sprint) so it doesnt let me install. Same thing with pdanet
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
you mean doesn't let you install from sprint market? or doesn't work when you open it? you can download the apk directly on the developers site or download it on Amazon appstore.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
App market doesn't allow the download. I'm going to try to find the apk for pdanet, i do have the license for the full version of that. All that i have been able to download just haven't worked. Ill let ya know what i can figure out.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
Okay... i got PDA Net working. Had to download the apk elsewhere other than the market where its not allowed. That allows usb, bt, and wifi. I guess this will work for now until some devs get some fixes out for the new photon :) Can't be driving around the country without internet for my laptop...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
This is why I just use Amazon Appstore, no silly carrier locking. And it keeps the locked apps updated.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] benreaves:
> I'm going to try to find the apk for pdanet,

Any results yet? I'll buy this phone or not depending on whether PdaNet can work.

BTW how is its reception in low signal areas,

and does its GPS work reasonably well?

I'm looking to replace a 2yo Samsung Epic 4g whose

GPS dies within 10min, it often loses Sprint carrier

but can tether

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolfie359:
I just went from my Epic 4G... The Photon Q has a lot better signal strength than the Epic. PdaNet is working great. I downloaded it from here: http://www.apkfullapps.com/2012/03/pdanet-pro-v350-apk-app.html I selected rapid gator, it comes as p350.zip and contains the apk for the phone, and both 32 & 64 bit versions of the computer app needed.

You will need to buy a license for it to be able to visit https sites. Here is their site:

http://junefabrics.com

The GPS seems to be working great. I've had no issues with it yet so far. Always seems to be accurate, and fast at getting the original location. I'm hoping that soon enough I won't have to use PdaNet to tether anymore now that motorola released the kernal source. That makes it a lot easier for our devs to get new roms and fixes out for it :)

after rooting with shabby's cwm, I tried Wi-Fi tether, but I couldn't connect to the hotspot. I opened an issue with the Google project

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Epicenter713:
My USB tethering works right out of the box. I just hooked it up to my PC, let the included Motorola software install the relevant drivers and turned on the option in the settings. Bam, had my desktop online. It takes it a few moments to connect and sometimes you have to play with the setting or unplug it/plug it back in etc. before it works. I sometimes get a message that my plan may not support tethering, but that always goes away if I just poke at the setting a couple more times. Patience seems to be the key. Sometimes it takes a little while for the network to be identified by Win7-64, which is what I am using.

I'll try WiFi hotspot later and see if my bridge can connect to it ...

Infrastructure Wifi Tether

I have found that with my Photon Q, after I unlocked it and rooted, I downloaded the newest "Wifi Tether For Root Users" off the Play Store and out of the box it worked.....as ad-hoc....I have found that if you go into the settings of Wifi Tether and hit "Change Device-Profile" and choose "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" then choose "Change Setup-Method" and hit "Netd (master)" then setup the Wifi Tether to your liking it will work without a problem on infrastructure.

Hi everyone,

I've got an i9000m that isn't making any sounds. From the boot screen to playing music, I get nothing. The phone rings normally except that it doesn't ring - the screen changes and I can answer, but I don't hear anything. YouTube videos also load but don't play - no video and no sound. I've tried doing stuff using all three speakers (headphones/phone/external speaker) and get absolutely nothing. I've flashed every rom from here to eternity and get nothing. Reboots and wipe, nothing.

Help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
If you have tried full wipe and also flashing another ROM, it must be a hardware problem. If it's under warranty, go to service.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch0g0nda:
No, no warranty. I guess I'll bust the phone open and start cleaning connections and whatnot. Kinda figured that's what I'd end up having to do :P

you can try flash a PIT file without Repartition, to wipe out any settings...just a long shot..in case some sort of settings is causing the problem and you may need to use the i9000 technician service manual to check and sort hardware problems . download from My android collections link below

Reflashing without partition didn't change anything.

I'm not convinced it's hardware failure yet. I cannot play youtube clips - there's no video and no sound (but if I skip to a random point in the clip I get a picture of whatever's there on the screen). I also don't get any sound when connected through bluetooth.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
.....rom manager and clockwork recovery aren't very good for the g2, I suggest switching to 4ext recovery and don't use rom manager if you don't know how to use the recovery

in which every recovery you use there is an option to partition sd card. 512mb is rather small unless you have a g1. usually want a ext4 partition larger than internal memory, but use what works for you

linux swap is often a bad idea unless you do a lot of multitasking with sense roms, even then I feel it isn't a performance boost in most occasions but rather it slows the phone

having your apps on your ext partition won't mean the apps reappear @ a new rom flash, it doesn't work this way. and what you said was a bit contridicing as you won't be changing roms but you want apps on sd to keep them when you do? well either way that isn't the point of a2ext

and as a side note you would have found all this info plus more with a little searching

Hey guys,

So, I did the unthinkable and dropped my phone today. The screen cracked, but it still works. So I don't think I need a full digitizer, and I see the screens going on ebay for 20 bucks, but they're for the international model. Would just the glass part of the screen fit my phone?

Price about USD200 for the whole screen, you can't buy just the glass. Search youtube for instructions.

I use m.facebook.com rather than the Android app, but am finding it increasing frustrating to type there. If I click a comment box to type in it the keyboard covers the box, preventing me from seeing my mistakes. Also the phone will not auto capitalise on that site and if I long press to do, for example, a question mark it always types both characters i.e. k?, c', x" etc.

Hello everyone I'm just trying to get a general idea of your thoughts on the matter. I am currently an Owner of the Galaxy S3 (White Model) A couple weeks from now the new Galaxy Note will be announced and a little down the road the new Nexus device. First of all I've never owned a Note but it does intrigue me A LOT. Would I be better off staying with my GSIII or should I wait on the next nexus or Based on the use of your current Galaxy Note would you suggest I get the Galaxy Note 2?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
I prefer the hardware of a flagship device, then AOSP from 3rd party dev's to get the best of both worlds.

Hence, an S3 with CM10 is better than a Gnex.

TO THE OP:

Don't take anyone's word for it. Wear some jeans and walk in to a mobile showroom.

Check out the size of it, hands-on. Slip it into your jean pocket. Walk around sit down. Run (no don't do that, you'll get caught).

If you can tolerate the slight heft, by all means go for it.

The extra screen estate and S PEN makes a world of a difference.

All-in-all, if you decide to get a NOTE, wait for the NOTE2 announcement, hands-on, release and the subsequent reviews by trustable sources (cnet's not too bad, even engadget makes good reviews). Patience is key !

In my opinion, the note 2 with jelly bean firmware, could be the best phone ever created...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The rumour going round at the moment is that the Note 2 will have a lower resolution screen than the original Note - 1280x720 vs 1280x800.

If this is true, it is a mistake in my opinion as it will remove one of the differentiators between the Note 2 and the S3, probably leaving only the larger screen and S-Pen.

It wouldn't necessarily stop me getting a Note 2, but I doubt that I would bother if I already had an S3.

What are the main differences that this lower resolution could bring that would be easily noticeable? I'm reading a lot of comments about this, but I thought DPI setting was more important than resolution.

Could you explain us why less 80 pixels would be so terrible?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I didn't say it would be terrible, just that if I had an S3, I doubt I would move to a Note 2 if it had exactly the same screen resolution.

However, from my perspective, I frequently connect to remote desktops using my Note, and those additional 80 pixels make quite a bit of difference in that scenario to what you can physically fit on the screen.

If the Note 2 does have a 720p screen, it is leaning more towards phone than tablet, and I rather like where the Note sits at present.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
Sorry Dave you've got it all wrong.

1280 x 720 isn't less pixels than the NOTE 1.

If its in RGB format, each pixel will have 4 subunits. Pentile has 3.

So you're effectively increasing the subpixel count by 30%

Sure you're "losing" 80 pixels on the width, but that doesn't really affect anything.

Videos would look better because of 16:9 size.

Browsing will have same content but "zoomed out" slightly.

That's pretty much it.

Comparing RGB to PenTile is a joke though, compare the SGS to SGS2's screen to understand.

Anyone with a small 4.8in PenTile screen going to a 5.5in RGB screen is effectively upgrading to much better display with a bigger size. I'll say it one last time, throwing pixels and resolutions at a phone is not going to make it easier/better to use. At one point it can become a moot point.
