[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I love this phone. I came from a thunderbolt. Here's a quick run down compared to the s3

Pros:

- better battery life

- better screen

- taller (but not wider)

- more solid construction (no plastic)

- more comfortable to hold

- better front camera

- better audio

Cons:

- only 11 GB of free storage, not expandable

- non-removable battery

Neutral:

- better cameras but with more noise (possibly will be fixed with software)

Honestly for me what kept me from the s3 was it's cheap plastic shell. It's fairly well constructed, but I just hate that plastic look / feel. Also, I didn't like the overall shape of the s3 and I really didn't like that physical home button. The DNA is a sexy phone. The front is a huge piece of glass and the black is a soft grippy rubber that curves towards the edge which makes it look even thinner. The red accents on the sides and top seal the deal.

Software wise I'm not really a fan of sense, but I don't really like touch wiz either. An AOSP ROM will be available on both phones at some point so for now I just deal.
[HTC Droid DNA] art0605:
Awesome man! I didnt know the battery would be better. I thought with a better screen and a small capacity battery, it would drainer faster than the S3.
[HTC Droid DNA] Budwise:
I came from the GS3 to the DNA. Basically you have to understand that they are very different with pros and cons to both.

GS3:

Development Development Development

1000 Roms with TW or AOSP

That about sums it up.

Button Ergonomics is better

DNA:

Screen is much nicer

Build quality is much better

Development is not near what the GS3 is and probably never will be

More powerful hardware

Worse ergonomics with buttons - Bad placement and design of power button and charging plug etc

May never get AOSP
[HTC Droid DNA] art0605:
I gotcha. Development is there for for the S3, but I don't see it as booming or anything. I thought the DNA would progress at the same pace as the S3 did/ is because they're both locked down. Well the S3 started off locked down for a few weeks.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
You got some HUGE assumptions in there regarding development.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
g3s has a bunch of identical touchwiz roms (not putting them down, just pointing it out) and the dna will have a bunch of identical sense roms (after awhile)

gs3 has a bunch of aosp roms, all with similar issues, in time id imagine the dna will have a bunch of aosp roms, all with similar issues

gs3 has kernels from some respected kernel devs, dna will have kernels from some respected kernel devs

^

thats development comparison
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
It is funny. We would get trolls (and still do) in the Gnex forum *****ing about how the GS3 has sooo much more development because they have TW roms too.

We were like :rolleyes:
[HTC Droid DNA] art0605:
I can't argue with that logic... haha.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
the term development gets thrown around to mean something its not

its usually confused with volume of / # of total releases of something the development subforums (or original development subforum, which is pointless in its own right)

so often to the end user moar things tagged (Rom)(Kernel)(Mod) = awesome device support

:confused:

obviously, im not preaching at you...since you clearly know that lol

just another futile attempt at educating, i suppose
[HTC Droid DNA] Budwise:
Adrynalyne, your response gets me all tingly. :D
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I'm officially sitting on the sidelines for this one unless the re-unlock issue for the exploit is figured out.
[HTC Droid DNA] tailsthecat3:
Not sure if a DNA would be able to get these numbers. Little early to tell, I think.

This some pretty good battery life out of my gs3 w/the stock jb leak. I'd like to sample the DNA, I don't mind HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
What numbers are you referring to?

Edit: Stupid Chrome didn't load the images.

The DNA can hit those numbers.
[HTC Droid DNA] art0605:
I am pretty happy with the battery life on the S3. I can easily go a whole day without charging it. And if I am ballsy, I can push it to two days. Around 17-20 hours. I wouldn't mind the DNA only lasting a day. As long as it's a whole day (10ish hours), with med/ high usage. It'll be like the Galaxy Nexus, if my recollect is correct.

EDIT: I am on CleanRom 5.0 BTW
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I would say the DNA battery is as good as GS3. Not sure about better, but I can tell you I went 9 hours and 3 hours screen time on full LTE and heavy use when I pushed it.

That was:

Some gameplay

Streaming a netflix movie

an hour or two or music

bowsing

tinkering

texting

google talk

twitter

phone calls

email

Using wifi would increase those numbers considerably.
[HTC Droid DNA] art0605:
Nice! That sounds convincing enough as far as the battery. 11gb of available storage isn't a problem unless I have too many nandroid backups. I guess the only thing that's holding me back besides funds is seeing how the development section progresses.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Yeah the storage was a bummer but I am ok with it because I kept my unlimited data.

I think I burnt 2GB in the first 3 days LOL. Netflix was a big chunk of it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Thrillhouse847:
This is almost completely on WiFi but still pretty impressive for this device, I would think.

Note the 25 hour battery life and 5 hour screen on time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonwolf:
I've been searcing Play Store for an app that use motion detection by the front camera to wake up the screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when someone enters the room, or is walking near the device. The Camera Trigger (Motion detect) app is one that looked promising, but unfortunately there is no trigger for activating the screen. I also looked at Tasker but there is as far as I can see currently no event available to use motion detected by camera to activate the screen.

The reason I would like this is because the Tab is used by my family to display the Google agenda/calendar for all family members and their activities. Instead of having to turn on the device it would be a cool hi-tech feature to automatically turn on the screen when someone walks in the room. I understand that using the camera for such a purpose would make the battery drain quicker, but that's ok as the Tab is alway in it's docking station with a power adapter. Also I'm not using the lock screen/there is no security as this is a Tablet used by the family.

Anyone?

Thx n brgds ToonWolf
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partiteur:
I want the exact thing

Hi there,

I just wanted to say that i actually want the exact thing:

An app that turns on the screen, when motion is detected by the front facing camera

and turns it off again, if there hadn't been motion for a couple of seconds...

Have you found a solution / an app that can do that?

or anyone else here ?

I'm surprised / sad that it looks like there isn't an app for that... :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brcarls:
Me too.

I am using a Gbox to display my security cams on a tv mounted up in the corner of the kitchen. Right now I have we turn on the TV with a remote when walking into the room, but it would be extremely sexy if it the screen woke when it detected motion and went to sleep after 10 mins or so.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nemov:
I've just installed this onto my UK P7300. I used Odin to install it, and it worked like a charm. I only have two small issues:-

1. It kept all the apps I had running on the orginal Honeycomb OS, except it deleted the Memo app - rather annoying because I had made a few important notes for work which appear now to be lost. I did backup with Kies before I installed ICS, so perhaps I can find a text file somewhere on my PC...anyone know where to look?

2. There is a flickering screen when I have auto-rotate switched on, and also on google play - no big deal but annoying.

Update: I've installed Nova Launcher, and the screen flicker seems to have gone :)

- Much smoother than HOneycomb by the way! - I had been thinking of swapping for a Nexus7, but most of the lag has now gone... it's really quite noticeable :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
This thing will keep all downloaded apps, but as it replaces your system partition, it can remove apps that were previously part of the stock ROM in your region. I've noticed before that different regions can include slightly different vendor-provided apps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] stavro:
update via kies stuck at 40% -> message: update not successful blah blah -> used the recover option in kies -> boot after finished -> works :)

seems to be more stable and responsive. missing the old widgets (clock and agenda) overall look and feel was imho more homogeneous in hc.

launcher is a way smoother but imho just because they changed implementation from scrolling background image to fixed.(i used "Simple Image Wallpaper" on hc for this with same effect)

ps: usb/sdcard adapter and keydock working
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] plabsubs:
What was originally on your tab before you used the Open Austria ROM? Were you already on ICS using tracid's or still on HC before your recent upgrade?

There are a few roms from kallt_kaffe and safariking that are based on the official samsung rom.
