[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incep:
So, I've been an Android user ever since I swapped my iPhone 3G for a Desire, way back at Android 2.2.

Back then, my iPhone felt dated, and even though it had a lot of nice features, it completely fell through on simple features such as copy paste, and I felt like it treated me like a little child.

But much have changed, and through it's incremental updates, iOS now has fixed what was missing way back. A quick toggle menu, and flat, sleek and extremely responsive UI.

I'm a power user, and I've tried all kinds of ROMs on all kinds of Android devices. Right now I have an N4.

I think I'm fine with not being able to customize too much if they've gotten it right the first time around.

Thoughtful innovation and avoiding the spec race with unneccecary 1080p screens, 3000mAh batteries, and gimmicky features involving eye tracking and hover hands that noone has ever used. The Anandtech review of Apple's hardware decisions made a lot of sense and really won me over.

So here's my arguments so far:

Pros

UI consistency and general niceness

Spotify has Airplay support, but not Chromecast, and never will have (they announced that they are going to make their own system instead)

With the possible exception of HTC One, I think Apple's design quality goes unmatched.

Both camera and sound quality is excellent. Probably comparable to a S4, but I'd never accept the compromise of Touchwiz hell. Well-calibtrated displays give an impressive percieved image quality.

Cons

Screen size - is 4" too small? ( have 4.7" now, but I think it's a bit unwieldy - is this just my phone design or does all phones at this size feel like that? 4.7" is nice for reading, I read a lot of long articles on it.

Already tied up in the Google Play ecosystem, and I must say that I prefer it over App Store. Lower prices, more functional apps, not a store dominated by child's apps without any innovation behind them.

Will I get bored?

Google Maps is superior to Apple maps (but by how much? Has it improved greatly since last? I don't use a car.)

Tell me what I will miss and convince me to stay! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Android is all about freedom. Freedom to choose your device from many devices running Android. If you don't want a high spec'd device get something like the Moto X that still benchmarks high since the software has been optimized. Android has software and customization freedom. Widgets, custom keyboards, custom launchers, sideloading apks, a browseable filesystem, integrates well with Google but other services can be used, etc.

Apple provides a one size fits all experience in terms of hardware and software. If thats fine with you then nobody is going to stop you from switching. But its hard to beat Android for customization unless you jailbreak on iOS.

Hi All

Cant wait for my note 3 to arrive.

Can someone tell me the difference between the glas t slim and the glas tr slim

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
The Glas.tr just has rounded edges whereas the Glas.t has square edges
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JBNAquatics:
Real simple is that the 'r' in 'tr' is for the rounded edges which fits the device's screen a bit better especially when applying a case around it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Suzook1:
thank you. And which of the two is the thinner? Wonder if there will be a glass protector with a 9H rating
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dscline:
Their thinnest is the glas.t Nano, much thinner than the other ones. I'm holding out for that one. The problem with the other ones is they are thick enough that the home button ends up being recessed, and you need a sticker on top of it to bring it flush with the protector. The nano is similar in thickness to plastic film protectors. They have one for the S4, not sure why they are listing the other models for the Note 3 and not the nano.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
There is http://www.amazon.com/iloome-Screen...r-Oleophobic/dp/B00F4I4YE6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
So far Spigen offers the Glas.t Slim and Glas.tR Slim the Nano isn't available YET for the Note series and may or may not it just depends.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mrlaigle:
The glas. T is thinner than the tr

. 23 vs. 4
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deathshead:
spigen told me via facebook, it WILL come, but no ETA yet,
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I figured it was a matter of time, now I just wish they would step up and make a Slim Armor S-View which others really want as well.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
Had a similar problem. It's something in DoomKernel is causing it I believe. Reboot the phone with the SD card in , with no USB connected.Then set storage to MTP then reboot. After that you should be good. In the later Kernels there is an option to treat USB Mass Storage as a CD Drive. I believe this is causing the problem.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Hi,

I am planning on getting a wizard but I'm not sure yet whether I'll go with Imate or Qtek.

Now I KNOW its been discussed here which to go with. Many people seem to say go for the KJAM as has english support sites etc.

My question is more about sending things back to Qtek. I have never owned a Qtek product and so not unsurprisingly I've never sent one back to them. I have however sent my XDA2s back a number of times and O2 have actually been pretty good.

I've already asked on the blue angel forumn but not much info. Hoping you guys may be more in the fame of mind to answer. Anyone sent anything back to Qtek? How was it? Can you even send it back from the UK? Maybe its the xenophobe in me but it worries me they have no English websites.

Any opinions/help?

Lewis
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thefunkygibbon:
as far as i know its not just websites.. the support / repair centres are not in england so that if it went tits up you'd have to send it overseas. whereas i-mate have these in the uk.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
never had any problems with my qtek, however as i have said before, on this type of product support is important.

i now have a kjam and can at least keep it up to date as soon as an update is available
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ShALLaX:
For the first year of warranty I believe the store you bought it from would be responsible for dealing with sending the unit back to the manufacturers. After that, yes... you're on your own.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] victor3970:

Basically, backup(!) including internal 'sd' partition, install meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-4gb-en.apk (linked above) and run, select partition size, reboot into recovery, wipe data, then for me I had to format /system else restoring nandroid failed. Finally, restore backup, reboot, mount as usb storage, format the internal drive in Windows, then dismount and I then formatted Phone Storage in Android before copying back everything to that partition.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andbroe:
Shame, such an empty thread.

Today I would like to contribute some information.

I own a GT99 for about a month. Overall I am very happy with the phone, but the GPS performance was really not good at all. I tried every software fix I could find on the Internet. Things improved a little bit but the result was still not good enough. Then, inspired by a video on You Tube I started looking on the hardware side of the story. To cut it short: Connect a approx. 10 cm long fine wire to the GPS antenna underneath the back cover and the phones GPS comes to life. No longer intermittent reception and the first fix is normally under 10 seconds now.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bingley:
Thanks! I tried this out today and it worked pretty well :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andbroe:
Glad it worked for you too.

In the meantime I am convinced, this little modification also helped with the WiFi throughput. Seems to download a lot faster with the "enhanced" antenna. :good:

In any case, I recommend this to all GT99 users. It is quite harmless (you don't even have to dismantle you phone) and it really makes a difference.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bingley:
If you're in to backing up/testing roms/nandroid I'd recommend updating to the latest cwm recovery.img, it's much much better than the one's linked to before September.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andbroe:
Which is the current version number I should use?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bingley:
6.0.3.7 is the latest I have from http://www43.zippyshare.com/v/50162839/file.html - a touch version is also available at http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/11285899/file.html but I've not used that one. 6.0.3.7 works great for me.

Hi, does anyone experience spontaneus reboots with the cubot gt99? I have, The phone reboots then in factory reset. No way of stopping it. I am on romversion 8.02.

Nope, all find for me. Might be worth checking logcat and seeing what's causing it to reboot.

Has anyone tired the MobileUncle Tools app to change the volume levels on this GT99? I've set most correctly but I can't seem to find what controls the speaker when Google Now voice search 'dings' or reads aloud the results, it's painfully loud. Any pointers?

I did try it with logcat, but unfortunally nothing....

I installed Coin city 1.3 , see how he holds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bingley:
Hmm, there must be something. Only thing I can suggest is completely wiping (after backing up) everything, reflash the 802 rom and just use the minimal sim card, google account etc and see how it goes, slowly adding stuff back in.

I wiped and installed Coincity 1.3.

[General Questions and Answers] mcjordan92:
Hi, today I wanted to calculate my chinese power bank's battery capacity, but came a little confused by the math..

I have a Xperia Z phone with 2330mAh battery capacity.

I charged it from 35 to 56 % on the phone (means 21% charging ~ 489mAh)

I used the 2.1A output port of the charger and from full battery it went to zero in 40minutes (2/3 hours)

Assuming that it really charged on 2.1A, what size is the power bank capacity?

Well my first question was what is mAh? how do I see it as a capacity? also what does it mean by charging 2.1A?

is it like refilling with 2.1A/h every hour? if so that means that I might charge my phone from zero to 100% in about 1 hour.. doesn't seems to make sense via my experience..

I would be happy if some one who knows could clear up those things to me..

if I confused with the details here is an organised chart:

Phone:

Total capacity = 2330mAh

Starting charging at: 35% \

Ending charging with: 56% / --> [ (56-35)/100 ] * 2330 = 489mAh ( = the amount of battery that has been charged)

Power bank (AKA portable charger):

Output: 5v, 2.1A

Capacity = unknown <- looking for that (well it says 5000mAh but yeah right... I wanna see whats really in there)

started at 100%

Ended with 0% ~~> (I used it all)

Charging time was from 15:50 to 16:30 = 40 minutes = 0.667 hours.

Thanks..

Yesterday, my HTC One X upgraded it's stock rom to 4.22, Sense 5.0.

Everything fine, except that my homescreen now looks like on the screenshot attached when phone is turned sideways. I use Rotate app, because when at work my phone is docked most of the time. I haven't tried to unistall the Rotate app yet, because of the settings, but maybe any other with this problem?

The most anoying thing is that I'm not able to turn off the rotation in the settings (Rotation app and native) so when docked the phone is useless...

Thanks in advance!
