Review?

I searched but most people had the hybrid case. I'm looking at the tpu one.

I'm mostly concerned with whether or not the case fits snuggly and not loose. I got mixed reviews on the Amazon page with some saying fits well, others saying loose.

Thx
[One (M7) Accessories] Prophet16:
Yeah it's pretty good. But mine was a tiny bit loose. I had a black one.
[One (M7) Accessories] thevuman:
Thx. Was it loose where it was annoying?
[One (M7) Accessories] Prophet16:
Not really, it was actually kind of a good loose. Like it wasn't like other TPU cases that try to squeeze the phone to death, I'd say it's a relaxed fit.

EDIT: Another tip, the logo on the back can be scratched off. Which was perfect because I didn't want any kind of branding.
[One (M7) Accessories] rnoh:
It was the first case I bought for the ONE.... Fit great!!!

.... The only issue I had was that the thin trim that is above the volume rocker stretched out some and became annoying really fast

Search vroot. It should take care of you. Same concerns as kingo.

you could try an older version of kingo. 1.1.6 is what worked for me. I posted a link to my dropbox folder in the q & a thread where someone asked for it. I have heard vroot for other folks, but I never tried it.

KitKat can't be rooted, you have to install a rooted KK ROM through an already rooted device in SafeStrap then install the firmware with Odin.

I have 124 user apps installed and every one of them works fine. You say most apps aren't compatible, can you please list which ones don't work for you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskader:
This is not 100% accurate. You flash a ROOTED kitkat in SafeStrap and then flash the proper kernels and such in Odin. You are not flashing the full firmware using Odin.

I see what you're saying but I was just giving a brief rundown, I'm going to edit it though. According to Beans you're flashing the firmware in odin, this is taken from this post:

Hi,

I used to get a lot of camera shots with my A2 but now I noticed that all pics has a very slim and long green line at the most left part of the photo.....is it related to software? "I mean I haven't faced or *noticed* that issue in stock ICS before" now I'm on SlimKat for 3 months and use it every day (that's why I flashed it over the stock rom in system1) or is it a hardware problem? someone face that issue also or I'm alone with that :(

Note: that line doesn't appear while talking picture "in viewfinder" it appears only after talking pic and saving it..I also tried other 3 party camera apps and got same line...I tried to change settings from 8MP to 5MP and the line was reduced but not vanished...anyone having this issue please confirm.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenihilist:
Just curious if the attached image is about what I should be expecting in terms of battery life. The screen seems to draw a lot more than I'm used to (then again this is my first experience with AMOLED screens).

Also, for those who have rooted and installed cm or a similar custom ROM, would I see a significant difference if I went beyond the stock firmware?

Thanks very much!

What's the actual screen time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
That's about on par with what I'm seeing. But really it is going to vary by user so there is no answer. I always have data and wifi off so it lasts me all day at work. But aside from that this is the wrong forum for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
To find your actual screen on time: go to the screen you were at when u took screenshot, and then tap where it says "Screen".

It will bring another screen up with information about how much total time the screen was on.

The galaxy nexus(especially toro due to its LTE/CDMA radio combo which is also very draining on battery) is not going to ever give you stellar battery life. I HIGHLY recommend grabbing yourself an extra battery (or two lol) to carry around like I do. They are small enough to throw an extra in ya pocket or wallet when you go out. And will give you much peace of mind in knowing that you have a full backup battery with ya.(also, at this point these batteries even OEM Samsung ones are VERY cheap. Even the OEM extended battery.(2100mah))

I will also go ahead and recommend grabbing yourself an external charger.(If you want, I can link you to the one I purchased long ago, it is official Samsung one, came with an extended Gnex battery and charging cable. And can ALSO be used as a stand for device, I also used to use it as a perfect little stand for my nexus 7 tablet.

I personally have 3 batteries(1extended OEM, 2 regular OEM, I USED to have ANTHER extended OEM one but I dropped it in a puddle lolol) and they are well worth the money especially beings as now they will be even cheaper than when I got em.

Let me know if you'd like the link to the Samsung external charger/battery combo I got.

ALSO:

WELCOME to the forums! Just remember posts like this should go in the Q/A or General section, development sections new thread posts are for ROM/kernel/development topics ;) don't be discouraged if your post gets moved :)

You MIGHT want to try a custom kernel to see if you get better battery life(and probably performance also! Bonus!) you can use kernels from the Galaxy Nexus Android Development section. You do not have to use only the ones found in the VZW Gnex forum. But for a ROM, make sure to ONLY use the ones from the Verizon Wireless Gnex section. Kernels will work on any variant, ROMs are NOT interchangeable (you will prolly end up having to flash stock factory img thru fastboot or toolkit if u flash wrong ROM variant. But that isn't so bad, very easy)

Sorry for such the long reply, just trying to make your transition to the Gnex world easier hopefully :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenihilist:
Wow. Could I look like more of a noob? Don't know how the post got here, I thought I specifically put this in Q&A. At least this explains why I didn't see my post show up there. Well, either I or Tapatalk are goofing up. Anyways, thanks for the informative replies despite my error. It's an example of what makes XDA great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
You are going to love this phone!

I suggest flashing a kitkat ROM ASAP.

Have fun!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
No worries, I think it could be Tapatalk anyways, cuz now Tapatalk is showing TWO of this thread here and one is showing all kinds of </br > junk in it. It acts up sometimes(gotta love how I paid for the first Tapatalk paid app, which is now free and ad supported I yhink, AND I purchased this Tapatalk HD/pro(?) Whatever they wanna call it now, ONLY cuz I figured okay maybe all the updates won't constantly break functionality like they did on previous app since they overhauled a lot of it. But yea....I mean it works good MOST of the time but they only JUST fixed the INSANE lag from large posts that have a lot of thanks(see v6superharger thread as example, used to be gawd awful scrolling the first post...prolly still is lmao... Just wish mobile browsing wasn't so horrid most of time or another COMPETING app to push development to be better. Though I'm sure its tough to try and get these apps nearly prefect with ALL the constantly changing forums they support and such....BUT...that's an AshRants for another day...lmao sorry I ramble a lot.)

Even tho battery life for toro(vzw gnex) really leaves something to be desired, the device is EASILY one of the funnest to own and tinker with. SO MANY CHOICES makes finding "that prefect setup" a LOT of fun. And the kernels available are just stellar.(I highly recommend one of the most active as of late either DirtyV(by [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] I use his smittyV builds personally), Fancy(by [MENTION=4615478]boype[/MENTION] ) or HybridRemix( by [MENTION=3990075]Pattyboi[/MENTION] I think I spelled his name right..he has taken over maintaining and pushing updates to the stellar ASKP kernel with his own tweaks added in) things have never been dull in development for Galaxy Nexus but have also just recently gotten pretty exciting for users and devs alike. And the community (as you can probably already tell) has become one of the friendliest around. And there is TONS of info all over in here. Lap it all up, and have fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Gh0stCode:
I was reading along the Internet and found the CEO's of AT&T email address. I took the liberty of composing my thought to him on this plague of locked bootloaders. Here is what I said:

Hello, my name is Mike. I'm composing this email in disappointment with AT&T wireless. Currently I bought a Galaxy S4 and started a new contract. And now I am having thoughts on terminating my service. Why would one do this you may ask and I'm willing to give you an answer and a request. Android was developed as an OPEN source development project, and Samsung has always been up for that with every device I have owned, so samsung is not at fault here. Recently I got an update that locked the bootloader on my device. This has made myself and many others in the development community highly upset and disappointed in AT&T because we know that this decision was made at your company's discretion. In the development community we thrive on Android. With every new android device and software version we are given a template. A template to brainstorm and develop a unique expression of what Android has to offer. We can make it our own and unleash the potential of our devices. That is what Android is all about, that is why it is an OPEN source project. I understand there are a vast majority of customers who do not care about whether their bootloader is locked or not, but there is a very large margin of developers who do care. We have a community to provide to. The community that wants something more from their device. To personalize their device. Customers spend a large portion of money on these devices. I myself paid 700 for mine. With spending that much money I think we deserve to have the right to do what we wish with our phones. Just like buying a new computer, the manufacturers don't tell you what you can and can't do with it. We understand that changing a phones system voids warranty. And we are willing to take that risk. I speak on behalf of the development community. Unlock our bootloaders. Do not make us switch to another service provider for our goals and spread the word of how a company takes the right we have that android gives us away. Thank you for your time and I hope to see change in the near future.

It seems like a shot in the dark but who knows we may just get lucky. I'm trying to make a change. Free our Androids! This is a link that may help. It's a petition and I understand that it's already posted on the forums but repetition will reach the goal. It's only about 67 signatures off to being completed so get this out here and FREE OUR ANDROIDS!

Hey I like the thought, but this probably won't help. If these ceo's had anything that resembled a heart they wouldn't have the position they have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RK:
Unlocked bootloader = easy modifications to system = your data at risk = a vast majority of corporate byod users don't buy your phone = lost money

Unlocked bootloader = happy devs and tech savvy ppl = only a very very very tiny portion of their customer base = they don't care!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RockRatt:
I agree with the second paragraph.

But this line of the first paragraph "Unlocked bootloader = easy modifications to system = your data at risk" I don't. YES it could if those with unlock bootloader could load something onto their phone that is malicious. But that can happen with locked bootloaders. Locked bootloader just doesn't allow having root as easy, allow modification that would allow you to switch carriers as easy (unlocking for free the Sim lock), allow for using custom Roms and help stupid people that cannot read or follow directions so as to not brick their phone. It has nothing to do with making the phone safer. As I said it COULD when users don't understand what they are putting on their phone. Basically ATT /Verizon don't want easy deleting of the apps so they can get paid for their crappy apps that cannot be deleted fully. They don't want users who screwed up and bricked their phone returning them. I can see their point of view as to returned bricked phones. But they SHOULD allow users to CHOOSE to unlock the bootloader which will void the warranty at their own risk (and maybe after it is paid off so people don't stop paying for their phone or anything after they screw it up).

Hello

I've recently purchased a phone and I was wondering where does a simple compass application get the x,y and z values from the magnetometer (magnetic sensor).

I'm trying to find out where would the corresponding files be and if there is any way to change them, since the Z axle is inverted on the phone... it's a code fault, but if it can be manually corrected then it will be of great help when using gps/compass based apps.

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place but since it surely invloves coding, i assumed it should be here.

thank you

-------------- EDIT ----------------

READ WARNING AT FOOT OF MSG

------------------------------------

Hi,

Does anyone else have this phone? I took the gamble after reading a lot of reviews about the g-Smart range, mostly negative, and upgraded to this from the MDA Pro/HTC Uni.

I have had only two glitches with it todate, and neither serious, was wondering if anyone else had this handset and what their views are.

If anyone has got the handset, and from the London/Essex/Kent areas of the UK if they can post the settings that they have for the TV tuners, it would be GREATLY appricated.

Also does anyone know of any themes or add-ons designed for this device?

All in all, I'm glad I ordered the 128Mb version from Thai instead of getting the 64Mb version available to the UK, if anyone is thinking about this phone, I truely recommend it!

---------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING

PLEASE ENSURE THAT IF YOU ALTER THE ROM IMAGE OF YOUR GIGABYTE HANDSET THAT YOU USE THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE. IE. UPDATING THE G-SMART I (64M VERSION) WITH A ROM IMAGE FOR THE G-SMART I128 *WILL* BRICK YOUR PHONE.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Speed. fantastic, no issues with it at all, runs a lot smoother than my Uni ever did, got LOT more free space!, lot more memory for applications to run.

Visibility, the screen is a lot more sharper than my uni, and my mates O2 Mini, can't think of the HTC model of that one...

TV, as I've said, it's as good as the signal you have available, I've had crystal clear pictures in UK with PAL-i though. :-D

[General Topics] zen123:
There's a favorable review of this phone on a Thai website http://www.mrpalm.com/getcontent3.php?tid=389 My wife, who happens to be Thai, translated it for me & it echoes most of what jmdrizen says.

I'm looking to buy either the O2 Atom Exec or Gigabyte g-smart i128 mainly because I want a smaller pda phone. Not too fussed about a hardware keyboard as I'd rarely use it. Also camera quality isn't important for me either.

I want the phone to be fast because I use it primarily for GPS, Skype, watching the odd video & a bit of internet surfing.

jmdrizen I have a few question if poss

1/ Mr Palm says that the screen is a bit 'yellow' is it really bad?

2/ He also says that the speaker is very loud & clear, best of all the pda phones he's tried so far. I notice that speaker is on the back of the phone so when its on a table with the screen naturally facing up is the sound muffled & low or is it still loud enough to be heard acroos the room?

3/ Have you tried it with GPS or Skype - how does it handle these programs.

4/ How long did it take to arrive & did you get stung by customs. My wife is going to Thailand @ Xmas time but I can't wait that long..

Thanks
[General Topics] jmdrizen:
To answer those:

1) Not noticed this, if anything I think the screen is sharper and clearer, I've compared it to the HTC Uni, O2 Mini, and Sony Ericsson W800i, and myself and my colleagues rate the Gigabyte g-Smart i128 as the better screen. Once every now and again - and extremly rarely - the screen shows a few dots like you get when your TV signal loses for a second, but that's it, and it is VERY rare.

2) The speaker is great, it is louder than that of the HTC Uni, but then that doesn't take much! You're right that it's on the back, but the camera lens sticks out about 1-2mm which means the speaker won't be flat on the table if you lay it flat, I've not noticed any problems with the audio, loud, crisp and clear. Great for when I'm in the car and got the TomTom going...

3) I use TomTom Navigator 5.21, which runs like a dream, fast, and pairs with the TomTom Bluetooth without any errors or problems, first time and everytime.

I've not used Skype much, don't know anyone with a Skype contact, but this comes preloaded with SkypePLUS which has extra settings and features to the normal Skype.

4) I had a slight snag with the delivery, Gadget-Gear stated it would take 7-14 days from Thailand to UK, which is acceptable, he posted it with Thailand Post, and gave a tracking number, about 5 days into it I got impatient, and emailed him discovering that for some reason it was posted back, but Gadget-Gear was already on the case, and posted it FedEx Express to me, all in all it was in my hand 7 days after I paid for it. Fantastic - I have nothing but praise for Gadget-Gear, the manual is in Thai, but you can download a copy of this, which I can't post at the moment, but will try again later... but the phone is English OS ROM, and he chucked in a UK adapter aswell.

I ended up purchasing a UK plug and Car adaptor, which are available from expansys.

Hope this helps!!

Oh and more importantly, I forgot... call quality - FANTASTIC! Clear and loud.

ALSO, another great thing about this phone is the Bluetooth Headset software, once the headset is paired, it will use that as the speaker if you like, so you can have TomTom or whatever audio you have going threw your headset. It has Voice Commander, not the cut down Voice Dialer, so is a lot better for voice commands.
[General Topics] jmdrizen:
Also, Zen, the phone they're reviewing in that site is the g-Smart i, I've got the g-Smart i128. It's even better than the site says, as it's got a few glitches sorted out, and the RAM helps,

Memory Details of mine are:

Storage: Total 117.29Mb, In Use 62.67Mb, Free 54.62Mb

Program: Total 50.32Mb, In Use 37.81Mb, Free 12.51Mb,

Don't let the only 12.5 free program memory fool you though, it runs a lot faster than my Uni did with double that! And this doesn't have the 520 processor either!
[General Topics] zen123:
Thanks for the reply.

As I said I'm also looking at the O2 Atom Exec, heard good things about that as well. I was an early adopter & bought the original O2 Atom but that was a piece of sh@t so I'm a bit skeptical about the new version.

The only thing I'm not too keen on re the i128 is the covers for the power outlet & non standard headphone socket.

I'm using the company Mio A701 at the moment & seriously miss the built in wifi of my lost HTC Wizard, although the built in GPS is great. There's too many deficiencies with the phone part of the Mio to make it a keeper.

I read there's a Gigabyte i300 on the way which has gps & wifi so I might even wait for that.

Anyways thanks for the reply & enjoy your new toy.

Very useful information...I just want to know the display font visibility as compared to say Magician or Prohet or Atom...do we need to stress too much our eyes...
[General Topics] jmdrizen:
I've not got one of those three devices to compare, but it the screen is sharper than the Uni, you can have cleartype, but I prefer it without.
[General Topics] zen123:
Now that's cool. You are slowly twisting my arm.

The i300 isn't released yet.

Some more questions

1/ does the i128 have stereo over bluetooth

2/ can it be set up so that when the device goes to standby the screen is locked & can be woken by any of the buttons. When woken the screen remains locked. My Mio can do this but not the Wizard .

3/ I have TTN5 aswell what's the signal acquisition times? Is there any lag? What cradle do you use? I have a Brodit pro clip but they don't make a cradle for it yet.

I was thinking how cool it would be have the tv function on when stuck in a traffic jam it'd make time pass quicker.
[General Topics] jmdrizen:
1/ I'm not too sure about this, I've read that it does from a review, but haven't got a stereo bluetooth handset to test it. Does have the latest ROM features that everyone was after with the Uni, so *think* it does.

2/ I have mine set up to go into standby with PsShutXP, by launching it by pressing and holding the Call History button, you can have it so any button wakes, but I have it so only the power button does to avoid unwanted re-activation. It is also set up to lock on resume from standby, and initial activation, so yes.

3/ It connects to my genuine TomTom MkII bluetooth in seconds, as soon as the device has a signal, my phone's received it, no noticable lag.

The only thing I'm after for it is a propper car holder, and case, the case that comes with it is a great pouch, but I want something that I can access all the ports, and use without having to take it out. If you or anyone knows of anything... that'll be great!

Gigabyte g-Smart i300

Found the details about the i300, it does look a great phone, but doesn't have the TV, only the FM Radio.

Think I'd rather have the TV feature than the GPS, as TomTom MkII is fine for me!
