[Galaxy Tab General] liqn7:
I"m sorry but that post reeked of Samsung fanboyism.

The tablet friendly 3.0 is at least 6 months away, which none of the tablets released in the next 1-3 months are realistically going to get. If you can wait for 6 months, then wait for 6 months to get 3.0. Besides, given Samsung's track record on firmware updates, do you think they're really going to give you 3.0?

Re: GPS- Why would you want to mount a 7-10" device on your dashboard?? How is that remotely practical?

The Archos tab has a front facing camera for video chat.

No, it doesn't have 3G but why would you use your tablet like a phone? If you want internet access away from Wifi, just tether the 3G from your phone. Saves having another SIM card on yet another plan.

I'm no Archos fan, but personally at the moment, I think the Archos tab is a decent balance between price and functionality. Given the expected explosion of android tablets in the next 6-12 months, it makes sense to get something cheap to use in the next year or so before re-evaluating to see what's out there. I guarantee the Archos and Samsung Galaxy Tab will be superceded in the next 6 months...but hey its your cash and thus its your call...
[Galaxy Tab General] lbhocky19:
completely agree.

im going with the archos 101

i can tether my hd2 running froyo to it.

no need for gps.

i want a screen that is actually a step up (7 over 4.3 just doesnt wow me)

and why pay 300 more just to be able to pay another monthly fee for data?!
[Galaxy Tab General] dhanjel:
I'm no way near a samsung fanboy. I have an iPad.

I've owned HTC Hero, Google Nexus One, iPhone 4 during the last year.

I was planning to buy the archos 7" all the time. But then realized that I wanted the 3g option (my company pays my cell phone fees and a data fee for the pad in sweden is only around 10 EUR). GPS is a nice feature and a descent camera.

A big reason to way I ordered the Galady Pad instead was that I was able to test it at a local store before.
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
Once again: Because different people have different needs.

Tethering:

a) Tethering uses BOTH batteries at the same time, plus you need WiFi turned on on both machines -> muuuch more battery drain than dedicated 3G circuitry in both machines. b) You don't actually NEED to carry a phone AT ALL as the Tab can be used as a full phone.

GPS:

MANY, MANY people do need gps. enough of that.

Screen size:

Yes, again, different needs. The step up from ~4" to ~7" is almost quadruple the screen real estate, if not resolution. This is a significant step no matter how you feel, is it enough? that depends. For me, 7" is perfect as bigger screens render the gadget too large to carry around easily. a 10" screen is nice and all, but you don't expect to carry THAT around in any pockets short of large coat pockets.

Data:

This is indeed so, IF YOU LIVE IN USA. For the rest of the world, fortunately, there's a possibility of using MultiSIM contracts. I, for example, pay 13.90€/month for my data plan - and with MultiSIM, this is usable in up to FIVE (5) devices simultaneously - so no need for an additional data plan.

tl;dr: The Tab may be perfect for some, a larger tablet for some. Different people have different needs - don't mock anyone's opinion just based on your own. We ALL have different ones.

EDIT: Also, does the Archos have a camera? I can't find any mention of it in the specs, but it advertises a "Webcam" feature...?

EDIT2: Ah, found it "front VGA camera"... so that's a definitive additional fact that you have to consider about Archos vs. Tab, the Tab has a 3MP camera with LED flash, so if you want to take snapshots, the Archos is out of the question, really.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Look. I understand what you mean about a screen thats a step up. What i cant tell, is what its a step up to...

What will you be doing with all the extra screen space on android? The only benefit would be in browsing. But why use the tab heavily to browse when youre at home? Surely you have better screens to do all the feally fun stuff like games on? Just think of how long it will take before one of these 1ghz devices is able to chop through flash like a knife through butter...

By the time that day arrives you will be using a different device entirely.

So perhaps you want to be watching tv and movies, but why watch movies on a ten inch screen when you could be watching them on your 50 inch plasma?

For mobility? Think - how often do you commute on the kind of train where people dont sneer at a shmo with an ipad? Fine. You use it in the house... annoying the hell out of the wife lying next to you as you wax lyrical about william shatner as denny crane...

No... the reason tablets took so long to get going is because they have no real purpose. Just now, the only difference between a tab and a psp is the touchscreen. And theres a reason they dont make psps the size of an ipad.

At the moment the tabet pcs are a niche. They are far from the perfect devices we would like them to be, and no matter what you plan to do with them only two factors matter - fitting them in a pocket and being able to rely on them when your phone is too small or youre not carrying a laptop.

More than two cents, but what the hell.

EDIT: I bought the Nab because its the first high- quality android device with a capacitive screen. I will also by the Notion Ink Adam if its ever made, because it REALLY IS a breakthrough device. And ill buy brain implants when they come out too :)
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
Okay, you're clearly in the other group than me considering tables, ie. use-at-home big-screen -ones.

Screen size/rez:

Yes, browsing is nice but that isn't nearly it - reading and games (yes, many games support full-screen on the Tab, there's a thread on that even, go read if you want) came to mind first. Also on-the-go document editing is a blessing for my wife (DtG 3.0 with Google Docs support, yay!). Anyways, just because me and you can't come up with any more uses for the bigger screen, someone will.

Mobility - yes, that's the key. My wife spends ~4 hours EACH DAY on bus commuting to/from school, that's a loootta time to watch/read/edit/play/etc. I myself don't travel THAT much, but occasional trips here and there and walking outside etc. (also, while visiting relatives [which I do a lot] that don't have WLAN, it's veery nice to have a 3G-capable thingy with me).

Okay, I've been drooling over the Adam too, but honestly, why is THAT such a breakthrough device if the Tab isn't? There isn't THAT much difference between those two. It's like saying iPhone wasn't a breakthrough device, but the 3GS was.. which isn't really true.
[Galaxy Tab General] eck0728:
I'm not sure this was fully mentioned (i skimmed the pages) but from what i've read the Archos tab doesn't have market were the Galaxy tab does (huge deal breaker)
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
True, at least for me, that's a HUGE difference. I must say though, that apparently the new tablets (43, 70, 101) can be "flashed" so that they support Market - unofficially of course. Google around if you're interested, it was some archos users forum that had that post. (I'm considering getting the 101 next year as a home tablet, so that interested me a bit.)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
lolz i started that thread about the games! please add your games there...

re the adam - its the screen and the soc which i like and of course the 160 hours of greyscale browsing
[Galaxy Tab General] Kuulthag:
Is it worth buying a samsung tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Yes. I have no regrets. All my ophoney buddies are jrlous as hell.
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
That PixelQi screen is sooo drool-worthy piece of electronics, that much is true. I'm hoping more companies will adopt the technology and well start to see smartphones/tablets with PixelQi screens come next year... I think I'll do something NSFW with Samsung if they plan to release a Tab with 7" PixelQi screen in the future :D

You should be able to get 2.2 or the MobileAP mod for 2.1 on your galaxy and then can create an infrastructure type network from your galaxy. JP
[Galaxy Tab General] Doward:
For those of you with a 70 / 101 in-hand... would you mind confirming RAM / ROM space? I'm hearing there's only ~200Mb available for apps internally.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I mounted mine BECAUSE it is practical! Its a pleasure to navigate the the Tab!

No, forget carrying another SIM, having tablet + phone combo saves you from carrying another phone! Its an awesome setup, I love having one device that does it all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
Has anyone here that uses the BlueAnt V1 headset with your EVO noticed that the sound quality is significantly inferior to what it was when used with your previous phone? I had a Nextel i880 (yeah I know :o) and the sound quality was excellent with the V1, but as soon as I used it with my EVO the sound quality immediately diminished to just acceptable. My other two headsets (Z9 and Jawbone 2) sound just as good with the EVO as they did with the i880. I already had the one firmware update for the V1 before I got the EVO so I doubt that's the issue. I'm hoping this can be solved but if not I'll definitely be getting a new BT device. Any suggestions on models I should be looking at in case I have to buy?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
It's not your headset, or the EVO.

It's your ROM.

This is a very well documented bug. Seriously. A little bit of searching would've revealed everything. But I'll save you the 30 secondso or so and tell you this: Root your phone, and get CyanogenMod 6.0 loaded. It has the Bluetooth quality fix, and a better Bluetooth stack. Plus, it's just better in every way.
[Off-topic] Skullmonkey:
So I get to produce Steve Jobs's new product: the iLight:

The light uses 12v of electricity to produce a blinding light (fact: if you stare directly into it for more then 5 seconds, it will damage your retina and cause partial blindness). It features LED technology to produce a Warm White light, a battleship gray paint finish on the heat sink, and a stylish design. Its lifespan is estimated at 45 years.

The internet speed of the iLight is 10g using the top secret 10g network. It's so top secret, not even the government knows about it! Oops... I wasn't supposed to mention that...

If you succeed at jailbreaking your iLight, you gain 50% more brightness and 15 increased years of usage. Good luck because Jobs has added a mechanism that fries the MoBo if it comes to contact with air!

In all seriousness:

I was at work one day doing rework on lights. I saw this one and didn't think anything about it. Then when I put it down, I saw that paint spot and thought it looked like the Apple logo. I instantly thought that it failed because it was an Apple product. XD. I showed it to my boss (he has the iPhone 4g) and he got a good kick out of it.

I never did get that light to work... Lol

I noticed that when i put the phone in portrait mode (some games only work on portrait), the accelerometer is reversed.

Meaning if i tilt left, the game movement will be to the right and if i tilt right the game movement will move to the left.

On the 2.1 beta i did not have this issue.

Is there a known fix for this?

I tried searching but nothing seems to come up.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
It sees there are a few things back to front, the volume buttons too. I'm no expert but I reckon they used the wrong (apk?). Maybe they thought it was worth releasing 2.1 even with the bugs for the increased sales potential.

First of all I'd like to thank darkstone for these awesome tweaks.

I was wondering how these performance gains were obtained. Did they come at any cost to video quality and do they cause an increase in all 3d performance or just in certain situations? Can we expect anymore optimizations?

Is it at all possible to overclock our GPUs so we can get some decent performance out of our crappy z430s?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Once you have a proper superuser app installed you should be able to gain root with any app.

If you are having problems with the superuser currently installed I suggest removing it Via either adb or Root manager.

Programs like Android commander can set adb up for you.

As a rule Any app that needs root I give it permission then restart to make sure it takes affect.

[Droid X General] Ezun:
Ok, so I was sitting here with birdman's new FlyX ROM loaded and I was all happy. Them of course I had to go and start thinking.

I know we have loaded 2.2 by using koush's recovery. And I think I understand that the recovery starts things at a super low level and then switches us to the 2.2 kernel and everything loads as 2.2.

So, my question: Do we need to load the OTA when it hits? It seems to me that it would be better to have the bar kernel loading and them just make higher level changes.

Thoughts? Discussion?
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
If u installed the leaked 2.2 u have 2.2 kernel with jit disabled

I need to go back and reread how I loaded it to agree here. This makes sense if we were able to load it properly with signatures and everything.
