[G2 and Desire Z General] emokidsloveme:
My phone is getting so hot while it charges that it is uncomfortable to hold. Are any other people having that problem? I'm afraid it's going to over heat to the point of no return.
[G2 and Desire Z General] -RotorDemon-:
Mine sits on the bed with me when I listen to Pandora at night. After a few hours I reach over to kill the tunes and it is hot. Not painfully hot but very concerning hot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Yeah, when my phone was on the bed covered by my blanket, and my alarm was ringing for quite some time before I woke up, it was pretty hot. But it cooled down in no time.. so I wasn't worried. And it has happened twice only in my days of using the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
I can use mine for hours and hours and it doesn't get hot what so ever. Listening to music while browsing the internet and taking calls in between...
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
My Battery seems fine. I use setcpu with notifications if it goes above a temp. Never got one. and i check the temp now and again.

and it never feels hot at all compared to the vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emokidsloveme:
So you guys think maybe I have a defective device? This morning it was was like my own personal hand heater.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
I don't let my device get over 98 degrees farenheit. If its getting hot while you have it under the covers and listening to music for hours, you should consider not doing that anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emokidsloveme:
My phone has never been under covers while running. It heats up when I charge it which I can't stop doing because it needs power to survive. Also, it's spelled "Fahrenheit."
[G2 and Desire Z General] JonathanFermin:
Right now when I put my phone to charge it gets extremely hot for some reason...I'm using the charger it came with and in just 10 minutes charging it gets to 112 degrees fahrenheit..i am running setcpu to the minimum when asleep and it still gets super hot for some reason..can anybody explain why it gets so hot?
[G2 and Desire Z General] zuludelta9:
My G2 gets hot when i charge and play angry birds at the same time... Sometimes it gets super hot when I charge from the USB port of my head unit (5V @ 500mA, I dunno if this affects anything).

It's pretty intermittent for me.

Also do you have a case on it? I have the black Tmobile gel case. I don't know if that acts as an insulator lol. I haven't checked temps
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
I had the same issue... I listen to Old time radio at night while falling asleep. Upon wake up one morning to an alarm on my phone stating my battery was over heating.... I ripped that sucker right the H3!! out and threw it in the garbage just in case it exploded.... scared me so bad that I went on amazon and bought a pillow speaker LOL
[Captivate General] radioman38:
did somebody know of a virtual/touch keyboard that have the arrow keys in the basic layout for the captivate?? like a hardware keyboard?? in the original and first screen not in some hide menu??? i think the evo4 have it, could it be port to captivate??
[Captivate General] migsims:
Its not hidden away in the menus. just press and hold the 123 key and they pop right up. There are a lot of features in the captivate that work this way. :-)
[Captivate General] myrddin201:
awesome! i was starting to get annoyed at my fat fingers for not being able to go to my misspelled words! arrows make it much easier

thanks!
[Captivate General] radioman38:
migsims, thanks for the tip, but thats what i call a hiden menu (maybe im incorrect) what i want is a keyboard that has the arrows in the basic layout, in the first page
[Captivate General] baroy:
Is there an equivalent way to bring up these arrow keys using the swype keyboard?
[Captivate General] baroy:
Ah, just figured it out! swype from the swype key to the SYM key brings it right up
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
Freakin' sweet! I've been wanting this for a long time. I really love Swype for it's layout and special character positions, but never use the sliding feature.

Still looking for an APK that will enable the mic on 2.1. I bricked going to 2.2 and I'm hesitant to move to 2.2 until Clockwork is fully functional...:o
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
That seems to only be for the samsung default keyboard (I'll assume swype too) because when I press and hold the ?123 key, I get a popup menu for the Android keyboard (keyboard settings and input method). Or is as usual that I'm missing something?

Any insight?
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
Does anybody have an idea how to get the arrow keys on the android keyboard? The holding of the ...123 key doesn't seem to work for this keyboard?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
You don't need it on FroYo. There's a blue teardrop shaped handle to scrub text. It pops up once you tap in the text field.
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
...and if one isn't on Froyo yet? I can't imagine the arrows aren't there in eclair.

Thoughts?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
arrows are in eclair, blue teardrop thingy isnt.

in swype slide from the "swype" key (the one with the blue s on it in the lowwer left) to the "sym" key directly to the right of it.

in samsung keyboard... hell i dont rememer it's not there in froyo. someone else can answer that.

in stock android you dont have arrows. sorry but that keyboard is useless anyway, no multi touch means typing is slowwwwww.

now i wonder if the droid x keyboard has arrows it's fully touch screen.. i have used it and find it less natural to type on, just not my preference, it's a good keyboard, a bit better than the samsung one in functioality but my fingers just miss the key, go figure....
[Captivate General] Solarist:
Other reasons for wanting arrows would be for ssh and terminals
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Deadflesh:
Hey guys I am new to the android and I really hate paying for games and apps please tell me a good site to go to I would really appreciate it thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonsteele:
Hi

I have updated my T-Mobile UK Galaxy S to Froyo using the Regedit method and all is well.

It does lag though so installed OCLF 2.4 and it will let me root my phone, however I cannot get into recovery mode to apply the update.

I have tried all the combinations and nothing works.

Have seen some posts regarding Odin etc but all looks a bit scary.

Am I missing a trick here in doing it an easy way?

Thanks

Simon
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japonesque:
I wonder why my sgs ui can never be smoother than my iphone 4 ui? A any one know how to make it faster
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Zeam launcher + Universal Lagfix + tweaks + disable all animations = smooth as buttah ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smacman:
I own both as well. You can flash a custom ROM to the device with lots of the useless junk removed, and install a lag fix. Start with the FAQs on this site if you haven't already.

I must say though, I have never been so torn between two devices. I love the iPhone 4s stability and application quality. On the other hand, the SGS satisfies my primal need to mod and hack things. I also prefer the weight of the sgs. iPhone is a bit too heavy and fragile for my liking.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicOnline:
just install a custom ROM for your corresponding firmware and voodoo lagfix. done.

smooth and fast.

no need for taskkillers either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huxflux2003:
The only thing that is (still) better on the iThing is the browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
It its smooth because iOS implements hardware acceleration. It uses the graphics chip to render the animations, which makes everything seamless and smooth. This is easy because iOS is designed completely around around the iPhone. Android was designed for use in hundreds of devices with different hardware, so it does not use hardware acceleration (yet).

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Well that is not the case completely. TouchWiz was indeed optimized for our graphics chip, however, without a lagfix, the access to the data is too slow and in froyo, the touchwiz launcher is too directly ported from the galaxy tab which causes our device to first render everything in 1024x600 and then scale down to 800x480 which costs a lot more resources than just rendering 800x480 or 960x640 (as on the iPhone). With the right mods, all this is corrected and you will find your SGS just as smooth as an iPhone 4. However all this requires a lot of reading and a significant amount of patience...

But It's definitely worth the reward.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
Or we could wait for a:

-stable

-responsive-

-good battery life

-high performance (in addition to responsive)

-with all functions working

-with the original applications (Google and Samsung Apps)

-with the haptics

-long key press actions (menu/search, home/running apps, back/forceclose)

-sudo/root available

-apps2sd

-fully consistent user interface (with landscape mode)

build of the MIUI ROM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animal06:
Or we all could start mass complaint/class action against Samsung

This phone has been heavily advitised but does not work out of the box.

I received 1 offical update via Kies just after launch, phone went from totaly useless to usable to a degree. I updated to Froyo via reg hack and phone is better but still lags. GPS is still out. Battery life is still crap. Browsing crap, WiFi crap. Both were good on Eclair
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appagom:
Thats funny. Is there any device where someone hasnt brought up class action? Its like suing dodge cause they advertsed the 69 charger had big engine..but suspension and drag stunk... You could wait for the test drive results and dont buy one...unless you just think you have a right to have samsung make something better. i like mine. I also like finding improvements..sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeo:
I was going to question this and ask whether you were joking, but then I remembered this is Samsung, so it's probably true...

It's pretty tragic if that is what they're doing. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mammenj:
I think this is the same rant I see in all the posts about sgs, no point repeating in all the posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakfingers12:
I am using launcher pro and so far, super satisfied with it. I am on stock JP6 Froyo and no Voodoo but still smooth as butter. I am amazed, I didn't turn off any effects. :)

Side by side to an iPhone 4, no problem beating the smooth game although iPhone seems more consistent. At some point though, launching apps or swiping from left to right seems faster on the SGS. No kidding.

[Nexus One General] grainysand:
The screen impacted the floor squarely and the phone was naked. Bottom panel popped out of alignment, though thankfully it could be popped back in. There's a new scratch at the bottom of the front. FFFFUUUUUUUU.

I mean sure, it still functions as normal--and to this I must testify for HTC's build quality--but ****ing **** ****. It'd be one thing if I was the one clumsy enough to drop it, but it's a co-worker's clumsiness which sent me into quite a rage. I was this close to demanding that he either buys me a replacement or gives me the money to buy one, because honestly ****ing **** is it so hard to be mindful of other people's belongings, especially expensive belongings?

God.
[Nexus One General] DOHCtor:
Yea, it really sucks to drop a naked N1. I remember walking out of the gym once and I pulled my keys out of my pocket. My N1 decided to go along for the ride and jumped right out and landed on the ground. I was so pissed at myself. After noticing the scratches, I cried a little inside. But it's okay though, I just remind myself that it's just a phone and I will be getting a new one in less than a year.
[Nexus One General] wdfowty:
I've dropped my nexus so many times I've lost count.

It really does suck though, it's so damn expensive that it's almost a part of you.
[Nexus One General] homero25:
I have dropped my phone also, not a N1 but a Droid and the first time i almost wanted to cut off my clumsy hands, but as DOHCtor says i remember it's just a phone and if by any chance was broken i could do nothing but buy another (Although at that moment i didn't have enough money to do it right away).

Fortunately my droid keeps working :D
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Yeah, I'm glad it's still working and come some time next year I'll be getting a new phone, but grrrrr. Right now I don't really want to change yet because the phone's nice and I like it, and even if I managed to squeeze the dude for a new-phone fund, I'd have been quite heartbroken. :(

My next phone's going to be aluminium.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
So you have your phone in your pocket with your keys? Seriously?
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I dropped my phone once onto road, chipped a small bit off the top right, i felt terrible about it. Im very careful with it these days, i still haven't got any idea what a replacement phone would be like, the N1 is still the best imo.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
noooooo you people are insane. or i am just OCD about chit like that. yes its just a phone if you look at it. however, that one scratch, nick or dent will haunt you til you get a replacement. I remember my first real cell phone back in the days. "NOKIA 8900" yes the slider. i cradled that thing like my first born. one day my friend asked to see it and she decided to close the lid by slamming the phone to the table. I nearly killed her. ever since then, when they ask, i say no and say its just a phone. LOL.

I don't know i am maybe little insane but i just cant over look the damage. i prob replace it or change out the casing. i done that many times. however, if you were looking to replace it no biggie.

PS. I know somebody who can take care of your coworker if you want.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
How much are we talking about? :D
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Not much..... lol.

Plus its different when others drop your phone. When you do it you can shrug it off but others.... i don't know I'd I can handle it.....
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Bummer! Hope u can fix it up. I keep mine in a bank safe :eek::D
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
yeah i'm terrified of damaging my N1 that i just got and the guy i bought it from had dropped it once and it has a few dings on 1 side at the corners from it.

this is probably the first phone i've had that will stay in a rubber case most of the time. its just too thin and small in my clumsy hand to use without it i'm certain i would drop it and these screens break even easier than older phones did because the glass is so close to the edge of the housing.

my G1 however took many falls and the screen stayed intact. i was surprised how well it has held up. i used it for 2 years straight with no case.

to the guy who keeps his N1 in the same pocket as his keys, thats a recipe for disaster. remember glass is hard and brittle. when objects that are as hard or harder than glass touch, press or hit glass like a key or a rock the glass is more often than not going to break and at the very least get scratched and scratches if good enough can develop into a crack pretty easily.

i always have and always will keep my phone with screen facing my thigh in my pocket opposite of the pocket i keep my keys in :)
[Nexus One General] maxh:
Aluminum scratches and dents worse than plastic! I'd choose plastic over aluminum. But that Liquidmetal material (a special patented alloy of titanium and other stuff that has no ordered crystal structure) looks pretty good; it might be tough enough. Hopefully more manufacturers will start using it.
[Nexus One General] S_Dot:
Yall dont use cases?????
[Nexus One General] S_Dot:
Actually, no, the nexus screen doesnt scratch easy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqwKa4bT74
[Nexus One General] DOHCtor:
I don't usually put my keys and phone in the same pocket, it just happen to be in the same pocket at that time. And besides, my keys only consist of a car key and house key. It's not like I'm a janitor.
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
You could be the most careful guy in the world, but it just takes one bad drop and your phone could be done. I haven't seen it happen with the Nexus, but that's because no one I know has one. I've seen it with a handful of iPhones and other touch screen phones though.. It's well worth the investment to protect a $600 device
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Exactly. You can't very well punch someone over a phone, people'd think you are a complete lunatic. But the urge is there. Oh, how it is there.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Good god, you think this video is real? It's faked, he's not pressing hard at all.

Besides, it's not the "one time" that'll necessarily get you, it's the "every day" stuff that gets you. The screen will get dull, the paint will start dulling.. There's zero chance I'll ever put my phone in my pocket with keys, coins, etc. In fact I rarely put it in my pocket at all, 99% of the time it's in my Krussel case.
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
Yeah I work in the glass industry the thinner the glass is the harder it is to scratch but the easier it is to break.

My nexus has a hand full of scratches on the screen
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
how exactly does the thickness make any difference to how easy the screen scratches?
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
The thinner glass is the harder the surface is.

Example 1/8th inch glass is much harder to scratch than 1/2"

There are ways as well to chemically treat glass to make it even harder to scratch
[Nexus One General] maxh:
There are no links between glass thickness and glass hardness. Maybe in your experience, the glass sheets you've come across that have been harder have just so happened to be thinner, but being thinner does not make glass harder than if that same material had been poured into a thicker sheet.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Guys.

I have just 2 words for you.

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Huh? You going to coat your phone with that? How?
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
I have 8 years experience in the flat glass industry.it's a well known fact in glass production.

Also flat glass not poured into sheets anymore if it was it would not be completely flat.

Glass is poured onto a pool of molten tin and floated.

The surface hardness is related to the state of the silica molecules in the glass.when glass is tempered the surface gets even harder and it not only makes the glass harder to break but even more scratch resistant.

Other things like the various metal types and their content in the glass also factor in how hard the surface is, low iron glass for example is much softer than normal clear glass
[Galaxy Tab General] Candypants:
The full specs on the Samsung’s Galaxy Tab have been out for a little while now, and I’m impressed with the device. Samsung have now priced the Galaxy Tab at $600, but have been taking some criticism for doing so. In my opinion I believe that the price tag is more than justified considering what you’re getting. First off the Galaxy tab is $30 cheaper than the 3G version of the iPad, but has features that beat out the iPad. It’s got front and back facing cameras, augmented reality (which is sick by the way) and a better touch screen with a higher pixel density. In a perfect world this would be the thing that has everyone riled up, rather than the iPad.:cool:

from engadget
[Galaxy Tab General] benjammin172:
I think $600 will be reasonable if it is close to perfect out of the box. I've had my Vibrant since launch day and although I am very happy with it, there are some things about it that are unexcusable. The lag is obviously an issue, as well as the terrible stock e-mail application. My biggest concern is that Samsung will not get updates out for the device in a timely manner. I've waited for months for the Froyo update for the Vibrant, I don't want to purchase the Tab for $600 and have to wait 6 months to have Gingerbread and Honeycomb to come along. For $400, maybe even $500, the Tab would be a day one purchase. However at the $600 price point, I'll be waiting for the Notion Ink Adam or maybe even the Blackberry Playbook. Both of those devices seem to have better hardware and should have better battery life.
[Galaxy Tab General] MSITHero:
Plus Sprint announced their version. $399 with 2 year contract. $20 for 2GB of Data. When you factor this in the Sprint version 2 year cost of ownership is $879. The Verizon version does not require a contract so if you went WiFi only the cost of ownership over 2 years is $280 cheaper. I think the Verizon version is a better buy then Sprint or iPad.
[Galaxy Tab General] TodStarrr:
One of the other cool things that the Galaxy Tab has over the iPad is the fact that because it’s portable, it can serve multiple purposes. With the 3G version you can use it as a car GPS for example. Now of course you could do the same with the iPad but the iPad, though small, is still too bulky to ever work as a truly portable tool.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I think all versions have GPS. So you wont need 3g for a-gps...
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
I don't particularly see how the Playbook would have significantly better battery life. It could only save power through the 3g stack (same as on their handsets) which won't make much practical difference when the screen is slurping so much. As for the Adam, well it weighs nearly double the Tab.

As for the specs, yes those devices have a little more in RAM, but not much else. I doubt that in practice you could tell the difference. Also, the Adam is going to force you to use its own market, so thats a HUGE downside to me. Also, you can't get the Notion in contract to my knowledge, so you will HAVE to pay the full list, no choice to get a carrier subbed one and spread the cost.

Also, yes the Tab is reasonably priced.
