I'm not getting a tablet as long as they are $400, $500, or $600. When I see some decent tablets for less than the cost of a netbook, I will get one. Right now the Android tablets are nothing but giant phones. I'd rather have a tiny laptop than a giant phone if they are the same price.
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
Nay on the whole tablet issue.. too expensive for what your getting.. between my phone, laptop and desktop.. I dont feel the need...

Plus im like android is cool and all. but why carry several devices with the same features? When my DINC does it all...or even my previous hero...
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Not getting one cuz I bought a bike instead :p

I'm happy with my phone and lappy for mobile use.
[Hero CDMA General] Asadullah:
I'm sure that this time next year tablets like the samsung galaxy will be around a hundred. That failure augen gen tab is down 30 or 40 bucks at kmart and is going for around 100 on craigslist it's only been a month or so. That's not really anything to go off of though. Maybe an ipad :D I like overpaying for name brands

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasian shadows:
no. and just to be safe make sure your in a dust free work environment lol. that hardest part about installing the ffc is the patience it takes to remove the paint. good luck with the install. all it really consist of doing is. removing 7 screws. pop of the back part. remove the old camera. clean out the paint thats inside. then swap camera. then put the phone back together.

Could that patch be used on android kernels?

I believe this is development but if not move it.

I figured this article was interesting enough to share and maybe get it into our kernels.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.New:
Reading Steve Kondik's comments convinces me that this patch is not beneficial, due to the way the Android OS works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgi0wn:
Well apparently it is working better now and they have had improvements of over 15% so far. I think it would definitely be beneficial once it is perfected, to work this into our own kernels as well.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I have 03 hardware and I like a lot of people are running roms that are using the 3.30 base on 03 hardware. So I was getting about a 10% battery drop for every 2 hours of use on 3.30 based rom. I tried several 3.30 based roms and the battery life was the same.

So I reverted back to a rom that was based on 2.29 and my battery life increased closer to 3+ hours for every 10% battery used. So from my nonscientific test it seems that running a rom designed for your hardware will yield the best battery life.

I also noticed with 3.30 that my standby seemed ok but when the screen was on I had insane battery drop. Just some info that I have noticed I hope this helps. One question if most hardware is 02 & 03 why are a majority of roms going to the 3.30 base?
[EVO 4G General] speedracerbubba:
I'd say because 3.30 is the newest and most of us like to have the latest and greatest.

As for standby, using system panel my phone has an almost flat line in battery doing nothing at home on wifi and slight drop with wifi off on both 3.30 & 3.29. But, with 3.30 based roms I would see a lot of drain when I would actually use my phone. I'm using a 3.29 based rom now and my barter life while using my phone is good again, but not quite what it was with the old virus rom.

Also, on 3.30 ten minutes of robo defense would take about 15% or so of my battery but only a few percent on 3.29.

003 hardware phone using stock kernels.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Well I don't want the newest if it give poor battery life.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah theres a different camera used in the 004's. This should only require more drivers to have it function correctly which would not contribute to battery drain in itself.

There are many functions that contribute to battery drain like signal, use, programs installed....

What everyone needs to know is when you compare the two base's to each other you would have to do so on the same exact rom with different base's, and also complete testing after clearing battery stats and running the phone for a week. And even then it would be difficult to get a great comparission as your signal is never going to be the exact same on both trials less you left ur phone stationary the entire time. Same kernel would have to be used on both tests too as that effects the battery greatly.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
Well those 3.30 roms are using the htc kernel #17 which blows chunks. it was killing me, the htc kernel #10 is what you need. I would use that kernel without setCPU and it would just destroy netarchy's 4.2.1 more smartass kernel.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I agree.. htc #17 was giving me terrible battery life
[EVO 4G General] Ezintn:
CM6.1RC2 is out, but I don't use it because it's for the Droid Incredible and I have an Evo. If "the latest and greatest" isn't made for my hardware, it ain't really the latest and greatest, now is it. 3.30 is made for hardware version 004 and 3.29 is, to date, the latest and greatest for 001, 002, and 003. There maybe some 003 devises that are fully compatible w/ 3.30, but mine isn't. So far Rick Simon is the only dev I'm aware of who's figured this out, so I'm runnin' Azrael 2.5 w/ #11 kernal. It's fast, stable, and battery life is ok - thanks ricsim78!
[EVO 4G General] speedracerbubba:
Now you're just nit picking. Just because the bugatti veyron has over a thousand hp doesn't mean my jeep can have it, too. Well, with enough money it could.

How about because it is the newest for the device?

I, too, am running the same rom and am very happy with it. Patiently waiting for the update he said would happen today.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
I have an old 003 hardware version. I am a minimal user, most of the day my phone is asleep in its holster.

I will defer to people who use their phone on the battery life issue (but, if you really want to answer the question, you have to do comparisons of the sort done by that guy who has the charts on the red website - listing amount of energy being consumed per amount of time, rather than how much your battery percent dropped).

What I will say, though, is that there is a night and day difference between my camera on 3.30 and 3.29. 3.30 is much, much better. try taking the exact same pictures using those two, and you'll see what I mean.

for that reason, i'm sticking with 3.30, as battery has not been an issue for my usage style.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takedown609:
Hey all, so I've searched the "no app2sd partition found" topic and it seemed to be pretty popular. However, my situation is different than from what I have read thus far. Please read what I have to say instead of ignoring my post and assuming that my situation is the same as everyone else's and give me some stupid useless post like "google is your friend."

Here is my situation:

Normally running Baked Snack's ROM perfectly fine. I decided to try the miui ROM the other day and didn't like it too much so I went back to the ROM I've been using for the past few months, being Baked Snack's. That went perfectly fine. But then, today I tried the miui rom again just to show off to some friends. Day is over so I decide to go back to what I've been using. Now here's the problem, I wiped data, cache, dalvik the usual, but this time after I rebooted the phone, it went the the white HTC load screen and then it went back to the recovery. Now it keeps doing that. I've wiped data/cache/dalvik multiple times and I made sure of it. Upon wiping my data, I noticed that it said "No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext."

I've searched this topic but still unsure of what to do because my situation is different, I've already done this before multiple times and now it's not working. I would very much appreciate any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
Seems you went from a non Darktremor A2sd rom to a darktremor a2sd compatible rom or vice versa.

Search on his a2sd thread and you'll learn all about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takedown609:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not too sure how that could have happened, though. I've done this before with the same exact ROM and had no problem getting my nand back up.

I don't exactly have all the time in the world to read through countless pages to try to figure what's wrong, especially when I have basically no idea what's going on. So if someone could help me out, it would be great
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Try asking at wwwdotbakedsnackshackdotcom. If you went from an aps2sd rom to a non-aps2sd, then search trevor's post on how to use terminal emulator to empty the apps2sd partition back into the phone memory prior to loading the non-app2sd rom.

edit: I do think that is a standard recovery message, that it couldn't find an ext partition. You might try wiping twice then rolling back in the rom you want.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrinkley:
i got the text yesterday and got the same old thing from the CSR. smartphone blah blah.

I was on the 30$ everything plan and now its 25$ for 2gb and $20 for unlimited texts.

Is there anything I can say to the rep tomorrow when I call back? I was on that previous plan ($30) for a long time, couple years I think.

Been at att for 13 years.

I have a tmo N1 also, I could switch but I don't know about their coverage down here.

I don't I'm beating a dead horse, I'm sorry. I did do some searching before hand.

any advice?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
I can't help you but to say that I received the exact same awful news this week. I can't understand how they feel justified in doing this since I am not under contract and my plan was grandfathered in. I am going to call them tomorrow and let them know how I feel but I doubt it helps. I guess I'll just have to take my four phones elsewhere.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrinkley:
I literally had nothing to say to the guy after he came back from having me on hold. 30$ was the smart plan back two years ago wasn't it? So now it's not and we need $15 more dollars from you?

I'd rather pay google for good VOIP.

I can't find prices for tmo even more plus plans online anymore, I know they use to be there?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarthsiegeTA:
Legally, because they changed your plan, you can back out of their service without an early termination fee. That's probably the best thing you can do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
They do periodic scans... Once it happens automatically there's nothing you can do to get the cheap unlimited plan back. If you ask nicely you CAN get the unlimited data plan, but of course you'll pay $30 for it.

What can you do to mitigate it? I suppose you could use Wifi more, if you listen to streaming music a lot perhaps instead buy a bigger SD card and listen to music from there? Don't stream videos to it?

Personally I have only gone a hair over 1G since I've had my Nexus One, but I stream music only a few hours a month and otherwise it's market updates, email, data syncing etc.

I got switched back a few weeks ago myself too, but this time instead of exploding I figured there's nothing you can do about it, at least in the long term, except for talking from your wallet. When you contract is up, move somewhere else and tell AT&T why.

They keep giving us broader access to fast cellular data, keep making it faster, but continue to reduce what we can use of it. Same with home broadband, friend has 20mbit cable broadband at his house but it drops to like 1mbit/sec if he uses more than 5G/month.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrinkley:
I don't have a contract. I'm going to check a tmo sim in my house and see how the coverage is. Maybe switch after a final call to att. I have atmo n1 also.

silly thing is I've never went over 250mb a month. BUT what's the point of watching or keeping track of how much data you've used when you pay these Fu**s 1200 a year?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
exactly ! and, when the advertisement says UNLIMITED, by god that's what I'm paying for. if/when a telco throttles my account for using "too much" i'm suing.

so far this month, 4Gb. i'm on tmo, and while the out-of-town coverage isn't great, i'm never too far off the interstate for it to matter.

vote with your money. not like they care, with 20 million iphone users coughing up whatever amount they are told to. ;-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrinkley:
well, there ain't jack the retention people can do. Been at att for 12 years now.

It's impossible to go back I guess. Also you can't just have voice voice or data alone. Thought about having two sims active at the same time, one from tmo and one from att.

According to him there is only 200mb or 2gb plans no matter what you had before they auto switch you.

What he did do was switch me to a 29.99 voice with rollover instead of the lowest advertised 39.99 450 rollover plan.

Drop to 1500 texts a month for $15 instead of unlimited for $20. (which I'm slowly swapping people over to my GV number)

and 2gb data for whatever that price is, I don't remember. But at least my bill is within $5 of what it was the other day.

Att just doesn't really care to much about what they're doing to customers.

I'm still going to go check out tmo and coverage at my house when I have time.

retention guy was cool. I recommend not hanging up or cussing these people.

Att is the devil.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frito11:
wow, glad i'm on T-mobile i'm using a grandfathered G1 unlimited data/400 texts plan, but if i ever needed unlimited texts i could just upgrade to the even more plan and i would end up with 200 more anytime minutes and unlimited texts along with unlimited data, i currently pay 55 dollars a month total and the current even more plan (no contract plan) is 60 dollars a month.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
The EM+ plans are still available, but you have to go to a store or call T-mo to sign up for that plan.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
You realize the irony here is that the users who use hoards of data are part of the reason why they keep clamping down? How can you possibly use 4G of data doing semi-normal things?

its pointless to try as the update mechanisme is triggered by the device itself and uses this template html for the visual appearance. once the update is invoked it will pass your baseband version in order to get the right file for upgrade. after that it will only decrypt on the right device which has the right "keys"

I am using a Bluetooth Keyboard more often now with my Phone and one problem that remains is that if i need to change from using the onscreen to the bluetooth i have to go in to settings and disable the on-screen Keyboard.

or else every time I select a text field the keyboard will pop up.

The 3 solutions i have considered are as follows:

1. Create a toggle Widget that will disable/enable the on-screen keyboard (OSK)

2. Change androids config (permanently) so the only way to access the on screen (OSK) keyboard is by Long-Press MENU.

3. Make so, when a Bluetooth HID Device is attached the OSK will not auto open.

-- Sorry i have searched but found nothing, and personally i have no skills in creating this solution---

I have found the following maybe someone else could do something with this:

Hello all. I have a samsung galaxy s gt-I900M phone and I am trying to make my paid VPN work on it. It's called VyprVPN and does work well on my pc and laptop but not on this phone. IT is a PPTP connection , and it will connect on the phone but as soon as I try to use the internet it just does nothing , I have been searching and reading all I can on this issue.

Thank you for contacting Technical Support!

We use public dns 4.2.2.2. So there should not be any issues with DNS. PPTP

is the only VPN connection we offer. Have you attempted contacting

Galaxys support to assure their phone does not have an over ride built in

or if one of your apps is causing interference? We have other users that

have gotten this to work as well as developers.

from fbvpn.com :

android needs special settings, and its encryption has some bug.

we are going to setup a new server only for android phone

but it won't be very fast, not proper for watching video

and another thing, if you need to use PPTPVPN on android, your message is not encrypted.

The vpn's i have subscribed to all require encryption so when i turn it off , they wont even connect. Any suggestions for a vpn that will work without it?
