[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Android is a completely different os... you can't run winmo apps with android. You'd have to find an android version of tomtom... I'm not sure if there is one. You could always boot into winmo to use tomtom, though. That's the beauty of having both OS's on one phone... it increases the variety of apps you can run on it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Try the free navigation app that is installed with google maps. I used TomTom and then moved to CoPilot (both on winmo), then moved to Android and started using CoPilot on that as well. Then I gave the free navigation app a go one day and I've never used anything else since.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abrelosojos:
Google's Navigation App. is awesome!

The text-to-speech is pretty good, But its funny when it says words incorrectly (street names for example)

Wouldn't want anything else to be honest
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Grey Area:
Given the flakiness of TomTom and their Gestapo-like user restrictions that is not a half-bad idea. Will have a look - is it easy to find?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Yes mate. Just install Google maps from the market and you have the navigation app too.

Does anybody know of a good rom that supports Voice Dialing and Search? I am currently using Energy Rom and it does not support Voice Dialing or Voice search. On T-mobile stock rom, you can assign the send key to Voice Search and Dial. Is there a non-oem rom that supports this feature?

Thanks for your input.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsunguy:
I'm pretty sure this feature is only enabled for android phones, and as far as I know has never existed for winmo. If you want this feature simply put android on you hd2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabold:
For sure, latest Artemis V42 ROM (based on new 3.14 HTC ROM) supports Voice Dial via Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.

I've tested this on my HD2 with my old Motorola H605 bluetooth Headset.

I'm able to start voice recognition with headset button and speak through headset microphone the name of the contact to dial or the application I want to start.

Moreover all system sounds (also MP3 music or IGO8 voice) are routed to headset.

In this case the sound quality is low (H605 is not an AD2P device) but it can be recognized very well.

regards !

so I've been reading all over and see people talking about getting it from sears, i grabed mine from staples for $330 but they dont look the same..

i see the one from sears has 3 buttons on face right side, power back and home

mine has 4 capacitive the android standard ones, search, back, menu, home

are these the same, specs are even but design isnt...
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Mine from sears has 4 capacitve buttons but was 399 (close enough though to get the price adjust from this thursday's sale. :)
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
how did you get it for 330? i'm seeing that its 399 at staples.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Ditto, HOW? I'll go buy some now at that price.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
i'd like to go return my sears one and get a staples one for $70 less.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Ditto. I paid $399.98 plus tax @ Staples!
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
That was the second post in this forum that stated a cheaper than $399 gtab. The first was a $340 tab if you buy a two year warranty from sears for $50. No one responded to my question on that one, I am thinking because it wasn't true.

I think this one is either not a g-tab or just another unsubtantiated rumor.

Sears is still showing the wrong picture. They are showing the Windows 7/Android 1.6 version. The ad has been screwed up from the start. At least the description is right now.

So, the Staples and Sears G tablets are the same. Sears just has the wrong picture.

Ahh.... that's what that is, 15% off coupon and a staples 10 dollar card, since the tab wasn't on there site for notebooks or computers I talked the GM in to it, I believe it was 97015 coupon coded

Google it and bring your negotiations skills

He must have been referring to this coupon:

http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBM5i--B7SHGCB8VwsiDaLRoA0c/coupon.html?n=834&email=

It says that it excludes ALL computers. But Staples has the g-tablet listed under the 'Electronic Book Readers" section. So that is what he meant by "bring your negotiations skills".
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Coupon expired 11/21... BLAH!
[G Tablet General] cordcutter:
I tried to get them to give me the discount, it was a no go. I tried telling them that coupon said desktops, laptops and netbooks but doesn't say tablets. They said it is like laptop and I said well if they take the time to say netbooks and netbooks are more like a laptop than a tablet they would have said tablet in the coupon. Oh well I tried....

[Galaxy Tab General] faugusztin:
Hi,

i'm considering getting a Galaxy Tab, but there is a huge price difference between Amazon.co.uk (~560 euro, 1 year warranty) and local shops here in Slovakia (670-740 euro, 2 year warranty).

My question is if the version sold at Amazon.co.uk does come with central european localization (Czech, Slovak, Hungarian) or not. Before someone says "Ask Amazon.co.uk" - i did it, and they pretty much said in their own style that they don't know and sent me the link to Samsung UK website, which of course doesn't have this information.

So if any owner of a Galaxy Tab from Amazon.co.uk could make screenshot(s) of languages in the Settings>Language & Keyboard>Select language menu (or something like that), i would be very happy.

Thanks

Language support is not a dealbreaker for me, but could be a major factor for a resale value here in Slovakia.
[Galaxy Tab General] mijabaja:
Hey,

sorry, I can't answer your original question, but I might can give you a hint... I bought my Tab from T-Mobile in Hungary. I attached a screenshot from the localization settings about the languages you can choose (to be more precise the screenshot shows only the part of the list you probably are interested in).

As you can see it's quite strange: all the central-european languages appears (polish, romanian, hungarian, etc.) but I can't find Slovakian language, while there seems to be 2 instances of Slovenian. You will know better than me whether it's a typo or I'm just under-educated not knowing Slovenians have two languages... :) BTW Czech language is also present, which is quite close to Slovakian as far as I know, maybe that can be an option, too.

Bottom line: if this rom is ok for you, you can go for it later, no matter where you buy the tab. Hope this helps somewhat in your decision...

Update:

Ok, I'm an idiot, no matter how strange it sounds for me, "Slovencina" does mean slovak language. Conclusion: Google before you write :) Pls skip that part of the above post...
[Galaxy Tab General] faugusztin:
Slovencina (Slovenska Republika) = Slovak, Slovenian (Slovenia) = Slovenian. I know the versions sold here in central Europe have those languages, as you just shown me, but i want to know about the version sold at amazon.co.uk, because flashing ROM (even a official one) equals to lost warranty, and i don't want that, even if the warranty is in UK.
[Galaxy Tab General] faugusztin:
In the end, i decided to buy it from Amazon.co.uk. 100 euros is not something i can walk over, even if it means 1 year extra warranty.

I was also thinking about Archos 70 8GB - but it's nowhere to buy (Amazon is out of stock, Expansys can't confirm any date) or Commtiva FM6/N700, but that one has serious video playback limitations.

So in the end, i decided to go Galaxy Tab route, i hope i won't be dissapointed.

PS: Fun note, i ordered Galaxy Tab with one PC game at once. Guess what Amazon did ? They will send 2 items as 2 separate packages. They love to do this, they did it with nearly every order i did so far :D.

I got a google calender invitation on one of my IMAP accounts.

When i accepted the invitation on the phone i got a choice to use calender or internet browser.. i clicked "calender" but was taken to the browser. Also the meeting was NOT added to my calender.

Seems very wierd - have anyone got invitations to show up in the calender?

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyjohn:
I work at night so I like to put movies on my phone. I convert them to mp4 and use my default player. I'm running CELB Froyo 3.6. The movies run perfect until the the length of the movie reaches an hour and fifteen minutes and then the audio becomes unsynchronized and the video skips to a random part of the movie. Anybody have the same problem? And please somebody tell me there is a fix! arcMedia or Rockplayer does not work for me, for some reason.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
It might be helpful to know what ROM you are running and what app you are using to play the movie. I am on xtrSense (2.1) and use arcMedia to play AVIs. Occassionally I will get a message asking if I want to Close or Wait. I click Wait and the movie resumes. Don't know if that will help you or not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbnaruto:
Sorry I can't help, but since you know how to convert videos, I suggest you split the movies into a couple of smaller segments. Doesn't solve the problem but it is a quick fix.
[Galaxy Tab General] thai21:
I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab, rooted and ran OCLF.

When I load pages like ESPN.com (full site) it is almost unusable. Scrolling takes forever, typing is waaaaaaaay laggy and just completely frustrating.

I have an iPad and their HTML5 version is smooth and has no issues.

I have also noticed this on other full content web sites. Is anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
Web browisng is terrible on big sites like ESPN, Engadget,etc, etc. It's almost unusable. I've contacted Samsung and Sprint and made a video even to show them how bad it is. Generic responses of course. If it's not fixed before my 30 days are up I'm returning this thing for an iPad -- I got this for web browsing primarily, and the iPad does it SOOO much better. I don't need Flash THAT bad!
[Galaxy Tab General] raqball:
Have you tried setting plugins to on demand in the stock browser or using a different browser like Opera or Dolphin HD?

[Galaxy Tab General] qazzi76:
Guys please just disable flash/follow raqballs advice.

Those sites are flash heavy that is why they're slow.
[Galaxy Tab General] frenzy757:
download dolphin HD browser...

I noticed that on the stock browser too, it sucks

Dolphin HD is great...same as my ipad pretty much
[Galaxy Tab General] mach330:
i don't think i'm browsing heavy flash sites. i tried to use both stock browser and dolphin hd (and compared it to my droid inc) and the tab browses much much slower. not sure what setting i need to change. i'm on wifi so it should be blazing.
[Galaxy Tab General] burningembers:
Flash sucks, that's really about it. I can't wait until it dies.

I use anything but the built-in browser, and I avoid Flash like its the plague. Dolphin HD isn't half bad.

That said, I found the Flash browsing experience to be a little more sluggish on AT&T and Verizon tabs than it is on my Sprint one. I tested with both ESPN and Engadget. On another forum this was said to be due to bloat, but when I owned both the Verizon and Sprint tabs I could never get the Verizon one to perform as well even with bloat-removal.

I ended up returning my Verizon Tab and keeping the Sprint one, its just a smoother experience, the coverage in my area is the same, and you get unlimited messaging.

I'm not dogging AT&T or Verizon, though, because I own the Samsung Focus and Samsung Fascinate. But something about their Galaxy Tabs seemed off despite having the exact same hardware. YMMV.
[Galaxy Tab General] airbag22:
Use dolphin hd. Buy the full version, its worth every penny.
[Galaxy Tab General] tacoda:
Opera 10.1 works the best.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Samsung will have to address this issue. period.

I noticed that even some sites without flash lag like hell.

There is a bug somewhere with the or browser lib.

It is even present on the SGS 2.2 browser but it was not present on the SGS 2.1 browser.

For now use Opera 10.1 with 200% zoom enabled. it works the best. very smooth.
[Galaxy Tab General] peestandingup:
Its probably Flash related. I keep the **** off, not even on demand because its such a hog. Its utterly useless on mobile devices.

I personally can't wait until its dead for good & its not ruining my web experience on my devices.
[Galaxy Tab General] clovis_ll:
What's the difference between the free and the paid version?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Even with flash disabled or 100% removed from the device, it still lags horribly on some web sites.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
Get ad free it does the job
[Galaxy Tab General] blackheart2925:
Well for me the stock browser keeps on crashing from time to time, tried Mozilla but it seems more sliggish than ever. So i tried the Dolphin HD browser with flas 'on demand' and it seems to work fine! Am also using AdFree to block ads in all apps.

Endgadget and ESPN seems to load pretty fast over wifi and the scrolling and all seems to silky smooth. . .

Am on the stock rom btw though the phone is rooted.
[Galaxy Tab General] oteroa:
I use Skyfire and works great
[Galaxy Tab General] Fixup:
This is why I never buy anything samsung. Its stuff always seem perfect specs and features wise. Then when you play, you are guarranteed to find some serious bugs which samsung won't fix. Apple's price without the continued support. Unless 1/3 the price or Apple-class out-of-box experience and post upgrading, no point go samsung.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
I think you have a skewed perspective there. :)

But for the most part I find browsing to be pretty good on the Tab. Keep in mind the stock browser is now rendering a LOT more pixels than your typical smartphone, and is dealing with Flash if you have it enabled.

Could be faster, but it ain't "painful".

Someone else mentioned this earlier, but I hadn't seen it until just now. EDIT: the original poster: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9374284&postcount=23

Well, a note to TnT management, if you happen to read this. I didn't click "Agree", so phooey on you.

Btw, it's things like this which made me decide to never accept donations. Once I start doing that, I'm crossing over somewhere that I really don't want to go - TnT / Viewsonic, please keep that in mind.

EDIT: To Viewsonic CS -- I had two devices (one was going to be a gift to a relative, and I was going to leave TnT on it). I now have one device, and the main reason is because of that insane EULA. Specifically, section 4.1 and, to a lesser extent, 4.2. You should have a chat with that company and have them explain what the heck they were thinking.

If a larger tablet company like Archos did this, Engadget and other tech sites would roast them alive.
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
One reason I bought the sears warrenty for 60 bucks. So I am not to worried if Viewsonic is going to honor their warrenty
[G Tablet Android Development] Hannigan174:
Doesn't look that strange for a commercial products EULA. Frankly I think we all have violated EULA many times on many devices/software. I do agree that accepting donations does create a different situation, but I don't think anyone should be scared off by it. Just read a Windows EULA, or the FBI warning on a DVD, or listen to the NBA rights (or lack thereof) before any game.

They make it excessively broad so that if they elect to they can crack down on any modders (if it cuts into their bottom line) by issuing cease and desist orders. Since TapUI is still making money by including it (even if we don't use it) and we aren't modifying so much as removing it I think there is very minimal chance of legal difficulty.

Then again, stranger things have happened.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
Whoever (Ok, mgmt Roebeet) decided to include TnT was either a relative, or a used car salesman. If anyone had actually used the device instead of just listening to someone talk it up in a meeting I can't see it ever being released.

And I mean no disrespect to used car salesman by comparing them to whoever sold VS on TnT.

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
What do you guys think will be some features of Ginger bread ?

Take 3 guesses...be specific not something like "UI tweak" and lets avoid the known ones (tv like shutdown,web2phone app install,market enhancement).

btw not a wish list..but things you actually think may happen.

1. Google Talk. Along with video calling I think theyll be making this a more prominent app and possibly allowing MMS style media sharing or integration with other com services (yahoo/skype).Perhaps using it as a portal to there GoogleMe service coming soon.

2. Browser. I think copy/paste will be refined skipping the menu buttons and having it initiated by long presses.

3. Browser. I also think theyll be 3Ding it up a bit. Giving tabs very Gallery like look.
[Nexus One General] EErez:
i think there will be a very large focus on auto synchronization of music, videos, and images through the cloud (as hinted, goes along with the redesigned media player).

also im pretty sure they will add a competing "find my phone" feature since apple has gone ahead and integrated that into iOS 4.2.

bascially i think the new market web site will let your control every aspect of your phone from the web: images, music, contacts, wipe, applications, and phone finder.

also the browser will probably have a nicer tabbed browsing experience(managing multiple tabs right now sucks).
