[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UpSpin:
Can take notes? On a capacitive touchscreen? That's useless.

I also don't want that it replaces my laptop (in reality I have a convertible tablet PC running Win 7), rather that I can easily send documents, view documents, edit documents. And also that I'm able to take and collaborate notes, similar to the features OneNotes has.

And if the Adam software has the same 'features' DocumentsToGo has, then no, that's not enough.

It does not have to replace a full working PC (would be great, but that's optional), but I must have some use for such a device, that means I must be able to do productive things with it.

Browsing the web on a slate is awkward and makes no fun.

Writing posts or mails on a touchscreens QWERTY keyboard, no thanks.

Reading eBooks is ok on such an eInk device, as long as they are 'stupid' books. I can't learn with scientific eBook. It just does not work for me. It's too slow, too awkward to skip through pages, ...

You can't even draw on those 'modern' tablets, because they only have a capacitive touchscreen, all you can do with them is doodling around, and that's not worth the money.

So personally, I have absolutely no use for the Notion Ink Adam. It looked great in the past, but now they reduced it to a normal media tablet with a special display, which isn't that outstanding until it gets finally mass released.

I'm still interested in the device and hope that maybe sometime there will be good apps available for Android with which I can do some work, and people learn that there's a huge difference between a capacitive touchscreen and an active digitizer with a pen.

Lol an innovative camera? My old Motorola A925 had a camera that could rotate like this one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RoboRay:
I've been keeping an eye on the Adam for about a year as a replacement for my aging OLPC XO (running Ubuntu 8.10) that I've been using as an e-reader, email and web-browsing on the road, and for reviewing photos out in the field. The Pixel Qi display on the OLPC has spoiled me and I won't even consider a replacement that doesn't include one. That sunlight-readable display is just amazing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhaiwaah:
Which other tablet(or tablet like device running on Android) is offering a swivel camera / trackpad / Pixel Qi display / 1080 p video out / completely custom and innovative software(They have re-written Mail / Weather / Calendar etc) from scratch ?

All this from a company which is just over 2 years old with average employee age 22. I believe this is device will truly be refreshing and we will be hearing a lot from them in future as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Yathushan:
Well, I just woke up this morning to the fact that Andy previewed the new Motorola tablet last night with Honeycomb onboard. It does not look half bad.

ww.engadget.com/2010/12/06/motorola-android-tablet-prototype-makes-a-cameo-at-d-dive-into

From this I can see the Adam tablet being able to handle more general features such as word processing and spreadsheets in a more integrated way(Google Docs). Although, we have no idea exactly what they are going to add Honeycomb. I feel that they will include something to allow for the tablet to become an on-the-go device. It may not be perfect initially but they will get there as they always do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eyegor:
I was referring strictly to the camera. For something to be innovative ot has to be done for the first time. Such a camera isnt innovative, it is just new to the android world.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elusivo:
Why do u say that, cause it isn't pressure sensitive and u can't make thinner or thicker lines or something like that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UpSpin:
- it's not pressure sensitive, so the ink looks not smooth and it's not that great to draw on it

- it's not precise, the resolution or accuracy of a capacitive touchscreen is pretty low, no smooth lines

- no palm detection, so as soon as you put your palm on the Display while you write it will stop working.

- fat pen. The pen tip must be huge to work on a capacitive touchscreen. So it will cover your written text

- no software. There's no software on any mobile operating system which could be used to take notes with, software like Microsoft OneNote, Bluebeam PDF Revu, Microsoft InkSeine.

Now what is you need to read all of the stickies in the general forum, then move to the development forum and read those stickies before you do serious harm to your phone.

Clockwork Mod is a recovery tool that replaces the stock Samsung recovery and allows you to backup your phone, flash kernels and ROMs and do other low level stuff. If you don't know what that is, go read the stickies again and don't mess with them until you understand it :-)

There are plenty of clock/weather apps in the market, Beautiful Widgets is a very popular one, though I think you need to pay for it. You don't need root or anything fancy to run them.
[Epic 4G General] MaxPatlick:
If I were writing a FAQ about root it would look something like this..

Q: What can I do with a rooted phone?

A: Run apps that require root access.

Q: What apps require root access?

A: So far the main ones I've used personally have been SDX Stock App remover which lets you delete carrier installed bloatware and the free wireless tether app.

On a more philosophical note, having root is like having admin rights to your windows computer. It means having more direct control over the system. Maybe you don't want or need that level of control. though if you're that kind of user who just wants a phone that works without tinkering with it, i can't imagine why you wouldn't just get an iphone..
[Epic 4G General] djkris808:
i do want todo tricky stuff to my phone, im just the person who gathers information b4 i do things like this because i dont want to get my phone bricked you know. i jus want to get the viper rom that makes my epic run a hell of alot faster & make the home screen look like the Evo. & what apps should i download for my superuser???
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
The quadrant score of 2000+ is fake.

Quadrant is seriously irrelevant at this point.
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Hey man... quadrant means nothing... its setup for the evo ...the only reason I use it is to make sure my lagfix.apk installed properly ...though it does make the phone faster, its not the true scores... anyways, to check if you have clockwork installed, power your phone off. When its completely off hold the camera, volume down, & power buttons at the same time... if the screen comes up with blue letters, you don't have it, if it comes up with green you do. Check that first before you do anything.

[Epic 4G General] djkris808:
the words are green.
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Ok, you've got clockwork then... and since you're already on froyo, that means you've got the modem installed already. So your next step is just finding the rom you want, downloading it and flashing it.

[Vibrant General] Gv2004:
I am coming from a T-Mobile HTC HD2, and I have Unlocked the phone, installed several ROM's and Android Build's, but I am getting bored, so I got a Vibrant now, Do I need to Unlock the Vibrant and Root the phone in order to install a Custom ROM? If so, if you could provide me the link to a program to Root the phone, and Unlock the phone, would be much appreciated, and I can go from there, thank you. Please do not flame this, obviously I know what I am talking about.

It doesn't matter whether you are a noob or know what u talkin....

Anytime you create a new thread in the Dev section(twice!!) with such a basic question....you are asking for it....search man search!!

Mods please move....
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
You should be searching, but ignore the a**holes, just in the future make sure you check out all stickies and abuse the search function ( and NEVER double post, because then even I wont feel bad for you;))...otherwise you are welcoming the douchebags to come out from under their rocks and prey on fresh meat

to answer your questions, you do not have to "unlock" the phone. Just root the phone in order to obtain Superuser and Busybox. Install "OCLF" from the market, this is the easiest and fastest way to root your device. And from there just read up on ROMs/Mods for yourself to see what you want. Most ROM threads have specific installation instructions, good luck.

This phone is so easy to mod, its silly. However, sometimes it can be TOO easy, in the sense where if someone gets caught up in the simplicity and starts rushing, you may miss a small detail that could cause major setbacks. Its happened to the best of us, it doesnt mean you dont know what youre doing, it justs means your enot reading carefully. So no matter how simple something may seem/sound, always make you read carefully so as to prevent issues that will cause you to post/panic like crazy.

Im looking to see if i can get some information, the Google nexus S is coming out on the 16th their are 2 version the locked to t-mobile and the unlocked one now if i purchases the unlocked one will i be able to use it in Canada with out any problems i know the frequency are the same

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/06/googles-nexus-s-product-page-goes-live/

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/features
[General Questions and Answers] swetland:
Nexus S is not carrier-locked -- any SIM will work in it. It is being sold with and without a TMO subsidy in the US but there is only one version of the hardware.

The bootloader supports "fastboot oem unlock", just like Nexus One, for the convenience of folks wanting to flash custom OS builds.

Enjoy.
[General Questions and Answers] ronn888:
That's what I thought originally, but best buy just put up a faq about the nexus s that makes this confusing. "Locked" is mentioned a few times:

"The Nexus S will be available on launch date in both locked and unlocked versions at all Best Buy stores, Best Buy Mobile stand-alone locations and online."

"Can I purchase a locked, T-Mobile Nexus S without a contract?

Yes, locked phones without a contract can be purchased for $529.99."

The faq is here: http://www.bestbuymobile.com/article/google-nexus-s-faqs
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
you can buy the locked version at best buy for full price, thats what my best buy said, and also on Tmobile
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoa23:
I'm having an issue installing apps to my nexus one. I can download them from the market but when they try to install it just says Installing... and stays there.

This started happening after I installed cyanogen 6.1 so I wiped and installed rodriguezstyles mod to see if cyanogen was the issue but now rodriguezstyles mod is also causing this.

Makes me come to the conclusion that the mod isn't the issue. Could anyone assist me with this please?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dazmo:
I'm having the very same issue. I reverted back to stock 2.2 but everything still hangs on install.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoa23:
Has reverting to stock solved the problem for you? Have you found any other solutions? Or an Idea on what it could be.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I've seen a number of solutions, so I'll give you the ones that seem to work best:

1 - Try signing into Google Talk

or

2 - Try unmounting SD card, before installing (if updating, make sure app is installed on phone).

or

3 - Try deleting .android_secure folder from SD card, and rebooting...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dazmo:
I tried flashing back to stock image but that didn't work for me. After that I tried what I should have done the first time which was restore an old backup from cm6.0. That did the trick for me, no problems since.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:
You could also clear market cache, no?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:

[Android Apps and Games] Sane1:
I'm a huge fan of illusion labs games for the iPhone and I was dissopointed to learn there were no games like TouchGrind or Sway for android, so I emailed illusion labs to see if they had any plans to port these games or something similar to android. This is the response I received:

Low performance seems like a lame excuse to me coming from an owner of a beastly Samsung Vibrant. Also, my iPhone 3G under-performs most android phones by a long shot and plays these games perfectly fine. I think performance is a poor excuse with some of the top selling android devices having GPU's capable of pushing more pixels then the iPhone, like the Galaxy S line.

I think illusion labs is seriously underestimating android and the demand for high quality android games on the platform. My proposal? Show them there is damand! Download labyrinth (illusion labs only android port) rate it and leave comments demanding they port the other games! And email illusion labs at: android@illusionlabs.se

Tell them how badly android needs quality games and how perfectly capable android is at games.

Some screenshots of what we are missing out on.
[Android Apps and Games] roflhorse:
Low performance? What a joke. Let them fall behind then.
[Android Apps and Games] ickyboo:
Its probably due to iphone being optimized for hardware draws while anything below Gingerbread isn't (we also have JIT unoptimized for Froyo). Makes sense. Also don't forget android is fragmented when it comes to hardware, theres just too many dif configs. You should email the devs back and tell them that your vibrant basicly is a iphone 4 as we have almost the same hardware (but a teeny faster gpu but its basicly a hummingbird cpu/gpu combo) also did you know Samsung makes the cpu's for Apple? we basicly have iphone 4's with a unoptimized os.
[Android Apps and Games] Coedy:
Im sure they've seen the latest Ios/Android split for themselves.

Must be nice for them to have money to burn, Leave them to it.. :D

[Nexus One General] rizzy123:
for the sim free version in the US its gonna be $529 and for the same sim free version in the UK its gonna be £549

Using google currency converter i found the US version to be £220 cheaper ($330)

Would it be possible for me to buy a US version and get it shipped to UK to use here since they essentially are both the same?

thanks in advance for the replies guys

not sure where the right place to post this is, so MODs if feel it should be elsewhere.
[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
I think you might find that the US version is aimed at T-Mobile which means that the 3g frequency would be wrong for the UK, edge would work ok. If they come out with an ATT version, then that one would probably work ok on 3g in the UK.
[Nexus One General] evank418:
actually its the other way around. T-mo version works fine in Europe, but not att. att uses 850mhz band, while T-mo and europe uses 900mhz.

so yes, it will work fine in UK
[Nexus One General] SiL3nTKiLL:
ill still by it anyways lol
[Nexus One General] CiDhed:
I think that would only matter stateside. Both the att and tmo versions will support Europe's 2100 umts networks.
[Nexus One General] samven582:
the us version will support euro 3g.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:

UK version costs $860? yikes :eek:

At least you guys get the cheaper subsidized version and better prices on monthly plans than us Americans right? :)
[Nexus One General] rizzy123:
not sure mate but i doubt it.

for e.g

cheapest iphone 4 on contract is £25 a month for 75 mins and 250 texts for 24 months with £219 for the handset. :eek:

Seems ridiculous and i could use up the allowance in 2 days lol, compare that to AT&T and it looks like you lot are getting a bargain lol

Can the US version accept SIM cards?

I thought that was the problem with importing phones from the US to europe...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yes, it will need a SIM
[Nexus One General] itay1:
Will need one, sure.

But does the US version have a physical placeholder for the SIM?
[Nexus One General] CiDhed:
Yes. ATT and TMO use sims in their phones. I don't know if the nexus s is a micro sim like the iphone4 is though.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yes, it's Sprint or Verizon (or both) than can't take a SIM. AT&T/T-Mobile use SIMs.
[Nexus One General] wicksta1:
You can't compare an iPhone tariff to an Android one, Apple take a huge cut and are ridiculously priced for handset and tariff. Try comparing the same phones in the UK and US and you'll see a big difference.
[Nexus One General] BuzzFuzz:
As far as I know, all Google Nexus phones are unlocked by default.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
Im suprised that Nexus S (£550 = about 650 EUR) costs more than iPhone 4 in EU (£500). Also it costs much more than SGS (420 EUR here) or even Desire HD (540 EUR).
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
'Tis a proper shaft really.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
It's the way it is...

When I first moved to the US, the phones over here were twice the price as the UK, and with half the ability. Now it's the other way, for price at least.

Don't get me started on gas/petrol...

[Nexus One General] rizzy123:
they lowered the price from £549 by £130 and its now £429

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/nexus-s
[Nexus One General] Makaijin:
They better update the price for Vodafone Pay-as-you-go. Who in their right mind would pay an extra £120 when they can just buy it SIM free and just walk in a Vodafone store and pickup a free PAYG SIM?
[Nexus One General] Smokexz:
Yeah, I think that's the beneficial thing about T-Mobile, uses a more global band.... but anyways, I would still go get the UK version, just because you can get insurance etc.
