Not sure if this question has been asked before - I couldn't find it about the DVP.

I placed an order on 12/1 - it's still "In Production" and has an estimated delivery date of 12/14.

On the actual order, there are various "Item Numbers" for each "component" of the order... so my question is, why are there three separate Item Numbers that reference warranty information (and they're all different)?

1	927-3713	Advanced Exchange Limited Warranty Initial Year

1	927-3693	Dell Hardware Limited WarrantyInitial Year

1	991-1209	No Warranty beyond 1 year

Do they actually mean something different? What is Advanced Exchange Limited Warranty? For you people who've placed order with Dell directly before, is this normal?

Also, the first line reads:

1	225-0433	Dell Venue Pro Smartphone, 16GB, UMTS 2100,1700,900, BLK

Straightforward enough, it's the actual phone hardware. So why is there this line item:

1	331-1145	Dell Venue Pro Smartphone TMO KIT,BLK,400 with SIM

I bought the phone off-contract and didn't activate a new line or upgrade. I thought it would not come with a SIM. Also, the verbiage TMO KIT on that line seems to me to mean that the phone is TMobile branded... What do you guys think?
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
advanced exchange is what the name intitles its just a quicker exchange and it can be exchanged for more reasons yes all DVP comes with a tmobile sim card kit since it is locked it just saves you $30 bucks to pay for one and the phone is locked to Tmobile network so dell is assuming everyone knows they need to use a tmobile sim but you can use your old sim. and no the phone does not say tmobile anywhere on it just dell on the back even when you boot there is no tmobile startuo or anything
[Venue Pro General] dhafiz:
Thanks for the reply. Still curious as to what that "TMO KIT" verbage means. I guess it could be referring to being locked to TMo...
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
most likely it paper work on how to activate the phone probally has a 18000 number on it
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Hello all,

I'm looking to get a Nook Color next weekend, and I was wondering if anyone has tried to read djvu files on the Nook?

I don't have any Android devices right now, so I'm not sure how well vudroid works for djvu, or how well it works on the NC?

Any comments / alternative programs would be much appreciated! In particular, I have a number of math textbooks that are provided free of charge to the university, and some of them are djvu files.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] daveknights:
I got vudroid installed fine on my NC. I tried some random djvu file I found and it didn't work. If you post your files I can test and confirm for you.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
I picked a random one (well, the smallest djvu file I have) and uploaded it as a RAR.

The file should be OCR'd as well, so if you could let me know how that works, that would be great.

And on a similar vein, I assume you've been using vudroid for PDF? Does it work well for that? Can you read PDFs in landscape mode?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm a very excited newbie to the world of NC :-D
[Nook Color General] daveknights:
I opened up the file and everything seems to work fine. I'm not sure what you mean by OCR'd but if you mean selectable/searchable text that is not the case. As far as PDF's go I use DocsToGo and it works great. Here are some screenshots of vudroid on the NC. You can zoom in quite close and the text is very clear.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Thank you so much for the help! This definitely confirms my suspicions that the NC is going to be an awesome device for academic reading as well :-)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
You can't write in /system in normal boot mode as security is on (s-on), remounting rw does you no good.

In recovery you will need to mount /system from clockwork before you can do anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rmccurdy:
I do have Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1 but I am not sure how to get to a shell and or find /system mount path as I can't adb shell ( read above ) so I can't remount or mount /system

rmccurdy.com/nmap.sh * this is what I am using for nmap as of now ..

Usage:

bash -x /sdcard/nmap.sh localhost

etc ...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
There's an option in clockwork under partitions to allow you to mount the system. I'm not sure why but a lot of people have an issue getting into su with adb when they are in recovery, the constant /system/bin/sh error is annoying. Also, if I remember right, yaffs2 is not what you use to mount the system when using that command. It's mtdblock3 or something like that if I'm thinking along the correct lines here.

Maybe you should try putting it in a zip file as a script and running it that way since you use a different command (and much easier) to mount the system and write to it. Then again, I'm not sure what you're trying to so so I could just be talking out of my a$$:rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rmccurdy:
I can't do anything usefull in recovery ... reboot and apply update.zip but I dont how how nor do I really want to make a .zip / script to mount system etc .. do you know a zip I can work from as an example
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
The slide doesn't have S-Off, most HTC phones have them now...So you have to wait for Alpharev 2.0 to be released.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
Yes, but in recovery we can mount the system and write to it. Phones with s-off can do that while booted normally because the NAND is unlocked and the system is no longer protected.

You can do it one of two ways. This one is easiest if you know linux commands but are unfamiliar with update-script format. Make an update script and put this in there:

show_progress 0.5 0

run_program PACKAGE:example.sh

show_progress 0.5 10

You don't have to use the show_progress line, it's just for aesthetics.

Make a .sh script, name it whatever you want and put the linux commands you want to execute in the script. For example:

#!/sbin/sh
#
##############################################

mount /system;

rm -rf /nmap

mkdir /nmap

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/nmap' > path

cd /nmap

wget http://rmccurdy.com/stuff/G1/BINS/NMAP/NMAP.zip

unzip NMAP.zip

chmod 777 /nmap/*

export PATH=$PATH:/nmap

echo run /nmap/path before you start nmap

nmap -vvv 127.0.0.1

exit 0;

Or what ever you're trying to get done. I'll upload an example file of all this since hands on is always better. Looking at this though, you may want to have the files in the zip (in the directories they will be installed to) because wget probably wont work since the radio is off while in recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rmccurdy:
interesting thanks ! ... do you have to resign it and all or can you just edit and rezip it ?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
As long as you're using clockwork you just edit and zip. Might be easier to use an archive explorer to open (without uzipping it) then drag and drop, but do what's easiest for you.

The Gingerbread Launcher only has 5 screens by default. Any way to add 2 more screens for a total of 7?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jibreil:
I'll wait for the final release - by then I'm expecting the statusbar to be black in color along with the 3D drawer and other Gingerbread launcher defaults.

I'm running this on the CM build and it's not really much of an improvement over Launcher2. I do like having only 5 screens instead of 7 and the the darker background/green icons.
[Galaxy Tab General] csci1000:
Does Galaxy Tab sold by Sprint or Verizon has sim card slot at all? If yes, can it be used with AT&T service?

and if it doesn't have sim card slot, can it be used FULLY (of course without 3G capability) on WiFi network? as pure tablet?

It wouldn't ask for some unlock code or something, correct? right before coming to idle script upon boot?

please advise....

thank you
[Galaxy Tab General] nvv23:
Sprint version has not sim card slot.

Working as a plain Wi-Fi pad without any unlocking.
[Galaxy Tab General] spino1970:
hi there...i'm from italy.

Does it mean that i can buy from here and simply use like a normal wifi tablet (i do not care about 3G functions)?

Will not need any sort of activation?

thanx in advance
[Galaxy Tab General] 1musicman:
Yes. I am using a sprint tab now. Not activated. Work well as just wi fi. If uou wait they are bringing out the wi fi only version which will be cheaper
[Galaxy Tab General] spino1970:
Cheaper than actual 499 USD?
[Galaxy Tab General] LargePrime:
gotta be. US Cellular has them for 200, sprint for 300.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
That price is for signing a two years contact, it does not compare with a contact free tab.

[Galaxy Tab General] LargePrime:
I guess I should have quoted...

The WiFi only Tab has to be cheaper than existing tabs. Even cheaper than the contract price?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Looking at the Specs for the new Nexus S, there is nothing revolutionary. Seems like basically the Vibrant just renamed. Minor differences like FFC, and obvoiusly the Google experience with Gingerbread. Yet, hardware wise, the Nexus S looks like to be the same as the current Galaxy S lineup. Can you point out major differences in hardware?

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Hey, Senior member, do you think this should be posted in the development section.

Can I be a mod?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
OHHHH woops, I totally didn't mean to post this here, Sorry.

I already notified the mods to move it, that's what I get for not paying attention while typing.
[Vibrant General] jumaaneface:
there are actually a few hardware differences that may cause some minor issues with porting. location of micro usb port and headphone jack. might also have a different gps chip in it and then the inand only issue. it will be monumentally easier to port it to our devices than cm6 made for htc devices because processor and gpu wise they are identical.
[Vibrant General] Captainkrtek:
Moved...:p

Also my post count is now at 1337 , awesome
[Vibrant General] dbacchus:
You mean like in l33t? Don't reply, you'll spoil it :-)
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
kind of same but does have some differences

major selling point for me is 2.3, google, ext4, and more developers but yea that's all software.

But also has FFC, NFC, new antenna and possible new GPS chip, anti fingerprint curved glass, no more chrome bezel

My gripe ...bluetooth 3.0 got down graded to 2.1, external micro SD got removed, video codecs

I understand the codecs but i dont see the need to remove and downgrade hardware

I like its being sold threw local bestbuy because Ill probably end up buying it and if i dont like ill just return it
[Vibrant General] down8:
Like 31337, actually: elite; later shortened to '1337, but never typed as l33t.

On topic: I was seriously planning on going to Nexus S, but they removed enough to make it unattractive. I'm (probably foolishly) going to give Sammy a chance to go ahead and get 2.3 on the SGS line. The world knows it's not just possible, but simple to do so.

If not, I have faith that XDA will fill that role whilst I search for a new primary phone mfg.

[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
what do you mean it has a new antenna? what type of new antenna.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
yeah it's diff.

first thing is NFC

bluetooth etc

not to mention the FFC

the Nexus S is thicker too.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
If that's true, awesome. But won't the different file formats make it more difficult to port? Isn't the fact that we have RFS the reason why it's so difficult getting AOSP on there in the first place? I'm curious because if it's going to be an easy port to get NS ROMS then there's really no reason for an "upgrade".
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I dont believe the nexus s records hd 720p video either...

Nothing on the nexus s wool get me to switch... And if I want a ffc I'd just mod one on....

Vibrant ftmfw
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Did anyone confirm what filesystem Samsung implemented for Nexus S?

There are a few differences hardware wise:

- No SD expansion slot

- FFC by default

- LED flash by default

- Menu, Home, Back and Search keys are in different order (I do not get it, why all the different phones even from the same manufacturer have to have different key layout :confused::confused::confused:)

- There could be different screen used in markets other than US and UK.

- NFC

The only real benefit of NS over its Galaxy S cousins is the carrier independent software releases/updates it seems.
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Reports show it does do 720p video. FFC mod is still a fail in my book as it makes the rear camera pretty crappy. And then only a subset of apps support ffc on the vibrant.

I wont switch to ns, BUT I would choose it over vibrant if I had to buy all over again.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Its capable of 720p but not out of the box... It does not record @ 1280x720

It will be added later im sure by google or a developer here.

They did it with the nexus one
[Vibrant General] ekoandrew:
That's all true, the Nexus S is built for developer in mind. Not for consumer daily usage. My dad said the phone does have new GPS hardware. The screen is basically the same, except slight curve on glass, all current SGS phone can be curved during manufacturing. But Google want that design specifically for Nexus S only.

But this time Nexus S actually do have 16GB memory rather than 13GB for storage. 3GB for programs extra.

This is all I know so far. Will be getting the phone anyway cause its newer hardware.
[Vibrant General] Qwijib0:
"only real benefit"?

This is a _HUGE_ benefit. Everybody on XDA, in every forum, is constantly waiting for the devs to strip out all the manufacturer garbage, and release something close to stock as soon as google announces a new version.

I am crossing my fingers that the Nexus S is close enough to the Vibrant that within a week or two of the nexus hitting the streets we'll have a pulled vibrant-compatible ROM. If that doesn't happen then the hardware is different enough that devs will still be on the same cycle for the vibrant that we're currently on-- held back by Samsung's ability to crap touchwiz all over a year-old OS.

And then I'll get a Nexus S so I can finally be on a reasonable upgrade cycle for a phone of this speed.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The poll is bad because it's too black and white. Can't vote without feeling like I'm lying.

They are similar enough hardware wise that the Nexus S cannot be considered an Upgrade to Galaxy S phones (not just the Vibrant, any of them). Add in the actual bad points (No SD Card Slot, Downgraded Bluetooth functionality, etc.) and that phone becomes a bit of a joke. Maybe the released specs are an inside joke between Samsung and Google, and they're actually different than we think they are...?

Usually only the vowels are replaced with numbers, else the **** becomes unreadable. L33T is readable. 1337 is not. The readability comes from the contrast between the numbers and the letters, as well as the fact that the numbers look similar to the letters. Turning every letter into a number only seems readable to you because you did it, and there are 26 letters - there aren't enough numbers to replace them.

Readable = R34d4bl3

It's called L33TSP34K.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
i hope it still has download mode and uses Odin since its pretty much impossible to brick
[Vibrant General] Phylum:
Its a coin toss really; not a thumbs up or down imho

This is all strictly in my humble opinion based on the fact that I'm a T-Mobile customer, and own a Vibrant. That said, like others here I acknowledge the [subtle(?)] differences between the Galaxy S devices and the Nexus S so I'm onboard with:

NFC

FFC

Camera Flash

Support for T-Mobile's network (for those who care, like me)

Curved Display

The "pure Google experience" and everything that entails

But I don't feel all the new features should be considered 'pros' because they're not features I'm longing for or really desire at the moment:

NFC: Few places in my area support this so I don't see how I'm going to make much use of this initially

Curved Display: I hardly consider this a feature; I don't see/understand how I'm going to benefit. Its not like I'm getting cramps holding my phone.

And as others have voiced, I share the same sentiments that in some ways the Nexus S is a step backwards:

Lacks a microSD slot

Defaults to 480 recording

No HSPA+ (for those it matters to, like me)

Bluetooth downgraded from 3.0 to 2.3 with EDR+

Unfortunately for me, some of these missing feaures are a big deal:

The lack of a microSD slot is nearly a deal breaker.

If the recording is software controlled, why is it nerfed out of the box? Lame. Now we have to rely on some group of devs to figure this out, or wait for Google to release an update to address this issue, if they even consider it an issue.

The lack of HSPA+ is just a disappointment, but at least its a lateral move.

I don't use BT so much these days so I'm not really missing anything, but why not 3.0?

I was hoping for an 'immediate future proof' device. Honestly, I'll have to handle the device to be swayed in either direction. If the lack of Sammy's poorly implemented RFS produces a lag-free experience in general, and there aren't any GPS issues, or really annoying issues in general, that just might be enough for me to jump, but its a tough call right now.

freezing an app removes it from the app drawer but not from your phone so you can make modifications. defrosting is to reverse this state.

I've tried Google without any luck..so I'm guessing this is a no..but I'm trying to find an app that disables tilt in certain situations only. I know I can disable tilt thru the settings..but that disables tilt EVERYWHERE. I'm just looking to disable tilt on my homescreen..while still being able to tilt while browsing Interwebz and whatnot. Seems like it should be an easy enough function..considering BB's have an app for it. Anyone have any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] GlitchZero:
Ok 1 - Android is not BlackBerry. Not even on the same level as one another, so just get that out of your head.

Second off, wtf do you mean on your homescreen? Sense doesn't turn landscape unless you changed the Skin to one built with landscape. Just switch it to the stock HTC skin, problem solved, it never goes landscape unless you open the keyboard.

If you're not using Sense (CM 6.1 or something) check the settings, as it usually has a way to disable homescreen rotation in their own personal settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mejorguille:
Try CM6. It has the option for a custom power control widget to be embedded into the statusbar. You can put a toggle for rotation too. You loose the sense home and widgets though, but imo stock > sense. Or you could try quickdesk and put a rotation toggle widget on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Rickroller:
Orly? Android isn't Blackberry? Good to know.

So lets begin...in order to "hide" all the bunk apps because I wasn't rooted, flashed, s-offed etc yet (all the things necessary to remove said apps) I had to download Launcher Pro (which was highly recommended). As soon as this was done..then yes..I was no longer able to use stock Sense. So now..my homescreen always tilts on me..which bugs the **** outta me. Could I just go back to stock Sense? Sure I could..but I'd rather have what should be a basic app to allow me to pick and choose where and when I'd like my screen to tilt. And I've grown to like how my homescreen looks over the stock look. Yes..I can disable autotilt in the settings..but then I can't even tilt the screen into landscape for the browser. So maybe I'm missing something here that someone else can point out..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
I am on a stock ROM myself still, but I know that Cyanogen has a lot of customisation options. I wonder if it's worth asking in the CM thread over on the G2 side (because the DZ one is dead) out whether that has options that might help you ?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] MATOPETE:
You want to disable "rotation" all over your phone AND to be able to use the browser in Landscape mode.

If that is the only thing you want, you can set your browser to "landscape mode only"

Now if you have a longer list of requirements on what apps get permisions to rotate the screen etc, I think you may bigger problems
