Can't post the link, but it's on their main page this morning. Full review coming soon.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Sure hope they reviewed out of box and with TnT 2.20 as a comparison, or we already know the score ;)
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Doesn't sound like they're going to. Complains about crappy/slow GUI OOB, and awful viewing angles. Sound familiar?

Crushed the Galaxy Tab in ALL of the benchmarks (sunspider, browsermark, linpack, and quake III) excepting a synthetic graphics test. Also did the same to most of the smartphones, except linpack where one came out ~1 MFLOP ahead, however they apparently realized that it didn't appear that apps/Android we effectively utilizing both cores...

I just wish that they'd've tossed in the Nook Color into the benching...

(Tegra apparently loses synthetic tests as I guess that they're optimized for tile renderers(ARM Mali & PowerVR(they ALWAYS did tiling)) v. standard rendering with the nVidia GPU. (Guess that's why the planet/moon 3D anim looks awful(shadowing) in quadrant... crappy tile rendering...)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Strange on the rendering, since not seeing that with mine (Perhaps Nvidia driver isssue out of box).

I did notice errors last night testing the Droid 2 Global (1.2ghz) with Quadrant at a VZW store. Graphic errors with same planet/moon segment. 1500 score average.

Hello,

i'm going to U.S. for holidays and i'd like to have a prepaid sim for my nexus for the month i will stay there.

Reading here and there i found that my europen nexus probably won't work on 3g AT&T, right?

So the only option i found is T-Mobile, that seems to have a prepaid sim card on which i can activate the data option, altough on their site i read "Already have a T-Mobile Prepaid phone that you need to activate?" i think it will work on my nexus too, or am i wrong?

Any help will be appreciated :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Your european one i think could be either. Both the AT&T and T-Mobile ones (here) work on 2100Mhz for Europe so no way to tell. I think however that yours would be the T-mobile version since those were released first.

Anyways, there is Simple Mobile and other prepaid carriers that you just pop your SIM card into the phone and you are good to go. TMobile has $70 Unlimited talk/text (2GB data) and Simple Mobile has $60 Unlimited everything.

Simple Mobile uses T-Mobile's network still so same coverage as T-Mobile.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __max__:
If it can help mine is an amoled one... so sure of the first released.

Maybe i can ask in the shop if they make me try a sim card to see if it works... :)

Simple Mobile, ok i've found that online and saw the prices, really good, hope to find a shop somewhere in NY where i land on the first day.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
They don't really have Simple Mobile stores but you should be able to get a SIM from those little shops they have in NY. Just check online for the locator for somewhere to buy the SIM as lots of places sell the reloads but not the SIM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __max__:
Thanks for the tips, i'll look for the sim in the shops, will find one with the sim cards too :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Just go with T-Mobile itself. They have a prepaid data day pass, $1.50/day.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __max__:
I didn't see that option, thanks, just seen on their site, it's interesting.

Just hope that my nexus will work... in the specs i see UMTS 900/2100, so it should be T-Mobile frequencies :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __max__:
Maybe this can help someone in the future...

My Nexus work fine with T-Mobile, i made the daily plan 1.49$ a day for unlimited data.

Works like a charm in NYC, i'm having some problem in the south of USA now, but in the big cities it work well.

Thanks for the tips!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
I have been using a N1 on T-Mobile on the $30/month for 1500 minutes/texts and 30MB of data. With Google Maps I soon burnt up the data and have purchased $1.45/day for unlimited data as I have needed it.

The phone works fine on TM - can't say that TM's network is that good though (this is in the San Francisco Bay Area) with regular dropped calls and data falling back to Edge quite often.

Hi everyone!

I would like to request some feedback and possibly some help with the free Android voucher app that we built, vouchAR.

As an overview....the main function is to find discount vouchers that are local to the user....so they can save money in restaurants and shops.

The method of presenting this information however is via an Augmented Reality camera view, with floating tags showing the locations of the discounts.

I would add a screen-shot but I don't have the forum privileges required yet as I am a junior member still!

At present the app has had around 10,000 downloads (since August) and conceptually we think its a great use of AR...however I know if needs a lot of cosmetic work and some usability tweaks (sharing etc). If any of you have time to trial it and comment I would be very thankful. Any feedback, pos or neg would be graciously received!

The app is available for download for UK Android users only at present, something I would also like to change once US partners are found.

Also, if you think you have the dev experience to add something to this app and might like to work with us on this then please PM me...

All the best!

Pete
[Android Apps and Games] Becksman:
Hi,

you might have a little more feedback and would maybe encourage more people to try your app if you would provide some more information:

- what does your app do

- what are the advantages

- screenshots

- QR Code

I guess a lot of people will see this and don't bother to go to the market, search for your App and download it, just to find out what its for.

Regards,

Becksman
[Android Apps and Games] tweakghost:
Thank you for the advice Becksman, I have updated the original post with more details however I am unable to post a screenshot yet as I have limited forum rights. Screenshots can easily be found by searching goolge images for "vouchar"

Ok first off I'm an idiot for not exporting my REG. :confused:

I had big problems with MMS not working and found several old connection profiles hanging in my Comm's reg entries. I removed the old ones and in the process deleted the Phone network connection entry. So can someone post the Vodaphone HKCU>COMM>RASBOOK and HKLM>COMM>CONNMGR settings.

After days of trying to get the Bluetooth GPS from the Market I stumbled across an alternative to the Market Download. This works with Google Maps, Navigation, Accuweather and other GPS apps. Cannot post link due to forum restrictions. but you can figure it out or post the link as a reply.

Works on Gtablet TnT Lite 2.2 / TomTom Bluetooth GPS.

Its open source maybe add it to the next upgrade roebert.

bluegps4droid sourceforge.net/p/bluegps4droid/home/

Bluetooth GPS for Android is an application for using an external bluetooth GPS on Android devices.

The application starts a service, then connects to a Bluetooth device (NMEA GPS) and creates a mock GPS provider which can be used to replace the internal GPS.

It's also possible to log the external GPS NMEA data in a file on the device.

It's an open source software distributed free of charge under the terms of the GNU General Public License GPLv3 logo.
[G Tablet General] myndwire:
Thanks for this, I went through hell finding BTGPS, (downloaded on my phone, yanked off, pushed via adb) only to find that it's sort of unreliable as far as connecting. I was really hurting for an alternative and this seems it could be the one! They seriously just need to allow http download of all free android apps... it's a win/win, and it'll save a lot of people from frustration.

Mock Locations Disabled

Google Maps still can't find my location. Trying to use a TomTom BlueTooth Wireless Receiver. (Not sure it is seeing satellites). Enabled mock locations. Scratching my head.

I believe the TomTom is finding satellites (flashing green light) and BlueGPS4Droid tells me it is connecting to the unit via bluetooth. I have enabled mock locations. Any other settings in BG4D that need to be tweaked? SRIS?

My understanding is that I should be able to have GoogleMaps recognize my location (via GPS) and then if I drive around, follow me on the map. I am unable to make that happen.

GoogleMaps 5.0

BlueGPS4Droid 1.20

TomTom 9T00.001S
[G Tablet General] herbert1:
Is GPS location enabled ?

If yes, can you generate a NMEA track ?

If the track remains empty, then GPS4Droid doesn't receive NMEA data from the GPS... some GPS (as the SIRF ones) can be configured to send binary data.

If the track is not empty, the connection is OK. Then you could look into the track in order to verify if you have a fix...

With a cold start it can take several minutes before the first fix.

HI , is there a way to disable sense after the update to 2.2 .?

Cheers

/T
[Legend General] whpsnp:
If you go to "Menu -> Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps" and choose the "All apps" tab, find HTC Sense and then choose "Clear standards" that should do it. (My menu is Danish so these menu points might not be entirely correctly named)

When you press the "Home" button you can choose which launcher you want to use.

Not completely sure if this is what you meant by disabling Sense - this way you can use another launcher but Sense will still be there.

Otherwise I believe you will have to root and install a different ROM.
[Legend General] Timothye:
Cheers mate ..

1st i have selected to force close htc sense and then directly press the HOME button . when doing so sense just restarts .

when i press the clear all data button , it clears all data and then starts ( reloads sense ) and then i start from the beginning .

I guess i have to install a launcher in order to use my phone without sense ?

basically what i would like to try out is just to use the standard interface , without send would it look like this

Cheers

/T
[Legend General] whpsnp:
Of course I should have checked before posting but it seems the option to choose Android home has disappeared updating to Froyo...

Before when doing as I described I could choose between stock Android home, HTC Sense and Launcher Pro - now I can only choose between the latter two.

However, I can definitely recommend Launcher Pro. It improved responsiveness so much in Eclair that I haven't even bothered to try out Sense after updating although I guess I should ;)

Launcher Pro is only other launcher I've tried so others might be just as good but if you want to try something other than Sense I wouldn't hesitate :)

Had anyone seen screen protectors being made for this phone? I wonder how well they will work on a curved display.

MT4G (HTC Glacier) using XDA app.
[Nexus S Accessories] J-manX:
I read somewhere Zagg invisibleShield will be available.
[Nexus S Accessories] trojjanhorse:
Just out of curiousity, why would you want a screen protector? All of Samsuns S models have gorilla glass. The screen is virtually impossible to scratch.
[Nexus S Accessories] theimpaler747:
+1, I agree, screen protectors are not that useful IMHO :)
[Nexus S Accessories] bananenlarry:
i agree too. never heard that samsung screens were scratched by something else than a diamond. Who else has diamonds in his pocket alle the time?
[Nexus S Accessories] kabumm:
I am waiting for brando to get some protectors online...

imho best i've ever had :)
[Nexus S Accessories] theimpaler747:
While I do agree, I suppose some just want to be sure ;) Or they just don't want any dirt, grime, or grease on the screen either :D

just kidding, i heard there will be invisible shield ^^

Found one on eBay today.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CLEAR-SCREE...Accessories&hash=item43a3d30eac#ht_4359wt_875

$5.99, looks like it's a full face screen protector.

It'll get cheaper, I got my Nexus One one like 3 for $1 free ship LOL.

www.clearfreak.com looks like they sell front and back protectors. looks similar to invisibleshields (I dont like that style)

Might just buy the back, to protect the plastic from scratching.

30% off if you buy from their website with code "clearmas10"

Ugh, but he charges shipping if u buy on his website.

not a bad price, only $12 after the discount and picking first class mail as shipping option

To the "It's gorrilla glass" people, doesn't matter. It can still scratch. My Captivate has a very few small scratches on it. However, I still vastly prefer the naked glass to the noticable only under the right light and cleanliness scratches.
[Nexus S Accessories] Bicster_:
Do we know that it's gorilla glass? Since the screen is curved, all bets are off.

My favorite protectors are the ones by dcmugen88 (eBay) and Martin Fields. They are basically the same but Martin Fields is crazy expensive. Sadly dcmugen doesn't have any items for sale right now.
[Nexus S Accessories] thepoetvd776:
Saw this one in AMAZON. Doesn't look bad at all, ad lifetime replacement sounds nice.

[Nexus S Accessories] Kristoferallen:
Had a Samsung Fascinate that has a tiny scratch. You can barely see it unless you get the lighting just right on it but its still annoying. Of course I don't carry around diamonds or do anything rough with it but gorilla glass can be scratched by certain things so do your research. I have a Nexus S now and I probably plan on getting a screen protector this time but who knows. I just get thrown off with having to spray something on my device to get the InvisibleSHIELD on.

Clarivue's should be pretty good. They're applied by static, not adhesive.
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
The best protector is NO protector.

I haven't used a screen protector on any smartphone since my early iPhone days.

This includes every version of the iPhone made, the Palm Treo, the Nexus 1, the EVO 4G, the Samsung Vibrant, the Samsung i9000, and now the Nexus S.

Granted a couple of those models have Gorilla Glass, but I've not scratched any of them, with GG or not. I don't case the phones, and I keep them in the pocket with other stuff (not keys or change, though).

YMMV, but I think they're an unnecessary, and ugly, expense.

i just received mine today, had trouble putting it on.. keep getting air bubbles regardless of what i've tried, and im so experienced at putting on screen protectors.

[Nexus S Accessories] justsignbythex:

[Nexus S Accessories] deeren:
What about the size? Does it fit nicely?

I have spent more than 30 bucks on protectors, amzer, Chinese cheap ones, devdef, virkuitii but they all ended in the trash. ..they all have a problem...either they are too large and the borders do not stick or they are too small n look bad.

[Nexus S Accessories] metajames:
I pre ordered the seidio one and it just shipped. I think it will be a good one but i wont know until i try. I like using a screen protector but only the clear smooth kinds with silicone gel backing.

My favorate are the ones from power support but sadly only for apple products. I've also used the ones from boxwave and they produced a rainbow effect when viewed from certain angles.
[Nexus S Accessories] feng3060998:

[Nexus S Accessories] Lakewell:
Thanks for the heads up on these screen protectors. Just ordered the clear with the coupon. I have a zagg on right now, but it's orange peel city.
[Nexus S Accessories] DarkAgent:
Are these available from Amazon? I have an Amazon.com gift card and would like to use that instead of shelling cash straight out.
[Nexus S Accessories] konman795:
Applying those kinds of screen protectors require some sort of soapy water mixture. I've been putting these things on since my iPod video 5th gen, when Zagg was still known as just Invisible Shield.

From my experience with putting on Zagg Shields, Phantom Armor, and Best Skins ever, you want to use a water solution or it's impossible to make it look the way it is in their advertised pictures. If you have to make your own solution, use a big bowl of water or a spray bottle and add just

1 or 2 drops

of soap. It's also very important that you don't use hand soap, use dish washing soap.

If you're worried about it seeping into your electronics and frying it, then apply the shield with your device turned off and battery out. Then don't use your phone (as hard as it is) for 48 hours, that'll give it enough time for the water to evaporate if any small amount got into the device. I've never had any of my stuff fry on me though, I turn my device right back on after I apply these things (no patience and that's what accidental replacement plans are for!).
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
just a FYI

according to Samsung Tech Repair shops

inside the phone there is this coating that will turn green, whenever it touches water

Samsung will refuse repair for any phone that has "water" damage, even though it was not really damaged

we got several reports of this in the SGS forum

So use at your own risk, the water application of screen protection, it can void your warranty
[Nexus S Accessories] bcs127:
I just installed a BSE skin this weekend. Here's my experience so far.

Pros:

Intermediate level install (Need patience to let it cure)

Good touch response

Seems durable

Full phone coverage

Excellent fitment

Cons:

Slight orange peel look at certain angles (not as bad as the one from BB)

Side pieces feel a little too sharp.

Gas-out period

I'll probably remove the side pieces before too long. The edges feel too sharp for me; like I'm going to cut my finger or something when I hold the phone. The orange peel is manageable; far better than the one I got from BB when I first got the phone. The install was relatively easy, just took some patience waiting for it to cure and constant monitoring to make sure the parts around the curves were laid down properly. Overall I am happy with is so far.
