[Galaxy Tab General] platinum27x:
For the Galaxy tab all the models are different carrier wise almost like all the galaxy s phones correct? Then why are there not different sections for sprint t-mob orange etc. I have a sprint tab, would I be able to do the same things everyone else with a tab can do from another carrier?

Wondering if there is a version of the vanilla lockscreen with music controls so I won't have to unlock my phone and navigate to the music app everytime I want to change a song.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
CM 6.1.1 stable has them
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] omegasun18:
you can get them with the paid version of mixzing on sense roms as well as widgetlocker and a few other ways WITHOUT having to change rom to cm
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chaoticallysweet:
The free version of 3 cubed allows you to add a widget to the lock screen w/o having to change roms.:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] live2ride96:
Pretty sure if you want the vanilla lockscreen, you need to flash an AOSP rom, or use Widgetlocker. The Cyanogen rom that someone suggested will fit the bill, widget and all. However, if you are in fact ok with the sense lockscreen, several music players, like Poweramp, Mixzing, etc. will cover ya.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
you have to have front facing camera ( front and back ) becoz you cant see who you are video calling with if your screen is facing the other way..

i dont even think it works with only a back facing camera..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapinkerton:
Tango (from the market) works fine using just the back camera.. You just have to get creative and stand in front of the mirror our something like that if you actually want to see eachother.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
FFC is not required,but also depends on the app. you would see the other person if your camera is facing you tho,unless u stand in from of the mirror.

~Tango has been the most popular IMO. iOS and Android users can vid chat

~Yahoo IM does video chat with other phones and computer

~Cracked Skype does video call with other skype users

~Oovoo supposedly came out,but i havent been able to find it in the market
[Nexus S General] Michigan Jason:
Ok, I am in michigan, and went to the best buy in madison hts. I got the $199 upgrade and the phone was supposed to be shipped yesterday (thursday) and I was supposed to get it today (friday.) No phone yet and it is 6:45pm here. I never got a tracking number or anything. I called best buy and they said I am the 5th person who has called saying the same thing and they have absolutely no answer for me yet and said you will get the phone when you get it. I am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem in their respective areas when doing the $199 upgrade. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

[G Tablet General] juda222000:
First off can't put it down, this thing is insane an I didn't even hack it yet. (Waiting to go buy a micro SD card) Got a couple of questions. I use iTunes and would like to stream my library to my g tablet, is there a compadiable app,or do ibhave to move my library to windows media player, if so is there an app that will allow me to control my library like iPhones remote app? And lastly any kick a$$ apps out there? In the short time I've had it found a killer emulator and spent the day kicking it old school...lol thanks in advanced to all who respond.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Unfortunately I can't suggest an iTunes sync app as I don't use it.

As for killer apps, you might want to mention some of your interests in a tablet - ie. video playback (Rockplayer), ebooks (Aldiko), comics (ACV or JJComics Viewer) etc.

Podcasts

Any suggestions on getting podcasts to sync? Using doubletwist doesn't exactly work properly; audio podcasts show up as playlists, not podcasts, which is OK, but video podcasts don't work at all.

Does anyone use any other program that will actually automatically download podcasts? It seems like most of the apps I've looked at are written for phones with 3g connections to listen to streaming podcasts, which the G-tab obviously doesn't do.

thanks
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
You can use .podkast or google listen.
[G Tablet General] wnbowman:
I've used BeyondPod previously and works pretty well. It would be perfect if it were free, but i guess $7.00 is not too much of a price to pay after the trial is over.
[G Tablet General] Nduston:
Google listen seems to work for some people, but not others; I am apparently one of the others, because it will only stream and I can't figure out how to make it download, even though I've told it to do so.

I'm thinking of trying beyondpod or doggcatcher, but don't really want to pay until I know they'll work. Guess I'll go for the free trial.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Well I used to cause a big fit about the N1's HTC would warranty swap me because of this issue. The first N1 I purchased didnt have this problem. I just bought the NS today and right away I noticed the same exact issue. Is it safe to say that maybe this should be considered a normality rather than a defect?
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Its actually the Amoled tech itself...It cant reproduce whites perfectly so they come out cool....thats why its off a bit but in return you get exact blacks

Lcd's are opposite...you get real whites but no real blacks.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
It shows up in certain shades of grey, like in contacts and in clock dimmed while set on lowest brightness setting. The whites and other colors display fine.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Yeah i saw that too but thats the OS thats doing that so you should be cool
[Nexus S General] xpooz:
Is it either on the bottom or top? I have watched a YouTube unboxing video clip says that when you browse with your nexus s to the top of the page, or the the lowest of the page, it will actually dimmed darker. This is to let you know you have reached the lowest or highest of the page. You couldn't scroll anymore .
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
No, it has nothing to do with scrolling. It's exactly what I've said. Also I'm pretty positive its not a software issue. It's definitely the display. It must be either new materials Samsung is using for there displays or a calibration issue!
[Nexus S General] aimfire72:
I also noticed this today, the purplish tint while on lowest screen brightness in a very dark room. If you bump up the brightness slightly, it goes away.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Nothin for me. No tint.
[Nexus S General] barmanham:
For me when I have the screen off I notice there is a purple tint to it compared to say a vibrant maybe that is the cause of you're problem
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
what i'm speaking of shows only while the screen is on.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
This is right on the money. Same exact issue with my N1 and now i see it with the NS. I notice this on the N1's because my very 1st purchased unit displayed perfectly without any kind of discoloration after dimming the brighness below 50%. Soon after I warranty exchanged that unit for another, I recieved one with the tint issue. After I exchanged a couple more times, I recieved another without the tint issue but the touchscreen problem was much worse than the others i've had so i sent that one in. After that, i havent received one without the tint problem yet. I bought the NS expecting not to see this problem again and lo and behold, it surfaced as soon as i dimmed below 50%.
[Nexus S General] Psosmith82:
I checked out the demo phones, and every one had it on the lowest brightness setting. I think it has something to do with the new colors in the OS. If everything was black, it would be harder to see, so they use a little purple to differentiate when on a low brightness setting. You dont have to turn the brightness up much to make it go away
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
The issue I'm speaking about, it doesn't literally "go away" in the manner you might be thinking. Its just that certain shades of greys are affected by it. Here's how to test for it, goto a dimmly lighted area and set the brightness thru the power widget to highest. Next, goto the dialpad on your NS, and notice the bar topright below the menu tabs, it should be grey. Now go back to your power widget and switch brightness to lowest setting. Go back to the dialpad and look at that bar again. It still should remain grey no matter how I adjust the brightness levels, but instead it'll shift to a light purplish hue.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
It's because of the amoled screen uses the pentile sub pixel layout. I thought this was well known. All Samsung amoled screens do this as the all use pentile sub pixel layout, which many people hate as the feel its not as good as the true 3 sub pixel layout screens. And It's true it is not as good, but I still prefer it over non amoled screens, crap pentile and all.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Yes I know about the subixel stuff with the amoled displays, but I have to disagree with you as far as all of them display this way. As I've mentioned before, I've had 2 N1's without this issue. I'm gonna go back to BB to see if they can open a couple so that I can do some comparisons.
[Nexus S General] aimfire72:
As I said, mine is this way too, but went to 2 BB's tonight and checked out the demo models at each store. They both had the weird purple tint as well, on those few shades of gray, like you pointed out. I also watched the Engadget video review and could see the purples on their phone too. I think all the NS's are like this, just the way the screen is. Perhaps in a software update, they could tweak the colors a bit and fix it.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
actually

this is not true. i had to go around 4 Galaxy S screens and finally i was able to find one without pinkish color in it in low brightness.

if you want to tell if you have pinkish hue. download a solid dark gray wallpaper. turn the brightness to low. if you see it pink. then you have defective screen. i repeat. its a defective screen. dont justify your self with it.

i went through 4 galaxy S and i was able to find one where white is actually white and closer the the cool blue. not a friggin pink

and its not amoled screen either. the iphone 4 is same issue. go to macrumors forum and check for your self.

i went through like 6 iphones to get one with cool blue and no yellow tint in it.

the difference is light and day now when i compare my iphone 4 to my other friends.

if you have an OCD with this " because i do. i have OCD for light leakage, same black level the whole screen, yellow/pink tint on the screen in low settings "

the whole phone to me is nothing but a big screen. if they f*** that up. then its useless
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
its not a software problem.

its hardware issue. when my phone with pinkish tint along with my brother one didnt have one, i thought it could be a software issue, and we even both implimented the voodoo fix : galaxy S : and still looked different.

its a hardware issue. and i really think you need to change your phone. because if you are like me, who cares alot about his phone, then once you see someone with a nexus S and you compare the whites and the gray colors on both phones. you will be one sad panda.

hell put the brightness up to the max even. you will still see the difference in white level between a pinkish/yellow tint screen and cool blue one. its not even funny :/
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Yes I'm definitely OCD'd on this issue lol. I'm still not total convinced that this a defect yet. Ill be going to a few BB's today to do some comparisons. If I do find one without the tint, then cot dammit, shame on Samsung for allowing this to slip thru on these screens again! Ill report my findings later.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
My NS suffers from this horribly on top of the bad touchscreen issues it also has. Def. a defective unit
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
OK I went to a few BB and I ran across an NS that displayed correctly with all brightness settings. I spoke with the rep and she also verified that my unit did look much different from hers when comparing the two.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
the problem is you cant install a memory card in the phone. with my adventure with the galaxy S problems. i downloaded some wallpapers and kept them in my memory . whenever i find a galaxy S i inserted it to the device and low the setting with the dark gray wallpapers. or increase the brightness in a solid white wallpaper. and sometimes my brother phone " was galaxy S " at that time too. had a perfect screen.

so i kept searching till i found an even better screen than my brothers. granted it took me like 1 month between used market and new devices. but i stayed happy :/

and now i did the same thing with i phone4. i dont have a yellow screen or whatsoever. only cool blue that you can see the white is actually white. i did pay around 700$ for my iphone. extra than everyone else . and its 16Gb too only/. but every time i look at it. a grin of smile in my face. now i am happy till like the next iphone or whatever phone i decided to buy. then my quest will start again.

its almost like i am in a video game and i want to find my treasure.

kinda sad but hey. it makes me happy when i get what i want.

i dont want to end up with bad screen. specially when my friend iphone who is very close to me and i see him almost daily USED to have a better screen than mine lol. now he is pissed and he is the one who goes to the market to find a phone like mine.

he even offered me 200$ if i swipe his phone with mine lolol
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
lol yeah i see what you are saying. The phone i comnpared mine to was a BB rep demo unit. She said that her specific unit wasn't from the batches sent to her store and that it probably wouldnt make any sense to exchange for another one now because the batches of NS sent to her store and others near are more likely all produced with that same off color display. She advised that i wait till nest week to see if the next batch of NS displays are manufactured better. So I decided to take her advice! Even if i did use modified wallpapers, the fact that i now know my screen is not 100% would completely urk me till i replace it with a properly functioning one. I'm OCD'd for sure lol.....Other than this issue, im completely sold on the NS. I've heavily consider switching from AT&T's $80.00/month GF plan(unlimited internet, 200 mms, unlimited txt, 900 talk mins, free mobile to mobile, rollovers) to T-mobile's $69.99 even more plan.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
good thing she is very supportive.

when i went to the apple store. the tards there were trying to tell me my phone is perfect. they really should name them tards.

as for the 80$ a month. i find that abit expensive. yeah nice unlimited internet . you can get free internet in your laptop too from your mobile which is nice. but i am also a gamer and i pay for the cable a high price to get good connection on my ps3 and 360. or for downloading movies etc.

so 80$ for phone charge every month plus like 60$ or so for cable at apartment is way too much for me just for an internet.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
She wasn't understanding right off, not until she saw for herself. I'm gonna try to hit up a couple more BB's tomorrow to see if I can grab one that's to my liking.
[Nexus S General] Psosmith82:
If your phone has a pink display, there is a problem. If theres a slight purple hue on the lowest brigtness setting (which is what the OP was talking about) thats going to be normal with this display, and this phones darker 2.3 OS colors
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
lol its the same issue. the only pink you will see is when your display is at low setting pink/purple. depends on how extremly bad its.

and yellow when the brightness is the highest. you might either get warm yellow white or cool blue white.

both pink/purple is bad for low setting AND warm yellow white is bad in high.
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
Any shade of a color changing into another color after adjusting the brightness setting is not considered normal. I probably would've thought this before seeing a properly calibrated unit.
[Captivate General] oriongaby:
Haha you got me with the last sentence.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
agreed

I agree with what you said. I had an iPhone but couldn't stand to keep it for the full two years so I got rid of it early and got a Captivate. I jailbroke the iPhone and had the same experience you describe. I can't say that any of the jailbreak apps/tweaks were really an improvement over stock iOS, although they do slow the phone down pretty badly and cause it to crash frequently. I haven't rooted my captivate yet (still a few more weeks of getting used to the unrooted captivate) but even unrooted android is vastly more customizable than the iPhone. I just got ADW launcher and none of the regular/jailbroken iPhone apps could do anything like it.

Note one difference between the two: you can install only apps and "tweaks" into a jailbroken iPhone (like 'custom icons'), while you can install custom ROMs/OSs into the android. The iOS source code is not released publicly so devs can't modify the entire OS like they can with android. It is hard, in my opinion, to justify jailbreaking an iPhone because it adds nothing important, but does slow the phone down and make it crash.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOIXGSR:
I know enough to know that I know very little about these phones, without going into too much detail, I know that the Nexus S is basically a Galaxy S with a fresh, without any bloatware, install of gingerbread. Is there going to be an official release of 2.2 or 2.3 that contains just Android, and does not have anything from Samsung that will slow down my phone? Also, what are the possibilities that the Xperia X10 will be able to run gingerbread because from what I can see, it is pretty much the same as the Captivate except for the OS, and has a 8mp camera with flash which is something I really want.

To make a long story short, I want the latest and greatest Android (Gingerbread) with a real nice camera, preferably with a flash, for AT&T and pretty much for free. Too much to ask? lol:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
I think you've mistaken this place as the Santa Wishlist Forum :D

I really wanted to give Samsung the chance to prove me wrong after the Moment. The big S only cares about selling a phone. Service afterwards? Forget it. Updates? Forget them too.

The fact that we are still officially still on 2.1 with them rolling out a brand new phone with virtually identical hardware and putting 2.3 on it and letting Google push out anything they want to it, is a real slap in the face to their current customers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
Hardware wise, yes, the X10 is capable of running 2.3. The question though, is whether or not it will ever get an official release. A custom 2.3 rom will probably get ported over to it, but official releases are never a guarantee. Especially considering the X10 JUST got 2.1 about 2 months ago. I wouldn't expect to see an official build for it. IMO.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOIXGSR:
So solely based on hardware, isn't the Xperia a better phone? If both the Captivate and Xpreria will most likely never get an official release of 2.3, and therefore require a custom ROM, why wouldn't I want to go with the Xperia that will have better hardware?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
What makes you think the hardware is better? More MP in the camera?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOIXGSR:
Pretty much, yeah. lol, forgive my ignorance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I would reviews on both phones and then go play with them. Samsung is one of the most moddable phones - so even if no official Gingerbread comes out, we may get a custom ROM before anyone. Sony Ericsson has been floundering for a while - they may not even be making handsets in a year - not trying to scare you, but the truth is that they are a minor blip in the phone world - not what they once were.

As for the camera - depends what you want to do. if you email and text all your pics, then why the megapixels? The photos will be shrunk to 3MP camera size or smaller. Unless you print 8x10 glossies, do you need more MP?

Granted you will get a great camera and audio experience from the device - but so much of buying a phone is personal preference - only you can decide what is right for you.
