[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Why on earth would you get a Vibrant (complete with non-functional GPS) instead of a Nexus S?!
[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
Because the Nexus S has a non-present SD card expansion slot and costs more?

The screen and graphics processor are better, that's all.
[Nexus One General] cmarti:
The same or better than the nexus s?
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
I'm thinking of doing the same then loading a custom rom on it. Really want front facing camera and s-amoled.

But not looking fwd to Nexus S prices when it hits Canada. Still want Gingerbread though, even in custom rom form.
[Nexus One General] spielnicht:
With the Atrix [especially], Arc, Infuse and Inspire and the verge of being released, people are still going out and buying old sub-par Android devices? Makes no sense, if you waited this long, you could hold off for another couple of weeks.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Fixed :D (or should that be :()
[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
I like the Nexus S, but the lack of a SD card slot is a real deal-killer for me, even more so when you consider the fact that it's practically the same hardware as the other Galaxy S phones currently out. Gingerbread is nice, but not $500+ nice; plus, Wi-Fi calling doesn't work with it, which is a very useful feature for me.
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
I'd never go for Vibrant.

NS vs Vibrant

same screen

same CPU+GPU

NS has 16 GB of storage wich is more than enough I dunno what ppl have on their phones so that they need more storage...

NS has Ginger 2.3

NS is being adopted by custom firmware builders on a bigger scale than Vibrant specialy CyanogenMod 7

Wifi calling can be added in custom roms if you are on the right carrier ofcourse

probably more stuff but this comes to mind first.
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
I only upgrade when my phone (PC) stops doing what I want it to do.
[Nexus One General] mrcrassic:
UMA/GAN hasn't been ported over to Gingerbread yet and probably won't be for a while. (It still hasn't been issued to T-Mobile devices other than the myTouch4G and G2.) Until the compatible libraries start floating around (i.e. when both of those phones get an update, or when T-Mobile chooses a new phone to include it with), Gingerbread users are left in the cold here. (Unless you're idea of wifi calling is getting a different number and a Gizmo5 account, with some backend work to blend it with GVoice).
[Nexus One General] cashyftw:
Welcome to the Vibrant world, but if your into hacking and such, I would of went with the SNS (nexus S) there is a lot more development going on over there :( I remember when the Vibrant had that much Development.
[Nook Color General] pavlos46:
Hey

Just got my brand new NC and for some reason the top part of the sceen just won't easily accept input.

It took me almost 100 tries to activate the slider in setcpu.

Any ideas. ?

Thanks Pavlos
[Nook Color General] ThrowingKs:
You can try this:

http://nookdevs.com/Recalibrate_the_NookColor_touch_screen
[Nook Color General] myv6mustang:
Did this work?
[Nook Color General] pavlos46:
Yep tried that to no success.

Anything else?

Also just noticed in Market that I cannot see any payied apps.
[Nook Color General] x-ravin:
I too have had a lot of trouble with the top edge of the touchscreen, luckily I don't use it too much so it doesn't bother me.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
All 4 corners of the screen are very unresponsive for me.

For example, on the new Market, I can pretty much NEVER hit the search button in the top right corner of the screen. I have grown accustomed to pressing Menu then Search instead of using that on-screen button.

Is this not how everyone's NC is?
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Mine is not as responsive, but I do not have that bad of a problem with it.
[Nook Color General] bonzer2u:
same here....
[Nook Color General] pavlos46:
You suggest thats unfixable....:confused:
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
in my case the newer market search button works a lot better than the previous one. still, far from great
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
Ive had the same exact issue. And can be replicated if you turn the device upside down, all 4 corners have to be touched multiple times in-order for it to register.

best way to test is in portrait mode and trying to hit the search button, tap once a second, unresponsive.....4 times in a sec and it will highlight once.
[Nook Color General] phantom9000:
download the lcddensity app in the market place and change it to 180 that worked for me
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
Not exactly sure how changing the lcd density would fix this....downloaded anyway...applied...still doesn't work

What is funny though is that TouchTest the screen is insanely responsive on all areas on the screen from edges to multitouch. So im not entirely sure what the deal is.
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
Sometime I have to apply a little pressure to the back of the nook to get those parts of the screen to work. Pressing the bezel a little also helps. The larger density will make buttons easier to press because they are bigger. Small buttons/icons at the corners/edges of a screen are a pain. I bumped mine up to 240. Nice big juicy buttons.

Sent from Nook Color (Nookie Froyo on emmc)
[Nook Color General] tech_head:
I have the same here. Corners not responsive.

Not a big issue for me.

I also have the screen protector on.
[Nook Color General] thel8elvis:
Corners here also. Irritates me every time I try to search market.
[Nook Color General] IM0001:
Both NC I have used have the exact same sensitivity issue. It may just be part of the stock NC Kernel that is causing it for some odd reason. It is not completely impossible to work with but it is a bit of a hassle. It is really apparent in the Astro app manager/backup. When you go to check an app to uninstall, it takes like 20 taps to try and check the box to uninstall an app. Odd how it gives me trouble there but in other apps it has no problem whatsoever. Software based issue it feels.
[Nook Color General] GTOMEX09:
The response from edges of screen is my biggest irritant when using the NC. It did get a LITTLE better for me when I did the recalibration linked to in 2nd post with my NC laying flat on a table with the lcd facing down.
[Nook Color General] exactor_mortis:
I thought that's just how it was.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
HAHAHAHAH me too!!! I just figured maybe soft keys rendered the actual market search button unusable or something. Wow....well, hopefully it won't start to annoy me now that I know it's supposed to work :D
[Nook Color General] EsotericPunk:
So, I have the same problem, In the game Alchemy icons on the top are tough to select and the search icon for the market is tough to activate. But here's the strange thing... if I go to the B&N reader (from the stock B&N Home), I have no trouble at all clicking on the bookmark in the upper right corner to mark a page. That has led me to believe that it may not be the screen that is the problem. Can anyone else confirm that the bookmark is considerably more responsive than the market search icon (for instance)?
[Nook Color General] exactor_mortis:
Frankly, it doesn't much matter to me. I naturally use the bottom buttons anyway as my hand isn't big enough to reach the top market search button, as an example. It'd be nice if it worked perfectly, but it's certainly liveable for now. :)
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
Setting the LCD density to 204 helped me.
[Nook Color General] lucifurious:
I played with the density and settled on 180. Works best with ADW.

Sent from my kickass rooted NookColor!
[Nook Color General] cfi on the fly:
That is exactly how mine behaves and exactly what I have to do also.
[Nook Color General] doomstalk:
The edges and corners have been very unresponsive on both of the Nook Colors I've tried. I assume changing the density mostly just moves buttons/links to more sensitive areas of the screen.
[Nook Color General] jleecong:
When running the pointer location dev tool on mine I noticed that the accuracy of the corners were way off. For example touching just at the edge of the top left (like where the search button is in the market app) shows the location all the way in the top left instead of where I'm actually touching.

I find tapping slightly (very slightly like cm) lower left of the search icon works fine. Some apps are more sensitive than others.

That all being said the pointer location registered every touch no problem, so the screen is nice and sensitive.
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
Heres MBMs responce from IRC plus some lulz i had with him at my expense, some ppl can dish but cant take being dished back at lol

If you download TouchTest hes pretty much dead on, anything touched near the corner registers or "snaps back" to the corner, this pretty much happened around the perimeter of the nook on mine personally. Prolly something that can be fixed, more of an annoyance than anything, but for what I paid for this thing, I can defiantly live with it.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I seem to have temporarily "fixed" this by pressing in my corners a bit. Perhaps the panels are just not glued together enough in the corners, so pressing inward from the front and back seems to have alleviated it...

I can press the Market search button with ease; barely touch my finger there at all and it works.

Anyone else care to try?
[Nook Color General] lifeisfun:
I had the same feeling but it's not consistent.

Sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't
[Nook Color General] exactor_mortis:
It's odd.

Market, the search icon might as well not be there. Appbrain, I can hit it (or the menu button next to it), pretty much every time.
[Nook Color General] lucifurious:
Get the free app called LCDDensity and set it to 180 or 200.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InspectorFrost:

with perevious AOSP roms ive got around the small MMS size by using Handcent and used Iphone 3 settings and turning off the auto retrieve and notifications on the stock app.

this doesn't seem to work for me on Gingerbread , not sure why, anyone any ideas ?!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratfink:
I believe i have a problem with my Nexus S's screen. Where things should be grey they are very purple, but other times like in a picture grey object are grey! So could someone check for me by telling me what colour their notification background is. Mine is very obviously purple and i will upload a picture as proof, is this just me or are others experiencing this issue? Thanks

(You can tell by looking at the notification bar and then at the notification drop down area that the bar is black and the notif area is purple-y)

EDIT: After messing with brightness i can confirm this is only happening to me when mine is below around 25%, can others confirm this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoms04:
Mine is dark grey
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
whats your brightness setting?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratfink:
Auto

My brightness was set to auto when that picture was taken, auto puts it down to below 25%. If i manually set my brightness to below 25% the notif area is very purple, if i set it to anything above about 60-70% then it goes normal and grey!?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortician10101:
Hey there XDA.

i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.

Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.

We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as another app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )

So, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.

Any ideas?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Hi,

I'm kind of unclear about what you're looking for, from your post, I guess because there could be any number of interpretations, e.g.:

- Are you asking if an Android device could be joined to your Windows domain?

- Are you asking if you can "see" shares on your Windows machines from Android?

- Are you asking if you can RDP to a Windows machine from Android?

- Etc.?

Probably (I think) #1 above is "no", at least as far as I can see now (plus I don't know if it'd make sense).

The answer to the 2nd and 3rd are "yes".

For #2, either you can use something like ES File Explorer, or you can use CIFS Manager on an Android machine that has CIFS support.

For #3, Pocketcloud can do that (the one from Wyse), and there are a few more.

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortician10101:
Thanks for the reply, and yes i was looking to concentrate more around number 1. If number 1 were to be solved, number 2 would end up working out perfectly, with no security risks (becuase the shared files are only available to domain devices or thin clients using the VPN/RDP services we have setup). I guess looking at it from another angle, we would probably be able to (theoretically) limit a user's access capabilities on the tablet so that a general user could still be able to access the file shares using VPN without creating a security risk...

as you can see i currently have a whole lot running around in my head, and i'm not even sure if i'm mkaing it sound like english... T_T
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2manytoys:
I use my Zpad for work, the business apps I use:

Touchdown (for exchange, would like spell checker though)

File Expert (access shares)

Xtralogic Remote Desktop (works VERY well, better than PocketCloud and worth the $25)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
It sounds like you're looking for something like PAM authentication capability from the Gtab. I know that there are products that do that for *nix, but I'm not aware of anything specifically for Android. Then again I think that there are public domain implementations, so it might be possible. Sorry that I can't be more help :(...

[Epic 4G General] 265ada:
How to clear Text entry history? in the phone? I hate that I have a bunch of mispelled words in skype.... my girlfriends daughter is to blame for this? example "you" she has spelled it "youuuuuu" so sometimes while swyping I get that there are more but this one bugs me the most!
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Its easy if the word is youuuuu then type it spelled exactly the same. Then hit the space bar just once. Now double tap the word until it highlights then hit the swype key. That's the key with the i and the blue swype logo. A menu pops up and asks you to delete the word.
[Epic 4G General] 265ada:
Thanks so much man

You rock =d would be nice if Swype had a way of accessing the dictionary! I would like to add possibles for passwords and email configurations!
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
To add any words, just type a word then a space, then swype the same word and it will pop up. ex. My email address is middle##ller@gmail.com (its censored for spam reasons). I swype middle##ller then hold the "w"key for 2 seconds making the "@" then swype gmail then swype the .com. .com .net, .org are all stored in swype, but you can't do passwords swype won't allow it.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
To delete anything that you may have accidentally added you can also go to (from home screen)

Menu > settings > applications > manage applications

up at the top, hit "all"

scroll down to swype then hit "clear data", then yes.

NOW you're starting from scratch with Swype's built in dictionary.

If you want to add words, see the above posts. I find it necessary (after tapping in a few words of my own and misspelling those) that they show up as suggestions sometimes LOL.. It can get annoying :)

Hope this helps

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
The sleep power consumption looks about what i'm getting. If you want to save more battery, turn off the radio at night.

Your battery readout is not accurate. It gives a snapshot at that instant in time. To get really accurate results, you need more samples/second. More samples/second will consume more battery, so it's a compromise. Look at your % drop over a period of time.
