[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I'm taking a week off work out in Russia's snowy countryside and have finally had the time to fiddle with some advanced settings available to the galaxy tab. Here are some foibles I've discovered. Also there are some issues that have been raised by people in the general section.

Consider this a reevaluation of my stickied review thread. I don't think any of these detract from the tab in any serious way - most actually improve it!

LCD density - I've had this set to 200 for the last three months, but always wanted to try out lower settings. Interestingly, setting it to 180 changes the stock phone icon to one that looks like a landline set. I can only assume that touchwiz must have been tested on lower density screens.

At 180 web pages are almost perfect in Fennec (I'm using the nightlies with opengl in fullscreen).

Camera - changing the LCD density made some mess out of the camera, especially wrecking the scrolling menus. The riticle gets stuck in the top 3rd of the screen. Also one still can't use both camera and music at the same time.

Saturation/ chroma - changing black and white density levels drastically lowers the battery life of the device for me. Color saturation above stock also has this effect. I'd be interested to know if others are seeing similar results.

Airplane mode - I've talked a lot about this in various threads, but many people would have missed it. In effect airplane mode dramatically increases battery life by physically switching off all the radios.

Services - I don't use the integrated Facebook app, so physically killing the sns service also seems to improve battery life and performance for me. I wonder, is it possible to remove Facebook entirely via titanium? Or would this mess with core functionality?

I also have no need for text to speech, but find that gtalk and tts seem to be unkillable. On my milestone removing either would lead to random fcs. Is this the case on the tab?

How do I find out if my MT4G has NAND protection? In case it's relevant, I'm rooted with S-OFF, running ClockworkMod recovery image and a CyanogenMod ROM.

Hello,

I am planning to buy Motorola ROKR S9–HD bluetooth headphone.But not sure whether it is fully compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000mobile phone.

There are song forward - next - pause function located at the headphone and I am not sure whether it will work on my phone.

Please help.

here is link to product page

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v...nnel=b49932a609e89110VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
It should work just fine, I have several A2DP headsets with AVRCP profile (media controls), and all work fine with my SGS. Moto bluetooth products have always treated me well in the past.

That said there is nothing like confirmation from an actual user, hopefully someone can chime in for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DJBnJack:
I bought this version off DX:

dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34156

It looks exactly like the "real deal" and works perfectly with the SGS. Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hotsync100:
I have the S9-HD and it works perfectly with my SGS. All the buttons ( Forward, Prev , pause ) works with the stock Music Player.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
They might "look" the same but if you get your hands on a real deal, you'll see they are miles apart!

Got a pair of "made in china" ordered on http://www.alibaba.com/ (these are conterfeit) for not much and batterry lasted about an hour, was unflexible but still pretty acceptable for the price paid.

Then got a pair of real S9-HD and the thing is realy woth the extra (paid 50ish$ on newegg.ca). Battery holds 8 hours, feels soft and flexible and charges takes less time.

First pair was kinda more "Plastic" feel, real one where more "rubber"... kinda like cheap gasket vs. real OEM for a car!

BTW: all Fx buttons works on SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] napster_doom:
Thanks for the reply.

Now I am going to purchase this thing ASAP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jfrisbee:
My Playback Controls Don't Work

I'm having trouble with the controls on my S9-HD headset. The volume up/dn works fine, but the play/pause, fwd, rwd don't work. When I press them, they just make a sound, but nothing changes. It sounds like other people aren't having this problem. Does anyone know why I'm having trouible with this? I don't know if I have a setting wrong or something, but it would be great to have those controls available. I've tried them with the stock music player as well as the Double Twist player I got from the market. I'm pretty sure my headset is a legitimate pair. I bought them from Newegg about a week ago for about $50 and they came wrapped in the manufacturer's packaging. I have them paired with my Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile).

Any help is really apprecaited!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
Does the control for calling and such works?

NewEgg sells refurb, I had to return the first pair I got from them, still a great service though, but kind of an hassle!
[Xperia Arc General] mety333:
well I live in vegas and I went to ces especially to see and test the new XPERIA ARC.

Well, its super thin and super fast heh.

The.timescape app looks.a bit different and the new timescape and media scape widgets are wayyy cooler cuz u can just browse all the 'cards' on ur home screen without opening the actual apps.

The transitions are fast and lag free but like every other phone there was a mil second lag once.in a while.

The app drawer looks different a bit, it horizonally and every page has a folder like frame.

As for the device hardware it.is a VERY slick a business like type of phone, u know the type of phone u wear a suit for lol and look like an important business man.

It is very slim and super light. The arc like design is really nice too.

The new bravia engine does make pictures look way better when taken in the dark and the screen itself is very colorful bright.and sharp.

As u can see in the picture bellow they had both colors at the show, the silver and the supposesly blue one which looks totally black.

The stuff I didn't like about this phone are the fact that the camera button is super small and it doesn't have the half press focus button like the x10.

the usb port was on the side like the x1, not sure if its good or bad heh

And of course my BIGGEST complaint.... we won't be able to have this super cool slick phone in WHITE color :-(

And yes I just made this all topic from my beloved white x10 eh.

Enjoy the pics.

I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D
[Xperia Arc General] benzmar:
We are in the world of 3G and 4G.

Where is the front camera for face calls?

Is it not the most needed in such high end phone in this era?

Can we add the front camera before releasing it out?
[Xperia Arc General] qwer23:
Seems to be a regional phenomenon, but in Germany i NEVER EVER saw anyone video calling. Nobody does this here and nobody seems to care about front facing camera either.

Germans, correct me if you think I'm wrong.
[Xperia Arc General] soldiers33:
havent ever seen one person yet who uses video calls.
[Xperia Arc General] OCEP:
People are conservative in Europe. Showing emotions in public is dangerous and it's impossible not to when you're video-calling someone. :p

As for the ARC … It's another illusion, just like the rest of the Xperia line. Good hardware, promising project, but a developer not very fond of software development and open-source programming, hence the bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] hamed1297:
4 me SE is dead....
[Xperia Arc General] chongbh:
Thanks for your review and photos, I cannot wait for it to be available in Singapore soon.

No regrets having my X10 besides other brands of Android despite SE delay in the firmware upgrade but overall the user experience is superb as I do not have any occasion that my phone will hang and I have to remove battery to restart the phone compared to other brands.

Xperia Arc is my next phone after my X10. :p
[Xperia Arc General] raundown:
Qualcomm MSM8255 is a mistake, that is so 2010
[Xperia Arc General] mobz:
Almost outdated hardware, stupid aftersales service, slow software development? I've learned my lesson with X1 and X10.. Won't be rushing for this one..

Better to get that Motorola, the one you can plug to a thing to create a laptop..
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
Exactly.

SE... never again!
[Xperia Arc General] freco:
+1000.

Never again.
[Xperia Arc General] ChrisMCP:
No front camera - no sale! I refuse to to buy anything from SE that is less hardware-wise than Iphone.
[Xperia Arc General] quattre222:
What the OS this hane on ces ? 2.3 or 2.4 ?
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
You are right, I don't know about Germany, but here in Norway i've never seen someone using front facing camera for video calls :)
[Xperia Arc General] alexed9:
Been playing with the i-thing.. hated it... dousnt work how it should...

My x10 on the other hand...dous what its suppost to do! it looks great works fast so.... next phone?? i dont know yet!! arc maybe?? def no HTc they look so cheap.. motorola?? no go so..... choices!!! :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] alexed9:
Never seen it in Holland either!!
[Xperia Arc General] TechGuru_x10:
Not even in india.
[Xperia Arc General] arkedk:
Was introduced in Denmark back in the '05/'06. Never really caught on.
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
Never seen video calling actually being used here in Canada either.
[Xperia Arc General] Bennachie:
Biggest mistake is not having the charge port on the bottom of the phone. Don't understand why they do that.....................:(
[Xperia Arc General] saltorio:
I agree that it's more convenient from a dock standpoint, but it's actually far less convenient when your using the phone while plugged in (on a desk for example), or while sitting in a non-dock stand while plugged in.

Headphone jack should be on top though, IMO.
[Xperia Arc General] mepHy:
Our x10 is not getting further updates to better android versions because its almost the same hardware ....

Nobody would buy a phone like this if our X10i would have the same android os ^^

FU SE ! Never again !

and thanks to all the guys who worked for our Phone (JIT, Bootloader, root etc ....)
[Xperia Arc General] :
You mean this?: http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhgoq02FhS9trhEyuqw-5Nev1SxKbw

Yeah, after my Xperia X10 I'll consider something like that Motorola too, after seeing its specs. thinking about getting a Xperia Arc sounds ridiculous.
[Xperia Arc General] mety333:
It had 2.3, and the rest of the interface resembled the x10 mostly

I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D
[Xperia Arc General] quattre222:
volum is beter ant louder tahn x10 ?
[Xperia Arc General] mety333:
didnt try any media on it, basiucally went through all the apps and the menus
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
Most of the specs are useless, 4G is not available everywhere, 1 Gb ram doesn't make any difference

let me put it that way... no one knows about the OS's requirements more than Google, and when they released their flagship phone with 512 mb ram then it means this is what 2.3 os needs... future OS might need more

For the video calling and front-face camera, I never saw anyone using it either, actually people only mention that just to show-off their phone's spec
[Xperia Arc General] j4mm3r:
Back in '07-08 Rogers had video calling via circuit switching. I had a K850i that had a front facing camera. Could only call others with the same phone and the price of a video call were sky high... no wonder that it died.

Video calling over packet data is a different beast however. Haven't you seen anyone use a webcam doing video chat? With phones it will be same... with the proper software its just that. Google Talk, Skype and what not... I think it'll catch on.
[Xperia Arc General] aussiesausage:
i wonder if this phone will work.

they will release 2.4 or what ever comes after 2.3

and the same crap will happen, it will **** the phone, cause peoples phones to restart

im thinking of passing on this and getting a HD7, i've had enough of SE
[Xperia Arc General] mobz:
Yes, yes that thing..

But then, it can plug in to some keyboard, which actually useful as I'm always carrying my phone and a small laptop anywhere (saves me from iPad, this thing). Who cares about 4G? :p
[Xperia Arc General] ChrisMCP:
with all those skype enabled TVs coming out in 2011 a front camera is a must, and as of myself - I would use it, and the only thing that prevents me is that my x10a does not even have a proper back camera flash, let alone the front facing camera. Yes I know, it was not a big deal back in april 2010 when I got it, but now it is a huge selling point, imo.
[Xperia Arc General] :
But the double-core proccessor should make a significant difference.

This.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
4G

OK guys,

This maybe a little off topic but, I wanted to clarify that there is NO 4G yet. Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are all FALSELY advertising their networks to be 4G and they are not!

Here is a nice article about this.
[Xperia Arc General] mootmaina:
For me SE is dead for phones. They may learn from their mistakes but for me its beyond repair.... by by SE, just a pitty im stuck with you for another 1.5 years.
[Xperia Arc General] MJ_QaT:
LoL enjoy your Xperia for 1.5 years more :p

On my experience, I really enjoyed the solid 2.1 more than my Samsung Galaxy Tab's 2.2 which I faced many bugs in it even with updates :)

for me, my next two phones are ( Xperia Arc, Xperia Zeus )
[Xperia Arc General] li2le:
How many people use it in America? None.
[Xperia Arc General] Bestevaer:
So we can note that a front facing camera is useless. It won't convince me and many others about the benefits...... What do you intend to do, make a videocall while in the car, on a bike or in a train?

The situation it can be used is so rare (mostly at home?). But at home you have a PC with skype.....

Front facing cameras where never ever usefull since there launch, in what, 2005?
[Xperia Arc General] sidneylopsides:
I was lucky enough to get to CES and play with the Arc too, it is really nice.

Looks and feels very cool, and it's snappy, much more constant speed than my X10.

Side by side the Arc screen was better than the X10, more contracts and better saturation. Also looked sharper somehow, but that might have been the new UI drawings in 2.3.

I loved all the little extra transitions, like when you delete a widget.

The camera was amazingly fast, I took a couple of pictures thinking it was lagging before I noticed them at the side of the screen! Annoyingly it wouldn't let me send anything I took via bluetooth so I couldn't get any samples. Ah well.

Got to sit in the Green Hornet's car though :p
[Xperia Arc General] lude219:
I'd buy 10 of these had it came with a dual core (i'll even bite the bullet when it comes to the promise of software updates lol). Such a ridiculously sexy design ruined by antiquated hardware.

For their next phone, SE should work on the design and let HTC do the hardware.
[Xperia Arc General] lude219:
Maybe useless to you, but to most people, a phone is an investment. If anything, you should all encourage manufacturers to think forward rather than being complacent. Back in Q4 2009 HTC released the HD2. That phone pretty much set the precedent for the rest of the super-phones that came out after it. Even until now, how many phones you know with 4.3in screen, 1GB of rom and 576mb of RAM like you have on the TmousHD2? I can't even name one. Now in 2011, it's still relevant and can stand up against the big boys. To have a phone that is future-proof is both a joint effort in respect between the end-users and the manufacturers.

Maybe you don't give a crap about your money and would update to a new phone every year, but to have a good specs for a phone says a lot about a company and where it wants to be headed.

TrulyEpic Rebirth - AC Edition​

Installation Instructions

Totally new to ROMs? Read post #303.

1. It is required that you have a Froyo DK28 system with an EXT4 filesystem and ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.X before flashing this ROM. If you do not meet these prerequisites or do not know what these terms mean, read this thread before continuing. It will explain these terms as well as set up your phone with Froyo, EXT4 and CWM3 so you can flash this ROM.

2. Make a Nandroid Backup in ClockworkMod Recovery. DO NOT wipe your phone prior to flashing as this ROM will automatically backup and restore your data.

3. Download TrulyEpic Rebirth v1.5 and place it on your SD card.

4. Boot into Clockwork, navigate to the ROM zip and select it to flash. Your data will automatically be backed up, the ROM will flash, and then your data will be restored.

If you get any force closes upon boot due to conflicts from the backup restore, try going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All (at the top)>(app)>Clear data and Clear cache. If this doesn't work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the problem app(s).

When using WiFi Tether, the Sprint Hotspot will automatically start when tethering is activated. Don't touch the Sprint Hotspot or you will have problems. If you are having problems with the included version of WiFi Tether, update to the latest version (pre3 as of this writing).

To restore the power-button-end-call mod, go to Settings>Accessibility and check the bottom box.

New

TrulyEpic Rebirth v1.5 Clean Install - this version is for people who are having problems with the auto backup/restore or those who prefer starting with a clean slate. Wipe: factory reset, cache, dalvik cache three times each if using this version.

Wow no file manager.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:

[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
^ that's precisely why I didn't include one. Some people prefer Root Explorer, others ASTRO, others EStrongs, etc.

The ROM does have Setup Wizard set to optional, so if you have a file manager that you downloaded from the Market it will be automatically restored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maconu:
This has been the first ROM I've tried on any phone. It works great. I only have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a way to change the function of the power button? I've always used that to lock the screen (and hang up on every call I've placed since this ROM .. : )

2. I'm missing the visual voice mail. How can I get this or what is everyone else using..

Thanks for your work and your help
[Epic 4G Android Development] maconu:
I just hoped over the the androidcentral thread and saw that the voice mail .zip was posted so that is flashed and working.

any ideas on the power button??? I'll also post on android central which seems to get more traffic for this rom than here..

[Epic 4G Android Development] Spurs_Redskins:
Uh!

I had to flash this 1.5 ROM clean install twice, before I can could get it stable. Yes, I followed the instructions to a T.

1st Flash: Everything worked except Wireless Tether. The fix was to uninstall it, install the latest version, then in CWM run "Fix permissions". (I tried everything else from suggestions on another thread) All was well until I flashed Mini Theme v1.7 from CWM. Many apps FC'd and no matter what I tried nothing fixed. (cleared cache, fixed perms, reinstalled, etc.)

2nd Flash: No theme this time. Took me an hour to get Wireless Tether stable. No FC of any apps, but now WiFi refuses to work. So far, I've only removed that Wifi app that comes with this ROM (not sure what it's function was for), but still a no go on the WiFi.

I don't want a 3rd flash, because having Wireless Tether (infrastructure mode) stable is more important to me than WiFi ... but still, I'd like to get it working.

Any suggestions? :confused:
