[Gen8 Android Development] N23:
The Adam uses the nVidia Tegra 2 with the nVidia GPU and OpenGL acceleration - so i think it won't run very well on the Archos...

but it looks very promising - so i would be glad if someone proves the opposite!
[Gen8 Android Development] hurrpancakes:
The Galaxy Tab doesn't use Tegra 2 either...
[Gen8 Android Development] madsquabbles:
i've read that the adam stutters with multitasking with eden. i'm pretty sure eden will cripple the archos.
[Gen8 Android Development] firewater2003:
Absolutely....sell your Archos 101, then buy Viewsonic Gtab...

ADAM os is awesome. multitasking, and super fast browser.
[Gen8 Android Development] firewater2003:
ADAM os works only in dual core processor. Since Samsung has only 1 core processor, it is not possible for the OS to work, same with the Archos 101.
[Gen8 Android Development] madsquabbles:
i had the gtablet. very fast hardware, but the screen was the worst i've seen in all the tablets i bought.

as bad as the screen is on the a101 the gtablet was even worse. if i could swap the two screens i'd have kept the gtablet.
[Gen8 Android Development] firewater2003:
I played Archos 101 before, in my opinion both have screen resolution problem. Since the Archos company advertised that their tablet is more on multimedia aspect. Why did they put bad screen resolution for it in the first place? As far as the hardware is concern, VS Gtablet is way far away... and it has a freedom to tweak it to the fullest. What can you say Apple?
[Gen8 Android Development] hurrpancakes:
Then why is there an alpha of it in the galaxy tab forum?
[Gen8 Android Development] madsquabbles:
it wasn't a resolution problem, it was a quality problem. the viewing angles are horrid on the gtablet.

why a company that sells monitors chose such a low quality screen on such wonderful hardware is beyond me. I'd have gladly paid $500 for an ips option on the gtablet.

that said robeets work on the port is remarkable! as is all his other work. it almost makes me want to get another gtablet just to play with.
[Gen8 Android Development] msticninja:
There is a worldwide LCD shortage, and you're all complaining about paying $300 for a 10 inch Archos Tablet? The screen resolution is the same as every 10 inch netbook, and the viewing angles were designed to look right at the exact angle I'm always using it at. :) Haven't tried the gtablet, but if it's truly worse than the A101, that's a bit surprising for Viewsonic.

My phone has a 4.3 inch screen, and it cost $600 bucks, so I think everyone is being a bit harsh.

As for the Adam firmware, yeah, it ain't gonna happen.
[Gen8 Android Development] czesiu:
worse than archos?
[Gen8 Android Development] madsquabbles:
most definately. i had both at the same time (along with the a70, galaxy tab, nook color, sylvania tablet, and ipad) sitting in the same spots (i rigged a spot in my car for the tablets). the archos had the better screen (though still bad) and is the best at multimedia capabilites. i wanted a carputer and went with the archos. the gtablet didn't get as bright and it's contrast wasn't as good. the angels were very bad.

i really didn't see anyone complaining about paying $300 for an archos. i was complaining as to why viewsonic didn't include a better screen option and raise the price. since the are tablets, they are meant to also be handheld devices, meaning the viewing angles can, and will, change continously. to have a screen with limited viewing angles pretty much kills the handheld capabilities unless you've got a steady head and hands.
[Gen8 Android Development] lolo33:
The a101 version has the same limited viewing angles, identical to the gtablet.

The screen on the a70 is superieur to the a101.
[Gen8 Android Development] melax:
I just watched 10 videos on you tube of the G tablet and the screen looks great! Maybe it was just the one you had that was bad.
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
A bad screen viewing angle is a common complaint. Just read the G-Tab forums to see all of the complaints.
[Gen8 Android Development] madsquabbles:
unless you've got a worse screen on your a101 than i do, the gtablet is worse than a 101. their angles are close but the 101 gets just a bit more. other reviews have agreed with my observation.
[Gen8 Android Development] melax:
This is a video of the viewing angles, to me it doesn't look that bad. specially compared to the Archos 101.

G Tab

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLpjdLeQ9LQ

Archos 101, now these angles are allot worst.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPDxxfnuqOY

also there is a video there of a guy just flipping the G Tablet upside down and it looked great! I just think you have to concider all the G tablet is offers for the price, plus other tabs have the same problem and are worst. I think the Noton Ink tab looks aweful even face directly, from the videos. G tablet is a great bang for the buck, specially with the thanks of the guys here at XDA making it what it is today.
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Why are we discussing GTablet viewing angles in Gen 8 Android development section?:confused:
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Seriously..

Archos is giving us all the tools we need to do anything we want with this thing.. SDE dual boot.. have you seen UruK??? its not even out of Beta and offers so many things already, plus I can always go right back to stock using the SDE in a "dual-boot" kind of way... G-tab? really? then you might want to go buy one and good luck in the G-tab forums... No offense though, i just don't see what is so worth the extra 400 dollars??
[Gen8 Android Development] bthoven:
Sorry, I'm confused; are we discussing about Notion Ink Adam?
[Gen8 Android Development] melax:
then you might want to go buy one and good luck in the G-tab forums... No offense though, i just don't see what is so worth the extra 400 dollars??

Well concidering the 101 is nothing more that a larger 70, with the 300mg data limit, 256 memory, weak wifi, iffy usb port, the 50 dollars more for the g tablet comparing the price of the 16gb 101. Isn't really that much concidering better processor and not the limitations of the 101 has. My thinking anyway..
[Gen8 Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Are you kidding? Gtab is $380 Vs $350 for 16gb Archos

Advantages of G Tab vs 16gb Archos

More memory 512 Vs 256

Better processor

Better custom roms - Clockwork mod recovery works

Disadvantage

$50 more

More weight
[Gen8 Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
why the hell are you guys argueing over g-tab/adam etc in an archos dev forum!?

if you dont like archos and you have/prefer a g-tab or adam , heres a thought, maybe.. dont read/post in the archos subforums?... i know it might be a radical thought but have a think about it.

if this topic ever belonged in the gen8 android dev forum rather than the gen8 general forum, its gone a little off topic.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dcarr622:
I'm trying to help my cousin pick up a Milestone. There's one available that the seller says works on AT&T 3G but it's not the Telus version, it's a South American version.

Can someone tell me if this model has both 850 and 1900 3G? Is it in fact the same as the Telus model which has 850/1900/2100?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Beackman:
the Brazilian version and All latin america uses 850/1900/2100 like telus.

[General Questions and Answers] saw01:
Wish I could help.I'm also having to wait for my unlock code tio be sent.all I did was call up t mobile and asked about unlocking.have them the imei.they sent it to samsung and now I'm waiting for the code for my vibrant.it was all free.
[General Questions and Answers] zeroize:
What do you mean "they sent it to Samsumg"? Is there a way to cheat companies to unlock their own phones?
[General Questions and Answers] the.rider1290:
Phones are simlocked to inibith usage of other sim cards different from the one of the operator that gave you the phone: on this we all agree BUT in all the countries it's possible to unlock the mobile after a definied time, in italy for example is 9 months under payment and 18 months for free after purchase just going to your operator: many people don't know this really simple mechanism.

Here is the function of giving them your IMEI code: the algoritmh, specific for every operator, use your IMEI to calculate a number that must be the same that is written inside your phone: that's why they ask for IMEI and OPERATOR :)
[General Questions and Answers] zeroize:
But is the algorithm really known or do unlockers get the unlock codes using insiders that work for the operator company? So this workers would illegally pick code by code from some database since they have to have the unlock codes in order give them for free after X months anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] the.rider1290:
Think they just use software generators.... nowadays also Windows versions and software that costs millions went leaked... :)
[General Questions and Answers] thefuryx:
but basicly if someone would manage to flash his IMEI with other from completely different phone he no longer uses would it do the job?
[General Questions and Answers] Fizdude:
I had the same problem with my old Samsung Jet, they wanted me to send it to them over a 30 day period costing me £25!
[General Questions and Answers] malayalapenkutti:
If you get the paid unlock code means the code provider get the Code from the particular Network Data base,...so it's Legal one...Then in free code generator the calculators generate the code,but the code generate by the program so it generate default codes.....I got the code for Unlocking the Phone from Network lock quickly and free of cost,i got the correct free Unlock code for my Nokia,Samsung Phones at here www.unlock-free.com and Unlock it........
[General Questions and Answers] shmootz:
I believe the reason that calculators are no longer possible is due to the fact that the manufacturer/provide uses random algorithms to generate the unlock codes, and are not based on the IMEI. That is, the unlock code can only be found in their database as they did not use the IMEI as part of the algorithm to generate the code in the first place; hence there is no way to reverse engineer them for newer/more common devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
False. If this was true, then any hacker... anyone could do this. All unlock codes are based on your IMEI and phone model (carrier,country,etc).
[General Questions and Answers] hkimsiv:
Any one please help me. I have Asus Garminfone A50 locked by T-Mobile now I would like to unlock to use any sim card. IMEI:357355039003527 please help me or send unlock code to my e-mail:projects.kimsiv@gmail.com.

Thank you:(
[General Questions and Answers] AirCombat:
Believe me, it's not as easy at it seems to get SIM unlock codes. Your best bet is to find either a trustworthy site online, or call your provider and tell them you're travelling internationally and you need to change SIM cards... they may charge you but it only needs to be done once. However, if you have patience eventually someone will write an app to do it for free. But that could take months, even years. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to unlock mine without doing either of the methods outlined above and I've spent days researching this and I still am not much closer...

[General Questions and Answers] handasan10:
Try here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f88/
[General Questions and Answers] joe654:
well this is my understanding the unlock code database will be having 2 primary keys 1 will be the IMEI number and another one is the key which will be used for generating the unlock code which is unknown to the outside world.

so when some one request for the unlock code the service provider, (either the phone company or thirdparty) have to refer thru this 2nd key for generating the key but since the key generation is done from the manufacture end the database is acting like a blackbox.

just get your imei off the web to save you from millions of copies that are likely coming up
[General Questions and Answers] tewilove:
hello, some time before I digged into SONY unlock, my conclusion is that it's impossible to brute force or you really need an insider in that company.

// STEP:

// t = NCK + SALT

// h = sha256(t)

// 9.times { h = sha256(h) }

// assert(h == HASH)

// IMEI: 353588050129**7

// NCK : 647765421762**43

SALT and HASH are programmed in trim area, and don't know how to calculate those two, only way is to get the phone and extract them.
[General Questions and Answers] 1sagain:
I always thought that codes were pre calculated when phones are manufacturered.

I know for some phones the ROOT AWAY app (on samsungs) takes off the sim lock.
[General Questions and Answers] iamdude:
[MENTION=1713470]tewilove[/MENTION], your finding is sony-specific or docomo-specific? As you know the same Sony models is sold in Japan by a different operators - Docomo, Softbank and KDDI. But always with a sim lock.

With root we could read the whole TA, so we could calculate unlocking code? What do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] cinnaC2C:
If they don't use the IMEI, then why do the unlockers ask for it? There should be no need for it if that was the case, unless, it's just to verify your phone model or something?

dear community,

is there any freakin way to adjust display settings on android? i am a graphics designer & hobby photographer and i really need to adjust the display saturation on my archos 70.

i searched the forums, i googled until my fingers bleed ;D but i couldn't find anything.

so again is there any way to change display settings under android? maybe with shell access or a kind of special driver for the sgx530 gpu?

thx in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KurdX:
So I've been searching for a solution to turn my statusbar completely transparent but with no result.

I've edited the statusbar_background.9.png file to completely transparent but all I get is a black statusbar.

On other threads and screenshots they are using other launchers, could this be the problem? Im using ADW launcher.

Btw, The statusbar is transparent when the lockscreen is on but as soon as I unlock and return to the homescreen the statusbar is black.

What I want is my background to go all the way up but still see all icons in the statusbar, so disabling the statusbar is not an option.

Note that I do not mean the draggeddown statusbar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
post your framework-res and i will post a transparent one for you

This is my framework-res.apk without the statusbar edits I've done.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KurdX:
It worked now. Thanks anyway lgkahn.

The problem was ADW Launcher as corgar said.

Worked fine with Zeam launcher, lets see if Zeam is worth keeping.

Name: Bring The Wine (version 2.0)

Welcome to Bring The Wine, the task manager that syncs your phone with your Exchange account. Let's be honest, it's usually ok to forget the milk once in a while. But you should always remember to bring the wine to that party.

Website

http://bringthewine.syrupie.com/

Download

http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=34aeca73-a11c-e011-9264-00237de2db9e (available on Marketplace)

What's New

v2.0 has an redesigned interface and allows tasks to be shown in categories. It also includes an improved sync mechanism, better notifications and other minor improvements.

v1.2 comes with faster Exchange sync, better notification and improved reminder.

v1.1 has a slightly simplified interface. It also has improved sync handling and fixes several bugs.

v1.0 has a redesigned setting interface. It also fixed a sync issue with incomplete tasks and includes various graphic performance improvements.

v0.9 adds Exchange Server 2003 support. It also addressed several minor stability and performance issues.

v0.8 introduces a new layout and allows easier access to tasks. It also adds Bing's photo of the day as an option of background photo.

v0.7 adds category support, customizable view and landscape mode. It also resolves issues related editing HTML note, detecting standalone mode and dimissing task.

v0.6 adds reminder support, live tile support and the option to enable/disable background. Now you can not only edit reminder of tasks, you can also receive reminders on your phone (just like old times). Live tile will show the number of incomplete tasks when Bring The Wine is pinned.

Features

* Sync tasks with your Exchange account. Don't use Exchange? Standalone mode allows to manage your tasks without an Exchange account.

* Sync with Exchange Server 2003, 2007 and 2010.

* View, add and update tasks. Supports features like notes, categories, start/due dates and reminders.

* Receive reminders about your tasks on your phone, just like on your PC.

* Customize how tasks are shown. See the information that matters to you.

* Use that slideout keyboard to type faster in landscape mode.

Why We Made It

I used Tasks on my Touch HD everyday, and one of the reasons I'm sticking with WM 6.5 is the lack of Exchange Task support. I realized MSFT isn't going to add this anytime soon, so some friends and I made one ourselves and share with you.

Bring The Wine allows you to sync tasks between Exchange Server and your Windows Phone. It's currently in an early stage, but more features will be added soon and kinks will be ironed out.

Bring The Wine support most Exchange installations. , as long as they're Exchange Server 2003 or later.

If you also want to sync tasks on your Windows Phone, give it a try! Any suggestion and feedback would be appreciated =)

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
That's what I've been waiting since I flashed WP7 on my HD2. Currently downloading. I will give feedback after I tested around a bit. :)

[Edit]

First feedback:

Sadly it can't connect to the server. :( I could probably be because my username differs from the first part of the E-Mail address. There shouldn't be any certificate issues since I installed them correctly and E-Mail, contacts and calender work just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] oaa8:
This application looks very promising. I have been looking for a way to synchronize tasks through with WP7 because I rely heavily one them. Unfortunately I can't synchronize my tasks with the program and I believe it may be due to the exchange server but it does function for me on Windows Mobile 6.5. My exchange is through Zimbra and I think I've read that Zimbra uses or is similar to Exchange 2003. Is there any possibility of adding support Zimbra?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ithinkurdumb:
@dkp1977

What error message did it say? Or if you can PM me your email address or the server URL you tried to connect, I'll check to see what might be the problem.

@oaa8

I'm not familiar with Zimbra. But if it uses Exchange Server 2003, then it's not supported, as Bring The Wine relies on some features that're only available on Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and newer versions.

Great, I've been looking for such app since I got my WP7.

I couldn't get it working with Hotmail (Live) account thou. When I type in m.hotmail.com as server name, the application responds:

"The server is not an Exchange Server."

Hi!

Any chance to support self signed certificates? I read your first post and I acknowledged it but do you have any plan to implement it?

Regards

Cina.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ithinkurdumb:
@omikr0n:

Yes Hotmail does support Exchange ActiveSync, but it doesn't support some features Bring The Wine relies on (just like Exchange Server 2003). Currently we're not aware of any way to support them, but we are exploring other options.

@cina:

Self-signed certificate will be supported in version 0.3, which should be available on Marketplace within a week.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vhaakmat:
Somehow I can't connect to my mail server. Does it have to be https?? Because my outlook is setup as mobile.domain.com and for sure it it doesn't require a secure connection. All our phones work fine with that. But somehow I am getting the "An error has occured" error... By the way, the correct word is "occurred".
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ithinkurdumb:
@vhaakmat:

Thanks for picking up the typo :p. Both HTTP and HTTPS work. If you can PM me your email and the mail server URL, I'll take a look =)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] feygor:
I'm in the same boat as dkp1977, my exchange account has a separate domain and user name to the email address, until it supports that I can't really use it.

I was looking forward to having an app that syncs exchange tasks.

Keep up the good work, i'll keep an eye out for when it supports my exchange server.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ithinkurdumb:
@feygor:

The domain name in your email doesn't have to be the same as your Exchange server (which I believe is a very common situation). My own email account is like that and Bring The Wine works for me (duh). If you could PM me your email and your mail server, I'll take a look. One thing to note though, currently Bring The Wine will not work if there's a certificate error (self-signed, expired, name doesn't match...etc). It might be the cause of your case. The next update of Bring The Wine will have an option to ignore certificate errors.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
@ithinkurdumb

0.3 works fine now, thank you very much. :) I had to use my username instead of my email though.

The app is really great, but I miss some features that might make their ways into one of the next releases:

- the ability to delete a task

- bring the wine should be able to sync tasks on load

- start and due dates should be visible. Either in a smaller font beneath the task text in the overview or somewhere in the task details

- HTML elements should be stripped from the task descriptions

I know bring the wine is in an early state. Consider it as sort of a wish list. ;) Whatever, it's a really great app that should have been part of WP7. Thank you for all the effort you put into this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ithinkurdumb:
@dkp1977

Glad that v0.3 works for you. The username/email should be a domain thing and shouldn't be different in Bring The Wine than elsewhere. But as long as it works...

Thank you for the suggestions. We actually got similar suggestions from other users as well. #1, #3 and #4 are under development and will be available soon. Could you explain what did you mean by "sync on load" though?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dkp1977:
Currently there are no tasks shown when you start the app. I would like the app to immediately sync tasks at the very start.
