My wife really liked her Pre (bought it day one) but the Hardware was Utter **** (we ended up with 7 Palm Pre's from Sprint). I ended up getting her an EVO. She likes the EVO but would like to go back to a Pre (we will see if Sprint gets the Pre3). If Sprint does I will get her the Pre3 and TouchPad for myself. I like how they have integrated both devices. I used her Pre and WebOS is amazing. Their card system (multi tasking and viewing e-mails) is really nice. I was really looking forward to the Xoom since CES BUT the $800 price tag and having to pay Verizon a $35 activation fee and another $20 for 1gb of Data to unlock WiFi really put me off of the Xoom. All I (and many others wanted) is a 16gb WiFi only model for $500. I will still see what the iPad2 has to offer, by then the Xoom will have sold horribly and hopefully will drop in price.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
If it doesnt drop in price it will fail completely.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
You know I never thought of iOS like that BUT you are onto something. We use many Thin Clients at my job and iOS is just like those units. Very good analogy;)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
im not interested in tablets at all tbh. i also cannot see webos on pc's doing very well either.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
Exactly. I already think it's DOA from ALL the TechBlogs I frequent. There are soooo many that said they were ready to drop cash on it, then the $800 and locking it to Verizon killed all excitement for the Xoom. Too bad. They killed their own device just that fast (they also killed excitement for their Atrix as well). Bunch of dummies at Motorola
[EVO 4G General] 4redstars:
it just hit me today...and thank you!

I'm very close to buying a Pre3 on a one year contract from what ever carrier it's on...(hopefully not ATT though)

I think I'm going to keep doing one year contracts and hopping from phone to phone.
[EVO 4G General] :
The Touchpad looks sick and I also like the Pre 3 because of the bigger screen and processor. The UI is fluid and pretty soon they'll have a bigger developer support. I remember reading that there's a way to convert existing iPhone apps to WebOS so that should give them a boost.

This summer it's going to be between the Motorola Xoom, iPad 2, Touchpad or any other cool tablet that may be announced next week.

Touchpad is a good contender though.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I take it you're not coming from the Palm Pre. Doubt you'd be uttering those words if you did. Stay away... that's the best advice anyone can give you.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Sounds nice, but the extra power on a single core processor should actually draw more power than 2 less powerful cores. On a phone that already had battery issues like the Pre, I think the tiny boost in battery capacity on the Pre3 is going to make battery life even worse. If that's even possible.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
nope never used a pre before, so yes i am clueless! :D

As to the processor thingg, comparing it to computers 2 faster cores > 4 slower cores for over all user experience (course games and video editing and all that is a lot better) i don't know if this applies here though...
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
How can people even contemplate getting a smartphone for which development is almost nill, except for the likes of Brighthouse Labs and fart apps? Even serious apps such as Epocrates have canceled their WebOS support. The fact is that developers have turned their back on WebOS and the momentum is with Android. The only thing that could save WebOS is if developers fall in love with the tablet and start developing for it.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
At least in the mobile phone world...WebOS is done.

The veer? lmao...yeah.........

The pre 3....blah...old technology before it's even out again.

1.4 ghz single core? Good for you.

Clock speed is irrelevant.

Dual-cores will outperform that anyday.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
Alright, i typed the original message from my phone.

The phone selection Palm is coming out with is 100% irrelevant. Honda Cop nailed it better than anybody else could, apps drive smartphone OSes atm. It isn't the way it should be (realistically the chrome netbook platform is something i thought would catch on, the internet being the app store) but it is.

My argument wasn't saying the tablet is a terrible device, quite the contrary. It's the best tablet that has been shown to date (the playbook being 7 inches really makes me not want it to be honest, 3" is a lot of real estate). However, the time frame isn't there. If palm wanted to move these things and have success with their sales, they should have been ready to ship a week and a half from today. Build up the product and then get it into peoples hands immediately so that they really have no time to consider their other options. They keep thinking they are apple, which they obviously aren't. People will only wait around for an iphone now a days and typically not even.

It's sad, honestly, that Palm dropped the ball with another great looking product. The Pre could have been huge if they had gotten it to the consumer a bit earlier than 6 months after it's announcement (seriously wtf were they thinking)?

I'm probably going to be getting the xoom, but realistically a tablet is for consumption of media more than anything. You expect to do with your tablet what you could with your computer when you have no work. Video chat, browse around, watch some videos, maybe take some notes, etc. It looks like Palm really nailed that concept.

Here's to hoping the Xoom is better than I think it's going to be, because that's going to be my tablet of choice.

[EVO 4G General] abanh:
I had the Pre, and the thing I remember most was the atrocious battery life. The Evo had a reputation for bad battery life too but it is so much better than the Pre.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
So true. I miss my pre's cards but only being able to use it 4 hours at a time was atrocious.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Seems to be the theme of the day since the announcements, and I'll be glad to echo them here;

WebOS is something special, and could be even more so. One might have thought that with HP "moving on from the Palm name" that they might have gone the route of a hardware refresh with the Pre. I mean, same form factor that was cool (sort of) when it initially dropped, but is now looking pretty dated and stale. Not to mention they seem to be keeping the exact same effin keyboard. Now, the keyboard isn't necessarily terrible ... but if there was one consistent "niggle" that the WebOS faithful had made (including all those I know) it has concerned the keyboard. Whether or not the portrait slider is a thing of the past, it can still be improved upon here. Sadly, it wasn't.

A hardware refresh was sorely needed.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
With all the horrendous problems the Palm Pre had with it's formfactor, they should have done a complete new phone from scratch. Me for one, went through 5 Palm Pres due to defective keyboards. Looking at the same keyboard on the Pre 3, sends chills down my spine. I know many will feel the same.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
I can't even consider a Palm product until they release one with a 4.3 inch screen without a keyboard. A 2.6 inch screen? Come on.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
The sad part is that WebOS is actually pretty decent. I still prefer the control I have with Android, but for a basic user, such as the elder, wives, and kids, the simplicity and aesthetics of WebOS is a perfect match.

Besides the atrocious hardware and abysmal battery life, what I hated most was not only the lack of apps, but the quality of apps. I mean, the few apps we had seem like was made by a 5th grader. FFS, I remember the best game for it was Helicopter game. Lol! And that was a simple port of a popular flash-based game.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Only 5?

I went through 12 pres in 12 months.

That is more replacements then ALL of my replacements in the 8 years that I've had Sprint combined.
[EVO 4G General] cawkblocker:
I went through 7 Pre's, got them to switch me to another 'comparable' phone (which was a Hero), then bought my Evo around Christmas for $100+ 2yr and couldn't be happier. I mean, I loved webOS but the buginess and the **** build quality just killed it for me. Until they can come out with great hardware, get all their API's released, and get comparable apps to Android and iOS, I don't see them as a competitor whatsoever.
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
I dunno. I only went through 1 Pre. Lasted me until the Evo. I did however go through 3 HTC Touch Pros. Like its previously been stated. HP's announcement was spot on. It would have been perfect too but only if they released the products within a month. All the hype is going to die about the HP TouchPad and the Pre 3 (and the Veer if you really want it lol). Sometimes I wonder why companies do this. Announce something then wait 6+ months to release it. Seems like a bad business model to me.

And as for apps on the Pre? All the apps I used were of great quality (I used PreCentral a lot). The fact that you compared the devs to 5th graders is astounding when you look at some of the quality of apps on Android and iOS.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Fragile? lol That's a nice way to put it. I'd say they downright suck. Which is a shame because I do like the flow of the OS.
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
This is what I never understood. So many people had to get their Pres replaced multiple times, but I never had these problems. I did get the USB port crack after about 8 months, but my Pre was heavily abused. I didn't baby mine like everyone else said they were doing.

After watching some of the hands-on videos, the Pre 3 does really look like a great piece of hardware. Only problem is that it's about a year behind. This is what they should have been announcing about this time last year. I like it, but I just can't see dropping my EVO for it. Give it a 4" screen, 4G, and a better battery and I would give it some serious consideration.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
Haters gonna' hate.

WebOS is awesome. Way better than Android or iOS. There aren't a billion and one apps but there are enough to own a WebOS device and do what you got to do. The Pre 3 is not a super phone but enough of a improvement to make it worth owning for some. I'm still going to wait for a Atrix-esque WebOS phone, but man, you can't hate on WebOS. It's amazing. The touchpad on the other hand is worth owning out right. It has HP pushing it so you know it's going in to the hands of millions. Apps will come quicker for that.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Everyone has their own taste. I have nothing against Palm, but I didn't like Webos. My wife had the pixie and the pre. She got the pixie the same day I bought my hero. Never once, during the time I owned the hero, did I find myself wanting a palm product. On the other hand, she was constantly asking to use my phone, because she liked it more...even after she ditched the pixi for the pre. While we both had iaauws with our phones, mine were purely cosmetic. She had some serious issues, such as a short in the power button were, I'd you so much as brushed the button while the phone was in your pocket, it would mute the ringer.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Just as some people will always love "Oreos".

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] rodrigosb:
I also left my Palm Pre for an EVO, Android is great, and it’s getting better, but WEB OS was really amazing. I’m talking about WEB OS and note the Pam Pre. I have high hopes for WEB OS, but it don’t know if I can leave android. Time will tell.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
WebOS is a phenomenal piece of software. It's a real shame that the hardware it has been released on so far is so poor.

WebOS did what iOS still wishes it could do (and two years ago at that), which is offer an intuitive interface, serious multitasking, and a fluid and attractive appearance. As far as I know, it was never modified the way Android is and always has been with ROMS and themes.

I don't think I will move away from HTC and Android for my phone, but a webOS tablet would easily best the iPad in many, many ways. With a company with the size and reach of HP, developers will definitely hop on board, you can be sure of that. HP said they will integrate webOS into all manner of devices, so the devs will follow suit.

Should be an interesting summer. As I see it, there are only three real tablet contenders now: the Xoom, TouchPad, and iPad 2.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Cod Ball:
Hey all,

Recently saw the thread about peoples home screens and saw some really nice ones.

I have a question though about launcher pro and I can't find any tutorials or solutions for it online.

In short when using launcher pro it gives you a default of 5 shortcuts on the dock for each screen (maximum of 7 screens I think)

I've seen some setups where people have replaced the shortcut image with a word (ie messages, phone, internet)

I want to do this but everytime I try to change the image for a word it shrinks it down to a set size to fit in with the 4 other shortcuts on the dock, I'd like to do it so the word takes up the space of two shortcuts.

Basically I want it to look like the dock at the bottom of this one:

img40.imageshack.us/img40/3710/snap20100911025522.png

(sorry couldn't make it a link and post)

Or at least similar, does anyone know how to do this? I'm using Launcher pro, would I need Launcher pro plus?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
You don't need launcherpro plus but what you do need is that exact launch bar or you need to make one yourself. The way that look was achieved is that there are no actual visible icons on that bar, instead they made a .png of a bar with the text where they wanted the icons to be and then used transparent icons to actually place the shortcuts. I believe SonnySekhon has a bunch of docks like that in his theme thread and you can pick and choose one. If you can't find a transparent icon, I'll post one later but I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes so I can't do it now.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
Here is a little something special from me, i think it will help you in re-creating that home screen, its an invisible icon. Just run your mouse over it to see exactly where the pic is. Its hard to see cause its invisible :p. Plus a drawer icon incase you want it.

I really like it, nice look.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
ooo Thats a nice app drawer icon. I like it a lot!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
I searched around some more cause i really liked that theme and i found this. Should help you out, the only thing you need now is the transparent icons

Edit, so...its there I promise its just transparent. Right click around the far left until you see "Save image as" and do that lol
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ruben8448:
Haha i found it too and edited my first post to put it in there. I like this look, i'm gonna try it on adw launcher where i can increase the size of the dock. I think it might go well

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] em4all:
Hi everybody

Let's start with this , i am an idiot

now we got that out of the way let's talk about what happened

i recently tried to flash this rom P1000JPJM4 all well except i was stuck to samsung logo so i tried to restore my old ROM but i couldn't because the bootloader was locked ... so i tried other roms non of them worked ...

so i thought of installing P1000XWJMI then fixing the bootloader then go back to the old rom or stay on this one ...

before i start flashing P1000XWJMI the battery logo showed up with very little left but i started any way

the device went dawn while i was flashing so i disconnected it and plugged it in the wall for re-juice but the logo of a computer and a phone with a yellow triangle started flashing ... i left it for a while when i came back i reconnected it to the computer but i cant but it in download mod or pretty much do any thing just jet black screen

reconnected it to the wall started flashing again ... to the computer nothing

so the question is is my tab now just a shiny piece of plastic or is there a way around this ???

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoandrew:
should this be in Q & A area, not here in Developer Zone!!

wrong area dude!!

Seems like you bricked your device!! But bricking a Samsung Galaxy Aint Easy Task.

Have you try holding Vol - + Power for Download Mode?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] em4all:
sorry for that ..

nop no luck just a nice black screen nothing more

while we are at it what do you thing i should do with it ?

shuld i blend it

will it blend :):):)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adapt0r:
Hold power down for 10 sec then leave tab charging for 4-6 hours and try to reflash either Power key vol down or vol up.

Odin should see the tab when charged.

Don't worry
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] em4all:
thanks man

gonna try that

when i held the power down for 10 seconds it kept flashing after that is this acceptable ? i mean leaving it charging while the freaking picuter is flashing ?

thanks again
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] em4all:
so i did what you sugested ... nothing

the device is not recognized nor powering on

any good ideas ...or bad even :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msewidan:
Leave it pluged in your comeputer for at least 30 minutes and when it gets connected to the pc push the power and vol. down buttons right away, just don't let go until it go into download mode. When I did that I had odin open, I don't know if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adapt0r:
I remember similar case to yours that was fixed after full charging of the battery.

Keep it charging for 6-8 hours then disconnect the cable and then push both Power and Vol-down buttons. If this does not bring download screen then try Power and Vol-up.

In case of success you should see tab-to-comp screen. Both screens indicate that the Tab is in download mode and you connect it to PC with ODIN and try reflashing.

Full battery charge is critical for the Tab - computer handshake. The cable is multifunctional and based on voltage level computer/tab make decision about the purpose of the connecting line.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] em4all:
thanks every body i think i got it

just left it connected for about 2 houres and it is poping again

Is it still common to find brand new N1s with a manufacture date of 12/2009? A friend got one from a friend who got it from somebody else and I don't know where it came from but I'm looking at buying it for $350. Everything looks brand new but the DOM concerned me.

So if you bought one ~6 months ago from Google might you have gotten one with a 12/2009 DOM? Or what's the deal? I heard the power button might be an issue on earlier N1s but the rest has been fixed with software updates, right?

What do you think... good deal?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
From what I remember N1s didn't produce for that long so most were probably made in Q4 2009 and Q1 2010, I wouldn't imagine many would be made long after that. That said I bought my second N1 which had only been used for a few months and was immaculate. I think I got it for around £250/$400 with the official desk dock, 3rd party USB dock, a case and two spare battery covers.

It looks like you're getting a good deal as well, I'd snap at that price.
