[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] metrognome9:
The Notion Ink Adam has an interesting screen option called Pixel Qi (chi) which has much improved daylight display capabilities at the expense of brightness and colour intensity compared to their LCD option.

I don't think I have enough posts yet to embed links so search YouTube for "Notion Ink Adam" and "display" or "daylight" and you'll find some comparisons. I'm interested but I'm still not totally sold yet. After my gTab mail-order experience I want to see the display in person before I buy so I don't end up wasting my tablet budget on shipping to and from.

I'm also waiting to see if their QC holds up for the initially shipping units. They're on my list of hopefuls though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jfchianetta:
Yeah it's the kind of thing you need to see in person, it can really make a big difference depending on the light and content displayed. I guess it's perfect for reading but not as good for images.
[Fascinate General] kenyu73:
So, me and my wife both started seeing this issue pop up. My wife first told me her battery went from full to almost empty within in few hours, but I think it was never fully charged to begin with.

The meter doesn't match the settings % very well...
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Mine is showing the same. Even if it's at 50% the battery icon will still be at 3/4 full. Oh well. Must be an issue with this version of Froyo.

[Fascinate General] i0nicx:
after flashing a rom(any rom), it is recommended that you recondition the battery. you can find instructions on how to do this in this board or the vibrant boards.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939425

this will make the phone relearn the battery and read it properly(unless of course there is a problem with the rom reading battery life)
[Fascinate General] kenyu73:
I just ran some high CPU apps to drop it below 60% and the bar dropped some. I dunno, I would think the bar is reporting a bit to generous for being at 59%!
[Fascinate General] JIMB093:
From what I've heard, the stock battery icon goes by 20% increments.

100-80, 79-60, 59-40 ...etc

Since your phone is at 61%, it seems to be displaying it properly on the notification bar.
[Fascinate General] kenyu73:
I cleared the battery stats in CWR already, but the value in settings seems more accurate since I've been plugged for 14 hours.

Reconditioning the battery wouldn't only effect the GUI bar. Maybe it is only a thing with Froyo or maybe its a TBD fix for DL30 before it gets an offical release.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
It looks the same way in DL09 I bet... And this is development related how?
[Fascinate General] kenyu73:
Could be... but I'd think it would be more 100(full), 99-80, 79-60, 59-40, etc.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
The stock battery icon is horribly inaccurate. I think there's only 4 or 5 different icons to display the whole battery range. That said, there can be a mismatch after flashing any new rom. To reset everything, charge your battery until it's totally full (check it in settings). After that says 100%, shutdown the phone and leave it on the charger until you get the full battery message on the screen (the screen will light up and display a battery with 100%)

Once you're totally at 100%, boot into clockwork and wipe battery stats. Reboot your phone, take it off the charger and let it discharge totally - to about 5 or 10%. Some people say you should discharge it fast, I'm not so sure. I just let it discharge normally. Once it's gone through the whole range, it'll be synced up and the numbers should match from then on. Worked for me.

And if you're interested, I modified the DL30 framework with a new battery icon and 1% increments. You can download the Clockwork flashable zip here, the modified version and the stock version if you wanted to revert:

DL30_BatteryPercent.zip

DL30_StockFramework.zip

And this is what it looks like. Stock aside from the battery.
[Fascinate General] kenyu73:
Thanks for the tips and MOD option!
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Nice. I've never ran a mod before. When I flash this through clockwork, do I need to wipe data or simply run it?
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
Nope, just flash it and reboot. No need to wipe anything.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Thanks, works great.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
Cool, glad you like it!

I have the same problem, and I run a theme which has uses a numeric reading. It doesn't match the figure I have for my minimalist text widget.
[Fascinate General] stereoblind:
Which CWM recovery actually wipes the battery stats? I tried it with the new red voodoo-looking CWM and that didn't seem to work for me either. I hit wipe battery stats and it just takes me right back to the menu without actually saying it wiped anything.

Wondering the same thing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] igolfchip:
I'm doing my research to figure out which tablet to purchase when the wave of CES2011 tablets hit the market.

Like most here on XDA, I won't want to run the stock image from the manufacturer for obvious reasons. But in order to get a custom rom, there needs to be critical mass here on XDA for its development.

So I'd like to figure out - what tablet do you plan to purchase when they're released? That will help me narrow down my choices to those that will have interest from the Chef community.

I don't know yet -- I want to get something smallish and inexpensive that the kids can use for messing around -- perhaps a Nook color rooted and rom'd

Hmm -- I wonder if the Nook cooks have a honeycomb ROM in the works...

Another vote for Nook Color

I'm running the Nook Color with Honeycomb v04 flash zip you can find in the Nook Color section. It runs pretty good now, can't wait to see what happens when the full source code is out.

The size is great, screen is awesome and the devs are doing some amazing things already with them. Plus at $250 can't beat the price.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] infazzdar:
I am planning on buying a Nook Color to use as a Honeycomb tablet. :cool: (Especially when the AOSP Honeycomb source is released for the Nook Color developers to get a hold of.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] igolfchip:
I would jump on a nook color, but the 7" screen is just a little too small for me.

I've narrowed my search to 10" screens @ 1280X800 (or equivalent).

My ideal specs:

Processor: Dual Core ARM (Tegra 2 or equiv)

Screen: 10" @ 1280X800 (hopefully could be read outside)

Battery Life: 8-10hrs

Wifi: B/G/N

3G: Not necessary, would leech off my phone's wifi router

OS: No overlay interface, just plain old honeycomb from the chefs here at XDA

Camera: Front & Back (although I only care about front for video conferencing)

System Memory: At least 1 gig, 2 would be preferable

Storage: 8gb+ onboard; SD card to augment

Power source: Stanard Mini or Micro USB; No proprietary charger

GPS: Don't care

Color: Any color as long as comes in black

Accessories:

- Docking / charging station that allows viewing at either Horizontal or Vertical

- iPad like case that allows a variety of viewing positions & props up for typing
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RodneyBR:
Yea, Nook Color is excellent, but is a little small for me as well.

I'm also looking for a 10.2" tablet. There are so many out there now, epad for example. They are cheap as well, but most have 2.1. I'd live to get one with 2.2 for cheap.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] igolfchip:
Lenovo LePad

Interesting - Lenovo plans to announce their 1200x800 tablet at $399 and $449 and seems to be one of the less expensive tablets with leading specs (not sure if will have Qualcomm or Tegra processor).

I'm guessing TigerDirect, Amazon, NewEgg and others will carry their stuff, even if you don't see it in Best Buy or other stores.

Will the price be attractive enough to snag this vs. the competition?

I'm looking at the huawei s7 slim. 7" 800x400 1.2ghz snapdragon. Android 2.2 3g capable. Around the $300 price range

Here is an unboxing video. I was yelling at the screen when he couldn't find the power button. haha. :)

http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2048149,00.html

So, as a captivate owner on froyo, after reading these and others I'm leaning on not pre-ordering because,

1. the laptop dock is to expensive for the benefits it provides.

2. the 4g is slower than the 3g currently.

3. Only one core is used anyway with froyo (dual core support is coming in April with 2.4 supposedly). (UPDATE: Froyo does have dual core support but you will not see it on single threaded apps.)

4. Possible locked bootloader. (we don't know yet) XDA support is a must.
[Atrix 4G General] Xevilious:
I wasn't aware that 2.2 didn't support dual-core processors. Ouch.

Looks like Engadget is priming their review:

http://www.engadget.com/motorola/atrix-4g-review/
[Atrix 4G General] graemegb:
2.2 supports multi-threading, so you will be able to multitask faster and things, and apps can take advantage of it. just the homescreen and such dont make use of it (unless moto did some stuff)

EDIT: looks like Hachi beat me to it

[Atrix 4G General] smitty1:
Buy the laptop dock? uh, what jerks.

That thing is DOA, unless you like to piss money away for absolutely no reason.

Take the deal from the at&t bastards and get the phone and the dock for the low low price of 500 bucks :eek: What a great deal! How much is that tethering plan going to cost you over 2 years?

500$ bucks for a monitor and a keyboard? WTF?

Hey at&t how about you take that pos psuedo netbook and shove it up your arse!

They should give people free t-shirts with that deal that say "I was just raped by at&t"

Seriously how much does a new netbook cost and a usb cord? or better yet an honest to goodness laptop?
[Atrix 4G General] Aridon:
How many other phones have a cheap dock?

Seriously, shut the hell up already about the stupid dock. The device stands on its own without it and if you are surprised that they are porking you on accessories you obviously haven't been in the game long.

When another company releases a dock cheaper, releases a dual core phone with a gig of ram for the same price or less then *****. Until then compare apples to apples and buy a stupid notebook and go on your way. Tethering on PDA net on your unlimited data plan.

hi all,

hope someone can help me :( 5 hours wasted over 2 days lol.

my phone(galaxy s) decided yesterday that the internal memory card would no longer show any of the installed apllications in the apps grid menu.

yet when i look at how much memory has been used, the card shows up with the used memory and available memory in the sd card settings, but i cant format the card.:confused:

also the external memory card works perfectly, 3rd party market apps also know what apps are installed on the internal memory card that need updates and will update them lol.

all this happened after intalling an app called appplanet.

what have i done or has my internal memory card given up the ghost????

not even got the official market now, as anything installed on internal is not working.

I looked through some threads here and there but, there's nothing to specific, just suggestions so I thought I would make a thread :)

What's the best ROM to run on a Motorola Droid on Android 2.2.1 build FRG83D in your opinion?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MasterRebkee:
I am a diehard bugless beast user. I would suggest you do what I did and try out multiple ROMS as you may have a completely different opinion than I.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] IHC:
CM 6.1.2, UD 2.5.0 & Project Elite 4.2 are all very solid builds of FRG83D with each having it's own unique features.

If I had to choose just 1 then I would say CM, as that's what I'm running now.

So I just finished up watching the HP event and I must say that new Pre 3 looks pretty sweet I mean a 1.4 ghz snapdragon sounds pretty fast.

But if the rumors are true and we get the froyo update in 2 weeks my Epic will still be king.

[General Topics] muyoso:
The hardware for the Pre 3 is boring. I mean by the time the thing launches, both the iPhone and Android phones will probably be running dual core 1.2-1.4 Ghz processors which will DESTROY anything the Pre 3 can do, and with regards to graphics it wont even be remotely close. The OS looks solid, but are there any applications built for it really?
[General Topics] AndrewZorn:
Whoa, wait... you want to switch from a poorly maintained version of an ubiquitous OS to a much less popular OS with a future that is questionable, at best?

It was one thing as Palm, but I can't imagine HP making the final experience any better than even 2.1 Android. Sure it's not the latest Android, but at least it is way more widespread...
[General Topics] lviv73:
All these years and HP still dint learn their lesson.

Why did Palm Pre floped?Because people dont want small screen phone with a physical keyboard!Thats why milions of people dint buy your stupid phones with best mobile OS.

Next time HP(after your existing lineup flops again) make something that looks like Galaxy S with 4inch Amoled or Super LCD(if Samsung dont sell you Amoled)and drop the useless keyboard(i hevent used my Epic's keyboard even once).

And for once listen to what people want.Stupid fagits cant get one thing right after all these years-ya deserve to loose money,lol.

[General Topics] DroidApprentice:
Without resorting to either anti-gay invective or anti-who-or-whatever I'll just say that I found it really sad how Palm fumbled the ball with Pre. They had the worst ad campaign I've ever seen (amateurs on youtube made great commercials by just *showing what the damn phone could do*) and as much as they hook me up, they should *never* have given Sprint early exclusivity to it. This new version 3 is probably decent for what it is and WebOS is still a damn fine system, but it's doomed like Windows Phone 7, except more so, because they don't have MS's cash and tenacity to try and buy their way into the market.
[General Topics] themirthfulswami:
Im with the OP. Im going back to webOS when the Pre3 is available. The Epic was my first attempt at Android and its left a bad taste in my mouth. If webOS vanishes in 2 years then so be it. At least I'll have a phone i really enjoy for a while.

[General Topics] muyoso:
I am going to go out on a limb and predict that you wont be going back to webOS when the Pre3 is released. By that time, we will have such beast android phones being released along with the iphone 5 and probably some pretty sick Windows phone 7 phones that it just won't make sense unless they basically give the Pre3 away.

I will still buy their tablet,but if they cant listen to 2 major complaint that people had against them all these years and why alot of people dint buy their phones even though we loved the WebOS.

Damn how hard can it be?Large screen+software keyboard thats it and they would have sold more phones than all Galxy S variants.They need to leave the phone game alone because they are just too stupid to run it.

Sorry for harshness but alot of people been waiting for this big HP Event just to hear the same old song-its ridiculous.
[General Topics] themirthfulswami:
Understandable prediction. I can certainly see how you could come to that conclusion. Honestly i like Android but i've come to realize that its too dependent on manufacturers to keep phones up to date. I feel like im back on winmo. I appreciate all the work the rom.makers put in but flashing really isn't my cup of tea.

I enjoyed using and developing for webos. The only reason i bought the epic was because my pre died and sprint wanted 100 bucks for a refurb.. figured id give the epic a try.

[General Topics] Ranger093:
I'm not gonna lie I really really liked the WebOS on my pre. Multi-Tasking was AWESOME I loved the cards. However the hardware sucked!
[General Topics] themirthfulswami:
Disclaimer : This is IMO, completely. I have no expectation that anyone will agree, and I acknowledge ahead of time that my position on this matter is semi-unique. I am a corporate web app developer and I also created two apps for webOS. When I learned that Adobe was releasing AIR for Android and I could use my existing Flash/AIR skills to dev for Android, I thought it'd be a great opportunity. So I decided to pick up an Epic to replace my half-broken Pre and branch out.

After a few months of living with Android, I will put it this way : I like the Epic hardware, but the combination of the Samsung update debacle, the OS fragmentation, and Google's laissez-faire attitude toward the use of their OS, I can't justify spending another dime or development man-hour on Android devices. Perhaps in the future, if things change a bit, I will revisit it.

Clarification :

- Samsung - we all know this story well. I'm particularly annoyed because the lack of stock 2.2 has kept me from testing my AIR apps on my own device. My fault for buying Epic over EVO, I know I wouldn't have had that issue if I'd have gotten a different phone. Shame on me. (Side note : no, rooting/flashing is not an acceptable solution in my case because as a developer I need to guarantee that my apps work on stock devices).

- Fragmentation/Custom OEM API implementation - we know this story too. To some it's an issue, to others it's not. To me, as a developer, it's huge. My tipping point came recently with the release of Worms from EA. Doesn't work on my phone. Crashes every single time. Why? They don't know. I don't know. Works on other 2.1 phones, just not my particular Epic. As a user, it's an annoyance. For a developer, it's a total WTF.

- Google's attitude - I love Google. I respect what they have done, and I'm a very loud proponent of open-source software. IMO, Android today is an example of open-source gone berzerk. OEMs create thier own hackneyed implementations of the OS.. some good, some bad.. and Google doesn't seem to care either way. They recently got peeved because the app sales in the market weren't what they were hoping for.. I wonder why? No guarantee things will work on one phone or another.. no controls in place to make sure they do.. OEMs go off half-cocked releasing phones they can't update because their software implementations are so jury-rigged.. Google shrugs it off.

Anyway, like I said, this is all IMO. I don't expect you all to agree, these are simply conclusions that I have come to after using the platform for a few months. Also, I make no implication that anyone else's opinions are invalid or incorrect in any way.

[General Topics] vbetts:
What functionality does Webos and android share? It really doesn't share much at all, I don't see how it looks like ios either. Big icons compared to Android. I like Webos, don't get me wrong. But the biggest problem with the old Palm Pre, pixi, and Pre plus, is Webos started off with problems that weren't fixed until Webos 1.4, and there was bad marketing for it. The Pixi commercial left a bad taste in peoples mouth.

I doubt it will, but if Webos has near the support from developers that Android has, then I would consider it again. I had a Palm Pre before and it was nice, small screen but webOS made great use of it. Pretty nice hardware in it too. Better than what the first gen Android devices had at least.
