[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] paulshields:
Probably not the answer you want, but get both :). I've had an iPad since day one but it sees very little use since the Galaxy Tab came out. However that's more my increasing disdain towards where Apple is taking iOS than anything else. I'll be in the market for a decent Android 10" tablet come the spring/summer. The Galaxy Tab is useful for 90% of my needs - portability, flexibility etc. When I'm home and slumped on the sofa then a 10" may take its place. As Android is so flexible when it comes to running multiple devices I just see them as just different entry points into my central data. Phone, tablet, bigger tablet - they each have their benefits and drawbacks. I'm expecting Ice Cream to be available for my nexus one around summertime, and it may well be the best OS for the Tab too (as hardware-wise it's more of a big phone than a smaller tablet - those 4 physical buttons make it so), and of course Honeycomb on the new 10" tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cyber Warrior:
For my needs I'm glad I didn't wait for The SGT2. For me...7" is the perfect size for viewing and portability. My Galaxy Tab fits perfect in my pocket if I have to but I just carry it around in its case. I figured anything 7" and above and I might as well carry around my 10" laptop. I can see the 10" Tab being used more around the house.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay so it looks like there is a problem with applying the current perm root instructions to the Telus Desire HD... soliciting input here on how to make a proper root guide for Telus.

Something about the RUU downgrade to an earlier firmware is causing the DHD to lose sound (headset, speaker, everything). The perm-root and radio S-OFF proceeds as normal but sound is gone.

I've suggested that the next step could be to try and flash the Telus Ace RUU after getting radio S-OFF. Still awaiting confirmation as to whether this fixes the sound problem. One person attempted to flash back the Telus radio and this did not fix it. So it's got to be something else. HBOOT maybe?

So my question is, if you're on a higher build number (1.84.661.1) but you also have already achieved radio S-OFF, is there now any way to root the phone or install custom recovery? Without downgrading by RUU again?

Those of you who have experience with the DHD already might have some brilliant ideas, so I thought I'd ask =)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
The first thing would be to look at the TELUS firmware and see if there are any drivers that are specific for the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equlizer:
link to the file? thx :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Look in the Dev forum for the one with Telus in its name.

This thread is falling off topic though... I'm specifically asking for people who can tell me more detail about what Radio S-OFF does and doesn't allow.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Let's forget this thread and go to the Telus thread in this QA section. The problem is not in hboot or radio, those have nothing to do with sound. The problem is in the ROM, and it's drivers most probably.

There is no way to properly root Telus ROM, so it is not possible to install custom recovery while you are using it. Please check the downgrade thread for my recommendations.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay fine, forget I ever mentioned Telus in this thread. Can someone just help me understand the limits of what Radio S-OFF does and doesn't allow?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Allows: more permanent S-OFF, which does not go away when you flash OTA or RUU. Disables write protection in internal memory, so you can flash ROMs. SuperCID allows you to flash anything from any carrier. Disables version checking, so you can sail between newer and older ROMs easily.

Does not allow: fastboot commands in bootloader, such as fastboot flash radio. So you cannot flash a radio & splash1 etc without ENG S-OFF.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay... so let's say you have radio S-OFF and you're using a newer build that normally wouldn't be rootable. Could you:

- Get the temporary rootshell (which is part of the downgrade instructions anyway)

- From the temporary rootshell, flash_image the custom recovery (which should be writable due to S-OFF)

- Reboot into custom recovery?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
You would have to dd the recovery in, but yes that would work. Use command:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

I still do not get why you would want to downgrade, get S-OFF, go back to Telus, and then get ClockworkMod..

You may have to install busybox to get dd working, in that case call it with "busybox dd if=..."
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Well it's a conceivable scenario. Suppose you get your S-OFF, and then later on you have a reason to want to go back to stock RUU. The next time you want to be rooted or flash a custom ROM, wouldn't this be faster than doing a full downgrade first?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Well, ok, but who would want to go back to stock when there are custom roms.. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Sometimes flashing a pure stock ROM is the only cure for having gotten a little too exuberant in one's hacking ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Well, full wipe does the same trick.

[Thunderbolt General] aodmisery:
good info but i think most people here want to know release date and if there will be an up charge for 4g service more than anything else.
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
if its going to be 249 and both bestbuy and verizon, it'll come down to who gives me new every 2 discount
[Thunderbolt General] karnovaran:
I'm really disappointed with the $749 price tag. Hopefully Verizon offers it cheaper online.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
This supports the 14th because the flyer doesn't say coming soon
[Thunderbolt General] bobbysteels216:
Exactly.

Let's do some thinking. DroidLife says that this Best Buy ad is due for the week of the 20. Although we don't see a February 20th date on the ad (or at least I didn't) let's presume that it IS the Best Buy ad for the 20th for a second. Okay, notice how the ad DIDN'T mention anything about preorder; this confirms that the Thunderbolt will already released and therefore ensures a February 14th or 17th launch at Best Best even if Verizon and other third party vendors don't sell the phone on those dates for whatever reason.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I hope this is right, I want this phone and I'm going t terminate my current line and sign up for another two year, its still cheaper than the 800 you would hafta dish out for the phone
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
You know what makes this worse? They are missing half the ad and probably the release date when they took this
[G Tablet General] MasterN02:
In case any of your are interested in an extended warranty for your G Tablet, Mack Camera offers extended warranties on just about everything. The only stipulation is that you purchase and register the warranty within 30 days of purchasing the product (the product can be refurbished, but must have a 90 day warranty I believe).

Here's the cheapest warranty that covers the G Tablet. I verified this with Mack Camera this morning over the phone:

http://www.avalive.com/Mack-Extende...e=googleBase&utm_medium=feed&utm_content=1095

I have purchased Mack Camera warranties from AVAlive before and have had no problems whatsoever with them. I believe I will be getting this and thought that many of you may not know about it.

God Bless!

[General Questions and Answers] TheWarKeeper:
Hey all, this is a great forum so ive decided its the best 1 to post about my issue too: ive got my phone locked, now ive paid for it to be unlocked and i think its only fair that i can be able to remove the software that comes with the phone from the phone carrier which i dont need: like uno trial, guitar hero trial etc...

So ive heard that i need to root my phone but i am totally unexperient at this as ive never done it before and never had an android phone before so please could someone give me a full step by step guide of what i need to do to root my xperia x10 mini pro android 2.1 update 1? its a great deal for me as not only it should help me remove useless apps that keep installing themselves once i restart the phone but it also helps me install apps on the SD card rather than on the limited 128mb phone internal memory.

Thanks very much in advance!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
Well, my MT4G was dropped in a cup of tea (long story) and the top half was submerged in water for maybe 4-6 seconds. I immediately pulled the battery, removed the micro-SD and SIM cards and put the phone in rice. The screen looked like there was water in it. At first I thought it was inside the screen protector, but it turns out it wasn't. How long should I leave it in the rice? Also, has anyone else had their MT4G fall in water? If so, did it function after drying it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
at LEAST 24 hours. Water isn't what causes issues with phones, its the corrosion and shorts it causes that are the problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenrippy:
i dropped my mt3g in a half full 5gal bucket of clean water. it ruined the battery, but after leaving it in a bag of rice for about 24hrs it was fully functional again. not sure how that will translate to the mt4g, but that's my history with water & rice. good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
It seems like it wasn't damaged too bad considering everyone else whose dropped it have either submerged it or had it wet for a long time. Anyways, I hope it still works.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdaviso:
I dropped mine in a clean toilet with the led flashlight on at 330 am.lol it was pretty funny to see a toilet lit up like that! I pulled the battery asap and It was in rice 36 hours and all was good it did have a little discoloration in the screen first run but it cleared up after a few hours on. Hope you get as lucky as I did.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Thats it exactly. Considering what the phone was dropped in was not plain water, he will have major issues. I doubt just drying it out is enough. If the tea had sugar in it, the problem is worse still. The compounds in tea and sugar will be conductive and corrosive, that is bad, even if it was fully dry there will be problems.

You need to seriously clean the device now. Use 100% pure isopropyl alcohol or pure denatured alcohol to clean electronics. And it would be best to take apart the outside case and expose the circuits. Use a spray bottle and spray it down until it comes clean. The alcohol will clean the tea out and it drives off the water. heck, you could dunk the phone in it a few times even. Just let the alcohol dry for several hours in a warm spot, air movement will help as well. Alcohol is perfectly safe for electronics, it is all that I use when doing repairs. Isopropyl is what is used in rubbing alcohol, but that is not 100% isopropyl so do not use that.

First advice though, before breaking into the phone to clean it, check the water exposure sticker. If it is not discolored meaning that it was exposed to water, clean the outside of the phone with alcohol well, and send it in for warranty if it does not work.

Never really understood how the rice thing works, seems if it did draw out the water, you could cook rice by leaving it out on a humid day. Maybe in the closed system inside a sealed container, it evens out the humidity level and allows the water to evaporate naturally more quickly.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
It was just water that had a teabag in it. No sugar. Also, where is the water exposure sticker?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdaviso:
Bottom half lol under battery it should be a white circle not red at all. Its possible it has an internal one but I'm not tearing in to mine to find out
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
I just took the phone out real quick to look at it, and it's been about 22 hours. I didn't put the battery in yet, but the screen still looks like there is water in it. In the top left corner, it looks like there is water there. If it's still the same after 22 hours, how much longer should I leave it in there? Also, the water indicator looks like it's white. I'll try and post some pictures later.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
How long had it been brewing? If it was still mostly clear, you should be ok, but if not the compounds in the tea can cause issues.

With that much water, it could take a long time. The longer the water sits in the phone the worse it gets. Standing water like that is never good.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalab0y:
forgive my ignorance. but why 4-6 secs?

usually when a phone drops into water i would expect it to be pulled out within 1-2 secs..lol

but good luck, hope all turns out good for you
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
I turned the phone on and it works fine except for the screen which still has water in it. Here are some pics:

Any ideas on how to get it out? The rice doesn't seem to be taking the water out of the screen because it looks exactly the same as about 30 hours ago.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdaviso:
Mine had discoloration but not actual water as yours does. After I left it on and charging with stay awake checked it dried it out, after about 2 hours. Its best though to let it dry while OFF.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
You may need to crack it open, water needs exposure to evaporate efficiently. If your cracking it open, it wouldnt hurt to clean it with isopropyl like I mentioned.

If worse comes to pass, get insurance on your plan, and make a claim.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELBdelorean:
I managed to get the water out of the screen but it left a water spot where it was. Is there any way to get that off without opening the phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headhunt3r:
Just wanted to share my experience:

Woke up much earlier than usual due to work, and dropped the phone in the toilet. I grabbed it out within a couple seconds, pulled out the battery, dried everything as much as I could with kleenex, used a vaccuum to get as much out as I could, then tossed it in a zip locked bag full of rice for 48 hrs.

Phone worked as normal afterwards. $$ saved!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
on my first mytouch, I actually wanted to see how it would react to water. turned it on and left it in a sink full of cold water for about 15 mins. took it out and gave it a good shake to get most of the water out. then I just set it out on my desk, no rice or anything. after 2 full days, I put the battery back in and it booted back up just fine, no discoloration or water in the screen...no hiccups in performance or anything. I wouldnt recommend anyone to just go throw their phone in some water, but this is what I experienced

I'm trying to set up ADB on a Windows 7 PC as I prefer it over using my old XP PC. However, whenever my phone is connected with USB Debugging enabled the whole PC freezes. The only was to reverse it is to switch the computer off by the mains and back on again.

Anyone else experienced this? I can use HTC Sync though! I'm using Blayo's ROM in case that matters.
[Legend General] psyionx:
thats sounds like your pc problem. i'm using win 7 ultimate and pro without problem. i've not tested on a 64bit system tho...
[Legend General] Shizar7:
had the same problem..

now everything is ok.. i think it was some app.. killd every app on the nexus s after that windows is running now 2h before it freezes every ~10min.

reason? maybe some app send to much/strange data over the USB port?

(i also enabled and disabled the ADB Interface driver in Device manager, but i think this was not the solution...)

EDIT: Thought had the solution, but it was just coincidence that win7 didn't crash... still have the same problem :(
[Legend General] jabbado:
Another thing you could try when these things happen is to reinstall the usb ports/drivers. Do this by going to Device Manager, right clicking on all the "USB Root Hub" and select uninstall. Once you've done that for all of them, reboot the pc and Windows will find and install them again.

Also check your firewall/AV isn't blocking anything.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
The Swype Beta is open. You may want to register.

Why s15274n?

Because some of the roms are removing swype and includig the swype installer instead.

Why do that you ask?

Because it allows you to have the most updated version of Swype at all times, and you can choose from the smaller/larger language packs.

I was familiar with the beta as I used it on my Nexus One. I didn't feel a need to use the beta though as it's pre-installed on the Vibrant.

I used the installer included in Trigger V2.0.1 (an AMAZING ROM FYI.. more on that later in another thread/video)... I am on Swype version 2.17.59.15552.t100. Not sure what you are using, or what version is stock, but I have to say I've never been happier with Swye. You also may notice a difference.

Because of this, and the potential for the beta to close, I would encourage you guys to register while you can.

Very easy process.

Go to the SWYPE BETA page and follow their instruction. Post if you have Q's.

IMPORTANT POINTS

If your ROM includes the Swype Installer (like Trigger) you will not need to download the Installer (obviously).

If you are stock, or if your rom includes swype you would need to completely remove swype from your phone before you could download and use the installer.

You can just register and do nothing if you do not want to.... just plan for the future if you think this may be of interest to you. Again, who knows how long the beta will be open.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Thanks for the heads up.............:cool:
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
yeah i was surprised by why devs didn't include the new swype before...

it works better

and it feels better.

its just quicker and the words work better than before.

it learns even quicker.

and the whole keyboard is a little bit more bigger for finger space.
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
Note: deleting the old swype from your device requires you to delete libswypecore.so (I think) from your system/lib folder and then removing the apk in system followed by a reboot. Only then will you be able to install the beta.
