[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwelland:
I am 7" fan, too. Would love to see a SGT with the specs of the new 10.1" SGT 2 (or xoom), but with 7" screen. I am not big man, but "rounded in middle" (spare tire). I can fit my SGT in back pocket, nicely. It has fully replaced my Nexus 1.

For the 7" fans, the question maybe to stick with SGT 1 or maybe look at Acer a100 (http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=13010) -- appears to be 7" but with Tegra 2 (and a bump in a few other areas). The 7" form factor may have been validated with rumors about a 7" ipad (but those rumor seem unsubstantiated) -- so that might make more manufacturers take notice.

What would be really intersting, IMHO, 6", or 6.5" with SGT (or better) specs. I am not sure a 5" with 1024x600 would work..

LG has an 8.9" odd ball too.....

I think there is some more to come from MWC...maybe sammy has a refresh for the 7" sgt too?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattr0:
Don't forget Dell has a 7" tablet too and it has dual core CPU (unlike our SGT 7"). The only downer is screen size is 800x480.

I don't think you could buy a SGT (no contract) lesser than $450 unless used. Streak 7" is $450 no contract.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polbit:
I was in the same boat - bought my GT two weeks ago on T-Mobile, hoping that if there is an announcement about GT2, I can take a look at it before my return window closes. And at 10" no thank you. I actually had an iPad for few months (my wife wanted it more than me...) but just sold it, because it kept sitting unused, as it was too big for a book reader or to take it with me everywhere, but too small for good browsing (have a 14.1" laptop with 1680x1050 res for that).

I looked at the Dell Streak 7, but that screen just plain sucks. It looks like Dell was trying to build something nice, then just decided last minute that 7" won't work, so they found the cheapest LCD they could lay their hands on. Not to mention the battery life...

While it would be nice to have a GT with dual-core, 1Gb RAM and all that, I think the current hardware is more than capable, and will run Honeycomb just fine. My next tablet would have to be a lot more powerful, and have higher res screen.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zozodouce:
i will stay with my 7'' tab

the best thing about the tab is it's size and the cell phone. i dont want to go back walking around with two devices in my pocket, i used to have an iphone & a big ass ipad so i know what is like to walk with two devices not cool lol.who ever makes the next 7'' tab with all the good stuff and a cell phone included i'm buying that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin^Tan:
AFAIK the tab 10.1 can't be used as a phone
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gillebob:
Well i came to the tab from a dell streak and i'll tell ya the tab does everything way better than the streak, except fit in your pocket...... i wont be going back to the streak.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dardack:
Yea I've read about the Dell 7", not getting that for sure. Screen rez alone plus battery life, no TY.

So there is another 7" Tab coming?

EDIT: That Ace 7" seems nice, plus a WIFI only version. No word on release in USA tho, only Europe.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwelland:
FYI: HTC annouced the 'flyer' at MWC. This is a 7" too. 1.5ghz, 1024x600, cameras, android 2.4 (?) or honeycomb, etc. GSM voice support unknown.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
I think i may return my GT and wait for this. I will only be buying one Tab, so I gotta make the right choice.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwelland:
Here is a decent comparison matrix of the newly announced Android tablets

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/02/1...-lg-g-slate-vs-samsung-tab-10-1-vs-htc-flyer/

no mention of phone/voice on any of these; this is a deal breaker for some of us.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin^Tan:
It's a deal breaker for me as i was a "one gadget man"

my main reason i go with samsung was because it can be used as a phone

if it isn't i'd go with htc already

if flyer can be used as a phone too, i might be jumping ship to htc ^^
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
The Tab records 720 video? Since when?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawces:
there will always be new and 'better' gadgets out there. IMO it all comes down to what you intend to do with a device,how well it can do those things, and how much you are willing to pay. For instance, my SGT lets me do everything I need it to do,pretty decently for what I payed for it. end if story. until I need to do something the SGT can't handle,then ill think of upgrading. A 1.5-2ghz dual core processor and 2gb ram does sound sweet, but can you think of something you need to do on a mobile device that can maximize that power?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattr0:
Yes, try to have Pandora running, Exchange syncing, animated wallpaper, 2 tab browsers, scrolling on the browser won't be butter smooth anymore (was cooking and trying to read the recipe). I haven't overclocked mine yet so might pull the trigger 1 day.

It might also depend on the web site you're viewing, obviously.

You will never have enough power. We just don't have enough good coders :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvinlts:
Quite true. The tab, overclocked as it is, handles everything I throw at it so far - with the exception of certain flash websites (games in particular) and xvid videos. And perhaps (future) 3D games.

The thing is, as a gadget person I'd like to know where my "next step" can be, where my, as they say, "upgrade path" lies. For now, I see no viable upgrade to my very portable galaxy tab.

I'm beginning to suspect that Google has indeed imposed certain restrictions on using honeycomb on a 7" screen. :(
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtchan:
What do you guys think of Asus's EEE Memo Pad? It's 7.1" purportedly coming with Honeycomb and with phone capability.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattr0:
That's very interesting. I like the IPS screen, microHD, and stylus option. I would definitely keep this on the list.

There is also Huawei S7 but the battery & weight was a downer for me. They're coming out with the slim version but when looking at the back of the demoed device, it looks like they still use the same battery. It's replaceable but nowhere near SGT battery life.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beestee:
I think samsung haven't announced the next 7" tablet yet because the current 7" galaxy tab is still new and selling. They have already shown off a 7" SAMOLED fitted into a galaxy tab, so they are obviously doing more than thinking about it. The 10" tab announce won't hurt sales of the current 7" model, but an announcement of a 7" SAMOLED version running honeycomb with those high specs would definitely mark the end of profit on the tab 1.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdr8:
While not quite 720, there was a post today regarding the use of the "lgcamera" app to do 1024x600 h264 recording from the Tab. I think the Tab's rear camera is more than capable of doing 1280x720 video; it's just a software limitation. Unfortunately lgcamera crashes when you try a higher res, so some tweaking may be in order.

Sorry for the OT, just thought I'd mention this.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samspunker:
The question is, as always, how will you use this piece of hardware?

Any hammer can drive a nail into wood, but a tack hammer is better suited for upholstering a chair than a sledge hammer.

A 10" screen is like carrying a netbook around. Maybe it is more powerful, but that comes at a sacrafice of portability. The Tab is highly portable and more than powerful enough for the average

user.

To me there is an inherant design flaw in the larger tablets. They are trying to

replace notebooks and be "serious" computers. But we are built in such a way that we are comfortable having our hands resting on a keyboard and our eyes looking at a screen. The position required for tablet work is bent over, thus creating eye, neck, and shoulder strain as well as curved back positions. I predict we will begin seeing medical reports soon about this.

There is a device that has 2 screens set in a hinged cover. This is simply a touch notebook with a virtual keyboard that can be changed easily for other screens. But it is still just a notebook.

When my phone and iPod Touch began acting up last fall I looked at the iPad, and quickly discarded the idea. I next decided to get a Galaxy S. Then i saw the Tab. Suddenly I knew this was the one!!! It was love at first sight.

Sleek, sexy, fits my hand like a book, unique (at the time) and it did everything I wanted it to do on a screen that was large enough to be easy to read.

So again, what will you use it for? That should always be the deciding factor in purchasing any hardware.

But.......... there is always that “cool“ factor ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkelley:
for the person saying google may indeed have locked down hc for 7" devices, since hc runs great on the 7" b&n nook color already - which ahs same screen resolution and size as the tab 7" - the proof already exists that it's ok for the tab.

samsung won't do it for us - but clever devs @ xda will now that the xoom is out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyveafk:
Aye, the 7" form factor rocks. It'd be a great idea for Sammy to drop in a refreshed Tab with the newer Tab innards.

6"? I'd LOVE to see that formfactor.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
The gpu of our tab is comparable to the tegra 2 gpu in galaxy 10.1 so in games no difference and 7inch is the perfect size for tabs and in quadrant the processor gives good benchmarks even higher than motorola xoom on it's screen
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e654777:
7" already big. 10" is bigger. Very much depend on preference and usage.

NOOO! there is a 8.9 one too! it's dualcore!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rosenbj:
I am running the "Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 CWR for eMMC". I tried Honeycomb on the SD card but it was too slow and didn't want to flash my internal memory with Honeycomb until GA. Most of the applications work quite well. A few don't.

One application that I really want to get working is the Sirius/XM app. I know that many devices have issues with this app. Someone on the "Slatedroid forums" implies that it is related to the Android_ID but this unit (OS) does have a valid Android_ID (although "SIM SERIAL, DEVICE ID and SUBSCRIBER ID are all "null".

Anyway, I am stuck at the infamous "Checking for Updates" screen after attempting to login.

Has anyone gotten past this screen using the Sirius app on the Nook Color running any mod?

Thanks in advance,

JR
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] secfincorp:
I have had the same problem. I cant remember but I think the only time XM worked for me was on the Nook 1.01 software. I havent gotten it to work either. I would love to hear of a workaround as well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rosenbj:
Anyone? There has to be a way to get this working.

I don't supposed changing the "media.stagefright.enable-player" to false in the build.props file would address the "checking for updates". I read a lot about this for issues with streaming issues with the Sirius app when Froyo was just released.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
Anyone got this to work?

I finally found the 1.1 version as it was hidden in the market.. but now that it's installed I'm stuck on the "checking for updates" as well :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Take a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965301

Edit: Sorry I misread. You're on Froyo. Please disregard post.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
I don't think this specific problem is limited to Froyo.The thread you highlighted is more about a program closing. That's not what's happening with the Sirius app.

Specially, I'm seeing this on GTab's Vegan Gingerbread ROM myself.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
Just to followup on my own reply.. I was wrong :)

racks11479 solution worked great for me -- or atleast pointed me in the right direction. After patching the framework.jar file found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955847 My Sirius app started up and is currently running 100% :)

Note I'm running Vegan Gingerbread (which is based off of CM7)..

Not everything is working - for example the USA Today still closes after launch.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Glad it worked somewhat for your device. Cause I have USA Today on my nook CM7 v3 with my patched framework and it launches fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
Yeah I don't have a nook (I landed here doing a Sirius search) I have the Viewsonic G-Tablet ..

And I got the USA Today to work, I just needed a newer version. I can't get the latest one from the market as it doesn't show up, but I got a newer one than I had and it loaded up and works great now!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Awesome. Yeah it seems that alot of apps will FC due to the CM7 ROM reporting our IMEI/AndroidID as null. And some apps are reliant on it to function properly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
when I get enough posts to allow me to post in the development section ... :) ... I'll post something in that thread to see about getting this patch integrated into the ROM to make life easier.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Just a heads up. But the CM7 team is fully aware of the issue an is working on getting a permanent fix to the issue so we won't need this workaround anymore.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hallandnash:
Is this ever going to be patched? I just upgraded to the latest cm7 stable, and I still have to patch manually

hi,

i got a HTC Rhodium / Vario V with the build in SIP by HTC (v. 2.1 1119.1320)

is it possible to switch to the numeric pad programmatically, if a certain control gets the focus in my application?

i tried to use SipEnumIM / SipSetCurrentIM but it seems like there is only one SIP installed and the switch between alphabetic and numeric keypad is made in the sip internaly...

Hello

I'm thinking about buying bluetooth headphones for my Touch Pro 2. So far the only one bluetooth audio device which i used was BH104 from Nokia but it wasn't for listening to music but for talking - so the quality of sound was very bad.

I would like to don't have a cable connected to rhodium in my pocket - so bluetooth headphones could be good for me. For example this one : http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/ee-uk/Products/Pages/JabraBT3030.aspx Anyone used this or other similar headphones with rhodium, blackstone or similar device? I would like to know something about sound quality. Is it better or the same like from Creative EP630 which i use now? What about battery usage with bluetooth headphones?

Any opinion would be good for me, so please post :)

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Thunder Blade:
Nobody know?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Sublimedelta9:
I don't have any experience with the headphones you mentioned, but I have the Moto S9 HD's and they're pretty great.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fg:
I use the jabra bt3030. it's okay, but due to the design, has no noise cancellation and picks up wind and background noise during a call.

Note, the bt3030 are not really headphones, but a small dog-tag looking adapter for any 3.5mm headphones you like. the included chain is too long for comfortable use and the detachable clip is a bit flimsy. i use them primarily with retractable cable over the ear headphones from sony to listen to music and generally just have the bt3030 dangling from the headpones at whatever length is comfy. sound is good, using with video can be a bit much if you're watching divx or similar heavy codecs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Thunder Blade:
Firstly, thanks for info's. Yes, i know that i can connect every headphones to bt3030. I have headphones to connect, all i want is the wireless listening to the music. So if the bluetooth connection is good, then sound quality will be good too. I just wanted to know about dog-tag. How about bass level with it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] swaters3:
I use sony hbh ds 980 stereo bluetooth headphones and they work great. you wear a necklace which has two ear buds on a wire. on the controller you can see who is calling, scroll through contacts, call history and use voice command. as far as music there is a volume rocker, track forward and back, play/pause. Music comes through loud and clear as does calls. I never had any complaints as far as people hearing me either. the batterey lasts a full day of heavy usage. Let me know if you have any questions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Robert's PDA:
I use the Sony HBH-DS970 and it's AWESOME! I've had it for many years, used it first with my Touch Pro, now with the TP2. The battery is getting weak though, when I first got it it lasted for about 6 hours now it's about 3. When I get a new one I'm gonna get the new version (HBH-DS980). Both versions have great features: Caller ID, separate volume controls for calls & music, you can pause/play, skip (forward, & back) music & videos, The "call" button on the cord not only lets you take and end calls but it also lets you access "Voice Command" which is great. Oh, and it pauses your music when calls come in & starts it again when you're finished. These are "stereo" headsets and the sound is incredible, deep bass and all. They come with VERY soft in-ear "buds" that you won't mind wearing all day (different sizes) VERY comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this headset. The only bad thing I guess would be that it doesn't have replaceable batteries. Oh, one other thing, if you are overclocking your device make sure to disable whatever overclocking program you're using before connecting & using the headsets (that causes all kinds of issues and freezes when you're pausing & playing; among other things, not quite sure why). When you're done with the headset you can turn overclocking back on.

P.S. DO NOT buy this off of eBay! I did that to save money, they are fake, they last for about two months then fall apart. When I got the "real" one I could NOT tell them apart even though I knew which one was the "real" one, those fakes are that good. Get it from amazon or somewhere you already trust.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] GT247:
I use the Plantronics Backbeat 903, they work amazing for both music and call quality...I've experienced with MANY good bluetooth headsets, they ALL at times fail with in call quality...from motorola, jawbone, plantronics...Ive never purchased the cheap sets, and regardless, theyre bound at some point to have an occasional call where the other party mentions some sort of weirdness to the call quality...the Backbeats have had very few instances of this...they're "considered" multipoint as they can be sync'd to multiple devices, but only for music, they do not have "true" multipoint, as the jawbone does, to handle calls to two phones simultaneously...regarding the music playback quality,...amazing

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock617:
I would enjoy doing it myself, I want to learn how....any guides out their I just found guides for whole phone theming not keyboards lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply ;)

The basic idea is you're going to

1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling

2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)

3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.

Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.

Hey everybody, Noob here, hoping some of you might be able to shed some light for me, ive been searching and reading the past couple days about rooting, installing custom roms, themes ect. But i am trying to install the custom rom and have not been able to figure it out.

So far i Have done the DoRootWin root

downloaded titanium backup

downloaded astro

Downloaded the Fisson Rom Manager lite (donated $5 in hopes of getting the full version password)

downloaded the droid 2 bootstrapper

downloaded a custom rom and installed it

but every time i reboot after installing the rom, but the phone is the same no custom rom or themes ect i know i must be doing something wrong because when i searched it said turn off and press and hold powerbutton and volume button at same time.

Sorry for the life story post and the noob post, but ive been quite stuck for a while now and if anyone could help me out with directing me to the walkthrough, how to ect ill go sit im my corner and read some more
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
Make sure you wipe data/cache before installing any custom ROM. Some do it for you but not all of them.
[Droid 2 General] mikesxrs:
what program(s) do that, mine are not clearing cache
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
How did you install the ROM. If it's Fission you should be able to do that from FRM if it's not then you don't really need FRM. All you need is Bootstrap.

Reboot into recovery from bootstrapper.

(In recovery use the volume keys to scroll and the camera side key to select and back out of a menu with power button)

Install zip from sdcard after you make a backup and then mount system and data.
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
I believe in this last sentence he was saying the following:

Make a backup

Mount System and Data

Choose install zip from sdcard

Here's a few

There are several other vendors that use the same power adapter with different markings on it. Kodak uses them in their digital photo frames and there are several vendors on eBay if you don't mind it coming from China and waiting a month to get it.

This vendor on Amazon has a few in stock (just the adapter). I bet you can get it overnighted.

Link to Amazon seller

If you do want to search for it on the Internet or in eBay use "MPA-630" in the search criteria.

Also, that's a mini-usb port on the side of the gTab, not a micro-usb port.
