[General Questions and Answers] sliex:
There is no general section for android hadrware so i thought i'd ask here, since it's somewhat related.

I own both Samsung Galaxy S and Tab, and being what it it SGS can't record worth s**t. Only caller side can be recorded, which is a pity.

Tab wont be used for this, i havent even tried recording with it.

I used to record calls with my old HTC Touch Pro, no problems. For some reason SGS cant.

So, my question is: which of the highest tier android phones can reliably record both sides of conversation ? Not the speakerphone way, but properly, taking audio from internal hardware...

I'm about to renew my contract and i'd rather pick something that can be used as a recorder...
[General Questions and Answers] evilkorn:
I don't think any android phone can at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] 5thAgent:
Incorrect. MIUI ROMs have call recording built in.
[General Questions and Answers] sliex:
MIUI for Galaxy S ? (UK)
[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
NONSENSE. MIUI cannot make phones which can not by hardware record phone calls magically do so. IE: All or most HTC phones, and according to the OP, Samdung phones.

There are multiple apps out there for this functionality, but it will only record both sides of a phone call on a lot of phones if you use the speaker. It can't record the headset portion of the call, only that coming from the microphone.

well with the htc hero it is possible with a custom kernel

according to leedroid it is with a custom kernel possible with a Desire HD too, but not stable
[General Questions and Answers] weirder:
Hey

There is a Chinese phone out there wich does have it stock. You can actually flash it on the galaxy s.

Don't know if you are afraid of flashing the phone, but darky s rom 9.3 has it integrated. It is still in beta though.

Look in the development section of the galaxy s forum. There is a callrecording topic wich explains it all.

Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] DWK:
The HTC HD2 with almost any rooted rom will do it. The only problem is that if you make a call from the bluetooth using voice dial (or any 3rd party app) the audio is lost in the speaker or phone if you switch from bluetooth. The only way to ceoorect is to re-boot. Not very practicle, but perfect if you don't bluetooth voice dial.
[General Questions and Answers] HTCinToronto:
Desire HD on CM7 nightly and LordMod kernel, see my signature.

Records both sides of the call. Some people report issues. My experience has been flawless.

I just rooted my Vibrant a few days ago and installed Bionix V. I also installed Scarlet Leftovers theme yesterday. The 3G network was working fine , and I was able to zip around in the market and on the web. Today the 3G icon is gone, and I can't get into the market or the web. Is there a fix for this or do I have to uninstall the theme? And how do i uninstall the theme if need be? Hopefully I won't have to odin back to stock and start over. Thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
@ kev

You need to download an older version of flash and install it or download the newest version off the marketplace and install it, search and you'll find em.

@n33dy

Never encountered your problem before. As in the screen is blank as if it was in standby? Or does it keep on one particular frame of the video and not move, but sound keeps playing, and the device doesn't respond?

If it's the latter, it is that you've run out of RAM and need to free it up by either closing some apps, or you can soft reset your device.

Or you could just try a different rom and maybe you won't have the problem anymore.

I copied the system files into my root system folder... makesure superuser is granted to root explorer.

Step by step,

Open root explorer

Find your downloaded files and copy the files from the 'lib' folder.

goto your root folders and open the lib folder which is inside the system folder.

Paste the files there, this will replace the existing files.

Now go back to your downloaded files and copy the one form the etc folder.

Go back to root, system open etc and then paste that 1 file.

Reboot and it should be running now.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
So guys I have a HD2 but sadly the LCD is cracked so it's annoying me a fair bit. The price is a bit steep to get it repaired too (€150+). So was looking online for a replacement and seen this

Does this sound fixable by flashing a different ROM or maybe MAGLDR and running Android or is it a most likely a hardware issue? AFAIK it boots to HSPL okay.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Not really easy to tell from distance. Some more information would be helpful.

Yes, in many cases, bad flashes can cause many errors. Also, especially in the recent past, many people flashed wrong SPL/HSPL or Radio ROM versions. In addition, some Android builds, if this was used, seem to leave a certain electronic footprint on the device´s memory, all of which could be solved more or less easily.

But then again, there are quite some users, especially with irregular restarts, who had their HD2´s fixed or replaced due to mainboard problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
As tictac said, its hard to tell.

The fact that the seller mentions trying to correct the problem by reflashing suggests that they at least have a basic knowledge of this kind of thing and how to correct it so personally I would jump to the conclusion that its a hardware probem.

You might get lucky and find that they just arent following the correct steps to fix a software issue but if your patient you could grab a fully functional HD2 from ebay for the same price.

That said, if you were to buy it and find you couldnt fix the problem then you could always put it back on ebay and more than likely break even on what you paid....

Personally though, I'd wait it out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
He said it could be easily fixed but he doesn't have the time and he's not bothering as he has an iPhone 4. I'm going to ask him to try install MAGLDR and if he can should it be okay?

Btw, what sort of information should I ask for? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
That just makes me suspicious becase if it could be easily fixed then why wouldnt he just fix it :confused: if it can be fixed by flashing then its a 10 minute job. Even someone with a really tight schedule can find 10 mins...

If its been reflashed and the problem persists then theres a good chance its hardware.........

[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
I have seen many tablet polls asking about the right size of the tablet that the people want.

The results are that the 10" tablet is the favorite size for most people, but I wonder.....

Do that people have tasted both the 7" and the 10" tablet before making a choice?

I have brought this subject because I'm thinking that the manufacturers think that what the people want is 10" , when actually, they could have better with a 7" or 8" tablet.

come to think about it, reading on a 10" display is not cool, besides you need to hold it with two hands because of the weight.

The gaming experience is much better on a 7" tablet.

The GPS Navigator is much much better on a 7".

We cannot deny that browsing webpages on 10" is much better, but I'm not only browsing on my tablet.

I Suggest to read this article, it's called "The iPad likes to stay at home" Guess why?

http://www.computerweekly.com/blogs/inspect-a-gadget/2010/10/the-ipad-likes-to-stay-at-home.html

what do you think??
[Galaxy Tab General] SDW90808:
"Do that people have tasted both the 7" and the 10" tablet before making a choice?"

I bought an iPad after seeing them used prominently at a recent conference. Less than 24 hours later, I returned it.

However, I looked at the Galaxy Tab and fell in love. Can't imagine the 10" screen over the 7". For me, it's just a much more ergonomic choice. But some people like Chevy's; others like Fords. Or Honda's and Toyota's if you prefer.
[Galaxy Tab General] hdbueller:
Same here. The Tab is way cool!! It is taking a little bit to get used to a 7" screen phone tho...... LOL Although today I took my Streak 5 with me instead and really missed the Tab. Now if I could only find a good horizontal case with belt loops for the Tab, life would be very good..... ;)

[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
My wife bought an iPad 4 months ago and has been using it daily since she bought it. I bought a T-mobile Galaxy Tab 3 weeks ago and have unlocked it, flashed several different roms and modems and installed a sim card from one of T-mobile's competitors.

The iPad is a nice piece of hardware in its own right, but the Galaxy Tab is a far more mobile device than the iPad and has voice capabilities.

My wife now wants the same setup that I have with the Tab because it fits into her purse (not the iPad) and it has the voice capabilities.

I like both devices, but I prefer the Tab over the iPad for the simple reason that it has much better mobility.

As far as I'm concerned 7 inches is just about perfect for a tablet/phone device and until something much better comes along...I'm staying with the Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
I don't use my galaxy for phone capabilities because my sprint is not activated, I use it adhoc-ed with my X10 for wifi-only.

After seeing some other tablets, the Acer Iconia A100 is a 7" with honeycomb and tegra 2, looks like what I'm looking for.

Although I might choose the LG Optimus pad in favor of their 8.9" , but I still need to decide if I'm really going to keep my tablet on my home for leisure time because of its size
[Galaxy Tab General] mmace:
The Tab fits in my pocket, a 10" wouldn't

there is no competition
[Galaxy Tab General] TurboTsi:
I went to best buy today and was playing with the ipad, and it's way too big. I was browsing the internet and found it difficult to reach the inner letters of the keyboard, like g and h in both portrait and landscape mode. It is nice hardware for sure, but I think the 7" is a lot better for mobility and practicality.
[Galaxy Tab General] alvinlts:
Thing is, the Acer Iconia looks plain ugly, both in form factor and in finishing

The screen res is not up to par with the tab too
[Galaxy Tab General] doksng:
I chose the Tab due to its size and it is easier to handle and use compared to the 10 inch tablets.

Most people that I know tend to prefer 7 inch tablets after handling it, though some are still swayed by the cool factor of the ipad.
[Galaxy Tab General] schmolch:
It would be interesting too see what happens if we all had 4", 7", 10" and 12" galaxy tabs laying around at home. Which would you take with you when you go shopping, to the gym, to work or to the toilet?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I have a Desire HD (so, 4.3") and a Tab. I tend to take both whenever I go out, with a few exceptions (like the pub!), and I find that I tend to just use the Desire HD as a phone, and the Tab for everything else.

Any larger than 7", and it would likely stay at home as it wouldn't fit in jacket pocket.

I may end up getting a 10" tablet at some point, but if I do it will have a semi-permanent home on a coffee table, and would be WiFi only.

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
My tab goes everywhere, my girlfriends ipad lives in the draw.

10inch tablets are for people who think bigger is better and have no clue.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rozenthal:
When iPad was announced I was really into it. It looked great, had a big screen and as an iPhone owner, I had a good experience with Apple. That all went away the first time I saw it in person and spent some time using it.

The experience was far from perfect. That thing was big. I hated the fact that the OS was same as in iPhone. My first reaction was "wtf, so much wasted space around those icons". Soon I realized that the typing was very awkward, the finger travel distances were driving me crazy and my interest in iPad was simply gone in those 30 minutes I spent with it.

Then I got the Galaxy Tab and well... The rest is history :)

Personally, I think that poll simply shows that people do think that bigger is better - it was exactly how I felt, before actually using a 10" product.
[Galaxy Tab General] openallnight:
I personally prefer 7 inches for mobility. I wish they would make them a little wider though.. maybe 1024x800?.. I would really like a 7 inch tablet that is a little wider than the current ones available (would probably end up being 8 inches because of extra width)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
They'd need to get rid of the bezel in order to make the screen wider, as I personally think the width of the Tab is about as large as your can comfortably fit in a pocket.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Rozenthal:
Yeah, I agree, but bezel seems to be necesarry to be able to hold the device with the thumb on the top. Personally, I feel it would be great to have edge-to-edge screen that would automagically black out the left-right edges depending on the orientation, so you would be able to hold it without activating anything.

Of course, the bezels could be disabled when watching videos, or surfing the net with 2 hands etc.
[Galaxy Tab General] csmith75:
I agree. I have the iPad and love it, but it doesn't fit in my "regular" purses and I tend to carry medium to large purses. I really want a device that can go with me anywhere. Plus, as an Evo user I am used to being able to customize my devices and install roms and am not able to do so on the iPad.
[Galaxy Tab General] SDW90808:
"Which would you take with you when you go shopping, to the gym, to work or to the toilet?"

I ripped my P90X DVD's and put them on the TAB for working out at the gym. Previously, I used a portable DVD player but I never managed to keep the darn thing charged so it was a mess, what with power cords, remote, DVD's and of course the player itself.
[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
one extra point for the 7" screen is the extra hand that you have.

msg for iPad troll:

yeah, you may have an iPad, but I have an extra hand that do more stuffs than your big tablet alone

Today I saw a 8.9" netbook, and that size caught my sight on it, I think I'm gonna score some LG Optimus 3D tablet with 8.9" when it hits the market.
[Galaxy Tab General] FC1032:
I have:

Nexus one (3.7 inch): Great size for a phone, 4 inchs would be my limit for a phone, but I don't find 3.7 inchs on a phone limiting.

Galaxy tab (7inch): I LOVE this size of this thing, I can slip it into any bag I have, I have a small messenger bag and from the looks, its hard to tell a tab would fit in it (it does with plenty of space to spare!). Makes me less of a target to thieves too.

I was planning on a 10 inch tablet initially too, but after looking at my 12.1 inch laptop, it didn't seem much more portable (ok, its lighter and thinner). Then again, if a manufacturer manages to have a large screen in small physical estate (very thin bezel), that might be a good thing.

Honestly, I think the Tab hits the sweet spot in portability and usability. If they manage to make the bezel thinner and keep the same size, its pretty much the size of those small books :)

Toshiba M750 (12.1 inch): It's ok for a laptop, not too heavy, not light (at all), but as a tablet, it's pretty heavy and thick.

Only thing I like about it now is the digitizer.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
People don't explicitly "want 10" tablets", people want iPads, which just so happen to be 10" tablets, because the majority of the public probably aren't aware that there are even alternatives, because they're a bunch of sheep.

Exactly! I'm sure if the ipad was 7 inch, then the majority would be 7 inch screens

Without doubt the 7" form factor wins but having a phone & camera built in is the clincher for me.

Last month I had to travel to Edinburgh for a lecture. I needed to write up my notes so chose to travel by train.

On the train I sat amongst many using Laptops, i-Pads and phones.

It was quite comical watching them juggling between all three.

It all came to a conclusion when whilst I was sat working on the Tab the Tab's phone went off. I simply dropped into phone state, took the call which needed my to take a photo of my written notes my PA had given. I then sent these off again via the Tab and returned back to my notes.

When I looked up I had two admirers who promptly put away all their differing devices and came over to ask of the Tab.

After a 15 minute demonstration and brief tour of the Tab they returned back to their seats, only quieter with a vigor that on arrival at their destination they would go to the nearest retailer and obtain a Tab themselves.....
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
Very good point, people have been almost brainwashed (a bit harsh i know) but the ipad was there first, so people assume all tablets should be 10"

I only get about 3 or 4 phone calls a day. The fact that the Tab is also my cell phone is the greatest!! The 7" form factor fits the hand perfectly, and on a crowded subway doesn't take up someone else's space. I have seen people using an iPad on the subway and they have to elbow the other passengers to use it. Typing on it is a joke on the subway, it moves around, your fingers move around, your knees move around. Yeah right, I'm gonna get some real work done on that iPad on my commute!

As for the poll, where was it conducted? Who sponsored it?

Was the question "What size do you prefer?" or was it a multiple choice with limited options. These things can be manipulated both consciously and unconsciously.

It will be interesting when Samsung release their new 8.9" Tablet.

I think this Tablet is the perfect balance between the two... Not too small and not too big but still small enough to be held in the hand.

Also of equal interest will be the price... With Apple selling the new i-Pad2 at the same price as the original Pad this has made Samsung sit up and reevaluate the 10.1" Honeycomb which will have a knock on effect on the 8.9".

As such I'm now concentrating my efforts on this new 8.9" as opposed to the 7" or 10.1".
