[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
Getting my GF a tablet and have kinda ruled out the Ipad because we both don't like Apple and iTunes. I;m experienced with Android and thats what I want to get her. I bought the NookColor and rooted it and all that, but it's going back. It's just not a viable solution for someone not too technical and wants to just pick something up and use it. Mainly because of the lacking hard buttons and no 3g is really the deal breaker now. The gTab seems perfect because of 3g and simple to use. I thought they were all the same until I started reading and it seems as if Tmobile is a bad idea unless you want unlimited data without a contract. So let me get to the needs: minimal data on a month to month plan. I prefer to pay out front and not be under contract. So which carriers Gtab is for her? Or should I wait for something else? BTW I don't like playing the waiting game because you just end up waiting and waiting. She's perfectly fine using a device for years where as I need the latest, greatest.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikrame:
I guess any of ATT or tmobile will be good. Because if u want to resale it (after few month ) you can unlock it and sell it on nice price and also gsm is acceptable in other countries too. can be used to make calls and receive calls too(dont know about sprint and verizon cdma tabs).

I guess tmobile plans are cheaper than att.

I have tmobile but i dont have data plan because i dont need it. I bought my on local craiglist.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurocutie:
For light no contract 3G, I think AT&T is the cheapest easy option at $15/mo.

The AT&T GT also has the "option" of easy unlocking, then getting a Tmo prepaid SIM and using Tmo's DayPass for $1.50/day, EDGE only, but for very light, day by day, its a cheap alternative.

NB you cannot do that with a Tmo GT since Tmo has blocked its own GT's from using the prepaid DayPass.

Another fringe idea is Sprint's GT, hacked to run on Boost Mobile, $0.35/day for data, but far more complicated to do the hacking.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap77:
Do not get the Verizon tab under any circumstances.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
At&t will let you have the complete tab and phone experience. And it travels overseas better.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phone_Junkie:
While I have and love the AT&T Tab, I'll throw a wrench in here and say that Spacemoose is going to bat for the CDMA Tabs with HC! I'd give the edge to GSM, but not a big deal as I use mine with Wi-Fi only.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurocutie:
please amplify... why not?

- not GSM, no ROMs? no SIMs? no int'l usage?

- no 2.3.4 update unlike Sprint?

what else?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap77:
- No GB upgrade -- and knowing VZ, it will be practically never when we get it

- CDMA generally behind the GSM curve in terms of carrier upgrades

- More development on the GSM front
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neurocutie:
Sure GSM tab is getting more ROMs, but the only official GB upgrade in the US now is Sprint CDMA and that works on Verizon's tab.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
Yeah check it out man I tried looking for it ended up finding on here but this is an updated version kinda weird for Citibank not to publish their own app. I did sent them an email requesting to post it on the Android Market

Alternative you can go to

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethc3:
dont know what happened I installed serendipity 5.7 and speedmod then noticed the problem after i put a new modem to fix bluetooth i noticed later that I wasnt getting calls. I could see them come in for about 1 sec then it looked like a force close happened. i have since tried new modems now im on UGJK3 as well as switched to firebird. any help is greatly appreciated and as this is my first post i hope i placed it right thanks ahead of time
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethc3:
ok i used odin to go back to stock seems to be seredipity odd since it worked at first o well back to tweeking some more
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethc3:
just in case this happens to someone else i believe the issue comes from titanium backup restoring user data that shouldn't be there. after rereinstalling serendipity i used just the app recovery part of titanium and it works fine now oddly it sent the kernal back to speedmod rather than firebird
[Defy General] urdestny:
Currently, using Jboogie's Rom. I haven't used the new roms based on UK versions yet. Anyway, just came across CM7 RC has just released.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956196

I know its not possible to replace the kernel in Defy. Yet, is it possible that the rom itself can be ported on top of the current available ROMS? Not just the themes, but some functions as well.

I love my defy, but the locked bootlader is taking a huge toll in defy development.
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
I'd recommend you to check their forums. There are some people that are already talking about this.

But as far as I got it, until the signing key problem is not solved (there are some rumors that Motorola might release it), nobody is going to come up with an CyanogenMod for the Defy.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
an official one is not likely unless moto unlocks the bootloader. bcs the bootloader restricts moto-signed kernels and cyanogenmod makes edits to the kernels.

that being said, milestone has got cyanogenmod, they grabbed a cyanogenmod-compatible kernel from a certain brazilian rom and so...

could someone please make a reference post sticky to discourage people from asking this again and again and again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dopedangel:
I know people from samsung do read xda so this is my request to them.

Can you please release a high end device with unmodified Android most manufacturers are so into making their own UI's that no one is using actual andorid.

You already have the best hardware and can differentiate from others by highlighting it their is no need for you to make a UI to differentiate your device. Just give us a pure Android device with OS that works like Google intended I know some will say we have nexus S but with it not having the same screen for different regions plus it was already not the best device when it was released Hardware wise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
Why? I imagine that a lot of people that buy their devices - you know, the non-technical types that don't frequent places such as XDA - actually quite like TouchWiz. Simple to use and with a few more features than stock, sprinkled with eye candy.

The hard core always have the option of replacing it. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I have a Nexus S and i'm not pleased

I actually like the I9000 experience better,

the pure Google phone does not have hardware support for multimedia files like MKV, DivX, AVI, HD movies, flac, aac, etc...

it's kinda useless to have the state of the art phone, and being unable to play a video file on demand

yes, you can use software decoder, but the quality and lag is horrible
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logseman:
It wasn't the best hardware on release anyways. Have you checked the specs of both phones? Nexus S lacks some things aside of the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
The hardware is the same in both phones. I agree that the touchwizz video player is a nice addition however. Does it uses the GPU for decoding? Maybe, but I don't think so. I think it's software.

In all cases, the same technique could be used on the Nexus S to decode video.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
it uses hardware to decode. and the nexus can be made to as well (it decodes basic stuff in hardware most likely)

just install rockplayer otherwise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
already using it, it's horrible compared to native support from hardware

i have much more fun and Higher quality playing the same video on the SGS than the SNS, even when using rockplayer

since rockplayer lets you choose hardware decode or software decode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erkv:
I like my sgs a lot, but I have to say that I'm really disappointed. I don't mind having touchwiz or anything similar as long as I can flash any rom. But we need developers for that. What I want is to have a good phone out of the box. Still, gps, lag, battery ...completly wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] avatar_43:
Well touchwiz must be appealing to the general public... I mean 10 million sold with a 2nd one the way with touchwiz v4, Personally I love what Samsung did software side. Sure the FS blows but isn't too bad
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ivegottheskill:
I've tried just about every other launcher (Gingerbread, Zeam, LauncherPro, ADW), but I still prefer TouchWiz, albiet gtg465x's modded version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] herbert1:
Samsung could release 1 device and two roms (a custom one, an aosp one), so everybody could be happy.

At least they could provide a git repository, so people could compile it.

On my computer I can install the os I want (except MacOS - :rolleyes: ) and many flavour of linux. I can even obtain updates... :eek:

We should really be able to do the same with smartphones and tablets...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testrunner:
I have two young girls ages 6 month and almost 3 years who love to play with my EVO. There are great games to keep them occupied (mostly my older daughter).

The problem is she keeps accidentially pressing the capacitive buttons and messes up the game or learning app.

I know that Calkulin disabled the search button on his rom so I know at least that button can be disabled. Does anyone know if the others could be temporary disabled? Since its nearly impossible to accidentally press the volume button I was thinking maybe that could be a way to turn this feature on and off once the capacitive killer was running.

I bet a lot of parents would love this app.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asadsalm:
Same!

Dear All,

I have the exact same requirement. If someone can do this, or point us to the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated by all Android owners who are parents.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
Its not an app but if you really need to disable these buttons (Semi-permanently) then go into the rom.zip and edit "/system/usr/keylayout/supersonic-keypad.kl" in Notepad or Textedit. Comment out (put a # before) key 217, key 158, key 139, and key 102. I can make a flashable zip to do this, however I have no experience in android programming so I couldn't make an app. Send me a PM if you want a flashable zip for it. I'll make both a do and undo zip.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
So on average how much display time do you get per charge? I average 3.5 to 4.5 hours. I'm just trying to determine if this is normal.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtuososteve:
That obviously depends on how much anyone uses their phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XiaoSiuMai:
also depends whether you are just leaving it on and doing nothing. also if your wallpaper is super bright or live wall paper. many many factors
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Obviously you're using it if the screen is on. Way to answer the question.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] man_alone:
Wow, 6.35 radio Gingerbread ROM with working Cam actually happened. I thought that's impossible thing to do. Thanks OP for all hard work you put in this. Will test in next couple of days and report back. HTC Magic is still alive and kicking almost 2 years after being release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
Nice work carz !!!

You need to put a donate link.

I think you're the last dev dedicated to the 32a 6.35.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I do have one, not sure it works, haha
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
If you post it, I will add it to my threads. I updated GB Cronos with your latest kernel. Hopefully I will have bug free USB.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
carz, are you missing AudioPara4.csv?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
not that I know of, it flashes when detecting 6.35 radio
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
its in system/etc/.audio it unzips as needed when installing the rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
I just noticed it gets extracted during execution of the any kernel script from ezterry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I could have got rid of all that but its much easier to repo sync this way
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] albert emmer:
great effort carz! 2 thumbs up for you. hehe...

anyway, does voice search worked with this rom?

one more thing, does button backlight glows in this rom? i mean, when we click/screen on because in Giant's cronos version doesnt worked (correct me if im wrong, sorry Giant im not to blame you, but i love to have it glows, if possible hee....)

anyway great job to both carz and giantrider...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
I'm trying to see if I can pull some of your stuff out and flash over GB Cronos latest build.

Not sure why. At this point I should sleep. If it works I will end up with a faster GB Cronos, working USB (thx to you), but Youtube and Gmail will not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Sure they do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Just tested voice search. it worked fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
No offense taken Albert....carz is actually compiling himself....I'm not :p

But thanks for the comment, I did not even notice the back light issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
carz....maybe I should pack it in and we focus on one solid 32a 6.35 rom.....yours is currently the least buggy I think....if people confirm that then it only makes sense....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Hey I'm game, when you need something let me know. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Anyone flash it yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
LOL, I meant I should retire my ports and focus on your build not the other way around :D

I guess we'll see what makes sense....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhitey:
hi

I was interested in that too, I've got some dents and scratches on mine but

I don't think thats a job for the faint hearted.

I watched a youtube disassemble job and it looked to me like the silver bezel is bonded to the screen, that and the fact it scared the hell out of me how much it took to take the phone apart made me give up on that idea. :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerome38:
UP!

Anyone ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedwonder:
It's called a bezel. Think I remember seeing a thread in the accessories section.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmotif:
replacing the front bezel involves removing a backing plate behind the screen, which most likely is glued to the screen/digitizer assembly.

Its much harder to remove than what you see in the below video.

[YOUTUBE]qI1R7dlUyvA[/YOUTUBE]

Chances are you will break the screen or the glass. I had a spoilt home button and accidentally cracked the screen while trying to remove the screen to access the button assembly :crying:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
I would avoid doing this I thought I could and ruined my phone there's they fragile Aileen mesh like strips under there ended up costing me £80 for a new screen unit!
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
basically the screen wont wake up after putting the phone to sleep. i can feel the vibrations on the phone (so touchscreen is still registering touch, just not displaying anything)

i had dropped it in the snow about a month ago, although none of the water stickers have been tripped, it started doing this as soon as i took it out of the container of rice the next day.

any help would be appreciated, i cant really understand why the screen would work until i put it to sleep.

i'm so tired of my HD2 running CM7, phone is just too big. ha.
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
No ideas? I've tried to flash a different ROM thinking it might have been a software issue, but that did nothing. The screen will only work on the first boot.regardless of the ROM
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
Try a different sd card or even remove the existing sd card and see what happen.
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
just tried booting w/o the sd card, with a spare sd card, and a blank brand new one. no change between any of them

:(

thanks for the suggestion though! i'm still trying everything i can think of to try and get this figured out.

edit - also once the screen goes to sleep, its not just a simple reboot to get the screen to work again. i need to pull the battery and let it sit for at least 15-20 seconds. otherwise it will still just be a black screen.
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
Send it in to HTC for repair.
[Nexus One General] CrispiVizz:
Assuming you have CM 7 on your Nexus One; have you tried the trackball wake option? Also, you could try plugging in your phone to charge and see if the screen wakes up. (just process of elimination)
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
awesome idea, i just tried it but unfortunately its the same issue.

the hardware sleep button clearly works, and the screen is working too. this issue seriously makes no sense to me. i'm about to get fed up and mail it in to HTC.
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
so i had sent my phone to HTC to be repaired. they quoted me anywhere from 60-200 bucks. they recieved the phone today, and shipped it back out within 2 hours.

they did not contact me asking for my payment information or if i approve the repairs.

is it possible that they mailed it back to me because i was rooted?
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Or possible that they pressed the power button and the screen came on :-)
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Keep us updated. It seems strange that they've turned it around so quickly!
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
wow i cannot believe this

they sent me a brand new phone, no charge. i was out of the 1yr warranty too.

i was seriously prepared to spend 200 bucks, but they did it for free. SO HAPPY

awesome customer service HTC, this is why i have only owned HTC's for the last 3 years.
[Nexus One General] suhailtheboss:
so just to clarify how awesome HTC is:

my phone was rooted with CM7

out of warranty

dropped in snow

and they replaced it for free.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
I've got a set of widgets I've added to my desktop to help save battery mojo. Curvefish makes a set of free widgets that are simple and perfect in size; toggles for wifi, bluetooth, and gps that are the size of a regular icon. I've got a set across the bottom of my homescreen, along with a matching ringer on/vibrate/off widget. I don't get a signal in the basement where I'm working right now, so I turn off all the services and it doesn't waste juice running those radios. When I leave, I turn them back on with a few flips.
