iPad 2

I agree the only thing I like about the iPad 2 is the cover, which if I am honest really is brilliant in its simplicity, utility, and awesomeness. Other than that...

Still, I am not sure which device best fits my needs (I just know I want to support small innovators) My problem is that I am a grad student who is trying to go paperless. I try and read my articles, grade my papers and read my news on a monitor, and it might be nice to have something that I could hold rather than put on my lap.

Also pretty sure that 7 inches is just too small (maybe 10 is too big) who knows...I wish there were more brick and mortar stores where I could try them out.
[Adam General] --Mac--:
The Xoom is available to try out at best buy. So you could at least get an idea of what 10inch's is like as well as Honeycomb vs. the Apple OS.

The LG Optimus Pad and supposedly a new Galaxy Tab are coming out with 8.9inch screens.

If you are focusing on the Adam for its Pixel Qi screen for reading I would research more reviews on how it does indoors vs. outdoors. I opted to order the LCD version only since I don't plan on using it as an e-reader or for outdoor purposes. I mainly want it to replace my personal laptop that i lug around whenever I travel just to check email/surf the web/ and watch movies.
[Adam General] kgbrown247:
I ordered mine feb 5 and received it yesterday if it helps any. :)
[Adam General] litening:
I consider that good news for 9th orders. Means that the promised 3rd March shipping date is still realistic.

Edit: Actually, bad news. Means I'll have to start checking the pre-order site multiple times a day now out of sheer compulsive curiousity.
[Adam General] --Mac--:
My Feb 9th order has shipped
[Adam General] waltah!:
I realize that Notion is a small company, but how can they think they will stay in business when people can't figure out how to order or have to wait a ton?

I like the idea of the Adam, but not the idea of waiting to pre-order then waiting a month or more for my unit.

So is it worth the wait?
[Adam General] --Mac--:
Depends on what your needs/wants are in a tablet.

I came to the decision of handing my money over to Notion Ink instead of any other company for the following reasons:

- 2 x Full USB 2.0 Ports

- Tegra 2

- 6 Physical Buttons (4 on the face, Back button and Power button on the side)

- Full HDMI Out

- Ergonomical Design

- Promise of Honeycomb

- $425 price tag
[Adam General] balticzar:
I too am wondering if this tablet is worth the wait. I ordered mine Feb 14 and I am tired of waiting. My original estimated ship date was now pushed back to 3/3-3/10. This is insane. I have no idea how these guys intend to run a successful company doing business like this. This is absolutely unacceptable. If this estimated ship date is pushed back one more time I am going to cancel my order. And if they give me any sh*t going that route I'll simply refute the charges and let my AMEX deal with this B.S.

Of course, I hope I don't have to go that route and I hope I will receive an email shortly telling me my Adam has shipped. I really want this device but refuse to wait around like a scorned lover begging for attention. I'm paying good money. It's not like I won this thing in a contest and am waiting on them to ship one once they have extras. This is INSANE!!!
[Adam General] --Mac--:
I bought the Adam because of the reasons I posted above. No other company is putting a tablet out that offers the same functionality.

With that said....

There is a BIG reason why they are calling this a "PRE-ORDER". They are a small company, they did not have the money and means to start mass producing these. But from what we read from Rohan they are growing quickly and starting to strategically plan for a larger roll out that also includes better support.

Adam is their first product, they are dedicating resources towards designing the next one. This kind of innovation is a beautiful thing. I don't understand how people "expect" this ordering experience to be similar to that of purchasing an Apple or Motorola product.
[Adam General] efotonik:
What are the price-points of the various options?

My friend and I both just recently signed up for pre-orders but who knows when the next batch will roll out....just trying to plan ahead!

Thanks.
[Adam General] waltah!:
Of course I wouldn't expect it to be like buying an Apple or Moto product. The surprising part is their website is a little too filled with mystery. The tech audience in general is not a patient bunch and signing up for unknown pre order dates and long waits wont fly with everyone. For their own sake I hope they can step up production a bit. I do believe their pricing is very good from what I could find but having to google them vs being front and center on their site is kinda lame.
[Adam General] neotekz:
anyone know when is this tablet going to be release so i can order it and not have to wait for an unknown delivery date? kinda messed up how they are doing this with the preorders. i cant find a release date anywhere...
[Adam General] smallba:
Thank you I been looking all over for this
[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
along with setup please.

Figured we might as well record benchmark progress as kernels and ROMs get faster. I'll start off.

Linpack -- 56.264 high, 52-55 consistent

Quadrant -- 2090 high, 2000-2050 consistent

Setup:

bcnice's 1.5 OC kernel

NFX's stock deodexed ROM

SetCPU 245/1516 interactive

Dread's GB theme modified

Thanks to all the devs working on this phone. Can't wait to see what else this thing is capable of.
[EVO Shift 4G General] 17ninjaz:
my scores

Running:

Bcnices 1.8 Gingerbread AOSP kernel

Evervolv Alpha Update 3

Deodexed

Quadrant:

Highest: 2968 :p, 26-2800 consistently

Linpack:

Highest: 60.XXX, 55-58 consistently
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
Its also important to note which quadrant version you are using as well. Scores vary widely between the paid and free versions.
[EVO Shift 4G General] 17ninjaz:
This is very true. The test that scored 2968 was run using Quadrant Advanced 1.1.1 Rev 1352

New screenshot is the same system as above but run on the newest version of Quadrant Standard (1.1.7) available. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] zeropants:
I get about 2000 on Quadrant at 1.8GHz. How is there such a big difference?

He's on an aosp rom with no sense framework
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
this was on regular quadrant OC'd to 1.8 on stock sense ROM and rooted ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] pfer10:
Is this any good?
[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
If you have Advanced you can go into the Custom run and disable volumetric shadowing for the hallway. Scores will jump by 300-400. How the hell did you get over 4000?
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
A TV news report about the iPad 2 announcement, with nothing but XOOM footage! Epic. Fail.

Ha ha, that's class!! :D
[Xoom General] jnrandall:
That's funny! Thanks for posting.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
It wouldn't have been so bad if he would have at least MENTIONED the XOOM!

The best part is when they focus out from the shot that clearly shows "MOTOROLA".

Priceless!
[Xoom General] joshua.lyon:
I didn't know the iPad 2 was running Honeycomb. Quite impressive. I might have to get one of those. :p

[EVO 4G General] dianneeraser:
They'll call it the EVO ECHO and it'll have two screens!
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Lol and the hip hop magician will perform an act before the announcement lol

I hate that commercial!

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
introducing keyocera 2. The first phone with 3 SCREENS!!!!

two multi touch screens with a slide out keyboard. We didn't want to make it overpriced, since its 3 screens so we took out the 4g, dual core, hdmi, and any other awesome features to include these crappy screens in one single phone.
[EVO 4G General] tbgreen89:
Better be something good. I'm tired of all these other carriers getting awesome phones.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
If they announce another fail device...I'm going to shoot myself in the face with a beanbag round.

http://vimeo.com/18079655

I wouldn't mind if it was this...
[EVO 4G General] CruzECO13:
I sure hope it's an HTC Evo successor. I wouldnt mind to hear the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 coming to Sprint as well. Dump the Echo, Playbook, Touch 7 and any future non Android related crap. :)
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
sprint would never have anything cool like that.

+ even if it was an exact clone as that. without dual core, its a step back. Every device from this point on will have dual cores, anything else is outdated.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
It will probably be the Kyocera Echo 2! Another Sprint First: First phone to replace a phone which was obsolete even before it was ever released! As a gift, they will throw in a deck of cards signed by David Blaine.
[EVO 4G General] jagox5:
EVO 2

Cant wait for ctia!

OK lets see.. could it be the:

Galaxy S2?

Lg 3d?

A Motorola dual core phone?

Evo 2?
[EVO 4G General] iceman99393:
Blackberry slider..,....lol
[EVO 4G General] shift_2win:
I think it will be something dual core. CTIA is usually when the announce the big stuff
[EVO 4G General] duckman2569:
Evo2 with holographic imaging and r2d2 AI.

But for real, dual core eve would be really nic
[EVO 4G General] dezel29:
awesome...get it on video :)
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Yes, make sure you stream it using your EVO. YouTube it as well
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Down with this.
[EVO 4G General] notown775:
Ill try to explain this as best i can.

Evo came out July.. right?

last year..

4.3 screen

dual cameras

4g (some people got it)

kickstand (some may not like this)

Now all these others carriers are getting

4+ inch screen

dual cameras

4g (lte and hspa+)

and kickstands

i know they have better processors and all that good stuff.. but this means when we get the better of what they have now, are we gonna complain when the other carriers catch up?
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
EVO was just a fluke.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
I probably agree with this, but I'll probably keep the Evo for at least another year, so as long as something is out by then, I'm good.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I'm sooo over these announcements from Sprint. They're as depressing and underwhelming as Apple announcements. The only difference is that Apple can sugar-coat it enough to make most believe that the iPad 2 is a worthy investment. Sprint looked retarded trying to hype up the Echo.
[EVO 4G General] lehalter:
I read all the time that the the Evo was a mistake or they stumbled into it...I really don't believe so. It isn't like the Evo is the only "good" phone they have. To the general public, the Epic(I think) is another 4g phone that women seem to love. I have faith(for now) that Sprint will do something because they know they are falling behind on network and phone design. They know they need something big, otherwise their cheaper contracts won't do them much good.
[EVO 4G General] shift_2win:
lol I agree, Apple's marketing team is amazing. They make the most boring smartphone look like its the best thing since the microwave.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Keep in mind pretty much every carrier got the galaxy S line. The only reason Sprint somewhat won with the epic was because at that they they were the only one with 4G.. and on carrier is putting a FFC on a phone without it. Now, that ship has pretty much sailed.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
idk if im the only one who noticed this but the HTC evo4 was annouced on march 22nd 2010. So maybe for its 1 year anniversarythe EVO 2 is gonna be announced???
[EVO 4G General] thekingofmean:
Samsung announcement March 22nd

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/samsungs-latest-8-9-inch-galaxy-tab-teaser-hints-impressive-sli/

Korean WiMAX Samsung Tab

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/samsung-galaxy-tab-goes-wibro-yo/

My guess it that Sprint gets the 8.9 TAB with WiMAX to compete with XOOM and iPAD2. I doubt there will be anything about EVO2, probably not until next year. If there's anything about the EVO this year I would bet that it's only this.

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
We already know what it will be.

An EVO tablet , EVO3D and the Nexus S 4G.
[Xoom Accessories] BlazinGTI:
Basically what I said in the title.

The iPad2 cover is an elegant solution and I'd like something similar for my Xoom.

Is this feasible?
[Xoom Accessories] diaa08:
i would, off the bat, say no. we have no way to attach the hinge... i might be wrong but it probably works like the hinge on the kindle, which has some problems.

i like the idea of the cover, but just so you know this is not a case and seems to provide no protection for the sides/back, much less any kind of drop protection or anything. it also might be unstable at the oblique angle since its only a folded triangle holding the whole thing up (probably props it up for viewing videos ok, but not for active use like browsing.

we deffinintely need better cases for xoom, but i suspect this cover is more of the apple looks good aesthetically works poorly deal like their keyboards and mice. i could be wrong though, ill just have to wait to try it myself.
[Xoom Accessories] joshua.lyon:
The Apple solution works using magnets... so you'd need the appropriate physical modifications to the Xoom first. Basically, no, it won't work since the Xoom doesn't have the pre-requisite revolutionary and magical material the iPad 2 does. :p
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
The Vibrant looks to have been completely removed from TMobile's website. What the hell?
[Vibrant General] gzowner:
IT is gone, but the stores are still selling it. It just got replace by the 4g that is coming out, nothing new. It is still a good phone and wont trade it in for less. I dont live in a 4g area so whats the point of having a 4g phone.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
I'm just worried that I won't be able to get the Vibrant for a warranty replacement or insurance claim. I don't want the 4g.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
you'll either get a refurb (business as usual), which i'm sure they have plenty of or an option for a new phone (like maybe the sgs4g). i wouldn't worry about it, either way.
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
I read somewhere that a guy was given a 4G in exchange for his broken Vibrant. It's not like they will tell you that you're SOL. If you're under warranty they'll give you a refurb or something comparable.
[Vibrant General] rayz8701:
i just messed up my phone big time... this sucks so bad... i flashed this rom and it wiped my whole internal sd and my external and i cant use my usb to flash back to stock because none my computers can reconigize my phone... AND it wont let me download any apps cuz it says the internal one is too full... WTF!!! I Knew in my heart i should of never flashed tha rom =(
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
What rom was it?

Rockin that Bionix V 1.2.1 w/ Androdena V5.1
[Vibrant General] gzowner:
Wrong thread to report ur flashing problems. There is a lot of how to get it back. I had the same issue when i updated my rom to the tmobile rom and not knowing how to get back to root. ODIN is your friend. Search it.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
that could be good or bad. I need to go to the stop and ***** about the GPS on both my Vibrants since after dealing with the executive response team and getting them replaced once before they said next time I'll have to go to a store to prove I have a GPS problem. So one of these days I better flash back to stock and go show them before they don't have any refurbs or new ones to give me. I don't want to 4G either. I get just as fast downloads here as the people I know with the Mytouch 4G and the G2.
[Vibrant General] android.vibrant:
That's good news to me, my Vibrant's GPS is terrible.

I heard some good comment of the 4G's GPS.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
They get rid of the vibrant but keep Samsung Behold II how smart is that :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] CrazyCharlie:
This is the second thread I've seen this exact same post in and I'll say the same thing I said last time. Read the noob guide and learn to use ODIN.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
Just noticed that I have a scratch (?) across half my screen. Problem is, it doesn't look like a surface scratch. It looks like a smudge that just won't come out.

Has anyone this before?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayburne:
Where did you get the phone from?

I got two Captivates from Wirefly and one of them had what looked like a scratch or hair underneath the screen. You could really see it when you had a full white page up (like the ATT bootscreen). The second two they sent had dead pixels out of box.

Fourth one was the charm and currently has no issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
ATT - it's under warranty but it's really odd.

It's looks like a smudge as opposed to a scratch. I can only see it when the screen is off and I'm looking on an angle. But you know how these work, once you notice it...

Another thing is right where the time is on the notification bar, it's like I have a permanent oil smudge there... No matter how many times i clean it, it always comes back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpuck73:
I have one on mine by the bottom of the screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
It's so hard to notice but once I noticed it, I can't look away...

I can't even see it under a strong light glare but only when the screen is off yet it's driving me crazy!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
Tried to see if it was a deep smudge (used a pretty good micro-fiber cloth) and it's not.

It's barely noticeable but the issue is whenever I use the phone, smudge just builds up all around this thing and it becomes very annoying. Not even sure how it happened as I'm always very careful with the phone. Never put anything in the pocket with my phone. Case when I'm going out... No drops.

Anyway, ATT suggested me sending my phone a couple weeks back for warranty (due to GPS not wanting to work and other issues). I just don't feel like dealing with getting a 2.2 phone with a borked recovery/download mode...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
All I want to do is modify the framework to give me the percent battery and also change the notifications. Can I use the framework on the stock Rom to change that since I'm rooted or do I have to have a different Rom that's modified?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
Try the question and answer section please!

Yes you can, just do a backup before you attempt the changes and backup the original Framework-res.apk somewhere.

By back up some may wanna say nandroid or nand but we are NOT running Amon Ra anymore so lets drop the Nand..... Its kind of a slap in the face to the folks at Clockwork. And who let us root???????

THANKS CWM TEAM!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
Sorry normally would have put it in there but figured it would be better in the development forum...mods feel free to move since it would be better in there
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I honestly think a sticky at the top of each forum for questions would make things easier for everyone to find and help the lazy. But the one in the development section was closed and they refereed everyone to Q and A. I wasnt trying to be rude. ;) And I dont mind helping, its just hard to find apps and themes amongst all the questions.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
Ya I usually don't post easy questions like this but I tried to find somewhere that talked about the stock Rom and framework but didn't find much. Love the Rom since it was the same Rom I used on my G2 but it was Evils custom rom. Hard to go back to stock when your used to modifying your own images lol
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Mrdaviso:
I hear that, its no fun if its not custom.

Did you see my thread on changing the android on the usb connect screen? Its also done through the framework. I would post link but I'm mobile. :/
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
Nope haven't looked into it right now, since I just switched from the G2 I was going to read up on everything before but it seems like most of the G2 stuff is almost the same as the myTouch 4G so I'll be able to just go to town lol. If I do anything new I'll definitely add it to the pot once I get something good
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] darinmc:

You can't actually change the notifications pane with that, but there are notification icons and the percentage battery changes there. I just use the silver circle one and left the rest stock, nice b&w feel to it.

More complex changes require a deodexed ROM like IG, CM6/7, eViL's MIUI, etc.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
Is there a stock rom that's been deodexed? That's all I'm looking for right now but I'm not finding anything
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] halfcalf:
Im told that Iced Glacier is pretty much a faster version of the stock rom. (I havent tried it myself)

However if you are just trying to change the Icons in the status bar you dont need to be deodexed to use the mods in the link previously mentioned. Im running stock rom with one of those mods myself currently
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] collins521:
Ya I was able to change the notification icons, signal, battery...only thing I couldn't do without having FC issues was change the battery into a percent. Even with those mods on the link I was getting FC issues

Hey guys, love the new roms as i constantly download them daily. However coming across some sites that is limited the downloads to 200k or less and im fios. So digging around, found a site that has no throttle and unlimited file support. IF possible please use this site to mirror your files. Ushareit.org. Not affiliated with them, but just thought i would pass it alone to others that need a place to store files and cant access other sites due to country restrictions.
