[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrlswltrs:
I had the MT4G for a couple weeks before the Nexus S was released. I have a rooted, overclocked, Nexus S; my wife has a completely stock Nexus S; and my daughter has a MT4G. Both of them count on me to pretty much do all updates, install apps, etc on their phones so I use all 3 a lot.

My phone is the best of all 3. My wife's is the next best. The MT4G has much more lag than the Nexus S due to Sense even though it has more RAM it still isn't enough. The only advantage the MT4G has is during tethering the 4G data speeds are nice, but I rarely tether so it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Here are my opinions on which phone is better in different areas:

1. Hardware quality: Nexus S

2. Speed/lag: Nexus S

3. Data speed: MT4G, but only cell data and not by much

4. Call quality: equal

5. Battery: equal

6. Look and feel of OS: Nexus S

7. WiFi calling: right now only on MT4G

8. Camera: equal

Other features a plus for Nexus: Google updates, no HTC screwing things up. No Sense slowing the phone down. Better screen.

MT4G advantages: Hard buttons vs capacitive (personal preference). LED notification light. 4G.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerdude:
I am in a similar situation as well, GF has the mytouch4g and I have the SNS. Like brokenwall said, the MT4G gets real slow under heavy use. Battery for me is significantly longer although i dont have setcpu installed, the phone itself has nice power management. Weight of phone is really a personal decison, coming from a HD2, I prefer metal battery covers and the slightly heavier weight of the MT4G but thats just me. One of the big ups about the nexus is it coming already unlocked, of course you can always unlock the MT4G but the SNS has a higher resell value if you ever change your mind

Overall i would recommend the SNS but both phone are nice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
can you guys stop calling the Nexus S a SNS.. it is NS

Nexus One wasnt called GN1/GNO or HN1/HNO.. it was called N1
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xandermpls:
Nexus s great phone.

Mt4g if you root. And put cm7 or iced glaciar its insane.
[EVO Shift 4G General] eigerzoom:
does your wifi take forever to engage

i find it takes a bit for mine to come on after engaging

just think its a little strange and was wondering if anyone else experiences this
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
It takes a few seconds as it does with Bluetooth and 4G. My moment did the same thing so its normal. It takes a few seconds for a laptop to connect to WiFi too

sent from my EVO Shift 4G :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] eigerzoom:
just seems to take longer on the shift than any other phone i've had

sometimes short meaning 10 seconds

mostly its like 20-30 seconds

wasn't sure if this was programming taking effect or an actual glitch

like a motor that squirts its oil jets to lubricate before starting

edit:

i think this might be a mental glitch on my part to some extent

on the epic the wifi icon comes up immediately but then it searches & authenticates with known access points

where as on the shift all that happens before the icon shows up and there is no visual notification of authentication beyond 'on & connected'
[EVO Shift 4G General] eigerzoom:
i timed it and it takes 40 seconds for my wifi to connect with saved credentials and show the icon in the bar...

anyone else?

thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] eigerzoom:
edit: still an issue
[EVO Shift 4G General] grandebob:
I don't turn my wifi (or bluetooth) off. On the stock ROM i got 18-24 hours on the battery so I found no need to micro manage the power settings.
[EVO Shift 4G General] StAlphonso:
I havent had any issues with this...it has been significantly faster than my old hero....id say within 10 seconds max from the time i click the htc wifi toggle widget to the time im connected and ready to go
[EVO Shift 4G General] eigerzoom:
its not a huge issue obviously...i too have looked at my phone only to realize i left 3g on or wifi/bluetooth and it doesn't hit too hard on the battery even after hours...

i just wanted to document and see if others had the same issue

that is all

it just takes 40 seconds for my wifi to come on and be connected

i thought it was worth noting on the forums

and i hope others can either confirm or deny the length of time it takes to connect

so i can determine if its simply my phone or everyones

i've never had a device take this long to connect

thats all i'm saying

not a big deal...just curious if its only my damn phone

thanks STAlphonso...just saw your post

and i guess that sucks for me...but glad to hear its not every phone

i noticed it connects very quickly (normal speed) everytime i install a rom...then from the 2nd time on its slow...

no clue whats causing this

Hi,

I searched the forum but didn't find anything... Do you know if there is some eDonkey client available for WinMo?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
So natious was kind enough to give us at Honeycomb theme for our tabs. I am not a fan of gradient status bars so I made one with a flat black bar. All credits go to natious originally for the whole theme. I will be adding more tweaks that I like and will update the thread as well for those that are interested.

INSTALL:

- download and unzip the attached zip file

- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

- make a backup of that file as it is your working original

- adb push /path/to/this/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

- adb reboot

*NOTE I did this in recovery, specifically CWM. Sory for no flashable zip file yet (I dont know how to make one)

ChangeLog:

v0.1 - Mar 5 2011

- initial upload of framework-res.apk

- only status bar is changed
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
Good job, funny tho, my next update was going to remove the gradients on everything, only problem tho it made it look like the status bar was connected to the drop down quick panel :(.

To make a flashable zip, just replace your apk inside the framework folder of my flash-able .zip

What clock are you using? Looks sweet :D

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jayavinash:
Its called pixel art clock search in market,its free.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daatjie:
I am a bit new too this stuff. Can you tell me where do I find the framework-res.apk on my device and how do I then add the new honeycomb theme apk file.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
The framework-res file is in /system/framework . If you do my install steps from my first post then what ever directory your on on your computer is where adb will put the pulled defualt system one. Then rename it or move it to a safe place and put my new one in the same directory and push it back to the device.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeroburn:
A question before I do anything crazy, can this be done from the recovery mode without having CWM installed?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
No, if you are rooted you can use root explorer to replace the apk, but cwm is always the best way

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeroburn:
Thanks for the prompt response, I guess root explorer is a risk on a file thats in constant use?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Nope. You might get one force close, but thats it.

| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeroburn:
It went wrong, before I could set the permissions my Tab locked up and I had to use recovery mode, adb and rageagainstthecage to copy the original back into place - oddly enough I then tried to add the file from above using this method, set the permissions and ownership and my Tab refused to boot with it getting stuck in a loop while showing the Samsung logo.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Rom? Did you clear Dalvik cache?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
What rom are you on. This frame work is based on my old one and its only for 1.4.x overcome

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zeroburn:
Ah my mistake, was pretty much the stock 2.3.3 that's been going around on here so I think the problem was of my own making.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mydaddyisafarmer:
Hi!

My tab is running on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1

I replaced the framework-res.apk with the one from you.

After the reboot my tab only shows the "Galaxy Tab SAMSUNG" screen who is blinking.

Can you tell me whats wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
Your tab is in a boot loop because you didn't read any of the replies, youbwill need to flash the correct framework back on

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] k0sh:
for sure will do ...

go re-flash the rom again :) or just restore if you got backup
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
I'm waiting for GOLD to make this mod again for OC.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
You don't need to reflash an entire rom or restore a backup, pull tbw framework from the original rom and just replace the one that's in this zip

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mydaddyisafarmer:
Thanks!

I flashed the rom again and now it still works.

That means that I can't use this status bar with my rom, right?

Is there any custom status bar who works with Overcome 2.0.0
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrialxue:
I'm about to get an atrix 4g and I was wondering if there was an adapter which would allow an hdmi cable to hook into a DVI input? I wanted to use a spare monitor as a webtop display but it doesnt have any HDMI input. Would this adapter still allow the webtop to work? And does anyone know a good, cheap one?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjael:
HDMI and DVI use the same video signal, so you can use one of the cheap DVI(male)>HDMI(female) adapters that come with graphics cards and things.

You won't get any audio, though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabrialxue:
I have some pretty nice speakers, will audio still work through the 3.5 audio Jack on the phone?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandalf_grey91:
I use a Startech HDMI (Female) to DVI-D (Male) 24-pin adapter and it works very well with PC monitors.

"Oh hey an NFC card I can swipe! Let me open up my backpack and take out my Xoom"

.... NFC is really made for phones. Seems horribly inconvenient to pull out a 10" tablet to swipe an NFC tag.
[Xoom General] punchy915:
You all are missing the point...

Every post here criticizing "Souviets" post are missing the point. You all are automatically thinking that NFC is only for payment systems. The NFC option can be used for several things. I'm currently working on a project that uses NFC as a means to recognize spaces in a building. Open your view... it's not a dumb question.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
The Xoom is already expensive enough having problem competing with entry level ipad2. Surely it does not need more near unnecessary gedget to drive the price up.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
you want NFC on your plasma tv too? weird...

the whole point of NFC is to implement it on stuff you already use on the go (phones)
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Not mobile enough + unwieldy to hold in awkward positions = bad for NFC tagging (in my opinion).

Obviously some may disagree with quite specific NFC uses, but I think it's about right for all but the most esoteric. One specialized use, which I would have appreciated would have been to use NFC to make a pseudo-smart cover for the XOOM. Until NFC is added to HC tablets, though, we still have Killswitch! (Yes, I just self-linked my own XDA Homepage article...)
[Xoom General] sportedwood:
I agree thats its weird its not there. Its about more than just "checking out" with.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Still more surprised there's no haptic feedback than NFC

Although I haven't missed it much when typing :)
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I think the smaller tablets will have it first.

Sent from my Motorola Olympus
[Xoom General] dro1dfan:
:)

nfc is not just for making payments - it is a low power way to exchange any information. The xoom is of course portable - i carry it with me everywhere

Perhaps it could be used to swipe over a point and get a train timetable - would be much better than a phone for this i think

Screen protector video of Skinomi. Bought off from Amazon for $18.95 free S/H. highly recommend one. why risk damaging your beautiful 10.1'' screen??

[Xoom Accessories] luckie19:
Why not just go to the skinomi website use the "get25" that gives you 25% off and free shipping?? Got mine screen protector only for 11.25.

What I want to know is what kind of stand is that?? Looks like a generic picture frame stand.
[Xoom Accessories] Spawn026:
Good application. You got some cahunas turning it on so soon though. The glass isn't as flush as the iPad so the risk of water getting in is real. I'm anal about my gadgets so I let all devices sit for 18 hrs face down on a lint free rag to ensure zero damage. Best to do before bed that way you aren't antsy
[Xoom Accessories] broadwayblue:
So what are the pros/cons of the Skinomi. Looks like the application went smoothly for you...either you've done that a few times before or you're just naturally gifted. lol
[Xoom Accessories] inspiron41:

first try. i did it on my nexus s before lol

[Xoom Accessories] polo2883:
Trying to debate which screen protector to get. I don't know if I want another Zagg or try skinomi or Steinhil.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
Does the Skinomi reduce the glare?
[Xoom Accessories] PaulG1488:
I bought the silver carbon fiber one from their site I can't wait to put it on
[Xoom Accessories] Procinctu:
I put the Skinomi on today. It is not an exact fit border to border, minor gap. It does reduce glare in my opinion. It is still a gloss finish, but not as reflective as the mirror finish glass.

I have used Zagg in the past. It seems the same to me in both look and install. I am happy with the clarity as well, which was my main concern.

Fingerprints don't seem to be nearly an issue any more. Money well spent for me.
[Xoom Accessories] broadwayblue:
If you had to guess, how much of a gap are we talking about? like 1MM on each side or more than that?

One other question...does the skin float on the glass so that you can slide it into position for a few seconds before the adhesive starts to bond? In the video it looks like it was applied in 1 motion which requires a bit more skill imo.
[Xoom Accessories] Crispityyy:
From what Ive seen in videos, and read from ppl it definately depends on how much of the spray you want to apply.

If you are installing it and want to pull it up, then just dont scrape out all the solution till the end. Then when you pull it up, all you have to so is spray the screen protector some more, and try again. So, it seems that the liquid solution is the buffer between the screen and the protector
[Xoom Accessories] Procinctu:
The gap on the sides of the glass if centered is about 1.5mm, or the thickness of a penny.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
I ordered the black carbon+screen protector set yesterday. I read on amazon that people were complaining about the "bad" fit as well. When I look at other screen protectors they have a slight gap as well... We'll see! I'm excited!
[Xoom Accessories] Salpula:
I ordered this and after applying it I have multiple bubbles and a peice of sediment in the middle of the screen :( It looked perfect at first when I finished, then I looked at it 5-10 mins later and was disgusted by my failure.

Take your time applying it! I found the techskin easier to apply than the screen protector. Op makes it look easy.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekerz:
Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.

If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekerz:
no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
Well, after 2 weeks 'away' to an Atrix, today I came back to the Inspire. Although the Atrix is smaller, higher resolution, has better sound and video, and an excellent battery, the inspire is simply a better all round experience IMHO. It's Sense that does it.
