[Galaxy Tab General] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
I had an ipad as well. I really liked it till I got a tab. It's a matter of size, customization and functionality to me. I like the ability to customize my technology (whatever it is) to work the way I do. The ipads interface and apps just didn't allow me to work the way I want.

In the end, I gave it to my daughter. She loves it to death. I attribute this to the fact that she doesn't do a whole lot of thinking.

The ipad is pretty much a perfect facebook companion.

EDIT: I just talked to my daughter, and she's back to her (windows 7) laptop for facebook. Something about the ipad not being able to do anything with pictures from her camera. She asked me if the tab had a card slot and I told her it did. She then asked if she could trade the ipad for my tab. I laughed. So, I'm getting the ipad back, tossing it on fleabay, and getting another tab.

No sd or microsd on the ipad? I didn't even notice that, as I only used it for a few days before I gave it to her. I just looked, and there's none on the ipad 2 either? Lol. In the ipad 3 or 4, maybe steve jobs can get one of his cronies to add a microsd socket, and he can charge for every file that gets transferred from or to it. lol.

My kids are all very, very tech savvy. It says a lot to me that they don't want an ipad even when it's *given* to them.

he is right Ipad is nicer piece of hardware...but that it.

he is right Ipad is nicer piece of hardware...but that it.

my son(macbook/ipad/iphone3gs) and daughter (macbook/ipod)are mac kids.

The devices are beutifull and well made...and run like butta!

My problem is with apple and the hold they have on the software.

Flash is a must (now not in 5years) and I love the fact that developers give you otions on what you want to run on a device you paid for - With android.

itunes is cool but you are stuck with the ios device...even after you spend all the cash for movies and music...only ios can play!

Hell no... I am an american and freedom is the american way.

Death to S. Jobs. (maybe not death...at least a sprained ankle.)

ANDROID FO LIFE!
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
ipad 2 has the .03 megapixel camera, tell her she doesnt need her camera any more hahahahahahah
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
I'm also going to share my thoughts.

I actually have a Nook Color - But it's comparable to the tab (dont decapitate me.. :D).

I like iOs, because it's simple and always works. I still have to reinstall it every 6 months, because I somehow always manage to junk it so full, that it actually doesn't work anymore. (jailbreak etc.).

What I don't like about iOs, that you have to jailbreak it so you can customize it, but you can't customize a lot and what I'm also missing are basic widgets.

What i like about Apple products is that they are very well designed, also robust and nice looking (always). My Ipod3G fell down about 30-50 times, and nothing broke (i also have a case).

What I like most about Apple products has actually nothing to do with the device itself:

With apple products one always gets a huge community support, enabling the jailbreak, and making great cydia apps that allow you to make your device finally yours.

and second off course the apps, iOs has got really great apps, and all of them are functioning. Steve Jobs proudly said that there are 65.000 apps for the ipad.

I changed over to android, because it fed me up to not being able to update, because otherwise I would lose the Jailbreak, and an iOS-device without jailbreak is like a headphone without cable^^(in****s XD).

What I see as a problem for any android tablet is simply that there are hardly any tablet apps, for an ipad you get music production software and all sorts of fun apps, and for the tab you cant even get a nice mail app in the market ( i use Mail'd though).

I just didnt buy the ipad, because it's to expensiv, too big and I was actually looking for an ereader. But the sad thing is that I haven't found any better use for it, than it being an ereader. With the tab off course you get 3g and a camera and stuff like that, but I really miss tablet optimized apps.

I hope that honeycomb will start to get the developers to make some slick apps, but I dought that there will be a big variety.

By the way, there's that sdcardreader adapter for the ipad, allows you to import fotos to your ipad, the usbrcameradongle, allows you to connect your camera. With a jailbreak you can also mount Usb sticks and Harddrives if they are powered, so if they need extra power, a extra Usb cable you have to provide that otherwise it wont work.
[Galaxy Tab General] pwrsrc:
I will never buy an apple product again. I got so irked at them when they purposely released an iOS that made my iPhone completely nonfunctional. Wanna read the news? There's an app for that! *waits 3 minutes to load* *click on article.....crashed to homescreen...* FFFUUUUUUUUUUU

I mean ffs the new iOS made my phone so bad that I couldn't answer calls. The iPhone wasn't even functional as a PHONE.

That and I got sick and tired of having to backup my stupid phone just to add one song.

Don't get me wrong, I know that as the OS advances, it requires more resources but they could have at least gave us a few options to disable the fancy 3d effects and stuff. I'm still stuck on my iphones contract but I got so frustrated that I just got a tab and downgraded the iPhone plan to a dumbphone plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] ourtech:
I am not an Apple basher as I have been a Mac owner. I had an iPad for 3 weeks and sent it back. It does some things very well and I do feel that it is a little more mature. But I sent it back because it is a big iPod (no flames please), not a real computing device. There are several things that make this or any future version of iPad a non-starter for me.

IOS lacks a true visible file system. The application owns the data and unless an application is written to be aware of other apps, the files are unavailable to other apps, even if they know how to read the file format. Also, deleting the app deletes the data. Sorry, but that is an accident waiting to happen. Unacceptable. Add the absolute control that Apple maintains and I am done. Plus, throw in the size and weight (it is HEAVY).

The Galaxy Tab is a dream come true. Size, weight, performance are perfect. When you can fold the iPad and put it in a coat pocket I will look twice and then probably pass. I might take a picture of it with my Galaxy Tab. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
watching apple vs android is almost similar like watching republic vs democrat :D no offense intended

i never own any apple products though, but i've seen some from my friends

nice hardware, yes, but thats it

the gui is so blah made me not interested in iOS at all

and what makes me hate iOS more is the cockyness of their ifan

I once told my friend that i want to buy htc smartphone when he squirk and laugh at me and said "Dude, you have the money, why would you buy an "HTC" phone when you can get all the prestige using "iPhone"?"

that alone makes me skyrocketing into apple hater :D

I better spend my money on a device that gave me feature and freedom instead of being a dog and woof to every little thing Steve Jobs point at

and that video from conan about Ipad 2 was blast ^^

but still, a person's choice is very well their own rights, and we have to respect that

fare thee well my bro, who crossed over to the dark side

wish you all the best :D
[Galaxy Tab General] e654777:
:). I love my tab. I love Android. That's much I can say.
[Galaxy Tab General] misfit1306:


This is one of the funniest replies I've read in a while. I have a 13 year old daughter who had an iPhone and always complained about how Facebook didn't work right with (who usually said this in a whiny voice while twirling her hair on one finger....also not a big thinker). I've been hardcore android for years now and combined with XDA it seem the possibilities are limitless. Yes there are limits, but these forums are full of some geniuses and tremendously creative thinkers that put many of Apples payroll staff to shame. And the guys and gals on XDA don't do it for any money but for the sheer thrill of achieving what the big phone companies say we can't have. They do it for our community of android pirates. The android forums here always feel like a family that challenges eathother, roasts eachother, supports eachother, and saves eachothers tails when we think we just bricked our two day old device. As long as I've been on XDA I still get excited each time I login wondering what new thing my fellow pirates have figured out today. I get thrilled everytime gangs like Cyannogen, Team Whiskey, or the hundreds of others bust open a new level of my device. Don't be discouraged by the early development phase of the Galaxy Tab....trust me they always start this way. Give it a couple months, usually less, and watch what happens. You'll slunk in the door from a monotonous day at work and out of routine just pop into Galaxy Tab forum and see that sweet thread full of mixed caps and lower case followed by some goofy line attempting humor that will be announcing the stable release of a fully functional Honeycomb rom with phone and 3g and later that same week some of the artists in our android family will have built a dozen themes to go with it. Your outlook will be changed. You don't see folks on any Apple forum like you do on XDA. Screw the Ipad.....I've always had a rebel streak in me..and a unquenchable addiction to technology so this place is home. Right here with the misfits and pirate hackers of the Android world. You NEVER know what to expect around here and getting flamed by your peers on here is a right of passage that we've ALL been through at some point. I just bought this tab a week ago and I bought a Vibrant when they first came out and there was nothing to choose from there at first either. Now trek on over to the Vibrant thread and have a look. Its one of the best threads on here and you can choose from one of the thirty something well produced ROMS on there with hundreds of themeing options. When I was in tmobile getting my tab the 20something year old sales guy saw my vibrant sitting on the counter running Bionix latest with blazing lockscreens and other tweaks he flipped out. I was in the store another hour explaining the beginning steps to flashing and directing them to XDA. I felt like I had just recruited five new little pirates. A room full of T-Mobile employees wanted me to stay and root all their phones for them....now that's hilarious irony. No....wait......that's ANDROID!
[Galaxy Tab General] terminatorxman:
Same here, I must have sold 4 mytouch 4gs while paying my bill, just because they saw cm7 on my phone and how much more u can make it your own. Just wait till my Tmobile Guy sees my tab with honeycomb theme and 1.4ghz o'clocking. Android baby!

[HD7 General] jjimenezjj:
If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...

Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA :confused: (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.

I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance :)
[HD7 General] ouzoboy:
Since it runs on the Bell firmware you must enable the data roaming. In the first pic that you posted it looks like you have it off. Give it a try and report.
[HD7 General] zetagnosis:
can you post the "More Info" result ???
[HD7 General] itsedstech:
try downloading "connection setup" from the marketplace in the htc apps section, run it and you should be good to go.
[HD7 General] dovid:
B"H

Seems silly, but did you actually setup your APNs?

Not sure I saw that in the pics.

Good Luck,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricFi:
I successfully (after 3 hours) rooted and upgraded my wife's Samsung Moment to froyo 2.2. and removed a bunch of stuff that'll never get used off her new rom and everything is 100% working!

SD ca

So now that my confidence level is a bit higher now.. I wanted to start on my Evo, it's already been rooted with UnrEVOked and that was a huge step for me!

I rely heavily on my Evo daily and can't afford to brick it, nor can I afford to buy another, so I'm very cautiuos..

Well I decided to upgrade my radio version. It's a very old revision, 1 notch above the original.

I'm still on Android 2.1.

OK... I get the radio upgrade, put it into the root of the SDCard, go into recovery, got everything ready to go.. pushed the button, and I get the error message that the .zip file wasn't compatible with clockworld mod.

and that the .zip file is only good good for android 1.5.

So I need to know where I can get the updated radio version for the clockworld mod???

Am I making any sense?

Thank You for any advice!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm not familiar with clockwork mod recovery (it's clockwork), because I use Amon Ra recovery. However, I know there are a few different clockwork mod versions. I'm not sure if they are all compatible with 2.1 or not, but you could try updating your recovery, using ROM manager. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to Froyo? You should update, unless there's a specific reason you've stayed with 2.1. If I were in your situation, this is what I'd do. Create a nandroid backup. Backup your important stuff. Completely wipe the phone, using your recovery. Flash the most recent radios, from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 Flash a 2.2 ROM, update your recovery (if you didn't already) Thats just me though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricFi:
I'm still looking at the rom lists to see whats on each. I was looking at kings 2.3 but it has no 4g.. i live in a 4g area n want that feature available.. but there's so much to readthru i'm thinking to much into it and confusing myself..
[Networking] bubuyogzzz:
Is there any way to bypass a secured WiFi?

I'm using Samsung SGH-i600..
[Networking] Laramie1997:
Eerrmmm...

Short answer- Yes.

Long answer-

Not sure if you realize or not, but that's kind of illegal. It's a white collar crime at any rate, but still no good.

As far as I know, I've only seen phones breaking the WEP encryption, but I will not point you in a direction to look nor tell you how to do it.

It's not as easy as some will lead you to believe.

I think it is really very interesting. I will try to google it and post it here if i fond something.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
Hmm, it seems like the trackpad (home button) doesn't work.

Well it works as a trackpad and can select items and open them and all that, but when I want to try and start the phone, it doesn't work. I have to use the power button for that.

It started when I upgraded from Froyo HTC Sense to CM7 Gingerbread.

Is there an app out there that enables it again?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
you should go through and learn the CM settings, there are a few different settings that allow you to wake the phone and unlock it with the trackpad

menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>input>then check trackball wake

and if you want it for unlock also then

menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings>lockscreen settings>unlock options and check the trackball unlock
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
Oh okay. I see it. One more thing, is there a way where I can make the phone vibrate when I get a text message? The phone doesn't vibrate when I put the phone on vibrate
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
yes there is... first go into your text messages

then menu>settings>notifications settings> and there is a vibrate drop menu and a vibrate pattern dropbox, really nice feature btw and also welcome to the AOSP roms

feel free to hit the thanks button on my post too if i have helped you
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
Wow thanks a whole bunch!! Ill thank you right when I get on my computer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
np bro, feel free to pm me any questions you have about CM roms, as they seem to be what i am on the most, that or the liquid metal ports, but i am still learning them, so it is a little rough for me at times, but i am always happy to help when i can!!

Happy modding bro!

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maan1976:
Anybody can post Steve's tweaks in build.prop. I wanna implement his tweaks into my official 2.2 dell 318 build prop.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
You can download any of the Streakdroid builds, extract them with a zip utility and then you would have all of the files. If you had examined one of the rom zip files you would also know that there are multiple build prop files in them. (at least in the latest builds).

I suspect that people who can't figure things out on their own are closer to being useless than those who ignore requests that be easily fulfilled by the person asking.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:

U can use the perf mod for official froyo 2.2

Good news. The MotoDev site is now hosting the material needed for unlock / reflash / relock. You need to register but no big deal.

Forum post: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46069?start=0&tstart=0

Device Software: http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/

The commands to flash and re-lock your device are as follows:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Ok he is now saying its up. Has anyone acutally found the files? Noone on the Moto forums will say sh** about their exact location.

Update: Seems the link to where the files are posted is incorrectly mapped. They are looking into getting the issue fixed so officials are up but not accessible.
[Xoom Android Development] onicrom:
I tried looking for the files, but that site is worse than trying to find firmware on the ibm site!
[Xoom Android Development] wnrussell:
Jump to the end of the thread. They are aware of the link issue and expected it up today.
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
I will post the files in a new thread as soon as I find them available.
[Xoom Android Development] whiteblazer00:

c'mon people, lets get that file posted!
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Give em about 5 minutes I will try to get them posted.
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
Its all good, just bit the bullet and signed up for Moto Dev. File downloading now :)
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Lol np. You figure its probally good you did being that any futeure files, if not evetually the updates will be posted there.
[Xoom Android Development] whiteblazer00:
haha, i was refreshing every 5 seconds on the moto thread. lol
[Xoom Android Development] lwick74:
Just relocked on my mac using the moto software, good to go!
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
So we have the commands from Moto:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

But for those (like me) who aren't super confident in their skills in this area, what steps are not mentioned above? Obviously we'd need to reboot to fastboot (power button + volume up). Then once we're there, we just use the commands above in adb? No additional reboots/remounts/etc involved here? In other words, no steps missing above that might not be obvious to some users?
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Here are the steps in order to use the files ( I will post the files in a couple minutes, uploading now)

1. Extract the files to the android-sdk/tools folder

2 open command prompt/terminal from the sdk tools folder

3. adb reboot bootloader

4 fastboot flash boot boot.img

5 fastboot flash system system.img

6 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

7 fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

8 fastboot erase cache

9 fastboot oem lock

You are now relocked and back to stock (no root) If VZ or Moto will know that you were ever rooted I dont know.
[Xoom Android Development] lwick74:
Actually you will be using the fastboot cmd not ADB (adb reboot bootloader to get into fastboot), totally different thing. Just follow the commands motorola has and your all set (no rebooting, just one after the other). When you get to the oem lock part, use the volume controls on the xoom to choose yes to continue....

jmc2543 post is exactly what I did
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Thing you have to remember is you have to be in the recovery which is what the adb command does in order to use the fastboot commands. For windows anyways. I just tried fastboot commands from the desktop and the cmd prompt sits there.
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Ok im stock now give me my damn update.
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
Nice, all set to go now. Thanks for the help bro!
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
To make things easier I will be making a new post as to the steps and offering the files. This post has gotten so long it will be hard to find the files.
[Xoom Android Development] nuetron:
Will following those instructions provided by motorola reset my device to defaults? Do I start from fresh?
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
It will erase your device but it will not require you to reacitvate your device. All personal data will be gone. Relocking the device wipes the partition.
[Xoom Android Development] idkwhothatis123:
agreed. can't wait to have that update cracked and oc'd. maybe this will fix the video playback issue :rolleyes:
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
The only thing it does is preps for flash and fixes a DST issue. Here are the release notes http://bit.ly/fLc2fZ
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:
many many thanks for your help and getting at those moto admins to help us :cool:

btw i guess this means we have to stay unrooted for future updates and until we get full sd card support and clockwork recovery going?
[Xoom Android Development] jmc2543:
Not sure. I myself am not a Dev. Someone will have to take a look at the file to see if the update is rootable. I am sure these files will still be good after the update. But not sure if the update will be rootable, or if it can be will rooting undo the flash support and DST fixes.
[Xoom Android Development] mazz0310:
The xoom will always be rootable. As long as you can unlock the bootloader you can root it.
