[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
The only reason I wouldn't get the Samsung tablets is because of the cheap plastic Samsung is obsessed with using on all of their devices. Hands-on with the 10.1 have already belittled the device to a "cheap plastic toy tablet". No other well-known major Android manufacturer has taken this approach with any of the announced Honeycomb tablets.

Even the presumed aluminum rim around the GTab 10.1 is said to be plastic. The only reason I will consider their tablets is because of the specs. More specifically the screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bandage:
Couple things to consider here...weight for one. Cost would also factor in. If they release the 10.1 around Xoom pricing, that'd be a mistake. Although, have you held the Xoom? It feels almost identical to the Viewsonic GTab, perhaps slightly more solid because of the aluminum....all the tablets I've gone through have had similar builds, except the iPad. I loved the iPad's durability...just not the closed OS & aspect ratio / build format. I prefer the widescreen build.

The plastic is durable however, without a doubt. In all the posts here on XDA, I've rarely seen a comment regarding the body of a device breaking. Most have shattered a screen. I've dropped my devices extremely rarely...maybe two times over the course of a year, and that was my Vibrant phone. Not even a scratch.Am I overly cautious? Not that I've noticed...I just don't take the tablets when I'm hiking / biking / wrestling / playing football. Plus, I like to sell them when I get bored, so I like them to be mint. Not to mention I NEVER use a device without a case, personal preference.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I don't mind with plastic from Samsung as I own Nexus S. The Nexus S uses this kind of plastic compare to better material from HTC (I own HTC Desire as well). It is still good and durable.

For table features, after I saw and read almost read everything about Xoom:

- SD card slot is not that important for me as long as there is 64GB model. This came from Nexus S that has no SD card either. I can live with no SD card slot. The only thing SD card slot is needed if you really (REALLY) stuff everything to the tablets. That's why 64GB model is important.

- HDMI out is also not important for me as I have dedicated media player at home to stream from my 4TB NAS.

- USB port to connect and sync files with PC. This is required and handy for works. But, probably I can live with accessories if I have to :( Meaning, a proprietary connector via main connector?

- SCREEN, I really expect much better than Xoom washed out LCD. From 11 minutes video that I saw of GTab 10.1, this might be OK. The screen looks better than Xoom

- Lightness. The lighter, the better, period.

Well, all this Android Honeycomb tablets are just "first generation". There will be some lack of features, half baked features, annoyances and issues. But that's fine for first generation. So, my purchase will be based on that mind set. I will NOT expect much :)

Most probably I will just simply buy another upcoming hardware in 2012! Which I expect, the Android Honeycomb will be mature enough. And give this 2011 tablet to my wife or as "a toy" for my little daughter :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] brandenk0:
One thing to note is that even though the Samsung's products are made of plastic, my Vibrant couldn't be more durable. I like having a metal body which HTC usually has but, even if the Vibrant feels cheap and plasticky, I have used it without a case or screen protector for the entire time I've had it. Dropped it a few times and it hasn't suffered a scratch. Other than that I believe the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be a solid device and Samsung uses good hardware so no worries there. Only problems I see are the ports on this device and also how updates are going to go. If it's like any of the Galaxy S phones then there might be a few problems. But this is looking to be a top of the line device.

Dear All ROM Developers..,

I have tested almost every ROM in this forum which developers say are "MULTI CSC" ones. But unfortunately never found "INU" or any india specific CSC except in one or two ROM's..

Same is with product code..

Even for locale, English (India) settings are not found..

I feel there are lot many custom rom users from India in this forum..

I hope something can be done on this..

If someone helps, i dont mind spending some time to develop some flashable update to get all these things in one place

Thanks a ton

goto your environment varibles in the advanced system settings

scroll to path and click edit and type

[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
if you're running 64bit windows, then you have to open up IE 64bit version and go to java's download site to get the 64bit specific java install package, otherwise apk manager will freak out.

(apk manager doesn't detect the difference between 32bit and 64bit. 32bit java on a 64bit windows os looks in c:\program files\java\ while java is actually installed to c:\program files (x86)\java and apk manager doesn't reference that).

[Captivate General] biggem001:
Im running CM7 on my cappy and today my power button started failing. Volume and such work though.

Im trying to get it to stock so i can trade it in. Would a jig get me in to download? i can normally do the key combo, but when i put in the battery, it just starts up. maybe because of cm7?
[Captivate General] clemmie:
You might still be able to get it into DL mode. Fire up Odin 1-click, and plug your usb cable into your computer. Remove the battery cover, sim, external sd and battery, then replace the battery. Hold down both volume rocker keys and plug your mini usb into the top of the phone. That normally will put you in DL mode.
[Captivate General] biggem001:
i tried that, but as soon as the battery gets put in, the phone starts up and download mode wont come up. maybe because of CM7?

- i really dont mind getting a jig. but wouldn't want to waste money. should i?
[Captivate General] bencaptivate:
i had this problem too at first. this worked for me

1. remove battery, sim and microsd card

2. plug micro-usb cable into your computer and the phone

3. hold volume up+down

4. insert battery

for some reason cm7 doesn't like to turn off while plugged in so for me putting the usb in before the battery did the trick

hm, tired that. all it does it stay on the loading screen thing when u plug in ur phone as its charging and off.

then it goes to black and the loading screen comes back..
[Captivate General] xeni:
If you have one of the captivates that has the 3 Buttons disabled you will get this. I have the same issue with my captivate but I bought a JIG and now it works just fine.

1. Remove battery, SIM

2. Launch ODIN

3. Insert JIG into phone

4. Plugin battery and wait for Download Mode

5. Remove JIG and connect to laptop with regular USB cable

Is this really a thread. You use your phone nonstop and wonder why your battery lasts the way it does. You cant compare a psp to a nexus s. Close this thread. You want better battery life stop hogging the phone.
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
My battery lasts me all day. I play n64oid for an hour a day during lunch at work. That drains 15% to 20% during that time. So yeah, that sounds normal.

Its not a console, built only for games. It has other things running all the time. Also, my old PSP maybe got 5 hours, you must have an extended battery.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
yes this is normal

i can burn through the 100% charged battery in 3~4 hours just browsing the internet alone

the WiFi or 3G is what eats all the power, same goes for the SAMOLED

other devices last even less time, using HTC Desire and similar devices i can drain the battery in 2~3 hours

i always carry extra battery packs with me, i'm a heavy duty user :D

So, to your answer, no, it is not unusual

High end 3D games also uses a lot of power in the CPU, GPU, SAMOLED and if you are playing online like WOW online for Android, then it will go up even faster.

[Q] Battery life, compared to the Galaxy S

Hi guys,

I used to have a Galaxy S device, and recently purchased a Nexus S, and gave the Galaxy S to my wife.

I assumed that, given the fact that these two devices have a very similar hardware, the battery life would be somewhat similar in both.

However, this is not what I have experienced at all. I basically reinstalled all my apps and home configuration in the Nexus S. The only difference being that I'm using a darker wallpaper now (which is supposed to improve battery life.) The rest is pretty much identical - I basically restored all data from my apps using Titanium Backup (not the system data, evidently.)

I have noticed however that the Nexus S spends a lot more battery than my Galaxy S, especially when the phone is idle. I have everything turned off (GPS, NFC, 3G and Wi-Fi) just as I did with the other phone. Even on Airplane Mode the Nexus S seems to use a lot more battery. Leaving the phone on Airplane Mode at night would barely consume any battery at all with the Galaxy S. The Nexus S does take some hit though.

The battery life is still not a bad one. Especially when compared to LCD phones. However, the Galaxy S is significantly better with stock 2.2.

My question is: Why could this be? Is it because of Gingerbread? Or am I missing something?

Thanks guys!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it's quite the opposite for me

my previous phone was a SGS and it chewed more battery than the SNS
[Nexus S General] zeb_:
Try to deactivate the GPS and Wifi if you do not use them. You can also use some apps to deactivate 3G access.

I wish Samsung produced higher capacity batteires though.
[Nexus S General] lfmmoura:
Was your SGS on 2.1?

I did notice that on Froyo (2.2) the SGS had a much better battery life than on Eclair (2.1). It really made a great difference.

But my SGS on Froyo is consuming a lot less battery than the SNS on 2.3. Especially when the phone is idle (both with everything turned off and set to GSM or even on Air Plane Mode).

So I was wondering if this could be a software issue.
[Nexus S General] sano614:
Same with me. I came from a Vibrant, and no matter what ROM I used, I'd lose around 8-15% of battery while sleeping.

With the same settings, and apps now on the Nexus, I lose 1-2 percent while I'm sleeping. :D

The idle is a lot better for me with the Nexus, and I lose a little bit less while I'm actually using the phone as well.
[Nexus S General] lfmmoura:
For me it's exactly the other way around. I assume your Vibrant was on 2.1, right? Cause in 2.2 the SGS does much better. And this is what I would lose: 1-2 percent when on airplane mode for an entire night.

Mind sharing what your config is? I'm on 2.3.3 + Netarchy 1.2.7
[Nexus S General] sano614:
I was on 2.2 on the Vibrant. I was mainly using the Axura and Trigger roms.

My config on the Nexus is: Stock 2.3.3 with Launcher Pro. :)

Go get it exchanged and if it keeps happening, then it's your usage that you need to deal with by getting more batteries or keep it on the charger whenever you can.

I have an extended battery and an extended external battery pack : )

~Sent from my Nexus S with Swype~
[Nexus S General] sdalton:
So wait - your PSP has both an extended battery and an extended external battery and you're surprised it lasts longer?

The Nexus S has a 1500 mAh battery in it. The PSP extended is a good 3600 mAh, and external packs can be 4200 or more. So that's 1500mAh for the phone and 7800 for the PSP. The PSP has 5.2x as much battery to power it, so it's logical that it'd last longer.

The phone's also a lot smaller and running power hungry radios for network connectivity, an OS to manage everything and misc. background tasks in addition to whatever game is running.
[Nexus S General] AndyCr15:
You're brave saying this in this thread. Most of us now thing you're an idiot...

My Nexus S went 33 hours before last charge. I am a light user though.

To check how you're does, don't use it for at least an hour one time, coming off charge. You should only lose 2-4%. Then check battery usage and see what's taking power when the phone should be doing very little.
[Nexus S General] lfmmoura:
Hi guys,

I believe it may have something to do with your ROM+kernel+modem configuration as well.

After posting about the fact that my SNS' battery wouldn't last as long as my former (and now my wife's) SGS' under the same configuration, I decided to give Cyanogen Mod 7 nightly build 11 and the KB3 modem try.

I'm happy to inform that now my SNS' battery is lasting at least as much as my former SGS, if not even more! :-)

For those of you with battery problems, perhaps it's worth a shot. I'm running CM 7 nightly 11 + KB3 + Netarchy 1.2.7 with no overclocking. All installed after a full wipe.

Hope this helps someone with similar issues.
[Nexus S General] flunik:
try installing 'system panel'. you can enable the logging for cpu usage and battery life there. idle should be <1% cpu usage on average to ensure good lifetime :)
