Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

I asked iris what the time was "LOL! YOU ARE FUNNY" erm

Iris sounds better than Siri [editline]20th October 2011[/editline] Also, guys, looking for a list of MIUI themes, but could only find the lockscreen thread. Any threads with Status bar or boot animations?

Just learned you can use the phone as a microSD reader from within Clockworkmod Recovery.

[QUOTE=superstepa;32868912]After first time using Market Doctor in Tbackup (Was using simple data restore before) I can't see most of the apps I have installed in "My Apps" page Is it normal?[/QUOTE] If you can't see the apps in market, first try going to application management and clearing Market data. Any applications that don't appear after that go to market.android.com on a desktop, log in to your Google account and push the missing apps to your phone again, then restore those application's data in titanium backup.

Just saw the news of the Asus Transformer Prime. From their youtube channel it looks like it will have forward facing flash, although the forward camera isn't all that useful on a tablet. Wish they flipped the cameras around and put the high quality one above the screen for better video calls instead. It also appears to have a backlit keyboard and will run ICS. And as expected Nvidia Tegra 3. Surface appears to be brushed metal instead of plastic, wonder how that will factor into weight. No word on if the Transformer Prime will be compatable with the Transformer keyboard or not. I'm torn between wanting compatability and wanting micro-USB instead of Asus' proprietary port. Micro-HDMI and USB ports seem to be unchanged, no news on the full SD card slot.

Apparently my ZTE Blade doesn't have enough ROM for ICS, so gingerbread is as far as I can take it :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32875508]Apparently my ZTE Blade doesn't have enough ROM for ICS, so gingerbread is as far as I can take it :saddowns:[/QUOTE] What's the requirements for ICS then?

[QUOTE=Van-man;32875707]What's the requirements for ICS then?[/QUOTE] He's on about the actual size of the Read Only Memory on the device, ICS seems to be a big release! Not sure on the specific requirements though.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;32875824]He's on about the actual size of the Read Only Memory on the device, ICS seems to be a big release! Not sure on the specific requirements though.[/QUOTE] I've been told 1GB minimum. Does this mean I might finally be able to get a Nexus?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32876029]I've been told 1GB minimum. Does this mean I might finally be able to get a Nexus?[/QUOTE]1 GB? Sweet lord. My Eris is really showing its age!

latest Maps update changed the +/- buttons visuals, looks like preparation for ICS

Could someone upload the latest Voice Search's apk?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32875508]Apparently my ZTE Blade doesn't have enough ROM for ICS, so gingerbread is as far as I can take it :saddowns:[/QUOTE] We could just do what the Desire users have to do for some sense roms, use the SD Card as a bit of space.

[QUOTE=JimJam707;32877858]We could just do what the Desire users have to do for some sense roms, use the SD Card as a bit of space.[/QUOTE] Go on, I'm Interested.

Doesn't that only work for app space? [editline]20th October 2011[/editline] And Desire ROM's that were too big forced all apps onto the SD, thus making more room for the actual ROM.

quick I can get a Motorola Xoom 32GB for $340 Worth it?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32879869]Isn't the SD card a little too slow to store the OS on?[/QUOTE] Depends on the class of the sd card

Fuck, I bought it. It may have a bad screen and a weird form factor but these are things that are not a big deal to me. So after 6 months of saying I'd get one, I finally got an Android tablet!

[QUOTE=Wolfyhound;32880112]Isn't it one hell of a heavy tablet?[/QUOTE] I carry around a 2 inch thick, 13.3 inch screen laptop with an extended battery every day... I'm not going to be too bothered.

I unintentionally bricked my Blade. Default recovery, so can't boot into Clockwork and work from there. Wouldn't boot into OS for some reason. Boot into fastboot, flash Clockwork onto recovery partition with one command, now it's restoring my backup. I fucking love Android.

There's photos of the HTC Rezound headed to Verizon. Just a refresher on the phone: 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S3 processor, 1 GB RAM, 4.3" screen @ 1280x720 S-LCD most likely, 1620 mAh stock battery with 2750 mAh official extended battery, 8 MP camera rear, 2 MP front, Beats by Dr. Dre branded, LTE, EV-DO, 1x, replacement for the Thunderbolt. Runs Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.5. [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/10/htc-rezound.jpg[/img] IMO Google should have the battery percentage automatically show up in the battery bar for stock Android, and battery calibration should be able to be done through an integrated system application that has explicit directions to properly calibrate it so people stop BAWWing about how their phone has shit battery life.

Man, why do Moto and HTC release their cool phones exclusive to Verizon and Sprint?

[QUOTE=Ezhik;32884935]Man, why do Moto and HTC release their cool phones exclusive to Verizon and Sprint?[/QUOTE]I thought you guys get all the cool phones before us? Or at least get a GSM version?

[QUOTE=Demache;32885682]I thought you guys get all the cool phones before us? Or at least get a GSM version?[/QUOTE] What? That's bullshit. Motorola never released their fucking droid phones. Cept Milestone 1 and 2. And I always wanted the EVO 4G.

[QUOTE=shian;32885737]What? That's bullshit. Motorola never released their fucking droid phones. Cept Milestone 1 and 2. And I always wanted the EVO 4G.[/QUOTE]I was always under the impression that these phones had rough GSM equivalents, since Verizon and Sprint phones are CDMA phones. And Droid is a Verizon branding, so they aren't going to release any "Droid" phones on anything but Verizon.

Either way unless you seriously value HTC Sense that much, I'd suggest looking around for other OEMs for Androids. I'll get excited once HTC starts releasing Snapdragon S4 equipped phones next year. If HTC is reading this: Snapdragon S4 at 1.5 GHz with AT&T LTE, HSPA+ bands, quad/pentaband GSM/EDGE, 720p AH-IPS screen at 4.5", sound on par with Galaxy S1, 2000 mAh removable battery, 1.5 GiB RAM, 16 GiB NAND Flash and support for 64 GB microSDs, ICS w/ HTC Sense, unlocked bootloader, thinner than 11 mm and lighter than 150g. That would be an amazing phone.
