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

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;31712577]I am so jealous, I had to pay that for my ZTE Blade in a 2-year contract. [editline]13th August 2011[/editline] I am so jealous, I had to pay that for my ZTE Blade in a 2-year contract.[/QUOTE] I got a Samsung Captivate on AT&T for $19.99 I feel bad for you now :(

[QUOTE=Splarg!;31713837]But the battery will fully charge even if the phone doesn't think so. Leave it in for awhile and see what the voltage tops out at.[/QUOTE] How do I check that? I need to root it for that anyway, and I don't have an adapter for my SD card so I can't make a goldcard. After some research I might not need one, since my phone most likley is not locked to an operator.

Got my Samsung Galaxy SII three days ago. Smartphone: 79,90€ Vodafone SuperFlat Internet: ~35€/month My first android, it's awesome.

The battery calibration app will also tell you that, even if you don't have root yet.

Aaww yeah I'm down at firmware 1.31 now :D Rooting time!

Buying the deal i posted eariler... So excited!

Phone is rooted!

Can you recommend me good Java+Android tutorials? I never learned Java, but I have some experience in programming

Alright, I'm in Phuket! Still didn't find any Android stuff yet... I did see some fake ipods. There aren't any fake android honeycomb tablets, as far as I know.

Just got a Tmobile G2x today, and man I am so happy with it. Never had an Android phone, let alone a smart phone. This thing is just so slick too.

Oh god, I love the fake chinese knockoffs!

I just bought an EVO 3D and might sell it to get an ice cream sandwich device when they arrive.

Gonna calibrate my battery, following [URL=http://forums.androidcentral.com/incredible-rooting-roms-hacks/20259-calibrating-your-battery-android.html]this[/URL]. How do I mount /system and /data? I can't find any partitions menu :o

I hope Ice Cream Sandwich gets ported to my blade :(

Hm, I have to have a fully charge battery to calibrate, and I can only get it to 71%, which is about 3968mV. I've been charging and I've been stuck at that point for about 1.5 hours now so... What can I do?

Isn't there an option to force calibration?

[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;31724053]Full charge is around 4200mV, so I'd say you're close enough. Isn't there an option to force calibration?[/QUOTE] Yes there is, was just unsure about doing it. [editline]14th August 2011[/editline] What the hell, it says "Calibration failed, make sure device is rooted!" and it is rooted.

Yes

[QUOTE=KillerTele;31724159]Yes[/QUOTE] Only other thing I can think of is BusyBox, but you probably already have that installed.

Never heard of it

For learning to develop for Android, I'd first have a firm understanding of Java, I did this by getting the book Head First Java, which is a pretty decent book, works through all of the theory with practical examples, then it helps you into your first project, then look into a more Android specific book.
