Wish I understood (russion?) "Watched" it anyways though, thanks.

Nice one. Went into more detail on the Gear Apps, and even showed gameplay. I'm not going to play any games on mine though.

New Life Birthed into the Eris

My first smart phone was the eris. I hated iphones and and pretty much everything else seemed overpriced. So i decided to step into the world of smartphones. I was persuaded by my research of the phones that were out at the time to go with a droid eris as i didnt find any other phones that were strictly touch screen. This was around November. I was shocked by how insane the possibilitys with this phone. I hadnt rooted as it was not possible that the time. Few months later i choose to look back and see what the news was. I came across this place to see that root had been found and how excited i was to have discovered this place. I looked into rooting and how to install things like the recovery img and what a rom was! The people seemed to be very kind and helpful to bringing this phone out of the dark age that was the restraints on this phone. after about months and months of fooling around i learned to own my phone like a 7 year old owning his father at halo. But issues were brought to light sadly and the eris community seemed to slow down with the excitement as is expected of an EOL phone. my sadness slowly over came me but i never left this place hoping to see what the left over momentum would bring out. New roms and small tweaks seemed slow at first then a sudden rise started. Unsure of what it caused brought a rush of new content to this site. The devs seemed almost overjoyed with the small titan that is the Eris. The wave slowly picked up and almost topped off till one thing came to view.
FROYO
This is the start of a beast of a update to the eris. It has givin this phone a burst of reason to buy and even use the phone once more. I hope i can speak for the entire eris community. THANK YOU!! thank you for making this phone the one toy/tool worth showing off to everyone i meet. You devs keep it up and if any help is needed from the community dont hesitate to ask. I will strive to do all i can to make this phone a power house in the android community!!
I echo your sentiments almost exactly! Except I didn't get my phone till a couple of months ago, and I don't play Halo because I don't want to get embarrassed by those same 7 year olds online and then talked smack to lol. Other than that, I am hoping this Froyo concept gets some more members interested in working with this phone a bit more before it passes away. I believe that they have stopped selling it, but geez, there are quite a few of us that can't afford to spend $100s on the latest and greatest phone without a new contract, so let's make the most of it while we can!
dont be so fast to give it an insane rating...Although we might have:
Overclock (to 806mhz)
Apps2SD (save internal memory by installing apps to SD card)
Live Wallpapers
Root
Navi
and now Froyo

What kind of videos are we talking about here? Flash or downloaded formats like AVI and MP4? I use Meridian and haven't had any issues with downloaded movies, although I've really only tried a couple since I don't care to use my phone to watch anything longer than a youtube video or something along those lines.
Rockplayer basically plays everything, avi and mkv are supported I believe. Of course mp4's are.

hm...I'm running damageRom 4.6 r2.....I used the rock player apk from the xda home page from last night...and I got nothin man..it doesnt play a 350mb avi file..
I'm running Sense-able 3.1, and I can install Rockplayer, but when I try to open a video file the screen goes blank for 1-2 seconds, and then goes back to the directory listing. I've never been able to get it to play a video.
To counter this, I've just been encoding my videos using mp4 h.264, and playing them using the gallery. It's been working fantastically so far.

Hmmm...when you "encode" your own files, I'm guessing youre converting any file onto either h264 or mp4 without making any changes to the resst of the file...like size, bitrate, etc....

Words with Friends Update

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zynga.words
Now formatted for Honeycomb and/or tablets. It looks good but I think notifications are still messed up
Andy
Notifications or not, the new Words app looks fantastic.
It does look good! Lol how hard is it to get the notifications right, though?

No kidding. It is almost like they work the exact opposite of how they should. I always get a notification of my turn right after I play a word
I agree it does look good and depending on how often one uses chat, maybe even better than the iPad version.
Andy
I guess words with friends seems to not just like me in both tablet and phone world. I've always had weird experiences with it that keep me going back to Wordfeud even though it doesn't even support landscape.
Started a game yesterday after it took almost a day to find another player. S/He played a word then I did shortly after. Went back into game to check if the person has played, turns out it was my turn even though it showed that I just went with points and all. Checked back a few hours later and said it was my turn, but with the word and points gone. Tried to play a word but I couldn't since there was no button to play that word. Uninstalled.
Looks great!
Sigh. People ***** and moan when they took it off the market. Now they put a HC optimized version online.
Words with Friends (Update issue)
I see an update is available in the app itself. Though when I go to "My Apps" in my market it does not show any updates for Words with Friends. I have a Droid Incredible 2 by the way. I am a bit curious if there is something wrong with "My Apps" in the market. I haven't seen any updates for my apps in the last few weeks except for one app called, Battery Indicator. Is there a possible issue with my My Market and apps. I can't seem to even figure out how to do the update for Words W/ Friends (as of today 7/6/12). Would really appreciate any help! Thankyou!
The Honeycomb market is probably the buggiest thing on this tab, for me anyway. Clear your data and cache, and force stop the app through your app manager. See if that helps any.

Just Return My Nook Tablet due to Flash Video Streaming issue.

I picked up my pre-order Nook Tablet from local B&N store right after work today. But unfortunately after playing with it for a while i began noticing some flickering issue with flash streaming videos (most amazon video and youtube video i tried suffer from the same issue to some degree). I took the NT back to to B&N store and talked with a nook specialist, and we try the same video on 2 other demo NT unit on the counter, and they also have the problem.
We agree that this is most likely an Adobe flash player app issue, and can be taken care off with a software update, but there is no telling how long it will take for B&N to release a software fix. So for now i decided to return the NT before my 14 day refund period.
To see the problem yourself, play this following youtube video in 720p, you should notice the video flickering issue within the first 10 second.
http://youtu.be/5n4V3lGEyG4
The good news is that this issue doesn't affect people who does not use the NT as their streaming video player (i have amazon prime instance videos that i stream alot). I also tested MP4 video directly loaded on to the NT, and it doesn't have the same flicker issue.
So i just want to let you guys know about this issue. I still think the NT is a great upgrade for my NC, but i will be holding off on repurchasing it until either B&N work the issue out, or CM7 come to our device.
Just tested the video you posted, with no issue.
No flicker at all.
Telling you, it's something with that batch of Nooks.
No flicker here at all, but the audio seemed to be just off a tad from the movement in their lips.

Ive seen that in a lot of music videos, thats just the effect they use.. slowed down movements..
Hmmmm, I tried that link from My Nook Tablet and it just stuck at "Loading Video..." before it finally give me an error that said:
"Activity Browser (in application Browser) is not responding."
lol.
You have 14 days, and you returned it within 20 hours?
ok.
Hmm so far DarkDvr seem to be the only person that detected a hint of the flickering i am talking about. I guess I am just super sensitive to the video flickering issue, since that is what I use my NC, and the NT mostly for. There is hope that soon as CM7 hits the NT, this issue will be resolved.
Also hopefully the news about the NT having a locked bootloader is not true. I really like the form factor of the NC and NT, having the "n" button next to the screen make turning the screen on for the NC and NT really convenient. But without CM7, NT is no where as useful as a full tablet as it can be.

I am seeing voice sync issues with YouTube videos as well as Ted Talks. I copied over an MP4 file and that seems to work fine. The voice seems to trail about 3-4 seconds from the video.

So we might actually be dealing with 2 separate problem with the NT building in Flash player (10.3.186). Not a good sign, hopefully B&N will release a firmware upgrade very soon to update the flash player to 11.1, and fix the 1GB user storage space issue.

Yeah the storage is kinda dumb, definitely don't like that. But, easily fixed once we have root.
Regarding flash - seriously, I have no issues with flash at all. Maybe you guys are watching some weirdly buggy flash videos somewhere..
I watched like 6-7 20-40 minute vids on youtube in bed last night - all in 720p HD. I didn't see any flickering or sound problems, it was beautiful and as good as it possibly can be.

The interview video - yes, there was very minor flickering there, but if you didn't tell me, maybe I wouldn't even have noticed.
Besides, that was the ONLY flash video that I've seen this happen in, so I'm willing to blame the player or that particular video.
I saw it too.. only noticeable in one area of the screen.. near the top of the video.. not noticeable unless it is full screen.. and only on youtube..
netflix looks perfect..
Every flash video that I have watched (YouTube, FOX and ABC) has had about a 2 second delay on the voices. It did not happen on a video that I have uploaded. Like the rest of you I am hoping that an update will be released in the near future and I REALLY hope that development on this thing starts. I love the form factor and the specs, but the device is really disappointing from an out of the box approach.
Mobile flash is quite disappointing.. there's a reason adobe is dropping it.. I've yet to have a good mobile flash experience on any device..

m.youtube is working fine for me. No delay on any videos that I have seen.
Just fired up amazon instant video in the browser, and I'm definitely seeing some significant flickering, though only on the top part of the video.

[Q] What's your Tab experiance?

I just got a new Tab 10.1 for Christmas (actually got it the 23rd) and I have to say I am a bit disappointed with it.
I am on vacation for three weeks so I have been on the tab pretty much constantly since the 23rd trying to personalize it and get it working as I believe it should.
Now don't misinterpret my post here, I'm not bashing it, I love everything Android, I'm just trying to understand what others are experiencing and maybe learn what I can do to make mine better.... I've read and read on this forum and already done several tips, tricks and other things that I would have assumed would have improved the device but so far it's still the same.
My biggest disappointment is video..... My phone plays everything I go watch with no lag or trouble... but This Tab will only play You-Tube videos.
If I go to a website it either tells me I need a plug-in (which is already installed)
or it does nothing and just gives me a black box where the video would be...
I've tried a bunch of different browsers: FireFox, Opera, Dolphin, even the built in android browser and they all do it.
I've reinstalled flash several times and updated it and still I only have video in You tube.
I have the hardest time getting apps to D/L from the market...I keep getting a no connection pop up. I'm using several other devices at the same time and they dont drop connection constantly so it gotta be something with the Tab itself.
Another thing that is kinda bugging me is all the lag in the screen and with the keyboard.... Everything moves kinda choppy or just is very slow to respond.
I did manage to D/L another keyboard which seems to be better.
I thought if I rooted it and got the bloatware off it would improve it but I can't see any improvement overall and it is disappointing...
So guys, what am I doing wrong with this thing? I'd love to be able to use it to watch news, play music and reply to the text and emails I get on my cell with the larger interface but I can't see that happening with how she's running at the present.
My cell does all of the above flawlessly running Cyanogen 7 on 2.3.7 so I'm wondering if I just need to get away from the stock rom or something...I've done everything else I can think of.
What do you all think, Thanks
Hey I bought a 4g version yesterday BNIB for 350 cnd off kijiji to replace my hp touchpad running cyanogenmod 7. It is no where near half the machine my hp was its already back on kijiji looking for trades maybe a asus... im on official 3.2 and it lags like crazy, fc's all the time and ive had to hard restart twice. no ports excepts the proprietary, terrible speaker placement and sound (compared to my hp **** even my sgs2) + barely no dev for the 4g version I dont understand why anyone would want this thing. feel free to flame this post but give facts to back it.
I actually used to love this device but now that i just look at it...its pretty bad build quality and software...the software can be taken care of but COME ON SAMSUNG...USE METAL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

samsung is a pretty smart company..they can figure it out...i have faith..one day...they will use metal
I only have the Wi-Fi version and I payed $175 Cnd for it from a friend and I'm more then happy with it , never had problems with it playing videos on stock but I did find the sensitivity on stock was pretty bad but since I switched to task's rom it's much better there's an app to I believe to help with this issue I'm not sure of the name of it though. I've never ran into that browser plug in problem either.
As far as metal, really use metal? Personally I like the plastic it's lighter and I use the Pyroskins 360 case and never see the back of the case anyway, awesome case btw for the price. Overall for what I paid for this tab it's awesome but if I had to pay retail $499 Cdn for it my opinion may have been different.

Yea but Samsung is notorious for using thin plastic, Original Galaxy S phone, Galaxy S II ext all plastic.
I understand the plastic is not hard as a rock , its thin , its light and really is just good for keeping the dust out, protection is very minimal. Once it's in a case you add another layer of plastic on the back for protection anyway and you can no longer see what its made of and the case doubles as a stand , win win and problem solved.
I'm not sure why Samsung never uses an all aluminum case , could be cost, patent problems or could be heat issues, the tab does tend to get pretty warm sometimes I find in the upper left hand corner area and if your using metal that heat could spread.
I have the Verizon LTE version and can't live without it. Simply love this thing despite the issues people describe. On 3.2 with pershoots kernel, v6 supercharger and zipalign scripts lag is acceptable in ADW launcher. Its not iPad smooth but good enough for me as I wait for ice cream sandwich on this thing.
As for videos l love it, the screen is phenomenal. I don't do video streams in browsers much but instead download TV shows from eztv and watch them or I encode my bluray rips to 720p specific to this tab and play them on it. Only streams I watch regularly outside of YouTube are revision 3 shows which play fine for me in their app.
I'm satisfied with build quality on it, once its in my pyroskin 360 the nonmetal back is irrelevant to me. The tablet did show the oil slick problem early on but I just changed case and handling habits and they never returned.
What I love most is doing circles around my wifes ipad2 away from home when she is on 3g and I'm on LTE.
I understand peoples frustrations even if I don't share them. I knew what I was getting into though and where I wanted to go from the start (cm9) so I'm just enjoying the ride along the way.

I bought 2 of the 16gb wifi models for christmas for my wife and i and at first was completly upset and disappointed . When i opened mine it had the newtonring issue right out of the box and gave it a few days to see if it would go away but to no avail ... My wife was to use hers for buisness use and at first wouldent do what she wanted it to so was worthless .
This is my first experince with android and a samsung mobile (always had ios devices )product but after all the reading ,reviews i did i went with these tabs because everything was on the up till we started using them.
Any way got my tab replaced with a new one and since installed task 10 on both ,overclocked mine now they meet our needs and pretty happy with the purchase. With out being able to do this i would of returned both and went a different direction .

Multitouch borked? (And potentially shady VZW customer service)

So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.
