...if you know what I mean? Some apps work in tablet mode but I would like them to work in phone mode. For example FriendCaster Pro tries to squeeze loads of stuff into the screen but it looks fine on normal phone screens.
Cheers.

So, I've just picked up a Dell Streak 7 and so far I'm not overly impressed with the Froyo OS. If I keep it I'll likely look at one of the custom ROMs here. But I'd like to know if after flashing to a custom ROM if I'll be able to return to the factory setting? I'm asking because I'm within the store return policy so if I really don't like the tablet I can return it for a full refund.
Thanks in advance.
Everything you want to know is in the custom ROM threads and in this section. Happy reading!
Thanks, I think?
I guess I'm off to wade through them.
To my knowledge, there is no going back to the wifi only version after trying honeycomb. I installed DJ_Steves and successfully got it back to a TMobile 4G image.
You then just have to disable the Cell Standby process by renaming two of the key .apk files.
I used another tool to replace the TMobile boot animation after rooting it, and removed the TMobile apps.
Thanks for this.
I'm actually giving up on the Streak. The screen just isn't up to snuff.
I think I'm going to pick up a Nook Color and play around with it.
No problem man. This device works perfectly for my application but I cannot recommend it as a general use tablet based on the screen.
I use it docked in the center console of my car through a custom fabbed mount based on the multimedia dock. Screen looks good on my desk when docked.
I personally think that they mounted the panel upside-down. If you are in an application that will rotate, just flipping the thing in landscape mode 180 degrees mitigates all the screen issues with having it on a desk.
The cheaper dell monitors suffer the same color drop off from below in landscape mode but most folks don't notice because most of the monitors sit on the desk at or below eye level.
I would have paid $50 more for a 1280x800 IPS version @ 8" or less.
The screen is fine except for a single angle. As a Galaxy Tab and iPad user, I can say without reservation that the screen issue is blown out of proportion. It's a budget screen, sure, but it's still as good as almost any laptop/netbook screen. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 it isn't, but it's a far cry from bad.
Hello all!
I have been a proud user of Galaxy Note user for a bit over a week now, and I am trying to test (in real app-world) if all the sensors are working correctly to be able to bring change it at the store if something doesn't work, since I'm eager to root my device and I probably won't be able to return it then.
Yesterday I installed the game AirPenguin, which uses accelerometer controls, and it seems all messed up. Basically what happens is that as soon as the game starts, the bird goes flying way left, even though I am holding the phone still. What I found out after experimenting a bit was that the game itself is locked to portrait mode, but the accelerometer works as if it was in landscape. Meaning I have to hold it in landscape, and when I then tilt it left, the bird flies left in game-screen, but left is down from my point of view.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen such problem in this game or any other app, and if it is just a game bug or if there could be a problem with the accelerometer.
The stock accelerometer calibration works without a problem - when I tilt the phone left, the ball goes right, and when I tilt it right, it goes left (I suppose that's how it's supposed to be).
Thank you all in advance!
ME TOO
I'm facing the same problem on my Galaxy Note, I wonder if that happens also on other android devices or it's a galaxy note issue only?
i dont have the app, but is auto-rotate (that thing in the notification bar) turned off or on? try changing that to see if it fixes it?

Nexus and HTC Flyer, too any solutions?
Same problem with my Galaxy Tab 7+ P6200. I have encountered so many games in the google playstore with this problem. Too bad, i hope the app developers fix this problem for our devices.
afair there was a free app for comprehensive hardware testing, it was called Z-Device test, if stones interested, and google does not hello, I may try to find the link or apk later

Hi ,
I have my galaxy tab 8.9 for the last 3 weeks and I am really happy with it (bought from panamoz if anyone interested I can share my experience with that fake looking website ). I haven't root it yet and I am using ADW launcher ex
I have a little (sometimes massive) problem with auto rotate function and how it works. When I watch video I would like to be able to rotate the screen 360 degree but I could not manage to get the screen other way around in landscape mode. I can only watch video when samsung logo is normal, could not find a way to make it work when logo is upside down. This means I can't use my official book cover for watching videos during charging + I can't use my official card/usb readers for watching anything since I cant use a stand while they are attached.
I wonder if anyone have a solution for this after the root operation or installing unofficial ICS roms.
I have this option works like charm on my galaxy s2 but my galaxy tab (maybe all android honeycoms) really sucks when it comes to auto rotate implementations for certain operations.
I hope somebody can my day
Thanks all.
Hi.
I'm having serious problem after the installation of AAmirror on my tablet Samsung Galaxy note 10" ed.2014, model SM-P605.
I followed all the directions related to the root of the tablet, and then i installed carstream and AAmirror.
Now the situation is the following: when i connect my tablet to the usb socket in my car (Fiat Tipo), android auto starts regularly. Scrolling the menu on the car screen i can find the AAmirror icon. I tap on it, and the app starts, but with a downsized screen that makes impossible to recognize the various icons mirrored from the tablet screen.
But the worst is yet to come: the screen of the tablet itself now is downsized too! There are 2 side black bars and the screen is restricted at the centre of the tablet display. There is no way to come back to the normal state. I tried to reboot the tablet more and more times, but i can't seem to come back to the normal screen. Please help me. What can i do to restore the tablet?
The above situation doesn't occur when i start up carstream. Any suggestion?
Thank you very much.
Bye

I had a similar problem once and found that AAMirror had not been granted access in SuperSU. Just check that the # appears against AAMirro in SU. If not, click on it and it will be shown with a #. It should work correctly now. Good luck
Hi all,
As the battery of my S8 is almost dead I thought instead of throwing it out I'd give it a second life as some kind of webcam. I want it to take a photo every 2 mins and upload it to a server. That works perfectly, except that the phone won't take a photo when the screen is off - even when it's not locked. I tried something like Turn on screen - take photo -turn off screen but that worked neither. In fact, as I put it on a tripod on my sleeping room window facing outside, I don't want to be disturbed at night by the phone screen.
So my question is, how can I make the phone take a shot every 2 mins with the screen being off?
The phone is running Android 9 and not rooted, but if that's what is required I am fine with doing so. If there is another solution than Tasker, I am also happy to hear about it. (Note: I tried the IP camera app which is really cool, but the phone gets super hot, thus I consider it a fire hazard)
