First of all, Hello guys... I'm creating a new thread to address my questions because they are too many, As you can see, I'm selling my current smartphone (Already sold Lol) and I will buy an Android phone, so my choices are between Galaxy S2, and Xperia S, I would love to buy the Xperia S rather than Samsungs Smartphone, but Im dealing with the "yellowish pixels" "screen issues" thingy before I Buy it. Could you guys recommend the better choice, I've heard that the problem was solved long time ago, and screen issues were present on first batches. Btw: I'm buying the phone through Amazon, anything I should be careful of?.
2nd Problem: Good case, I mean... Otterbox Commuter style.
Get the XPS, Samsung has the same yellow tint issues. Before buying make sure your device is w16 or newer, then you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply mate, Like I said i have no access whatsoever, related to buying an specific batch or something like that. (Here I mean buying buying products released on date xx/xx/xxxx or something really specific). I'm buying the device through Amazon... and well I guess despite the screen issue I might be going for the XS. The Galaxy I'm talking about is the 9100G, Is it really true that it comes with 1.08ghz clocked (cpu) and a PowerVR SGX 540... as far as I know, adreno beats up the SGX and the Mali.. I'm i wrong??
Any Suggestions about a really good case? (amazon)

The 220 is about the same in terms of raw power, but some say the SGX540 performs better in games. I don't see any difference myself, the UI is smooth, the browser is fast and I don't really care about games too much.

Hehe, I didn't meant games, I meant .mkv content playback and h.264 vids, inside phones storage and stuff like that.. Well thank you again for your quick reply.. What about the case and buying it online? Any Seller you know or any suggestion? I'm really scared of getting a faulty phone...

Yes benchmarks wise the Adreno 220 in the Xperia S is more powerful than Mali 400 in GS2 and Note and of course the SGX is slower than Mali.

Plays all my anime just fine in 720p. Sometimes lag happens in 1080p, but very rarely. Don't know about the cases, I keep the phone in my backpack.
Hello,
I'm using Xperia S despite other people i will not recommend it. It has so much problems and i did not like Sony custommer service and concern.
If i had a chance i would have bought Samsung Galaxy S3.
And one more thing, if you are making supernormal phone calls, ayou should compare SAR leveles.
Xperia S 1.31 w/kg and it is over normal levels..
I like the size of the SXS less, because using it with one hand is not easy , But well all these phones with these specs are big (also screen)
The closest thing to a otterbox case i have seen would be this one probably (2 layers):

Honestly it might be one of the best cases I have ever had. It fits great, protects awesome and I can still access eveything.
Not the worst case to take off all the time, and I find it pretty easy to do so.
Those tpc sides wrap nice and are really grippy.

I dont know why, but GSMArena has changed the SAR value (EU, head) from 1,30 to 0,78W/Kg!
So did the official SONY SAR value info here!!!

I mean, it's got an Nvidia Tegra 2 in there, right? That has got to count for something? I'm sick of s-s-stuttery framerate on my Nexus One when playing Dungeon Defenders, and the game was practically made to showcase the Tegra 2. So, how does the Folio 100 deal with games in general, and Dungeon Defenders in particular, with or without a custom ROM (which I'm going to flash as soon as I unbox it, if I do end up buying the Folio)?
After CES2011 it will be doing fine, but most HD games out from gameloft are made for the snapdragon cpu, which is not 100% compatible with tegra2.
so the binaries compiles inside the games app's are not working and crash..
some older gameloft games and quite alot market games works fine..
like PocketLegends, but sadly not all the new gameloft updates..
facts, but maybe not good news for gamblers on folio.. but im sure gameloft will fix it when the new tegra2 tablets arrive.

No, no. Dungeon Defenders is pretty much born for the Tegra 2 (not made by Gameloft either) and it's mostly that I'm interested in--it uses Unreal Engine and all. If I want to play Gameloft's much uglier games, I can do it on my Nexus.

Beautiful, exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks! I assume you don't need to scale the graphics setting down, either?
Now that that's out of the way, how does it perform as an e-reader? I'm not even sure what kind of panel it's got--LCD, AMOLED? (I'm guessing LCD, since Samsung doesn't make anything bigger than 7 inches available yet.) It's weird how scarce information on the tablet is considering it's the first Android tablet with a Tegra 2 chip, and major tech sites don't seem to want to review it.

I havn't scaled anything up or down, I haven't even opened the settings menu. Just like you i actually was interested in the unreal engine. (i don't like the game so... )
The folio has a crappy '() lcd screen with terrible viewing angles. It is captative, so it responds as it should response, really good. Colors are good to, but the viewing angles...
It is really easy for me to advice you. If you don't care about the screen go and buy the folio, development is already going on and other tablet manufacturers will use the same chipset for now, so we won't miss any special software on the folio.
If you care about the screen and have a couple months patience, than wait and buy the LG/motorolla/acer/... tablet that will be presented on the ces Those will propably be 99% identic to the folio (in hardware)
Ups, didnt know the game :-;

Aw, shame. Yeah, I do care about screens--it's part of what I love about my N1, whose AMOLED is a considerable step up from the LCD of yesteryear. Thanks for all the feedback!

probably a bit late, but here's a screenshot from the folio running dungeon defenders. graphics are pretty smooth, with framerates around 25-30.
i just want to get an idea of what others think of that display resolution. I am used to iphones retina display so to me it looks aot worse... writing isnt clear..just looks yucky.. but what do others think?
480x800 is a resolution not pixels. Anyway, to me it doesn't matter at all due to the ppi increase and the larger screen size.
ppi is still like 100 less then iphones... the larger screen size means jack if resolution is crap..true?

It's all we have for now. The truth is that the graphics are fuzzier then on iPhone 4, but nothing you can do about it.

It depends on what you want from your phone. I actually like the AMOLED display and larger screen, and don't care for resolution as much. Every product has it's audience.

+1. The iPhone's screen is a bit sharper when viewing text, but the colors that the GSII produce are unlike any other non-Samsung device. Super vibrant, perfect screen size (for me), and battery-saving.

Certain flash access to sites, no conversion for media content, plays all .mkv format with subtitle support on the fly. Stuff like that isn't really capable on an iphone because it lacks support or just requires more time input to make it work, by tedious conversions.
what about graphics chip? is it much worse noticable compared 2 the iphone 4s..in ur opinion??
No idea since I never use my phone as a gaming device because I carry a 3DS with me.

erm....win what?
seems like this guy is just trying to stir up ****.....who goes into a forum for a particular product and asks the users if their product is crappier than another product
im not trying 2 stir nothing up... i just think iphones win in overall performance and simplicity
The iphone wins in regards to sharpness and gaming performance. But here's the thing. Give it 1-2 yrs before that gpu is finally put to use (by the time 2 yrs cone you'll be on your next phone, so whooptydoo) . So in other words, whatever game or not comes out right now for the iphone, the sgs 2 can more than handle them. The sgs 2 of course wins in customizability, no contest is that.
$1 gets you a reply
you started 3 posts about the same thing, obviously you're trying to stir ****. who cares if u think the iphone wins blah blah

lol sorry but if you want a high quality tablet, this is not for you.. this is a great tablet to jump into the tablet game because of the low-cost but comeon now... its not that powerful..
Hahaha these little crap tablets give Android a bad name! They're saturating the market with low-price, low functionality tablets that virtually NO ONE wants. When it comes to cheap tablets I'm pretty sure the Fire and the Nook will be king (but mostly the Fire), so there's really no reason to have these things. They give ifans a reason to bash Android IMO.
This actually looks better than the Fire to me. I might be a buyer for my 7 year old...Why not? It doesn't look terrible. Wonder if it is completely 100% lead-free? lol
I'm cool with this. Cheaper tablets give us more options. There are people who basically just want a tablet to read ebooks and play the occasional angry birds. That's what's Android all about. Having options.
LOL, looks like asus slacked for too long and got beat by some cheap china tablet company...
You snooze, U loose!
Ohwell, atleast when the prime finally does come out it will have ICS hopefully right around the corner, and hopefully it will make the diffrence we all been looking for.
That chinglish makes my head ache, coming from a Chinese guy.
Lol, Asus is pissed already, but this will kick it
But unfortunatly there are no measurments on the page.
It looks pretty thick.
So what are the dimensions, how much does it weight?
Also it says it is already sold out when I click to order it.

I don't see that it's selling today, I see it's claiming to be the 1st ICS tablet. No different than Asus Prime has been claiming. The race is on to who will be the first to actually be the first to deliver one to a customer
well, it isn't the first Craplet device..
Different options for different budgets. That's not such a bad thing. But keep in mind this $100 tablet comes with a $60 shipping charge that makes it not so great afterall.

Obviously we are all Android lovers right?
But as I was skimming around one of the general Android forums, I came upon a thread that was talking about something called "Bootdroid." Assuming that this is not fake, Bootdroid allows you to dual boot Android and iOS 5.
I'm going to be honest, being able to boot into iOS 5 on an Android device seems pretty interesting to me. Booting into (a jailbroken) iOS also means being able to use iOS apps that aren't found in the Play Store. Also, buying those expensive iOS devices won't be a problem because you would now be able to take a cheaper Android device, such as the O1, and boot iOS on it.
Probably the only reason why I would choose iOS over Android (other than the apps) is because of how Android lags due to how it renders the UI:
https://plus.google.com/100838276097451809262/posts/VDkV9XaJRGS
I would guess that our phone's hardware can probably run iOS smoothly given the specs of an iPhone. While the iPhone has a stronger CPU (1GHz Cortex-A9 compared to our 600Mhz ARM11) and a stronger GPU, both the iPhone and the O1 have 512 MB RAM. Also, on the project page, it says that iOS works well on the Motorola Droid, which has a 600Mhz CPU and 256MB RAM.
What's cool about this Bootdroid is that according to the blogspot below:
Android devices that have screen resolutions that are lower than 960x640, or if you can divide the resolution 960x640 by an integer to equal your current devices resolution, then it will likely be more compatible with the iOS 5 firmware and the pixels will be less diluted.

Of course, if Bootdroid is fake, this would all just be wishful thinking. But it seems pretty legit to me:

https://github.com/Peter42/BootDroid
http://bootdroid.blogspot.com/
What are your thoughts?
Interesting, this would actually benefit us because of the many things in iOS, but then again, Android is awesome. I hope this isn't a fake like the other ones i've seen because it would be pretty sweet to have Android and iOS dual-boot
Looks really cool.... but our O1 resolution is not in proportion to 960x640

Actually it is
Isn't our phone 480x320? We can divide 960x640 by 2 to get the resolution of the O1.
This is one of those few times where having a smaller resolution comes in handy. Good luck to those who have 480x800

oh OK...I thought the other way...I thought that the proportion between length and width should be the same... like 480 is 1.33 times of 320 but the same is not the case with 960x640..
and what about phones with hd display...

Well luckily for us, our phone's resolution is proportional to that of the iPhone. For higher-end phones with a greater resolution (such as 480x800), it's going to be hard to resize everything

However, iPhone 2G and 3G have HVGA display so iOS running on the O1 doesn't seem impossible. Just hope that they based it on iOS 2/3/4 and not 5.
But the HVGA variants (screens have 480×320 pixels (3:2 aspect ratio), 480×360 pixels (4:3 aspect ratio), 480×272 (~16:9 aspect ratio) or 640×240 pixels (8:3 aspect ratio)) doesn't include 640x960.
But I'd love to get iOS on my phone especially because of uber smooth scrolling.
Now it says that he's meeting with his lawyer and the website should be running normally in the next few days
Guys you have been talking about resolutions and things. But i think it should be least of our worries . being the Orwellian philosophy that apple follows, will it be possible to hack and slash it up to our needs. of course its our wet dream but the hardware support, kernels all these things- it Wiil definitely be some time before the greatest devs figure it all out.
I'm sincerely not saying this in derogatory sense, just giving you guys some perspectives.

So guys, I would like to buy my first tablet, and i'm indecised between shield k1 and Nexus 9, I was also thinking about the galaxy tab s2 9.7 but it's too pricey for what it offers IMHO. I'll use the tab mainly for media consumption (heavy games, browsing, movies, emails).
From I first started researching infos about the Nexus 9 it's immediatly appeared all the frequent issues that comes with this device (Light bleed and unoptimized performance) but all these things were related to the Lollipop version of android, and now with the Marshmallow/N version seems better, so this is my question: it's still worth to buy this device? Does the performance are really fixed now or there still many cases of lag/crashes (as appear to me)?
I really like "+1 inch size" than the shield but seems this device is just heavily compromised (as performace), and all these things are leading me to buy the Shield K1. As a final note, I like to use stock android version, and seems that with the Nexus 9 the real game change comes when you install a new ROM, do you confirm this?
Any input will be appreciated, so don't be afraid

Personally, as much as I adore my n9, I'd probably go k1. I prefer the size of the n9, the 4:3, great devs, and in hand feel. Other than that though, Google dropped the ball with Vulcan, and nVidia has been going great with updates.
I'm also interested in Lenovos new tablets.
@jimmix93 do yourself a favor and get a pixel c. It is worth the 100-150 dollars extra imo.

TBH, i'm in love with google pixel C, but I can only find it on Ebay on a very high price, not lower than 650 $, so that's why I choosed these two tablets, espcially the K1 for it's price.

Mee too i'm interested, but I don't think they will be at same level (as raw power) as K1 or Nexus 9. We'll see
I got mine off swapa for $200 a few months ago. personally I think it's still a relevant device. Turning encryption off, and a kernel with 2amp charging really helps. It takes out the frustration. Most complaints about the device come down to speed and charging.
Not over clocked my AnTuTu benchmark awhile ago on pre-released 7 was 101k. Remix 3 was around 95. On official N (no encryption, oc) getting 107k. My point is behind the benchmarks is it's keeping up with the devices still out there, and they're the only way to show over the Internet that it doesn't feel slow.

Personally I have the N9, my son the Nvidia, so I can compare...
When you want to stay 'standard' (no tweaking / custom ROM/Kernel) , buy the Shield. Standard out of the box working very well.
When you are not afraid to root, tweak en flash.... Buy the N9. Out of the box I was not satisfied about the snappiness and use custom kernels to fullfil it.
Suc6 choosing ?
