Where the Droid heads at?

Re: Where the Droid heads at?

My HTC Incredible has served me well, but the new Moto commercials have me itching for an upgrade.

Honestly? Wait till quarter 1 of 2012. The quad cores are coming.

Still rocking my Incredible... and I love it. I don't see needing much more for a phone. Luckily, my tech director at work is a droid-head, and we do everything droid. I have my personal Incredible(rooted, stock sense), my work Incredible(rooted, CM7), my personal nook color(rooted, phiremod 7.1), and my work Asus Transformer(rooted, prime). I like the Incredible 2, but the larger screen scares me in terms of battery life considering what my personal Incredible gets. The new Nexus that's coming out looks awesome, but I read somewhere that they're debating on shipping it with ICS. No ICS or unlocked bootloader, and I'm sticking with my Incredible until it breaks.

Got the LG 4GS. Kinda heavy, it might make a good weapon if thrown hard enough at someone.

Eh, the screen isn't as bad as the lte radio imo. My 4.3 does awesome one wifi but kills on 4g. I nice lineup though.

Thanks, mate.

Thanks, mate.

Thanks, McLabia. If it wasn't for my bosses android love affair, I wouldn't be so android fitted. He's worse... 3 tablets, 4 different phones(all in use). Yeah I hear you, that radio is a killer. I noticed with my Incredible that when I flashed a new radio, my battery life far outperformed my wife's stock Incredible(we're an android family). Hoping there will be plenty of development on the Inc2 to allow stuff like that.

By the way, love the avatar. The wife always makes fun of me(she's tiny), but I love me a big boned woman, too.

I got a Nook Color 6 months back, and loving it ever since. Been running CM7 on it. Finally tried Miui last week and was hugely disappointed.

I recently got a phone since the Nook is so big and lacking GPS etc. It's a Huawei u8150 (aka Tmobile Comet in the US). 90 aussie bucks, unlocked, runs vanilla android as stock. Slow as molasses and only a 2.8" display but I still love it. Plenty of devs working with it too. Running CM7 on it at the moment. I beefed it up with an extended battery, well worth it.

Favorite app: Tasker
2nd favorite app: Flext9 keyboard

 

[Ny2CaFuse]

For the cost and the development community behind it, the nook color is one of the best small form factor tablets, IMO. I will admit though that I am jealous of all the people that got the touchpad for $99 when HP had their head up their asses. They've already got a port of android on it. But if anyone wants to get a tablet and not spend more than $200-250, the nook color is a perfect starting point.

Tasker = Terrible. If youre on CM7, you do NOT need any type of task managers. Android does this on its own.

Ive got Flext9, but Ive yet to use it. I picked up Swiftkey X and have yet to look back. Its an awesome keyboard.

You're thinking of task killers. Tasker performs tasks based on conditions, such as enabling silent mode when you get to work, or turning on airplane mode when you're asleep, or a billion other things, all automatically. Best app ever.

Hmmm. I guess I just looked at the name. I set all that kinda stuff up manually. Lol.

no naughty talk on network, that's why there's throw away phones

wherever I go, there I am. Who needs GPS?

wonderful development in tablets these days, I've got a couple of devices with the Android Operating System, if that's what you mean by droid, on order

the Android OS combined with
SD flash memory card
USB port
IEEE 802.11b/g/n
3.5 mm headphone jack
MP3 with stereo sound
and a screen for displaying EPUB MPEG4 files

so ya got your video, stereo audio, removable storage, ability to connect to PC and wireless network, stand alone or plug in speakers, and ability to read print material like newspapers and books with the EPUB (which is a must, IMO) all in one portable device.

sorry if I'm off topic and this thread is just about phones.

Anything with the Android OS is on topic in this thread bud. No worries. What Tablet is that? Those are mostly standard options on the tablets now a days.

yea, the portable devices are really developing...

just got the nook simple touch in - they say its Android 2.1 but its really streamlined. No web browser and I can't get mine to connect to a secure network (can anybody?). It seems to only like public networks. A nice weight and feel to this unit and easy to operate. Very clean.

then I've got a cheapo pandigital novel arriving soon which is Android 2.2

you're correct McLab those are the basic features IMO, but of course features differ per manufacturer. The cheaper models tablets cut corners with display screens.

I like the new motorola clam tablet with dual 5" screens. Usually durable hardware from motorola. But that dell steak7 is really cool to and uses "gorilla glass"

informative thread McLab, thanks...just think what another ten years will bring!

Well, hopefully in another ten years, theres less of this:

http://androidsecuritytest.com/features/logs-and-services/loggers/carrieriq/carrieriq-part2/

And more greatness. I love the android ecosystem though. Its simply amazing in how far its come, and how much more room there is to grow. Id love to see some Growers that know code put up some great apps for growing and support.

As far as Gorilla Glass goes, I hate corning. There is nothing special about Gorilla Glass compared to any other strengthened glass. The new Nexus is shippin Sans Gorilla Glass, but seems from all accounts to have better protection.

I went to post in this thread yesterday, on my Vizio Tablet, and as usually happens here on ICMag, the fucking browser crashed! I need to learn more about this operating system, etc. Coming from a Linux environment, it's a little weird not having keystroke commands available to me.
