Title has to be .. not very cool > http://www.youku.com/ videos
Waaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated... doesn't look to be the fastest navigation experience either...
But it's nice to see what the N1 can do.
I loved the photo album.
I think this could be a really cool interface.
Not the most practical, but it sure looks pretty. I'm surprised it doesn't lag like a snail crawling through molasses. Maybe they overclocked their N1 unit, or else they've got very, very competent coders.
Didn't like that at all. Seems overly complicated and doesn't really give you much in the way of a preview on the videos. It would be better if there was a single frame of the video showing instead of the pop-up when the user scrolls along the spotlights. The 3D cube looks very annoying - I'd prefer that TATHome UI, it looks much slicker.
Too much BS on that interface. More like it was designed by a marketing guy catering to a demographics comprised of a bunch of 8 year olds. Completely devoid of elegance and simplicity. Eye candy BS.

Bingo!
They want to show off, so why not. Nothing wrong with the odd bit of eye candy now and then.
i kinda like the UI...very nice
Looks good.
I just wanna post how much I love this phone... yes its got minor issues as all phones will but its great..
I wanted to show some love for the vibrant and post some things I love about it.. This is a no hate just love thread...
I LOVE the super amoled screen, I've stopped people in there tracks by showing them avatar on it...
I love the awesome gpu that handles games flawlessly. Games like Nova.... Awesome. .....
And I also love the HD video it records... very nice...
SO, what do you love about your vibrant?
Agreed. There is a download if the free demo in the Incredible thread. That game looks AMAZING on the Vibrant!
Here is another link from the X forums. Check below in this thread for a mirror download link. This is nit the one I used this morning, but should work the same I think.

Ive been a HUGE supporter of the G1 since the day it came out. I rooted it, changed this and that and in the end I rooted the Vibrant only to remove some of the stock apps.
As it sits I have no need/desire to change anything else. It simply rocks.
Internal Memory - Enough no need to Apps2SD
Video Playback - Common it plays Divx/Xvid as is
Screen - Don't even get me started
Battery - Lasts the entire day
Speed - Zooom, Zooom
TouchWiz, I personally like it now. I know two people with Droids and they both think the way it works is slick and one even wants it on his phone. Sure its kinda iPhoneish, but who cares. My car is carish too like the others on the road. LOL
3.5mm Jack..... woooooohooooo I have it plugged into my home audio and its shaking the house with my sub. I mean common carry tunes around with you and use a regular jack opposed to some adapter.
Its light and fits in my pocket just great. Had it out yesterday and somebody asked is that an iphone and I simply replied "The iPhone wishes it was this phone."
Haha. That last line got a pretty god chuckle from me.
I love the screen, I love the performance, I love the style, heck I even love TouchWiz3.0. Having the 3.5mm headphone jack built-in and lock-screen music controls are just icing on the delicious Vibrant cake.

Yeah I noticed that for the first time today. I thought it was a glitch at first until I realized it was half the CD I was listening to, and was really happy to see it pull down.
This is definitely the most impressive phone ive ever seen.

So, because there's been a forum lull (in my opinion) lets talk, what is the best way to stick it to ipad and ipad 2 owners who don't have xooms?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I wouldn't own an iPad but IMHO, there isn't an Android tablet that just blows it out of the water. I'm sure I'll get blasted for not being a die-hard fanboi but honestly, I can see why the iPad is very appealing to the average consumer that isn't into the hacking/modding scene.
With that being said, these are the things that keep me loyal to Android that iOS can't/won't offer:
Google and Manufacturer support of the development communicating (AOSP, "fastboot oem unlock", etc)
True multi-tasking
Everything is OTA, no desktop software
Deep Google integration (Gmail, Gtalk, Docs, Books, Music, etc)
Tethering without rooting
Show them literally any widget, theme or customization... And then blow their minds with that whole sd card thing (they won't know what it is at first)
Well I whip out my 1TB HDD and OTG and play a movie from my HDD. I could also hook up my PS3, N64, Xbox controller and play emulators. If we're outside I just whip out my BT OBD11 sensor and Torque app to troubleshoot my car.
I need to figure out why mine lags like a bastard every time I attempt to show it off to someone, but will be buttery smooth when I'm using it by myself.
I sit there customizing widgets while pulling live data from others. They look and say, " what's that? " Android Xoom... Buddy. Then they say how are you online? I pull out the old trusty EVO with Cyanogenmod and say " It goes where I go " thanks to Android. They usually have this look of awe. Inside I have this feeling of satisfaction.

Maybe you should overclock. Yeah that happened to me once before but they were still impressed by its capabilities.
Ipad/Ipad 2 has it's place as many consumers want functionality right out of the box with little tweaking. The interface is very user friendly and there are a slew of accessories for it. I prefer Android tablets for customization and the fact that if we were just going on specs alone it is a more capable machine. I wish we had more photo apps though.
I can't be bothered to overclock and so forth, as I said it works fine when I'm using it. But for instance, when I needed to review a PDF in the bank the entire thing ground to a halt and sat there mocking me while the teller ranted on about young people and paper.
As for the launcher, I do like the stock one and so far the replacements designed for phones are somewhat lacking compared to it.

You should consider ADW ex...it's made for tablets and gives you up to seven screens, lots of customization and it's really smooth.
I constantly show myself my Xoom to impress myself.
Then I whip out my iPad2 while my Xoom is choking on some random process.
Then I show myself my Xoom again.
Then I put them both down and play with a Touchpad.
I have yet to find an iPad owner who's actually excited by what I have to a show them.
Apple product users enjoy exactly how those things are marketed. They were sold on them before they were even made.

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
i agree that ipad owners are happy with their device... they also like the smell of their own behind (similar to the south park ep where they use hybrids) this is because of their continual claim that it is the best no matter the pitfalls... android is definitely not the bug free product however the customization and development and the openness on the whole model of google makes you place a little more trust... even if they may screw you to your face, apple screws you behind your back... so to speak
How about an embedded flash video?

I've owned the Note for about one and a half day now, and thought I'd share my opinions which can be useful for those looking to get this phone. Feel free to ask me any questions, and if you want me to try some game(paid or free) I'll give it a shot as long as the game is worth it. I love buying games, bought like 5 new ones today .
I gotta say, I knew this was gonna be big but it turned out to be bigger than I ever imagined. It really cannot be used with a single hand without the risk of dropping it, but it feels great using it with two hands. I love it's big screen and it has a good amount of real estate for all kinds of app needs. It definitely fits comfortably in my pocket. The screen quality is great, the pixel density is enough for me to not notice any pixels and the color reproduction is great.
I was kind of disappointing with the build quality of Galaxy S, but this feels quite better. The metal casing on the edges and the rubbery back case feels really good and solid in hands, the weight is about right as well.
The S-Pen is a nice addition and it's quite accurate. Even the handwriting recognition is actually useful, it's able to recognize my handwriting fairly accurately with enough speed to be a suitable alternative for typing in. The quick memo and gestures make for a nice addition, I suck at drawing but my sister could draw a decent scenery out of it. So it's a fun addition. Other S Choice apps use the pen quite nicely and the ability to draw on screenshots and pictures is a very fun and useful addition.
I gotta say, it's not all lagless. But the lag isn't that annoying, most of the time it's during transitions. Browser is smooth on most of the websites but does redraw quite frequently on big websites, although it redraws quick. I feel that this is due to not taking advantage of the hardware properly and mostly due to software, the case which is with most Samsung's phones until they release fixes for it so I'm not too worried about that.
The hardware is amazing, it sports one of the(if not the) fastest SoC in Android world and it shows when gaming. Not only did any game I threw at it ran fine, even Tegra HD games running through Chainfire 3D looked and ran buttery smooth. Games like Shadowgun, Dungeon Defenders, Galaxy On Fire 2 THD, Samurai 2 THD had no problems.
The camera seems quite great, it is more or less like the SGS2, the video recording is quite good as well. For anyone who's curious, 1080p at superfine records at 18mbps. GPS seems good as well although I haven't tried it while driving, it did fix awfully fast(I had a fix before Maps completed the transition and was opened).
I'll keep updating this thread with new findings/experiences. I still have to try GPS properly, office use, continuous high end gaming, observe battery life, and other stuff I'm missing.
UPDATE :
Game's MSAA with Chainfire 3D comparison
Okay, you can find pictures of Shadowgun and Samurai II : Vengeance(Both THD) in my flickr set here. As the filename suggests, auto is set to automatic MSAA, 4x is 4xMSAA and 16x is 16xMSAA. I can't really see noticible improvement in both the games as the PPI is quite a lot, but I guess on tablets it can make a good difference. While 4xMSAA was not being taxing, 16xMSAA made Shadowgun and Samurai II lag quite a lot. Let me know if you guys want any more game's comparisons.
My take on Note's Audio
I tested audio with 320kbps MP3s and a pair of decent ~80$ earbuds, I'm no audiophile but I love an occasional song or so. I'd say that Note can be a decent daily MP3 player, but it's nothing out of the ordinary, the Galaxy S sounds a bit better in my opinion with same MP3 and earbuds but it's nothing earth shattering. All in all, it's a fairly nice package and unless you're very serious about top notch audio it shouldn't cause any problems.
Some S-Note demos
Thought these can be beneficial for those who are looking to buy Note for it's notemaking capabilities. Sorry for my absolutely crappy handwriting, plus I'm not very used to writing on the note.
You can view it here
I'm big on games to, how does the extra resolution look compared to the older galaxy?
Quite great, it feels much better. Plus Note is able to handle some very high end games that don't work properly on Galaxy S. Presuming the games scale well, I had some that didn't and that kinda sucked.
Could you download Zynga Poker from the market & trill me off all buttons look normal....screen scaling. I used to own a Dell Streak & some apps didn't work will with the big screen.
I'm quite interested in this device, however there are 2 major points for me, which will make me pass on this one.
1. How is that useful as a real note taking. I know I can draw stuff with it but let's say I've got to copy a half of A4 page containing text and some schematics.
Now I know it would be impossible to fit it on one s-memo page, so is there anything to create additional page and link/organize it? I don't want to look for the necessary contents longer than necessary.
2. Is it enough to serve as a MP3 player despite having infamous Yamaha DAC? I'm not audiophile and I don't want to be one, however I like to listen to music from time to time.

1. It takes some getting used to, there is a bit of delay when the software actually recognizes your stroke which can be a bit annoying plus it takes a bit of practice to avoid hitting the back button. But it's accurate enough to serve as a real notepad. You can create additional pages from within the memo and it groups them together as a pile. Although they are not organizable from what I could tell. Evernote comes free with this(I think) and it may have more advanced note making capabilities.
2. From what I could tell, it's sound quality is good enough even in the loudspeaker. I'm no audiophile and I can't be one but it sounded decent enough for everyday usage.
The sound quality with the earbuds,how do you think is it?there is a thread here on this forum which doesnt seem to like it.Thats the only thing which is stoping me from getting it.
I should mention that my Galaxy tab 10.1 has a great sound quality so I dont know why shouldnt this as well.

Are you rooted? does 4xMSAA or 16xMSAA work on Chainfire 3d?
Yes I'm rooted and it seems to work.
Would u be so kind to post screenshots of gaming with normal, 4xMSAA, and 16xMSAA.. Like so http://www.jayceooi.com/tag/opengl/
Okay, I'll try to do that tomorrow.
I would like to ask u few questions if u dont mind : p and im sorry if some of them been asked before but im just a skeptic guy haha
1// Hows the Sound of the phone? is it Loud? Clear? Crispy/No Noise? and how bout using the headphones? u could say im an audiophile and music is a big part of my life so it matters alot to me
2// Hows The Camera? is it Better than S2 ? or at least like S2? hows the video too? The Voice Recorder? and does that lag happen alot? did it bother u for any moment? Oh and Hows the Wifi signal/ Workin on it?
Thanks!
and what about battery life?, is it true what engadget writes of 9 hours playing video??????? (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/28/samsung-galaxy-note-review/)

You have to root your phone first, then install chainfire 3d on your phone. If you need more information look it up on google.
Disclaimer! Rooting your phone will void your warranty.
Note got the same sound hardware like a SGSII.
So the sound is perfect....but all Samsungs got bad headphones! !!!! U need to change it for sure...
I got senheiser cx55 and it gives me perfect sound.

A geek wants to buy her daughter her first android phone as a surprise gift, I am not a teenager anymore so I disqualified myself as an objective advisor.
I thought of making the question here, I know there are many teenagers playing around with their PLAYs here, and I know this is the right place to ask and take advice from other teenagers. Her preferred games are Zelda, Mario Bros, Zuma and that kind of games
ACTIVE or PLAY ??
PLAY pros and cons:
Playstation certified, Front camera for video chat (do you really use it a lot?), Physical gamepad
ACTIVE pros and cons:
More recent model, no front camera, no PS certified (yet), Water resistant and sturdy construction
I appreciate your oppinions
Well if she likes to play games then get the play for sure. As a teenager it is probably one of the best phones I have ever owned.
I use my plays camera with skype more than the one on my pc
Sent from my Xperia Play
Well, if your daughter likes to play mobile games, then the PLAY it is. With buying the Active you can be sure that it won't break easily.

ughhhhh was that even relavent?
Yes because sometimes my opinion is none of the above. And that isnt play hate. Iphone is very popular with the ladies
She will appreciate being able to facetime with her friends because trust me, they dont have plays.
if she's a heavy gamer, and likes emulator gaming (snes, gba, ecc) that has got their share of Mario and Zelda, then the xplay is the way to go, but be careful: the xperia play may be perfect for gaming, and that's one point in favor to "teenagers", but at the same time it has a big downside for that kind of person: it's bulky, and while most of the time it's a matter of opinion and tastes, i'd say that 90% of the world's population thinks this phone is definetly not beautiful. I'd go as far as to say it's quite ugly.
Maybe for a teenager girl that's a big point of interest, while i myself don't give two flying craps about it
But the active is a good piece of phone too. You said "it's a most recent model" but it has got the same exact hardware as the play, but that's not the point: dude i've seen videos on youtube made by a fellow italian like me in which he absolutely tries to destroy the xperia active without even scratching it, throwing it in puddles, trying to scratch its screen with screwdrivers, RUNNING OVER IT with a god forsaken car!!!
I really envy xperia active users. THey can experience their phones without that constant, persistent fear that gets to all of us when we take our 500 euro phone out of our pockets. Without fearing to scratch the screen with keys in their pockets, without fearing to drop it, without fearing to get it wet...

She is one of the guys, get a play
She is disrespectful of her belongings, get an active
Only you know what one your daughter is

The Xperia Play can do anything she would use an android for, I would say if she likes games then get her a Play, if she does not play games then she wont utilize the gaming controls, if thats the case, get her the Active.
Who said the Play looks ugly ? I've gotta say it looks really nice especially in white. It may be bulky but that's about it, regarding looks I think it looks very good !
It's got such a lovely curve at the back which makes it so nice to hold. Fits perfectly in my hand
