lol i smell and HTC lawsuit underway haha

yeah but you know, with a touchscreen only device, there is little left to imagination...

at least it has tri band 3g. htc really went awry in reducing the range of supported bands in their latest handsets

Actually, the acer has a cleaner square look to it...

I wonder if they have managed to gid rid of the annoying fingerprints issue, looks cleaner as galaxys said

yes, but it does have a proper stylus... the touchHD one gets pretty uncomfortable after a while.

Try and limit my time on stylus anyhow, don't use it to much to be honest unless and using file explorer or changing my registry

Thats the way to do it!!!!
Curiosity, what apps do you have installed for keyboard, file exporer etc?

I use the stylus to write quite a bit as the recognition is much faster than I can input using fingerkeyboard2 etc. For serious remote terminal, i use my bluetooth folding keyboard but that doesn't get much use. The stylus was the winning feature for me, something else over the iphone and others. I also use remote desktops and having a pointer is priceless.
For the most part though, i'll admit i never use the stylus with day to day messaging, phone calling etc ... but is sooo handy to have.

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??

I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

i searched before posting but didn't found any similar thread
so whats the problem ..... is it normal
it is not obvious but it is annoying to have it in a new device only
in normal use i don't see it but the only screen that i can see it when looking for battery usage as it gives the screen a plain gray color

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

[DEV/REQ] Grid Launcher

So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

I feel that this should be in themes
It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.

Boot animation from Imgur

So I was browsing Imgur and I found this cool gif.
http://imgur.com/gallery/javIBwt
As the caption says: There is no rotational movement in this picture. They are all travelling linearly.
In the comments there are different versions linked that could also make boot animations, but I made the main one an animation.
The size is 800x800 which I think looks good on the Nexus 5. Can't say the same for other devices.
COPY TO /system/media/bootanimation.zip - Don't try and flash it!
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r5fxh0vaiy0s9wr/bootanimation.zip
Edit: the preview on the Nexus 5 looks odd. Best viewed on PC

I think your choice is excellent, because it's not so simple, not so complex for other gifs.
Thanks for your converting!

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you all know about a free cool new app I've released on Play Store
DockClock allows you to turn your S5 (or S4) into a cool clock while it's docked or simply charging, and is specifically made for AMOLED screens which only light up the pixels they're using which creates an awesome effect, especially at night.
It also moves the clock randomly every 15 seconds to counter the renowned burn-in effect suffered by AMOLED screens.
Download it now from Play Store!

Wow. Much needed app for me.

Thanks for the feedback, I only have sub-1080 screen phones so was kind of hard guessing the X and Y for the locations of the clock. Easy to change, looks like it needs reducing a little on the X. Shall change this now, expect update in next couple hours.

Right that last update should have sorted it.
Lots of trial and error using an AVD in 1080p which nearly made the computer go into meltdown and was terminally slow, got there in the end
Enjoy.
