Seems so.I've had no reboots either side from accident holding the power button too long and it rebooting on me... lol

This is an example of people not understanding what issues are. I had to stop your video when I saw it.
The keyboard lags in the MESSAGING app. Not anywhere else. Any SMS client with any keyboard will have the lag. To repeat, the actual bug is "lags when typing text messages." So no, people aren't smoking crack. Just you and several others don't seem to understand the actual issue.
Not trying to dog you out, just misinformation is one of my pet peeves.

Lol.. you still don't get it.. switching the SMS app doesn't get rid of the lag. My point exactly.

Strange... I use handcent and better keyboard fully customized and I have no lag on this or stock keyboard in messaging or any app for that matter
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Well if using handcent fixes the lag, then I stand corrected. I used the default keyboard, gingerbread keyboard from the market, swype, default SMS app and go SMS. All combinations produced the lag after a bit of texting, not just just one sentence.
If you can type out a paragraph using handcent without it slowing down then I will shut up. And thank you for finding a workaround.

Not doubting what u have had happen with your phone but I would give handcent a shot..
I use gingerbread and better keyboard and haven't had any lag whatsoever except when I type 4page ttext it converts to mms but u can change that setting
usually I don't use handcent but I grew tired of go and just like trying different apps
I am curious to now if this helps u at all so please post your results

Galaxy on Fire 2... now available FREE

FINALLY
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2THD
Free to download.. only offers 1 solar system. You can buy the rest in app for 14.99.
one more time. FINALLY

Downloading!

so far.. the only problem I found is in the settings menu it looks like the graphics options are formated for a larger screen.. just that last quality slider which is at full by default.. and doesn't seem to slow down the g2x at all...
ARESOME

pretty cool game tho, nice graphics

Just finished my install. Got to the title screen and my phone completely froze up. I launched the game again after a battery pull and got into the menus. Brightness and graphic settings go off-screen. Has anybody else noticed the big black square at the start of the campaign? Looks like a bug or driver issue.
Sent from my G2x using XDA App

When I launch the game it freezes for a second or two but the music still plays. does it resume soon after for you? I just started a new campaign to check on the black box but didn't see anything. if you're on the stock rom, the screen shot still works. can you grab a shot of it?
EDIT: May i just say... this game is BEAUTIFUL!!!

How come charging to my tmobile bill isnt an option in in-app billing? I want to buy it but usually i just put it on my monthly bill.
Sent from my G2X

Beautiful game. Anyone able to change the brightness?

With it being in app billing I wonder if i would have to buy it on both my Xoom and G2X. Would be kinda a ****ty thing for them to do but why else do the in app bill and not a market purchase.

its done with google so i would think it would work but i asked on the forums to make sure

You can change the brightness using the in-game slider? I can move the slider around but the brightness does not change for me, strange.

OK --=SPOILER=--
By story you try to help the ferderation to convoy the transporter ship. they attack you by mistake cuz they thought you where a pirate. then you will be on a space station and some dude out of your past tells you bunch of stuff about the past. so you try to leave the station and it tells you to buy the full version, you can as well go onto the map and see all the solar systems but if you try to access any one of them..... $$$$$
Ohhh reason why no T mobile billing = German company declined the mobile accout billing cuz the have to wait for the payment to clear for 3 days while a credit card goes thru right away.

DL'ed it but not really feeling it. I uninstalled it but am wondering where the initial download data(530mb) is stored so I can delete that as well. Unless it gets deleted when the app is uninstalled. Thanks in advanced..

Whats with the resolution?

When i first came from my evo to the nexus the first thing i noticed was how the screen had a yellow tint. that was easy enough to solve but one thing that i cannot figure out is how to make dark images look better all my wallpapers look like they are blown way up and look like ****. Attached is an example of what im talking about has anyone had this problem, anyone know how to fix this?

Voodoo control

OP why didnt you just buy an iphone in the first place?

I'm not sure what the second problem you're having is, but if its what I think it is, download quickpic from market and use that to set your wallpapers. Lemme know if you see a difference.

Did you find the thread for the best voodoo settings. Following the settings provided there really helped with the banding on dark colors. Basically changed the contrast.

I looked at that thread but i cannot find a damn kernel that will let me edit all of those settings. all it will let me change is the color profiles. and i really dont want a kernel that uses deep idle.

Deep Idle isn't a problem since you can disable it.
Via script or NSTools from market...

Interesting find.

I'm not sure if anyone else knows about this, but if you hold your finger on the status bar until the notification tray starts to open and then stops opening, you can slide your finger back and forth on the status bar to adjust brightness without going into your settings. I just found this out and thought it was cool and worth sharing

I kept noticing it changing brightness randomly sometimes since I got it back in August, and I just figured it out, haha. Oh well, eitherway, I'm sure there are people out there who will be pleased to learn this trick

its a touchwiz 3 original feature from android 2.1 on thw galaxy s. but the aosp guys musta copied it.

Before people say it doesn't work, allow me to state the obvious. You have to turn off auto-contrast.

While the idea is nice, I find it a bit tedious. I'll go with a switch widget instead.

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !

Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

ha, i'm getting all kinds of help on this thread. thanks dude! Ok, I'll try another shot to get help on this thread. On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts. Kinda stupid if i'm in a txt conversation w/ someone.. screen keeps coming on.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..
