Alright, in ICS, how do I turn off the data option completely when I know that I am in roaming etc? Or when I think my data consumption would go over the limit?

which model number doesn't have GPS? pretty sure all the Galaxy Tab model spec sheets i saw mentioned GPS, the 10.1 for sure lists it.
check under Data Usage
Incorrect. I had a Wi-Fi Galaxy tab 10.1 and it had GPS.

even the Galaxy S Wifi PMP units have GPS, from the 3.6 on up.
The quality of the GPS on the embedded systems are pretty shitty, shitty enough that companies turn them off and add separate modules if needed.
I think Asus tried to skirt by on the embedded gps and fell flat on their face.

Thank you.
So, if I set the data to turn off, will 3G still be active but not just consume data or will that be turned off as well? So I could save some battery.
i think so. any future sony phone announced should be launching with ics.

blurry leak of the upcoming sony flagship hayabusa lt29i now called the Xperia GX
should be released this july.
rumored specs i got from another forum:
-roughly 7mm thick
-ICS
-1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU
-4.55" 720 x 1280
-1gb ram
-16gb internal memory
-13MP camera
-1700 mAh battery
-lte
-nfc
So it's Sony's GNex, but with a much much better camera and processor.
*twinge of buyer's remorse*
No! Galaxy Nexus is the best! Sony crap can go sit in the corner!
Really glad it has NFC though. I really want that to catch on.

i mean, they aren't going to be as good as a standalone GPS device or more expensive separate module, but they work well enough. Asus' problem was they had an all metal case shielding the GPS in the Prime, the GPS worked fine in the original Transformer.
i've never actually turned it off, but i assume it would be turned off and not just on but blocking data usage as that would be ridiculous... but stranger things have happened before!
it's completely off and battery will suddenly last three to four days or so. Partly of course because you don't turn on the screen as much as with data on.

I actually was talking about the original Galaxy Tab 7 inch. I googled around and I couldn't find a single forum poster who owned the wifi version. Obvious nobody brought it since both ATT and Spring were dumping their 3G versions for 199.
I completed forgot the 10.1 so I admit I was wrong.
Looks like Google Play Movies is now available in Australia!
Sony Tablet S Ice Cream Sandwich update now available

Why is that guy being choked by a snake?So who here is a techy mature?
Maybe once you grow up a little you will understand what techy mature actually means, and be as techy and mature as I am.
::::Looks a Sync setting on his Tuna:::
It's there..and actually sycing/synced! And yes, I have updated the app.
Edit...OK on the Sync setting is there. But within the "Peoples" App you can't sync it.
I'm beginning to think that Twitter, just like Facebook, seem threaten by Google+.
Why the fear? Beside for anyone actually using the network...it's a dead town...right?
Google opted to not renew their twitter integration in search. Then they launched G+ a month later and staring using hashtags on there.

I thought Google said it was Twitter who decided not to renew.
Sucks, I kinda liked that integration; at-least better than this Search Plus Your World garbage.
Yea you're right. It was twitter that didn't want to renew.
The first time I remember using it was for Obama's osama announcement. I was like wtf CNN...
Microsoft renewed their Twitter deal for Bing, so I'm pretty sure it was Google that turned them down. It supposedly cost 30 million a year, perhaps they thought it wouldn't be worth it when they were launching their own social network.
Of course, no one uses Google+ so it's far less useful than the previous real time search.
just noticed this too! Has anybody actually used it before?
I can't wait for the days when google can successfully pull off a day 1 international rollout for its products.
EDIT: $5.99 for a rental! Bit Steep?

Man, Sony continues to hit it out of the park with the designs of their recent phones.
There's an entire site just for GAF bans?! When did this happen?

and the thread was shutdown and banned from posting I believe. Walk carefully, my friends...
The fuck. I still don't know why Wario was banned.
And I haven't been banned once so obviously I am not cool enough.

Should anybody care? It doesn't look like there's going to be anything game-changing about the hardware.
It's running Windows 8.
Serious question, how is this design out of the park? It's a big black rectangle that looks almost exactly like my AT&T Galaxy S2.

Can't speak for the Ion, and I'm gonna sound totally pretentious but it's the smaller details - there's something really slick and minimal about the Xperia S. No rounded corners, that bar across the bottom which is transparent and lights up really softly, the matte finish and how the screen seems to disappear into the casing when it's off. I fucking love this phone. Switched from my iphone 4 (which I loved - the bf is getting that one) but the geek in me is loving Android. It's far less clunky than I've been led to believe - it's not even ICS yet either
I like the simple design. Yes, it's a black rectangle, but it's damn fine looking black rectangle. No gaudy silver/chrome trimmings or contrasting colors. I actually like the fact that the Ion is one solid color (excluding the lettering and logos).
