Did I state they were not miles ahead? Calling a wifi issue which stems from the last generation ipad not a major issue is something foolish. It was brushed off as a software related issue that was never fixed as has carried over into the second generation iPad. Next everyone tears the Nexus s for not reconnecting to 3g without a reboot and everyone is screaming bloody murder in the Nexus s forums and it gets flammed everywhere for it, but you call it not a major issue on an ipad 2?

Obviously you missed my early response that I have in fact purchased an iPad along with several other Apple products ovet the past 6 years (and in fact to add to that we both had 80gb ipod videos), for my girlfriend and in turn I would say is better quality build than an iPad 2. If i didnt feel credit was due to Apple they wouldn't have recieved about $4000 over the past years in product purchases. I feel the ipad 2 is a rushed device, I am most calling it garbage by any means, but in all honesty I think the only problem with the first gen is that it lacked sufficient ram when the OS updated and it recieved faux multi-tasking. Other than that it feels like a rushed device, to maintain momentum they a ready had. Please tell me how anything I am saying is fanboyish?

If I even thought the ipad was not a quality device my girlfriend could use for daily tasks and presenting her portfolio as a Graphic Designer with then, I would have not made the purchase and would have tried to sway her interest in waiting for android tablets. I said there is and will be a market the ipad fills that android tablets will never fill, ease of use no matter age or tech background, anyone can pick it up and love it where as watching people with android tablets, like my xoom people get confused.

What is happening with all of these issues is no different then how the xooms list of need to fix asap is piling up, they are both rushed devices, I feel neither one was ready for the market quite yet, and yet both wanted to be out either first or close enough to disrupt the others launch. That said the woes of the xoom are heavier in some areas, but to see people treating issues like the ipad 2 as nothing but a minor problem and the xoom as a not worthwhile purchase is where this thread is intended in meaning.

If I had not started with a G1 and stuck with google experience devices all the way through now I'd probably be a livid user and would have returned my xoom by now. I think that being a linux user for over 7+ years has also attributed to my patience with software issues can always be fixed, especially when there is a strong community backing it.

Say what you want, call me a fan boy, ill recommend a first Gen ipad any day to an average consumer with little understanding of electronics over an ipad 2 any day. I recommnd the Xoom to people with above average knowledge(or the want to learn), patience, and appreciation for the finished product when it comes.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Not to metion that apple has shipped 2.4 million ipad2s already compared to maybe 100k Xooms for motorola. So any little bug is going to have a much bigger effect. Say both the xoom and the ipad2 have the exact same wifi bug stemming from a certain type of router. The ipad2 is gonna have 24 people affected for every one person for the xoom. So problems will be much more pronounced when you ship the volume apple does.

Hi all,

I have a Macbook Pro currently setup for Android Development. Eclipse works just fine, the SDK seems to be installed correctly, and I can load up the AVD emulator just fine for testing applications.

However, when I try to plug in my EVO into my laptop, I cannot get the EVO to be recognized by ADB. I've made sure the phone is setup for USB Debugging, placing it in Disk Mode/Charge Only, tried a few ADB commands in terminal (./adb kill-server, ./adb start-server, ./adb usb) but nothing works - it just doesn't see my EVO.

I'm currently running Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo on my EVO with netarchy's kernel. On the Mac, it's the newest version of Snow Leopard with Eclipse Classic 3.6.2 with all the newest updates to the SDK.

Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
I had this exact thing happen to me, but on a Windows box. I had rooted a ton of EVO's, pushed files via ADB, etc. One day it stopped working. Nothing had changed, I hadn't even rebooted, the laptop had just gone to sleep. Did all the normal troubleshooting, etc.

I ended up starting an install of PDANet, which re-installed ADB, and it's worked fine since. Not sure if that's an option for Macs. The last Mac I used was one of those ones that looked like a colored TV
[EVO 4G General] link00seven:
I've done a fresh reinstall of Eclipse, the SDK, and tried your PDANet install as well and it doesn't work with my EVO or with any other Android phone I plug into my computer.
[EVO 4G General] ellis125:
I had the same problem earlier today too. I ended up just using adb wireless to connect my evo to adb so that's a fix you can try using too.
[EVO 4G General] raphenucleus:
Whenever I use ADB, I boot the phone into recovery, then run ADB shell from there. It's the only way I've ever been able to run it. Might be worth trying.

i dropped my phone and found my battery died and doesnt work anymore. I ordered these new batteries online from ebay. they were cheap....can anyone clarify if these batteries are half decent?

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
those look like the exact batterys i ordered off some random chinese site. I bought three and always carry and extra battery with me and never charge my phone. usually the battery will last me around 18 hours (almost a whole day)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jark99:
so i bought thee batteries and well when booted into fast boot. that Recovery thingy, it said my battery voltage was too low??? what does that mean? i cant change that ?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jark99:
These batteries are being drained reallly reallly fast. Anyone recommend some other good 1500omah batteries??

[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Just tried using seus to reflash my x8 due to brick. And it says there's new firmware available, anyone tried it? New features? Didn't update incase of loosing root. Used x10 flash instead.
[XPERIA X8 General] puppet13th:
About a week ago i have downgrade to 1.6 (donut)

I just curius about donut because i haven't seen it before.i got my x8 in eclair state.

After i done with it,i use SEUS to upgrade to eclair again.

I have already run SEUS for 2.1update1 so i have the SEUS DB download at my laptop.

When i do the update, SEUS download data about 106mb

before this time it's download about 126mb.

I don't see any difrences after the updates.

just my Model name From x8 changed to e15i

maybe it because i downgrade to donut
[XPERIA X8 General] zangetsu2188:
There is none.

Maybe thats the 2nd release of 2.1? With ANT+ stuff.
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Ok thanks for replys, still rootable then?
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
Try it ;)

If it isnt then go back with Flashtool and Flash 2.1.1.A.0.6
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
can you tell exact version? is it 2.1.1.A.0.6 or newer?
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
He didnt flashed it but someone with generic firmware can try to update if is update real of course.
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
Well... What's the CDA for Generic World?

1236-9291?
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Not sure but i have backup of generic firmware I can check but how i can extract this img files?
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
Open system.img with aZuZu XPERIA Android Series Kitchen and then go to [ Build Properites Editor] and voila - you'll see the CDA :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
It's not, I've tried it once but no updates available even on Donut...
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
just try it.. its still the same old 2.1-update1 (2.1.1.A.0.6)

(but. i dont know if other country got the update)
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
I think it maybe newer is I was on 2.1.1.0.a.6 when I used seus but like I said I didn't use seus to flash in the end. Ill try it when I get chance.
[XPERIA X8 General] gigamega:
My experience is that if you update with PCC the baseband won't be ...015, and the build won't be the newest. But with SEUS iit will be. And then you are able to install 2.2 floyo. So I prefer SEUS.
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
Floyo through seus, please explain?
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
It just install right baseband for all roms.
[XPERIA X8 General] Sgt-Hartley:
They way he has written the post is misleading, thats all
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I've added a Google account to my WP7 (Using the Google, not Exchange/Outlook method). Emails sync to it fine but when I delete them from the phone: they aren't getting deleted in Gmail itself. I've waited maybe 30 minutes... Is this normal and I have to use Exchange/Outlook or what?

Edit- Ahh never mind. Apparently the "Delete" function does not trigger a sync... I manually sync it and they go away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Yah it won't sync and delete off server right away. I'm pretty sure its based off the account sync setting. If you have it receive mail every 30mins, maybe thats when it will sync the deleted items as well. I just tested it, and it took about 1 minute for it to delete off server (mine is set to receive mail as it comes in). That way it doesn't sync every time you delete one email, then again when you delete another, it waits a certain amount of time then sync's the changes.

With my Yahoo, which can only be set for every 15mins as the fastest, I think thats when it does it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
That's exactly how mine's set, too, but since I didn't have any emails come in after I deleted it- it never sync'd.

GMail on Android didn't act like this- it'd go ahead and process item moves, deletes, etc... right away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Yah I remember that on my Android as well. It was nice, but not really necessary to be instantaneous. Maybe they will implement that in the future?

You said yours wouldn't even sync the deleted items at the chosen sync interval because there was no new mail? Mine deletes from the server, new mail or not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
No, I meant mine is set to push. No new mail = no sync trigger.

If I set it on an interval it would but then it's not push.
[Windows Phone 7 General] samnas2:
For me i always have to tap the sync icon before quitting the mail ...

.... and so far its going good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
edit....running some tests
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Deleting email messages from your phone does not delete them from Gmail (it does not move them to the Trash folder/label), even after syncing. If you log in to your Gmail account online, you will still find all of the "deleted" messages in All Mail.

This is due in part to the way the WP7 client works, but also because of the way Gmail implements folders as labels. Basically, all the WP7 client does is tell Gmail to remove the Inbox label from the message. In Gmail, that is not the same as deleting it. The Trash label is special in Gmail, and applying that label causes all other labels (including the All Mail label) to be removed, and the message gets flagged for permanent removal after 30 days.

If you delete messages on your phone, you will need to periodically log into your Gmail account through a browser to purge the old mail from All Mail, or it will continue to sit there. It's actually pretty easy to tell which messages in All Mail have been deleted by phone, because there will be no Inbox label indicator on them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gremmmy:
Well it's working at me..

You have to config imap at your wp7. That is the only way to sync correctly :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I'm not complaining about the Delete vs Archive thing. I actually like the way that works.

I'm complaining that when I Archive, Delete, Move, whatever... On Gmail on Android... The function gets synced. It doesn't want until a new sync, like on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
OK, that makes sense. When I first set up my Google account on my phone, I used the as items arrive sync setting, and deletes were synced immediately. I'm not sure why it didn't work for you. But that was a while ago, so maybe something has changed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The only PUSH for GMail is using Google Sync, which is ActiveSync, which means you have to set it up like an Exchange Server. Using IMAP is not PUSH, and POP3 certainly isn't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TexUs:
I know how Google handles it. I like how they do it. It fits in with their philosophy of, "Archive, don't Delete"... So for me, if using another client- clients don't have an "Archive" button, just a "Delete" button.

If I'm using Gmail in another client, I want my emails Archived, not Deleted (current behavior). I'd be pissed if Delete actually moved them to Trash.

So my gripe is not Google in that regard at all. I both like and understand why they do it.

The downside to that is you lose your calendar, right?

I think I could manage that. I don't need Calendar SYNC (I never refer to it on a desktop or anything)- I just need it backed up. So I can add my Calendar via my Live account.

I might do this method. It begs the question though, what method does the "Google Account" use in the background?? Something like IMAP?

Edit- well shoot... The Active Sync Google connection syncs the calendar, too. What the hell is the "Google Account" advantage, then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gore-:
I all,

I search to set up my inbox for delete really delete my mails, no archive.

My account was set up as a "GMAIL account", I have tried with activesync account too since I have read this thread but ... it's the same problem

No "Archive" menu, juste "delete", and no way to really delete ?

Is somebody have a solution?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] robertwigley:
See my post over on Microsoft Answers for a solution/workaround. Duplicated below as I am unable to post links due to being a new member!

The problem is with Gmail not MS, although MS could probably implement a 'fix' to workaround the problem that is Google's making, as some have suggested Apple may have done, but I have no experience of this as I do not use Apple products full stop.

Anyhow, there is a way to get this to work simply and reliably, although it does not work via Exchange ActiceSync, or at least I have not figured out a way of doing this yet.

If Gmail is set up via the WP7 inbuilt Exchange ActiceSync, uncheck email synchronisation under account settings, but leave Contact and Calendar checked if you use these. You will lose the Gmail Inbox.

Now, create a new account and enter the IMAP settings for Google and set your synchronisation interval as required. Your Gmail Inbox will reappear.

However, you're not done yet. You now, need to go into the Web interface for Gmail, go to Settings/Labels and untick Show in IMAP next to All Mail.

Now, goto Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Ensure IMAP is enabled, select Auto- Expunge off and then Move the message to the Bin, below it.

Now when you delete a message on WP7 they will appear under the Deleted Items label, but can easily be cleaned up to the Bin periodically via the web interface. Playing around with these settings will hopefully get you the behaviour you require. This particular way works well for me, as I it still gives me a recovery option if I accidentally delete something on my phone. The downside is that you essentially get two Recyle Bins in the web interface.

If someone works out how to do this via Exchange ActiveSync, or manages to refine this further, please let me know.

It's not perfect, but it does work. I hope this helps someone...
