AT LAST!Someone who speaks with reason on the matter!I don't care whether you prefer iOS or Android,I just care that you have a balanced opinion on the matter.It all comes down to personal preference.What do I care if the guy/gal next to me prefers a different OS than I do?Yeah,I'm one of the guys who use Ubuntu as their daily OS on my PC,so what?Does that make me better or worse than the guys who use Windows or Mac?No.Same with phones.

I really love my Apple products, and that includes all sorts of things (even some screwdrivers, hats, pens, water bottles ...)

But my iPod touch 1g is running Android. Apple has dropped support for me with that product, and I figured I may as well do the same thing to them with it ;)

The argument is APPLES and ORANGE.......... or to put more succinctly a non-sequitor

Apple market approach is and has been always has been to market the image and sell the image " only apple is unique or the best, only the best people, etc."

This is a piggy backed approach from the IPOD basis, which capitalized on online music in a mp3 format. It was and is a successful. But,... they're approach still states that they sell you WHAT THEY think is pertinent and decide on what you need, then charge you retail plus 20% for it. It is and still remains a locked and closed system. Creating a image fervor much like when xbox 1st came out, ...long lines customer fights etc.......... 2-digit mob mentality.......... they are good at this .....and it shows.

Android, on the other hand was not created to be closed system since it was based on Linux, it was open source, and the effort was to see if the public would drive development as well as create the new market that would automatically follow...... in essence a novel experiment.......... The result speaks for itself. An open more stable platform that has been embraced around the world. People need to remember that the market is not USA or Europe, but the Entire World. And that, Android has taken over and will continue until the market share of the Iphone IOS will be that of the Mac to the Windows platform. A solid following but, a minority player.

THE DANGER,---- is if Android then is turned upside down by Google, who then figures we are all addicted so now pay up or no support.......... I personally do not think this will happen, BUT... then I don't trust any corporation at all and so, I never let my guard down.

Like I said different animals vying for the same market................

Hello everyone.

I have a DHD unrooted.

Im trying to install Navionics Mediterannean on it but i cant find it

on the market.

I sent e-mail to navionics and they told me that the app is available

for my phone but i still cant find it.

Even if i go from my pc to the market, find the app on the dropdown

meny where you select your phone, it sais its not possible

to install this app on your phone next to the model of my phone.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Its not in my market either. I'm guessing its not compatible with it. I'm rooted and unbranded.
[Desire HD General] aivarss:
It depends on your region. There is countries where all apps is available and countries where list is limited. For example I'm from/in Latvia and there is no one non-free app in market but whose are available in USA or UK and dozen else countries.
[Desire HD General] AtaNaS13:
andy since you are rooted can you install market enabler put it as US network

and see if you can find it?

I dont want to root for no reason ;)

thanx in advance.
[Desire HD General] AtaNaS13:
or at last someone else who has rooted phone to try it? plz
[Desire HD General] Andy:
No luck with US networks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersobbie:
OK, I have been searching and searching. I can find a lot of places where they post mods but I was hoping there would be a walkthrough for first timers. I would like to start modding some of the apps on my phone. (AKA Widgets transparent or themed). is there a place I can find what files contain what images for HTC Sense? when I was playing with modding in windows mobile sense I found a lot of info but I can not seem to find too much here.

I believe these are the steps:

1. get apk

2. unzip and change images

3. repack apk

4. copy apk to /system/app

I am not sure how to repack a apk yet (any pointers would be great). I am not sure I am suppose to get the apk from the system folder or from the website? by copying it to the system folder is that enough? or do I have to install it?

Any little pointers would be great.

Thanks,

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DatterBoy:
Current version seems to have a URL issue that covers the entire screen, can't get to the games at all. Had read that it may be because of Ad Blockers but I uninstalled them to no avail.

Didn't have the issue before so I think if I rolled back a version or 2 it may resolve the issue. Anyone know where I can get it?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Midnitte:
Don't you need the latest version to play online anyway?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DatterBoy:
No. You figure, if someone does not update, they can still play, right?

At any rate, I got 3.22 and it didn't fix the problem for me. I believe the current version is 3.28.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Teksu:
The problem is adblock for android, if you restore your old hosts file you will be able to play words with friends, but your ad's will be back

you need to re-install the ad-blocker and restore your host file
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DatterBoy:
What if I don't have an older hosts file to restore?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] john10101:
Then your certainly in trouble :-) If the hosts file works like a windows host file, its probably blank by default. but dont hold me to that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Teksu:
You dont need the file itself, just reinstall the app from the market and select "restore hosts"

there is also a new calendar via the test market, which shows version 3.1, so unless google has changed their version numbers on their market, ie, Froyo's calendar is 2.2.1 and GB's is 2.3.3 then most of these apps are 3.1/Ice Cream apk's and are going to be backwards compatible with previous versions of android.

[Atrix 4G General] airprakken:
Had my Atrix a little over a week and like it a lot.

Not rooted.

I get 2 days on the battery -- about 25% at the end of the second evening. I leave WiFi on and GPS mostly off (turning it on only when I need it). I have set the task manager to shut things down but, of course, various Moto-stuff continues to run. Display on auto brightness. I use it quite a bit for email and web browsing but, I'm sure, much less than others.

A couple of days after I got it, I was driving over the mountains, going in and out of any coverage, and it went black and unresponsive. Seemed like it would vibrate occasionally but I needed to pull the battery to bring it back. No problem like that since, even driving the same road the other direction. That was soon after the upgrade, so maybe it needed to be rebooted again.

Occasionally it becomes unresponsive in the middle of doing something complex in a new app -- like freezing in a context menu. Putting it to sleep with the sleep key and then bringing it back makes it responsive again. Not a real problem but certainly a symptom of immature software -- as expected.

I find the screen to be excellent.

Most recently I was using a BB Bold 9000. This phone, with an Otterbox Commuter, is considerably thinner than the 9000 with an Otterbox on it. I like that. I miss the real BB keyboard but the future is clearly non-physical keyboards (not necessarily screens).

Best: It can be turned up to be the loudest phone I have ever owned. More distortion at top volume (as expected) but having the ability to turn up the ring volume and the phone volume / speakerphone volume is excellent.

Next best: Easily replaceable battery, including excellent approach to the back cover. I wouldn't own a phone that needed to be sent back to the factory when the battery gets tired. My experience on batteries is that they start noticeably downhill as soon as one year. When that happens with this one, I will buy a second battery and have one new battery and one tired battery. I know some people like the iPhone case design but I believe the Atrix case / back cover is a first-class design as well -- just a totally different set of design goals.
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
The atrix is a really good phone I don't understand why people hate on it so much.

It could be even better with an unlocked bootloader but I mean its still crazy good.
[Atrix 4G General] kdspiv:
I am wrapping my 4rth complete day. My experiences are pretty darn similar to your own.

So far I get two days per full charge. This is with lots of playing around and downloading of apps and files.

I have had it sort of freeze a couple of times when playing with many newly downloaded apps one after another. But nothing a quick lok and unlock didnt fix.

This phone is unreal fast!

The minute I got my phone dropped of by fed ex, I plugged it in to the wall outlet. When it was 100% charged, I downloaded and intstalled the update. Other than that, I havent installed anything else but apps and widgets.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Do you guys have push mail set up, or are you polling? I'm at ~35% after being unplugged for 9 hours with pretty heavy use. lots of screen on time, live wallpapers, wifi on/off, lots of apps/data downloading, mp3s, etc.

Awesome phone, no complaints at all though!
[Atrix 4G General] airprakken:
Email=gmail is essentially default except ringtone=silent. I have always assumed that it is polled but googling it I see that some people say it is push -- surprise to me.

I remember reducing the frequency of data requests but can't find that menu right now... :-)

I often use the phone several times an hour for email, FB, calendar, web. Never used it for mp3 and only once for some YouTube.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I'm not sure either. I ***** and moan about damn near everything and I have no complaints about this device, other than the bootloader. That'd bring a ton of dev interest to the Atrix community but oh well, it does everything else flawlessly. And there isn't even really much I'd use if the devs unlocked the bootloader to be honest.

I'm someone who *****es about everything and if I'm content, I can't see how others can possibly make any complaints.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Gmail is set up as push by default, but Android calls it "sync" instead of push. The setting is pretty hidden in Blur, I can't figure out where to get to it except for the Power Widget I have on my homescreen.
[Atrix 4G General] jmastrol:
I get a full day, no problem, and end up at about %40+ when I charge it for a few hours in the morning before going to work. I have 3 push e-mail accounts, use WiFi most of the day, and browse the web once in a while. Use Google Reader to get time to pass during those painfully long meetings.

But I've been hard pressed to wear the battery out in a day with my "typical" use. Battery lasts much longer than my Nexus One and leaps longer then the old G1.

Just my $0.02 worth, YMMV.
[Atrix 4G General] airprakken:
Yes, indeed. I had a G1 to experiment with some Android development. It's battery depletion rate, even when dark, made it almost useless.

The new Atrix battery is better than my Blackberry Bold 9000 with a one year old battery -- much better than I expected.
[Atrix 4G General] tom2517:
I agree, I don't know how well Moto was able to optimize the Tegra 2 chip and various electronics but the 1930 mAh battery surely helped.
[Android Software Development] FrankieSixxxgun:
Hello everybody, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm posting to ask about where to get started in developing Android applications? I have half a degree in computer science, am familiar with coding, and work in Android software QA, but I'm trying to get my skillset up to the next level and actually start developing applications on Android. Is there any specific books or literature I should read to get me started on my journey? I'm also a long time IT guy on both Windows and Unix-based systems, so I'm by no means computer illiterate. I'm also a long time phone modder as I've been tweaking Android phones since the original G1 running 1.0. Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] Charles Darke:
Take a look at the Android Developer guide. It has samples and tutorials. If you google, there are also several free PDFs on the subject.

A good Java book will also help a lot. Just start to write a few trial apps and you will get there quickly!
[Android Software Development] aitorTheRed:
The best place to learn for me, is android web page:

Here you have everything to start:

http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

And to set up the environment for developing:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

If you want to learn from the scratch, the links I posted are your point. You can also take a look to the tutorials:

http://developer.android.com/intl/es...llo-world.html

You can also start with java, if you want.. I reccomend you take a look to this:

http://download.oracle.com/javase/tu...ava/index.html

http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

and start from Java SE 6 (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/)

[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I don't know what your college classes are like for CS, but you should have the basics of programming, why not start writing some Android apps?

Start with the basic "Hello World". Get used to working with main.xml and TextViews, EditViews, ListViews, Buttons and Listeners. Android is mostly JAVA, some Android-specific operations and your xml files.

Take some of your CS 101 type programs and try to write them on Android. The more programs you write, the more you learn.

Try to learn something new everyday and in no time at all you'll be impressed with how far you have come.
[Android Software Development] aitorTheRed:
Yes :) this is really a good advice :)

Just start writting little programs and you will go up soon ;)

You could use the sample code that comes with the sdk, and start with different things: First, layout, xml and the like. You could then start with some othe things, like services, broadcast receivers, content providers, to get the feel of them. And finally, work with the hardware: Internet (wifi or 3g), bluetooth.. :)

[Android Software Development] notasimpleway:
At Barnes and Noble there is a book called Android App Development in 24 Hours. It is a freaking great book. Helped me a lot when I started. It breaks down the chapters in to hours with exercises and explanations. Being familiar with Java fundamentals would be good, but not necessary. The first couple hours(chapters) explains the a general overview of the history of the OS and helps you build your first app. My favorite part of the book is how it teaches you to build and app piece by piece over the rest of the chapters adding new features each hour. So, by the end you have and app with quite a bit of features that work and you actually understand how and why. At the end, you have an app that has a lot of Android features as well as knowledge of how they work and can be used. It doesn't go into the more advanced features, but it is well worth the money for beginners. I still use it as a reference because of the easy to understand instructions. Sometimes, the Internet guides assume you have been using Java for 10 years and skip how and why they are doing something. And even then I doubt every veteran Java programmer remembers everything. ;) I am half asleep so forgive any grammar errors.
