[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minker17:
Actually, another question. I have my nandroid from right after I rooted it. So it's stock/rooted/cwm.

Can I nandroid back to it and then simply flash PC10IMG.zip to it?

** EDIT **

Restored Nandroid and then flashed the update. Then I used the gfree method from the link a few above to gain temp root and restore my partition. Completely back to stock and locked back to T-Mo.

God, I love Android.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdarooted:
:( I was sad when I dropped my phone. :mad: I was mad when I found out how tedious it was to fix the shiny bezel. :D I am happy now that i fixed it without taking it apart. :cool: I am so cool b/c it was so easy.

How do you ask, here's how:

1. Depending on your dings and dents, hopefully their not too dented.

2. Find a local hobby store i.e. Hobby Hub or Hobby Town, etc.

3. Ask if they have chrome pin striping tape, it's for model cars and such.

4. It's about $2 to $10 dollars depending on if you get the varying precut stuff ($10) or one size ($2)

5. I got the ($10) tape so I didn't have to cut it to size.

6. You'll want some scissors or an exato knife.

7. In well lit area apply the tape. I'd measure how long a piece you need so you have a single fix.

8. The tape should stretch around the corners, so tug a little.

9. Press all the edges down firmly so it's smooth.

Note: it's easy to reapply if you mess up. There's been a little shift, but well worth it considering the eye sore.

Oh I forgot, you could also go wild and get different colored chromes, blue, gold, even go black.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm_ok:
A video link was posted in one of the threads here, in which the presenter said that the SGSII "supports" Skype.

Was that a dumb person's way of saying it has a fraont facing camera? Or has anyone actually ready anything specific about the SGSII coming preloaded with Skype?

Just wondering...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sm0nd:
I hope it has video enabled Skype preloaded... but probably it won't have.

Most probably the woman in the video had no technical skills at all and just said that because it has a front facing camera... we'll see. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
In either case, Skype is available via the market place, does it not support front facing camera?

I don't own a Android device as of yet so do not know. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enthrall:
Skype is available in the Android Market, however there isn't a video-call support for Skype as of now, on Android.

There are a few videos/articles floating about that there's a version of Skype designed specifically for the HTC Thunderbolt that supports video calling over 3G/4G.

Perhaps that's what the person would be referring to? That the particular version of Skype for video calling could also come with the S II. Anyway this part's just my speculation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Thats BS, I use Skype on the iPhone to do a low of video calling with my clients, it would suck if I cannot do that any longer.

What a turn off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascariss:

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
I've written an article that I believe will be beneficial to all software developers, specifically app developers. It's about how to architect your application code for simplicity, reusability, and testability.

So be warned, this topic is going to be geared more towards a high-level code architecture discussion.

Snippet:

read the full article

UPDATE 5/2/11

I've released my PMVP framework as open source at codeplex.

http://pmvp.codeplex.com/

This includes the source code for the framework (abstract classes to extend), utilities, WP7 implementations, as well as a complete and functional example application which demonstrates the PMVP framework, data serialization, Location Services (GPS) usage, and Bing maps integration.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
Hmm... Do you have any "high-level code architecture" really big and complex WP7 app to prove your concept? Your QuickText is too simple and small, can be written without that kind of theorization.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
You don't need a really big and complex app to benefit from using the MVP pattern. Even a simple app can benefit just because when you separate the concerns by MVP.

Sure, with MVP there are more classes, and all you're doing is really shifting the location of the complexity - BUT every class is way smaller and very tightly focused. My XAML code-behinds are dead small & simple. My ViewFacades are simple. My Presenters are simple.

Would you rather have a single large bloated code-behind, or several smaller code files each with a single purpose? Are you interested in porting your app to other platforms? Do you want automated code testing coverage? That is where the advantage of the MVP pattern comes in.

It requires a little more up-front planning, but you reap the benefits quickly after that.

I'm working on an (admittedly trivial) example app, but it should feature most of the common scenarios that developers will encounter. It'll be posted to codeplex and i'll link to it here when it's ready.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
You need it, not me. Telling very trivial and banal things on the developers forum without real experience in the large multiplatform projects it's just a blah-blah-blah. Sorry, but for me your article is not even worth the time spent on reading.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mvermef:
not that MVP isn't the samething but most people are more use to MVVM now over MVP in general terms since that has been the buzz abbreviation with WPF/Silverlight for a few years now.

I am looking forward to what you write up.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
Well I'm sorry it doesn't provide any value for you. The MVP pattern has been very beneficial for me in my job as a software engineer developing enterprise systems. It has provided real value for me and my coworkers and we use it in shipped, in-production, systems.

Besides, the multi-platform aspect of MVP is trivial compared to the benefits of separation of concerns (single responsibility principle) and inherently automatable testability.

So if you're already a top-notch developer, well then I have nothing to offer you. For everybody else who's interested in making themselves better developers, then I remain available for discussion in the hopes of furthering the craft.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
The standard MVVM pattern has its benefits, mostly being that it's very quick to develop. However, it's not as consistent in its separation of concerns as MVP is, but if short-term speed is more important than purity of design, then stick with MVVM.

I'd like to point out that with my MVP implementation, i've managed to integrate MVVM into MVP, not replace it. The way I did that is to simply extract some of the MVVM functionality into the Presenter tier, while keeping the powerful databinding capabilities of MVVM in the View tier.

MVP pays major dividends when considering the long-term picture. Better separation means easier debugging, maintenance, testing, and extensibility.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] emigrating:
It's quicker to develop because you end up writing less code.

Less code == less bugs == better code IMO :)

This is interesting. Could you please elaborate on how MVP is a more (or better) separated pattern than MVVM? I get the feeling you're doing MVVM wrong if this is your conclusion, but I could very well be wrong.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mvermef:
If you have actually read the white papers and examples from Martin Fowler then you would actually equate MVP and MVVM. They are nearly identical. Only some minor differences. As for separation of view from model you actually have less code with mvvm. As the other poster has indicted it might be that your implementation of MVVM might be slightly off.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
That is undoubtedly true, to some extent. However, less code also implies less control and less flexibility. While it takes more code to implement MVP, a lot of it is simple plumbing code - code that could, perhaps, be eliminated in the future using something like PostSharp or T4 to generate code.

But this is where as a developer you have to weigh the costs and the benefits. The benefits are separation of concerns, portability, testability.

The MVP pattern encourages a separation between presentation logic and UI-specific logic, whereas MVVM does not.

Presentation logic is behavioral - for instance, say you have a collection of products, which is displayed in a ListBox on a PhoneApplicationPage. There is a button on the page which will delete the selected product.

In MVVM, the ViewModel holds the view state (products collection), and also the ICommand which contain the logic to execute: 1) delete the selected product from the data layer, and 2) update the view state. The MVVM databinding handles the last step of synchronization between the products collection and the listbox on the page.

Now in there is some high-level logic which could be abstracted - the rule that when the delete event occurs, that the data layer is updated, and the view state data is updated. If you are interested in portability, then you'd want to be able to reuse this presentation logic in another app platform, even on a web page version, so that's why you'd extract that code and put it in a presenter. But you keep the view state in the ViewModel to take advantage of the databinding.

Another benefit of removing presentation logic from the ViewModel is that it no longer couples your View tier to your Model tier (other than using the data objects). Removing dependencies makes your View tier much simpler and cleaner.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
Fowler's white papers make a distinction between MVP and MVVM - he actually calls it Presentation Model, and his definition predates MVVM.

So yes, i've read his white papers, i'm familiar with them, and I reference them extensively. There is a significant difference between Presentation Model and MVP, namely that the Presentation Model (aka MVVM) contains presentation behavior logic, whereas in MVP that logic is contained in the Presenter tier.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] zaijian:
Martin Fowler himself says:

So MVVM is "less code" than MVP, but MVP is just MVVM taken one step further to separate different responsibilities into difference classes - which he notes, is a good practice.

I'm having a great time discussing this, but I think my intent in my posting of this is being misunderstood, [obama]so let me be clear[/obama]:

I'm not advocating the use of MVP+MVVM over standard MVVM - that is something for the developer to decide, after weighing the pros and cons of each against their requirements.

I'm merely offering a way to enhance MVVM applications to provide the additional benefits an MVP implementation provides.

I developed my implementation of MVP because I want to work with an Android developer and see the real, tangible benefits of the pattern for cross-platform application development. So in this, the argument of MVVM vs MVP is moot, as Android does not have the luxury of an MVVM framework! So besides the other benefits of MVP, if cross-platform development is of an interest to you, then MVP is almost a must.

[EVO 4G Accessories] xhaui:
I have one of thr cheap chinese extended batteries I bought from amazon. I don't feel like I am getting that great of battery life. I get like 12 hours with like 300 texts, moderate surfing, and maybe 2 phone calls. I have 4G off almost all the time but when I turn it on i get maybe 5 hours if I am lucky. I have tried all the calibration tricks and such. Is it worth droping the 50-60 bucks on the Sedio extended battery? Has anyone compared Seidio battery life with battery life on one of these cheap Chinese batteries?
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
I have about 4 of the Chinese batteries that are 3500mAh supposedly. There was a guy on here selling his 2600mAh Sprint branded extended battery which is made by Seido. When I was using the Chinese batteries I felt the same way you did and I always wondered was it worth it to drop more money for a reputable brand. YES!!! This 2600 battery lasts me 2 days with moderate use. I don't have 4G here so I don't use it. I don't use bluetooth often but I do keep my wifi on at all times. I use my phone texting pretty much most of the day, probably anywhere from 1 to 20 calls per day(I don't like talking on the phone so I don't stay on long usually), I surf the internet and the market regularly and play a few games like Angry Birds Rio and a couple others. I just got a replacement EVO for my stolen one and my replacement will overclock to 1190(haven't gone any higher yet) without causing any problems. My old one I kept on 998 all the time. Ever since overclocking I have seen more battery drain, but I have had my phone unplugged for about 4 hours and have played Angry Birds Rio, surfed the market, Did a Titanium Backup of my apps among other things. The screen was on for about 1 and a half straight while doing these things and my battery dropped from 100% to 93%. Not bad and definitely better than the cheap ones.

IT IS WORTH IT!
[EVO 4G Accessories] xhaui:
So I went out and bought it. The first thing I noticed was that the Platinum battery is quite a bit thicker than the cheap one I got from Amazon. Now I am quite certain that these cheap batteries aren't 3500mAh as advertised. We'll see how this one holds up.
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
Yeah I tried to get the backplate from the cheap chinese battery to fit over my Sprint branded 2600mah battery and it won't snap on the bottom. It's a shame because I like the Covers from the cheapies better than the ones that came from Sprint. Even my 2600 battery is thicker than the 3500 ones from China.

You can do it anyway (only supported apps though). Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> On SD card (tab). If it has a tick next to it, then it's already on SDCard.

Thx for your reply. But i was thinking of installing all apps not just some. cause previously on Froyo 2.2 i was using a Desire & after rooting & installing custom rom then was i able to install all apps to the microSD. Otherwise if without root, only if the apps support SD card install then can i install on it.

I had a sandisk ultra class 4 before, and it had very slow write speeds, so I returned it and bought this. Best £15 I ever spent.

Great speeds, very stable so far, my SGS is happy with it. The seller, in case you're interested, is called u2cheerz.

I attach the crystaldiskmark score, which outperforms my previous sandisk in every category. I just hope this doesn't die on me!! :)

Sorry to bother you my friend,but this microSD is fake one,:rolleyes: 10class speeds are waaay bigger,also the real 10class cost about 50EUro.

But yours OK,for that price it`s just perfect,I got sandisk 16GB class2 with 7mb write and 22mb read.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tyxerakias:
Class 10 means minimum 10 MB/s. Which it covers perfectly. So I don't see why it's "fake". Maybe some better brands will give higher speeds, e.g. Lexar, but they cost four times as much.

As far as I'm concerned, it's more than 'just perfect'. The Sandisk Ultra (class 4) that I returned because it was too slow (class 4 indeed, despite some glowing reviews) costs £59.99 in store at Carphone Warehouse, and this £15 one wipes the floor with it and laughs at its face.

I'm not one to get excited by 'brands', sorry. If it works pefectly, which it does, it's more than enough for me. If you want to pay four times as much for something inferior, be my guest.
