Please tell me you did NOT just use the word "moral" when talking about a cell phone feature/update......are you serious? Moral? There's absolutely nothing even close to being in the same realm as "moralities" at work here. Lol.

In regards to the OP, I think you guys should lay off him. He did not come across as complaining at all to me. Just rambling about 2.3 basically wishing outloud but certainly not "complaining". There's nothing wrong with expecting one of if not the most advanced piece of hardware of its time to get pretty far into the upgrade cycle. Personally I think 2.3 is probably the end of the line for the Fascinate, eventually, but even if not I think it is important to note he did also give props to the devs for bringing 2.2 to the Fascinate so quickly. So ease up guys. Any of you that would have honestly been fine staying at Eclair with a Fascinate should re-evaluate $600 handset purchases. That argument about "not being owed anything more than Eclair" is junk and you know it.

[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
I agree. A phone with this caliber deserves to be updated to the latest version of the Android OS. It was the top of the line, if not still the top of the line device when it was released, it AT LEAST deserves 2.2, seeing as it can obviously handle it, and can definitely handle gingerbread. Samsung just needs to get their heads out their asses and finally realize that a phone they built is capable of running whatever OS version they could possibly throw at it.
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
Two things.

1. It its absolutely a moral issue, we are talking about promises and lies made possibly by specific companies. If that is not a moral issue, what is?

2. To the op, I do apologize, your post was not a complaint about sammy and gb, I think the post that had me seeing red was the I phone post. I phone dementia kills me. I don't see how anyone would view apple over sammy as a company. As slow as sammy may be in updating this phone at least they will "let" me have flash.

P.S. My point about the phone coming with eclair, who is more insane? Someone who buys a phone with eclair who realizes that eclair might be it? Or the person who drops 600 bucks hoping it will be updated. I don't disagree with most of the points made in this thread. My original point was, when your buying a phone, and it say's it comes with one version of the software, you should assume that, that is it. Because there are never any guarantees in life and 600 bucks is a lot of money.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
That tweet is also from June of last year. Good catch there sir. /endsarcasm
[Fascinate General] neyenlives:
Morality is a word that implies a persons morals are involved. There is no personal morals involved in business. Business decisions, such as whether or not to invest company resources in updating last years' hardware are just that, business decisions, not personal, and the people making them make those decisions, not based on personal morals but based on $. Money has no morals, and morals should never get involved with money.

Do they have a perception issue in the public eye to deliver on their advertised intentions? Sure! But this has nothing to do with morals.

[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:
I think people focus way too much on what operating system they are running or can't get... why not focus on improving on what you do have? We can't get everything we want just because we have some developers here. If you aren't satisfied with what you got, then pony up the cash to get the phone/os you desire... which I'm positive you will find something wrong with your shiny new phone as well.

[Fascinate General] piizzadude:
Is there really such an animal? Maybe with your mom & pop, but not mega corporations. The only thing they are bound to, in reality, is the bottom line to keep the stockholders happy which in turn will let them keep the megamillion dollar a year job.

Now SHOULD there be some kind of business ethics? Sure, but who is gonna enforce them? I am a huge MS fan, but I agree they should have been taken behind the wood shed a few years ago. The US justice department had them pretty much dead to rights on all counts.

They got a slap on the wrist and no real recourse for millions upon millions of end users.

What do you think Verizon would get for what, maybe a million, at best, Fascinate users? Do you even think anyone would really look at the complaint? Be real.

it makes good business sense in a fashion to put these updates off a bit. You didn't want to take the luster off the TB before launch, and now they are getting all the, shall we say impatient, fascinate people to pay 150$ to "upgrade" to it.

Someone, stated in another thread/forum that the Fascinate is somewhat in line with what an upgrade timeline should be. IMHO, people are just complaining because A) it was RUMORED last year that the update was coming sometime and B) everyone else has it (WAAAAAA!).

The fascinate is a damn fine phone. XDA/AC has a great developer community that only makes it better. If you cannot wait for froyo, flash it. SC and the rest are pretty much idiot proof and stable. If it does go south on you, there are tons of people willing to help get you right.

Just my opinion, flame me if you want. I don't care, I will be off using my SC Froyo'd and loving it.

PS: Another thing that is chafing my chaps is knowing that one month after they do release an official froyo we will have 10000 threads complaining about GB.
[Fascinate General] dclutter1:
Yeah I know what you mean OP. I want GB just to have something new to play with. However, I'm actually pretty happy with my phone, thanks to the community and the roms, themes, and fixes they've put out. That being said, I'll probably still avoid Samsung in the future.

I'm not sure why so many people are trying to pick a fight with you. I didn't read any malice or tone of complaint into what you wrote.

As for the whole "promise" thing I saw come up a couple times: I'm positive that Verizon had flyers/charts out that distinctly said the Fascinate would get froyo by the end of 2010. When people are saying that we were "promised" froyo, I think that's what is being referred to.
[Fascinate General] piizzadude:
the only chart I could find was this one: http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-still-expecting-get-froyo-fascinate-2011

That chart was more than likely 8 months old when it was posted in December (look at the DX, the chart says summer, they didnt get it until late September, that post was from December)

Is there another floating around?

What apps is the lack of Gingerbread preventing you from running?
[Fascinate General] jselden:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...paign=Feed:+PlanetAndroidCom+(Planet+Android)

Granted it is not for our phone or even the US. But it is one step closer to uhh... well really nothing...but still they released something at least.
[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
Great job coming up with that pic. I'm glad someone caught the reference.
[Fascinate General] ace5198:
lmao, maybe if we make 400 more threads begging for GB a star will fall from the sky, and we will have it.. ya know.. we waited for 2.2 for how long.. wait we still are.. get off the GB kick, our devs have made amazing things outta 2.2.. b happy with what you got!! or got suck on ur moms tit!
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
As a business owner I will graciously disagree. A Lowes store in NC was hit by a tornado last week. Lowes is financially assisting employees who lost their home. Is helping these people a good business decision? No, no one will choose lowes over home depot based on the fact they assisted their employees. It is not Tax write off, and they do not profit in anyway. I agree with you that most companies have no morals, but it does not mean they shouldn't and as shown above, some do. And with that I believe we will agree to disagree and get back on point.

Seriously do we need to have this debate again. I want everyone to pull out their phone and just look at it and realize what you are holding. It's just never enough for some people to have one of the best phones in the world.

Hi,

I installed android 2.2 (NAND) on my HD2 yesterday. I did this using MAGLDR first and then an unknown android 2.2 rom with a DAF.exe inside it. Now I want to update 2.2 to CyanogenMod 7 (2.2.3). But the CyanogenMod folder doesn't contain a DAF.exe file.

How can I install it?

Hi guys,

I have a big problem. I want to install this ROM on my HD2, but if i download this file i cant find the DAF.exe so how do I install it now? I already installed HardSPL 2.0.HSPL and I can enter the bootloader screen from MAGLDR. But if i do USB Flasher what must i do on the PC then i only downloaded some mapping with files in it but no .exe files or something like that. Hopefully some1 can help me.

I confused realy hard

I found a old DAF.exe file on my PC but if i use that he install a old android rom i want a new one how do i fix this? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
you have to flash clockworkmod in magldr. then you can flash the rom within cwm. i bet that this is explained in your rom thread. please read the stuff before you flash something.

Does anyone know if there's a good HC keyboard which has the longpress number keys?

I find it annoying to keep having to switch to number mode just to press a number then go back to word typing again.

Especially useful for WPA keys etc. where you have ABC1ABC... etc.

It's one of the things I disliked about the iPhone's keypad, and loved about the Desire's!

Thanks
[Xoom General] burden010:
Try Thumb Keyboard. It's in beta testing just now so you can get it free from here: http://thumb4beta.blogspot.com

I'm using it now and it's brilliant.

Same here, awesome!
[Xoom General] jase33:
Thumb Keyboard is definitely the way to go. There is one in the market but the beta works great and has better key placement.

You can press and hold the number key, slide to the number or symbol you want, then release and it will be back to the alphabet.

Great tip!! Makes life a lot easier! Tried the thumb keyboard but it takes longer to type/find the right keys and the xoom felt a bit too heavy after typing for a while.

Good tip Mikey, thanks.

I find Thumb Keyboard much easier to type and no problems at all finding the correct keys.
[Xoom General] tkess:
With the multi-touch keyboard, you can also hold the ?123 button with your left hand and select the number with your right. You'll still jump back to the main qwerty keyboard.

Goto system folder using root explorer and do the following in your build.prop file

Add a new line

[General Questions and Answers] yeahman45:
I saw NOVA 2 for xperia play and you can play using xperia play gamepad... question is there a way (maybe needs development) to play it on normal android phone e.g. htc desire and map some buttons on physical keys like on a bluetooth keyboard or even desire's physical keys!?? Would be useful for non fully multitouch phones like desire, x10, hd2, etc...

sounds like this needs dev to achieve... just putting up the idea.. you think it wud be possible? that would be awesome imo
[General Questions and Answers] clouds5:
great idea^^ If it would work with keyboard mode it would also work with special Gamepads like the iControlPad for example. Thats a fully working bluetooth gamepad that has all the buttons an xperia play has.
[General Questions and Answers] VladBelsky:
It is definitely possible but I'm not sure if anyone has done it yet. I'll look into it, sounds like a great idea.
[General Questions and Answers] yeahman45:
i think it's possible too.. i have tried "i must run" and "soccer superstars", both games optimized for xperia play.. and i can use the optical trackpad to move and jump in "i must run") and pass in "soccer superstars".. so i think with a gamepad i should be possible to use the gamepad buttons but probably analog will not work...

i am on htc sense, i can't test my wiimote.. if someone can test soccer superstars with a wiimote on desire, it would be great
[General Questions and Answers] yeahman45:
ok lol as noone seems to be willing to try with a wiimote, i flashed a cyanogenmod 7 rom on my desire. I have tried only with one game: soccer superstars and i can confirm that i can play the whole game with wiimote. I can move with wiimote's d-pad and use the three keys A(pass), B(shoot) and S (super shoot) by mapping the keys properly on the wiimote. Might try other games but not much time atm

[Defy General] rusty4ever:
I am clueless about defys ability to run custom roms, as it is said earlier in many forums/threads that defy cant run custom roms. but now cynogenmod 7 is ported to defy. Does this mean that defy is now ready for custom roms???

also whats the difference between proccy 3610 and 3630 besides frequency as both support 720p encoding/decoding and 10.2 flash?
[Defy General] ephumuris:
I'm new too all this but i'm pretty sure the 2nd-init ability through the koreans boot menu mod has enabled us to use roms such as CM7. However we still cannot run custom kernels.
[Defy General] ToTTenTranz:
The Defy never had an OMAP3610, that was a mistake in Motorola's website.

All the Defys have an OMAP3630, clocked at 800MHz. Since it's the very same SoC as the Droid 2 and Droid X, it clocks confortably up to 1.2GHz.

Flash 10.1 isn't related to the SoC, it's enabled by the Android's webbrowser (and now Opera Mobile 11) in Froyo and newer versions, by default it's for SoCs with ARMv7 CPUs (Cortex A8\A9, Snapdragon) but it can be enabled in ARMv6 CPUs (ARM11, most popular being the Qualcomm MSM7227) through modding.

720p recording (encoding) and playback is disabled in all Defys by default.

Through mods, you can enable 720p videos playback in every model (though the Defy's screen is only 854*480).

The newer phones (manufactured in 2011, afaik) have a different camera sensor (old one = green, new one = red, the same as Droid 2) that allows 720p recording. There's a mod for it in the development section, but currently it doesn't work with all ROMs.

If I were you, I'd wait for the CM7 to be final and stable. It'll probably be the best custom ROM around for a while, since it brings all the features and performance improvements from gingerbread.

Hello All :)

I have got a very useful Idea especially for gamers :)

is it possible to let the XPERIA Play to act like a PS3 Controller ???

It would be amazing if possible! ,, especially that the Play keypad is same as the ps3 controller :)

only 2 buttons not there .. "R2 , L2"

The Connection can be made via WiFi :)

Any Interest ? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
That would be really cool ! :)

One thing I hated about the play was that it didnt have HDMI out like the Arc :( Would of been perfect for gaming since you had hardware controls.
[Xperia Play General] arcticmedia:
I second that to bad there is not a HDMI out port to game on the bigscreen like the arc but I think they ran out of space to put it in I guess haha :p

Nah I think it has other reasons that only SE will clarify :)
[Xperia Play General] michelman100:
Theory:

- Broadcasting the PS3's screen to the Xperia play using Wifi

- Using the Xperia as a controller

- Bind the L2 / R2 keys to the music volume buttons or on screen-buttons.

Conclusion: Ability to play PS3 games on the xperia play when you are in possesion of a PS3 = PROFIT !

This would be amazing, but is it possible?
[Xperia Play General] McGinty13:
You can do it with psp:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvkRXa82Vos

Could this possibly be ported to android for the play? Maybe.. :p
[Xperia Play General] Gang_Jordan:
Thanks For Everybody who shown his interest into this! :)

mmm..

The "Broadcasting the PS3's screen to the Xperia play using Wifi" is a little bit hard ,, so let it be in the future :)

"- Using the Xperia as a controller"

Is already the target of this thread and I think it's not a hard job!

You won't even need a screen on the app ,, for example you launch the app

a black background is on screen and controllers shown on ,, Just that's it !

It just need the mapping thing :D

"- Bind the L2 / R2 keys to the music volume buttons"

That's an Awesome idea ! :)

Thanks alot ! :)

Will Post it into the Original Thread :)

[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
A quick double tap on the touch pads could be l3/r3, maybe use the screen for l2/r2 if you need a certain sensitivity?
[Xperia Play General] wickermonkey:
I cant see why this cant be done as i have a nokia n900 which you can use the touchscreen as a pad and have the keyboard working aswell so you can bind some of the keys to the keyboard to make it easier. with most of the button in your hand anyway maybe l3 and r3 which dont get used much could be placed on the touchscreen.
[Xperia Play General] Gang_Jordan:
+1 :)

actually ,, I never knew which kind of connection is between the controller and the receiver :)

At all , Wireless connection will be better ,, if we want the app to be extended ,, to be like more than a controller :)

Such as Broadcasting the PS3's screen to the Xperia play :)

But at first it's better to be bluetooth and then will think about wifi and broadcasting :)

Thanks for the point :)
