I use webtop hack for hulu and streamings sites all the time. But I have $ 25 3mb/s internet service so I could "cut the cable" on cable tv and save money. I want full linux on webtop but waiting for an easier script hack hopefully.
[Atrix 4G General] quinto0827:
i use mines about every day. especially since the webtop hack came out.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I show people at work where the future is going. I don't actually use the webtop cos' I have a nice laptop! :D

I do however firmly believe that inside 5 years we will not be carting laptops around for work when travelling. A lot of hotel rooms have hi-def televisions already, and I think that inside 5 years we will be hauling a cellphone on trips along with a roll up bluetooth keyboard and wireless mini bluetooth mouse, using the televisions in hotel rooms as monitors while we work on Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and who knows what else. ****, there is even an AutoCAD application now.

So, in essence, I use webtop to show off and say "your iPhone can't do this"!

Okay thank you for the quick answer. It seems you are running Cyanogenmod 7 as well, how is battery life for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephung23:
Would the app Battery Calibrator be the issue when i used it in Cyanogenmod. Could that be the reason i had subpar battery life?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgu71424:
Well my question is basically how can I flash a different ROM without always starting from 1.26 and use gladroot then update and update again then the updated ROM or a new ROM?

thanks :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC Lemon:
Once you've installed a rom using CWM you can just use CWM to flash a different rom.

If you want to be a little more cautious, you could use CWM to create a back up before flashing a rom. Then you can just restore to the back up and then flash the new rom.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgu71424:
So I wipe first then install the new ROM or can I just install from sd?

Thanks :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC Lemon:
I created a backup before flashing a rom so I restore to that backup and then flash the new rom.

I think you could skip that step and just flash the new rom right over the old rom, but I prefer to stay safe and flash after restoring.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgu71424:
Great thanks :-)

I want to gift one to my dad; he's really keen on an iPad 2, but I want him to get the best one in the market so that it makes that device look like crap. :P

I believe the 10.1 will be available next month and I'm pretty sure the best Honeycomb tablet is one of these two; the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

So anyone who's had a hands on, or knows about the two, maybe you guys could give a comparison...?
[General Questions and Answers] davidoe:
I had the Xoom on my hands and works super great, the tegra nvidia Dual core procesor works super fine, both cameras has a pretty resolution, but i ask because the Galaxy tan 10.1 has the bests displays and that got me undecided. I think the Xoom is better for a faster graphics and the galaxy for better display resolution. Let me know if this helps you

I was all set to buy an XOOM, but now that the Galaxy tab is coming out i think im gonna wait. Im most likely going to go with the Xoom but I wanna make sure I made the right choice first. The galaxy tab 10.1 will be skinned and i like my android pure. The Tab 10.1 is said to be lighter and not as bed with the finger prints, Ive played with the xoom a number of time and I really like it. Cost will also be a factor for me. The Xoom is a bit pricey, and though its completly worth it I wanna see and wait if i can get the same features with a smaller price tag.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
Im using 3GS right now and will either upgrade to a WP or IP4/5, I am sick of Android feeling like its still in a beta stage and freezing, closing apps, lagging no matter what phone. Anyway back when I used the focus the UI was amazing! But it was missing features...IOS is great! Time for some new features though imo, has WP7 been upgraded to more features? And how long will those updates last for the current WP's? What in your opinion is the best WP? And ultimatly what do you think is better? Hopefully Apple announces what IOS5 will be like. I really like WP7 but it felt like it needed time to get more features and some Apps were not optimized properly(ebay) but wow! That os is like butter! If it keeps getting features I may have to go WP! Especially if IOS5 is the same old, But for now I guess I gotta stay IOS.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
maybe you should wait until fall or september,then both iphone 4s and major updates for WP7 are released,that time you can make a better comparison.which phone to buy...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
The Fall Update to WP is a pretty big one, and new hardware will come out with it so I'd wait. The OS as it is, is to me the best designed out there, and the features people have been aching for are almost all coming with Mango (the fall OS update). Its going to be pretty nice, but ultimately up to you what you like most.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
you've already pointed out that ios is complete and mature, try a friends phone around christmas and see if wp7 updates are all they're claimed to be...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defining:
the iPhone/iOS really is matured. You know where the saying comes from "There is an app for that".

I am still missing a lot of apps I was using on the iPhone, which are not (yet) available for WP7. But I really like the look of feel of WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Wait for Mango if you like simplified device working more or less without any trouble

and you don't miss some basics. The UI is consistent and very easy.

For more sophisticated and better equipped device look somwhere else.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TIGGAH:
IMO the UI on Wp7 blows iOS out of the water. It's simple yet still highly functional. I keep making my older and less technical users go to WP7 devices. They all seem to love it and I see them on their phones all the time - I'm sure their productivity is tanking lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Ignorance is Bliss, as they say.

But I'd wait until Mango and IP5 is our and make a more informed decision.

Right now WP7 can't hold a candle to iOS, but the update will be big. Unfortunately it's months off so you'll have to use a phone that has 30+% less functionality than your 3GS and many showstoppers (and lack of Apps) if you upgrade NOW.

I'd wait.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3wt3d:
Wait for iPhone4S/5 and WP7 Mango update, and then decide. You might look into Samsung Galaxy SII as well, it's very fast. Maybe more device coming out with Dualcore/Quadcore that improves Android. WP7 is still in beta stage imho.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamreal:
I've been using wp7 since October when I replaced my 3gs, and I've missed nothing so far.and that's been very honest, the thing is all I use to use on the iPhone was Facebook eBay satnav n a few more apps so the 300k appstore didn't matter to me. You've gotta think about the features and apps u need. Upgrading to wp7 guarantee u mango update regardless of the handset you choose.

Marketplace is already pretty good considering dev's cant create certain apps yet (Mango SDK will have all the 1500+ API's available, many of which will be used to create these lacking apps).

If you are looking for heavy modification, it may not be the platform for you, but people will definitely be modding it. Just not the extent WM & Android users are probably used to.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidkevin:
I went with the iPhone4, Im still gonna wait and see how WP7 goes and see what Apple does with IOS5, then I can make my Dec with what I want, but Ive heard from a lot of news sources that WP7 is doing pretty bad in sales and that its really not catching on at all, hopefully it dosnt go the way of the Kin phones...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhadabas:
As some have already said, I would probably wait for the Mango update and iPhone 5 before making the decision. I got a WP7 and I really enjoy it, but I think to make a fair choice, you should wait to pick between the two.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
They are doing it as quickly as possible. Its a major change at Nokia, it doesn't happen overnight. Nokia is planning for a late 2011 release of their first phone(s), and they are planning a whopping 12 devices (rumored so far) in 2012 running wp7 (including a dual core N8 version with a 12MP high optics camera). They will be using both qualcomm chips and SE dual core chips according to forbes.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shashanka:
Noob here. I brought my desire hd a month ago and so far im really satisfied with what this device can do.

In my old Nokia I used to use ovi maps which used to show my current location and the route I need to take very accurately, something I find lacking on my desire. Google maps seems to show my location accurately only when the data connection is on.. with only gps on,it doesn't seem to pin point my location at all !is there no turn by turn navigation available?

I understand there are advantages to rooting such as getting tethering which doesn't come out of the box on other phones.. but if I do not want to try out other roms what other reasons are there to root since I have tethering right out of the box

?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
You do know this is a Desire not a Desire HD forum.

Rooting allows you better control to your phone. An analogy would be a car with a sealed engine bay. Unlock that and you can fiddle with engine settings to get a more suitable "beast".

You can add/remove system apps (which is not a good idea unless you really know what you're doing) and it is a pre-requisite when you try to install custom recovery, S-OFF or custom ROMs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You do realise that there is a navigation app that comes with Google Maps right? And I also believe that with the Desire HD you have HTC Laputa which is HTC's own maps and you don't need a data connection for that. Tbh, Google Maps is really powerful if you know how to use it.

Lol that's a bit much don't you think. I understand hdd to Atrix but hdd to Atrix to tv lol wouldn't it be easier to connect your pc to the tv or laptop/netbook to tv? But anyways lol I can only assume mini usb to micro usb would work but im not sure if the Atrix has the capability to read something via usb as all if features are for output not input. But I could be wrong guess it wouldn't hurt to look for a male male mini to micro cable

But thats just my 2 cents :)

[Atrix 4G General] fernandoavc:
I dont get why its so "bit much"... for me theres no explanation a phone have support for 1080p and can't handle files bigger than 2gb (cause the fat32 support only)....

A external HD could provide the support for those files and you could be using that as a player with the Entertainment Center... unfortunatelly I dont have a HD Multimedia Dock with the USB ports... had anyone tried to plug an external HDD ?

can you plug an external hdd to the lapdock ?

if the answer is yes .... then it might be possible
[Atrix 4G General] Tao_Man:
It would be interesting, but you can get a box to play video from a usb drive for under $100 so once you factor in the time and trouble it is probably just cheaper to go buy a roku or wdtv or something like those.

looking it up you can get an external hdd to work with laptop or hd dock so you should be able to in theory too with just the phone, but with the fat32 limits of 4gb max per file, that kinda cuts down on the size of HD video you can play
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Okay deep breath.

Short answer: Yes. Get your wallet ready.

Your asking several different questions.

Can I connect my ext usb?

This is an interesting question, i would like to know the answer as well. There is only one way to find out. Plug it up! You need a female usb to male micro usb to do this I imagine. At Google IO one of the announcements was that Ice Cream Sandwich will have the drivers or whatever needed to connect any usb built in.

Please nobody post or go start a new thread saying "when do we get ICSOMGWTFBBQ?".

Can i play movies from the Atrix to the tv?

Yes. Google TV. I heard Kevin Bacon loves it. Its very simple, whatever app you in: share< Google TV< enjoy

Can i play movies from the hdd to the tv?

Yes. You need a tv that has that feature, many do.

Alternatively, a dlna certified router w hdd capabilities will stream anything to anything else dlna certified. Your atrix is dlna, you have an app for that. Is your tv dlna? If not you can buy one, then use the Atrixs dlna to control the streaming of your hdd routers dlna to your dlna tv.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherBoo:
Hi everyone,

Just got my TF, and I'm loving it. I think it's a fantastic device and I can't wait to order my keyboard soon. That being said, there are still some, "issues," (more like minor annoyances) that I'd like to get resolved, hopefully before next Monday when I have a 4 hour plane trip.

1) YouTube skipping.

I notice when watching YouTube in fullscreen HQ, it seems like the video is constantly skipping. Is there any fix for this?

2) Live wall paper DESTROYS performance.

Not sure if there is a fix for this, but I was running a wall paper (might have come with Beautiful Widgets, not sure if it's stock) that changed based on the current forecast, and the sun and the moon would move based on the time. I noticed I was getting extremely bad transitions and disabled the live wall paper, and sure enough they went away.

I'm just surprised that a wall paper could destroy performance like that. Is there some sort of performance measure I could take?

3) Need a folio case (Accessories thread seems rather unresponsive)

I really want a 'folio type case. Having to hold the tablet for 4 hours would really kill the experience for me, especially if I'm using it to watch a movie or something.

I've read some very bad things about the Asus one, and I don't want to drop $50 if I'm going to replace it in a few months when more accessories come out. I've thought about a desk stand, but that seems very inconvenient for travel with.

One way or another, I need a way to protect it in my bag while traveling. If I can't find a decent folio case, I'll buy a cheap sleeve, but then I need a way to prop it up. Any suggestions?

----------------

Other than that, everything is pretty issue free. I guess I should consider myself lucky based on some of the things people are reporting.
