>But where are we going?

The only people who can answer that are Google. They've yet to articulate a comprehensive roadmap for Android. The only strategy thus far has been to throw out a freebie to vendors and let them adopt it as they will.

The problem is that what vendors want (differentiation through proprietary enhancements) isn't what the public want (uniform UI, cross-product interoperability). Add to that are gaping holes in basic functionality in Android, like peripheral support--printers, scanners, 3G modems, etc.

I suspect that Goog themselves don't really know. If they did, there wouldn't be overlapping efforts like the Chrome OS (which is apparently DOA for now). Rubin bud needs to figure it out soon.

Win8 beta in Sept will determine the extent of Windows' viability for the mobile space. From simple extrapolation of Win7's capabilities + touch GUI + ARM support, it's a relative safe bet that Win8 will have a big presence in tablets next year.

The picture for Android-on-tabs is more vague. ICS should clarify things a bit, one way or another.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH?
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
The main differentiator between Linux or other free 'nix-likes these days, and Android, is that Android enforces, encourages, and _guarantees_ a standardized uniform development platform, a single UI standard, standardized set of software in the platform, and a standardized user experience.

Linux et al guarantees none of this.

If you want those specific freedoms Linux offers you, then it is there, by all means. The beauty of having open devices like the Xoom and other devices with open bootloaders is you are free to make your choice.
[Xoom General] Giorgist:
I have a feeling that three to six months from now the whole picture will come to bare. We will have the "cloud" and chrome PC, Android phones, Android tablets, TVs, Google+, Google music all wrapped into one. Google is renaming blogger to Google blogs, picassa into Google photo.

It is scary a little but it seems like it is all coming together. It is almost there, each boundary has bumps but me thinks Google is trying to make it seamless.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Your vision for the future of android/tab computing is fantastic. I already have replaced my laptop for the type of on-the-road computing work I need to do...with my bt keyboard and mouse and the cloud, I am creating MS Word documents and printing when back in the office. It's a good start. I use my charging docks when I'm stationary so additional functionality from docking stations and connected peripherals would be welcome. I think the current size of the Xoom is optimal. It needs to stay small enough to haul around easily but big enough to be more than a toy or large phone.

It is already my favored way to consume information...I'm pretty happy with my browsing experience and have no real issues streaming music, video, reading news/books. I think that this will only get better.

my phone rebooted the other day back into stock 2.3.4 grj22

now im trying to find root access again but i cant.

the phone is unlocked but it will not let me run flash clockwork or even flash super user.....

has this happened to anyone or can anyone tell me how to root it again please

thanks
[Nexus S General] pierre1321:
I believe this happened to me also, had used 1 click root. Didn't do it right the 1st time. Second time it stuck. Long story short, try using the root method you used to to root again. If that doesn't work check out 1 click root, make sure you read up on it. Its pretty much automated , but a user like myself might be dislexic and mess it up ;). Make any backups nessesary before hand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiddawg:
Hi peeps. Quick question. I'm not having huge luck with kingdom builds. My phone is having overall performance issues so I'm thinking about go back to the aosp side with cm7. However, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for widgets and themes to give my aosp phone that sense look and experience. The main widgets I'm looking for would be the super clock with weather, preferably with weather animations, the big weather widget, friend stream and the people widget. I have beautiful widgets for the toggles and whatnot, wondering if there is something with a nicer clock though.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Beautiful widgets is (IMO) the best replacement for Sense weather. Actually, I like it better due to the 4x1 widget. Fancy Widget is good too. But i'm curious why you don't like BW.

Launcher Pro Plus is the closest I've found for the rest of the widgets.

Last September when I first got my G1, I had put RC29 on it to activate it over WiFi, and then afterward, I was eventually prompted to install the Android 1.5 update OTA. I had to leave the device on with WiFi turned on overnight until the update came through. After I installed the 1.5 update, I was then also eventually prompted to install 1.6 OTA. It takes some time, just be patient.

[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
I have been trying to pin down battery issues, like many others, and I think I may have found something. Last week I was away on vacation and was able to get 1d+ out of my charge, with medium use, several times. Since returning home I have barely used my phone, but my battery life seems to have diminished drastically. The only thing that I can think of is that, at home, I have a VZW wireless extender (Samsung SCS-26UC4).

Has anyone else noticed increased battery drain when using an extender with the charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Is it a first or second generation network extender? If it's the first gen, then that would be the problem as it doesn't support data connections, so if your phone wanted data, it'd just keep trying and trying.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
I am honestly not sure what generation it is, but that sounds plausible. It's about 2 or 3 years old at this point, so who knows. Guess I'll have to research the model a bit and go from there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] RickNY1971:
Hey guys.. My Shift 4G has been rooted for quite some time, and I had been running CM 7.1 RC1 most recently.. After the past several weeks, I have experimented with various ROMs and Radios.. At one point I did upgrade the radio firmware to 1.08.00.0506 and the WiMax Radio to 27240.

I had also experimented with the rooted 2.76.651.4 Sense ROM posted by x99percent.. I wasn't thrilled with Sense, and ended up going back to CM7.1 RC1.. I also downgraded the radio 1.07.00.1129 and WiMax back to 27167.

Since I was playing around with the various ROMs and Radios, my Shift will never charge above 85%.. I am familiar with clearing batterystats.bin - and had tried various measures to get the battery to charge above 85%.. I used Battery Monitor, and it showed that basically around 85%, the Shift was turning off the internal charging circuit (Current would show usually less than 100mA..)

Thinking that perhaps something was sticking around from my various experimentations, I decided to use the original RUU (RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed) to revert back to stock and start over.

One of the things that came up when I ran the RUU was it showed the current image version as 2.76.651.4.. This was even though my radio was 1.07.00.1129. Does anyone know why that would be reported that way?

I'm currently on the original sense RUU, and now it appears to be charging correctly. Once it does, I'll re-root and go back to CM7.1 RC1.

Thanks,

Rick
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
Makes sense to me.

...and wrong forum.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Once your on the RUU how are you going to root again with a s-on bootloader?
[EVO Shift 4G General] RickNY1971:
Sorry about posting to the wrong forum.. I PM'd the mod to have it moved to Evo Shift 4G General.

The thing that did not make sense to me was the fact that I had restored my Nandroid backup from CM7.1 RC1, and restored the radio with the bootloader to 1.07.00.1129. I ran the RUU against CM7.1 RC1 and radio version 1.07.00.1129.

I used the orignal RUU for Froyo -- not the Gingerbread RUU.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Oh my bad haha. I was about to say...you should be good to re-root then no? I flashed the new radio's manually just fine over cm7. Still on the same radio's and cm7 to this day

Ive read that the gb rom from samfirmware for ace/gio, battery life is improved and more user ram available.

Why don't you try to gather peoples who owns Gio? Instead of asking one who doesn't actually have anything to do with that phone.

One more thing; next time you'll post any of your "Gio" stuff, make it on the main Android general forum, you'll get more chance of getting noticed by fellow Gio users. ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
I have no intention of using the phone as a media server. Anyone know how I can prevent this from draining my battery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
You can try settings>apps and stopping dlna and media server services. but not sure if they won't just restart later.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
Couldn't find this DLNA service you're referring to under Settings>Apps>Running Services. This issue doesn't seem to always exist either. But it did just pop up and this time taking a huge % of my battery use.
[Verizon Droid Charge] skydeaner:
Media server cannot be removed. It is a part of the android central process. WTF is that thing called, i keep botching the order of it but something like android.process.acore

It isn't used to be a mediaserver. In fact part of it controls at least one of the sensors on the phone... maybe the orientation sensing. but at 3 percent, you are doing very good. When people mess it up in custom kernels and whatnot it can freak the hell out and pull like 40 lol.

Anyways, don't worry about it, nothing you can do and 3 percent is awesome.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
3% was over a short period of time. I seen it take up much more as shown in the later pic. But if it can't be removed then I guess I'll just have to reboot the phone when it's draining the battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
It is likely part of services.jar or framework.jar and trying to remove the service would likely be a huge undertaking as it controls anything media related, and some sound events are included in that.

Ya

1.go here

http://www.glassechidna.com.au/

2.scroll down and download both heimdall command line binary for for you linux version (for 32bit linux choose i386/X86, for 64 bit linux choose AMD64/ intel 64

3. Then download hiemdall frontend for whatever linux version u have

4. Install the command line binary deb first then the heimdall-frontend binary

Thanks how you install, now here's how to flash

1. Download the package you want

2. Extract all files including thoose in tar or tar.md5 or whatever

3. Open heimdall by opening terminal and typeing without the quotes "heimdall-frontend"

4. Put all the extracted files in the right boxes

5. Press flash

To make easier

If you don't want to type "heimdal-frontend" in terminal everytime you flash do this

1 right click on desktop

2. Press create launcher

3. Make name heimdall and command heimdall-frontend

4. Make the launcher

5. To open press on the lancher

You should share what speed and voltages you are running at, I figured it would be helpful to give other people ideas of where to begin trying their voltages at for undervolting purposes. So, what's your lowest voltages at the highest clock speeds?
[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
I'm using SetCPU's standard voltages. 1.8/.38 normal, .87/.38 screen off and over 130F, 1.2/.38 battery less than 50%, 1.8/1.2 plugged in. Getting 4-5 more hours per charge!
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
Here's the values I've currently got in my Permatemp Root .bat file (thanks Eugene!): scpll_l_val=24 vdd_uv=1060000

That gives me 1.296 ghz at 1.06 volts. I know 1.3 ghz isn't much of an overclock, but this phone is already so fast (especially compared to my old Hero, lol) that I'm not really craving any more speed ... what I'm most interested in is undervolting for max battery life. From what I've read the stock voltage at 1.2 ghz is 1.18 volts, so I'm a little under that right now. I tried 1.00 and 1.03 volts and got reboots every time, but 1.06 volts runs rock-solid reliable for me at 1.3 ghz.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
is that really even noticable? the LCD draw most of the power typically
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Someone in the OC topic was asking about UV at stock speeds. You're close enough to stock that you should qualify. You should go post your results in that thread too. They'd be happy to see them.

I'm running @ 1.78GHz with a vdd of 1300000. I'm going to try and go lower... maybe 12800000.
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
I have it overclock to 1728mhz but dint know where to adjust the voltage. Does setcpu does this or i need a different program to read voltage/change voltage?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
You adjust the voltage when you type the ADB command to OC. If you're using a script that does it for you, you will need to edit that script and look for the vdd_uv= line.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
What do you mean by "is that really even noticable"? It's certainly calculatable ... it's an 11.3 percent improvement in battery usage by the CPU. If you're saying that's not very much, well, it's all relative. If you're saying you're not interested in saving a little battery when it won't cost you anything to do so, that's fine with me. If you're saying that no power-saving effort is worth any consideration because the LCD is the biggest power draw of all and that's the only one that matters, then why did Qualcomm bother to develop asynchronous cores and low-power audio modules and low-power GPS modules? I mean, hey, the screen is all that matters, right?

Or did I misread your statement? :confused:

Supposedly - the Samsung Galaxy S2 can play 1080P + AC3 MKV's smoothly. But the Evo3D and Sensation lag a bit according to the developer. I tested this file with my evo3D and it looked like my Evo3D stuttered every 3 seconds or so. I'm just wondering if an overclock would smooth out playback - but I haven't installed temproot.

For those of you overclocking just for battery savings, I am currently testing

adb shell insmod /data/local/tmp/8x60_oc.ko scpll_l_val=22 vdd_uv=1003100 and have been stable so far, this is the absolute lowest I can push it at 1.2Ghz on my phone, can anyone else match this or go lower? I think it will be helpful to start establishing these values now so kernel makers will have some ideas of how far they can push our phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
Speed = 1.5GHz.

The default gallery player plays it perfectly, but there's no sound.

RockPlayer plays it very choppily, but has sound.

Dice player plays somewhat smoothly and has sound, but there are lag moments every 3-6 seconds as you said.

It's a software issue.
