You are correct, but manufacturer data is not always realistic in terms of real life use.

On these very forums you can find many instances of amoled and even super amoleds with burn-in.

Take the above post as an example.

Because it's Motoblur.

I have yet to find one positive use of MB...
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
A good use of MOTOBLUR? Maybe, and im just guessing here, if some klepto takes your phone and swaps sims they have to deal with more bs and inconvenience if they really want to use your phone. And the other plus is you don't have MOTOBLUR anymore. And uuuh a phone either.

Sent from the coolest phone ever.
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
i was just running 2.2 with static wallpaper, and motoblur was very smooth swiping homescreens. on 2.3.4 its much more choppy and jagged. so they DID have it decent enough previously..

Had the same issue, on the fb profile hit menu - edit

It will say you cant edit but hit menu again and you will have the option to "join" contacts.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBrian420:
I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet 7'' and I installed Application Protection. Well I forgot the password and now I can't access any of the settings or most of the apps. I really don't want to hard reset it because I have alot of stuff that I will loose that is not on the sd card. I have used adb before on my droid x but unfortunately usb debugging is not enabled on my tab to access it. I can't enable it in the os. The only unrestricted access I have to my knowledge is the recovery console, which allows me to factory reset(last resort) or update.zip. I have been playing with an update.zip creator script and was wondering is there a way to enable usb debugging with an update.zip or more likely remove the application protection app with an update.zip.

Is it possible to delete this app with an update.zip. I believe this app is stored in data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk

I would appreciate any help...

Brian
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBrian420:
Can I create an update.zip to remove an app on my phone?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Can you uninstall the app or do you not have access to the Market?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
if you are rooted , just go through data and then find your app name , or just search by root explorer with your app name and then after root explorer find it delete it

or if you have the androidSDK and you are not rooted just download the software called QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs

and then use it to brows your files at least to take them all out ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBrian420:
Unfortunately I have basically no access on my tab because I lost the password to Application Protection and it has everything restricted. I also don't have root access or I would be able to remove the app very easily. I also can't use adb unless I can figure away to enable usb debugging, but can't access the settings due to Application Protection app. I know exactly where the app is stored on the phone but can't get into the directory because I don't have root access.

The only thing that I can use to my knowledge is update.zip in recovery and again I don't have root so I just have the basic recovery menu. I tried making an update.zip to install an app but couldn't get it to work.

What I really want is to make an update.zip to delete data/app/com.ruimaninfo.approtect-1.apk

It's definately a challenge and I will keep working on a way to remove it.

I did find that I have ANDFTP with unrestricted access that does allow me to delete any files in the system but again doesn't show anything under data/app folder because I don't have root access. Maybe the data for the app is stored elsewhere?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Power and volume up key takes you to recovery. Then you can do a factory reset, which wipes all installed apps and user data.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBrian420:
Thanks, but I know how to do a factory reset. I am trying to fix this without loosing everything.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Can you use adb to make your back up? Then reset?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naimmkassim:
Woww...you guys blown my mind away. :) Nice, keep up the discussion and I would like to know more from those genius people here :D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
why you don't ask the dev of the app ? sure he got (secret password)

or just download the software i mentioned above and you'll solve it in seconds
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
here is what i found

Keep your private app/data in secure before allow other people use your phone

Application Protection help to protect applications and data in case other people or child get your phone to:

* install some app or malware you don't want to

* see your private info you don't want to share

* change setting of your phone by accident

(Note: lock behavior can be changed in setting to save effort to unlock)

* send email to configured email box after input wrong code 10 times

(IMPORTANT: Default setting is to send email to mobile@ruimaninfo.com in case of user lost the code. Strongly recommend user to set your email box in setting)

read it , its in the app info
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBrian420:
Tried that too but unfortunately didn't set a email either and developer isn't returning any of my emails either.

Update.zip has gotta be my only chance without reseting my phone.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gi11i4m:
So, did it work? Because I have a similar problem: I'm locket out of a Lifetab from a friend of my brother. The only difference is, I know the password, but the Android keyboard kept force closing, so I disabled it. Then without thinking I rebooted.

Is there a way to enable that app again trough adb, or did you succeed in making an update.zip that resets the password?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Hi,

I am tired of my current WP7, its almost 4 months now and their has been no major development in the APP market scene.. everyone just release initial app and than forget about it with no updates and no improvements.. the Gaming market scene of Xbox is pretty much dead too with no new fun game, I had pretty bad experience with Sonic which is practically unplayable and other boring games which have started coming out recently.. it seems Xbox is releasing games just for the heck of it.. ex: geodefence and tentacles.. boring not worth paying which are like free in android market..

I am really getting inclined to give up my WP7 and switch to Android now and buy Galaxy S2.. its has some plus points and some minus points:

Plus:

I can expand my memory.

Looks better.

Its Smoled 'Plus'.

It might have better battery? I am not sure about this.

Established Android market.

Minus:

Its too big for my pocket.

No ZUNE Pass like service.

I have to give up my Achievements Score and I dont know if they have anything similar to this.

I have never used Android and have never seen one ever before.. its completely new to me and I dont even know where is the settings option, I dont know if I will like it after using WM6.5 and now WP7 for last 7 years. I have seen Iphone before and used it for like a week, but never spend even 20 secs with an Android phone.

With all the hype surround MANGO which I am waiting for, I dont think Microsoft will release any major update after that for a really long time.. If this MANGO dosent work and the APP and GAMES Marketplace dosent become more vibrant than it is right now.. than I am thinking this WP7 could just become a device for people could not afford phones like Iphone and GALAXY S2, like a second option, a second choice market, which I am scared of.. I want to own the best and not the second choice.. and right now it seems GALAXY S2 with its ANDROID thing is the best phone in market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Hmm. Not sure if I quite get where you're coming from with the apps and games thing. Over the last month, a ton of apps, big names and small, have come to the platform. A ton more coming and updated post-Mango. I mean, the market will most likely hit 30k apps soon. I don't have, nor do I use, 30k apps on my phone, not to mention the 100k+ or 400k+ of android and iphone, respectively.

Also, I'm pretty sure that every installed app, or almost every installed app, on my phone has seen an update... several at that. So, I missed you on the "no updates and no improvements" part. Are there specific apps that YOU are missing, or need that you can't find in the windows marketplace?

Games-wise, well that's a matter of preference. Games you find boring, others may find greatly exciting. For example, one recent game which has come to the platform that I like is Arcane Tower Defense. It's a fantasy version of the classic tower defense genre with some twists.

I also like little games like Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix and her Nightmare. But, after Mango there will be many games including multiplayer fighting games, RPGs, you name it, real time and turn-based.

As to the GS2. I haven't used it personally. I do know you can't get xbox live benefits like achievments, however. I'm sure somebody else here is more informed on the phone than I. I hear it's a killer phone, though. And, there may also be a WP7 version of the phone as well.

But, dig around a bit and check out the apps that have hit the marketplace in the last month or so as well as the games. I think you may be pleasantly surprised. Then again...
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
They are on a yearly cycle for major updates, like pretty much everyone else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I am finding it increasingly difficult to do business with this phone, its been so long and yet their is no decent Calendar App like Pocket Informant. The built in calendar app is very basic, I want to create recurring appointment on every first Tuesday of a month which was possible on PI8 but not here.

I miss Apps like SPB Diary which let me scroll my entire contacts and entire days appointments right from the front screen, and SPB Pocket Plus which basically was what Android is right now, a choice of multiple home screens with one app, thats what SPB Pocket Plus was.

I want Resco Audio Recorder which auto recorded all my incoming and outgoing calls, not because I want to spy but because if someone tells me large reference number on phone I dont have to tap and write at that moment, I could just say go ahead i am writing it down, and later I would just play back that call and note down what was that number.

I want the missing file explorer which is their present in android right now.

Metratrader 4 app for real time live trading execution in currency and stocks right from your phone, nothing like that exists in WP7, I know we have it for Iphone I dont know about android..

We say we have so many number of apps and things like that, but look at the top 10 PAID apps in each of the categories..

Business:

6 are language learning, 3 are business cards, 2 are time tracker and one to tie knots...

Tools and Productivity:

2 flashlights, 1 night clock, 1 air horn, 1, dog whistle, 1 that saves pic in pdf format and calls itself 'scanner' (very poor scanning my direct camera photo is better than their PDF it include handy scan app too), 2 remote desktop (10 USD each)..

Personal Finance:

7 budget software (all exactly same, just store your spending, nothing else, useless, nothing like SPB Finance), remaninf 4 are market watch apps which all just does the same thing which is stream rates of top 10 cos from yahoo or google.. , no decent wallet app like CODEwallet Pro where we could create nice cards from desktop and sync it to wallet on phone, no actual trading app.. nothing..
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Sounds like Android is a better fit for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Yep. Agreed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
In this kind of needs and preferences better try Android. WP7 is not really meant for this type of usage. This is what I have found for myself and while WP7 started to be frustrating after few months, Android solved everything for me in every respect.

I also want to see Mango and keep my Optimus 7 however some things are still not in the pipeline, like file explorers, USB docs/email sync and some apps like Opera Mini... And I'm afraid there won't by alternatives for core apps of WP7 either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nakazul:
I understand your points well. I would also suggest that

Android is the right choise.

Just another way to look at things i would like to mention is, maybe most of the things you miss is just ways you USED to work with your phone? What ever WP is, its a new way to interact with your phone. For a old WM user like me, it was very wierd in the start, and i felt naked. I got used to it thou and currently having a replacment Android phone, while my current device is in for service. And now i miss my WP. It's strange how you miss the cow's afterwards.

Im staying with WP.

Just some thoughts from another side.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tmak22:
um..

I was thinking the same thing about switching to android, but I wont abandon wp all together. I'll give it a good year to mature
[Windows Phone 7 General] madphone:
We have omnia7 and galaxy s. Of course the galaxy s fits better to my hardcore needs because it has al lot more options and you have a lot of custom roms and so on. BUT sometimes I'm really jealous about Omnia 7 perfect materials. And android is never as perfect designed as wp7. Android and its tons of different launchers is looking like an evolution of symbian and iOS. WP7 is something fresh and easy. Its what a phone is ment to be: a very easy and fast (internet) communication device. Not an overfilled little laptop.

So it's your choice: easy to use and well designed Omnia7 or a powerful plastic (gaming-)device with childish looking interface.

By the way: mango is awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
The galaxy s II is one of the finest android phones available. If you're looking for a feature set more similar to the old windows mobile ( and it sounds like you are), then Android is truly your best option.

Microsoft doesn't want a "complicated" phone platform anymore. They want consumer-facing, easy to use, social media and entertainment oriented with the ability to handle corporate e-mail, calendar and document editing if you need it in a pinch.

I doubt we're going to see anything like file managers or similar anytime soon, if at all.

I owned a Galaxy s II before selling it to a friend who needed a new phone, and I would purchase the device again in a heartbeat if I decided I wanted to use android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Yeah I'm pretty sure we won't. Hell, even desktop operating systems may be moving away from file managers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yeah maybe in 2050. You must be kidding. For any profi usage these are the basics.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I will give this phone a try till December, if nothing comes up in the APP scene better than what it is at present than I will switch to Android perm for good.. I am not the one who keeps two phones or keep migrating from one to another OS frequently.. I just choose the best and stay with it for a long time..

i desperately need a better calendar app for appointments.. this whole wide calendar tile is just a wasteful eye candy which i have come to realize.. auto call recording which i guess with the absence of file explorer will never come to wp7.. i want to make my phone a USB on the Go like thing, a pen drive... 16 GB of total storage is too small..

I dont know how microsoft thinks they make a 3 horse race with these features missing.. its basically a two horse race, racing in front and a 3rd horse limping behind to catch the bets by people made by error ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You have very specific requirements that the average user doesn't care about. Recording phone calls without consent isn't even legal in many states.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Yep. Microsoft isn't gearing this phone toward the likes of the geeks and tech nerds that frequent this forum. The average user makes up the majority of users, thus the demographic Microsoft seeks to lure to WP7.

As far as what you need, you will find that some of these things will come to WP7 like various calendar apps due to the vast number of APIs made available by MS.

You may also find that some of these things may never come or may not come for quite some time. I, for one, hope to never see a file explorer on WP7.

The fact is, this isn't android and that's a good thing. Each has its own role to play and fits in where they fit in. If WP7 had been around back in 2008 as the alternative to ATT and the iphone, android would most likely be a niche device for the above geeks and tech nerds.

That being said, only Android will fully fill your present and perhaps future needs.

Good luck. Whichever direction ya go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
That's one of the things that I was thinking about as I read what he wanted to do. Unfortunately, Mango only allows for read-only access to the Contacts and Appointments. The only way to create an app like that (that actually integrates with the existing calendar app) would be to make the changes in the cloud and let the phone sync like normal. I guess you could always have a 100% standalone calendar app though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I also want to say that the inability to expand memory using SDHC card will restrict many companies to bring their larger good graphics game to WP7... I have 16GB but I know their are people with only 8GB memory and they cannot expand it..

Now checkout this game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CwSedSzckE&feature=relmfu

It looks a very heavy game by memory wise , if we want games like this on WP7 than 8GB device is a very small handset to have several of this kind of game.. I dont think gameloft can bring such games to WP7 with current restrictions on expandable memory..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
****ty textures.. probably fits into the 400-500mb range.

The iphone version weighs in at 511MB..

You should probably get the SGS II and be done with it. You're not likely to find a better android device this year, and android will serve your purposes better than WP7.

It'll play 1080p h264 video in a mkv container without re-encoding.. and supports HDMI out using a MHL adapter.

Even with Mango's new APIs, you're not going to get the same level of functionality that you're looking for.

1. WP7 apps are not written using native code, they use silverlight, XNA or a combination of the two

2. There will never be a file manager or a task manager

3. There is no bluetooth file transfer

4. No Expandable storage

5. Small number of applications (this will be less of an issue as time goes by.. the marketplace is growing fairly rapidly)

6. Limited hardware options

7. No true multitasking (applications don't run constantly in the background until they are exited.. they do on android)

8. No Usb mass storage
[Windows Phone 7 General] htc9420:
I have both devices.

Maybe i can help you a bit.

I do have both devices (+ I have some more:D). It was part of the benefits of my last job and also part ( almost a requirement) of my actual one.

- If you switch to Android from Wp7 you feel like going back to WinMO a bit. Tons of Rom's,tons of walpapers but milligrams if you need help.

- The greatest benefit of WP7 is the unified platform. Maybe you don't realize it atm, but for 99% of people I've spoken to, it's a deal breaker.

- Not, I repeat, not my solely opinion: everything onscreen with Omnia7 looks better than on SGS2. People always want to tinker with the Omnia7 when I put both phones on the table (sometimes I carry the IPhone 4 with me also).

- SGS2 is literally bloated with redundant crapware. If you guys have ever bought a Sony Vaio in 2008-2010, this is worse.

- SGS2 takes mindblowing photos and FullHD videos (that they don't look like shot through a fishbowl).

-there are some neat tricks bundled on SGS2 but nothing you can't dl from market for free.

-battery is on par.

-voice commands are better on WP7.

-SGS2 feels like under development. 16bit graphics + wake up lag...for amoled+ and dual core? WTF?

- WP7 is more on the legal side, harder to sideload stolen/cracked apps. On android, on the other hand, you get hundreds of forums just for that.

If you have more questions I'd be happy to answer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Sell your phone now

From what I read you want your phone to do, waiting for December won't make you more happy than now. I'd say waiting is pointless as WP7 still won't be doing these things in December. Spare yourself a few months of suffering and make the switch now.

I'm personally happy with WP7 as long as Mango fixes push notifications and I don't miss any of the old stuff I used to have with Winmo 6.5 (except the ability to backup at anytime).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I really dont want to switch to Android because of the reasons posted in post above yours.. and because of the following additional reasons:

1. The WP7 keyboards.

2. ZunePass to which I am annual subscribed and zuneplayer which is great. The music player on phone is great too and I am a music buff.

3. Xbox feature, I love the G Score concept and have already invested a lot of time and money on it. I like unlocking Achievements, it makes my game playing more fun.

I want to use my device atleast for few months after mango and see if I like it, i just hope they make their cloud service stronger so that i dont miss file explorer, i heard they are launching new office hub from mango.. i also hope we see more intelligent meaningful apps, specially in tools, productivity and business sections which aim to make it a smart phone and make life easier, not the current air horns and flash lights kind of junks..

as for my calendar problem i am trying to switch to using desktop google calendar more and more now and just sync it with my phone and make sure they send me email of daily appointments so that i dont miss my 2nd appointment (it shows only one appointment on live tile)..

basically i am trying to adjust because i like the rich look of wp7 and dont want to own the battered android device ..

my zunepass subscription will expire in may next year, if we dont see any major improvment in app market scene atleast or if the google music scene really develops and they have something better than zune than i will switch than for good, but i wanna hang on till than.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
I've put both of them on top of each other and surprisingly the Galaxy S2 is the same size as the Omnia 7.

It just make better use of the space for that giganormous screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
1. Gingerbread keyboard is exactly the same as WP7 keyboard, minus the looks.

2. ZunePass, good luck waiting on Google music. However there are a ton of other services.

3. Gamer points, there is Openfeint, and Gamelofts mobile services. Which offer not only comparing but real multi-player cross platform gaming. They have unlocks, and gamer scores. If you want to chat with your XBL buddies there is an app for that. Plus Microsoft won't allow violent/gory games, they remove them from the market. Which sucks and really is a double standard.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Microsoft didn't allow gory games because of the lack of parental controls. This is coming in Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
You choice, we don't hate you about it.

You can find it yourself a suitable platform that is most useful and joyful for yourself.

I know i have Windows Phone 7 for my life. I am enjoying my life with Mango on HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Wow, I didnt knew that.. that phone looks a lot bigger than SO7.. like HTC HD7 phones..

Maybe its because Android dosent have than 1CM space on top and right of the front screen reserved like in WP7.. I am guessing when we actually get into gaming screen and start a game the actual display screen size should be more or less same for both device???
