To be fair, it's xda-developers, so by extension of your logic we only be talking about development related to O2-branded devices built by HTC running WinMo?

The point is that times change - over the years, as the membership has grown the ratio between "consumers" and "creators" has got much wider. The spirit of the site is broadly the same, but the audience has changed.

The vast majority of that audience basically don't know what they are talking about when they first join, but by making an effort and joining in a discussion, they learn a great deal, and eventually are able to contribute back, whether it by "devving", or by offering support and advice.

In the case of this particular thread, since Roach and Fabio have settled their differences, perhaps we should all take note and do the same!

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lemack:
BTW, it's been two freaking days at most, and some of that time his thread was pulled. Chill out, he'll get it out.--------------------------------

My point exactly 2 days while he waits to see what Roach and the others do.

ITS JUST MY OBSERVATION

I am so sorry if you miss the boat, my friend. reread my post I

like them both

. I USE THEM BOTH. Why dont you offer some support and encouragement to them both before this become a damn war over nothng. Its the Moderator and others who has access to this page that reserves the right to shut some one down if they think they are in violation. I try all of the roms I give great praise to the the DEVS and Mods because we need them against the manufacturers who do lock things down. And we cant have our best devs feeling unappreciated like you are purporting in your defence, I am asking that Fabio communicate better with Roach and others so they dont feel like he is copying their work. IT JUST LOOKS that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
We really don't need more copy/paste ROMs. Forking a project to add a single feature which is already available via customizing the forked ROM is retarded.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerdog:
Closing this thread as it has served no useful purpose other than to post worthless stuff when you have no idea of what actually transpired, nor should you.

This is a developer board FOR developers, and as such we much err on the side of the Developer and in this case I saw some examples and questions that needed to be answered and until those were answered (and might I say quite amicably) the ROM needed pulled. So. Enough said.

And if you want to know why and for whom XDA exists, read the XDA Mantra.

lots of people have had the issue but hey are getting an error 16 or something. your's sounds like it could be fixed the same way. I couldn't send texts either.
[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
Yup. Just Happened to me. Just make a call and let the message play a couple times, within a min or so a rep will answer, verify ur account info and they will cal u on another phone and have u turn off ur 3vo for a couple mins as they fix the issue. I think its just a refresh, worked like a charm tho, no hassles.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
I had the same issue. I just went on Sprints website, signed in to my account then I added my OG Evo back to the line, (took like 30 seconds) then I waited a couple minutes and added the 3vo back to the line. Round about way to reactivate the 3vo but hey sprint customer service was closed. So if you hav an old sprint phone laying around this will work too. Good luck

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Luisit0:
I'll probably be changing to AT&T and the Infuse 4G, coming from Sprint and an Evo 4G. I know I wont se anything like sense, besides the LauncherPro Sense Theme, and Sense is something I will greately miss a lot :'( but I just want to know what other features I might not see on the Infuse, and if possible also the benefits from switching. Also, is android 2.3.3 available for it? Cause I've been told its still on 2.2. And finally, testing an Infuse at an AT&T store I was unable to download music, it said the file was not supported (an mp3 file...) can the phone download music?? Or will I have to transfer music from my pc?

Sorry for all the questions, but those are the only thoughts/doubts keeping me from switching today as soon as stores open. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you might miss not having an FM radio. and the hdim requires An adapter that you might forget to carry. there is 2.3.3 on the Rogers infuse, soon the firmware will be flashable to the att infuse. now there is a custom rom beta and the final version is in there works that is 2.3.3

the mp3 problem is something that i haven't experienced but some people report it as an issue if the phone is on too long it starts giving file not supported error, i don't know why but i don't have that problem. this phone actually supports more codecs and wrappers than phones from any other manufacturer without 3rd party software. you can definitely download music too it. it also has a hifi headphone amp. multimedia is basically the focus of this and the galaxy s line.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Once you've realized the negative performance impact Sense had on your phone you probably won't miss it either.

Sense was a massive improvement for Windows Mobile phones. It was a minor improvement to the early Android user interface, but these days it's just a bloated step backwards.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
as far as 2.3 goes, there is a beta rom in the dev section, and there is also an official AT&T update coming in the next few weeks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gregj100:
I too came from Sprint / Evo 4G. Here are the pros / cons as I see them, in order of importance to me.

Pros

Battery life

Thin form factor

Weight

Screen

Network speed

Voice / data simultaneously

Cons

GPS

Game compatibility

Speaker volume
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
I agree. I had the inspire and the whole sense experience while really cool seemed like a huge resource hog. Couple that with htc already crappy battery and the phone can't even last a day. Sorry but I really don't need all that bloat that is sense.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
BTW, the Gingerbread ROM seems to have MAJOR GPS performance improvements in my opinion.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Mine is kinda being poopy today long lock waits
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
lets wait on a better release with a fully working kernel, gps didnt work for me at first. i got mine working good by starting with the jz3 mod and changing a few things, it wouldn't seem to work without secure socket on the supl settings enabled, i took the last two lines out of the gps.conf from jz3.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ghostdogg:
Only thing I have to add is that the inability to download certain file types may be compounded by the infuse but is also a known froyo issue.

The best work around I've seen for the majority of people is to install astro file manager and then in preferences check the box labeled "enable browser download".

Step by step... install astro, open it, press menu button, scroll down to "Enable browser download", check that and press the back button until you've exited the app. This will act much like the built in download manager in gingerbread. If you have trouble locating downloads that used to go to the tapatalkxdapre folder look in the normal download folder.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
I agree as well. The first time you use Sense, it's like wow:eek:! Look how beautiful it is. After you try something else, you'll like how clean it is and how much the bells and whistles bog the device down. I now call Sense bloat :).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i dont think sense is beautiful at all. it has a cool weather widget, that's it. the launcher is ugly, the menus have too many options, the colors are ugly, too many greys, really outside of the widget i dont see anything about sense that says wow. thoguh vanilla android was pretty gross untill gingerbread came out. touch wiz is ok but i like the hybrid of tw3+tw4 icons+aosp status bar and icons in gtg's rom. that should be what the phone looks like out of the box. and there should be some better widgets.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
So essentially you're calling sense....non...sense...?

/rimshot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
agreed. And what's the deal with sense having a "customize" icon in that bottom part when you have the menu button just below it that takes you to the same thing?!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zorachus:
Can you wait just a bit ? Samsung is releasing the Galaxy S2 on ATT sometime in August or early September the latest.

That phone will be much better than the Infuse, plus have tons of developers supporting.

I might switch to the S2 on ATT too, Sprint's service is really going down. 3G speeds are super bad, like 100k/sec at times in Chicago. And 4G if you can keep a signal is the slowest 4G compared to Verizon's LTE and ATT HSPE

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Luisit0:
Well first off, i want to thank everybody for their replies, and second appologize for not replying Ive been a little bussy :P, so after reading all of the replies and asking around ppl who switched to the infuse, Im more convinced than ever that it wont be any dissapointment in any aspect to get an infuse since it would practically be an upgrade. For the speaker, ill miss my Evo's since its sooooo loud, I use the PowerAmp EQ and an app called Equalizer and it really boosts the volume, I'll surely be trying it on the Infuse and see if its any louder. Also as gregj100 mentioned game compatibility, I hope the games I love and really use do work on the phone. Aside from that, if I ever do miss Sense, I read theres a solution: download LauncherPro and download the SenseUI theme, so Im good with that. And as far as music, in any case I'd just transfer it from my pc if the phone doesnt want to download a song for some reason :P, so yeah Im really looking forward to the switch to the Infuse ;D once again thanks to everyone for the helpful replies.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Luisit0:
I agree with u that AT&T is better and much much faster, plus here at home Sprint reception is horrible and they suggested an "Airave" system which I'd have to pa an extra $5 a month, its like im paying to get bad reception and I have to pay even more to get good reception -_-, but anywas I just dont like the 2GB limit, but I can get used to it since I wont use data at home cause I have WiFi ;D, so as far as AT&T Vs Sprint I have no problem switching there either, and as for Galaxy S2, I never was a Galaxy fan but the S2 is really a great improvement, now I'd just have to get used to the square at the bottom instead of all 4 keys (home, menu, back, search) though I never really used search.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the att varient of the gs2 wont have the centered home, anyway you will need to get used to the galaxy s button locations which are different from the evo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kjdocs:
I came from an inspire as well. While it was a good phone, work picked up my cell and that allowed me to try out the infuse. I absolutely LOVE this phone. Personally, I enjoy it much more the my Inspire (which i gave to my mother-in-law).

Anyway, it's been a while since i had a phone this awesome (was on a long line of iPhone trend before my Inspire).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Luisit0:
hm didnt know about the button, I guess thats good for me :D, and about the buttons yeah when I tried powering on an Infuse for the first time I was trying to find the power button on top, until i looked and saw it on the side ;P just a little getting used to on both phones regardless of which I choose to go for.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
a little getting used to but easier to reach, i love samsung power button location, i always found the iphail location odd, and on a biger phone like an infuse or evo i find it awkward.

the att gs2 may or may not have a keyboard but it is pretty much certain it will have 4 buttons on the bottom edge and not 3 with the home being physical and others being soft keys. the american providers seem to like that search function on there. the i9000 also had the centered home but all the us varients of the sgs had the 4 soft keys. im sure that pattern will continue especially after the iphone likeness lawsuits.

I don't think so. I wish. Above my head tho

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
We will, Newtoroot has some amazing things up his sleeve. He just needs to be able to root his phone and we'll have some amazing stuff coming up.

RMK is working on something as well with his team.

Joel is working on something too.

We'll eventually see something, now if you're asking if we can stick the 3.0 rosie on top of what we have? no, our radio is very temperamental and the drivers have to be perfect otherwise it'll cause issues. (Look at MIUI and CM7, there are still some problems there)

Once GB root is achieved or HTC unlocks the bootloader we'll be set.

it's incredible, i've check every voice in menu and i think that samsung have missed this function. In honeycomb native is possibile? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Honeycomb is designed differently from previous Android releases. The end result is that /data and /sdcard are actually on the same partition, and it's all ext4.

This is why the Tab doesn't support USB Mass Storage mode, and neither does any other Honeycomb device (except maybe ones that have an external removable SD card.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filep:
But my galaxy tab 10.1 have two different partitions, one for data and one for mass memory and work well in usb mass storage, it's like my gs2 but with no sdcard.

Inviato dal mio GT-P7500 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
You'll see that /data and /sdcard are exactly the same size and always have the same amount of free space - there's a reason for that.

And USB Mass Storage is completely unsupported by the tab (Except for attaching Mass Storage devices to the tab using the USB host dongle). MTP (which is what the Tab uses for file transfers) is NOT USB Mass Storage.

No worries. I was there last week :)

If you have CWM already installed, you should be able to just HOLD power + volume down at the same time until the boot screen changes from LG > ANDROID and some icons (then you can let go of both buttons. Try that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Did you flash CWM properly through the NVFLASH tools? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Or did you just install CWM the soft way through an app in the OS while it was running like you would through Rom Manager? For Tegra devices this isn't a proper recovery flash and will not work correctly. Recovery flash needs to be done through NVFLASH.

[HTC EVO 3D] leechgod27:
I m frm gujarat & i hv a ques which google/xdA or my technoholic friends could not answer.After exhaustive research i couldnt make a decision....

question is: I have a friend in US who just bought an evo 3d frm ebay,but found it had bad ESN.Now he is going to sell it in 250$ coz he cant use it with sprint or any other carrier anymore. Can i use tht fone here in india on cdma or gsm networks,by unlocking or flashing it?I read tht its bootloader will be unlocked soon Plz tell me if this is possible anyhow...m goin to pay real money to him

Thanks in advance

:rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
It would depend on what type of towers you have ( cdma or gsm) you need cdma, and also what frequencies they are running. the US evo 3d runs on 1900 mhz. Also im not sure if you can flash the evo 3d yet. im sure its possible, but the methods and apps used to flash other phones havent been tested yet. probably best to wait it out for a while and see what happens
[HTC EVO 3D] Ceelos09:
From what I understand, Evo 3D's are CDMA devices and are 99% worthless outside of the U.S. however, I did read an article stating that HTC listed the Evo 3D with quadband capabilities (GSM being one of them of course) the only problem is I'm not 100% sure if they did that because it really "is" quadband capable or if that just applies to international or special models. Maybe someone else will beat me to it and fully answer ur question. Your best bet is to try and find out if ur friends Evo 3D is quadband capable, if so, u might be able to use it in India by GSM. If it is only a CDMA device, its probably gna be worthless unless u want to be paying some pretty costly roaming charges
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
Im pretty sure that the EVO 3d is only dual band. the photon 4g is tri or quad band. The evo 3d doesnt have a sim card slot either so it doesnt have gsm capabilities.
[HTC EVO 3D] leechgod27:
thank u friends for ur quick replies...one of my friends was able to use evo 4g here,so i thought this also might work.Still i will wait for some solid answer B-)
[HTC EVO 3D] iamgodtruestory:
thought there was gonna be a gsm version

Isn't the evo 3d gsm version releasing in france within 2 weeks?

(i might be wrong, just stating what i read)

Sorry, just read the post and no..., an evo 3d bought in the USA on sprint's cdma network by no means can be used on gsm networks...

Don't know whether it can be used on cdma networks in other countries, however i highly doubt it.
[HTC EVO 3D] chose1:
EVO 3D has both GSM and CDMA. I am getting the EVO 3d GSM from the US soon. I have checked on gsmarena which says that EVO 3D gsm is quadband.

Hej there,

A simple question, cause I couldn't find the answer for myself: if I root my transformer, will I still be able to get the OTA updates or update with the downloaded support files from Asus (if I stay with the stock rom)?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorSammy:
Yes and no. If you stick with a stock ROM, you'll be able to download the OTAs/get notified about them. However, if you use ClockworkMod Recovery (which you really should) you won't be able to install the OTA. Well, it'll try but, it'll fail. The best bet is to be patient and one of the devs will release their versions of the new ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
It might depend which method you used to root, but I doubt it. I did the rooting via the 'pure root' method and I receive the notifications.

Since I just backed up after updating to 8.5.5.6, I decided to see what happened if I clicked on the upgrade nag notification, and all it did was say that it cancelled it, and does not nag me now.

I have no clue if it'll do the same for everyone. We all follow a lot of paths to generally the same place in rooting, so not sure. I did have an HTC incredible actually unroot itself via an update notification, so I removed the OTA Certification services.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abprie:
Well, thanks to both of you for the clarification!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abprie:
Additional question: after rooting, when I want to install an update, would it be possible to unroot and then install the update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yes. Just go into /system/app/ and delete superuser.apk. Just note that when you have root, you can't change a lot of the system files otherwise there will be problems with the OTA.

I would personally just rock custom ROMs. They get updated fast to the latest OTA. But that's just me.
