You are saying this as if it is a new phenomenon.

======short version========

Put simply, it is easier to deal with absolutes and it is easier to convey opinion to others in absolutes.

======long version========

It is human nature to ally with a particular group, society, or set of ideals and denigrate the things that differ from the ideal you are allied with. Countries, religions, sports teams, type of car.... the list is as long as there are comparable objects. It is possible for people to see in shades of right rather than absolutes but this provides no stable platform on which to hang a set of beliefs.

- It is far easier to say "Motorola is incompetent and I will never use them again" than it is to say "Motorola made some serious mistakes with the Xoom but they did do some things right."

- It is easier to say "Motorola is out to screw early Xoom adopters." than it is to say "Motorola is not communicating well with early Xoom adopters."

- It is easier to say "thou shall not kill" than it is to say "thou shall not kill unless it is needed to preserve other life"

- It is easier to say "Other religions are wrong" than it is to say "other religions are different."

- and it is easier to say "Apple is evil" than it is to say "Apple's stance on the similarity between the iPad and Xoom is not reasonable."

Absolutes allow a person to place an idea, group, or company into a position within opinion that requires less thought and little debate. This is comforting to most, requires less consideration, and makes life easier to deal with. The more you deal with a specific idea/group/company the more details you learn and the less likely you are to paint your opinion on the subject with such broad strokes. No one wants to try and know everything in such detail however.

So while it would be better if mankind as a whole took an effort to see the merit in differing opinions on subjects, it is not the nature of man. To try and remove the polarizing nature of the psyche would possibly lead to less conflict but it would also to moral and ethical confusion.

There have been and are individuals who have evolved past this need but those individuals are not common, indeed the most notable have been quite extraordinary.

Here is one take on the patent issue that underlies the various recent legal spats. The commentary delves into more detail than the usual regurgitated pap, and the arguments made are reasonable, at least based on the material as presented.

[Xoom General] _delice_doluca_:
so, what do you think is going to happen? i own a xoom and i am planning to buy a new one to my girlfriend but now i am afraid of that samsung and motorola can cut off their support on these devices.. i dont want to own a device which has no support of new updates/market or accesorries ..

besides i am in turkey and my xoom has been boutgh from the usa by the man who has sold it to me.. so i do not have a bill but only a serial number, i can check the warranty from the motorola web page but what is going to happen if they decide to "erase" the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and motorola xoom from the market and give everyones money back?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I don't think you need to worry. Get the Xoom for your girlfriend. If you root it (or even if not) you will continue to have plenty of support for your tablet from this community as well as from Google/Moto. I just think that Apple is not allowed to take over the world. We have to take a stand some time, somewhere.
[Xoom General] rockhumper:
What is really funny is apple was invented by steve jobs stealing open source programming from someone else, patenting it and putting his name n it, then just having a slick campaign that if u dont buy apple ur not individualistic and being different is cool (as long as it is done in groups...). Then says his product cant be hacked on a tv commercial... Within 48 hours they pulled the commercial because four major hacks came out... So they steal, prey on peoples need to be "cool" and their fear of being hacked... But then turn around and start suing all their competitors. This is not new for them and it is a business tactic now... A pathetic way to slow up progress of their competitors... And their iphone sucks... No expandable memory, no battery pull ability, no open source, poor reception, charges for wifi tethering and it isnt built in, no flash.... Etc etc..

To play on their gay commercials... If you don't have an iphone, well you probably have a better smart phone... Even blackberry and nokia kick iphone ass... Rant over
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Though I enthusiastically agree with what you are saying...could I ask you not to use the term "gay" as a negative? I'd go with "To play on their ridiculous/boring/really irritating commercials..."

Anyway...it's FRIDAY!
[Xoom General] rschenck:
Totally agree on using better negative terms...I would actually call them "smug and arrogant" more than anything else.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
whenever I see someone with an iphone or ipad, I automatically assume this person is 100% gullible and I can convince them to literally buy ANYTHING as long as I make it sound especially hip.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
That's a pretty extreme statement.

Apple has the best marketing in the tech world. They also have some decent products, with plenty of objective reasons to choose Apple over the alternatives.

However, remember that marketing is simply making people aware of a product and its features.

I find when talking to people that decisions on platform aren't made over which commercial was the coolest, but rather the features and/or familiarity with the brand.

I would argue that very few people are so superficial as to choose a platform based on "hip"-ness.
[Xoom General] rschenck:
The real problem here is not Apple. Whatever you think of iOS, they are just a company using every tool at their disposal to succeed. If roles were reversed any company would do the same.

The problem is a hopelessly broken, pitifully antiquated Patent system that allows absurd patents to be approved.

This problem is compounded by the abuse of "patent troll" companies that never developed a technology or released a product, but simply bought patents and create lawsuits.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
Nice assumption there sir...
[Xoom General] JiminSD:
Apple may or may not have a case for patent infringment. Like others here have said before it is often easy to get a patent and many times the patents don't hold up. I wouldn't be suprise if this comes back and shoots Apple in the foot.
[Xoom General] newter55:
Well, unfortunately they can handle a few bullets, and fire many more back, considering they are now #1 or 2 on the list of most valuable companies in America.

[Xoom General] milkman0214:
What I really don't understand are all of the Apple fans cheering them on like they're the cool underdog fighting on behalf of hipsters everywhere against Corporate America. They are one of the biggest companies in the world, have corporate values and strategy that are objectively evil by anyone's standards, and as far as I can tell, they could not care less about any of their customers. I have no problem admitting that their industrial design and marketing abilities are phenomenal, but I'm really surprised that more people aren't bothered by their corporate behavior.

[HTC Sensation] jalie85:
I hav just flash a new rom(Suprarom) and everything is fine accept gmail,market maybe all google app.my phone already s-off,root and supercid.when sign in at gmail or market, its said can't establish connection bla.....bla...it's kernel problem or what.i try full wipe ,wipe cache,done everything but it goes same...before flashing this rom i'll make a backup..when i restore it everything goes normal..please any solutionn...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
When people have problems connecting to the market and gmail, the only way to fix that is to delete all the data and cache from the phone to have google resync it back up.

For both apps you'll need to go to the settings-manage applications. Then clear the cache AND the data. Do the same for gmail.

After that, reboot, open up gmail and the market. The market should ask you to agree to the terms and conditions again and once you validate that you should should be golden.
[HTC Sensation] jalie85:
yup i do it all you said.but first start from first flash the rom dont hav a cache or data right.i mean from setting-manage application-market -clear data/clear cache .the button is invisible.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Have you checked your sync settings? If all fails you may need to just do a factory reset.

This will erase all your apps and settings.

. Sorry!

EDIT: Please read below before performing a factory reset!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I re-read your posts. You stated that at sign-in you cannot establish a connection. Are you getting full bars? Maybe you should skip the sign in process upon flashing a new rom and restore your wifi settings. And afterwards, go and connect via wifi and sign into google/market/gmail. Hope that helps.
[HTC Sensation] jalie85:
My signal is full bar n try a wifi too.can browsing to web .skip from signing @ setup wizard nothing change.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarface31:
Hey Guys,

Newb here. My head hurts from banging my head half the night trying to figure out what went wrong. It's probably something simple but I just can't figure it out. I'm now at the mercy of you guys.

Everything went fine until I added the rom and reboot all it does it stick at the Mytouch 4G splash screen no matter how long I let it sit. I have no problem getting back to recovery mode and I can also get into clockworkmod and tell it to boot the rom. Then it just hangs at splash screen

Glacier PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)

MICROP-0429

Here are my steps for getting a rom to load.

1.Hold volume down and power.

2.Boots into recovery

3.Choose Recovery which loads ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4

4.Wipe data/factory reset (seems to work fine)

5.Wipe Cache (seems to work fine)

6.Wipe Dalvik Cache (Get E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext])(Dalvik Cache Wiped)

7.Install zip from SDCARD

8.choose zip from SDCARD (RoyalGiner_v3.0_final.zip)

9 installs fine (Install from sdcard complete)

10. reboot system now

11 Hangs at Tmobile Mytouch 4G splash screen

Any guiadance would be awesome.

Lots of thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelowTheHeavens:
Download the rom again from your computer and place it in your sdcard and wipe cache/data and try flashing again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Your steps look perfectly fine. I would delete the zip and re-download it. You probably just have a bad download. If that doesn't work, try a different ROM and see if you get the same issue. You aren't getting any bad errors, so I am still sticking with bad download.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Make sure to check the MD5SUM.

What i do when i flash a new ROM is this

Download the ROM to the computer

c:\adb adb push <rom_name>.zip /mnt/sdcard

it will kick out a reading that it pushed so many Kb in so many seconds

c:\adb adb shell
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<rom_name>.zip

it will kick out the MD5SUM of that .zip

Then i will copy the md5SUM from on the CMD prompt then "crtl &f " find the MD5SUM on the page that i got the ROM from. To make sure they 100% match.

then

# reboot recovery

then from there i do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM & G/APPS (if needed)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarface31:
Thanks for the tips guys. I've tried multiple roms and all result in the same stuck splash screen. I guess tonight I will install the SDK stuff and give adp a try and see what I can come up with. I guess I missed something when doing the visionary/Gfree root. I followed this guys videos Mackster248 off youtube. Everything seemed to work but I guess something is wrong somewhere lol...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
Just in the future, make sure that you check the md5sum of the download before flashing it so you will save time if its a corrupted download. And definatly make a backup with rom manager before wiping/flashing new roms.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarface31:
I really appreicate the help guys. Yesterday I was able to download PD15IMG.zip recovery file and when I booted into recovery mode it detected it reverted everything back to square besides the S-OFF. Im going to attempt to root it again at a later date. I think to learn alittle more Im going to take my old mytouch g3 and mess with it.

Again Thanks

SUCCES! Buying a non-stock micro sd resolve goldcard problems

Last night i tried this two methods to root my inspire,

Bubby's and the Ace Hack.

Neither both worked on my smartphone.

Bubby's just hangs in the HBOOT, it will never search for the .zip

And the command kit hangs in "INFOsignature..."

Tough it might be the goldcard, really i need to buy a new one?

Or there is something im doing wrong?

I tried the goldcard generation several times. (stock 8GB one)

I will take any help, thanks!

(Running 2.2.1, stock ATT)

(Also, im from Argentina, so i have it translated into spanish)

Start over use ace hack kit and then tell where are u stuck..

[HTC Inspire 4G] dmobile1337:
I would also suggest verifying that the zip file is named correctly and actually got transferred over. When I first did it the process failed there because the zip file wasn't named correctly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] surtrafl:
Wow, now my inspire is stuck in a black screen with a cellphone and a red exclamation sign. What does it mean?

Edit: I restarted the phone and now is just like... nothing. Its the same that before, it wont work with the hack kit.

Hack Kit prompts "go" "tr23" "tr99" are not recognized command lines.

Then it just proceed fut failing in many steps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] surtrafl:
Trying Bubby's once again, now with a 1gb sandisk card.

Now it searchs for the .zip

Ill keep updating if i succes.

Thanks

Edit: Its going well for now.

It seems that the stock card is not the best to make a goldcard.
[Dell Streak 7] fliberdygibits:
So I'm running DJ-Steve's latest Honeycomb on my DS7 and I have an app for fiddling with the density. At the resolution I really prefer (don't recall which one). Whenever I download and install apps they appear JUST off the edge of the screen with no way to retreive or move them short of changing the density, moving them, changing back, etc..... PITA. is there some way I can make these stupid things not do that? OR does android have some sort of "auto arrange desktop" option or something like that?

Thanks
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
This is because this was based on Honeycomb for a 10inch - the grid is larger than our screen.

Untill someone rips a build from one of the 7 inch Honeycomb tablets, or the source is released, this will be a problem.

If you don't need 3.2, you can DL 3.1 RC3, and use the 160 image. DJ_Steve was somehow able to edit the launcher from one of the 10 inch builds to fit our screen perfectly in that build. It's by far my favorite Honeycomb build. I check all the Honeycomb updates to try them out, but always find myself back on Froyo or 3.1 RC3.
[Dell Streak 7] fliberdygibits:
I sorta figured thank you. Just seems like if the system could keep the little google voice search widget and the apps tray framed properly it should be able to keep everything else in check.

Is WP7 reliable?

For example, how is the signal?

In android I get frequent signal drops, more than 50% of the time.

And is there a way to get WP7 in Dutch?

Because I red there is a special radio for WP7, I tried it before but at that time I wasn't convinced. Though, at this time now I'm ready to give it another try.

The only thing I want to know is, is the connection better with WP7 or is it just the same deal?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
its pretty much the same to be honest.

I find i get a better HSPA connection now, but in low signal areas my GPRS signal is shoddy, i think it really does depend on your network, from my understandings different radios have different settings that may or may not match / work with the network as well, there is also the eliment of battery life which will only give you about a day when in a low signal area.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] justason:
Hi,

Some latest ROMs based on JVP, JVQ and JVR have one defict: With virtual operator there is a roaming sign, and the operation mode shows, that the phone is in roaming. Like mine I9000 in Finnish "Saunalahti".

The solution is to:

1. Put into folder "/system/etc" the file "spn-conf.xml" using your favorite method (ADB / root / etc.).

2. Reboot the phone.
