[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
This is completely false. I've purchased many apps that aren't compatible with my phone or tablet anymore (they were when purchased). If I buy a Samsung phone, I see from the comments in the market that more apps won't be compatible. With other phone with certain resolutions, they may not work either This isn't very good if you spend the amount of money on apps as I do.

Now on the iOS side of things, you can buy universal apps which work with EVERYTHING or specific iPad apps - just like purchasing apps for honeycomb, which I don't expect to run on my phone. The iPad specific apps will work with the next iPad and the next and the next. I don't worry at all when I purchase from the apple store, but I always have to think long term when I purchase android apps. It's not a very enjoyable way to purchase stuff.

With iOS I know things are compatible when I buy them, with android, I have no idea if the next phone I get will be supported by the apps I've purchased. How this rumor got started that Android apps are universal is beyond me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I just saw ipad 2 commercial. Have not seen it for months. They must feel threatened with all the touchpads already sold.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Seems you have bought the wrong apps then, or more likely you are vastly overinflating the truth (as it seems to be the case with your other bogus claims).

I have the same phone and tablet as you, and I haven't seen anything that works on one and not the other.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Off the top of my head - Fifa 10 and The Sims 3. There are at least 3 or 4 others but the problem is if they aren't "compatible" anymore, they won't show up in the market. The fact still remains that compatibility is an issue with Android - my brother is a developer and tells me about it all the time!

As for bogus claims, which are you referring to? I have no invested interested in either platform or device, so my opinions are based on experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
SO yeah I decided to flash Miui lastnight and this happened clockworkmod wont load up for me to reflash or whipe, when I try to boot into clockwork htc logo comes up then slowly dies to black, though I can access hboot so what should i do?

I'm kinda new to this so step by step kinda thing would be great.

I have a video but I cant post it cause I'm too new.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
it's not bricked.... power off the phone then press and hold the power key and the vol down key at the same time til you see the HBOOT screen. vol down until RECOVERY is highlited then press power. That will bring you into Recovery mode. now wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.. then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache... go back to mounts and storage and format system...

after all that then go back to install zipfrom sdcard and reinstall miui that should do it

Im not going anywhere so I'll be here, let me know how you do
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Ouch. That sucks. Don't worry though, there is hope.

What you will have to do is remove your SD card and download a stock RUU and it will flash in Bootloader. Unfortunately I believe it will unroot you. I am not positive on that though. I will post a link so you can be reading a little more about it, we helped a guy thru this the.other day, but he wasn't rooted. Should be the same process though. You'll want to wait until we know exactly what to do because this is your one shot before you got a fancy paperweight. I have to run to atnt for a minute. Start reading so you'll know a little more of what is going to go on, and hang tight. Someone else may step in before I'm back, but you can start familiarizing yourself with the process shortly.

This fellow was pricked during an OTA update. About the same steps will be taken...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1222662

Tread lightly. I am gonna do my best to help, but I am not an expert. However I do feel confident that since Bootloader is all you can load that this is your fix. See ya soon.

Edit: I was under the impression your phone would not boot. Apologies... :rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes, hboot is all I have so I'm going to take it slow at this point, taking a look at the thread now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
I've gotten the same thing in the past when updating sense via HTC on a rooted rom lol.... it's most likely a bad flash sometimes you just have to reflash a rom but Im 99.9% sure it's not bricked
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
Like, you just had hboot when you tryed to boot into recovery it was just black? lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
yeah the green HTC logo came up and faded black... i had to pull the battery out and put it back and hboot into recovery, once there I wiped everything and re flashed the rom and everything booted up just fine
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
Yeah, thats not the case here, i've done that multiple times and it remains the same.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
search around on here for a stock rooted rom in PD98IMG.zip form There may be one inside the hack kit but cant remember. put it on your sdcard boot into bootloader by holding volume down and pressing power. let it search for the update. hit volume up to confirm update after it finds it. If you can access hboot your not bricked take a deep breath and relax
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
what program did you use to root ?

[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
I have, should I just match the radio and flash it. If the file is corrupt it could for sure brick me. My question is how do you flash a rom from hboot? Cause I have the stock RUU from HTC Dev but I don't know how to go about doing that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
there ya go, that would have been my next step lol :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
you have a micro sd card reader on your computer ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Here's a link to gb stock rooted. Look at post 4. Credit goes to gene for the file.

To flash you will need a way to transfer files to your SD card.

Download the file and rename to PD98IMG.zip. boot into hboot it will scan and ask you to apply the update.

If you can't transfer files try the ruu exe. Version you downloaded.

you gonna try and reflash the MIUI rom again ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
Though, it's not reading my sim rebooted and still no sim?

Any hints?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TBRATCHER:
Haha maybe, if the sim would read I would.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Oh Man! I am glad you got everything going - I spent 3 hours and 37 minutes on the phone with atnt after leaving the store where I waited an hour or better. Didn't mean to let ya hang, I figured there would be a rescuer or three anyhow so good deal. Check it out - download AFV Alien File Verify from the.market and it will check and see if your Md5 sums match for any files. It's quick, painless, and most of all an extra step that could avoid the softbricks and paperweights....

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndoggfromhell:
It looks like it's stuck in hboot. I'm guessing it thinks the volume button is down. Any way to work around this? I tried the rice trick, but she's stupid and after wiping off the phone turned it back on and used it for a few minutes with the tea still inside it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alstair:
Depending on how brave you are you could try to tear it down and see if anything is gunked up around the volume buttons. There are a few teardown videos online.

OR, even riskier, see if you can throw that sucker in the oven at its LOWEST setting for a little while if there is still actual liquid inside. Never tried it with a smartphone, but it shouldn't be much different than a water-logged razr.

Good luck either way!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndoggfromhell:
well the iced tea was spilled in it over a week ago. I slipped the volume button off enough to look in and it doesn't appear to have anything on it. Not even sticky! i'm guessing it's a short elsewhere on the board.

anything I could do with ADB to disable the button? anything else crazy? A warrantee refurb is coming to swap out, but she's freaking out without a phone tonight.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutclpa:
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find an answer. I currently have a DHD, and several icons on the home screen do not display their names properly (Opera Mobile displays as Opera Mo, Go SMS Pro displays as Go SMS Pr, Advanced Task Killer displays as Advanced - you get the picture). What I want to know if this is an issue with the phone, if it is the developers being lazy, or if it is a general android issue, and I obviously want to know if it can be fixed. It looks amateurish.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
I'd think it's a launcher issue rather than anything else. What ROM/launcher are you using?

They're fine for me on cm7 with ADW Ex, but I can't remember ever having that problem on Sense either. I could be wrong though, of the examples given I only used Opera Mobile when I was on a Sense ROM - anyone else care to check?

//Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Yes, it's known bug for some launchers. It can be also caused by the system font you currently use. Try to change mix for both of it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutclpa:
Im just using the stock rom with HTC Sense. the device hasn't been rooted as yet ;) I assume that I need to root the device to change the system font?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Not a bug. It is normal. It only shows the first 8 letters of the name so as not to hog up the home sreen with rediculous long names. If you ever took notice your windows computer does the same thing.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
You didn't mentioned that you use the stock launcher. Thus, I'm jumping to blind conclusion. Which is also my bad. *sigh*

Yeah, only 8 characters per icon are displayed on the stock homescreen. Kinda weird, but it's normal.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutclpa:
Thanks for your help. Apologies for not mentioning what rom/launching I was running.

I know windows pc's do something similar, but its normally at a much longer length of text before it cuts off (probably because a pc generally has a bigger screen to display things on). Also, with the phone, you can actually see the start of the 9th charactor, so it just looks odd. Anyway, thanks for your replies, now I know that there isn't much I can do about it, I'll just have to live with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
Now the only device I'v see that can both run android and wp7 is HTC HD2. And I don't know why no developers want to let wp7 in other device. I've used android for 6 months and just use wp7 only 1 month. But I think the wp7 let applications more efficient. And I think if let this system in the powerful dual-core tablet can let this more strong. Now some one can let Ubuntu run in A500. And is possible to run wp7 in it?
[Acer Iconia A500] D_Steve595:
WP7 is closed-source and would be extremely difficult to port over to this chipset, especially since there is no build of WP7 optimized for Tegra 2 yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] spr0k3t:
WP7 devices were being outsold by WebOS devices by almost 2:1. WebOS is officially gone due to the lack of any profit HP was able to yield from it. Why would you want to let MS infect another bit of hardware like android tablets?

WP7 on HTC is sweet...

but I don't think it's optimized for tablet usage...

[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
I've already notice it, but I think nvidia want to let its chip on other OS platform. The tegra wp7 is coming soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] tedpc01:
You're right about that and one problem they are having with Win 7 on touch devices is that it's not designed for touch devices. Supposedly Win 8 will be, but it's not out yet.

[General Questions and Answers] treytastic:
I have rooted my phone and I have learned what different recovery flashes are, but I am having a hard time understanding what a Kernel is? I understand Roms, but don't understand how Kernels apply? Any help would be appreciated...
[General Questions and Answers] danw_oz:
The kernel is the underlying operating system of the phone, that accesses all the hardware layer of the phone. So the OS of the phone will talk to the kernel and the kernel then makes the relevant requests to the hardware, hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
The kernel controls your drivers such as wi-fi, speakers, radio. A custom kernel can fix or hurt issues with these things and allow you to overclock your cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
I was able to actually boot into MIUI. After almost 3 days straight of changing, and reviewing code from stock GB and MIUI. I was able to boot into MIUI. All I get is force closes, and reboots about 2 seconds after I unlock the phone from the lock screen. The boot screen is messed up. Similar to the rainbow boot in KF2. I can't do anything with it because of the constant reboots. Not sure how long it will take to get it stable. I'm pretty sure I'm not even 60% done with it. I won't be releasing it for quite a while. After that long, I need a break. Might not be for another couple of weeks until I'm finished.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pwner5889:
I took the MIUI port of the vibrant, the MIUI source code, and a comeplete stock rooted deodexed GB KH2. I put them in beyond compare and reviewed the code. Changed most of the values in the MIUI ROM source. I pretty much did the same thing with the kernel. I'm not finished with that either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ermacwins:
there is no miui source code, anyone smell anything>
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
kernel is open source most of the miui code is not. How ever the parts of the miui that use cm7 mod can be obtained from the repo.. porting from a full source would be bs..

you would have to build the kernel for the sgs4g from source kernel for miui (good luck navigating there site unless u know chinese or just use translator) Then find the i9000 based rom or vibrant miui (provided there is one for vibrant) Once thats done you would have to port the miui from the rom you downloaded to the sgs4g anything that was based off cm7 that was put into miui u could of course rebuild from c7 source then bug test the snot out of it get a working build and submit it to miui..

dude even if u got just a working kernel please give it to krylon as he has a rom...

I have rooted my Htc hero a few months ago and had no problem until recently when my battery died and my phone brings up this white screen when ever I turn it on.

I have tried reinstalling my RUU updated and it works, but only if i keep the phone on without restarting it or letting it die will the phone work properly again.

If its turned off it will go back to the white screen ( with the 3 little androids on the bottom).

Can u go to recovery? From off... hold down home button while holding down power button.

Or hboot mode... from power off...

Hold down lower volume button while pressing power button. From hboot u can choose "recovery"

U want recovery to get to a "advanced" then to "backup and restore"

If ur still rooted then restore one of ur backups.

And if u wanna start over... unroot it and reroot it so u can flash any ROM u want.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Try to Install ROM Manager and Flash the Recovery over Again! Next at the Bottom of the ROM Manager app there's something called Fix Permissions, Run that until Asked to Reboot! Then Select Reboot and see if that Fixes it? Pretty sure it might Work...

It wont let me even recover anything, it just shows a picture of a red phone with a "!" net to it and it stays that way until I take the battery off.

PMGRANDS I have tried it and there is no option. ( I have updated it ) not installed. Maybe that's the problem? I've been updating it and it works until I turn it off.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
That's why it's faster to start over...

Use the ruu zip and start over. I know it sucks but ur backups are still on ur SD card so once u unroot, then reroot in about 15 min, ur back to just rentering ur gmail account, then download rom manager and do a good working backup or just reflash the rom u just had that didn't work.

It beats playing the "try this or this" game.

Well I wish u luck in whichever option u choose
