[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
Devs do this for fun, agree.

Devs don't make enough to survive on from donations, agree.

Devs like Cyanogen did this for fun, provide help to the community, agree.

People like Larry Page, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates were also into starting something new on their own, when they initially started having a thought back in their university/school days, do you really think they wanted to make "Money", so they started looking for options to come up with something which can essentially become a milking cow for them? I really doubt.

They did it for fun, initially, we buy computers and other great products which was initially a baby idea of those geniuses, if we didn't buy their products, they would never see the sunshine/success. And, we would never have reached where we are today.

Best thing can never be achieved for free.

These devs put their hearts into their ROMs, make it work for the phone they love to use, make them available for general users, like us, to be used, we download these ROMs, use them, abuse them, go back to the Original ROM Threads, and complain and ***** about how many problems their ROMs are having, and what these devs do in return? Work on those flaws, make their ROMs more efficient, correct those issues, make a new build available(I am referring to Diviance for AURA ROM for ATRIX in particular), get a bunch of new features included and release it again... and the cycle goes on... one thing never happens is "They never ask for something in return".

Yes they do say and they do mean that they are doing this dev work for fun, not expecting any donations...

We still abuse and ***** about their works.

How many of us ATRIX users jumped onto CM7 as soon as they released Pre Beta versions? A lots of us...

How many of us started complaining about CM7 after we started using it? Probably all of those who used it... Even it is Pre Beta, no where close to a beta release with any sort of stability, even it says that this is a Pre Beta, full of bugs, please test and report bugs, we still complain... Oh Come On... dont we read those freaking change logs?

Speaking of the OP's concern, MiUI is one of the best ROMs available, agree... and if we are not asked to donate, i think it is our responsibility to pay these dedicated devs back... just as a gesture, if nothing else.

Go ahead and blast at me and flame me for saying all of above... But I agree with the OP, we should donate, not because those MiUI devs are asking for, or because some other dedicated dev is asking for, and would not do the working until get paid, but as a gesture of appreciation to what they do for us. If you don't feel like donating, don't want to donate, that's fine, but stay away from complaining, please.

Just my two cents, feel free to flame me for saying this.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
I'll donate when they actually do something I appreciate. Not until then.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
I haven't complained once about CM7; i installed it on day one, and have been using it as my daily driver ever since.

with that out of the way, i'll donate to a Dev if i believe their product deserves it, but i don't approve of people coming here and asking for donations without showing anything first.

especially when the person who created this thread (asking for donations) isn't the dev which will be doing the porting, he's a third party whom i don't even know.

It SHOULD be coming soon

do you know if it might be this month or next?
[Atrix 4G General] Javi97100:
Not sure, it was supposed to be released last Sunday. But tthe dev was sick and don't know if he's betterq

Wasn't someone supposed to release, but got sick?
[Atrix 4G General] Abu-7abash:
The dev when asked on twitter about MIUI on Atrix actually said he was too busy ATM, nothing about being sick.

[Atrix 4G General] Javi97100:
Good things happened to people who wait. Just have patience, it will come soon
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
I would not be surprised if he abandoned porting MIUI to the Mighty Atrix. Way too many stalkers stalking him and way too many people "getting annoyed" left and right and behaving like total headless chickens on forums. So many forums asking the same thing.

If you really feel this pissed off, why don't you port it yourself?
[Atrix 4G General] XAviierG:
Another update. "I really have no time at all right now. I haven't been on the computer too busy. I have time to tweet from my phone not computer"

huh huuh huuuh huh huh huuh
[Atrix 4G General] Abu-7abash:
He doesn't owe me, you nor anyone a release. He does this for fun and perhaps glory too, if he does indeed release it then great if not, he's just another dev got over his head with this this.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
MIUI isn't coming to the atrix guys. Let's face it. Let's just move on. This phone isn't popular enough.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottC:
Never thought I'd post something I consider a noob question :)

I flashed Tiamat 2.1 to my Xoom (was on an earlier Tiamat before that) but I've lost all my 3G settings - nothing in the settings menu, and no activate upon cold reset. Pretty sure I screwed it up during the previous rom upgrade.

Any quick pointers on what I did wrong, and how I can make my Verizon 3G xoom think it is a 3G xoom again?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Seems like you should return completely to stock (proper 3G stock images for your model) and start over. If anything, Tiamat Hammerhead makes all the WiFi Xooms into Verizon Xooms (as far as the Market knows).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachiodo:
I'm having same problem. Did you ever get this resolved? Did flashing Tiamat Hammerhead work for you?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazililazn:
Last night, my phone soft-bricked itself while it was on standby in my pocket. I thought a simple flash to stock would fix it but it didn't. The phone won't even boot without the external sd card, so I put my external SD card in, and when it does boot, it is extremely laggy and slow and will eventually turn off. Then, I realized the phone was having trouble recognizing both the internal and external sd card. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is definitely a hardware issue.

For the RMA process, I was wondering what is the fastest way to get a response from them? Sending in an online ticket or faxing it to them?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
I would go with online ticket for samsung. The warranty for samsung should be one year just like you're cell carrier. Might be easier to just walk into a warranty center for them and walk away with a new phone 20min later.

You can argue with them that same issues on your phone will carry on on a refurb, random shutdowns or crappy gps as an example.

Looking for a good FM Transmitter, most of the reviews online I read show poor signal issues.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ctinsley:
I love my jabra cruiser. The fm works really well and there are plenty of fm stations to choose from unlike some of the current models.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mark112089:
coby ca 745 fm transmitter...wont let me post link yet, i dont make enough posts to post a link yet apparently lol. you can find it on amazon for 20 bucks and works great. strong signal even on stations that arent entirely clear. extra accessory jack on top alittle loose is the only thing. but for 20 bucks you cant beat it. hope this helps
[Thunderbolt Accessories] taejin:
I highly recommend this one.

GOgroove FlexSMART X2 ADVANCED Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling

(not allowed to post links yet)

It is $45 from amazon. A little expensive, but I use it everyday without issue. The hand-free calling is convenient.

If you don't like using bluetooth, you can hook it up with a normal audio (1/8") cable.

It also has a USB port so you can charge your phone at the same time.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] KidJoe:
In my experience... FM Transmitters work great if you live in a more rural area, with not so many radio stations...

In 2005, when I got my Pontiac G6 GT and it didn't have 3.5mm aux in, I had to get an FM Transmitter to listen to my mp3 player :(

Even living on the out skirts of Wilmington, DE (not the biggest city). I couldn't just get in the car, set it, and go. I couldn't get a clean frequency that was available everywhere I drove, and I would start hearing static and need to change the frequency the FM Transmitter was using in the car about every 10 or 15 minutes.

Even a belkin with "clearscan" (which is supposed to auto pick a "clean" frequency), and allowed me to step up/down .1 mhz increments didn't help.

It made using an FM transmitter completely useless.

Make sure of the return policy of where you purchase from just in case.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] muerteman:
I agree with the above GoGroove suggestion. I love mine!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Slack3r:
HTC is launching this with the Evo 4G LTE, it might be worth looking into as long as it supports Bluetooth 3.0 on release. Also, bluetooth is far superior to FM transmitters in terms of quality.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/htc-car-stereoclip-hands-on/
[Thunderbolt Accessories] brandogg:
If you need an FM transmitter, then I *highly* suggest a *wired* transmitter. I used to use one in my Ford Explorer with my iPod - it connected to the back of the stereo between the head unit and the antenna (and drew power from the +12V line), and had a switch, so when you used it, it would cut off the car's antenna, so you couldn't get any outside interference even if you wanted to. It also had the best volume and sound, since it was broadcasting directly into the stereo.

Hi

I've done a factory reset, but the internal sdcard isnt wiped.. how can I do that?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
you mean /system and other non-user partitions? i believe clockwork mod can do that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephislee:
If youre meaning to format the sd card, just mount your device/sd card to your computer and go to my computer and format it there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DominikReber:
Nope we got the internal space mounted as sd-card in the transformer, the external as microSD...

How to format the sd-card (which is the internal storage on the transformer)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
again, clockworkmod can format each individual partitions in the internal storage. if you're looking to completely wipe everything including the parition tables i think you'd have to look into nvflash with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
Actually a "Factory Reset" in the Privacy settings

DOES

delete the internal memory (SDCARD), but not the MicroSD card in the side of the tablet, nor the external SDCard in the dock port, if you have them. An easy test of the internal memory is to take a photo with the tablet and then do a factory reset - the photo is gone after the reset. From what I can tell, all internal memory is wiped when doing a reset. This is different from most smartphones that separate the internal memory sections.

Also there is the data wiping option in the recovery mode, but I doubt it's really any different from a reset. Boot the device into recovery by turning off the tablet normally to shut it down, then to get into recovery press and hold the volume up and power buttons at the same time for several seconds and the menu will appear. From there choose "wipe data" option. The device will reboot normally after that and you're back at the initial setup screen.

Is there an app of a website I can download full movies with good quality for free. If so can you tell me the name of the app of site.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] POQbum:
Most apps for TV shows/ Movies get removed from the market (the good ones anyway) and then afterwards even if you have the .apk's the dev's stop supporting it and the links die.

I can't post the website here, but if you PM me I'll send you the link. Lots of TV shows and movies you can stream for free with multiple sources.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
I'm not sue if I can post, as I've posted a link to this site before and it wasn't removed so, I'm assuming it's fine the ones I use are:

sidereel.com (to get links to episodes of pretty much every show)

and

pspiso.com (must register, but it's a great site, also has PSP roms and such, but I mainly use it for movie/tv downloads)

If this isn't allowed, just PM me (or remove it!).

[Motorola Triumph] wigginst:
Rooted my phone with Gingerbreak and all went very smoothly. Added Titanium backup and feel much better about life having a backup. One thing I notice though is that I had to reload some apps (Swype, Viber etc) in order to get them to work again after rooting. Is that normal? Also I seem to have to reset my keyboard back to Swype, relogin in to Twitter etc. now each time I restart the phone (which was not happening pre-root). And the Go launcher and my apps are much slower to load now. Did I miss something along the way or is all of this normal working procedure?

What do you think? Prices are unimportant.

It would be nice if you can tell us why :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnystar:
I think the best windows phone always depends on your personal needs. I choose a HTC 7 Pro, because I needed a device with a physical keyboard, as I'm often using the office app and the email functionality.

So I bought it directly when it came out and I'm still very pleased with my descision. As there was only the Dell Venue Pro with a keyboard on sale, I choose HTC, because I had allready several phones produced by them and I loved all of them. The only thing I miss is a microSD reader.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGXX:
The 7 Pro would be the best if it has a larger screen and better landscape support :/

Wtf where is the LG quantum?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loco5150:
The Omnia7 is a great piece of HW for that price. I just also cant live without physical KB and got the HTC 7 Pro.

Why i decided the HTC over the Dell is that Dell is pretty bulky and also note that dells keyboard does not have directional keys. When i had the Omnia 7 it was a pita when trying to go back to some specific place in a text...

As for the not so good support of landscape in WP7 its not a problem. The places where I use the KB most landscape works... Like now writing this!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loco5150:
Also unlocked bootloaders is a thing that made me go towards HTC.

I don't actually own an Windows Phone, but I'll swap my LG 2X to a DVP. I think, that's the best Windows Phone, it has an 4.1" AMOLED Screen, a physical keyboard, it's cool looking...

But the Omnia 7 is really good too. Super AMOLED is quite better than AMOLED, and it has an metal body... thats nice :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
Hands down the dell venue pro. I own all of them but for battery life, functionality, quality, and pretty much everything that matters the dell venue pro. It was ergonomically designed in every sense to be form-fitted to the hand, the screen has a slight curvature unseen elsewhere, its the only windows phone without physical buttons that I dont accidentally hit the back button on, and lets face it, no other looks near as cool. The weight took some getting used to, its just slightly heavier than the hd7 but the weight is my only complaint.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
The battery on the HD7 sucks, yes, but that's the least of its problems.

My main issue is that it's a terrible PHONE. The reception/signal strength is terrible.

If you're on WiFI a lot and want a bit screen, it's a great phone. WiFi will save some battey over a 3G connection given the quality of the radio in the phone.

If you want a phone that actually functions very well as a phone, I'd look into something else. Maybe the Focus. Samsung phones tend to have very good signal strength. At least my Vibrant does, but it may have a different radio /shrug. The HD2 had poor reception as well. The HD7 is basically it's fraternal twin brother.

Also, I'd try my best to get an unlocked/unbranded phone because Microsoft is making us do the carrier dance, Sadly.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
HD7

Pros

:

Large screen

Good call quality (Sounds nice & clear)

Good signal strength (I get 3G+ reception up in the mountains of Burbank, CA & Burbank refuses to allow cell provider to put up new towers)

Nice build quality, feels nice in the hand

Kick Stand for media viewing

Hackability (Same goes for all HTC's as we have R/HSPL)

Cons

:

Battery

Poor speaker volume/quality

LCD is nice but nothing compared to Super AMOLED & SAMOLED+

Some complain about the hardware buttons, personally I like them

The capacitive buttons are too close to the LCD (prone to accidently hitting one while holding the device)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I owned the HTC HD7, the HTC Mozart, the LG Optimus 7 and the Omnia 7. So I think I can give a fair point of view.

In my opinion:

* the best is LG Optimus 7:

Pros

:

16GB storage, nice battery life, DLNA, great augmented reality apps, speech to text, physical buttons (I hate capacitive buttons)

cons

:

Ugly design, too much plastic, heavy weight, mediocre screen and camera, bad image of LG

* Followed by HTC Mozart:

Pros

:

Very well balanced phone, HTC apps, aluminium body, 8MP camera, battery life is ok, speakers are of good quality.

cons

:

8GB storage only, no HTC flashlight, no DLNA, screen a little bit small.

* Followed by Omnia 7:

Pros

:

Wonderful elegant design, great S-Amoled screen

cons

:

8GB storage only (at least in my country), very limited number of Samsung apps, no DLNA, a lot of annoying bugs that ruin the overall experience.

* In my opinion the HD7 is the worst.

Pros

:

Screen size, kick stand, HTC apps, good call quality

cons

:

Terrible screen resolution, horrible battery life, boring design, no DLNA, mediocre camera, mediocre 8GB storage only, terrible speakers (my God)...

I was surprised to discover that I really enjoy using the HTC Mozart and finally hated the HD7 (even if my previous phone was a HD2).

At first sight I fell in love with the Omnia 7 but was finally disappointing on a daily basis...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nizzon:
I have the Omnia 7 and all I can say is that it has terrible call quality and reception-issues.

Otherwise I love it.

By the looks of things there are no good WP7 phones available.

Lets hope Nokia can set things straight.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
This is true unfortunately...

Our WP7 devices are really underpowered, with poor storage.

MS shall really increase the minimum specifications now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGXX:
I think, only Android and Bada/WM6 really needs dual core, 1GB RAM and some more, because the software isn't really good adapted on the devices.

On WP7, it is.

So for WP7-devices is a 1 year old Snapdragon enough - because they all have the same and Microsoft can easily adapt their OS on the hardware, and everything is running smooth.

On Android, it looks like the devices are requiring an Tegra2 or Exynos to run as good as WP7-devices.

Waste of power, just my opinion. :) Or do you want to tell your friends, how many cores your phone got? :rolleyes:

Lower hardware specs make the devices much cheaper, you can see it on the Omnia7. Only 199€ in Europe.

But with the storage-thing I agree with you. It is really annoying, to have to buy a new phone if the storage is full and you want to save more music and apps on it, otherwise you only need to buy a new SD card...

Enough OT now :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SicilianTony:
arturobandini my omnia 7 has 16gb with 14.5gb available so that is not true

also i don't suffer from poor call quality, its crystal clear.

the only things i don't like about it

1. battery life could be better (its 50%) of how long my iphone 4 battery could last

2. not very ergonomic, don't understand the fascination of big phones that need 2 hands to compose a message
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nizzon:
I dont really care about dual core.

I want...

SAMOLED (or something equal in blacks)

Good reception and good call quality

at least 16gb storage

Good buildquality

Hardware homebutton

Is that too much to ask? It looks like it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
Hello SicilianTony,

In my country the Omnia 7 is only available with 8GB unfortunately... :(

That's a shame.

Regarding call quality, I suppose I have been unlucky with my device in particular. Accrdingly I will modify my previous comment in order to give the most objective and fair review possible.
