Gingerbread Issue

I am having the same problem on Froyo everything worked fine once Gingerbread update came out I know have the q appearing when typing a text as well as random screen freezing. Also if I reboot its fine for a couple of days and then it happens again. If you google gingerbread screen freezes you will see everybody is having this problem. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] vanstrien:
I turned on SD card encryption and then took some photos. When I tried to copy the files off using a USB cable the photos show in my photo browser as corrupted.

To make things worse, now the photos are unreadable directly on the phone too.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] qipengart:
Looks like you got a bad corrupted SD card.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vanstrien:
I don't think it was that. All my other files are fine. Now that I've turned off device encryption files store ok too.

I just would have expected the phone to decrypt the files as they are copied off via USB. Instead it copies off the encrypted files directly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vanstrien:
I'm posting the fix in case it helps someone.

I turned off decryption, did the reboot, and still couldn't see the photos. However, after a few days and a few random, unsolicited reboots, the pictures became visible again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannerw_2010:
Alright here's the deal. I have an app idea for a game that I plan on creating that is very simple, and I have a good feeling it will take off. My worries is that developing it will almost be pointless because of the lax android market policy. I am a new programmer, so my worry is I will make the app pretty decent, and some more experienced programmer will be able to duplicate it and make it better. This just doesn't seem right. I know this happens all the time (Fruit Slice, for example, is a Fruit Ninja knockoff and it's free).

Android is a love it/ hate it relationship. Users love being able to download just as good of knockoffs for free, but I'm sure this is a major turn off for developers who worked hard on their original idea's, just to have it undercut by another developer who will offer a similar (or even better app) for free. Part of me wishes I could just develop it for iOS, but I don't have a Mac or iPhone, and don't ever plan on getting one.

My question is, is there anyway to stop it? Like a patent, or something similar? This is my major hesitation to developing for android. I know I'm not going to be the best programmer out there, but it's the idea that make the apps, and that's where I feel like (I'm sure a lot of other people do too) I could do some contributing. Let me know how you guys feel about this

welcome to programming for any platform. There are (free) alternatives to almost every single program (android-based, windows-based, etc...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
I think you're in a very bad place to ask about that question. Programmers are usually not at all fond of patents since they tend to be overly broad, hard to detect and generally of low quality. (In case you haven't noticed that's also my opinion)

But yes, if that's what you want to do, a patent would be the way to go. Copyright protects your code, but not your idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dugiteddy:
Make it free. Put ads on it. If it takes off make an iOS one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leftAlone:
As far as I can remember, from my Intellectual Property Law class, software (i.e. apps) cannot be the subject of a patent. But of course, this changes from country to country.

Here are some links you might want to read up on:

http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/en/patents_faq.html#software

http://www.freibrun.com/articles/articl2.htm
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Computer-based inventions... yeah, they're not supposed to be patentable: Not in the US and even less in the EU. The key point is how computer-based inventions is defined. The standard way around it is simply to patent "a machine doing XY" instead of "XY"

Basically, the patent clerks don't check for anything but formalities. I used to help out on the peertopatent platform, but it just became ridicolous because the clerks would let everything through no matter what prior art or explanations of obviousness we provided.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gusar321:
Patenting is the worst thing you can do. Don't you read all the patent BS going around lately? Also, spending money on a patent won't be enough, you'll also need to spent money enforcing it, and you won't make any friends by being a litigator.

All you can do is provide the best product you can come up with and hope for the best. If someone makes something similar but better, well, you'll just have to work harder. Or drop the whole thing.

But as others have said, you'll have this problem on *all* platforms. A practical example, when Nero released their burning app for Linux, my thought was "This is kinda cool, but why would I pay for Nero, when there's K3B and other apps that to the job, but are open source and free?"

The trick is to provide something others don't have. In the case of NeroLinux it's familiarity for ex-Windows folks or dual-booters. In your case it could be more features, better graphics, easier to navigate interface, regularly provided additional content... something in that direction.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Shame on me.

2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...

I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...

I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..

Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!

Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Netflix works fine on the latest Gingerbread update for Inspire. I don't know about google videos.

So does video calls with Skype, just no FFC, and the GB update was rolled out a couple weeks ago. I know google videos won't work with rooted devices, but I don't know about the stock Inspire ROM
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Hold on... why and how Google video is not allowed on rooted phones (i have stock rooted)??

Also the GB update isn't unstable still?

Tnx so much for the netflix app!

Google f*ck up this time...
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
yea - no disagreement here.

And just realized I missed your question about the stability of the GB update - I hadn't heard anything about it being unstable. I'm currently running virtuous unity v 1.33 (GB 2.3.4), which is in Beta, and seems incredibly stable to me. There are other GB ROMs that have been out for a WHILE that are also incredibly stable. If you're already running stock rooted, then you have root and guessing you're s-off, why not flash a custom GB ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Oh no i meant the OFFICIAL one... I tried various roms and the only one I feel confortable with on the Inspire is the stock with sense and stock radio... So when I heard about the official GB update I was very happy... instead it's full of major bugs.. shame.

I will wait till they fix the update and somebody cooks the original rom... I'm not really a Sense fan but it performs very well on their devices...
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
Try rumrunner. It is the official gb sense rom update that is optimized.I've been using it for weeks now and its been very stable and have had no issues with it so far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Thanks for the lead... I'll give it a try for sure...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
i hear the guy that put that rom together is a huge jerk too (i wont repeat the name that he was called last night). :D

lol

give it a shot and let me know what you think. i can handle criticisms pretty damn well.

Yes I noticed... I was reading the 62 pages of your thread and you are a damn rock... they threw anything at you :P ... I'm at page 18, it's quite gripping, better than hbo series lol... XD

BTW I'm gonna download it and report my opinion... I'm hard to change ROM and get too far from the stock/ish ones and this seems what i was looking for..

[Galaxy 3 General] TechDudeGeorge:
I installed Kyrillos Rom v1.0 and partioned my formatted SD Card in CWM with 1024m for ext3 and 256 for swap. But booted into the OS and there's no extra RAM and it shows no extra storage.

And if I then install an application it still takes up phone memory, and using app2sd to move it to SD Card still puts it on my main SD Partition.

The only thing that changed is now when I remove the SD Card the phone crashes.
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
Install titanium backup and look for sdcard(app2sd), you will see the extra space..

Kyrillos uses app2sd v2 which doesn't totaly transfer all data to sd ext, a part of internal memory will always be used.. don't worry it wont get full till you indtal ~150 apps :)
[Galaxy 3 General] TechDudeGeorge:
To get apps on the ext3 partition, do I have to use the app2sd app and move apps to SD? Or do I just download like normal and they get put on that partition?
[Galaxy 3 General] lczxzhixun:
in fact, it hided,you can use R.E. explore or TIback to show swap and app2sd area.
[Galaxy 3 General] TechDudeGeorge:
Okay this is strange. Titanium backup is showing an app2sd partition even when I take out my sd card ...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epoh:
So, this morning was the first day of school for my kids. Of course I snap several photos then go to txt the pictures to the grandparents. And the phone goes to send..... and then just sits there.... for ages. Then eventually errors out. Odd, but you know, at&t is kind of crap so I figure I'll try it when I get to work. A few mins later I receive a picture msg from my sister and I cannot open that either.

Anyway, it looks like I cannot send or receive multimedia messages now. After chatting with the at&t support person for what seemed like hours, he says the problem is likely with my phone and i need to do a warranty replacement.

I am thinking that's a ROM bug/issue, right? Would doing a master reset possibly fix this? Has anyone else had this problem? (I'm running the at&t official GB ROM, I did not do the OTA update though. I did the full pudding/root pre-install load.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arachneon:
Mmm, I don't how it is named in English, but you should have something called "data management" in the setting.

In there there a 2 menus : in the first "data stream control" (or something like that, again I have a French rom) you should deactivate it or MMS can not been sent/received.

At least that was the case for me. This also prevent from doanloading app with only 3g, you must have wifi.

This is quite annoying because I can't control the data AND send MMS but wel... maybe there is another workaround.

Edit : I'm in 2.2.2, I don't know if that will be the same in 2.3.4.

Detailed Technical Specifications of Motorola DEFY+ MB526

Related_Page: http://developer.motorola.com/products/defyplus-mb526/

But the big question is: Can we use the rom of Defy+ After Release without green lens problem????
[Defy General] zakoo2:
nope, the mb526 has bayer module, its roms wont have the drivers for the soc module. we cant do anything until they unlock the bootloader...
[Defy General] walter79:
:confused: They released defy+ with android 2.3.3. (latest Leaked was 2.3.4) I think with greenbreadmod we can use all defy+ roms on green lens defys.

Android 2.3.3. can rooted direct.
[Defy General] Karthik K:
AFAIK, It is not possible until the bootloader is unlocked (I wonder why they want to complicate things for themselves :D ). Again, from what I have seen here (after a long gap of inactivity :o ) greenbreadmod is not fully compatible with CM7 (if that's what you are talking about, and I don't know about nightlies. The RC1, which my friend has doesn't seem to have it). So, even if defy+ roms are ported somehow, onto defy, those with green-lens have to wait till someone gets the mod up and running on CM7... or Motorola themselves upgrade defy to gingerbread (which is possibly not happening, cuz defy+'s sole marketing vantage point lies on 'gingerbread').

Hope I have answered your question...

who said anything about cm7? we were talking about using the stock gb mb526 rom on a green lens mb525.

[Defy General] Karthik K:
He he.. Sorry, kinda got carried away... doesn't that depend on motorola then?
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Not really. I think the average everyday Joe would see 1GHZ over 800MHZ as the selling point. GB would be secondary if at all. People I talk to are more concerned about speed than what OS it's running. IMO

ummm... I said all of those by mistake. I can prove to you why 1ghz would take lesser priority over GB, but I don't think hijacking this thread is a good idea. This doesn't quite fit here does it?
