developer build for tablets available this evening: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4781/windows-8-developer-preview-for-everyone

someone figure out install instructions!!!!!!!!!!

At BUILD today Microsoft just announced that the same version of Windows 8 Developer Preview we've been using on Samsung tablets for the past day will be available at 8 PM PST this evening. More details and the ISO will be available on dev.windows.com for anyone with a Live ID to download and try out.

Hey guys, windows 8 coming up

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/13/windows-8-for-tablets-hands-on-preview/

At 8 tonight we can download it :)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/13/windows-8-developer-preview-when-and-where-to-download/

No arm though :(
[Other TouchPad Development] ingenue007:
oh wait, it said for x86....no ARM :(
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
Hmmm, i was wondering, if it will be possible to run Virtualbox on Ubuntu Chroot, and then make a win8 virtual machine on it
[Other TouchPad Development] Wupideedoo:
The developer preview build doesn't support ARM processors. So natively, it will be impossible for a while. It might be possible to set up virtual machines through Ubuntu or something, but performance would be unusably slow.

I am still optimistic that Windows 8 will eventually run on the Touchpad, but it won't be any time soon.
[Other TouchPad Development] kevina90:
i think virtualbox isn't arm
[Other TouchPad Development] yareally:
qemu is the x86 → arm translator and to get an idea of how fast it runs, it's what powers the android emulator on your computer.
[Other TouchPad Development] dan-fish:
What a letdown. Was really excited for it. Guess we'll just have to wait.
[Other TouchPad Development] yareally:
I don't think Windows 8 for ARM will be licensed to anyone but OEMs. It might be on MSDN, but it's not like you're going to see a HOW-TO posting with links to run it on xda since that would be warez.
[Other TouchPad Development] BrianDigital:
Windows 8 would be cool just a reminder to some people even if this ever gets ported on to all your software would most likely not work since all the desktop stuff being utilized for x86 architecture

I've been testing windows 8 for months on end and the dev preview is just for x86 and x64. Microsoft has zero plans of releasing anything to devs for ARM I mean if they did there would be a huge dip in android tablets running ARM
[Other TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
no its not out. Its only a pre-beta release for x86_64 platform not for ARM
[Other TouchPad Development] brooon:
And...to be honest...I´m a bit disappointed with the look and feel of this pre beta (testing it in virtualBox). A little chunky, un-intuitive and awful-coloured^^
[Other TouchPad Development] lynyrd65:
Just like the huge dip in android phones when windows phone 7 was released. :p
[Other TouchPad Development] nayeemr:
Windows 8 works on ARM processors and experts can easily port on HP touchpad and android pads.

[Other TouchPad Development] drt054:
If you downloaded Windows8 just keep in mind it is a developers build.. it is no where near finalized and will have lots of bugs. The tablets that were given to the devs at the conference were AMD Fusion x86 tabs so there really isn't any official ARM out there yet.

Correction the Devs were given a Samsung Tab with bluetooth dock/keyboard that has a intel i5, 4G RAM, 64GB SSD. Engadget posted new Acer Iconia W-500 and a MSI Winpad both with AMD new APU..

Can someone start one of them bounty things for Windows 8 on the TP? I would like that as much as if not more than Android...
[Other TouchPad Development] slimshady322:
You would need an ARM version of Windows 8 to do that.
[Other TouchPad Development] knightnz:
Microsoft has said that the ARM version of Win8 won't run x86 applications (no processor emulation, probably because performance would be unacceptable). That being the case its use will be extremely limited until apps are released for the Win8/ARM platform to make it usable (Mail, Browser, etc). With some of them it may just be a case of recompiling for the different architecture assuming they'll have an ARM native version of dotNET or equivalent.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Depends on your definition of "easily". It'll still require a number of custom drivers, particularly for the touchscreen interface.

P.S. This "post added" thing is great!
[Other TouchPad Development] Paging Dr B:
Don't hold your breath

While yes it's technically possible with the right drivers, it currently isn't possible without the help of MS. If someone does end up up getting this working, you better bet your ass it's someone from MS that got it working. That came from a source of mine @Build. Lets stay focused on Gingerbread, then IceCreamSandwich.
[Other TouchPad Development] slimshady322:
Yeah but Metro apps will run on Windows 8 and the ARM version of Windows 8 is the best we can get since porting the currently released previews (x86 and x64) is impossible.
[Other TouchPad Development] spunker88:
I imagine cross platform/cross architecture programs like Firefox, etc will have Windows ARM versions out fairly quickly, even if they are not stable builds.
[Other TouchPad Development] Puenos:
Just found that at the news section..

Dunno about any relation to the TP, but at least it's some info on porting Win 8 to anywhere :)

Sorry if this is a dupe, I can't seam to search just a form form with the mobile app.

Has anyone else has a issue where after a few days GPS stops working? Anything that requests a fix doesn't get anything, maps and gps fix. Toggling GPS or Airplain modes doesn't fix it. I end up having to reboot, thanks for no reboot option in the power menu moto, and then it works fine.

It seams like a odd bug. I do use task killer somewhat frequently. Are there any apps that will let me restart gps?
[Motorola Droid 3] thatguy0109:
I am having the same issue. One day it works fine, then a couple days later, no go! It doesn't even bring up the icon in the status bar showing that it is trying to get a fix. I have a hard time believing that no one else is running into this issue.

A reboot fixes it, so I have this strange feeling there is an app/process of some sort that is making it hang...
[Motorola Droid 3] gregg098:
Same here. Always does it at the most inconvenient times too.
[Motorola Droid 3] JRowe47:
There have been satellite issues over the last few weeks - solar flares and whatnot - that have disrupted service. Task killers, also, could also be screwing up your system. Tasks aren't the same thing on your phone that they are on Windows, and don't actively use up power and memory. Android generally manages tasks quite well. Using a task killer is wasting more energy than not using it would, I'd bet.
[Motorola Droid 3] ubermetroid:
I get the same issue.

I put the GPS widget on a home screen. I click GPS off - wait a sec - and click it back on. Works.
[Motorola Droid 3] windraver:
I usually have to reboot as well. I've noticed the gps icon just doesn't show up at all.

which reminds me. I really hate VZ navigator. It keeps running.

Found at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-leaked-mango-7720-rtm-on-your-wp7-device-guide/

First of all, grab the file named “7720.rar” from here.

Follow this Mango beta installation guide. Although you can update straight from Nodo, this way will make the remaining procedure much simpler.

Now we come back to the zip file we downloaded earlier. Extract its contents to a secure place in your computer.

In the extracted contents, look for the Zune beta client and install it.

Make sure that step 2 worked fine and you are now on 7712. Once that has been done, go to the folder you extracted and copy the folder named “RCToRTM”.

Go to “C:\” and paste the folder there.

In the pasted folder, look for a file named “ISVTo7720.bat”. Right-click on it and run as administrator.

This will instigate a flurry of updates, don’t panic if it takes time, it’s supposed to be that way. And if all goes according to plan, you will have Windows Phone 7.5 Mango running on your phone!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimatrix725:
That would be my guess. It is a great little device. I would say about 5 yrs max considering the hardware and what is rolling out hardware wise.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRuan:
I would say 2 years at max.

I can bet that even before the end of this year we will see a lot more dual core phone like Xperio Duo and others, as the price goes even smaller this will put an end on x10 life.

Think like me, but based on the specs and speculations i've seen so far:

Xperia Duo:

12MP camera + front camera (1,2 or 2MP not sure)

Dual 1,4GHz processor(most likely able to overclock to 1,7~2GHz

Battery around 2,5AH(2500mAH), we have a 1500mAH or 1600 don't remember now.

....

We can expect to find being developed yet:

Mass storage like pen drive(connecting a pen drive in the phone directly)

Mouse, keyboard and other input stuf.

Further undervolt and overclocks.

Multitouch, real multitouch(no dual touch as it is now with axis issue)

This may be developed sooner, and only maybe...

however OP also need to remember he is in a developer's forum and if these developers would have thought this same thing then we would not have reached this level of customization... still a lot of juice is left in X10i.

boot loader unlocking can actually make a lot of difference...

besides that a lot of other areas have not been focused...

Hello guys!

I finally rooted my Droid Charge, so I bought a mini to micro USB to see if the Sixaxis App was compatible with the Charge (with was a mistake from me), and it turns out that it is not..

So now that I have this cable to connect the controller directly to the phone, I was wondering if there is any way I can use it to make the Sixaxis work

Does anyone know about a program, an app, or anything allowing me to do so?

Thank you!

I had an HD7 that was working. I sold it on ebay and the buyer told me it wasn't working when he received it. He shipped it back and it was broken.

So... now I'm looking to either fix it or sell it to somebody. The phone itself is perfect condition with no scratches. Even has a screen protector.

The issue is that it won't boot up. When you turn it on it just keeps restarting and never gets to the home screen.

I would like to sell it for $150 but if there is a simple fix to the problem I'm willing to try it. I don't know anything about WP7 and I've never done any modding, hacking or whatever it's called. :)

Any help is much appreciated!

System Version: 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US

Baseband Version: N_01.77.30P

Build Number: 4.5.91

I read at a few thread here that we should not update Atrix via the over the air (OTA) update. Now I am not sure how this particular phone was updates and I have no way to find out.

Any of you people have an idea?

I am not looking to install any fancy ROMs at the moment, may be in future.

All I want to do right now is fix the battery issues. Right now my battery percent never shows in increments of 1%. My battery only jumps in increments of 10%... that is 90%..80%...60%...etc.

In order for me to root the phone, I read that it is good to know the way the phone was updated to 2.3.4

Thanks all.

This looks like the official Gingerbread ROM from Motorola that you would get via OTA or their updater from the website. The battery only showing progress in 10% increments is a "feature" of that, so it's not broken per se.

Hi fellows,

I have a rooted GTab P1000L with stock Gingerbread ROM (2.3.3).

I don't want to install a customized ROM, like Overcome for example, because it isn't translated to pt_BR yet. Although, I really want to have GTalk video chat working.

I have done some research and I found that the most suitable gtalk version for GTab is the one from xilard. So, I downloaded this version and installed these files:

/system/lib/libtalk_jni.so

/system/app/Talk.apk

/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

Well, I can use video chat, but I'm having two major issues:

1) I always got a FC when I try to switch from front to rear camera.

2) The streaming video from my galaxy tab seems to be just a part of the whole front camera image. You have to hold your tab somewhat inclined to centralize your face. It doesn't happen with skype, which has a much better image for video calls.

Can anyone help me to fix these issues?

Thanks,

Ronan
