Canceled

This article actually caused me to cancel my subscription to eWeek. I'm not an Iconia user - though I use several Android and iOS devices - but I'm sick of the Apple bias and Android bashing at eWeek. They're absurdly anti-Android and this was the final straw. I'm tired of getting annoyed every time I read a mobile computing article full of misinformation and outright lies on their site.

I don't know if all ZD publications are this bad, but eWeek's reporting has really damaged my opinion of ZD's journalistic integrity. I'm planning to send the editor a note telling them how I feel about it. It's sickening.
[Acer Iconia A500] tjleeland:
I just sent this to both of them:

Mr. Brooks,

Yesterday I read an article on your site titled "10 Tablets That Should Join HP TouchPad on the Extinction List" by Don Reisinger. Today I unsubscribed to all of eWeek's online newsletters and plan to end my subscription to eWeek print edition as well.

Honestly, I'm just sick of the endless anti-Android articles your publication puts out. I use an Macbook Pro daily (and wouldn't even consider using another laptop line) and own an iPad. I've owned three iPhones as well. I'm far from an Apple hater. But I also own a Xoom and my current phone is a Motorola Droid X2 (I switched to Android to escape AT&T, not Apple). As someone who uses both iOS and Android, I have a pretty good feel for the strengths and weakness of both. Both are good products, and having two major players in the space has benefited consumers regardless of which OS they adopt.

I have to live with seeing iOS vs. Android flame-wars all over the internet, and it's childish and waste of everyone's time. Fortunately, most respectable publishers tend to make an attempt to stay close to the center and avoid taking an obviously biased stance. Unfortunately, eWeek seems to run pro-Apple, and downright anti-Android articles 95% of the time. In fact, the only article I can remember that didn't bash Android was one on what apps you can download to your Android device look more like an iPhone.

I would cite examples, but given the overwhelmingly negative nature of the articles, it seems to me that you have to be consciously aware of what you're doing. I will say that the worst thing about Don's article was the glaring errors he made when giving the stats of the Iconia, which he incorrectly claimed came with a 2-megapixel camera and Honeycomb 3.0. I'd be very surprised to find that an experienced tech reporter like Don doesn't know that such a low-resolution camera is only ever included as the front-facing alternative to a higher-resolution rear-facing camera. If not, it doesn't reflect well on him and his knowledge of the mobile devices he reports on.

My opinion of eWeek's integrity has plummeted, and Ziff Davis' along with it. I want no more to do with your amateurish reporting, lies, and biased take on the mobile computing market.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Well done.

That "review" was one of the most obvious Apple funded articles I have ever read. Misinformation, lies, and lack of intregity will be the death of ZDnet.
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
ugh. one of his latest articles (yesterday) suggests people should buy those devices that he wants to be extinct. WTF

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and...loser-Look-From-Enterprises-Consumers-502909/
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
Don is all about numbers. He could care less about the content of his posts. It is commonly known that any title with "Top ten" in the title will get alot of views. Read it because you agree, disagree, will complain with links to it, or are simply doing shopping research and the ad money machine still makes money.

Any time I've written a "top #" about anything post on my blog I've gotten a new peak of page hits. Makes me want to write a "Top 5 tech writers you can't trust" article.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npiper05:
Hi All

I'm running ginger yoshi 1.3 with pershoots kernel. My battery life has not been great. Maybe lasting 4 or 5 hours on a full charge. Any suggestions? I am using SetCPU and do have a screen off profile enabled. I do have an extended battery, I just don't like the added bulk. I have a Cliq XT I could use, but really like the keyboard on the G1. Is there a better kernel for battery life? I'd like to stick with Gingerbread if possible, so if there is a better gingerbread rom out there for battery life, I'd take it.

Thanks!

Nick

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] casemandan:
I used to have the same issue.

Your phone is broken all u can do is to keep it from overheating by underclocking it and only use for short duration of time when using high intensity applications.

I had to get a replacement bc it used to shut down on me at least once a day and then I had to wait for it to cool down before being able to reboot it and use it.

So either try to get a replacement and if you cant just sell it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mistarose:
I am running Infused 2.04 on my Infuse, and have always had the problem where photos taken while the phone is vertical, end up sideways when uploaded to Google+, sent in emails, and on the phone itself after I flash a new rom.

In other words, it seems the pictures themselves are not embedded with the picture orientation data, so when opened in other places, they are not rotated correctly.

For some reason, they upload to Facebook correctly, but no where else.

:confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PharmNerd:
Resurrecting this thread.. Anyone happen to have a solution?

In my case, my portrait photos get rotated in Facebook, Google+, Twitter... seemingly any app I connect to using the "Share" function in the Gallery app. Oddly enough, the photos display in the correct portrait orientation in the Gallery app itself; they just get rotated when I try to share them.

I can fix the rotation by cropping a tiny sliver off the photos in the Gallery app; but doing so reduces the photo down to roughly VGA resolution.

Running Infused 2.3.3. Auto-rotation is enabled in the phone's settings.

[TouchPad General] newtonfb:
I'm wondering if its possible to receive calls on touchpad? I pay $2 a month for Skype number. I also got the google voice app that's in prepare. But when I call either number it won't go through. Is there anyway to receive calls so maybe I can get rid of cell phone plan?
[TouchPad General] BadBoyNDSU:
I've used Skype, so I know it should work. You must be doing something wrong.
[TouchPad General] gKNOWS:
u can receive skype calls but i believe if you keep the device off for too long it automatically signs you off of skype..to avoid that i guess open up the messaging app and then make urself "available" after a while.

as far as the "google voice app that is in prepare" not sure what ur are talking about ???? but could you elaborate because i'm looking for a google voice app rather than having the use the google.com/voice website for most of my sms's
[TouchPad General] The Jack of Clubs:
im pretty sure he means google talk, not google voice. in gingerbread, with the right apk or phone, you can make video calls with google talk.
[TouchPad General] newtonfb:
theres a google voice app.

Download the webos quick install and press the globe icon on the right. Once that loads just seach google voice and its there. Its nothing great, defiantly wish there was something better but its better than nothing.

Regarding skype....i cant recieve calls on it. I can call out fine but when i try to have someone else call me from their cell phone it wont happen.
[TouchPad General] gKNOWS:
hmm havent had anyone call me from their phones just a skype to skype call so not sure if that would make any difference.

and gonna check out that google voice app right now

[TouchPad General] heavyt:
I did not see an app called google voice. I did find an app called P2Google Voice in the HP App Catalog, but I had no luck in making phone calls (it seems to be for the handset only).

If there was a Google Chat plug-in for webOS browser then we could make/receive calls in the touchpad. Or if there was a app to setup a sip account the touchpad one could make/receive calls.
[TouchPad General] avinyc:
P2GoogleVoice has been discontinued, so it won't work at all.

The only current app in the catalog is GV Text, which I have heard does not work either.

So, our only hope may be Linphone, which was being worked out by webosinternals:

I emailed Skype customer service and they confirmed that no calling credit is used for incoming calls to your Skype #...so I assume no credit is needed if you use as callback to call out. Now all we need is a half decent GV app for the touchpad....even a modified browser may work...anyone?

[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
I don't understand why a factory reset would do this because those settings are in the phone itself, a factory reset wipes your ROM back to it's original state, wipes cache and all that good stuff if I'm correct.

Either way I've reset mine and never had to reenter any settings. But if you do then you would just need to get them off your donor phone and reenter them as you did when you originally cloned the phone.
