[EVO 4G General] mustangboy88:
The manager at the local Sprint store here says they are allowed to repair rooted phones as long as it's not software related. So with it being a repair for the power button, you should be fine.

Have you gone to the store yet to see what they can do for you? You're acting like they are going to call the police on you if you bring a rooted phone in there. They are not in the clouds of what can be done with Android.

Typed on my CyanoSavaged SuperEvo.
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
I've been having the same issue on and off for a few months. Sometimes the power button will not work at all, other times it will, and sometimes it will only work if you press it VERY lightly, if you try to press it normally it will take it as if you were holding it down and the reboot menu pops up. When it decides it really wants to act up it drives me crazy. I'd have to set my screen to never turn off.

I was hoping I could just keep from throwing my Evo into a wall until the GSII comes to Sprint, but then I found out that the upgrade is off full retail price and not a 2-year contract price, even though they make you sign another 2-year. And I'm not about to pay $500 for a phone.

So if it keeps doing this I guess I'll just take it in to get serviced, I really don't think they will care if it's rooted as long as it's a hardware issue.
[HTC Sensation] bob465:
Been using a Technocel Platinum MV3CPCP that came with a Moto Razr v3 to charge my HTC Sensation and used it previously with a BB8900 with no issues.

But when in the car listening to the Music app and GPS nav runnin' it eventually drains the battery meaning that the fone is using more power than the charger is providing but it is a USB charger putting out nominal power so this must mean the the fone "can" use more power than is provided while charging by normal means (USB spec), yes? ... anyone else with a similar experience?

TIA
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
It all has to do with current output capacity. If you look at the wall charger, it has a max output of 1A (1000mA). Your current usb charger doesn't seem to be able to supply enough current to your phone if your phone is draining while charging.

Try to get a new car charger that does at least 1A, and you'll be good.

We'll take Supra Rom for example.

If it LOOKS like AOSP, the apps WORK like AOSP, why isn't it considered AOSP?

Is there something that MAKES a Rom AOSP specifically?
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Android Open Source Project. When you see AOSP it means its as basic as it gets.
[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
an AOSP ROM is compiled from the sources provided by the Android project.

SupraROM is still a Sense-based ROM, just with a bunch of AOSP stuff thrown in
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Yes, my ROM isn't technically AOSP because it wasn't built directly from Google's source with ONLY Google programming. True AOSP has zero Sense in it, whereas mine was just heavily modified to look as much like AOSP as I could possibly make it. The new ROM in my sig however, Pulse, is true AOSP because it has no influence from HTC's devs. No apps from them, no framework from them, nothing. Just straight Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] rstuckmaier:
Um, Pulse was not built from Google's source. If it was, where is your modified source code? Do you have a Github link?
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
I never said it was built from Google's source. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
Okay, thank you everyone.

That's exactly what I thought.. but I just wanted to make sure whether there's something specific that sets them apart.

And Empiire, to be completely honest.. I LOOOOOVE SupraRom, just for that reason alone (that it's merged between the two). I hope you never stop working on it. =]
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
it seemed so sad to have all these posts about aosp but nobody provided a link to the actual repository where all official android developer publically released code and comments are kept!

for those interested and for the record - below is the link for the official aosp code in all its glory!!

http://android.git.kernel.org/
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Well thank you, I was originally planning on leaving the thread to die but I've had plenty of PMs asking to keep development going, so I guess I will. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
You should at least keep up on it until you get sound working on Pulse. Seriously, if we had an AOSP Rom with sound working I would be rockin it. I have to be able to make and receive calls, or I would be all over it. From what I understand, you can't hear the person you are calling. I'm going to continue to use Supra AOSP version until we get a working AOSP build with sound.
[HTC EVO 3D] rstuckmaier:
You implied it. I quoted it. You defined an AOSP ROM as being one built from source then claimed Pulse was "true AOSP."

To the OP: their ROMs currently are "AOSP based" at best. They are not compiling these ROMs from source. They are "porting" them, in a sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
Damn dude, chill. I'd check out a dictionary if I was going to be this technical about everything. Lmao.
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Ive seen some ROMs running Rcmix kernal and confirm that it works for their ROM, but the ROM is based off the new update. Anyone been able to confirm that it indeed works for it?? Ill probably try here in a min but wanted to get some advice or feedback before I made that plunge.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
No.

They are 2.3.3 only.

There are no custom kernels for 2.3.4 until HTC releases their source for 2.3.4

[Galaxy S II General] rockky:
I know, wrong forum. I'll get no sympathizers here.....regardless, I toast Steve Jobs and his amazing accomplishments in this industry.

As much as I love Android, and wouldn't go back after 3 years of IPhoneness for most of the same reasons/frustrations most of you wouldn't, I don't subscribe to the

I hate Jobs/Apple, type childishness.

Credit where credits due.

Control freak or not, he's THE pioneer in developing an elegant OS that still hasn't been matched, and pushing this technology to the masses..

Cheers Steve. Good luck.

This is of course going to be objected to with venomous fervor....specially since our Samsungs presently under 'attack' lol. Could care less.

Won't be responding.

Just wanted to get this out there.
[Galaxy S II General] namelok:
Agreed, like it or not, he was one of the visionaries that made all of this possible, cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
he is not CEO anymore of Apple

Agreed he was the one
[Galaxy S II General] admartian:
Don't really have a problem with Jobs, but I don't think there's anything wrong with those that 'hate' apple or Jobs. Not childish at all to be put off by someone/company/something.

Of coursee, all to a certain extent.

A lot of things that a company does can put off a lot of people, and that's certainly valid, and most certainly not "childish" as you put it.

Granted a lot of people on the internet are childish. Still doesn't invalidate other people's opinions.
[Galaxy S II General] ThaiM:

And about your Elegant OS, http://www.neowin.net/news/os-x-lion-fails-to-check-passwords-if-authenticating-via-ldap (and again, back to false advertising about elegancy and being cool and all)

Sorry but I hated him since Amiga vs. Mac days, so he can go to hell, see if I care...
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Steve Jobs will always be remembered for taking a company from the brink of bankruptcy to one of the most powerful in the world. The iPod and iPhone have forever changed the landscape for media and mobile devices. If it wasn't for him/Apple I'd probably still be using a crackberry. While it's not been explicitly stated, it's a shame that health issues have forced him to step away.

[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
No matter what anyone says, the truth is if there were no iPhone, there would be no Android. We'd probably still be using XDA's with resistive screen and stylus.

So a big thank you to Steve Jobs for being a trail blazer. I wish him all the happiness in the world in his retirement.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitroz:
I totally agree with the OP. As much as we fight with Apple products, they're still good products regardless and Steve Jobs started it all off with the iPod then progressed to the likes of an iPad. He's only stepping down and he's acting as a Chairman now. It must be difficult to be a CEO of one of the richest companies out there.
[Galaxy S II General] viva.fidel:
Well it should matter what people say because you're badly informed, Android started in 2003, and was bought by google in 2005, the iphone was first displayed in jan 2007

First capacitative screen was the lg prada

I remember having the Nokia N95 when the very first iphone came out.. it had a 5mp camera, int camera for videocalls, supported wifi streaming of music/vids etc.. apple only had these features with the iphone4 in 2010! (any my nokia supported flash!)

Jobs may be prolific, and he certainly has left his mark on the tech world, but the real geniuses at apple are the guys in marketing who make an ordinary product (which is lagging the latest tech in many aspects) seem extraordinary
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Jobs is an ass, anyone who knows anything about Apples history knows this. It always irritates me when people hate on Bill Gates so much when he runs the world s largest charitable organization (The Gates Foundation) and has pledged (via the Giving Pledge) to give away the majority of his personal wealth, along with a number of other high profile Billionaires. Has Jobs? Has he hell, hes more interested in getting more money for his crappy devices and stealing IP. Even Baron Hilton is on the Giving Pledge list!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
All my respect!
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Apple and Job did nothing new, they merely took existing technologies and concepts, as viva.fidel described, and made them better. Can't knock Apple for that, they did a good job, but it's a bit rich them trying to sue others for copying their ideas...
[Galaxy S II General] matiaz0:
Without Mr. Jobs, 90 % of the industry will be the same Nokia industry for much more years, all we have now is thanks to mr Jobs. Thanks for pushing to the limit all the other companies.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Let's get some fact straights. The first Android device, the HTC G1, was released October 22, 2008. So for those doing the math that's a year after the first iPhone was released and several months after the 2nd gen iPhone. Those Google guys were real trailblazers :rolleyes:

I do agree though that back in the day Nokia made some great devices. I remember when the E71 came out. Unfortunately, Nokia like Blackberry are heading into the toilet. We all chose the Android platform for different reasons but because of the iPhone Android was forced to step up their game in order to stay competitive.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
As a person, I feel for him for his health, and wish him all the best.

As for apple and all their innovations, they simply take "Water" and re-brand it "I-Clear" and everyone buys it.

He is a magician for selling water to fishes, but at the end of the day, they simply take failing fads such as video calling, re-branding it Face Time and sheep buy into it. Very clever.

The new voice control software rumoured to be in the next Iphone, will probably be called Voice Time, and suddenly everyone will be out and about shouting at their phones to "Call John!! Call John!!" and then followed by "I said Call John! Not call Joan!!". Still people will say Apple invented it, and that it's great.

As for Mac's and Mac OS, Ugly, slow software. Sure it might not crash.. apparently, but still hate it.

Anyway as I said, he is a very clever man for pulling wool over people's eyes, so I say get well soon!
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Obvious flame bait but here it goes.

It's funny that a Dutch judge yesterday said that most of Apple's claims are invalid because of prior art. So there goes your "he's the pioneer" thesis.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Some of us in the Android community have become experts at fooling ourselves.

I was here when iPhone 1 came out. I was using a horrendous Windows Mobile phone. The screen was unresponsive. Icons and buttons were so small, you couldn't even accurately tap them with a stylus. A cumbersome start menu was the main way to launch apps. Buying an app and installing it on the phone was such a horrible experience. There was no way to buy music online and download it to the phone. I can go on and on...

iPhone was the phone that changed all that. When iPhone was released, I remember watching youtube videos of Steve Jobs showing its features with my mouth open, not believing what I was seeing... and believe me, there was no Android phone around back then...
[Galaxy S II General] ChongoDroid:
Steve was a bad ass nerd and a marketing genius. Personally i want apple to do well, because if they do it we'll do it too... But better. Unless you got raped by steve or have shares in google you really dont need to hate apple... only the fanboys :P
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Ever heard of Palm or Nokia or Sony or Erricsson? Just because YOU didn't know of the existence of something better (and was stuck with your WinMo device) doesn't mean something better didn't exist.

And uuuum, the first iPhone was pretty sluggish too. So was the second and the 3G. It wasn't up untill the 3GS the devices started to get useable.
[Galaxy S II General] Andy2.2:
Dislike the guy, won't miss him :D
[Galaxy S II General] nookcoloruser:
"Dislike the guy".. Why. Do you have a intimate relationship with him to develop that opinion? If not your basing your dislike on a lot of presumptions about what a person is really like. You may not like Apple products - but their vision has propelled them into being one of the most valuable companies in the world. And most of that vision came from Steve Jobs. Credit where credit is due.

You won't miss him ? Again Why.. Are you often hanging around the board of Apple and he's always taking your car parking space and the last paper cup at the water fountain ?

Otherwise why would you miss him one way or the other..

Sad that someone who has pioneered so much of the industry - has to step down for health reasons. This is not like Bill Gates retiring to concentrate on his charity activity, this is down to ill health because of cancer.

He took a company from the brink of bankruptcy to one of the most influential and iconic companies in the world.

What have you done lately ?
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
The things you've mentioned say nothing about his personality. Just because he has an illness doesn't mean he's a good person. Infact I know lots of people who are bastards and use their illness as an excuse to get away with it.
[Galaxy S II General] nookcoloruser:
This is true. The point I was trying to make is to say you dislike or like someone without any kind of experience of them is presumptuous.

Though one should have a passing respect for his accomplishments within the industry, and whether you like their products or not - they have redefined and shaped many of the products we own. A lot of that vision in the last 15 years was down to Jobs directly. And for that at least we should say fair play to the man, and good luck in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] deli_gt:
When the first iphone came out it was amazing as apple says. But now apple has gone down, with all the legal patent battle.

My reason for not using apple is the way they want to control everything, and playing dirty.

The truth is apple copyed samsung in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Well lets just agree to disagree then. I don't think they've accomplished anything in the industry, not technical anyway. What they're good at is design and human interfaces and that's what they did, nothing more nothing less. They didn't turn the industry upside down, they didn't innovate some completely new design, they didn't research new technology. Although they like to act as if they are the tech industry they are not.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
I had the 1st iphone and trust me when i say, the phone used to reboot on its own 5 times a week and when you plugged it back into the PC - it used to sync and wipe your phone.

5 times a week, no bull****.

It was only until the next version of the firmware came out where this problem was fixed. (1 YEAR after release)

People seem to forget the early days...

Ive seen the future, and its with Android.
[Galaxy S II General] LonelyJourney:
Plus a thousand to this. The iphone did nothing other phones hadn't been doing for years. Remember MMS? EVERYONE went crazy about. A complete joke. Screw apple.

Many thanks and cheers to Steve! I don't like how Apple behave to customers, but without Apple we all will still have those creepy Nokia smartphones with lazy Symbian and horrible PC suite.

Apple kicks this industry hard and I'm really thankful for this. More companies like this will maybe force those oldguys (Nokia, MS, Sony, HP,...) to finally start doing something.
[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
I love Android but like Steve Jobs. He invented Apple and created conditions necessary for Android. He is a true Visionary.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
It's amazing how people believe Steve Jobs brought about the smartphone revolution. First of all, Android is much older than the iphone guys. Second of all, Steve Jobs brought nothing new to the table with the iphone. Before you praise a man for something, make sure he actually did it first? :confused:

Anyway, this is an Android forum, do not troll it with Apple fanboyism, it doesn't have its place here anyhow.
[Galaxy S II General] Black-Star:
Don't be a hater.. There's a lot of chance that without iOS android would not be like it is today. The current state of the mobile (smart) phone and touch screen industries is almost 100% to be credited to Jobs and Apple. Without that revolution, people would still use Windows Mobile and Blackberry junk OS software on their phones. Any mobile OS, including Android, radically changed after iPhone's introduction. But still, I prefer android.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
That's just not true though. All apple brought to the market was a cute homescreen with icons, and the wiping to and from pages, which honestly isn't all that revolutionary if you ask me. It had already been created for years on desktop and laptop PCs running Windows. Touchscreens are nothing new.

I'm not being a hater at all, I couldn't care less about fanboyism and who's better than who. But gotta give credit where credit is due, and Steve Jobs isn't deserving of it.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Personally im a bit sick of the various different Apple threads on here may i suggest the moderators move these to the off topic section, this forum is for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and anything related to this phone and this does not include the bloody iPhone, it's bad enough having to listen to some fanboys drooling about the iPhone including 1 or 2 friends about how wonderful this phone is :rolleyes: they haven't a clue and despite pointing out how clearly obvious the GS2 is better they come out with some nonsense.

I don't really care about Steve Jobs or Apple, im sorry he has pancreatic cancer i wouldn't wish that on anyone but this forum is for the GS2 and Android and the Apple/iphone threads need to be moved to off topic.

Rant Over.........
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
For the record id never buy anything Apple related, anything that isn't open source like Android i wouldn't have any interest in, you do what Apple say you can do and that's that, reminds me of being in bloody school:eek: no thanks....
[Galaxy S II General] laxwillsch:
I think what people are getting confused is the fact that apple and jobs did not actually invent any of the things that they get credit for, they just brought them into the view of mainstream society. They just have amazing marketing strategies that make people believe that they invented it. Like already stated most of the things that made the iphone "revolutionary" were actually developed earlier by other companies. So Jobs does need to be congratulated for his time at apple, but not as a revolutionary but for clearly bringing these things we love so much in to the spotlight, which in turn helped propagate innovation and perfection. I don't think the loss of Jobs will actually hurt apple in anyway because the isheep follow what apple markets to them no matter if it is better or not. Just look at it this way, at least we don't have most of them in our forum clogging our dev sections with stupid posts. I say cheers to jobs for a job well done, no matter what you say there is no denying that even though they did not invent most of the tech, they sure made it poplar.
[Galaxy S II General] svartis:
The main problem with apple is their lack of social resposibility. Compare to microsoft and google donations back to the society.
