[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BewareAlbatross:
Sorry I don't post all that often but anyhoo, this I felt compelled to reply to because you're trying to compare a banana to a small weasel.

I owned a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. What a piece of junk. And app development was a nightmare. It was like Android, running on a plethora of different hardware configurations, but also unlike Android in that it had no centralized app repository nor any sort of openness or support for non-Windows platforms.

And now you have Windows Phone 7, which has addressed all the shortcomings of 6.5 and early with an entirely new approach, and yes, it is definitely one way of solving a problem. But they've also done what Microsoft does best and browbeaten vendors into meeting their minimum standards for phones, which is *why* there's near-perfect app support. You buy a WinMo phone yep, you can guarantee it'll run apps because they're all built to a minimum standard which is not minimal at all.

I have my beautiful little heavily hacked T-Mobile Comet that I got free with a contract extension. It might be a little slow sometimes but it lets me read my books and make my calls and listen to my tunes and it's all I need from a smart phone. You can run servers on it and connect to work networks and block ads and all manner of things that can never be done without great difficulty on a platform like Win Phone 7.

The sheer might and majesty of Android is in the "fragmentation." I can run the latest 2.3 on a phone built for 2.2, overclock well past factory, and it doesn't blink or drain battery in half an hour. The specs are WAY below what would be considered the "minimum" for a Windows Phone and yet here it is running the latest and greatest without complaint. It wouldn't even get past the bootloader with Windows. I love that. You can accomplish so much with Android, in fact if there's a bug you can usually figure out how to fix it yourself or find a dev who has an idea on the subject.

I'll gladly take Firefox not being built for my phone yet over Windows where I might never see crucial software. There're other web browsers out there and the great thing about Android is, eventually it'll either be built officially or somebody'll figure out how to compile it. Good luck finding that with Windows Phone 7.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] len_smith:
I wanted to pass along my opinion on a sleeve-type case I recently purchased for my GT-7510. I was looking for a higher-end case, something that would protect the Tab and also look good.

After looking at a number of brands, I decided to look at the products of a company calles SFBags. They offered a number of items for tablets, from sleeves to smaller sized messeger bags.

I contacted the company to ask about their products and they were very helpful, asking for the measurements of my Tab (with the bumper) and what I needed from a case. After several email exchanges, they suggested I try one of their small messenger bags, knowing that I may need to return it. I purchased the bag and received it in three days. The bag was really nice, but it was too big for the Tab.

I contacted them again and they were very helpful in assisting me in selecting the alternative, the Tablet Ultimate SleeveCase. I placed the order and the case arrived a week later - the delay because SFBags was waiting on their maker to complete an order.

The sleeve arrived and it was a perfect fit. The staff was very helpful in getting me a size that could accomodate my Tab, with a bumper installed.

You can see the products at sfbags.com. I would have included some images, but I am a new poster and the forum blocked the links to those photos. Sorry.

The case is very high quality and it even has a small loop on the bottom of the case to give you leverage when you pull the Tab out of the sleeve. The inside of the case is padded with soft material that I believe will protect the Tab from most mishaps and there is a flap cover that is secured with a large velcro strip. Finally, there is a small pouch on the back for storage. I ordered a size #41, to accomodate my Tab with the bumper. You'd need a #40 if you want a sleeve for naked Tab. My only observation is that the pouch on the back would benefit from some way to secure the top so items can't slip out. It would also be nice to offer a place to store a pen or stylus. But those are really trivial issues.

I also want to give a shout-out to the staff at SFBags. They are all very helpful, professional and want you to be satisified with your purchase. In fact, when I had to return the original purchase, I received an email from their CEO, who let me know that they were committed to help me get a case that met my needs. I can't say enough about their level of service and the quality of their products.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr3636:
when my galaxy tab 10.1 is charged to 100% it does: vibrate (if on silent), play a sound (if not on silent), and turn the screen on (very anoying in a dark room at night).

Charging at night with this is a "no no".

How can I turn of all notifications for "charged 100%"?

i.e. my HTC desire phone just changes the led from orange to green when it's charged (no sound, no vibrate, no turn on screen).

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] redsufi:
I personally find live tiles one of the best features of windows phone 7 and with mango 7.5 they were supposed to improve.

I thought it might be useful to have a list of apps which work with live tile updates and also where there may be some issues

on the stock apps i find the messaging, mail, calendar and call tiles work fine

the pictures tile is great now as it shows a screensaver with your favourite pictures - not sure if there is alimit to the number of pictures it shows in rotation

however i have had problems with the me tile and app in general

when i go into it the notifications do not update even though it is connected to facebook and facebook shows new notifications

regarding 3rd party apps i found the following work

beezz - displays counts of new twitter tweets

weather duck -displays temperature

those which i cant get to work at all are

twitter

facebook

has anyone else had similar problems with these apps
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] enigma1nz:
I never installed Facebook app because I found it redundant with People hub. Windows Live with Messenger and pretty much everything else that comes with Mango works very well for me.

I am on Mango 7220 and all my live tiles work - People hub (probably WP7's main selling point for me), phone, messaging, Me (and any people I pin to Start) Pictures shows the sliding pics from the camera roll album and defaults or favorites by choice, Calendar updates the events from pretty much everything you have going, was surprised to find Facebook event invites synchronised as well as appointments and birthdays. Overall it feels like WP7 ties everything together from every source and account.

So the solution to your problem would be Mango. Go for it, you won't regret it.

My 4 year old is not that much of an issue as he understands not to touch the bottom of the screen.

[Motorola Photon 4G] zeravla531:
Hi,

Ever since i switched from the Evo 3D to the Photon, i've been having an issue where a bulk of my texts don't show up till i reset the phone. It's sporadic when it happens. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. I'll have a conversation and miss about 1/2 of their texts or all. Then i reset the phone and 20 texts appear. I used to think it was my air rave (had texting problems previously with it), but i shut it off days ago and the problem happened again yesterday.

I just did a quick update PRL and profile to see if that helps. I did not have this problem with the Evo 3D, only the Photon (happened 3 separate times so far in 2 weeks).

Has anyone else had this problem? Any possible solutions?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo911:
Hi,

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 yesterday (yay me!) but it is a Korean model (Olleh branded SWH-M250K. Ive gathered its from KT). Now I did a lot of research last night and figured out that I can flash any stock firmware to it using Odin and appropriate kernel. So I downloaded a UK stock XXKG6 firmware & kernel, and flashed it using Odin.

But when I flash it, it fails to write factoryfs.img to the phone. And the process fails after that. It looks like this:

First time this happened, it just gave me the Upgrade Firmware screen at startup, and wouldn't boot Android. I could get into download mode though, so I flashed a stock kernel to it. Now this time it booted and all, but when it does, it keeps giving me these errors once every few minutes:

I re-downloaded the Odin 1.85 setup and ran from it. Same result. I thought maybe the downloaded firmware is corrupted. So I downloaded another one XXKH3 for unbranded European model. Tried flashing this firmware with an insecure kernel, but it gave the exact same error.

Now when I flash the stock kernel for it, it works and boots (still with the above error in picture). The system properties are as given in this image:

Can someone please tell me how to have a smooth flash?

Oh and I did manage to root the previous firmware with CFroot, so I have CWM 4 recovery in there as well.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure out what's the problem here. Thanks!

P.S.: Attaching imagery just in case the embed links don't work. Attached in the same order as embedded above.

If m250k is like i9100 you have to wipe stats. As you flashed an official rom you shouldnt have CWM, just go to original recovery, wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo911:
How do I go back to original Samsung recovery?

I installed it with CFroot, then flashed a stock Kernel after root successful & pushed the zImage of CFroot from within the CWM app (NOT Rom Manager. CFroot uses a modified version of it called CWM). Now I don't get the yellow triangle when I boot the phone, but I still have CWM 4 on the phone. I've flashed stock kernels multiple times after that, but the recovery stays as CWM4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Uninstall CWM.

Or Just flash the firmware again, it will un root device and completely remove CWM, SU.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo911:
Well the flashing part is problematic here. It just doesn't finish the flashing of a new firmware on the phone. And I don't have a backup of the actual firmware so im kind of stuck :( If you know a way out, please do point me in the right direction. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ffbf:
Just enter the cwm recovery, go to advanced, wipe dalvik. Back (power button if home is your enter key in cwm), wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset. Doing this you will lose all your apps/data. Didnt see you rooted after the flash, doesnt matter if its original or cwm recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo911:
Ok here's what I just did. I didn't have the M250K stock firmware with me and cant download right now coz im at work, so used the XXKH3 firmware instead.

I went into CWM 4 recovery, wiped the data/factory reset, reboot, into download mode, flashed XXKH3 firmware again. It again got stuck at factoryfs.img. Only this time, I flashed the SHW-M250K stock kernel after it. Rebooted, and now its all working rather smooth. No popup of any kind. Checked on ODIN screen in download mode, and it says the Binary is Samsung official (or something like that), but the recovery is still CWM :s

Now Im just thinking, is it all good if its working alright? I mean when you look at the screenshot above, Odin onlymanaged to push 2 img files to the phone before it fails. Now are the rest more or less the same old ones. What should I do here?

My goal is to get rid of the Korean firmware, and install a stock European 2.3.4 kernel in there. Now its just not letting me finish this task. Even when I download the stock firmware at home and flash it, Im not sure if it will let it flash that as well or not. And let's say that I DO get it flashed, what then? Wouldn't I be back to square one?

Guys I've flashed SHW-M250K with European stock firmware XXKH3, and rooted with CF root. But the flashing didn't go smooth and it failed at the end of flashing factoryfs.img. I flashed the stock kernel for it after that, and the European firmware started working.
