Android only has "kid games"? What exactly is an "adult" versus "kid" game?

Adult Games

- Strip poker

- Virtual Beer Pong

- Virtual Wife Swap (Don't get caught!)

- You're Fired! (Save your 20-year career, loser!)

Kid Games

- Everything else

I mean, c'mon...my son has an original iPad (because his apparently rich parents bought it for him), he's an avid gamer, as am I, and I haven't seen any game that has blown me away in the iTunes store. It's tablets, people. If I want portable, hardcore gaming, I'm reaching for a $5,000 notebook PC (note: NOT a MacBook) every time. Tablets have their place in the gaming arena, but frankly my younger kids' Nintendo DSi XL's do a better job of gaming than the iPad or the A500.

The fact is that the reason why Apple gets the apps first is because (1) They were first, duh, and (2) Developers still gravitate to Apple's single hardware platform rather than having to mess with Android's variety of hardware. That's slowly changing, though, as Android is getting more developers since Android became the #1 phone OS. I laugh when I see a company or website, etc., announce their "New iPad app" and then all the readers post the reply, "Great! Now where's the Android app?" It's already at the point where you can't just put out an Apple app.

As for the OP, I would've simply turned around and said to the Apple zealot, "The fact that you felt the need to say all that pretty much says it all about your iPad." You can't fix stupid and never waste your time trying to correct a zealot.

So, your solution is just to assume that everyone here is just tolerating a bad product and call them idiots? Obviously, we're not encountering the same thing you are. Why don't you put your efforts into troubleshooting your problem with your tablet instead of insulting others who simply aren't seeing your problem(s)?

I'm running the same ROM you are after running my tablet completely stock since I bought it in early May. Flashing and running a custom ROM isn't a perfect science. If you don't like the results you get, then go back to stock, wipe everything and flash again, etc. Sometimes it's not instant gratification. However, at least with Android, you have the option of custom ROMs.

FWIW, I didn't have any of these problems with stock 3.0, 3.1, or a custom 3.2 (relatively stock) ROM. I'm now running ADW Launcher EX on my A500, which has a lot more animations, bells, and whistles, and it's very smooth, no lag, same battery life I've always gotten (just using the stock kernel), and no other problems. I know I'm not the only one and I seriously doubt that I lucked out and bought the miracle version of the A500.

Good luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I am not experiencing such issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] deio:
I apologize, I wasn't meant to insult my fellow members. I love XDA and appreciate the people that work hard to bring us better experiences, something that an entire developer team of a big brand is incapable to deliver.

But there is no magical ROM that will convince me to realize that there are still problems and Tegra 2 hardware is slow and I will better wait for a better tablet to appear, because Android experience is interesting.

Maybe HTC Jetstream if will be launched in Europe, or Galaxy Tab 7.7 if the ban will be lifted.
[Acer Iconia A500] Avery4U:
crossed over.

I work at a resort, one night while I was on the pool deck with my iconia a guy came walking by with a ipad2. He seen I had a tablet and asked the typical questions. I gave him a quick demo. He said he was going to take his crap pad back. He asked where he could pick up a iconia a500 at. Bestbuy came out of my mouth. The next night he shows up again, this time with a a500 lol! He asked if I could show him the basics, so I did. He was well impressed with tee tab. I asked him what made him change up. He said the flash, thumb drive, more storage,and it looks good. He told me thanks and while he was walking away, I said you're welcome once you go Android,you never go back. He laughed and said I won't. He was in the lobby that morning, I noticed a iphone on his side.

I would have told him every android device I own would blow the doors off your naziPad.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
Unfortunately the A100 is not so good as the A500 on battery life. If the smaller size wasn't so convenient for me I'd buy another A500(I gave mine to my g/f).

On the Apple argument, I've got an iPhone 4, mainly because of my previous itunes investments, getting it for around 800 pesos($70 or so) and their products are well made and quite functional. I really think Ice Cream Sandwich will bring Android on par with Apple in nearly every category on the software side and the upcoming Snapdragon, Tegra 3 and OMAP SoCs will get the hardware the rest of the way.

I really don't think Android devices will ever 100% surpass Apple products, Apple has deep pockets and a rabid fan base. I actually hope they never can beat Apple or Microsoft's offerings hands down. Between solid competition driving prices down(Xoom anyone?), it also drives further innovation. Having a variety to choose from is a plus also. I hope all 3 players continue to innovate and bring new features and performance to the table.
[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
I always found it rather funny how in order to be "on par" with the iPad or any apple mind control product, you have to be: faster, slimmer, lighter, brighter, higher resolution, more storage, more accessories, more ram, better gpu, better cpu, and do it all cheaper (preferably at half the cost...since the best android pricing is apparently 300 bucks, and the best iPad pricing is 500 bucks.)

I am a big IT guy, and I build computers, do programming, write apps, and worked with both mac and windows, as well as a massive amount of other OS and programs and applications. As much as I know, to an apple fanboy there is no argument I can make against apple that will counter their "but its an iPad/iPhone" positioning lol. Its all about blind following.

I love android, but Ill bash their bad decisions. same goes for any company or branding I like. Its not a faith or religion, its a consumer product. Apple just has tried to turn it into a religion lol

Reminds me of my brother who is a big Ron Paul fanatic. No matter what ron paul does my brother will believe he can do no wrong. Ron Paul could literally come out in a press conference, light a box of baby puppies on fire and say "This is what we need to do to the deficit" then my brother would buy a tshirt showing a box of flaming puppies and a ron paul logo for 100 bucks.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I certainly can't disagree with you on the A100's battery life. Acer really screwed up with that one.

Sales wise, Android is already surpassing Apple products. Quality wise, they have a way to go yet, unfortunately. Apple are EXTREMELY good at polishing those turds. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] neurod:
To OP, you are smart and know whats good. You will deal with a lot more people like that. You mentioned A & P so I imagine you are in premed / nursing or something along that line. I went down that same road scholastically (med) and you will see it time and time again. A person like that does not make horrible comments like that intentionally, they just do not know better and do not realize it which is sad. Its a general lack of being in touch with humanity which plagues a lot of people. Reminds me of that guy from the big bang theory. Trust me he will pay the price, that personality type does not win people over. Don't let it get to you.

It was the only NFL app they had.
[Epic 4G Apps] rocket321:
I have the stock app called Sprint Football Live from EC05 - not sure if that's what you want. I think NFL ended their relationship with Sprint sometime in the past year so the NFL app was removed from all sprint phones.

Here is the football app, you can try it out just extract from the zip and move to /system/app with a root file explorer of your choice.
[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
try here - should work. they text u a link to dl the app http://sports.sprint.com/football/?ECID=vanity:football

Hi all,

So I got my play sim unlocked and am all set up with emulators and fpse.

I now.want to oc the play in the hope of getting a nice stable 1.4ghz

As I understand it I need to

unlock bootloader via se

Do fastboot?

Download doomkernel

Install setcpu

Is this correct or is there a newer easier way.of.doing this.

Can I go and get all the latest se updates from their site first?

Will this wipe anything on my phone currently. Will I still have timescape etc.

What is fastboot?

I have 2.3.2 stock atm.

If.someone can give me an idiots guide to doing this.it would be.much appreciated.

Cheers

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes

everything like settings, and apps. You will still have stock apps like Timescape. Fastboot is what you use to unlock the bootloader.

Hello, this is my first post to XDA. I've read for a long time but never posted.

Ok, so I have a U.S galaxy tab 10.1 (From best buy- locked bootloader) Gt-P7510. My problem is, I have rooted my tab and installed clockwork I flashed a Oc Non-Touchwiz rom, then tried to do the ota update...it failed at 13%...Fine. But now when i try to install roms with clockwork i get "asert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader") == "P7100BUKB7" Intallation aborted." What went wrong? and if i try to odin back to stock with the correct P7510 image will it brick? im very scared :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
Did you make a nandroid backup wenn you had CWM installed and the Tab was working fine? If yes, just restore the backup from the recovery.

If not, flash the original rom with Odin, it will restore the bootloaders.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rileyrealz:
Thanks so much, I was worried that if I flashed in Odin the mismatched bootloaders would cause it to brick. And I might have made the back-up but I'm not sure, so other than human error, if I have all the right files there should be no worry?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHacker:
You should always rememver to make a nandroid before flashing anything to any of your devices bro. Odin will save your tab when needed. Just make sure to put the files in the rights spots and you'll be good to go bro.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rileyrealz:
Again,thanks I did make the back-up :).....BUT when I go to restore it i get Md5 mismatch! then the restore aborts...i think that failed update was more damaging than i thought
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
As I stated #2...flash THE ORIGINAL ROM in Odin. You will be ok then

ICS is supposed to be a type of "universal" update that brings all devices under one platform to unify android instead of being fragmented the way it is. I was doubtful that the sgs4g would get it but after reading up on it it does appear hopeful that devices like ours will get the update as well.

Officially? I'm almost certain that's a no. Took them 6 months to give us GB and this phone is about to hit it's end of life cycle.

But unofficially, most certainly. Kmobs and Zinx have this phone, the two prominent devs in the CM team. So I'm highly confident that through them, we'll be amongst the first batch of phones to get ICS via CM8.

Just my thought.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
Tmobile, from what I remember is part of the Android alliance. They promise upgrades, when a new Android OS comes out, it'll only end when the phone is 18 months old. I doing we'll see it right away, but i'm pretty sure we will officially see it at some point.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Not sure about that because to me, T-Mobile has the worst track record of phones getting updates.

The myTouch Slide 3G was promised Froyo last summer but didn't get it till earlier this year. And you can pretty much throw GB out of the equation for that phone.

The Vibrant has yet to even have a GB leak while the Vibrant 4G gets GB leaks every month or so. Which is sad.

The G2 was supposed to get GB very early but are now just getting it. And its life cycle already ended a month or two ago so that getting ICS is doubtful.

And that's just to name a few.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
I'm not gonna lie, but you are correct about all of that. I'm willing to give them another shot, them ima go to sprint. I do like t-mo,I had a good plan with them, they made me change plans, when I added a new line, also I just got throttled. If they can update this phone to ICS, I'll stay if not, i'm gone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I hear ya, I love TMO as well and I would love to be wrong to be honest. But looking back at how the Evo, and even the freakin year and a half old Droid INC got GB it made me think how terrible TMO is compared to the other carriers.

I would probably switch to Sprint as well if anything, I just wish their 3G was good.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
You would think the company that first introduced Android to the world, would set an example for everyone else on how to update your Android's in a timely manner. Instead they are usually the last ones to do so or they'll release a new version of the phone that is updated, an scrap the older ones. The only reason why i'm still with then is,i have good connection at home an in my area, an I don't want to spend the extra money for a etf.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flir31207:
From what I was told (by a German TMO sales rep), they have a fairly long internal QA process to make sure that a new ROM works (together with any of their own additions). So it usually takes them more than six months after a new ROM has been released, before it is officially available from them. This is not only true for Android, but is also valid for Blackberry and WP7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etrick:
FWIW... We switched to sprint. Hated sprint cdma. And t mobile is hardly the worst track record, all the carriers have been about the same. I think verizon and the droid line up is your"worst"...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
I can understand a 6month time frame to get everything working. I had the mytouch 3g slide, an that took a year an a month(not sure, maybe 2) to get upgraded to 2.2, they didn't even do an ota. It was either do it yourself via HTC or go to a store an get it done. I think that's pretty bad though, it took them that long.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Yeah... I don't see why they need at least 6 months. I mean it took CM's team like a little over a month after GB's source was released to get it to multiple different phones. Plus CM implemented their CM Settings as well.

I'm not saying it's a wrong statement, just wondering how a group of mostly college kids can beat big companies to it. :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
Big companies = a lot of political bull****. They do what they can to make more money for themselves about 50% of the time.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimpytx93:
Because CM's team can relinquish all responsibility by simply saying "we do not take responsibility in the event that your handset becomes a brick" for tmobile, and all carriers in general it's a little more complicated than that and they have to ensure that these events don't happen because it will be THEIR fault. But i do agree alot of it is them being lazy and not wanting to spend the extra cash and time if it's not a popular product. I However have had pretty good experience with T-mobile and was surprised that they updated the mytouch 3g (of course i had long since flashed a froyo rom by then) with 2.2, as that phone seemed to be at the end of its rode. When picking a phone I would deter from the heavily skinned ones the more crap and bloatware it has on top of it the less likely it is to be updated from general experience. As was the case with the slide. Those kinds of products are targeted more at the regular consumer and as such they play on their naivety in providing updates.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdup:
