There is a technological barrier though. At the most basic..and important level, is energy. Any physicist will tell you we needs it, and we don't have the means to produce enough of it! Not in a sustainable and 'green' way, anyway.

Read some Lovelock and you'll see what i mean. There's a reason why 'Gaia' is one of the most seminal and contoversial works on the subject!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gaia-New-L...0305/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1316814256&sr=8-5

A sustainable Nuclear Fusion reaction is the biggest hope we have right now. Keep your fingers crossed for the likes of the ITER project:

http://dlib.eastview.com/browse/doc/7886243

Remember that energy has to come from somewhere! The impact it has on the planet has to do with what we have the most of...and it's impact on the biosphere. A nuclear fusion reaction can be fed with Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, and found in plentiful supply on Earth in seawater!

Anything short of that is just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Unsustainable!

I am coming from a Blackberry background where each carrier gets its own stock OS

I noticed on Android devices that each region (ie: America, Europe, Asia) gets a stock firmware and that firmware can be used with any carrier in that region...is this correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Sadly the truth is far more complicated! The only 'Stock' releases are with the Nexus devices. (Nexus One, Nexus S and the upcoming Nexus Prime) Everything else is up for grabs! Every manufacturer takes the stock version (AOSP - Android Open Source Project) and adds what they want to it. Usually UI changes, apps etc. Then carriers get hold of it and change what they want!

Some devices are sold exclusively to one carrier or another, with slightly varying versions released for global sale. If you buy an unlocked, global device it should work on just about any carrier in any country though, providing the Radio is capable of working on the required frequencies.

Basically it's a bloody mess! :D

Im looking for the right parts for my broken glass HD2... Looking around Amazon leads me to a bunch of different looking pieces with reviews saying its not for the US model or it needs to be soldered and or snapped on... can anyone tell me how to check what kind of lcd and digitizer I need?

if it got T-Mobile near the ear peice its US Model u can check it also in hardware info

[HTC Sensation] jesse550:
aren't i supposed to install cwm manually?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Ummmm, u can after, the newer version...
[HTC Sensation] Divine flaw:
i followed the noob guide found in the dev section (its stickied) and it says to install cwm manually. reason is because revolutionary installs an older version of cwm which has problems charging the phone when the phone is turnned off which might be a problem if you let the battery die and cant charge it. just search for the latest version of cwm and install that
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Let it flash the old version then manually flash the new one. Makes no difference

[HTC Sensation] p1yke:
I had exactly the same secnario, I did it three times and it still showed the communication error but s-off showed up so i manually installed CWM, all was fine. Must say I shat my pants though when it said communication error, I thought I was about to brick it
[HTC Sensation] Divine flaw:
well i only mentioned to install it manually cause i think its kinda redundant to instal an old version of cwm than install a newer version of cwm right after. why not just skip that step entirely and manually instal cwm. its just my two cents. either way both of us are right

I'm a newbe to this stuff. Just what is auto-nooting or manual nooting???Does it install a full Android OS??
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
It roots the stock OS and gives you the ability to install apps from the market.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluepen61:
Autonooter is used with B&N 1.1 if I remember correct.

Manualnooter is used with B&N 1.2 or 1.3.

No. Your NookColor is installed with Android OS as modified by B&N. When rooting, several Android apps and Android Market are installed. Market makes available most Andriod apps. Rooting

retains

the B&N functions and apps.

Installing other operating systems such as CM7 which utilizes the Android OS is not rooting since the original B&N apps and functions are no longer retained and unusable.

I hope this helps.

Actually installing a custom rom is still rooting as they have root privileges built in. Rooting is not specific to the stock OS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimitrispgr:
Hello,

i want to buy this phone and I have second thoughts because I 've read complains about the GPS performance.

Also I ve heard that the phone is laggy...

Is there any fix to these problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulTrain88:
About gps, I have had no problems at all with gps. Lock within 10-20 sec. I think it is from piece to piece. About lags. Stock rom is a little bit laggy, but there is so many options to get rid of it. For example lagfix, flash different roms or custom roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
You did not say which stock rom is laggy, though.

Lag was already gone in 2.2.1 and SGS has 2.3.3 or so these days.

About GPS: it dramatically improved, I think it happened with Gingerbread. You get a quick fix and accuracy is not as bad as it used to be.

Still, from what I heard, the GPS is supposed to be more accurate with the SGS II.

If I would have to buy a new Samsung smartphone I'd heavily consider the SGS II, especially since the price difference isn't that high.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulTrain88:
Lag was already gone in stock rom without lagfix? I can compare with CM7 and in stock lag is still there, but not as much as in JPA (2.2)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenSGS:
GPS: is no issue at all,it does a good job but if needed you can have apps like faster fix for more accuracy and fast locking.

LAG: very difficult to define but it's an old story, with new firmwares no issue.

In my personal opinion, choice of buying a galaxy S also depends on how you want to use your phone, if you are little bit on tech side, you will love this phone.If you don't want to mess with tech jargon's at all, look for something else than Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiwipl:
Lagginess can be fixed by flashing different ROMs / kernels.

GPS is poor, so depending on your purposes. If you want to find your location on google maps, check the distance - then it is fine. But if you want to use for car navigation, then you should buy a good external GPS unit with bluetooth and pair it with Bluetooth GPS for instance. I used SGS for in car navigation for one week and it was a disaster sometimes and average at other times, so very inconsistent / unreliable.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrealwolf:
OP, IT IS laggy for sure. Stock roms are such a crap, they're barely usable. Cyanogen is better, but still, if you want an Android phone, better take Nexus S or some of the HTC ones.

HI Team,

As all of us know, Android out of the box (at least my HTC Desire Z which shipped with Froyo) does not support ad-hoc wifi connection out of the box. WE need to flash wpa|_supplicant to enable it. I have tried doing it but was not successful.

Currenly I am using MIUI v 1.9.16. This supports ad-hoc wifi out of the box without any hack. I really want to use HTC sense so my question is that does virtuous unity 2.37.0 support ad-hoc wifi connection on HTC desire Z?

Also, are there any other roms supporting this. I am tired of MIUI and want to switch to another rom...

HI,

SInce I did not get answers from anyone in the community, I just decided to flash them myself. Unfortunately, both Unity and Sense roms do not support the ad-hoc wifi connection.

As of now, only MIUI seems to be supporting this. Even CM 7.0.3 or CM 7.1 beta do not support ad-hoc wifi...I know almost every one in this community is expected to have a wifi connection at home, but some do rely on the usb dialers (a 3g usb stick) to get the internet connection!!!
