To those that say its a piece of **** either your referring to phone hardware or market selection.. or you've never really used it.... At least a couple weeks...

The gesture area can be the buttons below... If you notice they are an extecion of the touch screen.. just like the pre... To test it scroll something and drag you finger over the buttons...
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] ceyo14:
Also touchpad is slow because all of the logging... Somewhat how sense slows down a phone especially if you compare to aosp...

If you disable logging webOS is much quicker...

I LOVED my pre... Only thing was the 3.2inch screen that really got tired of... I had it at 1.2ghz and ran flash and the best multitasking and great notifications.... Like they say don't judge a book by its cover....

My cousin has the epic 4g touch and gets frustrated how complicated things are over webOS..
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] I Am Marino:
There's a difference between stating an opinion and just being adding no useful insight.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] vszulc:
I actually had the Touchpad for a couple of weeks, DISABLED the logging, and guess what... It was still a slow POS, with slower browsing than on my old HTC Desire.

And when an OS is THIS slow, despite having a top of the line dualcore CPU at its disposal, guess what: That's a pretty poor, immature and unpolished OS.

MAYBE webOS would have been better if they spent another year polishing it. Then again, look at the progress Google made with Android since webOS first came out. Something would indicate that it's a deeper issue than just lack of polish.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] :
How is it illegal? The HTC HD2 is not a certified WP7-phone, yet WP7 is ported to it.

That HTC Win7-tablet is not certified for Win8, yet Win8 is ported to it.

The Motorola Xoom is far from being a Win8-tablet, but still there is interest in an initial port and no dev mentioned the word "illegal".

I can go on with that list if you want.

So it's by no means illegal to port webOS.

This is the perfect example of how incredibly crappy webos is. It's not an opinion, it's a fact.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] :
How can it be a fact if I and many others don't agree with you? o_o
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pflatlyne:
yea,webOS is not THAT bad. But,yea,considering how bad it is on my touchpad'in going to go with cm7 as soon as its out. Essentially,webOS on my touchpad reminds me of buggy hacked roms on a phone. It works ,it even hs some really nice features , but so many things are buggy or broken,I just want to give up and go back to the stock rom,except it IS the stock rom. Even if cm7 is buggy when it comes out,how bad could it be?

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pablo_max:
I have to agree with several others in this post.

I am "lucky" enough to have one of the few white 64G TP's in Europe due to certain circumstances which well... I have one and that is enough ;)

I do really like the look of webOS. I like the cards and many other little things about it, BUT, my god it is slow. I have the 1.5GHz dual core as well! I did all the little tricks and so on, but my goodness.

There are little things, like using the calculator. it takes less time to just use pen a paper since it constantly misses the inputs. I can see the key press, but sometimes i need to enter in the decimal point 3 times before it takes it.

What makes me mad though is not the slowness, not the little bugs like the calculator. I can live with those thinking about what I paid. It's things like not being able to turn off WiFi Captive portal. That just pisses me off. I travel and bring this thing with me hit a free wifi spot and cannot use it because captive portal is enabled and NOT implemented properly. So..no internet. What other use does this device have? It's entire reason for being is to connect to the web and HP was too lazy to see that it works.

So..Look and feel. Great! Usability, not so great. Apps? Total washout. I was going to wait until android 3.x code, but not after this last weekend of travel where my old desire had no issues and my TP was a heavy paper weight.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] vszulc:
Exactly... "It's not THAT bad"... Well it's plenty bad. You want me to quantify how bad it is? Is it as bad as cancer? Sure not... But both iOS, Android and WP7 are significantly more stable, faster and better.

There is one, just one area where I actually would recommend the Touchpad over at least a couple Android tablets... GAMES! Surprisingly enough...

There are quite a few high quality games out for the Touchpad. Even more than are available for the 7inch Android tablets because of compatibility problems.

So if you have a kid, you have a cheap 100 dollar gaming device right there. Can't recommend it for much else though, since websurfing, ebook reading etc. are so slow and buggy on it.

I could list over 30 sites I found in google describing how terrible this supposed "o/s" is. So, once again I state what is FACT and NOT OPINION. Webos is complete garbage.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] julakali:
When i started using my TouchPad, i started to love WebOS.

The multitasking implementation (well, the "cards") is awesome.

On Android, every Application is put to sleep when inactive, you can't live-switch between them. I guess on iOS its the same.

I never had a single crash in WebOS apps. Sure, they may hang or lag a little bit, but on Android, i had plenty of those "Force Close" Messages popping up.

Even on an brand new (non modded) eeePad Transformer...

With WebOS, my university VPN works just fine, while on Android, i can't configure a proxy. Or when i can (Honeycomb), its not used by every application.

If WebOS was a little bit faster, for example when opening applications, which is indeed VERY slow, or when switching between browser windows, it would be the BEST TABLET OS on the market in my oppinion.

And i don't understand why anyone would trade it in for Android 2.2, which is in no way fun to use on a tablet...
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] uberamd:
You simply CANNOT say that something is "significantly... better" and try to pass that off as fact. The quality or usability of a product boils down to pure opinion of the user. I think the all-text based terminal web browser Lynx is not "better" than Google Chrome, but that doesn't mean there aren't people out there who think Lynx is better than Chrome. I think Chrome is better than firefox, but thats an OPINION as there are those who think the opposite is true about Firefox and Chrome.

Also, I have had 0 stability issues with my TouchPad. But my Xoom... well that was loaded with bugs. So maybe you don't really know what you're talking about...

You, sir, are an idiot. Fact is defined as A thing that is indisputably the case. Indisputably means: not open to question. WebOS is not complete garbage because it IS OPEN TO QUESTION, people disagree that it is garbage because there are many people out there (such as myself) who see the merits of the OS. Thus, it is NOT a fact that it is garbage.

I'm a very technical person, I do a lot of programming and development so I am very experienced with nearly every popular mobile operating system out there. WebOS is by no means bad, its a solid OS with a great multitasking interface and proper design, it just never received the proper hardware backing by Palm/HP. There is nothing garbage about the OS itself.

Do you know what IS garbage, IMO? Those crappy Android tablets that are running Gingerbread. Why? Gingerbread was designed for phones, so apps like Gmail are just gigantically stretched versions of the mobile apps, with NO tablet optimizations. That is garbage, IMO.

You have yet to make one compelling argument for why webOS is garbage, yet alone why it is a fact. Maybe its because I'm a college educated adult, but your lack of understanding of the difference between a fact and an opinion is very disturbing.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] nitens:
Wow this thread has jumped the shark. OP simply asked if it was possible to port webos onto other hardware, particularly the evo.

So, anyone think this can be done?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] mk3:
I wish it was available. As a WinMo guy who accidentally fell into the WebOS world I really struggle with Android. To me it just reminds me how much simpler things can be. Sure WebOS had it's issue but heck did Android v1.0 run well? I bet not, afterall that's why Goolge had been busy making investments in the development. I just wish they'd steal some of the good parts from WebOS and roll into Android.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] bartio1975:
You have no idea what you are talking about. I love Android, but would move to TouchPad full time if I can have my apps from Android in WebOS. I think the WebOS has some cool concept with the Card layout. And flick up to close. Now if it had app support, it would have been successful with a lower price point for sure.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] dajogejr:
The only thing that should be pulled is your ability to pro-create.

Do us a favor...don't.

Or wait till you move from your parents basement and actually grow a set.

WebOS is a fine OS. The apps are lacking...no doubt. Browser kinda sucks.

It's true multitasking nature is superior to IOS and Android.

The cards are excellent.

Does it need tweaking out of the box? Absolutely....but who on here doesn't tweak their Android device and leave it factory stock <insert sound of crickets chirping>

Grow up troll. Everyone is allowed an opinion...don't spout off like yours is some kind of be all end all fact.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] joeavery2:
Opinions

YES! This thread ain't closed yet..

First this gave me a good laugh, It has to be the Dumbest thread on XDA. In fact if there was just a way to get all the trolls and.... well.... anyone on XDA with nothing but some time on their hand, They should be here!

Ok so after a few days with WebOS I must say it is very task oriented. I like the card's and deck views. I can say that also that once a few web pages open and apps it crawled to a slow.

So I am +1 for a WebOS type launcher and -1 for WebOS. Doesn't matter, I bought the Touchpad to put android on it, Just like I bought my Nook and my Atrix to put Android on them. I got android on 6 or 7 devices in my house and 3PC's with windows/linux.

Here is my opinion, These manufactures and Carriers need to get off their high horses or get de-throned. I want Pure AOSP with a SenseUI or TouchWiz Launcher. Basically Google should force it so that the Manufactures and carriers can only add .APKs to the stock OS. Whats that.... they don't have the Pull? Well Pull the OS and see what they do. Android has made a lot of people and companies, a lot of money. What is more is it spurred a OS race, cause lets face it, WebOS and WinMo were no where close to being able to do it.

As I think the first or second post said.. this is all in the wrong section.. maybe we need a "opinion" section.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

They did, It's called Ice Cream Sandwich. They took WebOS's lead engineer and put him to work on the flow of Honeycomb.

Also a few parts took from WinMo7. But if you know Android you'll know:

80-90% of ICS was already there in GingerBread. They changed the look but the Nexus release showed us more what we could do then what was new, For example:

Who knew they could voice search "what time is it in Paris"? Or that in GTalk a swipe left or right would take you to another thread without having to go back to the list of threads?

As a last point my response there^ still stands. We could make a launcher that gives the same home screen feel. That, in my opinion, is the best part of WebOS. It is task oriented.

Yes i know it is a great phone!

i switched back to my old backflip until someone has mercy and makes a root and rom for this fine phone!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eddydy:
I love this phone, believe me I'm a phone freak, I recently sold my HTC Sensation and went back to my iPhone 4 because it was too big , I'm not a big fan of huge screens, up until a week ago when T-Mobile sent my daughter this Exhibit replacing her faulty Sidekick, I gave her my iPhone 4 and took the Exhibit to try it, I admit this phone made me forget the iPhone and I'm enjoying 4G.

I can't wait till someone roots it.

BTW, the battery life is way better than the Sensation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nocturnalmike:
well since no other devs seem to want to take mercy on it, Im taking what i know from the Nexus One roms i use to make and galaxy S and going to give this a shot to root it. I ran to Tmobile and added a line to my account so now ill have 2 exhibit's to work with (just incase one bricks :D ) lol. Hopefully i can get it rooted. If not maybe someone more experienced can help or take over and get it done faster.. waiting sucks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] beeboy1985:
I dont have any expirence with the code to make a root or i would have been working on it already. However if it is of any help I have tired the Gignerbreak app and know that doens not work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nocturnalmike:
z4root, Super one click, gingerbreak and all the other root programs wont work with this phone. Samsung changed something to make it fairly unrootable, But like the Evo4g with sprint that was hard to root this one will be rooted also. Just will take time to really dive into the codes and see what the exploit will be.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doctor Audio:
I am still wondering why no-one has rooted this one out.

Maybe because it come with a lot of things that most root for.

Wi-Fi calling and tethering.

The phone does need more ram so getting rid of the bloatware would make this phone more of a gem.

It is more stable than my Mytouch 3G for sure.

We still don't have a forum here!

At least I have not found it!

The Doctor!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nocturnalmike:
Yeah. Im shocked its still not rooted either. Ive poured over the system dump looking for a way to make it hold a root and the best i can do is get it to boot up rooted then it will freeze up then i have to Odin it back to stock.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sergmen254:
@Nocturnal Mike, well giving those instructions on how thats done will help out also because ive failed to even be able to put mine into download mode with the 3 button method
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nocturnalmike:
you can use adb to force download mode. the 3 button is hit or miss
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] clay21:
I to wait patiently for a root method for this phone.Here's how you get into download mode.

1.With phone turned off...

2.Hold down the volume + - button

3.Connect usb cable to phone then computer and you should enter download mode.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] klauspabst:
i am a old iphone user,switched to android with the exhibit!

i know for shure if it was from apple the phone would be rooted (jailbroken)

maybe the devs on iphones are just better or care more for theyr users!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nocturnalmike:
or maybe its cause they have ONE phone. ONE version of the firmware and its a lot easier to crack ONE version. unlike android where you have tons of phones. tons of different versions and its a lot harder to get a crack.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] psone:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
I have noticed for iPhones that if you have a pair of apple earbuds you can use that to hear the caller and move the phone to your mouth as a microphone.

I was wondering if something like that can be done with the SGS4G. I want to be able to use any pair of headphones to listen to the caller, and use the phones mic.

I have seen headsets on ebay/dealextreme, but they are just fixed earbuds and I am not too confident that they have good sound quality. I have had previous phones where you plug your own headphones into a headset jack which then goes to the phone, but I haven't seen anything like that for the SGS4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
The headphones that came with the phone have the mic
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Yeah you can use any pair of headphones(without a Mic) and the phone will automatically use the internal microphone. I do that all the time with the auxiliary input in the car or with my phiaton ms400 headphones
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Try Skullcandy Ink'd Mic'd. Not the best looking, but it's great for <$20. Not to mention you get warranty for it once you register it. I'm getting them soon as a backup for my OEM Samsung headset.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
What's the matter? You don't like the stock ones that does the same exact thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
I prefer to use my own pair since:

1) I get ear infections with in-ear earphones. So I must use clip/over-the-ear headphones.

2) My headphones have active noise-cancellation and I would prefer to use those with my phone especially on loud bus rides.

3) I bought my phone used, so all I got as accessories were 2x batteries and a charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Oh ok. Then yes any headphone that fits in your phones headphone jack should work and you can use the phones mic.

But if you wanted to have the mic on the wire you can try the Sennheiser PX 200-IIi. It has the outer headphones that you like.

Or you can go with ones without the mic like Beats by Dre or Skullcandy.

Hey guys

Hope you can help me out here, getting really annoyed :P

my optimus 2x lost all connection to the mobile network so thought it would be a good time to upgrade.

And so i did to this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264721

before i installed the rom i updated my BB to 1035.21_20110725

Installation went smoothly (after 2 hours of trying and i remembered that i had forgot to convert to ext3)

Everything seemed fantastic. Keyword here is SEEMED.

MY textmessages (sms) are ****ed, sometimes i get messages from ppl 3-4 hours AFTER they sent them, and ppl sometimes recieve 2-3-4 of the same message from me.

The phone part can sometimes lock up, the signal looks good but when i try to call it never gets a line out or something like it.

Then i tried to update my RIL just in case, updated it to 0725 (v20c europe leaked gingerbread) using LG Getril app, hoping that might help. Thought it did, but alas, NO!

So guys, i really need some help here, im completely lost, annoyed and close to throwing a fit over this piece of crap phone. Never buying LG again thats for sure.

Hope you guys can help me getting this to work.

This is more than likely a problem with your provider, not your phone.

To make absolute sure, you should smartflash back to a completely stock, stable version like 10D and see what happens to your SMSs then.

Nothing else can be done until you test it under stable conditions.
