[Atrix 4G General] malickie:
Truthfully Benchmarks mean Jack **** considering if you have ever run a Benchmark more than once in a row you will notice how the results go up the more times you run it and there isn't an app out there that can fully utilize the hardware in the phones as is. Also I was thinking about the SGSII until I looked at the time frame that Nvidia has set out for their chipsets for phones. I mean hell they are shooting for 6 core chips around the middle of 2012 if I recall correctly, so what would the point be in getting a "Slightly" better phone than keeping the Atrix. Also there is Nothing at all "Ground Breaking" about the SGSII with everything else that is due to come out. Also for those that think this has no Dev support how about you go hop on over to the LG Thrill 4G section.
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
The ATRIX is perfect in size and screen size. Its funny how 4.5" is the "new" 4"....just last year 4.3" was too big lol
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:
Call me ignorant...but everyone planning on getting the nexus...are you planning on buying one unlocked? Because history says it won't launch on AT&T. So the SGSII for $300+ cheaper seems good
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Well...since I just got my Atrix 2 weeks ago...I don't think I am going to jump back to waiting on Samsung to deliver on more empty promises..I bought my Captivate because of wanting to get HDMI out on it...and was given assurances I would be able to buy the correct cable to do this...yea...right...As much as I loved my cappy after rooting it and adding in all of the custom roms and tweaks...the main issues is piss poor support from Samsung..a busted GPS..and having to depend on the developers to fix what they didn't..That isn't in itself a bad thing...but I would much rather have a phone that works as good as my Atrix out of the box than any of Samsungs POS phones...

Anyone looking to buy the new galaxy...better make darn sure you have that HDMI cable in your hand

before

you leave the store...otherwise..your paying for a feature you will never see work..and all should wait till they find out if they still have the gps issues with them..IMHO

nokia 1100 ftw.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Razr V3 FTW ! ;)
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
The razr was a joke of a phone. Moreso because the legacy of the thin is in. I borrowed one when i had a n75 and it was so useless. The n75 was so cool once debranded. Part of that cool factor came from atnt not recognizing it as a smart phone and it was more capable than some of the so called smartphones of the time. But nokia 1100 still ftw. Monochrome biatch.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Been reported that it will release on Verizon first as one name, like the Droid Prime (they get it first for passing up on SGII). Then a short time later (weeks??), it will be released on all other carriers as Nexus device.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Oops... double post.
[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
I've wanted a SGII ever since I first handled one at the CTIA? show in Orlando, Samsung had this enormous table with probably 20 or so SGII for folks to look at. There was a line! I had to wait quite a while in the queue.

Nexus Prime sounds good but as someone said Verizon first.......then others...but when?

Last two Google Phones were seriously delayed going to other carriers for no other reason than they apparently didn't care!

You know Google had the money to make the offer attractive to ANY carrier but simply chose not to.

That's my reasoning anyway, an SGII in the hand is worth two Primes in the bush! :O

Got my Atrix when it first came out, I love it but if it only had the larger screen!

Here's the source, finally a word from Microsoft:

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2011/09/21/where-s-mango-an-update-on-timing.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
question....what abt those of us running RTM?

should we restore to nodo?

and do we get the firmware updates too if there is no need to restore back to nodo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
If you are running the Beta it will definitly be impossible to upgrade from the Beta to the final, carrier and OEM approved version of Mango.

Most likely this will be the case for the leaked RTM as well but you never know. If you have to roll back to NoDo you will lose every Text and save games etc. created after you left NoDo, so downgrading to NoDo now will at least allow you to keep those after downgrading to NoDo.

However, if it turns out that you can upgrade from the leaked RTM to the final thing, then you won't lose anything and you might wanna take the risk and wait for the rollout to begin.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Extreme boy:
Awesome news :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] furfree:
Just saw the post on twitter, and I must say that I'm pretty exited!

I'm actually gonna wipe my phone before the update. Some may wonder why, and it's simple: My region thingy won't work in Norway before Mango, HAH!

The wait is almost over y'all!
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJRedLine:
Mango in 1 or 2 weeks and battlefield 3 beta next week. Things are looking good. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Yeah and an iPhone 5 announcement in about 2 weeks. Great timing MS, the apple rumors and excitement are just starting to draw attention from everything else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Well look at this. THIS is exactly what they should be doing (albeit weeks ago, but still). Fantastic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Weeks ago the plan was still to release on September 15th (if you can trust the leaked stuff).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Apples fanfare will make mango a near silent memory... poor timing microsoft, very poor indeed.

Also, verizon is lighting up quite a few around the same time... maybe the LTE iphone is possible after all .?
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
i updated to mango a little over 24 hours ago, so damage is little tbh

and

this was in the comments section, so we may have hope

:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Well than I would downgrade to NoDo using the backup if you can live without Mango for another week or two.

Yeah I read that as well but the instructions might just be "downgrade to NoDo using your backup" etc. Time will tell and fortunately it's not that far away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
The only reason they made the announcement is because we now know when Apple will reveal the next iPhone which basically means no living sould will give a damn about Mango. Way to go Microsoft, good luck with that!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I'll believe when I see it. Until then, it's all rumor and speculation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nathantw:
There should have been a disclaimer that "unless you're on the AT&T network, then you'll need to wait until December or January since Mango is complex and needs to be tested before release."
[Windows Phone 7 General] Merkie:
Can anyone tell me why carriers have anything to do with updates at all? Carriers simply provide the infrastructure for a phone to work. What have they got to do with anything? It's something I have never understood. My ISP isn't testing my Windows 7 updates before I install them, why would they do so on my phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
Probably because the phone has a radio in it and it's different from carrier to carrier..
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
It has to do with service compatibility. They make sure the phones perform properly with the various services the carriers provide. Plus, on top of that, they make sure the phone that bares their logo and name performs to their specific standards. Any malfunctioning phone can potentially give the carrier a bad rep.

I know from experience that a phone sold outright...unlocked and from the handset maker...can be buggy as hell. Whereas the exact same phone under the carriers moniker is a sweet and well functioning phone. This doesn't apply to Apple, though. Apple is in full control of any and all updates for the iPhone. But I bet the carriers who carry iPhones are allowed testing before updates are issued.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vicious2500:
I'm glad this is more concrete than the fall. Lets see if ATT keeps to their words and updates my damn phone in a week or two.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jayr04:
Not even fall yet and an official announcement. Good job.

Hello XDA Experts.

I would like to update my HTC wildfire to 2.3 or latest. Can you please guide me step by step.

I completely new to android and its development. Step-by-step instruction can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
My job requires me to use a whole arsenal of native Linux penetration tools. I carry a laptop running backtrack Linux, has all the tools I need, and is ready to go right out of the box.

I thought I would bring over these tools to my phone, and maybe save me some time.

The end result being an update.zip or rom security pros aswell as you can flash to thier phone. And have these utilities at there fingertips to check network vulnerabilities without downloading a linux distro and tracking down libraries dependencies , etc.

I just started working on this today. So far I have netcat and some other basic tools working. My main goal is to port the more advanced tools such as nmap, ettercap, metasploit and the aircrack-ng suite. Im aware some of these utilities wont be able to be ported. We won't know till we try .

Im looking for people to help get this off the ground and see how far we can take it.

What do you guys think?

Shot me a pm if you want to join in .

I am also going to be releasing some kernel tweaks for sense in near furture.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vwftw:
Mobile Penetration Suite sounds dirty!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
haha yeah it does
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
Im more then open for a name change, ideas?

All jokes aside wouldnt it be nice to run a script on your phone that checks your wireless network encryption, and computers connected on your network for exploits and security holes from your phone?

I will be adding automated scripts to complete these task for the users that have none to little Vulnerability Assessment skills.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enomele:
Sounds like a hell of an idea. I'm just starting out on my path to a networking degree myself but I have a few friends who would be interested to hear about this. Except most of them haven't rooted they're phones yet. Going to subscribe to this thread for sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kyuubi08:
this would be something i would be interested in, especially seeing as im working on finishing up going to school for networking
[Droid Incredible Android Development] romsRfun:
Yes please. Would love to have for at home and work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Tobias39:
I totally support this project.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
If you get this totally working please contact me...I'd like to try and bring this to the Bionic once you get a lot of stuff ported...I don't have a DInc at the moment to test this anymore...that's why I would rather wait till more is done...AWESOME idea though. Can't wait to see this thing running.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zewelor:
There is something like this with gui already: http://www.zimperium.com/Android_Network_Toolkit.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coolbry95:
I would like to see you do something like that. It would help a lot of people in the Android world out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
I miss two things about my G1...dedicated number row and my LED that could flash multiple colors and would continue to blink until I actually acknowledged the notifiaction instead of discontinuing after 2 minutes. I don't really find that helpful at all for me.

I did find a decent enough solution to the latter with Light Flow.

To use the Light Flow App successfully on this phone I had to to do the following:

1. Be rooted of course

2. Run Light Flow in Compatibility mode.

3. Enable the mixer for all notifations that I want to be notified for. I cannot actually mix the Amber and Green to produce any more colors but with the mixer feature turned on, I am able to select one of two colors for Notification and then select whether I want the LED to Blink or be Solid for a notification.....

For example: with mixer enabled, I have SMS flashing green but I have emails coming in as solid green. I have have low battery blinking Amber but I have solid Amber for a missed call.

3. Disable all the notifations you do not want enabled. For example it comes with notifation for loss of signal enabled by default and if signal is dropped for a second it was continuting to blink until I went into notification.

Couple other items of note:

1. If fastboot is unchecked the Light Flow App will aquire root access on it's own after a reboot. (the led will blink until Light Flow aquires root acess) However, if I have fastboot checked and I reboot it seems like sometimes Light Flow won't aquire root access until I open the app once which will initiate it to aquire root.

I should probably add that my notifacation LED now blinks or stays solid until I acknowledge the notification which is a decent enough compromise for me although I would love being able to have more colors like on my G1.

I'll edit this I find out any more but I've been using it for a bit and it's working out ok for me so far.

Thank you so much
[Motorola Droid Bionic] EDNYLaw:
I apologize if this had been addressed elsewhere but through some diligent searching I couldn't find the answer. Is there a fix for the market not showing apps and movies after changing the LCD density or am I stuck with going back to 240 (I'm at 220 now) every so often to check for updates and download the occasional app? Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mattdb:
One other fix is to uninstall the update to the market app and then install the app you want, but keep in mind, the market will always update itself back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mataco:
If you freeze the Market Updater it won't update till you reboot the phone, still annoying tho, I like my lower density :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lordloki77:
i have an idea how to solve this, but I need help.

does anyone know enough about AOSP or CM7 to know how to find where in the code build.prop is called? or, really, more specifically, where is ro.sf.lcd_density or qemu.sf.lcd_density called? it's possible (and probably likely) that the entire thing is loaded at once, but if it isn't, it would make it easier.

the idea is pretty simple. have two copies on hand of build.prop (one in the standard location for the market to decide what your lcd density is), and another to be called to actually change your density.

i'd estimate that there's roughly an 80% chance it will solve the problem, but depending on how build.prop or the strings within are called it might be a huge headache. also, this fix would flummox any of the apps (like android overclock, etc.) which presently allow you to modify your build.prop.

I started a new thread because this isn't Bionic specific. it is presently located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288150
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigeddthemonk:
Wait, so there's apps that don't show up on market? which ones? Also ,you can get a hacked version of the old market, they can't update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
LCD Density seems to break too many things with only bandaid fixes for them. It doesn't increase resolution at all, just makes things smaller. Doesn't really make it worth it in my eyes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mattdb:
I really like the smaller text. Not sure which apps don't show up but they do.....

I just uninstalled the update and used Titanium Back up to freeze market updater...
[Motorola Photon 4G] obie992:
after the latest update which is 45.2.7MB855.Sprint.en.US was shown in system updates, i installed the update but after updated my wifi wont turn on, it says error everytime I try to turn it on.

Note : Im using Photon outside US running GSM, I dont this this will make any difference right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Actually it is the problem haha. When the phone turns on, it searches for a sprint network even if u set it to gsm only. And for some reason if it doesn't find a sprint network, it freezes up the 4G and wifi radios. Only thing that worked once in a while was put it on airplane mode, reboot. Wifi works then. Have somehow got it working alongside a gsm network a couple of times by trying to contact sprint servers while taking it off airplane mode but after 20mins, phone overheats and restarts. Not the most ideal situation. So no solution yet. Hopefully motorola/sprint fix it soon
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk and you will no longer have this problem...

Oh, and this will also resolve the Activation screen after each reboot problem...
[Motorola Photon 4G] obie992:
Will you let me know how do i freeze this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] obie992:
I don't think mine searches for sprint network because I had mine activated from sprint, and phone was working just fine before the update the wifi error came right after I updated, I think its the updatethat have caused it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
If I'm not mistaken, the update resets the activation. I know I read a thread somewhere that said this. I cannot be sure because mine's not activated.

Anyway, to freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk, you'll have to download Titanium Backup. You also need to be rooted...

If you're not rooted, instructions can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217416
[Motorola Photon 4G] obie992:
Ohh means if are rooted you don't have to worry about this, you can come out if this problem easily right?

[Motorola Photon 4G] Zandok:
Hi, posting here to not create a new thread about this.

I have a Mopho and i am using it outside US, it doesnt give me much trouble after the initial loading screen "looking for network" and stuff from sprint.

I did the freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk with titanium backup and it did work to eliminate the searching screen, however, the phone now never asks for my pin code, that means i cant connect to anything, i can easly turn back on the SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk but that makes the searching screen start up.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Phone is brand new, stock everything just rooted.

Thanks.

Hi, i got an Arc with 2.3.3 rooted Singapore Generic version, i wanted to update to the latest 2.3.4, but Singapore Generic version haven't release yet, so i wanted to ask if i flash with Generic version, can i flash the Global Generic rooted img? Because the Global Generic version link i found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269937 doesn't work for me, i mean i can't open the link

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I am considering using a custom ROM on the transformer, but is it worth it, I am mainly after performance increases. I see on a few that there are higher benchmark results, but does this actually translate into a real world speed increase?

I remember some custom ROMs for the original i9000 Galaxy S doubled the benchmark performance, but that was more down to "cheating" the benchmark than anything else, although it certainly was noticeable at times.

One of the slight criticisms I have of the TF101 is a slight amount of lag / lack of responsiveness occasionally - not a deal breaker, but if it can be improved then why not? Obviously not at the cost of stability though.

I think the SGS2 has spoiled me a bit here!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgica81:
apparently there is a big increase (mostly from overclocking). i had the standard firmware for 3 days only, so I can't really tell, but one of my co-workers has a locked B70 and was wow-ed by my TF, the smoothness and speed of it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Yes, I'm waiting too, to root it and put a cutom ROM on. I read, heard and saw the performance difference. Mainly from the overclock, but also thanks to kernel tweaks and stuff. So If you can root, do it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I've never been that keen on the idea of overclocking, as I prefer to have a bit of headroom, but I guess if it is safe and makes a big difference, then I would give it a shot. What would be a good middle ground for stability / speed ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
1.4 IMO is very stable and doesn't increase heat or use more battery but the real world performance is noticable. I have never run a benchmark so I can't give you any numbers. Just my normal use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Cheers for the reply. :)

Is there any one ROM that stands out as being the best performing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
Contrary to what people think they all perform about the same. There is no source so everyone is building of the same stock rom. If you want the same look then go with Revolution. If you want a little tweaked then go with Prime (What I'm on). If you want the tweaks and a nice tools package then go with Revolver (What I was just running). All 3 devs are really responsive to problems

If you start from a clean base and don't restore any system data from other builds then they will all be fast. The real speed difference is in the kernel and those can be flashed seperately from the rom. Clemsyn is really putting out kernels this week. Some good. Some not so good. Go with whats right for you.

EDIT: I have actually installed all 3 roms in the last week and run them at stock and at 1.4 Ghz. They all performed exactly the same for me. They were all equally stable. I don't use benchmarks because they can be fudged.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casanovafrankenstein:
I've used all three too. I notice huge improvements with webpage rendering. It's almost as fast as my laptop, where as before I avoided using the browser if possible. The ability to hide the status bar is a really nice addition to the latest version of revolver.

Edit: autorotate is also alot faster.
