read the OP..

"Rom required: 3.06.1401.0 "
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] diavolo770:
Crap, I feel like a complete 'tard. I got so excited and was pressed for time I neglected to read the whole thing. Well, it was a learning experience none the less.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
It's all good, you should NEVER rush anything with root. You most likely skipped over the part that if it did work, there is no way to reverse it, AND since they now know you are rooted, warranties are voided, and they can probably know when you are stealing wireless tether.

Not too mention, we got root, awhile ago.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
And if its anything like the htc evo3d unlock its not really a true unlock. I know some of the evo guys that went the official route could not even flash kernels. Just my two cents but i would use revolutionary or xtc clip
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
yea it isn't a full nand lock like say the XTC clip, the sim is still locked.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Yes that's what I thought. You willingly void your warranty and you don't even get the full advantages. If I wasn't rooted and my phone came with 2.3.4 I would wait on an exploit or use a clip. But to each his own I guess
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] koutouyo:
unlock bootlooader what is it good for anyway?:confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
It's Offical below:

Someone has tested on his S710D(S-ON).

After unlock, he can flash any recovery, diy roms with root.

Radio can't be flash.

Ive only found penguin that will oc to 1.1 wassup with that where are all the kernels to support it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
kernel.org is down and has been down for about the last month. Cant repo sync with out it.

There are alternatives like codeaurora but its a bit more difficult to sync Android than a standard linux kernel.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

On an additional note, I am building a kernel right now attempting for 1.4 ghz...at least I hope. this is only the 5th or 6th time I've ever made one, and have never OCd one. So there is a lot of hit and miss here. It's failed to build already several times but hopefully I can release something for you all to play with. It will be the first time I have ever released anything Rom/Kernel I have built because I really don't have the time to support or keep up with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rruss:
Thanks for the hard work its a shame as great as this phone it gets no love
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
No need to rush kernel builds. Because they do require alot of testing and modifying in order to insure stability. And if you really want more kernel devs. Start a bounty to pay for phones. I know quite a few of kernel devs that wouldnt mind modding if they had the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
take your time, we appreciate everything you guys are doing for this community.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
Don't rush it,, all great things take time I'm sure the devs would rather test and wait and test some more than to just rush out a kernal with many issues, think about it you as a person would get mad that it was buggy, so just have patience and wait like the rest of us,,,or buy your favorite dev a photon I bet if you did that you would get the first of everything from that dev.... that's my 2 cents
[Motorola Photon 4G] Blue01F250:
Its been over 2 months since the latest post on any overclock issue. Has there been any progress at all? I would assume we are all still waiting on a Stable and completely working ROM.. is that true or ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tunawithcheeze:
I've seen this come up with other Android phones but I don't remember what the answer was.

One of the things I miss is having a nice set of headphones which can control volume, playback and answer the phone. Does the Epic 4G Touch have this functionality as well? Meaning, if I stuck a iPhone headphone into the Samsung, would I be able to do most, if not, all controls I had on the iPhone?

If this isn't the case, is there an alternate solution anyone can suggest (anything short of going back to an iPhone)?

Thanks!
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
Pretty self-explanatory, but what is the major difference? I've seen a theme that has been re-labeled ROM in the theme section, etc...

Change of colors (framework-res and services.jar) vs change in functionality?
[Motorola Triumph] Dan_Brutal:
Simple, rom is a rom, and a theme is a theme. I think that themed stock roms shouldn't be labeled rom, becasue your not doing anything except changing pngs, and colors. The themes should be packed into flashable zips with just the themed files, not the entire rom. Just my .2.

Samsung and Microsoft settle Android licensing dispute

why does it sounds like Microsoft is almost like begging for money here?

just because Android sales are waaaaaaay better than their windows phones

Samsung, htc, and Motorola have to pay back royalty fees to Microsoft for selling non Microsoft products?

what a load of crap

not much better than Apple playing a similar card with all those product bans

simply lame

they can't compete in tech innovation, so they'll use any means necessary to kill Android.... sad world we are in :(
[General Topics] cdesai:
What all has been happening these days!

Weird things!!!
[General Topics] Gusar321:
Not begging. Extorting. I mean, is it even about some specific patents? Because at least publicly, it totally looks like MS is doing this: "Nice phone you got there... would be a shame if something, you know, happened to it..."
[General Topics] AllGamer:
that too

basically it almost as if they (HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Viewsonic, Acer) are not paying Microsoft, they are not able to sell Android phones.... WTH is that?

Android is open source, Google is not charging for it, yet Microsoft is extorting the manufactures for using Android instead of Windows????

if they produce also Windows phone they only pay $10 per phone, if they don't produce any window phone, then it goes up to $15 per phone!

it's like WTF is going on?!?!?! :eek: :confused::eek:
[General Topics] krale:
You could also look at it the other way - actually the way Samsung, HTC, and the legal system in several different developed countries sees it:

"Google couldn't compete with innovation - so they go steal something from Apple, something from MS, and make Android... bRRRRRRRRiliant."
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
The whole reason they're paying is because they themselves could not innovate. Windows phone is undoubtedly the most innovative OS on the market right now. The majority of people just either haven't tried it beyond screwing around at an ATT store for 2 minutes or because you can't customize much. The "people-centric" OS though is without a doubt the most innovative stand-alone OS.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Another useful post from the ultimate android troll...hates android so much and yet can't stay out of any thread that mentions it!
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Not at all, just correcting his mistake. It's not a lack of innovation on Microsoft's part that's making oem's have to pay to use android. That's androids patent infringement. Therefore it's android's lack of innovation that's causing them to have to pay Microsoft. Then again, winmo 6.5 would've been just as good as android today had they had a decent app catalogue and more importantly an easier way to reach said apps.
[General Topics] krale:
Exactly.

Its amazing how people think there must be a global conspiracy or something against Android. Its illegal activities that are costing the OS dearly.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
Ok, if you're "just correcting" other people, then I will correct you.

You're talking as if those patents are about some great innovations. But that is complete BS. Those patents are about generic totally obvious things, like "method to update the address book". And I'm not kidding with that, "method to update the address book" is one of the patents in the Microsoft vs. Motorola dispute.

Yeah, updating the address book is serious, serious innovation and Google is totally being the big bad non-innovator by daring to create an OS where you can update the address book. I mean, how dare they!!
[General Topics] jags_the1:
Lol...

So if you cant innovate , u should pay royalties?

This way ford should have been more capital worthy then Exxon since they where first to build cars.

Even Einstein,built upon others idea and refined it.

God ppl need to be more broad minded.

Op just asked why is Microsoft seeking money from an OS which is not even related to them, and you throw random bull of your innovative crap
[General Topics] krale:
Actually yes. If I can't make a hamburger - I pay McD to do it. If I can't sow some jeans - I go and pay CK to do it. If I can't make an OS by myself - you guessed it - I pay someone else who did it.

Property is property. Period.
[General Topics] aFo3262:
Exactly. But now with Samsung and HTC paying royalties to MS based off Android, it would seem like this is the case going forward. That's pretty much every major OEM accounted for(except LG since Moto is now Google's). Having custom hardware and UI's did nothing to prevent the courts from agreeing to licensing fees. Android is not free in absolute terms anymore
[General Topics] Gusar321:
But even if not you personally, a lot of people *will* make hamburgers. And will McD go collecting royalties from them? Of course not, that'd be beyond ridiculous.

Exactly. Property is property. But then there's also this other thing called "intellectual property". I personally cringe at that, because it's a total misnomer, but oh well.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Krale, just click on his name and look at his previous posts before you get into a conversation that you know nothing about...lol. His posts are all the same. He sees a post about android and goes in and bashes it. Well, I am done with this thread seeing how you people have given him what he wanted...arguments and controversy.
[General Topics] vetvito:
Its legal extortion. Tell me why M$ isn't going after "GOOGLE "?

Its the same tactics they use to force OEMs to license Windows for PCs.

M$ sucks at innovation and sales especially in the consumer sector.
[General Topics] 1xinfusion:
I believe the reason they can't go after google is because they don't charge money for android. the manufacturers though, charge US through the sales of phones.

google gives android for free

samsung, htc, etc sells us android phones

Microsoft can say these manufacturers are taking my ideas and selling it and can't say the same thing to google

no, I see a thread where Microsoft is made to look like the bad guy for not letting themselves be walked all over and I defend them. It's not a matter of fanboyism or what OS I favor. It's just what's right.
[General Topics] borborpa:
There's a difference between protecting your own, and utter foolishness. The patents that have been granted to many of these companies are simply ridiculous. I have no issue with someone defending their ideas, but patenting a simple logical thing is what I can't agree with.

[General Topics] z33dev33l:
You see, in this day and age these patents are laughable, when the patents were initially created though they were something new and profound. No one had done it before and the idea wasn't common sense. They seem so to us now because we're accustomed to them, but should something lose it's patent simply because it's grown common enough to be routine?

[General Topics] Gusar321:
"Method to update the address book" is profound? So profound it's worthy of a patent? Yeah, no. And there are patents that are even more ridiculous than that.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
at the time in which it came out it was. It had never been done before, it was new, it made things much easier, and it was completely deserving of a patent. You're seeing it by today's standards where you can do it on pretty much anything. If you look back to when the original concept was put into fruition it was something much more amazing at that point. We may be spoiled by such trivial things now but this was not always the case.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
You're actually serious with this? Absolutely serious? You genuinely believe updating an address book is a profound innovation? Wow!

Every single developer assigned the task of 'the users need the ability to update the address book' will be able to come up with a solution. *Every single one*. Which makes this not an "innovation" worthy of a patent, it makes it a totally and completely obvious thing.

[General Topics] henrik.dk:
what a joke. The most innovative OS sinks because android copies windows phone?

The fact is that android comes before windows phone.

It is IOS which make M$ 's move to windows phone.

What android infringes could be just some patents already in windows mobile.

windows mobile simply died in front of IOS. But android wins the battle against

IOS. Clearly it is not M$ patent which plays a major role in this war.

If there are something truly that innovative inside windows phone, the world might be totally different.

For now, one thing I will do for sure is not to buy any M$ phone.
[General Topics] CallMeVentus:
Why can't Microsoft just stick to their Windows and Xbox ?

Why must they step into the already saturated phone market ?

Why can't Apple stop suing ?

Why must they force companies to fight back ?

[General Topics] henrik.dk:
Not really.

In such a case: you have a product and another one come with the copy and give it away for free.

It will be ridiculous if the law cannot punish that man just because your competitor doesn't charge. The evil china has been punished for many times

just because they sell their products at lower price than the cost.

Not to mention that Google actually makes money from android system.

The simple reason why M$ doesn't go after google, to me:

the legal battle will cost a lot as Google has to fight.

M$ might lose

Oracle has made the good example.
[General Topics] krale:
Again the same brain-washing propaganda. I don't know how you people are so susceptible to all of this.

IF the system is flawed - then we need to work to change the system. BUT that doesn't mean that until we do, people can just go ahead and steal and make money from it?

The legal system is CLEAR - patents protect the rights of companies and inviduals that came up with ideas. If it wasn't for this system, there would be absolutely ZERO innovation. So the flaws of the system have to be weighted in with the HUGE benefits to economic growth.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
The system exists since approx. 1998. There has been technical innovation, and lots of it, well before that. Yet again, you're wrong.

[General Topics] Gusar321:
Then enlighten us about software patents please, and show me the error of my ways. I'm referring here to a landmark ruling in 1998 from which on the patentability of software was established beyond doubt. There were software patents before, but it was only after that ruling that software patents exploded.

Now let's see if you have some actual knowledge or are again just full of big words and insults: Name the landmark case I'm referring to.
[General Topics] krale:
The patent regulations have seen NO MAJOR CHANGES FOR 60 YEARS. Rulings are just there to establish legal interpretations of the patents. It is exactly the same rules that have helped innovation MORE THAN EVER in the history of mankind in the last 6 decades.

Now, I know this won't help a troll - but just in case there are other genuine souls out there - here it is.
[General Topics] Gusar321:
As I guessed, you have no idea about that case in 1998 that changed things drastically for software patents.

For those who don't have the desire to remain willfully ignorant, the case is "State Street Bank & Trust v. Signature Financial Group". Read about it here: http://www.bitlaw.com/software-patent/history.html. To quote the the most important part:

Has anyone else noticed that Google has recinded their facebook syncing capabilities with the Photon 4G?? I had to do a data wipe on my phone and realized that even though I logged into my Facebook account, it will not let me join Facebook contacts with my Google contacts.

If I am mistaken that they have done this or if I am missing something (which I doubt) please let me know. Thank you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I don't know if they killed facebook syncing but it does take a long time sometimes. I just wiped my phone too and going through the rebuilding process...

Unfortunately, when I try to add my LinkedIn account, I get "An internal error has occurred, please try again". I've tried numerous times (with the correct login info) and still no luck. GRRH!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] brianbrifri:
Yea, I've gotten that error before too. It's on the part of LinkedIn. And have you been able to join facebook contacts yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I flashed the latest SBF update and the LinkedIn problem went away!!!

UPDATE: Although the LinkedIn connection problem went away, my FaceBook contacts are NOT syncing. Not sure what's going on here.

It's a sad turn of affairs when a person has to resort to doing crap like this to update their WP7 phone. I see no future for WP7 due to this. Think of all the unconnected people out there who don't even know about this trick who are forever on NoDo.

Well, ultimately this is about MS selling second gen. hardware with Mango already installed. MS likely didn't even want to update first gen. hardware but felt compelled by the community reaction of the featurelessness of first gen. phones.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/psa-force-windows-phone-7-5-mango-to-update-right-now/
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
The people who are "unconnected" will probably blissfully go on with their life until they get a notification pop-up on screen telling them to update to Mango. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevenmu:
This trick is just forcing it to update immediately rathar than waiting your turn. If you don't do this trick it will update over the next few days anyway. Non-issue tbh.

edit: Also, I'm pretty sure MS do want everyone up to Mango. I would think they are far more concerned with the over all WP7 ecosystem than just selling some new handsets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
I don't think that is even remotely the issue.

MS has done MUCH better with mango than they did with NoDo. Practically everyone is getting it in a matter of weeks as opposed to the hit and miss that we had with NoDo. Some just want it 'right this second' and if they read tech blogs they can get it.

Those that don't are still getting mango. Nothing says they're going to be stuck on NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
My feelings exactly. Those who are "unconnected" couldn't care less about updates.

My wife wouldn't know what iOS5 meant if you said it to her. She's perfectly happy with her stock 3GS, and has no interest in upgrading to even the iPhone 5.

-edit-

OP: You have got to be kidding me. Do you have any idea how SMOOTH this is going compared to NoDo? And we got two major OS updates inside of 6 months. Did 2.3 even come out yet? I swear I heard about that for about half a decade. There are some things they changed which I do not like of course, but overall this platform just took a giant leap forward. A Superman-type leap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
As I was force my Focus to get the Mango update last night, I can feel the last update download is fairly slow (at 12am EDT). Staged roll out is designed to smooth out the update server load and make sure everyone gets a plesent experience updating.

Those of us who forced our way to get the update is like cut in front of other ppl in a long line and rush to the checkout. We are creating more problem for others who play by rules.

So, I'm not sure what's the OP's problem. Do you think delivering couple hundred MBs of updates (per phone) for couple millions of phones all at once is an easy job?
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
MartyLK, all you ever do is complain. I swear, Steve Ballmer could show up at your house, plug in your WP7 phone and update it himself a month before the rest of the world, and you would complain that his tie was crooked.

It's extremely obvious that you have an axe to grind with MS for some unknown reason, so find a better forum to do it on than this and quit making ridiculous (and redudant) topics and statements.
