*cries* Yeah and I wish they hadn't done so now they are so cash strapped it'll be a while before we see improvements around here? :/

=======================
[Motorola Photon 4G] devilsshadow:
It will most likely come to the photon one way or another so I'm going to patiently wait. By the time there will be any talk of ICS on our photons we'll be dabbling in sweet sweet CM7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dreDrennon1:
I was asking everyone for their opinions just to get some idea of what I should do...I would wait for sprint to get the device because I used to work for Verizon and they are full of **** over there but I am not sure about the devices as a whole...things have been moving really slow over here and I give much thanks and props to the guys that have been developing over here but I am used to flashing at will without all of the problems with 4g wifi etc...I get bored easily so I am already looking for my next device but when I can flash at will it keeps my current device fresh and new for me and I don't get bored with it as fast....if I can get ICS in the next couple of Weeks thru a leak our something I will be good until upgrade time I guess
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Motorola is probably working on it but a release of ics won't be until march April maybe.. It won't come overnight but in time...
[Motorola Photon 4G] rohit3192:
Though ICS is looking dam good on Galaxy Nexus keep in mind that Samsung is not good with updates.So,if there is any bug in initial release only God can help you.

For example Samsung Infuse released with froyo and Samsung almost forgot about this phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeff_in_LA:
FUNNY!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
Never!

Is a Samsung!

Is in Verizon!

Too many problems to start with!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
If its pure Google like all other Nexus phones then Samsung will not control the updates it will be Google, that means updates before any other device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dmora01:
That is when is a android updates, but when is hardware updates, radio, screen, battery, touch inputs and a lot more problmes, those come from samsung and they are slowwww. I had nexus s and that why I know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Ah, good point :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Hey guys -- looking forward to joining this infuse community if all goes well.

My first question is the obvious one -- the inspire's dev community is thriving (in my opinion) and the infuse seems to pale in comparison; is the infuse still being worked on or was it just kinda forgotten by the great devs?

How about the GPS? Does samsung's GPS still blow chunks? Have had great success with my Inspire with all the mods and such, getting a perfect lock in a few seconds, hoping the Infuse is just up to par.

And what's all this with RPS file system? What does it do that makes the phone slower, and is there any way to convert to ext4? Pardon my complete lack of understanding, I don't understand any of this.

I really like the cyanogenmod ROM i've been running on my inspire -- is there going to be official support/love for the infuse or is it going to stay unofficial ports? No offense to the dev of the port, but it's just a question.

I'm not used to trade off's when modding my phone. I don't want to grab a ROM and sacrifice bluetooth or battery life. Would this be an issue with the Infuse?

Thanks!

PS: Sorry for duplicate threads, realized this is probably a better section for this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] seano666:
We have lots of cool stuff here, but no much that is 'official' since we rely on ports, leaks, patches, and our outstanding developers. I have not missed CM7 at all since I came to the infuse. So much to flash and tweak and try!

-Sent from the Chuck Norris of phones
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Do you think things will change once GB is officially out? Or am I late and is it already out haha.

If so I'll go through with this trade off, but I really don't want to trade out a high-traffic (regarding development anyways) device for one that relies solely on ports with no real "official" love from them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] madman_sle:
Thread got moved while replying I think lol, I posted a reply while it was in Q&A... :-\
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Don't worry madman I'll go check out your post -- appreciate any response at all!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Development will definitely pick up once official GB comes out, I know for sure that a few of the more popular Roms will get an "Official GB" update, not to mention it might spike interest in mainstream Roms such as CM7, MIUI (or atleast I'm hoping :D)

I think one of my favorite Infuse abilities is Linuxbozo's Hellraiser Rom, you can ports tons of JVQ Roms from other phones. Let's just say it's not easy to get bored with this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Been looking at a ton of other threads and people seem to think GB won't be officially coming out -- but as that bootloader leak shows it seems it will.

What do you think? That's really the only thing holding me back -- whether or not GB will officially be released. I don't need a huge variety of ROM's; I cycled between 3 on my inspire. I just want a few really stable ones.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Oh and most of the Roms here convert to ext4.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

It will, slowly but surely we've been getting more and more leaks. The past 3 weeks we have gotten a weekly leak compared to a monthly before

, basically this shows that sammy is hard at work trying to get us GB, they wouldn't invest the time if it wasn't going to happen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Samsung hard at work for the community? Since when? :p

Thanks for the help! Lastly all I have to ask is GPS; does it have the issues that the captivate had?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
There will be official GB, just the fact that we got bootloaders shows that Samsung is preparing to get GB fully ready to ship to AT&T, and since it's already bloated, all AT&T has to do is start OTA'ing it.

If you need to flash different ROM's then what we have now (I won't lie, the Rogers GB based ROM's aren't the best, but they function and are stable, but the AT&T GB based ones will be MUCH better.

Also, if you want to test more ROM's out, just grab LB's hellraiser, find a JVQ, JVR, anything that the thread lists you can flash, grab the ROM itself from the i9k, vibrant, captivate, and flash away! There's so many ROM possibilities thanks to LB (and all you other dev's that helped).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Honestly...yes in my opinion,when my phone was stock but once I flashed Serendipity 7 with Angry GPS, it completley fixed the GPS issues I had. Really, any probs we have with the infuse IS fixed or WILL be fixed with official GB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Interesting; if it opens the doors completely then what's with the hubbub of developing infuse native roms if we can just take another phone's? Do the hellraiser-ported rom's function as if native, or are some features missing?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I might not be 100% correct but I'm pretty sure Hellraiser serves as a basis on which we then download non-infuse Roms, which means it optimizes it to work like a native rom with the infuse, it really is an awesome way to fulfill your "multiple rom addiction" that most of us have :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
I'll definitely look into it! Thanks for the tip.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
No problem glad I could help
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Hootyhoo:
I'll try and make this short. Phone charges fine on comp. or charger. Phone works some what fine. Bluetooth seems to be getting quieter and quieter, but thats not the main issue. WMDC isnt working. I uninstalled it and restarted, I downloaded a newer version, I even tried about 5 cables and still the computer isnt even seeing any device what so ever. I was going to task 29 and reflash but now I'm affraid if the phones not even being recognized. Is there some setting or something that happened to of gotten changed that block my phone other than the obvious -virus protection.

Using windows 7. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Kueh:
Try a different usb port. I have had issues where the port I normally use for charging/syncing refuses to recognize my phone. I just use a different port and everything works fine. Even the first port starts working again. Windows 7 does seem to reinstall drivers again when I use switch ports, so patience is required.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Hootyhoo:
Tried many different ports. Can't do a hard reset because : 1- I have some info and text that needs to be sync'd and : 2 my end button doesn't work anymore. Actually it was sticking so I kinda disconnected it. I would try to do a reflash from a SD card but like I said, I have stuff that I need sync'd and I'm not really sure if the phone just isnt going bad or software. I guess either way it wouldn't matter. Would like to learn how to sync with wifi.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Kueh:
I believe there is a wifi-sync method/program, but am not aware of the specifics. You could save your information to your sd card and simply use a usb reader to transfer the information that way. Or you can use the blutooth explorer on the phone to transfer to another blutooth device. Or I believe Google has a sync service so you can sync you information to your computers anytime and anywhere.

You can remap the "end" function to another key.

Your phone's usb port could have a cracked connection as mine disconnects while synced if I move the phone too much.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] niavaran:
WMDC does not recognize the Mobile Device "MSW Vista and Later OS"

Try this procedure(s);

Settings, All Settings, Connections, USB Connections, clear the "Fast File Transfer" check mark under the Active Sync option. Restart the device and before connecting to the PC Double check to see if the the fast file transfer is still clear. then go ahead and try to see if your PC sees your device. Good Luck.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Oneiros42:
Here's an issue I've had for quite awhile, but it's been so intermittent I haven't taken the time to write about it until now.

Sometimes after I haven't turned on the "data" network on my phone for a few days, I'll find it won't turn on at all until I reboot the phone.

I don't use data that often, I just keep wifi on most of the time. The data allowance on my phone plan is extremely limited (only 100mb) so I keep it off unless I need it. Since I can go for days without turning it on, sometimes I'll find out that it just doesn't turn on at all (the box is checked but it doesn't connect) until I've rebooted the phone. Once it's back up it connects to the data no problem.

I've been on CM7 for the last month and GingerLOL before that, and this has happened on both ROMs. That makes me think it's a hardware issue, but I thought I'd check here first in case anyone else has had this happen to them. I'd also really rather not have to go through the trouble of setting the phone back to stock and unrooting it (that's possible, right?) before I make a warranty claim. :P

So, has anyone had this issue on their phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Oneiros42:
Thought I'd try bumping this thread since nobody responded to it the first time.

I've since upgraded to CM9 but the issue persists, if I don't use data for a couple days then it won't turn on. The toggle will say "on" but the icon never appears in the notification bar. Am I really the only one this happens to?

Does leaving data on drain power when you're using wifi?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
instead of rebooting, use airplane mode.

it will be faster!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Oneiros42:
I'll try that next time it happens, thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I don't think that much of it actually. Apple and Google have done so little with their major OS releases that I feel like they've given Microsoft a year to catch up.

Android is a very capable OS, but I don't think its visually appealing and apparently lags even on the Galaxy Nexus.

I don't think there was a single thing to be excited about. Overall, just incremental improvements.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Android is still Android.

Slow, ugly, a festival of force closes, and it just doesn't integrate with the Microsoft ecosystem very well at all. Putting a new coat of paint on Android is exactly what phone manufacturers do day in and day out. With HTC, you already have the integration with Facebook and Twitter, but Windows Phone 7 still does it in a much more appealing and better integrated way.

I carry two phones around, and my Windows Phone will still be my main for the foreseeable future.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Ok,so you think that all the features added on android 4.0 is just incremental upgrade?

Good on you...
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Would love to hear what about it excites you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Actually the contacts app has been like that. They just redesigned it. Looks totally like the people hub, only better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I do give them credit for allowing developers to integrate into the people app. That's one area Microsoft definitely needs to improve
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
Here's a neater roundup of ICS new features with pictures:

http://pocketnow.com/android/googles-ice-cream-sandwich-event-starts-soon

Yep it has a "People" hub, which is basically the same as WP7. However, *any* 3rd party app can integrate with it, so google+ and skype for example will be able to add their contact info and feeds there, which is nice. More integrated OS than Windows Phone.

Also metro look and feel to the stock OS, which is a bit of a rip-off but looks pretty smart! I really like it, very tempting!

This is a pretty fanboy-ish answer. ICS is a pretty major new version, we have no idea how fast it runs or whether it's still buggy until reviews start coming in.

Also regarding the "Microsoft ecosystem", Android has an official Bing app that does Bing search, maps, image search and local search. There is also an official Hotmail app, plus Android supports Exchange and Microsoft business networks better than WP7. So how exactly does it not integrate well?!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
What? Vetvito saying something on Android is better than Windows Phone? I'm stunned. No... shocked.

Anyway... let's give hats off to Android for finally putting some thought into the end-user experience of their OS. This is certainly a step in the right direction. Perhaps some elements are Windows Phone inspired, perhaps not.

Thing is... Windows Phone changed the game as far as UX goes whether we know or not, whether some admit it or not. MS has done something fresh, and completely different than what their competitors have been doing. So, ya know what? That means those competitors now have to step up their game.

In turn, MS will have to step up theirs and so on. A beneficial outcome for nerds, geeks, technophiles, average users, young, old, cats, and dogs, yo mama, and anything else I missed.

So, good on ya, Google.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
So its Mango vs Ice cream sandwich!

Pick your poison! I love it.

The facial lock looks awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Lol...well said...

pick your poison...

changed the thread to ice cream sandwich vs mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
I am not all that impress with Ice Cream Sandwich.

The update seems to be more about UI revamp that anything else.

The there are only a few new major features:

People app: a plain ripoff from Windows Phone

Face Unlock: I would love to have on Windows Phone

photo editor: I am really surprise Windows Phone doesn't have one

Android Beam: I seriously cannot care less

What Windows Phone really needs is LTE support and to a lesser extent dual-core support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
How about the new ICS People Hub?

For ages posters on here have been saying that contacts and social media integration are the best thing about WP7. Now Android has the same feature (with better integration options), bet you the same posters will either ignore it or just dismiss it as a rip-off.

Mark my words, I will be re-quoting this post alot in the near future :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Yes its a nice feature in ICS. But are you saying its not a rip off? It very much is ;p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
nice - day2die just edited his post to include the people app, and has dismissed it as a rip-off. Boom, point proven ;)

All mobile OS's borrow ideas from each other. The problem is "rip-off" implies that's a bad thing, where as actually it's a good thing! For example, IPhone stole Android's notification tray. Is that a bad thing? No, because it works really well, and now you don't have to buy a Android to get that feature.

Saying ICS ripped off a neat WP7 feature makes Android look stronger and WP7 look weaker, not the other way round.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
I edited my post even before you post yours. Also, People Hub is not the only feature Windows Phone have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
It doesn't really matter whether its a rip off or not. It's good for the companies to steal from each other and improve things along the way. Google having similar functionality but with better integration is going to push Microsoft to do the same and one-up Google.

Competition is a wonderful thing :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
For god sakes, you people seem to imply that social network integration is the ONLY feature Windows Phone has.

OMG, Android has now copied the People Hub. Windows Phone is DOOM! /s
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
One more time. The contacts app has been like this for YEARS, they just redesigned it. Any app could hook into it, ex. Facebook and twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
No surprise there. There's a few things in Android that Microsoft should rip straight to Windows Phone.

And I am sure Microsoft will. Mango was RTMed in July and Microsoft probably has been working on Tango for about four months now.
