[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
What exactly would WP7 OS use dual cores for?!

Android has true multi-tasking; apps can run normally in the background same as in the foreground. Therefore dual-core was needed on Android, just to keep things running smooth.

IPhone just got dual core to help with Siri, and to keep game performance in line with the Ipad2.

WP7 would use dual cores...where? and for what currently? "Multitasking" is extremely limited, OS already runs smooth, and there aren't any games that tax 2nd gen phones running single-core CPU. Certainly not enough obvious benefits to justify extra cost and battery drain.

It's more likely to be added as a new hardware requirement for WP8. But it'll require a huge OS re-write, so for this generation, forget it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You don't have to do multitasking to take advantage of multicores. There are definitely improvements to be had within individual apps, games, and things like web browsing.

The most important thing about multicore (and what kind of annoys me when people say WP7 doesn't need it) is that all current generation SoC are multicore. If we don't get these SoC, we're getting old GPUs and older manufacturing processes.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] LouisCSK:
Hi.

I recently dropped my HD2 and as a result, the screen is shattered although the insides work. My phone is running the 7720 Back to the Future ROM.

I've decided to buy a real Windows Phone (probably the Titan) and I was wondering, was there anyway I could make a backup of my HD2 and transfer it to the new phone? If not, is there a manual way I can transfer app settings and files to the new phone?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] quentin.0160:
Hi There.

I think that,when you activate your new Phone with the activation code from the HD 2,your Contacts and Apps will automaticly loaded to the new Phone.Because WP7 is based on cloud system.That means,all Data like contacts,Apps,pictures are stored in the cloud sealed with your own Activation Code.I´ve read that you could use 5 WP7 Devices with 1 Activation Code at same time.And all Devices have the same config.

My phone can acess and categorize the files from my SD card no problem. But no matter what file explorer app I cannot seem to pull up my sd card.

I am using CM7 if that changes anything.

EDIT: The file viewer shows me the SD card but what is says is my SD shows the contents on my internal card not my external one.

Your looking at the directory for the built in SD card. The external SD card is located in local/mnt/sdcard-ext.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Oh God I hope not! The Jeddaks would start a war if they did! Cloud computing has a major drawback, you need the internet for it to work. Not to mention it is fairly limited. They would be better off to partner with Canonical and build a proper release for webtop capable phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I agree however, if it's goggles baby it could happen, and not just to motorola. This could be a later stepping stone to make android more appealing. Built in chrome os for docked android phones. While I wouldn't care for it, the general public might. Plus you did read about the chrome team creating a version of chrome for android. It wouldn't take much to later implement a large screen version with hdmi plugged in. They wouldn't have to make it chrome os to give us the same functionality.

Chrome OS on outdated photon 4g

Ok so I have a new Galaxy S4 and a perfectly fine photon 4g that is collecting dust. I want to be able to use my photon 4g for only lapdock related content like surfing and such... The problem is, as many have seen, is once you hit 2.3.5 you are pretty much stuck. What I want to do is wipe the phone and put chrome OS on it as I only need lapdock functions to work and I don't care if it has a Sprint Radio or not. This way I can still use it with more current applications that webtop won't or can't support. Has anyone else thought of this idea or is it even possible? The hardware supports it, the screen is made for it and the battery life would be crazy for it as I have a bionic lapdock that works great for it.

Please let me know if I am crazy to even think to try this project as I am a new to posting on here...

[Defy Themes and Apps] HytestA:

[Defy Themes and Apps] 5pace:
It's a Tegra game, so you need Chainfire3d to run that game on Defy.
[Defy Themes and Apps] HytestA:
I have Chainfire running, and I know Tegra is working because Riptide runs.

But sprinkle just closes after opening. Guess ill just have to wait to see if a solution appears :(

[Defy Themes and Apps] Chinu9:
You dont need chainfire for either riptide or sprinkle. PowerVR versions of both have been released on the market.
[Defy Themes and Apps] AeroFlip:
Strange, it doesn´t show up on my market and if i go to the AppBrain it says that it´s not compatible with my device.
[Defy Themes and Apps] labsin:
You're right

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mediocre.sprinklefree&feature=more_from_developer&pli=1

It is compatible with the x10 I have on my account but not the defy. But I think it'll install and play nice if you get it offmarket.

Edit: I have send a mail to the support as I suspect there is no real reason for it to be unsupported. They are almost forcing us to get it illegal ^^

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trisle:
Hi guys,

When I bought my Nexus S, the music player (the one that has an icon of a speaker) was very cool. Suddenly, one day it asked me to upgrade to a newer version. The newer version of music player (the one that has a headphone icon) looks more beautiful in the design, but quite crappy in the functionality since I can't really set my preferred EQ for songs, or to change the ringtone (in the old player, I just tap and hold a certain song to load the options where I can set it as a ringtone).

So do you know how can I switch back to the older music player?

Thanks,

Tris.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
You should just be able to go to the relevant entry in the Marketplace or the phone settings application list and uninstall the updated version. The stock player will be retained, unless you've rooted your phone and manually deleted it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minijumbuk:
Hi guys, I'm pretty new here and I'm having trouble flashing ANY rom onto my galaxy s2. It is rooted because I've been able to install CWM and Titanium backup.

Intalling package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistxx:
Hey mate.. You have a permissions issue..

The way I fixed it was to install super manager (free from marketplace).. Enable the root functions in settings, then use it to browse to the root folder (where you'll see system, lib etc) select all of the folders there and use super manager to change the attributes to R/W... (attributes button is the one with the $$$ symbols on the menu).. Once done, reboot and try again.

You could also find that in CWM boot menu, the fix permissions options will fix it.. Try that first.. It didn't work for me though but super manager did

Good Luck

This happen to me too....probably ur ROm does not come with CWM..

try use ODIN to flash this kernel..

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651559&d=1310388033

then only u reboot ur phone with the CWM icon inside your phone

before u flash the kernel...makesure u wipe the phone data and wipe cache.

hope this will help ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Best to flash fresh from stock firmware and flash cf root.. It has a stock kernel and is already rooted with superuser and cwm manager..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Changing permission to r/w for all directories is a bad idea.

In cwm, goto 'install zip from sdcard', and select 'toggle signature verification' to turn it off.

Now install ur rom.

I went on a trip recently to a location that had limited internet connectivity. I decided to download some movies from the Samsung media hub in advance. Well what do you know when I am finally out of wireless range andI want to watch my movies it won't let me because it wants to connect to the internet. Things like this are why Apple still dominates media heavy devices. If I have paid for a rental I should be able to watch it with or without wireless connectivity for the period that I rented it for.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Wow, how stupid. I just tried it with some TV shows I purchased outright and it needs a signal in order to launch. Once it's launched and you're signed in it allows you to watch what's on your Tab without being connected. But you have to keep it running in the background because if it's closed it'll need a signal again to log you back in. Not really well thought out at all.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PjD122170:
After flying home today I found that the rental will not play when their isn't a internet connection.

I am guessing it wants the internet connection so it can verify you have started watching the video? and lock it down after 24 hours?

Movies and TV episodes worked fine though.

This is on a VZW LTE version if it makes any difference.

I love the Tab 10.1 over an iPad but you gotta be kidding me. Who thought of this crap?! I was furious. Apple has similar rules but once you start watching it, the device itself will disable it in 24 hours. WTF were they thinking?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Can I just throw out here that all this complaining (which really shouldn't be on XDA, a developer website) is directed towards the tablet, when in reality the problem is one single crappy software application. There's many, many ways to watch video on the tablet that don't require an internet connection. In fact, I'd venture a guess that there's more ways to watch than with the iPad (gasp!). But here you are complaining and comparing tablets, when in reality you should just spend a second figuring out how to watch your videos without the internet connection. I'm sure the time you spent complaining about it (on a developer website) could have been spent looking for a solution. BTW- if you read the not-so-small print on the media hub page you'd know that you needed an internet connection to watch.

I had this same issue as well..but I read the samsung media hub pdf and those were the instructions to play it offline...I know...ITS BASS Ackwards for media hub to deploy it this way...but that is the way it works for....it works well for me and I now have no issues with rentals or purchases.

If someone asks a question, I wouldn't reply unless I was knowledgable in the matter. Someone who says the carrier name is in the top bar obviously doesn't have the phone, and most likely has an iphone, which I'm not sure why they'd even be here.

Either way, assuming he\she was responding with good intentions and mis-spoke, whats the point of telling me where to find the carrier name. Doesn't the fact that I'm asking how to CHANGE the carrier name make it crystal clear that I know and see the carrier name, but want to CHANGE it?
