ahhhh ... i don't know (:

Ok then.... THANKS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Naphthoylindole:
I doubt it. First, Android is catching up to hardware for once and less than 512MB of RAM is causing major issues for some cheap-ass tablets problems. I don't know the exact requirements of 4.0 but it's probably enough that we're--at best-- at the minimum requirement. Quad core processors will be standard in new high-end smartphones in the next year, I'm sure google planned accordingly and assumed even low-end phones would at least have dual core CPUs. Also, ARM is making really cheap CPUs now so I don't doubt some mid-ends will have quad cores in the near future.

All of that = probably not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
I would think the infuse could run ICS. Tablet != Phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
While AT&T's handling of Gingerbread is nothing to write home about, I'm still hopeful that we'll see ICS. There are still VERY few dual core phones in the wilds and I don't think that the majority of consumers will be able to afford quad core phones till well into next year or later.

Why make another OS that doesn't work for the majority of handsets? That wouldn't be solving fragmentation, but making it wose :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] benyben123:
But just out of curiosity (and ignorance), isn't it possible to make our own ICS (like one of these ROM that the geniuses around here make) once they release the code or whatnot ?!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
Yes, it is completely possible. Probable is another thing entirely. It would take some work to get it done (and by some, I mean a lot). But it is possible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
sure we may get it some time around when jelly bean comes out.

i think it will come in some form. linux bozo already has it booted but no touch screen, he did this with a modded gingerbread kernel and a precompiled system dump, imagine what he'll do when sources drop!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deathmvp:
I am almost sure we will see Ice Cream for our phone. The thing is will it be a offical verson or only a custom rom.

Well they have a Nexus S port of ICS couldnt somwthing be ported from the port?
[General Questions and Answers] sharoon01:
Hi Everyone,

First off, I apologize if something like this has been posted. I tried googling and these forums but didn’t find what I was looking for. Also think it changes now with ICS vs Mango. Can’t get this off my head (I’m a commitment-phobe), forcing a lot of productivity loss at work.

Please try to avoid extremely biased and/or unsubstantiated comments. I am just looking for information on the factors below. I know I need to decide for myself. Hoping for some information to help my decision before that.

My situation:

- Need a new phone within next month (using a friend’s as a loaner)

- Eligible for 2 year upgrade on Verizon

- Pretty basic needs: Texts, email, browsing & facebook/twitter, reading, actual phone calls...Guessing OS makes a lot more impact in this situation than hardware

- Reading about new tech, gadgets, hardware, and software makes me want the next best thing. But I also realize I am being done and don't need it. Although I am guilty of sometimes wishing I had "that cool [insert x]".

- Decisions at hand: (1) Android or Windows (2) New phone on contract or older phone (probably off craigslist)

My questions and priorities (ordered by highest priority first):*Note, my tech knowledge is ~par, probably sub-par. Also, I am fine with rooting/custom rooms.

1. Overall stability. Crashes, force closes, freezing...Can really get on my nerves. I’m impatient.

2. Battery life: As both OSes focus more on hardware optimization, this should improve general battery life, right? Also, since MSFT isn’t opting for dual core yet, has this pushed Windows Phones battery lives ahead of Android’s?

3. Organization/browser/keyboard: 99% of my phone use is emails, calendar, texts, browsing & social apps, reading. I do love the iPhone keyboard, but I’m not looking at iPhone 4/4S.

4. Screen…Limits my OEM options, which limits OS at the moment. Pocketable size, responsiveness, and reading ease (I do read books on my phone).

5. Would prefer an LTE phone so I can cancel my broadband at home.

6. Music: Ease of use with synching personal collection, functionality of media player on each OS. I listen to music for ~80% of the time I am awake. Cloud worries me a bit because my 3G signal in my cube is weak and sites like Pandora/Grooveshark/AOL Radio are blocked.

For newer phones, I would end up going with Motorola Droid Razr for Android for size and durability (I’m very clumsy). For Windows I would probably wait for a Nokia phone to come to Verizon (is that likely…?). How I like them after trying 'em hands-on when they come out could change my actual phone choice, though. Internals are meh for me as long as they can support updates for a little over a year and get the job done.

Okay, this post is ridiculously long.... I would sincerely appreciate any information, comparison, or pro/con breakdown addressing any above.
[General Questions and Answers] sparkplug619:
hands down. Android.

Very stable, very customizable.

Battery life is usually around 24+ hours on normal, call, text, web use.

If you dont like the stock keyboard or web browser, download a new one, if you dont like that one, download a new one. This goes for just about everything included in the android OS.

Android usually includes facebook, twitter and gmail.

Lately, most makers have been going for the, big screen, minimum buttons, look. Its really great IMO. They are also very bright, HD, and even 3d capable.

I would recommend an htc thunderbolt, or maybe a droid of some sort.

Hi all,

Just bought an Android tablet off evilbay.

Item number: 250907151743

Anything anyone can tell me about it would be welcome.

Namely what model is it & what hacks mods and upgrades I can do to it.

Right, the first problem.

I've transferred my home webpage to it but the standard windows path doesn't work, so what path do I use to call a webpage on the sdcard from within html?

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It's better if you just post the link to it. About the homepage, why not just go to it on your device then save it as a bookmark?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IMP:
I tend to just post the item number from habit 'cos quite a few forums I go on don't like links.

I'd rather have my normal homepage rather than a list of 30 bookmarks.

Of course, if I could just install Windows on it, life would be easier :)

You could also set as your homepage. How do you expect to install Windows on it?:p

Tried Android several times, don't like it yet.

But at least if I don't get on with it, it'll sell easy enough - since Android is trendy :)

Personally I still prefer Dos and CP/M.

i was wondering if i get a new sd card will my cwm files more over to new sd card when i boot up not including my backups obviously and can i transfer my backups on my old sd card on to my new sd card sorry if this has been asked before but did not see it.. :eek:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
No. You have to copy all your files to a computer then copy them back to the new card. Your CWM is a recovery on your phone storage not your sd card. Only backups, pics, media, and data are on your sd card.

Hi guys,

i got a new Atrix with Notebook-Dock :)

My Atrix has Stock Android 2.2.2

SystemV : 4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.DE

it's very slow and there is no OTA Update available in germany :( :confused:

Have read the Form and the Noob Tut but there are only HOW-TOS for 2.3.4 :(

I think , i have to unlock the bootloader first right?

So how can i do this and which rom you are prefer for germany ?

Greetings
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joyo22:
First of all, this is the wrong section to post this. And second, you can read one of the tens FAQ's in the forum to unlock your bootloader and install a ROM. After you unlock your BD, you can install practically any ROM.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeidof:
Wrong section, but:

Read [pudding] international house of pudding topic to unlock your bootloader/ then root ur phone & install a costum recovery such as "romracer"

Then u can install a 2.3.4 rom, the fastest & most stabel is "Aura" (in my mind)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w32parite:
thank you !!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1.ATRIX-in-PT:
Hi w32parite !

I would propose the Rom from Kenneth Pennigton. It is Android 2.3.4 and German language is available.

Working very nice and perfect (in German) on my ATRIX. You could have a look on my thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307482

But your ATRIX might be a different to mine. Mine I bought in US. It is original AT&T. Must say, was original AT&T because:

- It got rid of the SIM lock

- It is rooted

- It has unblocked the bootloder now

- CWM installed

- Updated to Gingerbread

Anyway I think you should try. Try the way I did with CWM.

Everything worked fine, even it caused some fear to brick the phone. Luckily only caused fear.

I am very happy with my ATRIX.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupash:
I am currently in Germany with the AT&T version of Atrix. However the baseband used in Germany for 3g and GSM should be supported by most of the roms out there.

I would say unlock using the pudding methodology. You can find it out in the stickies of development section. After that CM7 or Alien or Aura are all fine.

However u will be able to see the carrier's name only with CM7 because of lack of support for the European base band in the US version of Blur, which is used as base for most of these roms.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
You can take a look at the solution in my signature. It uses a proxy filter to change the colors of the webpage. The current setup only works on rooted phones. Eventually maybe somebody can package it into an app that will work on unrooted phones.

Without root, one possible solution is that instead of running the proxy filter on your phone, you run it somewhere else. You basically need something to act as your proxy server, say a home router or computer that is on 24/7. Run privoxy on your home router/computer, and set the proxy settings on your phone to point at your home router/computer. Kind of a crude solution but it should work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] k3nt00:
Hey Everyone,

So I'm on Sprint with the photon 4g and after receiving the latest update about a week ago my headset jack has essentially become dead. Tried everything I could think of... It's 100% stock. Anyone else experience this? Guessing something good got messed up at the driver level, the hardware, that being two copper contacts hah, didn't experience any damage.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Checked mine and it seems to be working on latest update.

May have to try a factory reset from recovery and see if that helps. Not sure what else to do except take it in to Sprint.

Assuming you tried another set of headphones to see if they work. ;)

I had this problem and figured it out. There was some lint in my jack, just use a pin to dig it out, works great!

After hours on the phone with Sprint and being transferred to multiple departments, I received a call back today explaining the following:

Samsung has delivered the MR with the LOS update for Sprint. SPRINT WILL NOT BE PUSHING THIS MR OUT UNTIL MID TO LATE DECEMBER POSSIBLY JANUARY.

Please keep in mind this information did not come from a customer service rep or a sprint store rep.

Sent from my LOS 4G Touch

********************UPDATE*********************

*******************10/27/2011*******************

Just wanted to post an update...

Since the original post I have exchanged my E4GT for a new one... I have had the new phone for several days now and although I have not had any LOS issues (specifically circle with line through it) I have lost several calls (Message with "Call Lost)

Spoke to the escalation managers boss and this is what I was told...

-The MR is still in testing at Sprint and the absolute earliest release date will be in December.

- The update will address LOS issue, maintaining wifi connections, and something about refreshing 3g/4g after losing signal (my phone was breaking up and missed some words here and there)

- They are also aware of some minor bugs ie phone dialing wrong people in certain cases and some resource leaks???? (not sure what he was talking about gain) assuming it has to do with battery drain... but there is no guaranteed that the issues will be addressed in the MR and that it may be addressed in the next version of the OS (I'm assuming ICS)

He went on to explain that the service in my area (Southern California) will get worse before it gets better. He said old towers are being replaced with new multi-band towers in the area which means at any given time we will have less towers in service till the upgrades are completed.

Now take everything with a grain of salt... I know that this is not concrete information but the guy is one out of a million at sprint who seems to actually know what he is talking about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It's time for either EVERYBODY PANIC or SPECULATE WILDLY.

I'll start with the wild speculation:

It's because that's the ICS update and they can't roll that out before the the Galaxy Nexus release due to some sort of exclusivity agreement with Google and Verizon (and maybe Sprint)...

SOMEONE LEAK SOMETHING ALREADY PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAK SOMETHING.

Okay, NOW EVERYBODY PANIC

Actually in passing the person who contacted me explained that although SGSII will receive ICS it will not be till May or June and that the MR will be separate from ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Ive been thinking the same thing the last couple weeks lol

Im going to take pass on it for a couple week after release
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
To be honest that seems like a reasonable time frame. For me? No...but from a major carrier, yes. I mean reasonable as in "reasonable to expect." I, personally, find it downright insulting since working (if alpha/beta) builds of it almost certainly exist.

All snarkyness aside, thanks for the heads up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Sounds like the author is making this stuff up.

Did you forget to mention the important information about ICS release in the OP, OP?

I call BS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Who cares? We have XDA for stuff like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
My call was not to Sprint to get ICS it was a call to get out of my contract in regards to LOS. The person that responded to me gave me solid information about the LOS MR. He had information about the MR and the rest was speculative. I posted the facts and omitted the speculation in my OP.

Call BS if you like... When you have to wait till the end of the year to get an LOS fix from Sprint just remember you were warned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
That is what I hope for as well... However we don't have the actual E4GT Kernel yet. Thus far I had 0 LOS prior to root - about 50 instances of LOS after root - and only 5 LOS after restoring to stock thanks to ACS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You should have 0 los after restoring to stock.

If I'm not mistaken, there's not been a single case reported where a person didn't have los, then rooted, restored back to stock-pulled, and had los again.

Did you use stock-pulled kernel or the so called "stock" (which it isn't)?

Did you update profile after restoring?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
I don't see any facts here... its all speculation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Fair enough. Though the time frame seems reasonable in carrier-logic.

Either way I think it's safe to say that it's enough so that EVERYBODY PANIC.

I rooted with the Zedomax pre-rooted kernel and went back to stock by using stock rooted kernel, factory reset, and odined this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1273647

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neverends:
that's fine - the information was received from people directly responsible for releasing sprints MR's. Also I contacted Samsung prior to calling sprint and was told that the issue was resolved and the fix was "in the pipeline"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awesomeindeed:
I have not rooted my phone and I get LOS pretty frequently. Factory resets and whatnot do not fix the issue. There is a real issue here, and they're being very quiet and slow about fixing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You obviously messed something up, since you were not getting any los before rooting. You can try a couple of things:

1) Flash cwm kernel of any kind (I prefer cwm4, because it doesn't require external sd card for nand operations.)

2) Wipe system/data/cache, flash a stock rom (as stock as you can find).

3) Power off and flash stock-pulled from bubby, or lostkernel (I think both are los free).

4) Reboot and immediately update profile and prl.

You can also try to ask someone at sprint to reprovision the phone. Or do it yourself with hands-free activation data reset. In case zedo kernel somehow messed up provisioning data.

Another idea (just came up with it, don't know if it makes sense) is to program the phone yourself with qpst app. Compare qpst programming data of your own phone to that of someone else without los. Maybe there's an obvious discrepancy, and you can fix it.

They told me last night after being on the phone with them for 3 1/2 hours that it was going to be released as Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4 in mid November. We argued about it for about 20 minutes but he claimed that his memo said that the fix was in Ice Cream sandwich update 2.4 slated for mid November. Sprint needs to get there stuff together, they are not even letting me get out of my contract over this issue. They told me that it is their expectation for everyone to wait with messed up phones, no release date or any other information with out any compensation. In different words though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
Right but they are NOT going to give real ETAs just like any other dev.

Everyone gets two weeks to see if the phone/contract is right for them. After that you have to deal with support or buy a different phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jgipp2001:
Yes I know I am well aware of the terms sprints contract has. I was an early adopter I have had this phone since day one. I was in Sprints store on day four. They pushed me past my 14 days blaming it on towers and telling me to be patient and there was a fix coming. Ive had the issues since the day I got it, and Thats been over a month now. No root with like 5 apps and I can get Los 11 or 12 times a day some days now. It has been getting progressively worse. I am fighting to get out of the contract because they pressured me into keeping my phone well past the 14 days and I dont want to commit to a phone that doesnt look like its getting an update to as late as January.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lento10:
What's the difference between the two?

Screw your Sprint store and get on the phone with them. I have been offered new phones, full-upgrades, $15...a month, inconvenience credits...all over my Evo3D getting bad reception.
