[HTC EVO 3D] jdawglx01:
I respect Jobs for what he did in regards to bringing tech to the masses and making it accessible and making sure it worked properly. But I can't help but wonder how one of his conversations with a HTC or Samsung rep went down:

Jobs: "Stop copying our stuff!"

HTC: "Stop pretending you invented anything. You took a palm pilot and taped a phone to it. Congratulations!"

Jobs: "..."

Anyone else ever watch Pirates of Silicon Valley? Interesting stuff, if it is really how it went down.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Several of us have watched pirates of silicon valley, as previously mentioned. I believe it to be based on fact, obviously some of it was slightly Hollywood'd up for entertainment value, but the basic facts are true. The last point resonates with me because that is the way I see it too. Woz and jobs didn't do much in the way of inventing, more stealing, copying, changing already existed product into their own twist and brands, then the charismatic marketing genius jobs sold the hell out of it.

How sad for Steve Jobs to die as an angry old man like Steve Ballmer, but without the weight.
[HTC EVO 3D] LurkerJoe:
I think Steve was angry over Eric Schmidt and Andy Rubin. Both these men had a lot of influence on Android and both these men were also related to Apple.

As mentioned before, Android was changed from a BB substitute to an iPhone substitute.

All of that combined, as well as things that probably happened behind the scenes, probably pissed Steve off.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cape Lucid:
But why?

Andy went with android and it was Apple that invited Schmidt not other way around.

When you coldly look at this you might get the idea that it was Jobs that wanted to keep Goog close. You think he would let them in on their request when he knew they got android?

Nope.
[HTC EVO 3D] LurkerJoe:
It's not about who invited who, it was about Schmidt leaving that pissed him off. There was obviously a conflict of interest and they had a falling out and Schmidt decided to leave. As he left, he took with him all he had picked up from his time at Apple and eventually used those influences in Android.

Jobs eventually met with Schmidt later and told him to stop using Apple's ideas in Android, and I'm sure this is why he is so mad in that quote.

Hi just want to ask the community if there is a fix on lag and too much force close if the apps and programs after I flashed the arhd 3.6.2 version. Plus signal became unstable also.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Try to "reflash" the rom again.

Remember to backup! :)
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Ok ill try. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Quakeworld:
Also, make sure to do a 'full wipe' before reflashing. You may also want to consider 'downgrading' superuser right now. The current version is bugged and causing issues like you've described. Just a suggestion... :D
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Full wipe means use superwipe? Or use the wipe factory/system data option from cwm? And how to check which version of superuser I have ? Thanks and sorry for so many questions, I know that there's a thread to answer all these by its like digging for a treasure to find the right thread.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

A super wipe will clear all the necessary caches and data for a clean install.

To check an app version,go to settings >applications>manage applications>all>superuser.

I cannot understand why you are still not getting a smooth experience from 3.6.2.

I put up a super user 3.0.2 on THIS POST

Good luck.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Thanks. I actually also don't know why I still have glitches when using 3.6.2 version but its way better than 4.1.3 that I flashed the other day. I'm sure there's something I did or should have done so I will not get this glitches like unstable signal, apps force closing.
[HD7 General] rternier:
I currently own an HTC Hero on Telus and it's pretty much fried. It won't mount to PC (no matter what mode), can't get into boot loader, can't flash, super user crashes, etc. So, I'm looking at purchasing a new HD7 for 180$ .

I'm a telus customer, and the HD7 is Bell phone. It is not unlocked.

Can I just push my SIM card into it, or will I need to unlock it? If so, is there a better way than paying someone 30$ to do it?

Thanks.
[HD7 General] nalgrim:
I sent you an email. I believe they are on the same network. Back when I was phon e shopping the bell dealer said for me to buy a used bell or telus phone and he d activate it for mw.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheKid1:
A few questions:

First off, I am assuming that the phone has 2 SD cards: 1 that is built in, and 1 external SD card(if you purchased one).

1) After I "unmount SD card"(assuming this is the external one that I've purchased), I go to gallery and there are 8 photos there that are labeled:

"sdcard (8)". SInce I've already "unmounted" the SD card, I'm assuming these 8 photos are saved on the phone's built in SD card. Can someone confirm that what I've said is correct?

2) After I "mount SD card", a lot more photos pop up when I go back to gallery. They are labeled as follows: 89 photos that are labeled "Camera_External (89)" and 15 photos that are labeled ""100MEDIA" (15)". Ok now I'm assuming all these 104 photos are saved on the external SD card that I've purchased. Can someone confirm this is correct?

3) How do you control which SD card(phone and external) your photos and videos get saved to?

4) How do you move photos and videos from the phone SD card to the external SD card?

5) When I sync my phone with a google account, how do I get all these photos to sync? It seems I can only get my contacts and calendar to sync.

Sorry for so many questions guys, but I do appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Woolf:
Hey Ryan, just downloaded, feedback to follow.

OT, Just like to say a big thanks - without your oclf app, i would never have rooted my sgs and been introduced to the world of Android modding.
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Version 0.2 is now available.

+ You can disable adverts now.

+ Couple bug fixes

Still no feedback yet.. if you get a chance, test it out and let me know if you like it or not!
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Woolf:
Hi ryan, if this fe has root access, then it's not easy to find! I'm running miui on my sgs1. The explorer has root granted, but no files when I choose root access from places menu.

For me the background could be a little darker or plain to make text easier to read.

Also the red arrow saying swipe is pointing the opposite way to which u need to swipe - it seems counter intuitive to me (but that could be a personal thing).

I'd prefer much smaller tabs for each file, there's lots of space around the text - if there was less space around the text of each file, you would be able to fit more information on the screen which would make searching for a file easier. (hope I've explained myself ok)

Will play some more.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSamurai:
Decided to test this out on my Acer Iconia Tab(HC3.2) to test compatability.

Initial thoughts:

1. App has a low memory footprint and browsed directories quickly. +1

2. As you can see in the screeny below, the app looks fine at high resolutions. +1

3. Root file explorer functions work as needed. +1

4. Background is tiled and does not look good on a high-res screen. Perhaps give the option to choose a solid background color... -1

That's my initial thoughts as of yet, keep up the good work and good progress thus far.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Woolf:
How did u get to root files?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSamurai:
Simple as that...

Select the places option and choose root access.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Woolf:
Yep, did that, no joy. I've updated superuser and checked root with root checker app. Poss problem with sgs1 or cm7/miui?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidSamurai:
It`s a possibility, but I'm running it on HC3.2 with no issues.

Go into app manager(settings/applications/manage applications) and clear the app cache/data then reboot and try again.

If the above doesn't work contact the dev for more solutions.
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
I use 'toolbox ls' to get the files for root access. I'm guessing your device has a non-android-standard toolbox binary. Weird. I'll compile up my own one and include it after I do the theme selection.

It's not really made for tablets yet - tablet version should have multiple small views so you can see multiple folders at once. I'm going to finish the phone side before doing tablet optimizations though.

Thanks for the feedback though, great stuff! :D
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Version 0.3 is up.

+ Theme browser

+ Kittens!

Next up is an included mini-busybox so that root mode will work on all devices, plus viewing/setting permissions for root mode.
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Version 0.4 is up.

+ 36KB independent busybox is included for max compatibility.

+ Permissions for the root browser.

The app is nice but could you add an option to be able to use our own background

Stewie just said that!
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Done - works with live wallpaper as well. V0.4.1:

+ Added device option to the theme browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Patrick-Mav:
Hi,

just gave it a testdrive. Works ok and fast.

- all the fonts are way too big. Could fit much more onto the screen. In list view, as well in detail view

- clicking on file or folder doesn't do anything than showing the swipe reminder. It should open.

- the swipe reminder points to the right, but I have actually swipe to the left to make something happening.

Keep up and thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow-Nexus:
Hey in next release could you add an option to disable the big red arrows
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
Thanks for the feedback! Next version will have a list size option - 'small' 'medium' 'large', with large being the current one and medium the default.

Clicking on the file or folder does do something - it gets a checkmark over the icon to show it's selected. Just tap on the flashing action button at the bottom of the screen to copy/move/delete all the selected files.

Swipe reminder needs to change, yeah. I'm thinking a one time help screen when you first start the app would be better.

Thanks guys. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Woolf:
I have root access! New version fixed problem. Just need option to adjust tab/font size now for more info on-screen.
[Android Apps and Games] RyanZA:
V0.4.2 !

+ Setting in options to change list size. Default list size is smaller.

+ Changed swipe indicator. It moves right to left now, too.

EDIT: 0.4.3

+ Slightly larger gaps between items.

+ Swipe indicator is now less visible. (0.75 alpha)
[TouchPad General] newarkhiphop:
hey guys just wanted to let you know its possible to have the Iris voice assitant on the TP, iris is a port of the IOS "siri" here are some threads on it

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/enter-iris-so-long-siri-we-hardly-knew-ye/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18550988#post18550988

the app itself is on the android market but you need Google Voice Search and TTS Libary on your touchpad for it to work, TTS library was already on the Touchpad but voice search was not

Found it in the market but it says that the touchpad is not supported. Did some googling ;) and was able to find a .apk link and side loaded on the touch pad no problem

At first voice recognition was pretty awful but them i went into DSPManager in our app drawer and changed a couple of settings that made it much better

- effect strength to moderate

-made sure bass boost was disabled

-selected Vocal booster under select preset.

Will be honest it very limited to what it can do on the touch pad so far you can ask basic question about time,weather, what is... tell me about.... search this.... and it it wrong about half the time BUT its an app that is in alpha phase so

anyways here is a very quick vid i did search for pizza hut and blockbuster and how to say hello in french

[TouchPad General] Daughain:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
If your bootloader is unlocked you can't update over the air, ie. on the phone itself.

You can still install all the updates you want using the computer.

Since you get the blue light you must be unlocked.

As for needing it, not especially. I like the newest things so I did, fixed some bugs I had.

I can't really help, but for what it is worth I upgraded my O2 Play when I got it a few days ago. It is locked to O2. The upgrade was painless, but the first boot after the upgrade did take a long time. Just long enough to get you worried.

Here's the link

http://blog.wirelessground.com/htc-rezound/

I was about to replace my TB with a Bionic today but declined. I am now debating between the RAZR or this Rezound. Considering that the Rezound is 1.5GHz Dual-Core, that alone is worth it.

What about you guys?... At least those of you planning an upgrade. Yeah i know the Galaxy Nexus is supposed to come out soon(but no ETA yet)...

************

[EDIT]:

Actually, all 3 'HTC Rezound, Motorola Droid RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Nexus' are coming out November 10th.

w00t.. ?
[Thunderbolt General] Danmn1313:
I'm on the fence between the Rezound and Bionic (EDIT: WTF was I thinking Bionic no, I meant Razr lol). I'm also thinking about waiting until early next year because of the talk of quadcore Qualcomm chips.

In case some of you didn't see it.

[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Is there any word on if the Vi... I mean Rezound is going to do HDMI through something such as MHL? I'm really hoping that HTC has learned their lessons from the Thunderbolt battery debacle with the Rezound as to be honest I'm not too wowed over either the RAZR or Galaxy Nexus for various reasons.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
Full specs on the Rizzzound;

[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Sadly nothing on HDMI even through MHL. Hopefully something about that will come forth before the phone is released.
[Thunderbolt General] thepolishguy:
I have my Tbolt. It's my 2nd HTC device. I have decided I am not an HTC fan.

I am going to go for the Nexus. I had the Nexus S4G for 2 weeks but had to return bc Sprint was awful where I live. I loved the device though. I have wanted a Nexus device since the Nexus One. So I am pretty excited about it.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
The only problem i have with the new Nexus is that there's no microSD support. It's going to be available in a 16GB & 32GB. On top of that price is going to be $299.99 w/ contract and they haven't said yet but im pretty sure the $299 is going to be for the 16GB model.
[Thunderbolt General] th3_g00b:
just remember that dual cores arent everything....so far, everyone whos had the bionic hasnt been impressed at all with it.... then again...moto fails at everything.... my 2 cents.. :P
[Thunderbolt General] thepolishguy:
I could care less about dual core. I want the pure Google experience again. No ui overlays. I hate Sense. I came from the OG Droid & then 2 weeks with the Galaxy S4G. I want timely updates. Not buggy leaks, then buggy over the airs that get pulled bc the provider suddenly realizes, "Oh- you want voice mail to work?"

And I want my phone to make me awesome. My Thunderbolt can't do that for me. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
Yup this is the last HTC phone for me.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
The way i see it, with a dual core 1.2 / 1.5 , at least then you dont have to bother overclocking. On my Thunderbolt, unless i overclock, it gets laggy(especially multi-tasking). For instance if i use aDownloader & try and say, watch a video at the same time, the video can get jerky/go out of sync(but overclocking takes care of that). That and when you do overclock the battery drains even faster.

I have heard to that having a dual core cpu extends battery life. Just like how pop up headlights makes your car go faster.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
With that Rezound, you will be stuck on a single threaded OS for at least 4-6 months.

Gingerbread on dual core is so fail it isn't funny. Sure its faster, but its nothing like what it could be.
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Unless if the ROM scene pumps out some ICS ROMs for the Rezound. Given how many other phones have versions of Android that aren't out officially as of right now I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen.
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:
What?! No sd card support? Oh man I was completely sold on this phone. Now idk. I'll wait til the Razr and Nexus come out to get a hands on feel for it. Damn it sure is a deal breaker :/
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
RAZR = non-removable battery + bootloader locked

Nexus = no microSD support

i'm still debating myself and would like to see both phones in action first.
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:
I mean the non removable battery isn't such a big deal to me. The locked bootloader, don't they have a workout for this that works for like the D3 and Bionic?

As for the SD card, it's not like I take out my SD card much. I still use the SD card that came with my TB but I like the freedom of switching SD cards when one fills up. I guess it one has to have some hands on time with each device to decide. The Rezound, Razr and Galaxy Nexus all look like sweet devices tho
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
problem with the locked bootloader is that it may or may not get a "work around"... and depending on who's working it/how hard it is, it may happen in no time or take weeks, months, etc...

as for the non-removable battery, what if the phone freaks out and freezes up? there's supposed to be a reset option.. but there's the faint chance that the phone could lock up really bad and then you'd have to wait for the battery to drain.

and the sd card thing, i wouldn't mind getting the 32gb version of the Nexus(so long as it isn't crazy expensive) but a 16gb i'd get annoyed and have to regularly delete stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
There were be the same major ril issues we saw before with the Bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Ace42:
If I'm correct the Vigor+Beats = Amaze 4G-Beats

The above phones are basically OC'd to 1.5GHz, have more INT memory, and faster data rates.
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:
Ah I never thought about that part with lock ups. Yeah it would be interesting to see how that would work out
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
I am going to wait for HTC phones coming first quarter of 2012 I just read that Rezound will have 2 CPUs but....they will be the same one that the thunderbolt uses. So we are talking about 2 power hungry cores to work with instead of one. Qualcomm cores coming soon will use 75% less power and have so many more options. The Thunderbolt roms have my phone working really well and the developers will bring ICS to TB soon enough. I have an upgrade waiting but will not use on nexus for reason such as outdated CPUs and Samsung devices in general. I refuse to get a device just cause its a nexus and ICS. They should have made this device to be competitive with iPhone 5 or hell even 4S. The name along with Verizon will sell a lot of devices but I am waiting for the hardware coming next year that will sell the device, not just the name. With battery technology not really advancing and phones getting bigger but more thin the CPUs are going to need to pull less energy to save battery life. If anyone want to be a billionaire create a killer battery that can handle todays phones while not increasing the size of the case and last the whole day. You will sell unlimited amounts.

If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
rezound is 2 cpu's instead of just being full on "dual-core"?.. f that... that'd be worse battery then the Thunderbolt. i think i'm just going to keep my Thunderbolt as well as get a Galaxy Nexus next month. verizon is giving me a "special upgrade" right now but will be able to get another upgrade in february also. w0rd
