It was an example, but I like how you said it with confidence. Almost as if that response was perfect, an all inclusive way to overturn everything I had previously said. Fortunately for everyone with half a brain, we realized it wasn't. And it does not in any way prove what I said wrong. An audiophile would never sacrifice audio hardware components for better build quality, whatever that even means.

So let me get this straight. You are an audiophile. You live[/] for music. And you love the WP7 app, explaining that it will be unrivaled once better hardware is implemented.

Now, let me explain something to you. A real audiophile doesn't care about how pretty the music app is, they care about about the quality of sound. And that comes directly from the hardware used. So while you say the app looks good and the icing on the cake would adding hardware, a real audiophile would start with the hardware.

And that, my good sir, is why you are not an audiophile. Nice try though. We will chalk that up to more z33 bull****. ;)

See, thing is, Symbian does not need dual-cores and yada yada to run well. That's the thing... Android is just either isn't optimised yet or is very resource hungry.

Meego is kick-ass and if you look back, Android is pretty much a rip-off of it. Too bad Nokia dropped it due to its new CEO's interests...

Well, camera is kick-ass IMO. Way better than anything else I've seen, especially pics in the dark. No problems with screen, but that depends on the environment. I've managed to destroy Galaxy's screen once with... bits of oyster shell on my fingers.

As for airplane mode, super simple: press power, select "Offline".

Improved - yes, but I'm yet to see Android device that works for almost three days with my regular use on one charge. For some people this is not important, but for me it is as at times I'm away from a charger for 24+ hours.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herzzreh:
No way! Nokia's software may suck donkey balls, but please keep the damn hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herzzreh:
App catalogue is a vague argument. I get all nearly same functionality on Symbian as I had on Android. The only app I truly miss is Springpad.

Once I read an article that talked about how early smartphones went from being a truly converged devices that did replace many gadgets without great compromises to smartphone = apps, despite some of the truly crappy stuff that was put out.

... Ever heard of PowerAmp? That's the most popular one on android and it's EQ capabilities are endless. You are an audiophile, really? What headphones do you have? What IEM's (do you even know what IEM means without looking it up)? Hardware comes first. If you were an audiphile you'd think that way. If you were an audiophile and hated android/iOS then you would have to buy a seperate portable source for music playing because no WP7 offers good sound quality. Real audiophiles have ugly as hell thick portable DAPs but guess what? It doesn't matter, because sound comes first. They may have ugly big headphones but guess what? Sound comes first, not looks. You sound like the type of guy that would buy Beats... noob :p don't even try to act like you're an audiophile.

I just love comments like this that add zero to the discussion... Care to elaborate why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z33dev33l:
and the issue with your argument is that this has become a discussion on operating systems. Pointing out that one series of phones at one point had a certain hardware component that made them better does nothing for the other 400 android devices. A logical argument would have been about the media codecs supported.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

My concerns aren't strictly hardware. Android has yet to offer an alternative that compensates my needs software-wise regardless of customization, nor have I enjoyed the build quality of an android device before.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Alas, I don't do headphones as I am often at home, at my computer at work, or in my car. I think I may have some Bose something or another laying around but I prefer the full effect of music livening up an tea rather than playing strictly in my head. No logical person would buy beats, they sound like sup'd up WalMart headphones and to support someone who's aided in the destruction of actual music might bring me physical pain.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crawlgsx:
Terrible OS's - I haven't cared for a single one, Symbian (IMO) is garbage. Windows Mobile (now) is boring, and an OS I would give to my hip grandmother maybe out of simplicity. It's neat, functional, but terribly boring and lacking in any customization. Tiles are hideous and I want nothing to do with them.

Shape - they have just made some plain (again IMO) ugly phones. the newest one, N800 or whatever, the new Windows one, does look nice, I will give it that.

Power - They have lacked in power for at least the last 1-2 years, maybe more. The new one's appear to be caught up-ish, but still nothing impressive.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] upichie:
To summarize: no one piece of hardware, unless it is present in every single Android device, can be used as a basis for arguing that Android is better. That's great and all, but Android is largely about the hardware. So just because they sell cheaper phones—which, realistically, everyone should—we are forced to nullify every cutting-edge piece of hardware present in higher-end models? By that logic, any company that stops selling cheap phones becomes the winner of any argument. I feel that is inherently flawed. I feel you are inherently flawed. :p

Again, to summarize:

z33: I'm an audiophile. WP7 music rocks my socks.

Me: I beg to differ. There are Android devices that, all things included, blow away any and all WP7 devices in regards to audio.

z33: Yes, but the WP7 music app is pretty.

Me: You are not an audiophile. An audiophile would care about the quality, not the pretty colours—and that means the hardware.

z33: But there's so many Android phones, so when you take the average of all of them, I'm sure they're not the best out of all devices.

Me: Why would you take the average of—

z33: Because this has become a discussion about operating systems.

Me: Weren't we talking about—

z33: And since we're comparing pretty colours, WP7 wins.

Me: ... *walks away slowly*

:rolleyes::p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z33dev33l:
You're clearly trying to compensate your own flaws by placing them on me. No one piece of hardware can be used as a basis and for that reason we base the points on the overall OSes sound capabilities which is something else you very rightly could have one had you argued the lack of codec support, the general lack of an equalizer, or many other points. Aside from the outstanding UI and zunepass, wp7 offers nothing outstanding as far as music goes. The quality is certainly listenable but not riveting. I do appreciate the bout of immaturity, though you should redirect such outstanding playwriting to another venue. Stephanie Meyer made it, right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lowandbehold:
Are you still not getting the point? No one was talking about OS's. Please, what does UI and some app have to do with sound quality??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z33dev33l:
when a company offers OS exclusivity it is as valid as any other oem vs oem point

Actually, that's the first post I've typed from my POS gateway in about two weeks. This being the second. Usually I'm on my windows 8 tab or WP7 device. This compy has crapped out, the for some reason eats much more memory than it should when reading or writing a disc. I could probably fix it, but I don't use it enough to care.

Apparently I get logged out of the forum every time I quick reply. Man, those few times that I do have to charge my tablet and phone grow very annoying. You would think that ould an issue in the browser cache but no. I've had to retype like 8 things in this post because it's skipping 2-3 letters at a time.

I like android because of the freedom it allows me, I would choose an open source phone OS over a closed source brand any day. I personally don't need my phone (a Samsung fascinate) for anything important, but if you did I can understand why you'd want smoothness and build quality.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] canadariot2312:
Oh god, what is this thread even about?! I see fanboys from both sides of the fence and it makes me sick.

Glad you like the N8. It is like a camera that makes calls. That camera is unbelievable and would rival some point and shoot cameras these days. Xenon flash is defiantly better than dual led flash. I kind of wish that it had optical zoom. Digital zoom is crap and shouldn't ever be used unless you like blowing up the pixels on pictures. I would totally get the N8, but I already have a Nikon camera and I already have enough cellphones. Don't need another backup phone.

Android is cool, I got an Android figurine not too long ago. I have a Nexus One as a back up phone and it is still pretty good, kind of bummed out it won't get ICS, but I honestly don't care at this point.

Prior to the Atrix, I had Samsung Captivate and I really liked the feature in the contacts where I could swipe left to right to dial that contact, or right to left to send them a text. I have only found one app so far to mimic this (swipe contacts), and it's aesthetically very poor, although I suppose the function is there. Does anyone know of a more attractive way to accomplish this? Thanks.

just got my screen protector, but failed to get it in without a bunch of hairs or bubbles underneath. what tips do you guys have for getting it on there without fail? Can I rinse it and hang it dry then try again? Or should I just buy a new one? pics/videos welcome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VICosPhi:
1. Wash your hands with soap

2. Turn off fan/AC

3. Use handheld water sprinkler(for plants) to sprinkle water in the area you are going to use for putting on the protector

4. Have some cello tape on the side to get rid of hair dust etc. from the edges underneath the protector
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wondercoolguy:
even better than that go to your local Tmobile store and they will put it on. My wife and I both have SGS2 phones and you can't really tell the screen protectors are on. The employees burned through a pack because they screwed up the first attempt on both phones. :-) The price was 14.95 (pack of 2) but just the fact they put it on for you is enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Thanks guys. I'll be sure to hit thanks. I haven't tried the first method yet because I've been busy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sic_lic1o1:
this is what i do,

apply the screen protetor after you take a hot shower or turn on hot water while applying the screen protector (steam will get rid of most of the dust). Use a credit card to smooth out all the air bubbles. Don't worry about the dust too much. After you got all the bubbles out then use

cello tape on the side to get rid of hair dust etc. from the edges underneath the protector.

make sure the area is free of dirt. Just blow off the dirt first before applying the screen protector
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
I use this method!! it works everytime
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
I will try this next time. I'm a perfectionist and I just kept removing it and therefore more and more dust. The last time the store rep did a good job, plus if they,mess up they can burn through more sp.

in matter of fact i just had them do mine this morning and he was a perfectionist and he did a great job!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Driftin350:
Use air duster to get everything off of the screen. Once the screen is completely clean without any dust peel the plastic from the screen protector revealing the adhesive. Line up the screen protector at the top of the phone, use a credit card covered with a cloth and slide down from the top of the screen potector to the bottom. Should be perfect without any bubbles
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lakeshow423:
Do yourself a favor and get a phantomskin "wet" install screen protector. I've been using them on all my phones and get the zagg protection without orangepeel.just follow the instructions on soapy water and lay it on the phone straight. Best screen protectors IMHO plus it's buy one get one free. They are $10 but use "fall30" code for 30% off. $6.95 shipped to your door. Ill post pics when mines come in this week.

[Captivate General] Lejolasho:
Hi.

I received my captivate today.

I updated to 2.3.4, but could not unlock, also, that was with errors.

Then i tried AIO 3 Button Fix (in pit selected pit.pit and in pda pda.tar) then start.

Update has been completed and my Captivate turned off.

Now it doesn't turn on, it is on battery and plugged in, but has no reaction.

Is there any solution? I am very worried... :(

Read read read... your phone its now hard bricked... look for unbrickable mod in development section
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it sounds like you hard bricked your phone.

Here's why: you flashed 2.3.4, which is Gingerbread. This loaded the Gingerbread bootloaders onto your phone.

You then flashed the 3-button fix. Which flashed 1/2 of the Froyo bootloaders onto your phone.

Your phone now can't understand how to boot up with a hybrid of Froyo and Gingerbread bootloaders. This means you will need to either get JTAG service or apply the Unbrickable Mod.
[Captivate General] Lejolasho:
I was waiting for my phone for 3 weeks... i can afford myself neither of them, as i live in Georgia (Republic Of) and can't send my phone anywhere.

is this tutorial for hard brick phones?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
The closest thing to a tutorial that a user can do to their phone is the Unbrickable Mod. It's a hardware modification that puts the phone into a development mode, that then allows the bootloaders to be rewritten to the phone.

In terms of cost, it's relatively inexpensive - you'll just need a soldering iron, some relay wire, and steady hands. Or, if you have an electronics store near you, you could see if they would be able to do it for you.

Beyond that, it depends how you got your phone. If you bought it from a retailer, and not Ebay, you could try and see if you can take it back. If you got it on Ebay, your options are limited to JTAG or Unbrickable Mod.

Ok... it's a good thing I have Titanium Backup. I ran into the problem before so I backed up all my google services. With a little trial and error...meaning, I had to flash CM7 a few times to get the backup sequence right... not all google services can be used on CM7... I managed to fix this huge whole in CM7.

I installed:

Setup Wizard 1.3 (not included in CM7)

google backup sync (not included in CM7)

Android Market (not included in CM7)

It works so far.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
I think the best place to start would be to re-flash Gapps, or if that doesn't work, try a data wipe and repeat the initial setup process. I have flashed CM7 MANY times(too many to count) and had all manner of problems getting it to run when we were still on unofficial releases but have not had any problems since the stable release. Let me know what ends up working for you.

Make sure your flashing gaaps in the right recovery. I flashed it in the wrong one and it didn't stick, so I used the power button, reboot into recovery and flashed it that way ans it worked.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
Thanks guys.

I flashed originally in cwm-recovery-ALL.tar which is 2.5.7.1 I think. Orange. It's very stable and works great... but when CM7 boots up, and I go back into recovery... it's the recovery that comes with CM7 which is 5.0.2.6 Blue.

All the flashing seemed to work. I just had a hell of a time getting the Titanium Backup sequence installs on the google services that I need to get the accounts working and synced.

Thank God for Titanium backup.

I don't understand fully why CM7 won't include the google account setup wizard. Someone told me it's illegal? So what... rooting the phone voids all warrantees anyway.

Whatever. I got it working. There are still a few bugs I need to log and report, but so far... I'm finally running CM7 at 1400SetCPU.
