You're right about the wireless drivers being on the kernel. But as i said, CM's stock works great for me.

Not sure what you meant with those 7h of screen... I mentioned my usage, not the limit on how much would my battery last if i had the screen on all the time.

You are right about gameloft games. But there are 2 very simple solutions to that: just get it from android market's website or replace your build.prop with the one on this thread:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/33366-gameloft-games-not-showing-in-market/

I've seen a Touchwiz 4.5 app on the app section. Not sure specifically about TW3. I used 4.5 once on some other rom and liked it very much. But still not good enough for me to change from Go luncher and all those Go widgets though.

About hardware accelerated stuff, glad you found whatever works for you, the whole point of my answer wasn't proving you wrong, just telling people that other people have experienced differently in most of those points you were complaining.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I've kept a rough glance on the apps added to the marketplace over the last month and would estimate that around 2,000 to 3,000 apps are added per month. If this is correct, we can expect to see around 30,000 to 40,000 apps each year. The number of apps added since the beginning last November is up to 39,000. That's 3,250 per month.

If this rate continues as is, in 5 years there will be 200,000. Comparing to the AppStore, which has over 500,000 in the last 3 years. That's roughly 170,000 per year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
And how many are books? A lot of times i see hundreds of books that are flooding the new section in marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It's true that there are a lot of "useless" apps and ebooks in the WP Marketplace, but as an overall percentage of the total it doesn't seem to be any better or worse than in the iOS or Android markets.

As for the rate of growth, it is accelerating a bit, and looks like it will see around 4500 new apps for November when the month is tallied out. However, as Marty noted, that is still a fair bit behind the rate of growth of "the other guys".

I wonder how much of that difference is due to the (currently) smaller market, and how much of it is due to APIs that are still unavailable to developers on WP, but are available on other platforms. 2012 will be an interesting bellwether for the future of the WP Marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
The growth of the iPhone and Android app stores has been FAR from linear, I don't expect this to be the case for Windows Phone either. Either it'll pick up or it'll die off :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's pretty much what I'm thinking too. I wish I had figures for each month over the last year. It would give me an idea about overall growth and what can be realistically expected over the coming year. But just guessing I'd say it will double its performance due to higher visibility and Mango as well as Nokia. It might even come close to tripling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Now only if they actually supported the apps. Some kind of support please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Of the apps on my phones, IGN is the only one that really needs support and doesn't get it. I see about the same amount of updating on my WP7 phones as I saw with Android and see with iOS.

One thing I would really love to see in the marketplace is proper categorization of apps and games. The games have their "All" and "new" categories and are also listed in the Apps categories. But the Apps are not listed in any of the games categories. Games being in the Apps category is annoying because when I want to see what's new, I have to wade through a bunch of games.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That is true, and I agree that growth in the WP Marketplace will likely pick up next year, but looking at the following data suggests that the growth of the the WP Marketplace through October has been fairly linear.

From windowsphoneapplist.com:

Whereas the growth of the iOS App Store was slightly more nonlinear during its first year.

Data from Wikipedia:

(the Wikipedia chart includes additional timeline data, but I cropped it out for clarity)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Yeah, only Apps to receive a update on my phone were HTC Apps. Pulse just got a update and it borked up the live tile and now when I click on it , it opens random articles.

Pissed at the app that I have been raving about, I foolishly purchased Fuse. Someone on here mentioned it to me. I purchased it and its the EXACT same app as Pulse. Same laggy interface, same live tile, only difference Fuse has themes and cost $1.29.

Why can't I upload a pic from this phone? I can't even use the photobucket app to copy a link, wtf!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I could have told you that. Sorry I didn't. Anyway, News360 seems to be even better than the Android version. No live tile, though.

Does ATT S II have NFC?

If no, can I get NFC if I use CM7 or after ICS update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Long answer: yes, short answer: no.

Technically the hardware is present. But, on the stock ROM it's been disabled. Some of the stock based ROMs added back limited functionality. But the functionality is to read certain tags. Google Wallet type of functionality is still far away.

Its rumored that att may add the support later, but for their own Isis payment system, not Google wallet.

[LG Revolution] Cheasy123:
Has anyone else heard of this problem? Sometimes when I receive a text message the phone will receive the message and start vibrating, at which point the screen goes black and all buttons become unresponsive. The phone will continue to vibrate for about ten seconds before rebooting. It doesn't do it every time, and it only does it for text messages, and only when the phone is set to vibrate upon receiving a text message.

I'm running GingerVolt 1.3 and had the same issue on 1.2 and 1.1. I am not sure if it did the same thing on the stock rom. I have wiped data/factory reset and that does not seem to fix it. I am also using Handcent SMS, if that could have anything to do with it.

Any information about this is greatly appreciated!
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
I have had it happen once that was on gingervolt 1.2 also on vibrate mode and also using handcent.
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
Never had it happen on Revolt or Gingervolt. Using the stock messaging app.
[LG Revolution] gigem01:
I've had it happen a couple times recently. Once yesterday and once this morning. Both times I was in Vibrate Only mode. I was not receiving texts at the time, but it could have been triggered by email alerts or phone calls. I noticed the phone buzzing for ten seconds, the screen was unresposive and the LED indicator was blue. Then it showed the LG screen with a small buzz and loads up fine.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I had it happen when using Exchange once - The phone was hot to begin with, so I knew something was wrong. I received the Exchange e-mail notification, pulled down the notification bar, clicked and bam - reboot.
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
I'm glad to hear it's not just me. This has been happening since I got my Revo, on both my original and warranty replacement.

I've never used stock long enough to know if it occurred on any of them.

But for me the phone doesn't reboot after 10 seconds, it just keeps vibrating like a prank sex toy from hell until I remove the battery.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
Same here. I'm not even sure if I'm in vibrate mode only or not, but it does freak me out a bit when it happens and have to peel off the case to get to the battery, I'm always afraid its going to go all Mission Impossible on me and blow up!
[LG Revolution] revile:
See if the same behavior is observed when vibrate is turned off. There could be an issue with your haptic engine causing it to crash and this would help narrow it down.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Only happens on vibration for me, also. But I have it on vibrate ~90% of the time so I don't know if this qualifies as proof to that fact :-P

[LG Revolution] Cheasy123:
It has never happened to me when the phone was set to not vibrate. I did a test and set it to not vibrate only when I received a text. It seemed to have no problems until I got an email yesterday and bam. Reboot.

[HTC EVO 3D] Mephsito:
Hey guys and gals,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me.

I tried to flash a couple different roms due to when I flashed eternity nightly from 2 days ago.

After which my 4G/WIFI/Hotspot no longer worked.

I have done a full wipe/superwipe and nothing happened.

Anyone know anything that might help or any info that you might need to help me.

Thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] Mephsito:
Thank you man i did some light searches but nothing came up.

Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
I'm currently running LeeDroid v2 rom on my EVO 3D, and i've downloaded a wallpaper from the HTC Hub application called "Abstract_02_5" which i like a alot.

But i thought it could be cool to edit it a bit, and maybe add some text etc.

I've tried googl'ing and using the search button here on XDA, to some help, but not enough.

I've tried checking the rosie.apk, framework-res.apk, i've tried searching the SD card (both from my computer, and by using RootExplorer and ASTRO) for the file name.

I've also done a complete phone search by using RootExplorer, but i've been unable to find the location of this wallpaper.

Could anyone help me extract it? And maybe also how to put it back after i edited it? (if its complicated that is :P)

- Moon
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
So you've looked in the apk files using an archive app like 7z, winrar or winzip?

Can you see a preview of it in HTC Hub? If so take a screenshot of it and put it on your monitor. Then try using Google Goggles to track it down online.

I don't use a Sense rom so I can't try HTC Hub and rarely used it to remember much about it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonbloom:
Yes, i looked through the .apk files using WinRar.

Ye i can see it in HTC Hub, and also have it as my actual wallpaper at the moment, didn't even think of google goggles, thanks for the tip (:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can also use Wallpaper Set and Save to save the wallpaper once it's set. The file is most likely saved in /data/data/packagenameofhtchub on your internal memory if it doesn't save to your SD card. If it saves to your SD, try the /data and /android/data folders on your SD.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kekoh:
Today I noticed my 3G speed has taken a huge hit. I am getting numbers that are absolutely terrible. I used to be able to stream YT videos with very little delay, load web pages fairly quick, etc. My 3g used to pull close to 1000kbps, sometimes more. I have been using WiFi alot over the past few weeks so I havent noticed this issue until now.

It seems like its only an issue with the download speed, upload seems fine. I was thinking about updating to the latest radios but there were people having issues after flashing them so I put those off. Should I do that anyways?

Is there anything else I can do to improve these speeds? I'm not sure what happened but my 3g download was never this bad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kekoh:
I flashed the latest radios. It is doing slightly better (about 50-100kbs more). This is still very much slower than what it used to be able to pull. The market feels like its crawling for me.

Besides flashing radios, is there anything else I can do?

I use Pandora a lot too (not with wifi) and do not have issues with it stopping. One thing I have noticed though with the sound, it "clicks" a lot like maybe the sound is clipping. It does it both through the 3.5mm jack (going to car stereo or headphones) and through my bluetooth headphones.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
it started to happen to me last week, i got pandora one and the clipping never came back, maybe it was the streaming

I dont have this issue either. Have you gone into the pandora settings and tried to change the quality of the stream? I do pay for pandora, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WickR1:
I have the same problem with mine. It'll stay on if I leave the screen on, but as soon the screen turns off, it stops working after that song. I'll unlock it and it will either say that's it's buffering, or that it can't find a connection. I'll take a screen shot in a sec while I test it again. This happens when I'm on 4G with wifi turned off. I haven't tried it connected to my home wifi yet.

This is what happens after the first song. BTW, I'm on a Samsung Skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
this is the Vivid section, you might have better luck in the SkyRocket section.

but maybe the problem you guys are seeing is when utilizing juice defender or power saver feature of the phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WickR1:
I understand that, but figured it might be an Android thing.

I figured out what my issue was, and it was the battery saver I was using (2X Battery). I uninstalled that, and it worked.

Okay so xperia play its pretty much useless now? I doubt that..

Because xplay now had its own native (reversed engineered) ps1 player, which only available on xplay, and it has an analogue pad, which is also only available on xplay..

yeah saw this on engaget.

i thinks its a good idea.

but a bigger battery in the pad and a retractable micro usb wired connection as well .

so it can charge the phone instead of draining it would be better.

probably get one anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
Weird. Not sure if it is the rom or what but if I power off the phone, and it shuts down, than plug it into the charger while it is off, the phone powers up. Is this normal?

Also if I power-off from the menu while it is plugged in to the charger it just restarts.

I'm trying to do some tests on charging current draw with the phone powered off vs. powered on but can't because it keeps starting up.

Anyone else notice this or do I need to go back to stock?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] symphony.op:
Hi,

If you use other launcher that the TwLauncher (eg. LauncherPro or adwLauncher)

and you have deleted the TwLauncher application from /system/app,

when you make a large click on home button and the recent tasks list appears,

the phone reboots if you click the "jobs manager" button.

For prevent this, you can make a modification in framework-res.apk file,

in order to hide the job manager button.

the modifications are in the res/layout/recent_apps_dialog.xml and are:

to use it, decompile framework-res.apk with apkManager,

modify the related file, recompile and push the new compiled xml file

into the original framework-res, then copy the framework-res.apk into

the phone with adb.

Enjoy!

Odd. After removing the TW launcher the Jobs Manager button works just fine over here. Never had any problem with it, with whatever 3rd party Launcher I've tried.

Exactly my point, and something I try and explain in the article. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
Is that a response to the OP...he doesn't claim that they do. article even states "the question that should come into your mind is, which camera has better optics, not which camera has more Megapixels."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Which city are the pictures from?

Nearly forgot it, thanks for the good comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Good work!

Looks like the S2 gives more vibrant pictures but a bit unrealistic, seems it has more contrast too. Probably software related.

I think the Galaxy Nexus definitely focuses better from those shots (especially in macro mode) but perhaps isn't as good in low light, definitely more noisy and a bit more detail from the S2. Looks like some of that reason is that Nexus is choosing a higher ISO rating than the S2 in low light, meaning you can see more at the expense of noise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Well one thing is clear, the SG II has a better camera (apart from night time shots).

Disappointing but oh well, I just wish my damn GN would turn up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
The galaxy s2 DO take panoramic pics out of the box. Please update your conclusion.

Based on the pics, my OPINION is that the galaxy s2 takes better pics in most conditions. However come night time and low light, the galaxy nexus takes better pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] f1seb:
When the photos are viewed at the max size you can see that the SG2 has the much better camera. It's not even close, fantastic pics by the way op. Makes it extremely easy to see which phone takes better photos. That said the nexus would still be my choice since I own a DSLR and don't care for taking photos with my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audi09:
The photo of the fruits are day and night, complete difference on GSII. The majority of the pics looked better on GSII.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
No it was a statement that everyone needs drilled into them.

I looked at the article on my phone but it didnt format the names properly so I don't know which column was which phone.

I would have said the left hand column took the better photos purely because they had more colour

EDIT: Looks like the GSII wins. Nothing a bit of photoshop cant fix if your that bothered though lol
