Yes, it is widespread, but if you are saying that it legal to install a microsoft product on a vm without a license, you are mistaken.

Even if you get a vmware product installed on a phone that came with an Android operating system, you would need a license to install a microsoft os on that phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gellenole:
I'm still waiting for crazy-master to legitimately tell me what he's smoking....

The technology is there -- I agree, but WHO, in their right minds, wants windows on their phone?! I dropped windows on my old HD2 the second I found out that we can wipe it out completely.

win7 and win7.5 for mobile phones is still and always will be a horrible platform. Android and IOS is not perfect, years better than winmo x.x
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Not sure where I gave you that impression, sorry if I did. No just as if you had another computer you would need another license. However even personal copies of Microsoft OS let you run it on one or two CPU, so you wouldn't need a separate license for this either.
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
How is it not illegal? Because Microsoft surely isn't going to sell you a license, so if you wan't to install this magical copy of Windows onto a VMWare for phones that doesn't exist, you're going to be breaking the law by pirating it
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
As explained above just like any other dual boot or virtualization you need a licensed copy for out to be legal
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
What? I'm looking @ my Vista and Windows 7 disks right now and there for 1 PC. M$ doesn't even sell WM6.5 licences anymore, you have to contact BSquare. Dude, its gunna be illegal lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I never said windows mobile, not once did I say that. You guys just didn't readthe in between threads lol. I have no idea about that specific OS. My post is just a general response saying you can virtualize any OS that VMware supports inside the Dalvik virtual machine. As for obtaining, installing, or working with VMware inside Android I know it can be done, but I have zero experience in it. I have only personally ever used VMware inside windows. Sorry for the confusion though.
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
And where can you get a licensed copy? Microsoft isn't selling any unless you're an OEM

And what phone chipset has hardware virtualization support? Because virtualizing with pure software is just silly
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
To my knowledge it isn't yet done. You are very unlikely to see the virtualization at hardware level for a long time, if ever on a phone. However I have two comments in response to that. First, you do realize that Android is already running in a virtual machine right? It doesn't yet do it from hardware support and Android runs great, I am speaking directly of the Dalvik virtual machine. Also, while we aren't likely to see what you're talking about (something similar to the hardware support via Intel and amd acceleration like vtt) but Android and VMware are talking about including acceleration by including support directly in Android kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
You are so mistaken on this. The only retail license that Microsoft sells for any of it's products that lets you install it on more than one machine (doesn't matter how many CPU's) is Microsoft Office Retail. I have been selling Microsoft Licensing for years and they have never sold an OS that you could install on more than one machine at the same time. Now for Virtual Machines, you can purchase a Volume License with Software Assurance for Windows 7 which will let you install it up to 4 times on the same hardware using VM technology.
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
1.) Android is NOT running in a virtual machine. Some of the apps are, which is completely different than an entire OS. There are also native apps, hence the NDK, which any app that needs performance was (or should be) built using

2.) It doesn't matter if support is in the kernel, it will still be software based, and painfully slow. Try running VMWare on an Intel CPU that doesn't support VT-d to see what I mean
[HTC EVO 3D] crazy-master:
why?

because i want to have windows on my phone?

as i told the reason is that i want to use GARMIN, i think that it is better than iGo, so thats the reason.

i dont like windows mobile(i have used 6.5) i am happy with Android, but Garmin is not working on it as i already told
[HTC EVO 3D] rustyshack3:
What is so special about Garmin? There are tons of navigation apps on Android. The thing I like most about navigation on Android is the ability to use custom TTS for smoother navigation voices. Google Navigation suits my needs perfectly except that it wont highlight your path in navigation mode to reflect the traffic volume. It would also be nice to support multiple destinations along one trip. I am sure that there are other apps that support one or both of those, I just havent felt like hunting or buying. The question remains, what is so cool about Garmin?
[HTC EVO 3D] crazy-master:
i like it more than others

i am using iGo now, but i prefer the interface of Garmin and i think that it have better cards for Bulgaria

just i like it :)

and the other problem is that i use only GPS for locating, i dont have wifi or mobile network
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
The problem here is we are talking about two different things. A process virtual machine like Dalvik, and a virtual machine like what VMware creates, that runs things natively, instead of a bunch of binary translation. That is where virtualizing requires hardware support or you sacrifice performance. The Dalvik virtual machine though isn't actually one virtual machine, every process that runs inside Android runs inside its own vm. There is actually very little in Android that is done natively, only the stuff that needs direct communication with hardware peripherals of the device.

I see your point, but the VMware software I speak of isn't going to be running the same way you are thinking. Lookup VMware in the Android market, that's more what I am talking about. I think I have totally confused everyone and it is my fault. Everyone seems to assume I am speaking in terms of native virtualization. Current hardware just can't yet support that. Sorry for confusion
[HTC EVO 3D] EGOvoruhk:
The VMWare product on the Android Market isn't virtualizing anything at all. It's pretty much just RDP

So you want a phone that can RDP into what, other mobile phone OSes? That would require a ridiculous amount of bandwidth. You'd need the bandwidth that you get from a normal phone, and then you'd need overhead for both the slave and the master (VM) phones. You're also going to need a host, which you can't have, because nothing like that exists
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Ideally it would run natively, but I just can't see that happening right away. The current built solution is effectively similar to rdp, I think it best serves a systems or network administer that would need to be managing his virtual servers on the road. I swore I read about a solution that is somewhere in between running natively and running remotely. Maybe I was wrong?? :( let me look around, I swore I found it last week where you could have VMware running in Android.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotwired34:
While this is not necessarily an Epic question...I have been lurking in here for the last year or so, so I feel pretty comfortable with the Epic folks. I have been the goto guy for my family in regards to phone support and advice. In the past, I have always had a pretty good answer to "Which new phone should I get?"

Now, one of my family members wants an Android phone...one that is pretty fast and does "stuff" like internet, gps, apps, blah, blah, blah.

So what do you think? Would you recommend a 4G phone, knowing that Sprint is not going to be expanding the current 4G network? I know that they said current 4G phones will continue to be able to use the available 4G network, but if you live in an area without 4G...and they aren't expanding...???

Would you recommend waiting for the new 4G phones to come out? Are they 'around the corner' or years away?

What are your thoughts?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
New 4G phones with Sprint LTE won't be available to mid 2012. If you have WiMax in your area now then a current 4G phone from Sprint will serve them well. Otherwise it will be a bit of a wait.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy57wagon:
Depends on your location. My concern would be if sprint would be keeping the current data plans when they switch over to LTE or if they will increase the price and limit the usage. If you have WiMax available and it works well i would suggest getting a current 4g model, otherwise i would say get if a phone is needed now, get it second hand lock in the contract, then when LTE is avail use the discount to get one of the new lte phones.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
ok, i just did some reading about sprint's data network problem. it sounds from my understanding that, if they were to put a data cap, that it will be higher than all the other carriers and it would be for LTE. to answer your question, go ahead and get that android phone that you want. don't worry about will be in the next couple years or so, just worry about what is available now. you never know, you may win or you may lose. it's part of the data game.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbjem:
I think the $10 was so they could be the first to roll out sub-par 4G and then have some cash to scrap it and roll 4G again to compete with other carriers.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laird_Attwood:
My SGSII has developed an issue over night.

When I unplugged the charger this morning it stayed as being on charge and the Battery 100% symbol. It randomly flashed up as charging 3 times in a couple of seconds. It can be fine for anywhere between 5minutes and a few hours and then states on charge again.

I have taken the handset appart and can see no liquid damage and the solder on the micro usb port are all good (no dry joints etc) I gave it all a good clean down with IPA.

Since this morning it has done it several times but seems after the battery drops below 90% it no longer does it.

Any ideas on what to check next? known charging issue? possible battery issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Please clean your usb port on the phone using canned air or a dry brush. It's mostly a problem with the contacts short-circuiting!

Tried, also used IPA to make sure no residue is on the contacts.

It's strange it hasn't done it after the battery dropped below 90%. If it was a short it'd be doing it all the time.

Hello guys, I recently bought an Atrix 4G from UK. The problem is that when I connect it with USB cable with PC (Windows 7 32bit) the PC recognize that the phone is connected but nothing appears on the notification bar on the phone. First tried with original FW 2.2.2 orange, after that rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed CM7 but it is the same thing with it. I installed the latest USB drivers using motorola driver installing program from the official site, tried with other cable but nothing. RSD lite recognize it if this will help.. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:

Didn't find this function. Anyway the point is that the computer recognizes the phone but the phone does not show anything in the notification bar.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strballer:
I just solved the problem :

1 - Turn off the phone.

2 - Turn on while holding volume up (RSD protocol mode)

3 - Connect the phone with USB cable to the PC, wait for windows to install the drivers, and disconnect.

4 - Restart the phone, and before connecting to the PC type in the dial box #5.

5 - Connect it with the USB cable.

I saw this advice from other forum.

[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
Unfortunately I cannot search since there isn't a search forum button at the moment, so I am just going to throw out this topic/question and see if i can get some insight.

I am running the deodexed EI22 with nubernal (no rom's just rooted) and every time i am on a call the screen will turn back on randomly. And when it does of course my face is mashing buttons and usually hangs up or puts the person on hold or something. My only way around it is if i notice it light up to pull it away from my face wait a second and then pull it back in. Then it will turn off but it will light back up eventually. This is EXTREMELY annoying and problematic.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
