[Q] DUAL BOOT??? Q/A's

I am a definite fan of both WP7 and Android both for their social integration and the development and customization abilities. So ive heard alot of poeple talking about the dual boot and most are basically trash talking the idea. But me on the other hand as well as many other poeple would agree that any phone whether it may be WP7 or android, anybody with enough knowledge to be able to unlock and root both would love to be able to enjoy what they want when they want. I mean the soul purpose of development no matter what phone or OS is the ability to push this technology to its limits,going as far as our hardware will go and letting people have what really isnt meant to be, as far as us as cutomers with any service and the limitations they come with. And i know this idea would have many supporters who would love to donate in hopes of one day having the best of both worlds. i have the samsung focus and ive done alot of research on this phone and anybody can look it up that this phone is basiclly the same identical phone as the samsung google nexus s, the only real difference is the OS capabilities that you get with android on the nexus. ive compared both and well hardware, camera mp's and capabilities (well the nexus doesnt have face detection), screen res, and even screen size is the same even made with the same type of glass(gorilla that is at least confirmed by samsung via twitter). My question, if the phone is essentially the same,would it be possible to dual boot the nexus stock 2.3 rom or even any custom that the nexus has or had and maybe even ice cream sandwich like i know the nexus will soon have or if not already have?. But im also keepin in mind that those roms would have to be customized and remade to work around the focuses WP7.5 OS with dual boot.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
I like both as well, but the only way you can do this is to buy an HTC hd2.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bevoc:
can you provide at least a proof before you claim that both device are identical? getting spec sheet from the internet is not the same as getting the tech sheet from manufacturers.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmb1903:
of course i know there not completly identical since they were built for 2 totally different operating systems, well i mean they dont have the same brand name of processor but regardless there still 1gz, based on the specs ive seen same phone released one month after eachother just different housing and a curved screen. But i have looked at a bunch of tech review sites and im very fimiliar with custom roms and the rooting process of android as ive done many but i know very little about WP7 besides the fact that i forced the mango update via zune. i mean i know completly how to use the focus,but just not in the extent of chevron,interpop or in depth dev.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmb1903:
and why hd2, is there something in particular about that device or is it just the one that the only dual boot available and was designed for. the focus is a newer phone with a newer OS. Im guessing another dual boot would have to be developed because there 2 different phones or is it an HTC thing and the sense UI mixed with win mobile that only allows that certain dual boot capability.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aminy23:
The Focus and Nexus aren't the same

The HD2 is a powerful device. The HD7 is a slight redesign of it. The Evo 4G and Inspire 4G are a very slight redesign of it. I think the HD2 also had an unlocked boot loader, so it can be hacked to run nearly any OS (Android, MeeGo, Ubuntu, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, and I even saw one with Windows 95)

CPU:

Focus: 1.0 GHZ Single Core

HD2: 1.0 GHZ Single Core

Nexus: 1.2 GHZ Dual Core

Display:

Focus: WVGA (800x480) Super Amoled

HD2: WVGA (800x480) TFT LCD

Nexus: 720P (1280x720) Super Amoled

Screen Size:

Focus: 4.0"

HD2: 4.3"

Nexus: 4.65"

Front Camera:

Focus: None

HD2: None

Nexus: 1.3mp

RAM:

Focus: 512MB

HD2: 448MB

Nexus: 1024MB

They are definitely not the same phone. Windows Phone only supports WVGA, so it won't even work properly on the Nexus. Windows Phone doesn't even support dual core processors, so if it did work, it would be slow (1 core, 600mhz). The HD2 is more similiar to the Focus then the Nexus is.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bevoc:
answer

YES. if and only if the phones have

1. identical hardware 100% identical hardware down to the pcb, hardware keys camera models, (delimited by availability of driver)

2. and program loader (to write the os to the internal storage) is available for both os,

3. as well as someone actually splices the bootloaders (both bootloadrs for both os - something like magloader)

4. and both filesystem can exist in a single internal disc and accessed by both OS

5. and drivers for both OS's are readily available.

last but not least

6. someone (with the capacity to understand in manufacturing and programming a consumer device with full know-how in driver writing, coding, file system access bla bla bla owns a jtag writer) actually wants to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
hd2 was already windows mobile, and from what I've heard someone happened to get a test release of wp7 so that kind of fell into their lap.

Android is open source, so if there is enough interest it can be done, though with the hd2 there was a lot more to the story...

It is truly a one of a kind device, chances are you won't see any other dual booting phones for wp7 and android

so i searched around and i couldn't find and answer for this. So heres the scenario, I decided to try google voice and i didn't like it so i went to google and turned it off. Since then my voicemail when i call it i get a busy tone and when people call it says something about i don't have voicemail. I checked my settings and i do have voicemail set to carrier. any suggestions or help would be great

Hey guys

I have my note for around 3 weeks now. I experience the purple screen twice.

so basically out of no where, the screen will turn really purple like. but the problem is fixed after i restart the phone.

not super concern about it, but just want to know if this is a bad sign that the phone will die on me?

thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Ive had this experience on my Galaxy S1 and S2 I get a quick flash of either green or red color then everything is back to normal.. happend once or twice on my Galaxy S1 for owning it for a year and maybe more than 3 times on the S2 for 3 months.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
It's a software bug, and i guess it'll get patched sooner or later by Samsung, but no i do not have any problems with the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metus666:
I've had it once :) Was more blueish tho. Just turned the screen off and on again (IT Crowd ;)) and it worked just fine after (I freaked out at the time tho).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGSunny12:
Only once. Screen turned blueish upon waking up of device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadavar:
Yes, it happened to me too. Turned blueish when turned on but returned to original when hitting the power button. Thank god it's a software bug rather than hardware.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmr2t:
Scenario:

You have a new, working Atrix that will be returned to the factory when I receive my replacement within the next few day's....

Do you

A) Try and experiment as much as you can on it, knowing you will have a replacement device here soon and flash like crazy?

B) Don't waste the time?

C) Just keep doing more research until my next Atrix comes in, then happily flash?

Cliff notes:

I had a CM7 Atrix (Ba2Tf) Up until last week.. Went in to Att and exchanged it for a newly operating unit because my FP scanner was not working.. ((IT was not working even before the CM7 ;) so don't try to clown... )) LOL

Anyways, what would you do? Im kinda bored ATM.. but don't know if ATT will deny the unit through the mail since it would be technically"Unlocked" :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifalldownalot:

Hi

I download some 3D movies (with left/right screen showing in laptop) with .wma file type.

However, the optimus 3D cannot detect it is 3D and even I use 3D function the phone just make it 3D but left/right screen just playing the same time

anyway to tell the phone it is 3D source?

thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Are you sure they are .wma? WMA files are meant to be audio only (Windows Media Audio) so shouldn't have video and therefore would not play in 3D if they were another format that had simply been mislabelled. Or do you mean wmv and it was a typo?

There are various things you can try.

It is possible it is an mp4 file and that the header is simply corrupted. If the video file is an mpeg 4 but for some reason not being correctly recognised you can patch the header (takes a few seconds on a pc) using the free software called Mp4Cam to Avi (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...ze3QCA&usg=AFQjCNEMl4yuInKgQTIOVIsqx5px2E4MJg) which will patch the header to make it a fully compliant mpeg 4 video file.

You can transcode the file using free software like Super (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...nPCWCQ&usg=AFQjCNFJQYHaPCRa5vQsYmSTXhTLw5x4gA). This will make it another format instead (mpeg 4 is a good option if your file is in an incompatible format).

EDIT: Assuming the phone is in landscape mode (the only mode 3D videos will play as 3D in) when the videos play if you touch the screen you see a button say 2D. Click that to make it 3D but if the button does not work or does not appear try restarting your phone and when it has restarted they may play.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] abbcc:
Thanks! That is wmv.

I figure out a way to combine the left/right screen into one. it is unexpectedly easy just play the files (whatever video) in 3D mode, then choose the option by the left key, then I can choose the left/right combine in the screen (either L/R, R/L, top/down or as a whole combination)

thanks!
[LG Optimus 3D] bgouvea:
I'm trying to figure out how to combine the screens.

Now working. Just need to reset the phone after download 3d movies.

Tkx.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
If you download the free app called "rescan media" from the android market you shouldn't need to restart phone. What this does is tell O3D you added new files and then makes it check them and add them to the galleries which is also what happens when you restart the phone or unmount the sd card.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] bgouvea:
Nice one... Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] bilalbinrais:
3d video?

Im not getting how to, plz explain.

I am trying to play an mkv fime, it plays side by side on pc but same on O3D. not 3d
[LG Optimus 3D] Evil Slayer:
play the side by side movie on the stock lg player...press the 3D button...then press the menu button twice and there's an option called"3D formatter"press it then you get a bunch of viewing options...choose the first option then press ok...that should do it

hope this helps

[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
So now that a substantial amount of people are on Verizon's LTE network, are people's data speeds slowing down? In August, when I got my Charge, I was getting between 15mbps to 20mbps (speedtest.net) on LTE in the Madison, WI and Milwaukee, WI areas. I just ran a few tests today and got speeds between 5mbps and 7mbps. I know this barely affects day-to-day usage (unless you download large files and torrent like I do), but I am curious as to everybody else's speeds.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Mine have slowed down slightly, but not significantly. I do notice that I will get vastly different speed-test results based on what server I'm connecting too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
my 3g plummeted to the ground my 4g whitch is 15 miles north of me i am in utah btw is down roughly between 12-14 megs a few days i saw about 16-18 but not a huge difference for me but the 3g is killing me my sprint 3g was faster whitch i thought would not be the case...
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
What are you doing torrenting on LTE? Where's your home Internet connection?

I use my LTE connection but I barely use 3 GB a month. Most of the time I'm under 2 GBs.

Damn... no wonder why Verizon implemented data usage caps and gone away from Unlimited Data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I live in a college dorm where if you are caught doing something illegal on the internet they take away all your computer access and ability to use the schools wifi across campus. I would rather not take that risk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I'm seeing slowdowns, but they aren't consistent. Never below 5Mbps, but normally, I'm still 12-15.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
How about not doing anything illegal?

You know that the MPAA/RIAA are on their witch hunts. It's not if, but when, they will find you and believe you me, they will find you and you better have your lawyer ready.

NetFlix? Amazon.com Music Store? Android Market? All of which allows you to consume your media in a legal way without the constant threat of a DMCA notice.

Thanks a lot, you ruined it for the rest of us who liked Unlimited Data from Verizon. Now, because of people like you we have to endure capped data plans and the ever possible chance that they will take it away from even those who have the Unlimited Data plan. Thanks a lot, at least I now know the kind of people to blame for this crap.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Psst: There are legal uses for bittorrent.
[Verizon Droid Charge] terrierl:
Not for nothing, but for the amount of money we blow on cell phone plans we should all be allowed to tether for no additional cost with unlimited data plans. We pay a flat rate for home Internet use with no cap, ranging anywhere from 30-50 per month. Verizon/other carriers should increase capacity on their towers or put up more to accommodate the usage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dakota0206:
If you don't want to take the risk then don't do it at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Yes, LTE has slowed down. But, it's still really fast, faster than all other carriers where I am.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Please don't open this particular can of worms again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Verizon is nothing but a company. That company is free to do whatever it thinks will result in the most profit. Now what do you think will make more money, charging customers who are with Verizon because they already have the best service more, or spending money on new towers to attract a few customers in that area?

If Verizon customers want to tell them to stop jacking up the prices, they do it with their money (like what happened to netflix).

Also, i did not ask for advice; i was just curious as to others' experience. If you want to go cry about unlimited data, go to that "100+gb /month" thread or get unlimited data as per foreversupra's thread.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ncwildcat:
My data has gotten substantially slower...I now average about 3mbps down and 2.5 up....far cry from the 25 down I got in the summer

I'd like to fly to Japan for $99 but it's not going to happen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ihidbehindmusic:
In Memphis I get download speeds anywhere from 15-40 Mbps, and upload speeds anywhere from 4-8 Mbps. My best speed test so far was on Monday with 40.09Mbps Down and 8.1Mbps Up.

I just got on the Verizon network about five days ago, and I'm astounded at the speeds I get on 4g LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
the only thing that matches my LTE speeds is my FiOS wifi but even when used side by side the LTE usually smokes wifi... I'm pleased with the speeds and the fact that its unlimited and I'm not trying to screw myself or others out of it so I keep my data usage pretty conservative
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidfever:
I am still happily seeing around 40 down 20 up in San Jose, CA. It's so fast that I want to get faster SD card to match that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Since we're discussing torrents, has anyone noticed their upload speed being significantly slower than what you can get in a speedtest? As in if you're uploading a torrent at 3 AM, you might get 100 kBytes/sec, but on speedtest.net you might get 8 megabits/sec.

Does anyone know what would cause that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
What would you need to upload in the first place?

Sent from my pocket-sized, Linux-based computer using electromagnetic radiation... and Tapatalk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
Wow mine was never that high but it is still great. We had a slow down yesterday but today I am back to my normal 25 to 30 down. Forgot to mention I am in Harrisburg pa and we have several 4g phones in the house and all of them had the issues in various parts of the area.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
My speeds right now are at an average of 15-20Mb. while playing ps3, tethering an iPod and an iPhone. So I don't think it's slowed down a bit. As far as usage, I've used over 20 GB this past cycle. Use the damn data while we have it cuz the carriers will regulate or make changes to our plans at any given moment. Not our fault. It's business.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
That's irrelephant.

I'm just curious if this speed is "throttled" or merely a network/phone issue. Have any developers noticed whether or not Verizon's using some method to choke the bandwidth?

I mean we're talking about middle of the night here. The towers are completely unused and speedtest consistently maxes out. Yet overall bandwidth in consistent usage is relatively quite low. What could be causing this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Okay, I've finally noticed a bit of a pattern. The connection actually disconnects when the screen turns off. Not always, but if it times out it happens when the screen is off. Just pressing the volume button or power button to bring the phone out of standby is often enough to reestablish the connection.

Anyone else have this problem with wifi tether?
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
I'm consistently tethering fine whether the screen's on or off. Running v3.0 pre 12.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
They finally brought up LTE towers in my area of Bucks County, PA. I'm pretty freaking happy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
I was too. I'm trying beta v3.1 beta 11 now. Some GNex owners were complaining about this same issue (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1312#c25), and beta 11 solved their problems so I guess I'll see if it works for me.

Cool, what speeds are you getting? How close are you to the towers/what's your signal strength?
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrenaline_rush:
Been on LTE since early June and haven't really noticed any slowdown. Some places in town can still pull 45+ MB/s
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Sigh... this phone is giving me such a headache. No matter what I do the connection problem still arises. I've resorted to downloading an all-black "wallpaper", downloading an app to turn off screen timeout, and leaving my phone on at all times during tethering. But even then the disconnects still happen. What I find bizarre is that all I have to do is move the phone, and it reconnects. As if the proximity sensor being activated causes the tethering program to function again. But I've tried both enabling and disabling wakelocks option, so I don't know WTH to do. Sigh. Maybe I should flash a different ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] klovar:
It has gotten noticeably slower, but barely so. I don't run speed benchmarks, but I did notice downloads sometimes taker a bit longer, i.e. downloading a 4Mb file takes 6 seconds as opposed to 4 seconds, but I did notice that 4G is way faster than 3G...

The point is that places which used to be covered by only 3G service are now blanketed by the wondrous 4G -like my workplace.

I'll take slightly slower insanely far speeds for expanded coverage any day.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
LTE Advanced should be about 10x faster. 3x faster on the same spectrum, but enables the aggregation of multiple spectrum slices. Verizon currently has 100+ MHz of spectrum, and LTE Advanced can do 1 gbps on 67 MHz. So... yeah. We've only seen the beginning.

If you're curious, 5G, the generation *after* LTE Advanced, is predicted to produce speeds about 5 times faster than LTEa.

Also, I STILL CAN'T FIX THIS STUPID WIRELESS TETHER ISSUE. SCREW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GARBAGE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
What's you're wireless tether issue? Do you already have a pre-exsisting help thread?
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
In the NYC area, we slowed down a good amount over the mid summer to autumn but since mid autumn its sped back up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ambrar12:
Er no... should I make one? I didn't want to clutter up the General forum with another thread. But if no one minds I can do that.

My problem is that while using wireless tether my connection keeps failing every couple minutes or so. It reconnects after a minute, but it's incredibly frustrating. I can't really download or upload anything. Same thing happened with PDANet as well.

Using PBJ kernel and Eclipse 1.2. Same thing happened on Infinity ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Make one in Q&A and you'll get responses. Sometimes it takes a lot of people thinking about the same problem to come up with different solutions that can work. It's better than highjacking a thread away from it's topic. ;)

Some preliminary suggestions: re-flash radios, wipe dalvik and cache, try different wifi tether apps (barnacle, opengarden, wifi tether). I don't know which apps you've tried, what you're general service area is like, what solutions you've attempted, ect. Try to include as much specific info as possible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I get consistent 12-18 down and 5-11 up here in SoCal, it slows down occasionally as well as speeds up from time to time but as mentioned above I'll take 'slower' retardedly-fast 4G over 3G any day

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
The speeds ranged between 20-31+ Down / 5-10 Up. Signal strength is full.

Much faster than the speeds I get in King of Prussia.
[Verizon Droid Charge] icebear8:
Shouldn't of ask a question on a site that does not support those types of torrenting I feel ya man
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
I get the dropout tethering but if I set the phone on 3g I get less if not any dropouts so its something with the 4g
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ualdayan:
My Droid Charge's little quirks are starting to get on my nerves a bit, but the actual LTE network seems to be getting faster in my area. I had the highest speedtest I'd ever seen the other day at 55Mbps down, 9Mbps up.
