If we get the community on-board, the vendors will come by themselves.

If the community showcases these devices, and the community members buy devices based on these grades - the vendors will want to come on board.

The vendors like Xiaomi and Meizu could be the first to be interested in this type of publicity - and this is really the type of vendors we should try to get interested.

Once the smaller ones are in, the bigger ones are sure to follow ;)

But community awareness is the first step - we need to choose for ourselves and recommend to others devices that already fall into this category - like SE and HTC devices that are already bootloader unlock-able, and to not buy and not recommend devices like the locked-down Motorola's.
[Android General] zelendel:
This will be hard to do as each OEM will need to get all the source from other manufacturers and they will never release the source for their drivers. Not to mention alot of peoples choice on buying a device is the price from their carriers. The carriers won't jump on board as any Modding voids warrenty and they will refuse to support it. Not to mention their stand on how not everyone should have access to certain things. (Can't say I disagree with them). Then you mentioned the MIUI phone. They won't get far as alot of people are upset they stole most of the coding from CM and are now trying to make money off of it. Not cool. Don't get me wrong I would love to see an XDA approved phone. Just don't see the OEMs having any interest as there will not be as much money to be made and in the end that is all they care about. Besides once Samsung finishes buying MIUI then that will be a proprietary os. They already have CM. Notice the bot went down shortly afterwards? Odd? Just a little lol
[Android General] srle:
I would not worry a lot about that - the Apache 2.0 licence allow reuse of code in closed source projects - it's a choice Google and OHA made.

Project and ROM makers will come and go - today it's Cyanogenmod, tomorrow it will be someone else with a different project (think WebOS on our Android devices). The point here is to have an option to buy a device that's free to be modified and free to support which ever OS the community decides to run on it (maybe some new version of Ubuntu even).

Phones are also only a part of this problem (and the part that's dependent on carriers) - there are also tablets and probably media players to consider here.

I think that this certification could help the vendors and even carriers which want to stand out and show that they are different by giving them means to do so. In the end, even subsidized devices are payed by you - and not the carrier, so you should have a choice to do what ever you want with it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] AlvinPhilemon:
This is a bunch of Repository wallpapers i made. The first one is for start screens which has events with location info (e.g. Facebook Events), the second is for non-location events (e.g. Facebook Birthdays). This also includes a bar for notifications and the networking bar since this wallpapers are white. Feel free to give me design ideas and PM me your emails associated with your Windows Phone so that I can email you new idea releases so you can immediately. Enjoy... A new version will be made for lockscreens with no events whatsoever (e.g. no Facebook account synced). For now, no events start screens should use the first wallpaper.

If you want to download the images DIRECTLY to your Windows Phone, download the .zip attachment below as Windows Phone's can open attachments in .zip format and can directly set it as your wallpaper. If you want to get updates on newer wallpapers, click here for more updates.

*note: these wallpapers may drain more battey on the Samsung Focus, Samsung Focus Flash, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Omnia 7, Samsung Omnia W, HTC HD7S and the HTC Titan as 60% of the wallpaper is white and fully black pixels do not emit light, which saves more energy.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tzic:
Hello,

my problem is that my HD2 (Hyperdroid CM7 latest) when in my pocket locked and protected with a pattern, gets unlocked when the dial button on the bluetooth (samsung HM1500) gets pressed accidentally. The BT dial button bypasses everything. Is there a way to stop this? Anyone else has the same problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matoflash:
Try downloading "proximity sensor off" app.

It will lock your phone, if in pocket, very quickly, so that should solve your problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tzic:
Thank you for the reply but it doesn't seem to work. Pressing Bluetooth's dial button bypasses everything, even widget locker and unlocks the phone and dials the last called number. It doesn't matter if the phone is in a pocket or not. Any other ideas?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matoflash:

this is a game changer in my eyes, not so much because EVERYONE has onlive or will get it, but because apple can advertise that there tablet can do these things,

and its pretty FREAKING awesome!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
Calm down, it's also available for Android, and it was already available in the Flyer for quite some time now (HTC invested heavily in OnLive back then)

It's a really great idea but right now there is not many games and it is limited to very few country

And Apple doesn't advertise something that's not made by Apple.

They buy it, rebrand it, then they advertise it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrKaon:
I'm playing games on my phone without any lag. been subscribed member of onlive for few months now. love it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
Android version will be better

Android version will allow in-app purchases, and probably controller support will be better. And having 4 cores on the Prime means there will be enough cores to handle video, network and game controller data. :)

But no need to overhype it. Even without lag/offline issues, games designed for a 20+ inch display are hard to play on a <10 inch tablet. Probably get sniped and never see who shot you. LOL

Games like Fallout and Skyrim need a large screen to make out the detail and find stuff. And in RTS games, units will be way too small. The eye strain is gonna be seriously bad.

IMHO, games designed for a tablet with proper (i.e. bigger) fonts and objects are better. But I guess people want to know it's _possible_ to play PC/console games on a tablet, even if it's not any good. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Unless you have 10ms or less ping to their server there will be noticable lag. How noticable depends on your preferences (and on type of game). :) I think you could still play without much problems with ping up to 50ms or sth though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Not true scaling dude this tablet 13 inches away will be apear about the samesize as a 42 inch tv from 5-6 feet away..... That's how you can stand to read on a phone with a 4 inch screen lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joe_dude:
I've played Fallout on an 11-inch, 14-inch laptop and 26-inch monitor... there is a huge difference. And reading on a phone, you can choose a large font and pinch to zoom.

The closer the screen is, the greater the eye strain. So I guess it'll depend on a person's tolerance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Yes and im 16 and have an extremely high tolerance to small screens
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
Just downloaded on live and tested on the prime.

Its awesome,

Too bad i don't have a controller but it doesn't seem like there's too much of a lag.

Its quite different from playing with splash top.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Interesting. When you say quite different do you mean the lag while playing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
There's also the ability to conncet the tablet via microHDMI to a TV, which I plan on doing (with emulators and Mizuu Media Center) ALL THE TIME as is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lmm112190:
How does this work, once u purchase the app/controller, it gives u access to their library of console games. Do u need to purchase the games from their library. Or is it free/subscription service.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You put app on device. You sign up for free. Then you have access to free demos and trials. Every game has free 30 min trial. Then you can pay $9.99 per month for unlimited access to over 100 games. Bundle deal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Directly from their site:

1

Demo Free

Test-drive games instantly!

2

Rent or Purchase Games

3-day, 5-day or Full Access

3

Get the PlayPack Bundle

Unlimited Access to 100+ Games

Looks like you can rent or buy the games for X amount of money and then play them on any device. Or, you can get their subscription service that's $9.99 a month so you can play 100+ of their games whenever you want as long as your sub is active.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
I'm nearsighted (well, on one eye, but still) and it's "the closer the better" for me. I watch movies on 23'' screen from 30 centimeters sometimes. And the view is better than in cinema! Sharp and beautiful (I recommend my screen by the way - eizo fs2331, best black you can get on LCD and almost perfect colour gradients, C-PVA panel). :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blueman101:
Onlive allows free trials of all the games. Newer games allow for 3 or 5 day renting or full price to purchase it. Older games are moved to the playpack which is subscription based and only grants acess to those older games.

The app is free, you just have to pay for games, there is none, zip, nada, lag on a good connection.

Frequent Onlive user, was just playing Arkham City a few minutes ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
I installed the OnLive client on my Windows desktop. While the experience may be good enough for some, it is hardly the same as a native app. Certainly the graphics are not nearly as sharp on my 1920x1080 screen. Also, the framerate is lower, which is clear when panning. Some scenes look better than others. I guess it has to do with compression.

It's not terrible, and I'm actually a little impressed it's as good as it is, but I would not be over hyping it as some in this thread have done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blueman101:
Thats because currently Onlive only streams 720p not 1080p. Panning is fine if you have a good internet connection.

[Wildfire General] Dr Coconut:
Firstly, were you even on HBOOT version 1.01.0002?

If you were, check if the downgrade was successful after running step2.bat

If it wasn't make sure HTC Sync has been uninstalled but the drivers have not

If the drivers are in place, I suggest looking for a solution at the orginal guide found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145035

nope i have 1.01.0002 and step 1 does its stuff no problem then goldcard automatically starts up no problem with that and i patched it and everything then step2.bat comes up and starts downgrade but like its doing a bit and just closes instantly back to hboot still showing s-on 1.01.0002????

i h ave windows 7 ultimate 64 bit../??? any help?

CWM Issue

Hi,

I need help regarding clock work mod recovery.....

I have rooted my phone successfully bt I am facing issue with CWM ie whenever I am trying to go to recovery-> install zip from sd card, my card contents doesn't pop up, instead only the symbol of CWM is displayed...

please help..
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
make sure that you're using the proper controls...:

After boot you select items by vol keys and choose by hitting the power button.

In CWM you also select by vol keys but choose by hitting trackball ;)

Have you done so?

thank u very much it did work....

bt I am stuck with a new issue....I was installing a custom rom and my phone is stuck in the htc window and is not booting up.

can u recommend any solution for it..
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
At first boot it might take a while to boot up. If it remains stuck on the logo I'd suggest to reinstall but do a "full wipe/factory reset" from inside ClockworkMod (even better format system and data before).

BTW Which ROM are you trying to install?
[Wildfire General] Rahul2929:
Thank u very much for ur help....I appreciate u people very much....

Bt actually that rom was not good that's y I was facing that issue
[Wildfire General] RonaldSmith:
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CMD and are on Windows 7 (or similar), make sure you start CMD in admin mode.

Otherwise it doesn't work.

1- Make sure the files are stored in a folder in C:\ (or somewhere very short unless you know command line). For example: C:\goldcard

Copy the files from the folder they came in and throw them in there.

2- Go to start and write CMD. Now DO NOT single click the program or type enter. Instead do CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER

This opens it in Admin mode. (some pop up confirmation may appear).

3- Navigate to the folder by writing "cd C:\goldcard". (Without the quotation marks of course. Use the name of the folder you created in step number one.)

4- write step1.bat

That should do it. The same applies to step2.

Don't use unrevoked. To use unrevoked I think you need to be on Eclair. Revolutionary is *much* easier. It should display HBOOT USB if you connect your phone to your computer in HBOOT, not fastboot. My guess is that you're in fastboot USB.

It happened two days ago,i did the rice thing and left it for 48 hrs,

today i did a test and i figured the following :

when i hold the power bottom,the battery icon appears (as empty) for a second and then disappears, at first it was a loop, right now it does this for one time.

when i connect the phone to a charger,the phone starts the (charging state) and the battery appears to be full,at this stage i hold the power buttom and the phone starts perfectly and smoothley,i dissconnect the phone from the charger and phone is working with no problem and the battery is full as i left it before the water damage situation.

Is it the battery or the phone itself...???

do i have to leave the phone back on the rice for a while..??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
'The Rice Thing' Whats that, urban legend?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChauncyG:
Rice will not work. It is an urban legend. The back of the phone has to come off, not the battery cover, the phone back (7 screws). Carefully pry around the back of the chrome bezel and remove. Blow it out with canned air (the phone not the back cover). Soak in denatured alcohol for 5 minutes. Blow it out again. Leave it alone in a warm place for 3 days. Put it back together and fire it up. If it does not work you may have shorted a component on the motherboard. If so, sell it on eBay and cut your losses.

Trying to use a phone that has not been dried out properly will ruin it eventually. Even just leaving a charged battery in it will ruin it as well even if it is not on.
