[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicholasQ:
So in azrienoch's latest video he predicts a death to the android tablet platform when windows 8 arrives for tablets and then for the windows phone. Being that windows is easily recognizable to most pc users around the world and the fact that people may just go to windows because of ease of use. Having a tablet and phone that syncs and runs the same programs as their pc may be the great selling point for microsoft. Now, I won't say I agree or disagree as I think he has some interesting arguments. But I can't help but wonder if this has much chance of happening. I am wondering what your thoughts are about the future of android?

I won't buy one. Anything with windows seems to come with a higher price. Android does everything I need to do on a tablet, if I need to do more I have a desktop.

I do agree that it would be nice to have this feature built in to android, but QuickOffice Pro works nicely for me and I got it free (Thanks Amazon). Also google docs works ok, but needs more features for mobile editing. My G-Tab with a bluetooth or usb keyboard works great for this.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siniux:
Windows 7 already runs on tablets and yet the iPad sold much more than all tablets running Windows since the XP to this day.

Windows 8 will be atractive, yes, but I don't think anyone can predict the death of Android. Especially since no one really knows how well the metro/desktop relation on apps is going to be accepted by the devs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjonastybe:
Android squeezes everything in the market share.Knowing they started from scratch and they owned the market already last year.

I personally don't care about Windows 8 tablets.

And people who know nothing about technology either buy a iPad 2 for its name or they buy a Android tablet for its price.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacekeeper05:
depends on the programs and apps both platform will have.

Unless Google finds a way to port a very functional Word/doc/PPT/Excels processing/editing application, it will continue to have a small marketshare.

That is the only thing that I want in a windows computer.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
Some things to consider:

Android tablet sales are minuscule as is, it's a far, far away second choice to the iPad.

There will be 3x+ more Windows 8 installs than there are iPads in just 2 or so years. Windows is windows. 2012 will be a year filled with touch screen all in ones, convertible tablets, touch screen ultra books and of course tablets. All of these machines will be part of an enormous Windows Marketplace powered ecosystem.

Next gen Intel chips are going to be surprisingly efficient. My old Pinetrail netbook only ran hot when playing flash, hell my Nexus S gets hot playing flash. It also got 8+ hours on a single charge. Next years Atoms will run cooler (smaller and SoC) and will have better battery lifes. The GPUs are also immensely improved, better than current Sandybridge. Fan-less designs guaranteed too. People keep talking about ARM Windows 8 tablets but I don't think they'll even be a big deal.

Anyway my point is that I imagine that a majority of the people who are going to buy a real computer/laptop, and they're not getting a Mac/Macbook, will get some type of touch lightweight mobile Windows 8 machine. People will then quickly realize that you don't need a mobile-like (iOS, Android, WebOS, etc) tablet and only the Apple faithful will buy into the iPad. After that Windows tablets will take off and displace Android tablets altogether and have a really, really good shot at dethroning the iPad in the tablet market.

WP7 may grow a little but it wont get close to Android. Android is a puppet for OEMs and Carriers; and that's all it'll take to keep it on top.

PS: I do think that there will be a small market for $200-300 ~7" Android tablets but that may even get displaced by cheap ARM Windows 8 tablets.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
The legacy support for Windows tablets seems like a last minute thing, they really didn't put much effort into that. The devices are usually expensive and run outdated hardware, and these devices won't become available til about the end of next year. The thought of someone predicting the end of even Android tablets is silly... Android tablets are really popular, they range from cheap to expensive( from expecting the worse to expecting the best) and the legacy support for apps is great. Besides that, tablets have proven themselves as a mobile device, why are you going to put a bulky operating system on a mobile platform anyways?

[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Quick question:

If you go into the people app, click on a contact who has an address saved, scroll down to the address field then click on it...

By default the phone searches for the address on the locations app and shows you it on the map, however I'd prefer it to just show me the full address in a text box...especially as when you don't have data/WiFi on it can't open locations. it makes sense to atleast show you the full address, especially as the way it shows it in the contact itself you can't see it all.

So is it possible to change this behaviour? I can understand what HTC have done here but tbh its not needed, I just want to see the address

[Dell Streak 7] guyver08:
Hey Folks, I am a noob and stuck. I just got wifey the Dell Streak 7 on black friday special and being that its running Honeycomb, there is no USB driver. I called "Dell" which was a joke and after talking to several people I was told that the drivers wont be out there for several weeks.. (WTF).. I have gone through most of the forums for info but stuck.

I have a laptop running Vista, and my work computer that is running XP and need direction as too what I need to download to get the show on the road. I just want a way for me to access the tablet or SDcard through the USB cord.

I keep seeing references to ADB, and laslow site but those posts are referencing to those running Windows 7, or am I wrong. Any and all help for this lost noob would be gr8.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Ok if you bought it new with Honeycomb on it then you bought the wifi version I assume. Anyway, all Honeycomb devices switched protocols, they are no longer USB Mass Storage devices, they are recognized and media players, so you should see a Portable Media Devide under My Computer if you have the latest version of Windows Media Player on your laptop...

OK, THAT being said, in my personal opinion it's the worst decision Google could've ever made. SO what I do is install a little app called Samba File Sharing, which allows you to connect to the 7 as a network device and have access to it's SD contents just like any other device connect to your computer.

Hope this helps. You have to set up a few parameters like network name and workgroup and such but it only takes about 1 minute and well worth the trouble
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Thank you for that tip. :)
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Some devices require MTP, the s7 in this case isnt one of them. The s10 is though.

It's up to the rom maker to decide which one to use to use either MTP or USBMSD, depending on how the internal memory is organized.

Regardless MTP allows you to simultaniously access the device on a pc while using it on the device itself. With USBMSD you can only use it on one or the other.

The S10 has /sdcard as a symlink to /data/media, so you simply cant mount it or you'd unmount the entire /data partition (which would be very bad). The galaxy nexus is the same way, hence it requiring MTP mode.

The S7 has /sdcard as a seperate partition, I'm guessing mainly for the ability to simultaniously access it.

Fastboot+ADB.zip has every driver for every dell device.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
I would really love to have the voodoo kernel enabled to take advantage of the Wolfsons DAC.

Can someone help?

maybe this should be moved to the development section?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Requests don't belong in Development.

I don't think anyone has even created a custom kernel yet, but I could be wrong.

Is it even confirmed that this device has a Wolfson?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
Yes it exists and it's made for EU version only (steve's thread in the development forum)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lomonoxop25:
what is your version?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
I have the US version bought from amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
If I wanted to try the steve's EU kernel on my US version and things will go wrong would there be a way to reflash the original ROM and save the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
yes, all you have to do is get into download mode on your device and use odin with this stock firmware for the galaxy player 4.0 US: http://www.4shared.com/file/zhZjh0EY/package_us235tar.html

I can confirm that the stock ROM works for the device because I used it to recover back to stock several times when I was tweaking stuff and screwed up my device.

Hope I helped!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
yes you did help, since there's no way to use cwm do you know a way to backup my current device and reflash my rom instead of the general untouched one?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
The ROM contains factoryfs.rfs and zImage, which are the system partition and kernel. So you won't lose any personal data or apps if you are to flash it. All that is stored in another partition.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Hey guys, so i've noticed that a lot of people are complaining about their battery lives. There are a few things that I have done which are not too complicated that I think the rest of you should do too (if you haven't done so already). With these steps, i have my brightness almost to the max the entire time, and the battery lasts me most of the day without needing to charge.

1) Calibrate your battery - This first step is a given, and should definitely be done, especially after rooting. You can find steps by searching in the forums for how to calibrate battery.

2) Uncheck "Use Wireless Networks" in the Locations menu in the settings. This is a huge battery hog, if not the biggest on the phone (next to brightness and 4G). If you feel like you need it to use the "Places" app better, then you can either always turn on GPS just when you need to use it, or just search for whatever you want in Google Maps directly. Many ways around this problem.

3) ROOTED USERS ONLY - Get a root explorer, go into /system/apps and move the following apps to a different folder, preferably on the sd card: Socialhub.apk, Mediahub.apk, Sprintzone.apk, SprintID.apk (sometimes called w_sprint.apk). Obviously if you use those apps, dont move them because you'll essentially be deleting them, but from my experience most people don't use them, and they are always just running in the background. Huge battery hogs as well.

- You can also delete the other sprint apps through the usual app removal process if you'd like.

Also, if you use widgets such as Beautiful Widgets, or Minimalistic Text, for time and weather that require Use Wireless Networks for updates, it would be best not to use them. Especially BW, drains a good portion of the battery. There are other alternatives that I feel are just as good, such as a decent looking modded stock digital clock and the genie widget from ICS (Thats what i personally use). They take a fraction of the others and provide the same information.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Very nice tips. I didn't really like media hub and got tired of seeing it.. but the sprint files you mentioned weren't in my folder.. The apps are still there

EDIT.. also can you like me to battery calibration instructions? O didn't even know that was a thing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
You can also freeze those apps if you are rooted. Same results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
I am always so surprised to read people with bad battery life. I have a stick phone running all sick items except having root and I well easily get well over a full day on my battery. I plug it in asst the end of the day with 60% battery on a regular and that is after 14-16 hours. GPS always on, brightness on auto, sync what needs to be synced, using the phone as a phone, with Bluetooth at times as well. The only time I lose significant power is when I use Netflix or start running games for an hour or so.

Are people running stock on this or a built ROM? Also, are you running stock kernel with CWM? CWM put my battery into a hole so I went back to stock without CWM, no idea why out would do it though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
It seems to me like from those pictures that you barely use your phone for other things than making calls. The reason that i can come to that conclusion is because your display battery usage is just so much less than your Android OS, that just means your screen is off for the majority of the day. I'm assuming from that that you're probably an older gentleman who has less use for things like texting and Facebook. Unfortunately, the majority of my communication is through those 2, as well as some other channels.

And to answer your other question, i am running stock rooted without cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
I guess i can just describe it for you, its pretty simple. Just follow the following steps:

1) charge your phone to 100% (if it reaches 100 unplug it then plug it back in, it'll most likely take another 20 minutes to truly reach 100)

2) if you are rooted and have clockwork mod recovery, boot into recovery, and wipe the battery stats. Then continue to the next step. If you are not rooted, dont worry, just go onto the following step anyway.

3) from the market, download a battery calibration app and calibrate it.

4) then use your phone regularly throughout the entirety of its battery cycle (don't plug it in for mini charges until it fully dies)

5) when it dies, recharge it back to a full 100% (don't unplug it before it reaches 100%).

Then you're done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
I refuse to believe your getting 10hours of battery life with moderate emails, calls, txt n social apps running n your battery only dropping to like 80% after 10 hours.

You must not use your phone at all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. By the end of a 16-hour day, I have about 2-hours of screen-time, and my battery is around 50%. I have corporate email on my phone, so it wakes up frequently, and I check my messages all day long.

There's also the issue with Android OS taking up way more of the battery charts than it's supposed to. Most of the time, that bar is 2x longer than my display bar, unless I unplug it and play a game for four or five hours. There is a bug on this phone, that either calculates the Android OS bar improperly, or the phone is genuinely using tons of battery in the background and Android OS is a giant battery drain.

If you hang out on the forums a bit longer, you'll see this pop up pretty often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
lol, I've actually already read those forums before, but the thing is that I just don't think its a bug with those people. The thing is that its simply a balance. If your screen is set to a very low brightness, or just off most of the day, it clearly won't be the main battery drainer, but all that means is that something else will be. Something will always be the main battery drainer, even if its not draining that much.

Maybe it just makes more sense in my head than on here, but I'm pretty sure lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
lol, you disbelieve all you like, here's another screenshot, from me, to help you come to terms with your issues ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
That's even better with showing you all his awake time. You are right, I have never wasted my time with Facebook, the internet can live on without my updates, but I do use the phone for corporate email all day as I work remotely and I am on the phone regularly for work. Not sure why you would be getting such bad battery life. I was just trying to help and see if there was anything you could pick up from me that would help with you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
It is in fact a bug. Here is a bug report in Google's bug tracker. Here's another. There's also a very long XDA thread that explains what the Android OS bug actually is, and how it works.

If the lines are proportional, then Android OS is using more power than 2 hours of display time, and I've gone as high as 5 hours and 30 minutes. I've had times when 4 hours of screen time is still less than Android OS. What? That makes no sense.

From the XDA thread:

Before that were two screenshots. One of them showed a minimal Android OS bar, while the other had it at 95%. The only difference was the patched kernel. This. Is. A. Bug. Period. High Android OS usage means absolutely nothing. Even after tracking down wakelocks, it will be high or low pretty much at random. Sometimes this is a legit stuck suspend, in which case rebooting is the only fix. Other times, it's just the bad profile. There's no way to know unless you study CPU spy, better battery stats, and possibly Watchdog.

In any case, read that XDA thread that explains what Android OS is. It has very little to do with how much screen time you have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
wow, thats crazy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
I'm not trying to bash you or say I get bad battery life. I just don't see someone who is taking his or her phone out every 10mins getting emails, and calls, social updates, background syncing is going to get 10hours of battery with just about 95% left.

Maybe if all you do is check emails and take 15 min calls and put your phone back into sleep mode you can probly get that. But even then. I can't say real world usage = 10hr with 95% left. only if you have a extended battery on

From my Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
This is with an hour of screen time. Admittedly, that's less than half my normal usage, but I was working on my book on the train instead of reading reddit. I'd normally be in the 50's by now with about 2.5 hours of screen time.

Way better than my Eris.
