Android does this as well more or less you just won't find anyone using android as the OS on their PC. So here's where MS has a leg up. I'd more say it's a smart way of doing business... What company wouldn't want to make just ONE app that'll work across different types of devices
[Windows 8 General] androidcues:
hey... i test drove bluestacks oover thanksgiving and had a code and allthat and ran every app i had over the course of two hours then forgot aboout it.

now i cant seem to get a code... im signed up for the beta and all that but wheres the code?
[Windows 8 General] wri0013:
Now we've just got to successfully emulate Windows 7/8 and iOS on Android. iEmu would've been great but thats discontinued now :(
[Windows 8 General] ZackehSoul:
Yeah I love BlueStacks, it's really well made. Can't wait for the beta to come out :)
[Windows 8 General] LJP1111:
Just saw that beta got released. Anyone know what information they access to provide this? Google search listed terms and privacy links for their official website but clicking them just brought me to their homepage to download the application. Just wanted to do some reading before I try it out :cool:

Edit: site is overloaded which is why some parts such as privacy and terms pages are not accessible. Got the information that they'll be replaced with light versions for now. Also if anyone's interested as to how they work out what apps are on your device, they just pull the installed application list from your device. They don't look at or connect through the Google account to get the list from the Google play store. Not trying to be awkward, I was just enquiring what privacy or information I have to give up in order to use this beta service (which is free to use, so I was just looking for a catch) and how they access information. Seems okay to me now .
[Windows 8 General] HaVoKeR:
Yup, just saw this news this morning and i was pretty excited to try angry birds and angry birds space on my PC!!!!! :D I like the fact that most apps work not just the games and entertainment ones. Hopefully soon the WP8 merges with windows 8 and then we have one Marketplace for all devices :)
[Windows 8 General] jdsinglebarrel:
I'm definitely going to have to install Windows 8 on the MBP through VMware and then try this application out. Talk about super cool!
[Windows 8 General] Vancete:
I dont think that bluestacks will support ALL android Apps, for example, is hard to give support to 3d games or AR apps...
[Windows 8 General] madamimadam:
bluestacks is slow and clunky.

tested on series7 samsung slate.
[Windows 8 General] Haloman800:
I'd totally get a Windows tablet if it could run all the Android apps as well as W8, with that and a keyboard dock I could replace my current Android tab & laptop.

[Windows 8 General] nitin1978:
What is blue stack???
[Windows 8 General] J94w:
BlueStacks is an android emulator running on a x86 machine

Basically you can run android phone/tablet apps on a computer

------------------------------------------------------------

And if you complain about slow performance, switch to a different launcher like GO Launcher and bump up the SD card

Cant wait till this sucker gets rooted, been trying so already
[Windows 8 General] jasongw:
Actually no, Windows Phone 7 apps do NOT run on Windows 8, nor on Xbox 360. That simply isn't true.
[Windows 8 General] J94w:
I think that person was talking about x86 programs, not the apps which are in Windows 8. But you are right, anything built for a tablet on a ARM, will not work on a x86 machine. Anything built on x86 will not work on a ARM. And anything on Xbox 360 wont work unless Microsoft adds Xbox 360 live games and port those games to a x86 or a ARM computer. Like they did with Solitaire and Pinball.
[Windows 8 General] shardnet:
Didn't they announce though that there will be compatibility in the future??
[Windows 8 General] J94w:
Its possible if developers or Microsoft decides to port the software/apps to other systems/machines
[Windows 8 General] ru11er:
I am running bluestacks beta, but I can't get it to do anything really in windows 8, I can't even configure the settings??? :(

edit : its been about 5 mins, and settings came up, the website for bluestacks doesnt seem to provide a lot of info... but seems very very laggy and slow and almost like it is running a sandbox android phone, with like a 200mhz processor :\
[Windows 8 General] AmericanDane:
Anyone wanting to run old Android Apps on a Windows 8 tablet is kind of missing the point. This is Windows. You have a gazillion applications to choose from of all different types of functionality. The rush won't be to convert old Andorid apps to windows 8 - it will be for the applications in the PC market being brought down to run on a Win 8 ARM tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breakthestatic:
So I recently installed the CM9 kang that's over in the dev forum and I started noticing this weird behavior with the traffic widget where the GPS would remain permanently on while the widget was on the page. Confirmed via the battery stats as well. Thinking it was the ROM, I restored my nandroid backup (totally stock) and noticed the same thing. Has anyone else noticed that their GPS is on 24/7 when they have a traffic widget on their homescreen? I also notice that there is the extra 'trafficappwidgetupdate' service that's continually running and using high cpu cycles, so I'm not sure if something is faulty with the service or the GPS. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZK Azer:
Hello everyone. I think I've done a search in this sub-forum, and did not find any topic addressing this issue. I actually wanted to post this reply somewhere else, but it seems that there's a limitation for new users of xda.

Background:

My Galaxy Tab currently runs Overcome 4.1.0, which runs on Android 2.3.6. I upgraded it from the previous version of Overcome 4.0.0, which ran on Android 2.3.3. My router is from Belkin (G).

Problem encountered:

Upgrading to Android 2.3.6 led me to encounter a WiFi issue in which the connection would disconnect and reconnect every minute.

Solution:

After researching on this topic, I found the solution as stated by nagusia in the reply stated here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20842010&postcount=136. (Be sure to thank that post)

It turns out that the default DHCP lease on the Belkin router is set to FOREVER. after changing it to a finite value (two weeks), the problem went away.

Additional Info:

Here are a couple more threads that I found on Google about this similar issue:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phandemic:
Sorry about this but I don't understand what app is pushing email notifications to my phone on sense 3.5.

When I first boot up the rom before I have set up the email synch of HTC my phone will already get an email notification. Where does this come from? I would like to disable the app seeing as how I am receiving multiple notifications for one email.

Thank you for any assistance :)

---Edit---

Never mind I found it haha it was just gmail that was already on the phone to begin with. I wish I knew how to delete this...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Why would you want to delete gmail? Its the device main email. Its connected to Google which you sign in to your device with and sync everything with.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mniroy:
Because htc have its email app, so why need two if one is enough. :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Some people use different apps for different mail. It's much more comfortable to use Gmail features on Gmail.

And the only thing needed to delete it, is any file manager with root privileges.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jackson8r:
call me a noob, but i thought that Odin was taking too long (45 mins)(tried to switch from CM7 to stock firmware) and was stuck, so i closed out and turned off my phone by taking out the battery (idiot, i know) and now my phone wont turn on, and ive tried taking out the battery, pressing a number of button combos, and the people at radioshack didnt help (big suprise). any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Try holding the power button alone, for like 15 or more seconds.

Not sure beyond that....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jackson8r:
didnt help...what i think the problem is that i dont have a firmware on my phone to boot it from...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You need enter download mode. It's not clear from your post if you tried to enter download mode or not. Can you get into download mode? Do you have a jig?

Btw, 45 minutes was definitely too long for Odin, so there probably wasn't any thing else you could have done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jackson8r:
no, i cannot get into download mode, and i do not have a jig. would that fix the problem completely?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Unsure - seems like somehow you killed your bootloader, not sure how since no return-to-stock package has bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You should be able to get into download mode by this method: With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button). When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.

The jig is just another way to get into download mode, and certainly worth a try if you have one or can borrow one. With the phone powered off, plug in the jig, and the phone will immediately go into download mode.

You must have enough charge on the battery for the phone to turn on.

If the battery has charge, and you are unable to get into download mode by any method, and if you are unable to get any signs of life from your phone in any way, then as Entropy said, you may have damaged bootloaders.

The only way to damage one of the bootloaders, as far as I know, is for Odin to be interrupted while it is flashing the bootloader. So this begs the question, what exactly were you trying to flash that didn't complete in 45 minutes?

If your phone is truely hard bricked, the only way to recover it is to send it to a professional like connexion2005 of Mobile Tech Videos who can use jtag to reset the bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Oh oh, I feel bad for the OP.

People keep saying this device is "unbrickable" but apparently not. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
He should be able to clear it with a jig, but no one can guarantee that this will work. I have seen it fix this issue before though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No one claims it's unbrickable - just that it's damned hard to brick.

I'm still curious what he was trying to flash - I have NEVER heard of anyone hardbricking their devices unless:

1) They screwed with bootloaders - which is why I have included gigantic red warnings with anything I post that includes a bootloader

2) They flashed something not intended for the device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
If the bootloader somehow got corrupted (like crawly and Entrophy mentioned) then a jig won't do any good, I think.

It's good that some guru can access and reprogram the bootloader via JTAG.

I keep fingers crossed for OP.

Experienced people can avoid those fundamental mistakes but newbies often get hair pulling, head scratching before mumbling "dang, why would I do that in first place" :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Personal experience here. Flashed a one click for a captivate and bricked it a year ago. Went through everything, reported a success, and even sent reboot command to phone when it was done. 'Rebooted' to a black screen. For the better part of a week I tried everything, and I mean everything. Just unbricked last night/this morning with the 'unbrickable mod'. Wow micro soldering.

What led up to this was flashing a friends captivate with another one click odin package. Bricked it too (really need to quit doing that) but I think a usb jig might have worked on that one, but didn't have one with me. After doing the unbrickable mod to the phone that sat for over a year, I flashed it with the same package that just bricked the second captivate, and it worked fine. I did nothing different. I'm very patient in doing things the right way. Same steps, same software, same computer, no brick.

Is getting Samsung Tech support an option, if everything else fails, then you dont have anything to lose, they support by phone and was pleseantly suprised with their help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
AdamOutler is willing to work on bringing the unbrickable mod to the i777. All he needs is an i777, bricked or not. If anyone has one that is bricked, by all means send it to him. He said not only will he

unbrick it using jtag, he'll attempt to do the unbrickable mod to it.

I'd be willing to donate to him and anybody who helps make it possible by sending him their phone.

Auto brightness, it adjusts depending on the lighting conditions. Yes for battery and so when it's dark you don't get blinded. To turn it off, go settings > display > brightness
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beseenwithgreen:
Wow lol seriously that's all that is? Guess I expected auto brightness to be more subtle in changing not like a flicker :-( guess I just gotta live with it cause I don't think I want it set to a constant brightness.

If you disable it, then you can also use your finger and slide left and right on the notification bar to brighten or dim. Kinda cool future.

Haha be happy! You paid extra for that feature :P lol --- and yeah the notification bar trick is nice...

Just curious if anybody else had there stop working last night . Mine will come on and show that its up and running but when I go to hook up its not on my list of available networks? And no it's not my laptop, I also checked with my OG Droid and it doesnt see it either. I have tried reinstalling and Iget the same result .

Thank god for the new cwm Tether app. It would be no internet for without it . Any help would be appreciated .

[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
Eclipse ROM 2.0.3, 2.3.5 based. The kernel error can be ignored, I get the same error, access control is unsupported with our kernel.

Be sure that WiFi Tether has ROOT access. It only works with rooted phones.

I have mine set up like this:

Device Profile: Auto

Setup Method: Auto

WiFi Encryption: Enabled

Encryption Setup Method: Auto

I have a passphrase set, changed my SSID, wireless channel is default, Don't disable Bluetooth is checked.

Enable access control is greyed out. It is unsupported by our kernel which is why we get the error.

I do not have automatic shutdown checked. Idle time is greyed out until you select automatic shutdown.

Preferred and alternate DNS are default, as is the rest of the settings dialog.
[Motorola Droid X2] ravinaziankid:
I tried just before and my laptop or tablet connected but wasn't loading any pages. I know it worked when I had liberty 2.3.4, man looks like I have to go back to 2.3.4. I tried both wifi tether app and the hot spot.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
All I can say is try this:

Go into settings...applications...all...let it load, scroll to WiFi Tether. Force stop if it is running, clear cache and data. Uninstall it, then re-install the latest version.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I am currently using my laptop tethered to my Droid X2 running Eclipse 2.0.3. Download 1.43Mbps, upload 0.94Mbps.

Make sure you have root. If you are on Eclipse ROM, then you do.

EDIT: I may have found your problem. When you upgraded to the latest version of WiFi Tether, did you uninstall the old one first? I upgraded right after I posted this, and then experienced the same issues as you. It also shut down my WiFi and Bluetooth when I uninstalled it. I rebooted, but the phone rebooted itself after about 30 seconds, so when I got back into the phone I quickly booted into BSR, cleared cache/dalvik, rebooted, reinstalled the latest, and now it is working again with no issues.

[Kindle Fire General] funnyangrykid:
Well as some of you have already seen that some phones are capable of dual booting such as ONE particular windows phone (don't remember the name of the phone) Which was able to boot into Android software while still being able to keep its stock windows Rom. Well my question is, is it possible for the kindle fire to be able to boot into another Rom like "CM7" or others as such while still keeping the stock Rom?
[Kindle Fire General] cryancaire:
Do you mean actual dual booting, or just booting a rom within a rom? I helped a friend boot Android 2.2 on her windows phone one time and she loved it.

I dont know if you can boot one android rom within another android rom. Though I could be completely wrong.

As I do recall there is a way to boot Ubuntu Linux within an Android rom so if someone puts together a good app, it just may be possible.
[Kindle Fire General] funnyangrykid:
A Rom within a Rom?? That's CRAZY talk lol no but In all seriousness I was thinking like when you boot up your device, it will load a screen asking you if you want to boot into the stock Rom or whichever other Rom you have installed. Such as CM9 or what have you. Or when you boot your device, it will boot into the stock Rom and from there you can choose to boot into another Rom.
[Kindle Fire General] cryancaire:
Well in relation to what I helped a friend do with her phone and Android/Windows mobile, was that you loaded an exe from windows mobile and it rebooted her phone into android and stayed until a reboot was triggered.

But as for an option to boot to a particular OS... I suppose if someone hijacked the bootloader(which is a viable option with an unlocked bootloader such as on the fire) and then threw in a quick app that checked for bootable partitions or folders with boot files in it, listed them for you and then booted based on what you chose... then sure...

Is that possible? I think it is... although I am not the dev to do it as I have no knowledge of this type of thing.

Maybe JackpotCalvin or someone else might have some kind of better ideas.
