i got it but it keeps saying update failed do you want to reboot Now wat
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you want a stock rom download the PC36IMG.zip if you want a custom rom check development thread there are lots, a few good ones I recommend for GB are Deck's evo-deck 1.3d or 1.3stable, for AOSP and sense I recommend tommytomatoes evo classic v0.0.5, mikg v3.0, or calkuilins evio3 v1.0 for beginner roms, since they are all really stable

Ok so just flash a rom with the stock recovery ? And does it matter if I'm still rooted since I perm rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You HAVE to be rooted to flash a custom rom only thing you can flash with out root are signed files from HTC in bootloader, before flashing go into wipe and wipe everything but sdcard and battery stats and since Im pretty sure ur on cwm recovery go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, I use amon RA so I'm not up to date on cwm layout, but wipe each option 3x then go to flash zip from SD card find the rom zip u wanna flash and select it and then accept to flash it

Edit: after its finished doing its thing flashing the zip reboot it may take a few mins as it optimizes and rebuilds cache and dalvik, if you want a sense rom I recommend tommytomatoe's classic v0.0.5 for a newbie since its stable and close to stock but very customized and optimized and stable

Anyone here is watching CES 2012 on facebook?

Right now that lady is demo-ing the Windows 8 Tablet, i like the original idea about Windows 8 is bringing Metro UI to Desktop, but i think the marketplace / apps for Desktop is something stupid to me.

I think Microsoft has gone too far and almost completely forgotten about PC hardcore User. Ebay apps when we have IE/Firefox/Chrome for Ebay.com?

Maybe i am wrong over here, because until now i have no clue about the idea behind Marketplace for PC.

What do you guys think?
[Windows 8 General] thanchetmy:
i think such idea of app market on the W8 is for the tablet, that is ok though, as long as they figure out away to port win32 software to run on apps, i would be the first one to get in line to get the tablet, other than that, i am good with my asus transformer
[Windows 8 General] ne0cr0n:
For tablets, maybe netbooks with a little screen, its a good OS. But... on a 24 inch Monitor? Serious, I tested the preview and in Metro the handling with mouse and keyboards sucks! It even interrups the productivity flow in the "desktop app". If I am on the classic desktop and want to open a programm from the start menu: Why do I have to go back to the start screen and type.

This is so unintuitive and doesn't suit to the desktop design at all...
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
the thing is, Microsoft has focus more on the Tablet than our - PC user.

You can see almost everything on the Keynote of Steve on CES 2012 (which has just ended ) is focus on the mobility of the technology nowday.

Tablet with ARM/ x64 / x86 , nVIDIA Tegra are all cool. But hand down, they didn't notice anything about the original idea of PC , yes, when i mean the mouse and the keyboard.

The idea behind Marketplace for Windows 8 PC is something still new. And i hope, the marketplace is like a place where we can search all kind of applications for PC around the web without having google/bing it around.

Don't get me wrong , i am a Microsoft fan and i own a Windows Phone.
[Windows 8 General] ne0cr0n:
Thats the point! The marketplace is just for Metro apps and I don't understand why I should use an app if I have a internetbrowser (ebay, etc). The apps are optimized for small screens so it's just annoying to swipe with your mouse or use some strange shortcuts to show up the menu bar if you have enough space to display everything you need.
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
The link for whoever missed the keynote:

Yes. The thing is, there is no point from moving to use an app to control the web-based service like Ebay or Amazon. I mean, if you have a touch screen, you would love to do that because i know that typing on the touch screen is such pain in the ass.

But with PC is different, a mouse and keyboard are far more advanced than a touch screen. We have been using our browser to do most stuffs, we don't need an app to do that. For example, i can have IE9 , and i can do most stuffs from betting on Ebay to buying stuffs on Amazon without having anything extra installed except for some flash plug-ins. So why choosing install many different apps and make your PC slower while you can get everything just by a click of a mouse on the icon of the browser?

Many people would say to me that if i don't like it then don't use it, but that isn't a point. It is fine that Microsoft try to make a buck over tablets , but they seem to be forgetting about PC user like us, i hear nothing about the original PC in the keynote except some new Laptops and Intel's new path for the future. That's why i am little bit disappointed.
[Windows 8 General] jerrykur:
CES is all about what is cool and hip today. Right now that is mobile devices so MS's CES pitch focuses on Windows 8. MS is leaving CES after this year so they can focus on getting the message they want out without having to follow the hot theme and control better the presentation of their message. You can expect that message to be heavily based around HTML 5 and web based apps to the detriment of those that develop windows apps.
[Windows 8 General] FuturePrimitive:
I'm new to Windows 8 in general so be gentle... :D

(These are meant as general comments, not picking on you Strike_Eagle, you were just the last post I read.)

Thanks for that, watching now!

Agree completely here. I don't even use those types of apps on my Xoom, if its a browser based service or app, I just use the Xooms browser. It's a real browser, no need for an app.

I disagree a bit here, the way a touch screen is used is different than that of a mouse, it shouldn't be seen as a replacement for a mouse. Multi touch functions and gestures are what touch screen input excels at. However, emulating simple mouse input, navigating the screen or cursor, etc.. eh, not so much. I added a BT mouse to my Xoom and many things are MUCH faster using it rather than touching the screen, but some things are easier and faster using the touch screen.

I see this as much more than MS looking to make a buck on tablets. As power of mobile devices increases, as "cloud" (I hate that term) storage becomes more prevalent, its going to be very important to have a seamless experience across devices. For example, I use Google Music and Chrome. No matter what device I'm on, Xoom, desktop, laptop, all of my playlists and bookmarks are the same. This is where I think MS is going with Windows 8, they're looking to have their OS be everywhere and work the same (or similar) no matter what device you're on. Or at least be flexible enough to do that.
[Windows 8 General] magallanes2010:
lol no.

With multitouch you can zoom, rotate, roll and that's it, with a precision that is useless for most task but browser internet and catalog some photos.

For example, let's say that we have a picture of 2000x1500 and we want to select a square of 256x256... with multitouch you can't do that.

In fact, clicking a single link can become a tedious work of zoom then click.
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
Oh, don't need to worry about it, it is cool. Forum is a place for discussion, right? :cool:

Yea, i got your point man. Everything has its own advantage. Something which is so great to use the multi-touch. I never say that the multitouch would be a replacement for the mouse anytime soon. But my point, was like, Something which is designed for Multi-Touch might not be a great deal for mouse and keyboard.

the word "advanced" here , i mean , you can do more stuffs with a keyboard than a touch-screen, or the keyboard and mouse give you more advantages than the touch-screen give you. Don't get me wrong man, if you do photoshop , you would know that you can do stuffs with the picture by mouse and press the short cut on the keyboard for special effect at the sametime, which is can't be done by multi-touch, Because Multi-Touch is like a combination of mouse and keyboard , for the benifit of portable device.

But with Multi-Touch , you can also do stuffs that you would not ever archieve with a mouse. Well, you know what i mean, like drawing. But the limitation of technology nowday can't take that advantage *yet*. the screen is not that sensitive enough to make a perfect drawing like with Pencil and paper.

This agrument seem to be valid, keep it up man. ;) , i don't hate multi-touch device, because i have myself a HTC Titan and probably a Windows 8 Tablet soon.
[Windows 8 General] o2neouzr:
ok, you are a hardcore user, then just keep using the desktop. why are you mad that other people will get to use metro.

Tablets and apps are popular nowadays,so you cant ignore it. That is why windows 8 integrated metro. If you dont like it,you dont have to use it. Windows 8 desktop is bringing a bunch of new features as well. The OS is leaner and faster,and more secure.
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
Now i realized that we forgot about Kinect for PC... Are they trying to have us buy the kinect to use it for the metro UI on PC?
[Windows 8 General] bornotty:
I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU!
[Windows 8 General] adamwebb28:
Isn't the idea of Marketplace that it will have all types of Apps and full applications like Photoshop, office etc? Similar to the Mac App Store?
[Windows 8 General] Blacklac:
Hopefully this doesn't have much effect on the gaming industry, mainly shooters. First, they were dumb'd down for consoles, now they could be severely dumb'd down for Tablets. I shudder at the thought.
[Windows 8 General] spacetug:
There will probably be plenty of crossovers from other touch platforms (iOS, Android), but it shouldn't affect the *real* games.
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:
Microsoft has something called " Windows PC Game Marketplace" *if i am not wrong* already.

I have heard about it, i have seen it (Operation Flashpoint : Red River) but i never used it. Valve's Steam is the solution most people looking for. Even Origin can't compare to Steam.
[Windows 8 General] ZackehSoul:
"Games for Windows Live" I think is what you're referring to.
[Windows 8 General] Strike_Eagle:

I wonder if XNA games will play a large role in the Windows App store?
[Windows 8 General] molesarecoming:
i agree, although i have to admit it makes me happy seeing browsers decline. they are the scam of the decade. the browser is the most buggy application on my desktop, i need currently two (chrome, firefox) to do everything that i need, and still they slow down my system to no end, crash often, suck up bandwidth. html interfaces are ugly and slow, ineffective and a huge waste of resources. ebay, amazon, facebook, etc. look like crap, are unintuitive, change form everyday, respond slow, and have cheap interactivity. without browsers and html internet could be so, so much more.

apps, if done right, would save you 80% bandwidth, speed up the while process significantly. remember, a typical web-server vomits out data+huge html overhead for each and every operation, if design were implemented on the client-side and communication done through data-binding, no browser could ever stand a chance. pure, compressed data would speed through the cable - for many applications that would mean the end of having to wait for pages to come up for every click you make.

the real problem is that we are used to applications making a mess out of things, putting their dump where ever they please, implement their own installations, notifications, update listening-services which clog RAM, etc. the OS should function as a care-holder for applications, with centralized intelligence. apps should be signed, make known their services and let the OS manage. now windows has never made an effort to do that and i don't think they ever will. now this overlay box-tile-touch stuff is just silly, i don't know what they're thinking, they are not only evading the problem, they complicate the existing one. :(

Which app are you using? I tried YouMail and it never quite worked correctly. After I manually forwarded the number (the automated process didn't work), it never notified me of VMs.

Wish it worked, because I loved the caller id feature. So what are you folks using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicastro78:

I have noticed that on some phones in general upload speeds over wifi are weak regardless of the router you're connected to. Maybe that's the case for you as well?

I guys,

I'm new to this ROM things.

I want to install a ROM that don't bring me problems or bugs, and that got embedded all the usefull stuff.

At this stage, is better installing CyanogenMod 7.1 KANG RC-3.0 or Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1??

Which is more stable and has no bugs??

Or do you recommend me another ROM?

I currently have GB 2.3.5 Stock Rom via sammobile.com

Thanks =)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
I would recommend CM 7.2 RC1.

It's the most stable CyanogenMod for the gio right now and works just fine.

I would not recommend any other cyanogen, as they all have some issues right now.

If you want something closer to stock rom, go for particle rom.

You'll find all of them toghether with directions in the developers section here.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] stemciccio:
I think the better between this 2 rom is 7.2 Rc1..but there's another very good and stable rom..GioPro1.4..you can find it in development section ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deanwvu:
I do not see the appeal.

It's just as easy (easier, really) to swipe a credit card.

I do not see the advantage of making a purchase process more complicated--NFC requires a powered, active, working phone. What if the phone crashes? What if the battery dies?

A credit card is solid state, requires no power, and is usable just about anywhere...

Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
Did you get your $10?

I don't know about purchases but I have some cool ideas about things to do with my new NFC tags.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychoace:
It's the overall potential to removing all the clutter of having multiple credit cards with multiple bills and a wallet full of info that is hard to recover. If I lose my Wallet I have to call all my credit card companies and cancel all my cards then have to wait for them to resend them in the mail. With this I can easily recover with just a new phone. It sucks right now because not many people accept it but you are considered an early adopters if you join right now so there is going to be some teething pains you're going to go threw. Also think of this as like those key chain things that gas stations use for easier and faster gas purchases. It's like that but on a bigger scale
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deanwvu:
I did :) It was certainly worth $10 to give this a go!!

I can see that as an advantage, perhaps. Maybe there will be a day when I walk out of my door carrying only my ID, my phone, and my car keys, but not yet. I do not trust my phone to be working all the time every day. All it would take is one phone failure when I actually need to purchase something to sour the experience for good.

Again, when it comes to purchasing goods/services, I think simple is best. Time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
Security. Your credit card is an archaic tool rife with vulnerabilities. Chip based payment systems are arguably more secure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychoace:
Damn, I really got to stop typing long crap like that on my cell phone. I need punctuation damnit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I tried it a while back at Best Buy, especially since Google is handing out a free $10. Yeah, it's nothing special, but I like the idea of keeping some cash on there in case I ever leave my wallet at home. I've gone out of town on business before only to get 2 hours down the road and realize I don't have my wallet. I NEVER leave my phone. It's a good option to have.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
It's because you're now old school.

Don't worry I argued this same point - there's not much appeal when I have to carry a wallet anyway for my ID and some cash for places that charge for credit cards. Google wallet takes more work than paying for a card for me.

But I could see this being a fundamental shift in payment for younger generations who might have a phone but no real need for a wallet - who will grow up used to this system.

The real issue at the moment is battery life, I'm sure 5-10 years from now week+ battery life will be the norm and using phone for everything will become acceptable. Phones will also not be so fragile (cough iphone) so it will be as reliable as a piece of card (or almost).

Personally though, I think an NFC card would be way more convenient. It could be the size of a credit card, with a touch screen interface that lets you use it for payment or as a driver's license. But this kind of tech is probably at least 10 years away.

I think I'm a little confused by wallet. I know it wasn't inclued out of the box because of Verizon. I was able to download it from the market, install and activate it. I have the $10 and went to test it. I went to pay and the phone said sent but did not display the merchant for confirmation and the merchant didn't receive it either. They are supposedly setup for it. Do I need to grab one the other APKs and reinstall or is there any ideas you guys may have? I've searched plenty and saw no mention of what I'm experiencing.

I am on the fence, see the pros and cons with both...but eventually when the NYC MTA implements this technology broadly it would pretty sweet to use if you happen to misplace or forget your train ticket and/or metro card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
For now, I have to agree. It is less convenient than just using a card.

What would ultimately be really cool is to replace all those things we're talking about with just your phone. Unlock your house, start your car, verify your identity, pay for stuff... all with one device. But until I can ditch my wallet and keys entirely, it's just another way to complicate things instead of a solution to make life simpler. Can't wait for the future!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
I've now used it at about 5 different locations and it's pretty fast, with much potential. assuming you've entered your pin ahead of time, it's faster than paying with a physical card. my phone hasn't crashed for more than a month (since going to custom roms) and fcs are extremely rare. therefore it's as reliable as I expect it to be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
My phone gave me fits when I tried to use Google Wallet at Rite Aid. Fortunately the cashier mived the rest of the line behind me to a free register so I could keep trying, because I had to start over like 8 times. It's a nice gimmick for now, but it won't really be practical until more businesses support it and the bugs get worked out.

I see the appeal in that my phone is quickly becoming my life "tool"

First it integrated my iPod/music player, now does movies, now does hand held games, mobile web browser and email means its now used for work purposes... replicon now has timesheet app so it also records my time in/out of a job......google wallet is now what I use to pay for groceries at the store instead of carrying my wallet in my pocket and possibly loosing my wallet... if my phone is lost, they have to go through 3 passwords before getting to my wallet.

I used it at 7-11 yesterday just to test it with the free $10. It worked flawlessly but I don't see replacing my wallet until everyone accepts this interface.

I would use it more now if I was able to add my Wells Fargo debit card. Hopefully the ability to add any type of debit/credit card will be the next stag of evolution for this service.
