why should google be held to that standard? microsoft doesnt have to make drivers for all the motherboard, graphics cards etc... if that company wants to make a device thats got different hardware and design then its up to them to make sure its up to snuff.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Sprint restructure? Really? Thats as funny as a $2.00 crackhead hooker on Martin Luther King Blvd at 4:00AM in South Central LA going to Church the next day and finding the Holy Ghost!

Please, look at the phones they had available before? Lets not mention WiMax! The business model at Sprint is lay back and hide and don't take risk so we don't loose are jobs!! And the funny thing is, Sprint has more money than the other 3 cullular carries COMBINED, they can afford to take risk!!!

If you want, I can tell you about Sprints money!!!! (Or you can just go to the FTC and read about the ENTIRE nextel merger!)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Read the annual reports

Sprint had ($3.5B) net loss in 2010

Verizon had $2.5B net income in 2010

Sprint can't do a lot...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Thats mearly backdoor crap? Do you think Sprint is paying for LTE? Nope!! Remember, Uncle Sam gave them close to $30B to make Nextel go away so Sprint could buy new equipment!!!

Remembers when Sprint, AT&T, Verzion and T-mobile were friends and their team of sharks gang'ed up on Uncle Sam? Only good was, Sprint pulled some ghetto **** back door and mustered every penny then had and got Nextel for $20B+, knowing they were geting new ****, + some cash. Only problem for the other 3 carriers, Sprint had money in hand and made agressive move before the others could strike.

My brother braggs all the time at the bar how much he makes. Just because he can pull out 4 $50.00 bills and I only have $30.00 total don't mean he's won the "Loot" challenge, although HIM (and the women he buys drinks for) think so. (Hell, My photon cost more than he brings home in a month!)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I'm sorry...the numbers don't lie as they are filed to SEC. All they tell me is that Verizon has more freedom to move and invest and Sprint does not.

Look at their financial statements and especially at the cash flow. Sprint only has 250+ MM to play with as opposed to $6.7B. With that lack of flexibility, Sprint can't be aggressive like Verizon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
Lol they should make news reports the way you describe how things go down lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
OK, one more time. :D The numbers you speak of is cash in, cash out. Cool. I agree with you EXCEPT, (network wise) Verzion (and the rest of them) have cash in, and cash out. Sprint has cash in, PERIOD! yes, they have an Operating expense like every other business BUT, their network infastcure is being paid by you, me and joe blow taxpayer as part of the Nextel merger. Uncle Sam (FCC) wanted Nextel out of their air space and was willing to pay $30B+ (or whatever it was, Sprint paid like $10B less than the contract)

So, when Verzion wants to raise a $100K tower in, Penn State, PA. They go to accounting and ask, did that area make over $100K in business? Yes, put a tower there. No? where else can I put my tower with my $100K is worth it to my business?

Sprint, on the other hand, skips accounting. Put a tower in Penn State and tell the FCC we want a $100K check! Not only do they get free tower, better service, more customers.................and guess what? Even if your NOT on Sprint, casue verzion is not close, they pay Sprint roaming (sort of) for bandwidth.;)

[Motorola Photon 4G] asuh:
Yeah, I like my Photon alright, not that great or anything, but by Q3 I'm going to hopefully upgrade to a better Android phone with ICS already installed. September is the last month of my Premiere Gole upgrade, otherwise I'm stuck with this phone until next September. I am quickly growing uninterested in this phone the more I use it anyway. Maybe ICS will change that, who knows.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
If you read post #7, unless I am wrong. I was refering to Motorola hardware design. Not Sprint. Sorry :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
I'd much rather have an unlocked bootloader since it would allow me to get ICS anyway.

And much faster than 7 months...
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Unlocked bootloader is my vote too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
+ 11 million!

Motorola needs to get these bootloaders unlocked.

I have to laugh at the whole "ICS is coming soon!" posts.. I knew "soon" wasnt going to be soon. Most of us will have moved on by the time ICS drops. If HTC would come out with something new on Sprint, Id be gone in a heartbeat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfdriven:
The variations in the Razor were at the vendors request, and Google has a big say in design, they are the reason for the delay in the SGSII.

It is easy to set back and complain and say I would do this or they should do that but if you knew how things really work you would understand.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
moreso than that the sgs2 was the same size as the international and had hspa+

skyrocket was the same phone as the tmobile version (qualcomm chip and everything) now with lte, b igger battery and bigger screen size (NFC as well iirc)

you want proof of poor launching look at the vibrant, 4? months later they launch the vibrant 4g with froyo! while vibrant owners just sit there

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owen magnetic:
Formatting an SD card will wipe it totally clean, so yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I've never used it but I suspect it's the same as formatting sd card from settings / storage. You would lose all your photos, media files and everything else on your internal SD card.

[HTC Desire S] amzlondon:
Hi peeps, is anyone else having issues with reception on the desire s, i find when the phone is in my pocket, or if i am lying down with the phone under my pillow sometimes the signal just goes completely.. i have a app installed which alerts me when there is no signal so i am instantly aware of when it happens.. just wondered if anyone else has had the same problems and any solutions or reasons why this is happening..
[HTC Desire S] Silenti91:
i've never encountered this problem, maybe your in an aeria with bad reception? maybe it has something to do with your antenna being covered when its in your pocket or under pillow?

maybe you could try flashing new radio ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
there was a problem with desire s which was called the death grip, i believe (or something similar). I'm not sure if people still get it or just don't mention it but i believe it happened when there was pressure placed on the back of the phone. Try it. Just place your hand against the back of the phone (with slight force) and see if the signal drops.
[HTC Desire S] willywally93:
The death grip happens as you said, but it affects WiFi signal, not data signal. Personally I've never had data signal issues, apart of course when I'm on the mountains :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
:D That's what i thought too, but i looked at the original thread and the OP said he had huge drops in data signal too so i thought this could be similar to that.
[HTC Desire S] amzlondon:
I am in London, on tmobile so I doubt my area has bad reception as I still have full reception and connected to hsdpa.. I tried putting my hand on the back and with slight force I notice a 1 bar drop from full bars.. I advise people to get the no reception app which notifies you and logs when reception is gone and restored, you mite be experiencing it aswell but don't know about it when it is in your pocket
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
Hi all

I've installed some apps which have their folder on the sdcard with various images, sprites, sounds (one of these is a satnav app).

The problem is, these appear and clutter my gallery and music apps. I use both apps from motorola and not their google counterpart.

I already put a .nomedia file in the folders, rebooted the phone, cleared data on those apps, deleted thumbnail caches on the sdcard, and it doesn't work. They still show up.

So how can I do?

Thank you in advance
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
I've partially solved my problem with a media re-scan, triggered by renaming a folder containing media files (and then renaming it back)

The problem is that, if files into that folder change, because any app (or I) copies new stuff into them, all the hidden files pop up again in the gallery/media.

I wonder if it's an Android bug or a Motorola bug...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
I've had the same problem and I solved it by placing .nomedia files in the unwanted folders and then force a media rescan with the app "Rescan Media" (:eek:) from the market :)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
or using quickpix to create that file :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
Where did I say that? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
I tried media scanner but it doesn't work. (fyi i'm not rooted)

When I move music around (ie from the download folderr to the music folder) it gets duplicated in the music app, both motorola's and google's. Once i unmount and remount the sd card it sorts the problem on itself.

Same thing when I move images, the thumbnails get duplicated and only one of the two loads correctly, but I can't get them to disappear unless i delete my gallery's data, and then i lose all the video thumbnails. My gallery is now full of old thumbnails, gray "unknown" thumbnails, and thumbnails that don't load.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
As far as I know, you don't have to be rooted to use the app I linked. There is a more extensive version of the app that specifically requires root which is what I base my assumption on...

The app only forces the android internal media-scanner service to re-index all files and it does so without giving any sort of feedback. Once the app is started the media-scanner is triggered and the app seemingly does nothing, so you wouldn't get a confimation or anything...

As I said I had the same problem, but using .nomedia-files and the app solved it... Be aware that if you place a .nomedia-file in a folder the contents of that folder and it's sub-directories are being skipped by the media-scanner.

I'd recommend cleaning up all the directories and systematically copy a .nomedia file in unwanted directories. After that launch the app ance more and you should be set...
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
The problem is that, even if I put nomedia files everywhere needed, when I move files in/out of these dirs, they all pop up in Gallery/Music, including those that were previously hidden. And to solve this (talking only of Gallery now) I have to clear its app data. It would be just easier to hide the "all images" section of Gallery...

I miss the good ol android 2.1 times where you could fiddle with everything with any app without worrying for refreshes, etc...
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Give ".no_media" a try?
[Motorola Atrix 2] thenext1:
I never heard of such a magic file name...
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Neither have I, but ROM Toolbox uses it when it puts previews of boot animations onto my SDCard and the gallery doesn't pick them up.
[Motorola Atrix 2] armyengineer51:
Just use QuickPic from the market, if it's available to you. I've been using it for quite some time, install that and freeze the gallery app. Ability to hide certain folders is built right in.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
+1 to the QuickPic app...the stock Gallery SUCKS!!! I hide all the folders I do not want to be scanned and now I have a clean photo library. I also use PowerAmp for music since I hide my music folder so that I don't see album art and PowerAmp allows you to select folders to scan (regardless if there is a .nodedia file or not) instead of scanning everything. I believe Winamp will do the same thing, not sure.

[General Questions and Answers] conectix:
if i'm not mistaken, there is no big difference whether it displays bash# or user@home. as long as you see the hash tag, you are under the super user or root.
[General Questions and Answers] thgramos:
The bash prompt probably was not exported so it back to it's default when you open another shell.

The prompt can be changed to whatever you want, using PS1="my_prompt".

You want your prompt to be export PS1="\u@\h:\W\$ ". You can add it to the initial command (add an semicolon as a separator if you have other initial command). Don't forget to left an space to the final of PS1 or your commands will appear concatenated with the prompt.

As conectix said, the only important character is the last one: if it is a sharp the shell is executing as user, and if it is a dollar then you have root privileges.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Another thing to observe is that in the post you mentioned was said that a shell is open, what fits on what I said above.

Another observation is that sh and bash are different shells. On my Terminal Emulator the default shell is sh. So if I type 'bash' it enters on bash shell and the prompt changes. Once I exit (typing 'exit') of bash it returns to sh with a simple dollar prompt (which is wrong because I'm running as a user).

You can verify your prompt by typing 'echo $PS1'. On mine it just have a dollar with an space.
[General Questions and Answers] F4LLCON:
Oke sure thank you for this, but why can't I use "ui" ?

it will say that the command is not found but in the tutorials and videos on youtube you can see that after they do this they immediately get a red "root@localhost:~#" instead of the "bash-4.1" and after they enter "ui" it works for them. I do exactly the same but get to command not found error.
[General Questions and Answers] thgramos:
Probably the command ui isn't in your path. The path is where your shell searches for the binaries to execute.

You need to locate the ui binary (his path) and export a new path:

export PATH=$PATH:[B]ui-binary-path[/B]

Where ui-binary-path is the path (directory) where the ui binary is located.

PS: You need to reply me so I'll be notified of your response.
[General Questions and Answers] abhishek@bhava:
This can help you to get solution

Try executing list of following commands:

cd /etc/profile.d/

vi bash_prompt.sh and type: export PS1='[\u@\h \W]$ '

su - root

Hope so the problem is fixed :fingers-crossed:

[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Yes, although I would HIGHLY recommend ordering from monoprice.com and not some shady Japanese factory.

I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Nothing has been confirmed that we will get USB Host support after ICS. But that would be the adapter that would do if it is going to work. However, I would highly recommend getting an adapter cable, and not just an adapter. That adapter will put a LOT of stress of your usb port and will end up breaking it sooner or later. Get a cable ( say 6 inches or 1 foot) with the same ends, it keeps the stress off the port.

[Atrix 4G General] RobUncorked:
I wasn't able to use the OTA updates once I rooted (even before I unlocked my bootloader). Of course, that could be Bell building in a check. I even tried unrooting (using GingerBreak) and that still wouldn't allow me to use an OTA update.

I would think you'll have to root, unlock bootloader, and then flash an firmware file from this tread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944.
[Atrix 4G General] psychephylax:
Actually, you're right in that the OTA update will probably fail without me going to a more "out of the box" state. I suppose I'd have to first create a nandroid, a titanium backup then flash my phone with a 4.5.91 stock image using fastboot, do the OTA, then re-root, and restore the titanium backup to get back to where I was. And if anything fails restore from my nandroid.

Does that sound right?
