[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve10:
Windows Phone's Bluetooth support is abysmal, but you know what's worse: Samsung's support for Bluetooth on Windows Phone. Their last firmware update for the AT&T-branded Samsung Focus reduced out-of-call Bluetooth volume so that it's way too soft and text-to-speech is impossible to use because you can't hear it. If you turn up your Bluetooth headset or car volume to compensate, then in-call volume is way too loud. There is no fix or solution, except to restore the old firmware through Zune's backup. I've been running 2103.11.3.3 instead of 2103.11.8.1 for about 5 months now. I couldn't be more furious about Samsung and AT&T's lack of urgency to fix, or even acknowledge this. I'd even deal with the disappearing keyboard (as I have anyway) if it means keeping Bluetooth working. Regardless, after this experience I will never buy a Samsung phone again.

Not sure about which one is the best, but I ordered the Ainol Novo7 Elf about a week ago.

Mostly the same specs, but it has 1GB of RAM and a 1024x600 display.

Hi

Hi i'm deciding between these 2. How is the ainol performing? Or should I get the viewpad 7e?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MB-:
It's a shame none of these have bluetooth thus can't use a dual shock 3/sixaxis on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Its pretty good. ICS launchers are a bit laggy on it, but not too much. On slatedroid there's a ROM that is based off the stock one, but cleaned out of the Chinese apps and has some extra tweaks and has the market with a mmodified build.prop so you get more apps. (Fools the market into thinking the Elf is a galaxy tab 7)

3D games work like a charm on it though :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadlyizzy:
After reading a lot of "reviews", I'm sold on it. The ainol has the mips processor so most programs will not work with for they are written in the arm architecture.

My company's exchange server requires a pin unlock, I just noticed that after removing the email account the pin unlock worked correctly. When I add the account back and get the message that a pin is required, then the above behavior starts.

Hi,

I am facing some serious issues while using mobilevoip app. Before I was using GingerDx v022 with alfs , It was working properly.

Now, I changed to Mini CM 2.1.9 by Naa with Naa Kernel V11, I can use the app first time only. It will log in & work properly. After logout and I tried to run it again it won't connect any more. But I found a temporary solution by pressing "Clear Data" in manage application settings.

Do any body have idea what could be wrong?

[Android General] Guru Zeb:
People don't seem to understand a lot of the phone company litigation (despite Apple being the clear market leader on spurious litigation) is tit for tat, and it was that way in mobile phone manufacture before Apple came along.

In many cases both (or even more ) companies all use patent infringement against each other as nothing more than a leverage tool. Bit like a wild west card game where everyone has sawed off gauge under the table.

What often happens is ........ essentially nothing, the lawyers get rich and the marketing depts screech about stolen tech (often tech that was developed by other companies ages ago), but behind the scenes everyone agrees to allow use of their stolen tech.

Sounds bonkers but it happens a lot, think companies litigate to see if any competitor will blink, But its like a card game .... everyone has a hand and the result is often a classic Mexican stand-off.

This seems like one of the main reasons Google acquired Motorola (in case you where wondering) Google with Motorola's old patents is a PROPER mobile phone contender (Google has its own gun under the table now mofos), without the patents they would have been very vulnerable to the court room battle tactic, now they can just play the same game.

As litigate and counter litigation can actually stop phone manufacture and sales for everyone involved as manufactures can be legally forced to halt sales or production .... if everyone involved fires a suite at the others ........ everyone gets shut down ...... so you see there is a perverse self interest in everyone eventually agreeing to carry on as before the litigation.

I know it sounds nuts, yes they do spent millions on these cases, often to achieve nothing but the same equilibrium that existed before the court case.

even better....

http://phandroid.com/2012/02/16/goo...finds-work-around-for-apples-slide-to-unlock/

to be honest this whole patent fight b/w the two is getting a little redic. The Apple v. Samsung dispute that includes apples slide unlock is absolutely absurd to begin with. Apple filed for that patent AFTER another phone manufacturer had already had a device out using it. Which was the basis for one judge dismissing the patent all together. Fact that its gotten through others is comical to me...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
This could be more of a "themes-and-apps" thing if it wasn't happening on my system with such depressing regularity, and it is a question..

I've tried simiClock, Beautiful Widgets and currently on mClock this past week or so, and every one has frozen at least once a day (Beautiful Widgets couldn't manage much more than a couple of hours without freezing).

Multiple reinstalls of said apps hasn't helped, neither has cache/Dalvik wiping and reflashing stock ROm and various kernels. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the majority of my apps without success. Rebooting works temporarily, but is obviously not a real soution. Analogue clocks such as, er, Analog Clock and Transparent Clock work fine.

Thanks for any help. Currently on the ROM in my sig with Redpill kernel, no OC or UV, and is flawless apart from this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
Because you're using a task manager that kills the updater services.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
No I'm not. Have never installed any kind of task manager/Tasker/app killer/Defender/firewall etc.

Installed PDroid yesterday, but have yet to open it. When I do so, I won't be configuring any app at all without reading carefully about permissions etc. And the problems predate yesterday.

All other apps which need updating - currently only weather - do so fine. Tried uninstalling snowstorm in case there was a conflict there, didn't help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
If anyone's interested - doubtful, but useful for future reference if anyone else has these problems - I tried and failed miserably with all the above apps all night.

All froze, and randomly. Not one managed more than 4 hours. Checked wakelocks with betterbatterystats - there were none.

They are now uninstalled and ain't coming back...

Installed the imaginitively named Digital Clock Widget, which has worked/is working perfectly.

Still no idea what broke the other apps - but since they don't play nice with my phone, it's the naughty step for them.

Well, I do not like French comedy neither.

Well. About your problem. Maybe you should look at your logcat. But are those apps installed on your SD card, or just installing some files on it? Maybe that could be the issue.

Or something is killing them. For some reasons. Too aggressive taskkiller? What ROM are you running?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Krinyo's SlimROM - see my sig. Used it more or less exclusively since November, bar a custom ROM to see if these apps worked - and they didn't.

No apps on my external SD - never seen the point, 16 GB internal is more than enough.

No task killers or similar at all. Never have.

What confuses me is I'd never tried any non-analog clock before, but the first three "digital" displays just wouldn't work.

Beautiful Widgets was especially problematic - and overrated, IMHO. Not particularly beautiful, clock FUBAR and inaccurate weather forecasts. Meh... Didn't exactly cost much, but a 1* rating is on its way to the market.

Digital Clock Widget and Snowstorm are working great together, but I find it faintly ridiculous that I'm checking them hourly to make sure. They damn well

should

work.

Not read about anyone else with these problems - guess I'll have to file it under "**** happens"...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Oui. As said above (L1 and LA4). Haven't tried any other custom ROMs. Krinyo's ROM didn't originally come with the stock clock package, but made an update.zip of it. Same result with and without.

By the way, been following your AOSP ROM work. I'm impressed. Hope I don't sound too condescending, but someone your age, producing such work, and your English is so good - chapeau:p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradoxxx:
Hum. I wonder what could make "**** happen". I had this before. With simi clock. But never get what actually cause it. May could be kernel related. Try another one? Or try with another base. Like AOSP? :p

Hehe. Thanks sir! That's appreciated!

There aren't so many French teens interested in coding neither Android. But I'm slowly converting my friends from IOS crap, to Android. But its a hard task.

Oh, just another idea. What launcher are you using? Try with another one too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Glad I'm not the only one. Seems to be the more options with the clock widget, the more my problems have escalated.. If Digital Clock hadn't worked I'd have gone back to an analogue clock.

Don't think it's important - but what the hell do I know - but I've always used JKay's tweaks. I don't want nor will ever have a clock in my status bar, so I'm not trying without.

Stock, NEAK, Siyah and Redpill kernels tried. LauncherPro and adw launchers tried.

Haven't used TW for centuries. Not going to either.

Love my black theme on Krinyo's ROM too much to try yours - sorry:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradoxxx:
Hum. The few times I played with Jkay stuff make me think it is not the problem. I think, the build in taskkiller is too much aggressive in the ROM you use. Just try another Sammy ROM to be sure. Well, at least its not kernel/launcher related, so its ROM related.

I don't know about you guys but for a while now, I've been so fed up and angry with Apple and their "business tactics" of trying to stop production of Android devices by using patents. Well now, Google is finally going to see some justice!!

The picture below, is a patent filed by Google for, you guessed it, the notification pulldown that was a "new" feature recently released in iOS5. The only thing that makes me mad about all this.......Google filed for this patent in 2009!!!!!! It's just now in the approval/denied process. However, due to the fact that this was an Android exclusive feature, there should be no issues with this getting approved. I really hope Google uses this to their advantage (which I'm sure they will). What are your thoughts on this?

Here's an exact description for the patent:

“A computer-implemented user notification method includes displaying, in a status area near a perimeter of a graphical interface, a notification of a recent alert event for a mobile device, receiving a user selection in the status area, and in response to the receipt of the user selection, displaying, in a central zone of the graphical interface, detail regarding a plurality of recent messaging events for the mobile device.”

Here's a little story on it from phandroid.com

http://phandroid.com/2012/02/17/goo...tion-pull-down-bar-yeah-back-in-09-fun-facts/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] casacristo:
There are a number of chinese dual sim phones using the chipset MTK6573

Unfortunately the manufacturer has chosen to be very secretive about the kernel and

1) Has not published the source code

2) Has not included the kernel .config file in the compilation

3) Has not compiled ext2, ext3 or ext4 support in the kernel

In an effort to overcome some of those limitations I have gathered the exact same version of the android kernel used in current roms (2.6.35.7) and tried to come up with a configuraration that produces modules (.ko) that can be loaded and used from MTK6573 based devices.

Instructions for compiling the kernel:

Pre-requirements:

a) check with uname -a in your device that the kernel version is 2.6.35.7

b) Download this file with the kernel source and the arm toolchain:

http://www.ziddu.com/download/18628468/androidkernelANDtoolchain.rar.html

1) Unpack the .rar file and extract the toolchain to your home folder

2) Extract the kernel sources somewhere you like

3) Open a bash terminal and cd into the folder containing the kernel source

4 ) make -j8 ARCH=arm menuconfig

That should open a menu and you will be able to modify options, the chosen system is a qualcom MSM as this is the closest thing I could find to the MTK6573

5) Compile with:

make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/code/distro/kernel/arm-2011.03/bin/arm-none-eabi-

6) to test the ext2.ko module

adb push fs/ext2/ext2.ko /data/local/

adb shell

insmod /data/local/ext2/ko

7) Try to mount an ext2 partition
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
We are really trying to overcome this situation and all the help is appreciated.

So far all the ext2.ko modules built can be loaded without any error, but as soon as the mount command is issued the phone immediately reboots. I can't even log anything. Any ideas?
