[General Questions and Answers] martonikaj:
It means that not all Android devices are up to date, and they're all running slightly different software versions and manufacturer overlays.

For example there are tons of phones with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), some with 2.2 (Froyo), and a few still on 2.1(Eclair) or 1.6 (Cupcake). The latest Galaxy Nexus has 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and most tablets are still running 3.2 (Honeycomb).

Of the phones on 2.3, all of these phones have slightly different versions of 2.3, with HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz, etc. that make these all look and act differently. People complain because there are no consistent UI paradigms across different devices. If you pick up an HTC phone then a Samsung phone they look completely different.

So right now, only ~1% of Android devices are running the latest software (even though ICS is months old), consisting of devices like the Galaxy Nexus and Transformer Prime pretty much. Contrast that with iOS, where probably 90% of devices have the latest version (save for iPhone 2G and 3G, which got kicked off the update path), and when the new version is available,

all devices get it at the same time

. Windows Phone is similar, in which when there is an OTA, pretty much all manufacturers and carriers push the update, and about 85% are running WP7.5 (latest version).

If you want an editorial opinion, I think Google needs to learn from how Apple and Microsoft are doing their updates and controlling their OS. Fragmentation is bad for the ecosystem, bad for users, and bad for Google. They need to start putting the screws to manufacturers to stop putting skins on Android (for example withhold GAPPS from those who skin), and start hitting the carriers to push OTAs in a timely matter.
[General Questions and Answers] Wakamatsu:
You got that right. The reason the Samsung Galaxy S series isn't getting an official ICS is because they haven't figured out a way to cram Touchwiz into it. In their view, that's the deal breaker.

On the plus side, it's pushed people like me to XDA. I was quite content with the official Gingerbread but now I wonder why I waited so long before jumping into custom ROMs.

[General Questions and Answers] iJchen:
A lot of Android phones aren't getting updates after a few months of being released. This causes major fragmentation. iPhones have fragmentation too, as the older models can't run iOS 4.3 and above.
[General Questions and Answers] martonikaj:
Yes very true, but only very old models. Even the 3GS got iOS 5, and that is coming up on 3 years old. And the 2G and 3G got updates for about as long as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigTortoise:
I have tried Teamhacksung, ICSSGS, Fusion, and a few others, but every one I flash leaves me with the same problem. I never had it on and Gingerbread roms or froyo.

My phone is constantly shutting off at random times during the day with no explanation. One minute I'm using my phone and the next it's just off. It's never shut off while I'm using it but if I set it down and come back to it later it will be off.

Anyone else had this happen to them and possibly find a solution?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
Try flashing a different kernel??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigTortoise:
Should have mentioned I tried that as well, but not many. If you have one to recommend I'd try anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick0703:
I would say try using the glitch kernel. And btw are you on GB bootloaders?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigTortoise:
I' using Glitch right now and I have no idea about the bootloaders. How should I find out?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
He has to be if he has flashed ICSSGS successfully.

But the random shutdowns and things like that are typical bugs of beta ROMs. I remember having these problems all the way back in froyo. Try different setups with kernels and see whats the most stable for you. If you have to have a rom that never messes up try a gingerbread based ROM until ICS gets a litte more stable. Also if you are overclocking or undervolting I highly suggest removing them both to improve stability.

Hey guys, anyone with weird bugs or issues after updating to ICS?

My TF was fine until I realised the homescreens tend to empty out after a period of usage :-( i have to restart to get back the screens. I still can jump to recent apps though. seriously strange!!

Any advice guys? Factory reset?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGuy:
Touch screen responsiveness

Hi,

I've not updated to ICS yet (in UK, waiting for 1 of the wonderful dev's here to release a tweaked ICS ROM) but there's a few reports around the forums of people experiencing lag on the touch screen, that it's even worse than honeycomb in some cases.

Is everyone having this problem? I use the touch screen with a stylus and the lag in revolver, although relatively small in comparison with stock HC, is still only just tolerable. Much worse and I think the touch screen would be useless for writing.

Thanks in advanced,
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpe351:
Anyone with launcher lag issues with the native launcher can install Apex launcher or Nova Launcher (Google search) as a system app and use it. I prefer Apex due to the tunability. Performance so far has been really smooth on the TW ICS. I modded the build.prop to show as a US tablet. Everything is working so far for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevj:
I'm on the stock unrooted FOTA ICS in the UK (still not investigated rooting yet, after recently buying this secondhand and doing a factory reset). I've not noticed the touchscreen lag but have had a problem with auto-resetting!

On two occasions now, the machine has reset itself with no warning. The stock Browser has also quit and lost all open tabs once, but that's not quite so serious.

Has anyone else observed similar behaviour? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevj:
That's a "no" then? Is there a more appropriate thread? Maybe I should contact Asus.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Grrreg:
I was running galaxian soup ROM 1.4 and wanted to flash to 1.5.1. Unfortuantely I was not paying as much attention as I should have been and cleared the cache before doing a wipe cache worked ok, dalvik cache got part way through and tehn rebooted.

Now the device wont boot into the OS and instead reboots into recovery. When in recovery, attempting to do a wipe or a flash or a dalvik cache clear all start and then reboot.

Anyone have an idea on next troubleshooting steps? ANy help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.

I used odin to get to stock based on the instructions and files in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

The process seemed to work, the odin screen gave me a green pass

and the device reboot but when it did it just reboot to this screen.

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] neubauej:
That's a bad flash..

Redownload the ROM and flash again.

Gotta love when Odin brain farts.

Edit; failing that follow the overcome restock instructions and all should be well.

Goodluck!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
In my case, usually when coming back from the ICS Betas, some weird stuff happened with my tablet in more than one occasion. Errors with partitions to sum it up. The only way to make the tablet boot once more into Honeycomb was...selecting the nuke (wipe/factory reset in the Stock Recovery) making me lose all SDcard contents. I don't know whether this also applies to you or not, but keep it in mind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
I have this case for my Galaxy 10.1 and I want something similar for my Prime, but I cant find it. Maybe I'm using the wrong search words I don't know but if anyone knows where I can find one please post a link. This case has been great I have a dock but don't use it as much as I thought I would, I just need something simple like this, it feels real nice to hold also, its been one of the best purchases I've ever made. I want the case to cover everything but the slots no corners left open, everything covered except plug holes, the type that has the rubberized gel silicone type feel to it. Here is a link to the one I have for my Galaxy 10.1, I'm looking for something pretty much the exact same as this Protective Silicone Skin Cover http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056397UK/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details

Solid choice...

Great choice. That's the case I have and I've been very pleased with its quality, light weight, and snug fit. I also like that it is completely cut out around the speaker (identical competitor cases from Poetic, Mako, and others are not). You can also charge it while it's in the case and closed! Trust me, you'll be very happy with your choice.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
I just redid my whole phone. I'm on el29/calkulin 2.9 the market place won't stop crashing, i can't get it to install or update anything. I wiped my dalvik, replaced the market apk and cleared its updates and cache. WTF is wrong with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
Did you flash the latest gapps and/or try to fix permissions?

Also try clearing the cache.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
I would start from scratch with a new flash. Skip restoring backed up apps, install them from the market, then scrap your app back ups and make new ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
just did, now it doesn't crash, but it still can't install anything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prasket:
I did a quick google search for you and found c couple of things you could try out..

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

i did end up fixing it by logging on the android market place on my computer https://market.android.com/?hl=en then i signed in using my gmail account and started installing a bunch of apps and some how it started getting pushed to my phone. and then within like 15 mins, i could just brows the market place on my phone and download and install apps. so my recommendation is to try installing a bunch of apps via the marketplace using your computer and then wait 15 min and then try it on your phone....

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

Hey i had been searching a week for a solution to this problem and this worked for me

"SOLUTION:

NOTE: You WON'T lose all your installed apps if you do this (at least I didn't). However, if you clear the data for Settings, you will lose your preferences. Try doing it w/o clearing the data for settings, then if that fails do it again and clear the Settings data.

1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

2. Press All (or Show All, etc.)

3. Clear Data for the following Apps (if data is clearable):

- Account and Sync Settings

- com.google.andriod.feedback

- Gmail (and Gmail Storage if it is there)

- Google Services Framework

- Google Voice

- Maps

- Market & Market Updater

- Network Location

- News and Weather

- Search

- Sound Recorder

- Talk

- TTS Service

- Voice Search

- VPN Services

- World Newspapers

- YouTube

- Settings (Settings will close when you clear its data)

I don't use the email client app (not the Gmail app but the one simply called 'Email'), so I don't know if you'll need to clear its data or not. If all else fails, try it (I imagine you'll lose any downloaded emails).

4. Clear the data for any apps associated with any of the above listed apps.

5. Clear the data for any other applications affiliated with Google or your Google account.

6. Clear the data for any applications that aren't uninstallable, i.e. 'built-in' applications.

7. Reboot and you're done. Google Talk should work correctly now.

I'm sure this is overkill. Some of these apps may not have anything to do with the problem but when I cleared the data for them and rebooted, Google Talk worked correctly. Also, I am using an Archos 70 IT so you might have some different requirements for this procedure on your phone/tablet. BTW I got the Google Talk error when I changed the password on my primary Google account.

Good luck!" via dumb_nobody on the xda-developers forum

Hope this helps, i was going insane and this finally worked. :)

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

Deleted my google account, rebooted phone. Clicked market, re-added my google account and it was sorted!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fwelland:
Been thru 3 car docks for my note, and have landed on an OK solution. For starters, I have a mini club man - which doesn't have lots of options for dock mounting.

Try 1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386908 worked well for a while, but it broke, certainly due to my mods. Overall this dock's carrier tray worked OK with a case, my note stayed put. But the mount arm was difficult to position in my mini (hence the mods).

Try 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windscreen-...7000-i9220-small-/200679521242#ht_1759wt_1165 I thought I could hack up the tray a bit to make it work with a case -- nope.

Try 2.5: the exo gear mount mentioned several times before: http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html This works OK, with the case. There is a some play and movement once my note is clipped in; with a tilt or 2 you can get seated in a pretty secure fashion. But -- the mounting arm doesn't provide many mounting options in a mini.

Try 3: http://cdslotmount.com/ and the exo gear mount. This is working well. May not be as good as the mountek option (http://mountek.com/ which is hard to find -- sold out everywhere!) but it is working.

Here are some pics! Hope this helps someone.

[Kindle Fire General] sizlak:
So I had no problem installing or physically using the market app. The problem comes when I search for apps in the market. Every time I see a thread about must have apps I search for said apps and only find half or less. Real racing 2, Gta 3, even Google f'in maps all come up with nothing. I have tried every version of the market I can find to no avail. I figure there must be some other problem, and I just don't have the intelligence to figure it out. Is it possible the market checks for device compatability? Regardless, you guys are smarter than I can ever hope to be and seem helpful for the most part.

I would tell you what I rooted with and what market version I am using but it all got lost when my last laptop crashed. Yes, I know, longest post with no info ever. My bad.

UPDATE

I no longer have a computer and did not get any further in my quest to get the full market before my computer died. I probably could have just edited this post instead of posting a reply (third post) but I don't use forums much. So if you know of a way to get the full market without a computer it would be most appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] izomiac:
Check out this thread.

Now, that developer has stated that he will not support stock, so I would not use his build.prop if you're using stock. What I did was to modify my own build.prop. Comment out (put a pound symbol: "#" at the very start of the line) any lines in your build.prop that start with either ro.build or ro.product, and add any line starting with those strings from the linked build.prop.

Now, realistically, I would expect that the linked build.prop to work on stock, but the developer has explicitly said you're on your own if you try. You can mess up your device by playing with build.prop, but the ro.build & ro.product lines should be relatively safe to change. Plus I have my own tweaks I prefer, so that's all I took from his version.
[Kindle Fire General] 85gallon:
Check out the first post in this thread. I found this as a work around for the not compatible crap.

You have to follow it to a T

I just installed Real Racing 2 on my KF running CM7 Short version... Pay attention to browser vs market....

You may need to go to market.android.com in your browser first and log out if you are already logged in. (cookies)

1. Using browser google the app name.

2. Scroll until you see the link to the app on market.android.com.

3. Click that link in browser.

4. If you get a pop-up that asks to use browser or market, select browser.

5. A pop up will ask you to sign in. Sign in.

6. It will then ask you what to use to complete action, browser or market. Select market.

7. There will be an install button on the left of the page that describes the app, reviews, etc. Select install and then accept permissions.

8. It will download, but there will be an exclamation point at the top saying it is not compatible with your device, but if you look in your status bar, it will show that the app downloaded by the little check box inside a square icon.

9. Click that and finish the process. When I clicked the link in status bar, it then prompted me for the full 600 meg additional download for the game.

It finished the download and installed. I am now looking at the "Player Settings" screen and music from the game is playing on the KF.

The link posted above was for installing magiclocker main which, if you go through the normal process using the market app, is not available and doesn't come up in search . But if you do it as described, it will work.

(now to uninstall Real Racing 2 'cause I'm not a gamer) :P
[Kindle Fire General] sizlak:
Yes I am bringing this back from the dead because I have made no progress. It is only my fault though. Long story short, my fire is my only connection to the Internet now. I have no computer and did not get to flash a new Rom or update my build.prop before it died. Same general question as before about the market, but with a new more difficult situation. I figure I am screwed but I don't like to give up easily. Thanks again.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kja4kc:
Hi,

I hope someone can help me, because I was unable to find any forum with these conditions. So I originally had CM7's latest on my g2x. I was messing around with some kernal and at this point I'm on Kernal: 2.6.32.45-Trinity-G2x. I had changed to a kernal previously without wiping cache or data and it caused it to start boot looping. I eventually managed to reset firmware to stock with nvflasher and get clockmodrecovery on there, but the phone still boot loops from time to time and I still have no service, battery status or SD card access (on phone or computer). Please help.

Thank you.
