All 3 companies are very good at stealing each others ideas so I doubt any of them will suffer much from Windows 8. Fundamentaly all 3 do the same job, so it comes down too personal preference, with that I should say Mac fans wont buy Windows 8 and nor will Android Fans or visa versa. Windows 8 simply allows Microsoft to play with the other boys in the Tablet field. I don't believe its the killer blow that will knock the others out of the ring.
[Windows 8 General] Toss3:
I don't think it's going to do better than android, but it's going to gobble up a large portion of the market. WindowsPhone 8 is going to have support for MicroSD cards, native code and multi core processors, which all point to it being better than both iOS and Android. I'm honestly considering skipping the SGS3 and waiting for a Windows Phone "Apollo" phone instead.

WP7 is already the fastest OS of the three, and with support for even faster and better hardware, it's going to be just lightning quick.

Exciting times ahead! ;)
[Windows 8 General] Leigh Kennedy:
I don't agree so much with this. I'm a Mac and I own an Android phone.

I guess it is down to appreciating the software engineering side of things.

I love how my Mac "just works", however do not appreciate the way iOS devices seem to only be designed for children who need the restrictions and wouldn't do much else than play games, read, learn, etc.

I also appreciate Android devices for the freedom and endless opportunities.

Windows 8... It is pretty cool, however, I'd rather not a tablet that is prone to PC viruses AND locked to only the one OS. Apple are also guilty with the whole "locked to one OS" philosophy.

Then again, the Linux kernel is my preference over the bloated one from Microsoft.

It would be nice to stop insulting people who prefer efficiency more than complexity. It's getting old.
[Windows 8 General] ebzrascal:
I think the Microsoft strategy is starting to show itself and I with with in 18 months there will be more METRO devices than Android and even IOS...

I expect Microsoft to virtually give Windows 8 away for Free or at least very cheaply. This is because of the huge potential to make money from the APP STORE so they don`t need to charge much for the OS itself.

Now Windows 7 sold 400 Million Licences as of July 2011 so by Windows 8 release in say Oct 2012 there could be 600 Million Windows 7 PC`s in use...

If only 50% upgrade to a Windows 8 within six months you could be talking about 300 Million customers for METRO APPS a year from now. That is even before any new PC`s or Tablets are sold.

This could even impact the smartphone sales numbers going forward as Windows Phone 8 is likely to be very similar to Windows 8 thus increasing it`s awareness and familiarity to the average person.

With a potential market of 300 Million + customers ...I expect METRO APPS to look better and be more feature rich than Android and IOS APPS, I think this will help drive the sales of Windows 8 tablet hardware.

A year from now Android will be finished in the tablet game and Apple will have big big competition!!
[Windows 8 General] Leigh Kennedy:
Uh... Okay then.

Definitely nowhere near what I was intending to do.

Future is full of uncertainty, no body had ever thought that Nokia vl have to compete with other companies for selling dr product, there was time when N series was consider as kind of huge status but now we have only two major OS iOS n Android outrunning symbian. So just wait n watch how win8 gets ported to phones n tablets. :)
[Windows 8 General] Alexander-HTC:
Will Windows have something like Rosetta to support millions of existing programs on ARM? no.

I said programs, not apps because most people want Windows as they have a need to run Windows programs. That is why Linux and even Macs are limited in growth. And these programs are huge and hard to port due by developers due to libraries dependencies. Moreover, some of these program are specific for an industry/product and weren't updated for years, but people still need to use them. That is why Vista failed and people still use vulnerable XP, even when Windows 7 is out.

But do people need to have Windows to run apps? No. There is thousands of apps for Android and iPad. And I don't think that number of Metro apps will be greater than for Android at launch. So why anyone would want Windows on arm instead of iPad/Android?
[Windows 8 General] borjeboy:
Well android is still an os for mobilephones... It's not made for tablets. W8 will be good on a tablet so i think you are right..
[Windows 8 General] Leigh Kennedy:
Android on a tablet works quite well though.

Yes, I do look forward to seeing how Windows 8 would work, however, the UEFI is what I don't agree with.
[Windows 8 General] Leigh Kennedy:
The whole "locking the device to only one OS" is why I won't buy an iPad...

[Windows 8 General] Korhaan:
I think whoever gets the first mid-range tablet out at the right price point will win. This is total opinion, but my gut tells me the magic number for price is the $200-$300 dollar range for a mass market tablet. Saw glimpses of this during the HP Touchpad fire sale and the Kindle Fire before the user complaints of the device started coming in.

This needs to be a full featured tablet and not the ones that feel watered down that are currently offered at this price range. I think Android has the advantage but w8 could do well if they can offer something that is less clunky and can really nail the backward compatibility of x86 programs.

Okay keep in mind my limited flashing experience (until recently lol)

I flashed this package and checked my phone settings, all showed FC07 .. Baseband, Kernal and Build then I ran autoroot to install cwm and now I'm showing FC06 on Kernal which is normal, right because it was an FC06 repack with cwm and not FC07? Just want to make sure my phone isn't doing something weird here.

Thanks in advance :)

I've tried searching for this but I have found no solution. I'm a newbie that has rooted an A501,

Followed all the instructions and it has been working perfectly, but now my HDMI is not responding at all on my tablet. I plug in the cable and its not detected. I used a custom rom Alexandra lll. The cable is fine, it works on my wife's a500(not rooted).

Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

I'm using kernel 2.6.36.3HoneyVillian-3.4+, and rom Alexandra III Rev 1.1, if that helps at all.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanallen:
I have the good Wanamlite 9.0 on my SGII. Many thanks to him. I think however the problem is for ICS in general, because is identical in my TF101 with Revolver ICS.

I used to have my music in separate folders, each for every album and all went well in Gingerbread. Now the system doesn't find any songs anymore... and so no player can find my music, except for Poweramp... the only way is to put files all together in the first level folder, say "Music" in \sdcard or in external_sd or, I think, where you want but only in the first level folder.

It's impossible for me to mix 1300 or so songs all together...

Can anyone suggest to me a neat solution? :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOGMD:
Hi, i would first try using doubletwist to manage your data sync, then power amp for your actual player.

if it doesnt work, backup your phone and wipe it.

also make sure you upgrade to v9.1 released a few days ago

and if all else fails, flash to a 2.3 rom and then back to this ics see if it helps?

also using doubletwist you can just update your playlist on your computer and telll it to sync (mine only worked over wifi though on custom roms)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djarn:
I wish to start taking devices that already have Android, but versions like 2.2 and learn to Develope a new Rom for it, for example 4.0.

I don't want to port anything etc, I want to take a device, and start building the ROM fro scratch, I have tried searching this forum but I only get results regarding developing for Android, apps. I want to tackle the actual OS.

Does anyone know a good way to start, tutorials? Further Reading? Etc?

I don't like the idea of waiting for the Manufacturer to produce the next update, I'd rather do it myself and learn.

Thanks for any help.

OP, you keep your auto-brightness set to ON all the time?

That goes against anything I've ever heard about saving battery life. Leaving it on would mean the sensor's always running in the background, always adjusting levels based on ambient light, right?

It seems to me that having one setting for brightness could add even more to your already awesome battery life.

The large awesome screen on the ET4g, unfortunately, it is the biggest battery drainer. I think the display on time is a great guage to use when testing battery consumption.

I have gone over 2 days with 5hrs display on a single charge, and I have gone 15+ hrs with 7hrs display on a single charge. I think disabling auto brightness and turning 3g data off are the 2 most effective ways to stretch battery life. Undervolting and underclocking are also large contributing factors to consider.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackcanopy:
It looks like you may have a rouge app judging from your first screenshot. Alot of time awake while screen is off.. It looks like a wakelock going on. Download the app (if you haven't already) better battery stats. It will show you what is staying Wake in the background while the screen is off. I believe if you eliminate that, you will get even better battery life than what you have shown here.. I hope this helps someone.

I never noticed a difference in battery life between using auto brightness versus turning it off. Has anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
just like someone said, the biggest consumer of battery life is the screen display time. To measure it more closely with the minimized additional processes running, we may need to extend the screen timeout time something like 10 minutes and measure the battery life. If you use some tools or different builds, you may be able to turn on the screen forever until the battery's gone. If you do not have the option to turn on the screen forever, you may need to stand by to keep the screen on.

To be more fair, when you keep the screen turned on, only use the 'lowest' or 'highest' bright option because auto means that the result could be different based on your location's brightness.

If you are interested in this race, let's start the game!
