What marketing? Selling iPhones at 1000$ and it has lower specs than Galaxy S2, which is found at 700$ in Romania, and higher quality, freedom, and lot more better hardware.... lets not talk about macbooks... 2000$ Facebook machines, useless over Windows... why would some1 pay 2000$ for something worse than what they can get at 400$??? I have a PC with windows 7 better than any macbook at the time I bought it, and I can do anything I want with it... what can you do with a macbook you can't on windows??? I can list thousands of games that are not on Mac nd are on windows, and I can only list 1 game that is not on windows and is on mac...

Apple arent marketing kings because they have low market share

OMG. Counter Strike On Android! http://cs-portable.net/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
You guys are just unbelievable. Never seen fanboys his excited. don't get me wrong, I love Android for all its capabilities and never would get a iPhone... but That one guy who said that iPhone is a Marketing king is well.. CORRECT. Apple markets towards all ages. It shows that their app store has games which can target the entire youth, and it also advertises all the business worthy apps/features it has. We all know Android can do the same, if not better... But think about it from an AVERAGE person's PoV. Most people want a phone that does what they want, they don't give a damn about specs and Apple knows that and they use that, and I don't blame them. If you ran Apple, would YOU really consider spending 5x what you pay for the specs currently only to make people happy? From a Business standpoint, Apple is well above Android.

Quality over Quantity.

There are THOUSANDS of Android phones, why in the name of god would it NOT have a larger market share?

Apple has what is it.. 6 iPhones in total?

Their shares are almost up to $600, and in this short of time, For me they are Marketing Kings. There are things called FACTS. Apple has been known to be a better marketer than any Android manufacturer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamSnah:
for me it's the possibility to make choices about how I want my device set up.

android offers the best choices (for me) on customizing my devices.

I have alot of apple fanboys as friends, and they can`t understand why I'm not part of their group..

my answer to them is always:

use what is best for you.

I can see that for a user not interested in always flickering with setup, an iphone can be better. I even recomended a ipohne to my sister (living in another city), since she have no interest in tampering with setup and stuff - and have noone around her to ask for help.

for my mother and wife the choice was the same phone as I have (galaxy SII), since they then can let me set up their phones and get support if they run into trouble. they now are very happy with phones that suits all their needs.

same ROM on all 3 (mine, mom and wife) - completely different setups.

all 4 of us are very happy, having what is best for us.

so to summarize:

android gives the option to choose what you want/need, if you have an interest in flickering a little with it - it will be a much better phone than an iphone in my humble opinion (I have no experience in anything else than android and iphone, so I can`t compare to winphones etc..)

choose what is best for you, be happy with it - and stop trying to convince everyone else that it`s the only correct choice for them also :-)

Thank the Gods someone is capable of some rational unbiased analysis ........ i seriously thought that this entire thread was going to just be clueless myopic teen fanboys.

9 pages and about 6 posts that make any actual sense.

Am a HUGE fan of Android too, but as is often the case with young men there is a serious lack of comprehension of the real world market going on in this thread.

How so many of you (even with the excuse of inexperience and youth) can fail to understand that THERE IS NO BEST OS!!!!!!!, just like there is no best pasta dish, no best clothing style, no best music style, etc, etc. All is dependent on your wishes and requirements.

What all to many of the idiotic sounding fanboys in this thread seem to have missed is the simple fact NOT EVERY ONE HAS THE SAME NEEDS AS YOU!!!!!!, but that does not make their choices bad ones ...... just different from yours.

Android is a win since it's open source and it's based on linux :D

I know some might say that mac os is based on linux but what apple did is just taken freedom from linux and charged quite few notes for it. I used to have macbook and imac but at the end of the day I ended up with pc laptop running linux anyway. feels better, feels like i have more freedom and cost is around 1/4 of a 15" macbook.

apple will still have massive customer base if we like it or not since they aim for non geek users. simplicity is what makes iphone and rest of the offering from apple a great success.

I have nothing against apple but when i read something like this it's starting to be scary.

I have always liked Microsoft operating systems cause they run everything and don't make me user proprietary software to do what I want. (ie wm had mad storage mode) now androids too k over where Microsoft left off. I don't want zune or iTunes on my computers to put files on my phone, and I don't want to rely on "the cloud either" android just work for me, and is very stable. I'm on day 8 of uptime right now without a hitch. I hope win 8 is something great so that android is really forced to do even better. For me ios isn't even worth talking about, it is nothing I want.

I've only had my HTC Vivid for about 2 weeks now, and I'm still learning.

I wouldn't mind a tablet, as my Dell XPS1530 laptop is on its way out. And I've been looking at this very tablet (Prime). But there's a lot of information on the webz in regards to failures of the hardware, specifically WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth.

And for $499, that is a pretty heafty price tag, coupled with that, just about all retailers are out of stock. You can still get one, but you'll get raped in pricing from eBay and Amazon.

But as for current titles topic I would think new ipad is better but a 4:3 format hd screen seems stupid for any modern device as videos and tv shows are in 16:9 format so any video has to be streched and / or cropped to fit or else the extra pixels are effectively useless as they make up the black bars at top and bottom of a video.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawman27:
Continuing along droidstyle's train of thought, I think you should try flashing a new modem. Go to section 7 of his guide and flash the one called EC09. Please let us know what happens.

Just to be clear, you are a Verizon customer in the U.S., aren't you?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aconrad12:
Did what you suggested with no luck, same problem.

Yes i am a verizon customer in the U.S

I should mention when i try to make a call i get a message saying "we can not authenticate your phone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawman27:
Try doing a full Odin reset, as laid out in droidstyle's guide. When you boot up, you'll be on stock bloated gingerbread. From there, do a factory reset through the Settings --> Privacy menu. When you boot back up, you'll be prompted to program your phone just as you did when you pulled it out of the box. Follow the prompts, pushing 1 to program.

Hopefully, you'll have a signal and 3g by then. If not, you may want to call Verizon. From there, you can continue following the guide to do whatever you want to do.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
i think you should try activating another smart phone your line then reactivate the fascinate...also known as esn swap.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aconrad12:
I did what you said and i still get the same problem, but one weird thing that should be mention is when i did a factor reset it doesent do the phone set up thing for me, i have to manually press *228 to do the phone authentication

Verizon could not find a solution

@droid i do not have another smartphone
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davezx6r:
Have you tried flashing back further than gingerbread? I recently came back from an mtd rom and repartotioned with the eho3 file and I am having some odd quirks my self. I have heard it said several times that eb01 is the most successful file to use when repartitioning. That was going to be my next step, it can't hurt to try for you either.

One more thing. You didn't by any chance have clear phone efs checked when you odined did you? There was some one that did that recently on here and had similar problems.

"Edit". If you did wipe your efs the meid in your phone won't match the one on your account and will cause those issues. Go into settings, about phone, status. Right down your meid then compare it to the one printed on the FCC sticker underneath your battery. If it matches then thats one thing you dont have to worry about. If it doesn't match then that would be your problem.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sk8erbg207:
I just rooted my phone and planned on trying out hellfire phoenix, my question refers to the following:

1.) DO NOT use CWM to load the rom to your SD card. CWM has been known to cause file corruption when using it to transfer the zip file.

**Use an adapter or stick**

2.) Ensure you have ATLEAST 80% battery left.

3.) DO NOT touch the rom for atleast 10 minutes after first boot!!! Allow the rom to move in before you go changing the furniture.

4.) Compete SEVERAL on/off cycles before you report an issue. These are usually successful in "pushing" parts of the rom into the proper order and place.

On #1, I'm still a bit new, so would dragging the zip to my SD card while it's in USB mode on my phone be okay? I'm confused as to how you put the ROM on your phone and then how you install it, thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moezsayani:
Yeah, copying it to your SD card through the actual Android OS will work. just don't boot into recovery and copy the ROM to the SD card through ClockworkMod.

Hey there,

since a few days I'm using CM9 alpha 4 by lupohirp.

Today, by one to the other moment data stopped working.

Rebooted, didn't help. Reflashed ROM, didn't help. Reflashed baseband, didn't help. After flashing baseband phone didn't boot anymore. Then I noticed, that I got - I don't know how - another cwm recovery (3.x.x). Then I flashed the beta4 again, booted fine, still got no data and contacts were deleted (didnt wipe anything, because I only flashed over same version). A few hours later I got data again.

I guess it's not caused by the provider, nobody else, who I know had those problems.

Has anybody ever had a weird problem like this? :D

Sup Nation,

I am assuming this has been posted in other forums, but I bet there are people like me that only look at the Vivid, Raider, Velocity section of XDA.

But I thought I would post up a link to get the new Google Play app.

Google have renamed the "Android Market" to "Google Play"

It has a slightly different UI on the phone, and the Google Play Website has been updated too.

Here is the UPDATED VERSION link

The main improvement to the app: under the My Apps menu, you can see Installed and All Apps in a separate tab. This allows you to re-download any app you've previously tried and deleted, or paid for and uninstalled, bringing the functionality more in line with the desktop portal.

Enjoy people!
