what boggles me is that android is the first os that has gotten my trust, for better or for worse. as strange as it may sound, i like updates, i am happy when notifications drop in and i certainly read the changelogs and see what's new. no other OS has ever been able to do that to me. i am using windows at work, macosx at home and linux for website-server stuff. some of these systems are here for decades, and yet they have never really taken care of my needs. i have no trust in them and never had, i click away update nagscreens whenever i see them, i hate when firefox bugs me with it, i dont trust any application, i know they put their dump onto my harddrives, mess it all up from inside, they have brought their own installation/deinstallation scripts and deamons for updates that clog my ram and suck my bandwidth, they are unsigned and unsafe, they spam my screen with popups, i do not know what permissions they require and what api's they call - they do whatever the hell they want. i use them because i have to.

yes, android has kinks and problems, but this is the cleanest OS, from a users standpoint, i have seen and used. my technical background may be lacking but this was my first impression. and because of that i can deal with buggy apps just fine, i either tollerate it or uninstall and search for something works on the market. and for some crazy reason i enjoy it, although i hated it on pc/mac/linux. so in this regard i think the app-market is doing great. it is true of course that the quality from app to app varies alot, but many do have high standards and work flawlessly. i for one think it is good that the android market does not have severe restrictions, because updates can get pushed when a defect is found. you have the opposite on apple and i did read reports that state their apps generally crash more often, which makes absolute sense because each update must go through an odyssey of admittance. bugs itself will always happen, every programmer knows that, but the android market has made sure that we do not suffer from them as much as on other systems. the underbelly of android with its signing-mechanisms, permission-transparency, packet-installer, subtle notifications, etc., all this works for me and im using my desktop less and less for a reason.
[Android General] CSharpHeaven:
Thank you for your inputs. I would like to clarify a couple of things, if you don't mind.

I have never made a comment about the Google Play Store's update process that updates the downloaded applications. Since you did, I do agree with you regarding the advantages you rightly addressed. What I might not agree with you is the trust where my credit card details can be added to the profile Google creates for all the citizens.

My point, that you responded to, was about the inability Android OS has to update itself the way, for example, Microsoft Windows or Apple's iOS can. Also the only thing Android can update on any Android handsets is the Google Play Store app. I found this very unfair when thousands of users, behalf the rest, were campaigning to push their respective manufacturers to release the next version of Android. During such campaign I fell ill from the distress. I cannot recall going through such similar experience in my 20+ in I.T. Believe me, being a software developer I can tolerate high mental pressures but that experience was something else. I don't wish anyone else go through the same experience ever and they shouldn't really.

I've been writing this article with the consideration of the bigger issues. I cannot conclude Android is a good platform based on a small technical convenience when I have vivid visions on what Google is doing with Android and beyond the mobile space.

If my ID suggests I must be a Microsoft's fan then allow me to say to the readers that I have only two Android phones which I use one of them to write my article and this response. Also I use an Android phone as my primary device, using up to three 1930mAh batteries a day. No, I don't watch movies on my phones but listen to music from time to time.
[Android General] new ion?:
His name leads me to believe Microsoft Fanboi - C# is a Microsoft language very similar to java - but has enough similarities to be it's own language.

edit - you posted at a similar time to me.

I will read this from now on, but probably won't comment. I enjoy hearing what ppl have to say.
[Android General] molesarecoming:
i have to use c# daily in my job, its great, my favourite until now. did you know that google once played with the thought to make it androids base language? read it somewhere. must be a myth though. :D

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

well, i am certainly pissed that my older handset, the s2, caught a disease called touchwizz recently instead of the modern operatig system i was hoping for. but falling ill? come on, get another phone, an iphone maybe, or if you still have hopes for android a nexus, and all will be fine. i learned my lesson from this, i'll never, ever buy something that is not directly maintained by google itself. i heard some people really loved touchwiz and samsungs efforts, to each his own. i thing its nice though that you have the choice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] K7Cobb:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Plan...ch-4G-and-4G-Slide-bring-mostly-fixes_id28112.............. Could this be the last update b4 we get ICS. Will we get ICS?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
most likely not
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] K7Cobb:
Why do you say that? Is it cause of tmobile?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
They've been releasing nothing but patches for our phone. We'll get ICS, but probably not for another six months since T-Mobile needs to bloat it up first.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
HTC already announced (twice) the list of the phones they are going to update and MT4GS isn't in it while other T-Mobile phones are

also, t-mobile is messing around with the mytouch line and repositioning it as mid-low tier devices
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
However, they've also said they're not done with announcements yet.

Which doesn't negate any existing support contracts HTC and T-Mobile have.

Actually, I'm kinda wondering if HTC is going to take over the sidekick line.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
they said that the first time, not this
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
The myTouch 4G Slide is a T-Mobile branded phone, not an HTC branded phone. HTC has no control of when they are allowed to release an ICS ROM for the MT4GS. The phone may be produced by HTC, but it is no more HTC than the T-Mobile G2 or Google Nexus One.

We will likely get it, just not in the near future.

[HTC EVO 3D] kire.htc:
I read few topics similar like this on other web sites, but i need more opinions from you guys. I have 3vo GSM for few days and i am afraid of charging the batery. Why? Because it is going up to 4350mv or 4.35V, and as i know it's too much (it's normal up to 4.1 or 4.2) and with that kind of charge you can reduce battery life. So i need to know is that rom related, kernel related or it's something wrong. I am rooted on MikRunny v1.11 and don't know is that happaning on stock phone. I don't know what is wrong, but i don't like this kind of charging.:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
It's normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] kire.htc:
It's definetly not normal. It's hurting battery.

Wikipedia:

High charge levels and elevated temperatures (whether from charging or ambient air) hasten capacity loss. Loss rates vary by temperature: 6% loss at 0 °C (32 °F), 20% at 25 °C (77 °F), and 35% at 40 °C (104 °F).

(Many) Lithium-ion battery packs contain fail-safe circuitry that shuts down the battery when its voltage is outside the safe range of 3–4.2 V per cell. ....3.7 V nominal voltage with a 4.2 V max charge.

Typically, lithium-ion cells are charged with 4.2 ± 0.05 V/cell.

Is there something that can fix this????
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
4350mv is totally normal for our phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
It's perfectly normal, stop being paranoid. It's just a phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kire.htc:
Thanks for reply. My phone is charging from 99% to 100% in 45 minutes. Is that normal too??
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
No, that's a lie
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
Lol.

Trust me there are fail safes. Your phone will not blow up and your battery will no spontaneously com bust. Quit being paranoid...
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
Just a phone? It's also got a highly volatile battery in it if you charge it incorrectly.

When people say "it's normal", you need to clarity whether normal = phone misreads charge voltage, or if normal = normal to charge at 4.35v. If it's "normal to charge at 4.35v" then that's a real big problem with your phone.

Li-ion is not to be ******* with. Please don't go telling people it's OK when it's not.

[This has been a public service announcement] lol ;-)

Sorry if the tone is harsh, but please go and read some articles on li-ion charging people :)

So at what point are you going to mention one of the fail-safe's being that it vents to atmosphere when the battery pressure get's too high? (possibly with flame).
[HTC EVO 3D] kire.htc:
Overcharging li-ion battery is very dangerous. I did some research and this is what i found:

I fully charged my battery. On battery monitor widget it shows 4349mV. I turn off the phone, take off batery and measure with digital multimetar. It shows 4.31mV. So maybe the phone does't show very accurate stats. I'am still not sure.

This is what i found on web:

A source reached out to us and let us know that the Motorola Bionic's 3.8 V battery is in fact using a new alternative high voltage chemistry, and is not simply an overcharged Lithium Ion battery. This same battery will be used in the just-announced Motorola Atrix 2 as well. Note that the battery name includes an H (eg HW4X) to denote the use of these high voltage battery chemistries. This new chemistry also has similar cycle life as existing 3.7 V nominal batteries, and has been in the works for several years.

It’s just interesting that this particular battery is 3.8 V nominal (4.3 V fully charged), as this 0.1V boost design choice gives the battery a bit more capacity. It isn’t a huge difference, 3.7 V would make the 1735 mAh battery 6.4 Whr, the 3.8 V of this current design makes it 6.6 Whr.

This will be useful too:

So i hope that this will help someone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ChromeJob:
ORLY? I've noticed on several different chargers that my Amaze is moderating the charging rate (and amperage, if you believe Battery Monitor Widget) as it nears 100%. I get "Battery Full" and "Charging complete" alarms well after "100%" is reached.

Both images are from overnight charge cycles, with screen turned off. Autosync and other periodic processes are disabled at night by Llama. Vertical indices represent one hour. Second image is for an HTC stock charger, U250.

We have a working camera on ICS, another kernel dev, plenty of action and excitement on the forums, aaaand everyone is getting along. This is so great.

Hmm, camera isn't taking the best pictures. Not complaing. Just reporting.

As soon as I start typing anything, a keyboard icon pops up in my notification bar. I click it, and this is what comes up. However, even when I select the option I want, the moment it goes away, and I start typing again - the keyboard is back in the notification bar. :confused:

Anyone else missing the calendar app? I found it in the system/app directory but can't seem to install it. any ideas?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] shekki:
I used Root Explorer to find the app in the directory. Am I supposed to fix permissions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mrmytouch:
If you just flashed in recovery it will not work. You need to do this

boot to recovery

mount system

flash fix

unmount system

reboot

I love this from ...but games still not working . I have flashed the adreno drivers too ... and m getting random freeze ups and reboot ...any work around ..thanks.

Has anyone noticed that music sounds better on cm7. Not complaining. Great rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thisishoot:
That's the thing about ics roms I guess. For me, Zips was a no go on my phone. I wiped and kept wiping yet the last two builds didn't work and it was force close city for me.

With this one, I haven't had too many hiccups(only when I start multitasking; gaming, texting, music etc at once) unlike with zips.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blackwing182:
imposible, it uses the same audio drivers from cm7, and usea the same device_htc_glacier files and vendor files from zips rom

these ics roms alll are the same, juat changes in ftameworks and tweaks thats all.

Thanks man...must of been that **** I smoked earlier hahaha. :D:D

I'm running the test build. Smooth except for my browser keeps force closing. Is anyone else having this issue

[myTouch 4G Android Development] pyr0sphere:
You do understand that by putting "plz" he was indeed asking and not demanding
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blackwing182:
ether way is demand, every one knows that everything that have to do with video is posibly broken, so theres no need to ask for a fix its a known bug
[myTouch 4G Android Development] emailtvo:
When you develop apps/software/roms for distribution on the internet, this kind of stuff happens all the time, every time. It is inevitable. It's within your personal control to not let things like that affect you so personally. If it affects you too much, maybe you should stop updating the ROM. You have no obligation. Or do as most people do and just ignore it and move on.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blackwing182:
other that that, people needs to be patient, all devs here works on that kind of stuff for free in their free time, im not mad, think about it, its hard to get things fixed and more dificult when you work on somethimg that is so broken ;-), im going to follow your last line, igmore coments like these, and move on, thimgs will get fixed step by step :-)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blinksilver:
Test 33 is finally my daily driver. Exceptional work; honestly exceptional work. I can live without video. I did have a small question. I am not incredibly interested in having romcontrol on my device, lot of people put there hands on it d2d and its bound to result in one of the them mucking with something they shouldn't. However removing the apk results in a "hanging fc" in the settings. The link to rom control is still there. Is there a simple (or perhaps complex) way of removing it without having to recompile the settings apk from source?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rlink4886:
Worry not of the entitled morons who have no idea what it takes to do what you do. I've owned a MT4G since damn close to US release, and I can honestly say that I'm happier since installing ICI a few weeks ago than I have been the entire time I've owned this phone. I'm mostly a lurker but I had to come out of the woodwork to say that there are many, many folks who appreciate the work you guys put in, we're just overshadowed by a very LOUD and annoying minority. So keep up the good work, and think of the gracious folks like myself!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
I am enjoying the rom so far, this morning it did give me the black screen of death like the 32 build, try to turn on the screen and nothing happens, hold down the power button nothing happens and have to do a battery pull. I haven't had any issues after that so far.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zaky1:
Same here But keep the good work;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bittermormon:
Any idea when? :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i've mentioned several times the Absocam works for video and stills

been using it now for a couple weeks

but oddly enough NO ONE has ever picked up on it or commented that "yes, it works! yay!"

why it hasnt been baked into these releases until aosp camera gets fixed?

?:confused:?:rolleyes:..

confused, but loving this rom and having a 'fully' functioning 4.0.4 on my Glacier:cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
Looked in the Market and can't find Absocam? Videocam Illusion also works, but has more settings than I want in a regular simple videocam app.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Videocam Illusion gave me so many issues, it made my phone run like crap, the app would run slow, and sometimes it would FC or even freeze my phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i posted in either this thread or zips, cant remember

here there are again

i installed all three, and it works...not sure if you have to install all three to work, havent tested that out yet
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
Never mind someone beat me to it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
So, what's the origin of this app? I tend to only install stuff that has a decent pedigree.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
Its from the collective ports. Dhd fans love the cams.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
you must have scruples...me?...I dont care who her parents are :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el_smurfo:
It seems to me that the video apk you included is in fact Videocam Illusion...it installs as such and asks to put the files in the same directory. Is this some sort of optimized version that doesn't cause the problems you noted previously?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Ksunnyv1011:
Getting amazing battery life on this ROM, better than any other ICS ROM I have used so far! Thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] doat:
Thanks for posting the zips again I remember seeing them but couldn't find the page they were on.

Bugs with the rom, it still freezes on me every now and then and the music effects and DPS manager seem to work when they want to lol.
