[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
I haven't tried Windows 8 on a tablet, but I did try the free preview on a desktop. I am terribly ashamed to admit it.

I installed it on a computer that I don't use as a daily driver and I disconnected the ethernet to keep things relatively safe. Truly, this is more cautious than when I knowingly put viruses on my computer to test out my virus scanner. No joke. After I burned the installation DVD, I wrote "Caution! Windows 8" on it so that I wouldn't install it, thinking it was a linux distro that I wanted to play around with.

At any rate, Windows 8 is a joke. The UI is terrible and it's just a ploy to take your information. It reminds me of Vista and how that was a flop that they turned into Windows 7. Did anyone see the project Mohave videos?. Navigation is not intuitive and the tiles and charms bar are a mess. It's really the stuff that was leftover and fell on the floor. Take all the stuff that iOS and Android never used because it sucked and bam! Windows 8!

In the interest of disclosure, I dislike Windows and Microsoft products in general.

Good Question

This is a good question, and one I thought about myself. Honestly I don't think it would be hard for Windows to overtake Android tablets, Amazon did it with the kindel. I love my transformer and the OP it has basically replaced my laptop in a lot of ways. But honestly, up to this point I haven't seen anything that would suggest Google can compete well against Windows Amazon or Apple. The update process on Android is ridiculous, and developer support although improving is lacking. Google won't put some sort of QC process and organization on the market so tablet specific apps are hard to find. All of these things are off putting to casual consumers and usually why they choose other OS's. That said, all this can be improved and I think Android tablets will sell more but until then I'm keeping my eye on Windows 8. If they can offer me the same functionality with usb ports, user upgraded memory at a resonable price I might consider a Windows tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frederuco:
I also have the Win8 Consumer Preview installed.

It is an interesting blend of a traditional OS and a tablet OS, but it is still not going to take over Android IMO.

There is still a lot of unknowns. Even if Windows tablets take off, the low powered Tegra variety will probably have issues running full software (like Office) since it is designed for x86 and x64 processors. I know the Atom processors struggled with this for a while.

In general, I will be sticking with Windows 7 because the metro UI is not what I want in a desktop OS. Even for a tablet OS, I still prefer Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Probably should have asked this question the day before yesterday.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] solom01:
I wouldn't rule out Microsoft, I have Windows 8 running on an Acer W500 tablet and although it is not quite ready for prime time, the fact that I can run Office 10, surf any site I want, etc. makes it pretty darn useful compared to Android or iOs. It's almost like iOS has the perfect consumption device for people who are just going to surf a bit and do some light stuff, while Windows 8 could handle that plus serious business stuff. I worry about Android's survival because of the lack of control by Google. Between vendors fighting to see who can put out the cheapest tablet, phone carriers and vendors modifying the heck out of it to "differentiate" themselves, and the inability to predict when or if a particular unit will get an update I can't see too many regular people picking an Android tablet compared to iOS or WIndows 8. By the way, that doesn't apply to the people on this forum who are by definition people who enjoy tinkering with their tablets, but if you start talking to the vast majority of the population about rooting, adb, etc. their eyes will glass over. A small vocal minority makes for a neat foruum experience, but it doesn't keep an operating system alive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I honestly don't see how windows 8 will capture the hearts of the public with the tiles instead of icons. Icons have become so popular because they take advantage of people's natural ability to recognize shapes and patterns at a glance. With tiles, everything looks the same at a glance. I tried out windows 8 and I very quickly found myself having to concentrate more just to see which tile belong to what app. It was annoying as hell.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Joelesprod:
I tried wp7 and i must say it feels the same as it looks, blocky as hell and windows 8 looks the same. I love android because i can customize it, install whatever i want, root it, flash it, is fast, lots of updates, innovations etc.

I <3 windows on my pc, but <3 Android on my mobile devices and i think it will remain like that for a long time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] letsgophillyingeneral:
I find it hilarious that people are bashing Windows 8 so much. Reminds me of the Win7 beta and RC days.

EDIT: It also reminds me of the jump from Office 2003 to Office 2007/2010. Or jumping from XP to Win7. Familiarity can be a *****; change is good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SiNJiN76:
Bwahahahahahaha!!!! Good one! :D:D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bbedward:
If windows 8 tablets run on an x86 platform then you'll be able to run all windows apps including games on it so I could see them taking a chunk out of the existing laptop/tablet market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
I love my Android tablet but it can't totally replace a PC yet. I've been thinking about the ASUS Eee Slate for a while. Price and the fact that Windows 7 is not really tablet optimized has held me back (plus my dismal experience with ASUS RMA's didn't help much). A well made tablet with a tablet optimized OS and a Wacom stylus interests me. I draw and need an office program to do schoolwork.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
This is perhaps the most commonly held misconception out there.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Believe it or not, I'm very excited about windows 8. I really am. My gripe with it is for some unfathomable reason they decided to use tiles instead of icons. This one thing will turn most people away.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JesterOC:
I think Tweaked hit it on the head.

With nVidia's announced product schedule, one year will bring about huge changes in the tablet market. I don't think you have to worry about Windows 8, but if the huge juggernaut that is the iPad is not killing us right now, then Windows 8 can do absolutely no harm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
Google isn't going to let Android die. It's Google. What Windows 8 will do is bring more competition into the market, which is always a good thing for us consumers.

What will eventually become obsolete are phones and tablets with hardware that can't support Windows 8 or Google's new Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] showson1:
Android, and even iOS, are specifically written for a mobile platform.

They are designed to be energy efficient, work with reasonably priced hardware (OK, maybe not in the iOS case) and were built from the ground up for this purpose.

Microsoft is trying to make their desktop environment fit on a tablet.

It was not designed for the mobile platform, not even talking about the interface, I'm talking about efficiency and lack of bloat.

In order to maintain their compatibility they have to add a lot of (in most cases) unnecessary bloat for the few people that may require it.

I'm not bashing Microsoft, I'm just saying the can't shoe-horn their desktop OS on a mobile device and expect it to compete with devices that were specifically designed for the mobile space.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I think Windows 8 is going to fail miserably in the desktop market. I haven't tried it yet because I don't care to, but from what I've seen and heard it has a horrible interface that makes desktop use a horrible experience. The interface looks like it will be useful on a tablet but Microsoft has come too late into the tablet game and will have to bust their asses to catch up. All their apps for their ARM version has to be rewritten from the ground up so they essentially don't have any apps available compared to Android and iOS which have hundreds of thousands of apps available, the x86 version may have more success since they don't have to completely change everything. Although they do have a lot of work ahead of them because apparently they're ditching .NET and using a new language which developers have to learn, here's the kicker the development tools aren't even finished yet!

I don't think we have a lot to worry about considering that the iPad hasn't killed the Android tablet yet. I think a lot of people are going to get Windows 8 and see how much of a clusterfuck it is and wish they had never spent the money on it. Windows has always been a dirty OS that requires Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware software to keep it usable, do you really want to have to use that stuff on your tablet also? I guess we'll have to see how it pans out. I think its going to be a miserable failure just like their phones are. It's their last ditch effort to stay relevant in the changing PC market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
umm what? Windows 8 does have the standard Windows interface. Metro is basically an overlay GUI. You can turn it on and off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] letsgophillyingeneral:
Stopped right there. Do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you start an argument off like that?

If you had played with one of the early Windows 8 builds, whether it be the Dev Editition or the Consumer Preview, you would've quickly realized that Windows 8 provides the same exact desktop experience as Windows 7 / Vista.

Like I said earlier in the thread:

Awesome case but have no idea how to order. Any direction?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] latah:
Having one of these cases I can confirm they are excellent, especially if you use the Note as an ereader it reduces hand/wrist strain. It also has an integrated kick stand for video viewing. However the material is nt moleskin, more a faux leather exterior with a soft suede like inner finish. I order mine from here and it only took 1 week to deliver to UK. http:item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=270873797663

What is the go with the pouch on the back and on the inside its hard to tell from the website, would you mind posting a pic of it ? Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] choubbi:
I think the OP meant Moleskine, like the notebooks, which have a black oiled paper cover which looks a bit like thin leather, not moleskin.

The Zenus and MFit covers can be found on eBay.

[HTC EVO 3D] veasnakhyom:
Hello Sr. members,

I am new here and I just got my EVO 3D rooted but I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM. Now when I booted the phone it have a white background with the word HTC. I did factory reset, restored, recovery none of them work. Is this mean my belove EVO is brick now. What else can I do to revive it even get back to the manufacture setting I would do it too. Please.... please help me... If I posted the wrong place, please directly/move me to the right place.

Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryistech:
what you could try, is boot Into recovery, whipe chache and dalvic. And all data. And try to flash a new rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] thatguy11285:
What's the Hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
No you didn't brick it yet but in order to get your device going again you will need to extract the boot.IMG and reflash the boot.IMG and that will let your phone boot and you should be good from there I had to do the same thing good luck
[HTC EVO 3D] Wolf Counselor:
Don't worry about flashing the wrong ROM. We switch between roms a couple of times a year here and once you get the hang of it, you will to until you find the one that fits you. As for your issue, boot into recovery, do a full wipe and flash the correct rom. If it freezes at boot screen, try again. Sometimes there are bad flashes but have patience with it. The first boot up is always the longest.

[HTC EVO 3D] veasnakhyom:
Where do I get the correct ROM for my EVO 3d?

Thank you for all your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Since you have given no information as to what kind of EVO 3D you have, no one can tell you what rom to use. It depends on the EVO 3D (CDMA or GSM first of all)

I have my stock email linked to comcast and i keep geting this junk from pumkin i marked it as spam but it keeps comming to my phone how to i stop it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
This topic is not related to Epic 4g touch nor Android.

Anyway, here is a short explanation.

The sender of junk email, they do not use the actual domain or IP address. Also, they change the sender's ip address every time. There are many ways to distinguish this kind of emails from the email server level but it's so limited in email client's level. For the Android phones, there are just few spam filters available and most case, it would not work for your comcast email. You need to login to comcast account and check the spam filter options. There's nothing to do with your phone in this case.

Your not the only one having problems with posing the ics theme via adb. I'm failing at it constantly but as soon as I figure out the best way than I will def post on it.

I'll figure it out

[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Also, if you flashed the CWM on boot than evertime you boot your phone you will go straight to recovery which will help those bootloops. Keep in mind that EVERYTIME you flash a ROM you will need to reflash CWM on boot.

It didn't break your GPS? I haven't flashed CWM on boot because I need my GPS and the first time I did it with supercharged, my GPS was broken.

[Motorola Atrix 2] aguacateojos:
Thanks for the help, I finally got this to work. A question about the updates - while in CWM which option do I choose? Install from zip or update from sdcard? Something else?

EDIT - Nevermind, figured it out... SECOND EDIT - Holy force closes Batman! I restored my data and opened the floodgates... what's up with that? Should I have used Titanium instead of restoring from my backup with CWM?
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Never restore data via cwm unless your going to stock, and only restore via titanium what you need. Try reflashing and see what happens. Also, if you flashed the updates do this....flash update 1 reboot, update 2 reboot
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Love the "holy force closes" lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] aguacateojos:
I flashed the updates appropriately. Just wanted all my apps, settings and contact back quickly... guess I learned better. For now I think I'll stick with the deodexed 2.3.5... looks and feels better than the Supercharged did.

Ive never personally had a problem with titanium back up, but def dont restore data via cwm. And supercharged is awesome if you follow my steps, or the op steps, to the letter.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
That's not always true, it depends on what you're flashing from.....for example, I was on stock rooted 2.3.6 when I flashed RebelROM and it didn't wipe data at all so I retained everything after the flash that I had before it....except for the underwhelming ROM :cool:

Huh? GPS isn't working on RebelROM
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Sorry, i had went back to stock deodexed right before i posted that. Lol.

Damn you! I was hoping you were gonna tell me how to fix it in RebelROM :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Also, i was talking about using CWM ON BOOT as a save haven, nothing about data or anything....if you have cwm on boot and flash anither rom you loose cwm on boot and have to reflash it....i think....at least i have always had to reflash it

I'll show you later.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Please do, I havent encountered any yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
DarkJ, you can test urseft.

- notification ringtone (nr) = Silent, when phone needs to use nr it uses main ringtone instead.

- Viber cannot handle proximity sensor : screen stills on and on continuously when you hear by earpices.

Sometime these things happened :

- light sensor doesn't work correctly. Lcd bg became light up at nearly max. brightness. Push lock button then unlock again, it works.

- cannot wakeup the vitural keyboard in some programs. Need to touch Search button to start keyboard, then out and comeback.

- turn off Data service and turn on makes phone cannot joint network untill you reboot phone. Maybe this problem depended on carrier in each country.

- phone cannot recognize Sdcard after unmouting from pc. Need to restart phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Ok, i have tested all, the only problem i can repeat is the notifications. Everything else is fine. Mayne the data problem is carrier issue? I know when i turn my data off then on it takes about 5 seconds then i get service again....these problems are intriguing. Does anyone else have issues?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
OP, thanks for posting these steps. I posted them a couple of time in the SuperCharged thread, but they got buried.

I haven't had any issues with SCv5.2 since flashing it phone runs like brand new silk (smooth). I also haven't seen much of a reason to try other ROM's since they are much the same (with minor differences).

BTW, I am originally from Knoxville TN...good to see another Vol (if you have orange blood) in here!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
I sure do have orange blood. :D Glad the steps are being of good use at least. Some love for Knoxville.
