[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
When you look at a piece of art, do you see it with an analytical mind or do you feel an intangible emotional connection to the piece? I have a painting that I bought from a friend a few years ago. For the first year that I knew him, it was hung vertically in his apartment. It was nice.

One day, he rearranged his furniture and changed how the painting was hung... to horizontally. The moment I saw it, I fell completely in love with it. Even more odd is that this abstract piece of red art actually has a correct vertical and a correct horizontal orientation. It can actually be hung upside down and look completely ugly as a result, though it's essentially a rectangle of red with some depth and texture to it.

I think that the UI design is meant to play on an emotional level. To look at the screen and fall in love with it. The lack of status icon clutter. Most times, a clean countertop looks better than a messy one. For a few months, I felt my apartment was closing in on me. I finally cleaned the pile of papers from a countertop and the entire apartment opened up. In this way, WP7's UI is clean and simple.

When presented with the option of leading you visually in the standard Metro style (ie: the way the people and photos hubs have large headers and teasers of what is to the right), the home screen to app screen transition is the one thing that wouldn't work in that way. So, the countertop would be clean, but living room wall would have all of the art hung on it upside down. Sure, it's abstract, and there really is no right or wrong way to hang it, but it just looks wrong. I'd feel as if the walls were closing in on me.

When I first saw WP7, I fell in love with it. Late last year, I purchased an HD2 so I could root it and try WP7 out. It had battery issues with that hardware, so I tried several Android ROM's as well. When WP7 was not an easy option, and Android was, I had no interest in having a smartphone.

Android, though fun, evokes no emotion/passion in me when I think about it.

I'm an odd addition to this forum. I'm highly technical and can understand most things sent my way, but spend my professional hours working with the human body in a way that relies on considerable amounts of the intangible to be good at what I do.

Step back from your logical approach to WP7's UI and see it more as a Zen meditation. Think about the hubs. They're designed to create a sense of motion... to move about and see all there is. The home screen, despite its live tiles and vertical scrolling, is more still. A look at it does not inspire me to move and swipe left/right, but just to enjoy it the way it is. I think this is where the break in logic and the arrow fit in. The arrow shows that motion is possible, but is not motion itself in the same way that partial views and oversized fonts are.

Did I ramble on too much. :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Its true, most people don't have common sense. Thats why Microsoft put up that arrow on the screen and those WP ads with scrolling tiles up and down.

FYI xda itself is a development forum in general. Geez can you be any dumber.

loser
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
While the auto-hide signal and battery strength doesn't bother me at all, it is amazing how many people that I show my phone to seem to point this out as a negative when they notice it. I really wish the call tile had that stuff on it (obviously in a tasteful way).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] HUNRain:
Hello!

We got a very big problem with my friends galaxy mini.

On stock 2.3.6 rom, stock kernel:

- AFTER installing some aps (10-15 aps):

Galaxy mini performance slow down, menu laggy, games (like Angry birds) laggy too..

Tried Emanon V5 rom,installed (dalvik cache clear,etcetc as in instal note)

Everything working fine (like in FRESH stock 2.3.6 rom).

- AFTER installing some aps (10-15 aps):

Galaxy mini performance slow down, menu laggy, games (like Angry birds) laggy too..Again....

We tried:

-Moving more apps to sd

-Force closing running programs

-single pic to wallpaper

Not helped...

Internal memory is more than 80 Mb

Ram is more than 70-80Mb (like after fresh installed emanon v5)

But the phone was laggy,and unplayable in games...

After fresh rom install, the phone worked fine,no lag, games runs fast (with SAME ram/rom numbers, and with animated wallpaper!)...But after 4-5 days and some apk installs, and phone was a s..t again!

Sorry for my bad english,please help!

Any program,or solution for this problem?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
more apps installed means more ram usage, more background processes and laggy phone try advanced task killer to kill background and foreground running processes

and also angry birds was always laggy in many armeabi v6 devices and it's not a big problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] HUNRain:
Angy birds always laggy...?

On freshly installed Emanon / or Stock rom, no lag...

Tried to kill processes, force close running apk-s, clear caches with Cachemate...

Not help...

Phone was almost at half speed against "fresh install"...AB running heavily laggy, phone menus laggy to etcetc..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
try other roms.. cm7 by mebitek.. or squads..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] HUNRain:
Maybe tryin but most of people said, Emanon rom was the best...

And yes,its much more faster,smoother than stock room.

Overclocked to 800mhz, worked well,and much more faster...

But after 4-5 days of use (installing programs,widgets,etc) and speed was drained dramatically...Just like in stock rom...I think this is not the roms problem...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] billzilla2000:
I installed Go Launcher EX and the EX Notification plugin. I have an odd '35' number on Facebook (on my laptop FB reads '(3)' right now) and that's it. Nothing for Handcent, ATT Visual Voicemail or Gmail. There's some blurb on the Google Play Store notes saying Google broke the latest Gmail app and that if you have the latest version you're SOL.

How can I just get red dot notifications for these apps? VVM, Handcent, correct number for FB and Missed Calls? It's hard to Google or search for this topic as there doesn't seem to be a de facto universal term for these notice dots.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AdamaDBrown:
Short version: I'm looking at getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Verizon which has a battery issue. According to the current owner, the battery only holds a 20% charge. My question is twofold. One, is there any chance this is a software or battery calibration problem that is fixable? The GT 10.1 seems a bit young for the battery to actually have worn down to that point.

Two, assuming it's not fixable, does anyone here have experience with replacing the battery? I've looked over the teardowns, and seen the type of battery pack it uses, but I haven't seen direct replacements available on eBay.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
It's still under warranttee, why not have Samsung fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Agree with Tabguy. Verizon version of the 10.1 tab is young in the tooth so I would think that if there was an issue with the device hardware wise the warranty would cover that. That the owner is selling it despite this is concerning IMO. If it were me selling it I'd at least go through the effort of having it serviced under warranty so as to not pass the problem on to someone who wouldn't be able to fix it. Perhaps they are a 2nd owner though.

From what I know, the Verizon version of the tab also hasn't had any custom ROMs that would have messed with the battery requiring calibration. I own one of these tabs and have flashed a few things including AOKP builds with no impacts to battery calibration. So unless the owner flashed something that us other Verizon owners haven't it's unlikely a calibration issue.

Just a heads up that the Verizon version differs on ROM support so right now you're stuck on Honeycomb 3.2 at best if you need LTE data until the ICS build is released by Samsung/Verizon or a developer develops the LTE modem support for the ICS builds floating around. If you don't need LTE data right now you're better off getting a wifi tab and passing on this one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AdamaDBrown:
They may well be the second owner, I'm not sure. It's disappointing that the warranty doesn't follow the tab. But still, if it is fixable it'd be a great deal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ezcats:
definitely is fixable...i opened mine up and its just removing some screws and a cable and popping the new one in...now just to find a battery :D

EDIT: FOUND IT FOR YOU! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-SP...701630?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eba3799be
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Gotta love this forum!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Indeed. Now sounds like an opportunity for him to grab a tab on the cheap and repair the battery himself. I'd lowball the price and see if the owner takes it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AdamaDBrown:
Okay, so I got my hands on this thing. I haven't extensively tested it's battery capacity yet, but that's mostly because it came without the Samsung charger, just the standard USB cable. Without the Samsung 2 amp USB charger, even charging off a 1 amp supply it's nearly impossible to charge the thing. I left it plugged in for 24 hours and it's still only up around 75%. Which actually makes me wonder if that was the previous owner's problem, that they were charging it off a low current source which wasn't able to really supply the battery.

Either way, I need a 2 amp USB power supply. Does anyone happen to know if a generic one will do just as well, or is the Samsung charger wired specially for the GTab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AdamaDBrown:
Sooo.... it's looking more and more like the former owner of this thing was simply a moron. And I'm not saying that just because he didn't even bother to delete his GMail account, password, and browser history of black porn and online gambling before selling the tablet to me.

Connected to a low-amperage charger, it managed to trickle-charge up to 98% before I unplugged it and started playing. That was a little over two hours ago, and two hours of solid use on Verizon 3G later, it's declining at a steady 10% per hour. So absent anything else ridiculous happening, I'm pretty much ready to call this a case of PEBKAC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Before buying a second original Samsung 2A charger on occasion I have used a friend's "generic" 2A charger while away from home (the stock one is behind furniture and connected to the Samsungh desktop dock and was too much hassle to get), so a "generic" 2A one will do but seeing as it's not that easy to find good 2A ones and seeing that the Samsung original one is cheap enough I would simply buy an original charger (which IIRC also comes with a USB cable which may come handy).

(Availabilities and prices refer to Italy, the situation may of course be different where you live)

Sooo.... it's looking more and more like the former owner of this thing was simply a moron. And I'm not saying that just because he didn't even bother to delete his GMail account, password, and browser history of black porn and online gambling before selling the tablet to me.

only flashing a custom rom via odin increases counter.

flashing cwm, stock rom doesnt increases counter.

ёёё

no. it is customised official rom with it's stock kernel, so don't worry about flash counter ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
I would say...it's most probably just a custom kernel that increases the counter.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
yes flashing this rom increases counter as it is a custom one not stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Thanks. I thought this was a custom ROM with custom kernel like TitaniumS.

So that means, Infected ROM which is based on stock kernel will not increase the counter if flashed via ODIN?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
if you flash infected rom via odin it will increase your counter
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Ok. Thanks for clarifying!

So if I'm not mistaken, flashing any Custom ROM (doesn't matter whether based on stock OR custom kernel) via ODIN increases flash counter.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Excuse me...but what are you talking about? :)

GLX is a custom rom but is based on stock kernel (=not custom kernel) and thus it won't increase the counter.

Infected rom is flashable via CWM so no need to consider flashing it via Odin since there's not a .tar package of that. But I'm 99% sure it wouldn't increase the counter either.

Titanium which uses ardatdat's kernel would do it for sure. (If it was possible to flash it via Odin which it isn't.)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
What am I talking about? I was just trying get my doubts cleared.

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
as i read in guides they say that flashing custom rom/kernel via odin increases counter, so as glx and infected bith are based on stock one so if i flash this roms using odin will not increase counter?

thanks for the info

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
sorry for providing wrong info :) as m.kochan said flashing this one (any rom which is based on stock rom/kernel) will not increase counter
