[Droid Pro General] jago25_98:
It's really the only option for a portrait qwerty.

Since ICS typing on touchscreen is easier. I've managed to adapt because of this.

The thing is with the XT610 is that Motorola make it hard to hack and being rarer community support is that much less.

A straight comparision to a GalaxyS1: very similar but the i9000 has loads more ROM options etc.

If I had to have a blackberry form factor then DroidPro is the only way to go... but unfortunately it could be better
[General Topics] SamsungGalaxySII.:
That would be a great idea right? Rent a phone - just like rent a car. Just launch an online webpage with contact details and rent the latest phones to customers for reasonable prices including insurance and stuff. And when the latest phone comes out just return the previous phone and then rent out the older phone cheaper and the newer phone at a higher price. This way one would not be fixed on one phone and developers especially would have the opportunity to develop for many more phones.
[General Topics] danw87:
sounds like a good idea but for the price of phones i find it easier to just go buy it or take out a contract plus a contract is like renting a phone till your contract is up apart from they dont take the phone back just want your money lol
[General Topics] DexterMorganNL:
Well in the Netherlands its already happening. You can lease your phone for a period off time.

But I think the amount you need pay for leasing is still quite high, so I think you can as well buy it yourself.
[General Topics] nyamd20:
Or maybe you can also lease a phone lol
[General Topics] johnny893:
Terrible idea. What happens if you break it etc?
[General Topics] sigsays:
the amount of time you would have to lend it out, you would barely make profit until phones are paid off. would take a while unless they are paying some crazy monthly rental fee.
[General Topics] XGr7078:
In fact if you are developing for sony ericsson xperia devices you can borrow a phone from sony Mobile developer site
[General Topics] bamx2:
At this pont in time , I don't see it .

Before cell phones were so common and the providers charged high roaming fees , rental car company locations offered cell phones for rent . The rental and airtime were pricey but worth it to business people on the move.
[General Topics] geunho:
My initial reaction too... I'm not sure I'd want to rent a phone with all the strings attached for damages

I called VZW to find out if I could rent an Iphone just to see if I'd like it. They said that would be an awesome idea, but no, they have no such service. I ended up just getting the GNex!
[General Topics] Neruul:
Well actually, in the Netherlands, it's possible. Kind of.. however, you're stuck to that one phone when you take it.. It's like leasing a phone.. You pay for it monthly, but with great replacement service etc.
[General Topics] mbaier:
Rent a phone ? O boy . Who the f..k will rent a phone . And why :confused:
[General Topics] lamborg:
well for the reason you mentioned for renting, you can just buy and sell it back when you need another device.
[General Topics] thebobp:
Sounds good, but

1) a phone's price is probably not high enough to justify a renting scheme vs data moving inconvenience. How often do you see rented laptops?

2) the current contract system is already entrenched.
[General Topics] 4ktvs:
I wish I could have rented a phone when I was having a issue with my razr, to see id it was the phone or not. I would have saved me a LOT of time, dealing with verizon on the phone.

I think renting for a day or a week could work, but even that would be hard.
[General Topics] vielikiy:

[General Topics] s4y_g00dby3:
older phones are so cheap, I think that would make this a bad call. You can buy older blackberry curves for like 20 bucks on eBay. So if you just need a loaner smartphone, you can always do that. Granted it won't be the latest and greatest, but it will work.

...though it would be funny to get other people's calls on your rental number. haha.
[General Topics] someone3974:
sounds like a good idea！
[General Topics] shamal:
better to just buy a new phone, rather then renting as some mobile phones are cheep anyways.

Everything has a market. International visitors would be more than interested in a phone bundle ready to go with minutes and text for their short stay. Saves them the trouble of unlocking, buying a sim, topping up ect ect.

Just bought a new laptop... Soon as I got home I installed all the android SDK files all the fast boot drivers and flash drivers. I installed PC Companion, SE boot unlocker, Flash tool, Super one click, AC_SWM. As far as I can tell everything installed correctly no errors. When I plug in my phone it installs more drivers an all goes well, my computer, pc companion, boot unlocker, and flash tool finds the phone no problems but when I try to use AC_SWM it gives an error device not found... any ideas?????? bout to pull my hair out.....:mad::mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
There is a new phone that was leaked from nokia with a Qualcomm s4, hd screen, 41 Megapixel camera and a weird body. Also there is 1080p recording and rich sound too. Here take a look at it.

http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-pureview-lumia-windows-phone-device-images-leaked/

I know that if this is real, i sure will be buying one, and this phone also has the new micrsoft logo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
That phone looks huge, not a very nice looking phone either, the hardware is very intriguing though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexSombra:
Ugly as hell hahaha
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Specs=decent, that chassis is ****ing hideous though :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] fed44:
It's fake.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Although I agree that is looks fake (the curved screen seems very weird), Apollo will very likely introduce HD resolution screens and support for dual cores.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
i wouldnt mind the phone for a 41 mp pureview camera though, remember the factory lumia leak last year, we all thought that was fake but it wasnt. This might just be an early concept in my opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
Really those who are going to be knocking the design shouldn't be posting,there's already more than enough of that in the comments on WMPU and WPCentral. Doesn't look bad to me and it sounds like it's going to be good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
Ah, so you're take is that only comments that like it should be allowed? :P.

I think the specs are solid ('specially that camera!) but the device looks incredibly ugly and would never sell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lamborg:
I did saw the Nokia Pureview with 41MP effection 35MP running on sym.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
for me i t looks like an REMOTE CONTROL :) for an TV! but really, just imagine to use it as an WP8 and you have to type a message, on a curved display where your finger go around the device, thats not natural.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
I would definitely buy this. I'm not too obsessed with slim phones. As long as it fits in the pockets I'd rather have better specs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
that's a rad looking phone. if it was waterproof......
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
who knows what'll sell and what won't? For example pathetic devices like the iPad 3 is no different than the previous 2 as well as the iPhone 4S which is marginally different than the iPhone 4 yet they're selling like hot cakes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PShYCOSiC:

Nice phone, but prefeer htc design =)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Weird as hell... Don't sign me up for this... I am looking at HTC Side...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
i believe this will be for the camera centric customers, and i also heard they will have lesser speced cameras but with a great design that is more for the average buyer. this prob wont be a lumia, it will get a different name.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidwar:
Fake. I think Windows Phone should improve the software of the camera. Lumia Nokia 800 has a great sensor, but the picture quality leaves much to be desired
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I do not see this getting past any focus group. The only wow factor this phone would have is the camera. A Dual Core does not wow anyone. So we are trading mass market appeal by having such an unusual styling for a camera?

Look Nokia, you have your Lumia Series down pat. Stick with improving those. The tablet is the next thing to come.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCluva:
Hey all...I have a xoom with the EOS nightlies and love it but might want to upgrade. I may upgrade to one of the xyboards but I think its the same with moto blur(which I hate) so I was wondering if there would be any benefit to upgrade to a xyboard 10.1 thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
Not sure of any benefits by upgrading depends on your needs I guess. I have heard of screen bleeding issues with the 8.2, not sure about the 10.1. I do know that you can Root the XYboard however the Bootloader is locked down until someone figures out a way to unlock it without bricking.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
Pros: thinner, lighter, faster processor better battery, IPS display (I think thats it)

Cons: say goodbye to sdcard slot and pretty much any sort of development at the current moment...oh and official ICS is still a few months out

basically: stick with the Xoom

Hello, I need to go back from LP1 ICS (imilka) to stock rom, which is the easiest way to do that?

I do not have a Windows PC and no PC Odin for that reason, could I flash one of the stock roms with Mobile Odin?

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squicky:
Hi, as far as I can tell the procedure goes like this. You flash AbyssNote http://www.mediafire.com/?o2yi462tby2lzan

Then you restart recovery. Now full wipe and then you can flash stock rom or restore your nandroid backup. I hope this helps. :)

Yes you can use mobile odin / cwm to flash stock rom.

I recommend wipe cache n data before n after switching custom to stock n wise versa.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotvoid:
hello,

yes flashing abyss with mobile odin worked fine, had to extract the zImage from the zip file first

will install rom now via recovery when download is finished, thx guys :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Just mobile odin is enough

1.extract rom(stock) file to tar.md5 n place on sd card

2.open mobile odin, select open file n point to rom file.

3. enable ever root option if you want to keep root intact

4flash

Done

You need nothing to do with abyss kernel

Still u ned any clearance, download guide from last link on my signature, extract it. You will find a file 'update rom using mobile odin' in new folder.

Just follow the instructions *CAREFULLY*, if you encounter any problems the Devs on the forum thingy linked on the OP should help..

a tip I guess is when you get to the "wire trick"...You preety much have to be ready when it goes "DO THE WIRE TRICK NOW", and then leave it on there for a bit until it looks like it's doing something on the CMD in windows. I had to do it a few times to get it right but I guess that's why they give you the option of re running the attempt.. Good Luck
