[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Hi, read in some topics that google talk is needed to download apps from the market, but i got a r800x 2.3.3 and i deleted google talk and i can download apps.

I will be getting a R800I with 2.3.4 58, is google talk needed only in 2.3.4 to download apps or you don't need google talk and the info i saw is wrong?

thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
AFAIK, Google Talk is needed for the Market to work only in USA phones. Not sure why your R800x doesn't need it though
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
im using it outside usa, could that be the reason?

What about anyone in a r800i, have you deleted google talk and have a working market?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Google talk is required in all phones. I live in the uk, if i remove google talk, market downloads get stuck on downloading.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
weird i can dl on market without google talk on the r800x, maybe is because i only use it in wifi on airplane mode

Where are the up,down and left, right arrow keys on the keyboard in Windows Phone? They use to be in Windows Mobile. Am I just not looking hard engough?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The software keyboard doesn't have them, and I've not yet found a way to add them back in.

To place the cursor with precision, tap and hold on the text area on-screen, then position the cursor. It's similar to how iOS and Android handle the same problem.

Antutu paid vs set CPU

Which is better ?! What are the pros and cons? Opinions?
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Set CPU works fine for me...all I want is one thing, change the speeds that's all. But for a user that wants more options then they would probably chose antutu
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
I noticed that set CPU has no widget
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
*** has no widget to view live values **
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Then use Antutu ;) I like the stock oc app that's built in cm7
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
* sigh * the only downside to set CPU is the widget :/ I will prob end up doing that
[General Questions and Answers] derricancy:
I used to use SETCPU, but finally I found that the battery life was almost the same as the situation when I did not use the SETCPU.....So I gave up at last and let the phone run as it was..

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I know that we all probably figured as much and understand that in the future, Mobile phones and tablets will defeat PCs and Laptops completely (now that we are getting devices that can double or even triple as phone, tablet and potentially PC/laptop), still it is an interesting read and article. So, have a look at this. Specifically click on the "Future of Mobile>" link at the bottom of the article to see a powerpoint presentation!
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Interesting indeed. I've wondered about this before, specifically Microsoft's future and the 'Andriod vs. iOS' war.

When it comes to Microsoft, I'm just not sure anymore. Sure, they have their hands gripped tightly around the desktop and laptop markets, but seeing this only reaffirms my opinion that Microsoft doesn't have much left going for them. With smartphones and tablets often going for more than an entire desktop computer, and now that phones and tablets truly are grossing more sales than desktops and laptops, Microsoft isn't the giant corporation it used to be. At least, not in comparison to the competition. If they don't get their act together soon, they may start to see profits dwindle. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't tried stronger marketing campaigns for their Windows phones and tablets; I know they exist, but I've never seen one in person and I've never seen an ad for them.

When it comes to Apple vs. Google/Motorola/Samsung/HTC/Nokia/Rim (essentially all mobile phone manufacturers), I've often wondered who will pull out ahead when smartphones continue to rise in sales and popularity. On one hand there is Android, along with it's very large user-base and realistically small developer-base, and on the other is iOS and its even larger user-base, extremely strong fanboy mentality, and its incredibly large developer-base. I used to think Android had it in the bag as I started seeing them all the time at school and work.. but I just don't know anymore. I would like to see Android win, because it's my personal preference, but I don't see it happening. Honestly, I think Apple's got this one in the bag. When it comes to apps and the user interface, they've already won.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
As long as I have an Android tablet and Android phone in my hand I will not agree that iPhone is winning. As of now Android has one thing going for it and that is its humongous user base. Yet it is baffling that it has at best a moderate developer base. I would guess that more devs would dev for this platform. Also, I learned that deving for android is easier as well. Oh well...

The ONLY way Android can win is if Google grows a pair of balls and tells all the manufacturers firmly that there is no way in hell you are allowed to make customizations. All you are doing is ruining the experience without significantly improving user experience and causing additional delays and fragmentation with deploying updates. From now on all of you release AOSP and update the week Google releases source code. Android's Achilles heel is fragmentation. That is why despite the fact that there are more androids than iPhones developers don't prefer it OR get much revenue from it.

So, Google, Grow. Some. Balls!!!

Moreover, I have always had a soft spot for Microsoft. I dunno but it being the underdog I always wanted MS to come sweeping to victory with their Windows phone 7. Frankly it is a very good OS. Many of my friends state that it has one of the smoothest UI. And it is so good that it can run amazingly on a single core device. All WP7 devices are single core but you'll never notice it. It is that good. In fact, I believe it was this CES or may be the last, when MS was cocky and started boasting that if you show us a device that can run smoother and faster than their Nokia Lumia 900 device, they will give you $100 (or may be the phone, I dunno). It was a bet.

Also MS did one more thing right. It had the balls, unlike Google to tell manufacturers that they can't customize WP7 other than the color scheme and some innocent apps/links on the home screen. No theming or skinning. And all WP7 devices get updates promptly, at worst within a month!!! Google, you can learn a thing or two from MS! Unfortunately MS is not really advertizing WP7 as much as they should. They can easily get more market share by appropriately marketing it and boasting its plus points!
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
The reason why Android has so few Devs compared to apple is because apple is one phone with a large portion of the market. If you're a company producing apps, you look at this and think: well, we could code for Apple and get this much market share, our we could code for Android, and then we would have to make sure it's compatible with all 200 different types, screen rezs, screen sizes, etc, to get a slightly larger market share.

In fact, up until about last summer, Google's dev page said to program the code for iPhone first, and then port it to Android, if you were going to do both.

So yeah. Unfortunate, but a fact of life.

I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:

To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:

Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.

Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.

To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:

50% Success Here

The hotspot fixes work for me. Good job pointing that out. Using the Cfg utlity requires a reboot for it to stick, maybe mention that?

The shutdown/reboot fixes are a NO GO on Perfection II Rom. I tried backup up a fully loaded rom (then a restore) and then reflashing the rom after some darkside wipes and paranoid cache cleaning (as one poster suggested) then backuping that CLEAN FLASH followed by a RESTORE and the same Boot Hangs "Shutting Down" remain.

Maybe the OP can track a list of Roms these fixes work for in the main thread?

Another way around is configure your gmail account and it let sync for 5 min and open Market accept terms and so on..

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Fix Permission in CWM ( it will not fix but doing something)

reboot..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
Hey guys,

So I have been reeeaaallly looking forward to use my Transformer Prime as a note taking device. I tried a $5 stylus, it had a very fat tip and clearly not even remotely ideal for taking notes.

I want the end experience to be as close to taking notes on a piece of paper as possible, so that I can avoid using paper and pen.

In this regard, please answer me the following questions:

1) What stylus do you use?

2) What app do you use to write handwritten notes?

3) Does it really feel just as natural to write with that stylus and app combo as a real life paper and pen/pencil?

Thanks for the help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pirkule:
1) I have a DAGi P507 pen. It has a clear plate and the feel of the pen it self is really good. It came with extra tip, clear stickers to protect the plate and even an extra stylus for my phone.

2) I have tried almost every note taking app there is on the market, but haven't really found any that I really like. Best so far have been FreeNote, Antipaper Notes and Genial writing.

3) The experience is no where near natural. Recognition is way too slow and it won't pick up any small movement. I have heard alot about app called TouchScreen Tune, which they say should improve handwriting and drawing, but I haven't tested it myself yet, because I can't root my device at the moment.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] caaznkid:
I have no idea whether it is hardware or software related but the ipad has a really nice feel to it when handwriting with notability. I think android just needs to catch up in software optimization and we'll get there someday. For now just make do with what you have. I have found that ezpdf with a blank white pdf is good for note taking. I am using the adonit jot stylus with thermal grease in tip. Good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyqutami:
Regarding the sensitivity of the Prime:

I have also heard of TouchScreen Tune, and I've seen it in action on the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. It seemed to work great on that tablet, so I imagine a similar experience can be expected on the ATP.

Ultimately, it increased sensitivity so it can pick up all those small movements. So I recommend you give it a shot if you can't seem to get a good feel for the default values (of screen sensitivity).

Hi everyone

I am thinking about picking up the 900 coming from a galaxy nexus. Now my problem is I am a heavy google user especially google voice. Does that work with win 7 and would I have a tough time transitioning to win 7 and the 900?

Thanks for any help
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
do not assume anything google will work. Just like nothing windows will work on android. Best bet is check with voice, they will know if it works or not.

I made the transition from android to winphone. I didn't made and didn't look for backs all the time, so transition was easy. Android does alot of good things. So does winphone. But they are different. It is a different experience. How well you like it will be up to you.

watch that, i think that will help you decide on upgrading to it. the only think about the lumia 900 that bugs me is the resolution on the big screen
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
I think the resolution is only an issue if you plan on heavy usage of the phone such as watching movies etc... I don't "live" on my phone so its never been an issue. Considering the ability to view it nicely in sunlight and the RICH color experience compared to HTC and iPhone I don't think you will be disapointed.
[Nokia Lumia 900] HadDaddy:
From all the pictures I've seen of it, to me, the colors look dull. I just got the galaxy note and I am extremely happy with it. I was just thinking about picking up the 900 since the price is so good. Screen clarity is huge for me. A friend of mine had the original Samsung Focus and wp7 looked really good on that phone but I don't know about the Lumia 900. It might not be the phone for me.
