[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
I don't hate the 4s nor do I hate iOS. I used to have a 3g and a 4, and I still have a 1st-gen iPad. As phones and OSes go, they are a very good introduction to the world of gadgets/mobile computing/mobile technology. They're powerful yet easy to use and understand, which is the main strength of the iphone. Copying, syncing, backing up, etc., can be done with one click of a button. All the complicated stuff happens in the background and the user doesn't have to do much thinking.

However, all this requires iTunes, and, oh boy, do I hate iTunes. It gets even worse if you use Windows. ITunes on Mac is bearable. ITunes on windows is a PITA. Also, iTunes is great if you only have 1 computer and only ever plug into that computer. But if you have 2 laptops, a desktop and an office computer, then you're going to have decide which one will hold iTunes and your media collection. You can have itunes in all of them, but that would require that each computer should have a copy of your entire media collection.

Want to copy some photos from your PC to your phone?

iOS: email it to yourself or use itunes.

android: plug your usb cable, then drag and drop. Or use bluetooth.

Want to transfer 10 photos from one device to another?

iOS: send 10 emails to the other iOS device or download to PC, then multiple attach to an email (or sync with iTunes if that other person doesn't mind your iTunes wiping his device and/or he/she is your husband/wife and syncs on the same PC anyway).

android: multiple attach to an email, then send. Or, add to zip file, then bluetooth. Or, android beam (if hardware allows).

Want to copy a song downloaded/bought/ripped from your office computer?

iOS: Copy it to a usb drive, bring it home and sync with itunes.

android: plug your usb cable, then drag and drop. Or use bluetooth (but might might take a while depending on how many files)

Want to transfer pdfs, docs, spreadsheets, etc. to your phone for viewing on the go?

iOS: use itunes or email to yourself.

android: plug your cable, then drag and drop. Or use bluetooth.

Anyway, you get the picture. But if you like mobile gaming, iOS is currently the platform of choice. As for me, I'm the keyboard and mouse kind of gamer.

EDIT: I should point out that my experience of iTunes on windows was on a winXP desktop. Things may have changed over the past 2 years for iTunes for windows.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
I know there are things like appearance and features that make roms different but obviously there are newer features and enhancements we want. Looking at the development page i cant tell at what stage a certain rom is at if it is complete or still buggy. Theres no way to tell by looking thru hundreds of posts.

Itd be nice if there were a seperate page with just the rom downloads with full descriptions and features so they could be compared to choose the one you want. What is miui and do i want it? What roms use it? Are all the roms safe to switch back and forth and will work with 4.5.141 ?

Ive been running nottach trix and its nice but id like to know if im missing out on anything and have no way of telling if i am ?

Miui is an android version with an iPhone feel and look. If you like the atrix for the fingerprint unlock (really that's the whole point of having this awesome phone) any blur based rom has it, but cm7 also does without all the bloat of blur and the scanner actually is much faster in response time than blur.

I'm a big fan of Jokersax's cm9 ROM. He's got that new installer with plenty of options for it now:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603925

Quite stable for me, only issues I have currently are the multi-touch can be a little wonky, and the occasional graphical glitch.

Turl's cm9 is also solid, they're both very similar, main difference I've found is a bit better battery life (but this could have changed, Jokersax updates rather frequently).

Q: What is the best ROM out?

A: Whatever one works best for you.

:) Sorry to sound flippant, but this question doesn't have an answer, because "best" is subjective; what's "best" for one person is not the "best" for someone else. You have to decide what features you want and choose the custom ROM that matches your needs.

That

is the "best" ROM.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quetzalcoatl2435:

What he said.

You like stock? -> Nottachtrix or Topogigi.

You like iOS? -> Why are you here? :p (j/k) MIUI.

You like stable vanilla Android? -> CM7 (and variants).

You like vanilla ICS? -> CM9 (and AOKP variants). Still a bit buggy, though.

You like Sense? -> Get an HTC phone.

You like AMOLED? -> Buy a Samsung.

All kidding aside, use whatever suits your needs (and wants).

Would it be possible to to link me to the stable cm7 mods? I've browsed through the developer forum and saw several, but don't know much about modding or where to begin. I did find your post helpful. I've been waiting for ICS for a while, but since those mods aren't stable and I'll settle for stock gingerbread. It's probably a lot better than motoblur gingerbread.

THANK YOU for replying! I guess it's good. No? If U say it is, I'll take it (:
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
THIS ONE is newer, faster and better on battery. Also includes rooting tools (to be flashed from recovery).

One malybru quoted is also good, but is GB, one i linked is ICS.

P.S. I'm using it at the moment and am very happy with it (rooted)
[HTC Sensation] benyben123:
YOU ARE GREAT!!! I thanked U !!!!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

All I know is that it is very close to stock.

I have never tried it myself.

It will not hurt to try it for yourself.

You can of course flash an RUU of your region and carrier.

This will return your entire phone(including recovery) back to stock.

It will leave you s-0ff.

[HTC Sensation] benyben123:
ohhhhh. I thought we're all on Sensation 4G for T-Mobile US. No?

That's what I want - RUU (whatever that means!)

(:
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
No, if you still want s-off and root you are better off flashing one of the stock roms.

With ruu you will lose root, custom recovery and other goodies.

BTW, if you have a look under our avatars you will see why we cannot be on T-Mobile US. :)

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. It is a utility you run on your computer to flash your device via USB.

If you want stock ICS go with ARHD and never look back. If you want GB stock rooted flash the RUU from that stock builds thread and follow the guide to root.

I've seen similar issues addressed elsewhere but with no explicit solution:

When I play music on any player (i've tried 3 of them so far) the playback stutters and stops only to resume when the screen's turned on again. Similar posts said the issue happened at the end of the song but not in my case. The playback sometimes restarts with long gaps an stutters.

Has anyone had this issue? Found a fix or a workaround?

Ps: Stock hc 3.2.1.

Double twist is nice on a phone but ugly when stretched to fit a tablet's screen and n7 is really nice too but you have to pay to get features you can get for free elsewhere and it's missing a landscape orientation which is the one I most commonly use on my tab.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laakkus:
Haven't tested compass yet.

Progress with gps testing:

Tried several radios without wiping the cache first (no help with gps, wifi&data ok)

Now using nexus radio kb3, seems to work :), have to test some more

KB3 (and KF1) also fixed the "always roaming" problem.

To get kb3 to function, had to (wipe cache +)flash kf1 first, reboot, (wipe cache+) flash kb3

At this point, the key for successful gps is to wipe cache prior flashing radio (modem)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroos:
Hi, tried your way also but no luck so far. Still think that the compass is of influence. Sometimes GPS works and then suddenly compass becomes unstable and is deviating and at the same time the GPS looses fix but still has satellites in view. I am getting desperate. will try some more.

I had tried different modems but none of them worked so the only solution I found was to open up my SGS and then do some hardware fixes....had to bend the connection "wire" of GPS. Now the contact between GPS and antenna is good, so this means I get the satellite lock in few second, even indoors!

Just search Google or Youtube and you will find how to do it.

Coming from Sprint, you're used to watching paint dry faster than you can down/upload a 5kb file.

Not so with us ATT peeps. Trust me, ATT is not without it's well-documented problems also, but a major metro area like Chicago having slow-ass-sloth LTE is beyond unacceptable when the bar of precedent has been set so much higher, in much smaller areas. Charlotte for instance!!!

I'm not comparing Sprint w/ATT for LTE speeds. I'm comparing Chicago with Charlotte of all frigging places, and Chicago comes in WAY second best there.

I checked the technical info on their website and saw the following piece of info:

If a web app can communicate with a Pebble, it should not be too hard to write a web app that communicates both with a Pebble and a WP7 phone, and a corresponding WP7 client app to drive the whole thing.

The Pebble people do not write something about a Pebble SDK on WP7, but I think if they tried they would only find out that a WP7 app does not have sufficient access to Bluetooth to communicate with the Pebble. That insanely locked-down WP7 API problem again :(

Update: Checked their info again. Maybe doesn't work after all, because the Pebble seems to need the smartphone to reach the Internet, and of course a WP7 phone could not provide that:

[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I like volume+ better since it has the ability to amplify the phone speaker sound (which DSP manager can't do.)

If you're getting distortions, maybe you're putting in too much bass?
