[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I can think of no possible reason in the world for posting this in the Windows Phone section of the forum... I mean, this isn't releavant to XDA-Devs at all, pretty much.

That said, it's possible to reinstall the Windows bootloader to the MBR using the recovery tools (one of the easiest ways is off the install disc). Make sure you specify the correct disk to install it to. If you still have access to your Ubuntu partition, you could also try to restore the MBR (it should have made a backup) using the dd command to write the backup file straign onto the hard disk's MBR (typically /dev/sda for SATA devices).

im using the official rom for defy + 2.3.6 ..

and every time i switch my phone off and turn it on ..

i find that all updates disappeared and my phone starts to download it agian !!

for example adobe flash 11 goes back to 10.2 every time i switch my phone off and many apps too !!

why this is happening to me ??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfuture:
and google maps.. Angry birds .. YouTube.. Etc..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
I have the same problem here with flash player update. I had to completely remove it, reboot my defy and install it again from the playstore. After that I made a backup with Titanium backup for just in case. Have no idea why's this happening. :confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfuture:
OMG!!!

why this is happening ??!!! :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
I had a similar issue when I used the officially provided Froyo: not only updates, but some apps themselves disappeared after each reboot, besides other nasty bugs. Got rid of problems when I moved to Cyanogen Mod.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
Use Titanium Backup, long press the newly updated adobe flash 11 and select integrated to rom. This will made the adobe flash as rom files and it will never get erased again after reboot.

Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] shobon:
Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.
[Motorola Droid 3] Sokini_:
Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
This is not what you are looking for, but this is great for emulators and such. http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.

Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc

Yeah, one of his posts he said he used one, and that it was just "fragmented garbage"
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
He's right..Android is not a phone....it's thousands of phones as opposed to the iphone is but 1. As far as quality, I have dropped my phone 4 times on the hard tile of Walmart (stupid memo app for shopping lists) and barely a mark on it. My buddy is on his 5th iphone from each drop it shattered and killed the screen...there is your quality. But Masaidjet is correct, you can't argue with iphone fanatics...they already proved their mental state in their choice of a phone made for children to use.

[Epic 4G General] djjroc007:

And further to Darkie's rant; my buddy jailbroke 2 iPhones (4 and 4S) and both of them bricked. Had to pay Apple iGeeks a fortune to reload lousy OS. I can bring my phone back to Sprint and they don't give a flying rat's ass if its rooted or not.

CRUSH. KILL. DESTROY. SWAG.

Again, he misuses fragmentation. And he even mentioned the Galaxy Nexus by name in his first comment. Google of all companies, have specifically tuned ICS to work with the Nexus. It's their flagship phone. The OS was designed for that specific hardware. And because I doubt you know Java from a frappuccino, you must tune almost every aspect of the Android build to work for your device. You don't just whip on a build of Android and pat yourself on the nuts, it takes coding knowledge. Which you have none of. Yes not all Android devices are on Android 4.0. Not all iPhone originals are on iOS 5.1. That's asinine. Manufactures have the option to put GB on over ICS because they think there device will be quicker, more stable. and an all around better experience. Which by your incorrect definition of fragmentation... But I digress, I'm sure I would have already lost this guy at "Manufacturers have the option...".

And WE don't compare horse **** to the iPhone. Phone reviewers do. And they do it because every idiot and their brother ogles over the iPhone. Hahaha in your words "it's a marketing strategy...". Everyone is programmed to revere the iPhone, and by comparing AND CRUSHING it, people can have a better understanding of why it is an overpriced orphan turd.

The fact that he referred to Apple's iron communist fist over hardware and software as a good thing is enough for me to stop reading. I mean damn. That's just awful. If you look at communism from an "on paper" perspective, it makes perfect sense. Equality for all. If everyone had the same as everyone else life would be much better. But that's just downright not how the majority of the world works. And Android is the majority. Which I guess is even better for hipsters, eh? He even had the audacity to try and defend Apples price point. That's bull**** and you know it.

**** this guy and his couch.

Man, I could cut and paste this stuff back and forth all day....priceless! Don't want anyone to have an aneurysm though :) I have to thank you guys for the rants though, cause I have learned a few things today (besides not to argue/debate with an iSheep). Apart from you guys making my phone awesome, and me disliking apple, I really didn't know a whole lot of this stuff to be able to use as a compelling argument with my iSheep friends when they make comments or posts like that. But, the Twain quote does pretty much sum it up. :D
[Epic 4G General] piscesjoey:
Android wins, flawless victory, fatality.

LOL but you can't argue with a iFan though. I had one tried to tell me that Android is a complete rip off of iOS because Android stole the notification curtain from iOS, SMDH!

[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
I have a coworker who walks around with the sole purpose of talking about his iPhone. I asked him how he felt one day about not having flash. He responded by saying html5 will eliminate the need for flash... I love that argument seeing as though that he's had 2 newer versions of the iPhone since then . iPhone people are like a strange cult.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I love the brainwashing these guys go through and pray to the apple gods everyday. Its funny.

No one has 4g coverage eh? Now that's hilarious.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
So his argument is sometime, someday he will have a work around for flash? Even if and when that happens he does realize there are billions of websites that will need to decide to switch from Flash to HTML5? Wow..
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
I love when they pull it out to show you that "Siri" crap. They ask it some stupid question to get a ridiculous response, like "will you marry me?" Or "open the pod bay doors" to show her response, and I say "yeah, but do you ever USE it?" And the response is always "no, haven't had a need to yet".

And does it come with a voice turn-by-turn nav? Becz I can't find one on my daughters iPhone. My Epic came out of the box with 2.

I could think of much better uses for my $300, thank you...
[Epic 4G General] virgillette:
The iPhone reminds me of when my grandparents were stuck on AOL. Switching to "real" internet and email was so difficult for them because there were too many choices. AOL was way better for them because they did not want to think about what site to go to. They just liked clicking whatever AOL thought they should look at. I prefer to choose my roms & my themes, and set my phone up exactly how I want it to operate. Oh, I also don't want to pay a lot more for less functionality.
[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
Lol. Yup. I didn't even feel the need to argue at that point.
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
There's no use in arguing with an iDrone.

It's like trying to refute religion with an evangelist. They're so far deep in the rabbit hole, they ain't coming out.
[Epic 4G General] somedude0608:
So he is stating that people are going to have their own opinions and that's there are arguments for both sides. He explains in his opinion the iphone is better for him. And then we (the majority of posts in this thread) act as if we want to lynch him. Seems like this "fanatic" is the only level headed one. What ever happened to supporting competition. Its what causes companies to try to leapfrog each other in innovation...
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
Try re-reading his comments. Not once did he say the iPhone was just the better fit for him. He said that it was better because Android blew in every way by comparison.

I hate platform arguing a lot, it doesn't anyone anywhere. But I'll kidney punch an instigator.

And I was perfectly fine with your post until you said he was level headed. He is clearly not. Or he wouldn't be trying to argue a point that has no factual back-up. I do support competition, just not from Apple supporters...who stopped "innovating" after the iPhone 4. We no longer needed to leapfrog hardware after the iPhone 4, and we never needed to try and top them on the software front. They were already behind the curve upon release.
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
Futher to Darkie's comments above, I don't see where he is saying "Android is fine; I just prefer the iPhone". This is America. You can use whatever cell phone you want. If you want to use a Nokia 6600 or a Nextel i60, have at it. What he is arguing is that the iPhone is intrinsically BETTER than ANY Android device, and not giving any factual information to back that up. This is what has my man Darkie in an uproar. If you want to argue that point, argue it; but not with opinion. If you want to argue that Apple products are flashy and look cool, I'm good with that. But arguing about processor speed, quality of workmanship, and (mostly above all) that jailbreaking gives you the same functionality as rooting is downright delusional.
[Epic 4G General] Xiutehcuhtli:
I would just agree that the iPhone is indeed impressive, but that's what collusion, human rights violations and anti-competitive practices can do for a company. Then I would ask him to use his iPhone in direct sunlight.

And my friend that was posting actually gave up...lol. He told me he actually enjoys the platform discussions, but by me pasting, mainly darkiewrawr's responses, I think it took him to a level he probably couldn't compete with. :)

Just to add to the debate, iOS is in fact fragmented I saw great article on phonearena I think, where the writer mentioned how Apple forces updates on old hardware making the software laggy and unusable, love the video Xopher ima watch the whole series!
[Epic 4G General] thaiceman:
I may be a late comer to the thread but I love how Apple & Android was compared to AOL vs. the real internet, I believe I'm going to have to use that in a few discussions from now on.

More on topic I can think of no less then a dozen newer Android phones from just HTC, Samsung, & Motorola (More if you take into account the smaller companies) within the last 18ish months that are better then the iPhone 4s & many many more that are better then the iPhone 4 in terms of hardware.

Hello,

I have Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC-1 on my HTC Tattoo/Click. I wonder how do I wake up by sd-card-music with the standart alarm-clock?

The possibilities are:

1. Wake up with some crazy sounds

2. Start App when ringing... but if the alarm is on, the music-app starts indeed, but the music is not playing...

Is there something I missed?

If it is really not possible to wake-up with sd-card-music by the alarm-clock, this would be a nice feature... ;-)
