I do not want to dwell on it but Office has Home and Student versions as well. So it is consumer and enterprise so let us leave it as a push.

I cannot argue your XBox statement. The only parallel would be the struggle but it really ends there. Nintendo was no longer relevant in the hardcore gaming market since they went to the Gamecube, and the PS2 was old. The market was ripe for the picking for the Xbox 360 and they had a good product in XBL. Very different landscape in the mobile market. You are absolutely right.

But MS sure managed to make that real difficult with the RRoD :D

Like I said earlier, the most divisive issue on this forum is 'Will Windows Phone be successful?". Here are my reasons for answering in the affirmative:

Unless you are Apple, the essential components to widespread adoption are OEM and Carrier support. Then you need features and apps. And finally you need to differentiate yourself positively to pull people away from what they are currently using. That could come in the form of hardware and/or software.

Now here come the beliefs:

I believe Microsoft with all their billions will sink money into making Windows Phone into a contender. Here is where Windows Phone is like the Xbox and not like a Smart Watch or Media Center dvd player - multibillion dollar, well established market.

So if you have a product, say Windows Phone, and it is not doing well money can fix that. Buy developers. Buy carrier support. Buy OEMs. Money cannot fix poor direction or bad ideas. In my mind and it is my opinion, Windows Phone is well built. Money can fix Windows Phone.

But I suspect we do not agree on that point. That is where all the arguments stem in here. Look Windows Phone sucks now. But it won't forever. Yes it will.

Thanks for an objective, hate-free response, that is a rarity these days and not just on this forum. LTE is indeed an awesome technological breakthrough. It just so happens that I don't find it a necessity, but that doesn't take away from the accomplishment. I should not be bashed for it or made to feel like a caveman for it (not that you did, I'm just illustrating a point). My statement that a phone is a phone first was not meant to belittle a smartphone or its abilities. I've been on smartphones since the first Treos on Palm OS. They are the single best development since the microchip itself, IMO. I couldn't see myself ever going back to a feature phone. The point I'm trying to get across, the only point, is that there are dozens of different types of phones with different OS's from various manufacturers on a multitude of carriers. Each of us has different needs and different tastes and even more distinct biases and I think there is a "seat for every ass" out there. Live and let live, or as the prophet Marley preached "don't go point'n fingers if you 'ands aren't clean". Peace, love and soul.

[Windows Phone 7 General] GoodDayToDie:
Sega's hardware devision would like to poke its head out of the grave to remind you that other consoles did exist before the current three manufacturers. Also, the N64 and PlayStation [1] weren't that far apart in terms of who played them. Sure, lots of people only had one or the other, but plenty of people also had both. They got forced out of the market... and MS was nonetheless able to force themselves in. It took the better part of a decade to become really successful, though; the gen1 Xbox was a money sink, as was the 360 until the RROD issue was fixed, and even then it took the Kinect to drive sales of the 360 past the Wii in terms of rate (never mind total numbers).

Reading the first few posts of this thread, "People said the same thing about the Xbox" applies to most of them with only a little tweaking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I know someone mentioned that a Windows Fanboy would want to see the shares separately but anyone sound enough with analytical skills would want to see them separately IF you are talking about the success of Windows Phone and not Microsoft.

You would only want to talk about combined shares if you want to see how successfully MICROSOFT OS is. If you want to see how well Windows Phone alone has done - which is surely not Windows Mobile, then talk about only Windows Phone sales.

Now, Windows Phone sales in 19 months from it's launch = 1.7%

Windows Mobile sales in 73 months from it's launch = 4.1%

If I am doing my maths correctly, I don't see how Windows Mobile is MORE successful than Windows Phone. I just can't see it.

Same applies with Nokia and it's marketshare. I wonder why that article doesn't talk about how Nokia has killed off the production of Symbians, slowed down on Belle and hardly think of Meego. The transition of Nokia from one OS to another will take it's own time. People who own Symbians won't automatically all shift to Windows Phone right from day 1. Some of them will, if and when, their current phone doesn't appeal to them any longer. You've got to remember that Nokia's major markets are in countries like India and China where number of smartphone users is HUGE but only if you can give affordable phones like Lumia 710 and 610. These countries don't offer the contracts that we have in Europe and USA. People pay for handsets and hence find it expensive to change to a new one every few months and sometimes even years. Hence Nokia's struggle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timbop37:
Hi all.

I have ICS 4.0.3 routed with stock kernel. I have just noticed that when I try and save files to my internal usbStorage folder the process fails. The folder is empty and I have even erased all data just in case. I can save to any other folder on the internal SD card. I am a bit of a newbie so I may be doing something wrong.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Tim
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
The usbStorage folder is only for use with USB OTG. If you don't have something plugged in, such as a memory card reader or hard drive, use of that folder will do nothing useful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timbop37:
Thank you for such a quick reply. I am under the misapprehension that I have put videos in that folder in the past. Obviously not!

If you turn off HTC Gestures, you will get 10 point touch.

Otherwise its just 2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
Forget the noob questions:

1) What would be gained from 10 point touch (i.e. benefits)?

2) What does HTC gestures actually do for us?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Seggzy:
1. Some apps require more points. i.e. a guitar app forming a chord.

2. htc gestures is only for the 3 finger swipe up for "Media Link HD" which is for wireless screen mirroring.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Nice one (I was wondering wth htc gestures were). When I first saw it I was hoping it meant for things like lockscreen gestures, etc.

We really need a sticky for tips, etc for things like this. I know we have limitations without root but I bet there are still quite a few little tips/tweaks that would be helpful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Nice tip. I was wondering why some gaming was failing. Downloaded xmen from amazon app store yesterday and the joystick kept screwing up while i pressed the other keys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cmaxwe:
I was having a problem where my phone would go to Media Link while I was on calls (guess my face was rubbing it and kicking off the gesture). Turned the gesture thing off and no longer have that problem.

**** yeah!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paulfab:
Hello everybody,

I own a HTC Tatto, I'm trying to update the system to Andorid 2.3 Gingerbread and I have a problem with recovery I cannot solve.

I'm following the instructions of site wiki cyanogenmod

(I put the text below, I can't make a link on the page on this first mine message!!)

I've rooted the phone succesfully, installed clockworkmod recovery of different relases (3.*, 5.*) both from adb and ROM manager, but when I try to flash CyanogenMod I coulden't.

I have only 4 voices on the recovery menu :

- recovery

- apply update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

I tried to use apply update.zip, but it gives me an error of no signature problem.

Following the guide I wanted to do the steps :

Install zip from sdcard.

Select Choose zip from sdcard. But I DON'T HAVE THEM ON THE MENU!!!

Please help, I'm going mad about this!

Thanks in advance,

Paolo F.C.

i've rooted multiple phones before, i started out with my g1 a really long time ago, now i am trying to root my tablet and i cant get it to boot from the sd card into CWM, i have an 8gig hd micro sd, might it be my card or something? i formatted it, wrote the image onto the sd card and loaded everything in the exact same order that the instructions tell me to do, ive even tired other methods and none work. any help plz?

i just want to read my comic books!:mad::mad::mad::mad::confused::confused::confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It could be how you are writing the image to the SD. You should be using win32diskimager if you are running Windows. And you should be running that program as administrator. Also sometimes it makes a difference whether you are using the card reader in your PC. Sometimes it is best to use a cheaper card reader to put it in the PC.

So i own a dezire z from vodafone romania mine was factory unlocked so i used the gfree metod for rooting first i downgraded cuz it was 2.3.3 and i was using androdamus build for like a month afetr that i used miui still no problem , and then i tryed lightsense rom and my phone didnt work anymore i mean it start it works bluetooth and wifi but my phone as 3g and signal and carrier is not its just searching and nothing if i search after it manualy it finds the network but it wont connect.

I had a backup of androdamus and i restored it still no luck what can i do to make it work again i really need it anything i just want it to be a working phon e again .

Oh and something that really pisses my of is that all roms now go as ITALIAN the default language and no service whatsoever so please HELP ME
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Try updating radio, try changing/adding apn

Very strange that changing roms would effect your phone in these ways but if switching back to roms that worked still won't this would be my best bet. Also if you did a nandroid backupl restore that and see what happens
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminmocan:
thankyou for the fast response im sure that its not from the apn since i manualy added it as my carrier advised me i tryed the same setting on my old HTC tytn 2 and they worked so its the phone that shoud be blamed :)

aa can u please recommnd me a good radio ....i really dont know from where to download it and whichi one is the good one shoud i search after the one that im currently using ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Did you try a nandroid yet?

As for the radio there is a thread in the developers section with all the options, just search for it

I can't recomend one for they vary on what works. What is best where you live will be diffrent than for me. Trial and error
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosminmocan:
no i didnt tryed that , what do you mean by nandroid backup ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If you have a custom recovery, clockwork or 4ext, there will be an option for a nandroid backup (some custom recoveries do bart backups) it is highly recomended to do a nandroid before flashing anything to your phone in case something goes wrong. Think of it as a restore point. If you flash a rom or change some setting and you cant/don't want to fix it, you just restore with nandoid backup and all is well

Hi, this is just probably a stupid question, but is there anyway of unlocking bootloader when it says that it is not allowed after typing in *#*#7378423#*#* and going to Service Info, configuration? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

By the way, I did google it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] YBS14881:
Hey friend,

You have to unlock bootloader by SE Unlock bootloader 1.6v. This thread is available in development section. Just follow step by step.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
This will not work as it is the official way to unlock the bootloader.

Currently the only way seems only via paid method because fastboot is not enabled.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] YBS14881:
But I did it by this version and it successfully done.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XperianPro:
Well your phone was unlocked to all networks his isnt.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
That is because you had Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes.

He has it No, which means his fastboot is not enabled.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] patrick_mcnam:
Does that mean if I unlock my phone network my bootloader will be able to be unlocked?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
You need to do it via specific paid method, because you also need to get fastboot enabled. Just getting unlock code from network operator will not help, as it doesn't enable the fastboot and Bootloader Unlock Allowed stays No.

[HTC One X] RADLOUNI:
Hi Guys

Noticed yesterday a strange behavior with the music player. My mp3s have album artwork, and they are classified per "genre". so for example "pop", "rock", "soft", etc.

I noticed that the player will pick up one artwork from each genre and use it for all the mp3 files in that genre. So for example if genre "rock" has 10 songs for different singers, it will take the artwork from one singer and every song in that genre will show the same artwork when playing it !!!!!!!

i have checked the album artwork of every song and it is correct

Has anyone come across this before ? Thanks

I'm am having some trouble getting ActiveSync to work correctly. I triple checked that all my server and user information is correct, but the phone will not sync any information. The little spinners for sync'ing just spin and no actual information comes down. The only setting difference between this phone and my old Captivate is the lack of a "Accept all SSL certificates" setting on the HTC. Is that an ICS change or something specific to the HTC mail app?

Found my own answer

Wouldn't you know it. Five seconds after posting the phone finally gives me an error. I swear I had tried sync'ing a dozen times with no success and no errors. This last time there was actually a notification about the Exchange server wanting to set some policies and that I had to accept. Which is similar to messages I had seen on previous phones. As soon as I did that, down came the emails.

Personally i would buy a device that works with DLNA for any device, so not necessarily the HTC MediaLink. If you ever switch from HTC to Samsung for example, you still be able to use it. It's kinda of a waste of money if it becomes useless when you switch brands. MHL adapter would also be a nice choice.
