[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
This isn't Apple directly doing this though is it? It's Customs checking that these imported devices are not infringing the patent?
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Yes, I have read that as well. Combine that with them outsourcing all the manufacturing jobs to China (no offense to any Chinese people). What a total scumbag company.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Customs is doing what they are required to do thanks to Apple's court victory. This is all on Apple.

Apple could, at any time, tell the government to allow this stuff through. They are only doing this because Apple asked them to.
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
This is the part of the article that pi$$es me off....If Apple had a true patent dispute, they would have challenged the HTC One S too. Instead, they waited until the One X and Evo 4G LTE were shipping to contact US customs. I hope Google, Samsung, HTC and others can put a similar smack down on iPhone 5 when it is released.

http://androidcommunity.com/htcs-us-one-phones-already-work-around-apples-software-patent-20120517/

"Why is it that T-Mobile’s One S, a phone that’s similar in almost every software respect to the One X and the EVO 4G LTE, spared the same scrutiny? Could it be that both the One X and the EVO 4G LTE are competing directly against the iPhone 4S in the middle of its product cycle, months before it’s due for an upgrade, whereas the One S is running on a network with no Apple products at all?"

LOL. Take that apple!

And have you noticed how all of this began to happen AFTER Steve jobs died?
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
Not quite. Most cases like this end up getting settled with royalties being required, etc. what Apple did was to simply go for the kill to attempt eliminating competition, making use of our very flawed patent system
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
More than likely, since tmo does not carry the iPhone, unlike Sprint and att, it is not a direct threat to their sales.... Hence, they let it through. Plus, i believe this its retro active, which means that if it is found to violate patents, a court order could be issued to be pulled from the shelves.

If this is true it might be a good time to buy some Sprint stock. It's down again today, currently at $2.345 with a 52 week range of $2.10 - $6.45.

Surely the HTC customs thing is reflected in the stock price, and it will go up after they start flying off Sprint shelves.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reserved.:
I recently came from ICS, and having issues with wi-fi there. So I went back to stock, hoping my issues would be resolved. Awesome. They aren't!

Wi-Fi doesn't work. I have/had hashcode's latest kernel flashed. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? D:

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
How are you wiping when you flash roms? Maybe you have messed up how your kindle connects to wireless . There has been a Mac address issue with the new kernel maybe yours never reverted when you went back to stock. Have you tried other networks? Have you done a factory restore? Do you mean pure stock not rooted?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reserved.:
I wipe ; Factory Reset, System, Dalvik-Cache, Cache

And basically when I go to TURN-ON Wireless, no networks show. It doesn't even fully turn it on, it gets stuck in the middle of turning on the Wi-fi.

I went back PURE stock, NO ROOT. However, it seems I may have need of getting ROOT back. :/
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I'm still curious if you performed a factory restore when you returned it to stock. I suppose your case could be that something burned out the wifi adaptor of the kindle although I bet its rare but not completely unreasonable. After a new clean flash when you reroot we will see those results ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreeDo:
Probably totally unrelated, but have you ever had the locate-my-kindle software installed? I got similar weird behavior after a while when using that... first wifi networks were slow to come up, then it would struggle to turn on wifi, finally it'd just give an error and crash the settings manager or whatever it's called. I had to get rid of the software. Basically it was storing every single wifi network it ever came in contact with, even for just a second, and having too many entries hosed wifi. Uninstalling it seemed to clear those extra entries and restore functionality.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I do know that restoring your account from Google to your device and letting them keep copies of your wifi passwords can also cause issues although when I was testing roms for some devs on my droidx with known wifi issues ñot allow the Google restore and backup caused similar problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sgschwend:
I still have by 16GB Nook running version 1.4.0. But being in a 4G area this week I had my WIFI on and all of a sudden the OTA kicked in.

By holding the power button the device powered down. As you can guess each time the unit was turned back on the OTA would start again. So I fiddled with the switches and found the System Recovery mode. The Recovery restored the unit to as purchased condition. I did need to re-register the device to connect it back to the B&N account and re-download my library books. But at least I am still using the 1.4.0 version.

So I guess I need to learn how to block the OTAs. Certainly plenty about that here. I tried one pass in the barrel and found my Widows OS was auto cycling the USB driver and continuing to setup the Nook as a storage device, even after I had deleted the driver. So I will be back trying that USB driver change again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagarwa:
So, I hadn't really thought much of it until I read about multitasking fiasco surrounding HTC One X phones today. And I was thinking, even my Galaxy Nexus does that. :(

I open a ES Explorer, navigate a bit, go back to homescreen. Open a few more apps. Then I tap the multitasking button and tap ES Explorer. It doesn't take me to the last directory I was in. Rather, it's like I opened ES Explorer for the first time, including "ES Explorer has been granted superuser privileges" toast notification. Same goes for any other app. So, even my Galaxy Nexus isn't doing any multitasking for real. :mad:

Is this just me??

I'm on ICS 4.0.4 IMM76K.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Are you judging multitasking based on one app?

I just used connectbot to connect to my computer and hit the home button.

Opened an email and hit the home button.

Opened up Flixter, and a particular movie info screen, and hit the home button.

Opened a news story in Flipboard, and hit the home button.

Now to test.

Email: Yup, same email I left it at.

Flipboard: Same story and location on page.

Flixter: Still showing Battleship info.

Connectbot: Still ssh'ed into my machine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagarwa:
Nope. As I said - "same goes for any other app". I open an app, do something, open any other app, do something there. Then when I toggle between them, they kinda just relaunch. I don't get back to the last state I left them in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I edited my post. Doesn't mirror your experience, at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
Do you have anything changed in developer options to limit background apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Mine works fine too, browser to home to flipboard back to home to google voice to data/data in root explorer and then repeated the process and all still in the same place I left them.

Multitasking success I do believe!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagarwa:
Murphy's law - you won't be able to reproduce the error when tech-support comes to your desk.

Same thing happening now. After I posted this topic, I did a reboot and now the multitasking is working as expected. I wonder if it's just murphy's law in action or is it 'coz I did a reboot..... We'll never know. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It could be that you had a misbehaving app that was sucking your ram, causing other apps to be killed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Was going to mention a reboot, sometimes your device runs low on ram and kills everything. Saw this happen ALOT on my Vibrant, a few on my G2x, once on my Gnex (stock).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Wich its why they should put virtual memory just like windows does... As it runs low on ram go ahead and move running apps to sd"virtual ram", the user should be able to define the amount of virtual memory based on how many apps he uses... And so you can always go back to your previous state no matter what...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakeesh_j:
Problem with that is paging files are very I/O intensive. Not a problem on magnetic disks (other than being slow) but with any kind of solid state nonvolatile memory, I/O intensive operations shorten its lifespan dramatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Well true but coming up with more ram will end up eating out battery way faster..

Dear god no. Windows memory management model is far from ideal on phones. I'll take the Linux model any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Swapping to and fro any disk will eat more battery.

You can have 1mb of ram, or 2gb of ram. It all uses the same amount of electricity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
this is what I'm saying since ICS was released the first time.

ICS has a ridiculous multitasking, imho something like this can't be called multitasking, not in 2012 at least with deices with 1GB of RAM.

This graph shows you how the android activity is scheduled, ICS has an aggressive way to free memory resulting in a non multitasking environment

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

ICS has nothing to do with the Linux Model of memory management, so you can't

compare the linux memory management with the way used by ICS to manage the activity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Where do you think the Android kernel comes from? They are somewhat different, but not fundamentally so. Do some homework bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Who knows a lot, listen; who knows little, talk.

In every environment the memory management done by a virtual machine is completely different from the memory management done by the OS,

so Linux is completely off topic here.

we are talking about the multitasking problem, this problem is created from the virtual machine implementation that choose how to manage the activity.

we are at an higher level of analysis, the problem will remain also if the same VM could be imaginarily installed on another OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Android does not consist of a virtual machine only; nor does the kernel run within a virtual machine. What do you think is responsible for when apps get killed? The kernel. If ICS multitasking is broken, explain my results on the first page. Sure it isn't perfect, but it is not broken.

I like your saying:

Who knows a lot, listen; who knows little, talk.

Too bad you didn't think of it when you were arguing with Romain Guy about ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
What you don't understood is that the apps isn't killed, but the activity is restarted.

The activity isn't the app and nothing is killed. From your talking is clear that you don't know what an activity is and how a virtual machine works.

If you get an out of memory exception inside a Virtual Machine the virtual machine is the killer and not the OS.

The OS has no control over the app since the app is in a sandbox. The virtual machine is an app that run on the os, the os can control the VM but not the app inside it.

This is the Computer Science basics :) you saied me to study more :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You clearly had no idea what I was talking about when I was talking about memory management. :rolleyes:

PS. Learn a little about the Android kernel please and how it manages memory.

Moving on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I don't know what you are talking about, I know what we are talking about and it was android multitasking ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Your flowchart looks pretty, but I do not think it is really accurate. The OP might be using some aggressive memory management in the Kernel which is killing their apps. Leantweaks for Leankernel has something like this where you can enable a very aggressive minfree.

I have ES Explorer and if I am multi tasking between the browser, email, and ES Explorer I never lose the screen and folder I am it. It does this to the point that if I am uncompressing a rar file and I switch task to the browser, if I switch back to ES File explorer it tries to restart the uncompressing of the file again.

Not saying this is what the OP did, but some folks just use/install whatever mod, script, etc.. without really researching what it does and then blame the phone when something does not work right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You said that Android memory management has nothing to do with Linux memory management. That is false. The original response from me was a side discussion when someone said Android should adopt Windows memory management.

Try to pay attention next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I get it from the official google developer's documentation,

should we say to google that their graph is not really accurate? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Come on guys, really?

We could argue over who is right all day.

But the truth of the matter is...if there isn't a fix worth mentioning (The Minfree task killer changes that another mentioned are a good idea to ask OP if he's changed anything) then let's just drop it.

It became personal when you two started proving your worth...that nobody gives a **** about.

Drop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I never saied that android should adopt windows memory management since android and windows have really similar way to manage memory.

In any case the problem started when you started talking about linux memory management with the multitasking problem because as I explained you the app's memory are managed from the virtual machine and not from the linux kernel.

There is no relation between the two things, so you are off topic and you don't understood the point. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Well i dont see whats wrong with windows memory management??? Im IT manager and all my Net its based on windows servers /clients.. Mmm my servers until now have been running flawlessly and without a reboot for over 2 years and I dont allow clients windows 7 to reboot or shutdown either.. So far only 2 out of 70 machines windows 7 had rebooted and in a year and was cuz I ve installed some new hardware..

This its out of topic but i have 20 years in the computers world and im not allowing some random to just trashtalk about my experience... Yeah i know in the past it was not so good.. But lately i would not change windows in a computer for anything in the world...

Wanna know something else? I do work in an oil refinery and you know, process can not ever stop every second mean billions of dollars in gasoline.. So STABILITY its a RULE here.. Wanna know what kind of OS does the computers that controls all the process here in the oil refinery have?... Yeah its windows...

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
The multitasking model makes sense.

IF You are no longer viewing the app

AND Another app with a higher priority is launched

AND You lack the RAM to keep both open

THEN The lower priority app is killed.

UNLESS, the app is coded to not follow that model. Then it will kill itself the moment you leave the screen, or within a minute thereof, no matter what. Sometimes, this is desirable, like most banking apps kill themselves almost immediately for privacy. However, most apps that do this are poorly coded. It took me a LONG time to find office apps that don't kill themselves too quickly (HINT: Kingsoft Office or Mobile Systems OfficeSuite 5/6 work like champs, Docs2Go and QuickOffice, not so much).

Honestly, if an app properly saves its state upon minimizing, you'll barely tell the difference whether or not it got killed. Chrome saves your tabs if you power off the whole phone. It's all about the dev, as it usually is. Code properly, don't take shortcuts.

Hi Guys

I've tried so many different browsers, in the hope i would find one as good as the stock samsung offering, only with the option of importing/syncing bookmarks, but every one seems to have a fatal flaw that means i always come back to Stock. I've also just tried the new Firefox Beta, but found the font really ugly, and so another challenger falls by the wayside.

Well it matters not anymore, for a splendid chap by the name of cb56 has developed a superb little app that lets you import .htm files. It works in the stock browser and even supports folders! I've just tested it and can confirm it works a treat. Here's a link to his thread here on xda:
